Entergy operates primarily through two business segments: Utility and Non-Utility Nuclear.

• Utility generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electric power in a four-state service territory that includes portions of Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana, including the City of New Orleans; and operates a small natural gas distribution business.
• Non-Utility Nuclear owns and operates six nuclear power plants located in the northern United States and sells the electric power produced by those plants primarily to wholesale customers. This business also provides services to other nuclear power plant owners.

In addition to its two primary, reportable, operating segments, Entergy also operates the non-nuclear wholesale assets business. The non-nuclear wholesale assets business sells to wholesale customers the electric power produced by power plants that it owns while it focuses on improving performance and exploring sales or restructuring opportunities for its power plants.

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which in August and September 2005 caused catastrophic damage to portions of the Utility's service territory in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, including the effect of extensive flooding that resulted from levee breaks in and around the greater New Orleans area. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of updates in Entergy Gulf States', Entergy Louisiana's, and Entergy Mississippi's storm cost recovery proceedings.

Entergy reached an agreement with one of its excess insurers under which Entergy received $69.5 million in the second quarter 2007 in settlement of its Hurricane Katrina claim with that insurer. Entergy has received a total of $134.5 million as of June 30, 2007 on its Hurricanes Katrina and Rita insurance claims, including $83.1 million in 2007. Refer to Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of Entergy's non-nuclear property insurance coverage.

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of the Katrina Relief Bill, a hurricane aid package that includes $11.5 billion in Community Development Block Grants (for the states affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma) that allows state and local leaders to fund individual recovery priorities.

In March 2007, the City Council certified that Entergy New Orleans has incurred $205 million in storm-related costs through December 2006 that are eligible for CDBG funding under the state action plan, and certified Entergy New Orleans' estimated costs of $465 million for the gas system rebuild. In April 2007, Entergy New Orleans executed an agreement with the Louisiana Office of Community Development under which $200 million of CDBG funds will be made available to Entergy New Orleans. Entergy New Orleans submitted the agreement to the bankruptcy court, which approved it on April 25, 2007. Entergy New Orleans has received $176.8 million of the funds as of June 30, 2007, and the remainder will be paid to Entergy New Orleans as it incurs and submits additional eligible costs.

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of the Entergy New Orleans bankruptcy proceeding. On May 7, 2007, the bankruptcy judge entered an order confirming Entergy New Orleans' plan of reorganization. With the receipt of CDBG funds, and the agreement on insurance recovery with one of its excess insurers, Entergy New Orleans waived the conditions precedent in its plan of reorganization, and the plan became effective on May 8, 2007.

Following are significant terms in Entergy New Orleans' plan of reorganization:

• Entergy New Orleans paid in full, in cash, the allowed third-party prepetition accounts payable (approximately $29 million, including interest). Entergy New Orleans paid interest from September 23, 2005 at the Louisiana judicial rate of interest for 2005 (6%) and 2006 (8%), and at the Louisiana judicial rate of interest plus 1% for 2007. The Louisiana judicial rate of interest for 2007 is 9.5%.
• Entergy New Orleans issued notes due in three years in satisfaction of its affiliate prepetition accounts payable (approximately $74 million, including interest), including its indebtedness to the Entergy System money pool. Entergy New Orleans included in the principal amount of the notes accrued interest from September 23, 2005 at the Louisiana judicial rate of interest for 2005 (6%) and 2006 (8%), and at the Louisiana judicial rate of interest plus 1% for 2007 through the date of issuance of the notes. The Louisiana judicial rate of interest is 9.5% for 2007. Entergy New Orleans will pay interest on the notes from their date of issuance at the Louisiana judicial rate of interest plus 1%.
• Entergy New Orleans repaid to Entergy Corporation, in full, in cash, the outstanding borrowings under the debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit agreement (approximately $67 million).
• Entergy New Orleans' first mortgage bonds will remain outstanding with their current maturity dates and interest terms. Pursuant to an agreement with the first mortgage bondholders, Entergy New Orleans paid the first mortgage bondholders an amount equal to the one year of interest from the bankruptcy petition date that the bondholders had waived previously in the bankruptcy proceeding (approximately $12 million).
• Entergy New Orleans' preferred stock will remain outstanding on its current dividend terms, and Entergy New Orleans paid its unpaid preferred dividends in arrears (approximately $1 million).
• Litigation claims will generally be unaltered, and will generally proceed as if Entergy New Orleans had not filed for bankruptcy protection, with exceptions for certain claims.

