NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Company is an energy and energy services provider offering physical delivery and related services for both electricity and natural gas primarily in the south central United States. The Company conducts these activities through four business segments: (i) electric utility, (ii) natural gas transportation and storage, (iii) natural gas gathering and processing and (iv) natural gas marketing. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The electric utility segment generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric energy in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Its operations are conducted through OG&E and are subject to regulation by the OCC, the APSC and the FERC. OG&E was incorporated in 1902 under the laws of the Oklahoma Territory. OG&E is the largest electric utility in Oklahoma and its franchised service territory includes the Fort Smith, Arkansas area. OG&E sold its retail natural gas business in 1928 and is no longer engaged in the natural gas distribution business.

Enogex is a provider of integrated natural gas midstream services. Enogex is engaged in the business of gathering, processing, transporting, storing and marketing natural gas. Most of Enogex’s natural gas gathering, processing, transportation and storage assets are strategically located in the Arkoma and Anadarko basins of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Enogex’s operations are organized into three business segments: (i) natural gas transportation and storage, (ii) natural gas gathering and processing and (iii) natural gas marketing. Through OGE Holdings, the Company indirectly owns an 86.7 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings, which in turn owns all of the membership interests in Enogex LLC, a Delaware single-member limited liability company (see Note 2). The Company continues to consolidate 100 percent of Enogex Holdings in its consolidated financial statements as OGE Energy has a controlling financial interest over the operations of Enogex Holdings. Prior to November 1, 2010, OER, whose primary operations are in natural gas marketing, was directly owned by OGE Energy. On November 1, 2010, OGE Energy distributed the equity interests in OER to Enogex LLC. Accordingly, the discussion that follows includes the results of OER in Enogex’s results for all periods presented. Also, Enogex LLC holds a 50 percent ownership interest in Atoka. The Company has consolidated 100 percent of Atoka in its consolidated financial statements as Enogex acts as the managing member of Atoka and has control over the operations of Atoka.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, have been included and are of a normal recurring nature except as otherwise disclosed.

Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any future period. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

Accounting Records

The accounting records of OG&E are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by the FERC and adopted by the OCC and the APSC. Additionally, OG&E, as a regulated utility, is subject to accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities, which provide that certain actual or anticipated costs that would otherwise be charged to expense can be deferred as regulatory assets, based on the expected recovery from customers in future rates. Likewise, certain actual or anticipated credits that would otherwise reduce expense can be deferred as regulatory

liabilities, based on the expected flowback to customers in future rates. Management’s expected recovery of deferred costs and flowback of deferred credits generally results from specific decisions by regulators granting such ratemaking treatment.

OG&E records certain actual or anticipated costs and obligations as regulatory assets or liabilities if it is probable, based on regulatory orders or other available evidence, that the cost or obligation will be included in amounts allowable for recovery or refund in future rates.

The following table is a summary of OG&E’s regulatory assets and liabilities at:

	March 31,		December 31,

Total Non-Current Regulatory Liabilities	$	205.6	$	193.1

(A)	Included in Other Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(B)	Included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management continuously monitors the future recoverability of regulatory assets. When in management’s judgment future recovery becomes impaired, the amount of the regulatory asset is adjusted, as appropriate. If the Company were required to discontinue the application of accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities for some or all of its operations, it could result in writing off the related regulatory assets; the financial effects of which could be significant.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to the 2011 presentation primarily related to the presentation of regulatory assets and liabilities.

As previously reported in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, in February 2011, OGE Energy and the ArcLight group made contributions of $8.0 million and $71.6 million, respectively, to fund a portion of Enogex LLC’s 2011 capital requirements. Also, on February 1, 2011, OGE Energy sold a 0.1 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings to the ArcLight affiliate for $1.9 million. As a result of these transactions, the ArcLight group has a 13.3 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings at March 31, 2011. The following table summarizes changes in OGE Energy’s equity attributable to changes in its ownership interest in Enogex Holdings during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Pursuant to the Enogex Holdings LLC Agreement, on March 1, 2011, Enogex Holdings made a quarterly distribution of $8.3 million, of which $7.5 million was OGE Holdings’ portion.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The classification of the Company’s fair value measurements requires judgment regarding the degree to which market data are observable or corroborated by observable market data. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value based on observable and unobservable data. The hierarchy categorizes the inputs into three levels, with the highest priority given to quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels defined in the fair value hierarchy and examples of each are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Instruments classified as Level 1 include natural gas futures, swaps and option transactions for contracts traded on the NYMEX and settled through a NYMEX clearing broker.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Instruments classified as Level 2 include over-the-counter NYMEX natural gas swaps, natural gas basis swaps and natural gas purchase and sales transactions in markets such that the pricing is closely related to the NYMEX pricing.

Level 3 inputs are prices or valuation techniques for the asset or liability that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Instruments classified as Level 3 include NGLs options.

The Company utilizes the market approach in determining the fair value of its derivative positions by using either NYMEX published market prices, independent broker pricing data or broker/dealer valuations. The valuations of derivatives with pricing based on NYMEX published market prices may be considered Level 1 if they are settled through a NYMEX clearing broker account with daily margining. Over-the-counter derivatives with NYMEX based prices are considered Level 2 due to the impact of counterparty credit risk. Valuations based on independent broker pricing or broker/dealer valuations may be classified as Level 2 only to the extent they may be validated by an additional source of independent market data for an identical or closely related active market. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, NGLs options contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various commodities that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3.

The impact to the fair value of derivatives due to credit risk is calculated using the probability of default based on Standard & Poor’s and/or internally generated ratings. The fair value of derivative assets is adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of derivative liabilities is adjusted for credit risk only if the impact is deemed material.

Contracts with Master Netting Arrangements

Fair value amounts recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The reporting entity’s choice to offset or not must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts, whether for the same type of conditional or exchange contract or for different types of contracts, with a single counterparty

that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has presented the fair values of its derivative contracts under master netting agreements using a net fair value presentation.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 as well as reconcile the Company’s commodity contracts fair value to PRM Assets and Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The carrying value of the financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets not otherwise discussed above approximates fair value except for long-term debt which is valued at the carrying amount. The valuation of the Company’s energy derivative contracts was determined generally based on quoted market prices. However, in certain instances where market quotes are not available, other valuation techniques or models are used to estimate market values. The valuation of instruments also considers the credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on quoted market prices and estimates of current rates available for similar issues with similar maturities.

4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed using derivatives instruments are commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company is also exposed to credit risk in its business operations.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company primarily uses forward physical contracts, commodity price swap contracts and commodity price option features to manage the Company’s commodity price risk exposures. Commodity derivative instruments used by the Company are as follows:

NGLs put options and NGLs swaps are used to manage Enogex’s NGLs exposure associated with its processing agreements;

natural gas swaps are used to manage Enogex’s keep-whole natural gas exposure associated with its processing operations and Enogex’s natural gas exposure associated with operating its gathering, transportation and storage assets;

natural gas futures and swaps and natural gas commodity purchases and sales are used to manage OER’s natural gas exposure associated with its storage and transportation contracts; and

natural gas futures and swaps, natural gas options and natural gas commodity purchases and sales are used to manage OER’s marketing and trading activities.

Normal purchases and normal sales contracts are not recorded in PRM Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and earnings recognition is recorded in the period in which physical delivery of the commodity occurs. Management applies normal purchases and normal sales treatment to: (i) commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of natural gas used in or produced by its operations, (ii) commodity contracts for the sale of NGLs produced by Enogex’s gathering and processing business, (iii) electric power contracts by OG&E and (iv) fuel procurement by OG&E.

