                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Administrative Committee of the Mitchell
  Energy & Development Corp. Thrift and Savings Plan:


      We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. Thrift and Savings
Plan as of January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of Mitchell Energy & Development Corp.'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 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 net assets available for plan benefits of
the Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. Thrift and Savings Plan at January 31,
1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

      Our audits were made 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 as of January 31, 1996 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended are presented for 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 fund information in the statement of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information 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.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          JANUARY 31, 1996 AND 1995



(1)   SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

      GENERAL

      The Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. Thrift and Savings Plan (the
Plan) was adopted by Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. (MEDC) and certain of
its subsidiaries (collectively the Company) to encourage their employees to
provide additional security for their retirement.  Full-time employees of the
Company are eligible to become members of the Plan on the first of the month
following their completion of a one-month eligibility period.  Other employees
are eligible to become members after completing one year of participation
service as defined in the Plan's provisions.  Members should refer to the Plan
document for a complete description of the Plan's provisions.

      ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan is administered by an administrative committee appointed by
MEDC's Board of Directors. The committee has broad responsibilities regarding
the supervision and administration of the Plan. Members of the administrative
committee receive no compensation from the Plan for their services. Except for
loan processing fees charged to members who have more than one loan
outstanding, administrative expenses have been paid by the Company.  Should the
Company choose not to pay such expenses in the future, however, they would be
paid by the Plan and charged to the members' accounts.

      TRUSTEE

      Plan investments are held by Merrill Lynch Trust Company of Somerset, New
Jersey (Trustee), as trustee of the Plan.  The Trustee receives contributions,
makes payments to members in accordance with the terms of the Plan and has
investment management authority where investment discretion is placed with the
Trustee.

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      The records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
for financial reporting purposes.  For financial statement purposes, Plan
investments other than the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust and
participant loans are carried at market values which are determined based upon
published market quotations supplied by the Trustee.  The Merrill Lynch
Retirement Preservation Trust, which is a common collective trust, is valued at
a unit value of $1 per unit while participant loans are valued at their
principal amounts which approximate market.

      USE OF ESTIMATES.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS

      Members may elect, with certain limitations, to reduce their compensation
by instructing the Company to contribute from 1% to 14% of their base salary to
the Plan on a pretax basis.  Amounts so deferred, as limited by applicable
Federal income tax regulations, are not included in a member's adjusted gross
income for Federal income tax purposes in the year the income is deferred and
contributed to the Plan.  Members may also make after-tax contributions to the
Plan.  The total of a member's pretax and after-tax contributions may not
exceed 14% of base salary. After-tax contributions are included in the member's
adjusted gross income for Federal income tax purposes in the year the income is
earned and contributed to the Plan.





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9
      The Company makes contributions to the Plan of an amount equal to 100% of
a member's contributions, up to 6% of base salary.

      Each participant's account is credited with his or her contributions and
the applicable matching contributions and an allocation of the Plan's earnings.
Allocations of earnings are based on the proportion that each participant's
account balance bears to the total of all participant account balances, except
that earnings for investments that are valued daily are allocated only to
accounts participating in those investments.

      Members may direct the Trustee to invest their contributions in one or
more of the investment funds listed below.  The number of participants (some of
whom participate in more than one fund) in each investment fund at January 31,
1996 and 1995 and the investment objectives of the various funds are as
follows:

      VESTING

      A member becomes vested in the Company's matching contributions upon
completing five years of vesting service.  A year of vesting service is defined
as the performance of 1,000 hours of service in a Plan year.





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   10
      FORFEITURES

      When a member who has not yet vested terminates employment, the value of
his/her share of Company contributions is forfeited and used to reduce future
Company contributions.  During the Plan years ended January 31, 1996 and 1995,
forfeitures of $95,041 and $164,301 occurred.  Forfeitures of $91,361 and
$151,545 were used during these periods to reduce the Company's contributions,
and an additional $63,455 was available at January 31, 1996 to reduce the
Company's future contributions.  For members re-employed before completing a
break in service, as defined by the Plan, Company contributions are reinstated
upon the member's reinvestment of applicable amounts in the Plan.

