EDISON INTERNATIONAL

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management's Statement

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments have been made that are necessary
to present a fair statement of the financial  position and results of operations
for the periods covered by this report.

Edison International's  significant accounting policies were described in Note 1
of "Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements"  included  in its 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Edison
International  follows  the  same  accounting  policies  for  interim  reporting
purposes.  This  quarterly  report  should be read in  conjunction  with  Edison
International's  1998 Annual Report and Form 10-K filed with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform to the March 31, 1999,
financial statement presentation.

Since April 1, 1998, when the new market  structure  began, SCE has been selling
all of its  generation  through  the power  exchange  (PX),  as  mandated by the
California Public Utilities  Commission's  (CPUC) 1995  restructuring  decision.
Through the PX, SCE satisfies the electric energy needs of customers who did not
choose  an  alternative  energy  provider.  These  transactions  with the PX are
reported as Purchased power - power exchange - net. Generation sales through the
PX were $282  million  and $1.7  billion for the three and twelve  months  ended
March 31, 1999,  respectively.  Purchases from the PX were $399 million and $2.4
billion for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 1999, respectively.

Note 1. Regulatory Matters

Recovery of Restructuring Implementation Costs

The  independent  system  operator  (ISO)  assumed  operational  control  of the
transmission  system after the ISO and PX had begun accepting bids and schedules
for electricity  purchases on March 31, 1998. The  restructuring  implementation
costs related to the start-up and  development of the PX, which were paid by the
utilities,  were to be recovered  from all retail  customers  over the four-year
transition period.  SCE's share of the charge is $45 million,  plus interest and
fees. SCE's share of the ISO's start-up and development costs (approximately $16
million per year) will be paid over a 10-year period.  In May 1998, SCE filed an
application  with the CPUC to identify the  categories of such costs  (including
costs  related to the  implementation  of direct  access),  and to establish the
reasonableness  of those costs incurred in 1997. The CPUC split the  application
into two phases.

Two  proposed  decisions  Phase  1,  which  addressed  the  eligibility  of  the
implementation  costs,  were issued on March 11,  1999.  Both of these  proposed
decisions  reject SCE's request for a  determination  of eligibility for several
major categories of such costs. These proposed decisions further state that even
for the cost  categories they approve for  eligibility,  costs incurred in those
categories  after  December 31,  1998,  would not be  eligible.  Instead,  these
proposed  decisions  would have SCE recover many of the costs  identified in its
application  from market  revenue,  although the decisions  fail to identify the
market and no specific  mechanism  or  authority  to recover such costs from any
market has yet been  established.  SCE  disagrees  with much of the  conclusions
reached in these  proposed  decisions and has filed comments to that effect with
the CPUC. A final CPUC decision is expected  later this year.  Under both of the
proposed  decisions,  the  reasonableness  of 1997  and  1998  expenditures  for
eligible  restructuring costs would be addressed in a separate application later
this year.

Note 2.  Contingencies

In addition to the matters  disclosed in these notes,  Edison  International  is
involved in legal,  tax and  regulatory  proceedings  before  various courts and
governmental  agencies  regarding  matters  arising  in the  ordinary  course of
business.  Edison  International  believes the outcome of these proceedings will
not materially affect its results of operations or liquidity.

Environmental Protection

Edison International is subject to numerous  environmental laws and regulations,
which  require it to incur  substantial  costs to operate  existing  facilities,
construct and operate new facilities,  and mitigate or remove the effect of past
operations on the environment.

Edison International records its environmental liabilities when site assessments
and/or  remedial  actions are probable and a range of reasonably  likely cleanup
costs can be estimated.  Edison International reviews its sites and measures the
liability  quarterly,  by assessing a range of reasonably  likely costs for each
identified  site  using  currently  available  information,  including  existing
technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar
sites,  and the probable level of involvement  and financial  condition of other
potentially   responsible  parties.  These  estimates  include  costs  for  site
investigations,  remediation,  operations and  maintenance,  monitoring and site
closure.  Unless there is a probable amount,  Edison  International  records the
lower  end of this  reasonably  likely  range  of  costs  (classified  as  other
long-term liabilities at undiscounted amounts).

Edison International's  recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 49
identified  sites is $169  million.  The  ultimate  costs  to  clean  up  Edison
International's  identified  sites may vary from its recorded  liability  due to
numerous  uncertainties  inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent
and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites;
the varying costs of alternative  cleanup methods;  developments  resulting from
investigatory  studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the
time  periods  over  which  site  remediation  is  expected  to  occur.   Edison
International  believes  that,  due to  these  uncertainties,  it is  reasonably
possible  that cleanup  costs could exceed its recorded  liability by up to $285
million.  The upper limit of this range of costs was estimated using assumptions
least  favorable to Edison  International  among a range of reasonably  possible
outcomes.  SCE has sold all of its gas- and oil-fueled generation plants and has
retained some liability associated with the divested properties.

The CPUC allows SCE to recover  environmental-cleanup  costs at 41 of its sites,
representing  $87  million  of its  recorded  liability,  through  an  incentive
mechanism (SCE may request to include additional  sites).  Under this mechanism,
SCE will recover 90% of cleanup costs through  customer rates;  and shareholders
fund the  remaining  10%,  with the  opportunity  to  recover  these  costs from
insurance  carriers  and  other  third  parties.  SCE has  successfully  settled
insurance  claims  with  all  responsible  carriers.  Costs  incurred  at  SCE's
remaining sites are expected to be recovered  through  customer  rates.  SCE has
recorded  a  regulatory  asset  of  $137  million  for  its  estimated   minimum
environmental-cleanup costs expected to be recovered through customer rates.

Edison International's identified sites include several sites for which there is
a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of
contamination,  and the extent,  if any, that Edison  International  may be held
responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating  these sites.
Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can now be made for these sites.

Edison  International  expects to clean up its identified sites over a period of
up to 30 years. Remediation costs in each of the next several years are expected
to range from $4 million to $10  million.  Recorded  costs for the  twelve-month
period ended March 31, 1999 were $9 million.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Based on currently available  information,  Edison International  believes it is
unlikely  that it will  incur  amounts  in  excess  of the  upper  limit  of the
estimated   range  and,   based  upon  the  CPUC's   regulatory   treatment   of
environmental-cleanup costs, Edison International believes that costs ultimately
recorded  will not  materially  affect its results of  operations  or  financial
position.  There  can  be  no  assurance,  however,  that  future  developments,
including  additional  information about existing sites or the identification of
new sites, will not require material revisions to such estimates.

Nuclear Insurance

Federal  law limits  public  liability  claims  from a nuclear  incident to $9.8
billion.  SCE and other owners of the San Onofre and Palo Verde  nuclear  plants
have purchased the maximum private primary  insurance  available ($200 million).
The  balance is covered by the  industry's  retrospective  rating plan that uses
deferred  premium charges to every reactor licensee if a nuclear incident at any
licensed  reactor in the U.S.  results in claims  and/or  costs which exceed the
primary insurance at that plant site. Federal regulations require this secondary
level of financial  protection.  The Nuclear Regulatory  Commission exempted San
Onofre  Unit 1 from this  secondary  level,  effective  June 1994.  The  maximum
deferred premium for each nuclear  incident is $88 million per reactor,  but not
more  than $10  million  per  reactor  may be  charged  in any one year for each
incident.  Based on its  ownership  interests,  SCE could be  required  to pay a
maximum of $175 million per nuclear incident.  However,  it would have to pay no
more than $20 million per incident in any one year.  Such  amounts  include a 5%
surcharge if additional  funds are needed to satisfy public liability claims and
are subject to adjustment for inflation.  If the public liability limit above is
insufficient, federal regulations may impose further revenue-raising measures to
pay claims,  including a possible additional  assessment on all licensed reactor
operators.

Property  damage  insurance   covers  losses  up  to  $500  million,   including
decontamination costs, at San Onofre and Palo Verde.  Decontamination  liability
and property  damage  coverage  exceeding the primary $500 million also has been
purchased in amounts  greater than federal  requirements.  Additional  insurance
covers part of replacement  power expenses  during an  accident-related  nuclear
unit outage.  These policies are issued primarily by mutual insurance  companies
owned by utilities with nuclear  facilities.  If losses at any nuclear  facility
covered  by the  arrangement  were to  exceed  the  accumulated  funds for these
insurance programs,  SCE could be assessed  retrospective premium adjustments of
up to $22 million per year. Insurance premiums are charged to operating expense.

Spent Nuclear Fuel

Federal  law  requires  the  Department  of Energy  (DOE) to select and  develop
repositories  for, and oversee  disposal of, spent  nuclear fuel and  high-level
radioactive waste. The law requires the DOE to provide for the disposal of spent
nuclear fuel and high-level  radioactive waste from nuclear generation  stations
beginning January 31, 1998. However, the DOE did not meet its obligation.  It is
not certain when the DOE will begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre
or from other nuclear power plants.

SCE has paid the DOE the required one-time fee applicable to nuclear  generation
at San Onofre through April 6, 1983, (approximately $24 million, plus interest).
SCE  is  also  paying  the  required   quarterly  fee  equal  to  one  mill  per
kilowatt-hour of nuclear-generated electricity sold after April 6, 1983.

SCE has primary responsibility for the interim storage of its spent nuclear fuel
at San  Onofre.  Current  capability  to store  spent  fuel is  estimated  to be
adequate  through 2005.  Meeting  spent-fuel  storage  requirements  beyond that
period could require new and separate interim storage facilities,  the costs for
which  have  not been  determined.  Extended  delays  by the DOE  could  lead to
consideration of costly alternatives involving siting and environmental issues.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Palo Verde on-site spent fuel storage capacity will accommodate needs until 2002
for Units 1 and 2, and until 2003 for Unit 3. Arizona  Public  Service  Company,
operating agent for Palo Verde, is constructing an interim fuel storage facility
that is expected to be completed in 2002.

SCE and other  owners of nuclear  power  plants  may be able to recover  interim
storage costs arising from DOE delays in the acceptance of utility spent nuclear
fuel by pursuing  relief  under the terms of the  contracts,  as directed by the
courts, or through other court actions.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
           Financial Condition

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1999 vs. First Quarter 1998

Earnings

Edison  International's basic earnings per share were 41(cent) per share for the
first  quarter of 1999,  compared  to  39(cent)  for the first  quarter of 1998.
Southern California Edison's (SCE) earnings were 22(cent) per share, compared to
27(cent)  for the first  quarter of 1998.  The  decrease in SCE's  earnings  was
mainly due to the scheduled  refueling  outage at San Onofre Nuclear  Generating
Station  Unit 2. Edison  Mission  Energy  (EME) and Edison  Capital had combined
earnings of 24(cent) per share,  compared to 15(cent) in 1998.  The increase was
primarily due to  infrastructure  investments  and the closing of two affordable
housing syndications at Edison Capital, as well as higher earnings from existing
energy projects at EME.  Edison  Enterprises  (Edison Source,  Edison Select and
Edison  Utility  Services)  and the  Edison  International  parent  company  had
combined net  expenses of 5(cent) in 1999,  compared  with 3(cent) in 1998.  The
negative impact on earnings was primarily due to continued  investment in Edison
Enterprises' subsidiaries.

Operating Revenue

Electric utility revenue increased 3% during the first quarter of 1999, compared
with the same period in 1998, due to a 3% increase in the retail sales volume of
commercial  customers.  Over 99% of  electric  utility  revenue  was from retail
sales. Retail rates are regulated by the California Public Utilities  Commission
(CPUC) and  wholesale  rates are  regulated  by the  Federal  Energy  Regulatory
Commission (FERC).

Due to warmer weather during the summer months,  electric utility revenue during
the third quarter of each year is significantly higher than other quarters.

Legislation  enacted in September 1996 provided for,  among other things,  a 10%
rate  reduction  (financed  through the  issuance of rate  reduction  notes) for
residential  and small  commercial  customers  in 1998 and other rates to remain
frozen at June 1996 levels (system average of 10.1(cent) per kilowatt-hour). See
discussion in Regulatory Environment below.

Revenue from  diversified  operations  increased  43% in 1999,  primarily due to
increases at: Edison Capital, related to additional lease transactions closed in
1998; Edison  Enterprises,  related to the Westec  acquisition in 1998; and EME,
related to a pricing settlement on four qualifying facility contracts.

Operating Expenses

Fuel  expense  decreased  32%,  primarily  due to the  sale of  SCE's  gas-  and
oil-fueled generation plants in 1998.

Since April 1, 1998,  SCE has been required to sell all of its  generated  power
through  the power  exchange  (PX) and  acquire  all of its power from the PX to
distribute to its retail customers.  These transactions with the PX are reported
as Purchased  power - power  exchange - net. SCE is continuing to purchase power
from certain  nonutility  generators (known as qualifying  facilities) and under
existing  contracts with other  utilities.  This purchased power is sold through
the  PX.  Excluding  the  transactions  with  the  PX,  purchased-power  expense
increased for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the same period
last  year,  due  to  higher  prices  for  required  purchases  from  qualifying
facilities.  SCE is required  under  federal law to purchase  power from certain
qualifying  facilities  even though  energy  prices  under these  contracts  are
generally higher than other sources. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1999,
SCE paid about $1.5 

                                       9
<PAGE>

billion  (including energy and capacity payments) more for these power purchases
than the cost of power  available from other sources.  The CPUC has mandated the
prices for these contracts.

Provisions  for  regulatory   adjustment  clauses  increased  primarily  due  to
overcollections related to the difference between generation-related revenue and
generation-related costs. These overcollections were almost completely offset by
undercollections  related to the  rate-making  treatment  of the rate  reduction
notes and the administration of public-purpose funds. This rate-making treatment
has   allowed  for  the   deferral   of  the   recovery  of  a  portion  of  the
transition-related costs, from a four-year period to a 10-year period.

Other operating expenses  increased 49%,  primarily due to must-run  reliability
services, direct access activities, and PX and independent system operator (ISO)
costs  incurred by SCE.  Also,  other  operating  expenses  increased  at Edison
Enterprises,  related  to the Westec  acquisition  in 1998;  at EME,  related to
higher project  development/acquisition costs; and at Edison Capital, related to
additional reserves for two affordable housing syndications.

