         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 June 30,  1995,  and
   December 31, 1994, and the results of operations and  the
   changes  in  cash flows for the periods  ended  June  30,
   1995, and June 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
six  months ended June 30, 1995 (respectively, the  "current
periods"), and the financial position as of June  30,  1995,
of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E") and its wholly-
owned   non-utility   subsidiary,  Enogex   Inc.   and   its


<PAGE>    5


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
December 31, 1994, regulatory asset of $48.9 million over 26
months  and  reduce  electric  rates  by  approximately  $15
million annually, effective January 1995.  At June 30, 1995,
the unamortized regulatory asset was $37.6 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 decreased $42.5  million  or
12.3  percent  and  $80.0 million or  12.7  percent  in  the
current    periods.    These   decreases   were    primarily
attributable to lower kilowatt-hour sales, the  recovery  of
lower  fuel  costs, the $15.0 million annual rate  reduction
that  took  effect  in January 1995, a non-recurring,  fuel-
related  revenue  item in 1994, and lower  Enogex  revenues.
These  reductions were partially offset by continued  growth
in the number of electric customers.

      The  increase in customers only partially  offset  the
impact  of  mild  weather  in the  Company's  service  area,
resulting  in  decreases of 7.8 percent and 3.9  percent  in
kilowatt-hour sales to OG&E customers ("system  sales")  for
the  current  periods.  The decreases in system  sales  were
partially offset by significant increases in sales to  other
utilities in the current periods.  However, sales  to  other
utilities  are  at  much lower prices per kilowatt-hour  and
have  less  impact  on operating revenues  and  income  than
system sales.

     Enogex revenues decreased 31.9 percent and 30.9 percent
in  the  current  periods.  These  reductions  were  due  to
decreased sales in the marketing (i.e., buying and  selling)
of natural gas and a decline in the price of natural gas.

EXPENSES

      Total  operating expenses decreased $34.9  million  or
11.8  percent  and  $70.1 million or 12.5  percent  for  the
current   periods,  due  to  reduced  fuel  expense,   lower
maintenance  expenses,  labor  savings  from  the  workforce
reduction and lower prices paid for gas purchased for resale


<PAGE>    6


to  third  parties by Enogex.  Fuel expense  decreased  $3.9
million or 5.9 percent and $17.4 million or 13.5 percent for
the  current  periods.  The decrease in the 3  months  ended
June 30, 1995, was due to lower prices of natural gas in the
spot  market.  The decrease in the 6 months ended  June  30,
1995, was primarily attributable 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 customer 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 paid Enogex for periods prior to
1994.   (See  Item 1 of Part II of this Report  for  related
discussion.)

      Enogex's  gas  purchased for  resale  decreased  $11.3
million or 36.8 percent and $28.5 million or 41.9 percent in
the  current periods due to  lower volumes in its  marketing
of  natural gas and a decline in the market price of natural
gas purchases.

      Significant decreases in maintenance costs during  the
current  periods  were  due to the workforce  reduction  and
efficiencies  gained  in the maintenance  of  the  Company's
power plants.

      Depreciation and amortization  increased  in  the  six
months ended June 30, 1995, 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.

     Current income taxes in the three months ended June 30,
1995, were down due to lower pre-tax earnings.  In the  six-
month  period, lower pre-tax earnings were partially  offset
by  costs  related  to  the  VERP which  are  not  currently
deductible for income tax purposes.

      The  decreases  in  interest charges  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 $79,050,000 of tax  exempt  bonds  in
January 1995.

EARNINGS

      Net income decreased $6.8 million or 22.0 percent  and
$9.2  million  or  28.2 percent during the current  periods.
The decreases 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 1995, Enogex issued $90  million  of
medium-term notes at 6.96 percent to replace the  short-term
borrowings.

      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 resulting in lower long-term interest rates
during 1995.

      In August 1995, OG&E anticipates filing a registration
statement  for the sale of up to $220 million  of  long-term
debt.   Assuming favorable market conditions, OG&E plans  to
issue  all  or  part of the debt to refinance  one  or  more
series  of  its  outstanding first  mortgage  bonds  bearing
higher interest rates.

      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  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  late  1995.
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 intends  to  vigorously
pursue the defense of this matter.

      Reference  is  made to paragraph No. 4  under  Item  3
"Legal   Proceedings"  of  the  Company's  1994  Form   10-K
involving   an   Environmental  Protection  Agency   ("EPA")
administrative  action involving OG&E  and  Martha  C.  Rose
Chemicals, Inc.  The site has since been remediated  by  the
Steering  Committee and is currently in the final stages  of
closure  with the EPA.  Based on the current stage  of  this
proceeding, management does not believe this proceeding will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or its results of operations.

      The  APSC is currently reviewing the amounts that OG&E
paid  Enogex,  and  recovered through  its  fuel  adjustment
clause, prior to 1994 for transporting natural gas to OG&E's
gas-fired  generating stations.  OG&E  cannot  predict  what
actions the APSC will take or the amount of refunds, if any,
that  may be requested.  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

     As previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K, dated
July  26,  1995 (File No. 1-1097), OG&E's Board of Directors
named   Steven  E.  Moore,  President  and  Chief  Operating
Officer.   Mr.  Moore  previously  served  as  Senior   Vice
President,  Law  and Public Affairs.  James G.  Harlow,  Jr.
retained  the  title  of Chairman of  the  Board  and  Chief
Executive Officer.

     Also,  as  previously  reported, OG&E  has  proposed  a
corporate restructuring pursuant to which it will  become  a
subsidiary  of a newly-formed holding company (the  "Holding
Company")  and  OG&E's common stock will be exchanged  on  a
share-for-share  basis  for  common  stock  of  the  Holding
Company.   OG&E's  outstanding  preferred  stock  and  first
mortgage  bonds  will  not be exchanged  and  will  continue
unchanged  as  preferred stock and first mortgage  bonds  of
OG&E.   Also,  as  a  part  of  this  restructuring,  OG&E's
subsidiary, Enogex Inc., will become a direct subsidiary  of
the  Holding  Company.   The  restructuring  is  subject  to
certain  conditions, including shareowner approval  and  the
receipt of regulatory approvals.  Reference is made  to  the
Company's Form 8-K, dated August 3, 1995 (File No.  1-1097),
which  contains  certain pro forma financial information  of
OG&E after giving effect to the restructuring, including the
transfer of Enogex to the Holding Company.  Such Form 8-K is
incorporated herein by this reference.
