Item 1. Business.
General Development of Business
The Company And Its Subsidiaries
TNP Enterprises, Inc. (Company) is a Texas corporation organized in February 1983. The Company owns all of the outstanding common stock of its three subsidiaries: Texas-New Mexico Power Company (Utility), its principal operating subsidiary; Bayport Cogeneration, Inc. (Bayport); and TNP Operating Company. The Company and the Utility are holding companies as defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act but each is exempt from regulation as a "registered holding company" as defined in said act. All financial information presented herein or incorporated by reference is on a consolidated basis and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Texas-New Mexico Power Company
Texas-New Mexico Power Company is a public utility engaged in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to customers within the States of Texas and New Mexico. The Utility is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of Arizona. Business conducted in Arizona is limited to ownership as tenant-in-common with two other electric utility corporations in a 345-KV electric transmission line which transmits electrical energy into New Mexico for sale to customers in New Mexico.
The Utility is subject to regulation by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the New Mexico Public Utility Commission (NMPUC). The Utility is subject in some of its activities, including the issuance of securities, to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and its accounting records are maintained in accordance with the FERC Uniform System of Accounts.
The Utility has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Texas Generating Company (TGC), organized in 1988, and Texas Generating Company II (TGC II), organized in 1991.
TNP One
Prior to 1990, the Utility purchased virtually all of its electric requirements, primarily from other utilities. In an effort to diversify its energy and fuel sources, the Utility contracted with a consortium consisting of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Combustion Engineering, Inc. and H. B. Zachry Company to construct TNP One. TNP One is a two-unit lignite-fueled, circulating fluidized bed generating plant in Robertson County, Texas. Unit 1 and Unit 2 of TNP One together provide, on an annualized basis, approximately 30% of the Utility's electric capacity requirements in Texas. The Utility acquired Unit 1 on July 20, 1990, and Unit 2 on July 26, 1991, through TGC and TGC II, respectively. The Utility operates the two units and sells the output of TNP One to its Texas customers. Unit 1 began commercial operation on September 12, 1990, and Unit 2 on October 16, 1991. As of December 31, 1993, the costs of Unit 1 and Unit 2 were approximately $357 million and approximately $282.9 million, respectively. Portions of the costs were funded by the Utility, with the majority of the costs borrowed by TGC and TGC II under separate financing facilities for the two units, which are guaranteed by the Utility.

Regulatory Proceedings
The Utility has received rate orders from the PUCT placing the majority of the costs of each of the two units of TNP One in rate base. The Utility and other parties to the proceedings have appealed both orders. For a review of the history of the two rate proceedings and the pending judicial proceedings, see Item 3, "Legal Proceedings" and note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993 for a discussion of the financings of the two units including, during 1993, substantial reduction of the TNP One construction indebtedness and extension of the payment schedule for the remaining balance of the construction debt. For a discussion of the effects of the construction and financing of TNP One on the Utility's financial condition, including the detrimental regulatory treatment received to date, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Business of Other Subsidiaries
TNP Operating Company and Bayport are general purpose corporations organized under the Texas Business Corporation Act. Neither company was materially involved in any business activities during 1993.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
This information is incorporated by reference to page 37 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. It is not possible to attribute operating profit or loss and identifiable assets to each of the classes of customers listed on the page referred to in said Annual Report.
Kilowatt-hour (KWH) sales in 1993 were assisted by more typical weather experienced in 1993 as compared to 1992. KWH sales declined in 1992 from 1991 due in part to milder than normal temperatures in the Utility's service area in Texas; however, revenues were approximately the same for the two years due primarily to an increase in the Utility's Texas customers' rates in 1992. Also contributing to the sales decline was the failure of new customers and revenues to materialize as expected within the industrial class to ameliorate the loss of KWH sales to certain industrial customers. During 1993, the number of industrial customers decreased by 14, but that decrease included the consolidation of 10 customers into 2 customers for billing purposes and the reclassification of 3 customers to the commercial class of customers.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993 for a discussion of the changes in operating revenues, including rate increases.
