(3) No SARs were granted. Each option may be exercised for one share of
SCEcorp Common Stock. The number of options have been adjusted to
reflect the two-for-one split of SCEcorp Common Stock effective June
1, 1993. During the term of the options, amounts equivalent to
dividends are accrued on the options at the same time and at the same
rate as would be payable on the number of shares of SCEcorp Common
Stock covered by the options. The amounts accumulate without interest.
The executive has no right to payment of these dividend equivalents
unless and until the underlying stock options are exercised. The
dollar amounts of dividend equivalents paid to the Named Officers
during 1993 upon exercise of options are included in the values shown
in column (c) of the table below entitled "Aggregated Option/SAR
Exercises in 1993 and FY-End Option/SAR Values."
(4) Includes contributions to vested defined contribution plans (the SSPP
and a supplemental plan for eligible participants who are affected by
participation limits of the SSPP imposed on higher paid individuals by
federal tax law) for Messrs. Bryson, Danner, Fohrer, Ray, and McCarthy
in the following amounts: For 1993, $28,274; $2,385; $8,069; $9,892;
$12,097, respectively. For 1992, $25,950; $0; $6,263; $9,013; $8,764,
respectively. For 1991, $20,671; $0; $4,877; $8,607; $8,451,
respectively.
Also includes preferential interest (that portion of interest that is
considered under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules to
be at above-market rates) accrued on deferred compensation for Messrs.
Bryson, Danner, Fohrer, Ray, and McCarthy in the following amounts: For
1993, $99,700; $1,335; $3,932; $5,405; $20,954, respectively. For
1992, $77,317; $0; $1,408; $3,980; $16,839, respectively. For 1991,
$63,814; $0; $564; $3,148; $13,670, respectively.
(5) Includes $22,683 which is the cost of providing Mr. Bryson's survivor
benefits under the 1985 deferred compensation plan.
(6) Includes a deferred $50,000 special performance award in recognition
of Mr. Fohrer's service as interim CEO of Mission Energy Company.
(7) Mr. McCarthy resigned from Edison on December 31, 1993. In addition
to the amounts described in footnote (4), the amount shown in Column
(i) for 1993 includes the following amounts paid, payable or accrued
to Mr. McCarthy related to his resignation: severance payments in the
amounts of $119,519 and $106,500; out-placement services in the amount
of $45,000, and a retainer in the amount of $25,000. Certain
additional amounts may accrue and become payable as a result of the
deferral of payments under various executive compensation plans. See
"Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements" below
for additional information.

(1) No SARs were granted. The options were granted under the LTICP and are
subject to a three-year vesting period with each one-third of the
options vesting and becoming exercisable on January 2, 1994, January
2, 1995 and January 2, 1996, respectively. The options have a 10-year
term, subject to earlier expiration upon termination of employment as
described below. The options are not transferable (except by will, the
laws of descent and distribution, or by a qualified domestic relations
order) and may be exercised only by the executive during his or her
lifetime. Each option may be exercised for one share of SCEcorp Common
Stock. A dividend equivalent account has been established for each
executive receiving a stock option grant. During the term of an
option, amounts equivalent to dividends are accrued in this account at
the same time and rate as would be payable on the number of shares of
SCEcorp Common Stock covered by the option. The amounts accumulate
without interest. Dividend equivalents are payable in cash (or
applicable to the exercise price) only upon the exercise of the related
stock option.
If an executive retires, dies, or is permanently and totally disabled
during the three-year vesting period, the unvested options will vest
and be exercisable to the extent of 1/36 of the grant for each full
month of service during the vesting period. Unvested options of any
person who has served on the Management Committee will vest and be
exercisable upon the member's retirement, death, or permanent and total
disability. (All of the Named Officers have served as members of the
Management Committee.) Upon retirement, death or permanent and total
disability, vested options and accumulated dividend equivalents may
continue to be exercised within their original term by the recipient
or beneficiary. If an executive is terminated other than by
retirement, death or permanent and total disability, options which had
vested as of the prior anniversary date of the grant and the
accumulated dividend equivalents thereon are forfeited unless the
options are exercised within 180 days of the date of termination; all
unvested options and the accumulated dividend equivalents thereon are
forfeited on the date of termination. An executive on an unpaid leave
of absence may be considered to be employed, except that any rights to
any awards will be limited to the extent the award was vested at the
commencement of the leave of absence.
If the outstanding shares of SCEcorp Common Stock are increased,
decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares
or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of
Common Stock or other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale
of all or substantially all of the property of SCEcorp, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to such shares
of Common Stock or other securities, an appropriate and proportionate
adjustment may be made in the number and kind of shares or other
securities subject to the then outstanding options and the price for
each share or other unit of any other securities subject to the then
outstanding options without change in the aggregate purchase price or
value as to which options remain exercisable or subject to
restrictions. Despite the foregoing, upon the dissolution,
liquidation, reorganization, merger or consolidation of SCEcorp with
one or more corporations as a result of which SCEcorp is not the
surviving corporation, all options then outstanding will become vested
and be exercisable unless provisions are made as part of the
transaction to continue the Plan or to assume or substitute stock
options of the successor corporation with appropriate adjustments as
to the number of options.
The Compensation Committee of the SCEcorp Board of Directors
("Committee") administers the LTICP and has sole discretion to
determine all terms and conditions of any grant, subject to plan
limits, including the price thereof which may not be less than fair
market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant in the
case of options. In addition, with the consent of the executive, the
Committee may amend the terms of any stock option grant agreement,
including the price of any option, the post-termination term, and the
vesting schedule. The Committee may substitute cash equivalent in
value to the options.
(2) The number of options and exercise price have been adjusted to reflect
the two-for-one stock split of SCEcorp Common Stock effective June 1,
1993.
