                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


     1.   The condensed  consolidated  financial statements included herein have
          been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
          regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   Certain
          information and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
          statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting
          principles  have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rules and
          regulations;  however,  the Company  believes that the disclosures are
          adequate to make the  information  presented  not  misleading.  In the
          opinion of the Company,  all  adjustments  necessary to present fairly
          the financial  position of Oklahoma Gas and Electric  Company ("OG&E")
          and its  subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995, and December 31, 1994,
          and the  results of  operations  and the changes in cash flows for the
          periods ended  September 30, 1995,  and September 30, 1994,  have been
          included and are of a normal recurring nature (excluding  amortization
          of a regulatory asset relating to a Voluntary Early Retirement Package
          ("VERP") and severance  package - See Item 2 "Management's  Discussion
          and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations"  for
          related discussion).

          The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
          indicative  of the results  for the full year.  It is  suggested  that
          these  condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  be  read  in
          conjunction with the consolidated  financial  statements and the notes
          thereto  included  in the  Company's  Form  10-K  for the  year  ended
          December 31, 1994.


     2.   In  March  1995  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
          Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  121,
          "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
          Assets to be Disposed  Of."  Adoption of SFAS No. 121 is required  for
          fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will adopt
          this new standard  effective January 1, 1996, and believes it will not
          have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
          position or results of operations.


Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL
        CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     The following  discussion and analysis  presents factors which affected the
results of  operations  for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995
(respectively,  the  "current  periods"),  and  the  financial  position  as  of
September  30,  1995,  of Oklahoma  Gas and  Electric  Company  ("OG&E") and its
wholly-owned non-utility subsidiary, Enogex Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Enogex")
(collectively,  the "Company").  Unless indicated otherwise, all comparisons are
with the corresponding periods of the prior year.

     As  reported in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1994, the Company restructured and redesigned its operations to reduce costs and
to  more  favorably  position  itself  for  the  competitive   electric  utility
environment.  As part of this  process,  the Company  offered a Voluntary  Early
Retirement  Package ("VERP") and a severance package in 1994. These two packages
resulted  in a  reduction  of  the  Company's  workforce  by  approximately  900
employees.  Pursuant to an order by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC"),
OG&E was permitted to amortize the related  regulatory asset of $48.9 million as
of December 31, 1994 over 26 months and reduce  electric rates by  approximately
$15 million  annually,  effective  January  1995.  At September  30,  1995,  the
unamortized  regulatory  asset  was  $32.0  million,  which is  included  on the
Consolidated  Balance Sheets as Deferred  Charges - Other. In 1995 and 1996, the
labor  savings are  expected to  substantially  offset the  amortization  of the
regulatory asset and the annual rate reduction of $15 million.

     On July 19,  1995,  the  Company  announced  its intent to create a holding
company that would be the parent company of OG&E and Enogex.  See Item 5 of Part
II of this Report.

Revenues

     Total  operating  revenues  increased  $24.3  million or 5.5 percent in the
three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was primarily  attributable
to  increased  electric  sales due to a return  to more  normal  weather  and an
increase in the number of electric  customers.  These  increases  were partially
offset by the rate reduction that took effect in January 1995 and slightly lower
Enogex revenues.  In the nine-month  period,  total operating revenues decreased
$55.6  million  or 5.2  percent  due to milder  weather  in the first and second
quarters,  the recovery of lower fuel costs, the rate reduction, a non-recurring
fuel related  revenue item in 1994 and lower Enogex  revenues.  These  decreases
were partially offset by continued customer growth.

     The impact of the return to more  normal  weather  and  continued  customer
growth  resulted in an increase  of 7.8 percent in  kilowatt-hour  sales to OG&E
customers ("system sales") in the three months ended September 30, 1995. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, system sales remained  relatively constant
due to continued customer growth, which offset the mild weather in the first two
quarters of 1995. Sales to other utilities  increased  significantly  during the
current periods;  however, sales to other utilities are at much lower prices per
kilowatt-hour and have less impact on operating revenues than system sales.

