                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Central and South West System
Benefits Advisory Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Central and South West Corporation  Retirement Savings Plan ( "the Plan")
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the related  statements of changes in net
assets  available  for benefits  for each of the three years ended  December 31,
1999. These financial  statements,  and the schedules referred to below, are the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 the Plan's  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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1999,  and 1998,  and the changes in its net assets  available  for
benefits for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purposes  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  schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                       CENTRAL AND SOUTH WEST CORPORATION
                             RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

   The Central and South West Corporation  (CSW or the  Corporation)  Employees'
Thrift Plan  (Thrift  Plan),  a defined  contribution  plan,  was adopted by the
Corporation effective December 22, 1959, and was renamed "Central and South West
Corporation  Thrift  Plus"  (Thrift  Plus),  effective  January 1, 1991.  It was
renamed "Central and South West Corporation Retirement Savings Plan" (the Plan),
effective  July 1, 1997. The following  Central and South West System  companies
are participating employers in the Plan as of December 31, 1999:

        Central Power and Light Company (CPL)
        Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO)
        Southwestern  Electric Power Company (SWEPCO)
        West Texas Utilities Company (WTU)
        Central and South West Services, Inc. (CSWS)
        Central and South West Energy (CSWE)
        CSW Energy Services, Inc.
        C3 Communications, Inc.
        EnerShopSM Inc.

   The following  description  of the Plan  provides  only general  information.
Participants  should refer to the Plan document for a more complete  description
of the Plan provisions.

                                 Administration

   The Plan is administered  by the Corporation's plan administrator as directed
by the Benefits Advisory Committee.  The Benefits Advisory Committee consists of
the Director, Total Compensation; Director, HR Operations; Vice President, Human
Resources;  Manager,  Benefits Service Center;  Manager,  Plan Design; and other
persons the Chief Executive  Officer of the  Corporation  may appoint.  The Plan
assets  are  managed  by the  Investment  Policy  Committee  and the  Investment
Committee.  The  Investment  Policy  Committee  is comprised of the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer;  President and Chief Operating Officer;  Executive Vice
President and General  Counsel;  Executive  Vice  President and Chief  Financial
Officer; Vice President,  Customer Relations and Corporate  Development;  Senior
Vice  President,  Electric  Operations;  and  Senior  Vice  President,  External
Affairs.  The Investment Committee is comprised of the Senior Vice President and
Chief  Financial  Officer;  Treasurer;   Controller;  Vice  President,  Customer
Relations and Corporate Development;  Vice President,  Associate General Counsel
and Corporate Secretary; Vice President, Human Resources; and Director of Trusts
and Investments of the  Corporation.  No member of these  Committees may receive
compensation for their services in that capacity.

   The Plan assets are held in a tax exempt trust at Mellon Trust.  Mellon Trust
serves as trustee for the Plan.

                                  Participation

   Any full-time employee of the participating employers is eligible to become a
voluntary  participant once they have completed 1 hour of service. Any part-time
employee is eligible to become a voluntary  participant once they have completed
1 year of  service.  At December  31, 1999 and 1998,  there were 7,917 and 8,021
participants in the Plan, respectively.

                     Participant and Employer Contributions

   Generally,  eligible  employees  electing to participate in the Plan may make
contributions  in 1%  increments  up to  15%  of  their  salary.  The  employers
contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each participant, an amount equal to 75% of
the participant's  contribution for each payroll period,  but only to the extent
that the  participant's  contributions  do not  exceed  6% of the  participant's
compensation,  subject to certain limitations. All contributions are participant

<PAGE>

directed.   Participants   can  elect  to  place  their  deposits  and  employer
contributions  into the Fixed Income Fund,  CSW  Corporation  Stock Fund,  Asset
Allocation  Fund,  Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  or Growth and Income Fund.  All
contributions  are deposited to the trust after each pay period.  The Tax Reform
Act of 1986 restricts the amount that certain participants who are deemed highly
compensated  may  contribute  to the Plan.  Participants  are  allowed to change
investment  elections,  change contribution  percentages,  or move existing fund
balances on a daily basis.

   Forfeiture  of the  employer  contributions  resulting  from  termination  of
participation  in the  Plan  without  a fully  vested  interest  are used by the
employers to reduce their future  contributions.  Forfeitures  are reinstated if
the  participant is re-employed by a  participating  employer and returns to the
Plan within five years.  The  forfeitures for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997 were $380,746, $244,904, and $60,586, respectively.

   Net contributions  made to the Plan by the employers and the participants for
the  years  ended  December  31,  1999,  1998,  and  1997,  were   approximately
$44,024,000, $43,542,000, and $34,203,000, respectively.