With confirmation of the plan of reorganization, Entergy has reconsolidated Entergy New Orleans in the second quarter 2007, retroactive to January 1, 2007. Because Entergy owns all of the common stock of Entergy New Orleans, reconsolidation does not affect the amount of net income that Entergy recorded from Entergy New Orleans' operations for the current or prior period, but does result in Entergy New Orleans' financial results being included in each individual income statement line item in 2007, rather than only its net income being presented as "Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated equity affiliates," as will remain the case for 2005 and 2006.

Following are income statement variances for Utility, Non-Utility Nuclear, Parent & Other, and Entergy comparing the second quarter 2007 to the second quarter 2006 showing how much the line item increased or (decreased) in comparison to the prior period:

Refer to "ENTERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - SELECTED OPERATING RESULTS" for further information with respect to operating statistics.

6

As discussed above, Entergy New Orleans has been reconsolidated retroactive to January 1, 2007 and its results are included in each individual income statement line item for 2007. The variance explanations for the Utility for the second quarter 2007 compared to the second quarter 2006 in "Results of Operations" below reflect the 2006 results of operations of Entergy New Orleans as if it were reconsolidated in 2006, consistent with the 2007 presentation including the results in each individual income statement line item. Entergy's as-reported results for 2006, which had Entergy New Orleans deconsolidated, and the amounts needed to reconsolidate Entergy New Orleans, which include inter-company items, are set forth in the table below.

Utility

Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2006.

7

The base revenues variance resulted from rate increases primarily at Entergy Louisiana effective September 2006 for the 2005 formula rate plan filing to recover LPSC-approved incremental deferred and ongoing purchased power capacity costs and for the interim recovery of storm costs. The formula rate plan filing is discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

The fuel recovery variance is due to the inclusion of Grand Gulf costs in Entergy New Orleans' fuel recoveries effective July 1, 2006. In June 2006, the City Council approved the recovery of Grand Gulf costs through the fuel adjustment clause, without a corresponding change in base rates (a significant portion of Grand Gulf costs was previously recovered through base rates).

The transmission revenue variance is due to an increase in rates effective June 2006 and the addition of new transmission customers in 2006.

The pass-through rider revenue variance is due to a change in 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues in Arkansas as directed by the APSC. The change results in an increase in rider revenue with a corresponding increase in taxes other than income taxes, resulting in no effect on net income.

The purchased power capacity variance is due to higher capacity charges. A portion of the variance is due to the amortization of deferred capacity costs and is offset in base revenues due to base rate increases implemented to recover incremental deferred and ongoing purchased power capacity charges at Entergy Louisiana, as discussed above.

The net wholesale revenue variance is due to more energy available for resale at Entergy New Orleans in 2006 due to the decrease in retail usage caused by customer losses following Hurricane Katrina. In addition, 2006 revenue includes the sales into the wholesale market of Entergy New Orleans' share of the output of Grand Gulf, pursuant to City Council approval of measures proposed by Entergy New Orleans to address the reduction in Entergy New Orleans' retail customer usage caused by Hurricane Katrina and to provide revenue support for the costs of Entergy New Orleans' share of Grand Gulf.

Non-Utility Nuclear

Net revenue increased for Non-Utility Nuclear primarily due to higher pricing in its contracts to sell power and additional production available resulting from the acquisition of the Palisades plant in April 2007. The increase was partially offset by the effect on revenues of two refueling outages in the second quarter of 2007 and an extended unplanned outage at a plant compared to one refueling outage in the second quarter of 2006. Following are key performance measures for Non-Utility Nuclear for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006:

Parent & Other

Net revenue decreased for Parent & Other primarily due to the $14.1 million gain ($8.6 million net-of-tax) realized on the sale of the non-nuclear wholesale asset business's remaining interest in a power development project in the second quarter of 2006. Also contributing to the decrease were higher natural gas prices in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as well as lower production as a result of an additional plant outage in the second quarter 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. A substantial portion of the effect on net income of this decline is offset by a related decrease in other operation and maintenance expenses.

Utility

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased from $419 million for the second quarter of 2006 to $461 million for the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to:

Non-Utility Nuclear

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased from $155 million for the second quarter of 2006 to $175 million for the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to the acquisition of the Palisades plant in April 2007.

Taxes other than income taxes increased for the Utility from $84 million for the second quarter of 2006 to $97 million for the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to an increase of $9 million in city franchise taxes in Arkansas due to a change in August 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues as directed by the APSC. The change results in an increase in taxes other than income taxes with a corresponding increase in rider revenue, resulting in no effect on net income.

