This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (Registration
No. 333-61598) shall become effective upon filing in accordance with Rule 464
under the Securities Act of 1933.
================================================================================
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This post-effective amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under
the Securities Act of 1933 to reflect the adoption by the Public Service Company
of New Mexico, a New Mexico corporation ("PNM"), of a holding company form of
organizational structure.
The holding company reorganization was effected pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the "Plan of Exchange") between PNM and
PNM Resources, Inc., a New Mexico corporation formerly known as Manzano
Corporation ("PNM Resources"). The Plan of Exchange provides for, among other
things, a share exchange pursuant to which all shares of PNM common stock were
exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock of PNM Resources
(the "Share Exchange"). The shareholders of PNM approved the share exchange on
June 6, 2000. As a result of the Share Exchange, which was completed on December
31, 2001, PNM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNM Resources.
In connection with the Share Exchange, shares of PNM common stock held
by the Public Service Company of New Mexico Master Employee Savings Plan and
Trust (the "Plan") were converted into an equivalent number of shares of PNM
Resources common stock. Following the Share Exchange, PNM will continue to
sponsor the Plan. The PNM stock fund investment option under the Plan will,
however, hold shares of PNM Resources common stock and cash, rather than shares
of PNM common stock and cash.
In accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, PNM
Resources, as the successor issuer to PNM, hereby expressly adopts this
registration statement No. 333-61598 on Form S-8 for the Plan as its own for all
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
effective upon the effectiveness of the Share Exchange.
The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original
filing of this registration statement by PNM.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 6 of Article II of PNM Resources's By-Laws contains the
following provisions with respect to indemnification of directors and officers:
Each person serving as a director or an officer of the Corporation, or,
at the request of the Corporation, as a director or an officer of any
other company in which the Corporation has a financial interest and
regardless of whether or not the person is then in office, and the
heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the
person, shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent of
the authority of the Corporation to so indemnify as authorized by New
Mexico law.
Section 53-11-4.1 of the Business Corporation Act of the State of
New Mexico provides that a corporation shall have power to indemnify any person
made (or threatened to be made) a party to any proceeding (whether threatened,
pending or completed) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director
(or, while a director, is or was serving in any of certain other capacities) if:
(1) the person acted in good faith; (2) the person reasonably believed: (a) in
the case of conduct in the person's official capacity with the corporation, that
the person's conduct was in its best interests; and (b) in all other cases, that
the person's conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (3) in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to
believe the person's conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may be made against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, but may be limited or
unavailable with respect to certain proceedings. In some instances,
indemnification of a director may be mandatory or, upon the application of a
director, may be ordered by a court. Reasonable expenses incurred by a director
may, under certain circumstances, be paid or reimbursed in advance of a final
disposition of a proceeding. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a
corporation may (or, as the case may be, shall) indemnify and advance expenses
to an officer of the corporation to the same extent as to a director under
Section 53-11-4.1. Also, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a
corporation has (1) the power to indemnify and to advance expenses to an
employee or agent of the corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify
and advance expenses to directors under the statute and (2) additional power to
indemnify and to advance reasonable expenses to an officer, employee or agent
who is not a director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be
provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of
its Board of Directors, or contract.
Section 53-11-4.1 was amended in 1987 to provide that the
indemnification authorized thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any
rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the articles
of incorporation, the by-laws, an agreement, a resolution of shareholders or
directors or otherwise.
Insurance is maintained on a regular basis (and not specifically
in connection with this offering) against liabilities arising on the part of
directors and officers out of their performance in such capacities or arising on
the part of PNM Resources out of its foregoing indemnification provisions,
subject to certain exclusions and to the policy limits.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
See Exhibit Index.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers of sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply
if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES

1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Albuquerque, State of New Mexico, on December
31, 2001.