                              Participant Accounts

   Each   participant's   account   is   credited    with   the    participant's
contribution  and  allocations of (a) the employer's  contribution  and (b) Plan
earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations
are based on participant earnings or account balances as defined. The benefit to
which a  participant  is entitled is the benefit  that can be provided  from the
participant's vested account.

                                     Vesting

   Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions,  both pre-tax
and after-tax,  plus any actual earnings  attributable  to those  contributions.
Vesting in the employer  matching  contributions  and the respective  investment
earnings results when one of the following events occurs: (i) completion of five
years of service with a participating  employer;  (ii) termination of employment
after reaching age 55; (iii) disability; or (iv) death.

                          Distributions and Withdrawals

   A   participant's   account  shall  be  distributed  at  the  option  of  the
participant,  to the participant or the  participant's  designated  beneficiary,
upon  termination  of  employment  or death.  In the event of  termination  of a
participant's  employment  before  reaching age 55,  other than by death,  there
shall be  available to the  participant  for  distribution  (i) in the case of a
participant  who had completed five years of service,  the entire balance of the
participant's  account;  or  (ii)  in the  case  of a  participant  who  has not
fulfilled this requirement, only the balance of the Plan account attributable to
the  participant's  own  contributions  and the earnings  attributable  to those
contributions.

   A  participant   may  make   withdrawals  at  any  time  from  any  remaining
contributions  previously  made,  but not  exceeding  the entire  balance in the
account.  Participants  may elect to receive the funds either by lump sum, equal
to market value at time of  withdrawal,  or an  actuarially  determined  annuity
payment,   or  by  rolling  the  funds  into  another   qualified  plan  of  the
participant's  choice.   Employer  contributions  credited  to  a  participating
employee's  account and the respective  earnings may not be withdrawn by or paid
to the  employee  except  upon  termination  as  described  above or unless  the
employee has attained the age of 59 1/2.

<PAGE>


                                 Plan Amendments

   The Plan was restated  effective  July 1, 1997.  The restated  Plan  Document
incorporates all prior amendments as well as the following enhancements: (i) The
name of the plan was  changed  from  Thrift  Plus to The  Central and South West
Corporation   Retirement   Savings  Plan.   (ii)  A  full-time   employee  of  a
participating employer becomes eligible to participate after completing one hour
of  service  instead  of one  year  of  service.  The  minimum  age  eligibility
requirement was eliminated.  (iii) A participant may now contribute up to 15% of
his/her total compensation on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, instead of 12%. (iv)
The  employer  will now  contribute  matching  contributions  of 75% of elective
deferrals  up  to  the  first  6%  of  total  compensation  contributed  by  any
participant,  instead of 50% of base pay for participants  with less than twenty
years of service  and 75% for those  participants  with  twenty or more years of
service.  Total  compensation is now defined as the sum of: base pay,  overtime,
commissions, bonuses, awards and shift differential.

                                Participant Loans

   Participants  may borrow from their  account  balances a minimum of $500 to a
maximum equal to the lesser of (1) 50% of a participant's vested account balance
or (2) $50,000.  Each loan to a participant is evidenced by a written promissory
note held by the Plan.

   Loans to  participants  are taken  from  their  contributions  by an  account
hierarchy  that has been  established  to  provide  the  employee  with the most
beneficial tax treatment and are taken from the  investment  funds in proportion
to the existing fund balances at the time of the request.  Repayment  terms vary
from one to five years for general  purpose  loans and one to fifteen  years for
home loans.  The interest rate for loans is set  periodically by the Corporation
and is fixed for the term of the loan. The average rates in 1999, 1998, and 1997
were  8.875%,  9.4375%  and 9.4375%  respectively.  Payments  of  principal  and
interest are credited to each investment fund based on the employee's investment
election at the time of repayment.


(2) SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                               Basis of Accounting

   These  financial  statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The  Corporation,  as plan sponsor,  has adopted SOP 99-3,  "Accounting  for and
Reporting of Certain Defined  Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure
Matters".   All  financial   statements  and  footnote   disclosures  have  been
reclassified or modified to reflect this change.

                                Use of Estimates

   The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

      The Plan's investments are stated at fair value.  Quoted market prices are
used to value  investments.  Shares of mutual  funds are valued at the net asset
value of shares held by the Plan at year end.  Purchases and sales of securities
are recorded on a trade date basis.

                                 Stock Purchases

   Shares  of CSW  Corporation  stock  for the  Plan are  purchased  in the open
market,  by  matching  purchases  and sales  directed by two or more of the Plan
participants (or their beneficiaries) or otherwise,  as the Plan trustee, Mellon
Bank, may determine.  The trustee, at its discretion,  may time the execution of

purchase  orders for the  purpose  of  limiting  or  spreading  daily  volume of
purchases, as it shall deem in the best interest of the participants.