Interest charges increased for Parent & Other primarily due to additional borrowings on Entergy Corporation's revolving credit facilities.

9

Following are income statement variances for Utility, Non-Utility Nuclear, Parent & Other, and Entergy comparing the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the six months ended June 30, 2006 showing how much the line item increased or (decreased) in comparison to the prior period:

Refer to "ENTERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - SELECTED OPERATING RESULTS" for further information with respect to operating statistics.

10

The variance explanations for the Utility for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 in "Results of Operations" below reflect the 2006 results of operations of Entergy New Orleans as if it were reconsolidated in 2006, consistent with the 2007 presentation including the results in each individual income statement line item. Entergy's as-reported results for 2006, which had Entergy New Orleans deconsolidated, and the amounts needed to reconsolidate Entergy New Orleans, which include inter-company items, are set forth in the table below.

Utility

Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The base revenues variance resulted from rate increases primarily at Entergy Louisiana effective September 2006 for the 2005 formula rate plan filing to recover LPSC-approved incremental deferred and ongoing purchased power capacity costs and for the interim recovery of storm costs. The formula rate plan filing is discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

The pass-through rider revenue variance is due primarily to a change in 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues in Arkansas as directed by the APSC. The change results in an increase in rider revenue with a corresponding increase in taxes other than income taxes, resulting in no effect on net income.

The transmission revenue variance is due to an increase in rates effective June 2006 and the addition of new transmission customers in 2006.

The fuel recovery variance is due to the inclusion of Grand Gulf costs in Entergy New Orleans' fuel recoveries effective July 1, 2006. In June 2006, the City Council approved the recovery of Grand Gulf costs through the fuel adjustment clause, without a corresponding change in base rates (a significant portion of Grand Gulf costs was previously recovered through base rates). The fuel recovery variance is partially offset by adjustments of fuel clause recoveries in the first quarter of 2006 in Entergy Gulf States' Louisiana jurisdiction and a reserve for potential rate refunds in the first quarter of 2007 in Entergy Gulf States' Texas jurisdiction as a result of a PUCT ruling related to the application of past PUCT rulings addressing transition to competition in Texas, both of which have unfavorable effects on net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The net wholesale revenue variance is due primarily to 1) more energy available for resale at Entergy New Orleans in 2006 due to the decrease in retail usage caused by customer losses following Hurricane Katrina, 2) the inclusion in 2006 revenue of sales into the wholesale market of Entergy New Orleans' share of the output of Grand Gulf, pursuant to City Council approval of measures proposed by Entergy New Orleans to address the reduction in Entergy New Orleans' retail customer usage caused by Hurricane Katrina and to provide revenue support for the costs of Entergy New Orleans' share of Grand Gulf, and 3) decreased results from wholesale contracts and lower wholesale prices.

The purchased power capacity variance is due to higher capacity charges and new purchased power contracts that began in mid-2006. A portion of the variance is due to the amortization of deferred capacity costs and is offset in base revenues due to base rate increases implemented to recover incremental deferred and ongoing purchased power capacity charges at Entergy Louisiana, as discussed above.

Non-Utility Nuclear

Net revenue increased for Non-Utility Nuclear primarily due to higher pricing in its contracts to sell power and additional production available resulting from the acquisition of the Palisades plant in April 2007. The increase was partially offset by the effect on 2007 revenues of three refueling outages and an extended unplanned outage at a plant compared to one refueling outage in the same period in 2006. Following are key performance measures for Non-Utility Nuclear for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Parent & Other

Net revenue decreased for Parent & Other primarily due to the $14.1 million gain ($8.6 million net-of-tax) realized on the sale of the non-nuclear wholesale asset business' remaining interest in a power development project in the second quarter of 2006. Also contributing to the decrease were higher natural gas prices in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as well as lower production as a result of an additional plant outage in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. A substantial portion of the effect on net income of this decline is offset by a related decrease in other operation and maintenance expenses.

Utility

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased from $793 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $870 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to:

• an increase of $25 million in distribution expenses, including higher labor and contract costs, ongoing as well as timing increases in vegetation maintenance costs, and the return to normal operations work in 2007 versus storm restoration activities in 2006 as a result of the hurricanes;
• an increase of $16 million in transmission expenses, including transmission line and substation maintenance and independent coordinator of transmission expenses;
• an increase of $15 million in nuclear expenses primarily due to non-refueling outages, refueling outage preparation costs, increased nuclear labor and contract costs, and higher NRC fees;
• an increase of $6 million in fossil plant expenses due to the return to normal operations work in 2007 versus storm restoration activities in 2006 as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and differing outage schedules and scopes from 2006 to 2007; and
• an increase of $5 million as a result of higher insurance premiums due to amending coverage in mid-2006 in addition to the timing of premium payments compared to 2006.