Narrative Description of Business
The Company is a holding company as defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, but is exempt from regulation as a "registered holding company" under the act except with respect to the acquisition of securities of other public utility companies. The Company's exemption is based upon the substantially intrastate character of the operations of the Utility, and the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of an annual exemption statement pursuant to its Rule U-2. The Public Utility Holding Company Act authorizes the SEC to terminate an exemption which it determines to be detrimental to the public interest or to the interest of investors or consumers. Therefore, the extent to which the Company and its nonutility subsidiaries may expand or diversify and maintain the Company's exempt status is always subject to review by the SEC. The Company does not intend to take any action which will jeopardize its exempt status.
TNP ENTERPRISES, INC. FORM 10-K
The Company is not subject to regulation by the PUCT. The Company is not generally subject to regulation by the NMPSC; the NMPSC statutes do not regulate holding companies except under certain circumstances of consolidation, merger, or acquisition. Both of these agencies have regulatory authority under state laws over the activities of the Utility. The Utility, and not the Company, is also subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC, in certain respects, under the terms of the Federal Power Act.
Narrative Description of Utility Business
General
The Utility purchases and generates electricity for sales to its customers wholly within the States of Texas and New Mexico. The Utility's purchases of electricity are primarily from other utilities and cogenerators (see "Sources of Energy" in this section). The Utility's current generation of electricity is from TNP One.
The Utility owns and operates electric transmission and distribution facilities in 90 municipalities and adjacent rural areas in Texas and New Mexico. The areas served contain a population of approximately 616,000. The Utility's service is delivered to customers in four operating divisions in Texas and one operating division in New Mexico.
The Utility's Southeast Division, on the Texas Gulf Coast, is adjacent to the Johnson Space Center and lies between the cities of Houston and Galveston. The economy is supported by the oil and petrochemical industries, agriculture and the general commercial activity of the Houston area. This division produced 49.5% of the total operating revenues in 1993. The Utility's Northern Division is based in Lewisville, just north of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and extends to include municipalities along the Red River and in the Texas Panhandle. This division serves a variety of commercial, agricultural and petroleum industry customers and produced 19.5% of the Utility's revenues in 1993. The economy of the Utility's New Mexico Division is primarily dependent upon mining and agriculture. Copper mines are the major industrial customers in the New Mexico Division. This division produced 16.8% of the total operating revenues in 1993. The Utility's Central Division includes municipalities and communities located to the south and west of Fort Worth. This area's economy is largely dependent on agriculture and to lesser degrees tourism and oil production. In far west Texas, between Midland and El Paso, the Utility's Western Division serves municipalities whose economies are primarily related to oil and gas production, agriculture and food processing.
The Utility serves and intends to continue serving members of the public in all of its present service areas. The Utility will construct facilities as needed to meet increasing demand for its service. The Utility will also extend service beyond its present service territories to the extent permitted by law and the orders of regulatory commissions. For a description of the properties utilized to provide this service, see Item 2, "Properties."
Operating Revenues
Revenues contributed by the Utility's operating divisions in 1993, 1992 and 1991 and the corresponding percentages of total operating revenues are shown below:
1993 1992 1991 Operating Revenues Revenues Revenues Division (000's) %'s (000's) %'s (000's) %'s Central $39,460 8.3% $ 35,421 8.0% $ 34,625 7.8% Northern 92,265 19.5 83,626 18.9 84,227 19.1 Southeast 234,895 49.5 222,460 50.1 220,581 50.0 Western 28,084 5.9 27,193 6.1 27,487 6.2 New Mexico 79,538 16.8 75,127 16.9 74,423 16.9 Total $474,242 100.0% $443,827 100.0% $441,343 100.0%
TNP ENTERPRISES, INC. FORM 10-K
In 1993, 1992 and 1991, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of operating revenues, although the Utility has two affiliated industrial customers in the New Mexico Division which, together, contributed between 8% and 10% of the Utility's revenues in each of these years.