Maintenance  expense  decreased 13%,  mainly due to lower  expenses  incurred at
SCE's distribution facilities.

Income taxes decreased 37%,  primarily due to lower pre-tax  income,  as well as
additional  amortization  at SCE related to the  competition  transition  charge
(CTC) mechanism.

Net loss (gain) on sale of utility  plant  increased  due to the loss on sale of
one plant at SCE during  first  quarter  1998.  Gains were used to reduce  SCE's
stranded  costs.  Losses  will  be  recovered  from  SCE's  customers  over  the
transition period.

Other Income and Deductions

Interest and dividend income decreased 34%, reflecting lower investment balances
at SCE during the first  quarter of 1999,  as well as  slightly  lower  interest
rates. Also,  contributing to the decrease were lower international and domestic
cash balances at EME.

Other  nonoperating  deductions for first quarter 1999 included the write-off of
start-up  costs  at EME  partially  offset  by the  gains  on  sales  of  equity
investments at SCE. EME was required to write off these  previously  capitalized
start-up costs due to an accounting rule which became effective in January 1999.
Other  nonoperating  deductions  for  first  quarter  1998  included  regulatory
accruals at SCE.

Interest and Other Expenses

Interest and  amortization on long-term debt decreased 15% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998, mainly due to an adjustment
of accrued  interest at SCE in first quarter 1998 related to the rate  reduction
notes issued in December  1997,  and the maturity of $320 million of debt in the
second half of 1998.  Interest on the rate  reduction  notes was $35 million for
the quarter  ended March 31,  1999,  compared to $38 million for the same period
last year.

Other interest expense increased  substantially  mostly due to higher short-term
debt  levels  at SCE  arising  from an  additional  dividend  payment  to Edison
International  during the first  quarter of 1999,  as well as higher  short-term
debt levels at EME related to the recently completed Homer City acquisition.

Capitalized  interest increased due to EME's increased  investment in its Paiton
and EcoElectrica projects.

Financial Condition

Edison  International's  liquidity  is  primarily  affected by debt  maturities,
dividend  payments,  capital  expenditures,  and investments in partnerships and
unconsolidated subsidiaries.  Capital resources include cash from operations and
external financings.

                                       10
<PAGE>


Edison International's board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to
$2.8  billion  (increased  from $2.3  billion in July  1998) of its  outstanding
shares of common  stock.  Edison  International  repurchased  approximately  101
million shares ($2.4 billion) between January 1995 and March 31, 1999, funded by
dividends from its subsidiaries and the issuance of the rate reduction notes.

On March 18, 1999,  Edison  International  increased its quarterly  common stock
dividend from $1.04 to $1.08,  a 3.8%  increase.  For the first quarter of 1999,
Edison International's cash flow coverage of dividends was 5.1 times compared to
5.2 times for the year-earlier period.  Edison  International's  dividend payout
ratio for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 1999, was 55%.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  totaled  $470 million in the first
quarter of 1999,  compared to $493  million in the first  quarter of 1998.  Cash
from operations exceeded capital requirements for both periods presented.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

At March 31, 1999, Edison International and its subsidiaries had $2.2 billion of
borrowing  capacity  available under lines of credit totaling $2.6 billion.  SCE
had  available  lines of credit of $1.3  billion,  with $800 million for general
purpose  short-term  debt and $500 million for the long-term  refinancing of its
variable-rate  pollution-control  bonds.  The parent  company had total lines of
credit of $500 million,  with $400 million available.  The nonutility  companies
had total  lines of credit of $800  million,  with  $500  million  available  to
finance  general  cash  requirements.  These  unsecured  lines of credit  are at
negotiated or bank index rates with various expiration dates.

SCE's  short-term  debt is used to finance  fuel  inventories  and general  cash
requirements.  Long-term  debt is used mainly to finance  capital  expenditures.
SCE's external financings are influenced by market conditions and other factors,
including  limitations  imposed  by its  articles  of  incorporation  and  trust
indenture.  As of March 31, 1999, SCE could issue approximately $12.6 billion of
additional  first and  refunding  mortgage  bonds and $3.8  billion of preferred
stock at current interest and dividend rates.

EME has firm commitments of $234 million to make equity and other contributions,
primarily for the ISAB project in Italy,  the Paiton  project in Indonesia,  the
EcoElectrica project in Puerto Rico, the Tri Energy project in Thailand, and the
Doga project in Turkey.  EME also has contingent  obligations to make additional
contributions of $206 million,  primarily for equity support  guarantees related
to Paiton.

EME may incur additional  obligations to make equity and other  contributions to
projects in the future.  EME believes it will have sufficient  liquidity to meet
these equity requirements from cash provided by operating  activities,  proceeds
from the repayment of loans to energy  projects and funds  available  from EME's
revolving line of credit.

Edison Capital has firm commitments of $272 million to fund affordable  housing,
and energy and infrastructure investments.

California  law  prohibits  SCE  from  incurring  or  guaranteeing  debt for its
nonutility affiliates. Additionally, the CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure,
limiting the dividends it may pay Edison International.

At March 31,  1999,  SCE had the  capacity  to pay $700  million  in  additional
dividends  and  continue to maintain its  authorized  capital  structure.  These
restrictions are not expected to affect Edison  International's  ability to meet
its cash obligations.

In December 1997, SCE Funding LLC, a special purpose entity, of which SCE is the
sole  member,  issued  approximately  $2.5  billion of rate  reduction  notes to
Bankers Trust Company of California,  as certificate  trustee for the California
Infrastructure  and  Economic  Development  Bank  Special  Purpose  Trust  SCE-1


                                       11
<PAGE>


(Trust),  which  is a  special  purpose  entity  established  by  the  State  of
California.  The terms of the rate reduction notes generally mirror the terms of
the  pass-through  certificates  issued  by the  Trust,  which are known as rate
reduction  certificates.  The proceeds of the rate reduction  notes were used by
SCE Funding LLC to purchase  from SCE an  enforceable  right known as transition
property.  Transition  property is a current  property right created pursuant to
the  restructuring  legislation  and a financing  order of the CPUC and consists
generally  of the  right to be paid a  specified  amount  from a  non-bypassable
tariff levied on residential  and small  commercial  customers.  In spite of the
legal sale of the  transition  property by SCE to SCE Funding  LLC,  the amounts
reflected as assets on SCE's  balance  sheet have not been reduced by the amount
of the transition  property sold to SCE Funding LLC, and the  liabilities of SCE
Funding LLC for the rate reduction notes are for accounting  purposes  reflected
as long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of SCE. SCE used the
proceeds  from the sale of the  transition  property  to retire  debt and equity
securities.

The outstanding  rate reduction  notes have maturities  ranging from one to nine
years,  and bear  interest  at rates  ranging  from  6.14%  to  6.42%.  The rate
reduction notes are secured solely by the transition  property and certain other
assets  of  SCE  Funding  LLC,  and  there  is no  recourse  to  SCE  or  Edison
International.

Although SCE Funding LLC is consolidated  with SCE in the financial  statements,
as required by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  SCE Funding LLC is
legally  separate  from SCE, the assets of SCE Funding LLC are not  available to
creditors of SCE or Edison International, and the transition property is legally
not an asset of SCE or Edison International.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from  investing  activities are affected by additions to property and
plant, the nonutility companies'  investments in partnerships and unconsolidated
subsidiaries,  proceeds  from the sale of assets (see  discussion  in Regulatory
Environment   below),   and   funding   of   nuclear   decommissioning   trusts.
Decommissioning  costs are accrued and  recovered in rates over the term of each
nuclear generating  facility's operating license through charges to depreciation
expense.  SCE estimates that it will spend  approximately  $8.6 billion  through
2060 to  decommission  its nuclear  facilities.  This estimate is based on SCE's
current-dollar  decommissioning costs ($1.9 billion), escalated at rates ranging
from 0.3% to 10.0%  (depending  on the cost element)  annually.  These costs are
expected to be funded from independent  decommissioning  trusts, which currently
receive SCE contributions of approximately $100 million per year.  However,  SCE
has requested the CPUC to authorize a reduction in the annual  contributions  to
the decommissioning  trusts beginning in 2000. The plan to begin decommissioning
San Onofre Unit 1 in 2000,  which is pending CPUC  approval,  is not expected to
affect SCE's annual contributions to the decommissioning trusts.

Cash used for the nonutility subsidiaries' investing activities was $1.8 billion
for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1999,  compared to $375 million for
the same period in 1998.  The increase is primarily due to EME's purchase of the
Homer City Generating Station (further discussed under EME Acquisitions below).

Market Risk Exposures

Edison International's  primary market risk exposures arise from fluctuations in
energy prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Edison International's
risk  management  policy allows the use of derivative  financial  instruments to
manage its financial  exposures,  but prohibits the use of these instruments for
speculative or trading purposes.

As a result of the rate freeze  established  in the  restructuring  legislation,
SCE's transition costs are recovered as the residual component of rates once the
costs  for  distribution,   transmission,   public  purpose  programs,   nuclear
decommissioning  and the cost of supplying power to its customers through the PX
and ISO have already been recovered. Accordingly, more revenue will be available
to cover transition costs when market prices in the PX and ISO are low than when
PX and ISO prices are high.  The PX and ISO market prices to date have generally
been reasonable, although some irregular price spikes have occurred. 

                                       12

The ISO has  responded  to price spikes in the market for  reliability  services
(referred  to as  ancillary  services) by imposing a price cap of $250/MW on the
market for such services  until certain  actions have been  completed to improve
the functioning of those markets.  Similarly,  the ISO currently maintains a cap
of  $250/MWh  on its market for  imbalance  energy  until  adequate  measures to
improve the efficient operation of the market have been implemented. The caps in
these  markets  mitigate  the risk of costly  price spikes that would reduce the
revenue available to SCE to pay transition costs.  During the upcoming year, the
ISO will be considering  raising these price caps, which could increase the risk
of high market  prices.  SCE has entered  into hedges  against  high natural gas
prices,  since  increases  in  natural  gas  prices  tend to raise  the price of
electricity purchased from the PX. SCE has also applied to the CPUC for approval
to participate in forward purchases,  through a PX forward market.  Furthermore,
SCE  has   requested   permission   from  the  CPUC  to  begin  a  pilot  demand
responsiveness  program that would allow  customers to be paid to curtail  their
load during  times of very high prices.  SCE is seeking  approval for these high
price mitigation measures prior to mid-1999.

Changes in interest rates,  electricity pool pricing and fluctuations in foreign
currency  exchange  rates  can have a  significant  impact on EME's  results  of
operations.  EME  has  mitigated  the  risk of  interest  rate  fluctuations  by
arranging for fixed rate or variable rate  financing with interest rate swaps or
other hedging  mechanisms for the majority of its project  financings.  Interest
expense  includes $6 million for both the three  month  periods  ended March 31,
1999,  and  March  31,  1998,  as a result  of  interest  rate  swap and  collar
agreements. The maturity dates of several of EME's interest rate swap and collar
agreements do not  correspond to the term of the  underlying  debt. EME does not
believe that interest rate  fluctuations  will have a material adverse effect on
its results of operations or financial position.

Projects in the United Kingdom sell their electric energy and capacity through a
centralized electricity pool, which establishes a half-hourly clearing price, or
pool price, for electric energy. The pool price is extremely  volatile,  and can
vary by a factor  of ten or more  over the  course  of a few  hours due to large
differentials  in demand  according to the time of day. First Hydro  mitigates a
portion  of  the  market  risk  of the  pool  by  entering  into  contracts  for
differences (electricity rate swap agreements), related to either the selling or
purchasing  price of  power,  where a  contract  specifies  a price at which the
electricity  will be traded,  and the parties to the  agreements  make payments,
calculated  on the  difference  between the price in the  contract  and the pool
price for the  element of power  under  contract.  These  contracts  are sold in
various  structures.  These  contracts act as a means of stabilizing  production
revenue or purchasing costs by removing an element of First Hydro's net exposure
to pool price  volatility.  A proposal to replace the current  structure  of the
forward-contracts  market and the pool has been made by the Director  General of
Electricity  Supply,  at the  request of the  Minister  of  Science,  Energy and
Industry in the United Kingdom.  The Minister has recommended  that the proposal
be  implemented  by April  2000.  Further  definition  of the  proposal  will be
required before the effects of the changes can be evaluated.  Implementation  of
the proposal may also require legislation.

Loy Yang B sells its electric  energy  through a centralized  electricity  pool,
which  provides  for a system  of  generator  bidding,  central  dispatch  and a
settlements  system based on a clearing  market for each half-hour of every day.
The Victorian Power Exchange, operator and administrator of the pool, determines
a system  marginal  price each  half-hour.  To  mitigate  the  exposure to price
volatility of the electricity  traded in the pool, Loy Yang B has entered into a
number  of  financial   hedges.   From  May  8,  1997,  to  December  31,  2000,
approximately  53% to 64% of the  plant  output  sold is  hedged  under  vesting
contracts, with the remainder of the plant capacity hedged under the state hedge
described below.  Vesting  contracts were put into place by the State Government
of Victoria,  Australia  (State),  between each generator and each  distributor,
prior to the  privatization  of electric power  distributors in order to provide
more  predictable  pricing for those  electricity  customers that were unable to
choose their electricity  retailer.  Vesting contracts set base strike prices at
which the  electricity  will be traded,  and the parties to the  agreement  make
payments,  calculated based on the difference  between the price in the contract
and the half-hourly pool clearing price for the element of power under contract.
These  contracts are sold in various  structures.  These contracts are accounted
for as  electricity  rate  swap  agreements.  The  state  hedge  is a  long-term
contractual  arrangement  based upon a fixed price  commencing  May 8, 1997, and
terminating  October  31,  2016.  The State  guarantees  the  State  Electricity
Commission of Victoria's obligations under the state hedge.

EME's electric revenue increased by $23 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999, compared to an increase of $51 million for the same period in 1998, as
a result of electricity rate swap agreements.