     Enogex  revenues  decreased  2.7  percent  and 23.4  percent in the current
periods. These reductions were due primarily to a reduced emphasis on low margin
off-system  natural gas sales and lower  natural gas prices on gas purchased and
resold.


<PAGE>



Expenses

     Total  operating  expenses  increased  $13.9  million or 4.1 percent in the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and decreased $56.2 million or 6.3 percent
in the nine-month period. In the three-month  period, the increase was primarily
due to increased  fuel costs  associated  with higher  electric sales and higher
current income taxes from increased pre-tax income.  Fuel expense increased $7.3
million or 8.3 percent in the three-month period due to increased kilowatt-hours
generated. This increase was partially offset by shifting to a higher percentage
of generation  produced with lower priced coal,  combined with reductions in the
cost of gas in the current periods.  In the nine-month  period,  the decrease in
total operating  expenses was due to reduced fuel costs,  less purchased  power,
lower  maintenance  costs and lower  volumes  and prices  paid by Enogex for gas
purchased for resale to third parties. 

     Variances  in the  actual  cost of fuel  used in  electric  generation  and
certain purchased power costs, as compared to that component in  cost-of-service
for  ratemaking,  are  passed  through  to  OG&E's  electric  customers  through
automatic fuel adjustment  clauses.  The automatic fuel  adjustment  clauses are
subject to periodic  review by the OCC, the Arkansas  Public Service  Commission
("APSC") and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Enogex Inc. owns
and operates a pipeline  business  that delivers  natural gas to the  generating
stations of OG&E.  The OCC, the APSC and the FERC have  authority to examine the
appropriateness  of any gas  transportation  charges  or other  fees  OG&E  pays
Enogex,  which OG&E seeks to recover through the fuel adjustment clause or other
tariffs.  The APSC is presently  reviewing the gas  transportation  charges OG&E
pays Enogex. (See Item 1 of Part II of this Report for related discussion.)

     Purchased  power  decreased  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995
primarily due to the  availability of larger  quantities of economically  priced
energy in 1994.

     Enogex's gas purchased for resale  decreased  $28.2 million or 31.8 percent
in the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 due to a  reduced  emphasis  on
marketing low margin off-system natural gas and a decline in the market price of
natural gas purchased.

     Maintenance  expense  increased during the three months ended September 30,
1995 due to a major storm in the Company's  service area,  costs associated with
transformer  repairs and the  write-off of obsolete  inventory.  Notwithstanding
these  increases,  maintenance  costs during the nine months ended September 30,
1995  decreased due to the workforce  reduction and  efficiencies  gained in the
maintenance of the Company's power plants.

     For  the  three  months  ended   September  30,  1995,   depreciation   and
amortization  increased primarily due to higher levels of depreciable  property.
In the  nine-month  period,  the  increase  is  primarily  due to an increase in
depreciable  property,  higher oil and gas production volumes (based on units of
production  depreciation  method) and  amortization  of gas sales  contracts  by
Enogex.

<PAGE>



     During the three months  ended  September  30,  1995,  Current and Deferred
income tax expense had a net increase of approximately $8 million  primarily due
to higher pre-tax  income;  however,  during the  nine-month  period these taxes
remained  relatively  constant.  The variance between Current and Deferred taxes
during  the  current  periods   resulted  from  normally   occurring   temporary
differences.

     The  decreases  in interest on long-term  debt in the current  periods were
primarily  attributable  to Enogex's  refinancing  of $90 million of medium-term
notes in August 1994 and OG&E's  refinancing  of $79 million of tax exempt bonds
in January 1995.

