         The beneficiaries of the employee benefit plans referred to above
     may be deemed to have a financial interest in the registrant or affiliated
     companies thereof by virtue of their employment relationship with the
     registrant or such other companies and compensation and benefit agreements
     and other arrangements relating to such employment.

                    TWENTY LARGEST HOLDERS OF CAPITAL STOCKS

     and/or certificates of beneficial interest of the registrant:

         See Schedule 15.1.

     (b) Number of shareholders of record each holding 1,000 shares or more, and
         aggregate number of shares so held.

         As of September 30, 2002, there were 8,877 shareholders of record
         holding 1,000 shares or more, for a total of 292,224,726 shares.

     (c) Number of shareholders of record each holding less than 1,000 shares,
         and aggregate number of shares so held.

         As of September 30, 2002, there were 59,266 shareholders of record
         holding less than 1,000 shares, for a total of 12,110,731 shares.

                        OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES

16.  (a) Positions and Compensation of Officers and Directors. Give name and
         address of each director and officer (including any person who performs
         similar functions) of the registrant, of each subsidiary company
         thereof, and of each mutual service company which is a member of the
         same holding company system. Opposite the name of each such individual
         give the title of every such position held by him and briefly describe
         each other employment of such individual by each such company.

              Each director of CenterPoint who is not an employee receives an
         annual retainer of $30,000, paid in quarterly installments. Each
         director also receives $1,200 for each meeting attended. In November
         2002, the Board of Directors also authorized an additional retainer
         for the director serving as the non-executive chairman of the board
         during the period from October 2002 through September 2004. The
         chairman will receive an additional retainer of $25,000 per month
         during that period and also will be rewarded a total of 20,000 shares
         of common stock.


                                       8


              Additional information is set forth in the Current Report on Form
         8-K filed by CenterPoint on September 13, 2002 (File No. 1-31447), and
         the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CenterPoint on October 1, 2002
         (File No. 1-31447), each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

         State the present rate of compensation on an annual basis for each
         director whose aggregate compensation from all such companies exceeds
         $1,000 per year, and of each officer whose aggregate compensation from
         such companies is at the rate of $20,000 or more per year. In the event
         any officer devotes only part of his time to a company or companies in
         the system this fact should be indicated by appropriate footnote. Such
         compensation for such part time should be computed on an annual rate
         and if such annual rate exceeds $20,000 the actual compensation as well
         as annual rate should also be reported.

              Compensation of the executive and senior officers of CenterPoint
         are set forth on Schedule 16.1, for which confidential treatment is
         requested.

16.  (b) Compensation of Certain Employees.  As to regular employees of such
         companies who are not directors or officers of any one of them, list
         the name, address, and aggregate annual rate of compensation of all
         those who receive $20,000 or more per year from all such companies.

              This information can only be compiled by CenterPoint by incurring
         unreasonable effort because a large proportion of the employees of
         CenterPoint and its subsidiaries receive an annual rate of compensation
         of $20,000 or more per year.

16.  (c) Indebtedness to System Companies. As to every such director, trustee or
         officer as aforesaid, who is indebted to any one of such companies, or
         on whose behalf any such company has now outstanding and effective any
         obligation to assume or guarantee payment of any indebtedness to
         another, and whose total direct and contingent liability to such
         company exceeds the sum of $1,000, give the name of such director,
         trustee, or officer, the name of such company, and describe briefly the
         nature and amount of such direct and contingent obligations.

              CenterPoint maintains an appliance loan program through which all
         employees are allowed to purchase certain appliances on an
         interest-free basis, subject to paying a five percent up-front
         administrative charge. Although some officers of CenterPoint and its
         subsidiaries have loans under this program, no senior or executive
         officer has a loan under this program.


                                      9


16.  (d) Contracts.  If any such director, trustee, or officer as aforesaid:
         (1) has an existing contract with any such company (exclusive of an
         employment contract which provides for no compensation other than that
         set forth in paragraph (a) of this Item); or, (2) either individually
         or together with the members of his immediate family, owns, directly or
         indirectly, 5% or more of the voting securities of any third person
         with whom any such company has an existing contract; or, (3) has any
         other beneficial interest in an existing contract to which any such
         company is a party; describe briefly the nature of such contract, the
         names of the parties thereto, the terms thereof, and the interest of
         such officer, trustee, or director therein.

              Not applicable.

16.  (e) Banking Connections. If any such director, trustee, or officer is an
         executive officer, director, partner, appointee, or representative of
         any bank, trust company, investment banker, or banking association or
         firm, or of any corporation a majority of whose stock having the
         unrestricted right to vote for the election of directors, is owned by
         any bank, trust company, investment banker, or banking association or
         firm, state the name of such director or officer, describe briefly such
         other positions held by him and indicate which of the rules under
         Section 17(c) authorizes the registrant and subsidiary companies of
         which he is a director or officer to retain him in such capacity.

              Not applicable.

                    INTERESTS OF TRUSTEES IN SYSTEM COMPANIES

17.      Describe briefly the nature of any substantial interest which any
         trustee under indentures executed in connection with any outstanding
         issue of securities of the registrant or any subsidiary thereof, has in
         either the registrant or such subsidiary, and any claim which any such
         trustee may have against registrant or any subsidiary; provided,
         however, that it shall not be necessary to include in such description
         any evidences of indebtedness owned by such trustee which were issued
         pursuant to such an indenture.