11
(3) The options are subject to earlier expiration upon termination of
employment as described in footnote(1) above.
(4) Each option granted in 1993 may be exercised for one share of SCEcorp
Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.9375. The grant date value
of each option was calculated as the sum of two numbers: the option
value and the dividend equivalent value (described below). The option
value was calculated to be $2.45 per optioned share using the Black-
Scholes stock option pricing model. In making this calculation, it was
assumed that the average exercise period was eight years, the
volatility rate was 15%, the risk-free rate of return was 6.85%, the
dividend yield was 6.38% and the stock price and exercise price were
$21.9375. The aggregate grant date value represented by the option
value for Messrs. Bryson, Danner, Fohrer, Ray, and McCarthy was
$107,800, $44,100, $36,750, $41,650 and $29,400, respectively. The
actual value that an executive may realize will depend on various
factors on the date the option is exercised, so there is no assurance
the value realized by an executive will be at or near the grant date
value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The estimated values under
that model are based on certain assumptions and are not a prediction
as to future stock price.
During the term of an option, amounts equivalent to dividends, or
dividend equivalents, are accrued on each option at the same time and
rate as would be payable on the number of shares of SCEcorp Common
Stock underlying the option. These amounts accumulate without interest
and are paid in cash (or are applied to the exercise price) only upon
exercise of the related stock option. The grant date present value of
these dividend equivalents on each option granted in 1993 is calculated
to be $4.65. This dividend equivalent value was calculated by (a)
summing the dividends (without reinvestment) over the assumed eight-
year duration of the related stock option at the current annual
dividend rate of $1.42, and (b) discounting that sum to its present
value assuming a discount rate of 11.8%, which was Edison's authorized
return on common equity in 1993. The aggregate estimated grant date
value represented by the dividend equivalents on the options granted
in 1993 for Messrs. Bryson, Danner, Fohrer, Ray, and McCarthy was
$204,600, $83,700, $69,750, $79,050, and $55,800, respectively. The
calculation of the present value of the dividend equivalents is not a
prediction of future dividends or dividend policy, and there is no
assurance that the value of the dividend equivalents realized by an
executive upon exercise of the related options will be at or near the
value calculated as described above.

(1) Each option may be exercised for one share of SCEcorp Common Stock at
an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying
Common Stock on the date the option was granted. During the term of
an option, amounts equivalent to dividends, or dividend equivalents,
are accrued on each option at the same time and rate as would be
payable on the number of shares of SCEcorp Common Stock underlying the
option. These amounts accumulate without interest and are payable in
cash or are applicable to the exercise price, only upon exercise of the
related stock option.
(2) The dollar amounts shown are the difference between fair market value
of the SCEcorp Common Stock underlying the options at date of
exercise and the exercise price of the options, plus the value of
dividend equivalents which had accrued on the options and were paid to
the executive or applied to the exercise price by the executive upon
exercise of the related options. If the accrued dividend equivalents
of $40,854 realized upon exercise by Mr. Ray were excluded from the
value realized above, Mr. Ray would have realized $30,429.
(3) No SARs have been granted to any of the Named Officers.
(4) Options have been treated as "in-the-money" if the fair market value
of the underlying stock at year-end 1993 exceeded the exercise price
of the options reduced by then accrued dividend equivalents on the
related stock. The dollar amounts shown are the difference between the
fair market value of the SCEcorp Common Stock underlying all
unexercised in-the-money options at year-end 1993 and the exercise
price of those options reduced by dividend equivalents accrued on the
options at year-end 1993. If the dividend equivalents were not
reflected in determining whether an option is in-the-money and were not
included in determining the value of an option (i.e., they were not
treated as reducing the exercise price), the aggregate value at year-
end 1993 of all unexercised in-the-money options, exercisable and
unexercisable, for Messrs. Bryson, Danner, Fohrer, Ray, and McCarthy
was $114,214/$20,000, $0/$0, $4,168/$2,083, $10,834/$5,416, and
$16,650/$0, respectively.

(1) Estimates are based on the provisions of the Employee Retirement Plan
(the "Retirement Plan") and the Executive Retirement Plan (the
"ERP"), with the following assumptions: (i) Edison's present
13
Retirement Plan will be maintained, (ii) optional forms of payment
which reduce benefit amounts have not been selected, and (iii) any
benefits in excess of limits contained in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code") and any incremental retirement benefits attributable
to consideration of the annual bonus or participation in Edison's
deferred compensation plans will be paid out of the ERP as unsecured
obligations of Edison.
The Retirement Plans provide monthly benefits at normal retirement age
(65 years) based on a unit benefit for each year of service plus a benefit
determined by a percentage ("Service Percentage") of the executive's
average highest 36 consecutive months of regular salary and, in the case
of the ERP, the average highest three bonuses in the last five years prior
to attaining age 65. The Service Percentage is based on 1-3/4% per year
for the first 30 years of service (52-1/2% upon completion of 30 years'
service) and 1% for each year in excess of 30. Individuals hired prior
to September 1, 1978 are grandfathered into the benefit provisions of the
Retirement Plans as they were then constituted. These grandfathering
provisions may provide slightly higher benefits for individuals who have
less than 22.7 years of service. The actual benefit determined by the
Service Percentage would take into account the unit benefit and be offset
by up to 40% of the executive's primary Social Security benefits. For
management and administrative employees in service on or after January 1,
1988 (operative employees after January 1, 1989), accrual of years of
credited service occurs without regard to attainment of age 65. In
addition, periods during which participants receive benefits under the
Long-Term Disability Plan also count for credit under the Retirement
Plans.
The normal form of benefit is a life annuity with a 50% survivor benefit
following the death of the participant. Retirement benefits are reduced
for retirement prior to age 61. The amounts shown in the Pension Table
above do not reflect reductions in retirement benefits due to the Social
Security offset or early retirement.
At December 31, 1993, Mr. Bryson had completed 9 years of service, Mr.
Danner--1 year, Mr. Fohrer--20 years, Mr. Ray--23 years, and Mr. McCarthy-
- -23 years.
Other Retirement Benefits
Additional post-retirement benefits are provided pursuant to the Income
Continuation Plan and the Survivor Income/Retirement Income Plan under the
Executive Supplemental Benefit Program:
The Income Continuation Plan provides a post-retirement survivor benefit
payable to the beneficiary of the Executive Officer following his or her
death. The benefit is approximately 22% of final compensation (salary at
retirement and the average of the three highest bonuses paid in the five
years prior to retirement) payable for ten years certain. If a Named
Officer's final annual compensation were $1.15 million,(1) the
beneficiary's estimated annual survivor benefit would be $253,000.
The Survivor Income/Retirement Income Plan provides a post-retirement
survivor benefit payable to the beneficiary of the Executive Officer
following his or her death. The benefit is 25% of final compensation
(salary at retirement and the average of the three highest bonuses paid
in the five years prior to retirement) payable for ten years certain. At
retirement, an Executive Officer has the right to elect the Retirement
Income benefit in lieu of the Survivor Income benefit. The Retirement
Income benefit is 10% of final compensation (salary at retirement and the
average of the three highest bonuses paid in the five years prior to
retirement) payable to the Executive Officer for ten years certain
immediately following retirement. If a Named Officer's final annual
compensation were $1.15 million,(1) the beneficiary's estimated annual
survivor benefit would be $287,500. If a Named Officer were to elect the
Retirement Income benefit in lieu of Survivor Income and had final annual
compensation of $1.15 million,(1) the Named Officer's estimated annual
benefit would be $115,000.
- ------------
(1) For purposes of determining the estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement at normal retirement age for each of the Named Officers,
which is dependent upon final compensation, the highest compensation
level in the "Pension Plan Table" above ($1.15 million) has been used.
14
The 1985 Deferred Compensation Plan provides a post-retirement survivor
benefit. This plan allowed eligible participants in September 1985 to
voluntarily elect to defer until retirement a portion of annual salary
and annual bonuses otherwise earned and payable for the period October
1985 through January 1990. Messrs. Bryson, Ray and McCarthy participate
in this plan. The post-retirement survivor benefit is 50% of the annual
deferred compensation payable from the participant's account. Survivor
benefit payments begin following completion of the participant's deferred
compensation payments. If the named beneficiary is the executive's
spouse, then survivor benefits are paid as a life annuity, five years
certain; the benefit amount will be reduced actuarially if the spouse is
more than five years younger than the executive at the time of the
executive's death. If the beneficiary is not the spouse, then benefits
are paid for five years only. The annual amounts payable to the surviving
beneficiaries of Messrs. Bryson and Ray at age 65 are $1,260,020 and
$46,324, respectively. Under Mr. McCarthy's resignation agreement
described below in "Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment
Agreements," his payments from this plan will begin in 1995. If death
occurs before plan payments begin, his beneficiaries will receive $95,625
per year for 10 years. If death occurs after payments begin, his
beneficiaries will receive the postretirement survivor benefit described
above and the annual amount payable will be $42,060.
Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements
One of the Named Officers, Mr. Danner, executed an employment agreement
when he joined SCEcorp and Edison as Senior Vice President and General
Counsel in 1992. Upon commencement of his employment, Mr. Danner was
conditionally credited with ten years of service with Edison and SCEcorp
for purposes of determining benefits under the ERP, and he will accrue an
additional year of service for each year of employment he completes.
After three years of service, the conditionally credited years will vest
and any subsequent severance will be treated as a retirement for all
executive benefit programs. If Mr. Danner ends his employment voluntarily
before three years are completed, no executive benefits will be payable
except deferred compensation balances and vested stock options. If Mr.
Danner's employment is ended involuntarily before he completes three years
of service, in addition to the above payments, he will receive one year's
salary and a one-year term life insurance policy with a face value of $1
million. In addition, SCEcorp and Edison have agreed to use their best
efforts to make available health care coverage until Mr. Danner and his
spouse reach age 65 with SCEcorp and Edison bearing the cost over the
amount an Edison retiree would bear for coverage in the Edison group plan
with the highest deductible.
One of the Named Officers, Mr. McCarthy, executed an agreement which
provided for termination of his employment pursuant to the Edison
Involuntary Severance Plan for Management and Administrative Employees and
his resignation and retirement as an Executive Officer of Edison effective
December 31, 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the severance plan, Mr.
McCarthy received four weeks of base pay plus one week of base pay for
each year of service which totaled $119,519. Mr. McCarthy was also
eligible for the special retirement window offered as part of the program
and will receive any other benefits generally available to him as an
Edison retiree. Payments under the ERP, the Executive Supplemental
Benefit Program, and the Edison deferred compensation plans have been
deferred until Mr. McCarthy reaches age 55. The ERP benefit will be
calculated as if he were 58 years old with 25 years of service when he
retired. Mr. McCarthy's deferred compensation plan accounts will earn an
estimated $46,216 of preferential interest (that portion of interest that
is considered under SEC rules to be at above-market rates) during the
additional deferral period if the plans are not amended or terminated by
Edison in the interim. Mr. McCarthy will also receive up to $45,000 of
out-placement services to be paid by Edison over a two-year period. In
addition to the basic severance benefit, Mr. McCarthy will be paid the sum
of $106,500 in June of 1994. Stock options held by Mr. McCarthy were
vested upon his termination and shall remain exercisable for their full
terms. Mr. McCarthy was paid a $25,000 retainer fee to provide Edison for
a period of one year with such information and assistance Edison may
require on matters handled by him while he was employed by Edison. Edison
shall compensate Mr. McCarthy at the rate of $150 per hour for time
actually expended providing such assistance.