Earnings

     Net income  increased $10.7 million or 12.4 percent and $1.5 million or 1.3
percent  during the current  periods.  The  increases  in  earnings  reflect the
effects of the revenue and expense items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The  Company  meets its cash  needs  through  internally  generated  funds,
permanent financing and short-term  borrowings.  Internally  generated funds and
short-term  borrowings  are  expected  to meet  virtually  all of the  Company's
capital requirements through the remainder of 1995.  Short-term  borrowings will
continue to be used to meet temporary cash requirements.

     In  August  1994,  Enogex   temporarily   refinanced  its  $90  million  of
outstanding  medium-term  notes  with  short-term  borrowings.   In  August  and
September 1995,  Enogex issued $120 million of medium-term  notes at a composite
interest rate of 6.89 percent and replaced the short-term borrowings.

     In January  1995,  OG&E  refinanced  its  obligations  with  respect to $47
million of 5.875 percent  Pollution  Control Revenue Bonds due December 1, 2007,
and $32 million of 6.75 percent  Pollution  Control  Revenue  Bonds due March 1,
2006,  through the issuance of two new series of pollution control bonds bearing
interest at variable,  tax-exempt rates. The annualized  composite interest rate
on the two new series of bonds was approximately 4.1 percent for the period from
their date of issuance  through  September  30,  1995.  These  refinancings  are
resulting in lower long-term interest rates during 1995.

     In October  1995,  OG&E issued  $220  million of  long-term  debt with $110
million at 6.25  percent due October 15, 2000 and $110  million at 7.30  percent
due  October  15,  2025.  The  proceeds  from the sale of this new debt  will be
applied to the redemption on November 29, 1995, of $30 million  principal amount
of the Company's  8.625 percent First  Mortgage  Bonds due January 1, 2000,  $75
million principal amount of the Company's 8.375 percent First Mortgage Bonds due
January 1, 2004,  $60 million  principal  amount of the Company's  9.125 percent
First Mortgage Bonds due January 1, 2005,  and $55 million  principal  amount of
the  Company's  8.625 percent  First  Mortgage  Bonds due January 1, 2006 at the
principal amount plus the applicable  redemption premium and accrued interest to
the redemption date.


<PAGE>



     Management  will  continue to evaluate the  Company's  debt  portfolio  and
expects to issue additional debt to replace other bonds as appropriate.

     Like any business, the Company is subject to numerous  contingencies,  many
of which are beyond its control.  For  discussion of  significant  contingencies
that  could  affect the  Company,  reference  is made to Part II,  Item 1 "Legal
Proceedings" of this Form 10-Q and to "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and
Notes  9 and  10 of  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in the
Company's 1994 Form 10-K.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     For a description of certain legal proceedings presently pending, reference
is made to: (i) Item 3 of the Company's  1994 Form 10-K,  (ii) Item 1 of Part II
of the Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 and (iii) Item 1 of Part II of the Company's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Except as set forth below, there are no new
significant  cases to  report  for  Oklahoma  Gas and  Electric  Company  or its
subsidiary,  Enogex  Inc.,  and there  have been no  significant  changes in the
previously reported proceedings.

     Reference is made to paragraph  No. 1 under Item 3 "Legal  Proceedings"  of
the Company's 1994 Form 10-K involving a breach of contract claim by Puritan Oil
and Gas Corporation against OG&E. On January 4, 1994, the United States District
Court for the Western  District of Oklahoma  dismissed  Count III of Plaintiffs'
claim.  Plaintiffs'  appeal of this order was denied on January 11, 1995, by the
10th Circuit  Court of Appeals  pursuant to a  stipulation  of the parties.  The
remaining   breach  of  contract   claims  were  submitted  to  private  binding
arbitration.  The first and second phases of the arbitration have been concluded
and the  third  stage  is  expected  to be  completed  by the  end of the  year.
Management  does not believe the outcome of this proceeding will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's  consolidated  financial position or its results
of operations for numerous  reasons,  which include that the underlying  dispute
between the parties is a  contractual  dispute  under a gas  purchase  contract.
Management is vigorously pursuing the defense of this matter.

