Report of Independent Accountants
----------------------------------
To the Trustee and Participants of the Savings Plan of
Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Savings Plan of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules listed in the Table of Contents on page 2 are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than
to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in
net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and present the
Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits with fund
information and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Benefits with fund information for the Savings Plan of Entergy
Corporation and Subsidiaries (Plan).
Benefits payable for terminations and withdrawals are included in
net assets available for benefits and are charged to net assets
when paid. This accounting method differs from that required in
the Department of Labor Form 5500 which requires benefits payable
to be accrued and charged to net assets in the period the liability
arises. Net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 1995
and 1994 and the net increase in net assets available for benefits
for each of the years differ from that reported in the Form 5500 as
follows:

-------------- --------------
To be reported in Form 5500 $235,962,721 $(84,798,392)
============== ==============
Interest and Dividend Income: Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Investments: Cash equivalents are valued at cost, which
approximates fair value. Investments in equity and fixed income
securities are stated at their fair value as determined by quoted
market prices on the valuation date, in compliance with the
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA), as amended.
The values of guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) are recorded
at contract value, which approximates fair value. Contract value
represents amounts invested under the GICs, plus interest earned
and reinvested through the valuation date at the contracted rate.
The values of synthetic investment contracts (SICs) are recorded at
contract value, which approximates fair market value, because
participants are guaranteed a return of principal and accrued
interest. SICs are similar to a GIC except the assets of a SIC are
placed in a trust with ownership by the plan, and a financially
responsible third party issues a wrapper contract guaranteeing a
stated rate of return. The fair value of the SIC assets in trust at
December 31, 1995 was $113,122,000. Listed below are the GICs
and SICs as of December 31, 1995:
Guaranteed investment contracts

-------------
Total synthetic investment contracts $ 110,425,335
=============
The carrying value of loans to participants approximates fair
value.
Expenses: All costs and expenses of administering the Plan, except
expenses incurred in the direct acquisition or disposition of stock
and investment manager fees, are paid first by forfeitures of the
Plan and then by Entergy Corporation.
Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for on the trade
date.
Tax status: The Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable
determination letter on May 23, 1995 stating that the Plan
qualifies under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (Code) and is exempt from federal income taxes under
Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provisions for federal
income taxes have been made in the accompanying financial
statements.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements: The
preparation of the Plan financial statements, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts on the
Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the reported amounts on the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets Available for Benefits during fiscal years 1995 and
1994. Adjustments to the reported amount may be necessary in the
future to the extent that future estimates or actual results are
different from the estimates used in 1995 Plan financial statements.
Concentration of credit risk: Periodically, the plan invests in
certificates of deposit with a small number of banks. For deposit
insurance purposes, the certificates of deposit are considered to
be owned by each participant and insured up to $100,000 per
participant. However, the insurance coverage of $100,000 per
participant will be available only if the bank issuing the
certificate of deposit is eligible to accept "brokered deposits"
under the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.
The Plan invests in government notes and securities which include
direct obligations of the United States Government (U.S.), or
obligations of agencies or instrumentalities thereof, which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
The Plan invests in GICs and SICs which are subject to credit risk
with respect to the insurance companies.
2. Summary of Plan Provisions
--------------------------
The following description of the Plan is provided for general
information purposes only. Plan participants should refer to the
Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan of Entergy
Corporation and Subsidiaries subject to the provisions of ERISA.
The ERISA provisions set forth the requirements for participation,
vesting of benefits, fiduciary conduct for administering and
handling Plan assets, and for disclosure of Plan information.
Eligibility: At December 31, 1995 the Plan was available to all
employees of Entergy Corporation and its subsidiary companies
(System) who satisfy a six month System service requirement. All
current collective bargaining units except for active River Bend
Steam Electric Generating Station (River Bend) bargaining employees
of Entergy Operations, Inc. as of October 1, 1995 participate in
the Plan.
Contributions: Contributions made by or on behalf of participants
are deposited with Hibernia National Bank in New Orleans as Trustee
for the Plan. Participants may elect to contribute, through
payroll deductions, one to six percent of their base salary
(basic). The employing System company will make matching
contributions to the Plan in an amount equal to fifty percent of a
participant's basic contribution (matching). Participants may
contribute an additional one to ten percent of their base salary
(supplemental) for which there are no matching contributions.
Basic and supplemental contributions may be made on a before-tax
basis (401(k) contributions), an after-tax basis, or a combination
of both. Contributions are monitored and limited by federal tax
legislation. The limit for the 1995 401(k) contribution was
$9,240.
The Plan provides that certain taxable amounts received by an
employee which originated from an employee benefit plan qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code may be accepted under the Plan as
rollover contributions (Rollover). Prior to January 1, 1987, the
Plan accepted tax-deductible (IRA-type) contributions as System
Individual Retirement Account (SIRA) contributions and continues to
maintain such accounts under the Plan until distribution.
Investments: Matching contributions made on behalf of participants
are invested by the Trustee in the Entergy Corporation Stock Fund.
Participant contributions are invested as directed by participants
in accordance with the Plan's investment options. Earnings on
participant contributions are allocated based on participants'
account balances as of the first day of each month.
On July 6, 1994, the Board amended the Plan, effective January 1,
1995, by adding the Acorn Fund as a new investment option.
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions
to any of the following seven investment options:
Stable Income Fund - Funds are invested in high-quality,
fixed-income securities managed by Standish, Ayer &
Wood. In addition, the Fund invests in various
investments which include a stable value portfolio
managed by T. Rowe Price and investment contracts with
insurance companies offering a specified annual interest
rate over a stated period of time. Investments in the
T. Rowe Price stable value fund include SICs, as well as
high quality GICs. SICs are similar to GICs in that
they can be issued by banks and insurance companies and
provide a stable asset value and book value of payments
upon certain events.
Balanced Fund - Funds are invested in a mix of common
stocks that are similar to the Standard & Poor's 500 and
fixed-income securities.
Stock Income Fund - Funds are invested in the common
stocks of large, well-established companies whose
dividends are higher than the average dividends of
companies that make up the Standard & Poor's 500.
Stock Index Fund - Funds are invested in a portfolio of
common stocks intended to reflect the U.S. stock market.
The portfolio seeks to match the Wilshire 5000 Index, an
index of all regularly and publicly traded U.S. stocks.
Stock Growth Fund - Funds are invested in the common
stocks of large, well-established companies with
favorable growth potential.
Acorn Fund - The funds are invested in common stocks of
small and medium sized companies, including
international companies.
Entergy Corporation Stock Fund - Funds are invested in
common stock of Entergy Corporation.
As of December 31, 1995, the Plan had the following number of
participants in each investment option (excluding company matching
contributions):
Number of
Participants
------------
Stable Income Fund 10,963
Balanced Fund 2,494
Stock Income Fund 5,355
Stock Index Fund 2,729
Stock Growth Fund 3,710
Acorn Fund 2,219
Entergy Corporation Stock Fund 4,666
Vesting: Amounts contributed by participants are fully vested at
all times. Participants become fully vested in the matching
account upon completion of five years of System service except for
all Entergy Gulf States employees who were eligible to participate
in the Gulf States Utilities Company Employees' Thrift Plan before
January 1, 1995, and who transferred into the Plan as of January 1,
1995, continued to be immediately vested in all past and future
matching contributions.
Plan termination: Although it has not expressed any intent to do
so, the System has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event of a Plan termination,
participants would receive the total value of their accounts,
determined as of the date of termination.
In-Service withdrawals: While employed, participants may, with
certain restrictions, annually withdraw all or a portion of the
value of their basic and supplemental after-tax, Rollover, and SIRA
accounts. Such withdrawals may include all or a portion of the
value of their basic and supplemental before-tax accounts if the
participant has attained age 59-1/2. These withdrawals may be
subject to a ten percent penalty unless the participant is age 59-
1/2 or older. The Plan also has a financial hardship withdrawal
provision.
Loans to participants: The Plan has a loan provision whereby
participants who are actively employed may borrow an amount from
their eligible account(s) based on the balance of such account(s).
The amount borrowed is deducted from the participant's eligible
account(s) and repaid with interest in accordance with an
established schedule. If a participant with an outstanding loan
separates from service, the remaining principal balance of the loan
is treated as a taxable distribution to the participant unless the
amount is repaid in full within a specified period from the date of
separation.
Distributions upon separation from service: Upon leaving a System
company, participants become eligible to receive a single-sum
distribution of the entire vested value of the Plan accounts, with
certain additional provisions regarding deferral of distributions,
installment distributions for certain retirees and disabled
participants, minimum account balances, and mandatory
distributions.
Asset value per unit: The number of units and the net asset value
per unit for the funds as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were as
follows:
1995 1994
Stable Income Fund: ---------- -----------

