Item 1.      BUSINESS.

Introduction

     TNPE was  organized as a holding  company in 1983 and  currently  transacts
business  through  its  subsidiary,  TNP.  TNP is a public  utility  engaged  in
generating, purchasing,  transmitting,  distributing, and selling electricity to
customers in Texas and New Mexico.  TNP's original  predecessor was organized in
1925. TNP has two subsidiaries,  TGC and TGC II, both of which were organized to
facilitate  TNP's  acquisitions  of TNP One, Unit 1 and Unit 2 in 1990 and 1991,
respectively.

     TNPE,  TNP,  TGC, and TGC II are all Texas  corporations.  Their  executive
offices are located at 4100  International  Plaza,  P.O.  Box 2943,  Fort Worth,
Texas  76113 and their  telephone  number is (817)  731-0099.  Unless  otherwise
indicated,   all  financial  information  in  this  report  is  presented  on  a
consolidated basis.

TNP's Service Areas

     TNP provides electric service to 84 Texas and New Mexico municipalities and
adjacent rural areas with more than 213,000  customers.  TNP's service areas are
organized  into  three  operating   regions:   the  South-Western   Region,  the
North-Central Region, and the New Mexico Region.

   South-Western Region

     The  South-Western  Region  includes  the area  along the Texas  Gulf Coast
between   Houston  and  Galveston.   The  oil  and   petrochemical   industries,
agricultural  industry,  and general  commercial  activity  in the Houston  area
support the economy of this area. This region also includes the area in far west
Texas between  Midland and El Paso. The economy in this area is based  primarily
on oil and gas production, agriculture, and food processing.

   North-Central Region

     The North-Central Region extends from Lewisville,  Texas, which is north of
Dallas-Fort Worth International  Airport, to municipalities along the Red River.
TNP provides  electric  service to a variety of  commercial,  agricultural,  and
petroleum   industry   customers  in  this  area.   This  region  also  includes
municipalities and communities south and west of Fort Worth. This area's economy
depends  largely  on  agriculture  and,  to a  lesser  extent,  tourism  and oil
production.  The North-Central Region previously included service territory in a
portion of the Texas  Panhandle  that TNP sold in  September  1995.  Information
about the sale is set forth in Note 3, which is incorporated here by reference.

   New Mexico Region

     The New Mexico Region  includes  areas in southwest and  south-central  New
Mexico.   This  region's   economy  is  primarily   dependent  upon  mining  and
agriculture. Copper mines are the major industrial customers in this region.

     TNP's sales in all  regions are  primarily  to retail  customers.  Revenues
contributed  by each  operating  region and its  percentage  of total  operating
revenues in 1995, 1994, and 1993,  respectively,  are set forth in the following
table.  No single  customer  accounted  for more than 10% of operating  revenues
during the years presented in the table.

   Franchises and Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity

     TNP holds 82  franchises  with  terms  ranging  from 20 to 50 years and two
franchises with indefinite terms from the 84 municipalities to which it provides
electric  service.  These  franchises  will expire on various dates from 1996 to
2039.  Three Texas  franchises,  comprising 21% of total company  revenues,  are
scheduled to expire in 1996, 1998, and 1999. However, Texas law does not require
an electric utility to execute a franchise  agreement with a Texas  municipality
to be entitled to provide or continue to provide  electrical  service within the
municipality. A franchise agreement documents the mutually agreeable terms under
which the service will be provided.  TNP intends to negotiate and execute new or
amended franchise agreements to be effective before existing franchises expire.

     TNP also  holds  PUCT  certificates  of public  convenience  and  necessity
covering all Texas areas that TNP serves.  These certificates include terms that
are  customary  in the  public  utility  industry.  TNP  generally  has not been
required to have  certificates  of public  convenience  and necessity to provide
electric power in New Mexico.

Seasonality of Business

     TNP experiences  increased  sales and operating  revenues during the summer
months as a result of increased air conditioner  usage in hot weather.  In 1995,
approximately  40% of annual revenues were recorded in June, July,  August,  and
September.

Sources of Energy

     TNP  generates  electricity  at TNP  One.  TNP  One,  which  has  300 MW of
capacity,  provided  approximately  25% of TNP's  total firm power  requirements
during  1995.  Power  generated  at  TNP  One  is  transmitted  over  TNP's  own
transmission  lines to other  utilities'  transmission  systems for  delivery to
TNP's Texas  service area systems.  To maintain a reliable  power supply for its
customers and to coordinate  interconnected  operations,  TNP is a member of the
Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the Inland Power Pool, and the New Mexico
Power Pool.

     TNP purchases the remainder of its electricity from various  suppliers with
diversified  fuel sources.  The availability and cost of purchased energy to TNP
is subject to changes in supplier costs,  regulations and laws, fuel costs,  and
other factors.  TNP is pursuing various  opportunities to reduce purchased power
costs.

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning TNP's sources
of electric energy in 1995.

   Recovering Purchased Power and Fuel Costs

     Purchased power is recovered from TNP customers through power cost recovery
adjustment clauses authorized by the PUCT and NMPUC. These clauses enable TNP to
recover this  significant  component of operating  expenses within two months of
billing by its suppliers.

     Fuel costs are recovered  from TNP's Texas  customers  through a fixed fuel
recovery  factor  approved  by the  PUCT.  The  fixed  fuel  recovery  factor is
described at Item 7, "Pass-Through  Expenses--Fuel,"  which is incorporated here
by reference.

Government Regulation

     TNP is subject to PUCT and NMPUC regulation.  Some of its activities,  such
as issuing  securities,  are also subject to FERC regulation.  Recent regulatory
developments  are  changing  competitive  conditions  in  the  electric  utility
industry. These changes are discussed in Item 7, "Competitive Conditions," which
is incorporated here by reference.

     In addition to regulation as a utility,  TNP's  facilities are regulated by
the  EPA  and  Texas  and  New  Mexico  environmental  agencies.  TNP  One  uses
environmentally  superior  circulating  fluidized bed technology that eliminates
the  need  for  expensive  scrubbers.   TNP  was  allotted  sufficient  emission
allowances  to  comply  with the Clean Air Act of 1990  through  the year  2000.
During 1995,  1994, and 1993, TNP incurred  expenses  related to air, water, and
solid waste pollution  abatement  (including ash removal) of approximately  $5.5
million, $5.9 million, and $4.3 million, respectively.

