1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

   The following description of the Employees' Thrift Plan of the Texas
Utilities Company System (Plan) is provided for general information purposes
only. Reference is made to the Plan document for more complete information.

   General -- The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by Texas
Utilities Company and its subsidiaries (Employer-corporations). In 1990, the
Plan was amended to establish a leveraged employee stock ownership provision.
(See Note 3.) The Employees' Thrift Plan Committee manages the operation and
administration of the Plan. Mellon Bank, N.A. serves as trustee (Trustee) and
manages the assets of the Plan. The Plan was again amended on January 1, 1993.
Such amendments to the Plan, among other things, established a pre-tax feature
in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (Code). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

   The plan is intended to be a participant directed "individual account plan"
under ERISA Section 404(c).  As such, the fiduciaries of the Plan are not liable
for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of participant
investment decisions. Participation in the Plan by employees of the Employer-
corporations after meeting certain requirements is entirely voluntary.

   The Plan, as amended, consists of seven investment options, or funds:

     . Common Stock of Texas Utilities Company (Common Stock) -- invests
       exclusively in Common Stock of Texas Utilities Company (Company);
     . Investment Grade Bond Index Fund (Bond Index Fund) -- purchases units in
       the Vanguard Bond Index Fund -- Total Bond Market Portfolio, consisting
       primarily of United States Government and corporate bonds and mortgage-
       backed securities (represents reinvestment of assets following 
       liquidation of Bond Fund described below);
     . Interest Income Fund -- invests in contracts with insurance companies and
       other financial institutions (formerly titled Guaranteed Fixed Income);
     . Equity Income Fund -- purchases units in the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund,
       which consists primarily of income-producing equity securities (formerly
       titled Equity Fund);
     . Equity Index Fund -- purchases units in the Fidelity U. S. Equity Index
       Portfolio, which consists primarily of common stocks included in the
       Standard & Poor's 500 Index;
     . Balanced Fund -- purchases units in the Phoenix Balanced Fund Series,
       which consists primarily of investments in common stock and fixed income
       securities; and
     . Equity Growth Fund -- purchases units in the IDS New Dimensions Fund,
       which invests primarily in common stocks of companies showing potential
       for significant growth, and also invests in foreign securities and
       futures transactions.

   Prior to the 1993 amendments, the Plan consisted of four investment options,
or funds:

     . Common Stock -- invested exclusively in Common Stock of the Company;
     . Bond Fund -- invested in United States Government obligations;
     . Guaranteed Fixed Income Fund -- invested in contracts with insurance
       companies and banks; and
     . Equity Fund -- purchased units in the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, which
       consists primarily of income-producing equity securities.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN -- (continued)

   Eligibility, Participation and Employee Savings -- Any regular employee of an
Employer-corporation is eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of
at least six months of service prior to the date the employee's participation is
to be effective. A regular employee is one who normally completes at least 1,000
hours of service during any twelve-month period.

   Under the Plan, except as limited by law, a participating employee may
invest, through pre-tax salary deferrals (Salary Deferrals) or after tax payroll
deductions (Payroll Deductions) each payroll period, a specified amount ranging
from 1% to 6% (2% to 6% prior to 1993) of regular salary or wages (Basic
Employee Savings). Participants electing the maximum Basic Employee Savings
investment may also invest, through Salary Deferrals or Payroll Deductions each
payroll period, an additional 1% to 10% (1% to 6% prior to 1993) of regular
salary or wages (Supplemental Employee Savings).

   Employer Contributions -- Contributions to participant accounts by the
Employer-corporations are made based on the participants' Basic Employee Savings
and years of service as follows:

          Less than 10 years..................40%
          10 years but less than 25 years.....50%
          25 years or more....................60%

   No employer contributions are made with respect to Supplemental Employee
Savings.

   Investment of Funds -- All employer contributions, except as provided below,
are invested in Common Stock of the Company; however, each participant has the
following expanded options with respect to the investment of Basic and
Supplemental Employee Savings:

   100% in Common Stock;
   100% in Bond Index Fund;
   100% in Interest Income Fund;
   100% in Equity Income Fund;
   100% in Equity Index Fund;
   100% in Balanced Fund;
   100% in Equity Growth Fund; and
   Multiples (not less than 10% each) of the investment options listed above.

   Prior to 1993, each participant had the following options with respect to the
investment of Basic and Supplemental Employee Savings:

   100% in Common Stock;
   100% in Bond Fund;
   100% in Guaranteed Fixed Income Fund;
   100% in Equity Fund; and
   Multiples (not less than 25% each) of the investment options listed above.

   A participant may change selected investment options for Employee Savings as
often as once a quarter by liquidating the investments attributable to Basic and
Supplemental Employee Savings and reinvesting such amounts in other investment
options under the Plan.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - (continued)

   A participant who has completed at least ten years of Plan participation and
attained age 55 may annually instruct the Trustee to diversify up to 25% of such
participant's employer contributions account (reduced by amounts previously so
diversified) in the same proportion as the participant may diversify such Basic
and Supplemental Employee Savings.  At age 60, a participant may annually
diversify up to 50% of such employer contributions account (reduced by amounts
previously so diversified).

   Unit Values - Participants do not have beneficial ownership in specific
securities or other assets in the various funds other than Common Stock, but
have an interest therein represented by units valued as of the last business day
of each month.  Generally, contributions to and withdrawal payments from each
fund are converted to units by dividing the amounts of such transactions by the
unit value as last determined, and the appropriate account is charged or
credited with the number of units properly attributable to the participant.

   Voting of Common Stock - Each participant may give the Trustee confidential
written instructions with respect to the voting, at any meeting of shareholders,
of the Common Stock allocated to the participant's account. Effective January 1,
1993, the unallocated Common Stock held in the stock bonus component of the Plan
may be voted by the Trustee in its discretion unless otherwise directed pursuant
to a voting procedure agreement.  Prior to January 1, 1993, the Trustee was
required to vote any unallocated Common Stock, as well as any Common Stock held
in a participant's account where the Trustee had not received written voting
instructions from the participant at least ten days prior to the date of the
meeting at which the vote was to be taken, provided that unallocated Common
Stock held in the stock bonus component of the Plan would be voted by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, in the same proportion as the Common
Stock allocated to participants' accounts was voted.  There was no change in the
voting requirements for allocated shares where the Trustee was not provided
voting instructions by the participant.

   Withdrawal from the Plan - A participant may withdraw a portion of Basic and
Supplemental Employee Savings without necessitating a total withdrawal from the
Plan and may exercise the limited privilege of partial withdrawal at any time
after twelve months of participation in the Plan.  Partial withdrawal may be in
any amount up to 90% of the current value of the participant's Basic and
Supplemental Employee Savings, or 90% of market value, whichever is less.  A
further partial withdrawal by a participant may not be made until after the
expiration of twelve months following the last previous partial withdrawal.

   In the event of a partial withdrawal, such amount will be paid to the
participant in cash or in shares of Common Stock to the extent such stock is
held in the participant's account for Basic and Supplemental Employee Savings,
at the option of the participant.  No partial withdrawal may be made of Elective
Deferrals, Rollover Contributions, Employer contributions, or income from such
deferrals or contributions.  A participant may repay to the Trustee the amounts
of any partial withdrawal made after January 1, 1976, at any time.  Partial
withdrawal by a participant does not terminate participation in the Plan.

   A participant may withdraw entirely from the Plan at any time even though the
participant continues in the employ of an Employer-corporation, except that
Elective Deferrals and Rollover Contributions cannot be withdrawn until age 59-
1/2.  Following total withdrawal, an employee will be ineligible to reenter the
Plan for a period of twelve months.  Total withdrawal is also effected upon
termination of employment.  However,  if a participant, upon termination of
employment, does not consent to a distribution of all accounts, and the
aggregate value of such accounts exceeds $3,500, such accounts shall be
liquidated and reinvested to be held in an interest bearing account until
distribution.  In the event of total withdrawal, that portion of the
participant's account which was derived from Basic and Supplemental Employee
Savings will be distributed in full to the participant or, in case of death, to
the participant's beneficiary.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - (continued)

   In the event of total withdrawal due to participant's retirement or due to
permanent and total disability or death of the participant, that portion of the
participant's account which was derived from employer contributions will also be
distributed in full to the participant or, in case of death, to the
participant's beneficiary.

   In the event of total withdrawal by a participant who continues in the employ
of an Employer-corporation or terminates employment due to reasons other than
those discussed above, that portion of the participant's account which was
derived from employer contributions shall be distributed to the participant only
to the extent shown in the following Vesting Schedule which is dependent upon
the participant's years of vesting service:

             Years of                       Percentage of Total
             Service                       Employer Contributions
             --------                      ----------------------

             Under 3 ....................           None
                 3   ....................            30%
                 4   ....................            40%
                 5   ....................            60%
                 6   ....................            80%
                 7   ....................           100%

    Participants making withdrawals, other than partial withdrawals, may choose
from the following optional forms of payment: (a) shares of Common Stock and/or
publicly traded Fund units (to the extent permitted by the Fund) credited to a
participant's account; (b) single lump sum cash payment; or (c) a combination of
(a) and (b).

    After a distribution in accordance with the above Vesting Schedule, any
remainder of employer contributions in the participant's account is forfeited
and used by the Employer-corporation to reduce the amount of current employer
contributions.

    In the event of a total withdrawal made after January 1, 1976, by a
participant who is not 100% vested, the participant may repay to the Plan the
amount of such distribution at any time prior to the close of the Plan  Year in
which the participant has completed five consecutive Break-in-Service years and
any amounts previously forfeited will be restored to the participant's account.

    The 401(k) feature allows participants to borrow a portion of their vested
401(k) account balance and repay such amount according to a predetermined
schedule.  In addition, participants may, after meeting certain qualifications
as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), withdraw a portion of their
vested 401(k) account balance based on a hardship qualification.

    Federal Income Taxes - The Company has been advised by the IRS that the Plan
meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, as to form; that the Trust
established thereunder is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a)
of the Code; and that employer contributions paid to the Trust under the Plan
are allowable federal income tax deductions to the Employer-corporations subject
to the conditions and limitations of Section 404 of the Code.

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - (continued)

    Based on the Code and regulations issued pursuant thereto:

    (a) Employer contributions under the Plan, and dividends, interest and other
        income from Trust Assets are not taxable to the participant when
        received by the Trustee and credited to the participant's account.

    (b) Basic and Supplemental Employee Savings made by Payroll Deduction are
        not deductible on the participant's federal income tax return.

    (c) Basic and Supplemental Employee Savings which are Employee Elective
        Deferrals reduce a participant's gross compensation as reported on Form
        W-2 and are not taxable to the participant when received by the Trustee
        and credited to the participant's account.

    (d) Partial withdrawal of employee savings which were contributed to the
        Plan through Payroll Deductions prior to January 1, 1987, represent a
        return of employee savings and are not taxable to the participant when
        withdrawn.  Partial withdrawals of employee savings which were
        contributed to the Plan through Payroll Deductions after December 31,
        1986, are considered to include, for income tax purposes, an amount of
        taxable income.

    (e) A total withdrawal generally results in taxable income to the
        participant equal to the gross distribution less Basic and Supplemental
        Employee Savings made by Payroll Deduction. However, if the total
        withdrawal meets the lump sum distribution requirements of the Code, (i)
        any net unrealized appreciation in the value of distributable Common
        Stock at the time of distribution will be tax deferred; (ii) any
        additional appreciation in the value of Common Stock from the time of
        distribution to the time of stock sale or disposition will be treated as
        short-term or long-term capital gain depending on the period the
        participant holds such stock; and (iii) the taxable amount may be
        eligible for the special forward averaging provisions of the Code.

    (f) The taxable amount of a total or partial withdrawal may generally be
        rolled over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other qualified
        plan and payment of taxes may thereby be deferred, subject to automatic
        income tax withholding of twenty percent (20%) on amounts not
        distributed in Common Stock.

    (g) The taxable amount of an account, subject to total and partial
        withdrawal provisions, can be transferred directly to an IRA or other
        qualified plan and payment of taxes may thereby be deferred.

    Participants are encouraged to determine the effect on the participant's
federal income tax liability of receiving distributions from the Plan.

    Other Events -- The Employee Stock Ownership Plan of the Texas Utilities
Company System (ESOP) was terminated on December 31, 1993. The ESOP was
liquidated and all remaining assets were transferred to the Plan on November 29,
1993. In addition, the Savings Plan and Trust Agreement for Employees of
Southwestern Electric Service Company (SESCO Plan) was merged into the Plan
effective January 1, 1994. However, the SESCO Plan was actually liquidated and
all remaining assets were transferred to the Plan on December 29, 1993. Such
assets were invested by individual participants effective January 4, 1994.
Included in cash of the Plan for the year 1993 is $6,720,612 reflecting such
SESCO assets. Both events did not have a material effect on the Plan.

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN -- (concluded)

    Amendment, Modification, Suspension and Termination --  It is the intention
of the Company to continue the Plan indefinitely; however, the Company, by
action of its Board of Directors, may amend, modify or suspend the Plan at any
time, or from time to time, and may terminate the Plan at any time; and any
Employer-corporation may withdraw from participation in the Plan at any time
upon thirty days notice.

    In the event of termination of the Plan in whole or in part or termination
of participation of any  Employer-corporation, each participant in the Plan
affected by such termination shall receive a distribution of the entire balance
in the participant's account, whether derived from Basic and Supplemental
Employee Savings or employer contributions.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Valuation of Investment Securities -- Participant investments in Common
Stock, Bond Index Fund, Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Balanced Fund,
and Equity Growth Fund are accounted for as units and stated at fair value based
upon closing sales prices on recognized securities exchanges on the last
business day of the fiscal year. The Interest Income Fund insurance contracts
are valued at contract value, and the financial institution investment contracts
are valued at contract value, which approximates fair value. Contract value
represents contributions made by participants, plus interest at the contract
rates, less withdrawals or transfers by participants.

    Distributions Payable to Participants -- In 1993, the Plan changed its
method of accounting for distributions payable to participants to comply with
the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans".
The new guidance requires that benefits payable to participants who have
withdrawn from participation in a defined contribution plan remain as a part of
the net assets available for benefits rather than be recorded as a liability of
the Plan. The effect of this change in accounting did not increase net assets in
1993. As of December 31, 1993, net assets available for benefits did not include
any amounts due to participants who have withdrawn from participation in the
Plan.

    Expenses -- All costs and expenses of the Plan and its administration,
except expenses incurred in the acquisition or disposition of investments, are
paid by the Employer-corporations.

3.  LEVERAGED EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PROVISION

    In 1990, the Trustee, on behalf of the Plan, borrowed $250,000,000 in the
form of a note payable from an outside lender and purchased 7,142,857 shares of
Common Stock of the Company in connection with the leveraged employee stock
ownership provision (LESOP) of the Plan. The note was purchased from the lender
by the Company later in 1990. The note payable requires repayment of principal
over 17 years beginning in 1998. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the note payable
bore interest at a fixed rate of 9.81% following its conversion in January 1992
from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The note payable is collateralized by
6,303,251 unallocated shares held by the Trustee at December 31, 1993.

    The LESOP shares are held by the Trustee until released and allocated to
participants' accounts proportionally based on current debt service payments
including interest to total debt service payments. Debt service payments are
made by the Plan from dividends received on the unallocated shares and, if
necessary, contributions from Employer-corporations. The market value of shares
released reduces the cash requirements of the Employer-corporations for their
funding obligation under the Plan. The number of LESOP shares released and
allocated to participant accounts during the plan year 1993 was 231,865 and
225,014, respectively, and during the plan year 1992 was 230,639 and 205,597,
respectively.

4.  UNIT VALUES

    Units in each fund at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and net asset value per
unit, are presented below. Net asset value per share for Common Stock excludes
amounts for the market value of unallocated LESOP shares and the related note
payable. The Common Stock at December 31, 1993 includes 19,994 shares to be
allocated to individual accounts and 31,893 shares to be allocated through the
Employer-corporations funding obligation in the subsequent period. The Common
Stock at December 31, 1992 included 12,840 shares to be allocated to individual
accounts in the subsequent period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Employees' Thrift Plan Committee
Employees' Thrift Plan of the
 Texas Utilities Company System:

We have audited, by fund and in total, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of the Employees' Thrift Plan of the Texas Utilities
Company System as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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, such financial statements present fairly, by fund and in total,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules
of (1) assets held for investment at December 31, 1993, and (2) reportable
transactions (transactions in excess of 5% of the fair value of plan assets) for
the year ended December 31, 1993, are presented for the purpose 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.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 1993 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
