PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
The following interim consolidated financial statements of TNPE and
subsidiaries and TNP and subsidiaries are unaudited. The 1995 financial
statements reflect a change in accounting for unbilled revenues. In management's
opinion, the financial statements reflect all other adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals) necessary to state fairly results for the interim
periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods, due
in part to seasonal revenue fluctuations and the 1995 change in accounting.
Amounts shown for TNPE and TNP at December 31, 1995, are based on audited
consolidated financial statements appearing in TNPE's and TNP's 1995 Combined
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) Change in Accounting for Unbilled Revenues
Effective January 1, 1995, TNP changed its method of accounting for
operating revenues from cycle billing to accrual. This change required the
recognition on January 1, 1995 of $12,993,000 ($8,445,000, net of taxes) of
additional revenues. Accruing unbilled revenues more closely matches revenues
and expenses and conforms to common utility industry practice.
(2) Income Taxes
The components of income taxes were as follows:

As indicated in the 1995 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, an
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") revenue agent involved in auditing TNPE's 1990
and 1991 consolidated federal income tax returns recommended, in March 1995,
that a private letter ruling concerning eligibility of the TNP One generating
plant 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 returns through 1994 and expect to utilize $2.9 million in the 1995
consolidated return. TNP's portion is $4.0 million and $2.9 million,
respectively. However, since 1990, TNPE and TNP have only recognized $1.3
million of the ITC in results of operations.
(3) Accounting for the Effects of Regulation
TNPE's and TNP's consolidated financial statements reflect the
application of certain accounting standards, including Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of
Regulation," which provide for recognition of the economic effects of rate
regulation. On May 2, 1996 TNP made a filing with the Public Utility Commission
of Texas ("PUCT") requesting approval of a proposal designed to better position
TNP for a competitive future. On June 21, 1996, TNP made a similar filing with
the New Mexico Public Utility Commission ("NMPUC"). Additional information
regarding these two filings is provided under "MD&A--Regulatory Matters."
Management believes that TNPE and TNP satisfy the criteria for accounting in
accordance with SFAS 71.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations ("MD&A").
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements and Notes. References to "Note(s)" will mean
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results Of Operations
Overall Results
TNPE's earnings applicable to common stock were $7.8 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to earnings of $6.0 million for
the corresponding 1995 period. Earnings were $8.3 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, compared to earnings of $3.5 million for the
corresponding 1995 period, excluding the effect of the $8.4 million change in
accounting described in Note 1.
The earnings improvements of $1.8 million and $4.8 million,
respectively, for the three- and six-month periods resulted from increased base
revenues and lower interest expense partially offset by higher tax-related
expenses and other operating expenses.
Operating Revenues
The components of operating revenues are summarized in the following
table (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
Increase Increase
1996 1995 (Decrease) 1996 1995 (Decrease)
-------- --------- ---------- --------- --------- ----------
Operating revenues $ 122,020 $ 121,237 $ 783 $ 221,847 $ 226,884 $ (5,037)
Less pass-through items:
Purchased power 41,326 44,648 (3,322) 73,961 86,655 (12,694)

------- -------- ------- -------- -------- -------
Base revenues $ 68,222 $ 64,815 $ 3,407 $ 123,643 $ 116,971 $ 6,672
======= ======== ======= ======== ======== =======
GWH Sales 1,759 1,565 194 3,353 3,040 313
======== ========= ======= ========= ========= =======
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. Explanations for
the three- and six-month period variances are discussed under "Results of
Operations -- Operating Expenses."
Current three- and six-month period base revenues exceeded the
corresponding 1995 periods by $3.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The
base revenue increases are primarily due to increased sales to residential and
commercial customers due to weather-related conditions, higher usage by certain
industrial customers, and the addition of new customers. Approximately 3,000
customers have been added to TNP's system since the sale of the Texas Panhandle
properties in September 1995.
Current quarter sales of 1,759 GWH represented a 12.4% improvement over
prior quarter sales. Consumption increased among all customer classes.
Industrial sales increased by 20.4% due the addition of new load from an
existing customer and increased standby sales to cogenerating customers. Sales
to residential and commercial customers increased 8.9% and 4.6%, respectively,
due to warmer-than-normal temperatures in the company's Texas service area.
Current six-month period sales of 3,353 GWH represented a 10.3%
improvement over the corresponding 1995 period due to the reasons stated above
and colder than normal weather during the first quarter of 1996 causing
increased consumption among Texas residential customers.
Operating Expenses
The components of operating expenses are summarized in the following
table (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
Increase Increase
1996 1995 (Decrease) 1996 1995 (Decrease)
-------- --------- ---------- --------- --------- ----------
Pass-through expenses $ 53,798 $ 56,422 $ (2,624) $ 98,204 $ 109,913 (11,709)
Other operating expenses 30,850 29,742 1,108 60,516 59,418 1,098
Tax-related expenses 12,045 9,973 2,072 20,014 15,409 4,605
------- -------- -------- -------- --------- -------
Operating Expenses $ 96,693 $ 96,137 $ 556 $ 178,734 $ 184,740 $ (6,006)
======= ======== ======== ======== ========= =======
Total operating expenses for the current quarter increased by $0.6
million as compared to the same quarter last year due to an increase in
tax-related expenses of $2.1 million and other operating expenses of $1.1
million offset by lower pass-through expenses of $2.6 million.
Current six-month period operating expenses decreased by $6.0 million
as compared to the corresponding 1995 period. This resulted from lower
pass-through expenses of $11.7 million offset by increases in tax-related
expenses of $4.6 million and other operating expenses of $1.1 million.
Pass-through Expenses
Pass-through expenses consist of purchased power, standby power, and
certain fuel costs. The overall decreases in pass-through costs are primarily
due to lower costs of purchased power offset by increased fuel expense.
Purchased Power. Purchased power costs decreased by $3.3 million in the
current quarter due to reductions in the cost of power from existing suppliers
and shifting purchases to new, lower cost suppliers. Purchased power costs
decreased by $12.7 million for the current six-month period due to the
previously stated reasons and TNP passing through to Texas customers refunds
from two suppliers of $6.7 million.
Fuel. The increases in current quarter and current six-month periods of
$0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, are attributed to increased GWH
sales. The majority of TNP's monthly fuel costs are recovered in revenues
through a fixed fuel factor per KWH approved by the PUCT. TNP records as fuel
expense the amount collected through this fixed fuel factor. Any difference
between the amount collected and actual cost is deferred for collection/refund
in future periods. TNP has an under-recovered fuel cost at June 30, 1996 of
$8.4 million.
Tax-Related Expenses and Other Operating Expenses
Tax-related expenses consist of income taxes and taxes other than
income taxes. The increase of $2.1 million and $4.6 million in the current
three- and six- month periods, respectively, is due to improved operating
results and increased ad valorem tax rates.
Other operating expenses increased by $1.1 million in both the current
three- and six-month periods, respectively. The increase is due to increased
labor and employee benefits costs from severance payments in June 1996 related
to recent workforce reductions.
Interest Expense
Interest charges during the current three- and six-month periods
decreased by $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The decreases are
attributed to reduced long-term debt levels and decreased interest rates
associated with the revolving credit facility. Contributing to the long-term
debt reduction were the retirement of $29.2 million of Series T First Mortgage
Bonds in October 1995 and a reduction in the amount of borrowings under the
revolving credit facility due to use of excess cash to repay debt.
Financial Condition
Liquidity
TNP has sufficient liquidity to satisfy the possibility of any known
contingencies. Management believes cash flow from operations and periodic
borrowings under its revolving credit facility should be sufficient to meet
working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures at least through
1998. Liquidity requirements may be supplemented by capital contributions from
proceeds of the private or public placement of TNPE common stock.
As of June 30, 1996, unused credit under the revolving credit facility was
$100 million, subject to interest coverage and capitalization tests. TNP can
borrow up to $50 million of the unused commitment with no additional collateral
and can borrow the remainder of the unused commitment ($50 million) by pledging
First Mortgage Bonds ("FMBs") equal in principal amount to such borrowings.
Presently, TNP is limited in its ability to issue new FMBs as collateral. In
order to use the additional $50 million of unused commitment, TNP would have to
redeem existing FMBs which could then be used as collateral for borrowings under
such unused commitment.
