ENSERCH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
General - The ENSERCH Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings
-------
Plan ("the Plan"), is a participant-directed defined contribution combination
employee stock ownership and profit sharing plan under Sections 401(a),
401(k), 401(m) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"). The
Plan is subject to the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
On June 14, 1999, ENSERCH Corporation's name was changed to TXU Gas
Company; however, the Plan's name was not changed. In August 1997,
ENSERCH Corporation ("ENSERCH" or "the Corporation") became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Texas Utilities Company, doing business as TXU Corp ("TXU").
The merger was immediately preceded by a distribution of Enserch
Exploration, Inc. ("EEX") (a majority-owned publicly traded subsidiary)
shares to holders of ENSERCH common stock. Under terms of the merger
agreement, shares of the common stock of TXU were exchanged for all of
the outstanding shares of the Corporation and company matching contributions
were modified to be in the form of TXU stock. Pursuant to the distribution of
EEX shares, approximately $12,395,000 of Plan assets were transferred to the
EEX Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan.
The following description is provided for general information only.
Reference should be made to the Plan document for more complete information.
The Plan was established by ENSERCH and its divisions and participating
subsidiary companies to encourage and assist employees in establishing an
individual savings and investment program. A committee appointed by the TXU
Board of Directors is responsible for the general administration, management
and operation of the Plan. Chase Bank ("the Trustee"), a federally chartered
bank, serves as trustee and is custodian of the assets of the Plan.
Participation by eligible employees is voluntary. All salaried
employees of ENSERCH and its participating subsidiaries who were on the
ENSERCH payroll for the last payroll period of 1997 were eligible to
participate in the Plan, and those participating remain eligible while
employed by an affiliate of TXU. Individuals employed by ENSERCH and its
subsidiaries subsequent to the last payroll period of 1997 are eligible to
participate in the Employees' Thrift Plan of the Texas Utilities Company
System.
Participants' Contributions - Under the Plan, a participant may invest
---------------------------
pre-tax and/or after-tax dollars through payroll deductions each pay period in
increments of one percent up to a maximum of 16 percent of base pay. The
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 placed an annual limitation of
$160,000 in 1998 on the pay which can be used in computing benefits for
participants under the Plan. The maximum contribution for certain highly
compensated participants is subject to further reduction pursuant to
limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.
Eligible employees can roll over to the Plan distributions received from
other qualified retirement plans. Individual Retirement Account ("IRA")
distributions are not eligible for rollover into the Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each participant is entitled to direct the allocation of his or her
pretax, aftertax and rollover accounts among the common stock of TXU or other
mutual fund investment options as offered. As of December 31, 1998 the mutual
fund investment options included: the American AAdvantage International
Institutional, Dreyfus-Certus Stable Value, Fidelity Equity-Income, Hotchkis
& Wiley Balanced, IDS New Dimensions Y-Class, SSgA Small Capitalization,
Vanguard Bond Index Total Institutional, and the Vanguard Institutional Index.
A participant can change investment elections for future contributions and can
transfer (or exchange) any existing mutual fund balances among the offered
investment options at any time, in accordance with the Plan guidelines.
Employer Matching Contributions ("company matching") - The maximum
-------------------------------
participant contribution eligible for matching is 6% of the participant's
eligible compensation. Company matching contributions as a percentage of
participant contributions are at a rate of 40%, 50% or 60% depending on
on length of service. Employees are 100% vested in the matching contributions.
Company matching contributed to the Plan prior to the ENSERCH and TXU merger
was invested at the participant's direction, in any of the Plan's investment
options. Subsequent to the merger date, all Company matching contributions are
in TXU common stock.
Investment of Funds - All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee for
-------------------
the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. Separate
account records for each participant are maintained by the Trustee. The
Trustee provides a summary of financial performance by investment fund
directly to Plan participants.
Unit Values - Participants do not have beneficial ownership in specific
-----------
securities or other assets in the various funds other than Common Stock, but
have an interest therein represented by units valued as of the close of each
business day. Generally, contributions to and withdrawal payments from each
fund are converted to units by dividing the amounts of such transactions by
the unit value as last determined, and the appropriate account is charged or
credited with the number of units properly attributable to the participant.
Withdrawal from the Plan - Withdrawals from the Plan are governed by
------------------------
applicable IRS regulations and provisions of ERISA. Penalties may apply in
certain instances.