     At December  31,  1995,  TNP had 858  employees.  TNP's  employees  are not
represented  by a  union  or  covered  by  a  collective  bargaining  agreement.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

Competitive Conditions

   Historical Condition

     Historically,  TNP has operated with little direct  competition  throughout
most of its  service  territory.  TNP is the  only  electric  utility  issued  a
certificate of public  convenience  and necessity to serve  customers in most of
its Texas service areas. In New Mexico, TNP holds exclusive franchise agreements
with  the  municipalities  and  adjacent  areas  that  it  serves.  TNP  expects
competitive conditions in the electric utility industry to change significantly,
as discussed below.

   Regulatory Changes

     Federal. In March 1995, FERC proposed  comprehensive  regulatory changes to
facilitate  development of a competitive wholesale electric power market. FERC's
notice of proposed  rulemaking,  commonly  referred to as the "Mega-NOPR,"  will
require all FERC regulated  public  utilities to offer  nondiscriminatory,  open
access  tariffs to all wholesale  sellers and  purchasers of electric  energy in
interstate commerce. Utilities that own transmission facilities will be required
to provide all wholesale  purchasers and sellers of electric energy full service
transmission  arrangements  comparable  in  quality  and  cost  to  transmission
services that the owner charges its own customers. No such requirement currently
exists.  These  utilities  will also be  required  to  provide  all  actual  and
potential transmission users access to real time information on the transmission
capabilities  of  its  network.   Currently,  this  information  is  treated  as
proprietary. FERC is expected to adopt the Mega-NOPR by mid 1996.

     FERC's  proposal stems from the Energy Policy Act of 1992, in which,  among
other  things,  Congress  authorized  FERC  to  relieve  various  discriminatory
practices in the electric utility  industry.  This  legislation  eliminated many
anticompetitive restrictions on owning and operating nonutility power producers,
or EWGs. It also mandated increased  transmission access for wholesale suppliers
in interstate commerce.

     State.  Many  states are also  considering  regulatory  changes to increase
competition in the electric utility industry and lower consumer prices. The PUCT
recently passed a wholesale  transmission access rule to lower costs for a third
party to transport electricity through a utility's transmission network.  During
1995, the PUCT considered  proposals to enable retail  customers to choose among
suppliers,  a practice  commonly  referred to as "retail  wheeling," but took no
action.  The New Mexico  legislature  has  currently  rejected  retail  wheeling
proposals. However, the NMPUC is conducting a study to determine the feasibility
of  "managed   competition,"  which  resembles  retail  wheeling.   The  largest
impediment  to retail  wheeling  centers  on how to  account  for the  potential
financial  impairment of utility  assets,  or "stranded  costs," as the industry
evolves from a regulated to a competitive environment. Generating facilities are
most at risk of impairment because they will be most exposed to competition from
an increasing  number of power  producers.  TNP believes that  transmission  and
distribution facilities are less vulnerable to impairment considerations because
they will continue to be regulated.

   Industry Response

     The  regulatory  changes  described  above are resulting in  competition in
generating and supplying  electricity and  contributing to a "buyers" market for
wholesale  power.  Electric  utilities  are  responding  by attempting to reduce
operating costs and adopting  strategies to protect current markets and identify
opportunities for customer growth.  This has been achieved through a combination
of mergers,  internal restructuring,  "unbundling of services," and the creation
of power marketers.  Services are "unbundled"  when a fully  integrated  utility
reorganizes  into  separate  companies  or  divisions,  each  specializing  in a
specific  service  such  as  generation,   transmission  and  distribution,  and
marketing.  Power  marketers  actively  search  for  buyers of excess  generated
electricity.

     Although the electric  utility  industry is evolving  into an  increasingly
competitive,  market-dominated  environment,  the transition  toward federal and
state deregulation is currently proceeding  independently and TNP cannot predict
when the transition  will be completed.  However,  the transition is expected to
result in a growing number of competing power  suppliers and declining  customer
prices.

   Impact on TNP

     The inability to recover  stranded costs could adversely  impact TNPE's and
TNP's financial  condition.  TNP is considering various  alternatives to address
its potential for stranded costs. Although final resolution and magnitude of the
issue is uncertain,  management anticipates that shareholders and customers will
share the financial burden of stranded costs.


                                    Page 11



     Assuming satisfactory  resolution of the stranded costs issue, TNP believes
that current  competitive  developments on the wholesale market  ultimately will
benefit TNP and its customers.  Because TNP purchases much of its power, TNP can
take advantage of the lower transmission prices,  additional market flexibility,
and new options in obtaining  purchased power.  TNP's  competitive  position has
been strengthened with the PUCT open access to transmission  rule. TNP currently
has no significant  wholesale power sales but expects to position itself to take
advantage  of  opportunities  to serve  additional  wholesale  customers as they
arise.  Management  believes  TNP's  revenue  growth  opportunities  are  in  an
increased  customer base and new services.  TNP established a marketing division
in December 1995 to pursue these opportunities.

     TNP believes  its market  niche is in smaller to medium sized  communities.
Only two of the 84 communities in TNP's service area have  populations in excess
of 50,000.  While some larger, fully integrated utilities are closing offices in
smaller towns and  consolidating  in major  population  centers,  TNP opened two
additional small-town offices in 1995.

Results of Operations

   Overall Results

     Earnings applicable to common stock were $40.8 million for 1995, the second
highest  earnings in TNPE's  history.  This was an increase of $59.0  million as
compared  to a loss  applicable  to  common  stock of $18.2  million  for  1994.
Management  believes the initiatives  taken in 1994 - adopting a strategic plan,
rate  settlements,  reorganization - set the framework for the earnings increase
in 1995.

     Excluding  the one-time  items  discussed  below,  1995 earnings were $19.9
million,  an $11.9 million  improvement over 1994 earnings of $8.0 million.  The
$11.9 million  improvement  resulted primarily from base revenue increases,  but
also from increased GWH sales, cost containment of operating expenses, and lower
interest charges.

     One-time items, net of taxes, in 1995 consisted of the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for unbilled revenues of $8.4 million,  gain on sale of
the Texas  Panhandle  properties of $9.5 million,  and  recognition  of deferred
revenues  related to a favorable  IRS  private  letter  ruling of $3.0  million.
One-time items, net of taxes, in 1994 consisted of the recognition of regulatory
disallowances  of  $20.5  million  and  reorganization  costs  of $5.7  million.
Additional  information concerning these one-time items is set forth in Notes 2,
3, 4, 5, and 6, which are incorporated here by reference.

     Earnings applicable to common stock before one-time items in 1994 were $2.7
million less than in 1993.  This decrease  resulted  from  increases in interest
charges and  labor/benefits  expenses partially offset by increased base revenue
and decreased income taxes.