     Reference is made to paragraph  No. 5 under Item 3 "Legal  Proceedings"  of
the Company's 1994 Form 10-K involving the voluntary  disclosure under the Toxic
Substance Control Act ("TSCA"). On September 18, 1995, the EPA filed a Complaint
and Notice of Opportunity  for Hearing  pursuant to Section 16 of the TSCA which
sets forth known  counts of alleged  violations.  The proposed  fine,  which was
mitigated  due  to  the  Company's  voluntary   disclosure,   was  approximately
$25,000.00.  The Company  entered into a Consent  Agreement/Consent  Order which
finalizes this matter.

     The APSC is  currently  reviewing  the  amounts  that OG&E pays  Enogex and
recovers  through its fuel  adjustment  clause for  transporting  natural gas to
OG&E's gas-fired  generating  stations.  OG&E cannot predict the outcome of this
review.  Nevertheless,  at the present  time,  management  does not believe this
proceeding  will have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  consolidated
financial position or its results of operations.

Item 5 OTHER INFORMATION

     Holding Company Restructuring
     -----------------------------

     As previously  reported on its Form 8-K Current Report dated July 26, 1995,
OG&E has proposed a corporate  restructuring  pursuant to which it will become a
subsidiary of a  newly-formed  holding  company ("OGE Energy  Corp.") and OG&E's
common stock will be exchanged  on a  share-for-share  basis for common stock of
OGE Energy Corp.


<PAGE>




     Also as a part of this restructuring,  OG&E's subsidiary, Enogex Inc., will
become a direct  subsidiary of OGE Energy Corp. The  restructuring is subject to
certain conditions,  including shareowner approval and the receipt of regulatory
approvals.  A special  shareowners meeting has been set for November 16, 1995 to
vote on the proposed restructuring.


Unaudited Pro Forma Financial  Information
- ------------------------------------------

     The  following  unaudited  pro forma  financial  information  presents  the
historical consolidated balance sheet, statement of income and retained earnings
and ratio of  earnings  to fixed  charges  of OG&E  after  giving  effect to the
restructuring, including the transfer of Enogex Inc. and its subsidiaries to OGE
Energy Corp. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet at September 30, 1995,  gives
effect to the  restructuring  as if it had occurred at September  30, 1995.  The
unaudited pro forma statement of income for the period ended September 30, 1995,
gives effect to the  restructuring as if it had occurred at the beginning of the
period presented. The unaudited pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
the twelve months ended September 30, 1995, gives effect to the restructuring as
if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

     The pro forma  financial  information has been prepared from, and should be
read in conjunction with, the historical  consolidated  financial statements and
related  notes  thereto of OG&E and the Form 8-K Current  Report dated August 3,
1995 (File No. 1-1097) which is incorporated herein by reference.  The following
information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating
results that would have occurred had the  transaction  been  consummated  on the
date, or at the  beginning of the periods,  for which the  transaction  is being
given effect nor is it  necessarily  indicative of future  operating  results or
financial position.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          1.   Subsidiary assets, liabilities,  equity and results of operations
               have been eliminated from consolidated  Oklahoma Gas and Electric
               Company  amounts to reflect the transfer of ownership and control
               of all consolidated  subsidiaries  from Oklahoma Gas and Electric
               Company to OGE Energy Corp.

          2.   After the transaction, Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company will not
               retain ownership of the subsidiary  currently being consolidated.
               Consequently,  intercompany transactions between Oklahoma Gas and
               Electric Company and its current consolidated subsidiary have not
               been eliminated in the pro forma financial statements.

               The most significant  intercompany  transactions are transmission
               fees and related  charges to Oklahoma  Gas and  Electric  Company
               from  Enogex,  its  subsidiary  whose core  business  has been to
               deliver  natural gas to Oklahoma Gas and Electric  Company  power
               plants.  The amount of these charges were $33.5 million for the 9
               months ended September 30, 1995.