Net Asset Value per unit $1.21 -
The asset value of the Entergy Corporation Stock Fund is based on
the market value per share of Entergy Corporation common stock
which was $29.25 and $21.88 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Inactive accounts: The amounts allocated to accounts of plan
participants who have withdrawn from participation in the plan, but
for which disbursements of those funds from the plan has not yet
been made is $154,930,302.
Forfeitures: Upon termination of employment for reasons other than
retirement, disability, or death, the portion of the employee's
account in which he/she is not vested at the time of termination
shall be forfeited and credited to the Plan Forfeiture Account.
Contributions forfeited for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994 were $182,176 and $93,212, respectively.
Plan amendments: Effective January 1, 1995, the dividend pass
through feature was added to the Plan. The new Plan feature allows
eligible participants to receive a cash distribution of their
Entergy common stock dividend held in the Company Match Account or
reinvest it back into the Plan. Eligible participants include all
participants which are vested in their Company Account. Entergy
employees with 5 years of service are vested.
Other: The following represents investments in excess of
five percent of the current value of net assets available for
benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1994:

3. Entergy Corporation - Gulf States Utilities Company Merger
----------------------------------------------------------
On December 31, 1993, Entergy Corporation and Gulf States Utilities
Company (Entergy Gulf States, Inc.) consummated their merger.
Entergy Gulf States, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Entergy Corporation. On May 5, 1994, the Board of Directors of
Entergy Corporation (Board) approved the combination of the Plan
and the Gulf States Utilities Employees' Thrift Plan.
On January 1, 1995, the non-bargaining employees of Entergy Gulf
States began making new contributions to the Plan. In April 1995,
the non-bargaining employees' and inactive participants' assets
were transferred from the Gulf States Utilities Company Employees'
Thrift Plan to the Plan. Bargaining unit employees of Entergy Gulf
States, other than River Bend, joined the Plan on October 1, 1995
and their assets were transferred in October 1995. The River
Bend bargaining unit elected to remain in the Gulf State
Utilities Employees' Thrift Plan. During 1995, the Plan received
$71,777,638 in cash and $39,867,964 in securities from the Gulf
States Utilities Company Employees' Thrift Plan.