     The following  table sets forth results of operations  for 1995,  1994, and
1993 and the impact of one-time items:

     Pass-through  items are the portion of operating revenues that recover from
customers the costs of purchased  power,  fuel, and standby  power.  These items
affect customer rates but do not affect operating  income.  Annual variances are
discussed under "Results of Operations--Operating Expenses."

     Excluding the effects of one-time items,  1995 base revenues  exceeded 1994
base revenues by $18.5 million.  The increase is primarily due to rate increases
in  both  Texas  ($17.5  million   annualized)  and  New  Mexico  ($0.4  million
annualized)  resulting  from  settlement  agreements in October and May of 1994,
respectively.  Increased  sales also  contributed to the base revenue  increase.
Sales of 6,641 GWH in 1995  represented a 2.6% improvement over prior year sales
and contributed $5.1 million to the increase in 1995 base revenues. The increase
in sales resulted from increased  consumption  by all customer  classes,  and is
attributed  to warmer  weather  and  customer  growth.  The  increases  for each
customer class are residential (2.7%), commercial (3.9%), and industrial (1.9%).
Excluding  the  reduction  in  customers  from the sale of the  Texas  Panhandle
properties, total customers increased by 2.1%.

     Base  revenues  in 1994  exceeded  the 1993  amount by $8.0  million.  This
increase is also attributable to the 1994 settlement  agreements,  as well as to
higher  customer  usage (2.9% overall KWH sales  increase) from increases in the
number of residential and commercial customers.

     In 1995,  85.7% of TNP's  revenues were  generated in Texas.  Pursuant to a
rate case settlement  approved by the PUCT in October 1994, TNP may not increase
its base  rates in Texas  prior to March 1999  except in  certain  extraordinary
circumstances.  Additional information about the settlement is set forth in Note
5. TNP  currently  has no plans to file for a rate increase in New Mexico in the
near term.

     TNP is aggressively  pursuing  arrangements with industrial  customers that
benefit both the customer and TNP.  One  industrial  customer has switched  from
self-generation  and is expected to increase annual sales by 430 GWH and provide
$2.4 million of additional base revenues  beginning in mid 1996. TNP is actively
negotiating with another major industrial  customer providing annual revenues of
$26.7  million  in 1995  ($9.4  million  in base  revenues).  This  customer  is
constructing a 300-MW  cogeneration  plant, the first phase of which is expected
to commence operations in 1998. TNP is negotiating with the customer to continue
providing  electrical services to the customer.  If TNP is successful,  revenues
from this customer are expected to be at lower profit margins.

   Operating Expenses

     Operating expenses for 1995 were $2.0 million lower than in 1994, excluding
the $8.8 million  reorganization costs in 1994. The decrease is primarily due to
lower pass-through expenses of $14.6 million and labor/benefits expenses of $1.0
million offset by increased income tax expense of $13.6 million.

     Operating expenses for 1994, excluding  reorganization costs,  decreased by
$4.8  million as  compared to 1993.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due to lower
pass-through  expenses of $4.2  million  and income tax expense of $5.5  million
partially offset by increases in labor/benefits expenses of $2.3 million.



                                    Page 13


   Pass-Through Expenses

     Pass-through  expenses consist of purchased power, fuel, and standby power.
The overall decreases are primarily due to lower costs of purchased power offset
by increased fuel expense.

    Purchased  Power.  Purchased  power in 1995 and 1994 decreased $16.1 million
and $5.6 million,  respectively,  as compared to the corresponding  prior years.
Purchases for Texas service areas were shifted to lower cost  suppliers for 1995
supplemental  summer peaking capacity.  This arrangement became effective May 1,
1995,  and is expected to result in  annualized  cost  savings of $7.0  million.
During 1995,  TNP actively  intervened in a Texas rate case of a major  supplier
and is benefiting with  annualized cost savings of $10.5 million.  Purchases for
New Mexico service areas were also shifted to lower cost suppliers beginning mid
1994 and continuing in 1995.  TNP's customers  directly  benefit from these cost
reductions as these expenses are recovered through adjustment clauses.

     Purchased power costs represent TNP's largest operating  expense.  In 1995,
TU was TNP's largest  supplier of purchased  power in Texas and is TNP's highest
price  supplier.  As  described in Note 12, TNP has notified TU of its intent to
cease purchasing full  requirements  power and energy effective January 1, 1999.
In July 1995, TNP issued  requests for proposals for purchased  power  resources
during 1996 through 2004 to replace the power currently provided by TU.

     Fuel.  Fuel  expense  in 1995  and 1994  increased  $1.8  million  and $1.9
million,  excluding amounts of nonpass-through fuel expenditures,  respectively,
as compared to the  corresponding  prior years. Fuel expense is directly related
to an increased  fixed fuel recovery  factor  approved by the PUCT in connection
with the 1994 Texas rate case settlement.  The majority of TNP's fuel expense is
recovered in revenues and any  difference  from actual costs is deferred until a
new  factor is  established  under a fuel  factor  reconciliation  hearing.  The
current fixed fuel factor was  established to recover current expense as well as
any under-recovered  fuel. The under-recovered  amount at December 31, 1995, was
$9.3 million.  Also,  contributing to the recovery of under-recovered  fuel is a
20% reduction in the cost of lignite coal or $7.6 million  annually.  Additional
information  about  the cost of coal is set  forth in Note 12.  In  management's
opinion, the current fixed fuel factor along with the fuel cost reduction should
enable the  recovery of  under-recovered  fuel costs by the second half of 1997.
Originally,  the  recovery  of  under-recovered  fuel costs was  expected by the
second half of 1996;  however,  increased  standby  purchases in connection with
outages at TNP One and increased  economy sales,  to which the fixed fuel factor
does not apply, have delayed the recovery of under-recovered fuel costs. Economy
sales were higher because of the  increasing  number of  renegotiated  contracts
with industrial customers.

   Labor/Benefits Expenses

     Other  operating  expense  was $1.0  million  lower  in 1995  than in 1994.
Payroll and payroll related items decreased $7.2 million,  primarily as a result
of the 1994 reorganization.  Offsetting these savings were the costs of employee
incentive  compensation plans adopted in 1995,  increases in customer collection
costs,  outsourcing,  outside  services,  wage and salary  increases,  and other
administrative expenses.

     Labor/benefits  expenses  increased  $2.3 million from 1993 to 1994.  Labor
increased $1.2 million due to a 3% general wage increase  implemented in January
1994, the first such adjustment since 1991. TNP also restored  employer matching
contributions to the 401(k) thrift plan in July 1994. Matching contributions had
been discontinued since January 1, 1993.