      DISTRIBUTIONS, WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS

      A withdrawing member is entitled to receive the value of his/her
contributions and, upon retirement, death, permanent disability or termination
after having completed five years of vesting service, is also entitled to
receive 100% of the value of applicable Company contributions.

      Distributions of member account balances invested in the MEDC Common
Stock Fund are made in kind with fractional shares paid in cash.  Distributions
from all other investment funds are paid in cash.  A member may request a cash
distribution from the MEDC Common Stock Fund in lieu of stock, subject to
procedures established by the administrative committee.

      Section 1.401(k)-1 of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the withdrawals
that members may make from their pretax contributions.  Such withdrawals are
limited to instances of a member's death, retirement, disability, separation
from service, attainment of age 59-1/2 or conditions of severe hardship.

      Withdrawals may be made on the first day of each month, but only once
during a twelve-month period.  Fund balances arising from a member's rollover
of balances from other plans may be withdrawn at any time.

      Members are eligible to borrow up to the lesser of 50% of the vested
value of their total Plan investments or $50,000.  All loans are evidenced by
promissory notes, which are secured by the member's account and bear interest
at a quoted prime rate plus two percent.  Participant loans are reported as
assets of the Loan Fund and payments received, including interest, are
transferred to the investment funds based on members' current contribution
elections.  Member account balances pledged to secure loans may not be
withdrawn from the Plan.

      TERMINATION

      The Plan may be terminated, amended or modified by the MEDC's Board of
Directors at its option. If the Plan is terminated, and after all expenses are
paid, any unallocated contributions, forfeitures, income and expenses will be
allocated among the members' accounts.  All members would then be fully vested
and would be entitled to receive all amounts then credited to their accounts.

(2)   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on December 29, 1995,
in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code.  The administrative committee believes that the Plan is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Administrative Committee of the
   MND Hospitality, Inc. Thrift and Savings Plan:


      We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the MND Hospitality, Inc.  Thrift and Savings Plan as of
January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related state ments of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of
Mitchell Energy & Development Corp.'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 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 net assets available for plan benefits of
the MND Hospitality, Inc. Thrift and Savings Plan at Janu ary 31,1996 and 1995,
and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      Our audits were made 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 as of January 31, 1996 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended are presented for 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 fund information in the statement of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information 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.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JANUARY 31, 1996 AND 1995




(1)   SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

      GENERAL

      Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. (the Company or MEDC), a large
independent oil and gas company in the United States and a leading real estate
developer in the Houston area, also engages in certain hospitality industry
activities.  The Company's hospitality industry employees are employed by a
separate subsidiary, MND Hospitality, Inc.  The MND Hospitality, Inc. Thrift
and Savings Plan (the Plan) was adopted to encourage hospitality industry
employees to provide additional security for their retirement.  Full-time
employees of MND Hospitality, Inc. (the Employer) are eligible to become
members of the Plan on the first of the month following their completion of a
one-month eligibility period.  Other employees are eligible to become members
after completing one year of participation service as defined in the Plan's
provisions.  Members should refer to the Plan document for a complete
description of the Plan's provisions.

      ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan is administered by an administrative committee appointed by
MEDC's Board of Directors. The committee has broad responsibilities regarding
the supervision and administration of the Plan. Members of the administrative
committee receive no compensation from the Plan for their services. Except for
loan processing fees charged to members who have more than one loan
outstanding, administrative expenses have been paid by the Company. Should the
Company choose not to pay such expenses in the future, however, they would be
paid by the Plan and charged to the members' accounts.

      TRUSTEE

      Plan investments are held by Merrill Lynch Trust Company of Somerset, New
Jersey (Trustee), as trustee of the Plan. The Trustee receives contributions,
makes payments to members in accordance with the terms of the Plan and has
investment management authority where investment discretion is placed with the
Trustee.

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      The records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
for financial reporting purposes. For financial statement purposes, Plan
investments other than the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust and
participant loans are carried at market values which are determined based upon
published market quotations supplied by the Trustee. The Merrill Lynch
Retirement Preservation Trust, which is a common collective trust, is valued at
a unit value of $1 per unit while participant loans are valued at their
principal amounts which approximate market.