As EME  continues  to expand  into  foreign  markets,  fluctuations  in  foreign
currency  exchange rates can affect the amount of its equity  contributions  to,
distributions from and results of operations of its foreign projects.  At times,
EME has hedged a portion of its  current  exposure  to  fluctuations  in foreign
exchange  rates  where  it  deems  appropriate  through  financial  derivatives,
offsetting   obligations   denominated  in  foreign  currencies,   and  indexing
underlying  project  agreements  to U.S.  dollars  or other  indices  reasonably
expected to correlate with foreign exchange movements.  Statistical  forecasting
techniques are used to help assess foreign  exchange risk and the  probabilities
of various outcomes.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that fluctuations in
exchange rates will be fully offset by hedges or that currency movements and the
relationship  between  macroeconomic  variables  will behave in a manner that is
consistent with historical or forecasted relationships.

Construction on the two-unit Paiton project is nearing completion. The tariff is
higher in the early  years and steps  down over  time,  and the  tariff  for the
Paiton project  includes  infrastructure  to be used in common by other units at
the Paiton complex.  The plant's output is fully contracted with the state-owned
electricity  company for payment in Indonesian Rupiah,  with the portion of such
payments  intended  to cover  non-Rupiah  project  costs  (including  returns to
investors)   indexed  to  the  Indonesian   Rupiah/U.S.   dollar  exchange  rate
established  at the time of the power  purchase  agreement in February 1994. The
state-owned  electricity  company's  payment  obligations  are  supported by the
Indonesian  Government.  The projected rate of growth of the Indonesian  economy
and the exchange rate of Indonesian  Rupiah into U.S. dollars have  deteriorated
significantly  since the Paiton project was  contracted,  approved and financed.
The  project  received  substantial  finance  and  insurance  support  from  the
Export-Import  Bank of the United States,  The Export-Import  Bank of Japan, the
U.S. Overseas Private  Investment  Corporation and the Ministry of International
Trade and Industry of Japan.  The Paiton project's senior debt ratings have been
reduced from investment grade to speculative grade based on the rating agencies'
perceived  increased risk that the state-owned  electricity company might not be
able to honor  the  electricity  sales  contract  with  Paiton.  The  Indonesian
government has arranged to reschedule sovereign debt owed to foreign governments
and has entered  into  discussions  about  rescheduling  sovereign  debt owed to
private  lenders.   The  state-owned   electricity  company  has  announced  its
intentions  to  commence   discussions  with  independent   power  producers  to
renegotiate the power supply contracts,  however,  it is not yet known what form
the  renegotiation  may take.  The initial  meeting on these  renegotiations  is
scheduled  during the second quarter of 1999. Any material  modifications of the
contract  could  also  require a  renegotiation  of the  Paiton  project's  debt
agreement.   The  impact  of  any  such   renegotiations  with  the  state-owned
electricity  company,  the Indonesian  government or the project's  creditors on
EME's  expected  return on its  investment  in Paiton is uncertain at this time,
however,  EME believes  that it will  ultimately  recover its  investment in the
project. EME continues to monitor the situation closely.

Projected Capital Requirements

Edison  International's  projected  construction  expenditures for the next five
years are: 1999-- $930 million; 2000-- $808 million; 2001-- $709 million; 2002--
$671 million; and 2003-- $623 million.

Long-term  debt   maturities  and  sinking  fund   requirements   for  the  five
twelve-month  periods following March 31, 1999, are: 2000 -- $1.2 billion;  2001
- -- $701 million;  2002 -- $535 million;  2003 -- $674 million;  and 2004 -- $477
million.

Preferred  stock  redemption  requirements  for the  five  twelve-month  periods
following  March 31, 1999,  are: 2000 through 2002-- zero;  2003-- $109 million;
and 2004-- $9 million.

EME Acquisitions

In March  1999,  EME  completed  the  acquisition  of the  1,884-MW  Homer  City
Generating Station for approximately $1.8 billion.  Homer City was jointly owned
by subsidiaries of GPU, Inc. and New York State 

                                       14
<PAGE>

Electric & Gas  Corporation.  The coal-fired  facility has the rights to direct,
high-voltage   interconnections  to  both  the  New  York  Power  Pool  and  the
Pennsylvania-New   Jersey-Maryland   Power  Pool.  The  plant  is  located  near
Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania.  EME  will  operate  the  plant,  which is one of the
lowest-cost  generation  facilities in the region.  EME financed the acquisition
with a combination of debt secured by the project,  EME corporate debt, cash and
EME corporate  revolving debt. The acquisition is expected to have little effect
on 1999 earnings and a positive effect on earnings in 2000 and beyond.

In March 1999, EME entered into agreements to acquire the fossil-fuel generating
assets of Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) for approximately $5 billion.  The
coal-, gas-, and oil-fired generating  facilities have a total capacity of 9,772
MW. In  conjunction  with the  acquisition,  EME,  who will own and  operate the
facilities,  will invest  additional  capital in the plants to upgrade pollution
controls, extend plant life, improve reliability and reduce generation cost. The
transaction  is expected  to close by  year-end  1999 and is expected to have an
immaterial  effect on earnings in 1999, 2000 and 2001, as a result of transition
contracts  in which  ComEd  will  retain  power  purchase  agreements  with EME,
enabling ComEd access to certain amounts of plant output for the next five years
to serve its customers.

Also in March 1999,  EME entered  into an agreement to acquire a 40% interest in
New Zealand government-owned Contact Energy Ltd. for approximately $625 million.
The  acquisition  is  conditional  on the New Zealand  government  completing an
initial public  offering of the remaining 60% interest in Contact  Energy.  This
public  offering  is planned  for May 1999.  Contact  Energy  owns and  operates
hydroelectric, geothermal and natural gas-fired generating plants in New Zealand
with a total  generating  capacity of 2,371 MW. Contact Energy also supplies gas
and  electricity  to customers in New Zealand and has minority  interests in two
power  projects in  Australia.  The  transaction  is expected to close after the
completion of the public  offering and is expected to have an immaterial  effect
on earnings through 2001.

In April 1999, EME entered into an agreement to acquire two electric  generating
plants from PowerGen,  a United Kingdom (U.K.)  utility,  for  approximately  $2
billion.  Each of the plants has a  generating  capacity  of about 2,000 MW. EME
will also invest $325 million to upgrade the plants' pollution  controls,  which
will make the plants  among the lowest  emitters of sulfur  dioxide and nitrogen
oxides of the U.K.  coal-fired  power  plants.  The  acquisition  is expected to
receive  regulatory  approval  from the U.K.  and close  within  the next  three
months.  When the  acquisition  is completed,  it is expected to have a positive
effect on 1999 earnings.

EME plans to finance  each of the above  acquisitions  with debt  secured by the
project, EME corporate debt, cash and funding from Edison International.

Regulatory Environment

SCE  currently  operates in a highly  regulated  environment  in which it has an
obligation to deliver  electric  service to customers in return for an exclusive
franchise within its service territory.  This regulatory environment is changing
as a result of a 1995  CPUC  decision  on  restructuring  and state  legislation
enacted in 1996.  The Statute  substantially  adopted  the CPUC's  restructuring
decision by  addressing  stranded-cost  recovery for  utilities  and providing a
certain  cost-recovery  time period for the  transition  costs  associated  with
utility-owned generation-related assets. The Statute also included provisions to
finance a portion of the stranded costs that  residential  and small  commercial
customers  would have paid  between 1998 and 2001,  which  allowed SCE to reduce
rates by at least 10% to these customers, effective January 1, 1998. The Statute
mandated  other rates to remain  frozen at June 1996 levels  (system  average of
10.1(cent)  per  kilowatt-hour),   including  those  for  large  commercial  and
industrial  customers,  and included provisions for continued funding for energy
conservation,  low-income  programs and  renewable  resources.  Despite the rate
freeze,  SCE expects to be able to recover its  revenue  requirement  during the
1998--2001   transition   period.   In  addition,   the  Statute   mandated  the
implementation  of  the  CTC  (see  detailed  discussion  below)  that  provides
utilities the opportunity to recover costs made  uneconomic by electric  utility
restructuring. The new market structure began on April 1, 1998.



                                       15

Revenue and Cost-Recovery Mechanisms

In 1999,  revenue is being  determined  by various  mechanisms  depending on the
utility  operation.   Revenue  related  to  distribution   operations  is  being
determined  through  a  performance-based  rate-making  mechanism  (PBR) and the
distribution assets have the opportunity to earn a CPUC-authorized 9.49% return.
The  distribution-only  PBR will  extend  through  December  2001.  Transmission
revenue  is being  determined  through  FERC-authorized  rates and  transmission
assets earn a 9.43% return.  These rates are subject to refund.  Key elements of
PBR include:  transmission  and  distribution  (T&D) rates indexed for inflation
based on the Consumer Price Index less a productivity  factor;  adjustments  for
cost  changes  that are not within  SCE's  control;  a  cost-of-capital  trigger
mechanism  based on changes in a bond index;  standards for service  reliability
and safety;  and a net  revenue-sharing  mechanism that determines how customers
and shareholders will share gains and losses from T&D operations.

SCE's  transition costs are being recovered  through a non-bypassable  CTC. This
charge  applies to all customers who were using or began using utility  services
on or after the  CPUC's  December  1995  restructuring  decision  date.  SCE has
estimated  its  transition  costs to be  approximately  $10.6  billion (1998 net
present  value) from 1998  through  2030.  This  estimate  was based on incurred
costs, forecasts of future costs and assumed market prices. However,  changes in
the assumed market prices could materially  affect these  estimates.  Transition
costs related to power-purchase  contracts are being recovered through the terms
of  their  contracts  while  most  of the  remaining  transition  costs  will be
recovered  through 2001.  The potential  transition  costs are comprised of $6.4
billion from SCE's qualifying facilities contracts,  which are the direct result
of prior legislative and regulatory  mandates,  and $4.2 billion (which reflects
the 1998  sale of SCE's  gas-  and  oil-fueled  generation  plants)  from  costs
pertaining to certain generating assets and regulatory commitments consisting of
costs incurred (whose recovery has been deferred by the CPUC) to provide service
to  customers.  Such  commitments  include the  recovery of income tax  benefits
previously flowed through to customers, postretirement benefit transition costs,
accelerated  recovery  of San Onofre  Units 2 and 3 and the Palo  Verde  Nuclear
Generating Station units, and certain other costs.  During 1998, SCE sold all of
its gas- and oil-fueled  generation  plants for $1.2 billion,  over $500 million
more than the combined book value. Net proceeds of the sales were used to reduce
stranded costs,  which  otherwise were expected to be collected  through the CTC
mechanism.  If events occur during the restructuring  process that result in all
or a portion of the  transition  costs being  improbable of recovery,  SCE could
have write-offs  associated  with these costs if they are not recovered  through
another regulatory mechanism.

Revenue  from  generation-related  operations  is being  determined  through the
competitive  market  and the CTC  mechanism,  which  now  includes  the  nuclear
rate-making agreements.  Revenue related to fossil and hydroelectric  generation
operations is recovered from two sources. The portion that is made uneconomic by
electric  industry  restructuring  is recovered  through the CTC mechanism.  The
portion that is economic is recovered through the market. SCE's costs associated
with its hydroelectric  plants are being recovered  through a  performance-based
mechanism.   The  mechanism  sets  the  hydroelectric  revenue  requirement  and
establishes  a formula for  extending  it through the  duration of the  electric
industry  restructuring  transition  period,  or until  market  valuation of the
hydroelectric  facilities,  whichever occurs first. The mechanism  provides that
power sales revenue from hydroelectric facilities in excess of the hydroelectric
revenue requirement be credited against the costs to transition to a competitive
market. In 1999,  fossil and  hydroelectric  generation assets will earn a 7.22%
return.

The CPUC  authorized  revised  rate-making  plans for SCE's nuclear  facilities,
which call for the accelerated  recovery of the nuclear  investments in exchange
for a lower  authorized  rate of return.  SCE's  nuclear  assets are  earning an
annual rate of return of 7.35%.  In addition,  the San Onofre plan  authorizes a
fixed rate of approximately  4(cent) per  kilowatt-hour  generated for operating
costs  including  incremental  capital costs,  and nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel
financing  costs.  The San Onofre  plan  commenced  in April  1996,  and ends in
December 2001 for the accelerated  recovery portion and in December 2003 for the
incentive-pricing  portion. Palo Verde's operating costs,  including incremental
capital costs, and nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel financing costs, are subject to
balancing account  treatment.  The Palo Verde plan commenced in January 1997 and
ends in December 2001.  Beginning  January 1, 1998, both the San Onofre and Palo
Verde rate-making plans became part of the CTC mechanism.

                                       16
<PAGE>


The changes in revenue from the regulatory mechanisms discussed above, excluding
the effects of other rate  actions,  are expected to have an  approximately  $20
million negative impact on 1999 earnings.

The CPUC is considering unbundling SCE's cost of capital by authorizing separate
rates of return for generation,  transmission,  and distribution operations.  In
May 1998,  SCE filed an application on this issue and hearings were completed in
October 1998. On April 22, 1999, a proposed  decision,  which would reduce SCE's
return  on  common  equity  to 10.6%  from the  current  rate of  11.6%,  and an
alternate decision which would keep the rate at 11.6%, were issued. If the 10.6%
rate is adopted,  it would have a negative impact of  approximately  7(cent) per
share on 1999 earnings. A final CPUC decision is expected in May.

Restructuring Implementation Costs

The ISO assumed operational control of the transmission system after the ISO and
PX had begun accepting bids and schedules for electricity purchases on March 31,
1998.  The  restructuring  implementation  costs  related  to the  start-up  and
development of the PX, which are paid by the  utilities,  will be recovered from
all retail customers over the four-year  transition  period.  SCE's share of the
charge is $45 million, plus interest and fees. SCE's share of the ISO's start-up
and development costs  (approximately  $16 million per year) will be paid over a
10-year period.  In May 1998, SCE filed an application with the CPUC to identify
the categories of such costs (including costs related to the  implementation  of
direct  access) and to establish the  reasonableness  of those costs incurred in
1997. The CPUC split the application into two phases.