The Company recognizes its non-exchange traded derivative instruments as PRM Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with such amounts classified as current or long-term based on their anticipated settlement. Exchange traded transactions are settled on a net basis daily through margin accounts with a clearing broker and, therefore, are recorded at fair value on a net basis in Other Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to short-term variable-rate debt and commercial paper. The Company manages its interest rate exposure by monitoring and limiting the effects of market changes in interest rates. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of these changes. Interest rate derivatives are used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to certain credit risks relating to its ongoing business operations. Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe the Company money or energy will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, the Company may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, the Company’s financial results could be adversely affected and the Company could incur losses.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and recognized into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized currently in earnings. The Company measures the ineffectiveness of commodity cash flow hedges using the change in fair value method whereby the change in the expected future cash flows designated as the hedge transaction are compared to the change in fair value of the hedging instrument. Forecasted transactions, which are designated as the hedged transaction in a cash flow hedge, are regularly evaluated to assess whether they continue to be probable of occurring. If the forecasted transactions are no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting will cease on a prospective basis and all future changes in the fair value of the derivative will be recognized directly in earnings.

The Company designates as cash flow hedges derivatives used to manage commodity price risk exposure for Enogex’s NGLs volumes and corresponding keep-whole natural gas resulting from its natural gas processing contracts (processing hedges) and natural gas positions resulting from its natural gas gathering and processing, pipeline and storage operations (operational gas hedges). The Company also designates as cash flow hedges certain derivatives used to manage natural gas commodity exposure for certain natural gas storage inventory positions. Maturities of Enogex’s cash flow hedging activity at March 31, 2011 occur during 2011.

Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedge risk are recognized currently in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in Operating Revenues as the offsetting loss or gain on the related hedging derivative.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no derivative instruments that were designated as fair value hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are utilized in OER’s asset management, marketing and trading activities. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings.

7. Income Taxes

The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007 or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2002. Income taxes are generally allocated to each company in the affiliated group based on its stand-alone taxable income or loss. Federal investment tax credits previously claimed on electric utility property have been deferred and are being amortized to income over the life of the related property. The Company continues to amortize its Federal investment tax credits on a ratable basis throughout the year. OG&E earns both Federal and Oklahoma state tax credits associated with the production from its wind farms. In addition, OG&E and Enogex earn Oklahoma state tax credits associated with their investments in electric generating and natural gas processing facilities which further reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

8. Common Equity

DRIP/DSPP

The Company issued 80,997 shares of common stock under its DRIP/DSPP during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and received proceeds of $3.8 million. The Company may, from time to time, issue additional shares under its DRIP/DSPP to fund capital requirements or working capital needs. At March 31, 2011, there were 2,565,291 shares of unissued common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s DRIP/DSPP.

9. Long-Term Debt

At March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt agreements.

OG&E has tax-exempt pollution control bonds with optional redemption provisions that allow the holders to request repayment of the bonds at various dates prior to the maturity. The bonds, which can be tendered at the option of the holder during the next 12 months, are as follows:

SERIES	DATE DUE	AMOUNT
		(In millions)
0.39% - 0.44%	Garfield Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025	$	47.0
0.38% - 0.44%	Muskogee Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025		32.4
0.50% - 0.50%	Muskogee Industrial Authority, June 1, 2027		56.0
Total (redeemable during next 12 months)		$	135.4

All of these bonds are subject to an optional tender at the request of the holders, at 100 percent of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The bond holders, on any business day, can request repayment of the bond by delivering an irrevocable notice to the tender agent stating the principal amount of the bond, payment instructions for the purchase price and the business day the bond is to be purchased. The repayment option may only be exercised by the holder of a bond for the principal amount. When a tender notice has been received by the trustee, a third party remarketing agent for the bonds will attempt to remarket any bonds tendered for purchase. This process occurs once per week. Since the original issuance of these series of bonds in 1995 and 1997, the remarketing agent has successfully remarketed all tendered bonds. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket any such bonds, OG&E is obligated to repurchase such unremarketed bonds. As OG&E has both the intent and ability to refinance the bonds on a long-term basis and such ability is supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing, the bonds are classified as long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. OG&E believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations.

10. Short-Term Debt and Credit Facilities

The Company borrows on a short-term basis, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and by borrowings under its revolving credit agreements. The short-term debt balance was $237.2 million and $145.0 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The following table provides information regarding the Company’s revolving credit agreements and available cash at March 31, 2011.

(C)	This bank facility is available to back up OG&E’s commercial paper borrowings and to provide revolving credit borrowings. This bank facility can also be used as a letter of credit facility. At March 31, 2011, there was $0.3 million supporting letters of credit.
(D)	Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreements, commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit.
(E)	This bank facility is available to provide revolving credit borrowings for Enogex LLC. As Enogex LLC’s credit agreement matures on March 31, 2013, along with its intent in utilizing its credit agreement, borrowings thereunder are classified as long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 1, 2011, OG&E posted letters of credit with the SPP of $1.9 million related to OG&E’s portion of upgrade costs to the transmission system to allow the 150 MW CPV Keenan wind farm and the 130 MW Edison Mission Energy wind farm to operate at full capacity for OG&E’s system load.

The Company’s ability to access the commercial paper market could be adversely impacted by a credit ratings downgrade or major market disruptions. Pricing grids associated with the Company’s credit facilities could cause annual fees and borrowing rates to increase if an adverse ratings impact occurs. The impact of any future downgrade could include an increase in the costs of the Company’s short-term borrowings, but a reduction in the Company’s credit ratings would not result in any defaults or accelerations. Any future downgrade of the Company could also lead to higher long-term borrowing costs and, if below investment grade, would require the Company to post cash collateral or letters of credit.

Unlike OGE Energy and Enogex, OG&E must obtain regulatory approval from the FERC in order to borrow on a short-term basis. OG&E has the necessary regulatory approvals to incur up to $800 million in short-term borrowings at any one time for a two-year period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2012.

Pension Plan Funding

The Company previously disclosed in its 2010 Form 10-K that it may contribute up to $50 million to its Pension Plan during 2011. In April 2011, the Company contributed $20 million to its Pension Plan and currently expects to contribute an additional $30 million during the remainder of 2011. Any remaining expected contributions to its Pension Plan during 2011 would be discretionary contributions, anticipated to be in the form of cash, and are not required to satisfy the minimum regulatory funding requirement specified by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Postretirement Benefit Plan (Retiree Medical)

In January 2011, the Company adopted amendments to its retiree medical plan. Effective January 1, 2012, medical costs for pre-65 aged eligible retirees will be fixed at the 2011 level and the Company will cover future annual medical inflationary cost increases up to five percent. Increases in excess of five percent annually will be covered by the pre-65 aged retiree in the form of premium increases. Also, effective January 1, 2012, the Company will supplement Medicare coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees, providing them a fixed stipend based on the Company’s expected average 2011 premium for medical and drug coverage, and allow those Medicare-eligible retirees to acquire coverage from a Company-provided third-party administrator. The effect of these plan amendments is reflected in the Company’s March 31, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a reduction to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $91.3 million, an increase in other comprehensive income of $16.9 million and a reduction to OG&E’s benefit obligations regulatory asset of $74.4 million (see Note 1).