   Interest Charges

     The $1.3 million  decrease in 1995 interest  charges  resulted from reduced
long-term  debt levels and  decreased  interest  rates  associated  with the New
Credit  Facility.  Contributing  to reduced debt levels were the  retirement  of
$29.2  million of Series T FMBs in October 1995 with  proceeds  from the sale of
the Texas panhandle  properties and lower average  borrowings under TNP's credit
facilities.  Increased  profitability  during 1995 as  previously  discussed  at
"Results  of  Operations--Overall  Results"  enabled  TNP to reduce its  average
borrowings under the its credit facilities.

     Interest  charges are expected to decrease  during 1996 for three  reasons.
First,  management expects to use available cash flow to reduce borrowings under
the New Credit Facility in 1996.  Second, TNP will experience a full year effect
of the $29.2 million Series T FMBs retirement  ($3.3 million  annually).  Third,
the reduced  interest rate margin  associated  with the New Credit Facility will
contribute to lower interest charges.

     Annual  interest  charges during 1994 increased by $7.3 million as compared
to 1993.  The  increase  resulted  from the  issuance of $270.0  million of debt
during  September 1993 which replaced debt with lower  interest  rates.  Issuing
these    securities    enabled   TNP   to   extend    maturities   and   utilize
prepayment/subsequent  reborrowing  provisions of the remaining debt outstanding
under  its  previous  credit  facilities,  which  were  used  to  finance  TNP's
acquisition of TNP One.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Sources of Liquidity

     As  discussed  in Note 9, TNP  entered  into  the New  Credit  Facility  on
November 3, 1995,  amending its previous credit facilities.  TNP's improved cash
flow from operations resulted in significant reductions in outstanding principal
balances  associated  with its credit  facilities.  As of December 31, 1995, the
unused commitment under the New Credit Facility was $107 million. TNP can borrow
only $57  million  of the  unused  commitment  unless it  pledges  FMBs equal in
principal amount to total New Credit Facility borrowings over $100 million.

   Capital Resources

     Both TNPE's and TNP's  capital  structure  improved  during 1995 as TNP was
able to reduce  debt  levels due to the sale of the Texas  Panhandle  properties
(see Note 3) and the significant earnings  improvement  described at "Results of
Operations--Overall  Results." The equity  portion of TNPE's  capital  structure
increased  from 21.1% at  December  31,  1994,  to 26.1% at December  31,  1995.
Conversely,  the long-term debt ratio decreased from 77.9% to 73.5% for the same
period.  TNP  experienced  similar  results  with its capital  ratios.  TNP also
retired $5.1 million of preferred stock during 1995.

     TNP's  capital  requirements  through  2000 are  projected to be as follows
(amounts in millions):





                                                              1996       1997       1998      1999        2000

     FMB and secured debenture maturities (see Note 9)      $   1.1   $  101.9    $   1.1   $ 131.1    $ 110.1

       Total capital requirements                           $  33.4   $  132.4    $  32.9   $ 164.3    $ 145.0
                                                              =====     ======      =====     =====      =====


     At the end of 1995 the  outstanding  balance under the New Credit  Facility
was $43 million,  which will be due in 2000.  The New Credit  Facility  provides
greater  financial  flexibility  to TNP.  In  addition  to lower  interest  rate
margins,  the New Credit  Facility  is  available  to retire  other  outstanding
long-term  debt.  TNP  believes  that  cash flow from  operations  and  periodic
borrowings  under the New Credit  Facility  will be  sufficient  to meet working
capital  requirements  and fund planned capital  requirements  through 1996. TNP
expects  to use the  New  Credit  Facility  to  redeem  maturing  debt in  1997.
Borrowings  under the New  Credit  Facility  may be  supplemented,  however,  by
issuing other  long-term debt or a capital  contribution  from the proceeds of a
TNPE common stock sale.

Other Matters

     In March 1995,  FASB issued SFAS 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  Of."  SFAS 121
requires  that  long-lived  assets  and  certain  intangibles  be  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

     In  October  1995,  FASB  issued  SFAS  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS 123 permits  companies  to retain the current  approach set
forth in APB  Opinion  25,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued to  Employees,"  for
recognizing stock-based compensation. However, companies are encouraged to adopt
a new accounting  method based on estimated  fair values.  Companies that do not
follow the new fair value based  method  will be  required  to provide  expanded
disclosures in their 1996 financial statements.

     Management  believes  that  adopting SFAS 121 and SFAS 123 in 1996 will not
have a material effect on TNPE's and TNP's  consolidated  financial  position or
results of operations.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                       Three Years Ended December 31, 1995

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   General Information

     The consolidated  financial statements of TNPE and subsidiaries include the
accounts of TNPE and its wholly owned subsidiaries,  TNP, Bayport  Cogeneration,
Inc., and TNP Operating Company.  The consolidated  financial  statements of TNP
and subsidiaries  include the accounts of TNP and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
TGC and TGC II. All intercompany  transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.

     TNP is  TNPE's  principal  operating  subsidiary.  TNP is a public  utility
engaged in  generating,  purchasing,  transmitting,  distributing,  and  selling
electricity  in  Texas  and  New  Mexico.  TNP is  subject  to  PUCT  and  NMPUC
regulation. Some of TNP's activities,  including the issuance of securities, are
subject  to FERC  regulation  and  its  accounting  records  are  maintained  in
accordance with FERC's Uniform System of Accounts.

     The use of estimates is required to prepare  TNPE's and TNP's  consolidated
financial   statements  in  conformity   with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.  Management  believes  that  estimates  are  essential  and will not
materially differ from actual results.

     Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
method of presentation.

   Accounting for the Effects of Regulation

     Electric  utilities operate in a highly regulated  environment.  TNPE's and
TNP's  consolidated  financial  statements  reflect the  application  of certain
accounting standards,  including SFAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain
Types of Regulation,"  which provide for recognition of the economic  effects of
rate regulation.  Included among these effects are the recognition of regulatory
assets and liabilities.  Regulatory  assets represent  revenues  associated with
certain costs that are expected to be recovered  from customers in future rates.
Regulatory  liabilities are costs previously  collected from customers and other
amounts that are  refundable in future rates.  The  following  table  summarizes
TNPE's and TNP's regulatory  assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1995, and
1994.

