INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Pinnacle West Capital Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of net assets available
for benefits of The Savings Plan for Employees of Arizona Public Service
Company, The Savings Plan for Union Employees of Arizona Public Service
Company and The Savings Plan for Employees of Pinnacle West Capital
Corporation (the "Plans") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
combined statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.  These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans' 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, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plans as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
combined financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental combining
information by fund is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of
the basic combined financial statements rather than to present information
regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements.  This supplemental information is the
responsibility of the Plans' management.  Such supplemental combining
information by fund has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the basic combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   --------------------------------------


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Method of Accounting - The financial statements in this report reflect
     the combined assets, liabilities and net assets available for benefits of
     The Savings Plan for Employees of Arizona Public Service Company (the
     "APS Savings Plan"), The Savings Plan for Union Employees of Arizona
     Public Service Company (the "APS Union Plan"), and The Savings Plan for
     Employees of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (the "Pinnacle West
     Plan").  The APS Savings Plan, the APS Union Plan, and the Pinnacle West
     Plan are collectively referred to as the "Plans."  The combined financial
     statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
     Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date.  Dividend
     income is recorded as of ex-dividend dates.  All the outstanding shares
     of common stock of Arizona Public Service Company ("APS") are owned by
     Pinnacle West Capital Corporation ("Pinnacle West").  Certain prior year
     balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1993 presentation.

     Investments - The Plans consist of a salary reduction arrangement and an
     employer matching contribution feature.  The investment programs for the
     Plans consist of the Pinnacle West Stock Fund, the Index Fund, and the
     Fixed Income Fund.

     The Pinnacle West Stock Fund consists primarily of common stock of
     Pinnacle West.  The common stock is stated at fair value based on quoted
     market prices in an active market.  The Index Fund (consisting of common
     stocks maintained by the Trustee (defined below) as part of a commingled
     fund) is stated at fair value generally based on the last reported sales
     price on the last business day of the calendar year.  The Fixed Income
     Fund (consisting of several guaranteed interest contracts with varying
     rates of interest and varying maturities, with a weighted net rate at
     December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991 of 6.65%, 8.00%, and 8.78%,
     respectively) is stated at cost which approximates fair value.  The cost
     of investments sold is determined using average costs.


2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANS

     General - The APS Savings Plan and APS Union Plan (collectively, the "APS
     Plans") are administered by a committee appointed by the APS Board of
     Directors.  The Pinnacle West Plan is administered by a committee
     appointed by the Pinnacle West Board of Directors.  The Plans are subject
     to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA"). State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Trustee") is the
     Trustee for the Plans under a master trust agreement.

     Eligibility - Substantially all employees of APS and Pinnacle West
     (collectively, the "Companies" or the "Employer") are eligible to
     participate in the pre-tax and after-tax features of the Plans upon
     attaining age 21 and completing thirty-one days of consecutive
     employment for the APS Plans and thirty days of consecutive employment
     for the Pinnacle West Plan and are eligible to participate in the
     matching feature upon attaining age 21 and completing one year of
     service.  The Pinnacle West Plan allows participation by employees of a
     company that becomes an affiliate of Pinnacle West if such employees
     were formerly participants in a certain type of qualified plan
     sponsored by their employer, regardless of whether they have satisfied
     the Pinnacle West Plan's other eligibility requirements.

     Contributions - Participants may direct the Companies to contribute any
     whole percentage from 1% to 10% of the participants' pre-tax base pay
     from the Company as their tax deferred contribution to the Plans.  The
     maximum allowable base pay ($235,840 in 1993) and tax deferred
     contribution ($8,994 in 1993) are linked to the cost of living index
     and could change on an annual basis.  In addition to or in lieu of
     making tax deferred contributions to the Plans, participants may elect
     to make contributions of up to 10% of their after-tax base pay as a
     voluntary contribution, provided that in no event can the total tax
     deferred and voluntary contributions made by any participant in any
     year exceed 16% of his or her base pay.

