Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Administrator and Participants of PNM Resources, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the PNM Resources, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4(i)-Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2010, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

PNM Resources, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
December 31, 2010 and 2009
 

(1)   Plan Description
 
The following description of the PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR” or the “Company”) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only.  More complete information regarding the Plan’s provisions may be found in the Plan document.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company covering all employees of the Company and adopting affiliates who meet the eligibility requirements as defined by the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  The Plan is administered by the PNMR Benefits Governance Committee (the “Committee”).  The PNMR Corporate Investment Committee has the authority regarding investment oversight for the Plan.  The PNMR Services Company Benefits Department also has responsibility for certain aspects of Plan administration.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan added various same-sex spouse benefits.  In 2010, the Plan made various amendments to comply with the Heroes Earning Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008.

Eligibility

Employees of the Company and its participating affiliates may participate in the employee deferred portions of the Plan as of the first payroll period after the employee enrolls.  An employee becomes eligible to participate in the Company contributions portion of the Plan as of the first day of the payroll period after the employee completes three months of continuous service with the Company or its participating affiliates.

Employees of the Company and its participating affiliates who do not voluntarily elect to enroll in the employee deferred contributions portion of the Plan will be automatically enrolled in the employee deferred contributions portion of the Plan on the first day of the first payroll period after the employee has received notice of automatic enrollment and has been given a reasonable period in which to make an election.  If an employee does not want to be automatically enrolled in the employee deferred contributions portion of the plan, the employee must affirmatively elect not to participate.

Contributions and Vesting

Eligible employees may contribute between 1% and 100% of compensation as defined by the Plan, limited by requirements of the IRC.  For 2010, the maximum allowable pre-tax or Roth contribution was $16,500.  The Plan also allows participants attaining the age of 50 or older by the end of the calendar year to make catch-up contributions in accordance with Section 414(v) of the IRC.  The maximum catch-up contribution, either pre-tax or Roth, for 2010 was $5,500.

If an employee is automatically enrolled in the Plan, the Company and its participating affiliates will automatically withhold 3% of the participant’s compensation each payroll period and contribute that amount on a before-tax basis to the participant’s account in the Plan.  All participants’ before-tax contributions will be automatically increased by 1% on the first pay date each June until the participant reaches the greater of (1) 100% of available eligible earnings or (2) the maximum amount of before-tax contributions permitted by the IRC unless a participant affirmatively elects to not have the participant’s contributions increased.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
December 31, 2010 and 2009
 


The Company provides a matching contribution of 75% of the participant’s contributions up to 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation (maximum Company matching contribution of 4.5%).  The Company also makes a contribution based on the participant’s age as follows:

Under 40 years of age
3%
40 - 44 years of age
5%
45 - 49 years of age
6%
50 - 54 years of age
8%
55 years of age or older
10%

The retirement benefit provided by this Plan is dependent upon the contributions made by the employee, and Company match, the Company’s age based contribution described in the table and the rate of return on the investments.  Should an employee not participate in the matching contributions, a retirement benefit will be derived exclusively from the age based contribution made by the Company.  Should an employee take full advantage of the matching portions by contributing 6%, a retirement contribution ranging from 13.5% to 20.5% can be accrued each year along with any investment gain or loss.

Participants are fully vested in their contributions and earnings (losses) thereon.  In addition, participants are vested in the Company’s contributions to the participant’s Plan account as soon as they are made.

Benefits

Upon termination of service for any reason, a participant may elect to receive benefits via a distribution in a lump sum, take installment distributions not to exceed a period longer than his or her life expectancy, direct a rollover of the account balance to another qualified plan or individual retirement account or leave the account in the Plan if the balance is $1,000 or greater.

Participant Accounts

Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan’s participants to reflect the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions and the participant’s share of the Plan’s income and expenses.  Allocations are based on participant account balances, as defined in the Plan document.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

Investment Options

Participants allocate their contributions among various investment options.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum aggregate equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance.  Amortization periods may not exceed five years, except for loans for the purchase of a primary residence, which may be repaid over a longer period of time as determined by the Committee.  All loans shall be repaid with a substantially level amortization of both principal and interest in a schedule prescribed by the Committee with payments made at least quarterly.  Any loan is secured by 50% of the balance in the participant’s account and bears interest at a rate commensurate with the interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans which would be made under similar circumstances, as determined by the Committee.  Outstanding loans at December 31, 2010 have interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 10.75% and mature through April 2020.