     Federal and state  legislators and regulatory  authorities  have adopted or
are considering a number of changes that are significantly impacting competitive
conditions in the electric utility industry, such as the creation of independent
power producers, wholesale transmission access, and retail wheeling. If recovery
of costs through rates becomes uncertain or unlikely, whether due to legislative
or regulatory changes,  competition, or otherwise,  accounting standards such as
SFAS 71 may no longer apply to TNPE and TNP. As a result,  TNPE and TNP could be
required  to  write  off  all  or a  portion  of  their  regulatory  assets  and
liabilities.  Moreover,  to the extent that  future  rates are  insufficient  to
recover costs, additional write downs could be required.  Management of TNPE and
TNP are  currently  unable to  predict  the  ultimate  outcome of changes in the
electric utility industry and whether the outcome will have a significant effect
on their  consolidated  financial  position and results of operations.  However,
based upon current  regulatory  conditions  in the states in which TNP operates,
management  believes  it  probable  that  TNPE  and TNP will  continue,  for the
foreseeable future, to recover from ratepayers the regulatory assets included in
the table above.

   Utility Plant

     Utility  plant is  stated  at the  historical  cost of  construction  which
includes labor,  materials,  indirect  charges for such items as engineering and
administrative costs, and AFUDC. Property repairs and replacement of minor items
are charged to operating  expenses;  major  replacements  and  improvements  are
capitalized to utility plant.

     AFUDC is a noncash item designed to enable a utility to capitalize interest
costs during periods of construction.  Established  regulatory  practices enable
TNP to recover these costs from  ratepayers.  The composite rates used for AFUDC
were 8.0%, 8.8%, and 7.5% in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

     The costs of  depreciable  units of plant  retired  or  disposed  of in the
normal course of business are  eliminated  from utility plant  accounts and such
costs  plus  removal   expenses   less   salvage  are  charged  to   accumulated
depreciation.  When  complete  operating  units  are  disposed  of,  appropriate
adjustments  are made to accumulated  depreciation,  and the resulting  gains or
losses, if any, are recognized.

     Depreciation is provided on a  straight-line  method based on the estimated
lives of the properties as indicated by periodic depreciation studies. A portion
of depreciation of  transportation  equipment used in construction is charged to
utility plant accounts in accordance with the equipment's use. Depreciation as a
percentage of average  depreciable  cost was 3.3%, 3.1%, and 3.0% in 1995, 1994,
and 1993, respectively.

   Cash Equivalents

     All highly liquid debt  instruments with maturities of three months or less
when purchased are considered cash equivalents.

   Temporary Investments

     Temporary   investments  are  recorded  at  amortized  cost,  adjusted  for
amortized or accreted  premiums or discounts,  as management has the ability and
intent to hold these  securities  until maturity.  These  securities are federal
debt obligations that mature within one year.

   Customer Receivables and Operating Revenues

     Effective  January 1,  1995,  TNP  changed  its  method of  accounting  for
operating revenues from cycle billing to the accrual method as described in Note
2. Unbilled  revenues  represent the estimated  amount customers will be charged
for  service  received,  but  not  yet  billed,  as of the  end of  each  month.
Previously these revenues were recognized as operating revenues in the following
month.

     TNP sells customer  receivables to an unaffiliated company on a nonrecourse
basis.

   Purchased Power and Fuel Costs

     Electric rates include estimates of purchased power and fuel costs incurred
by TNP in purchasing  or generating  electricity.  Differences  between  amounts
collected and allowable  costs are recorded either as purchased power subject to
refund or deferred  purchased power and fuel costs in accordance with regulatory
ratemaking policy.

   Deferred Charges

     Expenses  incurred  in issuing  long-term  debt and  related  discount  and
premium are amortized on a straight-line  basis over the lives of the respective
issues.

     Included in deferred  charges are other assets that are expected to benefit
future periods and certain costs that are deferred for rate making  purposes and
amortized over periods allowed by regulatory authorities.

   Income Taxes

     In 1993, TNPE and TNP implemented  SFAS 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes"
on a prospective  basis.  SFAS 109 required a change from the deferred method to
the asset and liability  method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset
and  liability  method,  deferred  income  taxes  are  recognized  for  the  tax
consequences  of  "temporary  differences"  by  applying  enacted  tax  rates to
differences  between  the  financial  statement  amounts  and the tax  bases  of
existing assets and liabilities.

     SFAS 109 required TNP to recognize deferred income taxes for:

                  - the reduction in depreciable tax bases due to ITC,
                  - ITC accounted for under the deferred method,
                  - prior  flow-through  rate making treatment of certain income
                    tax  benefits, and
                  - the effects of federal  income tax rate changes.

                                    Page 29



     SFAS 109 permits regulated  enterprises to recognize  adjustments resulting
from the  adoption  of SFAS 109 as  regulatory  assets  or  liabilities  if such
amounts are probable of being  recovered  from or returned to customers  through
future rates.  Accordingly,  TNP recorded regulatory and deferred tax assets and
liabilities as a result of the adoption of SFAS 109. The  implementation of SFAS
109 in 1993 did not have a significant effect on results of operations.

     ITC  amounts  utilized in the federal  income tax return are  deferred  and
amortized to earnings  ratably over the  estimated  service lives of the related
assets.

     TNPE files a  consolidated  federal  income tax return  that  includes  the
consolidated operations of TNP and its subsidiaries. The amounts of income taxes
recognized in TNP's accompanying consolidated financial statements were computed
as if TNP and its subsidiaries filed a separate  consolidated federal income tax
return.

   Fair Values of Financial Instruments

     Fair  values  of cash  equivalents,  temporary  investments,  and  customer
receivables approximated the carrying amounts because of the short maturities of
those instruments.

     The estimated fair values of long-term debt and preferred  stock were based
on quoted market prices of the same or similar issues. The estimated fair values
of long-term debt and preferred stock were as follows:



                                       December 31, 1995                   December 31, 1994

          Long-term debt          $ 612,995         $ 643,000          $ 685,502        $ 674,000
          Preferred stock             3,600             1,600              8,680            5,900


   Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     EPS is computed for each year based upon the weighted average common shares
outstanding.   Net   earnings   (loss)  is  adjusted  for   preferred   dividend
requirements.  The  effect on EPS of the  incentive  compensation  plans was not
significant as discussed in Note 7.

   Common Stock

     At December 31, 1995,  306,223  shares of TNPE's common stock were reserved
for issuance to TNP's 401(k) plan. Additionally, 646,957 shares of TNPE's common
stock were reserved for subsequent  issuance under other stock  compensation  or
shareholder plans.

   Shareholder Rights Plan

     TNPE has a Rights Plan that is designed to protect TNPE's shareholders from
coercive  takeover  tactics and  inadequate or unfair  takeover bids. The Rights
Plan provides for the  distribution of one right for each share of TNPE's common
stock currently outstanding or issued until the close of business on November 4,
1998.