Sources of Energy
Information on the "Sources of Energy" of the Utility is incorporated herein by reference to pages 4 and 5 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Recovery of Purchased Power and Fuel Costs
Purchased power cost recovery adjustment clauses in the Utility's rate schedules have been authorized by the regulatory authorities in Texas and New Mexico. A fixed fuel recovery factor in Texas has also been approved. Both are of substantial benefit to the Utility in efforts to recover timely and adequately these significant elements of operating expenses as described in note 1(g) to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Franchises
The Utility holds franchises from each of the 90 municipalities in which it renders electric service. On December 31, 1993, these franchises had expiration dates varying from 1994 to 2039, 86 having stated terms of 25 years or more and two having stated terms of 20 years and two having stated terms of 15 years. The Utility also holds certificates of public convenience and necessity from the PUCT covering all of the territories it serves in Texas. The Utility has been issued certificates for other areas after hearings before the PUCT. These certificates include terms which are customary in the public utility industry. In New Mexico, the Utility operates generally under the grandfather clause of that state's Public Utility Act which authorizes the continuance of existing service following the date of the adoption of such act.
Seasonality of Business
The Utility's business is seasonal in character. Summer weather causes increased use of air-conditioning equipment which produces higher revenues during the months of June, July, August and September. For the year ended December 31, 1993, approximately 40% of annual revenues were recorded in June, July, August and September, and 60% in the other eight months.
Working Capital
The Utility's major demands on working capital are (1) the monthly payments for purchased power costs from the Utility's suppliers, (2) monthly and semi-annual interest payments on long-term debt and (3) semi-monthly payments for the lignite fuel source for TNP One. The purchased power and fuel costs are eventually recovered through the Utility's customers' rates and the purchased power and fuel costs recovery adjustment clauses and fixed fuel factors, more fully described in note 1(g) to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Unlike many other generating utilities, the Utility does not have the requirement of maintaining a large fuel inventory (lignite) due to the proximity of TNP One with the lignite mine site.
The Utility sells customer receivables, as do many other utilities. The Utility sells its customer receivables to a nonaffiliated company on a nonrecourse basis.
TNP ENTERPRISES, INC. FORM 10-K
Competitive Conditions
As a regulated public utility, the Utility operates with little direct competition throughout most of its service territory. Pursuant to the Texas Public Utility Regulatory Act, the PUCT has issued to all electric utilities in the State certificates of public convenience and necessity authorizing them to render elec- tric service. Rural electric cooperatives, investor-owned electric utilities and municipally owned electric utilities are all defined in such act as public utilities. In 72 of the 81 Texas municipalities served, the Utility has been the only electric utility issued a certificate to serve customers within the municipal limits. The Utility is also the only electric utility authorized to serve customers in some of the rural areas where it has electric facilities. In other rural areas served by the Utility, other electric utilities have also been authorized to serve customers; however, rural electric cooperatives may, under certain circumstances, become exempt from the PUCT's rate regulation. Where other electric utilities have also been certificated to serve customers within the same service area, the Utility may be subject to competition.
From time to time, industrial customers of the Utility express interest in cogeneration as a method of reducing or eliminating reliance upon the Utility as a source of electric service, or to lower fuel costs and improve operating efficiency of process steam generation. During 1993, a major industrial customer in the Utility's Southeast Division requested proposals for a cogeneration project for evaluation by the customer. The Utility's operating revenues from this customer during 1993 were approximately $28 million. In January 1994, a potential developer for the proposed project was selected by the customer. The Utility's goal is to retain this customer and to lower overall system operating costs through coordination with the potential developer. Although the Utility cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the process, the current project as proposed by the customer, and as outlined by the potential developer, appears to present a means by which the Utility may retain electric service to this customer, at current levels. The Utility is actively pursuing the development of the necessary agreements with the potential developer to further define the degree to which electric service to this customer is retained and overall system operating costs may be lowered.
In New Mexico, a utility subject to the jurisdiction of the NMPUC may not extend into territory served by another utility or into territory not contiguous to its service territory without a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the NMPUC. Investor-owned electric utilities and rural electric cooperatives are subject to the jurisdiction of the NMPUC.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992, adopted in October 1992, significantly changed the U.S. energy policy, including the governing of the electric utility industry. Among the features of this act is the creation of Exempt Wholesale Generators and the authorization of the FERC to order, on a case-by-case basis, wholesale transmission access. It appears that these particular features will create competition for the generation and supply of electricity. Management continues to evaluate the effects of this act on the Utility. Although the act may not affect the Utility directly, the Utility believes that this increased competition will not have an unfavorable impact on it.
