Significant Accounting Policies and Responsibility for Financial Statements

Financial Statement Preparation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , and the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimated. Weather causes the Company’s results of operations to be seasonal in nature and the results of operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

The Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include disclosures for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. This report uses the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. Discussions regarding only PNMR, PNM, or TNMP are so indicated. Certain amounts in the 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. Readers of these financial statements should refer to PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are included in their respective 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

GAAP defines subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Based on their nature, magnitude, and timing, certain subsequent events may be required to be reflected at the balance sheet date and/or required to be disclosed in the financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events as required by GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include their accounts and those of subsidiaries in which that entity owns a majority voting interest. PNM also consolidates the PVNGS Capital Trust and Valencia. PNM owns undivided interests in several jointly-owned power plants and records its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities, and expenses for those plants. The agreements for the jointly-owned plants provide that if an owner were to default on its payment obligations, the non-defaulting owners would be responsible for their proportionate share of the obligations of the defaulting owner. In exchange, the non-defaulting owners would be entitled to their proportionate share of the generating capacity of the defaulting owner. There have been no such payment defaults under any of the agreements for the jointly-owned plants.

PNMR shared services’ administrative and general expenses, which represent costs that are primarily driven by corporate level activities, are charged to the business segments at cost. Other significant intercompany transactions between PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include interest and income tax sharing payments, as well as dividends paid on common stock. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See Note 14.

Segment Information

The following segment presentation is based on the methodology that management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities. A reconciliation of the segment presentation to the GAAP financial statements is provided.

PNM
PNM includes the retail electric utility operations of PNM that are subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC. PNM provides integrated electricity services that include the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity for retail electric customers in New Mexico. PNM also provides generation service to firm-requirements wholesale customers and sells electricity into the wholesale market, as well as providing transmission services to third parties. The sale of electricity into the wholesale market includes the optimization of PNM’s jurisdictional capacity, as well as the capacity from PVNGS Unit 3, which is not included in retail rates. FERC has jurisdiction over wholesale and transmission rates.

TNMP
TNMP is an electric utility providing regulated transmission and distribution services in Texas under the TECA. TNMP’s operations are subject to traditional rate regulation by the PUCT.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment includes PNMR holding company activities, primarily related to corporate level debt and PNMR Services Company.

The following tables present summarized financial information for PNMR by segment. PNM and TNMP each operate in only one segment. Therefore, tabular segment information is not presented for PNM and TNMP.

Pre-tax amounts reclassified from AOCI related to “Unrealized Gain on Available-for-Sale Securities” are included in “Gains on available-for-sale securities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Pre-tax amounts reclassified from AOCI related to “Pension Liability Adjustment” are reclassified to “Operating Expenses - Administrative and general” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 23.2% and 15.0% of the amount reclassified was capitalized into construction work in process and approximately 2.7% and 2.5% was capitalized into other accounts. Pre-tax amounts reclassified from AOCI related to “Fair Value Adjustment for Cash Flow Hedges” are reclassified to “Interest Charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. An insignificant amount was capitalized as AFUDC. The income tax impacts of all amounts reclassified from AOCI are included in “Income Taxes” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Variable Interest Entities

GAAP determines how an enterprise evaluates and accounts for its involvement with variable interest entities, focusing primarily on whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of a variable interest entity. GAAP also requires continual reassessment of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Additional information concerning PNM’s variable interest entities is contained in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Valencia

PNM has a PPA to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a 158 MW natural gas-fired power plant near Belen, New Mexico, through May 2028. A third-party built, owns, and operates the facility while PNM is the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. PNM is obligated to pay fixed operations and maintenance and capacity charges in addition to variable operation and maintenance charges under this PPA. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, PNM paid $4.8 million and $4.7 million for fixed charges and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for variable charges. PNM does not have any other financial obligations related to Valencia. The assets of Valencia can only be used to satisfy obligations of Valencia and creditors of Valencia do not have any recourse against PNM’s assets. PNM has concluded that the third party entity that owns Valencia is a variable interest entity and that PNM is the primary beneficiary of the entity under GAAP since PNM has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Valencia and will absorb the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the plant. As the primary beneficiary, PNM consolidates the entity in its financial statements. The assets and liabilities of Valencia set forth below are immaterial to PNM and, therefore, not shown separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The owner’s equity and net income of Valencia are considered attributable to non-controlling interest.

Summarized financial information for Valencia is as follows:

During the term of the PPA, PNM has the option to purchase and own up to 50% of the plant or the variable interest entity.
The PPA specifies that the purchase price would be the greater of (i) 50% of book value reduced by related indebtedness or (ii) 50% of fair market value. On October 8, 2013, PNM notified the owner of Valencia that PNM may exercise the option to purchase 50% of the plant. As provided in the PPA, an appraisal process has been initiated since the parties failed to reach agreement on

fair market value within 60 days. After the purchase price has been determined through the appraisal process, PNM may in its sole discretion determine whether or not it desires to exercise its option to purchase the 50% interest. In that regard, PNM will evaluate all its alternatives with respect to Valencia with the goal of achieving a fair and economical benefit for its customers. Also, PNM is in the process of developing its 2014 IRP (Note 12). Through this process, PNM will evaluate all of its resource options, including Valencia, to determine the optimal way to serve its customers. If PNM decides to exercise its option, the approval of the NMPRC and FERC would be required, which process could take up to 15 months. Since the purchase price is yet to be established, PNM cannot determine whether or not it will exercise its option or if required regulatory approvals would be received.

PVNGS Leases     

PNM leases interests in Units 1 and 2 of PVNGS under arrangements, which were entered into in 1985 and 1986, that are accounted for as operating leases. PNM is not the legal or tax owner of the leased assets. The leases provide PNM with an option to purchase the leased assets at appraised value at the end of the leases. PNM does not have a fixed price purchase option and does not provide residual value guarantees. The leases also provide PNM with options to renew the leases at fixed rates set forth in the leases for two years beyond the termination of the original lease terms. The option periods on certain leases may be further extended for up to an additional six years if the appraised remaining useful lives and fair value of the leased assets are greater than parameters set forth in the leases. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Note 6, for additional information regarding the leases and actions PNM has taken with respect to its renewal and purchase options. Under GAAP, these renewal options are considered to be variable interests in the trusts and result in the trusts being considered variable interest entities.

PNM is only obligated to make payments to the trusts for the scheduled semi-annual lease payments, which, net of amounts that will be returned to PNM through its ownership in related lessor notes and the Unit 2 beneficial trust, aggregate $36.5 million as of March 31, 2014 over the remaining original terms of the leases and $145.2 million during the renewal terms of the leases that PNM elected to renew. Under certain circumstances (for example, final shutdown of the plant, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to PVNGS, or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), PNM would be required to make specified payments to the beneficial owners and take title to the leased interests. If such an event had occurred as of March 31, 2014 , PNM could have been required to pay the beneficial owners up to $144.7 million , which would result in PNM taking ownership of the leased assets and termination of the leases. Other than as discussed in Note 6, PNM has no other financial obligations or commitments to the trusts or the beneficial owners. Creditors of the trusts have no recourse to PNM’s assets other than with respect to the contractual lease payments. PNM has no additional rights to the assets of the trusts other than the use of the leased assets.

PNM has evaluated the PVNGS lease arrangements, including the notices, amendments, and agreements referred to above, and concluded that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trusts and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts under GAAP. PNM has recorded no assets or liabilities related to the trusts other than the accrual of lease payments between the scheduled payment dates, which were $11.8 million at March 31, 2014 and $26.0 million at December 31, 2013 , that are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Delta

PNM has a 20 -year PPA expiring in 2020 covering the entire output of Delta, which is a variable interest under GAAP. PNM also controls the dispatch of the generating plant, which impacts the variable payments made under the PPA and impacts the economic performance of the entity that owns Delta. PNM makes fixed and variable payments to Delta under the PPA. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, PNM incurred fixed capacity charges of $1.6 million and $1.6 million and variable energy charges of $0.2 million and $0.2 million under the PPA. PNM’s only quantifiable obligation under the PPA is to make the fixed payments, which as of March 31, 2014 , aggregated $37.7 million through the end of the PPA. PNM will also pay variable costs, which cannot be quantified since the amounts are based on how much the generating plant is in operation.
This arrangement was entered into prior to December 31, 2003 and PNM was unsuccessful in obtaining the information necessary to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the entity that owns Delta, or to consolidate that entity if it were determined that PNM is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, PNM was unable to make those determinations and, as provided in GAAP, accounted for this PPA as an operating lease.

In December 2012, PNM entered into an agreement with the owners of Delta under which PNM would purchase the entity that owns Delta. At closing PNM would make a cash payment of $23.0 million , which would be adjusted for actual working capital compared to a targeted working capital and certain prepayments of debt. Delta has project financing debt, which PNM would retire at closing of the purchase, amounting to $15.4 million at March 31, 2014 , including $3.3 million due by March 31, 2015 . FERC approved the purchase on February 26, 2013 and the NMPRC approved the purchase on June 26, 2013. Closing is subject to the seller remedying specified operational, NERC compliance, and environmental issues, as well as other customary closing conditions. PNM and Delta are working with the City of Albuquerque and EPA in order to remedy certain environmental issues. PNM anticipates closing of the purchase in the second quarter of 2014.
Delta informed PNM that at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , it had total assets of $23.2 million and $23.7 million , including net property, plant, and equipment of $19.7 million and $20.3 million , and total liabilities of $17.4 million and $18.2 million . Delta also indicated its revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1.8 million and $1.8 million and its net earnings were $0.3 million and $0.2 million . Consolidation of Delta would be immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of PNMR and PNM. Since all of Delta’s revenues and expenses are attributable to its PPA arrangement with PNM, the primary impact of consolidating Delta to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings of PNMR and PNM would be to reclassify Delta’s net earnings from operating expenses and reflect such amount as earnings attributable to a non-controlling interest, without any impact to net earnings attributable to PNMR and PNM.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases office buildings, vehicles, and other equipment under operating leases. In addition, PNM leases interests in Units 1 and 2 of PVNGS and an interest in the EIP transmission line. Additional information concerning the Company’s lease commitments is contained in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The PVNGS leases were scheduled to expire on January 15, 2015 for the four Unit 1 leases and January 15, 2016 for the four Unit 2 leases. Each of the leases provides PNM with an option to purchase the leased assets at fair market value at the end of the lease. In addition, the leases provide PNM with options to renew the leases at fixed rates set forth in each of the leases for two years beyond the termination of the original lease terms. The option periods on certain leases may be further extended for up to an additional six years (the “Maximum Option Period”) if the appraised remaining useful lives and fair values of the leased assets are greater than parameters set forth in the leases. The rental payments during the renewal option periods would be 50% of the amounts during the original terms of the leases.

Following procedures set forth in the PVNGS leases, PNM notified each of the lessors under the Unit 1 leases that it would elect to renew those leases for the Maximum Option Period on the expiration date of the original leases. In addition, PNM notified the lessor under the one Unit 2 lease containing the Maximum Option Period provision that it would elect to renew that lease for the Maximum Option Period on the expiration date of the original lease. On December 11, 2013, PNM and each of the Unit 1 lessors entered into amendments to each of the Unit 1 leases setting forth the terms and conditions that will implement the extension of the term of the lease through the agreed upon Maximum Option Period expiring on January 15, 2023. Similarly, on March 18, 2014, PNM and the lessor under the one Unit 2 lease containing the Maximum Option Period provision entered into an amendment to that lease setting forth the terms and conditions that will implement the extension of the term of the lease through the agreed upon Maximum Option Period expiring on January 15, 2024.

For the three PVNGS Unit 2 leases which do not contain the Maximum Option Period provisions, PNM, following procedures set forth in the leases, notified each of the lessors that PNM would elect to purchase the assets underlying those leases on the expiration date of the original leases. On February 25, 2014, PNM and the lessor under one of the Unit 2 leases entered into a letter agreement that establishes that the purchase price, representing the fair market value, to be paid by PNM for the assets underlying that lease will be $78.1 million on January 15, 2016. This lease is for 31.2494 MW of the entitlement from PVNGS Unit 2. The lease remains in existence and PNM will record the purchase at the termination of the lease on January 15, 2016.

On May 1, 2014, PNM and the trusts that are the lessors under the other two PVNGS Unit 2 leases signed a letter agreement that establishes a binding agreement regarding the purchase price, representing the fair market value, to be paid by PNM for the assets underlying those leases of $85.2 million on January 15, 2016. These leases are for 32.76 MW of the entitlement from

PVNGS Unit 2. PNMR Development, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR, is also a party to the letter agreement, which constitutes a letter of intent providing PNMR Development with the option, subject to approval by the Board and negotiation of definitive documents, to acquire the entities that own the leased assets at any time from June 1, 2014 through January 14, 2016. The early purchase price would be equal to the January 15, 2016 purchase price discounted to the actual purchase date. The early purchase amount would be $79.9 million on June 1, 2014 and would escalate to $85.2 million on January 14, 2016. The consideration paid to the lessor on an early purchase would include an additional amount equal to the discounted value of the lessors’ equity return portion of the future lease payments. Such additional consideration would be $5.8 million on June 1, 2014 and would decline to $1.2 million on January 14, 2016. PNMR and PNM are unable to predict whether or not the early purchase will occur.

Fair Value of Derivative and Other Financial Instruments

Energy Related Derivative Contracts

Overview

The primary objective for the use of derivative instruments, including energy contracts, options, and futures, is to manage price risk associated with forecasted purchases of energy and fuel used to generate electricity, as well as managing anticipated generation capacity in excess of forecasted demand from existing customers. The Company’s energy related derivative contracts manage commodity risk. PNM is required to meet the demand and energy needs of its retail and firm-requirements wholesale customers. PNM is exposed to market risk for its share of PVNGS Unit 3 and the needs of its firm-requirements wholesale customers not covered under a FPPAC. PNM’s operations are managed primarily through a net asset-backed strategy, whereby PNM’s aggregate net open forward contract position is covered by its forecasted excess generation capabilities or market purchases. PNM could be exposed to market risk if its generation capabilities were to be disrupted or if its load requirements were to be greater than anticipated. If all or a portion of load requirements were required to be covered as a result of such unexpected situations, commitments would have to be met through market purchases. Additional information concerning the Company’s energy related derivative contracts, including how commodity risk is managed, is contained in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
Commodity Risk
Marketing and procurement of energy often involve market risks associated with managing energy commodities and establishing open positions in the energy markets, primarily on a short-term basis. PNM routinely enters into various derivative instruments such as forward contracts, option agreements, and price basis swap agreements to economically hedge price and volume risk on power commitments and fuel requirements and to minimize the effect of market fluctuations in wholesale portfolios. PNM monitors the market risk of its commodity contracts using VaR calculations to maintain total exposure within management-prescribed limits in accordance with approved risk and credit policies.

Accounting for Derivatives

Under derivative accounting and related rules for energy contracts, the Company accounts for its various derivative instruments for the purchase and sale of energy based on the Company’s intent. Energy contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under GAAP and do not qualify, or are not designated, for the normal purchases and normal sales exception are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value at each period end. The changes in fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and elected. Normal purchases and normal sales are not marked to market and are reflected in results of operations when the underlying transactions settle.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company was not hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows from commodity derivatives through designated cash flows hedges. The contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify or are not designated for cash flow hedge accounting are classified as economic hedges. Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power agreements, used to economically hedge generation assets, purchased power and fuel costs, and customer load requirements. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are reflected in results of operations and are classified between operating revenues and cost of energy according to the intent of the hedge. The Company has no trading transactions.

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is based on current market quotes as available and is supplemented by modeling techniques and assumptions made by the Company to the extent quoted market prices or volatilities are not available. External pricing input availability varies based on commodity location, market liquidity, and term of the agreement. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities take into account nonperformance risk including the effect of counterparties’ and the Company’s credit risk. The Company regularly assesses the validity and availability of pricing data for its derivative transactions. Although the Company uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.

Commodity Derivatives

Commodity derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value, all of which are accounted for as economic hedges, are summarized as follows:

Included in the above table are $3.0 million of current assets and $2.3 million of deferred charges at March 31, 2014 and $3.0 million of current assets and $3.0 million of deferred charges at December 31, 2013 related to contracts, which were entered into in July 2013, for the sale of energy from PVNGS Unit 3 for 2014 and 2015 at market price plus a premium. Certain of PNM’s commodity derivative instruments in the above table are subject to master netting agreements whereby assets and liabilities could be offset in the settlement process. The Company does not offset fair value, cash collateral, and accrued payable or receivable amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements and the above table reflects the gross amounts of assets and liabilities. The amounts that could be offset under master netting agreements were immaterial at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , PNMR and PNM had no amounts recognized for the legal right to reclaim cash collateral. However, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , amounts posted as cash collateral under margin arrangements were $3.1 million and $2.8 million for both PNMR and PNM. PNMR and PNM had obligations to return cash collateral of approximately $0.1 million at March 31, 2014 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2013. Cash collateral amounts are included in other current assets and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
  
PNM has a NMPRC approved hedging plan to manage fuel and purchased power costs related to customers covered by its FPPAC. The table above includes $0.4 million of current assets and $0.6 million of current liabilities at March 31, 2014 and $0.4 million of current assets and $0.1 million of current liabilities at December 31, 2013 related to this plan. The offsets to these amounts are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In connection with managing its commodity risks, the Company enters into master agreements with certain counterparties. If the Company is in a net liability position under an agreement, some agreements provide that the counterparties can request collateral from the Company if the Company’s credit rating is downgraded; other agreements provide that the counterparty may request collateral to provide it with “adequate assurance” that the Company will perform; and others have no provision for collateral.

The table below presents information about the Company’s contingent requirements to provide collateral under commodity contracts having an objectively determinable collateral provision that are in net liability positions and are not fully collateralized with cash. Contractual liability represents commodity derivative contracts recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, determined on an individual contract basis without offsetting amounts for individual contracts that are in an asset position and could be offset under master netting agreements with the same counterparty. The table only reflects cash collateral that has been posted under the existing contracts and does not reflect letters of credit under the Company’s revolving credit facilities that have been issued as collateral. Net exposure is the net contractual liability for all contracts, including those designated as normal purchases and normal sales, offset by existing cash collateral and by any offsets available under master netting agreements, including both asset and liability positions.

Sale of Power from PVNGS Unit 3

Because PNM’s 134 MW share of Unit 3 at PVNGS is not included in retail rates, that unit’s power is being sold in the wholesale market. Since January 1, 2011 , PNM has been selling power from its interest in PVNGS Unit 3 at market prices. As of March 31, 2014 , PNM had contracted to sell 100% of PVNGS Unit 3 output through 2015, at market price plus a premium.

PNM has established fixed rates, which average approximately $37 per MWh, for substantially all of these sales through the end of 2014 through hedging arrangements that are accounted for as economic hedges. PNM is also partially hedged for 2015.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value for cash, receivables, and payables due to the short period of maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Available-for-sale securities for PNMR and PNM consist of PNM assets held in the NDT for its share of decommissioning costs of PVNGS and a trust for PNM’s share of post-term reclamation costs related to the coal mines serving SJGS (Note 11). The fair value and gross unrealized gains of investments in available-for-sale securities are presented in the following table. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the fair value of available-for-sale securities included $225.8 million and $222.5 million for the NDT and $4.4 million and $4.4 million for the mine reclamation trust.

Fair Value Disclosures
The Company determines the fair values of its derivative and other financial instruments based on the hierarchy established in GAAP, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs used in determining fair values for the Company consist of internal valuation models.

For available-for-sale securities, Level 2 fair values are provided by the trustee utilizing a pricing service. The pricing provider predominantly uses the market approach using bid side market value based upon a hierarchy of information for specific securities or securities with similar characteristics. For commodity derivatives, Level 2 fair values are determined based on market observable inputs, which are validated using multiple broker quotes, including forward price, volatility, and interest rate curves to establish expectations of future prices. Credit valuation adjustments are made for estimated credit losses based on the overall exposure to each counterparty. For long-term debt, Level 2 fair values are provided by an external pricing service. The pricing service primarily utilizes quoted prices for similar debt in active markets when determining fair value. For investments categorized as Level 3, primarily the PVNGS lessor notes and other investments, fair values were determined by discounted cash flow models that take into consideration discount rates that are observable for similar type assets and liabilities. Management of the Company independently verifies the information provided by pricing services.

Stock-Based Compensation

PNMR has various stock-based compensation programs, including stock options, restricted stock, and performance shares granted under the Performance Equity Plan (“PEP”). In 2011, the Company changed its approach to awarding stock-based compensation. As a result, no stock options have been granted since 2010 and awards of restricted stock have increased. Certain restricted stock awards are subject to achieving performance or market targets and some of these awards also have time vesting requirements. Other awards of restricted stock are only subject to time vesting requirements. Additional information concerning stock-based compensation under the PEP is contained in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Restricted stock under the PEP refers to awards of stock subject to vesting, performance, or market conditions rather than to shares with contractual post-vesting restrictions. Generally, the awards vest ratably over three years from the grant date of the award. However, certain awards with performance or market conditions vest upon satisfaction of those conditions. In addition, plan provisions provide that upon retirement, participants become 100% vested in stock awards.

The stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards without performance or market conditions is amortized to compensation expense over the requisite vesting period, which is generally three years. However, compensation expense for awards to participants that are retirement eligible on the grant date is recognized immediately at the grant date and is not amortized. Compensation expense for performance-based shares is recognized ratably over the performance period and is adjusted periodically to reflect the level of achievement expected to be attained. Compensation expense related to

market-based shares is recognized ratably over the measurement period, regardless of the actual level of achievement, provided the employees meet their service requirements. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , PNMR had unrecognized expense related to stock awards of $8.1 million and $4.6 million

The grant date fair value for restricted stock and stock awards with Company internal performance targets is determined based on the market price of PNMR common stock on the date of the agreements reduced by the present value of future dividends, which will not be received prior to vesting, applied to the total number of shares that are anticipated to vest, although the number of performance shares that ultimately vest cannot be determined until after the performance periods end. The grant date fair value of stock awards with market targets is determined using Monte Carlo simulation models, which provide grant date fair values that include an expectation of the number of shares to vest at the end of the measurement period.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine the awards grant date fair value:

Included as restricted stock granted and exercised in the table above are 112,864 shares that were based upon achieving performance or market targets for 2013. The Board approved these shares in February 2014 (based upon achieving market targets, weighted at 60% , at maximum levels, and performance targets, weighted at 40% , at below threshold levels for the 2011 through 2013 performance period).

PNMR’s stock-based compensation program provides for performance or market targets through 2016. Excluded from the above table are maximums of 198,369 , 179,811 , and 175,735 restricted stock shares for periods ending in 2014, 2015, and 2016 that would be awarded if all performance or market criteria are achieved and all executives remain eligible.

In March 2012, the Company entered into a retention award agreement with its Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer under which she would receive 135,000 shares of PNMR’s common stock if the Company meets specific market targets at the end of 2016 and she remains an employee of the Company. If the Company achieves specific market targets at the end of

2014 and, with certain exceptions, she remains an employee of the Company, she would receive 35,000 of the total shares at that time. The retention award was made under the PEP and was approved by the Board on February 28, 2012. The above table does not include any restricted stock shares under the retention award agreement.
      
At March 31, 2014 , the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, all of which are exercisable, was $8.0 million with a weighted-average remaining contract life of 3.39 years. At March 31, 2014 , the exercise price of 486,016 outstanding stock options is greater than the closing price of PNMR common stock on that date; therefore, those options have no intrinsic value.

Financing

Additional information concerning financing activities, including a TNMP cash-flow hedge that establishes a fixed interest rate on a variable rate loan, is contained in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Financing Activities

On January 8, 2014, PNM entered into a new $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “PNM New Mexico Credit Facility”) by and among PNM, the lenders identified therein, U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and BOKF, NA dba Bank of Albuquerque, as Syndication Agent. The nine participating lenders are all banks that have a significant presence in New Mexico and PNM’s service territory or are headquartered in New Mexico. The PNM New Mexico Credit Facility expires on January 8, 2018 and contains covenants and conditions similar to those in the PNM Revolving Credit Facility.

On March 5, 2014, PNM entered into a new $175.0 million Term Loan Agreement (the “PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement”) among PNM and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Lender and Administrative Agent. On March 5, 2014, PNM used a portion of the funds borrowed under the PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement to repay all amounts outstanding under PNM’s existing $75.0 million PNM Term Loan Agreement. PNM also used the funds to repay other short-term amounts outstanding. The PNM Term Loan Agreement would otherwise have terminated on October 21, 2014. There were no prepayment penalties paid in connection with the termination of the PNM Term Loan Agreement. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement bears interest at a variable rate, which was 1.11% at March 31, 2014 , must be repaid on or before September 4, 2015, and is reflected as long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including requirements to not exceed a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio and customary events of default. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement has a cross default provision and a change of control provision.

The existing TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement has an outstanding balance of $50.0 million that must be repaid by June 30, 2014. On December 9, 2013, TNMP entered into an agreement (the “TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement”), which provides that TNMP will issue $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.03% first mortgage bonds, due 2024 (the “Series 2014A Bonds”). The terms of the TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement provide that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, TNMP will issue the Series 2014A Bonds on or about June 27, 2014. TNMP anticipates using $50.0 million of the proceeds from the

issuance to repay the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement at its maturity and using the remaining proceeds to reduce short-term debt under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and/or TNMP’s intercompany borrowings from PNMR. In accordance with GAAP, borrowings under the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement, which are due on June 30, 2014, are reflected as being long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet since the TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement demonstrates TNMP’s ability and intent to re-finance the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement on a long-term basis.

