ITEM 1.    GENERAL INFORMATION

           (a) The registrant (sometimes referred to herein as "New Enron") is a
           corporation organized on October 8, 1996 in the state of Oregon.

           (b)    The registrant's fiscal year ends December 31.

ITEM 2.    TRANSACTION OF SUCCESSION.

           (a) The name of the registrant's predecessor which had securities
           registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
           is Enron Corp., a Delaware corporation.

           (b) The succession transaction was a reincorporation merger (the
           "Reincorporation Merger") of Enron Corp., a Delaware corporation
           ("Old Enron"), with and into the registrant, which, until the
           Reincorporation Merger, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Enron.
           The Reincorporation Merger became effective July 1, 1997. As a result
           of the Reincorporation Merger, (i) each issued share of common stock,
           par value $.10 per share, of Old Enron ("Old Enron Common Stock")was
           converted into one share of common stock, without par value, of the
           registrant ("New Enron Common Stock"), and (ii) each issued and
           outstanding share of Cumulative Second Preferred Convertible Stock,
           par value $1.00 per share, of Old Enron ("Old Enron Convertible
           Preferred Stock") was converted into one share of Cumulative Second
           Preferred Convertible Stock, without par value, of the registrant
           ("New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock), and (iii) each issued and
           outstanding share of 9.142% Perpetual Second Preferred Stock, par
           value $1.00 per share, of Old Enron was converted into one share of
           9.142% Perpetual Second Preferred Stock, without par value, of the
           registrant.

                  Immediately following the Reincorporation Merger, also on July
           1, 1997, the registrant acquired Portland General Corporation ("PGC")
           by means of the merger of PGC with and into the registrant (the "PGC
           Merger" and, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the
           "Mergers"). As a result of the PGC Merger, each share of common
           stock, par value $3.75 per share, of PGC ("PGC Common Stock") issued
           and outstanding at the effective time of the PGC Merger (other than
           shares owned by PGC, Old Enron, the registrant or any of their
           respective subsidiaries, which were canceled) was converted into
           0.9825 share of New Enron Common Stock.

ITEM 3.    SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

                  Based on the number of shares of Old Enron Common Stock and
           Old Enron Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of
           June 3, 1997, upon consummation of the Reincorporation Merger (but
           prior to the PGC Merger):

ITEM 4.    DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

                  The securities to be registered are the New Enron Common
           Stock, the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock, and the
           Exchangeable Notes.

                  The following descriptions of certain of the provisions of the
           Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of New Enron (the "New
           Enron Charter") and the Bylaws of New Enron ("New Enron Bylaws") are
           summaries and do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in
           their entirety by reference to the New Enron Charter and the New
           Enron Bylaws filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

           COMMON STOCK

                  New Enron is authorized to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of
           New Enron Common Stock. The holders of New Enron Common Stock are
           entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a
           vote of shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights in the
           election of directors. The holders of New Enron Common Stock are
           entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be
           declared by the Board of Directors of New Enron out of legally
           available funds subject to the rights of any preferred stock. In the
           event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Enron, the
           holders of New Enron Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in
           all assets of New Enron remaining after provision for payment of
           liabilities and satisfaction of the liquidation preference of any
           shares of New Enron Preferred Stock that may be outstanding. The
           holders of New Enron Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
           redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and
           privileges of holders of New Enron Common Stock may become subject to
           those of holders of New Enron Preferred Stock, including any series
           of New Enron Preferred Stock issued in the future.

           PREFERRED STOCK

             New Enron is authorized to issue up to 16,500,000 shares of
           Preferred Stock ("New Enron Preferred Stock"). An aggregate of
           1,370,000 shares of New

<PAGE>   4


           Enron Preferred Stock are designated the Cumulative Second Preferred
           Convertible Stock ("New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock") for
           issuance in the Reincorporation Merger in exchange for the shares of
           Old Enron Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of
           the Effective Time. An aggregate of 35.568509 shares of New Enron
           Preferred Stock are designated the 9.142% Perpetual Second Preferred
           Stock ("New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock") for issuance in the
           Reincorporation Merger in exchange for the shares of Old Enron's
           9.142% Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective
           Time.

                    In addition to the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock and
           the New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock, the New Enron Board of
           Directors has authority, without shareholder approval (except to the
           extent that holders of any series of New Enron Preferred Stock are
           entitled by their terms to class voting rights), to issue shares of
           New Enron Preferred Stock in one or more series and to determine the
           number of shares, designations, dividend rights, conversion rights,
           voting power, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and other
           terms of any such series. The issuance of New Enron Preferred Stock,
           while providing desired flexibility in connection with possible
           acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could adversely affect the
           voting power of holders of New Enron Common Stock and the likelihood
           that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon
           liquidation and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
           preventing a change in control of New Enron.