Two  proposed  decisions  on Phase 1, which  addressed  the  eligibility  of the
implementation  costs,  were issued on March 11,  1999.  Both of these  proposed
decisions  reject SCE's request for a  determination  of eligibility for several
major categories of such costs. These proposed decisions further state that even
for the cost  categories they approve for  eligibility,  costs incurred in those
categories  after  December 31,  1998,  would not be  eligible.  Instead,  these
proposed  decisions  would have SCE recover many of the costs  identified in its
application  from market  revenue,  although the decisions  fail to identify the
market and no specific  mechanism  or  authority  to recover such costs from any
market has yet been  established.  SCE  disagrees  with much of the  conclusions
reached in these  proposed  decisions and has filed comments to that effect with
the CPUC. A final CPUC decision is expected  later this year.  Under both of the
proposed  decisions,  the  reasonableness  of 1997  and  1998  expenditures  for
eligible  restructuring costs would be addressed in a separate application later
this year.

Accounting for Generation-Related Assets

If the CPUC's electric industry restructuring plan continues as described above,
SCE would be allowed to recover  its  transition  costs  through  non-bypassable
charges  to its  distribution  customers  (although  its  investment  in certain
generation  assets would be subject to a lower  authorized  rate of return).  In
1997, SCE discontinued  application of accounting  principles for rate-regulated
enterprises for its investment in generation  facilities based on new accounting
guidance. The financial reporting effect of this discontinuance was to segregate
these assets on the balance sheet; the new guidance did not require SCE to write
off any of its generation-related  assets,  including related regulatory assets.
However,  the new guidance did not specifically address the application of asset
impairment  standards  to these  assets.  SCE has  retained  these assets on its
balance sheet because the Statute and restructuring  plan referred to above make
probable their recovery through a non-bypassable CTC to distribution  customers.
The regulatory assets relate primarily to the recovery of accelerated income tax
benefits  previously  flowed  through to  customers,  purchased  power  contract
termination  payments  and  unamortized  losses  on  reacquired  debt.  The  new
accounting  guidance  also  permits  the  recording  of  new  generation-related
regulatory  assets  during the  transition  period that are probable of recovery
through the CTC mechanism.

During the second quarter of 1998,  additional guidance was developed related to
the  application  of asset  impairment  standards  to these  assets.  Using this
guidance resulted in SCE reducing its remaining nuclear plant investment by $2.6
billion (as of June 30, 1998) and  recording a  regulatory  asset on its balance
sheet for the same amount. For this impairment assessment, the fair value of the
investment  was  calculated  by   discounting   future  net  cash  flows.   This
reclassification had no effect on SCE's results of operations.


                                       17
<PAGE>

If during the  transition  period events were to occur that made the recovery of
these  generation-related  regulatory  assets no longer  probable,  SCE would be
required to write off the remaining balance of such assets  (approximately  $2.7
billion,  after tax, at March 31, 1999) as a one-time,  non-cash  charge against
earnings.  At this time, SCE cannot predict what other revisions will ultimately
be made  during the  restructuring  process  in  subsequent  proceedings  or the
effect,  after the transition period,  that competition will have on its results
of operations or financial position.

Environmental Protection

Edison International is subject to numerous  environmental laws and regulations,
which  require it to incur  substantial  costs to operate  existing  facilities,
construct and operate new facilities,  and mitigate or remove the effect of past
operations on the environment.

As further discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,  Edison
International records its environmental liabilities when site assessments and/or
remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can
be estimated.  Edison International reviews its sites and measures the liability
quarterly,  by assessing a range of reasonably  likely costs for each identified
site. Unless there is a probable amount,  Edison International records the lower
end of this likely range of costs.

Edison International's  recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 49
identified  sites is $169 million.  One of SCE's sites,  a former  pole-treating
facility,  is  considered a federal  Superfund  site and  represents  41% of its
recorded  liability.  The  ultimate  costs to clean  up  Edison  International's
identified  sites  may  vary  from  its  recorded   liability  due  to  numerous
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process.  Edison International believes
that, due to these  uncertainties,  it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs
could exceed its recorded  liability by up to $285  million.  The upper limit of
this range of costs was estimated  using  assumptions  least favorable to Edison
International among a range of reasonably possible outcomes. SCE has sold all of
its gas- and oil-fueled power plants and has retained some liability  associated
with the divested properties.

The CPUC allows SCE to recover  environmental-cleanup  costs at 41 of its sites,
representing  $87  million  of its  recorded  liability,  through  an  incentive
mechanism.  Under this mechanism,  SCE will recover 90% of cleanup costs through
customer  rates;  shareholders  fund the remaining 10%, with the  opportunity to
recover these costs from  insurance  carriers and other third  parties.  SCE has
successfully  settled  insurance  claims with all  responsible  carriers.  Costs
incurred at SCE's remaining sites are expected to be recovered  through customer
rates.  SCE has  recorded a regulatory  asset of $137 million for its  estimated
minimum  environmental-cleanup  costs expected to be recovered  through customer
rates.

Edison International's identified sites include several sites for which there is
a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of
contamination,  and the extent,  if any, that Edison  International  may be held
responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating  these sites.
Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.

Edison  International  expects to clean up its identified sites over a period of
up to 30 years. Remediation costs in each of the next several years are expected
to range from $4 million to $10 million.

Based on currently available  information,  Edison International  believes it is
unlikely  that it will  incur  amounts  in  excess  of the  upper  limit  of the
estimated   range  and,   based  upon  the  CPUC's   regulatory   treatment   of
environmental-cleanup costs, Edison International believes that costs ultimately
recorded  will not  materially  affect its results of  operations  or  financial
position.  There  can  be  no  assurance,  however,  that  future  developments,
including  additional  information about existing sites or the identification of
new sites, will not require material revisions to such estimates.

The 1990  federal  Clean Air Act  requires  power  producers  to have  emissions
allowances to emit sulfur dioxide.  Power companies receive emissions allowances
from the federal government and may bank or sell excess allowances.  SCE expects
to have excess  allowances under Phase II of the Clean Air Act (2000 and later).
The act also calls for a study to determine if additional regulations are needed
to reduce

                                       18
<PAGE>

regional haze in the southwestern U.S. In addition, another study is in progress
to determine the specific  impact of air  contaminant  emissions from the Mohave
Coal  Generating  Station on  visibility  in Grand  Canyon  National  Park.  The
potential  effect of these studies on sulfur dioxide  emissions  regulations for
Mohave is unknown.

Edison  International's  projected  environmental  capital expenditures are $900
million for the 1999-2003  period,  mainly for aesthetics  treatment,  including
undergrounding certain transmission and distribution lines.

The  possibility  that exposure to electric and magnetic  fields (EMF) emanating
from power lines,  household appliances and other electric sources may result in
adverse health effects has been the subject of scientific  research.  After many
years of research, scientists have not found that exposure to EMF causes disease
in humans. Research on this topic is continuing.  However, the CPUC has issued a
decision which  provides for a  rate-recoverable  research and public  education
program  conducted  by  California  electric  utilities,  and  authorizes  these
utilities  to take  no-cost  or  low-cost  steps to reduce  EMF in new  electric
facilities. SCE is unable to predict when or if the scientific community will be
able to reach a consensus on any health  effects of EMF, or the effect that such
a consensus, if reached, could have on future electric operations.

San Onofre Steam Generator Tubes

The San Onofre Units 2 and 3 steam  generators  have performed  relatively  well
through  the  first 15 years of  operation,  with  low  rates of  ongoing  steam
generator tube degradation.  However,  during the Unit 2 scheduled refueling and
inspection outage in 1997, an increased rate of tube degradation was identified,
which resulted in the removal of more tubes from service than had been expected.
The steam  generator  design  allows  for the  removal of up to 10% of the tubes
before  the  rated  capacity  of the unit  must be  reduced.  As a result of the
increased degradation, a mid-cycle inspection outage was conducted in early 1998
for Unit 2. Continued degradation was found during this inspection.  A favorable
or  decreasing  trend in  degradation  was  observed  during  inspection  in the
scheduled  refueling  outage in January  1999.  The results of the January  1999
inspection  are being  analyzed to  determine if there is a need for a mid-cycle
inspection  outage in early 2000. With the results from the January 1999 outage,
7.5% of the tubes have now been removed from  service.  In September  1998,  San
Onofre Unit 2 experienced a small amount of leakage from a steam  generator tube
plug which required an 11-day outage to repair.

During Unit 3's refueling outage, which was completed in July 1997,  inspections
of structural  supports for steam generator tubes identified several areas where
the  thickness of the supports had been reduced,  apparently  by erosion  during
normal plant  operation.  A follow-up  mid-cycle  inspection  indicated that the
erosion had been stabilized.  Additional  monitoring  inspections were conducted
during the scheduled  refueling  outage in April 1999.  These  inspections  also
indicated  the  erosion  has  stabilized.  A  complete  inspection  of the steam
generator tubes was conducted.  Results  obtained were within  expectations.  To
date, 5.4% of Unit 3's tubes have been removed from service.

During Unit 2's February 1998 mid-cycle outage,  similar tube supports showed no
significant levels of such erosion.

New Accounting Rules

A recently  issued  accounting  rule  requires  that costs  related to  start-up
activities be expensed as incurred, effective January 1, 1999. Although this new
accounting  rule did not  materially  affect Edison  International's  results of
operations or financial  position,  EME wrote off  approximately  $14 million in
previously capitalized start-up costs in first quarter 1999.

In June 1998, a new accounting  standard for derivative  instruments and hedging
activities  was issued.  The new  standard,  which will be effective  January 1,
2000,  requires all  derivatives  to be  recognized on the balance sheet at fair
value.  Gains or losses  from  changes  in fair  value  would be  recognized  in
earnings  in the  period of change  unless the  derivative  is  designated  as a
hedging instrument.  Gains or losses from hedges of a forecasted  transaction or
foreign  currency  exposure  would be reflected in other  comprehensive  income.
Gains or  losses  from  hedges  of a  recognized  asset or  liability  or a firm
commitment  would be 

                                       19
<PAGE>

reflected in earnings for the ineffective  portion of the hedge. SCE anticipates
that most of its  derivatives  under the new  standard  would  qualify for hedge
accounting.  SCE expects to recover in rates any market  price  changes from its
derivatives  that could  potentially  affect earnings.  Edison  International is
studying the impact of the new standard on its nonutility  subsidiaries,  and is
unable to predict at this time the impact on its financial statements.

Year 2000 Issue

Many of the existing  computer systems at Edison  International  were originally
programmed  to represent any date by using six digits  (e.g.,  12/31/99)  rather
than  eight  digits  (e.g.,  12/31/1999).  Accordingly,  such  programs,  if not
appropriately addressed,  could fail or create erroneous results when attempting
to process information  containing dates after December 31, 1999. This situation
has been referred to generally as the Year 2000 Issue.

Edison  International has a comprehensive  program in place to address potential
Year 2000 impacts.  Edison  International  provides overall coordination of this
effort, working with its affiliates and their departments.  Edison International
divides Year 2000 activities  into five phases:  inventory,  impact  assessment,
remediation,  testing and implementation.  Edison International's  objective for
the Year 2000 readiness of critical systems is to be 100% complete by July 1999.
A critical  system is  defined  as those  applications  and  systems,  including
embedded processor technology, which if not appropriately remediated, may have a
significant  impact on  customers,  the health  and safety of the public  and/or
personnel,  the revenue stream, or regulatory  compliance.  Edison International
met its first goal to be 75% complete by year-end  1998 and is on track to meets
its July 1999 goal. A system, application or physical asset is deemed to be Year
2000-ready  if it is  determined  by Edison  International  to be  suitable  for
continued use through 2028 (or through the last year of the anticipated  life of
the  asset,  whichever  occurs  first),  even  though  it may not be fully  Year
2000-compliant.  A system,  application,  or physical asset is deemed to be Year
2000-compliant if it accurately processes date/time data.

Edison  International  has structured the scope of the program to focus on three
principal  categories:  mainframe computing,  distributed computing and physical
assets  (also known as  embedded  processors).  The  mainframe  and  distributed
computing assets consist of computer  application systems  (software).  Physical
assets include information technology infrastructure (hardware, operating system
software)  and  embedded  processor  technology  in  generation,   transmission,
distribution, and facilities components.

Year  2000-readiness  preparations  for SCE's mainframe  financial  systems were
completed in the fourth  quarter of 1997,  and  preparations  for SCE's material
management  system were completed in the second quarter of 1998.  SCE's customer
information  and  billing  system is being  replaced by a new  Customer  Service
System  designed  and  constructed  to be  Year  2000-ready.  SCE's  distributed
computing  assets include  operations and business  information  systems.  SCE's
critical  operations  information  systems  include  outage  management,   power
management,  and plant monitoring and access retrieval  systems.  SCE's critical
business  information systems include a data acquisition system for billing, the
computer call center support system, credit support and maintenance management.

EME has essentially completed all phases of the project and is going through the
final review and approval  process.  Edison  Capital has completed the inventory
and impact assessment phases; remediation, testing and implementation activities
are in progress for each of the three  categories with  completion  scheduled by
July 1,  1999.  All  project  phases are  underway  at Edison  Enterprises  with
completion scheduled by July 1, 1999.

Ongoing   efforts  in  1999  will   continue  to  focus  on   guarding   against
reintroduction  of components  that are not Year 2000-ready into Year 2000-ready
systems.  Also, business acquisitions routinely involve an analysis of Year 2000
readiness and are incorporated into the overall program as necessary.

The other essential  component of the Edison  International Year 2000 program is
to identify  and assess  vendor  products  and  business  partners for Year 2000
readiness,  as these  external  parties may have the  potential to impact Edison
International's  Year 2000  readiness.  Edison  International  has  implemented,

                                       20
<PAGE>


through its affiliates and their departments,  a process to identify and contact
vendors and business partners to determine their Year 2000 status. Evaluation of
responses and other follow-up activities are continuing.  Edison International's
general policy requires that all newly  purchased  products and services be Year
2000-ready  or  otherwise  designed to allow Edison  International  to determine
whether such products and services present Year 2000 issues. SCE is also working
to address  Year 2000 issues  related to all ISO and PX  interfaces,  as well as
joint  ownership  facilities.  SCE and  other  Edison  International  affiliates
exchange Year 2000-readiness  information  (including,  but not limited to, test
results and related data) with one another and certain  external parties as part
of their Year 2000-readiness efforts.