Transfers

In early 2007, PNM Resources, Inc. and ECJV Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cascade Investment, L.L.C., formed EnergyCo, LLC. In February 2009, the name of EnergyCo, LLC was changed to Optim Energy, LLC (“Optim Energy”).  PNMR and ECJV each have a 50 percent ownership interest in Optim

Energy.  A separate defined contribution plan was established to provide benefits for employees of Optim Energy.  This defined contribution plan was originally named EnergyCo, LLC 401(k) Plan and was changed to Optim Energy, LLC 401(k) Plan in February 2009.  During 2010, Plan assets related to former PNMR employees were transferred to the Optim Energy, LLC 401(k) Plan in the amount of $49,002 and the Plan received no transfers in from the Optim Energy, LLC 401(k) Plan

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex­-dividend date.  Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income. The net appreciation in fair value of investments includes both realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Investment Valuation

Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value.  See Note 7.  Investments in registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.  Units in the collective investment trust (“CIT”) are based upon the CIT’s target net asset value of $1 per share at year-end.  The Company stock fund is valued at its year-end unit closing price.  Purchases and sales are reflected on a trade-date basis.

 The CIT is a stable value fund that seeks to provide current and stable income while maintaining a value of $1 per share.  The CIT provides for the collective investment of assets of tax-exempt pension and profit sharing plans, primarily in a pool of investment contracts that are issued by insurance companies and commercial banks and in contracts that are backed by bond trusts.  Contract value represents contributions made to the CIT, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals.  Participants do not have a beneficial ownership in specific underlying securities in the CIT, but have an interest therein represented by units valued as of the last business day of the period.

Notes Receivable from Participants

In September 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance clarifying the classification and measurement of participant loans by defined contribution plans.  Participant loans are required to be classified as notes receivable from participants (rather than investments) and measured at their unpaid principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest at the end of the period.  The Plan has reflected this guidance in its December 31, 2010 financial statements and has reclassified participant loans of $9,812,890 as of December 31, 2009 from investments to notes receivable from participants.  The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits was not affected by the adoption of this guidance.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Administrative Expenses

The Company and participants share in the administrative expenses of the plan, except for the administrative costs of the investment funds and loan processing fees that are all paid by the participants.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Fully Benefit-Responsive Collective Investment Trust

Under GAAP, investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to direct or indirect investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.  The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the CIT at fair value and an adjustment to contract value.  The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Subsequent Events

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 Plan has evaluated subsequent events as required by GAAP.

(3)   Investments

The fair values of individual investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan’s net assets at year end are as follows:

(4)   Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated December 31, 2009, that the Plan and the related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC.  The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

GAAP requires the Plan to evaluate tax positions and recognize tax assets (liabilities) for uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan has no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for reporting years prior to December 31, 2006.
 
(5)   Party-in-Interest

The Plan presently holds shares of the Company’s stock.  Participants are allowed to invest their accounts in the PNMR Common Stock Fund.  In addition, the Plan invests in shares of investment funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“VFTC”).  VFTC acts as the Trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan.  Transactions in these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

(6)  Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any interest to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their account balances remaining after the final allocation of expenses and fund profits or losses.

(7)  Fair Value Disclosures
 
GAAP defines fair value as the exchange 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 Plan to the extent quoted market prices are not available.
 
The Plan determines the fair values of its investments based on the fair value 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.  The Plan’s Level 2 investments are comprised of units of ownership in the CIT.  Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment in the CIT at contract value.  Generally, the CIT allows for transfers to funds with similar investment horizons once every 90 days.  Direct transfers from the CIT to short-term funds are permitted only during January of each year.  A portion of the CIT represents fully benefit-responsive investments in traditional and alternative investment contracts.  Fair values for traditional investment contracts are based on the expected future cash flows of each contract discounted to present value.  Fair values for alternative investment contracts are based on the aggregate market values of the underlying investments.  The Plan has no Level 3 investments.  In addition, the Plan had no transfers between levels during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Accounting Standard Update 2010-06 -- Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

The FASB released amended guidance related to disclosures of fair value measurements.  The update requires entities to enhance disclosures about fair value measurements in fiscal years 2010 and 2011.  The enhanced disclosures related to 2010 are reflected in these financial statements.  In 2011, the Plan is required to disclose information about the purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for items in Level 3 of the fair value measurements on a gross basis rather than net.  The Plan will comply with this requirement in 2011.