           NEW ENRON CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

                   The following summary of the terms of the New Enron
           Convertible Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference
           to the form of series designation for the New Enron Convertible
           Preferred Stock filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.

                  The annual rate of dividends payable on shares of the New
           Enron Convertible Preferred Stock is the greater of $10.50 per share
           or the dividend amount payable on the number of shares of New Enron
           Common Stock into which one share of New Enron Convertible Preferred
           Stock are convertible (currently 13.652 shares, subject to
           adjustment). Such dividends are payable quarterly on the first days
           of January, April, July and October. These dividend rights are
           superior to the dividend rights of the New Enron Common Stock and
           rank equally with the dividend rights on the New Enron 9.142%
           Preferred Stock.

                  The amount payable on shares of the New Enron Convertible
           Preferred Stock in the event of any involuntary or voluntary
           liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of New Enron is
           $100 per share, together with accrued dividends to the date of
           distribution or payment. The liquidation rights of the New Enron
           Convertible Preferred Stock are superior to the New Enron Common
           Stock and rank equally with the liquidation rights of the New Enron
           9.142% Preferred Stock. The New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock is

<PAGE>   5

           redeemable at the option of New Enron at any time, in whole or in
           part, at a redemption price of $100 per share, together with accrued
           dividends to the date of distribution or payment. Each share of New
           Enron Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible initially into
           13.652 shares of New Enron Common Stock at any time at the option of
           the holder (which conversion rate is and will be subject to certain
           adjustments).

                  Holders of New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled
           to vote together with the New Enron Common Stock on all matters
           submitted to a vote of New Enron shareholders, with each share of New
           Enron Convertible Preferred Stock having a number of votes equal to
           the number of shares of New Enron Common Stock into which one share
           of New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. In addition,
           holders of New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to
           certain class voting rights, including (unless provision is made for
           redemption of such shares) (a) the requirement for approval by the
           holders of at least two-thirds of the New Enron Convertible Preferred
           Stock (voting together with all other shares of parity stock
           similarly affected) to effect (i) an amendment to the New Enron
           Charter or Bylaws that would affect adversely the voting powers,
           rights or preferences of the holders of the New Enron Convertible
           Preferred Stock or reduces the time for any notice to which the
           holders of the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock may be entitled,
           (ii) the authorization, creation or issuance of, or the increase in
           the authorized amount of, any stock of any class or series or any
           security convertible into stock of any class or series ranking prior
           to the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) the voluntary
           dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of New Enron,
           or the sale, lease or conveyance by New Enron of all or substantially
           all of its property or assets, or (iv) the purchase or redemption
           (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) of less than all of the New
           Enron Convertible Preferred Stock and other parity stock at the time
           outstanding unless the full dividends on all shares of New Enron
           Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid or
           declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart, and (b)
           the requirement for approval by the holders of at least a majority of
           the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock (voting together with all
           other shares of parity stock similarly affected), to effect (i) the
           authorization, creation or issuance of, or the increase in the
           authorized amount of, any stock of any class or series or any
           security convertible into stock of any class or series, ranking on a
           parity with the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that
           no such consent shall be required for the authorization, creation or
           issuance by New Enron of a number of shares of one or more series of
           Preferred Stock ranking on parity with the New Enron Convertible
           Preferred Stock that, together with number of shares of New Enron
           Convertible Preferred Stock and other Preferred Stock ranking on
           parity with the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock then
           outstanding, would equal 5,000,000, or (ii) the merger or
           consolidation of New Enron with or into any other corporation, unless
           the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation will have
           after such merger or consolidation no class of stock and no other
           securities either authorized or outstanding ranking prior to or on a
           parity with the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock, except the
           same


<PAGE>   6

           number of shares of stock and the same amount of other securities
           with the same rights and preferences as the stock and securities of
           New Enron respectively authorized and outstanding immediately
           preceding such merger or consolidation, and each holder of New Enron
           Convertible Preferred Stock immediately preceding such merger or
           consolidation shall receive the same number of shares, with the same
           rights and preferences, of the resulting corporation. In addition, if
           dividend payments on the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock are in
           default in an amount equivalent to six quarterly dividends on such
           shares, then the holders of the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock
           shall have certain voting rights (together with any parity stock
           similarly affected) to elect two directors to New Enron's Board of
           Directors until such dividends have been paid or funds sufficient
           therefor deposited in trust.

