                                   FORM U-3A-2

                 Statement by Holding Company Claiming Exemption
                  Under Rule U-3A-2 from the Provisions of the
                   Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935

                      To Be Filed Annually Prior to March 1

                               PNM RESOURCES, INC.


          PNM Resources, Inc. ("PNM Resources") hereby files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), pursuant to Rule 2, its statement
claiming exemption as a holding company from the provisions of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the "Act"), and submits the following
information:

          1. Name, State of organization, location and nature of business of
claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other than any exempt wholesale generator
("EWG") or foreign utility company in which claimant directly or indirectly
holds an interest.

          PNM Resources is a holding company organized under the laws of the
State of New Mexico. Upon the completion of a one-for-one share exchange between
Public Service Company of New Mexico, a New Mexico corporation ("PNM"), and PNM
Resources on December 31, 2001, PNM Resources became the parent of PNM. PNM is a
public utility company as defined under Section 2(a)(5) of the Act. PNM
Resources is also the parent of certain non-utility subsidiaries, most of which
were formerly owned, directly or indirectly, by PNM, as identified in the table
below. PNM Resources has its principal offices at Alvarado Square, Albuquerque,
New Mexico 87158.


                               ACTIVE SUBSIDIARIES

                                       PNM

          PNM Resources owns all of the issued and outstanding voting securities
of PNM, a public utility incorporated in 1917 under the laws of the State of New
Mexico with principal offices at Alvarado Square, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87158.
PNM is a public utility primarily engaged in the generation, transmission,
distribution and sale of electricity and the transmission, distribution and sale
of natural gas.


                                       1



          The total population of the area served by one or more of PNM's
utility services is estimated to be approximately 1.3 million, of which some 57%
live in the greater Albuquerque area.

                                     Avistar

          PNM Resources owns all of the issued and outstanding voting securities
of Avistar, Inc., a New Mexico corporation ("Avistar"). Avistar's principal
offices are at Alvarado Square, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87158. Avistar is
currently engaged in certain non-utility businesses. Avistar has an investment
in Nth Power Technologies, a venture capital firm focused on high growth
opportunities arising from restructuring of the global energy marketplace. Nth
Power Technologies has invested in a broad range of companies that include
distributed generation and storage, communications, control and information
technology, end-use products, power quality, transmission and distribution
automation, and outsourcing and business services.

                   Eastern Interconnect Project Lease Interest

          On December 20, 2002, PNM Resources acquired the beneficial ownership
of the trust which relates to one of the two leases of a transmission line
connecting the PNM system with the Texas electrical grid to the east. This is a
common law trust which holds legal title to the leased 60% interest, a trust
with no outstanding securities of any sort and no officers, directors or persons
performing similar executive or management functions. PNM Resources paid $6.75
million in cash and assumed $26 million in long-term debt to acquire the
beneficial ownership of the trust which relates to a lease of a majority of the
Eastern Interconnection Project ("EIP") line. PNM operates the line under the
terms of the lease agreement. PNM Resources reports the $26 million of debt on
its balance sheet, and PNM reports the present value of the remaining 40%
interest of the EIP operating lease as off balance sheet debt. Acquiring the
beneficial ownership will allow PNM to buy back legal title to 60% of the EIP,
retire the underlying bonds, reducing net lease payments and the amount of the
company's off-balance sheet debt, and collapse the lease in the second quarter
of 2003. The 216-mile-long EIP runs from near Albuquerque to the Texas-New
Mexico border. The 345-kilovolt line has a capacity of 200 megawatts.

                            EIP Refunding Corporation

          On February 24, 2003, PNM Resources acquired 100% of the outstanding
common stock of EIP Refunding Corporation for $1,000. EIP Refunding Corporation
is a special purpose corporation authorized to hold notes receivable from two
trusts and issue publicly traded bonds in a corresponding amount. PNM Resources
acquired EIP Refunding Corporation to effectuate the retirement of the EIP
Secured Facility Bonds.

          2. A brief description of the properties of claimant and each of its
subsidiary public utility companies used for the generation, transmission, and
distribution of electric energy for sale, or for the production, transmission,
and distribution of natural or manufactured gas, indicating the location of
principal generating plants, transmission lines, producing fields, gas
manufacturing plants, and electric and gas distribution facilities, including
all such properties which are outside



                                       5


the State in which claimant and its subsidiaries are organized and all
transmission or pipelines which deliver or receive electric energy or gas at the
borders of such State.