Short-term Debt

PNMR has a revolving credit financing capacity of $300.0 million under the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility. PNM has a revolving credit financing capacity of $400.0 million under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility. Both of these facilities currently expire on October 31, 2018 . TNMP has a revolving credit financing capacity of $75.0 million under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility that is secured by $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds and matures on September 18, 2018. PNM also has the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, a $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on January 8, 2018. At March 31, 2014 , there were no borrowings outstanding under any of these facilities and the weighted average interest rate was 1.01% for borrowings outstanding under the twelve-month PNMR Term Loan Agreement, which matures in December 2014. Short-term debt outstanding consisted of:

Total availability at April 25, 2014 , on a consolidated basis, was $806.9 million for PNMR. As of April 25, 2014 , TNMP had $41.2 million in borrowings from PNMR under their intercompany loan agreement.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

PNMR and its subsidiaries maintain qualified defined benefit pension plans, postretirement benefit plans providing medical and dental benefits, and executive retirement programs (“PNM Plans” and “TNMP Plans”). PNMR maintains the legal obligation for the benefits owed to participants under these plans.

Additional information concerning pension and OPEB plans is contained in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Annual net periodic benefit cost (income) for the plans is actuarially determined using the methods and assumptions set forth in that note and is recognized ratably throughout the year.

PNM does not anticipate making any contributions to its pension trust in 2014 due to the current funded status of the pension plan.  PNM made contributions to its pension plan trust of $60.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 . Based on current law, including recent amendments to funding requirements, and estimates of portfolio performance, contributions to the PNM pension plan trust for 2015-2018 are estimated to total $61.5 million . These anticipated contributions were developed using current funding assumptions, with discount rates of 5.2% to 5.5% . Actual amounts required to be funded in the future will depend on the actuarial assumptions at that time, including the appropriate discount rate. PNM may make additional contributions at its discretion. PNM made contributions to the OPEB trust of $0.8 million and $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 . PNM expects to make contributions to the OPEB trust totaling $3.3 million in 2014 and $14.0 million for 2015-2018.  Disbursements under the executive retirement program, which are funded by PNM and considered to be contributions to the plan, were $0.4 million and $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and are expected to total $1.5 million during 2014 .

Based on current law, including recent amendments to funding requirements, and estimates of portfolio performance, TNMP estimates there would be no contributions to its pension plan trust for 2015-2018. The anticipated contributions were developed using current funding assumptions, including discount rates of 5.2% and 5.5% . Actual amounts to be funded in the future will depend on the actuarial assumptions at that time, including the appropriate discount rate. TNMP may make additional contributions at its discretion. TNMP made no contributions to the OPEB trust in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 . TNMP expects to make contributions to the OPEB trust totaling $0.4 million in 2014 and $1.4 million for 2015-2018. Disbursements under the executive retirement program, which are funded by TNMP and considered to be contributions to the plan, were less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and are expected to total $0.1 million during 2014 .

Commitments and Contingencies

Overview
There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Company. The Company is also subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and periodically participates in the investigation and remediation of various sites. In addition, the Company occasionally enters into financial commitments in connection with its business operations. The Company is also involved in various legal and regulatory (Note 12) proceedings in the normal course of its business. It is not possible at this time for the Company to determine fully the effect of all litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
With respect to some of the items listed below, the Company has determined that a loss is not probable or that, to the extent probable, cannot be reasonably estimated. In some cases, the Company is not able to predict with any degree of certainty the range of possible loss that could be incurred. Notwithstanding these facts, the Company has assessed these matters based on current information and made judgments concerning their potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought, and the probability of success. Such judgments are made with the understanding that the outcome of any litigation, investigation, and other legal proceeding is inherently uncertain. In accordance with GAAP, the Company records liabilities for matters where it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The actual outcomes of the items listed below could ultimately differ from the judgments made and the differences could be material. The Company cannot make any assurances that the amount of reserves or potential insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover the cash obligations that might be incurred as a result of litigation or regulatory proceedings. The Company does not expect that any known lawsuits, environmental costs, and commitments will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Additional information concerning commitments and contingencies is contained in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with the DOE that require the DOE to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste Policy Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE announced that it would not be able to open the repository by 1998 and sought to excuse its performance of these requirements. In November 1997, the D.C. Circuit issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay, but refused to order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOE’s delay, a number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other PVNGS owners, including PNM), filed damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims. In 2010, the court ordered an award to the PVNGS owners for their damages claim for costs incurred through December 2006. APS filed a subsequent lawsuit, on behalf of itself and the other PVNGS owners, against DOE in the Court of Federal Claims on December 19, 2012. The lawsuit alleges that from January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2011, additional damages were incurred due to DOE’s continuing failure to remove spent nuclear fuel and high level waste from PVNGS. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

PNM estimates that it will incur approximately $58.0 million (in 2013 dollars) for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at PVNGS during the term of the operating licenses. PNM accrues these costs as a component of fuel expense as the fuel is consumed. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, PNM had a liability for interim storage costs of $12.0 million and $11.9 million included in other deferred credits.

On June 8, 2012, the D.C. Circuit issued its decision on a challenge by several states and environmental groups of the NRC’s rulemaking regarding temporary storage and permanent disposal of high-level nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel. The petitioners had challenged the NRC’s 2010 update to the agency’s Waste Confidence Decision. The D.C. Circuit found that the agency’s 2010 Waste Confidence Decision update constituted a major federal action, which requires either an EIS or a finding of no significant impact from the agency’s actions. The D.C. Circuit found that the NRC’s evaluation of the environmental risks from spent nuclear fuel was deficient, and therefore remanded the 2010 Waste Confidence Decision update for further action. In September 2012, the NRC issued a directive to its staff to proceed with development of a generic EIS to support an updated Waste Confidence Decision within 24 months. In September 2013, the NRC issued its draft EIS to support an updated Waste Confidence Decision. In late 2013, the NRC held a series of nationwide public meetings to receive stakeholder input on the draft EIS. NRC Commissioners have instructed the staff to issue the final generic EIS and rule by no later than September 2014. Untimely resolution by the NRC of the remand from the D.C. Circuit could have an adverse impact on certain NRC licensing actions. Currently, PVNGS does not have any licensing actions pending with the NRC. The petitioners had also sought a writ requiring the NRC to comply with the law and resume processing DOE’s pending license application for a nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. In August 2013, the D.C. Circuit ordered the NRC to resume reviewing the license application. PNM is unable to predict the impact of these decisions.
In 2011, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the Nuclear Energy Institute challenged DOE’s 2010 determination of the adequacy of the one tenth of a cent per KWh fee (the “one-mill fee”) paid by the nation’s commercial nuclear power plant owners pursuant to their individual contracts with the DOE. The fee applicable to PVNGS Units 1 and 2 is recovered by PNM in its retail rates. In June 2012, the D.C. Circuit held that DOE failed to conduct a sufficient fee analysis in making the 2010 determination. The D.C. Circuit remanded the 2010 determination to the DOE with instructions to conduct a new fee adequacy determination within six months. In February 2013, upon completion of DOE’s revised one-mill fee adequacy determination, the court reopened the proceedings. On November 19, 2013, the D.C. Circuit ordered the DOE to notify Congress of the intent to suspend collecting annual fees for nuclear waste disposal from nuclear power plant operators. On January 3, 2014, the DOE notified Congress of the intention to suspend collection of the one-mill fee, subject to Congress’ disapproval. PNM anticipates challenges to this action and is unable to predict its ultimate outcome, but is continuing to accrue the one-mill fee. In 2013, the one-mill fee for PNM’s share of the output from all three units at PVNGS amounted to $3.0 million .

The Clean Air Act

Regional Haze

In 1999, EPA developed a regional haze program and regional haze rules under the CAA. The rule directs each of the 50 states to address regional haze. Pursuant to the CAA, states have the primary role to regulate visibility requirements by promulgating SIPs. States are required to establish goals for improving visibility in national parks and wilderness areas (also known as Class I areas) and to develop long-term strategies for reducing emissions of air pollutants that cause visibility impairment in their own states and for preventing degradation in other states. States must establish a series of interim goals to ensure continued progress. The first planning period specifies setting reasonable progress goals for improving visibility in Class I areas by the year 2018. In July 2005, EPA promulgated its final regional haze rule guidelines for states to conduct BART determinations for certain covered facilities, including utility boilers, built between 1962 and 1977 that have the potential to emit more than 250 tons per year of visibility impairing pollution. If it is demonstrated that the emissions from these sources cause or contribute to visibility impairment in any Class I area, then BART must be installed by 2018.

SJGS

BART Determination Process - SJGS is a source that is subject to the statutory obligations of the CAA to reduce visibility impacts. The State of New Mexico submitted its SIP on the regional haze and interstate transport elements of the visibility rules for review by EPA in June 2011. The SIP found that BART to reduce NOx emissions from SJGS is selective non-catalytic reduction

technology (“SNCR”). Nevertheless, in August 2011, EPA published its FIP, stating that it was required to do so by virtue of a consent decree it had entered into with an environmental group in litigation concerning the interstate transport requirements of the CAA. The FIP included a regional haze BART determination for SJGS that requires installation of selective catalytic reduction technology (“SCR”) with stringent NOx emission limits on all four units by September 21, 2016.

PNM, the Governor of New Mexico, and NMED petitioned the Tenth Circuit to review EPA’s decision and requested EPA to reconsider its decision. The Tenth Circuit denied petitions to stay the effective date of the rule on March 1, 2012. These parties have also formally asked EPA to stay the effective date of the rule. Several environmental groups have intervened in support of EPA. WEG also filed an action to challenge EPA’s rule in the Tenth Circuit, seeking to shorten the rule’s compliance period from five years to three years and PNM has intervened in this action. Oral arguments on the merits of the FIP challenges were held in October 2012 in the Tenth Circuit. In accordance with the court’s order, the parties have filed supplemental information.
 
In litigation involving several environmental groups, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a consent decree, which, as amended, required EPA to issue a final rulemaking on New Mexico’s regional haze SIP by November 15, 2012. EPA approved all components of the SIP, except for the NOx BART determination for SJGS. With respect to that element of the SIP, EPA determined that with the FIP in place, it had met its obligation under the consent decree.

Because the unchanged compliance deadline of the FIP required PNM to continue to take steps to commence installation of SCRs at SJGS, PNM entered into a contract in October 2012 with an engineering, procurement, and construction contractor to install SCRs on behalf of the SJGS owners. The construction contract, which includes termination provisions in the event that SCRs are determined in the future to be unnecessary, has been suspended through November 1, 2014. At that time, PNM estimated the total cost to install SCRs on all four units of SJGS to be between approximately $824 million and $910 million , which amounts include costs for construction management, gross receipts taxes, AFUDC, and other PNM costs, although final costs were to be refined through an “open book” subcontractor bidding process. The costs for the project to install SCRs would also encompass installation of technology to comply with the NAAQS requirements described below.
Also, PNM had previously indicated it estimated the cost of SNCRs on all four units of SJGS to be between approximately $85 million and $90 million based on a conceptual design study. Along with the SNCR installation, additional equipment would be required to be installed to meet the NAAQS requirements described below, the cost of which had been estimated to total between approximately $105 million and $110 million for all four units of SJGS. The estimates for SNCRs and the NAAQS requirements include gross receipts taxes, AFUDC, and other PNM costs.

Based upon its current SJGS ownership interest, PNM’s share under either SCRs or SNCRs would be about 46.3% .
During 2012 and early 2013, PNM, as the operating agent for SJGS, engaged in discussions with NMED and EPA regarding an alternative to the FIP and SIP. Following approval by a majority of the other SJGS owners, PNM, NMED, and EPA agreed on February 15, 2013 to pursue a revised plan that could provide a new BART path to comply with federal visibility rules at SJGS, subject to approval by EIB and EPA. The terms of the non-binding agreement would result in the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 by the end of 2017 and the installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4 by the later of January 31, 2016 or 15 months after EPA approval of a revised SIP. Certain aspects of this alternative are subject to approval by the NMPRC. At March 31, 2014, PNM’s net book value of its current ownership share of SJGS Units 2 and 3 was approximately $286 million .
Contemporaneously with the signing of the non-binding agreement, EPA indicated in writing that if the terms agreed to do not move forward due to circumstances outside of the control of PNM and NMED, EPA will work with the State of New Mexico and PNM to create a reasonable FIP compliance schedule to reflect the time used to develop the revised SIP.
This revised plan primarily focuses on how SJGS would meet the regional haze rule and also indicates that PNM would build a natural gas-fired generating plant in the “four corners” region to partially replace the capacity from the retired coal units. Detailed replacement power strategies also would be finalized.  PNM believes adequate replacement power alternatives will be available to meet its generation needs and ensure reliability.
It was contemplated that the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 under the revised plan might result in shifts in ownership among SJGS owners or other changes in the contractual cost sharing arrangements, as may be agreed upon by the owners. See SJGS Ownership Restructuring Matters below. Owners of the affected units also may seek approvals of their utility commissions

or governing boards.
The parties file periodic status reports with the Tenth Circuit.  To demonstrate that progress has been made toward settling the Tenth Circuit litigation, information, including the non-binding agreement and its accompanying timeline, was submitted to the Tenth Circuit. Following the parties’ submission of their status reports, on February 28, 2013, the Tenth Circuit referred the litigation to the Tenth Circuit Mediation Office, which has authority to require the parties to attend mediation conferences to informally resolve issues in the pending appeals. On October 17, 2013, the court ruled on a motion filed by PNM for abatement of the pending petitions for review and seeking deferral of briefing on a simultaneously filed motion to stay the EPA rule. The court placed the pending petitions for review in abeyance and set a schedule for the parties to file status reports. The court ruled that, if at any time the agreement in principle fails or is not implemented as was indicated in the term sheet and timeline, any party to the litigation may file a motion seeking to lift the abatement.  PNM is continuing to evaluate the impacts of these matters, but is unable to predict their ultimate outcomes.
Due to the long lead times on certain equipment purchases, PNM began taking steps to prepare for the potential installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4. In April 2013, PNM issued an RFP for SNCR system design and technology. In May 2013, PNM entered into an SNCR equipment and related services contract with an SNCR technology provider, but has not yet entered into a construction and procurement contract.
In accordance with the revised plan, PNM submitted a new BART analysis to NMED on April 1, 2013, reflecting the terms of the non-binding agreement, including the installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4 and the retirement of Units 2 and 3. NMED developed a revised SIP and submitted it to the EIB for approval in May 2013. After a public hearing, the EIB approved the revised SIP in September 2013 and the revised SIP was submitted to EPA for approval on October 18, 2013. EPA deemed the SIP application complete on December 17, 2013. It is anticipated that EPA will publish its proposed action on the revised SIP within 135 days of determining it was complete. On April 30, 2014, EPA issued an advance copy of its proposed approval of the revised SIP. It is anticipated that the notice will be published in the Federal Register in mid-May 2014, which will start the 30-day public comment period that is part of the EPA process. Final EPA action on the revised SIP is expected by about the end of September 2014.

On December 20, 2013, PNM made a filing with the NMPRC requesting certain approvals necessary to effectuate the revised SIP. In this filing, PNM requests:

Permission to retire SJGS Units 2 and 3 at December 31, 2017 and to recover over 20 years their net book value at that date, currently estimated to be approximately $205 million , along with a regulated return on those costs
A CCN to include PNM’s ownership of PVNGS Unit 3, amounting to 134 MW, as a resource to serve New Mexico retail customers at a proposed value of $2,500 per KW, effective January 1, 2018
An order allowing cost recovery for PNM’s share of the installation of SNCR equipment and the additional equipment to comply with NAAQS requirements on SJGS Units 1 and 4, not to exceed a total cost of $82 million
A CCN for an exchange of capacity out of SJGS Unit 3 and into SJGS Unit 4, resulting in ownership of an additional 78 MW in Unit 4 for PNM; the net impact of this exchange and the retirement of Units 2 and 3 would be a reduction of 340 MW in PNM’s ownership of SJGS
In its filing, PNM requested the NMPRC to issue its final ruling on the application no later than December 2014. On February 11, 2014, the Hearing Examiner issued an order finding that PNM’s application is complete. The order also stated that there was not a statutory time clock for the request to retire SJGS Units 2 and 3 and the statutory time clock on the CCN requests has not yet begun. The Hearing Examiner found that the NMPRC should proceed with the review of PNM’s application and establish a schedule that would allow NMPRC action on the application by the end of 2014. A public hearing is scheduled to begin on August 19, 2014.

The above estimate of PNM’s share of the costs to install SNCRs and the additional equipment to comply with NAAQS requirements on SJGS Units 1 and 4 includes gross receipts taxes, AFUDC, and other PNM costs. This amount and the above estimate of net book value of SJGS Units 2 and 3 at December 31, 2017 reflect the requested exchange of 78 MW of capacity out of SJGS Unit 3 and into SJGS Unit 4 resulting in PNM’s ownership share of SJGS Units 1 and 4 aggregating approximately 52% . The December 20, 2013 NMPRC filing identifies a new 177 MW natural gas fired generation source and 40 MW of new utility-

scale solar PV generation to replace a portion of PNM’s share of the reduction in generating capacity due to the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3. Specific approvals to acquire these facilities and the treatment of associated costs will be made in future filings. PNM estimates the cost of these identified resources would be approximately $276.3 million . These amounts are included in PNM’s current construction expenditure forecast although approval of the plan remains subject to numerous conditions. Although operating costs will be reduced due to the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3, the operating costs for SJGS Units 1 and 4 would increase with the installation of either SCRs or SNCRs. See Note 12 for additional information concerning PNM’s filing for NMPRC approvals regarding these matters.

As discussed under SJGS Ownership Restructuring Matters below, the owners of SJGS are attempting to negotiate agreements concerning numerous matters, the resolution of which is necessary in order to facilitate the shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 and comply with the revised SIP. PNM’s requests in the December 20, 2013 NMPRC filing were based on the status of the negotiations among the SJGS owners at that time. Although the negotiations among the SJGS owners are continuing, no agreements have been reached. PNM’s ultimate ownership percentage in SJGS Unit 4 will depend on the final resolution of the negotiations among the SJGS owners. Depending upon the terms and conditions agreed to as a result of the negotiations, including PNM’s share of the capacity of SJGS Unit 4, PNM may amend its December 20, 2013 filing with the NMPRC. However, PNM does not anticipate a change in the nature and capacity of replacement power required by PNM as a result of the on-going negotiations.

PNM can provide no assurance that the requirements of the plan agreed to on February 15, 2013 will be accomplished within the required timeframes or at all. If the February 15, 2013 plan is not implemented, PNM would seek to work with NMED and EPA to develop a revised timetable for implementation of the FIP. If an agreement on a revised timetable cannot be reached, PNM will likely be unable to complete the installation of SCRs on all four units at SJGS by the FIP deadline of September 21, 2016. In such event, PNM would need to rely on EPA’s pledge to work with PNM and the State of New Mexico to develop a reasonable FIP compliance plan or otherwise negotiate a solution with EPA or seek relief from the Tenth Circuit in order to continue to be able to operate the plant, including during the installation process for any alternate solution. If relief is not granted, PNM could be forced to temporarily cease operation of some or all of the SJGS units. If a shutdown was required, PNM would then have to acquire temporary replacement power through short-term or open-market purchases in order to serve the needs of its customers. There can be no assurance that sufficient replacement power will be available to serve PNM’s needs or, if available, what costs would be incurred.

PNM is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters or what additional pollution control equipment will be required at SJGS. PNM will seek recovery from its ratepayers for all costs that may be incurred as a result of the CAA requirements. Although the additional equipment and other final requirements will result in additional capital and operating costs being incurred, PNM believes that its access to the capital markets is sufficient to be able to finance its share of the installation. It is possible that requirements to comply with the CAA, combined with the financial impact of possible future climate change regulation or legislation, if any, other environmental regulations, the result of litigation, and other business considerations, could jeopardize the economic viability of SJGS or the ability or willingness of individual participants to continue participation in the plant.

SJGS Ownership Restructuring Matters - As discussed in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, SJGS is jointly owned by PNM and eight other entities, including three participants that operate in the State of California. Furthermore, each participant does not have the same ownership interest in each unit. The SJPPA that governs the operation of SJGS expires on July 1, 2022 and the contract with SJCC to supply the coal requirements of the plant expires on December 31, 2017. The California participants have indicated that, under California law, they may be prohibited from making significant capital improvements to SJGS. The California participants have stated they would be unable to fully fund the construction of either SCRs or SNCRs at SJGS and have expressed the intent to exit their ownership in SJGS no later than the expiration of the current SJPPA. One other participant has also expressed a similar intent to exit ownership in the plant. The participants intending to exit ownership in SJGS currently own 50.0% of SJGS Unit 3 and 38.8% of SJGS Unit 4. PNM currently owns 50.0% of SJGS Unit 3 and 38.5% of SJGS Unit 4. PNM is unable to predict the actions of the SJGS participants. Likewise, PNM cannot predict the impact of those actions on the ownership of SJGS or the operations of SJGS and PNM.

The SJGS participants have engaged in negotiations concerning the implementation of the revised SIP to address BART at SJGS. These negotiations included potential shifts in ownership among participants and between Units 3 and 4 in order to facilitate the shutdown of Units 2 and 3 to comply with the revised SIP and to accommodate the intent of the participants desiring

to exit ownership in SJGS. This could have resulted in certain of the continuing participants, including PNM, acquiring additional ownership interests in Unit 4 prior to the shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3. Based on the status of negotiations at the time of PNM’s December 20, 2013 NMPRC filing, PNM requested NMPRC approval to exchange 78 MW of its capacity in SJGS Unit 3 for an equal amount of capacity in SJGS Unit 4. Although negotiations are continuing, no agreements have been reached. The ultimate outcome of these negotiations could result in PNM acquiring more than 78 MW of SJGS Unit 4. The discussions among the SJGS participants regarding restructuring have also included, among other matters, the treatment of plant decommissioning obligations, mine reclamation obligations, environmental matters, and certain ongoing operating costs. The SJGS participants have engaged a mediator to assist in facilitating resolution of a number of outstanding matters among the owners. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of the negotiations.

The SJPPA requires PNM, as operating agent, to obtain approval of capital improvement project expenditures from participants who have an ownership interest in the relevant unit or common property. As provided in the SJPPA, specified percentages of both the outstanding participant shares, based on MW ownership, and the number of participants in the unit or common property must be obtained in order for a capital improvement project to be approved. PNM presented the SNCR project, including NAAQS compliance requirements, to the SJGS participants in Unit 1 and Unit 4 for approval in late October 2013. The project was approved for Unit 1, but the Unit 4 project, which includes some of the California participants, did not obtain the required percentage of votes for approval. Other capital projects related to Unit 4 were also not approved by the participants. The SJPPA provides that PNM, in its capacity as operating agent of SJGS, is authorized and obligated to take reasonable and prudent actions necessary for the successful and proper operation of SJGS pending the resolution, by arbitration or otherwise, of any inability or failure to agree by the participants. PNM must evaluate its responsibilities and obligations as operating agent under the SJPPA regarding the SJGS Unit 4 capital projects that were not approved by the participants and take reasonable and prudent actions as it deems necessary. On March 11, 2014, PNM requested that the owners of Unit 4 approve the expenditure of $1.9 million of costs critical to being able to comply with the time frame in the revised SIP with respect to the Unit 4 project. The Unit 4 owners did not approve the expenditures. Thereupon, PNM issued a “Prudent Utility Practice” notice under the SJPPA indicating PNM was restarting certain critical activities to keep the Unit 4 SNCR project on schedule. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter, its impact on SJGS’ compliance with the CAA, or the impact on PNM’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Four Corners

On August 6, 2012, EPA issued its final BART determination for Four Corners. The rule included two compliance alternatives. On December 30, 2013, APS notified EPA that the Four Corners participants selected the alternative that required APS to close permanently Units 1-3 by January 1, 2014 and install SCR post-combustion NOx controls on each of Units 4 and 5 by July 31, 2018. PNM owns a 13% interest in Units 4 and 5, but had no ownership interest in Units 1, 2, and 3, which were shutdown by APS on December 30, 2013. For particulate matter emissions, EPA is requiring Units 4 and 5 to meet an emission limit of 0.015 lb/MMBTU and the plant to meet a 20% opacity limit, both of which are achievable through operation of the existing baghouses. Although unrelated to BART, the final BART rule also imposes a 20% opacity limitation on certain fugitive dust emissions from Four Corners’ coal and material handling operations.

APS, on behalf of the Four Corners participants, negotiated amendments to an existing facility lease with the Navajo Nation, which extends the Four Corners leasehold interest from 2016 to 2041.  The Navajo Nation approved these amendments in March 2011.  The effectiveness of the amendments also requires the approval of the DOI, as does a related federal rights-of-way grant, which the Four Corners participants are pursuing.  A federal environmental review is underway as part of the DOI review process.  In March 2014, APS received a draft of the EIS in connection with the DOI review process.  Comments on the draft EIS are due by the May 27, 2014.  APS will also require a PSD permit from EPA to install SCR control technology at Four Corners.  PNM cannot predict whether these federal approvals will be granted, and if so on a timely basis, or whether any conditions that may be attached to them will be acceptable to the Four Corners participants.

The Four Corners participants’ obligations to comply with EPA’s final BART determinations, coupled with the financial impact of possible future climate change regulation or legislation, other environmental regulations, and other business considerations, could jeopardize the economic viability of Four Corners or the ability of individual participants to continue their participation in Four Corners.

PNM is continuing to evaluate the impacts of EPA’s BART determination for Four Corners. PNM estimates its share of costs, including PNM’s AFUDC, to be up to approximately $80.3 million for post-combustion controls at Four Corners Units 4 and 5. PNM would seek recovery from its ratepayers of all costs that are ultimately incurred. PNM is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
Four Corners BART FIP Challenge
On October 22, 2012, WEG filed a petition for review in the Ninth Circuit challenging the Four Corners BART FIP.  In its petition, WEG alleges that the final BART rule results in more air pollution being emitted into the air than allowed by law and that EPA failed to follow the requirements of the ESA.  APS intervened in this matter and filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction or alternatively to transfer the lawsuit to the Tenth Circuit. On February 25, 2013, the Ninth Circuit denied APS’ motion to dismiss, but granted the request to transfer the case to the Tenth Circuit. Oral argument was presented before the Tenth Circuit on January 23, 2014. A decision is expected before the end of 2014. PNM cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter or the range of its potential impact.

Regional Haze Challenges

On December 27, 2012, WEG filed a petition for review in the Tenth Circuit challenging the SO 2 and particulate matter emissions elements of EPA’s approval of New Mexico’s Regional Haze SIP.  On February 26, 2013, HEAL Utah and other environmental groups filed petitions in the Tenth Circuit challenging EPA’s final approval of the remaining elements of New Mexico’s Regional Haze SIP, as well as EPA’s approval of the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board SIP. PNM was granted intervention in both matters and the Tenth Circuit consolidated the two matters based on the similarity of issues. Oral argument was heard before the Tenth Circuit on March 20, 2014. PNM is continuing to evaluate the impacts of these matters, but is unable to predict their ultimate outcomes.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”)
The CAA requires EPA to set NAAQS for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. EPA has set NAAQS for certain pollutants, including NOx, SO 2 , ozone, and particulate matter. In 2010, EPA updated the primary NOx and SO 2 NAAQS to include a 1-hour maximum standard while retaining the annual standards for NOx and SO 2 and the 24-hour SO 2 standard. New Mexico is in attainment for the 1-hour NOx NAAQS. EPA has issued draft guidance on how to determine whether areas in a state comply with the new 1-hour SO 2 NAAQS. On May 21, 2013, EPA released draft guidance on characterizing air quality in areas with limited or no monitoring data near existing SO 2 sources. This characterization will result in these areas being designated as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified for compliance with the 1-hour SO 2 NAAQS.  Several states and environmental groups have filed lawsuits challenging EPA’s decision to designate only a few areas as “nonattainment” within the 3-year deadline, while leaving the rest of the country to wait until the states either obtain better monitoring data or conduct computer modeling.  Although the determination process has not been finalized, PNM believes that compliance with the 1-hour SO 2 standard may require operational changes and/or equipment modifications at SJGS. On April 6, 2012, PNM filed an application for an amendment to its air permit for SJGS, which would be required for the installation of either SCRs or SNCRs described above. In addition, this application included a proposal by PNM to install equipment modifications for the purpose of reducing fugitive emissions, including NOx, SO 2 , and particulate matter. These modifications would help SJGS meet the NAAQS. It is anticipated that this technology would be installed at the same time as the installation of regional haze BART controls, in order to most efficiently and cost effectively conduct construction activities at SJGS. The cost of this technology is dependent upon the type of control technology that is ultimately determined to be NOx BART at SJGS. See Regional Haze - SJGS above.

EPA finalized revisions to its NAAQS for fine particulate matter on December 14, 2012. PNM believes the equipment modifications discussed above will assist the plant in complying with the particulate matter NAAQS.

In January 2010, EPA announced it would strengthen the 8-hour ozone standard by setting a new standard in a range of 0.060 - 0.070 parts per million. EPA is reviewing its 2008 standard and has stated it intends to propose a new standard. Although EPA has not announced a timeline for its review, it may release new proposed standards in the second half of 2014.  Depending upon where the standard for ozone is set, San Juan County, where SJGS is situated, could be designated as not attaining the standard for ozone. If that were to occur, NMED would have responsibility for bringing the county into compliance and would look at all sources of NOx and volatile organic compounds since these are the pollutants that form ground-level ozone. As a result, SJGS

could be required to install further NOx controls to meet a new ozone NAAQS. In addition, other counties in New Mexico, including Bernalillo County, may be designated as non-attainment. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter, the impact of other potential environmental mitigations, or if additional NOx controls would be required at any of its affected facilities as a result of ozone non-attainment designation.
Citizen Suit Under the Clean Air Act
The operations of SJGS are covered by a Consent Decree with the Grand Canyon Trust and Sierra Club and with the NMED that includes stipulated penalties for non-compliance with specified emissions limits. Stipulated penalty amounts are placed in escrow on a quarterly basis pending review of SJGS’s emissions performance. In May 2010, PNM filed a petition with the federal district court seeking a judicial determination on a dispute relating to PNM’s mercury controls. NMED and plaintiffs seek to require PNM to implement additional mercury controls. PNM estimates the implementation would increase annual mercury control costs for the entire station, which are currently $0.7 million , to a total of $6.6 million . On March 23, 2014, the court entered a stipulated order reflecting an agreement reached by the parties. In accordance with the stipulated order, PNM will repeat the mercury study required under the Consent Decree using sorbent traps instead of the monitoring system used in the initial study. The results of the mercury study will establish the activated carbon injection rate that maximizes mercury removal at SJGS, as required under the Consent Decree. PNM cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
Section 114 Request
In April 2009, APS received a request from EPA under Section 114 of the CAA seeking detailed information regarding projects at and operations of Four Corners. EPA has taken the position that many utilities have made physical or operational changes at their plants that should have triggered additional regulatory requirements under the NSR provisions of the CAA. APS has responded to EPA’s request. PNM is currently unable to predict the timing or content of EPA’s response, if any, or any resulting actions.

Four Corners Clean Air Act Lawsuit
In October 2011, Earthjustice, on behalf of several environmental organizations, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico against APS and the other Four Corners participants alleging violations of the NSR provisions of the CAA and NSPS violations. The plaintiffs seek to have the court enjoin operations at Four Corners until APS applies for and obtains any required NSR permits and complies with the NSPS. The plaintiffs further request the court to order the payment of civil penalties, including a beneficial mitigation project. On April 2, 2012, the Four Corners participants filed motions to dismiss. The case is being held in abeyance while the parties seek to negotiate a settlement. On March 30, 2013, upon joint motion of the parties, the court issued an order deeming the motions to dismiss withdrawn without prejudice during pendency of the stay. At such time as the stay is lifted, the Four Corners owners may reinstate their motions to dismiss without risk of default. PNM cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter or the range of its potential impact.

WEG v. OSM NEPA Lawsuit

In February 2013, WEG filed a Petition for Review in the United States District Court of Colorado against OSM challenging federal administrative decisions affecting seven different mines in four states issued at various times from 2007 through 2012.  In its petition, WEG challenges several unrelated mining plan modification approvals, which were each separately approved by OSM.  Of the fifteen claims for relief in the WEG Petition, two concern SJCC’s San Juan mine.  WEG’s allegations concerning the San Juan mine arise from OSM administrative actions in 2008.  WEG alleges various National Environmental Policy Act violations against OSM, including, but not limited to, OSM’s alleged failure to provide requisite public notice and participation, alleged failure to analyze certain environmental impacts, and alleged reliance on outdated and insufficient documents.  WEG’s petition seeks various forms of relief, including voiding, reversing, and remanding the various mining modification approvals, enjoining the federal defendants from re-issuing the mining plan approvals for the mines, and enjoining operations at the seven mines. SJCC intervened in this matter. The Court granted SJCC’s motion to sever its claims from the lawsuit and transfer venue to the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico. PNM cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter or the range of its potential impact.

Navajo Nation Environmental Issues
Four Corners is located on the Navajo Reservation and is held under an easement granted by the federal government, as well as a lease from the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Acts purport to give the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency authority to promulgate regulations covering air quality, drinking water, and pesticide activities, including those activities that occur at Four Corners. In October 1995, the Four Corners participants filed a lawsuit in the District Court of the Navajo Nation challenging the applicability of the Navajo Acts to Four Corners. Although an agreement was reached resolving claims related to the CAA, the agreement does not address or resolve any dispute relating to other aspects of the Navajo Acts. PNM cannot currently predict the outcome of these matters or the range of their potential impacts.
Cooling Water Intake Structures
EPA issued its proposed cooling water intake structures rule in April 2011, which would provide national standards for certain cooling water intake structures at existing power plants and other facilities under the Clean Water Act to protect fish and other aquatic organisms by minimizing impingement mortality (the capture of aquatic wildlife on intake structures or against screens) and entrainment mortality (the capture of fish or shellfish in water flow entering and passing through intake structures). The proposed rule would require facilities such as Four Corners and SJGS to either demonstrate that impingement mortality at its cooling water intakes does not exceed a specified rate or reduce the flow at those structures to less than a specified velocity and to take certain protective measures with respect to impinged fish. The proposed rule would also require these facilities to either meet the definition of a closed cycle recirculating cooling system or conduct a “structured site-specific analysis” to determine what site-specific controls, if any, should be required.
The proposed rule would require existing facilities to comply with the impingement mortality requirements as soon as possible, but no later than eight years after the effective date of the rule, and to comply with the entrainment requirements as soon as possible under a schedule of compliance established by the permitting authority. EPA was required to issue a final rule by June 27, 2013; however, that date was extended to January 14, 2014. On January 10, 2014, EPA announced it would not meet that deadline. On February 10, 2014, EPA indicated it would issue the final rule by April 17, 2014 and did not intend to seek any more extensions. However, on April 16, 2014, EPA announced the final rule will not be published until May 16, 2014 due to the pending consultation activities with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. PNM and APS continue to follow the rulemaking and are performing analyses to determine the potential costs of compliance with the proposed rule. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or a range of the potential costs of compliance.

Effluent Limitation Guidelines

On June 7, 2013, EPA published proposed revised wastewater effluent limitation guidelines establishing technology-based wastewater discharge limitations for fossil fuel-fired electric power plants.  EPA’s proposal offers numerous options that target metals and other pollutants in wastewater streams originating from fly ash and bottom ash handling activities, scrubber activities, and non-chemical metal cleaning waste operations.  The preferred alternatives differ with respect to the scope of requirements that would be applicable to existing discharges of pollutants found in wastestreams generated at existing power plants. All four alternatives would establish a “zero discharge” effluent limit for all pollutants in fly ash transport water. However, requirements governing bottom ash transport water differ depending on which alternative EPA ultimately chooses and could range from effluent limits based on Best Available Technology Economically Achievable to “zero discharge” effluent limits. Depending on which alternative EPA finalizes, Four Corners may be required to change equipment and operating practices affecting boilers and ash handling systems, as well as change its waste disposal techniques. PNM has reviewed the proposed rule and continues to assess the potential impact to SJGS and Reeves Station, the only PNM-operated power plants that would be covered by the proposed rule. On April 9, 2014, several environmental groups agreed to allow EPA until September 30, 2015 to issue final effluent limits. Under the agreement, EPA will not seek any further extensions and will follow through on a separate agreement to issue a final rule on coal ash waste disposal by December 19, 2014. If EPA misses the December 19, 2014 deadline to issue a coal ash rule, then the agreement allows the environmental groups to require the EPA to issue the final effluent limits earlier. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or a range of the potential costs of compliance.

Santa Fe Generating Station
PNM and the NMED are parties to agreements under which PNM installed a remediation system to treat water from a City of Santa Fe municipal supply well, an extraction well, and monitoring wells to address gasoline contamination in the groundwater at the site of the former Santa Fe Generating Station and service center. PNM believes the observed groundwater contamination originated from off-site sources, but agreed to operate the remediation facilities until the groundwater meets applicable federal and state standards or until the NMED determines that additional remediation is not required, whichever is earlier. The City of Santa Fe has indicated that since the City no longer needs the water from the well, the City would prefer to discontinue its operation and maintain it only as a backup water source. However, for PNM’s groundwater remediation system to operate, the water well must be in service. Currently, PNM is not able to assess the duration of this project or estimate the impact on its obligations if the City of Santa Fe ceases to operate the water well.
The Superfund Oversight Section of the NMED has conducted multiple investigations into the chlorinated solvent plume in the vicinity of the site of the former Santa Fe Generating Station. In February 2008, a NMED site inspection report was submitted to EPA, which states that neither the source nor extent of contamination has been determined and also states that the source may not be the former Santa Fe Generating Station. The NMED investigation is ongoing. In January 2013, NMED notified PNM that monitoring results from April 2012 showed elevated concentrations of nitrate in three monitoring wells and an increase in free-phase hydrocarbons in another well. None of these wells are routinely monitored as part of PNM’s obligations under the settlement agreement. In April 2013, NMED conducted the same level of testing on the wells as was conducted in April 2012, which produced similar results. PNM voluntarily agreed to conduct similar sampling activities on the site beginning in April 2014, as well as more specific “fingerprint” analysis, which may help identify potential off-site sources. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter and does not believe the former generating station is the source of the nitrates or the increased levels of free-phase hydrocarbons, but no conclusive determinations have been made.
Coal Combustion Byproducts Waste Disposal
CCBs consisting of fly ash, bottom ash, and gypsum from SJGS are currently disposed of in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant. SJGS does not operate any CCB impoundments. The Mining and Minerals Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department currently regulates mine placement of ash with federal oversight by the OSM. APS disposes of CCBs in ash ponds and dry storage areas at Four Corners and also sells a portion of its fly ash for beneficial uses, such as a constituent in concrete production.  Ash management at Four Corners is regulated by EPA and the New Mexico State Engineer’s Office. 
In June 2010, EPA published a proposed rule that includes two options for waste designation of coal ash. One option is to regulate CCBs as a hazardous waste, which would allow EPA to create a comprehensive federal program for waste management and disposal of CCBs. The other option is to regulate CCBs as a non-hazardous waste, which would provide EPA with the authority to develop performance standards for waste management facilities handling the CCBs and would be enforced primarily by state authorities or through citizen suits. Both options allow for continued use of CCBs in beneficial applications. EPA’s proposal does not address the placement of CCBs in surface mine pits for reclamation. An OSM CCB rulemaking team has been formed to develop a proposed rule. 
On April 5, 2012, several environmental groups, including Sierra Club, filed a citizen suit in the D.C. Circuit claiming that EPA has failed to review and revise RCRA’s regulations with respect to CCBs. The groups allege that EPA has already determined that revisions to the CCBs regulations are necessary and that EPA now has a non-discretionary duty to revise the regulations. The environmental groups asked the court to direct EPA to complete its review of the regulation of CCBs and a hazardous waste analytical procedure and to issue necessary revisions of such regulations as soon as possible. Two industry group members subsequently filed separate lawsuits in the D.C. Circuit seeking to ensure that disposal of coal ash would not be regulated as a hazardous waste. The environmental and industry lawsuits have been consolidated. On January 29, 2014, EPA entered into a consent decree directing EPA to publish its final action regarding whether or not to pursue the proposed non-hazardous waste option for CCBs by December 19, 2014.

PNM advocates for the non-hazardous regulation of CCBs. If CCBs are ultimately regulated as a hazardous waste, costs could increase significantly. PNM would seek recovery from its ratepayers of all costs that are ultimately incurred. PNM cannot

predict the outcome of EPA’s or OSM’s proposed rulemaking regarding CCB regulation, including mine placement of CCBs, or whether these actions will have a material impact on its operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (“HAPs”) Rulemaking

In December 2011, the EPA issued its final Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (“MATS”) to reduce emissions of heavy metals, including mercury, arsenic, chromium, and nickel, as well as acid gases, including hydrochloric and hydrofluoric gases, from coal and oil-fired electric generating units with a capacity of at least 25 MW. Existing facilities will generally have up to four years to demonstrate compliance with the new rule. PNM’s assessment of MATS indicates that the control equipment currently used at SJGS allows the plant to meet the emission standards set forth in the rule. With regard to mercury, stack testing performed for EPA during the MATS rulemaking process showed that SJGS achieved a mercury removal rate of 99% or greater. APS has determined that no additional equipment will be required at Four Corners Units 4 and 5 to comply with the rule. 

Other Commitments and Contingencies
Coal Supply
The coal requirements for SJGS are being supplied by SJCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP. In addition to coal delivered to meet the current needs of SJGS, PNM prepays SJCC for certain coal mined but not yet delivered to the plant site. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, prepayments for coal, which are included in other current assets, amounted to $16.0 million and $12.3 million . These amounts reflect delivery of a portion of the prepaid coal and its utilization due to the mine fire incident described below. SJCC holds certain federal, state, and private coal leases and has an underground coal sales agreement to supply processed coal for operation of SJGS through 2017. Under the coal sales agreement, SJCC is reimbursed for all costs for mining and delivering the coal, including an allocated portion of administrative costs, and receives a return on its investment. BHP Minerals International, Inc. has guaranteed the obligations of SJCC under the coal agreement. The coal agreement contemplates the delivery of coal that would supply substantially all the requirements of SJGS through December 31, 2017.
APS purchases all of Four Corners’ coal requirements from a supplier that was also a subsidiary of BHP and had a long-term lease of coal reserves with the Navajo Nation. That contract was to expire on July 6, 2016 with pricing determined using an escalating base-price. On December 30, 2013, ownership of the mine was transferred to an entity owned by the Navajo Nation and a new coal supply contract for Four Corners, expiring in 2031, was entered into with that entity. The BHP subsidiary is to be retained as the mine manager and operator until July 2016. Coal costs are anticipated to increase approximately 21% for the first full year of the new contract and will further increase over the contract term. PNM anticipates that its share of the increased costs will be recovered through its FPPAC.
In 2013, PNM updated its study of the final reclamation costs for both the surface mines that previously provided coal to SJGS and the current underground mine providing coal and revised its estimates of the final reclamation costs. This estimate reflects that, with the proposed shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 described above, the mine providing coal to SJGS will continue to operate through 2053, the anticipated life of SJGS. The 2013 estimate for decommissioning the Four Corners mine reflects the operation of the mine through 2031, the term of the new coal supply agreement. Based on the 2013 estimates, remaining payments for mine reclamation, in future dollars, are estimated to be $55.1 million for the surface mines at both SJGS and Four Corners and $93.3 million for the underground mine at SJGS as of March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, liabilities, in current dollars, of $23.6 million and $23.8 million for surface mine reclamation and $7.9 million and $7.8 million for underground mine reclamation were recorded in other deferred credits.
PNM collects a provision for surface and underground mine reclamation costs in its rates. The NMPRC has capped the amount that can be collected from ratepayers for final reclamation of the surface mines at $100.0 million . Previously, PNM recorded a regulatory asset for the $100.0 million and recovers the amortization of this regulatory asset in rates. If future estimates increase the liability for surface mine reclamation, the excess would be expensed at that time. In conjunction with the proposed shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 to comply with the BART requirements of the CAA discussed under The Clean Air Act - Regional Haze - SJGS above, an updated coal mine reclamation study was requested by the SJGS participants. As discussed under Coal Combustion Byproducts Waste Disposal above, SJGS currently disposes of CCBs from the plant in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant. The updated coal mine reclamation study indicates reclamation costs have increased, including significant increases due to the proposed shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3, although the timing of payments will be delayed. The shutdown of Units

2 and 3 would reduce the amount of CCBs generated over the remaining life of SJGS, which could result in a significant increase in the amount of fill dirt required to remediate the underground mine area thereby increasing the overall reclamation costs. It has not been decided how costs would be divided among the owners of SJGS. Regulatory determinations made by the NMPRC may also affect the impact on PNM. The reclamation amounts discussed above reflect PNM’s estimates of its share of the revised costs. PNM is currently unable to determine the outcome of these matters or the range of possible impacts.
San Juan Underground Mine Fire Incident
On September 9, 2011, a fire was discovered at the underground mine owned and operated by SJCC that provides coal for SJGS. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) was notified of the incident. On September 12, 2011, SJCC informed PNM that the fire was extinguished. However, MSHA required sealing the incident area and confirmation of a noncombustible environment before allowing re-entry of the sealed area. SJCC regained entry into the sealed area of the mine in early March 2012. At that time, MSHA conducted a root cause analysis inspection of the incident area, but has not yet issued its report. SJCC has completed inspection of the mine equipment and reported no significant damage. SJCC removed the equipment from the impacted mine panel and reassembled it at a new panel face. On May 4, 2012, SJCC received approval from MSHA and resumed longwall mining operations.
The costs of the mine recovery flowed through the cost-reimbursable component of the coal supply agreement. PNM included the portion of such costs allocable to its customers subject to New Mexico regulation in its FPPAC. PNM’s filings with the NMPRC reflected an estimate that this incident increased coal costs and the deferral of cost recovery under the FPPAC by between $17.4 million and $21.6 million . SJCC submitted an insurance claim regarding the costs it incurred due to the mine fire and informed PNM that it settled with its insurance carrier. PNM’s portion of the insurance recovery is estimated to be $18.7 million . PNM has credited its FPPAC balancing account for the amount of its estimated insurance proceeds allocable to PNM’s New Mexico jurisdictional customers. SJCC is refunding the insurance recovery to the owners of SJGS through reductions of the cost of purchases under the coal supply agreement. See Note 12.

Continuous Highwall Mining Royalty Rate

In August 2013, the DOI Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) issued a proposed rulemaking that would retroactively apply the surface mining royalty rate of 12.5% to continuous highwall mining (“CHM”).  Comments regarding the rulemaking were due on October 11, 2013, and PNM submitted comments in opposition to the proposed rule. There is no legal deadline for adoption of the final rule.

SJCC utilized the CHM technique from 2000 to 2003 and, with the approval of the Farmington, New Mexico Field Office of BLM to reclassify the final highwall as underground reserves, applied the 8.0% underground mining royalty rate to coal mined using CHM and sold to SJGS.  In March 2001, SJCC learned that the DOI Minerals Management Service (“MMS”) disagreed with the application of the underground royalty rate to CHM.  In August 2006, SJCC and MMS entered into a settlement agreement tolling the statute of limitations on any administrative action to recover unpaid royalties until BLM issued a final, non-appealable determination as to the proper rate for CHM-mined coal.  The proposed BLM rulemaking has the potential to terminate the tolling provision of the settlement agreement, and underpaid royalties of approximately $5 million for SJGS would become due if the proposed BLM rule is adopted as proposed.  PNM’s share of any amount that is ultimately paid would be approximately 46.3% , none of which would be passed through PNM’s FPPAC. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
SJCC Arbitration
The coal supply agreement for SJGS provides that the participants in SJGS have the right to audit the costs billed by SJCC. An independent accounting firm has been engaged to perform audits of the costs billed under the provisions of the contract. The audit for the period from 2006 through 2009 resulted in disagreements between the SJGS participants and SJCC. As provided in the contract, certain issues have been submitted to a panel for binding arbitration. The issues are: 1) whether the SJGS participants owe SJCC unbilled mining costs of $5.2 million or whether SJCC owes the SJGS participants overbilled mining costs of $1.1 million , and 2) whether SJCC billed the SJGS participants $13.9 million as mining costs that SJCC should have considered to be capital costs, which are not billable under the mining contract.  PNM’s share of any amounts resulting from the arbitration would be approximately 46.3% . Of PNM’s share of the costs, approximately 33% of the first issue as well as approximately 25% of the

second issue would be passed through PNM’s FPPAC and the rest would impact earnings. A hearing before the arbitration panel on the remaining issues is scheduled to be held in May 2014. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of the arbitration hearing.
Four Corners Severance Tax Assessment

On May 23, 2013, the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department (“NMTRD”) issued a notice of assessment for coal severance surtax, penalty, and interest totaling approximately $30 million related to coal supplied under the coal supply agreement for Four Corners. PNM’s share of any amounts paid related to this assessment would be approximately 8% , all of which would be passed through PNM’s FPPAC. For procedural reasons, on behalf of the Four Corners co-owners, including PNM, the coal supplier made a partial payment of the assessment and immediately filed a refund claim with respect to that partial payment in August 2013. The NMTRD denied the refund claim. On December 19, 2013, the coal supplier and APS, on its own behalf and as operating agent for Four Corners, filed a complaint in the New Mexico District Court contesting both the validity of the assessment and the refund claim denial. PNM believes the assessment and the refund claim denial are without merit, but cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters
Public liability for incidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both private sources and an industry retrospective payment plan. In accordance with the Price-Anderson Act, the PVNGS participants have insurance for public liability exposure for a nuclear incident totaling $13.6 billion per occurrence. Commercial insurance carriers provide $375 million and $13.2 billion is provided through a mandatory industry wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, PNM could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments. Based on PNM’s 10.2% interest in each of the three PVNGS units, PNM’s maximum potential retrospective premium assessment per incident for all three units is $38.9 million , with an annual payment limitation of $5.7 million .

