Item 1.  Changes in Control

Sempra Energy, on June 26, 1998, acquired all of the outstanding 
Common Stock (representing approximately 99% of the outstanding 
voting securities) of Pacific Enterprises of which Southern 
California Gas Company is a subsidiary.

The acquisition was effected in connection with a business 
combination of Pacific Enterprises and Enova Corporation (the 
corporate parent of San Diego Gas & Electric Company) effected as a 
tax-free reorganization and accounted for as a pooling of interests 
for financial reporting purposes.  Sempra Energy was formed to serve 
as a holding company for the two corporations in connection with the 
combination and has not conducted any business activities other than 
those incidental to the combination.

Pacific Enterprises owns all of the 91,300,000 outstanding shares of 
Common Stock and 50,477 shares of the 862,043 outstanding shares of 
Preferred Stock of Southern California Gas Company.  The shares owned 
by Pacific Enterprises represent over 99% of the outstanding voting 
shares of Southern California Gas Company.

The Board of Directors of Sempra Energy consists of sixteen members, 
eight of whom are and were at the time of the business combination 
directors of Pacific Enterprises (including seven of the eight 
directors of Southern California Gas Company) and eight of whom are 
and were at the time of business combination directors of Enova 
Corporation (including six new directors of San Diego Gas & Electric 
Company).

Upon the completion of the business combination, the authorized 
number of directors of Southern California Gas Company was increased 
to thirteen and six additional directors were elected.  Each of the 
new directors (Ann Burr, Richard A. Collato, Daniel W. Derbes, 
William D. Jones, Ralph R. Ocampo and Thomas C. Stickel) is also a 
director of Enova Corporation.  All of the directors of Southern 
California Gas Company are also directors of Sempra Energy, other 
than Warren I. Mitchell who is Chairman and President of Southern 
California Gas Company and who, upon completion of the business 
combination, also became Chairman of San Diego Gas & Electric 
Company.  None of the directors (other than Mr. Mitchell) is an 
officer or other employee of Sempra Energy or any of its 
subsidiaries.

It is contemplated that the authorized number of directors of 
Southern California Gas Company will be further increased to fifteen 
directors upon shareholder approval of a requisite bylaw amendment 
and that two additional directors of Sempra Energy (Robert H. 
Goldsmith, who is also a director of Enova Corporation, and William 
G. Ouchi, who is also a director of Pacific Enterprises) will be 
elected as directors of Southern California Gas Company.  Upon such 
election the Board of Directors of Southern California Gas Company 
would consist of fourteen of the sixteen directors of Sempra Energy 
(including all of the directors who are not officers or other 
employees of Sempra Energy or its subsidiaries) and Mr. Mitchell.