Compensation Committees' Report(1)
The SCEcorp and Edison Compensation Committees ("Committees") have
responsibility for all executive compensation programs of the companies.
The Committees are composed of the same non-employee directors named at
the end of this report.
The Committees met jointly to consider executive compensation matters
for 1993. The SCEcorp Committee determines salaries and administers the
annual incentive plan for SCEcorp Executive Officers.(2) The Edison
Committee determines salaries and administers the annual incentive plan
for Edison Executive Officers. The salaries and annual incentive awards
of the Executive Officers of other SCEcorp subsidiaries ("Mission
Companies") are determined by their respective boards of directors.
However, the SCEcorp Committee reviews the salaries and annual incentive
awards of the Executive Officers of the Mission Companies to ensure
consistency with overall SCEcorp compensation policies. In addition, the
SCEcorp Committee administers the SCEcorp Officer Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Plan pursuant to which various incentive awards, including
stock options, may be made to Executive Officers of SCEcorp, Edison and
the Mission Companies.
Compensation Policies
The executive compensation programs of SCEcorp and Edison are designed
by the Committees to achieve three fundamental objectives: (1) attract and
retain qualified executives; (2) motivate performance to achieve specific
strategic objectives of the companies; and (3) align the interests of
senior management with the long-term interests of the companies'
shareholders. At present, the basic components of the companies'
executive compensation program are base salaries, annual incentive
compensation (bonuses), and long-term incentive compensation. The
companies also provide broad-based employee benefit plans and certain
other executive benefit plans.
The Committees examined the competitiveness of the companies'
compensation structure through an independent survey of the 11 largest
electric utilities, 8 large west coast companies and 8 telecommunication
companies, essentially the same group of companies which have been
utilized for this purpose for the last several years. The surveyed
companies provide the Committees with important compensation perspectives
within (1) the segment of the electric utility industry most comparable
to Edison, (2) the geographic region in which Edison and SCEcorp are
located, and (3) the nonregulated and diversified utility industry in
which SCEcorp will be competing on an increasing basis in the future,
represented by the telecommunication companies. Survey data was reviewed
for all three groups, but the Committees elected to base their
compensation decisions on data related to the 11 largest electric
utilities. Although this group does not include all of the companies
comprising the indices depicted in the Stock Performance Graphs, the 11
largest electric companies are all included in the Dow Jones Utility Group
Index and are the group of utilities most comparable to SCEcorp and Edison
in terms of size. The Committees' strategy for 1993 compensation planning
was to target cash compensation through salary and bonus of the top ten
executives, in the aggregate, at the median level of the large electric
utilities and provide the potential to earn total direct compensation at
the 75th percentile through long-term incentives directly linked to
competitive performance.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any document
filed by SCEcorp or Edison with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), or elsewhere, this report shall not be deemed to be
incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating this
proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 ( the
"Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), except to the extent SCEcorp or Edison specifically incorporate
this report by reference therein, and shall not be deemed soliciting
material or otherwise be deemed filed under either of such acts.
(2) The term "Executive Officers" as used in this report refers to the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, President, elected
Vice Presidents, and Secretary of SCEcorp, Edison, and/or other SCEcorp
subsidiaries.
16
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which became effective in
1994, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for
compensation over $1 million paid to the corporation's Chief Executive
Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers.
Certain exceptions are provided for non-discretionary, performance-related
compensation. Compensation realized upon the exercise of non-qualified
stock options granted before 1997 under the LTICP would generally not be
included in determining whether the deductibility limits are exceeded.
Based on their understanding of Section 162(m) in the context of the
compensation programs of SCEcorp and Edison, the Committees consider it
unlikely that the compensation level of any executive officer in 1994
would exceed the deductibility limits under Section 162(m).
The Committees will continue to monitor the compensation programs of
SCEcorp and Edison in light of the potential impact of Section 162(m), to
the extent it is determinable. The Committees' general intent is to
design and administer the SCEcorp and Edison compensation programs in a
manner that will preserve the deductibility of compensation payments to
Executive Officers. However, the Committees may authorize compensation
which is not deductible in limited circumstances where it seems
appropriate to do so in the overall best interests of the corporations,
and consistent with the Committees' other compensation policies described
above.
1993 Base Salaries
Base salary adjustments are considered by the Committees on an annual
basis. The Committees examine both the competitiveness of the companies'
salary structures and the salaries of individual Executive Officers. The
compensation survey indicated that, in the aggregate, base salaries of the
Executive Officers were in the lowest quartile of utility companies
surveyed.
The factors considered by the Committees in December 1992, when they set
Mr. Bryson's base salary for 1993, included the overall financial
performance of the companies, the relationship of his compensation to the
average compensation of other chief executive officers of the surveyed
companies, and the Committees' assessment of Mr. Bryson's performance as
CEO of SCEcorp and Edison. The Committees also considered Mr. Bryson's
leadership of the companies, particularly with respect to strategic
planning and competitive performance . Based on consideration of these
factors, Mr. Bryson's base salary for 1993 was increased by the Committees
by 7.14% to $600,000. The Committees believed this increase was
appropriate and consistent with their objective to bring the base salary
for the Chief Executive Officer to the median level of the 11 largest
electric utilities. Even with this increase, the base salary component
of Mr. Bryson's compensation remained below the average of those
companies. In December 1992, the Committees also approved salary
adjustments averaging 7% for the other Executive Officers to recognize
individual performance and to bring base salaries closer to the median of
the companies surveyed.