The PVNGS participants maintain “all risk” (including nuclear hazards) insurance for damage to, and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of $2.75 billion , a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination. These coverages are provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (“NEIL”). Effective April 1, 2014, a sublimit of $2.25 billion for non-nuclear property damage losses has been enacted to the primary policy offered by NEIL. If NEIL’s losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds, PNM is subject to retrospective assessments of $4.8 million for each retrospective assessment declared by NEIL’s Board of Directors. The insurance coverages discussed in this and the previous paragraph are subject to policy conditions and exclusions.
Water Supply
Because of New Mexico’s arid climate and periodic drought conditions, there is concern in New Mexico about the use of water, including that used for power generation. PNM has secured groundwater rights in connection with the existing plants at Reeves Station, Delta, Afton, Luna, and Lordsburg. Water availability is not an issue for these plants at this time. However, prolonged drought, ESA activities, and a Federal lawsuit by the State of Texas (suing the State of New Mexico over water allocations) could pose a threat of reduced water availability for these plants.
PNM, APS, and BHP have undertaken activities to secure additional water supplies for SJGS, Four Corners, and related mines to accommodate the possibility of inadequate precipitation in coming years. Since 2004, PNM has entered into agreements for voluntary sharing of the impacts of water shortages with tribes and other water users in the San Juan basin. This agreement has been extended through 2016. In addition, in the case of water shortage, PNM, APS, and BHP have reached agreement with the Jicarilla Apache Nation on a long-term supplemental contract relating to water for SJGS and Four Corners that runs through 2016. Although PNM does not believe that its operations will be materially affected by drought conditions at this time, it cannot forecast the weather or its ramifications, or how policy, regulations, and legislation may impact PNM should water shortages occur in the future.
In April 2010, APS signed an agreement on behalf of the PVNGS participants with five cities to provide cooling water essential to power production at PVNGS for forty years.

PVNGS Water Supply Litigation
In 1986, an action commenced regarding the rights of APS and the other PVNGS participants to the use of groundwater and effluent at PVNGS. APS filed claims that dispute the court’s jurisdiction over PVNGS’ groundwater rights and their contractual rights to effluent relating to PVNGS and, alternatively, seek confirmation of those rights. In 1999, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a decision finding that certain groundwater rights may be available to the federal government and Indian tribes. In addition, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a decision in 2000 affirming the lower court’s criteria for resolving groundwater claims. Litigation on these issues has continued in the trial court. No trial dates have been set in these matters. PNM does not expect that this litigation will have a material impact on its results of operation, financial position, or cash flows.
San Juan River Adjudication
In 1975, the State of New Mexico filed an action in New Mexico District Court to adjudicate all water rights in the San Juan River Stream System, including water used at Four Corners and SJGS. PNM was made a defendant in the litigation in 1976. In March 2009, President Obama signed legislation confirming a 2005 settlement with the Navajo Nation. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Navajo Nation’s water rights would be settled and finally determined by entry by the court of two proposed adjudication decrees.  The court issued an order in August 2013 finding that no evidentiary hearing was warranted in the Navajo Nation proceeding, and on November 1, 2013 issued a Partial Final Judgment and Decree of the Water Rights of the Navajo Nation approving the proposed settlement with the Navajo Nation. Several parties filed a joint motion for a new trial, which was denied by the court. A number of parties subsequently appealed to the New Mexico Court of Appeals. PNM is in the process of entering its appearance in the appellate case. No hearing dates or deadlines have been set at this time.
PNM is participating in this proceeding since PNM’s water rights in the San Juan Basin may be affected by the rights recognized in the settlement agreement as being owned by the Navajo Nation, which comprise a significant portion of water available from sources on the San Juan River and in the San Juan Basin. PNM is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or estimate the amount or range of potential loss and cannot determine the effect, if any, of any water rights adjudication on the present arrangements for water at SJGS and Four Corners. Final resolution of the case cannot be expected for several years. An agreement reached with the Navajo Nation in 1985, however, provides that if Four Corners loses a portion of its rights in the adjudication, the Navajo Nation will provide, for an agreed upon cost, sufficient water from its allocation to offset the loss.
Rights-of-Way Matter

On January 28, 2014, the County Commission of Bernalillo County, New Mexico passed an ordinance requiring utilities to enter into a use agreement and pay a yet to be determined fee as a condition to installing, maintaining, and operating facilities on county rights-of-way. The fee is purported to compensate the county for costs of administering, maintaining, and capital improvements to the rights-of-way. On February 27, 2014, PNM and other utilities filed a Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico challenging the validity of the ordinance. If the challenge to the ordinance is unsuccessful, PNM believes any fees paid pursuant to the ordinance would be considered franchise fees and would be recoverable from customers. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or its impact on PNM’s operations.
Complaint Against Southwestern Public Service Company
In September 2005, PNM filed a complaint under the Federal Power Act against SPS alleging SPS overcharged PNM for deliveries of energy through its fuel cost adjustment clause practices and that rates for sales to PNM were excessive. PNM also intervened in a proceeding brought by other customers raising similar arguments relating to SPS’ fuel cost adjustment clause practices and issues relating to demand cost allocation (the “Golden Spread Proceeding”). In addition, PNM intervened in a proceeding filed by SPS to revise its rates for sales to PNM (“SPS 2006 Rate Proceeding”). In 2008, FERC issued its order in the Golden Spread Proceeding affirming an ALJ decision that SPS violated its fuel cost adjustment clause tariffs, but shortening the refund period applicable to the violation of the fuel cost adjustment clause issues that had been ordered by the ALJ.  FERC also reversed the decision of the ALJ, which had been favorable to PNM, on the demand cost allocation issues. PNM and SPS filed petitions for rehearing and clarification of the scope of the remedies that were ordered and seeking reversal of various rulings in the order. On August 15, 2013, FERC issued separate orders in the Golden Spread Proceeding and in the SPS 2006 Rate Proceeding. The order in the Golden Spread Proceeding determined that PNM was not entitled to refunds for SPS’ fuel cost adjustment clause practices. That order and the order in the SPS 2006 Rate Proceeding decided the demand cost allocation issues using the method

that PNM had advocated.  PNM, SPS, and other customers of SPS have filed requests for rehearing of these orders and they are pending further action by FERC. PNM cannot predict the final outcome of the case at FERC or the range of possible outcomes.
Navajo Nation Allottee Matters
A putative class action was filed against PNM and other utilities in February 2009 in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico. Plaintiffs claim to be allottees, members of the Navajo Nation, who pursuant to the Dawes Act of 1887, were allotted ownership in land carved out of the Navajo Nation and allege that defendants, including PNM, are rights-of-way grantees with rights-of-way across the allotted lands and are either in trespass or have paid insufficient fees for the grant of rights-of-way or both.  In March 2010, the court ordered that the entirety of the plaintiffs’ case be dismissed. The court did not grant plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, finding that they instead must pursue and exhaust their administrative remedies before seeking redress in federal court.  In May 2010, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”), which was denied by the BIA Regional Director. In May 2011, plaintiffs appealed the Regional Director’s decision to the DOI, Office of Hearings and Appeals, Interior Board of Indian Appeals. Following briefing on the merits, on August 20, 2013, that board issued a decision upholding the Regional Director’s decision that the allottees had failed to perfect their appeals, and dismissed the allottees’ appeals, without prejudice.  The allottees have not refiled their appeals. Although this matter was dismissed without prejudice, PNM considers the matter concluded. However, PNM continues to monitor this matter in order to preserve its interests regarding any PNM-acquired rights-of-way.
In a separate matter, in September 2012, forty-three landowners claiming to be Navajo allottees filed a notice of appeal with the BIA appealing a March 2011 decision of the BIA Regional Director regarding renewal of a right-of-way for a PNM transmission line. The allottees, many of whom are also allottees in the above matter, generally allege that they were not paid fair market value for the right-of-way, that they were denied the opportunity to make a showing as to their view of fair market value, and thus denied due process. On January 6, 2014, PNM received notice that the BIA, Navajo Region, requested a review of an appraisal report on 58 allotment parcels. After review, the BIA concluded it would continue to rely on the values of the original appraisal. On March 27, 2014, while this matter was stayed, the allottees filed a motion to dismiss their appeal with prejudice.  On April 2, 2014, the allotees’ appeal was dismissed with prejudice concluding this matter.

Regulatory and Rate Matters

The Company is involved in various regulatory matters, some of which contain contingencies that are subject to the same uncertainties as those described in Note 11. Additional information concerning regulatory and rate matters is contained in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
PNM

Renewable Portfolio Standard
The REA establishes a mandatory RPS requiring a utility to acquire a renewable energy portfolio equal to 10% of retail electric sales by 2011, 15% by 2015, and 20% by 2020. The NMPRC requires renewable energy portfolios to be “fully diversified.” The current diversity requirements are 30% wind, 20% solar, 5% other, and 1.5% distributed generation, increasing to 3% in 2015, subject to the limitation of the RCT. In December 2013, the NMPRC modified the RCT calculation to establish a two to one REC weighting for renewable energy from the non-wind/non-solar category, such as geothermal resources. On motions for rehearing, the NMPRC reversed its weighting decision in April 2014.
The REA provides for streamlined proceedings for approval of utilities’ renewable energy procurement plans, assures utilities that they recover costs incurred consistent with approved procurement plans, and requires the NMPRC to establish a RCT for the procurement of renewable resources to prevent excessive costs being added to rates. The currently NMPRC approved RCT is set at 3% of customers’ annual electric charges.

PNM filed its 2014 renewable energy procurement plan on July 1, 2013. The plan meets RPS and diversity requirements within the RCT in 2014 and 2015. PNM’s procurements include 50,000 MWh of wind generated RECs in 2014, the construction by December 31, 2014 of 23 MW of PNM-owned solar PV facilities at a cost of $46.7 million , a 20 -year PPA for the output of Red Mesa Wind, an existing wind facility having an aggregate capacity of 102 MW, beginning January 1, 2015 at a first year cost

estimated to be $5.8 million , and the purchase of 120,000 MWh of wind RECs in 2015. The NMPRC approved the plan on December 18, 2013.
PNM is recovering certain renewable procurement costs from customers through a rate rider. See Renewable Energy Rider below.
Renewable Energy Rider
The NMPRC has authorized PNM to recover certain renewable procurement costs through a rate rider billed on a per KWh basis. The rider will terminate upon a final order in PNM’s next general rate case unless the NMPRC authorizes PNM to continue it. As a separate component of the rider, if PNM’s earned return on jurisdictional equity in a calendar year, adjusted for weather and other items not representative of normal operations, exceeds 10.5% , PNM would be required to refund the amount over 10.5% to customers during May through December of the following year. On April 1, 2014, PNM made a filing with the NMPRC demonstrating that it had not exceeded the 10.5% return for 2013. The 2013 approved rider rate was $0.0028371 per KWh through May 28, 2013 when it changed to $0.0030468 per KWh. The rider rate increased to $0.0044391 effective January 1, 2014 and to $0.0045959 per KWh on April 25, 2014. At the currently approved rider rate, PNM would collect an estimated $34.6 million annually.
Energy Efficiency and Load Management
Program Costs

Public utilities are required by the Efficient Use of Energy Act to achieve specified levels of energy savings and to obtain NMPRC approval to implement energy efficiency and load management programs. Costs to implement approved programs are recovered through a rate rider. In 2013, this act was amended to set an annual program budget equal to 3% of an electric utility’s annual revenue.

In October 2012, PNM filed an energy efficiency program application for programs proposed to be offered beginning in May 2013. The filing included proposed program costs of $22.5 million plus a proposed profit incentive. The NMPRC approved PNM’s program application, including the annual profit incentive discussed below, on November 6, 2013.

Disincentives/Incentives
The Efficient Use of Energy Act requires the NMPRC to remove utility disincentives to implementing energy efficiency and load management programs and to provide incentives for such programs. In 2010, PNM began implementing a NMPRC rule that authorized electric utilities to collect rate adders to remove disincentives and to provide incentives for energy and demand savings related to energy efficiency and demand response programs. In November 2013, the NMPRC issued an order authorizing PNM to recover an incentive equal to 7.6% of annual program costs beginning with program implementation in December 2013. Based on PNM’s currently approved program costs, this equates to an estimated annual incentive of $1.7 million .
Energy Efficiency Rulemaking
On May 17, 2012, the NMPRC issued a NOPR that would have amended the NMPRC’s energy efficiency rule to authorize use of a decoupling mechanism to recover certain fixed costs of providing retail electric service as the mechanism for removal of disincentives associated with the implementation of energy efficiency programs. The proposed rule also addressed incentives associated with energy efficiency. On July 26, 2012, the NMPRC closed the proposed rulemaking and opened a new energy efficiency rulemaking docket that may address decoupling and incentives. Workshops to develop a proposed rule have been held, but no order proposing a rule has been issued. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
On October 2, 2013, the NMPRC issued a NOPR and a proposed rule to implement amendments to the New Mexico Efficient Use of Energy Act. Included in the proposed rule is a provision that would limit incentive awards to an amount equal to the product (expressed in dollars) of the utility’s WACC (expressed as a percent) and its approved annual program costs. The NMPRC received comments and a public hearing was held on November 20, 2013.

FPPAC Continuation Application

Pursuant to the rules of the NMPRC, public utilities are required to file an application to continue using their FPPAC every four years. On May 28, 2013, PNM filed the required continuation application and requested that its current FPPAC be modified to increase the reset frequency of the fuel factor from annually to quarterly, to allow PNM to retain 10% of its off-system sales margin, and to apply the same carrying charge rate to both over and under collections in the balancing account. On December 20, 2013, a stipulated agreement was filed to resolve this case. A public hearing on the stipulation was held on February 25, 2014. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval of the settlement in its entirety to the NMPRC. On April 23, 2014, the NMPRC approved the stipulation. The settlement allows PNM to retain 10% of off-system sales margin from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016, resolves all costs related to the San Juan Coal mine fire discussed in Note 11, resolves the ratemaking treatment for coal pre-treatment at SJGS until the next rate case, requires PNM to write-off $10.5 million of the under-collected balance in its FPPAC balancing account, and requires PNM to extend the recovery of the remaining under-collected balance over 18 months beginning July 1, 2014. PNM recorded the $10.5 million write-off as a regulatory disallowance in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Integrated Resource Plan
NMPRC rules require that investor owned utilities file an IRP every three years. The IRP is required to cover a 20 -year planning period and contain an action plan covering the first four years of that period. In its most recent IRP, which was filed in July 2011, PNM indicated that it planned to meet its anticipated load growth through a combination of new natural gas-fired generating plants, renewable energy resources, load management, and energy efficiency programs. PNM has initiated the process to prepare its 2014 IRP. Public participation meetings have been held. The 2014 IRP is scheduled to be filed at the NMPRC by June 30, 2014.
Applications for Approvals to Purchase Delta
As discussed in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, PNM has entered in to an agreement to purchase Delta, a 132 MW natural gas peaking unit from which PNM currently acquires energy and capacity under a PPA. The agreement to purchase Delta required approvals by the NMPRC and FERC. On June 26, 2013, the NMPRC granted PNM’s CCN application and approved PNM’s proposed ratemaking treatment. FERC approved the purchase on February 26, 2013. PNM anticipates closing on the purchase in the second quarter of 2014.
Application for Approval of La Luz Generating Station
On May 17, 2013, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for a CCN to construct, own, and operate a 40 MW gas-fired generating facility near Belen, New Mexico. The application also requested a determination of related ratemaking principles and treatment. The facility was initially expected to cost approximately $63.2 million and go into service in the first quarter of 2016. PNM has entered into a contract for purchase of the turbine to be used for this project and a separate contract for the construction of the facility on a turn-key basis. Both contracts allow PNM to cancel if NMPRC approval is not obtained. On February 20, 2014, a stipulated agreement was filed that would resolve the case. The parties to the stipulation are PNM, the NMPRC staff, and another intervenor. The parties to the stipulation agree that a CCN should be granted and establishes a value of up to $56 million to be included in rate base for the facility. A public hearing was held on April 29, 2014. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Hearing Examiner requested that the parties to the stipulation draft a recommended decision approving the stipulation. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
San Juan Generating Station Units 2 and 3 Retirement

As discussed in Note 11, on December 20, 2013, PNM filed an application at the NMPRC to retire SJGS Units 2 and 3 on December 31, 2017. In that application, PNM also seeks approval to recover the net book value of SJGS Units 2 and 3 at the date of retirement, for a CCN to include PNM’s share of PVNGS Unit 3 as a resource to serve New Mexico consumers, authority to install SNCRs on SJGS Units 1 and 4, and a CCN to exchange 78 MW in SJGS Unit 3 for the same amount of capacity in SJGS Unit 4. PNM requested the NMPRC issue its final ruling on the application no later than December 2014. A public hearing on the application has been scheduled to commence on August 19, 2014. Depending upon the terms and conditions agreed to as a result of the negotiations, including PNM’s share of the capacity of SJGS Unit 4, PNM may amend its December 20, 2013 filing with the NMPRC. PNM will also make an application at FERC to seek approval of the restructured SJGS participation agreements. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Formula Transmission Rate Case
On December 31, 2012, PNM filed an application with FERC for authorization to move from charging stated rates for wholesale electric transmission service to a formula rate mechanism pursuant to which rates for wholesale transmission service are calculated annually in accordance with an approved formula. In a settlement of a prior transmission rate case, the parties agreed that no party would oppose the general principle of a formula rate, although the parties may still object to particular aspects of the formula. PNM’s proposed formula includes updating cost of service components, including investment in plant and operating expenses, based on information contained in PNM’s annual financial report filed with FERC, as well as including projected large transmission capital projects to be placed into service in the following year. The projections included are subject to true-up in the following year formula rate. Certain items, including changes to return on equity and depreciation rates, require a separate filing to be made with FERC before being included in the formula rate. As filed, PNM’s request would result in a $3.2 million wholesale electric transmission rate increase, based on PNM’s 2011 data and a 10.81% return on equity (“ROE”), and authority to adjust transmission rates annually based on an approved formula.
On March 1, 2013, FERC issued an order (1) accepting PNM’s revisions to its rates for filing and suspending the proposed revisions to become effective August 2, 2013, subject to refund; (2) directing PNM to submit a compliance filing to establish its ROE using the median, rather than the mid-point, of the ROEs from a proxy group of companies; (3) directing PNM to submit a compliance filing to remove from its rate proposal the acquisition adjustment related to PNM’s 60% ownership of the EIP transmission line, which was acquired in 2003 ; and (4) setting the proceeding for hearing and settlement judge procedures. PNM would be allowed to make a separate filing related to recovery of the EIP acquisition adjustment. On April 1, 2013, PNM made the required compliance filing. In addition, PNM filed for rehearing of FERC’s order regarding the ROE. On June 3, 2013, PNM made additional filings incorporating final 2012 data into the formula rate request. The updated formula rate would result in a $1.3 million rate increase over the rates approved by FERC on January 2, 2013. The new rates will apply to all of PNM’s wholesale electric transmission service customers. The new rates will not apply to PNM’s retail customers. On June 10, 2013, FERC denied PNM’s motion for rehearing regarding FERC’s order requiring PNM to use the median, instead of the midpoint, to calculate its ROE for the formula rate case. On August 2, 2013, the new rates went into effect, subject to refund. On May 1, 2014, PNM updated its formula rate incorporating 2013 data resulting in a  $0.5 million  rate increase over the current rates. PNM anticipates filing the updated rate request with FERC on June 1, 2014, at which time the new rates will be effective, subject to refund. Settlement negotiations are ongoing concerning issues in this proceeding. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.
City of Gallup, New Mexico Contract
PNM provides both energy and power services to Gallup, PNM’s second largest firm-requirements wholesale customer, under an electric service agreement that was to expire on June 30, 2013. On May 1, 2013, PNM and Gallup agreed to extend the term of the agreement to June 30, 2014 and to increase the demand and energy rates under the agreement. On May 1, 2013, PNM requested FERC approval of the amended agreement to be effective July 1, 2013. On June 21, 2013, FERC approved the amended agreement. Revenue from Gallup will have increased by $3.1 million during the term of the amended agreement.
On September 26, 2013, Gallup issued a request for proposals for long-term power supply. PNM submitted a proposal in November 2013. On March 26, 2014, Gallup notified PNM that the contract for long-term power supply had been awarded to another utility.  PNM’s contract with Gallup will expire on June 29, 2014.  PNM’s 2013 revenues for power sold under the Gallup contract were $11.7 million
TNMP
Advanced Meter System Deployment
In July 2011, the PUCT approved a settlement and authorized an AMS deployment plan that permits TNMP to collect $113.3 million in deployment costs through a surcharge over a 12 -year period. TNMP began collecting the surcharge on August 11, 2011. Deployment of advanced meters began in September 2011 and is scheduled to be completed over a 5 -year period.
In February 2012, the PUCT opened a proceeding to consider the feasibility of an “opt-out” program for retail consumers that wish to decline receipt of an advanced meter. The PUCT has requested comments and convened a public meeting to hear various issues. However, various individuals filed a petition with the PUCT seeking a moratorium on any advanced meter deployment. The PUCT denied the petition and an appeal was filed with the Texas District Court on September 28, 2012.

(Unaudited)


On February 21, 2013, the PUCT filed a proposed rule to permit customers to opt-out of the AMS deployment. The PUCT adopted a rule on August 15, 2013 creating a non-standard metering service for retail customers choosing to decline standard metering service via an advanced meter. The cost of providing non-standard metering service will be borne by opt-out customers through an initial fee and ongoing monthly charge. All transmission and distribution utilities in ERCOT are required to initiate proceedings to establish these charges.
On September 30, 2013, TNMP filed an application to set the initial fee and monthly charges to be assessed for non-standard metering service provided to those retail customers who choose to decline the advanced meter necessary for standard metering service. TNMP’s filing seeks recovery of $0.2 million through proposed initial fees ranging from $142.84 to $247.48 . An additional $0.5 million in ongoing expenses would be recovered via a proposed monthly charge of $38.99 . The April 8, 2014 hearing on this matter has been suspended as the parties attempt to reach a settlement. TNMP cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding although TNMP does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Energy Efficiency
TNMP recovers the costs of its energy efficiency programs through an energy efficiency cost recovery factor that includes projected program costs, under or over collected costs from prior years, case expenses, and performance bonuses (if the programs exceed expectations). On August 28, 2012, the PUCT approved a settlement that permitted TNMP to collect an aggregate of $5.2 million effective January 1, 2013. On October 25, 2013, the PUCT approved a settlement that permits TNMP to collect an aggregate of $5.6 million beginning March 1, 2014. By June 1, 2014, TNMP will file its 2015 energy efficiency cost recovery factor application with the PUCT.

Transmission Cost of Service Rates
TNMP can update its transmission rates twice per year to reflect changes in its invested capital. Updated rates reflect the addition and retirement of transmission facilities, including appropriate depreciation, federal income tax and other associated taxes, and the approved rate of return on such facilities.
On January 31, 2013, TNMP filed an application to update its transmission rates to reflect changes in its invested capital. The requested increase in total rate base is $21.9 million , which will increase revenues $2.9 million annually. The PUCT ALJ approved TNMP’s interim transmission cost of service filing and rates went into effect with bills rendered on March 20, 2013.
On August 1, 2013, TNMP filed an application to further update its transmission rates to reflect changes in its invested capital. The requested increase in total rate base is $18.1 million , which would increase revenues by $2.8 million annually. The PUCT ALJ approved TNMP’s interim transmission cost of service filing and rates went into effect with bills rendered on September 17, 2013.
On January 21, 2014, TNMP filed an application to further update its transmission rates resulting from changes in its invested capital. The requested increase in total rate base is $18.2 million , which would increase revenues by $2.9 million annually. The PUCT ALJ approved TNMP’s interim transmission cost of service filing and rates went into effect with bills rendered on March 13, 2014.

Income Taxes

On January 3, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which extended fifty percent bonus depreciation, was signed into law.  Due to provisions in the act, taxes payable to the State of New Mexico for 2013 were reduced, which resulted in an impairment of New Mexico wind energy production tax credits. In accordance with GAAP, PNMR was required to record this impairment, which after federal income tax benefit, amounted to $1.5 million as additional income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This impairment is reflected in PNMR’s Corporate and Other segment.

On April 4, 2013, New Mexico House Bill 641 was signed into law. One of the provisions of the bill was to reduce the New Mexico corporate income tax rate from 7.6% to 5.9% . The rate reduction will be phased in from 2014 to 2018. In accordance with GAAP, PNMR and PNM adjusted accumulated deferred income taxes to reflect the tax rate at which the balances are expected to reverse during the period that includes the date of enactment, which was in three months ended June 30, 2013. At that time,

the portion of the adjustment related to PNM’s regulated activities was recorded as a reduction in deferred tax liabilities, which was offset by an increase in a regulatory liability, on the assumption that PNM will be required to return the benefit to customers over time. The increase in the regulatory liability was $23.9 million . In addition, the portion of the adjustment that is not related to PNM’s regulated activities was recorded as a reduction in deferred tax assets and an increase in income tax expense of $1.2 million . Changes in the estimated timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities will result in refinements of the impacts of this change in tax rates being recorded periodically until 2018, when the rate reduction is fully phased in. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, PNM’s regulatory liability was reduced by $4.6 million , which increased deferred tax liabilities. Additionally, deferred tax assets not related to PNM’s regulatory activities were reduced by $0.2 million , which increased income tax expense.

In 2013, the future reduction in taxes payable to the State of New Mexico resulting from the rate reduction in House Bill 641 and revisions in estimates of future taxable income resulted in a further impairment of New Mexico wind energy production tax credits. In accordance with GAAP, PNMR was required to record this impairment, which after federal income tax benefit, amounted to $2.4 million as additional income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013.


In 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, which requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such carryforward could be used to offset the unrecognized tax benefit upon settlement.  The update is required to be applied prospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption was permitted.  The Company elected not to adopt the change for 2013, but did adopt it for 2014 as required by the update.  Had the Company applied the update at December 31, 2013, the effect would have been decreases in net operating deferred tax assets of $19.9 million for PNMR, $11.2 million for PNM, and $6.8 million for TNMP, along with the elimination of the corresponding assets and liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits. There was no impact to earning from adopting the update.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for PNMR is presented on a combined basis, including certain information applicable to PNM and TNMP. The MD&A for PNM and TNMP is presented as permitted by Form 10-Q General Instruction H(2). This report uses the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. A reference to a “Note” in this Item 2 refers to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Item 1, unless otherwise specified. Certain of the tables below may not appear visually accurate due to rounding.

MD&A FOR PNMR

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview and Strategy     

PNMR is a holding company with two regulated utilities serving approximately 748,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers and end-users of electricity in New Mexico and Texas. PNMR’s electric utilities are PNM and TNMP.
Strategic Goals
PNMR is focused on achieving the following strategic goals:

Earning authorized returns on its regulated businesses
Maintaining investment grade credit ratings
Providing a top-quartile total return to investors

In conjunction with these goals, PNM and TNMP are dedicated to:

Achieving industry-leading safety performance
Maintaining strong plant performance and system reliability
Delivering a superior customer experience
Demonstrating environmental leadership in its business operations

Earning Authorized Returns on Regulated Businesses

PNMR’s success in accomplishing its strategic goals is highly dependent on continued favorable regulatory treatment for its utilities and their strong operating performance. The Company has multiple strategies to achieve favorable regulatory treatment, all of which have as their foundation a focus on the basics: safety, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction, while engaging stakeholders to build productive relationships.

Both PNM and TNMP seek cost recovery for their investments through general rate cases and various rate riders. The PUCT has approved mechanisms that allow TNMP to recover capital invested in transmission and distribution projects without having to file a general rate case, which allows for more timely recovery. The PUCT approved TNMP’s most recent request for additional investments in transmission assets on March 13, 2014. The NMPRC has approved rate riders for renewable energy and energy efficiency that also allow for more timely recovery of investments and improve the ability to earn authorized returns from PNM’s retail customers. Recently, PNM completed rate proceedings for all of its FERC regulated transmission customers and for NEC, its largest wholesale generation services customer, which improved PNM’s returns for providing those services. In addition, PNM currently has a pending case before FERC in which it is requesting an increase in rates charged to transmission customers based on a formula rate mechanism. However, Gallup, PNM’s second largest customer for wholesale generation services, has informed PNM that it will obtain power from another utility at the end of the current contract on June 29, 2014. Additional information about rate filings is provided in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K and in Note 12.
Fair and timely rate treatment from regulators is crucial to PNM and TNMP earning their allowed returns, which is critical for PNMR’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. PNMR believes that if the utilities earn their allowed returns, it would be viewed positively by credit rating agencies and would further improve the Company’s ratings, which could lower costs to utility customers.

Also, earning allowed returns should result in increased earnings for PNMR, which would lead to increased total returns to investors.

PNM’s interest in PVNGS Unit 3 is currently excluded from NMPRC jurisdictional rates. While PVNGS Unit 3’s financial results are not included in the authorized returns on its regulated business, it impacts PNM’s earnings and has been demonstrated to be a valuable asset. Power generated from PNM’s 134 MW interest in PVNGS Unit 3 is currently sold into the wholesale market and any earnings or losses are attributable to shareholders. As part of compliance with the requirements for BART at SJGS discussed below, PNM has requested NMPRC approval to include PVNGS Unit 3 as a jurisdictional resource in the determination of rates charged to customers in New Mexico beginning in 2018.
Maintaining Investment Grade Credit Ratings
PNM is committed to maintaining investment grade credit ratings. The credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP were set forth under the heading Liquidity in the MD&A contained in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. As discussed under the subheading Liquidity in MD&A - Liquidity and Capital Resources below, S&P raised the corporate credit ratings and senior debt ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP, as well as the preferred stock rating for PNM, on April 5, 2013. S&P retained the outlook as stable for all entities. On June 21, 2013, Moody’s changed the ratings outlook for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP to positive from stable. On January 30, 2014, Moody’s raised the credit ratings for PNMR, PNM and TNMP by one notch, while maintaining the positive outlook. All of the Company’s credit ratings issued by both Moody’s and S&P are now investment grade. On April 30, 2014, S&P changed the outlook for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP to positive from stable.
Providing Top-Quartile Total Returns to Investors
PNMR’s strategic goal to provide top quartile total return to investors over the 2012 to 2016 period is based on five-year ongoing earnings per share growth plus five-year average dividend yield from a group of regulated electric utility companies with similar market capitalization. Top quartile total return currently is equal to an average annual rate of 10 percent to 13 percent.
PNMR’s long-term target is a dividend payout ratio of 50 percent to 60 percent of its ongoing earnings. Ongoing earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items from earnings determined in accordance with GAAP. The annual common stock dividend was raised by 16 percent in February 2012, 14 percent in February 2013, and 12 percent in December 2013. PNMR expects to provide above-average dividend growth in the near-term and to manage the payout ratio to meet its long-term target. The Board will continue to evaluate the dividend on an annual basis, considering sustainability and growth, capital planning, and industry standards.

Business Focus

In addition to its strategic goals, PNMR’s strategy and decision-making are focused on safely providing reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible power to create enduring value for customers and communities. To accomplish this, PNMR works closely with customers, stakeholders, legislators, and regulators to ensure that resource plans and infrastructure investments benefit from robust public dialogue and balance the diverse needs of our communities.

Reliable and Affordable Power
PNMR and its utilities are keenly aware of the roles they play in enhancing economic vitality in their New Mexico and Texas service territories. Management believes that maintaining strong and modern electric infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and economic growth. When considering expanding or relocating to other communities, businesses consider energy affordability and reliability to be important factors. PNM and TNMP strive to balance service affordability with infrastructure investment to maintain a high level of electric reliability and to deliver a superior customer experience. The utilities also work to ensure that rates reflect actual costs of providing service.
Investing in PNM’s and TNMP’s infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and meeting future energy needs. Both utilities have long-established records of providing customers with top-tier electric reliability.
In September 2011, TNMP began its deployment of smart meters in homes and businesses across its Texas service area. Through March 31, 2014 , TNMP had completed installation of more than 142,000 smart meters, which is approximately 62% of the anticipated total. TNMP’s deployment is expected to be completed in 2016.
As part of the State of Texas’ long-term initiative to create a smart electric grid, installation of smart meters will ultimately give consumers more data about their energy consumption and help them make more informed decisions. In 2014, TNMP will install a new outage management system that will leverage capabilities of the smart meters to enhance TNMP’s responsiveness

to outages.

During the 2011 to 2013 period, PNM and TNMP together invested $937.5 million in utility plant, including substations, power plants, nuclear fuel, and transmission and distribution systems. In 2012, PNM announced plans for the 40 MW natural gas-fired La Luz peaking generating station to be located near Belen, New Mexico. PNM filed a request in May 2013 with the NMPRC for approval to construct the La Luz plant, which is expected to begin in 2014, with the facility going into service in 2016. PNM also announced an agreement to purchase Delta, a 132 MW gas-fired peaking facility, which has served PNM jurisdictional needs under a 20-year PPA since 2000. The purchase has been approved by the NMPRC and FERC. PNM anticipates closing on the Delta purchase in the second quarter of 2014.
Environmentally Responsible Power
PNMR has a long-standing record of environmental stewardship. PNMR’s environmental focus has been in three key areas:

Developing strategies to meet regional haze rules at the coal-fired SJGS as cost-effectively as possible while providing broad environmental benefits
Preparing to meet New Mexico’s increasing renewable energy requirements as cost-effectively as possible
Increasing energy efficiency participation

Another area of emphasis is the reduction of the amount of fresh water used during electricity generation at PNM’s power plants. The fresh water used per MWh generated has dropped by 21.0% since 2002, primarily due to the growth of renewable energy sources, the expansion of Afton to a combined-cycle plant that has both air and water cooling systems, and the use of gray water for cooling at Luna. In addition to the above areas of focus, the Company is also working to reduce the amount of solid waste going to landfills through increased recycling and reduction of waste. The Company has performed well in this area in the past and has set goals for even further reductions.
Renewable Energy
PNM’s 2013 renewable procurement strategy almost doubled PNM’s existing solar capacity with the addition of 21.5 MW of utility-owned solar capacity. In addition to the solar expansion, the 2013 plan included a 20-year agreement to purchase energy from a geothermal facility built near Lordsburg, New Mexico. The facility began providing power to PNM in January 2014. The current output of the facility is 4 MW and future expansion may result in up to 10 MW of generation capacity. PNM’s 2014 renewable procurement strategy calls for the construction of an additional 23 MW of utility-owned solar capacity, a 20-year PPA for the output of an existing 102 MW wind energy center beginning in 2015, and the purchase of RECs in 2014 and 2015 to meet the RPS.
In addition to PNM’s utility-owned PV solar facilities, PNM also owns the 500 KW PNM Prosperity Energy Storage Project, which uses advanced batteries to store solar power and dispatch the energy either during high-use periods or when solar production is limited. The project features one of the largest combinations of battery storage and PV energy in the nation and involves extensive research and development of smart grid concepts. The facility was the nation’s first solar storage facility fully integrated into a utility’s power grid.
PNM also purchases 204 MW of wind power and power from a customer-owned distributed solar generation program having an installed capacity of 30.5 MW at the end of 2013. These renewable resources are key means for PNM to meet the RPS and related regulations, which require PNM to achieve prescribed levels of energy sales from renewable sources, if that can be accomplished without exceeding the RCT cost limit set by the NMPRC.
PNM makes renewable procurements consistent with the plans approved by the NMPRC. PNM believes its currently planned resources will enable it to comply with the NMPRC’s diversity requirements, as amended in December 2012. PNM will continue to procure renewable resources while balancing the bill impact to customers in order to meet New Mexico’s escalating RPS requirements.

SJGS
PNM continues its efforts to comply with the EPA regional haze rule in a manner that minimizes the cost impact to customers while still achieving broad environmental benefits. Additional information about BART at SJGS is contained in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K and in Note 11.
In August 2011, EPA issued a FIP for regional haze that would require the installation of SCRs on all four units at SJGS by September 2016. Following approval by the majority of the other SJGS owners, PNM, NMED, and EPA agreed, on February 15, 2013, to pursue a revised plan that could provide a new BART path to comply with federal visibility rules at SJGS. The terms of the non-binding agreement would result in the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 by the end of 2017 and the installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4 by the later of January 31, 2016 or 15 months after EPA approval of a revised SIP from the State of New Mexico. The revised SIP has been approved by the EIB and submitted to EPA for its approval. On April 30, 2014, EPA issued an advance copy of the proposed approval of the revised SIP. The 30-day public comment period will begin upon publication in the Federal Register. Final EPA action is expected by about the end of September 2014.
Contemporaneously with the signing of the non-binding agreement, EPA indicated in writing that if the above plan does not move forward due to circumstances outside of the control of PNM and NMED, EPA will work with the State of New Mexico and PNM to create a reasonable FIP compliance schedule to reflect the time used to develop the new state plan.

On December 20, 2013, PNM made a filing with the NMPRC requesting certain approvals necessary to effectuate the revised SIP. In this filing, PNM requests authorization to:

Retire SJGS Units 2 and 3 at December 31, 2017 and to recover over 20 years their net book value at that date along with a regulated return on those costs
Include PNM’s ownership of PVNGS Unit 3 as a resource to serve New Mexico retail customers effective January 1, 2018
Allow cost recovery for the installation of SNCR equipment and the additional equipment to comply with NAAQS requirements on SJGS Units 1 and 4
Exchange ownership of 78 MW of PNM’s capacity in SJGS Unit 3 for 78 MW in SJGS Unit 4

PNM requested the NMPRC issue its final ruling on the application no later than December 2014. On February 11, 2014, PNM’s application was determined to be complete. The Hearing Examiner indicated the NMPRC should proceed with the review of PNM’s application and establish a schedule that would allow NMPRC action on the application by the end of 2014. A public hearing on the application is scheduled to begin on August 19, 2014.

The December 20, 2013 filing also identifies a new 177 MW natural gas fired generation source and 40 MW of new utility-scale solar generation to replace a portion of PNM’s share of the reduction in generating capacity due to the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3. Specific approvals to acquire these facilities and the treatment of associated costs will be requested in future filings.

In connection with the implementation of the revised plan and the proposed retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3, some of the SJGS participants have expressed a desire to exit their ownership in the plant. As a result, the SJGS participants are attempting to negotiate a restructuring of the ownership in SJGS, as well as addressing the obligations of the exiting participants for plant decommissioning, mine reclamation, environmental matters, and certain ongoing operating costs, among other items. The SJGS participants have engaged a mediator to assist in facilitating resolution of a number of outstanding matters among the owners. Although negotiations are continuing, no agreements have been reached. Owners of the affected units also may seek approvals of their utility commissions or governing boards. The December 20, 2013 NMPRC filing was based on the status of negotiations among the SJGS owners at that time. Depending upon the terms and conditions agreed to as a result of the negotiations, including PNM’s share of the capacity of SJGS Unit 4, PNM may amend its December 20, 2013 filing with the NMPRC. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of the negotiations.

PNM, as the SJGS operating agent, presented the SNCR project to the participants in Unit 1 and Unit 4 for approval in late October 2013. The project was approved for Unit 1, but the Unit 4 project did not obtain the required percentage of votes for approval. Other capital projects related to Unit 4 were also not approved by the participants. The SJPPA provides that PNM is authorized and obligated to take reasonable and prudent actions necessary for the successful and proper operation of SJGS pending resolution by the participants. PNM must evaluate its responsibilities and obligations as operating agent under the SJPPA regarding the SJGS Unit 4 capital projects that were not approved by the participants and take reasonable and prudent actions as it deems necessary. In March 2014, PNM requested that the owners of Unit 4 approve the expenditure of $1.9 million of costs critical to

69

Table of Contents

being able to comply with the time frame in the revised SIP with respect to Unit 4 project. The Unit 4 owners did not approve the expenditures. Thereupon, PNM issued a “Prudent Utility Practice” notice that, under the SJPPA, PNM was restarting certain critical activities to keep the Unit 4 project on schedule. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

This revised BART plan would achieve similar visibility improvements as the installation of SCRs on all four units at SJGS. It has the added advantage of reducing other emissions beyond NOx, including SO 2 , particulate matter, CO 2 , and mercury, as well as reducing water usage. PNM has begun taking steps to prepare for the potential installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4. In May 2013, PNM entered into an SNCR equipment and related services contract with an SNCR technology provider, but has not yet entered into a construction and procurement contract. PNM can provide no assurance that the requirements of this plan will be accomplished at all or within the required timeframes.
In addition to the regional haze rule, SJGS is required to comply with other rules currently being developed or implemented that affect coal-fired generating units. Because of environmental upgrades completed in 2009, SJGS is well positioned to outperform the mercury limit imposed by EPA in the 2011 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The major environmental upgrades on each of the four units at SJGS have significantly reduced emissions of NOx, SO 2 , particulate matter, and mercury. Since 2006, SJGS has reduced NOx emissions by 41 percent, SO 2 by 60 percent, particulate matter by 69 percent, and mercury by 99 percent.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency also plays a significant role in helping to keep customers' electricity costs low while continuing to meet their energy needs. PNM's and TNMP's energy efficiency and load management portfolios continue to achieve robust results. In 2013, annual energy saved as a result of PNM’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs was approximately 75 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 10,200 homes in PNM’s service territory. PNM’s load management and energy efficiency programs also help lower peak demand requirements. TNMP’s energy efficiency programs in 2013 resulted in energy savings totaling an estimated 17.0 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 1,650 homes in TNMP’s service territory.
Creating Value for Customers and Communities

The Company strives to deliver a superior customer experience by understanding the dynamic needs of its customers through ongoing market research, identifying and establishing best-in-class services and programs, and proactively communicating and engaging with customers at a regional and community level. In 2013, PNM refocused its efforts to improve the customer experience through an integrated marketing and communications strategy that encompassed brand repositioning and advertising, customer service improvements, and strategic customer and stakeholder engagement. As part of this effort, in February 2014, PNM launched an updated website that provides an increase in self-service options for customers, as well as a mobile platform.
Integrated communication around known satisfaction drivers, including billing and payment options, bill redesign, energy efficiency, and environmental and community stewardship ensured PNM retained traction from prior efforts, as well as gained new ground in critical areas, notably corporate citizenship perceptions. PNM’s perceived value to customers has also improved.
Recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship to customers and other stakeholders, PNM expanded engagement with environmental stakeholders to promote ongoing dialogue and input. Similarly, PNM also proactively communicated with communities about its efforts and plans related to environmental stewardship. Customers took note of PNM’s efforts in this area. A nationally recognized customer satisfaction benchmark revealed gains in awareness of PNM’s efforts to improve environmental impact, as well as customer perceptions around the commitment to preserving the environment now and for future generations. Benchmark data also demonstrates positive movement in the communication component of the customer experience.
Through outreach, collaboration, and various community-oriented programs, PNMR has a demonstrated commitment to build productive relationships with stakeholders, including customers, regulators, legislators, and intervenors.
Building off work that began in 2008, PNM has continued outreach efforts to connect low-income customers with nonprofit community service providers offering support and help with such needs as utility bills, food, clothing, medical programs, services for seniors, and weatherization. In 2013, PNM hosted 22 community events throughout its service territory to assist low-income customers. Furthermore, the PNM Good Neighbor Fund provided $0.3 million of assistance with utility bills to 3,610 families in 2013. In 2013, PNM committed funding of $0.9 million to the PNM Good Neighbor Fund.

The PNM Resources Foundation helps nonprofits become more energy efficient through Reduce Your Use grants. In 2013, PNMR committed funding of $3.5 million to the PNM Resources Foundation. For 2013, the foundation awarded $0.2 million to support 56 projects in New Mexico to provide shade structure installations, window replacements, and efficient appliance purchases. Since the program’s inception in 2008, Reduce Your Use grants have provided nonprofit agencies in New Mexico with a total of $1.4 million of support. In 2013, in connection with the PNM Resources Foundation’s 30 th anniversary, the foundation awarded thirty $10,000 environmental grants to nonprofit agencies.
PNM continues to expand its environmental stakeholder outreach, piloting small environmental stakeholder dialogue groups on key issues such as renewable energy and energy efficiency planning. PNM also employed proactive stakeholder outreach in two key projects - the development of PNM’s renewable energy procurement plans that involved distributed solar energy developers early in the conversation and the siting of the planned gas-fired peaking generation facility near Belen, New Mexico, which featured in-depth community involvement and education early in the planning stages of the project. In both cases highly favorable outcomes were achieved, and controversial negative media coverage was virtually eliminated.
In Texas, community outreach has focused on supporting employee volunteerism, as well as customer education to address questions about the ongoing smart meter deployment. TNMP also offers energy efficiency programs specific to government buildings and schools and has successfully used the programs to improve customer relationships.
Economic Factors
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 , PNM experienced a decrease in weather normalized retail load of 2.9% compared to the same period in 2013.  New Mexico’s economy still lags the nation in post-recession recovery. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 , TNMP’s weather normalized retail load increased 8.1% compared to the same period in 2013. In recent years, New Mexico and Texas have fared better than the national average in unemployment although the unemployment rate in New Mexico exceeded the national average in March 2013. However, employment growth is a stronger predictor of load. Texas’ employment growth rates are well above the national rate, while New Mexico’s employment remains relatively flat.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has revolving credit facilities that provide capacities for short-term borrowing and letters of credit of $300.0 million for PNMR and $400.0 million for PNM, both of which expire in October 2018. In addition, PNM has a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2018, with banks having a significant presence in New Mexico and TNMP has a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2018. Total availability for PNMR on a consolidated basis was $806.9 million at April 25, 2014 . The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. PNMR also has intercompany loan agreements with each of its subsidiaries.
The Company projects that its total capital requirements, consisting of construction expenditures and dividends, will total $2,564.5 million for 2014-2018, including amounts expended through March 31, 2014 . The construction expenditures include estimated amounts related to environmental upgrades at SJGS to address regional haze and the identified sources of replacement capacity under the revised plan for compliance described in Note 11. The construction expenditures also include additional renewable resources anticipated to be required to meet the RPS, additional peaking resources needed to meet needs outlined in PNM’s current IRP, and environmental upgrades at Four Corners. In addition to internal cash generation, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing in the form of debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity in order to fund its capital requirements during the 2014-2018 period. The Company currently believes that its internal cash generation, existing credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s capital requirements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, retail sales were lower compared to 2013 reflecting a continued sluggish economy in New Mexico. In particular, the Albuquerque metropolitan area continues to lag the nation in economic recovery. In spite of the economic pressures, PNM experienced year to date average retail customer growth of 0.6%. Weather negatively impacted revenues and margin $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as heating degree days were 13.8% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. PNM’s weather normalized retail KWh sales were 2.9% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, which decreased revenues and margin $4.2 million. There is no clear indication regarding the future of New Mexico’s economy, as it still lags the nation in post-recession recovery. Encouraging signs such as increased economic development activity and improved tax environment are contrasted by negative indicators such as a slip in employment growth and an increase in the unemployment rate in the first quarter of 2014. PNM continues to see some customer growth, as well as increasing peak demand levels, while at the same time, usage per customer has decreased. The growth is not yet strong enough to offset the decreased usage, which appears to be the result of economic concerns, as well as energy efficiency measures.

PNM implemented new rates for Gallup, its second largest wholesale customer, in July 2013 under a one-year agreement, which improved revenues and margins $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. PNM responded to Gallup’s request for proposals for long-term power supply.  On March 26, 2014, Gallup notified PNM that the contract for long-term power supply had been awarded to another utility.  PNM’s contract with Gallup will expire on June 29, 2014.  PNM’s 2013 revenues for power sold under the Gallup contract were $11.7 million. See Note 12. 

In August 2012, PNM implemented its renewable energy rider, which recovers renewable energy procurement costs to meet the RPS, including the 22 MW of PNM-owned solar PV facilities completed in 2011. In January 2014, PNM increased the rate charged under the rider to include the 21.5 MW of PNM-owned solar PV facilities completed in 2013. See Note 12. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, this rider increased revenues by $4.5 million and cost of energy, reflecting the purchase of RECs, by $2.2 million. These revenues include a return on investment of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The remaining revenues from this rider recover renewable energy operating, depreciation, and interest expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, unregulated revenue increased $1.5 million and margin increased $3.6 million. Higher market power prices for PNM’s share of PVNGS Unit 3, increased revenues and margins by $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. In addition, gas imbalance settlements lowered cost of energy $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

Changes in unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses result from economic hedges for sales and fuel costs not covered under the FPPAC, primarily associated with PVNGS Unit 3. Unrealized losses of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to unrealized losses of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, increased margin by $2.1 million.

PNM provides economy energy services to a major customer. In spite of the increase in KWh sales to this customer for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, there is only a minor impact in margin resulting from providing ancillary services. Other changes in revenues and cost of energy for this customer are a pass through with no impact to margin. Other drivers of changes in revenue, cost of energy, and margin include lower consumption by firm-requirements wholesale customers and off-system sales and purchases not included in PNM’s FPPAC.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses increased $4.5 million compared to 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, higher maintenance expenses for outages at San Juan, Four Corners, and PNM’s natural gas-fired plants of $1.0 million, $0.7 million, and $1.0 million were partially offset by lower maintenance expenses of $0.5 million at PVNGS. Higher Arizona property taxes increased operating expenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Bad debt expense increased $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Higher renewable rider expenses of $0.4 million, which is offset in revenue, increased operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. In addition, higher pension and retiree medical expense of $0.2 million increased operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013 due to additions to utility plant in service, including 21.5 MW of PNM-owned solar PV facilities. Depreciation on the PNM-owned solar PV facilities is recovered through the renewable energy rider discussed above.

Other income (deductions) decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Higher income from investments held by the NDT of $0.8 million were offset by retirements of PVNGS Unit 3 plant in service of $0.7 million and lower interest income on PVNGS lessor notes of $0.5 million due to lower outstanding balances.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense decreased $0.2 million compared to 2013, primarily due to lower short-term borrowings expense partially offset by interest expense on new long-term borrowings under the $175.0 million PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement. See Note 9.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, revenues and margin increased by $1.5 million compared to 2013 due to transmission rate increases in March 2013, September 2013, and March 2014. See Note 12. TNMP experienced customer growth of 1.1%, increasing revenues and margin by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Higher weather normalized usage per customer increased revenues and margin by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. TNMP’s weather normalized retail KWh sales increased 8.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Colder temperatures in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, resulted in increased revenues and margin of $0.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, heating degree days were 30.1% higher, which was partially offset by cooling degree days being 36.8% lower.