          PNM Resources does not own directly any utility properties or perform
any utility operations. As described above, PNM Resources has acquired the
beneficial ownership in a trust which holds 60% of the EIP transmission line.
PNM Resources' operating subsidiary is PNM and is described in detail below.

          PNM provides retail electric service to a large area of north central
New Mexico, including the cities of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Las
Vegas, Belen and Bernalillo. PNM also provides retail electric service to Deming
in southwestern New Mexico and to Clayton in northeastern New Mexico. As of
December 31, 2002, PNM served approximately 388,000 retail electric customers,
the largest of which accounted for approximately 4.7% of PNM's total retail
electric revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002.

          PNM owns or leases and operates facilities for the generation and
transmission of electric energy. PNM's transmission facilities consist primarily
of 345 kV, 230 kV and 115 kV transmission lines extending through much of the
State of New Mexico. PNM also owns partial interests in certain 500 kV and 345
kV transmission lines in the State of Arizona. PNM owns or leases interests in
electric generation plants representing a total PNM net generation capacity of
1,736 MW. The facilities comprising such interests in generation include: a
nuclear plant, Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, located in Arizona; two
coal-fired plants, San Juan Generating Station and Four Corners Power Plant,
located in northwest New Mexico; two gas/oil-fired plants, Las Vegas, located in
Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Reeves, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and two
gas-fired peaking plants, Lordsburg Generating Station, in Lordsburg, New Mexico
and Afton Generating Station, located adjacent to the Afton Compression Station
of El Paso Natural Gas Company, about 12.5 miles southwest of Las Cruces, New
Mexico. The two gas-fired peaking plants were added in 2002 and began commercial
operation on June 14 and November 27, respectively. PNM also has approximately
132 MW of additional unit contingent peaking capacity through a 20-year power
purchase agreement with Delta-Person Limited Partnership, owner of a gas turbine
generating unit near Albuquerque, New Mexico. This brings PNM's total net
generating capacity, consisting of both internal and external contracted
capacity, to 1,868 MW.

          In addition to generation capacity, PNM purchases power in the
wholesale market. PNM has two power purchase agreements with Southwestern Public
Service Company: a long-term power purchase agreement (which expires in May,
2011) under which PNM presently receives 150 MW of interruptible power, and an
intermediate-term agreement (through December 2005) under which PNM receives 72
MW of firm power. PNM also has a long-term power purchase agreement (through
June 2010) with Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., under
which PNM receives 50 MW of firm power. Additionally, PNM has 70 MW of
contingent capacity it obtains from El Paso Electric Company ("EPE") under a
transmission-capacity-for-generation-capacity trade arrangement that runs
through September 2004. Beginning in October 2004 and continuing through June
2005, the contingent capacity amount under the EPE trade arrangement will be
reduced to 39 MW.


                                       6


          As of December 31, 2002, PNM owned, jointly owned or leased
approximately 2897 circuit miles of electric transmission lines, located in New
Mexico and Arizona. Included in this total is approximately 165 miles of 500 kV
transmission lines associated with PNM's interest in Palo Verde. PNM also owns
approximately 4284 miles of overhead distribution lines, 3969 miles of
underground distribution lines, and 247 energized and de-energized transformers
within switching stations and substations, all located in New Mexico.

          PNM, distributing natural gas to most of the major communities in New
Mexico, including Albuquerque and Santa Fe, served approximately 450,000 natural
gas customers as of December 31, 2002. The Albuquerque metropolitan area
accounts for approximately 50% of the total sales-service customers. PNM obtains
its supply of natural gas primarily from sources within New Mexico pursuant to
contracts with producers and marketers. These contracts are generally sufficient
to meet PNM's peak-day demand. PNM provides distribution service within certain
cities that depend on El Paso Natural Gas Company or Transwestern Pipeline
Company for transportation of the gas supplies. Because these cities are not
directly connected to PNM transmission facilities, gas transported by these
companies is the sole supply source for those cities.

          PNM's natural gas properties, as of December 31, 2002, consisted
primarily of natural gas storage, transmission and distribution systems.
Provisions for storage made by PNM include ownership and operation of an
underground storage facility located near Albuquerque, New Mexico. The
transmission systems consisted of approximately 1,600 miles of pipe with
appurtenant compression facilities. The distribution systems consisted of
approximately 11,400 miles of pipe.

          3. The following information for the last calendar year with respect
to claimant and each of its subsidiary public utility companies:
