                  DEFERRED AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OF
                       THE TEXAS UTILITIES COMPANY SYSTEM

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Plan Description -- The Deferred and Incentive Compensation Plan of the
     Texas Utilities Company System (Plan) was approved and authorized by the
     Board of Directors of Texas Utilities Company (Company) on May 15, 1987,
     effective July 1, 1987. The Plan was amended effective May 31, 1992 and
     restated as of January 1, 1995. The Plan allows officers of the Company
     and its subsidiaries (Companies) with the title of Vice President or above
     to defer a percentage of their compensation not to exceed a maximum
     percentage determined by the Organization and Compensation Committee of
     the Board of Directors of the Company for each plan year and, in any
     event, not to exceed 15% of the participant's compensation. The Companies
     will make a matching award equal to 150% of the deferred compensation. In
     addition, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of
     Directors of the Company also provides awards under the Annual Incentive
     Plan with 50% of any such awards treated as incentive awards under this
     Plan. Amounts credited to a participant's account are invested in shares
     of common stock of the Company. On the expiration of the applicable
     maturity period (3 years for incentive awards and 5 years for deferrals
     and matching awards) the value of the participant's account is paid in
     cash. To the extent that the amounts maturing under the Plan combined with
     the eligible employee's other remunerations exceeds $1,000,000, the
     maturity period shall be extended. In the event a participant's employment
     is terminated because of death or permanent and total disability, all
     amounts in the participant's account shall mature immediately. If the
     participant terminates employment prior to the end of a Plan Year, the
     deferred amount and company match will be recomputed as of the termination
     date. In the event a participant's employment is terminated by retirement,
     the participant will receive a distribution of his account at the end of
     the applicable maturity period. If the participant terminates employment
     by retirement prior to the end of a Plan year, the participant may have
     previously elected to accelerate the balance of salary reductions. In the
     event a participant's employment is terminated because of reasons other
     than death, disability or retirement, all rights to any performance units
     for maturity periods not yet completed shall be forfeited to the sponsor
     except for amounts deferred by the participant and six percent per annum
     interest on those amounts which is the minimum return for all participants
     of the Plan.

     The number of participants (current and former employees) at June 30,
     1997, 1996 and 1995 were 43, 54, and 55, respectively.

2.   Plan Investments -- The cost, market value and unrealized appreciation
     (depreciation) of investments at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are as

     The contribution for incentive awards amounted to $1,790,782, $1,191,870
     and $820,000 for the Plan Years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.

4.   Plan Distributions -- Maturing in June 1997 were employees' salary
     deferrals and matching awards made for the Plan Year ended June 30, 1993
     and the incentive awards made for the Plan Year ended June 30, 1995. The
     distribution of matured deferrals and/or awards of $3,469,831 represent
     the net proceeds obtained by the Trustee upon sale of the associated
     assets (common stock of the Company) in July 1997. Terminations from the
     Plan resulted in net forfeitures for the Plan of $309,371.

     Maturing in June 1996 were the incentive awards made for the Plan Year
     ended June 30, 1994. The distribution of matured deferrals and/or awards
     of $601,240 represent the net proceeds obtained by the Trustee upon sale
     of the associated assets (common stock of the Company) in July 1996.

                       THE TEXAS UTILITIES COMPANY SYSTEM

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     during the year ended June 30, 1997, $76,996 was distributed to
     participants terminating during the year for reasons other than death,
     disability or retirement.

     Maturing in June 1995 were employees' salary deferrals and matching awards
     made for the Plan Year ended June 30, 1991 and the incentive awards made
     for the Plan Year ended June 30, 1993. The distribution of matured
     deferrals and/or awards of $3,340,178 represent the net proceeds obtained
     by the Trustee upon sale of the associated assets (common stock of the
     Company) in July 1995.

5.   Federal Income Taxes -- The Plan is not intended to, and the Company has
     been advised that: the Plan does not meet the requirements of a
     tax-qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; the
     Trust established thereunder is not exempt from federal income taxes under
     Section 501(a); and the Company will be provided a corresponding federal
     income tax deduction for the amount of income recognized by the
     participant by reason of distributions under the Plan.

     Based on the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder:

     (a)  A participant's elective deferrals under the Plan, matching awards,
          incentive awards, and any dividends, interest or other income thereon
          will not be subject to federal income tax until the year such amounts
          are paid or otherwise made available to the participant.

     (b)  Elective deferrals under the Plan are not deductible by the
          participant on his or her federal income tax return, since elective
          deferrals are not includable in participant's income until paid or
          otherwise made available to the participant.

     (c)  Amounts distributed under the Plan will be taxable as ordinary income
          to the participant in the year of such distribution.

6.   Plan Administration Fees -- All administrative fees are paid by Texas
     Utilities Company, the Plan sponsor.

7.   Plan Termination -- The Company's Board of Directors may amend, terminate,
     or suspend the Plan at any time. An amendment or modification of the Plan
     may affect active participants as well as future participants, but no
     amendment or modification of the Plan for any reason may diminish any
     participant's account as of the amendment's effective date. Upon Plan
     termination, all amounts credited to a participant's account shall be
     deemed to have matured, as described in the Plan document.

8.   Subsequent Event-- On August 5, 1997, pursuant to the previously reported
     Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 13,
     1996 among the Company, ENSERCH Corporation, a Texas corporation (ENSERCH)
     and TUC Holding Company, a Texas corporation (TUCHC): (i) subsidiaries of
     TUCHC were merged into Texas Utilities Company and ENSERCH (the Merger),
     (ii) the Company and ENSERCH became wholly-owned subsidiaries of TUCHC,
     (iii) TUCHC changed its name to Texas Utilities Company, (iv) the Company
     changed its name to Texas Energy Industries, Inc. (v) all of the Company's
     common stock held under the Plan was automatically converted into shares
     of TUCHC on a one-for-one basis and (vi) TUCHC assumed sponsorship of the
     Plan. Management has not determined whether the Merger will have any
     additional effects on the Plan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Organization and Compensation Committee,
 Deferred and Incentive Compensation
 Plan of the Texas Utilities Company  System:

We have audited the statements of financial condition of the Deferred and
Incentive Compensation Plan of the Texas Utilities Company System as of June
30, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income and changes in plan
equity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Plan at June 30, 1997 and
1996, and the related plan income and changes in plan equity for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