Utility

Taxes other than income taxes increased from $178 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $199 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase of $15 million in city franchise taxes in Arkansas due to a change in August 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues as directed by the APSC. The change results in an increase in taxes other than income taxes with a corresponding increase in rider revenue, resulting in no effect on net income.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $399 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $423 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in plant in service and a revision made in the first quarter of 2006 of estimated depreciable lives involving certain intangible assets.

Other income increased from $64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $83 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to carrying charges on storm costs.

13

Utility

Interest and other charges increased from $188.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $203.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the following:

• interest on first mortgage bonds primarily at Entergy New Orleans. On September 23, 2006, when the one-year interest moratorium agreed to by the bondholders expired, Entergy New Orleans resumed interest accruals on its outstanding first mortgage bonds;
• interest on Entergy New Orleans' third-party accounts payable pursuant to its plan of reorganization, as discussed above under "Hurricanes Katrina and Rita"; and
• interest of $6.7 million recorded on advances from independent power producers per a FERC order.

Parent & Other

Interest charges increased primarily due to additional borrowings under Entergy Corporation's revolving credit facilities.

See "MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy's capital structure, capital expenditure plans and other uses of capital, and sources of capital. Following are updates to that discussion.

Entergy's capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital percentage from 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of additional borrowings under Entergy Corporation's revolving credit facilities, along with a decrease in shareholders' equity primarily due to repurchases of common stock.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of notes payable, capital lease obligations, preferred stock with sinking fund, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt, common shareholders' equity, and preferred stock without sinking fund. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy's financial condition.

14

As discussed in the Form 10-K, Entergy Corporation had in place as of June 30, 2007, two separate revolving credit facilities, a five-year credit facility and a three-year credit facility. The five-year credit facility expires in May 2010 and the three-year facility expires in December 2008. Entergy Corporation also has the ability to issue letters of credit against the total borrowing capacity of both the three-year and the five-year credit facilities. Following is a summary of the borrowings outstanding and capacity available under these facilities as of June 30, 2007:

On August 2, 2007, Entergy Corporation entered into a new, $3.5 billion credit facility, and terminated the two previously existing facilities. See Part II, Item 5 herein for additional information on the new credit facility, including the amounts of the borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of August 8, 2007.

See Note 4 to the financial statements for additional discussion of Entergy's credit facilities.

See the table in the Form 10-K under "MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Expenditure Plans and Other Uses of Capital," which sets forth the amounts of planned construction and other capital investments by operating segment for 2007 through 2009.

In April 2007, Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business purchased the 798 MW Palisades nuclear energy plant located near South Haven, Michigan from Consumers Energy Company for a net cash payment of $336 million. Entergy received the plant, nuclear fuel, inventories, and other assets. The liability to decommission the plant, as well as related decommissioning trust funds, was also transferred to Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business. Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business executed a unit-contingent, 15-year purchased power agreement (PPA) with Consumers Energy for 100% of the plant's output, excluding any future uprates. Prices under the PPA range from $43.50/MWh in 2007 to $61.50/MWh in 2022, and the average price under the PPA is $51/MWh. In the first quarter 2007, the NRC renewed Palisades' operating license until 2031. Also as part of the transaction, Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business assumed responsibility for spent fuel at the decommissioned Big Rock Point nuclear plant, which is located near Charlevoix, Michigan.  Palisades' financial results since April 2007 are included in Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business segment. See Note 5 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of the purchase price allocation and the amortization to revenue of the below-market PPA.

In April 2007, Entergy Louisiana announced that it plans to pursue the self-build solid fuel repowering of a 538 MW unit at its Little Gypsy plant.  Petroleum coke will be the unit's primary fuel source.  In July 2007, Entergy Louisiana filed with the LPSC for approval of the repowering project, and stated that it expects to spend $1.55 billion on the project. In addition to seeking a finding that the project is in the public interest, the filing with the LPSC asks that Entergy Louisiana be allowed to recover a portion of the project's financing costs during the construction period. Entergy Louisiana expects the project to be completed in 2011-2012. The planned capital investment estimate in the Form 10-K included capital required for a project of this type, although Entergy Louisiana now expects to spend approximately $100 million more through 2009 than the amounts included in the Form 10-K for the project.

