                               (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 and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995,  and
             December  31,  1994, and the results of operations  and
             the  changes in cash flows for the periods ended  March
             31,  1995,  and March 31, 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 these costs will  not  have  a
             material  impact on its 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
        months ended March 31, 1995 (the "current period"), and  the
        financial position as of March 31, 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  period  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 in order  to  more
        favorably  position  itself  for  the  competitive  electric
        utility  environment.  As part of this process, the  Company
        implemented  a  Voluntary Early Retirement Package  ("VERP")
        and a severance package in 1994.  These two packages reduced
        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
        December 31, 1994, regulatory asset of $48.9 million over 26
        months  and  reduce its electric rates by approximtaely  $15
        million  annually,  effective January 1995.   At  March  31,
        1995,  the  unamortized regulatory asset was $43.3  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.

        REVENUES

              Although total kilowatt-hour sales remained relatively
        constant,  electric utility revenues decreased  $24  million
        due  to the recovery of lower fuel costs, milder weather and
        the  rate  reduction which was effective  in  January  1995.
        These reductions were partially offset by continued customer
        growth.  Enogex  revenues decreased $13.5 million,  or  29.9
        percent,  due  to  a  decline in prices and  slightly  lower
        volumes in gas marketing.

        EXPENSES

              Total  operating expenses decreased $35.2  million  or
        13.4  percent  primarily due to reduced fuel  expense,  less
        maintenance  expense,  the workforce reduction  and  reduced
        prices  Enogex  paid for gas purchased for resale  to  third
        parties.  These decreases were partially offset by increases
        in other operation and depreciation.

<PAGE> 6

              Fuel  expense decreased $13.4 million in  the  current
        period  due  to shifting the fuel mix to a higher percentage
        of  coal.   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.

              Enogex's  gas  purchased for  resale  decreased  $17.2
        million  or 46.2 percent, due to slightly lower volumes  and
        significantly lower purchase prices.

             The increase in other operation resulted primarily from
        amortizing  approximately  $5.6 million  of  the  regulatory
        asset  associated  with the workforce reduction  to  expense
        during  the  current period.  Depreciation and  amortization
        increased  primarily due to higher oil  and  gas  production
        volumes  (based on units of production depreciation  method)
        and   amortization  of  a  gas  sales  contract  by  Enogex.
        Maintenance  decreased  due to the workforce  reduction  and
        efficiencies  created  in maintaining  the  Company's  power
        plants.   Income  taxes  in  the  current  period  decreased
        primarily due to lower pre-tax earnings.

              Factors  increasing interest expense  in  the  current
        period  include:   1)  a  one-time  charge  of  $726,000  of
        unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, resulting from
        refinancing  approximately $79 million of pollution  control
        bonds; and 2) increases in short-term interest rates.  These
        factors were partially offset by savings resulting from OG&E
        refinancing  $79  million of its pollution  control  revenue
        bonds in January 1995 and Enogex temporarily refinancing its
        $90  million  of medium-term notes with short-term  debt  in
        August  of 1994.  Enogex expects to issue long-term debt  in
        the  second  quarter,  replacing the short-term  debt.   See
        "Liquidity and Capital Requirements."

        EARNINGS

              The  current  period  loss of  $861,000  represents  a
        decrease of $2.4 million in net income.  Enogex's net income
        increased  approximately $2.3 million in the current  period
        due  to  higher margins on natural gas sales, reductions  in
        other  natural  gas  purchase  expenses  and  increased  tax
        credits.

        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 redeemed its $90  million  of
        outstanding  medium-term notes, with interest rates  ranging
        from  9.88  percent  to 10.11 percent.   Enogex  anticipates
        issuing  long-term  debt in the second quarter  of  1995  to
        replace  short-term  borrowings  in  connection  with   such
        redemption.

              In  January 1995, OG&E refinanced its obligations with
        respect to $47,000,000 of 5 7/8  percent  Pollution  Control
        Revenue Bonds due December 1, 2007 and $32,050,000  of 6 3/4
        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.  These
        refinancings  are  expected  to result  in  lower  long-term
        interest rates during 1995.

              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

              Reference is made to Item 3 of the Company's 1994 Form
        10-K   for   a  description  of  certain  legal  proceedings
        presently pending.  Except as set forth below, there are  no
        new  significant  cases to report against 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 have
        been  submitted to private binding arbitration.   The  first
        phase  of the arbitration has been concluded and the  second
        stage  is  expected  to  be  completed  by  late  May  1995.
        Management believes the outcome of this proceeding will  not
        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  intends  to  vigorously  pursue  the
        defense of this matter.