Regulatory Matters
Community Choice(SM)
On May 2, 1996, TNP filed an application with the PUCT requesting
approval of a program known as Community Choice that would apply to electric
services provided by TNP in Texas. On June 21, 1996, TNP filed an application
with the NMPUC requesting approval of a similar Community Choice program that
would apply to electric service provided by TNP in New Mexico. Community Choice
is a transition plan designed to address the opportunities and challenges
presented by the increasingly deregulated and competitive environment of the
electric services industry. Each of these filings requests that TNP be allowed
to implement the Community Choice program beginning in January 1997.
As proposed by TNP, Community Choice provides for transition periods of
four years in New Mexico and five years in Texas. During these transition
periods, TNP's rates for electric service in New Mexico and Texas would be
structured to provide TNP a reasonable opportunity to reduce its so-called
"stranded costs." "Stranded costs" means the difference between what it
currently costs TNP to provide electric service and what a customer would be
willing to pay in a competitive retail electric services market. In Texas, TNP's
potential stranded cost relates to TNP One, its 300 MW generating unit, and
could potentially be more than $250 million. In New Mexico, TNP's potential
stranded cost relates to its purchased power contracts and could potentially be
more than $30 million. At the end of the transition periods, TNP would
aggregate, or combine, its customers at the community level and permit these
aggregated electrical loads to choose the types and nature of electric services
that will be available to individual customers within each aggregated load.
There can be no assurance that Community Choice will be approved by the
PUCT or the NMPUC, or that Community Choice, if approved, will be successful.
The success of Community Choice and its impact on the financial performance of
TNP depends on many factors, including regulatory approval, customer interest
and satisfaction, and its ability to develop and implement programs tailored for
its customers individually. The PUCT has raised a number of issues which it
desires to have addressed by TNP and the various intervenors. TNP will continue
to evaluate the effect of these and other issues on the eventual approval by the
PUCT of its application.
Texas Transmission Access Filing
The PUCT recently passed a wholesale transmission access rule which
establishes a regional method of transmission pricing, terms, and conditions.
The purpose is to increase competition in wholesale energy sales within Texas
and establish an Independent System Operator for the Electric Reliability
Council of Texas ("ERCOT") transmission system. As a direct result, filings of
cost data from all Texas utilities were made with the PUCT in May 1996. These
filings will be used by the PUCT to set the transmission pricing rules for the
ERCOT region. TNP believes it should benefit from the new rules as competition
should increase in the wholesale power market and result in reduced purchased
power and wheeling costs. TNP expects the PUCT to finalize the transmission fee
structure by the end of 1996.
Control Area
TNP implemented a control area in Texas which became operational on
July 31, 1996. The control area is an electrical system which enables TNP to
instantaneously balance its system resources with loads. TNP had previously
contracted with another utility for these services. It also permits TNP to
replace standby power with its reserves at TNP One, its generation plant, which
should result in annual cost savings of at least $3.1 million annually.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As discussed in TNPE's and TNP's 1995 Combined Annual Report of Form 10-K
at page 38, incorporated in this report by reference, TNP filed proceedings in
July 1995 with the PUCT and in a Texas state district court to declare TNP's
wholesale purchased power agreement with Texas Utilities Electric Company ("TU")
null and void. TNP requested a declaration that certain provisions in the TU
agreement are against public policy and violate Texas law.
In an April 1996 meeting, the PUCT discussed TNP's complaint against TU and
the issues of whether the PUCT has the authority to rescind or restructure this
agreement. The PUCT issued an order requiring TNP and TU to submit briefs on
these issues. Further impacting these issues is the question of the degree to
which the TU agreement complies with the PUCT's new open access transmission
rules. In May the PUCT found that the agreement with TU for wholesale power and
transmission service was a single agreement and that the transmission terms
should comply with the new transmission access rules. The PUCT abated the
proceeding for 90 days and ordered TNP and TU to renegotiate the contract. TNP
and TU have since filed pleadings indicating that negotiations are at an impasse
and requesting that the PUCT issue a final order. On August 7, 1996, the PUCT
addressed the motions and found two of the terms of the contract void and voted
to issue a final order ordering the parties to reform the transmission services
portion of the contract. Any final order issued is subject to motions for
rehearing and appeal by TNP and/or TU. The ultimate outcome of these motions and
any subsequent appeals cannot be determined at this time.