Incentive Compensation Awards for 1993 Performance
Annual incentive compensation is determined on the basis of overall
corporate performance and the Committees' assessment of the individual
Executive Officer's performance. Awards are made at the discretion of the
Committees and are not formula-based. An Edison Corporate Achievement
Agenda for 1993 was adopted by the Edison Committee pertaining to
Competitive Performance, Customers, Regional Leadership --Community &
Environment, Organizational Effectiveness, Regulatory and Public Affairs,
and Shareholder Value. Specific performance indicators within each area
of achievement were identified, such as achieving a return on rate base
within 20 basis points of the authorized return and increasing customer
satisfaction by 5% over established baselines.
When the Committees met in February 1994 to determine annual incentive
awards for 1993 performance by Mr. Bryson and the other Executive
Officers, they considered whether the stated 1993 objectives for each of
the areas of achievement had been attained by Edison and the Mission
companies, and reviewed other significant events during the year. In
analyzing results, the Committees gave more weight to goals related to the
financial performance of the companies. The Committees determined that
Edison met or exceeded all of its established objectives. Mission Energy
Company was unable to meet its 1993 objectives. Mission First Financial
had solid performance, but fell slightly short of its earnings goals. In
addition to company
17
performance, the Committees considered the achievement of each officer
measured against performance pledges targeted at his or her area of
responsibility and the resulting contribution to overall corporate
performance. In determining the annual incentive awards for the senior
SCEcorp Executive Officers, including Mr. Bryson, the Committees
considered the performance of the three major SCEcorp subsidiaries which,
as described above, varied significantly.
Mr. Bryson was eligible for a 1993 annual incentive award of up to 65%
of his base salary, or $390,000. The Committees approved an award of
$325,000, which was 83% of Mr. Bryson's full award potential. Mr.
Bryson's 1993 award was lower than his maximum award potential (and lower
than his 1992 award) primarily because of the disappointing results at
Mission Energy Company and the decrease in total shareholder return. This
reduction was mitigated, to some extent, by the Committees' subjective
assessment of Mr. Bryson's overall, individual performance, with
particular focus on his role as CEO of SCEcorp and Edison in leading
management's efforts to achieve 1993 goals. Factors the Committee found
significant were his management of the changing environment at Edison, his
leadership in a challenging management transition at Mission Energy
Company, and his involvement in national and international issues at the
highest levels as a spokesperson and representative of the companies.
In determining 1993 incentive awards for the other Executive Officers,
the Committees considered the corporate results discussed above and
evaluated the overall, individual performance of each Executive Officer,
including the contributions made toward achieving the 1993 corporate
objectives. As a result of this process, annual incentive awards were
approved for Edison Executive Officers which totalled 79% of the maximum
potential award amount.
Long-Term Compensation Awards
Long-term compensation is comprised of incentive opportunities under the
SCEcorp Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. This plan is designed to
more closely align the long-term interests of senior management and the
companies' shareholders and reward Executive Officers for delivering long-
term value to the shareholders of the companies. All options and prices
discussed below have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one SCEcorp
stock split effective June 1, 1993.
Under this Plan, the SCEcorp Committee awarded ten-year nonqualified
stock options with dividend equivalents to Executive Officers in 1993.
The options have a three-year vesting cycle and the option price was the
fair market value of SCEcorp Common Stock on the date of grant. Based on
data obtained in the compensation survey described above, a range of long-
term incentive compensation award values was developed. The ranges of
values were converted to options using the binomial variation of the
Black-Scholes option pricing method. Options were awarded to Executive
Officers at the discretion of the Committee. Options covering a total of
297,800 shares, at an option price of $21.9375 per share were granted to
Executive Officers in January 1993. Options covering a total of 20,000
shares were granted to a new Executive Officer in August 1993 at an option
price of $20.1875 per share.
The SCEcorp Committee approved a January 1993 award to Mr. Bryson of
44,000 10-year nonqualified stock options with dividend equivalents. This
award reflects the Committee's commitment to link a significant portion
of Mr. Bryson's compensation directly to the value provided to
shareholders by SCEcorp stock and dividends. Although the number of
shares to be covered by the options awarded to Mr. Bryson was at the lower
end of the range indicated by the survey of competitive companies, the
Committee believed the selected amount would be appropriate and consistent
with its objective that performance by Mr. Bryson and the companies would
translate into value for the shareholders in the form of stock
appreciation and dividend growth.
18
The Mission Companies
The SCEcorp Committee also reviewed the salaries and annual incentive
awards of the Executive Officers of the Mission Companies. Salary actions
taken by their respective boards of directors were examined in light of
the performance of the companies and survey data of competitive firms to
maintain consistency with overall SCEcorp compensation policies.
Incentive Awards were based on company and individual performance in
various areas of achievement including Financial Performance, Effective
Budgeting and Cost Control, Operational Efficiency, Comprehensive and
Effective Business Planning and Development, High Employee Productivity,
Capital Access, New Projects and Overall Management Effectiveness. The
discretionary 1993 annual incentive awards for the Executive Officers of
the Mission Energy Company and Mission First Financial averaged 4% and
80%, respectively, of their maximum possible awards.

Stock Performance Graphs(1)(2)
Set forth below are two line graphs comparing the yearly percentage
change in the cumulative total shareholder return for the last five fiscal
years on the SCEcorp Common Stock (assuming an initial investment of $100
on December 31, 1988), based on the market price of the Common Stock and
assuming dividend reinvestment, with the cumulative total return for the
last five fiscal years of companies in (i) the Standard and Poor's 500
Stock Index ("S&P 500") and the Dow Jones Utility Average Index ("DJUA"),
and (ii) the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Electric Utilities Group Index

primarily involved in the natural gas industry. The Dow 49 contains 49
utility companies that are only electric or combination (electric and gas)
companies. Both indices are published daily in The Wall Street Journal.
SCEcorp is included in both the DJUA and the Dow 49.