Environmental Requirements
Environmental requirements are not expected to materially affect capital outlays or materially affect the Utility directly. As the Utility's electric suppliers may be affected by environmental requirements and resulting costs, the rates charged by them to the Utility may be increased and thus the Utility will be affected indirectly.
The Utility's facilities in Texas and New Mexico are regulated by federal and state environmental agencies. These agencies have jurisdiction over air emissions, water quality, wastewater discharges, solid wastes and hazardous substances. The Utility maintains continuous procedures to insure compliance with all applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations. Various Utility activities require permits, licenses, registrations and approvals from such agencies. The Utility has received all necessary authorizations for the construction and continued operation of its generation, transmission and distribution systems.
TNP ENTERPRISES, INC. FORM 10-K
TNP One's circulating fluidized bed technology produces "clean" emissions, without the addition of costly scrubbers. Unit 1 and Unit 2 meet the standards of the Clean Air Act of 1990. Under this act, an entity will be given an allotted number of allowances which permit emissions up to a specified level. The Utility believes the allowances received to be sufficient for the level of emissions to be created by TNP One.
The construction costs for TNP One included approximately $89 million for environmental protection facilities. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, as an ongoing operation of air pollution abatement, including ash removal, TNP One incurred expenses of approximately $2.6 million, $2.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Utility anticipates additional capital expenditures of $875,000 by 1995 for air emissions monitoring equipment for TNP One.
The operations of the Utility are subject to a number of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which govern the storage of motor fuels, including those regulating underground storage tanks. In September 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued regulations that required all newly installed underground storage tanks be protected from corrosion, be equipped with devices to prevent spills and overfills, and have a leak detection method that meets certain minimum requirements. The effective commencement date for newly installed tanks was December 22, 1988. Underground storage tanks in place prior to December 22, 1988, must conform to the new standards by December 1998. The Utility currently estimates the cost over the next five years to bring its existing underground storage tanks into compliance with the EPA guidelines will be $100,000. The Utility also has the option of removing any existing underground storage tanks.
During 1993, 1992, and 1991, the Utility incurred cleanup and testing costs on both leaking and nonleaking storage tanks of approximately $98,000, $89,000, and $84,000, respectively, in complying with these EPA regulations. A change in the regulations in the State of Texas permitted the Utility to collect in 1992 from the state environmental trust fund $65,000 of expenditures paid in prior years.
Both states in which the Utility owns or operates underground storage tanks have state operated funds which reimburse the Utility for certain cleanup costs and liabilities incurred as a result of leaks in underground storage tanks. These funds, which essentially provide insurance coverage for certain environmental liabilities, are funded by taxes on underground storage tanks or on motor fuels purchased within each respective state. The funds require the Utility to pay deductibles of less than $5,000 per occurrence. During 1992, the Texas state environmental trust fund delayed reimbursement payments after September 30, 1992, of certain cleanup costs due to an increase in claims. Because the state and federal government have the right, by law, to levy additional fees on fuel purchases, the Utility believes these cleanup costs will ultimately be reimbursed.

The number of employees on December 31, 1993, was 1,051.

Item 2. Properties.
The Utility's electric properties served a total of 211,911 customers at year-end and consisted of the installations described in the following sections.
(1) Electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities located in the State of Texas are as follows:
(A) Central Division. Electric transmission and distribution sys- tems serving 25 municipalities and 18 unincorporated communities in 17 counties to the south and west of Fort Worth, Texas. The division is based at Clifton, Texas.
(B) Northern Division. Electric transmission and distribution systems serving 36 municipalities and 19 unincorporated communities in 14 North Texas counties and 3 counties in the Texas Panhandle. The division is based at Lewisville, Texas.
(C) Southeast Division. Electric transmission and distribution systems serving 14 municipalities and 2 unincorporated communities in 3 counties on the Texas Gulf Coast. The division is based at Texas City, Texas.
(D) Western Division. Electric transmission and distribution sys- tems serving 6 municipalities and 1 unincorporated community in 5 counties in West Texas. The division is based at Pecos, Texas.