Edison  International's   current  estimate  of  the  costs  to  complete  these
modifications,  including  the cost of new  hardware  and  software  application
modification,  is $74  million,  about 40% of which is  expected  to be  capital
costs. Edison  International's  Year 2000 costs expended through March 31, 1999,
were $46 million. SCE expects current rate levels for providing electric service
to be sufficient to provide funding for utility-related modifications.

Although Edison  International  expects that its critical  facilities,  systems,
information  technology  infrastructure  and physical  assets will be fully Year
2000-ready  prior  to  year-end  1999,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the
facilities,  systems,  infrastructure  and physical assets of other companies on
which the systems and operations of Edison  International rely will be converted
on a timely basis. Edison International believes that prudent business practices
call for development of contingency  plans.  These plans include  provisions for
monitoring,   validating  and  managing  the  continued  performance  of  Edison
International Year 2000-sensitive  systems and assets during critical transition
periods,  development of work-arounds and expedited  fix-on-failure  strategies.
Where  appropriate,  contingency  plans  include  scheduling  of key  personnel,
identification of alternate suppliers, and securing adequate on-site supplies of
critical materials.

Edison International has implemented a Year 2000 Contingency Planning Process as
a part of its Year  2000  Remediation  Program.  As part of this  process,  SCE,
Edison Mission Energy,  Edison  Enterprises,  and Edison Capital are required to
assess the Year 2000 risks,  including  both  internal  and  external  risks and
dependencies,  associated with critical systems and assets,  that are date aware
or  date  sensitive.  This  includes  assessment  of  Year  2000  risks  for all
indispensable or critical business processes and key facilities.

Where  appropriate,  the SCE plans utilize or supplement the existing  Corporate
Emergency  Response and  Recovery  Plan,  and  Information  Technology  disaster
recovery  plan,  for  identified  Year  2000-related  events.  The SCE Year 2000
contingency  plans are being  developed to coordinate and interface with the ISO
and PX and to  satisfy  Western  System  Coordinating  Council  (WSCC) and North
America Electric  Reliability Council (NERC)  recommendations and Nuclear Energy
Institute guidelines.  SCE is working with these industry groups, as well as the
Electric  Power Research  Institute,  in the  development of contingency  plans.
These plans are in the final stages of  completion  and are expected to be ready
by June 30, 1999. SCE will be reporting on its contingency  plans to the CPUC by
July 1, 1999.  Contingency  plans will be used in  conducting  SCE and  electric
industry  drills  throughout  the rest of 1999.  However,  it is  expected  that
contingency plans will continue to be revised and enhanced as 2000 approaches.

Although  the  SCE  Year  2000  contingency  plans  are  being  developed  using
risk-based methods the plans are being evaluated against the NERC/WSCC suggested
"more probable" and "credible worst case  scenarios." SCE believes that the most
likely worst case scenario would be small,  localized  interruptions  of service
which would be restored in a timeframe that is within normal service levels.

The EME Year 2000 contingency plans for EME-operated generating plants are being
developed using risk-based  methods and following the Edison  International Year
2000 guidelines and procedures. Year 2000 contingency plans have been developed,
to date, for more than 70 % of EME-operated generating plants. The EME Year 2000
Contingency  Planning Program,  which includes development of contingency plans,
allocations  of  resources  and plan  testing,  is expected to be  completed  by
October 1, 1999. The Year 2000 contingency  plans for the EME generating  plants
that are owned or owned in part and not operated by EME are being  developed and
are also  expected  to be ready by October 1,  1999.  Contingency  plans will be

                                       21
<PAGE>

developed  for  generating  plants  and plant  systems  under  construction  and
expected to be in service in 1999.

The  Edison  Enterprises  Year 2000  contingency  plans for  Edison  Enterprises
companies,  including Edison Select,  Edison Source and Edison Utility Services,
are  being  developed  using   risk-based   methods  and  following  the  Edison
International  Year 2000 guidelines and procedures.  Draft Year 2000 Contingency
Plans have been developed, to date, for Edison Enterprises' corporate center and
for Edison Select. The Edison Enterprises Year 2000 Contingency Planning Program
is expected to be completed by October 1, 1999.

The  Edison  Capital  Year  2000  contingency  plan  is  being  developed  using
risk-based  methods and following the Edison  International Year 2000 guidelines
and procedures.  The Edison Capital Year 2000  Contingency  Planning  Program is
expected to be completed by October 1, 1999.

Edison  International  does not  expect  the Year 2000  Issue to have a material
adverse effect on its results of operation or financial  position;  however,  if
not  effectively  remediated,  and despite the  adoption of  contingency  plans,
negative  effects from Year 2000  issues,  including  those  related to internal
systems, vendors,  business partners, the ISO, the PX or customers,  could cause
results to differ.

Forward-looking Information

In the preceding  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and  Financial  Condition  and  elsewhere in this  quarterly  report,  the words
estimates,  expects,  anticipates,  believes,  and other similar expressions are
intended  to  identify  forward-looking  information  that  involves  risks  and
uncertainties. Actual results or outcomes could differ materially as a result of
such important factors as further actions by state and federal regulatory bodies
setting  rates  and  implementing  the  restructuring  of the  electric  utility
industry;  the effects of new laws and regulations relating to restructuring and
other  matters;  the effects of increased  competition  in the electric  utility
business,  including  direct customer access to retail energy  suppliers and the
unbundling  of revenue cycle  services such as metering and billing;  changes in
prices of  electricity  and fuel costs;  changes in market  interest or currency
exchange rates;  foreign currency  devaluation;  new or increased  environmental
liabilities; the effects of the Year 2000 Issue; and other unforeseen events.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Edison International

                        Geothermal Generators' Litigation

Edison International,  The Mission Group, and Mission Power Engineering Company,
have been named as defendants in a lawsuit more fully  described under "Southern
California Edison Company - Geothermal Generators' Litigation below."

Edison Mission Energy

                                 PMNC Litigation

In February  1997,  a civil action was  commenced  in the Superior  Court of the
State of California, Orange County, entitled The Parsons Corporation and PMNC v.
Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration  Partners,  L.P.  (Brooklyn Navy Yard),  Mission
Energy New York,  Inc. and B-41  Associates,  L.P., in which  plaintiffs  assert
general monetary claims under the construction  turnkey  agreement in the amount
of $136.8 million. In addition to defending this action,  Brooklyn Navy Yard has
also filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County
entitled Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, L.P. v. PMNC, Parsons Main of
New York, Inc., Nab Construction Corporation,  L.K. Comstock & Co., Inc. and The
Parsons Corporation,  asserting general monetary claims in excess of $13 million
under the construction turnkey agreement.  On March 26, 1998, the Superior Court
in the California  action granted PMNC's motion for attachment  against Brooklyn
Navy Yard in the amount of $43  million  and PMNC  subsequently  attached  three
Brooklyn Navy Yard bank accounts,  located in California,  in the amount of $0.5
million.  Brooklyn Navy Yard is appealing the attachment order. On the same day,
the court stayed all  proceedings in the  California  action pending an order by
the New York Appellate  Court of the appeal by PMNC of a denial of its motion to
dismiss  the New York  action.  That  appeal was denied  following  a hearing on
September 29, 1998. On March 9, 1999,  Brooklyn Navy Yard filed a partial Motion
for Summary Judgment in the New York action.

Southern California Edison Company

                        Geothermal Generators' Litigation

On June 9, 1997,  SCE filed a complaint  in Los Angeles  County  Superior  Court
against an independent  power  producer of geothermal  generation and six of its
affiliated  entities  (Coso  parties).  SCE alleges that in order to avoid power
production  plant  shutdowns  caused  by  excessive  noncondensable  gas  in the
geothermal field brine, the Coso parties  routinely vented highly toxic hydrogen
sulfide gas from  unmonitored  release  points  beginning in 1990 and continuing
through at least 1994,  in violation of  applicable  federal,  state,  and local
environmental  law.  According to SCE,  these  violations  constituted  material
breaches by the Coso parties of their obligations under their contracts with SCE
and  applicable  law. The  complaint  sought  termination  of the  contracts and
damages for excess power  purchase  payments made to the Coso parties.  The Coso
parties'  motion to transfer venue to Inyo County  Superior court was granted on
August 31, 1997. On June 1, 1998, the court struck SCE's request for termination
of the  contracts,  leaving SCE with its claim for damages and other relief.  On
February 16, 1999, the court denied the Coso Parties' motion for judgment on the
pleadings directed to SCE's first amended complaint.

The Coso  parties have also  asserted  various  claims  against SCE, The Mission
Group,  and  Mission  Power  Engineering  Company  (Mission  parties) in a cross
complaint  filed in the action  commenced by SCE as well as in a separate action
filed against SCE by three of the Coso parties in Inyo County Superior Court. In
November  1997,  the court  struck all but two causes of action  asserted in the
separate  action on the

                                       23
<PAGE>

grounds  that  they  should  have  been  raised  as  part of the  Coso  parties'
cross-complaint, and ordered the remaining two causes of action consolidated for
all purposes with the action filed by SCE.

The Coso parties  subsequently filed second and third amended  cross-complaints.
The third  amended  cross-complaint  names SCE,  the Mission  parties and Edison
International.  As against SCE, the third  amended  cross-complaint  purports to
state causes of action for  declaratory  relief,  breach of the covenant of good
faith and fair dealing;  inducing breach of agreements  between the Coso parties
and their former employees;  breach of an earlier  settlement  agreement between
the Mission parties and the Coso parties; slander and disparagement,  injunctive
relief and restitution for unfair business practices; anticipatory breach of the
contracts;  and violations of Public Utilities Code ss.ss. 453, 702 and 2106. As
against the Mission parties, the third amended cross-complaint seeks damages for
breach of warranty of authority  with respect to the settlement  agreement,  and
for  equitable  indemnity.   The  Coso  parties  voluntarily   dismissed  Edison
International  from the third  amended  cross-complaint  on December 4, 1998. As
against SCE, the third amended  cross-complaint seeks restitution,  compensatory
damages in excess of $115 million,  punitive  damages in an amount not less than
$400 million,  interest,  attorney's fees,  declaratory  relief,  and injunctive
relief.

On September 21, 1998, SCE filed an answer to the third amended  cross-complaint
generally denying the allegations  contained  therein and asserting  affirmative
defenses.  In  addition,  SCE filed a  cross-complaint  for  reformation  of the
contracts  alleging that if they are not  susceptible  to SCE's  interpretation,
they should be reformed to reflect the parties' true intention. SCE subsequently
voluntarily filed a first amended cross-complaint.  The Coso defendants demurred
to SCE's first amended  cross-complaint and, in January 1999, their demurrer was
sustained with leave to amend.  On February 26, 1999, SCE filed a second amended
cross-complaint for reformation.

Following  various  pre-trial  motions  filed by the Mission  parties and Edison
International,   the  Coso   Parties   purported   to  file  a  fourth   amended
cross-complaint  on December 23, 1998,  against the Mission  Parties  only.  The
Mission Parties' demurrer to and motion to strike directed to the fourth amended
cross-complaint was heard and taken under submission on March 10, 1999.

On December 15, 1998,  the Court granted the Coso parties leave to file a second
amended complaint in the separately filed (now consolidated)  action. The second
amended complaint,  which names SCE and Edison  International,  alleges that SCE
engaged in anti-competitive  conduct, false advertising,  and conduct proscribed
by Public Utilities Code ss. 2106, and seeks injunctive relief, restitution, and
punitive damages. On January 20, 1999, SCE filed three motions to strike several
portions of the second amended complaint on the grounds,  among others, that the
CPUC or FERC have  either  exclusive  or primary  jurisdiction  over the matters
asserted  therein,  and  that  SCE's  alleged  conduct  was  in  furtherance  of
constitutionally  protected rights of free speech and petition and therefore not
actionable.  These  matters  were heard on February  22,  1999,  and taken under
submission at that time. Edison  International  also filed a demurrer and motion
to strike the second  amended  complaint.  The Court denied the motion to strike
and overruled the demurrer on March 22, 1999.

On April 1, 1999,  the Court  signed a  stipulation  and order  submitted by the
parties  staying all  proceedings  to allow the parties to engage in  settlement
discussions. The stay is in effect for a period of 60 days through and including
May 29,  1999,  subject  to the right of any party to  terminate  the stay on or
after April 30, 1999. As a result of the stay, all discovery has been suspended.
Furthermore,  during the period of the stay,  the Court will not issue orders or
rulings on matters taken under submission.

The  Court  has set a trial  date of March 1,  2000,  but,  in light of the stay
currently  in effect,  has reserved  jurisdiction  to advance or to continue the
trial date. The materiality of net final judgments  against SCE in these actions
would be  largely  dependent  on the extent to which any  damages or  additional
payments which might result therefrom are recoverable through rates.

                      San Onofre Personal Injury Litigation

SCE is actively involved in three lawsuits claiming personal injuries  allegedly
resulting from exposure to radiation at San Onofre. On August 31, 1995, the wife
and daughter of a former San Onofre  security  supervisor  sued SCE and SDG&E in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Plaintiffs also
named  Combustion  Engineering and the Institute of Nuclear Power  Operations as
defendants.  All trial court proceedings were stayed pending ruling of the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeal,  on an appeal of a lower  court's  judgment in favor of
SCE in two earlier cases raising similar allegations. On May 28, 1998, the Court
of Appeal affirmed these  judgments.  Pursuant to an agreement of the parties as
described  below,  all proceedings in this matter have been stayed. A trial date
has not yet been set.

On November 17, 1995, an SCE employee and his wife sued SCE in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of California.  Plaintiffs also named Combustion
Engineering.  The  trial  in this  case  resulted  in a jury  verdict  for  both
defendants.  The plaintiffs' motion for a new trial was denied. Plaintiffs filed
an appeal of the trial  court's  judgment to the Ninth  Circuit Court of Appeal.
Briefing  on the  appeal  was  completed  in January  1999 and the  parties  are
awaiting  a date for oral  argument  to be set by the court.  A decision  is not
expected until early 2000.