Certain Additional Affiliations and Transactions of Nominees and Executive
Officers
In 1993, WRG, a management consulting firm of which Mr. John Danner is
a partner, was paid $750,762.68 by Edison and $1,003,069.40 by SCEcorp for
consulting services provided in late 1992 and 1993. Mr. Danner is the
brother of Bryant C. Danner, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of
SCEcorp and Edison.
In 1992, Mr. Michael R. Peevey entered into a consulting agreement with
SCEcorp, effective upon his retirement in 1993 as President and Director
of SCEcorp and Edison. Under this agreement, Mr. Peevey will be paid
$20,833 monthly for a period of two years. Should this agreement
terminate due to Mr. Peevey's resignation to accept a full-time
governmental position in which he is precluded from continuing as a
consultant, he is entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to $10,417
multiplied by the number of months remaining between his resignation and
the second anniversary of the date of his retirement from SCEcorp.
SCEcorp and Edison believe that any transactions described above are
comparable to those which would have been undertaken under similar
circumstances with nonaffiliated entities or persons.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires SCEcorp's and Edison's
respective Directors and Officers, and persons who own more than 10% of
a registered class of SCEcorp's or Edison's respective equity securities,
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such equity
securities with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Directors,
Officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations
to furnish SCEcorp or Edison, as the case may be, with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
respective companies, or written representations that no Forms 5 were
required, SCEcorp and Edison, respectively, believe that from January 1,
1993 through December 31, 1993, their Directors, Officers and greater than
10% beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements,
except that three reports covering three transactions were filed late by
H. E. Morgan, Jr., an Edison Officer, and one report covering one
transaction was filed late by Michael R. Peevey, an SCEcorp and Edison
Officer and Director. Each transaction was in SCEcorp Common Stock.
Messrs. Morgan and Peevey retired on March 1, 1993.
Committees and Compensation of the Boards of Directors
The Committees of each of the SCEcorp and Edison Boards are the
Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Finance Committee, Compensation
Committee and Nominating Committee. The major functions of each of these
committees are described briefly below. The composition of each
respective committee is the same for SCEcorp and Edison.
Executive Committees. Each Executive Committee is empowered to exercise
the authority of the SCEcorp or Edison Board, as applicable, in the
management of the business and the affairs of SCEcorp or Edison, as
applicable, between meetings of the SCEcorp or Edison Board, as
applicable, except to the extent limited by the California General
Corporation Law.
Audit Committees. Each Audit Committee meets regularly with the
management of SCEcorp or Edison, as applicable, the independent public
accountants and the internal auditors to make inquiries regarding the
manner in which the responsibilities of each are being discharged and
reports thereon to the SCEcorp or Edison Board, as applicable. In
addition, each Audit Committee recommends to the SCEcorp or Edison Board,
as applicable, the annual appointment of the independent public
accountants with whom the Audit Committee reviews the scope of audit and
other engagements and the related fees, the accounting principles being
applied by SCEcorp or Edison, as applicable, in financial reporting, the
scope of internal financial auditing procedures and the adequacy of
internal accounting controls.
Finance Committees. Each Finance Committee, formerly the Budget
Committee, regularly reviews the financial structure of their respective
companies. In addition, the SCEcorp Finance Committee reviews the
financial planning process and investment outlook for SCEcorp and its
nonutility subsidiaries, and approves
21
certain committed investments thereof. The Edison Finance Committee
reviews the five year capital expenditure outlook, financing plans, total
revenue requirements and earnings trends of Edison as well as approving
certain capital projects.
Compensation Committees. Each Compensation Committee periodically
reviews the compensation of the SCEcorp or Edison Executive Officers, as
applicable, and approves appropriate adjustments which are reported to the
SCEcorp or Edison Board, as applicable. Additional information as to the
Compensation Committees' duties are described in the "Compensation
Committees' Report" above.
Nominating Committees. Each Nominating Committee periodically consults
with the management of SCEcorp or Edison, as applicable, reviews
suggestions of candidates for Director made by shareholders and makes
recommendations to the SCEcorp or Edison Board, as applicable, regarding
the composition of the SCEcorp or Edison Board, as applicable, and
selection of individual candidates for election to the SCEcorp or Edison
Board, as applicable. Suggestions by shareholders for candidates should
be submitted in writing, accompanied by biographical material for
evaluation and sent to the office of the Secretary, SCEcorp and/or Edison,
P.O. Box 800, Rosemead, California 91770.
Compensation of Directors. During 1993, each Director who was not an
Executive Officer of SCEcorp or Edison received $20,000 plus $1,200 for
each meeting attended. Each Director who was not an Executive Officer and
was a member of an Executive Committee received $2,000 in 1993 plus $1,000
for each meeting of that Committee attended. Each Director who was not
an Executive Officer and was a member of an Audit Committee, Finance
Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating Committee received $1,000
for each meeting of those Committees attended. Each Director who was not
an Executive Officer and was a Chairman of any of the Committees received
$3,000 in 1993.
Since each Director serves on both SCEcorp and Edison Boards and the
same committees of each Board, the yearly retainers and meeting fees
described above represent aggregate amounts for such service on both the
SCEcorp and Edison Boards, except that separate meeting fees are paid for
each meeting of one of the SCEcorp or Edison Boards, or one of the
committees, that is not held in conjunction with a meeting of the
corresponding Board or committee. It is the usual practice of SCEcorp and
Edison that meetings of the SCEcorp and Edison Boards, and of
corresponding committees, are held in conjunction with each other and a
single meeting fee is paid to each Director for each set of meetings.
Pursuant to the SCEcorp Director Incentive Compensation Plan, which was
approved by the SCEcorp shareholders in 1992, each Director of SCEcorp and
Edison is automatically granted 200 shares of SCEcorp Common Stock upon
election or reelection to their respective Boards. Directors serving on
both Boards receive only one award per year.
SCEcorp and Edison maintain identical retirement plans for Directors.
