           * Bonneville  Pacific  Corporation  ("BPCO")  has filed for 
             protection under Chapter 11 of the  federal  Bankruptcy  Code.
             Portland General Holdings, Inc. Is a shareholder  and  creditor of
             BPCO.   During  1996 Portland General Holdings, Inc. settled  all
             disputes with BPCO with regard to the bankruptcy proceedings.  As
             a result  of  the  settlement,  Portland General Holdings, Inc. 
             decreased  its  stock  holdings  to  2,000,000  shares  of BPCO 
             common stock.  Since 1992 Portland General Holdings, Inc. has not
             been a member of the Creditors Committee or otherwise involved in
             the operations of BPCO, and has not known the ownership status of
             the BPCO subsidiaries.  As a result of the settlement, the 
             listing of BPCO subsidiaries as of December 31, 1992, in prior 
             filings, has been deleted from this report.

public utility used for generation, transmission  and  distribution of electric
energy   for   sale,   including  location  of  principal  generating   plants,

     Claimant -

           Portland General  Corporation has no properties other than the stock
           of its subsidiaries and an immaterial amount of office equipment and
           furniture.  Its only  public  utility subsidiary is Portland General
           Electric Company ("PGE").

                                        <PAGE>


     Public Utility Subsidiary -

           PGE   is   engaged  in  the  generation,   purchase,   transmission,
           distribution  and  sale  of  electric  energy  in Oregon.  PGE has a
           321  MW  ownership  interest  in  generating  plants  in  Washington
           (1  plant) and Montana (2 plants), comprising approximately  15%  of
           its  total  generating  capacity.   PGE  sells  electric  energy  at
           wholesale  in  interstate  commerce to electric utilities located in
           other states, primarily California.   PGE  purchases electric energy
           from public utility districts located in the State of Washington and
           from nonassociated utilities in Oregon, Washington,  Montana, Idaho,
           Arizona,  New Mexico, California and Canada.  PGE purchases  surplus
           electric energy  from the Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA"), a
           federal agency that  markets  electric  energy  generated by federal
           hydroelectric  dams  located  on the Columbia River  in  Oregon  and
           Washington.

           PGE owns wholly or jointly the following generating facilities:

           PGE's electric distribution system  is  located  within  its service
           territory  in  Oregon.   PGE  serves  an area of 3,170 square miles,
           including 54 incorporated cities.  PGE  has  transmission  lines for
           the delivery of electricity from its plants located in Oregon to its
           service  territory  or to the Northwest grid.  Electric energy  from
           the plants located in  other  states  is  delivered  to PGE over the
           Northwest grid.  PGE owns 20% of the Pacific Northwest  Intertie,  a
           4,800 MW transmission facility between John Day, in Northern Oregon,
           and Malin, in Southern Oregon near the California border.  This line
           is  used  primarily  for  interstate sales and purchases of electric
           energy among BPA, utilities in the Pacific Northwest, including PGE,
           and California utilities.

           PGE has a 90% ownership interest  in  a 20 inch diameter natural gas
           pipeline that runs approximately 18 miles from its Beaver generating
           plant, located in Clatskanie, Oregon, to  Cowlitz  County Washington
           where  it interconnects with the interstate gas distribution  system
           of Northwest Pipeline Company.