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of the Entergy New Orleans debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility between Entergy New Orleans as borrower and Entergy Corporation as lender. Pursuant to the terms of its plan of reorganization, which became effective in May 2007, Entergy New Orleans fully repaid its DIP credit facility borrowings.

As shown in Entergy's Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Entergy's cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by $516 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Following are cash flows from operating activities by segment:

• Utility provided $764 million in cash from operating activities in 2007 compared to providing $1,088 million in 2006, primarily due to decreased collection of fuel costs, the catch-up in receivable collections in 2006 due to delays caused by the hurricanes in 2005, the receipt of an income tax refund in 2006 compared to income tax payments being made in 2007, partially offset by the receipt of $177 million of Community Development Block Grant funds by Entergy New Orleans in 2007 and significant storm restoration spending in 2006. A $344 million income tax refund was received by Entergy Corporation in 2006 (including $71 million attributable to Entergy New Orleans) as a result of net operating loss carry back provisions contained in the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. In accordance with Entergy's intercompany tax allocation agreement, $273 million of the refund was distributed to the Utility business in April 2006, with most of the remainder distributed to Non-Utility Nuclear.
• Non-Utility Nuclear provided $259 million in cash from operating activities in 2007 compared to providing $473 million in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the receipt of income tax refunds in 2006 compared to income tax payments being made in 2007. An increase in cash flow attributable to higher net revenue was substantially offset by spending associated with three refueling outages in 2007 compared to one in 2006.
• Parent & Other used $59 million in cash from operating activities in 2007 compared to $81 million in 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The following activity is notable in comparing the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the six months ended June 30, 2006:

• Construction expenditures were $235 million lower in 2007 than in 2006, primarily due to storm restoration expenditures in the Utility in 2006.
• Non-Utility Nuclear purchased the Palisades power plant in April 2007.
• Entergy Mississippi purchased the Attala power plant in January 2006.
• Insurance proceeds received increased by $72 million in 2007 because of payments received on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita claims.
• In 2006 Entergy received proceeds from the sale of the retail electric portion of the Competitive Retail Services business operating in the ERCOT region of Texas and the sale of the non-nuclear wholesale asset business' remaining interest in a power development project.

Financing activities provided $339 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to using $279 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The following activity is notable in comparing the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the six months ended June 30, 2006:

• Entergy Corporation increased the net borrowings under its credit facilities by $1,150 million in 2007, compared to increasing the net borrowings under its credit facilities by $20 million in 2006. See Note 4 to the financial statements for a description of the Entergy Corporation credit facilities.
• A subsidiary of Entergy Gulf States issued $329.5 million of securitization bonds in June 2007. See Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information regarding the securitization bonds.
• Entergy Mississippi redeemed $100 million of first mortgage bonds in 2007 and issued $100 million of first mortgage bonds in 2006.
• Entergy Corporation repurchased $825 million of its common stock in 2007, and did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in 2006.
• Entergy Louisiana Holdings, Inc. redeemed all $100.5 million of its outstanding preferred stock in June 2006.

Several parties intervened in the proceeding at the FERC, including the APSC, the MPSC, the Council, and the LPSC, which have also filed protests. The APSC, the MPSC, and the Council asked the FERC to confirm that the FERC did not intend to preempt a retail regulator from undertaking an independent prudence review of the production costs in setting retail rates, or ask the FERC to set the rough production cost equalization payments/receipts for hearing to allow the retail regulators the opportunity to evaluate the prudence of the underlying production costs. In July 2007, the FERC accepted the proposed rates for filing, allowed them to go into effect as of June 1, 2007, subject to refund, and set the filing, including the calculation and underlying production costs, for hearing and settlement procedures. Additionally, the Utility operating companies had filed with the FERC proposing certain modifications to the rough production cost equalization calculation. The FERC rejected certain of the proposed modifications, accepted certain of the proposed modifications without further proceedings, and set two of the proposed modifications for hearing and settlement proceedings.

Entergy Arkansas will pay $36 million per month for seven months, and began making the payments in June 2007. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the APSC has approved through December 31, 2008 a production cost allocation rider for recovery from customers of the retail portion of the costs allocated to Entergy Arkansas.

On April 27, 2007, the FERC denied the requests for rehearing filed regarding the Utility operating companies' compliance filing to implement the System Agreement decision, with one exception regarding the issue of retrospective refunds. That issue will be addressed subsequent to the remanded proceeding involving the interruptible load decision discussed in the paragraph below. The period for appeal of the April 27 decision expired in June 2007. The LPSC appealed to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals the denial of rehearing, and the Utility operating companies and the APSC intervened in that appeal.