On November 28, 1995, a former contract worker at San Onofre,  her husband,  and
her son,  sued SCE in the U.S.  District  Court  for the  Southern  District  of
California.  Plaintiffs also named Combustion  Engineering.  On August 12, 1996,
the Court  dismissed  the  claims of the  former  worker  and her  husband  with
prejudice,  leaving only the son as  plaintiff.  Pursuant to an agreement of the
parties as described below, all proceedings in this matter have been stayed.

On November 20, 1997, a former  contract  worker at San Onofre and his wife sued
SCE in the  Superior  Court of  California,  County of San  Diego.  The case was
removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern  District of California.  On
May 11, 1998, the plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  On May 22, 1998,
SCE  filed an answer  denying  the  material  allegations  of the first  amended
complaint.  Pursuant to a stipulation of the parties,  the court,  on January 4,
1999, dismissed the plaintiffs' complaint in this matter with prejudice.

In March of 1999,  SCE reached an agreement  with the  plaintiffs in both of the
above  cases  currently  pending at the U.S.  District  Court  level to stay all
proceedings  including  trial,  pending the results of the case currently before
the  Ninth   Circuit   Court  of  Appeal.   The  parties   agreed  that  if  the
plaintiffs/petitioners  do not receive a favorable  determination on appeal then
the two cases at the District Court level will be dismissed.  If,  however,  the
plaintiffs/petitioners  receive a favorable  determination on appeal, then those
two cases will be set for trial.  On March 23, 1999, the District court approved
the parties' stay agreement in both these cases.

SCE was previously involved,  along with other defendants,  in two earlier cases
raising  allegations  similar  to  those  described  above.   Although  SCE  was
successful  in  removing  itself from those  actions  and is no longer  actively
involved in them,  the impact on SCE, if any, from further  proceedings in these
cases against the remaining defendants can not be determined at this time.

               Mohave Generating Station Environmental Litigation

On February 19,  1997,  the Sierra Club and the Grand Canyon Trust filed suit in
the U.S.  District Court of Nevada against SCE and the other three  co-owners of
Mohave  Generating  Station.  The lawsuit alleges that Mohave has been violating
various  provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Nevada state  implementation
plan, certain EPA orders,  and applicable  pollution permits relating to opacity
and sulfur dioxide emission limits over the last five years. The plaintiffs seek
declaratory and injunctive relief as well as civil penalties. Under the CAA, the
maximum civil penalty  obtainable is $25,000 per day per violation.  SCE and the
co-owners  obtained an extension to respond to the complaint pending the court's
ruling on a motion to dismiss filed by the defendants.  The plaintiffs  filed an
opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss as well as a separate motion for
partial summary  judgment on May 8, 1998. The initial ruling by the court on the
motions was (prior to the stay of proceedings described below) expected in early
1999.

                                       25
<PAGE>

On June 4,  1998,  the  plaintiffs  served SCE and its  co-owners  with a 60-day
supplemental  notice of  intent  to sue.  This  supplemental  notice  identified
additional causes of action as well as an additional  plaintiff  (National Parks
and Conservation  Association) to be added to the  proceedings.  On November 12,
1998, the court bifurcated the liability and damage phases of the case.

On December 8, 1998,  defendants  filed a supplemental  memorandum in support of
defendants'  opposition to plaintiffs'  motion for partial summary judgment.  On
February 4, 1999,  plaintiffs  filed their first  amended  complaint  to add the
National Parks and  Conservation  Association  as a plaintiff in the action.  On
March 10, 1999, defendants filed a motion for partial summary judgment. On March
11, 1999,  plaintiffs  filed a motion for partial summary  judgment to establish
emission limit violations as alleged in certain of the causes of action in their
first amended complaint.

On March 8, 1999, the parties filed a stipulated request for a 60-day stay which
was granted and  ordered by the court on March 9, 1999.  Settlement  discussions
are ongoing.

                                 APRIL 15, 1999


                          ARTICLE I -- PRINCIPAL OFFICE

Section 1.        Principal Office.

     The principal office of the Corporation is hereby fixed and located at 2244
Walnut Grove Avenue, in the City of Rosemead, County of Los Angeles, State of
California. The Board of Directors is hereby granted full power and authority to
change said principal office from one location to another.


                           ARTICLE II -- SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.        Meeting Locations.

     All meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the
corporation or at such other place or places within or without the State of
California as may be designated by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). In the
event such places shall prove inadequate in capacity for any meeting of
shareholders, an adjournment may be taken to and the meeting held at such other
place of adequate capacity as may be designated by the officer of the
corporation presiding at such meeting.

Section 2.        Annual Meetings.

     The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the third Thursday of
the month of April of each year at 10:00 a.m. on said day to elect directors to
hold office for the year next ensuing and until their successors shall be
elected, and to consider and act upon such other matters as may lawfully be
presented to such meeting; provided, however, that should said day fall upon a

same time and place on the next day thereafter ensuing which is not a legal
holiday.

Section 3.        Special Meetings.

     Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the
Board, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or upon written request of any
three members of the Board, or by the holders of shares entitled to cast not
less than ten percent of the votes at such meeting. Upon request in writing to
the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or the Secretary by
any person (other than the Board) entitled to call a special meeting of
shareholders, the officer forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the
shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by
the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five nor more
than sixty days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given
within twenty days after receipt of the request, the persons entitled to call
the meeting may give the notice.

Section 4.        Notice of Annual or Special Meeting.

     Written notice of each annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be
given not less than ten (or if sent by third-class mail, thirty) nor more than
sixty days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote
thereat. Such notice shall state the place, date, and hour of the meeting and
(i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be
transacted, and no other business may be transacted, or (ii) in the case of an
annual meeting, those matters which the Board, at the time of the mailing of the
notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders, but, subject to the
provisions of applicable law and these Bylaws, any proper matter may be
presented at an annual meeting for such action. The notice of any special or
annual meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the names of
nominees intended at the time of the notice to be presented by the Board for
election. For any matter to be presented by a shareholder at an annual meeting
held after December 31, 1993, but on or before December 31, 1999, including the
nomination of any person (other than a person nominated by or at the direction
of the Board) for election to the Board, written

notice must be received by the Secretary of the corporation from the
shareholder not less than sixty nor more than one hundred twenty days prior to
the date of the annual meeting specified in these Bylaws and to which the
shareholder's notice relates; provided however, that in the event the annual
meeting to which the shareholder's written notice relates is to be held on a
date which is more than thirty days earlier than the date of the annual meeting
specified in these Bylaws, the notice from a shareholder must be received by the
Secretary not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the
date on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made or
given to the shareholders. For any matter to be presented by a shareholder at an
annual meeting held after December 31, 1999, including the nomination of any
person (other than a person nominated by or at the direction of the Board) for
election to the Board, written notice must be received by the Secretary of the
corporation from the shareholder not more than one hundred eighty days nor less
than one hundred twenty days prior to the date on which the proxy materials for
the prior year's annual meeting were first released to shareholders by the
corporation; provided however, that in the event the annual meeting to which the
shareholder's written notice relates is to be held on a date which is more than
thirty days earlier or later than the date of the annual meeting specified in
these Bylaws, the notice from a shareholder must be received by the Secretary
not earlier than two hundred twenty days prior to the date of the annual meeting
to which the shareholder's notice relates nor later than one hundred sixty days

days' prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is made by the earliest
possible quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or, if impracticable, any means
reasonably calculated to inform shareholders including without limitation a
report on Form 8-K, a press release or publication once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county in which the principal office is located, in
which event notice by the shareholder to be timely must be received not later
than the close of business on the tenth day following the date of such public
disclosure. The shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) a
brief description of each matter to be presented at the annual meeting by the
shareholder; (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's
books, of the shareholder; (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation
which are beneficially owned by the shareholder; and (d) any material interest
of the shareholder in the matters to be presented. Any shareholder who intends
to nominate a candidate for election as a director shall also set forth in such
a notice (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of each
nominee that he or she intends to nominate at the meeting, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of each nominee, (iii) the class and number of shares
of capital stock of the corporation beneficially owned by each nominee, and (iv)
any other information concerning the nominee that would be required under the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in a proxy statement soliciting
proxies for the election of the nominee. The notice shall also include a
consent, signed by the shareholder's nominees, to serve as a director of the
corporation if elected. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the
contrary, and subject to the provisions of any applicable law, no business shall
be conducted at a special or annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 4.

     Notice of a shareholders' meeting shall be given either personally or by
first-class mail (or, if the outstanding shares of the corporation are held of
record by 500 or more persons on the record date for the meeting, by third-class
mail) or by other means of written communication, addressed to the shareholder
at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or
given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice; or, if no
such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal office of the
corporation is located or by publication at least once in a newspaper of general


                                       3
<PAGE>

circulation in the county in which the principal office is located. Notice by
mail shall be deemed to have been given at the time a written notice is
deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid. Any other written notice
shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is personally delivered to the
recipient or is delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually
transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the
recipient.

Section 5.        Quorum.

     A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders. The affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting
at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute
at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the
shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is
required by law or the Articles; provided, however, that the shareholders
present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may
continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
enough shareholders to have less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than
adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to
constitute a quorum.

Section 6.        Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof.

     Any shareholders' meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may be
adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders
of which are either present in person or represented by proxy thereat, but in
the absence of a quorum (except as provided in Section 5 of this Article) no
other business may be transacted at such meeting.

     It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of the
adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than by
announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken. At the adjourned
meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been
transacted at the original meeting. However, when any shareholders' meeting is
adjourned for more than forty-five days or, if after adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall
be given as in the case of an original meeting.

Section 7.        Voting.

     The shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote at any such
meeting shall be only persons in whose name shares stand on the stock records of
the corporation on the record date determined in accordance with Section 8 of
this Article.


                                       4
<PAGE>


     Voting shall in all cases be subject to the provisions of Chapter 7 of the
California General Corporation Law, and to the following provisions:

     (a) Subject to clause (g), shares held by an administrator, executor,
guardian, conservator or custodian may be voted by such holder either in person
or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into the holder's name; and
shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in
person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by such
trustee without a transfer of such shares into the trustee's name.

     (b) Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver; and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by
such receiver without the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if authority
to do so is contained in the order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 705 of the California General
Corporation Law and except where otherwise agreed in writing between the
parties, a shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and
thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

     (d) Shares standing in the name of a minor may be voted and the corporation
may treat all rights incident thereto as exercisable by the minor, in person or
by proxy, whether or not the corporation has notice, actual or constructive, of
the non-age unless a guardian of the minor's property has been appointed and
written notice of such appointment given to the corporation.

     (e) Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxyholder as the bylaws of
such other corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as
the Board of Directors of such other corporation may determine or, in the
absence of such determination, by the chairman of the board, president or any
vice president of such other corporation, or by any other person authorized to
do so by the chairman of the board, president or any vice president of such
other corporation. Shares which are purported to be voted or any proxy purported
to be executed in the name of a corporation (whether or not any title of the
person signing is indicated) shall be presumed to be voted or the proxy executed
in accordance with the provisions of this subdivision, unless the contrary is
shown.

     (f) Shares of the corporation owned by any of its subsidiaries shall not be
entitled to vote on any matter.

     (g) Shares of the corporation held by the corporation in a fiduciary
capacity, and shares of the corporation held in a fiduciary capacity by any of
its subsidiaries, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter, except to the
extent that 


                                       5
<PAGE>

the settlor or beneficial owner possesses and exercises a right to vote or
to give the corporation binding instructions as to how to vote such shares.

     (h) If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether
fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband
and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees,
persons entitled to vote under a shareholder voting agreement or otherwise, or
if two or more persons (including proxyholders) have the same fiduciary
relationship respecting the same shares, unless the secretary of the corporation
is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the
instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is
so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:

          (i)   If only one votes, such act binds all;

          (ii)  If more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds
                all;

          (iii) If more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any
                particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in
                question proportionately.

If the instrument so filed or the registration of the shares shows that any such
tenancy is held in unequal  interests,  a majority or even split for the purpose
of this section shall be a majority or even split in interest.

     No shareholder of any class of stock of this corporation shall be entitled
to cumulate votes at any election of directors of this corporation.

     Elections for directors need not be by ballot; provided, however, that all
elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at
the meeting and before the voting begins.

     In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number
of votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them up to the number of
directors to be elected by such shares are elected.

Section 8.        Record Date.

     The Board may fix, in advance, a record date for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution, or any allotment of rights, or to
exercise rights in respect of any other lawful action. The record date so fixed
shall be not more than sixty days nor less than ten days prior to the date of
the meeting nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. When a record
date is so fixed, only shareholders of record at the close of business on that
date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or to receive the
dividend, 


                                       6
<PAGE>

distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights, as the
case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the
corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided by law or these
Bylaws. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting
unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. The Board
shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five
days.

     If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall
be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which
notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the
business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record
date for determining shareholders for any purpose other than as set forth in
this Section 8 or Section 10 of this Article shall be at the close of business
on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the
sixtieth day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.

Section 9.        Consent of Absentees.

     The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however called and
noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held
after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by
proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled
to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or
a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof.
All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate
records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Neither the business to be
transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders
need be specified in any written waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the
meeting or approval of the minutes thereof, except as provided in Section 601
(f) of the California General Corporation Law.

Section 10.       Action Without Meeting.

     Subject to Section 603 of the California General Corporation Law, any
action which, under any provision of the California General Corporation Law, may
be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a
meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not
less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted. Unless a record date for voting purposes be fixed as provided
in Section 8 of this Article, the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to give consent pursuant to this Section 10, when no prior action by


                                       7
<PAGE>

the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is
given.

Section 11.       Proxies.

     Every person entitled to vote shares has the right to do so either in
person or by one or more persons, not to exceed three, designated by a proxy
authorized by such shareholder or the shareholder's attorney in fact and filed
with the corporation, in accordance with Cal. Corp. Code ss.178. Subject to the
following sentence, any proxy duly authorized continues in full force and effect
until revoked by the person authorizing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto by
a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a
subsequent proxy authorized by the person authorizing the prior proxy and
presented to the meeting, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person
by the person authorizing the proxy; provided, however, that a proxy is not
revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is
counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by this
corporation. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from
the date of its authorization unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 12.       Inspectors of Election.

