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 at
January 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
and the supplemental schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Administrative Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the supplemental schedule 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 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, 2000
and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes at January 31, 2000 is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is 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 schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

           Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. Thrift and Savings Plan
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            JANUARY 31, 2000 AND 1999


(1) SUMMARY OF THE PLAN AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN

The Plan was amended effective November 1, 1999 to increase from 14% to 19%,
with certain limitations, the maximum percentage of base salary that
participants may elect to defer and contribute to the Plan. Also, the Plan was
restated effective February 1, 2000 to incorporate all prior Plan amendments.

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 and makes
payments to members in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

For financial statement purposes, mutual funds and MEDC Common Stock are carried
at market values which are determined based upon published market quotations.
The Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust (MLPRT) is valued $1 per unit,
MLPRT invests in guaranteed investment contracts which are valued at contract
value which approximates fair value. The effective yield for the years ended
January 31, 2000 and 1999 was 6.6%. The Merrill Lynch Equity Index Trust I Fund
is valued at quoted market prices of its underlying investments and participant
loans are valued at their principal amounts which approximate market.

INVESTMENT INCOME AND RECOGNITION

Purchases and sales are recorded on trade date. Realized gains (losses) on sales
of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments are
reported as net appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits. The average cost method is
used to determine the cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis, and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investments in common collective trusts, mutual
funds and common stocks. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to
various risks, including interest rate, credit and overall market volatility
risks. Because of the risks associated with investment securities, it is
reasonably possible that changes in their values will occur in the near term.

ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF POSITION 99-3

AICPA Statement of Position 99-3 (SOP 99-3), "Accounting for and Reporting of
Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters" was
issued in September 1999. Among other things, SOP 99-3 reduced required
disclosures by defined contribution plans concerning participant-directed
investments. SOP 99-3 was adopted by the Plan effective February 1, 1999.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Members may elect, with certain limitations, to reduce their compensation by
instructing the Company to contribute from 1% to 19% of their base salary (14%
prior to November 1, 1999) 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 which do not receive the favorable tax treatment. The
total of a member's pretax and after-tax contributions may not exceed 19% of
base salary (14% prior to November 1, 1999).

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.

Members may direct the Trustee to invest their contributions in one or more of
the investment options offered by the Plan. The investment options include MEDC
Common Stock, fifteen mutual funds and two common collective trusts -- which are
trusteed by Merrill Lynch Trust Company. In addition, there are three Goal
Manager options that invest in certain of the available investment options.

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. During January 1999, in
connection with a reduction in force, the Company fully vested the accounts of
members whose employment was terminated who were not already vested in the
Company's matching contributions to their respective accounts.

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, 2000 and 1999,
forfeitures of $38,202 and $18,861 occurred, and forfeitures of $10,000 and
$35,404 were used to reduce the Company's contributions. At January 31, 2000 and
1999, an additional $28,972 and $770, respectively, was available 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. Members may request that distributions
from the MEDC Common Stock Fund be in cash (rather than stock), subject to
procedures established by the administrative committee. Distributions paid to
withdrawing members were unusually large in fiscal 2000 because of the reduction
in force implemented by the Company late in the previous year.

Withdrawals of members' pretax contributions are limited by Section 1.401(k)-1
of the Internal Revenue Code to instances of a member's death, retirement,
disability, separation from service, attainment of age 59-1/2 or conditions of
severe hardship. One withdrawal may be made 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. Such 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. Account balances pledged to secure loans may not be
withdrawn from the Plan.

TERMINATION

The Plan may be terminated, amended or modified by 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 of their then-existing account balances.

(2) FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan is designed to operate as a non-tax-paying entity, and income taxes
have not been provided in its financial statements. 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 Code). Although the Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letter, the administrative committee
believes that it continues to operate in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code.

(3) FORM 5500 REPORTING

Although distributions to participants must be reported on a cash basis in the
Plan's financial statements, the instructions for Form 5500 require that such
transactions be reported when approved for payment. At January 31, 2000,
$87,141 of approved distributions remained unpaid. A reconciliation follows of
resultant differences between amounts included in the accompanying financial
statements and amounts to be reported in the Plan's Form 5500 for the year ended
January 31, 2000:
