Schedule XIV - Notes To Financial Statements
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy Operations) is a nuclear
management service company wholly owned by Entergy Corporation.
Entergy Operations has been authorized to act as an agent in the
operations, but not ownership, of Arkansas Nuclear One Steam Electric
Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ANO), River Bend Steam Electric
Generating Station (River Bend), Waterford Steam Electric Generating
Station Unit No. 3 (Waterford 3), and Grand Gulf Steam Electric
Generating Station Unit 1 (Grand Gulf 1), subject to oversight by
Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Gulf States, Inc., Entergy Louisiana,
Inc., and System Energy Resources, Inc. (collectively, the Companies),
respectively. The Companies and the Grand Gulf 1 co-owner retained
their ownership interests, 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
the Companies whereby Entergy Corporation guaranteed the financial
ability of Entergy Operations to meet its various financial
obligations to the Companies under the operating agreements, as long
as the Companies 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.
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 the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.
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.
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,
which range from 5 to 15 years. 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" (SFAS 109). This standard requires that deferred income
taxes be recorded for all temporary differences between the financial
statement basis and tax basis of assets, liabilities, and loss
carryforwards. Temporary differences are recorded based on enacted tax
laws at tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the temporary
differences reverse.
13 OF 27 (2)
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
and a separate income tax return for Louisiana.
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.
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.
NOTE 2. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the
following at December 31, 1998 and 1997:
1998 1997

the Entergy Corporation consolidated return.
13 OF 27 (3)
Entergy Operations' effective income tax rate was 100% in 1998
and 1997 compared to the current federal statutory income tax rate of
35%. The primary reason for the difference between the effective and
statutory income tax rates is that Entergy Operations collects revenue
adequate to fund its income tax expense. The income tax expense for
1998 and 1997 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 years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 consisted of the following:

NOTE 3. LINES OF CREDIT AND RELATED SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Entergy Operations has SEC authorization, through November 30,
2001, to effect short-term borrowings from Entergy Corporation in an
aggregate amount of up to $20 million through a borrowing arrangement
with interest rates based on a prime rate. This borrowing arrangement
was not used during 1998 and 1997.
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 1998 and 1997 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
1998 1997
Average borrowing $12,827 $16,054
Maximum borrowing at month end $18,653 $19,511
Average effective interest rate during the year 5.7% 5.6%
Average effective interest rate at end of year 5.8% 6.3%

NOTE 4. OPERATING LEASES
Total rent expense for 1998 and 1997 was $10.0 million and $7.2
million, respectively. As of December 31, 1998, 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). The Equity Plan grants stock options, equity awards, and
incentive awards to key employees. The costs of equity and incentive
awards are charged to income over the period of the grant or
restricted period, as appropriate. Amounts charged to compensation
expense were $358,000 and $202,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. As
of December 31, 1998, there were shares with a cost of $174,000
included in Other Deferred Debits for Entergy Corporation common stock
purchased related to the Equity Plan.
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. Effective
December 31, 1997, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Entergy
Corporation and Subsidiaries (Entergy ESOP) and the Gulf States
Utilities Company Employees' Thrift Plan were merged into the Savings
Plan. Effective December 31, 1998, the Gulf States Utilities Company
Employee Stock ownership Plan was also merged into the Savings Plan
due to the utilization of all available tax credits. Subsequent to
these mergers, the Savings Plan constitutes two plans: a Profit
Sharing Plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Savings Plan
is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees of Entergy
and its subsidiaries who have completed certain service requirements.
Entergy's subsidiaries' contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan and
voluntary participant contributions to the ESOP, and any income
thereon, are invested in shares of Entergy Corporation common stock.
The Profit Sharing Plan provides that the employing Entergy
subsidiary may make matching contributions to the plan in an amount
equal to 50% of the participant's basic contribution, up to 6% of
their salary, in shares of Entergy Corporation common stock. Entergy
Operations contributed $4.8 million in 1998 and $4.5 million in 1997
to the Profit Sharing Plan.
13 OF 27 (5)
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.
In 1998 prior to the merger of the GSU ESOP into the Savings Plan,
Entergy Gulf States contributed $7.7 million based on the remaining
unutilized investment tax credits. There were no contributions to the
GSU ESOP in 1997. No additional investment tax credits are available
for contribution under the GSU ESOP or the Entergy ESOP. Therefore,
management does not expect to make any future contributions to the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan within the Savings Plan.
Retirement and Other 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 working for Entergy Operations.
Eligible employees of Entergy Operations participate in the
Entergy Corporation retirement plans. Entergy Corporation has two
retirement benefit plans, "Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan for Non-
Bargaining Employees" and "Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan for
Bargaining Employees", covering substantially all of its domestic
employees. 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 and its subsidiaries 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.
The pension and other postretirement obligations of Grand Gulf 1
and Entergy Operations headquarters' employees are reflected in the
financial statements of Entergy Operations.
Total 1998 and 1997 pension and other postretirement costs for
Entergy Operations - Grand Gulf 1 and headquarters' employees,
including capitalized amounts, included the following components (in
thousands):

The significant assumptions used in computing the pension and
other postretirement information above were as follows:
1998 1997
Weighted-average discount rate 6.75% 7.25%
Weighted-average rate of increase in future compensation levels 4.6% 4.6%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 9.0% 9.0%
The pension transition asset is being amortized over the greater
of the remaining service period or 15 years. The other postretirement
benefits transition obligation is being amortized over 20 years.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
other postretirement benefits' APBO was 6.0% for 1999, gradually
decreasing each successive year until it reaches 5.0% in 2006. A one
percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate
for 1998 would have increased the APBO by $1,248,000 and increased the
sum of the service cost and interest cost by $250,000. A one
percentage-point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate
for 1998 would have decreased the APBO by $1,025,000 and increased the
sum of the service cost and interest cost by $201,000.
