                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Southern 
California Edison Company and the Board of Directors of SCEcorp:

    We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Southern California Edison Company
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1994, and 1993, and the related statements
of income and changes in Plan equity for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of Southern California Edison Company's 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, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Plan as
of December 31, 1994, and 1993, and the income and changes in Plan equity
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.  Summary of Plan Provisions


   Description of the Plan --

       Southern California Edison Company (Edison) established the Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (Plan) and Trust, effective January 1, 1976, for the
benefit of its employees (including those employees of The Mission Group,
an affiliate) who are eligible to participate (Participants) and their
beneficiaries.  Wells Fargo Bank (Trustee) acted as trustee of the Plan
through March 31, 1993.  Effective April 1, 1993, the trustee function was
transferred to First Interstate Bank.

       Edison has elected to amend the Plan to provide for the systematic
transfer of amounts that have been held by the Plan for 84 months or more
to the Stock Savings Plus Plan of Edison.  The asset transfers were
completed by November 1994.  The Plan was terminated effective December
31, 1994.


   Edison contributions --

       In response to changes in tax laws, the funding of employee stock
ownership plans was changed effective January 1, 1983, from a method based
on Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to a payroll-tax-credit-based method.  The
Plan was amended effective July 21, 1983, to be eligible for this method
of funding.  Edison contributions for Plan years 1983-1984 could not
exceed 1/2% of the total Edison payroll for the year.  As a result of
other tax law changes, the payroll tax credit does not apply to employee
compensation paid or accrued after December 31, 1986.

       There were no contributions by Edison or Participants in 1994, 1993
or 1992.


   Subsequent disallowance and recapture --

       In the event of recapture or disallowance of tax credits forming the
basis of Edison contributions after 1978, Edison may deduct such amounts
on its tax return (subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (Code)
limitations).  Such amounts may not be withdrawn from the Plan.  Edison
has been audited for tax years through 1988.  As of December 31, 1994,
final determinations had not been made for audited years after 1982. 


   Tax status of the Plan and Trust --

       The Plan, as amended effective May 21, 1986, qualifies under the
requirements of Sections 401(a) and 409(a) of the Code.  Edison
contributions and earnings from qualified plans are not taxable to the

Note 1.  Summary of Plan Provisions (Continued)


   Tax status of the Plan and Trust -- (continued)

Participants until distributed under the provisions of Section 402 of the
Code.  A determination request has been submitted to the IRS with respect
to Plan changes adopted since that time requesting the IRS to confirm that
the Plan met all qualifications requirements in effect on the date of its
termination.  In Edison's opinion, amendments made subsequent to May 21,
1986, will not affect the tax exempt status of the Plan.


   Plan administration expenses --

       Administrative expenses of the Trustee and other Plan expenses are
paid from the Plan assets, subject to a Code limitation based upon Plan
income.  Amounts which exceed the limitation stated under the Plan are
paid by Edison.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


   Valuation of investments --

       Investments are stated at market value.  Share figures reflect the
two-for-one split of SCEcorp common stock effective June 1, 1993.  The
change in the difference between market value of investments and cost
determined on an average cost basis during the year is reflected as the
"Decrease in Value of Investment in Stock" on the Statements of Income
and Changes in Plan Equity.


   Cost of investments --

       All shares purchased for the Plan from June 1992 through the
termination of the Plan were acquired on the open market, with cost
determined on an average cost basis.  For the period October 1991 through
May 1992, all shares were purchased directly from SCEcorp, with cost
determined using the average of the closing prices quoted on the New York
Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the dividend payment date.


Note 3.  Distributions to Participants or their Beneficiaries

       Distributions of accumulated Plan benefits upon the death of a
Participant are made as soon as possible after the end of the calendar
month in which participation ends.  Distributions to Participants who have
separated from service for reasons other than retirement and who have
elected to defer distribution to a later month are made as soon as

possible after the end of the month in which they elect to end
participation, but no later than the end of the Plan year in  which they
attain age 65.  Distributions to retired Participants are made as soon as
possible after the close of the month in which a distribution election is
made.  Retired Participants may elect to receive their distributions as
of the end of any month until the end of the Plan year in which they
attain age 70 1/2.  Distributions made to Participants or their
beneficiaries were as follows:

      Participant withdrawals, which are settled in cash, are funded
through the sale of investment stock.  Therefore the market values
reflected in the preceding table represent the proceeds received by the
Plan upon disposition.

      Distributions and withdrawals made by Participants as of December 31
but not yet paid by the Plan are classified as a component of Plan equity
instead of liabilities.  Withdrawing Participants at December 31, 1993,
elected to receive 14,324 shares valued at $286,480 and cash of $222,488.


Note 4.  Unrealized Market Appreciation of Value of Investment in Stock

      Unrealized market appreciation of shares of SCEcorp common stock held
by the Plan is the difference between the acquisition cost and the market
value of such shares.  Unrealized market appreciation at the beginning of
each year is reconciled to the unrealized market appreciation at the end
of each year as follows:

1993 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP)

This is a summary of the annual report for the Southern California Edison
Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan, EIN 95-1240335-003, for January 1,
1993, through December 31, 1993.  The annual report has been filed with
the Internal Revenue Service, as required under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Basic Financial Statement

Benefits under the plan are provided by a trust.  Plan expenses were
$10,740,463.  These expenses included $100,000 in administrative expenses
and $10,640,463 in benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries.  A
total of 12,455 persons were participants in or beneficiaries of the plan
at the end of the plan year.

The value of plan assets, after subtracting liabilities of the plan, was
$176,258,496 as of December 31, 1993, compared to $334,788,219 as of
January 1, 1993.  During the plan year, the plan experienced a decrease
in its net assets of $158,529,723.  This decrease includes unrealized
appreciation and depreciation in the value of plan assets; that is, the
difference between the value of plan's assets at the end of the year and
the price the plan originally paid for those assets.  It also includes a
transfer of $163,063,061 during 1993, to the SCE Stock Savings Plus Plan
(SSPP) .  The plan had total income of $15,273,801, including gains of
$1,427,044 from the sale of assets and earnings from investments of
$13,846,757.

Minimum Funding Standards

Enough money was contributed to the plan to keep it funded in accordance
with the minimum standards of ERISA.