Demand based revenues and margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $0.7 million compared to 2013. This primarily results from TNMP, under a PUCT approved tariff, lowering the power factor billing threshold from 700 KW to 300 KW.

Differences between revenues and costs charged by third party transmission providers are deferred and recovered through a transmission cost recovery factor resulting in no impact on margin. Higher transmission cost of energy resulting from rate increases from other transmission service providers within ERCOT increased cost of energy $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. These increases in cost of energy resulted in TNMP rate increases for the recovery of third party transmission costs increasing revenue $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

The AMS surcharge increased revenues and margin by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, which amounts are offset by increases in operating expenses and depreciation. The CTC surcharge increased revenues and margin by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, which amounts are also offset by increases depreciation and amortization expense. Other revenues, which include recovery of the Hurricane Ike, rate case expenses, and energy efficiency programs, were lower for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. These lower revenues were offset by decreases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization. The Hurricane Ike surcharge was terminated in November of 2013 due to full recovery of costs associated with this hurricane.

Table of Contents


Operating expenses decreased $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Lower employee healthcare claims of $0.5 million and lower property and casualty claims of $0.1 million decreased operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Lower vegetation management of $0.2 million and lower labor costs of $0.2 million decreased operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. In addition, lower energy efficiency program costs of $0.2 million decreased operating expense in the three months ended 2014, which is offset in revenue under TNMP’s energy efficiency cost recovery factor. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.3 million for operating expenses associated with the installation of additional meters under the AMS deployment, which is recovered through the AMS surcharge.

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Depreciation expense associated with the AMS deployment, which is recovered through the AMS surcharge, increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Depreciation expense associated with the CTC, which is recovered through the CTC surcharge, increased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. In addition, an increase in utility plant in service increased depreciation by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. These increases are offset by lower amortization of the Hurricane Ike costs of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

Interest expense decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. The decrease primarily results from the April 2013 exchange of $93.2 million of TNMP’s 9.5% First Mortgage Bonds for an equal amount of a new series of 6.95% First Mortgage Bonds.

Operating expenses for Corporate and Other are net of amounts allocated to PNM and TNMP under shared service agreements. Changes in depreciation and amortization are offset in operating expenses as a result of allocation of these costs to other business segments. The change in operating expense is the result of lower depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013 related to certain items of computer software that were fully depreciated in 2013 and changes in the allocation of certain items to PNM and TNMP.
The decrease in other income (deductions) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013 is due to losses related to corporate investments in 2013 that did not recur in 2014. Net interest charges decreased primarily due to lower interest charges resulting from the 2013 repurchase of $23.8 million principal amount of PNMR’s 9.25% Senior Unsecured Notes, Series A, due 2015. The remaining decrease in net interest charges is the result of lower borrowings and lower interest rates on short-term borrowings.

The increase in PNMR’s cash flow from operating activities relate to $60.7 million lower contributions to the PNM and TNMP pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2014 than in 2013. In addition, refunds of $15.2 million made to customers related to the settlement of PNM’s transmission rate in 2013 did not recur in 2014. Higher retail load at TNMP and other changes in assets and liabilities resulting from normal operations increased operating cash flows. These increases were partially offset by lower retail load at PNM.
The changes in PNMR’s cash flows from investing activities relate primarily to an increase of $10.3 million in utility plant additions in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. Utility plant additions at PNM were $7.2 million higher in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, including increases in transmission and distribution additions of $19.9 million, renewable energy additions of $0.4 million, and higher nuclear fuel purchases of $1.5 million. These increases were offset by lower generation additions of $14.6 million. TNMP utility plant additions increased $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, including increases in transmission and distribution additions of $2.4 million and AMS additions of $0.2 million. Corporate plant additions increased $0.3 million in 2014, primarily related to computer hardware and software.
The changes in PNMR’s cash flows from financing activities are primarily due to $33.8 million lower cash inflows from borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Proceeds from long-term borrowings of $175.0 million under the PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement were used to repay the existing $75.0 million PNM Term Loan Agreement and reduce short-term debt.

Financing Activities

See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Note 9 for additional information concerning the Company’s financing activities. PNM must obtain NMPRC approval for any financing transaction having a maturity of more than 18 months. In addition, PNM files its annual short-term financing plan with the NMPRC. The Company’s ability to access the credit and capital markets at a reasonable cost is largely dependent upon its:
Ability to earn a fair return on equity
Results of operations
Ability to obtain required regulatory approvals
Conditions in the financial markets
Credit ratings

Table of Contents

On March 5, 2014, PNM entered into the $175.0 million PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement and used a portion of the funds borrowed there under to repay all amounts outstanding under the existing $75.0 million PNM Term Loan Agreement. The funds were also used to repay other short-term amounts outstanding. There were no prepayment penalties paid in connection with the termination of the PNM Term Loan Agreement. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants and conditions. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement bears interest at a variable rate, which was 1.11% at March 31, 2014 , and must be repaid on or before September 4, 2015. At March 31, 2014 , the weighted average interest rate was 1.01% for borrowings outstanding under the twelve-month PNMR Term Loan Agreement, which matures in December 2014.
  
The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement, as well as the PNMR Term Loan Agreement, each contain one financial covenant, which requires the maintenance of debt-to-capital ratios of less than or equal to 65%.  These ratios for PNMR and PNM include the present value of payments under the PVNGS and EIP leases as debt.
 
Capital Requirements

Total capital requirements consist of construction expenditures and cash dividend requirements for PNMR common stock and PNM preferred stock. Key activities in PNMR’s current construction program include:

Upgrading generation resources, including expenditures for compliance with environmental requirements and for renewable energy resources
Expanding the electric transmission and distribution systems
Purchasing nuclear fuel

Projected capital requirements, including amounts expended through March 31, 2014 , are:

The construction expenditure estimates are under continuing review and subject to ongoing adjustment, as well as to Board review and approval. The construction expenditures above include estimated amounts of $80.0 million related to environmental upgrades at SJGS to address regional haze and $276.3 million related to the identified sources of replacement capacity under the revised plan for compliance described in Note 11. The above construction expenditures also include additional renewable resources anticipated to be required to meet the RPS, additional peaking resources to meet needs outlined in PNM’s current IRP, environmental upgrades at Four Corners of $80.3 million, the purchase of the leased portion of the EIP and the assets underlying three of the PVNGS Unit 2 leases at the expiration of those leases, and the anticipated purchase of Delta. Expenditures for the SJGS and Four Corners environmental upgrades are estimated to be $10.0 million in 2014. See Note 11 and Commitments and Contractual Obligations below. The ability of PNMR to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon the ability of PNM and TNMP to be able to pay dividends to PNMR. Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K describes regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends by PNM and TNMP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 , PNMR met its capital requirements and construction expenditures through cash generated from operations, as well as its liquidity arrangements and the PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement.
 
In addition to the capital requirements for construction expenditures and dividends, the Company has long-term debt that must be paid or refinanced at maturity. Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K contains information about the maturities of long-term debt. The Company has from time to time refinanced or repurchased portions of its outstanding debt before scheduled maturity. Depending on market conditions, the Company may refinance other debt issuances, make additional debt repurchases, or enter into other liquidity arrangements in the future.
Liquidity
PNMR’s liquidity arrangements include the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility that both expire in October 2018 and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility that expires in September 2018. The PNMR Revolving

79

Table of Contents

Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $300.0 million, the PNM Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $400.0 million, and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $75.0 million. On January 8, 2014, PNM entered into the $50.0 million PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, which expires on January 8, 2018. The Company believes the terms and conditions of its facilities are consistent with those of other investment grade revolving credit facilities in the utility industry.  Each of the credit facilities contains one financial covenant that requires the maintenance of debt-to-capital ratios of less than or equal to 65%.  For PNMR and PNM, these ratios reflect the present value of payments under the PVNGS and EIP leases as debt.
The revolving credit facilities and the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility provide short-term borrowing capacity. The revolving credit facilities also allow letters of credit to be issued. Letters of credit reduce the available capacity under the facilities. The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. The Company’s business is seasonal with more revenues and cash flows from operations being generated in the summer months. In general, the Company relies on the credit facilities to be the initial funding source for construction expenditures. Accordingly, borrowings under the facilities may increase over time. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt and use the proceeds to reduce the borrowings under the credit facilities. Borrowings under the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility ranged from zero to $21.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and from $21.5 million to $54.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Borrowings under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility ranged from zero to $82.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and from $9.8 million to $130.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Borrowings under the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2014 ranged from zero to $25.0 million. TNMP had no borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and borrowings ranged from zero to $25.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The Company currently believes that its capital requirements can be met through internal cash generation, existing or new credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets. To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of internal cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to use short-term borrowings under its current and future liquidity arrangements. However, if difficult market conditions experienced during the recent recession return, the Company may not be able to access the capital markets or renew credit facilities when they expire. Should that occur, the Company would seek to improve cash flows by reducing capital expenditures and exploring other available alternatives. Also, PNM may consider seeking authorization for the issuance of first mortgage bonds to improve access to the capital markets.
In addition to its internal cash generation, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing to fund its capital requirements during the 2014-2018 period. This could include debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity.
The credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP were set forth under the heading Liquidity in the MD&A contained in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On January 30, 2014, Moody’s raised the senior unsecured rating for PNMR, the senior unsecured and issuer ratings for PNM, and the senior secured and issuer ratings for TNMP. Moody’s continued to maintain the ratings outlook for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP as positive. On April 30, 2014, S&P changed the outlook for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP to positive from stable. As of April 25, 2014 , ratings on the Company’s securities were as follows:

The above table excludes intercompany debt. As of April 25, 2014 , TNMP had $41.2 million in borrowings from PNMR under their intercompany loan agreement. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facilities at any point in time varies based on a number of factors, including the timing of collections of accounts receivables and payments for construction and operating expenditures.
PNMR can offer new shares of common stock through the PNM Resources Direct Plan under a SEC shelf registration statement that expires in August 2015. PNM has a shelf registration statement for up to $440.0 million of senior unsecured notes that will expire in May 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
PNMR’s off-balance sheet arrangements include PNM’s operating lease obligations for PVNGS Units 1 and 2, the EIP transmission line, and Delta. These arrangements help ensure PNM the availability of lower-cost generation needed to serve customers. See MD&A - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Notes 7 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. See Note 5 and Note 6 for additional information concerning the PVNGS Leases and Delta.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
PNMR, PNM, and TNMP have contractual obligations for long-term debt, operating leases, construction expenditures, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term obligations. See MD&A - Commitments and Contractual Obligations in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

  Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations
As discussed in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP have a number of debt obligations and other contractual commitments that contain contingent provisions. Some of these, if triggered, could affect the liquidity of the Company. In the unlikely event that the contingent requirements were to be triggered, PNMR, PNM, or TNMP could be required to provide security, immediately pay outstanding obligations, or be prevented from drawing on unused capacity under certain credit agreements. The contingent provisions also include contractual increases in the interest rate charged on certain of the Company’s short-term debt obligations in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings. The Company believes its financing arrangements are sufficient to meet the requirements of the contingent provisions. No conditions have occurred that would result in any of the above contingent provisions being implemented.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY

Climate Change Issues

Background
According to EPA, gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. The four primary greenhouse gases are CO 2 , methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases, including chlorofluorocarbons such as Freon. In 2013, GHG associated with PNM’s interests in its generating plants were approximately 7.0 million metric tons of CO 2 , which comprises the vast majority of PNM’s GHG.  By comparison, the total GHG in the United States in 2012, the latest year for which EPA has published this data, were approximately 6.5 billion metric tons, of which approximately 5.4 billion metric tons were CO 2
PNM has several programs underway to reduce or offset GHG from its resource portfolio, thereby reducing its exposure to climate change regulation. See Note 12. In 2011, PNM completed construction of 22 MW of utility-scale solar generation located at five sites on PNM’s system throughout New Mexico. In 2013, PNM expanded its renewable energy portfolio by constructing 21.5 MW of utility-scale solar generation. On December 18, 2013, the NMPRC approved PNM’s 2014 renewable energy procurement plan that includes construction of an additional 23 MW of utility-scale solar generation. This additional generation is anticipated to be online by the end of 2014. Since 2003 PNM has purchased the entire output of New Mexico Wind, which has an aggregate capacity of 204 MW, and will purchase the full output of Red Mesa Wind, which has an aggregate capacity of 102 MW, beginning in January 2015. PNM has signed a 20-year PPA for the output of Lightning Dock Geothermal, which began providing power to PNM in January 2014. The current output of the facility is 4 MW and future expansion may result in up to 10 MW of generation capacity. Additionally, PNM has a customer distributed solar generation program that represented 31 MW at the end of 2013 and is expected to grow to over 36 MW by the end of 2014. Once fully subscribed, the distributed solar programs will reduce PNM’s production from fossil-fueled electricity generation by 117 GWh per year. PNM offers its customers a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency and load management programs, with a 2013 budget of over $17 million, that PNM estimates saved approximately 76 GWh of electricity in 2013. Over the next 20 years, PNM projects the expanded energy efficiency and load management programs will provide the equivalent of approximately 13,565 GWh of electricity, which will avoid at least 6.8 million metric tons of CO 2 based upon projected emissions from PNM’s system-wide resources. These estimates are subject to change because of the high uncertainty of many of the underlying variables, including changes in demand for electricity, and complex interrelationships between those variables.

Management periodically updates the Board on implementation of the corporate environmental policy and the Company’s environmental management systems, promotion of energy efficiency, and use of renewable resources.  The Board is also advised of the Company’s practices and procedures to assess the sustainability impacts of operations on the environment.  The Board considers associated issues around climate change, the Company’s GHG exposures, and financial consequences that might result from potential federal and/or state regulation of GHG.
As of December 31, 2013, approximately 74.7% of PNM’s generating capacity, including resources owned, leased, and under PPAs, all of which is located within the United States, consisted of coal or gas-fired generation that produces GHG. Based on current forecasts, the Company does not expect its output of GHG from existing sources to increase significantly in the near-term. Many factors affect the amount of GHG emitted. For example, if new natural gas-fired generation resources are added to meet increased load as anticipated in PNM’s current IRP, GHG would be incrementally increased. In addition, plant performance could impact the amount of GHG emitted. If PVNGS experienced prolonged outages, PNM might be required to utilize other power supply resources such as gas-fired generation, which could increase GHG. As described in Note 11, on February 15, 2013, PNM, NMED, and EPA agreed to pursue a strategy to address the regional haze requirements of the CAA at the coal-fired SJGS, which would include the shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3. The shutdown of Units 2 and 3 would result in a reduction of GHG of approximately 50 percent at SJGS. That agreement also contemplates that gas-fired generation would be built to partially replace the retired capacity. Although replacement power strategies have not been finalized, the reduction in GHG from the retirement of the coal-fired generation would be far greater than the increase in GHG from replacement with gas-fired generation. On September 5, 2013, the EIB unanimously approved a revised SIP submitted by NMED that encompassed the February 15, 2013 agreement and the revised SIP was submitted to EPA for approval on October 18, 2013. On April 30, 2014, EPA issued an advance copy of the proposed approval of the revised SIP. Final EPA action on the revised SIP is expected by about the end of September 2014.
Because of PNM’s dependence on fossil-fueled generation, any legislation or regulation that imposes a limit or cost on GHG could impact the cost at which electricity is produced. While PNM expects to recover that cost through rates, the timing and outcome of proceedings for cost recovery are uncertain. In addition, to the extent that any additional costs are recovered through rates, customers may reduce their usage, relocate facilities to other areas with lower energy costs, or take other actions that ultimately will adversely impact PNM.
Given the geographic location of its facilities and customers, PNM generally has not been exposed to the extreme weather events and other physical impacts commonly attributed to climate change, with the exception of periodic drought conditions. PNM’s service areas also experience high winds, forest fires, and severe thunderstorms periodically. Climate changes are generally not expected to have material consequences in the near-term. Drought conditions in northwestern New Mexico could impact the availability of water for cooling coal-fired generating plants. Water shortage sharing agreements have been in place since 2004, although no shortage has been declared due to sufficient precipitation in the San Juan River basin. PNM also has a supplemental water contract in place with the Jicarilla Apache Nation to help address any water shortages from primary sources. The contract expires on December 31, 2016.  TNMP has operations in the Gulf Coast area of Texas, which experiences periodic hurricanes and drought conditions. In addition to potentially causing physical damage to TNMP-owned facilities, which disrupt the ability to transmit and/or distribute energy, hurricanes can temporarily reduce customers’ usage and demand for energy.

EPA Regulation
In April 2007, the United States Supreme Court held that EPA has the authority to regulate GHG under the CAA.  This decision heightened the importance of this issue for the energy industry.  In December 2009, EPA released its endangerment finding stating that the atmospheric concentrations of six key greenhouse gases (CO 2 , methane, nitrous oxides, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride) endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations. In May 2010, EPA released the final PSD and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule (the “Tailoring Rule”) to address GHG from stationary sources under the CAA permitting programs. The purpose of the rule is to “tailor” the applicability of two programs, PSD and Title V operating permit programs, to avoid impacting millions of small GHG emitters. The rule focuses on the largest sources of GHG, including fossil-fueled electric generating units. This program currently covers new construction projects that emit GHG of at least 100,000 tons per year (even if PSD is not triggered for other pollutants). In addition, modifications at existing facilities that increase GHG by at least 75,000 tons per year will be subject to PSD permitting requirements, even if they do not significantly increase emissions of any other pollutant. PNM’s fossil-fueled generating plants are potentially subject to the Tailoring Rule because of the magnitude of GHG and other emissions. PNM’s existing plants other than Four Corners do not have any currently planned projects that would trigger PSD permitting for GHG. Four Corners may be subject to PSD review as a result of the SCR

installation planned for Regional Haze compliance. Any newly constructed fossil-fired power plant would likely be subject to the Tailoring Rule.
On June 26, 2012, the D.C. Circuit rejected challenges to EPA’s 2009 GHG endangerment finding, GHG standards for light-duty vehicles, PSD Interpretive Memorandum (EPA’s so-called GHG “Timing Rule”), and the Tailoring Rule. The Court found that EPA’s endangerment finding and its light-duty vehicle rule “are neither arbitrary nor capricious,” that “EPA’s interpretation of the governing CAA provisions is unambiguously correct,” and that “no petitioner has standing to challenge the Timing and Tailoring Rules.” On October 15, 2013, the United States Supreme Court granted a petition for a Writ of Certiorari regarding the permitting of stationary sources that emit GHG. The Supreme Court limited the question that it will be reviewing to: “Whether EPA permissibly determined that its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles triggered permitting requirements under the Clean Air Act for stationary sources that emit greenhouse gases.” Specifically, the case deals with whether EPA’s determination that regulation of GHG from motor vehicles required EPA to regulate stationary sources under the PSD and Title V permitting programs. The petitioners argued that EPA’s determination that it was required to regulate GHG under the PSD and Title V Programs was unlawful as it violates Congressional intent.

On March 27, 2012, EPA issued its proposed carbon pollution standards, under Section 111(b) of the CAA, for GHG from new fossil-fueled EGU. The proposed NSPS set a limit of 1,000 lb of CO 2 /MWh and would cover newly constructed fossil-fueled EGUs larger than 25 MW. The proposed limit was based on the performance of natural gas combined cycle technology. Therefore, coal-fired power plants would only be able to comply with the standard by using carbon capture and sequestration technology. The proposed rule included an exemption for new simple cycle EGUs. EPA accepted comment on the proposed rule through June 25, 2012, during which EPA received over 2.5 million comments. As a result of the comments, EPA reproposed the EGU NSPS as discussed below.

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced the President’s Climate Action Plan which outlines how his administration plans to cut GHG in the United States, prepare the country for the impacts of climate change, and lead international efforts to combat and prepare for global warming. The plan proposes actions that would lead to the reduction of GHG by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. The President also issued a Presidential Memorandum to EPA to continue development of the GHG NSPS regulations for electric generators. The Presidential Memorandum establishes a timeline for the reproposal and issuance of a GHG NSPS for new sources and a timeline for the proposal and final rule for developing carbon pollution standards, regulations, or guidelines for GHG reductions from existing sources under Section 111(d) of the CAA. EPA met the President’s timeline for the reproposal of the GHG NSPS for new sources (under Section 111(b) of the CAA) by releasing the draft rule on September 20, 2013. In accordance with the Presidential Memorandum, EPA will issue a final rule in “a timely fashion thereafter.” EPA is also directed to issue the proposed GHG NSPS for modified and existing EGUs by June 1, 2014 and issue the final rule by June 1, 2015. Each state then must submit a SIP that addresses how the state will comply with the new regulation no later than June 30, 2016.

The Presidential Memorandum further directs EPA to allow the use of “market-based instruments” and “other regulatory flexibilities” to ensure standards will allow for continued reliance on a range of energy sources and technologies and that they are developed and implemented in a manner that provides for reliable and affordable energy and to undertake the rulemaking through direct engagement with states, “as they will play a central role in establishing and implementing standards for existing power plants,” and with utility leaders, labor leaders, non-governmental organizations, tribal officials and other stakeholders.
EPA’s reproposed GHG NSPS for new sources published on September 20, 2013 apply only to new fossil-fired EGUs. The reproposed standard would revise requirements for new fossil-fired utility boilers, integrated gasification combined cycle units, combined and simple cycle turbines, and new sources meeting certain other criteria. New fossil fuel-fired utility boilers including coal-fired and integrated gasification combined cycle units would be required to meet an emissions limit of 1,100 pounds of CO 2 per MWh on a 12-operating month rolling average basis or an alternative limit of 1,000 to 1,050 pounds of CO 2 per MWh based on an 84-operating month average. New coal-fired facilities would only be able to meet the standard by using partial carbon capture and sequestration technology. New combined or simple cycle gas turbines would be subject to an emission limit of either 1,000 or 1,100 pounds of CO 2 per MWh based on whether the rated capacity of the unit is above or below 850 million BTUs per hour. The reproposed GHG NSPS removed the blanket exemption for simple-cycle turbines and instead provided an exemption for units that sell to the transmission grid less than one-third of their potential electric output over a three-year rolling average.
EPA regulation of GHG from large stationary sources will impact PNM’s fossil-fueled EGUs. Impacts could involve investments in efficiency improvements and/or control technologies at the fossil-fueled EGUs. In setting existing source standards, EPA has historically used technology-based performance standards on emission rates. The only end-of-pipe emission control technology for coal and gas fired power plants available for GHG reduction is carbon capture and sequestration, which is not yet

a commercially demonstrated technology. There are limited efficiency enhancement measures that may be available to a subset of the existing EGUs; however, such measures would provide only marginal GHG improvements. It is also possible EPA may allow states to consider a broader range of emission reduction measures, such as fuel switching, end use energy efficiency, or renewable energy deployment. Additional GHG control technologies for existing EGUs may become viable in the future. The costs of such improvements or technologies could impact the economic viability of some plants.
The ultimate impact of EPA’s regulation of GHG to PNM is unknown because the regulatory requirements, including BACT implications and NSPS requirements, are in draft form or are still developing. PNM estimates that implementation of the revised SIP for BART at SJGS, which requires the installation of SNCRs on Units 1 and 4 by the later of January 2016 or 15 months after EPA approval of a revised SIP and the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 by the end of 2017, will allow PNM on a system-wide basis to meet or exceed the President’s GHG reduction goal of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. The reduction in CO 2 emissions that will result from implementation of the revised SIP may allow PNM to meet future GHG regulations; however, until such regulations are finalized, PNM is uncertain of the requirements for compliance.
Federal Legislation
Prospects for enactment of legislation imposing a new or enhanced regulatory program to address climate change in Congress are unlikely in 2014, although there is growing interest among some policymakers in addressing climate change and there may be legislation in the future.  Instead, EPA is the primary venue for GHG regulation in the near future, especially for coal-fired units. PNM has assessed, and continues to assess, the impacts of potential climate change legislation or regulation on its business.  This assessment is preliminary and future changes arising out of the legislative or regulatory process could impact the assessment significantly.  PNM’s assessment includes assumptions regarding the specific GHG limits, the timing of implementation of these limits, the possibility of a cap and trade program including the associated costs and the availability of offsets, the development of technologies for renewable energy and to reduce emissions, and provisions for cost containment. Moreover, the assessment assumes various market reactions such as the price of coal and gas and regional plant economics.  These assumptions, at best, are preliminary and speculative. However, based upon these assumptions, the enactment of climate change legislation could, among other things, result in significant compliance costs, including large capital expenditures by PNM, and could jeopardize the economic viability of certain generating facilities. See Note 11.  In turn, these consequences could lead to increased costs to customers and affect results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition if the incurred costs are not fully recovered through regulated rates. Higher rates could also contribute to reduced usage of electricity.  PNM’s assessment process is ongoing, but too preliminary and speculative at this time for the meaningful prediction of financial impact.
State and Regional Activity
Pursuant to New Mexico law, each utility must submit an IRP to the NMPRC every three years to evaluate renewable energy, energy efficiency, load management, distributed generation, and conventional supply-side resources on a consistent and comparable basis.  The IRP is required to take into consideration risk and uncertainty of fuel supply, price volatility, and costs of anticipated environmental regulations when evaluating resource options to meet supply needs of the utility’s customers.  The NMPRC requires that New Mexico utilities factor a standardized cost of carbon emissions into their IRPs using prices ranging between $8 and $40 per metric ton of CO 2 emitted and escalating these costs by 2.5% per year.  Under the NMPRC order, each utility must analyze these standardized prices as projected operating costs.  Reflecting the developing nature of this issue, the NMPRC order states that these prices may be changed in the future to account for additional information or changed circumstances.  However, PNM is required to use these prices for purposes of its IRP, and the prices may not reflect the costs that it ultimately will incur.  PNM’s IRP filed with the NMPRC on July 18, 2011 showed that while consideration of the NMPRC required carbon emissions costs did not significantly change the resource decisions regarding future facilities over the next 20 years, it did slightly impact the projected in-service dates of some of the identified resources.  Largely because future resource options are low-GHG emitting resources much higher GHG costs than assumed in the NMPRC analysis are necessary to impact future resource decisions. The primary consequence of the standardized cost of carbon emissions was an increase to generation portfolio costs.
In recent years, New Mexico adopted regulations, which have since been repealed, that would directly limit GHG from larger sources, including EGUs, through a regional GHG cap and trade program and that would cap GHG from larger sources such as EGUs. Although these rules have been repealed, PNM cannot rule out future state legislative or regulatory initiatives to regulate GHG.

