        Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation and Subsidiaries
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  General

    Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (TETCO) and its subsidiaries
    (the Company) are primarily involved in the interstate transportation
    and storage of natural gas.  TETCO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    PanEnergy Corp (PanEnergy).  The interstate natural gas transmission
    and storage operations of TETCO are subject to the rules and
    regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). 
    TETCO meets the criteria and, accordingly, follows the reporting and
    accounting requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards (SFAS) No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types
    of Regulation."  Accordingly, certain net costs totaling $326 million
    at December 31, 1996 have been deferred as regulatory assets for
    amounts recoverable from customers, including costs related to
    environmental matters, FERC Order 636 transition, certain employee
    benefits and the early retirement of debt.  

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
    and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the financial
    statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The
    consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring
    adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
    fair presentation.  Certain amounts for the prior periods have been
    reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to
    the current presentation.  

2.  Rates and Regulatory Proceedings

    When rate cases are pending final FERC approval, a portion of the
    revenues collected by TETCO is subject to possible refund.  The
    Company has established adequate reserves where required for such
    cases.  The following is a summary of significant pending regulatory
    matters. 

    FERC Order 636 and Transition Costs

    TETCO primarily provides transportation and storage services pursuant
    to FERC Order 636.  This order allows pipelines to recover eligible
    costs resulting from implementation of the order (transition costs). 
    On July 16, 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
    Columbia upheld, in general, all aspects of Order 636 and remanded
    certain issues, including recovery of gas supply realignment (GSR)
    costs, for further explanation.  This decision is on appeal to the
    U.S. Supreme Court.  On February 27, 1997, FERC issued an order
    reaffirming the right of interstate pipelines to recover 100% of GSR
    costs.  
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
    TETCO's final and nonappealable Order 636 settlement, implemented in
    1994, provides for the recovery of a significant portion of
    transition costs through volumetric and reservation charges through
    2002 and beyond, if necessary.  Pursuant to the settlement, TETCO
    will absorb a certain portion of the transition costs, the amount of
    which continues to be subject to change dependent upon natural gas
    prices and contract reserve levels.  

    At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had recorded
    $64.8 million and $235.2 million (1997), and $64.8 million and
    $249.8 million (1996), of current and long-term regulatory assets,
    respectively, representing transition costs incurred or estimated to
    be incurred that will be recovered.  At March 31, 1997 and
    December 31, 1996, the Company had recorded estimated current and
    long-term liabilities related to Order 636 transition costs of
    $115.4 million and $66.6 million (1997), and $84.4 million and
    $121.9 million (1996), respectively.  

    The Company believes the exposure associated with gas purchase
    contract commitments is substantially mitigated by transition cost
    recoveries pursuant to TETCO's settlement, Order 636 and other
    mechanisms, and that this issue will not have a material adverse
    effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
    financial position.  

    In 1993, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced its intention
    to seek additional royalties from gas producers as a result of
    payments received by such producers in connection with past
    take-or-pay settlements, and buyouts and buydowns of gas sales
    contracts with natural gas pipelines.  TETCO, with respect to certain
    producer contract settlements, may be contractually required to
    reimburse or, in some instances, to indemnify producers against such
    royalty claims.  The potential liability of the producers to the
    government and of TETCO to the producers involves complex issues of
    law and fact which are likely to take substantial time to resolve. 
    If required to reimburse or indemnify the producers, TETCO will file
    with FERC to recover a portion of these costs from pipeline
    customers.  The Company believes the resolution of this matter will
    not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
    financial position.  

3.  Environmental Matters 

    TETCO is currently conducting PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) assess-
    ment and cleanup programs at certain of its compressor station sites
    under conditions stipulated by a U.S. Consent Decree.  The programs
    include on- and off-site assessment, installation of on-site source
    control equipment and groundwater monitoring wells, and on- and off-
    site cleanup work.  TETCO expects to complete these cleanup programs
    during 1997.  Groundwater monitoring activities will continue beyond
    1997.  
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
    In 1987, the Commonwealth of Kentucky instituted suit in state court
    against TETCO, alleging improper disposal of PCBs at TETCO's three
    compressor station sites in Kentucky.  This suit, which is still
    pending, seeks penalties for violations of Kentucky environmental
    statutes.  The Company previously established a reserve for potential
    fines and penalties.  In 1996, TETCO completed cleanup of these
    sites.  