     In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board may appoint any
persons other than nominees as inspectors of election to act at such meeting and
any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if
any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, the chairman of any
such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or shareholder's proxy
shall, make such appointments at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be
either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more
shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares present shall determine whether
one or three inspectors are to be appointed.

     The duties of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by Section 707 (b) of
the California General Corporation Law and shall include: determining the number
of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at
the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and
effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining
all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to
vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining when the polls
shall close; determining the result; and doing such acts as may be proper to
conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. If there are
three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is
effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report
or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the
facts stated therein.

                            ARTICLE III -- DIRECTORS

Section 1.        Powers.

     Subject to limitations of the Articles, of these Bylaws and of the
California General Corporation Law relating to action required to be approved by
the shareholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or
under the direction of the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the
day-to-day operation of the business of the corporation provided that the
business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board. Without
prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is
hereby expressly declared that the Board shall have the following powers in
addition to the other powers enumerated in these Bylaws:

     (a) To select and remove all the other officers, agents and employees of
the corporation, prescribe the powers and duties for them as may not be
inconsistent with law, with the Articles or these Bylaws, fix their compensation
and require from them security for faithful service.

     (b) To conduct, manage and control the affairs and business of the
corporation and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent
with law, or with the Articles or these Bylaws, as they may deem best.

     (c) To adopt, make and use a corporate seal, and to prescribe the forms of
certificates of stock, and to alter the form of such seal and of such
certificates from time to time as in their judgment they may deem best.

     (d) To authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation from
time to time, upon such terms and for such consideration as may be lawful.

     (e) To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the
corporation, and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the
corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages,
pledges, hypothecations or other evidences of debt and securities therefor.

Section 2.        Number of Directors.

     The authorized number of directors shall be not less than nine nor more
than seventeen until changed by amendment of the Articles or by a Bylaw duly
adopted by the shareholders. The exact number of directors shall be fixed,
within the limits specified, by the Board by adoption of a resolution or by the


                                       9
<PAGE>

shareholders in the same manner provided in these Bylaws for the amendment
thereof.

Section 3.        Election and Term of Office.

     The directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders,
but if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected
thereat, the directors may be elected at any special meeting of shareholders
held for that purpose. Each director shall hold office until the next annual
meeting and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

Section 4.        Vacancies.

     Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the
Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board, unless the
notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation. If the
resignation is effective at a future time, a successor may be elected to take
office when the resignation becomes effective.

     Vacancies in the Board, except those existing as a result of a removal of a
director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less
than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected
shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until such director's
successor has been elected and qualified. Vacancies existing as a result of a
removal of a director may be filled by the shareholders as provided by law.

     A vacancy or vacancies in the Board shall be deemed to exist in case of the
death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the authorized number of
directors be increased, or if the shareholders fail, at any annual or special
meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect
the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting.

     The Board may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared
of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony. The shareholders
may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies
not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent other than to
fill a vacancy created by removal requires the consent of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote. If the Board accepts the resignation of a
director tendered to take effect at a future time, the Board or the shareholders
shall have power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to
become effective.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of
removing any director prior to the expiration of the director's term of office.

Section 5.        Place of Meeting.

     Regular or special meetings of the Board shall be held at any place within
or without the State of California which has been designated from time to time

Secretary or by any two directors.

     Special meetings of the Board shall be held upon four days' written notice
or forty-eight hours' notice given personally or by telephone, telegraph, telex,
facsimile, electronic mail or other similar means of communication. Any such
notice shall be addressed or delivered to each director at such director's
address as it is shown upon the records of the corporation or as may have been
given to the corporation by the director for purposes of notice or, if such
address is not shown on such records or is not readily ascertainable, at the
place in which the meetings of the directors are regularly held. The notice need
not specify the purpose of such special meeting.

     Notice by mail shall be deemed to have been given at the time a written
notice is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. Any other
written 


                                       11
<PAGE>

the recipient. Oral notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is
communicated, in person or by telephone, radio or other similar means to the
recipient or to a person at the office of the recipient who the person giving
the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the recipient.

Section 8.        Quorum.

     One-third of the number of authorized directors constitutes a quorum of the
Board for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as provided in Section
ll of this Article. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the
directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be
regarded as the act of the Board, unless a greater number is required by law or
by the Articles; provided, however, that a meeting at which a quorum is
initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the
withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority
of the required quorum for such meeting.

Section 9.        Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone.

     Members of the Board may participate in a meeting through use of conference
telephone or similar communications equipment, so long as all members
participating in such meeting can hear one another. Such participation
constitutes presence in person at such meeting.

Section 10.       Waiver of Notice.

     The transactions of any meeting of the Board, however called and noticed or
wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular
call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the
meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a
consent to holding such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such
waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made
a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Section 11.       Adjournment.

     A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present,

with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board.

         Every director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable  time to
inspect and copy all books,  records and  documents of every kind and to inspect
the  physical   properties  of  the  corporation  and  also  of  its  subsidiary
corporations,  domestic or foreign. Such inspection by a director may be made in
person or by agent or attorney and includes the right to copy and make extracts.

Section 15.       Committees.

     The Board may appoint one or more committees, each consisting of two or
more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may delegate to

or with the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Secretary alone, shall
execute in the name of the corporation such written instruments as may be
authorized by the Board and, without special direction of the Board, such

     Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or
is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
formal or informal, whether brought in the name of the corporation or otherwise
and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer
of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged
action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity while
serving as a director or officer, shall, subject to the terms of any agreement
between the corporation and such person, be indemnified and held harmless by the
corporation to the fullest extent permissible under California law and the
corporation's Articles of Incorporation, against all costs, charges, expenses,
liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or
officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
administrators; provided, however, that (A) the corporation shall indemnify any
such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized by the Board of the corporation; (B) the corporation shall indemnify
any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) other than a proceeding by or in the name of the corporation to procure
a judgment in its favor only if any settlement of such a proceeding is approved
in writing by the corporation; (C) that no such person shall be indemnified (i)
except to the extent that the aggregate of losses to be indemnified exceeds the
amount of such losses for which the director or officer is paid pursuant to any
directors' and officers' liability insurance policy maintained by the
corporation; (ii) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against
such person for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such
person of securities of the corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; (iii) if a court of
competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is
unlawful; and (iv) as to circumstances in which indemnity is expressly
prohibited by Section 317 of the General Corporation Law of California (the
"Law"); and (D) that no such person 


                                       24
<PAGE>

shall be indemnified with regard to any action brought by or in the right
of the corporation for breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders
(a) for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and
culpable violation of law; (b) for acts or omissions that the director or
officer believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the
director or officer; (c) for any transaction from which the director or officer
derived an improper personal benefit; (d) for acts or omissions that show a
reckless disregard for the director's or officer's duty to the corporation or
its shareholders in circumstances in which the director or officer was aware, or
should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties,
of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (e) for acts
or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to
an abdication of the director's or officer's duties to the corporation or its
shareholders; and (f) for costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses
arising under Section 310 or 316 of the Law. The right to indemnification
conferred in this Article shall include the right to be paid by the corporation
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that if the Law permits the payment of such
expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director
or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service
to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding, such advances shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of
an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all
amounts to the corporation if it shall be ultimately determined that such person
is not entitled to be indemnified.

Section 2.        Indemnification of Employees and Agents.

     A person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an
employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as an employee or agent of another enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such action is an
alleged action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity
while serving as an employee or agent, may, subject to the terms of any
agreement between the corporation and such person, be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by California law
and the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, against all costs, charges,
expenses, liabilities and losses, (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines,
ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)

corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the
corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its
Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct, if any, nor an actual determination by the
corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its
shareholders) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct,
shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption for the purpose of an
action that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that a
director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including

or action without admission of liability) in defense of any proceeding referred
to in Section 1 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

Section 5.        Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

     The right to indemnification provided by this Article shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

Section 6.        Insurance.

     The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Law.

Section 7.        Expenses as a Witness.

     To the extent that any director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation is by reason of such position, or a position with another entity at
the request of the corporation, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, he
or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

Section 8.        Indemnity Agreements.

employee or agent of the corporation providing for indemnification to the
fullest extent permissible under the Law and the corporation's Articles of
Incorporation.

     Each and every paragraph, sentence, term and provision of this Article is
separate and distinct so that if any paragraph, sentence, term or provision
hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability

modified by a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve its validity and to
provide the claimant with, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
and any agreement between the corporation and claimant, the broadest possible
indemnification permitted under applicable law.

Section 10.       Effect of Repeal or Modification.

     Any repeal or modification of this Article shall not adversely affect any
right of indemnification of a director or officer existing at the time of such
repeal or modification with respect to any action or omission occurring prior to
such repeal or modification.

unknown shall automatically cease to be directors, with like effect as if such

     The number of directors necessary to constitute a quorum shall be one-third
of the authorized number of directors as specified in the foregoing Section, or
such other minimum number as, pursuant to the law or lawful decree then in
force, it is possible for the Bylaws of a corporation to specify.

Section 5.        Creation of Emergency Committee.

     In the event the number of directors remaining after eliminating those who
have ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2 is less than the minimum
number of authorized directors required by law, then until the appointment of
additional directors to make up such required minimum, all the powers and
authorities which the Board could by law delegate, including all powers and
authorities which the Board could delegate to a committee, shall be
automatically vested in an emergency committee, and the emergency committee
shall thereafter manage the affairs of the corporation pursuant to such powers
and authorities and shall have all other powers and authorities as may by law or
lawful decree be conferred on any person or body of persons during a period of
emergency.

Section 6.        Constitution of Emergency Committee.

     The emergency committee shall consist of all the directors remaining after
eliminating those who have ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2,
provided that such remaining directors are not less than three in number. In the
event such remaining directors are less than three in number the emergency
committee shall consist of three persons, who shall be the remaining director or
directors and either one or two officers or employees of the corporation, as the
remaining director or directors may in writing designate. If there is no
remaining director, the emergency committee shall consist of the three most
senior officers of the corporation who are available to serve, and if and to the
extent that officers are not available, the most senior employees of the
corporation. Seniority shall be determined in accordance with any designation of
seniority in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, and in the absence of
such designation, shall be determined by rate of remuneration. In the event that
there are no remaining directors and no officers or employees of the corporation
available, the emergency committee shall consist of three persons designated in
writing by the shareholder owning the largest number of shares of record as of
the date of the last record date.

Section 7.        Powers of Emergency Committee.

     The emergency committee, once appointed, shall govern its own procedures
and shall have power to increase the number of members thereof beyond the
original number, and in the event of a vacancy or vacancies therein, arising at
any time, the remaining member or members of the emergency committee shall have
the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies. In the event at any time after its
appointment all members of the emergency committee shall die or resign or become
unavailable to act for any reason whatsoever, a new emergency committee shall be
appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article.

Section 8.        Directors Becoming Available.

     Any person who has ceased to be a director pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2 and who thereafter becomes available to serve as a director shall
automatically become a member of the emergency committee.

Section 9.        Election of Board of Directors.

     The emergency committee shall, as soon after its appointment as is
practicable, take all requisite action to secure the election of a board of
directors,


                                       29
<PAGE>

and upon such election all the powers and authorities of the emergency
committee shall cease.

Section 10.       Termination of Emergency Committee.

     In the event, after the appointment of an emergency committee, a sufficient
number of persons who ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2 become
available to serve as directors, so that if they had not ceased to be directors
as aforesaid, there would be enough directors to constitute the minimum number
of directors required by law, then all such persons shall automatically be
deemed to be reappointed as directors and the powers and authorities of the
emergency committee shall be at an end.


                           ARTICLE VIII -- AMENDMENTS

Section 1.        Amendments.

     These Bylaws may be amended or repealed either by approval of the
outstanding shares or by the approval of the Board; provided, however, that a
Bylaw specifying or changing a fixed number of directors or the maximum or
minimum number or changing from a fixed to a variable Board or vice versa may
only be adopted by approval of the outstanding shares. The exact number of
directors within the maximum and minimum number specified in these Bylaws may be
amended by the Board alone.





                  EDISON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

            1999 Statement of Terms and Conditions of Plan Awards for
                 Executive Officers and Key Management Employees


1999 awards (Plan Awards) made under the Edison Equity  Compensation Plan (Plan)
to  eligible  recipients   (Holders)  at  Edison   International  (EIX)  or  its
participating  affiliates (the Companies, or individually,  the Company) include
EIX nonqualified  stock options to purchase EIX Common Stock (EIX Options),  EIX
Option dividend  equivalents  (Dividend  Equivalents),  Edison Mission Energy or
Edison Capital  affiliate  option  performance  awards  (Affiliate  Options) and
Edison   Enterprises   affiliate  cash  value  added  performance   awards  (CVA
Performance Awards) which are subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.  PRICE

(a) The exercise  price of an EIX Option stated in the award  certificate is the
average of the high and low sales  prices of EIX Common Stock as reported in the
Western  Edition of The Wall  Street  Journal  for the New York  Stock  Exchange
Composite Transactions for the date of the award.

(b) The annual  exercise  price of an  Affiliate  Option  will be the base price
stated in the award  certificate  escalated by an annual  compound  appreciation
rate linked to the affiliate's cost of capital plus an overhead allowance.  Upon
any  significant  subsequent  change in the  affiliate's  cost of  capital,  the
Affiliate   Option  exercise  price  for  that  year  may  be  redetermined  and
prospectively indexed reflecting the affiliate's revised appreciation rate.

2. VESTING

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3, Plan Awards may only be exercised or
paid to the extent vested.  The initial  vesting date will be January 2nd of the
year following the date of the grant, or six months after the date of the grant,
whichever date is later.
The Plan Awards will vest as follows:

o    On the  initial  vesting  date,  the Plan Awards will vest as to 25% of the
     covered shares or units.  

o    On January 2nd of the  following  year,  the Plan Awards will vest as to an
     additional  25% of the  covered  shares or units.  

o    On January 2nd of the  following  year,  the Plan Awards will vest as to an
     additional  25% of the  covered  shares or units.  

o    On January 2nd of the fourth  year  following  the date of grant,  the Plan
     Awards will be fully vested.