Based on the FERC's April 27 order on rehearing, Entergy Arkansas recorded accounts payable and Entergy Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy Mississippi recorded accounts receivable to reflect the rough production cost equalization payments and receipts required to implement the FERC's remedy for calendar year 2006 production costs that FERC accepted for filing and allowed to go into effect in June 2007. Entergy Arkansas recorded a corresponding regulatory asset for its right to collect the payments from its customers and Entergy Gulf States, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy Mississippi recorded corresponding regulatory liabilities for their obligations to give the receipts to their customers. The regulatory asset and liabilities are shown as "System Agreement cost equalization" on the respective balance sheets. The liabilities and assets for the payments and receipts that may be required to implement the FERC's remedy for calendar year 2007 production costs will be recorded after additional information becomes available during the second half of 2007. The FERC's remedy is based on annual production costs which cannot be accurately estimated at this time.  The level of any payments and receipts is significantly affected by a number of factors, including, among others, weather, the price of alternative fuels, the operating characteristics of the System's generating fleet, and multiple factors affecting the calculation of the non-fuel related revenue requirement components of the total production costs, such as plant investment.

On April 3, 2007, the LPSC filed a complaint with the FERC in which it sought to have the FERC order the following modifications to Entergy's rough production costs equalization calculation: (1) elimination of interruptible loads from the methodology used to allocate demand-related capacity costs; and (2) change of the method used to re-price energy from the Vidalia hydroelectric project for purposes of calculating production cost disparities. Entergy filed an intervention and protest in this proceeding. In May 2007 the FERC denied the LPSC's complaint. The LPSC has requested rehearing.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2006 the APSC filed a complaint at the FERC that states, "the purpose of the complaint is to institute an investigation into the prudence of Entergy's practices affecting the wholesale rates that flow through its System Agreement." In June 2007 the FERC denied the APSC's complaint on the basis that it was premature. The FERC found that the annual rough production cost equalization filing is the appropriate proceeding for the retail regulators to raise prudence issues. Regarding transmission, the FERC found that it has recently implemented reforms related to transmission. If those reforms are inadequate to address the APSC's concerns, then it can renew its complaint. The APSC, the MPSC, and the Council have asked for rehearing or clarification of this order to confirm that the FERC did not intend to preempt a retail regulator from undertaking an independent prudence review of the production costs in setting retail rates.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, on December 18, 2006, the LPSC filed a complaint requesting the FERC "immediately institute a proceeding to determine whether, and on what terms, [Entergy Arkansas] may withdraw" from the System Agreement. In June 2007 the FERC denied the LPSC's complaint on the basis that it was premature. The FERC's order indicates that the FERC will evaluate at the time of Entergy Arkansas' departure whether "the System Agreement will remain just and reasonable for the remaining members .... and likewise that any new Entergy Arkansas jurisdictional wholesale arrangements will be just and reasonable." The FERC Order goes on to state that "in light of the history and nature of the existing members' planning and operation of their facilities under the System Agreement, it is possible it may ultimately be appropriate to require transition measures or other conditions to ensure just and reasonable wholesale rates and services" upon the termination of Entergy Arkansas' participation in the current System Agreement.

On April 3, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued its opinion in the LPSC's appeal of the FERC's March 2004 and April 2005 orders related to the treatment under the System Agreement of the Utility operating companies' interruptible loads.  In its opinion, the D.C. Circuit concluded that the FERC (1) acted arbitrarily and capriciously by allowing the Utility operating companies to phase-in the effects of the elimination of the interruptible load over a 12-month period of time; (2) failed to adequately explain why refunds could not be ordered under Section 206(c) of the Federal Power Act; and (3) exercised appropriately its discretion to defer addressing the cost of sulfur dioxide allowances until a later time.  The D.C. Circuit remanded the matter to the FERC for a more considered determination on the issue of refunds.