(E) Robertson County, Texas. Two 150-megawatt lignite-fueled generating units (Unit 1 and Unit 2, collectively referred to as TNP One) using circulating fluidized bed technology. The Utility also has an 18-mile long transmission line to connect TNP One to a major transmission grid in Texas.
(2) Electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities in the State of New Mexico serve 5 municipalities and 5 unincorporated communities in Grant and Hidalgo Counties, and 4 municipalities and 1 unincorporated community in Otero and Lincoln Counties. The New Mexico Division is based at Silver City, New Mexico.
(3) The facilities owned by the Utility include those normally used in the electric utility business. The facilities are of sufficient capacity to adequately serve existing customers, and such facilities may be extended and expanded to serve future customer growth of the Utility in existing service areas. The Utility generally constructs its transmission and distribution facilities upon real property held pursuant to easements or public rights of way and not upon real property held in fee simple by the Utility.
(4) All real and personal property of the Utility, with certain exceptions such as much of TNP One, is subject to the lien of the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust (Bond Indenture) under which the Utility's First Mortgage Bonds are issued. Certain exceptions are set forth in the Bond Indenture. The lenders in the Unit 2 financing facility and the holders of all secured debentures hold a second lien on all real and personal Texas property of the Utility.
Holders of the Utility's Secured Debentures, due 1999 and Series A, Secured Debentures, due 2003 equally and ratably hold first liens on approximately 59% of Unit 1. The remaining amount of Unit 1 property is subject to a first lien under the Utility's Bond Indenture and a second lien under the secured debentures' indentures.
The lenders under the Unit 2 financing facility and the Utility's Secured Debentures, due 1999, equally and ratably hold first liens on approximately 74% of Unit 2. The remaining amount of Unit 2 property is subject to a first lien under the Utility's Bond Indenture and a second lien under the secured debentures' indentures.
Under certain conditions, upon repayment of portions of the loans or secured debentures under the financing facilities, the Utility may purchase undivided interests in Unit 1 or Unit 2 from TGC or TGC II, respectively, whereupon such undivided interests become subject to the first lien of the Utility's Bond Indenture.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Appeals of Regulatory Orders
The following summary discusses the Utility's most recent regulatory proceedings before the PUCT and the judicial appeals. While the ultimate outcome of these cases and of other matters discussed below cannot be predicted, the Utility is vigorously pursuing their favorable conclusion. Material adverse resolution of certain of the matters discussed below would have a material adverse impact on earnings in the period of resolution. More detailed discussions of the proceedings and related impacts are included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
PUCT Docket No. 9491
On April 11, 1990, the Utility filed a rate application, Docket No. 9491, with the PUCT for inclusion of the costs of Unit 1 in the Utility's rate base and for the setting of rates to recover the costs of that unit. On February 7, 1991, the Utility received a final order which allowed $298.5 million of the costs of Unit 1 in rate base; however, the PUCT disallowed from rate base $39.5 million of the requested investment costs of $338 million for that unit. The PUCT approved an increase in annualized revenues of approximately $36.7 million, or 67% of the Utility's original $54.9 million rate request. The PUCT also found that the Utility failed to prove that its decision to start construction of Unit 2 was prudent. Nevertheless, the PUCT granted rate base treatment for Unit 2 in Docket No. 10200, as discussed below.
On appeal by the Utility of the PUCT's order in Docket No. 9491, a State district court in Travis County, Texas, ruled that the PUCT's disallowance of rate base treatment for certain costs of Unit 1 was in error and that the PUCT's "decision to deny $39,508,409 in capital costs for TNP One Unit 1 is not supported by substantial evidence and is arbitrary and capricious."
On appeal of the State district court's order by the Utility, the PUCT and certain of the intervenor cities (the Cities), a Third District Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas, rendered a judgment partially reversing the State district court and affirming the PUCT's disallowances for $30.4 million of the total $39.5 million. The Court of Appeals remanded the cause to the district court with instructions that the cause be remanded to the PUCT for proceedings not inconsistent with the appellate opinion.
On September 9, 1993, the Utility, the Cities and the PUCT filed motions for rehearing with the Court of Appeals. The Utility's opponents are seeking, among other things, lower rates and greater disallowances, and the Utility is seeking higher rates and no disallowances. The PUCT is not expected to act upon the district court's ordered remand, discussed above, until the appellate process, including appeals to the Texas Supreme Court, has been completed.