(b) The vested  portions  of the Plan Award  will  accumulate  to the extent not
exercised, and be exercisable by the Holder subject to the provisions of Section
3, in whole or in part,  in any  subsequent  period but not later than the first
business day of the 10th calendar year  following the date of the award,  or, in
the case of  Affiliate  Options,  not  later  than the end of the  final  60-day
exercise period.

(c) If the Holder retires,  dies or is permanently  and totally  disabled during
the four-year  vesting  period,  the Plan Awards will vest and be exercisable to
the extent of 1/48th of the aggregate number of shares or units granted for each
full month of service during the vesting period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Plan Award of a Holder who has served as a member of the Southern California
Edison Company  Management  Committee will be fully vested and exercisable  upon
his or her retirement, death or permanent and total disability.

(d) Upon  termination  of a Holder's  employment  for any reason  other than the
reasons  specified in Subsection  (c), only that portion of the Plan Award which
has vested as of the prior vesting date may be exercised,  and that portion will
be forfeited unless exercised within 180 days following the date of termination,
or in the case of Affiliate Options,  the first 60-day exercise period following
the date of termination.  Any earned and vested Dividend  Equivalents  remaining
unpaid will be paid upon expiration of the 180-day period.

(e)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Plan Awards may vest in  accordance  with
Section 3.4 of the Plan as a result of certain events,  including liquidation of
EIX or merger,  reorganization  or consolidation of EIX as a result of which EIX
is not the surviving corporation.  Upon a change of control of EIX following the
occurrence  of a  Distribution  Date,  as that  term is  defined  in the  Rights
Agreement  approved by the EIX Board of Directors on November 20, 1996, the Plan
Awards will vest and will remain  exercisable  for at least two years  following
the Distribution  Date, or in the case of Affiliate  Options,  through the first
exercise  period  occurring  at least two years  after  such date.  During  that
period,  (i) the Plan may not be terminated,  (ii) individual  awards may not be
cashed out,  terminated,  or modified  without the Holder's  consent,  and (iii)
valuation  procedures and exercise periods will occur on a basis consistent with
past practice.

3. PLAN AWARD EXERCISE

(a) The Holder may exercise a Plan Award by providing  written  notice to EIX on
the form  prescribed by EIX for this purpose  accompanied by full payment of any
applicable exercise price.  Payment must be in cash, or its equivalent,  such as
EIX Common Stock,  acceptable to EIX. A "cashless" exercise will be accommodated
for all  Affiliate  Options,  and may be  accommodated  for EIX  Options  at the
discretion of EIX. Until payment is accepted,  the Holder will have no rights in
the optioned stock.  Earned Dividend  Equivalents may not be directly applied to
payment of the exercise price for EIX Options.

(b) EIX Options may be exercised at any time after they have vested  through the
first business day of the 10th calendar year following the date of the award and
CVA  Performance  Awards that have been  translated  into EIX Common Stock Units
(EIX Units) as provided in Section  5(b) may be exercised at any time after they
have vested  through the first  business day of the 10th calendar year following
the date of the  award.  Affiliate  Options  may be  exercised  after  they have
vested, but only during an annually specified 60-day period following the fiscal
year end and the completion of an independently  reviewed valuation report which
indicates a share value for the fiscal year higher than the applicable Affiliate
Option  exercise  price for that  period.  The  final  60-day  Affiliate  Option
exercise period will commence no later than the end of the second quarter of the
10th  calendar  year  following  the date of the  award.  Subject  to Section 9,
Affiliate  Options  are  payable in cash upon  exercise to the extent the actual
value of an affiliate share exceeds the applicable exercise price.

(c) The Holder agrees that any  securities  acquired by him or her hereunder are
being  acquired for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to
or for sale in  connection  with  any  distribution  thereof  and that he or she
understands  that  such  securities  may  not  be  sold,  transferred,  pledged,
hypothecated,  alienated,  or otherwise  assigned or disposed of without  either
registration  under the Securities Act of 1933 or compliance  with the exemption
provided by Rule 144 or another applicable exemption under such act.

(d) In accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Plan, the Holder will have no right
or claim to any  specific  funds,  property  or assets of EIX as a result of the
award.

4. EIX OPTION DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

(a) An EIX  Dividend  Equivalent  account will be  established  on behalf of the
Holder if Dividend  Equivalents  have been granted  pursuant to the award.  This
account may be credited with all or a portion of the dividends payable after the
date of the award on the number of shares of stock  covered by the  related  EIX
Option award depending upon EIX performance  during the first three years of the
Plan Award term as provided in Subsection  (b). No amount will be credited prior
to January 2nd of the third year  following  the date of the award.  No Dividend
Equivalent  will accrue on any related EIX Option  exercised  during that period
regardless of EIX performance.  Dividend Equivalents credited on any related EIX
Option will  accumulate  in this account  without  interest and will vest on the
same schedule as the related EIX Option to purchase the corresponding  shares of
EIX Common Stock. Once earned and vested, the Dividend  Equivalents will be paid
upon the earlier of (i) the request of the holder at any time prior to the final
year of the Plan Award term  regardless  of whether  the  related  EIX Option is
exercised,  (ii) the exercise of the related EIX Option, or (iii) the expiration
or termination of the related EIX Option. Upon such payment, no further Dividend
Equivalents  will accrue even if the related EIX Option remains  outstanding and
exercisable.

(b)  Dividend  Equivalents  related to EIX Options are subject to a  performance
measure based on the percentile  ranking of EIX total  shareholder  return (TSR)
compared  to the TSR for each stock in the Dow Jones  Electric  Utilities  Group
Index.  The  percentile  ranking will be measured at the completion of the first
three years of the Plan Award term . If the EIX  average  ranking is in the 60th
percentile  or higher for the 3-year  period,  100% of the Dividend  Equivalents
will be earned from the date of grant through the date the related EIX Option is
exercised or the date the Dividend  Equivalents are paid,  whichever is earlier.
If the EIX  average  ranking  is in the  25th  percentile,  25% of the  Dividend
Equivalents  will  be  earned.  No  Dividend  Equivalents  will  be  earned  for
performance below the 25th percentile,  and a pro rata amount will be earned for
performance between the 25th and 60th percentiles.

Dividend Equivalents related to unexercised EIX Options that were not earned due
to the  limitations  of this  Subsection (b) may be earned back as of the end of
each of the last five years of the Plan Award term if it is  determined  at that
point that the EIX cumulative  average TSR percentile  ranking equals or exceeds
the 60th percentile.

5. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

(a)  Affiliate  Options are  performance  awards under the Plan similar to stock
options but based on shares of  hypothetical  affiliate  stock  created for this
purpose only.  The Affiliate  Option  exercise  prices are derived by applying a
compound annual  appreciation rate, based on the affiliate's cost of capital and
an allowance for corporate overhead, to the base price of a share. Following the
end of each calendar year during the Plan Award term, new affiliate share prices
will be computed.  If the affiliate  share value exceeds the exercise  price for
that period,  any portion of the vested Affiliate Option may be exercised by the
Holder in accordance  with Section 3 and the difference  will be paid in cash to
the Holder.  If a change in the  affiliate's  cost of capital has occurred  that
significantly  affects  the new share  price  valuation,  the  Affiliate  Option
exercise  prices  may be  redetermined  (i) for that  year to  reflect  the same
intrinsic value result (gain or loss) that would have existed using the previous
cost of  capital,  and  (ii)  for  subsequent  years  by  applying  the  revised
appreciation rate.

(b) CVA Performance Awards under the Plan are based on cash value created at the
affiliate and  allocated to Holders for this purpose only.  Following the end of
the first year of the  ten-year  Plan Award  term,  the cash value  added at the
affiliate  during the first year will be determined.  Each Holder's share of any
cash value added during the first year of the Plan Award term will be translated
into EIX Units and  credited to the  Holder's  account  under the Plan as of the
first  business day of the second year of the Plan Award term  (Crediting  Date)
based on the  average  of the high and low  prices  of EIX  Common  Stock on the
Crediting Date as determined in accordance with 1(a) above..  The EIX Units will
be 25% vested as of the Crediting Date, and will continue to vest at the rate of
25% per year as provided under Section 2. The Holder's  account will be credited
thereafter  with any dividends  payable on a comparable  number of shares of EIX
Common Stock as of the quarterly ex-dividend date. Dividends so credited will be
translated  into  additional  EIX Units based on the closing price of EIX Common
Stock on that date as reported in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal
and will be credited with  dividends in subsequent  quarters.  Once vested,  the
Holder may elect  payment of the EIX Units in cash at any time.  If not  elected
sooner,  the EIX Units will be paid in cash to the Holder at the end of the Plan
Award term.

6. DELAYED PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF PLAN AWARD GAINS

Notwithstanding  the term of any Plan Award,  Holders who are  eligible to defer
salary under the EIX Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP) may irrevocably
elect to  alternatively  exercise  all or a portion  of any  vested  Plan  Award
pursuant to the Option Gain Deferral  Program (OGDP) in the case of EIX Options,
or the EDCP in the case of Dividend Equivalents or performance awards, and defer
gains that would  otherwise be realized upon exercise of the Plan Award. To make
such an election, the Holder must submit a signed alternative exercise agreement
in the form  approved  by the  Administrator  at least six  months  prior to the
expiration date of the Plan Award. The Plan Award may generally not be exercised
for six  months  thereafter.  Any  subsequent  exercises  will be subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions of the OGDP or the EDCP, as applicable.

7. TRANSFER AND BENEFICIARY

(a) The Plan Awards will not be transferable by the Holder.  During the lifetime
of the Holder, the Plan Award will be exercisable only by him or her. The Holder
may designate a beneficiary who, upon the death of the Holder,  will be entitled
to exercise the then vested  portion of the Plan Award during the remaining term
subject  to the  provisions  of the Plan and  these  terms and  conditions.  

(b)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Plan  Awards  of the CEOs of EIX,  Edison
Mission  Energy,  Edison  Capital  and Edison  Enterprises,  the COO of Southern
California Edison and the EVPs of EIX are transferable to a spouse,  children or
grandchildren,  or trusts or other vehicles  established  exclusively  for their
benefit.  Any transfer request must specifically be authorized by EIX in writing
and shall be subject to any  conditions,  restrictions  or  requirements  as the
administrator may determine.

8.  TERMINATION OF PLAN AWARDS

As set forth in Section 2(d), in the event of  termination  of the employment of
the Holder for any reason other than retirement,  permanent and total disability
or death of the Holder,  Plan Awards  will  terminate  180 days from the date on
which such employment  terminated,  or in the case of Affiliate Options,  at the
end of the first 60-day  exercise  period  following the employment  termination
date. In addition, the Plan Awards may be terminated if EIX elects to substitute
cash awards as provided under Section 12.

9. TAXES

EIX will have the right to retain and withhold  the amount of taxes  required by
any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and remitted with respect to
the exercise of any Plan Award. In its discretion, EIX may require the Holder to
reimburse EIX for any such taxes required to be withheld by EIX and may withhold
any  distribution  in  whole  or in part  until  EIX is so  reimbursed.  In lieu
thereof,  EIX will have the right to  withhold  from any other cash  amounts due
from EIX to the Holder an amount equal to such taxes  required to be withheld by
EIX to  reimburse  EIX for any such taxes or to retain and  withhold a number of
shares of EIX Common  Stock  having a market value equal to the taxes and cancel
(in whole or in part) the shares in order to reimburse EIX for the taxes.

Each  recipient  of an EIX Option must attach a statement  to his or her federal
and  state  tax  returns  for the  year in  which  the EIX  Option  was  granted
containing certain information specified in tax regulations.  A sample statement
is attached as Exhibit 1.

10. CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT

(a) Nothing in the award  certificate  or this Statement of Terms and Conditions
will be deemed to confer on the  Holder any right to  continue  in the employ of
EIX or an EIX  affiliate  or interfere in any way with the right of the employer
to terminate his or her employment at any time.

(b) In the  event  employment  is  terminated,  except  as a  result  of  death,
disability,   or  retirement  under  the  Southern   California  Edison  Company
Retirement  Plan, or a successor  plan,  whether  voluntarily or otherwise,  the
restrictions of Section 2(d) will apply.

11. NOTICE OF DISPOSITION OF SHARES

Holder agrees that if he or she should  dispose of any shares of stock  acquired
on the exercise of EIX Options,  including a disposition by sale, exchange, gift
or  transfer  of legal  title  within six months  from the date such  shares are
transferred  to the  Holder,  the  Holder  will  notify  EIX  promptly  of  such
disposition.

12. AMENDMENT

The Plan  Awards are  subject  to the terms of the Plan as amended  from time to
time. EIX reserves the right to substitute cash awards substantially  equivalent
in value to the Plan Awards.  If Holder  transfers to another company within the
EIX affiliated  group, any gain in value of any Performance  Awards held will be
frozen as of the next  valuation  date but the  Performance  Award  will  remain
exercisable  for its original  term.  An EIX Option award will be issued for the
remaining award term based on the Black-Scholes  valuation of the remaining term
of the Performance  Award and the  Black-Scholes  valuation of EIX options as of
the transfer date assuming a term equal to such remaining  term. The Plan Awards
may not otherwise be restricted or limited by any Plan  amendment or termination
approved after the date of the award without the Holder's consent.

13. FORCE AND EFFECT

The various provisions herein are severable in their entirety. Any determination
of invalidity or  unenforceability  of any one provision  will have no effect on
the continuing force and effect of the remaining provisions.

14. GOVERNING LAW

The terms and conditions of the Plan Awards will be construed  under the laws of
the State of California.

15. NOTICE

Unless waived by EIX, any notice  required  under or relating to the Plan Awards
must be in writing,  with postage prepaid,  addressed to: Edison  International,
Attn: Corporate Secretary, P.O. Box 800, Rosemead, CA 91770