           9.142% PREFERRED STOCK

               The following summary of the terms of the New Enron 9.142%

                  The annual rate of dividends payable on shares of the New
           Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock is $91,420 per share. Such dividends are
           payable quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and
           October. These dividend rights are superior to the dividend rights of
           the New Enron Common Stock and rank equally with the dividend rights
           on the New Enron Convertible Preferred Stock.

                   The amount payable on shares of the New Enron 9.142%
           Preferred Stock in the event of any voluntary or involuntary

           $1,000,000 per share, together with accrued dividends. The
           liquidation rights of the New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock are

                  The New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the
           option of New Enron. Pursuant to an agreement between New Enron and
           its subsidiary, however, such subsidiary will have the rights,
           exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, for a 180-day period
           commencing January 31, 2004, to cause New Enron to redeem 18 shares
           for $1,000,000 per share, together with accrued dividends.

           have no voting rights but are entitled to certain class voting
           rights, including (unless provision is made for redemption of such

           with all other shares of parity stock similarly affected), to effect
           (i) an amendment to the New Enron Charter or Bylaws that would affect

           to the New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock, (iii) the voluntary
           dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of New Enron,
           or the sale, lease or conveyance by New Enron of all or substantially

           authorized amount of, any stock of any class or series or any
           security convertible into stock of any class or series, ranking on a
           parity with the New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock, provided that no

           consolidation no class of stock and no other securities either
           authorized or outstanding ranking prior to or on a parity with the
           New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock, except the same number of shares of
           stock and the same amount of other securities with the same rights
           and preferences as the stock and securities of New Enron respectively
           authorized and outstanding immediately preceding such merger or
           consolidation, and each holder of New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock
           immediately preceding such merger or consolidation shall receive the
           same number of shares, with the same rights and preferences, of the
           resulting corporation. In addition, if dividend payments on the New
           Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock are in default in an amount equivalent
           to six quarterly dividends on such shares, then the holders of the
           New Enron 9.142% Preferred Stock shall have certain voting rights
           (together with any other parity stock similarly affected) to elect
           two directors to New Enron's Board of Directors until such dividends
           have been paid or funds sufficient therefor deposited in trust.

           CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE NEW ENRON CHARTER AND BYLAWS

                  FAIR PRICE PROVISION. The New Enron Charter contains a "fair
           price" provision which generally requires that certain mergers,
           business combinations and similar transactions with a "Related
           Person" (generally the beneficial owner of at least 10 percent of New
           Enron's voting stock) be approved by the holders of at least 80
           percent of New Enron's voting stock, unless (a) the transaction is
           approved by at least 80 percent of the "Continuing Directors" of New
           Enron, who constitute a majority of the entire board, (b) the
           transaction occurs more
<PAGE>   8

           than five years after the last acquisition of New Enron voting stock
           by the Related Person or (c) certain "fair price" and procedural
           requirements are satisfied.

                  The New Enron Charter defines "Business Transaction" as (a)
           any merger or consolidation involving New Enron or a subsidiary of
           New Enron, (b) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
           disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions),
           including without limitation a mortgage or any other security device,
           of all or any substantial part of the assets either of New Enron or
           of a subsidiary of New Enron, (c) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer
           or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the assets of
           an entity to New Enron or a subsidiary of New Enron, (d) the
           issuance, sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition by New Enron
           or a subsidiary of New Enron of any securities of New Enron or any
           subsidiary of New Enron, (e) any recapitalization or reclassification
           of New Enron's securities (including without limitation, any reverse
           stock split) or other transaction that would have the effect of
           increasing the voting power of a Related Person, (f) any liquidation,
           spinoff, splitoff, splitup or dissolution of New Enron, and (g) any
           agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for any of the
           transactions described in this definition of Business Transaction.
           "Continuing Director" is defined to mean a director who either was a
           member of the Board of Directors of New Enron prior to the time such
           Related Person became a Related Person or who subsequently became a
           director of New Enron and whose election, or nomination for election
           by New Enron's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least 80
           percent of the Continuing Directors then on the Board, either by a
           specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement issued by New
           Enron on behalf of the Board of Directors in which such person is
           named as nominee for director, without an objection to such
           nomination; provided, however, that in no event shall a director be
           considered a "Continuing Director" if such director is a Related
           Person and the Business Transaction to be voted upon is with such
           Related Person or is one in which such Related Person otherwise has
           an interest (except proportionately as a shareholder of New Enron).