On August 2, 2012, thirty-three New Mexico organizations representing public health, business, environmental, consumers, Native American, and other interested parties filed a petition for rulemaking with the NMPRC. The petition asked the NMPRC to issue a NOPR regarding the implementation of an Optional Clean Energy Standard for electric utilities located in New Mexico.

85

Table of Contents

The proposed standard would have utilities that elect to participate reduce their CO 2 emissions by 3% per year. Utilities that opt into the program would be assured recovery of their reasonable compliance costs. On October 4, 2012, the NMPRC held a workshop to discuss the proposed standard and whether it has authority to proceed with the NOPR. On August 23, 2013, the petitioners amended the August 2, 2012 petition and requested that the NMPRC issue a NOPR to implement a “Carbon Risk Reduction Rule” for electric utilities in New Mexico. The proposed rule would require affected utilities to demonstrate a 3% per year CO 2 emission reduction from a three-year average baseline period between 2005 and 2012. The proposed rule would use a credit system that provides credits for electricity production based on how much less than one metric ton of CO 2 per MWh the utility emits. Credits would be retired such that 3% per year reductions are achieved from the baseline year until 2035 unless a participating utility elects to terminate the program at the end of 2023. Credits would not expire and could be banked. An advisory committee of interested stakeholders would monitor the program. In addition, utilities would be allowed to satisfy their obligations by funding NMPRC approved energy efficiency programs. There has been no further action on this matter at the NMPRC.

International Accords

The Company monitors international treaties and accords such as the Kyoto Protocol and the EU Emissions Trading System to determine potential impacts to their business activities.  The Company does not anticipate any direct impact near-term from international accords.

Transmission Issues
At any given time, FERC has various notices of inquiry and rulemaking dockets related to transmission issues pending. Such actions may lead to changes in FERC administrative rules or ratemaking policy, but have no time frame in which action must be taken or a docket closed with no further action. Further, such notices and rulemaking dockets do not apply strictly to PNM, but will have industry-wide effects in that they will apply to all FERC-regulated entities. PNM monitors and often submits comments taking a position in such notices and rulemaking dockets or may join in larger group responses. PNM often cannot determine the full impact of a proposed rule and policy change until the final determination is made by FERC and PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
On November 24, 2009, FERC issued Order 729 approving two Modeling, Data, and Analysis Reliability Standards (“Reliability Standards”) submitted by NERC - MOD-001-1 (Available Transmission System Capability) and MOD-029-1 (Rated System Path Methodology). Both MOD-001-1 and MOD-029-1 require a consistent approach, provided for in the Reliability Standards, to measuring the total transmission capability (“TTC”) of a transmission path. The TTC level established using the two Reliability Standards could result in a reduction in the available transmission capacity currently used by PNM to deliver generation resources necessary for its jurisdictional load and for fulfilling its obligations to third-party users of the PNM transmission system.
During the first quarter of 2011, at the request of PNM and other southwestern utilities, NERC advised all transmission owners and transmission service providers that the implementation of portions of the MOD-029 methodology for “Flow Limited” paths has been delayed until such time as a modification to the standard can be developed that will mitigate the technical concerns identified by the transmission owners and transmission service providers. PNM and other western utilities filed a Standards Action Request with NERC in the second quarter of 2012.
NERC initiated an informal development process to address directives in Order No. 729 to modify certain aspects of the MOD standards, including MOD-001 and MOD-029. The modifications to this standard would retire MOD-029 and require each transmission operator to determine and develop methodology for TTC values for MOD-001.
A final ballot for MOD-001-2 concluded on December 20, 2013 and received sufficient affirmative votes for approval. On February 10, 2014, NERC filed with FERC a petition for approval of MOD-001-2 and retirement of reliability standards MOD-001-1a, MOD-004-1, MOD-008-1, MOD-028-2, MOD-029-1a, and MOD-030-2. The MOD-001-2 standard will become effective on the first day of the calendar quarter that is 18 months after the date the standard is approved by FERC. The retirement and changes to these MOD standards will remove the risk of reduced TTC for PNM and other southwestern utilities.
In July 2011, FERC issued Order 1000 adopting new requirements for transmission planning, cost allocation, and development.  Order 1000 calls for significant changes to the transmission process of WestConnect, an organization of utility companies providing transmission of electricity in the western region that includes PNM.  On October 11, 2012, PNM and other WestConnect participants filed modified versions of Attachment K to their transmission tariffs to meet Order 1000 regional compliance requirements. Thirteen intervention motions were filed, with several objecting to and/or protesting various provisions

86

Table of Contents

of the filings submitted by the WestConnect participants. On December 17, 2012, the WestConnect participants filed responses to the issues raised by the intervenors. On March 22, 2013, FERC issued its order regarding PNM’s and six other WestConnect FERC jurisdictional utilities compliance filings. FERC partially accepted many aspects of the filings including the governance structure that gives the transmission owners a veto authority over the regional plan and cost allocations. A major change directed by FERC is the requirement that the cost allocations be binding on identified beneficiaries and that a process be created that will result in a qualified developer being selected. PNM and the other WestConnect FERC jurisdictional entities submitted compliance filings on September 20, 2013 to address and comply with the March 22, 2013 FERC order. On July 11, 2013, the WestConnect participants submitted an additional compliance filing to address the planning and cost allocation between WestConnect and other regions.

Financial Reform Legislation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Reform Act”), enacted in July 2010, includes provisions that will require certain over-the-counter derivatives, or swaps, to be centrally cleared and executed through an exchange or other approved trading facility. It also includes provisions related to swap transaction reporting and recordkeeping and may impose margin requirements on swaps that are not centrally cleared. The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has published final rules defining several key terms related to the act and has set compliance dates for various types of market participants. The Dodd-Frank Reform Act provides exemptions from certain requirements, including an exception to the mandatory clearing and swap facility execution requirements for commercial end-users that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk.  PNM expects to qualify for this exception. PNM also expects to be able to comply with its requirements under the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and related rules within the time frames required by the CFTC. However, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and related rules, PNM’s swap activities could be subject to increased costs, including from higher margin requirements. In addition, implementation of, and compliance with, the swaps provisions of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and related rules by PNM’s swap counterparties could result in increased costs. At this time, PNM cannot predict the ultimate impact the Dodd-Frank Reform Act may have on PNM’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.

Other Matters

On March 25, 2013, a petition was filed by IBEW Local 66 with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to certify a union at TNMP for utility workers. On April 12, 2013, a second petition was filed by IBEW Local 66 with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to certify a union at TNMP for meter technicians, who were not included in the original petition. Approximately 200 employees were covered by the petitions. Elections to determine whether the IBEW would represent the employees were held in May 2013.  The employees voted to unionize through both petitions and contract negotiations have begun. Subsequently, on June 25, 2013, a third petition was filed by IBEW Local 66 with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to include a group of three relay technicians, who were not included in the original petition. In August 2013, the relay technicians voted to unionize and contract negotiations have begun. As of December 31, 2013, TNMP had 192 employees represented by IBEW Local 66. The parties are still in negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement.

See Notes 11 and 12 herein and Notes 16 and 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K for a discussion of commitments and contingencies and rate and regulatory matters.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Company management to select and apply accounting policies that best provide the framework to report the results of operations and financial position for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. The selection and application of those policies requires management to make difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments concerning reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. As a result, there exists the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

As of March 31, 2014 , there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies disclosed in PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s 2013 Annual Reports on Forms 10-K. The policies disclosed included unbilled revenues, regulatory accounting, impairments, decommissioning and reclamation costs, derivatives, pension and other postretirement benefits, accounting for contingencies, income taxes, and market risk.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages the scope of its various forms of risk through a comprehensive set of policies and procedures with oversight by senior level management through the RMC. The Board’s Finance Committee sets the risk limit parameters. The RMC has oversight over the risk control organization. The RMC is assigned responsibility for establishing and enforcing the policies, procedures and limits and evaluating the risks inherent in proposed transactions on an enterprise-wide basis. The RMC’s responsibilities include:


89

Table of Contents

• Establishing policies regarding risk exposure levels and activities in each of the business segments
• Approving the types of derivatives entered into for hedging
• Reviewing and approving hedging risk activities
• Establishing policies regarding counterparty exposure and limits
• Authorizing and delegating transaction limits
• Reviewing and approving controls and procedures for derivative activities
• Reviewing and approving models and assumptions used to calculate mark-to-market and market risk exposure
• Proposing risk limits to the Board’s Finance Committee for its approval
• Quarterly reporting to the Board’s Audit and Finance Committees on these activities

To the extent an open position exists, fluctuating commodity prices, interest rates, equity prices, and economic conditions can impact financial results and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably. As a result, the Company cannot predict with
certainty the impact that its risk management decisions may have on its businesses, operating results, or financial position.
Commodity Risk
Information concerning accounting for derivatives and the risks associated with commodity contracts is set forth in Note 7, including a summary of the fair values of mark-to-market energy related derivative contracts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, PNMR and PNM had no commodity derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments.
Commodity contracts, other than those that do not meet the definition of a derivative under GAAP, and those derivatives designated as normal purchases and normal sales, are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table details the changes in PNMR’s net asset or liability balance sheet position for mark-to-market energy transactions.

Table of Contents

PNM measures the market risk of its long-term contracts and wholesale activities using a Monte Carlo VaR simulation model to report the possible loss in value from price movements. VaR is not a measure of the potential accounting mark-to-market loss. The quantitative risk information is limited by the parameters established in creating the model. The Monte Carlo VaR methodology employs the following critical parameters: historical volatility estimates, market values of all contractual commitments, a three-day holding period, seasonally adjusted and cross-commodity correlation estimates, and a 95% confidence level. The instruments being evaluated may trigger a potential loss in excess of calculated amounts if changes in commodity prices exceed the confidence level of the model used.
PNM measures VaR for the positions in its wholesale portfolio (not covered by the FPPAC). For the three months ended March 31, 2014 , the high, low, and average VaR amounts were $0.9 million, $0.6 million, and $0.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , the high, low, and average VaR amounts were $1.4 million, $0.6 million, and $0.9 million. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the VaR amounts for the PNM wholesale portfolio were $0.7 million and $0.6 million.
The VaR limits, which were not exceeded during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013 , represent an estimate of the potential gains or losses that could be recognized on the Company’s portfolios, subject to market risk, given current volatility in the market, and are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur, since actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated. Actual gains and losses may differ due to actual fluctuations in market prices, operating exposures, and the timing thereof, as well as changes to the underlying portfolios during the year.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its retail and wholesale customers, as well as the counterparties to derivative instruments. The Company conducts counterparty risk analysis across business segments and uses a credit management process to assess the financial conditions of counterparties. The following table provides information related to PNMR’s credit exposure by the credit worthiness (credit rating) and concentration of credit risk for counterparties to derivative transactions. All credit exposures at March 31, 2014 will mature in less than two years.

(1)  
The rating “Investment Grade” is for counterparties, or a guarantor, with a minimum S&P rating of BBB- or Moody’s rating of Baa3. The category “Internal Ratings - Investment Grade” includes those counterparties that are internally rated as investment grade in accordance with the guidelines established in the Company’s credit policy.

(2)  
The Credit Risk Exposure is the gross credit exposure, including long-term contracts (other than firm-requirements wholesale customers), forward sales, and short-term sales. The exposure captures the amounts from receivables/payables for realized transactions, delivered and unbilled revenues, and mark-to-market gains/losses. Gross exposures can be offset according to legally enforceable netting arrangements but are not reduced by posted credit collateral. At March 31, 2014 , PNMR held $0.1 million of cash collateral to offset its credit exposure.
    
Net credit risk for the Company’s largest counterparty as of March 31, 2014 was $8.4 million.

Table of Contents

The PVNGS lessor notes are not exposed to credit risk, since the notes are repaid as PNM makes payments on the underlying leases. Other investments have no significant counterparty credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of the Company’s long-term debt is fixed-rate debt and does not expose earnings to a major risk of loss due to adverse changes in market interest rates. However, the fair value of PNMR’s consolidated long-term debt instruments would increase by 2.1%, or $43.1 million, if interest rates were to decline by 50 basis points from their levels at March 31, 2014 . In general, an increase in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows to the extent not recoverable in rates if all or a portion of debt instruments were acquired in the open market prior to their maturity. As described in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, TNMP has long-term debt of $50.0 million that bears interest at a variable rate. However, TNMP has also entered into a hedging arrangement that effectively results in this debt bearing interest at a fixed rate, thereby eliminating interest rate risk. At April 25, 2014 , PNMR, PNM, and TNMP had zero, zero, and $6.0 million of short term debt outstanding under their revolving credit facilities, which allow for a maximum aggregate borrowing capacity of $300.0 million for PNMR, $400.0 million for PNM, and $75.0 million for TNMP. PNM had no borrowings under its $50.0 million PNM New Mexico Credit Facility at April 25, 2014 . The revolving credit facilities, the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, the $175.0 million PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement, and the $100.0 million PNMR Term Loan Agreement bear interest at variable rates, which averaged 1.15% for the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, 1.01% for the PNMR Term Loan Agreement, and 1.10% for the PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement on April 25, 2014 , and the Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent of future increases in variable interest rates.

The investments held by PNM in trusts for decommissioning and reclamation had an estimated fair value of $230.3 million at March 31, 2014 , of which 40.5% were fixed-rate debt securities that subject PNM to risk of loss of fair value with movements in market interest rates. If interest rates were to increase by 50 basis points from their levels at March 31, 2014 , the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be 3.3%, or $3.1 million.

PNM does not directly recover or return through rates any losses or gains on the securities, including equity investments discussed below, in the trusts for decommissioning and reclamation. However, the overall performance of these trusts does enter into the periodic determinations of expense and funding levels, which are factored into the rate making process to the extent applicable to regulated operations. PNM is at risk for shortfalls in funding of obligations due to investment losses, including those from the equity market risks discussed below to the extent not ultimately recovered through rates charged to customers.

Equity Market Risk

The investments held by PNM in trusts for decommissioning and reclamation include certain equity securities at March 31, 2014 . These equity securities expose PNM to losses in fair value should the market values of the underlying securities decline. Equity securities comprised 57.7% of the securities held by various trusts as of March 31, 2014. A hypothetical 10% decrease in equity prices would reduce the fair values of these funds by $13.3 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal controls

There have been no changes in each of PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each of PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Amendment to PVNGS Participation Agreement

PNM, along with APS, SCE, Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, El Paso Electric Company, Southern California Public Power Authority, and Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, are parties to a certain agreement entitled Arizona Nuclear Power Project Participation Agreement, dated as of August 23, 1973, as amended by fifteen amendments (as so amended, the “Participation Agreement”). The Arizona Nuclear Power Project is also known as PVNGS.

The Participation Agreement was further amended by Amendment Number 16, which was signed by the last of the parties on April 28, 2014. The purpose of Amendment Number 16 is to extend the expiration date of the Participation Agreement to align with the license extensions granted by the NRC on April 21, 2011 for each of the three units at PVNGS. The latest expiration date

93



of the original operating licenses had been November 25, 2027, which was extended by the NRC to November 25, 2047.  Also, in accordance with Amendment Number 16, the term of the Participation Agreement would be automatically extended in the event of future extensions of the NRC operating licenses.

Leases of Interests in PVNGS Unit 2

See Note 6 for a discussion of PNM’s PVNGS Unit 2 leases. On May 1, 2014, PNM and PNMR Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNMR, entered into a letter agreement (the “Cypress Letter Agreement”) with Cypress Verde LLC and Cypress Second PV Partnership (together, the “Cypress Entities”). The Cypress Entities are the respective lessors under two (the “Cypress Leases”) of the three Unit 2 leases for which notices were given on January 13, 2014 that PNM would exercise its fair market value purchase option. Consistent with the Cypress Leases and such notices, the Cypress Letter Agreement specifies the fair market value of the 32.76 MW of generating capacity subject to both of the Cypress Leases as of the end of the original lease term, January 15, 2016. The agreed fair market value in total for both of the Cypress Leases as of January 15, 2016 is $85.2 million. The agreement with respect to such fair market value is binding on PNM and the Cypress Entities.

The Cypress Letter Agreement also constitutes a letter of intent containing non-binding terms relating to the possible purchase of the entities that own the leased assets by PNMR Development prior to the expiration of the leases on January 15, 2016. The prices for the early purchase of the interests would depend on the actual date of the purchase and range from $79.9 million if the purchase were to take place on June 1, 2014 up to $85.2 million if the purchase were to take place on January 14, 2016. In addition, an amount equal to the lessors’ equity return portion of the future lease payments discounted to the early purchase date would be due upon an early purchase. Such amount would be $5.8 million on June 1, 2014 and would decline to $1.2 million on January 14, 2016. Any obligation of PNMR Development to purchase such interests is subject to appropriate approvals by the Board and the board of PNMR Development and the negotiation of acceptable definitive agreements. PNMR and PNM are unable to predict whether or not the early purchase of the Cypress Leases by PNMR Development will take place prior to the expiration of the leases, at which time PNM is otherwise obligated to purchase the leased assets in accordance with its January 13, 2014 notices.

Exhibit 10.1



PNM RESOURCES, INC.
2014 OFFICER ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN



Introduction
PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “PNMR”) has adopted this 2014 Officer Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing annual cash-based incentive awards (each an “Award”) to eligible Officers (as defined below). The Awards payable to Officers under the Plan are intended to qualify as Performance Cash Awards granted pursuant to Section 9.4 of the PNM Resources, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Performance Equity Plan (the “PEP”). In the case of Officers who are Covered Employees as defined in the PEP, the Awards also are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards granted pursuant to Section 12 of the PEP.
Capitalized terms used in the PEP and not otherwise defined in this Plan document have the meanings given to them in the PEP.
Eligibility
All Officers of the Company and its Affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the term “Officer” means any employee who has the title of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President and who is in salary grade H18 or higher.
Award Determinations in General
Awards are based on the Incentive Earnings Per Share (“Incentive EPS”) levels for the Performance Period as set forth in Table 1 of Attachment A, the weighting between Corporate and Business Area goals as described in Table 2 of Attachment A and Award levels achieved during the Performance Period as described in Table 3 of Attachment A. The Performance Period began on January 1, 2014 and will end on December 31, 2014.
An Officer’s Award will equal the Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool described below. If the Officer’s share of the appropriate Performance Award Pool described below is less than the Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool, however, the Officer will receive the smaller amount.
An Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool or the Performance Award Pool (individually, an “Award Pool”), as applicable, will be based upon the amount potentially payable to the Officer for the attained level of performance (Threshold, Target or Maximum), as determined in accordance with Table 3 of Attachment A, as compared to the aggregate amounts potentially payable for the attained level of performance to all of the Officers who are entitled to share in that Award Pool. In determining the amount potentially payable to an Officer, the base salaries will be determined as of January 1, 2014. In no event will the amount payable to an Officer exceed the indicated percentage of the Officer’s base salary for the attained performance

        



level as set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A. In addition, in no event will the amount payable to one Officer be increased due to a decrease in the amount payable to any other Officer.
Incentive EPS Award Pool
In order for any Awards to be payable to eligible Officers, the Company must achieve the Threshold Incentive EPS level set forth in Table 1 of Attachment A. If the Company does not achieve the Threshold Incentive EPS level (calculated before any charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan), no Awards are payable under the Plan to any Officer. If the Company achieves the Threshold Incentive EPS level (calculated before any charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan), but the charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan reduce the Incentive EPS to an amount below the Threshold Incentive EPS level, the Threshold level Incentive EPS Award Pool shall be reduced by the amount necessary to assure that the Incentive EPS is equal to the Threshold Incentive EPS level, unless the Committee, in the exercise of its discretion concludes that no Awards should be payable.
If the Threshold, Target or Maximum Incentive EPS levels, as listed in Table 1, are achieved, the aggregate potential Awards payable to the Officers at that level of performance (e.g., the aggregate level of Awards payable at Threshold, Target or Maximum as shown in Table 3 of Attachment A) will make up the “Incentive EPS Award Pool.” If the actual Incentive EPS exceeds the minimum level for a performance level by at least $0.01, but is less than the maximum level for that performance level (e.g., if the actual Incentive EPS exceeds $1.42 but is less than $1.47), the Incentive EPS Award Pool will be increased by using straight-line interpolation between the size of the Incentive EPS Award Pool based on the attained level (e.g., Threshold) and the size of the Incentive EPS Award Pool at the next higher level (e.g., Target). The Committee has the discretion to increase the Incentive EPS Award Pool by an amount less than the amount determined by using straight-line interpolation. The Incentive EPS Award Pool is capped by the aggregate Maximum Awards shown in Table 3 for all eligible Officers.
Performance Award Pools
A Corporate Goals Scorecard and Business Area Scorecards listing each performance measure established by the Committee will be maintained by the PNM Resources, Inc. Management Systems Group. As set forth in Table 2 of Attachment A, the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Officers (the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President and the Senior Vice Presidents) are measured 100% on the Corporate Goals Scorecard. Vice Presidents are measured 60% on the Corporate Goals Scorecard and 40% on the Business Area Goals Scorecard.
The “Performance Award Pool” for each Business Area is the amount that could be paid in the aggregate to the Vice Presidents assigned to that Business Area based on performance alone, determined by using the following multi-step process:
a)
Select the Scorecard results from the appropriate Corporate Goal and Business Area Scorecards;
b)
Then multiply each result by the appropriate weighting for the Scorecard as set forth in Table 2 of Attachment A;


2
        



c)
Then multiply the total Vice President salaries for that Business Area by the Target Award Level as set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A;
d)
Then multiply the result of each Scorecard (Step b), expressed as a percentage of Target, by the aggregate base salaries of the Vice Presidents included in that Business Area (Step c); and
e)
Sum the results for the Vice President participants.
The Performance Award Pool for the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Officers will be constructed by using the same process but will be based solely upon the Corporate Goals Scorecard.
Award Approval and Payout Timing
In February 2015, the Committee will determine and certify the level of Awards, if any, payable for the Performance Period in the manner described above. The final Awards calculation and recommendation to the Committee by management will be reviewed and certified by the Vice-President, Human Resources; Director, Audit Services; Director, Management Systems group; and Corporate Controller, respectively. The independent directors of the Board then will approve the Chief Executive Officer’s Award and the Committee will approve the Awards for all other Officers. To the extent Awards are payable under the Plan, the Company will make the payment on or before March 15, 2015 in a single lump sum cash payment subject to applicable withholding.
The Committee shall retain the authority to adjust the Incentive EPS Award Pool and the Performance Award Pool, to adjust the level of attainment of the Incentive EPS or Corporate Goal and Business Area Scorecards or to otherwise increase or decrease the amount payable with respect to any Award made pursuant to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee’s authority to increase Awards made pursuant to this Plan does not apply to Covered Employees.
Provisions for a Change in Control
If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Officer remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate at the end of the Performance Period, the Officer may be entitled to receive an Award for the Performance Period as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. If the Plan is modified after the occurrence of a Change in Control in a manner that has the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise payable under the Plan, an Officer who remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate at the end of the Performance Period will receive, at a minimum, an Award equal to 50% of the Maximum Award available under this Plan for the Performance Period.
If an Officer terminates employment with the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Period due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, the Officer may be entitled to receive a special payment pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. Officer Retention Plan in lieu of any payments under this Plan.

Pro-rata Awards for Partial Service Periods
In certain circumstances (as set forth below) Officers may or may not be eligible for a Pro-rata Award under the Plan.
The following Officers may be eligible for a Pro-rata Award:
-

-
Employees or Officers who are promoted, transferred or demoted during the Performance Period and are employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the day on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period.