In conjunction with the recent application of Entergy Gulf States and Calcasieu Power, LLC seeking FERC approval of Entergy Gulf States' acquisition of the Calcasieu Generating Facility, the Utility operating companies filed a Petition for Declaratory Order requesting that the FERC find either (1) that in those circumstances where a resource to be acquired or constructed has been determined by Entergy's Operating Committee to be a resource devoted to serving Entergy System load and has been approved by the applicable retail regulator, the cost of such resource shall be reflected in the rough production cost equalization calculation; or (2) that Entergy Gulf States' acquisition of the Calcasieu facility is prudent and the costs are properly reflected in the rough production cost equalization calculation.  The APSC, LPSC, MPSC, City Council, and several other parties intervened in the proceeding, with the APSC, LPSC, and City Council filing protests.  In July 2007 the FERC denied the application for a declaratory order. The FERC concluded that (1) the circumstances surrounding resource acquisition on the Entergy System were not of sufficient "local interest" to warrant the FERC deferring to the findings of the applicable regulator; and (2) with respect to the alternative request for relief, consistent with its prior precedent, the FERC would not "entertain the issue of the prudence of a purchase until such time as the purchaser passes on the cost of the purchase to its customers."

In May 2007 the FERC denied the requests for rehearing of its October 2006 order. In June 2007, the Utility operating companies made their compliance filing pursuant to the FERC's order denying rehearing.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in the FERC's April 2006 order approving Entergy's ICT proposal, the FERC stated that the weekly procurement process (WPP) must be operational within approximately 14 months of the FERC order, or June 24, 2007, or the FERC may reevaluate all approvals to proceed with the ICT.  The Utility operating companies have been working with the ICT and a software vendor to develop the software and systems necessary to implement the WPP. The Utility operating companies also filed with the FERC on April 24, 2007 a request to make certain corrections and limited modifications to the current WPP tariff provisions. On June 8, 2007, the Utility operating companies filed a status report with the FERC notifying the FERC that, due to unexpected issues with the development of the WPP software and testing, the WPP would not be operational by June 24, but instead is currently expected to be operational no later than September 24, 2007. The Utility operating companies committed to notify the FERC of the actual implementation date at least one week prior to commencing WPP operations.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2006 the Utility operating companies had filed revisions to their Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT") to establish a mechanism to recover from their wholesale transmission customers the (1) costs incurred to develop or join a regional transmission organization and to develop the ICT; and (2) the on-going costs that will be incurred under the ICT agreements. In December 2006 the FERC accepted the proposed provisions for filing and set them for hearing and settlement procedures. In June 2007 the Utility operating companies reached a settlement-in-principle with the parties to the proceeding and expect to file the settlement with the FERC in August 2007.

In accordance with the provisions of the FERC order approving the ICT, during the first and second quarters of 2007 the Utility operating companies notified the FERC, the ICT, and the stakeholders that certain instances had been identified in which software errors related to the AFC process had resulted in the reporting of inaccurate data.  Following the reporting of the initial errors, certain market participants urged the FERC to move forward with the AFC hearing process in light of those errors.  In April 2007, the FERC issued an order terminating the AFC hearing, now that Entergy's ICT has been installed.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in May 2005, the FERC instituted a proceeding under Section 206 of the FPA to investigate whether Entergy satisfies the FERC's transmission market power and affiliate abuse/reciprocal dealing standards for the granting of market-based rate authority, and established a refund effective date pursuant to the provisions of Section 206, for purposes of the additional issues set for hearing.  The FERC decided to hold that investigation in abeyance, however, pending the outcomes of the ICT proceedings and Entergy's affiliate purchased power agreements proceeding. In June 2005, Entergy sought rehearing of the May order instituting the proceeding. The FERC terminated the Section 206 proceeding in May 2007 and dismissed Entergy's request for rehearing as moot. The FERC found that there was no further need for the proceeding.

Power Generation

As discussed more fully in the Form 10-K, the sale of electricity from the power generation plants owned by Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business, unless otherwise contracted, is subject to the variability of market power prices. Following is an updated summary of the amount of Non-Utility Nuclear's output that is sold forward as of June 30, 2007 under physical or financial contracts (2007 represents the remaining two quarters of the year):

The Vermont Yankee acquisition included a 10-year PPA under which the former owners will buy the power produced by the plant through the expiration in 2012 of the current operating license for the plant. The PPA includes an adjustment clause under which the prices specified in the PPA will be adjusted downward monthly if power market prices drop below PPA prices, which has not happened thus far and is not expected in the foreseeable future.