                                    Expenses

     The  administrative  expenses and trustee fees are paid by the Plan and not
by the  participating  employers.  In 1999,  1998, and 1997, these expenses were
$1,046,000, $1,416,000, and $1,138,000, respectively.

                           Related-Party Transactions

     Certain Plan  investments  are shares of the EB Temporary  Investment  Fund
managed by Mellon  Bank.  Mellon  Bank is the trustee as defined by the Plan and
therefore,  these transactions qualify as party in interest  transactions.  Fees
paid by the Plan for the investment  management  services  amounted to $189,000,
$69,000 and  $101,000  for the years ended  December  31,  1999,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.

                                 Holding Account

     To  expedite  processing  in the  daily  valuation  environment,  a holding
account  was  established  within  the Plan to  facilitate  the  daily  transfer
activity  associated  with the Plan such as  contributions,  distributions,  and
forfeitures.

     At  December  31,  1999 and 1998  there was  approximately  $1,950,000  and
$1,993,000, respectively, in the account which represents the following items:

                                                             December 31,

                                                   ==========         ==========

     There were no  contributions  remaining in the holding  account at December
31, 1999 and 1998 that had not been applied to participants' balances.

                              Federal Income Taxes

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Corporation by
a letter  dated August 17, 1999,  that the  Retirement  Savings Plan and related
trust are  designed in  accordance  with  applicable  sections  of the  Internal
Revenue Code (IRC).  The plan  administrator  believes that the Plan is designed
and is currently being operated in compliance  with the applicable  requirements
of the IRC.



(3) TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

   Effective  December  31,  1998,  C3  Communications,   Inc.   terminated  its
partnership with ChoiceCom,  a participating  employer,  and ICG Communications,
Inc.  purchased  ChoiceCom's  local business.  Active  participation in the Plan
ended on this date for all plan  participants  employed  by  ChoiceCom.  On that
date,  all  participants  employed  by  ChoiceCom  became  100%  vested in their
balances.  Former  ChoiceCom  employees  will  be able to  leave  their  current
balances in the Plan if they so desire;  however, they will no longer be allowed
to make  any  future  contributions  to the  Plan.  The  Plan  sponsor  does not
anticipate any adverse or material effects to the Plan due to the termination of
this partnership.

                             Risks and Uncertainties

       The  Plan's  invested  assets  consist  of stocks,  bonds,  fixed  income
securities,  and other investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed
to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level
of  risk  associated  with  certain  investment  securities  and  the  level  of
uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment  securities,  it is at
least reasonably  possible that changes in risks in the near term may materially
affect participants'  account balances and the amounts reported in the statement
of net assets  available  for plan  benefits and the statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits.

(6) PLAN TERMINATION

   Although it has not  expressed any intent to do so, the  Corporation  has the
right  under  the  Plan to  discontinue  its  contributions  at any  time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of  1974  (ERISA).  In  the  event  of  termination  of the  Plan,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.


(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

                    Fidelity Investments Appointed as Trustee

   Effective  May 15,  2000,  Fidelity  Investments  was  appointed  Trustee and
Recordkeeper  for the Plan.  All Plan  assets  were  transferred  to  Fidelity's
custody as of that date. Some  enhancements were made to the Plan in conjunction
with  the  change  to  Fidelity.  Participants  are  immediately  vested  in the
employer's  contributions  made to their  account.  Therefore,  there will be no
additional forfeitures. In addition, participants who terminate their employment
with the Corporation and have  outstanding  loans may elect the option of paying
off the balance under the existing terms over the remaining life of the loan.


                                   AEP Merger

   On June 15, 2000, CSW and American  Electric  Power,  Inc. (AEP) merged.  The
merger was a tax-free stock for stock  transaction  with AEP being the surviving
corporation.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger  agreement,  each  outstanding
share of common  stock,  par value  $3.50 per share,  of CSW (other  than shares
owned by AEP and CSW) was converted  into the right to receive 0.6 of a share of
common stock, par value $6.50 per share, of AEP.


<PAGE>



  The shares  of CSW  common  stock in the Plan  Stock  Option will  be replaced
with AEP  common  stock  at the  same  ratio  of 0.6  shares.  The  value of the
Corporation's  common  stock in the Plan  would  have  been  approximately  $6.3
million less had the merger been  consummated  at December  31,  1999.  The Plan
sponsor does not anticipate  any adverse or material  effects to the Plan due to
the merger.  It is unknown at this time if the Plan will be terminated or merged
with the AEP plan in the future.