Under the terms of the plans, retiring or resigning Directors in good
standing who have reached age 65 with at least five years of service on
the SCEcorp or Edison Board are entitled to receive an annual retirement
benefit in the amount of the yearly retainer and 10 monthly meeting fees
as in effect on the date of termination of service. These amounts will
be paid quarterly to the retired or resigned Director (or, upon death, to
his or her spouse) for an interval equal to the term of service on the
SCEcorp or Edison Board. Certain periods of uninterrupted government
service are taken into account for benefit purposes. Such service must
have (i) been completed before 1982, (ii) required a break in service from
the Board, and (iii) been followed by reelection to the Board.
Simultaneous service on both Boards does not duplicate benefits earned
under the plans.
Under the terms of the Edison 1985 Deferred Compensation Plan for Edison
Directors who were on the Board and enrolled in the Plan in September
1985, Directors were eligible to defer up to $94,350 of their compensation
from October 1, 1985 through December 31, 1989. These amounts are
deferred until the participant ceases to be a Director, dies or attains
a predetermined age of at least 65, but no greater than 72. The account
may be paid in installments of 10 or 15 equal annual installments or 120
or 180 equal monthly installments. If a participant dies before payments
have begun, his or her beneficiary will receive the account payments over
the term elected by the participant. In addition, the beneficiary will
receive annual payments equal to 75% of the participant's total deferred
commitment for ten years. If a participant dies after payments have
begun, the remainder of his or her account will continue to be paid to the
beneficiary. Following the completion of these payments, if the
beneficiary is the surviving spouse, the
22
person will be entitled to a five-year certain life annuity equal to 50%
of the payments the participant had been receiving. If the beneficiary
is someone other than a spouse, such payments will be made for five years
only. Preferential interest (interest considered under SEC rules to be
at above-market rates) in the amounts of $5,867, $12,526, $9,380, $12,526,
$12,526, $12,526, $12,526, $12,526, and $12,526, were credited in 1993 on
the accounts of Messrs. Anderson, Barker, Christopher, Gerken, Hanley,
Huntsinger, Rosser, Segerstrom, and Zapanta, respectively. All amounts
payable under this plan are treated as unsecured obligations of Edison.
Under the Deferred Compensation Plans for Edison Directors from 1987 to
1989, Directors were eligible to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer
and 12 monthly meeting fees. Since 1990, Directors are eligible to defer
up to 100% of their Board compensation, including any retainers, and any
meeting fees. These amounts are deferred until a specified year,
retirement, death or discontinuance of service as a Director.
Compensation deferred until a specified year may be paid as a single lump
sum or in 12 monthly payments. Compensation deferred until retirement or
death may be paid as a single lump sum or in monthly installments for 60
months or 120 months. Compensation deferred until discontinuance of
service as a Director may be paid as a single lump sum or in three annual
installments. Preferential interest (interest considered under the SEC
rules to be at above-market rates) in the amounts of $4,070, $351, $4,499,
$3,850, $4,118, $3,263, $3,618, and $171, were credited in 1993 on the
accounts of Messrs. Anderson, Christopher, Gerken, Huntsinger, Rosser,
Segerstrom, Shannon, and Smith, respectively. All amounts payable under
these plans are treated as unsecured obligations of Edison.
In 1990, following his retirement as Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer of SCEcorp and Edison, Mr. Allen entered into
a consulting agreement with Edison. In 1993, Mr. Allen received $250,000
as compensation for his services under the consulting agreement and will
continue to be compensated at an annual rate of $250,000 through December
31, 1995.
Meetings and Attendance
During 1993, the SCEcorp and Edison Audit Committees met four times
each, the Finance Committees met four times each, the Compensation
Committees met six times each, and the Nominating Committees met once.
The Edison Executive Committee met eight times, while the SCEcorp
Executive Committee met once. The SCEcorp and Edison Boards met 10 times
each during 1993.
During 1993, all Directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate total
meetings of the SCEcorp and Edison Boards (held during the period for
which each person had been a Director) and Committees of the SCEcorp and
Edison Boards on which they served (during the periods that each person
served) with the exception of Mr. Huntsinger. However, Mr. Huntsinger
attended 80% of the aggregate total meetings of the SCEcorp and Edison
Boards held during 1993.
SCEcorp SHAREHOLDERS ONLY
ITEM NO. 2 -- SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The following proposal has been submitted by a shareholder for action
at the SCEcorp annual meeting. To be approved, this proposal must receive
affirmative votes from a majority of the shares represented and voted at
the annual meeting, including only votes actually cast and excluding
abstentions and broker non-votes. Proxies solicited by the Board of
Directors will be voted "AGAINST" this proposal unless shareholders
specify otherwise in their proxies.
The name, address and the number of shares held by the proponent will
be furnished, either orally or in writing as requested, promptly upon
receipt of any oral or written request to SCEcorp. Written requests
should be addressed to the Secretary of SCEcorp, P.O. Box 999, Rosemead,
California 91770; oral requests should be directed to (818) 302-1391.
Shareholder Proposal
"RESOLVED: That the shareholders of SCE Corporation recommend that the
Board of Directors take the necessary steps to institute a salary ceiling
such that no senior executive officer or director or consultant
23
acting in the capacity of an executive officer or director of the Company
receive a combined salary and other compensation which is more than one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the salary provided to the President of
the United States."
Statement of Proponent Supporting this Recommendation
"There is no corporation which exceeds the size or has the complexity
of the government of the United States run by the President of the United
States. Even most government agencies far exceed the size, as measured
by personnel and budget of any private corporation. The President of the
United States receives a salary of $200,000, while the heads of agencies
and even members of Congress are paid somewhat in excess of $100,000.