Based upon the opinions of the Utility's Texas regulatory counsel, Johnson & Gibbs, a Professional Corporation, management believes that it will prevail in obtaining a remand of a significant portion of the disallowances in Docket No. 9491; however, the ultimate disposition and quantification of these items cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may ultimately be required upon resolution of these matters has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
If the Utility is not successful in obtaining a final favorable disposition in the appellate proceedings relating to the disallowances in Docket No. 9491, a write-off of some portion of the $39.5 million disallowances would be required, which could result in a significant negative impact on earnings in the period of final resolution.
PUCT Docket No. 10200
On April 11, 1991, the Utility filed a rate application, Docket No. 10200, with the PUCT for inclusion of $275.2 million of capital costs of Unit 2 in the Utility's rate base and for the setting of rates to recover the costs of that unit.
TNP ENTERPRISES, INC. FORM 10-K
On March 18, 1993, the Utility received a final order which allowed $250.7 million of the Unit 2 costs in rate base; however, the PUCT disallowed from rate base $21.1 million associated with Unit 2 and $0.8 million additional costs requested for Unit 1. The PUCT also determined that $11.1 million of Unit 2 costs would be addressed in a future Texas rate application. The PUCT approved an increase in annualized revenues of approximately $19 million, or 53%, of the Utility's original $35.8 million rate request.
The order in Docket No. 10200 also reflects application to the Utility of a new method for calculating the amount of Federal income tax expense allowed in cost of service, which significantly reduced the Utility's level of annualized revenue increase from $26 million to $19 million.
The Docket No. 10200 rate order has been appealed to a Texas district court by the Utility and other parties. Because of the Court of Appeals judgment relating to the prudence of starting construction of Unit 2 (FF No. 84 in the docket No. 9491), the presiding judge in the Texas district court for the Docket No. 10200 appeal has ordered that the procedural schedule in this appeal be abated until final resolution of the FF No. 84 issue in Docket No. 9491. The Utility will vigorously pursue reversal of the PUCT's new position regarding Federal income tax expenses, in addition to seeking judicial relief from the disallowances and certain other rulings by the PUCT in Docket No. 10200. The opposing parties are seeking a variety of relief to obtain lower rates and greater disallowances, including overturning the basis of the Utility's case as presented to the PUCT and sustaining the PUCT's adverse Federal income tax position without regard to any IRS ruling on the normalization issue.
Based upon the opinions of the Utility's Texas regulatory counsel, Johnson & Gibbs, a Professional Corporation, management believes that it will prevail in obtaining a remand of a significant portion of the disallowances in Docket No. 10200; however, the ultimate disposition and quantification of these items cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may ultimately be required upon resolution of these matters has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
If the Utility is not successful in obtaining a final favorable disposition in the appellate proceedings relating to the disallowances in Docket No. 10200, a write-off of some portion of the $21.9 million disallowances would be required, which could result in a significant negative impact on earnings in the period of final resolution.
Other Legal Matters
The Utility is involved in various claims and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Utility's consolidated financial position.

Item 5. Market For The Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters.
This information is incorporated by reference to "Common Stock Information" on page 38 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
For the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company paid $17,344,000, and $13,780,000, respectively, in common dividends. Dividends were paid on a quarterly basis. Since most of the assets, liabilities and earnings capability of the Company are those of the Utility, the ability of the Company to pay dividends will be largely dependent upon the Utility's operations and the Utility's restrictions regarding payment of its dividends as discussed in notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Shareholders and Board of Directors TNP Enterprises, Inc.:
Under date of January 28, 1994, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of TNP Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, common stock equity and redeemable cumulative preferred stocks, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, as contained in the 1993 annual report to shareholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1993. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the related financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statement schedules based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
The report includes an explanatory paragraph that states that uncertainties exist with respect to the outcome of certain regulatory matters as discussed in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may ultimately be required upon resolution of these matters has been made in the above consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules.
As discussed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993 to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As discussed in note 1(j), the Company also adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions in 1993.