     Upon the occurrence of certain events, each right entitles a shareholder to
elect to purchase one share of common  stock at $45 per share or, under  certain
circumstances,  shares of common stock at half the then-current  market price or
to receive TNPE common stock or other securities having an aggregate value equal
to the excess of (i) the value of the common  stock or other  securities  on the
date the rights are  exercised  over (ii) the cash  payment that would have been
payable upon exercise of the rights if cash payment had been elected.

     Until certain  triggering events occur, the rights will trade together with
TNPE's common stock and separate rights  certificates will not be issued.  Among
the triggering events are the acquisition by a person or group of 10% or more of
TNPE's  outstanding  common  stock or the  commencement  of a tender or exchange
offer  that,  upon  consummation,  would  result in a person or group of persons
owning  15% or more of  TNPE's  outstanding  common  stock.  The  rights  expire
November 4, 1998,  unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by TNPE, and have had no
effect on EPS.

(2)    Change in Accounting for Unbilled Revenues

     Effective  January 1,  1995,  TNP  changed  its  method of  accounting  for
operating  revenues  from  cycle  billing to the  accrual  method.  This  change
resulted in the recognition of $12,993,000 of additional  revenues  ($8,445,000,
net of taxes,  or $0.77 per share).  Accruing  unbilled  revenues  more  closely
matches  revenues  and  expenses  and more  closely  conforms to common  utility
industry  practice.  At December 31, 1995, the accrual for unbilled revenues was
$12,781,000.

                                    Page 30


(3)    Sale of Texas Panhandle Properties

     TNP completed the $29.2 million sale of its Texas  Panhandle  properties to
SPS on September 15, 1995, and recognized a net of tax gain of $9.5 million,  or
$0.87 per share of TNPE common stock.  The sale was consummated  pursuant to the
sale  agreement  between  TNP and SPS in  connection  with the  Texas  rate case
settlement  discussed in Note 5. The Panhandle properties comprised a relatively
small portion of TNP's business. The book value of the Panhandle properties sold
was $14.3  million.  Revenues from the  properties  for 1995 through the closing
date were $7.4 million with corresponding sales of 76.3 GWH to 7,350 customers.

     The  proceeds  received  from  SPS were  deposited  directly  with  Bank of
America,  Illinois,  as Trustee and $29.2 million of Series T FMBs were redeemed
in accordance with the indenture  governing TNP's FMBs. On October 16, 1995, the
Trustee paid the proceeds to the holders of the FMBs that were called.

     In January  1996,  TNP filed a class  action  lawsuit  against John Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance  Company,  a Series T bondholder.  TNP seeks  confirmation
that its  redemption of Series T FMBs with proceeds from the Panhandle  sale was
within  its  rights  under the  indenture  governing  the FMBs.  TNP also  seeks
attorneys' fees.

     TNP's lawsuit  originally  was filed in Texas state court in September 1995
against PPM,  which  claimed to be a  bondholder  and  threatened  to take legal
action against TNP over the redemption.  On PPM's motion,  the original  lawsuit
was removed to the United States  District  Court,  Northern  District of Texas,
Fort  Worth  Division  (No.  495-CV-738-A).  PPM  filed a  counterclaim  seeking
declarations  that the  Series  T  partial  redemption  breached  the  indenture
governing  the FMBs and that TNP cannot  redeem  Series T FMBs prior to maturity
under  circumstances  like the Panhandle sale. PPM sought an injunction  barring
future redemptions under such circumstances.  PPM also claimed that TNP violated
the antifraud  provisions of the Texas  Securities Act and  Section10(b)  of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and  restrictions of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 on impairing  bondholder  rights.  PPM sought  alleged  actual and punitive
damages of approximately $6.0 million and attorneys' fees. Because PPM was not a
bondholder,  it was  dismissed  from the lawsuit and, on PPM's  motion,  Jackson
National Life Insurance Company was substituted as defendant.

     Management  believes  that the  substitute  defendant's  counterclaims  are
without merit and is vigorously  contesting the claims. In management's opinion,
the ultimate  disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect
on TNPE's and TNP's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(4)    Revenues Subject to Refund

     During the third  quarter of 1995,  the IRS issued TNP a favorable  private
letter  ruling that  enabled TNP to  recognize  additional  revenues and accrued
interest of $4.9 million that  previously had been deferred.  This resulted in a
one-time after-tax earnings increase of $3.0 million, or $0.28 per share of TNPE
common stock.

     The revenues  recognized  were collected from October 1991 through  October
1994,  as a result of a Texas rate case filed in 1991.  The PUCT  allowed TNP to
collect additional annualized revenues of $1.6 million pending the resolution of
the regulatory tax treatment of disallowed  utility plant.  Recognition of these
revenues was conditioned upon TNP obtaining the ruling from the IRS. The private
letter ruling does not affect revenues related to electricity sales on and after
October  2,  1994,  when the new  rates  in the  most  recent  Texas  rate  case
settlement were implemented.

(5)    Regulatory Matters

   Texas Rate Case Settlement

     On October 6, 1994,  the PUCT  approved a  unanimous  settlement  among the
parties in TNP's 1994 retail rate application. The rate case settlement provides
for an increase in annualized revenues in Texas of $17.5 million, or 4.5%, which
TNP implemented on October 2, 1994.

     The settlement  resolved all  outstanding  court appeals in connection with
TNP's two previous rate cases and required TNP to write off $31.5 million ($35.0
million of the original cost of TNP One).  TNP  recognized  the write-off in the
second quarter of 1994,  which resulted in an after-tax  charge of approximately
$20.5  million,  or $1.91 per share of TNPE common stock.  The  settlement  also
required  TNP to  sell  its  Texas  Panhandle  properties,  subject  to  certain
conditions.

     The  rate  case  settlement  includes  a  moratorium  restricting  TNP from
applying for rate  increases  in Texas until March 31, 1999,  subject to certain
conditions.  These  conditions  do not  allow  TNP to apply  for any  base  rate
increase  under any  circumstances  prior to March 31, 1997,  but would allow an
application  for  increased  rates to be filed after that time if certain  force
majeure events (as defined in the agreement) occur during the moratorium.