     The Companies will contribute to the account of each participant in the
     Plans' matching feature a minimum amount equal to 30% of such
     participant's contribution of up to 6% of the participant's pre-tax
     compensation (defined here as the participant's "required
     contribution").  Employer contributions will be increased (i) by an
     additional one percent for each one percent increase in Pinnacle West
     consolidated net income from continuing operations over the prior year
     and (ii) by an additional amount determined at the sole discretion of
     each Company's Board of Directors, up to a total Employer contribution
     of not more than 50 percent of participant required contributions.  The
     Employer contributions may be in cash, common stock or other property
     acceptable to the Trustee.

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Plans were amended to allow rollover
     contributions from another qualified plan or individual retirement
     account subject to certain criteria.

     Investment Programs - Participants' contributions may be invested in
     one or more of the following funds:  Pinnacle West Stock Fund, Index
     Fund, or Fixed Income Fund.  All Employer contributions are invested in
     the Pinnacle West Stock Fund.

     Vesting - Each participant is fully vested as to the participant's
     contribution account (consisting of the participant's contributions and
     related income and appreciation or depreciation).  The participants
     become vested in their Employer contribution account (consisting of
     Employer contributions and related income and appreciation or
     depreciation) in the event of termination of service by death,
     disability or retirement, upon attaining the age of sixty-five, upon
     completion of five years of service, upon termination of the Plans, or
     upon complete discontinuance of Employer contributions; otherwise,
     participants vest in graduated amounts with 100 percent vesting in five
     plan years, beginning with the first plan year an Employer contribution
     is made on behalf of the participants.  Once a participant is fully
     vested as to Employer contributions in any year, all amounts then and
     thereafter credited to his or her Employer contribution account will be
     fully vested.

     Withdrawals and Distributions - A participant may at any time make a
     full or partial withdrawal of the balance in the participant's
     after-tax contribution account and rollover contribution account.  No
     withdrawals are permitted from a participant's transfer account.  No
     withdrawals are permitted from the participant's pre-tax contribution
     account, except under certain limited circumstances relating to
     financial hardship.  If an employee withdraws pre-tax contributions,
     the only earnings on those contributions that can be withdrawn are
     those credited prior to 1989.  Generally, participants who are fully
     vested and who have participated in the Plans for five complete plan
     years may withdraw the amount in their Employer contribution account.
     When the participant's employment with the Companies is terminated, the
     participant generally can elect to receive an immediate distribution of
     the vested portion of his or her Employer contribution account together
     with the participant's contribution accounts.

     Forfeitures - Forfeitures of nonvested Employer contributions will
     occur upon distribution following termination of employment with the
     Companies.  However, if a former participant again becomes an employee
     of the Companies prior to the end of the fifth calendar year following
     the calendar year in which the participant's earlier termination of
     employment occurred, the forfeited Employer contributions will be
     restored to the participant's Employer contribution account.  Beginning
     in 1991, the forfeited contributions will be restored to the accounts
     of participants in the APS Plans provided that the participant repays
     in full the amount previously distributed from the APS Plans.
     Forfeitures are used to reduce future Employer contributions to the
     Plans.

     Termination of the Plans - It is the Companies' present expectation
     that these Plans and the payment of Employer contributions will be
     continued indefinitely.  However, continuance of any feature of the
     Plans is not assumed as a contractual obligation.  The Companies, at
     their discretion, may terminate their respective plans and distribute
     net assets.  In this event, the balance credited to the accounts of
     participants at the date of termination shall be fully vested and
     nonforfeitable.


3.   INCOME TAX STATUS

     The Plans have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
     qualified plans under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  As
     long as the Plans continue to be so qualified, under present Federal
     income tax laws and regulations:  (a) participants will not be
     currently taxed on Employer contributions, on a certain portion of
     their own contributions (see Note 2), or on investment earnings on any
     contributions at the time such investment earnings are received by the
     Trustee, but will be subject to tax thereon at such time as they
     receive actual benefits from the Plans; and (b) the Plans will not be
     taxed on their dividend and interest income or any capital gains
     realized by them or on any unrealized appreciation of investments.

4.   UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS

     Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for
     each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 were as
     follows:

                           Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

5.  BENEFITS PAYABLE

    As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, net assets available for benefits
    included benefits of $535,234 and $254,192, respectively, due to
    participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plans.

6.  PARTICIPATING EMPLOYEES

    Index and Fixed Income Funds.  The number of units and related net
    asset value per unit at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as follows:


                                                       Fixed
