ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.
          ------------

Reference is made to Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 1999 of Texas Utilities Company, doing business as
TXU Corp. and TXU Electric Company (TXU Electric).

In October 1999, TXU Electric filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas
(PUCT) an application for a financing order (Docket No. 21527) to securitize
$1.65 billion of its generation-related regulatory assets and other qualified
costs in accordance with legislation passed by the Texas Legislature in 1999
permitting securitization of regulatory assets and stranded costs. On March 1,
2000, the PUCT rejected TXU Electric's request for securitization of such $1.65
billion of regulatory assets and authorized securitization of only $357 million
of such regulatory assets. TXU Electric believes such ruling is inconsistent
with such legislation and announced that it will pursue an appeal thereof to the
Travis County, Texas District Court following the receipt of a final order
evidencing such ruling from the PUCT. TXU Electric expects that any difference
between the $1.65 billion and the amount finally authorized will continue to be
deferred until securitization of generation related assets is addressed in 2002.