                                    Page 31


   Other Regulatory Matters

     In a 1990 PUCT  application,  TNP was granted DAT for certain operating and
interest  costs  relating  to  the  construction  of  Unit  1 of  TNP  One.  The
unamortized  balances  of these costs were $4.3  million and $4.4  million as of
December 31, 1995, and 1994,  respectively.  Certain cities have filed an appeal
in district court  contesting the DAT.  Management  does not expect the ultimate
disposition of this matter to have a material adverse effect on TNP's and TNPE's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(6)    Reorganization

     During the fourth quarter of 1994, TNP reduced company-wide staffing levels
by 140  positions,  or 14% of the  workforce,  as a result  of work  elimination
reviews by employee teams. The goals of the teams were to streamline  operations
and reduce future costs.  The staffing  reductions were  accomplished  primarily
through early  retirements  and  involuntary  terminations.  The aggregate costs
impacting TNP's 1994 operations  were $8,782,000  ($5,723,000,  net of taxes, or
$0.53 per share of TNPE common stock).

(7)    Employee Benefit Plans

   Pension Plan

     TNP has a defined  benefit pension plan covering  substantially  all of its
employees.   Benefits  are  based  on  an   employee's   years  of  service  and
compensation.  TNP's funding policy is to contribute the minimum amount required
by federal funding  standards.  The following table sets forth the plan's funded
status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31,
1995, and 1994.



                                                                       1995           1994

   Postretirement Benefit Plan

     TNP sponsors a health care plan that  provides  postretirement  medical and
death  benefits to retirees who satisfied  minimum age and service  requirements
during  employment.  In 1993, TNP adopted SFAS 106,  "Employers'  Accounting for
Postretirement  Benefits Other Than  Pensions." SFAS 106 requires an employer to
recognize the costs of  postretirement  benefits on the accrual basis during the
periods that employees  render service to earn the benefits.  Prior to 1993, the
costs of these benefits were expensed on a  "pay-as-you-go"  basis. TNP has been
permitted to recover  through  rates the  additional  costs  resulting  from the
adoption of SFAS 106.  TNP  established  a trust fund  dedicated to paying these
postretirement benefits.

     The  following  table  sets  forth the plan's  funded  status  and  amounts
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1995, and 1994.

     The  transition  obligation is being  amortized  over a 20-year period that
began in 1993.  The  assumed  health  care cost trend  rate used to measure  the
expected  cost of  benefits  was 6.0% for 1995 and is assumed to trend  downward
slightly each year to 4.3% for 2003 and  thereafter.  The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant  effect on the amounts reported.  For example,
increasing the assumed  health care cost trend rates by one percentage  point in
each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1995, by $2.3 million and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net postretirement benefit cost for 1995 by $279,000.

     Additional  assumptions used in accounting for the  postretirement  benefit
plan as of December 31, 1995, and 1994, were as follows:

         Expected rate of return on assets (net of taxes)                   6.0%             6.0%


   Incentive Plans

     TNPE and TNP established several incentive  compensation plans in 1995. All
employees participate in one or more of these plans.  Incentive  compensation is
based on meeting key financial and  operational  performance  goals such as EPS,
operations  and  maintenance  costs per KWH,  and system  reliability  measures.
Results of operations  at December 31, 1995,  include costs for the various cash
and equity plans of $2.0 million.

   Other Employee Benefits

     TNP has a 401(k)  plan  designed  to  enhance  the other  retirement  plans
available to its employees.  Employees may invest their  contributions  in fixed
income securities,  mutual funds, or TNPE common stock. TNP's  contributions are
used to purchase  TNPE common  stock,  which  employees  may later  convert into
investments in other investment options. TNP dedicated a portion of its matching
contribution  to  meeting  certain  performance  goals  during  1995.  Based  on
achievement of 1995 financial performance goals, TNP contributed $653,000 to the
401(k) plan.  TNP's total  contributions  to the 401(k) plan were  approximately
$1,746,000 in 1995,  $753,000 in 1994,  and none in 1993.  Plan assets  included
1,474,982  shares and  1,721,553  shares of TNPE common stock as of December 31,
1995, and 1994, respectively.

     TNP has employment  contracts with certain  members of management and other
key  personnel.  The contracts  provide for lump sum  compensation  payments and
other  rights  in the  event of  termination  of  employment  or  other  adverse
treatment of such persons  following a "change in control" of TNPE or TNP.  Such
event is defined to include,  among  other  things,  substantial  changes in the
corporate structure, ownership, or board of directors of either entity.

     An excess  benefit  plan has been  provided for certain key  personnel  and
retired  employees.  The excess  benefit  plan is  partially  provided  under an
insurance  policy  arrangement  for  benefits  that  generally  would  have been
provided by the pension and thrift plans except for federal limitations.

     In 1991, TNPE received an IRS private letter ruling  confirming that Unit 1
generating  plant was property  eligible for ITC. In connection with an audit of
TNPE's 1990 and 1991  consolidated  federal income tax returns,  the IRS revenue
agent recommended,  in March 1995, that the private letter ruling concerning the
TNP  One  generating  plant's  eligibility  for  ITC be  revoked  retroactively.
Management  believes  that TNP's  claim for ITC is valid and is  contesting  the
agent's  recommendation.  Of the $22.5  million  of ITC at  issue,  TNPE and its
subsidiaries  have utilized $5.2 million in the consolidated tax returns through
1994 and expect to utilize  $2.9 million in the 1995  consolidated  tax returns.
TNP's portion is $4.0 million and $2.9 million,  respectively.  However, through
1995,  TNPE and TNP have only  recognized  $1.1 million of the ITC in results of
operations since 1990.

(9)    Long-Term Debt

   First Mortgage Bonds

     FMBs  issued  under the Bond  Indenture  are secured by  substantially  all
utility plant owned directly by TNP. The Bond Indenture  restricts cash dividend
payments on TNP common stock as discussed  in Note 11. The Bond  Indenture  also
prohibits  issuing  additional  FMBs  unless net  earnings  available  for fixed
charges are at least twice the annual interest  charges on bonded  indebtedness,
as defined.  Under this test,  as of December  31,  1995,  approximately  $208.0
million of additional  FMBs could be issued,  assuming an interest rate of 9.0%.
In addition, TNP may only issue FMBs for 60% of available additions,  as defined
in the Bond Indenture. At December 31, 1995, TNP could not issue any significant
amount of FMBs pursuant to this test.

   Secured Debentures

     TNP's Series A, 10.75% secured  debentures and 12.5% secured debentures are
secured with a first lien on a portion of Unit 1. The 12.5%  secured  debentures
are also secured by a first lien on a portion of Unit 2. TNP's secured debenture
holders are also secured by second liens on  substantially  all utility plant in
Texas owned directly by TNP.

     The secured  debentures  also contain  restrictions  on dividends and asset
dispositions.

   Revolving Credit Facility

     TNP entered into a New Credit Facility  effective November 3, 1995. The New
Credit  Facility  provides for a total  commitment  of $150 million and replaced
borrowings  under the credit  facilities  used to acquire TNP One.  The interest
rate margins under the New Credit  Facility were 0.875% lower in 1995 than those
under the previous credit facilities.  In addition,  interest rate margins under
the previous  credit  facilities were scheduled to increase  automatically  each
year while those under the New Credit  Facility  will decrease as the ratings on
TNP's FMBs improve.

     Collateral  securing the New Credit Facility is generally a first lien on a
portion of TNP One, a second  lien on TNP's  first  mortgage  bond trust  estate
located in Texas,  and a pledge of $30 million of FMBs that do not bear interest
except upon  default  under the New Credit  Facility.  This  collateral  secures
borrowings up to $100 million.  Before increasing borrowings above $100 million,
TNP must pledge additional FMBs (noninterest  bearing except upon default) in an
amount equal to the borrowings  over $100 million.  As of December 31, 1995, TNP
had outstanding borrowings of $43 million under the New Credit Facility.

     The New Credit  Facility not only resulted in lower  interest rate margins,
but also will provide TNP with additional  financing  flexibility.  The previous
credit  facilities'  commitment was scheduled to reduce by  approximately  $36.9
million  annually over four years  beginning  December 31, 1995.  The New Credit
Facility commitment will reduce to $125 million on November 3, 1998, and to $100
million on November 3, 1999,  and will expire on November 3, 2000.  TNP also has
the ability to draw on the New Credit Facility to redeem other outstanding debt.



                                    Page 36



     During 1995,  interest  rates on borrowings  under TNP's credit  facilities
ranged from 7.63% to 11.38%.  The  average  borrowing  rates under TNP's  credit
facilities were 8.92% and 9.27% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Under specified conditions, TNP's credit facilities restrict the payment of
cash  dividends on TNP common  stock.  The credit  facilities  also prohibit the
sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition of assets other than in the ordinary
course of business.

   Maturities

     As of December 31, 1995, FMB and secured  debenture  maturities and sinking
fund requirements for the five years following 1995 are as follows:




                                                              Secured          Total FMBs and
                            Year             FMBs           Debentures       Secured Debentures
                                                          (In thousands)
                                                                              
                            1996         $    1,070         $       -            $   1,070
                            1997            101,870                 -              101,870
                            1998              1,070                 -                1,070
                            1999              1,070            130,000             131,070
                            2000            110,070                 -              110,070



     At the end of 1995,  $43  million  was  outstanding  under  the New  Credit
Facility,  which matures in 2000. TNP anticipates  that borrowings under the New
Credit Facility will fluctuate up to $150 million over this period.


(10)   Redeemable Cumulative Preferred Stock

     If TNP liquidates voluntarily or involuntarily,  holders of preferred stock
have  preferences  equal to amounts payable on redemption or par,  respectively,
plus accrued  dividends.  During 1995, TNP partially retired Series B and C, and
completely  retired  series  D, E, F, and G, with a  combined  par value of $5.1
million.

     TNP's charter provides that additional shares of preferred stock may not be
issued  unless  certain  tests are met. As of December 31, 1995,  no  additional
preferred stock could be issued.

(11)   Common Stock Dividends

   TNP
   ---
     The Bond  Indenture  prohibits TNP from paying cash dividends on its common
stock (which is wholly owned by TNPE) unless unrestricted  retained earnings are
available.  The restriction  became operative during 1994 due to the recognition
of  $35.0  million  of  regulatory  disallowances  as  discussed  in  Note 5 and
temporarily  precluded  TNP from paying cash  dividends.  Unrestricted  retained
earnings became available again at March 31, 1995, and continued to be available
during  the  remainder  of 1995.  As of  December  31,  1995,  $30.6  million of
unrestricted retained earnings were available for dividends.

   TNPE
   ----
     The dividend restriction at TNP did not preclude TNPE from paying quarterly
cash  dividends to its  shareholders  during 1994 and 1995.  TNPE  increased its
quarterly  dividend  from $0.20 to $0.22 per  share,  beginning  with  quarterly
dividends paid on December 15, 1995. TNPE had reduced the quarterly  dividend by
51% from $0.41 to $0.20 per share  beginning  with the third quarter of 1994 due
to TNP's  restriction and other factors such as the relatively low common equity
of TNPE's capital structure and industry considerations.

(12)   Commitments and Contingencies

   Fuel Supply Agreement

     TNP successfully negotiated a 20% reduction in the cost of lignite provided
by Walnut Creek Mining  Company  effective  January 1, 1995, for the life of TNP
One.  Walnut Creek Mining  Company is jointly owned by Phillips Coal Company and
Peter Kiewit Sons',  Inc.  Initially,  the reduction  will be used to offset the
accumulated under-recovery of fuel costs which aggregated $9.3 million and $15.3
million as of December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively.



                                    Page 37


   Wholesale Purchased Power Agreements

     TNP  purchases a  significant  portion of its  electric  requirements  from
various wholesale suppliers.  These contracts are scheduled to expire in various
years through 2010.

     TNP has  notified TU of its intent to cease  purchasing  full  requirements
power and energy effective January 1, 1999. In addition,  in July 1995 TNP filed
proceedings  with the PUCT and in a Texas state  district court to declare TNP's
wholesale  purchased power agreement with TU null and void. TNP asserts that the
terms of the  agreement  are against  public  policy and violate  Texas law. TNP
requests a declaration that provisions in the TU agreement  prohibiting TNP from
disclosing the agreement's  terms and filing the agreement for regulatory review
are against public policy and violate Texas law.  Pursuant to an order issued by
the state district court, TNP's action is being held in abeyance until such time
as TNP's PUCT action is resolved.  In February 1996, an administrative law judge
recommended  that the PUCT conclude that most of TNP's  complaints  about the TU
agreements lack merit.  The judge did recommend,  however,  that the agreement's
prohibitions on disclosure and regulatory  review are void. TNP expects the PUCT
action to be determined by mid 1996.

     In 1995, TU supplied  approximately  36% of TNP's Texas capacity and 29% of
its Texas  energy  requirements.  Management  expects  that,  as a result of the
developing  competition  within the wholesale power market,  TNP will enter into
new  arrangements  for such capacity and energy on terms that are more favorable
for its  customers.  During July 1995,  TNP issued  requests for  proposals  for
purchased  power  resources  during 1996 through 2004 to replace power currently
purchased from TU.

   Legal Actions