                  ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND
           NOMINATIONS. The New Enron Bylaws provide that for business to be
           properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, it must be
           either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement
           thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b)
           otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the
           Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly brought before the
           meeting by a shareholder of New Enron who is a shareholder of record
           at the time of giving of notice hereinafter provided for, who shall
           be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the
           following notice procedures. In addition to any other applicable
           requirements, for business to be brought before an annual meeting by
           a shareholder of New Enron, the shareholder must have given timely
           notice in writing of the business to be brought before an annual
           meeting of shareholders to the Secretary of New Enron. To be timely,
           a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at
           New Enron's principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior
           to the

<PAGE>   9

           anniversary date of the proxy statement for the previous year's
           annual meeting of the shareholders of New Enron (or Old Enron, with
           respect to the first such meeting after the Effective Time). A
           shareholder's notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each
           matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting
           (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
           the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at
           the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on New
           Enron's books, of the shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the
           acquisition date, the class and the number of shares of voting stock
           of New Enron which are owned beneficially by the shareholder, (iv)
           any material interest of the shareholder in such business and (v) a
           representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by
           proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed business before the
           meeting. No business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except
           in accordance with the procedures outlined above.

                  The New Enron Bylaws provide that only persons who are
           nominated for election as a director of New Enron in accordance with
           the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors.
           Nominations of persons for election to New Enron's Board of Directors
           may be made at a meeting of shareholders (a) by or at the direction
           of the Board of Directors or (b) by any shareholder of New Enron who
           is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice
           hereinafter provided for, who shall be entitled to vote for the
           election of directors at the meeting and who complies with the
           following notice procedures. Such nominations, other than those made
           by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made
           pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of New Enron.
           To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed
           and received at New Enron's principal executive offices, (i) with
           respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of
           shareholders of New Enron, not less than 120 days prior to the
           anniversary date of the proxy statement for the previous year's
           annual meeting of the shareholders of New Enron (or Old Enron, with
           respect to the first such meeting after the Effective Time), and (ii)
           with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of
           shareholders of New Enron for the election of directors, not later
           than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on
           which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public
           disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever first
           occurs. Such shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth
           (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for
           election or re-election as a director, all information relating to
           the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for
           proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, pursuant
           to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including the written
           consent of such person to be named in the proxy statement as a
           nominee and to serve as a director if elected); and (b) as to the
           shareholder giving the notice, (i) the name and address, as they
           appear on New Enron's books, of such shareholder, and (ii) the class
           and number of shares of capital stock of New Enron which are
           beneficially owned by the shareholder.

           CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF OREGON LAW.

                   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS WITH INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS. New Enron
           is subject to the provisions of Sections 60.825-60.845 of the Oregon
           Business Corporation Act ("OBCA"), which generally provide that any
           person who acquires 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock
           (thereby becoming an "interested shareholder") may not engage in
           certain "business combinations" with the corporation for a period of
           three years following the date the person became an interested
           stockholder, unless (i) the board of directors has approved, prior to
           the date the person became an interested shareholder, either the
           business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person
           becoming an interested shareholder, (ii) upon consummation of the
           transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested
           shareholder, that person owns at least 85% of the corporation's
           voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced
           (excluding shares owned by persons who are both directors and 
           officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which 
           participants do not have the right to determine whether shares will
           be tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or (iii) on or 
           subsequent to the date the person became an interested shareholder,
           the business combination is approved by the board of directors and 
           authorized by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the 
           outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested shareholder.

                  CONTROL SHARE STATUTE. As is permitted by the OBCA, the New
           Enron Charter provides that New Enron is not subject to the Oregon
           Control Share Act. The Oregon Control Share Act restricts the ability
           of a shareholder of certain Oregon-based corporations to vote shares
           of stock acquired in a transaction that causes the acquiring person
           to control at least one-fifth, one-third or one-half of the votes
           entitled to be cast in the election of directors, except as
           authorized by a vote of the corporation's disinterested shareholders.

           EXCHANGEABLE NOTES

                  Upon consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, the
           Exchangeable Notes became obligations of New Enron. The description
           of the terms of the Exchangeable Notes set forth under the heading
           "Description of Exchangeable Notes" on pages 15-24 of the prospectus
           included in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Old Enron's
           Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed December 8, 1995 (File No.