12. Report of Business Segments

The Company’s business is divided into four segments for financial reporting purposes. These segments are as follows: (i) electric utility, which is engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy, (ii) natural gas transportation and storage, (iii) natural gas gathering and processing and (iv) natural gas marketing. Other Operations primarily includes the operations of the holding company. Intersegment revenues are recorded at prices comparable to those of unaffiliated customers and are affected by regulatory considerations. In reviewing its segment operating results, the Company focuses on operating income as its measure of segment profit and loss, and, therefore, has presented this information below. The following tables summarize the results of the Company’s business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Except as set forth below and in Note 14, the circumstances set forth in Notes 14 and 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of the Company’s material commitments and contingent liabilities.

OG&E Railcar Lease Agreement

OG&E has a noncancellable operating lease with purchase options, covering 1,446 coal hopper railcars to transport coal from Wyoming to OG&E’s coal-fired generation units. Rental payments are charged to Fuel Expense and are recovered through OG&E’s tariffs and fuel adjustment clauses. On December 15, 2010, OG&E renewed the lease agreement effective February 1, 2011. At the end of the new lease term, which is February 1, 2016, OG&E has the option to either purchase the railcars at a stipulated fair market value or renew the lease. If OG&E chooses not to purchase the railcars or renew the lease agreement and the actual fair value of the railcars is less than the stipulated fair market value, OG&E would be responsible for the difference in those values up to a maximum of $23.7 million.

On February 10, 2009, OG&E executed a short-term lease agreement for 270 railcars in accordance with new coal transportation contracts with BNSF Railway and Union Pacific. These railcars were needed to replace railcars that have been taken out of service or destroyed. The lease agreement expired with respect to 135 railcars on November 2, 2009 and was not replaced. The lease agreement with respect to the remaining 135 railcars expired on March 5, 2010 and is continuing on a month-to-month basis with a 30-day notice required by either party to terminate the agreement.

OG&E is also required to maintain all of the railcars it has under lease to transport coal from Wyoming and has entered into agreements with Progress Rail Services and WATCO, both of which are non-affiliated companies, to furnish this maintenance.

OG&E Wholesale Agreement

On May 28, 2009, OG&E sent a termination notice to the Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative that OG&E would terminate its wholesale power agreement to all points of delivery where OG&E sells or has sold power to the Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative, effective November 30, 2011. In December 2010, OG&E and the Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative entered into a new wholesale power agreement whereby OG&E will supply wholesale power to the Arkansas

Valley Electric Cooperative through June 2015. On January 3, 2011, OG&E submitted this agreement to the FERC for approval. The FERC approved the new wholesale power agreement on March 2, 2011 and the new contract was effective May 1, 2011. The Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative contract contributed $17.4 million, or 1.5 percent, to OG&E’s gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2010. The new Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative contract is expected to add approximately $4 million in additional gross margin from May through December 2011 over the prior contract.

Other

In the normal course of business, the Company is confronted with issues or events that may result in a contingent liability. These generally relate to lawsuits, claims made by third parties, environmental actions or the action of various regulatory agencies. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other appropriate experts to assess the claim. If in management’s opinion, the Company has incurred a probable loss as set forth by GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss and the appropriate accounting entries are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as otherwise stated above, in Note 14 below, in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q, in Notes 14 and 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 3 of Part I of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not currently anticipate that liabilities arising out of these pending or threatened lawsuits, claims and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. Rate Matters and Regulation

Except as set forth below, the circumstances set forth in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of any regulatory matters.

Completed Regulatory Matter

OG&E SPP Cost Tracker

On October 7, 2010, OG&E filed an application with the OCC seeking recovery of the Oklahoma jurisdictional portion of (i) costs associated with transmission upgrades and facilities that have been approved by the SPP in its regional planning processes and constructed by other non-OG&E transmission owners throughout the SPP that have been allocated to OG&E through the FERC-approved transmission rates and (ii) SPP administrative fees. OG&E requested authorization to implement a cost tracker in order to recover from its retail customers the third-party project costs discussed above and to collect its administrative SPP cost assessment levied under Schedule 1A of the SPP open access transmission tariff, which is currently recovered in base rates. OG&E also requested authorization to establish a regulatory asset effective January 1, 2011 in order to give OG&E the opportunity to recover such costs that will be paid but not recovered until the cost tracker is made effective. On February 8, 2011, all parties signed a settlement agreement in this matter which would allow OG&E to recover the costs discussed in (i) above through a recovery rider effective January 1, 2011. OG&E anticipates recovering $1.8 million of incremental revenues in 2011 through the rider. Rather than including the costs of the SPP administrative fee assessment in the recovery rider, the stipulating parties agreed to allow OG&E to include the projected 2012 level of the SPP administrative fee assessment in its anticipated Oklahoma rate case to be filed in the summer of 2011. The settlement agreement also stated that in OG&E’s 2011 Oklahoma general rate case filing, OG&E would propose that recovery in base rates for the costs of transmission projects it constructs and owns and that are authorized by the SPP in its regional planning processes should be limited to the Oklahoma retail jurisdictional share of the costs for such projects allocated to OG&E by the SPP. On March 28, 2011, the OCC issued an order in this matter approving the settlement agreement.

Pending Regulatory Matters

OG&E 2010 Arkansas Rate Case Filing

On September 28, 2010, OG&E filed a rate case with the APSC requesting a rate increase of $17.7 million, to recover the cost of significant electric system expansions and upgrades, including high-voltage transmission lines and wind energy, that have been completed since the last rate filing in August 2008, as well as rising operating costs. OG&E also sought recovery, through a rider, of the Arkansas jurisdictional portion of (i) costs associated with transmission upgrades and facilities that have been approved by the SPP in its regional planning processes and constructed by other non-OG&E transmission owners throughout the SPP that have been allocated to OG&E through the FERC-approved transmission rates and (ii) SPP administrative fees. On March 15, 2011, the APSC Staff filed its recommendation, which included a $4.8 million rate increase and approval of the SPP rider for third-party transmission charges and SPP administrative fees. OG&E filed its rebuttal testimony on April 5, 2011. On April 26, 2011, the APSC Staff filed surrebuttal testimony, which included

support for an $8.8 million rate increase and recommended approval of an SPP rider for recovery of third-party transmission charges and SPP administrative fees of $0.8 million. The Arkansas office of the Attorney General and other parties to the proceeding have not agreed to the $9.6 million rate increase recommended by the APSC Staff. A hearing in this matter is scheduled for May 24, 2011.

Review of OG&E’s Fuel Adjustment Clause for Calendar Year 2009

On October 29, 2010, the OCC Staff filed an application for a public hearing to review and monitor OG&E’s application of the 2009 fuel adjustment clause. On December 28, 2010, OG&E responded by filing the necessary information and documents to satisfy the OCC’s minimum filing requirement rules. An intervenor representing a group of OG&E’s industrial customers filed testimony on March 11, 2011 seeking a $15.5 million refund related to (i) a purported failure by OG&E to maximize the use of its coal-fired power plants and (ii) an inappropriate extension of the existing natural gas supply agreement between OG&E and Enogex. OG&E filed rebuttal testimony on April 4, 2011 in opposition to the claims of the intervenor. A hearing in this matter is scheduled for June 23, 2011.

OG&E Smart Grid Project

As previously reported in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, on December 17, 2010, OG&E filed an application with the APSC requesting pre-approval for system-wide deployment of smart grid technology and a recovery rider, including a credit for the Smart Grid grant. A hearing in this matter is scheduled for June 27, 2011. OG&E expects to receive a decision from the APSC during the third quarter of 2011.