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of Non-Utility Nuclear's value sharing agreements with NYPA involving energy sales from the Fitzpatrick and Indian Point 3 power plants. Non-Utility Nuclear calculated that $0 was owed to NYPA for 2005 under the value sharing agreements. In November 2006 NYPA filed a demand for arbitration claiming that $90.5 million was due to NYPA for 2005 under these agreements. Non-Utility Nuclear filed a motion in New York state court to determine whether NYPA's claim should be decided by a court as opposed to an arbitrator. In February 2007, the court issued an order denying Non-Utility Nuclear's request, and NYPA's claim is now in arbitration. Non-Utility Nuclear has also calculated that $0 was owed to NYPA for 2006 under the value sharing agreements. In April 2007 NYPA filed an amended demand for arbitration claiming that an additional $54 million was due to NYPA for 2006 under the value sharing agreements. With respect to both of these claims, Non-Utility Nuclear disagrees with NYPA's interpretation of the value sharing agreements, believes it has meritorious defenses to NYPA's claims, and intends to defend against those claims vigorously. Arbitration hearings were held in July 2007, and the arbitrator's decision is pending.

Some of the agreements to sell the power produced by Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear power plants contain provisions that require an Entergy subsidiary to provide collateral to secure its obligations under the agreements. The Entergy subsidiary is required to provide collateral based upon the difference between the current market and contracted power prices in the regions where Non-Utility Nuclear sells power. The primary form of collateral to satisfy these requirements is an Entergy Corporation guaranty.  Cash and letters of credit are also acceptable forms of collateral.  At June 30, 2007, based on power prices at that time, Entergy had in place as collateral $808 million of Entergy Corporation guarantees for wholesale transactions, including $73 million of guarantees that support letters of credit. The assurance requirement associated with Non-Utility Nuclear is estimated to increase by an amount of up to $343 million if gas prices increase $1 per MMBtu in both the short- and long-term markets. In the event of a decrease in Entergy Corporation's credit rating to below investment grade, Entergy will be required to replace Entergy Corporation guarantees with cash or letters of credit under some of the agreements.

In addition to selling the power produced by its plants, the Non-Utility Nuclear business sells installed capacity to load-serving distribution companies in order for those companies to meet requirements placed on them by the ISO in their area. Following is a summary of the amount of the Non-Utility Nuclear business' installed capacity that is currently sold forward, and the blended amount of the Non-Utility Nuclear business' planned generation output and installed capacity that is currently sold forward as of June 30, 2007 (2007 represents the remaining two quarters of the year):

As of June 30, 2007, approximately 97% of Non-Utility Nuclear's counterparty exposure from energy and capacity contracts is with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings.

On July 30, 2007, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., the operator of the six nuclear power plants included in Entergy's Non-Utility Nuclear business, filed an application with the NRC requesting that the NRC approve an "indirect transfer of control" of the plants to an Entergy subsidiary holding company.  The proposed transfer of control will not result in any change in the role of Entergy Nuclear Operations as the licensed operator of the plants or changes in the officers, personnel or day-to-day operation of the plants.  If approved, the new holding company structure could facilitate the Non-Utility Nuclear business' ability to pursue debt financing based upon its own balance sheet and financial results. In its NRC filing, Entergy Nuclear Operations contemplates that the Non-Utility Nuclear business could borrow up to $5.5 billion in debt. Potential uses of the proceeds could include repayment of Entergy Corporation indebtedness, share repurchases, additional investments, or other corporate purposes. In addition, the new structure could facilitate other transactions, such as a joint venture, carve out, spin off, or other structures.  No decisions have been made on any possible transaction, however, including both financing and other alternatives, nor has any decision been made regarding the potential use of financing proceeds. The proposed restructuring is also subject to certain state regulatory approvals.

See "MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in Entergy's accounting for nuclear decommissioning costs, unbilled revenue, impairment of long-lived assets, qualified pension and other postretirement benefits, and other contingencies.

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159) during the first quarter of 2007. SFAS 159 provides an option for companies to select certain financial assets and liabilities to be accounted for at fair value with changes in the fair value of those assets or liabilities being reported through earnings. The intent of the standard is to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by the application of the more complicated fair value hedging accounting rules. Under SFAS 159, companies can select existing assets or liabilities for this fair value option concurrent with the effective date of January 1, 2008 for companies with fiscal years ending December 31 or can select future assets or liabilities as they are acquired or entered into. Entergy is in the process of evaluating the potential effect of making this accounting election.

In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue 06-3 "How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)" (EITF 06-3). The scope of this issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. Under EITF 06-3, the presentation of taxes within the scope of this issue on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. For any such taxes reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements, for each period for which an income statement is presented, should be disclosed if those amounts are significant. Entergy's policy is to present such taxes on a net basis, unless required to report differently by a regulatory authority. EITF 06-3 did not affect Entergy's financial statements.
