PTI will be presented as a discontinued segment and historical financial
statements of the Company will be restated to reflect management's decision to
dispose of this segment.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 audited consolidated financial
statements.  The pro forma information shown is not necessarily indicative of
the results that would have been reported had such events actually occurred on
the dates specified, nor is it indicative of the Company's future results.

The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated income statements consist of
the historical income statements of the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997
less the historical income statements of PTI.  Certain additional adjustments
should be considered.

 (i) Assuming that PTI was sold for its net book value of $756 million on
     January 1, 1996, a loan agreement would have required $450 million of
     debt repayment resulting in estimated interest savings of $25 million and
     increased earnings on common stock of $16 million, or $.05 per share.  If
     the remaining $306 million of proceeds had been used to repay debt, the
     additional interest expense reduction in 1996 would have been $17 million
     and earnings on common stock would have increased an additional
     $11 million, or an additional $.04 per share.

(ii) Assuming that PTI was sold for net book value of $780 million on
     January 1, 1997, a loan agreement would have required $134 million of
     debt repayment resulting in estimated interest savings of $2 million and
     increased earnings on common stock of $1 million.  If the remaining
     $646 million of proceeds had been used to repay debt, the additional
     interest expense reduction for the three months ended March 31, 1997
     would have been $9 million, earnings available on common would have
     increased an additional $6 million and earnings per share would have
     increased an additional $.02.

The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 1997 consists of the historical unaudited balance sheet of the
Company, less the historical unaudited balance sheet of PTI, plus the
elimination of affiliated transactions and certain pro forma adjustments
described below:

(a)  Affiliated balances between the Company and its subsidiaries and PTI,
     eliminated in the consolidation process, were restored on the pro forma
     balance sheet.

(b)  Proceeds of $128 million were used to repay short-term debt, as required
     by the PacifiCorp Holdings, Inc. revolving credit agreement.
