ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On July 1, 1997, Enron Corp. acquired Portland General Corporation
("PGC") by merger pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among Enron Corp., PGC and Enron Oregon Corp., dated as of July
20, 1996 and amended and restated as of September 24, 1996 and as further
amended by the First Amendment dated April 14, 1997 (the "Amended Merger
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, on July 1, 1997, Enron
Corp., a Delaware corporation, merged with and into Enron Oregon Corp., an
Oregon corporation (the "Reincorporation Merger"), and the name of Enron Oregon
Corp. was changed to Enron Corp. ("Enron" or, the "Registrant"). Also on July
1, 1997, promptly following the Reincorporation Merger, PGC merged with and
into Enron (the "PGC Merger"), with Enron continuing in existence as the
surviving corporation (the Reincorporation Merger and the PGC Merger are
collectively referred to herein as the "Mergers"). Each share of PGC common
stock issued and outstanding (other than shares owned by PGC, Enron Corp.,
Enron Oregon Corp. or any of their respective subsidiaries, which were
canceled) was converted into 0.9825 shares of Enron common stock. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, Enron consolidated PGC's
debt (approximately $1.1 billion at June 30, 1997) and accounted for the
transaction on a purchase accounting basis. The amount of such consideration
was the result of an agreed negotiation between the two companies, and the
mergers were approved by each company's shareholders.

         For a further discussion of PGC, PGE and the Amended Merger Agreement,
see the Amended Merger Agreement included as Annex A to the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus included in the Registrant's Registration Statement on
Form S-4, File No. 333-13791, in addition to the other documents listed in Item
7(c) hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1997
and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, give effect to the
Mergers based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Enron and
PGC under the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes
to the pro forma financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet assumes the Mergers were
consummated on June 30, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
income assume that the Mergers were consummated on January 1, 1996. Enron will
account for the transaction as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.

These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes thereto and with the historical consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto of Enron and PGC. The unaudited
pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared based upon
assumptions deemed appropriate by the management of Enron and PGC. These
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual or
future results of operations or financial condition that would have been
achieved had the Mergers occurred at the dates assumed.

     As a condition to the Oregon Public Utility Commission's ("OPUC") approval
     of the Mergers and consistent with Enron's intended use of PGC's assets,
     Enron will file a disaggregation plan to separate PGC's generating assets
     from its transmission and distribution assets. Enron has not completed its
     plan or its estimate of the impact of such plan on the valuation of PGE's
     generating assets in a competitive environment. For purposes of these Pro
     Forma Combined Financial Statements, the assets and liabilities acquired
     reflect their net book value as recorded by PGC, except as reflected above.
     The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary because valuations and
     other studies related to PGC's regulated and unregulated businesses have
     not been finalized. The ultimate fair values of the assets and liabilities
     of PGC's regulated and unregulated businesses may vary significantly from
     the historical basis of the assets and liabilities recorded by PGC. Enron
     is currently unable to estimate the impact of these matters on its purchase
     price allocation to goodwill.

D.   To reflect Enron's obligation to provide guaranteed merger-related
     benefits to PGE's customers. The total undiscounted guaranteed obligation
     of $141 million (which will accrue interest at above-market rates) has
     been reflected at Enron's current incremental borrowing rate.

E.   To increase long-term debt and company-obligated preferred securities of 
     subsidiary, PGE, by $20 million and $1 million, respectively, to reflect
     fair value based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues
     or on the current rates offered to PGC for debt of similar remaining
     maturities.

F.   To reduce deferred income tax liabilities for the tax effect of the basis
     differences between the fair value of certain liabilities and PGC's
     corresponding historical net book values. It is assumed there will be no
     change in the tax basis of PGC's assets and liabilities. For purposes of
     the pro forma calculations, a statutory income tax rate of 41% has been
     utilized.

G    To reflect reserves related to valuing certain contractual obligations to
     current market values, estimated environmental liabilities and certain
     benefit related and other obligations. The determination of these reserves
     is preliminary pending completion of Enron's final studies and valuations.

H.   To reflect the issuance of approximately 50.5 million shares of Enron
     Common Stock, without par value, for the PGC Common Stock issued and
     outstanding as of the effective date of the PGC Merger (based upon the PGC
     Conversion Ratio of 0.9825 shares of Enron Common Stock for each share of
     PGC Common Stock) at $36.88 per share (reflecting the average share price
     of Enron Common Stock for two trading days before and after the
     announcement of the First Amendment) and to eliminate PGC common
     shareholders' equity of $1,025 million.

I.   To reflect the reclassification of Enron's additional paid in capital to
     common stock due to Enron Common Stock being without a par value upon
     completion of the Reincorporation Merger.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

The adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of
Income do not give effect to any nonrecurring costs directly associated with
the Mergers that might be incurred within the next twelve months. The pro forma
financial data also do not give effect to any potential cost savings and
synergies that could result from the Mergers.

A.   To reflect a 40-year amortization of the purchase price allocated to 
     goodwill.

B.   To remove the effect of PGC's recognition of expenses related to the
     Mergers in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended
     December 31, 1996.

C.   To reflect amortization of the excess of fair value over book value from
     revaluation of PGC's long-term debt and company-obligated preferred
     securities and interest expense related to Enron's obligation to provide
     guaranteed merger-related benefits to PGE's customers.

D.   To reflect income tax expense for the effects of the above items except 
     for item A. For purposes of the pro forma calculations, a statutory income
     tax rate of 41% has been utilized.

E.   The average number of common shares used in primary computation have been
     determined using the PGC Conversion Ratio of 0.9825 shares of Enron
     Common Stock for each share of PGC Common Stock.