"In order to overcome even the appearance that officers of public
corporations run the corporations for their benefit rather than for the
benefit of the shareholders, the salary and compensation should not exceed
that set forth above. Usually, there is no direct correlation between the
profitability of a corporation and the compensation to officers. In fact,
in many corporations, the compensation increases even as profits fall.
Thus, it is clear that compensation does not usually serve as an incentive
for a better run or more profitable corporation. Any officer who believes
he can better his corporation should be sufficiently motivated by stock
options or by his purchase of stock on the open market.
"There is a general consensus in the United States that corporate
officials are grossly overpaid and that this state of affairs is
promulgated by the `hands off' policy of Boards of Directors. Many
Qualified people would gladly step in and do as good a job as the
incumbent officers of the Corporation and they would have no hesitation
to serve under the aforementioned ceiling on compensation.
"If you agree, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
Recommendation of Your Board of Directors "AGAINST" This Proposal
It is unclear whether the proponent intended this proposal to apply to
SCEcorp alone or to SCEcorp and its subsidiaries. If intended to apply
to SCEcorp, the proposal would be impossible to implement since SCEcorp
has no employees. If intended to apply to SCEcorp and its subsidiaries,
including Edison, the proposal raises many other concerns.
For example, if applied to SCEcorp and its subsidiaries, the Board of
Directors believes that a salary ceiling would severely limit the
companies' ability to recruit, motivate and retain talented senior officer
employees. In addition, the proposal would unduly restrict management's
discretion and ability to hire consultants necessary to efficiently
perform numerous services relating to the companies' day-to-day
operations. Such consultants might include outside experts in financial,
accounting, engineering, legal, computer systems, and insurance fields.
Many factors properly cause a company's management to pay an individual
more compensation than the proposal suggests. For example, setting
compensation levels for employees or potential employees requires
management to consider, among other things, the company's financial
condition and personnel requirements, an individual employee's value to
the company, the employee's prior experience and compensation history, and
the industry's prevailing compensation levels in the industry for similar
positions. Outside consultant compensation is determined by market forces
of supply and demand for individuals having the expertise to provide
needed services.
The proposal introduces a compensation limit which has no rational
connection to the companies' business or the industries in which they
operate. If the proposal were implemented, there is a substantial risk
that employees and consultants affected by the proposed compensation
ceiling would not choose to be employed by the companies should
competitive market forces place a higher value on their services.
Considering the competitive markets in which Edison and the Mission
Companies operate, the Board does not believe that there are, as stated
by the proponent, "[m]any [q]ualified people [who] would gladly step
24
in and do as good a job as the incumbent officers," under the proposed
salary ceiling. Individuals whose compensation might exceed the proposed
limits are generally exceptionally qualified and are in great demand.
There is a limited number of such people that could be hired by the
companies.
The proposal recommends that no executive officer or director receive
a combined salary "and other compensation" of more than 150% of the salary
of the President of the United States. The proposal is misleading in that
it fails to describe the full range of benefits that the President
receives. In addition to $200,000 per year base compensation, the
President receives considerable sums for general and residential expenses,
for expenses to meet unanticipated needs, and for other office expenses
including vehicles, supplies, travel and entertainment. Furthermore, the
President is the beneficiary of a generous pension. The proposal does not
address whether benefits provided by the companies (such as profit
sharing, health insurance, and pension plans) are included in the
definition of "other compensation" and therefore limited by the proposal.
It would be difficult for the proposal to be implemented due to this
vagueness.
For these reasons, your Board of Directors recommends a vote "AGAINST"
this proposal.

class, or 11.5%, in its nominee names. SSPP and ESOP Plan shares are
voted in accordance with instructions given by employees, whether
vested or not. SSPP shares for which instructions are not received may
be voted by the Trustee in its discretion. ESOP shares for which
instructions are not received by the Trustee will not be voted.

the respective annual meetings of SCEcorp and Edison. At the annual
meeting they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire, and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 1995 ANNUAL MEETINGS
Under the SCEcorp and Edison Bylaws, shareholders intending to bring
any business before an Annual Meeting of Shareholders of either SCEcorp
or Edison, including nominations of persons for election as directors,
must give written notice to the Secretary of SCEcorp or Edison, as the

bylaws. A copy of the bylaws may be obtained by writing to the Secretary
of SCEcorp or Edison.
Assuming that the 1995 Annual Meetings of Shareholders are held on
April 20, 1995, as currently specified by the bylaws, the period for the
receipt by either company of notice of business to be brought by
shareholders before the 1995 Annual Meetings of Shareholders will commence
on December 21, 1994 and end on February 19, 1995.
Shareholder proposals intended to be included in SCEcorp's or Edison's
respective proxy statement and forms of proxy relating to their respective
1995 annual meetings must be received by SCEcorp or Edison, as the case
may be, no later than November 3, 1994, under the SEC's shareholder
proposal rule.

The SCEcorp and Edison Annual Reports on Form 10-K, including the
financial statements and the financial statement schedules, required to
be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 13a-1 of the Exchange Act, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, will be furnished without charge to
their respective shareholders upon written request. This report is
expected to be available for distribution after March 31, 1994. A copy
may be requested by writing to Treasurer's Department, Attention: Long-
Term Finance, SCEcorp, 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue, P.O. Box 999, Rosemead,
California 91770, or Treasurer's Department, Long-Term Finance, Southern
California Edison Company, 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue, P.O. Box 800,
Rosemead, California 91770, as the case may be.
OTHER MATTERS
If any matters not referred to in the proxy properly come before the
meeting, including shareholder proposals which have been excluded pursuant
to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act ("Rule 14a-8"), the persons named in
the proxy will vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with
their judgment. Discretionary authority to do so is included in the
proxy.
The SCEcorp and Edison Boards of Directors were not aware at a
reasonable time before solicitation of proxies began of any other matters
that would be presented for action at the meeting.
