PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
Item (3)
Investment income for the Texas-New Mexico Power Company Thrift Plan for
Employees increased in 1995 by approximately $11 million. This was attributed to
favorable market conditions during 1995, for the investments held by the Plan.
Benefits paid to participants in 1995 increased by approximately $16 million
because of an involuntary termination program and an early retirement program
effected in late 1994.