    At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had current and
    long-term liabilities recorded of $21.4 million and $133.5 million
    (1997), and $26.1 million and $136.6 million (1996), respectively,
    for remaining estimated cleanup costs.  These estimates represent
    probable gross cleanup costs expected to be incurred, have not been
    discounted or reduced by customer recoveries and do not include
    fines, penalties or third-party claims.  At March 31, 1997 and
    December 31, 1996, the Company had current and long-term regulatory
    assets recorded of $11.1 million and $87.5 million (1997), and
    $10.8 million and $90.4 million (1996), respectively, representing
    estimated costs to be recovered from customers.  

    The federal and state cleanup programs are not expected to interrupt
    or diminish TETCO's ability to deliver natural gas to customers.  The
    Company believes the resolution of matters relating to the
    environmental issues discussed above will not have a material adverse
    effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
    financial position based upon customer settlements and past
    experience with environmental cleanup costs.  

4.  Litigation

    In connection with a rupture and fire that occurred on TETCO's
    36-inch natural gas pipeline on March 23, 1994 in Edison, New Jersey,
    claims have been made and numerous lawsuits have been filed in the
    Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County against TETCO and
    other private and governmental entities by or on behalf of hundreds
    of individuals and businesses.  These claimants seek compensatory
    damages for personal injuries, property losses and/or lost business
    income, as well as punitive damages.  The property insurers of an
    apartment complex adjacent to the asphalt plant where the rupture
    occurred also filed suits against TETCO and other defendants in
    Superior Court seeking to recover amounts paid under pertinent
    policies of insurance.  Quality Materials, Inc. (Quality), the owner
    of the asphalt plant, has filed a claim against TETCO seeking to
    recover unspecified property damages, lost income and punitive
    damages.  TETCO filed a counterclaim against Quality and has settled
    the claims of the property insurers and some individuals and
    businesses, while retaining the right to seek recovery of those
    settlement amounts from other defendants.  

    The findings of an investigation of the incident by the National
    Transportation Safety Board indicate third-party damage to be the
    cause of the rupture.  The Company recorded a provision in 1994 for
    costs related to this incident that are not recoverable under the
    Company's insurance policies.  
<PAGE>
    On August 30, 1995, two plaintiffs filed a lawsuit with class action
    allegations in Jefferson County, Texas, against TETCO, PanEnergy and
    Texas Eastern Corporation (an affiliate), among others.  While that
    suit ultimately was dismissed, one of the two original plaintiffs
    refiled the suit on June 3, 1996 in the Circuit Court of the City of
    St. Louis, Missouri.  The defendants removed the suit to the U.S.
    District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division
    in July 1996.  In March 1997, the case was remanded to the same state
    court in St. Louis.  The plaintiff seeks, in addition to class
    certification, recovery of compensatory and punitive damages, in
    unspecified amounts, for personal injuries and property damage
    resulting from alleged exposure to PCBs.  

    A lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District
    of Columbia by a natural gas producer was served in July 1996 naming
    TETCO and certain affiliated companies as defendants, among others. 
    The action was brought under the federal False Claims Act against
    70 defendants, including every major pipeline, asserting that the
    defendants intentionally underreported volumes and heating content of
    gas purchased from producers on federal and Indian lands, with the
    result that the United States was underpaid royalties.  The plaintiff
    seeks recovery of the royalty amounts due the United States, treble
    damages and civil penalties. TETCO and its affiliated companies, and
    many of the other defendants, were dismissed from the lawsuit on
    March 27, 1997.  The plaintiff retains the right to refile the claims
    against the various defendants under certain conditions.  

    The Company believes the resolution of the legal matters discussed
    above will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
    consolidated results of operations or financial position.  

    On December 16, 1996, TETCO received notification that Marathon Oil
    Company (Marathon) intended to commence substitution of other gas
    reserves, deliverability and leases for those dedicated to a certain
    natural gas purchase contract (the Marathon Contract) with TETCO.  In
    TETCO's view, the tendered substitute gas reserves, deliverability
    and leases are not subject to the Marathon Contract and TETCO filed a
    declaratory judgment action on December 17, 1996 in the U.S. District
    Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana seeking a ruling that
    Marathon's interpretation of the Marathon Contract is incorrect.  On
    January 7, 1997, Marathon filed an answer and a counterclaim to
    TETCO's complaint seeking a declaratory judgment enforcing its
    interpretation of the Marathon Contract.  
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
    On February 18, 1997, Amerada Hess Corporation (Amerada Hess)
    notified TETCO that it intended to commence substitution of other gas
    reserves, deliverability, and leases for those dedicated to its
    natural gas purchase contract (the Amerada Hess Contract) with TETCO. 
    On the same date, Amerada Hess also filed a petition in the District
    Court of Harris County, Texas, 157th Judicial District, seeking a
    declaratory judgment that its interpretation of the Amerada Hess
    Contract, which covers the same leases and reserves as the Marathon
    Contract, is correct.  TETCO removed that suit to the U.S. District
    Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.  TETCO
    also filed a declaratory judgment action with respect to Amerada Hess
    contentions in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
    Louisiana on February 21, 1997.  The Texas action has been
    transferred to the Eastern District of Louisiana.  That suit and the
    Louisiana action filed by TETCO have been transferred to the judge
    presiding over the Marathon Contract matter.  

    The potential liability of the Company should TETCO be contractually
    obligated to purchase natural gas based upon the substitute gas
    reserves, deliverability and leases, and the effect of transition
    cost recoveries pursuant to TETCO's Order 636 settlement involve
    numerous complex legal and factual matters which will take a
    substantial period of time to resolve.  Because these matters are in
    the early stages of litigation, the Company cannot estimate the
    effects of this issue, based on information currently available.  

    The Company is also involved in various other legal actions and
    claims arising in the normal course of business.  Based upon its
    current assessment of the facts and the law, management does not
    believe that the outcome of any such action or claim will have a
    material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated results of
    operations or financial position.  However, these actions and claims
    in the aggregate seek substantial damages against the Company and are
    subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation.  The Company
    is defending itself vigorously in all the above suits.  

5.  Other Matters

    The Company adopted SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
    Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," on
    a prospective basis effective January 1, 1997, with no significant
    impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.  

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

The following information is provided to facilitate increased understanding
of the 1997 and 1996 interim consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes presented in Item 1.  Because all of the outstanding
capital stock of TETCO is owned by PanEnergy, the following discussion has
been prepared in accordance with the reduced disclosure format permitted by
Form 10-Q for issuers that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of reporting
companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

<PAGE>
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

TETCO continues to advance projects that provide expanded services to meet
the specific needs of customers.  In addition to a previously announced
TETCO project that will begin providing firm transportation service later
in 1997, PanEnergy announced the Excelsior(sm) project, which would
increase delivery capability by 500 billion British thermal units per day
through a TETCO connection in New Jersey, and the Spectrum(sm) project,
which would utilize existing and released capacity on PanEnergy's four
interstate pipelines and provide up to 500 billion British thermal units
per day of firm transportation capacity from the Chicago area to the East
Coast.  In addition, TETCO offers selective discounting to further maximize
revenues from existing capacity.  

Order 636 Transition Costs - With implementation of FERC Order 636 and the
unbundling of services, the Company is incurring certain costs related to
the transition, primarily TETCO's gas purchase contract commitments. 
TETCO's gross commitments under gas purchase contracts that do not contain
market-sensitive pricing provisions were approximately $120 million,
$55 million, $50 million and $15 million for the years 1997 through 2000,
respectively, with no significant amounts thereafter.  These estimates
reflect significant assumptions regarding natural gas contract reserves and
prices. 

As a result of the sale in 1996 of the right to collect certain Order 636
transition costs, above-market gas purchase contract payments by TETCO are
expected to exceed transition cost collections from customers through 2000. 

For further discussion of Order 636 transition costs, see Note 2 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  

For information concerning certain other regulatory proceedings, environ-
mental matters and other contingencies, see Notes 2, 3 and 4 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$39 million, compared with $34.5 million for the same period in 1996. 
Natural gas transportation volumes, totaling 381 trillion British thermal
units for the first three months of 1997, decreased 12% as compared with
the same period in 1996.  

Higher operating income drove TETCO's $5.4 million, or 6%, increase in
earnings before interest and tax, comparing the first three months of 1997
with the prior-year period.  The $4.7 million operating income increase was
attributable to higher revenues related to new pipeline expansion projects,
partially offset by severance costs and lower volumes due to warmer
weather.  
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures totaled $6 million in the first three months of 1997,
compared with $7.1 million for the same period in 1996.  Capital
expenditures for 1997 are expected to approximate $170 million, with
market-expansion expenditures comprising 50% of the capital budget. 
Expenditures for 1997 are expected to be funded by cash from operations
and/or collection of intercompany advances receivable.  

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report may contain certain forward-looking information regarding the
Company, including projections, estimates, forecasts, plans, contingencies
and objectives.  Although management believes that all such statements are
based upon reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that the
actual results will not differ materially from those contained in such
forward-looking statements.  

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but
are not limited to, general economic conditions, natural gas and liquids
prices, competition from other pipelines and alternative fuels, weather
conditions, state and federal regulation, legal and regulatory proceedings,
the development of new markets, services and products, and the condition of
the capital markets utilized by the Company.