      USE OF ESTIMATES.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS

      Members may elect, with certain limitations, to reduce their compensation
by instructing the Employer to contribute from 1% to 14% of their base salary
to the Plan on a pretax basis. Amounts so deferred, as limited by applicable
Federal income tax regulations, are not included in a member's adjusted gross
income for Federal income tax purposes in the year the income is deferred and
contributed to the Plan. Members may also make after-tax contributions to the
Plan. The total of a member's pretax and after-tax contributions may not
exceed 14% of base salary. After-tax contributions are included in the member's
adjusted gross income for Federal income tax purposes in the year the income is
earned and contributed to the Plan.





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9
      For members who have completed less than five years of vesting service,
the Employer contributes an amount equal to 50% of a member's contributions, up
to 6% of base salary.  For members with five or more years of vesting service,
Employer contributions are equal to 100% of a member's contributions, up to 6%
of base salary.

      Each participant's account is credited with his or her contributions and
the applicable matching contributions and an allocation of the Plan's earnings.
Allocations of earnings are based on the proportion that each participant's
account balance bears to the total of all participant account balances, except
that earnings for investments that are valued daily are allocated only to
accounts participating in those investments.

      Members may direct the Trustee to invest their contributions in one or
more of the investment funds listed below.  The number of participants (some of
whom participate in more than one fund) in each investment fund at January 31,
1996 and 1995 and the investment objectives of the various funds are as
follows:

      VESTING

      A member becomes vested in the Employer's matching contributions upon
completing five years of vesting service.  A year of vesting service is defined
as the performance of 1,000 hours of service in a Plan year.





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   10
      FORFEITURES

      When a member who has not yet vested terminates employment, the value of
his/her share of Employer contributions is forfeited and used to reduce future
Employer contributions.  During the plan years ended January 31, 1996 and 1995,
forfeitures of $36,550 and $21,850 occurred.  Forfeitures of $20,882 and
$27,853 were used during these periods to reduce the Company contributions, and
an additional $23,791 was available at January 31, 1996 to reduce the Company's
future contributions.  For members re-employed before completing a break in
service, as defined by the Plan, Employer contributions are reinstated upon the
member's reinvestment of applicable amounts in the Plan.

      DISTRIBUTIONS, WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS

      A withdrawing member is entitled to receive the value of his/her
contributions and, upon retirement, death, permanent disability or termination
after having completed five years of vesting service, is also entitled to
receive 100% of the value of applicable Employer contributions.

      Distributions of member account balances invested in MEDC Common Stock
Fund are made in kind with fractional shares paid in cash.  Distributions from
all other investment funds are paid in cash. A member may request a cash
distribution from the MEDC Common Stock Fund in lieu of stock, subject to
procedures established by the administrative committee.

      Section 1.401(k)-1 of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the withdrawals
that members may make from their pretax contributions.  Such withdrawals are
limited to instances of a member's death, retirement, disability, separation
from service, attainment of age 59-1/2 or conditions of severe hardship.

      Withdrawals may be made on the first day of each month, but only once
during a twelve-month period.  Fund balances arising from a member's rollover
of balances from other plans may be withdrawn at any time.

      Members are eligible to borrow up to the lesser of 50% of the vested
value of their total Plan investments or $50,000.  All loans are evidenced by
promissory notes, which are secured by the member's account and bear interest
at a quoted prime rate plus two percent.  Participant loans are reported as
assets of the Loan Fund and payments received, including interest, are
transferred to the investment funds based on members' current contribution
elections.  Member account balances pledged to secure loans may not be
withdrawn from the Plan.

      TERMINATION

      The Employer can terminate, amend or modify the Plan at its option.  If
the Plan is terminated, and after all expenses are paid, any unallocated
contributions, forfeitures, income and expenses will be allocated among the
members' accounts.  All members would then be fully vested and would be
entitled to receive all amounts then credited to their accounts.


(2)   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on December 14, 1995,
in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code.  The administrative committee believes that the Plan is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
