Arkansas), formerly Arkansas Power & Light Company, Entergy Gulf
States, Inc. (Entergy Gulf States), formerly Gulf States Utilities
Company, Entergy Louisiana, Inc. (Entergy Louisiana), formerly
Louisiana Power & Light Company, and System Energy Resources, Inc.
(System Energy) in the operations, but not ownership, of Arkansas
Nuclear One Steam Electric Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ANO),

Steam Electric Generating Station Unit No. 3 (Waterford 3), and Grand
Gulf Steam Electric Generating Station Unit 1 (Grand Gulf 1), subject
to Entergy Arkansas', Entergy Gulf States', Entergy Louisiana's, and

Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, System Energy and the other Grand Gulf
1 and River Bend co-owners retained their ownership interests in their
respective nuclear generating units. Further, Entergy Arkansas,
Entergy Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy retained
their associated capacity and energy entitlements and pay directly or
reimburse Entergy Operations for the costs associated with the
operation and maintenance of these units. Entergy Corporation entered
into separate guarantee agreements with Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf
States, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy whereby Entergy
Corporation guaranteed the financial ability of Entergy Operations to
meet its various financial obligations to Entergy Arkansas, Entergy
Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy under the operating
agreements, as long as Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States, Entergy
Louisiana, and System Energy continue to meet their payment
obligations to Entergy Operations under the applicable operating
agreements.
System of Accounts
Entergy Operations maintains its accounts in accordance with the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as administrated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and has adopted a system of
accounts consistent with the system prescribed by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications with no effect on
net income or shareholder's equity.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis at rates based
on the estimated service lives of the various classes of property.
Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on a straight-line
basis over the lease terms.
Income Taxes
Entergy Operations accounts for income taxes pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting For
Income Taxes" (FAS 109). This standard requires that deferred income
taxes be recorded for all temporary differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities, and loss carryforwards, and that deferred tax balances be
based on enacted tax laws at tax rates that are expected to be in
effect when the temporary differences reverse.
Entergy Operations joins its parent and the other Entergy
Corporation subsidiaries in filing a consolidated Federal income tax
return. Income taxes (or benefits) are allocated to Entergy
Operations in proportion to its contribution to consolidated taxable
income. SEC regulations require that neither Entergy Corporation nor
its affiliates pay more income taxes than it would have paid had a
separate income tax return been filed. In addition, Entergy
Operations files a consolidated Arkansas and combined Mississippi
income tax return with certain other Entergy Corporation subsidiaries.
Fair Value Disclosure
Entergy Operations considers the carrying amounts of financial
instruments classified as current assets and liabilities to be a
reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Entergy Operations considers all unrestricted highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of Entergy Operations' financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during fiscal years 1996, 1995, and
1994. Adjustments to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
may be necessary in the future to the extent that future estimates or
actual results are different from the estimates used in the 1996
financial statements.
NOTE 2. LINES OF CREDIT AND RELATED BORROWINGS
Entergy Operations has SEC authorization, through November 30,
2001, to effect short-term borrowings from Entergy Corporation in an
aggregate amount outstanding at any one time of up to $20 million
through a borrowing arrangement with interest rates based on a prime
rate. This borrowing arrangement was not used during 1996, 1995, or
1994.
Entergy Operations participates with certain other Entergy
Corporation subsidiaries in the System Money Pool (Money Pool), an
intra-system borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the dependence
on external short-term borrowings. As authorized by the SEC, the
borrowings by Entergy Operations from the Money Pool, combined with
any external borrowings, may not exceed the amount of the unused
portion of the borrowing arrangement discussed above.
The borrowings from the Money Pool and applicable interest rates
for 1996, 1995, and 1994 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1996 1995 1994

Average effective interest rate at end of year 5.9% 5.9% 6.1%
</TABLE>
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In connection with the Entergy Corporation-Entergy Gulf States
merger (Merger), which was consummated on December 31, 1993, Entergy
Gulf States filed two applications with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) in January 1993 to amend the River Bend operating
license. The applications sought the NRC's consent to the Merger and
to a change in the licensed operator of the facility from Entergy Gulf
States to Entergy Operations. The NRC Staff issued the two license
amendments for River Bend, which were effective immediately upon
consummation of the Merger. On February 14, 1994, Cajun Electric
Power Cooperative, Inc. (Cajun) filed with the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) petitions
for review of the two license amendments for River Bend. In March
1995, the D.C. Circuit ordered that the original NRC order and license
amendments be set aside, and remanded the case to the NRC for further
consideration. Subsequently, the NRC affirmed its original findings
and reissued the two license amendments. Cajun and the Arkansas
Cities and Cooperative filed petitions for review of those NRC orders
with the D.C. Circuit. Pursuant to an agreement setting forth terms
for the resolution of all pending disputes between the parties
approved by the United States District Court for the Middle District
of Louisiana on August 26, 1996, on an unopposed motion of the parties
to the proceedings before the D.C. Circuit, the D.C. Circuit ordered
that the cases be removed from the calendar for oral argument and held
in abeyance pending a further order of the court. The two license
amendments are currently in full force and effect.
NOTE 4. OPERATING LEASES
Upon formation of Entergy Operations, certain operating leases
were either assigned to Entergy Operations by System Energy or entered
into directly by Entergy Operations.
Total rental charges to expense for 1996, 1995, and 1994 were
approximately $9.4 million, $14.3 million, and $13.2 million,
respectively, of which approximately $6.1 million, $10.8 million, and
$9.5 million, respectively, related to rent expense associated
directly with Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States, Entergy
Louisiana, or System Energy leases and approximately $3.3 million,
$3.5 million, and $3.7 million, respectively, related to rent expense
associated with Entergy Operations leases discussed above. As of
December 31, 1996, Entergy Operations had non-cancelable operating
leases with future minimum rental commitments on building space as
follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee Benefit Plans
Certain key employees of Entergy Operations participate in the
Equity Ownership Plan of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries (Equity
Plan) in which they receive shares of common stock based upon
achievement of specified performance goals, the costs of which are
initially deferred and then charged to income over the restricted
period. At December 31, 1996, there were shares with a cost of $1.8
million included in Other Deferred Debits for Entergy Corporation
common stock purchased related to the Equity Plan. In 1996,
approximately $511,000 was charged to compensation expense under the
Equity Plan, representing 18,667 shares.
Employees of Entergy Operations are also eligible to participate
in the Savings Plan of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries (Savings
Plan) upon meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Savings Plan
provides that the employing Entergy subsidiary may make matching
contributions to the Savings Plan in an amount equal to 50 percent of
the participant's basic contribution. In 1996, 1995, and 1994,
Entergy Operations contributed $4.5 million, $4.6 million, and $3.9
million, respectively, to the Savings Plan.
Eligible employees of Entergy Operations may participate in the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
(ESOP). The ESOP is a defined contribution plan. Contributions to
the ESOP, and any income thereon, are invested in Entergy Corporation
common stock and are based on the expected utilization of additional
investment tax credits in the applicable Federal income tax return of
Entergy Corporation and its subsidiaries. There were no contributions
to the ESOP in the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
Eligible employees of Entergy Operations are provided pension and
certain health care and life insurance benefits upon retirement.
Substantially all employees may become eligible for these benefits if
they reach retirement age while still working for Entergy Operations.
Effective June 1990, System Energy employees became employees of
Entergy Operations. However, the employees still remained under
System Energy's postretirement benefit plans, and no transfers of
related liabilities and assets were made. Also, ANO and Waterford 3
employees who transferred to Entergy Operations in June 1990 remained
under Entergy Arkansas' and Entergy Louisiana's plans, and River Bend
employees who transferred to Entergy Operations in January 1994
remained under Entergy Gulf States' plans with no transfer of related
liabilities and assets.
The Retirement Plans of Entergy Corporation and its various
subsidiaries were amended to transfer assets and related liabilities
to a single Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan for all non-bargaining
employees effective January 1, 1995, and for all bargaining employees
effective December 31, 1996. The pension plans are noncontributory
and provide pension benefits that are based on employees' credited
service and compensation during the final years before retirement.
Entergy Corporation's policy is to fund pension costs in accordance
with contribution guidelines established by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 as amended. The assets of the plans include common and
preferred stocks, fixed income securities, interest in a money market
fund, and insurance contracts.
NOTE 6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Entergy Operations has been authorized, pursuant to certain
operating agreements, to act as an agent for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy
Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy in the operations,
but not ownership, of ANO, River Bend, Waterford 3, and Grand Gulf 1,
respectively. In return, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States,
Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy pay directly or reimburse Entergy
Operations for the costs associated with operating those units.
Entergy Operations receives, pursuant to a service agreement,
technical and advisory services from Entergy Services, Inc. These
services amounted to $35.4 million in 1996, $27.3 million in 1995,
and $27.5 million in 1994 with Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States,
Entergy Louisiana and System Energy reimbursing Entergy Operations for
their respective portions.
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided in recognition of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax
basis of assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards. Deferred
income tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following at
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994
Deferred Tax Assets:
Excess capital loss carryforward $ 403 $ 403 $ -
Severance reserve 16 385 -
Deferred compensation 573 184 329
Operating reserves 39 98 998
Other 2 8 20

Deferred Tax Liabilities:
Depreciation (176) (201) (213)
----- ----- ------
Net Deferred Tax Assets $ 857 $ 877 $1,134
===== ===== ======
The benefit associated with these deferred tax assets has been or
will be utilized in the Entergy Corporation consolidated return. The
ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets for Entergy
Operations is dependent upon the allocation of the tax benefit from
the Entergy Corporation consolidated return.
Entergy Operations' effective income tax rate was 100% in
1996, 1995, and 1994, compared to the current federal statutory income
tax rate of 35%. The income tax expense (benefit) for 1996, 1995,
and 1994 resulted primarily from non-deductible permanent items and
state income taxes. The provision for intercompany expense (benefit)
in lieu of federal income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996,
1995, and 1994 consisted of the following (in thousands):