The following Officers are not eligible for any Award, including a Pro-rata Award:
Officers who terminate employment with the Company or an Affiliate on or before the date on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period for any reason other than death, Impaction (as defined in the PNM Resources, Inc. Non-Union Severance Pay Plan), Retirement, or Disability. As noted above, Officers who terminate employment with the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Period due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination may be entitled to receive a special payment pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. Officer Retention Plan in lieu of any payments under this Plan.
Officers who elect voluntary separation or Retirement in lieu of termination for performance or misconduct.
If an Officer is eligible for a Pro-rata Award, it will be calculated based on the number of full month(s) that the Officer was actively employed at each eligibility level during the Performance Period compared to the number of full months included in the Performance Period. (Note: Only months in which the Officer is actively employed on the payroll on the first and last day of the month will count as a full month.) Any Pro-rata Award to which an Officer becomes eligible pursuant to this paragraph will be paid to the Officer in a single lump sum cash payment subject to applicable withholding on or before March 15, 2015.

Ethics
The purpose of the Plan is to fairly reward performance achievement. Any Officer who manipulates or attempts to manipulate the Plan for personal gain at the expense of customers, shareholders, other employees, or the Company or its Affiliates will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, and will forfeit and be ineligible to receive any Award under the Plan.
Continuation of Employment
This Plan does not confer upon any Officer any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate and does not limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate, in its sole discretion, to terminate the employment of any Officer at any time. This Plan also does not limit any right that the Company or any Affiliate has to terminate the employment of any Officer in accordance with any written employment agreement the Company and Officer may have.
Clawbacks
Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan is subject to recovery by the Company pursuant to Section 21.5 of the PEP.
Amendments
The Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to adjust, amend or suspend the Plan during the Performance Period.

Exhibit 10.2

PNM RESOURCES, INC.
2014 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Introduction
The 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan” or the “2014 Plan”) provides eligible officers of PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “PNMR”) with the opportunity to earn Performance Share Awards (70% of the total opportunity) and time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Awards (30% of the total opportunity). For purposes of the Plan, “officer” means any employee who has the title of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President and who is in salary grade H18 or higher.
The number of Performance Shares earned by an officer for the Performance Period (as described below) will depend on the officer’s position ( e.g. , Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President) and base salary and the Company’s level of attainment of a Relative TSR Goal and an FFO/Debt Ratio Goal, as described below.
The number of time-vested Restricted Stock Rights granted to an officer at the end of each Performance Period will depend on the officer’s position, the officer’s base salary and the discretion of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”).
Performance Periods
The Performance Period began on January 1, 2014 and will end on December 31, 2016.
Performance Goals
The number of Performance Shares that an officer will receive for the Performance Period will depend on the Company’s level of attainment of a Relative TSR Goal and a FFO/Debt Ratio Goal.
These Goals and the corresponding Awards are described in the Performance Goal Table (Attachment A).
Performance Share Award Opportunities
The Company’s level of attainment (Threshold, Target or Maximum) of the Relative TSR and FFO/Debt Ratio Goals determines the level (Threshold, Target or Maximum) of the officer’s Performance Share Awards.
An officer’s Performance Share Award opportunities also will vary depending on the officer’s position and the officer’s base salary, all as determined in accordance with the Performance Share Award Opportunity Table (Attachment B).
For purposes of determining the number of Performance Shares to which an officer is entitled at any particular Award Level, the value of one Performance Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Stock on the relevant Grant Date and the officer’s base salary shall equal the officer’s base salary as of the first day of the Performance Period.

         



Time-Vested Restricted Stock Rights Award Opportunities
After the Performance Period (generally between the next following January 1 and March 15), the Committee will consider whether to grant time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Awards to the participating officers.
If the Committee, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), decides to make a time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award to a particular officer, it must adopt a written resolution to that effect. In the resolution, the Committee will establish the Grant Date for the time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award.
An officer’s time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award opportunity will vary depending on the officer’s position and the officer’s base salary, all as determined in accordance with the attached time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award Opportunity Table (Attachment C). The Committee reserves the discretion to grant an Award that is less than the opportunity set forth in the Table or to grant no time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award to a particular officer.
For purposes of determining the number of time-vested Restricted Stock Rights to which an officer will be entitled, the value of one time-vested Restricted Stock Right shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Stock on the Grant Date specified in the Committee’s resolution and the officer’s base salary shall equal the officer’s base salary on the Grant Date.
Other Provisions
All of the Awards will be made pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Performance Equity Plan (the “PEP”) or any successor to the PEP. Any references in the Plan to the PEP shall be deemed to be a reference to the corresponding provisions of any successor to the PEP.
All of the Awards will be subject to the standard Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Attachment D.
The Grant Date for the Performance Share Awards is March 5, 2014 (the first trading day after expiration of the current black-out period, as determined in accordance with the Company’s Equity Compensation Awards Policy).
A prorated Performance Share Award will be provided to an officer who Separates from Service in the second half of the Performance Period (in other words, between July 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016) due to death, Disability, Retirement or Impaction. A pro- rated Award will not be paid to an officer who Separates from Service for any of these reasons during the first half of the Performance Period or to an officer who Separates from Service for any other reason prior to the last day of the Performance Period.
The prorated Award will be calculated at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance during the Performance Period. The proration will be made based on the number of full months of service completed by the officer during the Performance Period, using the proration rules described in Section 13.1(a)(iv)(2) of the PEP. The prorated Award then will be paid at the same time as Awards are paid to other participants in the Plan.

2



If an individual ceases to be an officer during a Performance Period but remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee may grant a pro-rata Performance Share Award to the former officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate as long as the individual was an officer for at least half of the Performance Period.
If an individual becomes an officer during a Performance Period, the Committee may grant a pro-rata Award to the new officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate.
All Performance Share Awards payable to officers who are Covered Employees for the Company’s tax year that coincides with the end of the Performance Period are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards granted pursuant to Section 12 of the PEP. As a result, all such Awards are subject to the requirements of Section 12 of the PEP.
Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan is subject to recovery by the Company pursuant to Section 21.5 of the PEP.
By signing below, the undersigned officer of PNM Resources, Inc. hereby certifies that the PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as set forth above, was approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of PNM Resources, Inc. at its meeting on February 26, 2014.

Relative TSR 3

If the Company’s Relative TSR for the Performance Period places it in the Threshold, Target or Maximum Level range shown to the right, the officer will be entitled to receive 60% of the Threshold, Target or Maximum Award as determined in accordance with the Award Opportunity Table.
Greater than the 35th percentile but not greater than the 50th percentile.
Greater than the 50th percentile but not greater than the 95th percentile.
Greater than the 95th percentile.
FFO/Debt Ratio 4

If the Company’s FFO/Debt Ratio on the last day of the Performance Period places it in the Threshold, Target or Maximum Level range for the Performance Period, the officer will be entitled to receive 40% of the Threshold, Target or Maximum Award as determined in accordance with the Award Opportunity Table.
At least 17.5% but less than 19.0%
At least 19.0% but less than 21.0%

At least 21.0%




___________________________________________  
1 If the Company’s Relative TSR or FFO/Debt Ratio falls between two Award levels ( e.g. , the Threshold Level and the Target Level shown in the Performance Goal Table), the number of Performance Shares to which an officer is entitled will be interpolated between the two Award levels in accordance with uniform procedures prescribed by the Committee.
2 In no event will an officer receive more than the Maximum Award for an officer of his or her level as listed in the Award Opportunity Table.
3 The “Relative TSR” Goal refers to the Company’s “Total Shareholder Return” for the Performance Period (expressed as a percentage of the “Beginning Stock Price,” as defined below) as compared to the “Total Shareholder Return” of the other utilities included in the S & P 400 Mid-Cap Utility Index. For this purpose, the Total Shareholder Return of the Company and the other utilities included in the Index will be determined by adding any dividends paid by the Company (or such other utilities) to the appreciation in the value of the Company’s Stock (or the other utilities’ common stock). The appreciation shall be measured by comparing the “Beginning Stock Price” and “Ending Stock Price.” The “Beginning Stock Price” is the average closing price of the Company’s Stock (or the common stock of the other utilities) on the 20 trading days immediately preceding the first day of the Performance Period. The “Ending Stock Price” is the average closing price of the Company’s Stock (or the common stock of the other utilities) on the last 20 trading days of the Performance Period.
4 Equals PNMR’s funds from operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, divided by PNMR’s total debt outstanding (including any long-term leases and unfunded pension plan obligations) as of December 31, 2016. Funds from operations are equal to the amount of PNMR’s net cash flow from operating activities (as reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for PNM Resources adjusted by the following items: (1) adding amounts received by PNMR as principal payments on the Palo Verde lessor notes, (2) including amounts attributable to principal payments on imputed debt from long-term leases, (3) excluding changes in PNMR’s working capital, including bad debt expense, (4) excluding the impacts of the Valencia Energy Facility consolidation, (5) subtracting the amount of capitalized interest, and (6) excluding any contributions to the PNMR or TNMP qualified pension plans. The calculation is consistent with Moody’s calculation of FFO/Debt.

Pursuant to the License Extensions, (i) Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-41 (Unit 1) expires at midnight on June 1, 2045; (ii) Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-51 (Unit 2) expires at midnight on April 24, 2046; and (iii) Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-74 (Unit 3) expires at midnight on November 25, 2047




(collectively, the “Extended License”). The latest expiration date of the original licenses previously had been November 25, 2027.

2.4.
Pursuant to Section 35.7 of the Participation Agreement, the latest termination date of the Participation Agreement currently is December 31, 2027, which does not include the License Extensions.

2.5
Section 8A.4.4 of the Participation Agreement currently requires each Participant to accumulate Termination Funds over “the remaining license term (as specified in the original license issued for each Generating Unit . . . .” (emphasis added)

2.6.
Arizona, PNM and El Paso (in Texas, not New Mexico) have already included in their cost of service the amounts for contributions to their decommissioning trust that reflect the Extended License (“60 Year Termination Funding Curves”), rather than the Original License (“40 Year Termination Funding Curves”), and collect from their respective ratepayers on that basis.

2.7
The Termination Funding Committee currently uses the 40 Year Termination Funding Curves to measure compliance of the Participants with the termination funding requirements set forth in the Participation Agreement and the Termination Funding Committee Manual. Therefore, the ability of Arizona, PNM and El Paso to meet their termination funding obligations is adversely impacted by the reduced recovery from their ratepayers under the 60 Year Termination Funding Curves, and their continuing obligation to maintain their Termination Funds at the higher levels required by the 40 Year Termination Funding Curves.

2.8
On June 18, 2012, the Termination Funding Committee held its annual meeting to submit its Annual Funding Status Reports and to resolve the foregoing termination funding curve issues. At the meeting, the Termination Funding Committee resolved, upon proper motion, that the 60 Year Termination Funding Curves were technically correct, and conditionally adopted the 60 Year Termination Funding Curves subject to the Administrative Committee’s extension of the Participation Agreement term.

2.9
On October 19, 2012, the Administrative Committee unanimously voted to adopt this Amendment Number 16.

3.     AGREEMENT:

For and in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of and undertakings by the Parties as hereinafter provided in this Amendment Number 16 to the Participation Agreement, the Parties agree as set forth below.

5.     DEFINED TERMS:

6.
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARIZONA NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT MADE BY THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER 16:

6.1.
Amend Section 8A.4.4, by deleting the strikethrough text and substituting therefore the underlined text:

of the Participants and other elements as may be appropriate to provide reasonable assurance that each Participant will accumulate in its Termination Fund(s) over the then-applicable remaining license term for each Generating Unit (as specified in the original license issued for each Generating Unit authorizing fuel load and low power operation of such unit) sufficient funds to pay such Participant's share of the most current estimate of the Termination Costs of such unit ) ] that will be used by the committee to determine whether or not the periodic deposits made by each Participant in its Termination Fund(s) have been adequate and the accumulations in its Termination Funds will be adequate to meet the requirements of Section 8A.7.2.3 hereof and to comply with applicable laws. At least once every three years the Termination Funding Committee shall review such criteria and standards and make such adjustments thereto as are warranted by the circumstances then existing or as may be required by applicable law. Additionally, the Termination Funding Committee shall establish the format, content and time for submission of the funding status reports and certificates that Participants are required to submit pursuant to Section 8A.7.2.4 hereof.”

6.2.
Amend Section 35.7, by deleting the strikethrough text and substituting therefore the underlined text:

“This Participation Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the longest operating license period authorized by the NRC (or any governmental agency that is a successor to the NRC) for Palo Verde Station December 31, 2027 , or (ii) the date on which all Generating Units shall have been permanently removed from service and all Termination Work in respect of all Generating/Terminated Units has been completed; provided, however, that . . .”

c/o Cypress Financial Corporation

Attention of Mr. Peter E. Metzner


Re: Purchase of Two (2) Owner Participant Interests:

(i) all of the Owner Participant Interest (“Interest 136”) owned by Cypress Verde LLC (“CVLLC”) in a 1.36% undivided ownership interest in Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (“PVNGS”) Unit 2 (and related interests in certain PVNGS common facilities and real property) leased to Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”); and

(i) all of the Owner Participant Interest (“Interest 113”) owned by Cypress Second PV Partnership (“CSPVP”) in a 1.1333333% undivided ownership interest in PVNGS Unit 2 (and related interests in certain PVNGS common facilities and real property) leased to PNM.


Dear Mr. Metzner:

1. (a) We refer to (x) the Participation Agreement dated as of August 12, 1986, as amended, to which PNM and CVLLC (successor in interest by assignment), among others are party (“Participation Agreement 136”), with respect to Interest 136 and the lease thereof to PNM, and (y) the Participation Agreement dated as of August 12, 1986, as amended, to which PNM and CSPVP (successor in interest by assignment), among others are party (“Participation Agreement 113”), with respect to Interest 113 and the lease thereof to PNM. Generally, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified in Appendix A to each of Participation Agreement 136 and Participation Agreement 113 (collectively, the “Participation Agreements”) except that,

1
Letter Agreement dated May 1, 2014



where use of a defined term is preceded by either “136” or “113”, use of such defined term will bear the meaning specified in Appendix A to Participation Agreement 136 or in Appendix A to Participation Agreement 113, as applicable. Thus, the term “136 Undivided Interest” shall mean the Undivided Interest as such term is defined in Appendix A to Participation Agreement 136, and the term “113 Transaction Documents” shall mean the Transaction Documents as such term is defined in Appendix A to Participation Agreement 113. “Development” shall mean PNMR Development and Management Corporation, a New Mexico corporation. Each of Development and the Lessee is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc., a New Mexico corporation (“Resources”).
 
(b) While this letter of intent (this “Letter”) is not a binding agreement (except as provided in item 13 below), it outlines the preliminary terms of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Transactions”). This Letter is intended to serve as an outline of the proposed principal terms and conditions regarding the Transactions, and is subject to (i) the execution and delivery of Purchase Documentation (as defined in item 4(a) below) among the parties to this Letter, and, (ii) in the case of Development, approval by its Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Resources. The parties recognize that there are other terms and conditions that have yet to be addressed, but the parties agree to work together in good faith to address these issues and to complete Purchase Documentation that is acceptable to the parties as quickly as is reasonably practicable.

2. By letter dated January 13, 2014, the Lessee provided notice of its irrevocable election to purchase (the “Notice of Option Exercise”) the subject Undivided Interest and Real Property Interest (the “Option Property”) pursuant to Section 13(a) of each Facility Lease. Following delivery of each Notice of Option Exercise, Section 13(a) of each Facility Lease requires that the Lessee and the Owner Participant promptly agree upon the Fair Market Sale Value (“FMSV”) of the Option Property under such Facility Lease to be paid by the Lessee on January 15, 2016 (the “Option Exercise Date”), following the expiration of the Basic Lease Term on January 15, 2016. The equity portion of scheduled Basic Rent under such Facility Lease that would otherwise be payable for the Final Rent Payment Date has been addressed as hereinafter described.

3. This Letter serves to memorialize the binding agreement of the Lessee, on the one hand, and CVLLC and CSPVP, on the other hand (collectively, the “Cypress Parties”)with respect to the FMSV of the Option Property to be paid by the Lessee on the Option Exercise Date in connection with consummating the Lessee’s irrevocable Purchase Option contemplated by Section 13(b) of each Facility Lease (collectively, the “Option Transactions” and, individually, an “Option Transaction”) and, in accordance with the requirements of Section 13(a) of each Facility Lease, the Lessee and the applicable Owner Participant have agreed that the FMSV of:


2
Letter Agreement dated May 1, 2014



(i) the 136 Undivided Interest to be purchased on the Option Exercise Date is $46,433,631.73 and the 136 Real Property Interest to be purchased on the Option Exercise Date is $19,701.60, for a total of $46,453,333.33 (the “136 Option Purchase Price”), and

(ii) the 113 Undivided Interest to be purchased on the Option Exercise Date is $38,694,579.76 and the 113 Real Property Interest to be purchased on the Option Exercise Date is $16,417.50, for a total of $38,710,997.26 (the “113 Option Purchase Price”).

The Lessee and the Cypress Parties acknowledge and agree that the equity portion of the installment of Basic Rent otherwise payable under each Facility Lease on the Option Exercise Date has not been included in the 136 Option Purchase Price or the 113 Option Purchase Price, and such equity portion of the installment of Basic Rent (being $694,926.00 for Interest 136 and $553,708.00 for Interest 113) will be due and payable on the Option Exercise Date in accordance with the Transaction Documents in addition to the 136 Option Purchase Price and the 113 Option Purchase Price, as applicable, all of the foregoing being payable in immediately available funds on the Option Exercise Date. The purchase and sale of the Option Properties shall be consummated on the Option Exercise Date as required by the Transaction Documents if the Purchase Transactions described in item 4 below shall not have been consummated prior thereto. The obligations of the Lessee detailed in this item 3 are effective for all purposes of the Transaction Documents without need for confirmation or further action of any sort by the Board of Directors of the Lessee.

4. (a) The Cypress Parties and Development (collectively, the “Purchase Parties”) have reached a mutual intent (subject to completion of mutually satisfactory purchase documentation (the “Purchase Documentation”) as described in item 5(a)(i) below) with respect to the sale and purchase (collectively, the “Purchase Transactions” and, individually, a “Purchase Transaction”) by Development of

(i) the Interest 136 including all right title and interest of CVLLC in, to and under the 136 Transaction Documents, but excluding, however, all Excepted Payments (other than the equity portion of basic rent and payments of Supplemental Rent otherwise specifically addressed in this Letter) from CVLLC, and

(ii) the Interest 113 including all right, title and interest of CSPVP in, to and under the 113 Transaction Documents, but excluding, however, all Excepted Payments (other than the equity portion of basic rent and payments of Supplemental Rent otherwise specifically addressed in this Letter) from CSPVP

on the Business Day mutually agreeable to the Purchase Parties (the “Early Purchase Date”), provided that the Early Purchase Date shall not be earlier than June 1, 2014 nor

3
Letter Agreement dated May 1, 2014



later than January 14, 2016. The transfer by CVLLC and CSPVP, respectively, of its right, title and interest in and to Interest 136 and Interest 113 shall be:

(i) free and clear of any and all

(x) Owner Participant's Liens and

(y) Claims by any Person arising by, through or under any act or omission of CVLLC and CSPVP or any of their respective Affiliates that are Claims based in whole or in part on indebtedness (excluding the 136 Transaction Documents or the 113 Transaction Documents (as applicable), and whether secured or unsecured and recourse or non-recourse), remarketing rights, residual sharing arrangements or guarantees, options, servicing or administration rights, management contracts or other right or entitlement similar to the foregoing “Specified Claims”); and

(ii) pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to the Purchase Parties,

but otherwise without recourse, representation or warranty.

(b) The purchase price for Interest 136 (the “136 Early Purchase Price”) shall be the amount shown in the Early Purchase Schedule attached hereto (the “Early Purchase Schedule”) under the caption “Interest 136 Purchase Price” for the Early Purchase Date. The 136 Early Purchase Price shall be allocated as follows:

(i) $19,701.60 as the purchase price for the 136 Real Property Interest (the “136 RPI Purchase Price”); and

(ii) an amount equal to excess of the 136 Purchase Price over the 136 RPI Purchase Price as the purchase price for the 136 Undivided Interest.

(c) The purchase price for Interest 113 (the “113 Early Purchase Price”) shall be the amount shown in the Early Purchase Schedule under the caption “Interest 113 Purchase Price” for the Early Purchase Date. The 113 Early Purchase Price shall be allocated as follows:

(i) $16,417.50 as the purchase price for the 113 Real Property Interest (the “113 RPI Purchase Price”); and

(ii) an amount equal to excess of the 113 Purchase Price over the 113 RPI Purchase Price as the purchase price for the 113 Undivided Interest.

    

4
Letter Agreement dated May 1, 2014



(d) If the Early Purchase Date shall be a Rent Payment Date, the equity portion of Basic Rent due to the Cypress Parties in respect of such interest due on such Rent Payment Date as provided in the 113 Transaction Documents and the 136 Transaction Documents, as applicable, has been included in the 113 Early Purchase Price and the 136 Early Purchase Price applicable for such Early Purchase Date. If the Early Purchase Date shall not be a Rent Payment Date, the 113 Early Purchase Price and the 136 Early Purchase Price each include an amount agreed by the Purchase Parties in lieu of the equity portion of Basic Rent otherwise due to the Cypress Parties in respect of the period following the Rent Payment Date next preceding the Early Purchase Date through the end of the Basic Lease Term. Any Basic Rent due and payable prior to an Early Purchase Date shall be paid in accordance with the Transaction Documents. The 113 Early Purchase Price and the 136 Early Purchase Price shall be payable in immediately available funds on the Early Purchase Date.

5. (a) Development, on the one hand, and the Cypress Parties, on the other hand, further acknowledge and agree in good faith to:

(i) enter into definitive Purchase Documentation (including a purchase and sale agreement, assignment and assumption agreement, bill of sale and/or such other documentation as appropriate to effectuate the Purchase Transactions) or, in lieu of consummation of the Purchase Transactions, to consummate the Option Transactions as contemplated by each Notice of Option Exercise (separate but substantially identical Purchase Documentation shall be prepared for each of the Interest 136 and the Interest 113), including without limitation an (x) assignment and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to the parties in connection with the Purchase Transactions and (y) other documents contemplated to effect a Transfer of the Option Property; and

(ii) cooperate with respect to actions to be undertaken by the Lessee with respect to regulatory matters, including seeking necessary FERC approvals with respect to consummation of the Option Transactions.

The Purchase Documentation shall contain reasonable and customary terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the 113 Transaction Documents and the 136 Transaction Documents, as applicable. Development will provide the initial draft of the Purchase Documentation.

(b) Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of any Purchase Documentation, each Notice of Option Exercise shall remain irrevocable in accordance with its terms and the applicable Facility Lease, and the failure of the Lessee to obtain any required consent or approval shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligation to purchase each Option Property on the Option Exercise Date; provided, that, in accordance with Section 13(a) of such Facility Lease, the Lessee’s irrevocable Notice of Option Exercise shall not be binding on the Lessor (or the Owner Participant) if an Event of Default shall have

5
Letter Agreement dated May 1, 2014



occurred under such Facility Lease and be continuing or an Event of Loss or a Deemed Event of Loss shall have occurred under such Facility Lease.

6. This Letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. This Letter shall be effective as of the date hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Letter by telecopy or portable document format (“PDF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Letter. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the terms of the Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein shall be interpreted or construed to limit or otherwise waive the rights or obligations of the parties set forth therein.

7. (a) CVLLC and CSPVP shall be solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by them in connection with the execution and delivery of Purchase Documentation, including fees and expenses of CVLLC and CSPVP (and their respective Affiliates) and their respective counsel.

(b) Development shall be responsible for:

(i) all fees and expenses incurred by PNM or by Development in connection with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Documentation contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of counsel to PNM and Development; and

(ii) all Taxes imposed upon or arising from the transfer to the Lessee of Interest 113 or Interest 136 (including, without limitation, any Taxes that would otherwise be excluded by Participation Agreement Section 13(b)(2)(iv) from the Lessee's General Tax Indemnity pursuant to Section 13(b) thereof).

(c) In addition, Development shall be solely responsible for:

(i) the fees and expenses relating to

(A) all filings, including fees and expenses relating to the recordation of PNM’s interest in the property being acquired pursuant to the Purchase Documentation, as advised by PNM’s counsel, and

(B) any third party consents required in connection with the Purchase Documentation; and

(ii) the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, their respective counsel) in connection with the Transaction Documentation and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(x) of its authority to execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under the Purchase Documentation, and

(y) that the transfer of the Option Interests, or the Interest 113 and the Interest 136, are free and clear of Owner Participant's Liens and Specified Claims; and

(ii) with respect only to a purchase of Interest 113 or Interest 136, each Cypress fund that is a recipient of a portion of any purchase price funds (including funds paid directly or indirectly paid to a fund to discharge direct or indirect indebtedness of such fund) shall

1   Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes a pre-tax loss of $12.2 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances at PNM. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.29.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2   Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a pre-tax loss of $21.4 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances at PNM and TNMP. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 3.42. In addition, 2011 includes a pre-tax gain on the sale of First Choice of $174.9 million. If that gain were also excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 1.96.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3  The shortfall in the earnings available for fixed charges to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.00 amounted to $66.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest includes a pre-tax loss of $188.2 million due to the impairment of PNMR's investment in an equity investee. If that loss were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 1.90.