OG&E FERC Transmission Rate Incentive Filing

On February 18, 2011, OG&E submitted to the FERC a request seeking limited transmission rate incentives for five transmission projects. This February 18, 2011 request is in addition to the October 12, 2010 request described in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. OG&E requested recovery of 100 percent of all prudently incurred construction work in progress in rate base for five 345 kV EHV transmission projects to be constructed and owned by OG&E within the SPP’s region. OG&E also requested to recover 100 percent of all prudently incurred development and construction costs if the transmission projects are abandoned or cancelled, in whole or in part, for reasons beyond OG&E’s control. On April 19, 2011, the FERC granted these incentives for the Sooner-Rose Hill, Sunnyside-Hugo and Balanced Portfolio 3E transmission projects discussed in Note 15 of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

OG&E Pension Tracker Modification Filing

On February 22, 2011, OG&E filed an application with the OCC requesting that OG&E’s pension tracker be modified to include the difference between the level of retiree medical costs authorized in OG&E’s last rate case and the current level of these expenses as a regulatory liability, effective January 1, 2011. A procedural schedule has not been established in this matter.

OG&E Demand and Energy Efficiency Program Filing

To build on the success of its earlier programs and further promote energy efficiency and conservation for each class of OG&E customers, on March 15, 2011, OG&E filed an application with the APSC seeking approval of several programs, ranging from residential weatherization to commercial lighting. In seeking approval of these programs, OG&E also seeks recovery of the program and related costs through a rider that would be added to customers’ electric bills. In Arkansas, OG&E’s program is expected to cost $7 million over a three-year period and is expected to increase the average residential electric bill by $1.47 per month. A hearing in this matter is scheduled for May 16, 2011.

Enogex FERC Section 311 2007 Rate Case

On October 1, 2007, Enogex made its required triennial rate filing at the FERC to update its Section 311 maximum interruptible transportation rates for Section 311 service in the East Zone and West Zone. Enogex’s filing requested an increase in the maximum zonal rates and proposed to place such rates into effect on January 1, 2008. A number of parties intervened and some also filed protests. Enogex did not place the increased rates set forth in its October 2007 rate filing into effect but rather continued to provide interruptible Section 311 service under the maximum Section 311 rates for both zones approved by the FERC in the previous rate case. A final settlement was filed with the FERC on August 5, 2010 and an order is pending. With the filing of Enogex’s 2009 rate case discussed below, the rate period for the 2007 rate case became a limited locked-in period from January 2008 through May 2009.

On November 13, 2007, one of the protesting intervenors filed to consolidate the Enogex 2007 rate case with a separate Enogex application pending before the FERC allowing Enogex to lease firm capacity to MEP and with separate applications filed by MEP with the FERC for a certificate to construct and operate the MEP pipeline and to lease firm capacity from Enogex. Enogex and MEP separately opposed this intervenor’s protests and assertions in its initial and subsequent pleadings. On July 25, 2008, the FERC issued an order (i) approving the MEP project including the approval of a limited jurisdiction certificate and (ii) authorizing the Enogex lease agreement with MEP. Accordingly, Enogex proceeded with the construction of facilities necessary to implement this service. On August 25, 2008, a protestor sought rehearing which the FERC denied. Enogex commenced service to MEP under the lease agreement on June 1, 2009. On July 16, 2009, the protestor filed, with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a petition for review of the FERC’s orders approving the MEP construction and the MEP lease of capacity from Enogex requesting that such orders be modified or set aside on the grounds that they are arbitrary, capricious and contrary to law. On December 28, 2010, the Court of Appeals issued an opinion generally upholding the FERC’s orders, but remanding the case for further explanation of one aspect of the FERC’s reasoning. The Court of Appeals emphasized that it was not vacating the FERC’s orders and that its approval of the Enogex lease agreement with MEP remains in effect and legally binding. On remand, the FERC must clarify that its decision was based on a finding that the lease does not adversely affect existing customers on Enogex’s system. Enogex anticipates that the FERC will issue an order on remand in the first half of 2011. On January 21, 2011, Apache Corporation filed a motion asking the FERC to establish procedures on remand and to either condition the lease on Enogex’s willingness to provide firm Section 311 transportation service to existing customers on all portions of its system or to establish an expedited briefing schedule. On February 7, 2011, Enogex, MEP and Chesapeake Energy Corporation filed a joint answer asking the FERC to find, among other things, that the reduction in the amount of interruptible transportation capacity available due to the MEP lease did not have an adverse affect on Apache Corporation and to acknowledge that Apache Corporation’s request to condition the lease on the provision of West Zone 311 firm transportation service has been addressed as Enogex filed a rate case on January 28, 2011 proposing to implement such service effective March 1, 2011. On March 1, 2011, Apache Corporation filed an answer seeking to refute some of the arguments presented in the joint answer filed by Enogex, MEP and Chesapeake Energy Corporation. On March 3, 2011, the FERC issued an order on remand affirming the authorizations previously granted to Enogex and MEP and clarifying the legal standard applied in response to the court’s directive. On April 4, 2011, Apache Corporation filed a request for rehearing of the FERC’s order on remand. Once the FERC acts on Apache Corporation’s request for rehearing, the order on remand and the order on rehearing become subject to appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Enogex FERC Section 311 2009 Rate Case

On March 27, 2009, Enogex filed a petition for rate approval with the FERC to set the maximum rates for its new firm East Zone Section 311 transportation service and to revise the rates for its existing East and West Zone interruptible Section 311 transportation service. In anticipation of offering this new service, Enogex had filed with the FERC, as required by the FERC’s regulations, a revised SOC Applicable to Transportation Services to describe the terms, conditions and operating arrangements for the new service. Enogex made the SOC filing on February 27, 2009. Enogex began offering firm East Zone Section 311 transportation service on April 1, 2009. The revised East and West Zone zonal rates for the Section 311 interruptible transportation service became effective June 1, 2009. The rates for the firm East Zone Section 311 transportation service and the increase in the rates for East and West Zone and interruptible Section 311 service are being collected, subject to refund, pending the FERC approval of the proposed rates. A number of parties intervened in both the rate case and the SOC filing and some additionally filed protests. On January 4, 2010, the FERC Staff submitted an offer proposing various adjustments to Enogex’s filed cost of service. On April 27, 2010, Enogex submitted comments to the FERC Staff stating that it would agree to the offer, contingent upon all parties agreeing to support or not oppose. Parties have until June 6, 2011 to submit comments stating whether they support, or do not oppose, the FERC Staff’s offer.

Enogex FERC Section 311 2011 Rate Case

On January 28, 2011, Enogex submitted a new rate filing to the FERC to set the maximum rate for a new firm Section 311 transportation service in the West Zone of its system and to revise the currently effective maximum rates for Section 311 interruptible transportation service in the East Zone and West Zone. Along with establishing the rate for a new firm service in the West Zone, Enogex’s filing requested a decrease in the maximum interruptible zonal rates in the West Zone and to retain the currently effective rates for firm and interruptible services in the East Zone. Enogex reserved the right to implement the higher rates for firm and interruptible services in the East Zone supported by the cost of service to the extent an expeditious settlement agreement cannot be reached in the proceeding. Enogex proposed that the rates be placed into effect on March 1, 2011. On April 28, 2011, Enogex filed a motion with the FERC requesting an additional extension of the May 4, 2011 protest deadline until June 6, 2011. The regulations provide that the FERC has 150 days to act on the filing but also permit the FERC to issue an order extending the time period for action. No action has yet been taken by the FERC.