Employees may make full withdrawals from either their after-tax or company
matching accounts at any time and for any reason. Employees may also make
full or partial withdrawals from their rollover accounts at any time and for
any reason. Employees may make withdrawals from pretax accounts after meeting
certain qualifications as defined by the IRS based on certain hardship rules.
A participant who terminates employment and has an account balance of
more than $5,000 can retain the funds in the Plan or withdraw them at any
time. Participants that terminate with balances equal to or less than
$5,000 are required to receive a distribution after termination. To avoid
taxation, the taxable portion of any withdrawal made upon termination can be
rolled into an IRA or a qualified retirement plan sponsored by another
employer.
The IRS has established rules governing distributions from the Plan
after the participant has attained 70 1/2 years of age.

Unclaimed Terminated Participants' Accounts - The plan has a segregated
-------------------------------------------
account of amounts payable to terminated participants of the former Tax
Reduction Act Stock Ownership Plan ("TRASOP") whom the Plan administrators
have been unable to locate for more than one year from the date of
termination. Included in net assets available for benefits as of December 31,
1998, and 1997, were $982,396 and $1,431,021, respectively, of TRASOP
unclaimed terminated participants' benefits. As of December 31, 1998 and
1997, there was $274,471 and $239,122 respectively, invested in the Chase Bank
Short Term Investment Fund, representing unclaimed dividends payable to
terminated participants of the TRASOP. The Plan remains contingently liable
to terminated participants for unclaimed cash and shares.
Federal Income Taxes -The Company has been advised by the IRS that the
--------------------
Plan meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code as to form; that the
trust established thereunder is exempt from federal income taxes under Section
501(a) of the Code; and that employer contributions paid to the Trust under
the Plan are allowable federal income tax deductions to the Corporation
subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 404 of the Code.
Based on the Code and regulations issued pursuant thereto:
(a) Employer contributions under the Plan, and dividends, interest and
other income from Trust assets are not taxable to the participant
when received by the Trustee and credited to the participant's account.
(b) Employee after-tax contributions are not deductible on the
participant's federal income tax return.
(c) Only pre-tax contributions reduce a participant's gross compensation as
reported on Form W-2 and are not taxable to the participant when
received by the Trustee and credited to the participant's account.
(d) A total withdrawal generally results in taxable income to the
participant equal to the gross distribution less any after-tax employee
contribution. However, if the total withdrawal meets the lump sum
distribution requirement of the Code, (i) any net unrealized
appreciation in the value of distributable Common Stock from the time of
distribution will be tax deferred; (ii) any additional appreciation in
the value of Common Stock from the time of distribution to the time of
stock sale or disposition will be treated as short-term or long-term
capital gain depending on the period the participant holds such stock
and (iii) the taxable amount may be eligible for the special forward
averaging provisions of the Code.

Termination of the Plan - It is the intention of the Corporation to
-----------------------
continue the Plan indefinitely; however, the Corporation, by action of its
Board of Directors, may amend, modify or suspend the Plan at any time, or from
time to time, and may terminate the Plan at any time.
In the event of termination of the Plan in whole or in part, each
participant in the Plan shall receive a distribution of the entire balance in
the participant's account. Participants are 100% vested in their accounts at
all times.
2.SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
-------------------
under the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires the
----------------
use of significant estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are
-------------------------------------------
stated at fair value. Investments in common stock of TXU and EEX are valued
at their quoted market value. Investments in mutual funds are valued at
quoted net asset value of the respective funds reflecting the closing sales
price of the underlying securities. Security transactions are recorded on the
trade date.
Expenses - All charges and expenses incurred in the administration of the
--------
Plan and fees and expenses of the Trustee are paid by the Corporation.
New Accounting Pronouncements -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
-----------------------------
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
Number 133 (SFAS 133) "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement, which is required to be adopted for annual
periods beginning after June 15, 2000, establishes standards for recognition
and measurement of derivative and hedging activities. The Plan has not yet
determined the financial statement impact, if any, of SFAS 133.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Employees' Thrift Plan Committee
Employees' Thrift Plan of the Texas Utilities Company System:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the ENSERCH Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
("the Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic financial
statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The accompanying supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for
investment purposes at December 31, 1998 and (2) reportable transactions for
the year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but
are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information by fund and supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental
information by fund and supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1998 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