              To the knowledge of CenterPoint, there is no substantial interest
         of any trustee under indentures executed in connection with any
         outstanding issue of securities.


                   SERVICE, SALES, AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

18.      As to each service, sales, or construction contract (as defined in
         paragraphs (19) to (21) of Section 2(a) of the Act) which the
         registrant and any subsidiary company thereof has had in effect within
         the last three months, describe briefly the nature of such contract,
         the name and address of the parties thereto, the dates of execution and
         expiration, and the compensation to be paid thereunder. Attach typical
         forms of any such contracts as an exhibit to this registration
         statement. If the other party to any such contract is a

                                       10



         mutual service company or a subsidiary service company which is a
         member of the same holding company system as the registrant and as to

         declaration filed by such company pursuant to Rule 13-22 and no further
         details need be given as to such contracts.

         contracts within the scope of Section 13. It is not intended to apply
         to any contracts for purchase of power or gas or ordinary contracts for
         materials and supplies, printing, etc., made with non-affiliates.

         See Schedule 18.1 hereto.

                                   LITIGATION

19.      Describe briefly any existing litigation of the following descriptions,
         to which the registrant or any subsidiary company thereof is a party,
         or of which the property of the registrant or any such subsidiary
         company is the subject, including the names of the parties and the
         court in which such litigation is pending:

         (5)    Each other proceeding in which the matter in controversy,

                company thereof has previously submitted to its stockholders.
                For companies for which no reports are submitted the reason for
                omission should be indicated; provided that electronic filers
                shall submit such reports in paper format only under cover of
                Form SE.

                     The Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of Reliant Energy,
                Incorporated for the year ended December 31, 2001 (Amendment No.
                1) (filed July 5, 2002) (File

                No. 1-3187) and the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of Reliant
                Energy Resources Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2001
                (Amendment No. 1) (filed July 15, 2002) (File No. 1-13265) are
                incorporated herein by reference.


EXHIBIT G.      Furnish a copy of each annual report that the registrant and
                each public utility subsidiary company thereof shall have filed
                with any State Commission having jurisdiction to regulate public
                utility companies for the last fiscal year ending prior to the
                date of filing this registration statement. If any such company
                shall have filed similar reports with more than one such State
                Commission, the registrant need file a copy of only one of such
                reports provided that notation is made of such fact, giving the
                names of the different commissions with which such report was
                filed, and setting forth any differences between the copy
                submitted and the copies filed with such other commissions. In
                the event any company submits an annual report to the Federal
                Power Commission but not to a State commission, a copy of such
                report should be furnished. In the case of a registrant or any
                public utility subsidiary company for which no report is
                appended the reasons for such omission should be indicated such
                as "No such reports required or filed;" provided that electronic
                filers shall submit such reports in paper format only under
                cover of Form SE.

OTHER SECURITIES
(as of September 30, 2002)




CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp.'s (CERC Corp.) $500 million aggregate
principal amount of 6 3/8% Term Enhanced ReMarketable Securities (TERM Notes)
provide an investment bank with a call option, which gives it the right to have
the TERM Notes redeemed from the investors on November 1, 2003 and then
remarketed if it chooses to exercise the option. The TERM Notes are unsecured
obligations of CERC Corp. which bear interest at an annual rate of 6 3/8% to
November 1, 2003. On November 1, 2003, the holders of the TERM Notes are
required to tender their notes at 100% of their principal amount. If the option
is not exercised by the investment bank, CERC Corp. will repurchase the TERM
Notes at 100% of their principal amount on November 1, 2003. If the option is
exercised, the TERM Notes will be remarketed on a date, selected by CERC Corp.,
within the 52-week period beginning November 1, 2003. During this period and
prior to remarketing, the TERM Notes will bear interest at rates, adjusted
weekly, based on an index selected by CERC Corp. If the TERM Notes are
remarketed, the final maturity date of the TERM Notes will be November 1, 2013,
subject to adjustment, and the effective interest rate on the remarketed TERM
Notes will be 5.66% plus CERC Corp.'s applicable credit spread at the time of
such remarketing.

On September 21, 1999, 17.2 million 2.0% Zero-Premium Exchangeable Subordinated
Notes due 2029 (ZENS) having an original principal amount of $1.0 billion were
issued. At maturity the holders of the ZENS will receive in cash the higher of
the original principal amount of the ZENS (subject to adjustment) or an amount
based on the then-current market value of AOL Time Warner Common Stock, or other
securities distributed with respect to AOL Time Warner Common Stock (1.5 shares
of AOL Time Warner Common Stock and such other securities, if any, are referred
to as reference shares). Each ZENS has an original principal amount of $58.25,
and is exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder for cash equal to
95% (100% in some cases) of the market value of the reference shares
attributable to one ZENS. CenterPoint Energy, Inc. pays interest quarterly on
each ZENS at an annual rate of 2% plus the amount of any quarterly cash
dividends paid in respect of the reference shares attributable to each ZENS.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001, the ZENS obligation was
bifurcated into a debt component and a derivative component (the holder's option
to receive the appreciated value of AOL Time Warner Common Stock at maturity).