Enogex 2011 Fuel Filing

On February 28, 2011, Enogex submitted its annual fuel filing to establish the fixed fuel percentages for its East Zone and West Zone for the upcoming fuel year (April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012). Along with the revised fuel percentages, Enogex also requested authority to revise its SOC to permanently change the annual filing date to February 28. The deadline for interventions and protests on Enogex’s filing was March 15, 2011, and no protests were filed. A FERC order is pending.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

Enogex is a provider of integrated natural gas midstream services. Enogex is engaged in the business of gathering, processing, transporting, storing and marketing natural gas. Most of Enogex’s natural gas gathering, processing, transportation and storage assets are strategically located in the Arkoma and Anadarko basins of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Enogex’s operations are organized into three business segments: (i) natural gas transportation and storage, (ii) natural gas gathering and processing and (iii) natural gas marketing. Through OGE Holdings, the Company indirectly owns an 86.7 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings, which in turn owns all of the membership interests in Enogex LLC. Prior to November 1, 2010, OER, whose primary operations are in natural gas marketing, was directly owned by OGE Energy. On November 1, 2010, OGE Energy distributed the equity interests in OER to Enogex LLC. Accordingly, the discussion that follows includes the results of OER in Enogex’s results for all periods presented. Enogex LLC’s holdings also include a 50 percent ownership interest in Atoka.

Overview

Financial Strategy

The Company’s mission is to fulfill its critical role in the nation’s electric utility and natural gas midstream pipeline infrastructure and meet individual customers’ needs for energy and related services in a safe, reliable and efficient manner. The Company intends to execute its vision by focusing on its regulated electric utility business and unregulated natural gas midstream business. The Company intends to maintain the majority of its assets in the regulated utility business, however, the Company anticipates significant growth opportunities for its natural gas midstream business. With respect to its natural gas midstream business, the Company intends to focus on growing products and services with limited or manageable commodity price exposure and intends to seek to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices by continuing to increase the percentage that fee-based processing agreements represent of the total processing volumes. The Company’s financial objectives include a long-term annual earnings growth rate of five to seven percent on a weather-normalized basis, maintaining a strong credit rating as well as increasing the dividend to meet the Company’s dividend payout objectives. The target payout ratio for the Company is to pay out as dividends no more than 60 percent of its normalized earnings on an annual basis. The target payout ratio has been determined after consideration of numerous factors, including the largely retail composition of the Company’s shareholder base, the Company’s financial position, the Company’s growth targets, the composition of the Company’s assets and investment opportunities. The Company believes it can accomplish these financial objectives by, among other things, pursuing multiple avenues to build its business, maintaining a diversified asset position, continuing to develop a wide range of skills to succeed with changes in its industries, providing products and services to customers efficiently, managing risks effectively and maintaining strong regulatory and legislative relationships.

Summary of Operating Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Net income attributable to OGE Energy was $24.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $24.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, during the same period in 2010. Included in net income attributable to OGE Energy for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was a one-time, non-cash charge of $11.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to the elimination of the tax deduction for the Medicare Part D subsidy (as previously reported in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K). The increase in net income attributable to OGE Energy of $0.6 million, or 2.5 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to:

an increase in net income at OG&E of $5.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share of the Company’s common stock, primarily due to a higher gross margin primarily from the implementation of rate riders and lower income tax expense related to the Medicare Part D subsidy discussed above partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense;

a decrease in net income at Enogex of $8.6 million or 31.4 percent, or $0.09 per diluted share of the Company’s common stock, primarily due to a lower gross margin. Gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2010 included the recovery of prior years’ under-recovered fuel positions (which increased the first quarter 2010 gross margin by $6.7 million) and operational storage hedging activity (which increased the first quarter 2010 gross margin by $2.4 million), neither of which occurred in the first quarter of 2011. Higher operation and maintenance expense as well as the equity sale of a membership interest in Enogex Holdings to the ArcLight group also contributed to the decrease in net income. These factors were partially offset by lower income tax expense related to the Medicare Part D subsidy discussed above; and

an increase in net income at OGE Energy of $4.0 million or 92.3 percent, or $0.04 per diluted share of the Company’s common stock, primarily due to a higher income tax benefit related to the Medicare Part D subsidy discussed above.

Recent Developments and Regulatory Matters

OG&E SPP Cost Tracker

On March 28, 2011, the OCC approved OG&E’s request to recover, through a cost tracker, the Oklahoma jurisdictional portion of costs associated with transmission upgrades and facilities that have been approved by the SPP in its regional planning processes and constructed by other non-OG&E transmission owners throughout the SPP that have been allocated to OG&E through the FERC-approved transmission rates. OG&E anticipates recovering $1.8 million of incremental revenues in 2011 through the rider. OG&E had requested the inclusion of the incremental SPP administrative fee assessment in the recovery rider. Rather than including these costs in the recovery rider, OG&E will include the projected 2012 level of the SPP administrative fee assessment in its anticipated Oklahoma rate case to be filed in the summer of 2011.

Enogex Sale of Harrah Processing Plant and Certain Gathering Assets

On April 1, 2011, Enogex completed the sale of its Harrah processing plant (38 MMcf/d of capacity) and the associated Wellston and Davenport gathering assets. The proceeds from the sale were approximately $16.1 million and Enogex expects to record a pre-tax gain in the second quarter of 2011 of approximately $3.0 million.

2011 Outlook

The Company’s 2011 earnings guidance remains unchanged and is between $299 million and $318 million of net income, or $3.00 to $3.20 per average diluted share. NGLs prices have strengthened significantly since the Company released its 2011 earnings guidance in February. Should prices of NGLs remain at their current levels for the balance of the year and if the other assumptions in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K underlying the Company’s 2011 earnings guidance for Enogex remain on target, then the Company would expect Enogex to exceed the upper end of its stated range for 2011 of $0.90 to $1.05 of earnings per average diluted share. In addition, Enogex continues to pursue its stated plan to reduce its commodity price exposure by increasing the percentage that fee-based processing arrangements represent of its total processing volumes. Enogex is currently negotiating renewals/extensions of its gathering and processing contracts with one of Enogex’s larger customers that would increase the area dedicated to Enogex for gathering and processing for an extended term and would change the processing arrangement from keep-whole to fixed-fee. To the extent Enogex is successful in

these negotiations, Enogex would forego the short-term benefits that might otherwise be expected as a result of strong commodity prices under a keep-whole arrangement. As a result, if Enogex is successful in these negotiations and if the other assumptions in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K underlying the Company’s 2011 earnings guidance for Enogex remain on target, then the Company would expect Enogex to be at the lower end of the guidance range of $0.90 to $1.05 of earnings per average diluted share for 2011. Despite the potential for lower earnings during times of high NGLs prices, the Company believes that new long-term gathering and processing agreements with fixed-fee processing arrangements are in the best interests of its shareholders. Please see the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K for the key factors and assumptions underlying its 2011 earnings guidance.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Operating Income

OG&E’s operating income decreased $5.9 million, or 18.5 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expense partially offset by a higher gross margin as discussed below.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $202.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $193.2 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $9.5 million, or 4.9 percent. The gross margin increased primarily due to:

increased price variance, which included revenues from various rate riders, including the Windspeed rider, the Oklahoma demand program rider, the Smart Grid rider, the system hardening rider and the OU Spirit rider, and higher revenues from sales and customer mix, which increased the gross margin by $11.3 million;

higher demand and related revenues by non-residential customers in OG&E’s service territory, which increased the gross margin by $2.5 million; and

new customer growth in OG&E’s service territory, which increased the gross margin by $1.5 million.

