                          ENSERCH EXPLORATION, INC.
                   Notes to Condensed Financial Statements



1. On December 30, 1994, through a series of transactions, Enserch
   Exploration, Inc. (EEX) acquired all of the operating properties of Enserch
   Exploration Partners, Ltd. (EP) and EP received common stock of EEX.  EP
   was then liquidated, and its partners received one share of EEX common
   stock for each limited and general partnership interest held.  The ENSERCH
   companies also received EP's interests in and assumed EP's obligations
   under certain equipment lease arrangements (the equipment was
   simultaneously subleased to EEX) and assumed approximately $395 million
   principal amount of EP's indebtedness, plus accrued interest.

   EEX had no operations in 1994.  The pro forma statements of income of EEX
   for 1994 represent EP's results adjusted to reflect (1) the assumption by
   ENSERCH companies of $395 million of EP's debt, (2) the 1% general partner
   interest previously not included in EP's results, (3) the changes in
   offshore facilities and equipment lease terms, (4) the cost allocation for
   management of certain corporate services, and (5) a provision for corporate
   income taxes that were not payable by EP as a partnership.

2. Earnings per share applicable to common stock are based on the weighted
   average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including
   common equivalent shares when dilutive.

3. In April 1995, EEX entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of
   the capital stock of DALEN Corporation for $340 million plus the assumption
   of $115 million of bank debt.  Also in April 1995, a Mobil Corporation
   affiliate exercised its option to acquire a 40% working interest in EEX's
   Garden Banks unit.

4. Components of current liabilities in the December 1994 balance sheet have
   been reclassified.

5. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
   recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
   operations for the interim periods included herein have been made.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



Enserch Exploration, Inc.:


   We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Enserch
Exploration, Inc. as of March 31, 1995, and the related condensed statements
of income and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

   We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review
procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective
of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

   Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such condensed financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Enserch Exploration, Inc., as of December 31,
1994, (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 1995, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on that balance sheet.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to
the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -On December 30, 1994, through a series of transactions,
Enserch Exploration, Inc. (EEX) acquired all of the operating properties of
Enserch Exploration Partners, Ltd. (EP).  Accordingly, EEX had no operations
in 1994.  All references to 1994 are to the pro forma results for EEX, which
represent the adjusted results of EP.  EEX had first-quarter 1995 net income
of $1.3 million ($.01 per share), compared with $8.4 million ($.08 per share)
for the first quarter of 1994, reflecting a decline in both prices and sales
volumes for natural gas.  Operating income for the first three months of 1995
was $1.5 million versus $11.5 million for the year-ago period.

First-quarter 1995 revenues were $42 million, compared with $50 million for
the same period last year.  Natural-gas revenues of $32 million were 25% below
the first quarter of 1994.  The average natural-gas price received fell from
$2.32 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in the first quarter of 1994 to $2.22 per
Mcf in the first quarter of 1995.  The average price received benefited from
gas price hedge positions and longer term contracts at prices above current
spot market prices.  Natural-gas sales volumes from production were
14.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf) versus 18.4 Bcf in the year-earlier period.  The
decline in sales volumes reflects lower output from Gulf of Mexico properties,
partially due to maintenance work; lower output from East Texas fields,
partially due to timing differences on annual delivery requirements on
reserves sold in 1988; and reduced expenditures for replacing gas production
because of lower gas prices.

Oil and condensate revenues of $8.9 million were $1.8 million higher than the
first quarter of 1994, with sales volumes of 533 thousand barrels up 11% from
the year-earlier period.  The average price per barrel of oil for the first
quarter was $16.77, compared with $14.85 for the first quarter last year.

EEX uses gas and oil swaps, collars and futures agreements to hedge volatile
product prices for a portion (normally 30 to 70 percent) of anticipated future
gas and oil production.  Hedges increased gas revenues by $3.0 million in the
first quarter of 1995, compared with virtually no impact on revenues in the
1994 first quarter.  Hedges reduced first-quarter 1995 oil revenues by
$.1 million but added $.7 million in the first quarter of 1994.  At March 31,
1995, EEX had outstanding swaps, collars and futures agreements extending
through June 1996 to exchange payments on some 13.3 Bcf of gas and 1.2 million
barrels (MMBbls) of oil on which EEX had $1.4 million of net unrealized gains.
At March 31, 1995, realized gains on hedging activities of $.6 million were
deferred.

Costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1995 of $40 million were slightly
higher than the $39 million for the year-earlier period.  Production and
operating costs were $1.2 million above the first quarter of 1994 due to
higher maintenance costs.  General, administrative and other expenses for the
first quarter of 1995 reflect a $1.2 million provision for the deductible
portion of injuries and damages claims, while first-quarter 1994 included a
$.6 million reduction from reserves for such claims no longer required.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 9% due to the decline in production,

                                -6-

<PAGE>
partially offset by a higher-per-unit amortization of capitalized costs caused
by higher onshore exploratory expenditures and the cost of equipment under
capital leases.  Product prices are subject to seasonal and other
fluctuations.  A decline in prices from March levels or other factors, without
mitigating circumstances, could cause a future write-down of capitalized costs
and a noncash charge against income.

Interest income for the first quarter of 1995 decreased $.8 million from the
prior first quarter due to the collection of a note receivable from an ENSERCH
affiliate in February 1995.

Operating results for 1995 will be impacted by the third-quarter commencement
of production from Garden Banks Block 388.  Revenues from the early levels of
production on the two pre-drilled wells may not be sufficient to cover
operating costs, amortization and the equipment lease costs on the floating
production platform and related facilities.  Some operating costs and
amortization vary with production; however, other costs and the equipment
lease costs are essentially fixed.  Operating results are expected to improve
significantly for 1996 as production begins from several development wells and
equipment lease and other fixed costs are spread over significantly more
production.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES - Net cash flows from operating activities
were $12 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Investing activities provided
$30 million during the period, which included $86 million from the collection
of the note receivable from an affiliated company and a $47 million
requirement for property additions.  Temporary advances from affiliates were
reduced by $41 million.

Originally planned property, plant and equipment additions for 1995 total
$155 million.  However, expenditures will be reduced if cash flows from
operations prove to be less than anticipated.  The expenditures exclude costs
of the floating production platform and related facilities for the Garden
Banks project, which are being provided under lease arrangements with an
ENSERCH affiliate.

Total capitalization at March 31, 1995 was $882 million, with common
shareholders' equity representing 82% of the total, virtually unchanged from
year-end 1994.

EEX intends to utilize substantially all of its internally generated cash flow
for growth of the company.  Internally generated cash flow may be supplemented
by borrowings to fund temporary cash deficiencies.  EEX has a $100 million
temporary credit arrangement with ENSERCH of which $57 million was outstanding
at March 31, 1995.  In May, a $350 million independent facility with a group
of banks was arranged.

RECENT EVENTS - Acquisition of DALEN Corporation (DALEN) - On April 13, 1995,
EEX entered into a definitive agreement, subject to regulatory review and
approval, to acquire 100% of the capital stock of DALEN for $340 million and
the refinancing of $115 million of DALEN's bank debt.  The closing is expected
by early June 1995.  The purchase price will be funded initially through EEX
bank lines.  A $150 million bridge loan will be used to refinance DALEN's bank

                                -7-

<PAGE>
debt and reduce advances from ENSERCH.  The bridge loan is expected to be paid
later in the year with the proceeds of a $150 million asset-based financing.
EEX intends to issue common stock in a public offering later this year to
repay all or a portion of the EEX bank line financing used to make the
acquisition.  The common stock issue is expected to increase the public
ownership in EEX from less than 1% to approximately 20%.  DALEN's exploration
and production activities are primarily focused in the Gulf Coast, Gulf of
Mexico and Mid-Continent areas.

Garden Banks - Also in April 1995, a Mobil Corporation affiliate exercised its
option to acquire a 40% working interest in EEX's Garden Banks unit for
undisclosed consideration.  Mobil will also be funding 40% of the costs of the
production system and drilling and completion costs.  Production at Garden
Banks is expected to begin in the third quarter of 1995, with initial
production from the first two wells expected to aggregate approximately nine
thousand barrels per day.  A third well is expected to be drilled and
connected to the system by year-end, with additional wells added throughout
1996.

Green Canyon -  DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M), independent petroleum
engineers, have recently recognized gross proven reserve levels at Green
Canyon Block 254 to be 50 MMBbls of oil and 102 Bcf of natural gas.
Separately, a Mobil Corporation affiliate has signed a letter of intent to
purchase a 40% interest in the Green Canyon project, which is subject to
mutually acceptable consummation documents.  Also, Reading & Bates signed a
letter of intent to purchase a 20% interest in the project.  EEX will have a
40% interest and will remain operator.  The Green Canyon project provides a
significant addition to EEX's proven reserves.  Proven reserves for EEX
recognized by D&M at December 31, 1994, which did not include the Green Canyon
project, were 46.1 MMBbls of oil and 1,042 Bcf of natural gas.