These increases in the gross margin were partially offset by:

milder weather in OG&E’s service territory, which decreased the gross margin by $3.4 million; and

lower other revenues due to lower SO2 allowance sales and fewer transmission requests from others on OG&E’s system, which decreased the gross margin by $2.4 million.

Cost of goods sold for OG&E consists of fuel used in electric generation, purchased power and transmission related charges. Fuel expense was $171.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $198.6 million during the same period in 2010, a decrease of $27.5 million, or 13.8 percent, primarily due to lower natural gas prices and lower natural gas generation. OG&E’s electric generating capability is fairly evenly divided between coal and natural gas and provides for flexibility to use either fuel to the best economic advantage for the Company and its customers. Purchased power costs were $46.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $51.7 million during the same period in 2010, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 10.3 percent, primarily due to a decrease in purchases in the energy imbalance service market and a decrease in cogeneration costs due to maintenance at one of the cogeneration plants in the first quarter of 2011 partially offset by an increase in short-term power purchases.

Variances in the actual cost of fuel used in electric generation and certain purchased power costs, as compared to the fuel component included in the cost-of-service for ratemaking, are passed through to OG&E’s customers through fuel adjustment clauses. The fuel adjustment clauses are subject to periodic review by the OCC, the APSC and the FERC. The OCC, the APSC and the FERC have authority to review the appropriateness of gas transportation charges or other fees OG&E pays to Enogex.

Operating Expenses

Other operation and maintenance expenses were $105.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $93.9 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $11.9 million, or 12.7 percent. The increase in other operation and maintenance expenses was primarily due to:

an increase of $5.1 million in payroll and benefits expense and information technology support allocated from the holding company;

an increase of $3.3 million in other marketing and sales expense related to demand-side management initiatives, which expenses are being recovered through a rider;

an increase of $3.0 million in activity costs related to less work being capitalized in the first quarter of 2011; and

an increase of $1.2 million in contract technical and construction services expense and an increase of $0.5 million in materials and supplies expense primarily attributable to increased spending for ongoing maintenance at some of OG&E’s power plants in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

These increases in other operation and maintenance expenses were partially offset by:

a decrease of $1.5 million in overtime expense primarily due to the January 2010 ice storm; and

a decrease of $1.4 million in injuries and damages expense primarily due to lower reserves on claims in the first quarter of 2011.

Additional Information

Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction. AEFUDC was $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2.3 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $2.1 million, or 91.3 percent, primarily due to construction costs for Crossroads partially offset by the completion of the Windspeed transmission line on March 31, 2010.

Other Income. Other income was $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2.5 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $2.5 million, or 100.0 percent. The increase in other income was primarily due to:

an increase of $1.3 million related to the benefit associated with the tax gross-up of AEFUDC; and

an increase of $1.1 million due to an increased level of gains recognized in the GFB program during the first quarter of 2011 from more customers participating in the GFB program during the first quarter of 2011 and lower than expected usage resulting from milder weather.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $10.7 million during the same period in 2010, a decrease of $8.3 million, or 77.6 percent. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to:

lower pre-tax income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010; and

the one-time, non-cash charge during the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the elimination of the tax deduction for the Medicare Part D subsidy.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Operating Income

Enogex’s operating income decreased $15.4 million, or 27.0 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of the recovery of prior years’ under-recovered fuel positions in the first quarter of 2010 and lower natural gas prices partially offset by higher NGLs prices and increased volumes associated with expansion projects. In the normal course of Enogex’s business, the operation of its gathering, processing and transportation assets results in the creation of physical natural gas long/short positions. These physical positions can result from gas imbalances, actual versus contractual settlement differences, fuel tracker obligations and natural gas received in-kind for compensation or reimbursements. Enogex actively manages its monthly net position through either selling excess gas or purchasing additional gas needs from third parties through OER. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, volume changes and realized margin on physical gas long/short positions decreased the gross margin by $10.1 million, net of corresponding imbalance and fuel tracker obligations.

Other operation and maintenance expense increased $3.4 million, or 10.1 percent, primarily due to remediation projects in the first quarter of 2011 and higher incentive compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 6.2 percent, primarily due to additional assets placed into service throughout 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.

Transportation and Storage

The transportation and storage business contributed $36.2 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $44.9 million in the same period in 2010, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 19.4 percent. The transportation operations contributed $28.1 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $33.8 million in the same period in 2010. The storage operations contributed $8.1 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $11.1 million in the same period in 2010. The transportation and storage gross margin decreased primarily due to:

lower volumes and realized margin on sales of physical natural gas long/short positions associated with transportation operations in the first quarter of 2011. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2010 included the recovery of prior year fuel under-recoveries, which increased the first quarter 2010 gross margin by $6.7 million, net of imbalance and fuel tracker obligations; and

lower realized margins on operational storage hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, Enogex realized gains on operational storage hedges, which increased the first quarter 2010 gross margin by $2.4 million. There was no comparable activity in the first quarter of 2011.

Other operation and maintenance expense for the transportation and storage business was $1.9 million, or 17.3 percent, lower during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in non-capital maintenance activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 partially offset by higher incentive compensation.

Gathering and Processing

The gathering and processing business contributed $70.4 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $67.9 million in the same period in 2010, an increase of $2.5 million, or 3.7 percent. The gathering operations contributed $28.5 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $30.1 million in the same period in 2010. The processing operations contributed $41.9 million of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $37.8 million in the same period in 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, Enogex realized a higher gross margin in its gathering and processing operations primarily as the result of continued growth in gathered volumes and higher NGLs prices partially offset by lower natural gas prices, net of Enogex’s continued effort to convert customers from keep-whole to fixed-fee processing arrangements. Enogex’s processing plants saw a 2.1 percent increase in inlet volumes and an increase in NGLs production as recent expansion projects, primarily in the Granite Wash play and Cana/Woodford Shale play, have added richer natural gas to Enogex’s system. These increases in volumes were partially offset by the 120 MMcf/d Cox City natural gas processing plant being out of service due to the fire in December 2010. Overall, the above factors resulted in an increased gross margin on keep-whole processing of $0.9 million.

Other factors that contributed to the increase in the gathering and processing gross margin were:

an increase in condensate revenues associated with higher condensate prices, which increased the gross margin by $3.7 million; and

increased gathered volumes associated with expansion projects, which increased the gross margin by $1.8 million.

These increases in the gathering and processing gross margin were partially offset by:

lower volumes and realized margin on sales of physical natural gas long/short positions associated with gathering operations, which decreased the gross margin by $3.4 million, net of imbalance and fuel tracker obligations; and

lower residue gas sales as the result of lower natural gas prices and lower gathered volumes from the Atoka area, which decreased the gross margin by $1.0 million.

Other operation and maintenance expense for the gathering and processing business was $5.5 million, or 25.8 percent, higher during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to remediation projects in the first quarter of 2011, higher incentive compensation and an increase in non-capital maintenance activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Marketing

The marketing business recognized a loss of $1.2 million as part of Enogex’s consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a gain of $1.4 million in 2010, a decrease of $2.6 million, primarily due to lower realized gains from the withdrawal and sale of natural gas inventory from OER’s storage contracts during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Enogex Consolidated Information

Interest Expense. Enogex’s consolidated interest expense was $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $8.5 million during the same period in 2010, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 24.7 percent, primarily due to:

a decrease of $1.0 million in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the retirement of long-term debt in January 2010; and

an increase of $0.9 million in capitalized interest related to increased construction activity during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Income Tax Expense. Enogex’s consolidated income tax expense was $11.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $20.1 million during the same period in 2010, a decrease of $8.7 million or 43.3 percent. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to:

lower pre-tax income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010; and

the one-time, non-cash charge during the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the elimination of the tax deduction for the Medicare Part-D subsidy

Noncontrolling Interest. Enogex’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $4.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1.0 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $3.8 million, due to the equity sale of a membership interest in Enogex Holdings to the ArcLight group.

Financial Condition

The balance of Fuel Inventories was $139.6 million and $158.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, a decrease of $19.2 million, or 12.1 percent, primarily due to a lower coal inventory at OG&E due to lower volumes and lower average prices and a lower natural gas inventory at OER due to lower volumes and lower average prices.

The balance of Construction Work in Progress was $550.7 million and $460.0 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, an increase of $90.7 million, or 19.7 percent, primarily due to increased spending on various transmission projects and Crossroads at OG&E and gathering and processing expansion projects at Enogex.

The balance of Regulatory Assets was $412.1 million and $489.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, a decrease of $77.3 million, or 15.8 percent, primarily due to amendments to the Company’s retiree medical plan adopted in January 2011 (see Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion).

The balance of Short-Term Debt was $237.2 million and $145.0 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, an increase of $92.2 million, or 63.6 percent, primarily due to an increase in commercial paper borrowings in the first quarter of 2011 for dividend and bond interest payments, capital expenditures for various transmission projects and Crossroads at OG&E and gathering and processing expansion projects at Enogex and daily operational needs partially offset by proceeds received from the contribution from the ArcLight group in February 2011 and the equity sale of a 0.1 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings to the ArcLight affiliate in February 2011, a portion of which were used to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

The balance of Accrued Taxes was $23.8 million and $39.3 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 39.4 percent, primarily due to ad valorem tax payments in the first quarter of 2011.

The balance of Accrued Interest was $30.5 million and $53.1 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, a decrease of $22.6 million, or 42.6 percent, primarily due to the timing of interest payments on long-term debt in the first quarter of 2011 partially offset by interest accrued on long-term debt in the first quarter of 2011.

The balance of Accrued Benefit Obligations was $285.0 million and $372.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, a decrease of $87.4 million, or 23.5 percent, primarily due to amendments to the Company’s retiree medical plan adopted in January 2011 (see Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion) partially offset by accruals for pension and postretirement benefits expense.

The balance of Noncontrolling Interests was $158.3 million and $110.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, an increase of $47.9 million, or 43.4 percent, primarily due to the contribution from the ArcLight group in February 2011 and the equity sale of a 0.1 percent membership interest in Enogex Holdings to the ArcLight affiliate in February 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements from those discussed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

OG&E Railcar Lease Agreement

February 1, 2011. At the end of the new lease term, which is February 1, 2016, OG&E has the option to either purchase the railcars at a stipulated fair market value or renew the lease. If OG&E chooses not to purchase the railcars or renew the lease agreement and the actual fair value of the railcars is less than the stipulated fair market value, OG&E would be responsible for the difference in those values up to a maximum of $23.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions)	2011		2010
Net cash provided from operating activities	$	76.3	$	116.0
Net cash used in investing activities		(182.0)		(130.6)
Net cash provided from (used in) financing activities		107.4		(37.8)

The decrease of $39.7 million, or 34.2 percent, in net cash provided from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to an income tax refund received in February 2010 related to a carry back of the 2008 tax loss resulting from a change in tax method of accounting for capitalization of repair expenditures partially offset by lower fuel refunds at OG&E during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 and cash received in the first quarter of 2011 from the implementation of rate riders at OG&E.

The increase of $51.4 million, or 39.4 percent, in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily related to higher levels of capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to various transmission projects and Crossroads at OG&E and gathering and processing expansion projects at Enogex partially offset by capital expenditures in 2010 related to Windspeed.

The increase of $145.2 million in net cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to:

repayment of the remaining balance of Enogex LLC’s $400 million 8.125% senior notes which matured on January 15, 2010; and

contributions from the noncontrolling interest partners during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

These increases in net cash provided from financing activities were partially offset by:

a decrease in short-term debt borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010;

repayments of borrowings under Enogex LLC’s revolving credit agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2011; and

borrowings under Enogex LLC’s revolving credit agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Future Capital Requirements and Financing Activities

The Company’s primary needs for capital are related to acquiring or constructing new facilities and replacing or expanding existing facilities at OG&E and Enogex. Other working capital requirements are expected to be primarily related to maturing debt, operating lease obligations, hedging activities, fuel clause under and over recoveries and other general

corporate purposes. The Company generally meets its cash needs through a combination of cash generated from operations, short-term borrowings (through a combination of bank borrowings and commercial paper) and permanent financings.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s consolidated estimates of capital expenditures for the years 2011 through 2016 are shown in the following table. These capital expenditures represent the base maintenance capital expenditures (i.e., capital expenditures to maintain and operate the Company’s businesses) plus capital expenditures for known and committed projects.

Total capital expenditures		$	1,350	$	935	$	785	$	650	$	425	$	435
(A)	These capital expenditures are net of the Smart Grid $130 million grant approved by the U.S. Department of Energy.
(B)	The capital expenditures above exclude any environmental expenditures associated with BART requirements due to the uncertainty regarding BART costs. As discussed in “– Environmental Laws and Regulations” below, pursuant to the Oklahoma SIP and the proposed Federal implementation plan, OG&E would be expected to install low NOX burners and related equipment at the three affected generating stations. Preliminary estimates indicate the cost will be $100 million (plus or minus 30 percent). The proposed Federal implementation plan rejects portions of the Oklahoma SIP with respect to SO2 emissions and, if adopted as proposed, could result in a significant increase in capital expenditures to reduce SO2 emissions. For further information, see “– Environmental Laws and Regulations” below.

(C)

These capital expenditures represent 100 percent of Enogex LLC’s capital expenditures, of which a portion will be funded by the ArcLight group. Until the ArcLight group owns 50 percent of the equity of Enogex Holdings, the ArcLight group will fund capital contributions in an amount higher than its proportionate interest. Specifically, the ArcLight group will fund between 50 percent and 90 percent of required capital contributions during that period. The remainder of the required capital contributions (i.e., between 10 percent and 50 percent) will be funded by OGE Holdings.

Additional capital expenditures beyond those identified in the table above, including additional incremental growth opportunities in electric transmission assets and at Enogex, will be evaluated based upon their impact upon achieving the Company’s financial objectives. The capital expenditure projections related to Enogex LLC in the table above reflect base market conditions at May 4, 2011 and do not reflect the potential opportunity for a set of growth projects that could materialize.

Pension Plan Funding

Security Ratings

Access to reasonably priced capital is dependent in part on credit and security ratings. Pricing grids associated with the Company’s credit facilities could cause annual fees and borrowing rates to increase if an adverse ratings impact occurs. The impact of any future downgrade could include an increase in the cost of the Company’s short-term borrowings, but a reduction in the Company’s credit ratings would not result in any defaults or accelerations. Any future downgrade could also lead to higher long-term borrowing costs and, if below investment grade, would require the Company to post cash collateral or letters of credit. In the event Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s were to lower the Company’s senior unsecured debt rating to a below investment grade rating, at March 31, 2011, the Company would have been required to post $16.3 million of cash collateral to satisfy its obligation under its financial and physical contracts relating to derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at March 31, 2011. In addition, the Company could be required to provide additional credit assurances in future dealings with third parties, which could include letters of credit or cash collateral.

Future Sources of Financing

Management expects that cash generated from operations, proceeds from the issuance of long and short-term debt and proceeds from the sales of common stock to the public through the Company’s DRIP/DSPP or other offerings will be adequate over the next three years to meet anticipated cash needs and to fund future growth opportunities. Additionally, the Company will have an additional source of funding for growth opportunities at Enogex through the ArcLight group. The Company utilizes short-term borrowings (through a combination of bank borrowings and commercial paper) to satisfy temporary working capital needs and as an interim source of financing capital expenditures until permanent financing is arranged.

Short-Term Debt and Credit Facilities

Short-term borrowings generally are used to meet working capital requirements. The Company borrows on a short-term basis, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and by borrowings under its revolving credit agreements. The short-term debt balance was $237.2 million and $145.0 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt at March 31, 2011 was 0.34 percent. The maximum month-end balance of short-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $276.8 million. Enogex had $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement at December 31, 2010 with no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2011. As Enogex LLC’s credit agreement matures on March 31, 2013, along with its intent in utilizing its credit agreement, borrowings thereunder are classified as long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $997.5 million of net available liquidity under its revolving credit agreements. Also, OG&E has the necessary regulatory approvals to incur up to $800 million in short-term borrowings at any time for a two-year period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company’s short-term debt activity.

Minimum Quarterly Distributions by Enogex Holdings

As discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, pursuant to the Enogex Holdings LLC Agreement, on March 1, 2011, Enogex Holdings made a quarterly distribution of $8.3 million, of which $7.5 million was OGE Holdings’ portion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain information that is pertinent to Management’s Discussion and Analysis. In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes to these assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company believes it has taken reasonable, but conservative, positions where assumptions and estimates are used in order to minimize the negative financial impact to the Company that could result if actual results vary from the assumptions and estimates. In management’s opinion, the areas of the Company where the most significant judgment is exercised are in the valuation of pension plan assumptions, impairment estimates, contingency reserves, asset retirement obligations, fair value and cash flow hedges, regulatory assets and liabilities, unbilled revenues for OG&E, operating revenues for Enogex, natural gas purchases for Enogex, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and the valuation of purchase and sale contracts. The selection, application and disclosure of the Company’s critical accounting estimates have been discussed with the Company’s Audit Committee and are discussed in detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

Commitments and Contingencies

Except as disclosed otherwise in this Form 10-Q and the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not currently anticipate that liabilities arising out of these pending or threatened lawsuits, claims and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Notes 13 and 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Notes 14 and 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 3 of Part I of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s commitments and contingencies.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The activities of OG&E and Enogex are subject to stringent and complex Federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection including the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws and regulations can restrict or impact OG&E’s and Enogex’s business activities in many ways, such as restricting the way it can handle or dispose of their wastes, requiring remedial action to mitigate pollution conditions that may be caused by their operations or that are attributable to former operators, regulating future construction activities to mitigate harm to threatened or endangered species and requiring the installation and operation of pollution control equipment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations. These environmental laws and regulations are discussed in detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. Except as set forth below and in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, there have been no material changes to such items.

Air

Hazardous Air Pollutants Emission Standards

On March 16, 2011, the EPA issued proposed Maximum Achievable Control Technology regulations governing emissions of certain hazardous air pollutants from utility boilers. The proposal includes numerical standards for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride and mercury emissions from coal-fired boilers. In addition, the proposal includes work practice standards and an annual emission test to control dioxins and furans. Under the proposed rules, compliance is required within three years after finalization of the rule with a possibility of a one year extension. The EPA will accept comments on the proposal for 60 days after it is published. Currently, the EPA is under a consent decree deadline to issue a final rule by November 2011. OG&E is evaluating what emission controls would be necessary to meet the proposed standards and the associated costs, which could be significant.

Regional Haze Control Measures

As described in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, on February 18, 2010, Oklahoma submitted its SIP to the EPA, which set forth the state’s plan for compliance with the Federal regional haze rule. The SIP concluded that BART for reducing NOX emissions at all of the subject units should be the installation of low NOX burners (overfire air and flue gas recirculation was also required on two of the units) and set forth associated NOX emission rates and limits. OG&E

preliminarily estimates that the total cost of installing and operating these NOX controls on all covered units, based on recent industry experience and past projects, will be between $70 million and $130 million. With respect to SO2 emissions, the SIP included an agreement between the ODEQ and OG&E that established BART for SO2 control at four coal-fired units located at OG&E’s Sooner and Muskogee generating stations as the continued use of low sulfur coal (along with associated emission rates and limits). The SIP specifically rejected the installation and operation of Dry Scrubbers as BART for SO2 control from these units because the state determined that Dry Scrubbers were not cost effective on these units.

On March 22, 2011, the EPA proposed to reject portions of the Oklahoma SIP and proposed a Federal implementation plan. While the EPA accepted Oklahoma’s BART determination for NOX in the SIP, it rejected the SO2 BART determination for OG&E. In its place, the EPA has proposed that OG&E meet an SO2 emission rate of 0.06 lbs/MMBtu. OG&E could meet the proposed standard by either installation and operation of Dry Scrubbers or fuel switching at the four coal-fired generating units at OG&E’s Muskogee and Sooner generating stations. OG&E estimates that installing Dry Scrubbers on these units would cost the Company more than $1.0 billion. The EPA’s proposal will be subject to the normal administrative process that includes public notice and comment and the availability of judicial review. OG&E plans to participate actively in this process to advocate for a final determination that does not require the installation of Dry Scrubbers.

Until the EPA takes final action on the Oklahoma SIP, the total cost of compliance, including capital expenditures, cannot be estimated by OG&E with a reasonable degree of certainty. OG&E expects that any necessary expenditures for the installation of emission control equipment will qualify as part of a pre-approval plan to handle state and federally mandated environmental upgrades which will be recoverable in Oklahoma from OG&E’s retail customers under House Bill 1910, which was enacted into law in May 2005.

Notice of Violation

As previously reported, in July 2008, the Company received a request for information from the EPA regarding Federal Clean Air Act compliance at OG&E’s Muskogee and Sooner generating plants. In recent years, the EPA has issued similar requests to numerous other electric utilities seeking to determine whether various maintenance, repair and replacement projects should have required permits under the Federal Clean Air Act’s new source review process. OG&E believes it has acted in full compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act and new source review process and is cooperating with the EPA. On April 26, 2011, the EPA issued a notice of violation alleging that 13 projects that occurred at OG&E’s Muskogee and Sooner generating plants between 1993 and 2006 without the required new source review permits. The notice of violation also alleges that OG&E’s visible emissions at its Muskogee and Sooner generating plants are not in accordance with applicable new source performance standards (See Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings – Opacity Notice for a related discussion). OG&E is evaluating its response to the notice and cannot predict at this time what, if any, further actions may be necessary as a result of the notice. The EPA could seek to require OG&E to install additional pollution control equipment and pay fines and penalties as a result of the allegations in the notice of violation. Section 113 of the Federal Clean Air Act (along with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1996) provides for civil penalties as much as $37,500 per day for each violation.

Water Intakes

In March 2011, the EPA proposed rules pursuant to Section 316(b) of the Federal Clean Water Act to address impingement and entrainment of aquatic organisms at existing cooling water intake structures. When final rules are issued and implemented, additional capital and/or increased operating costs may be incurred. The costs of complying with the final water intake standards are not currently determinable, but could be significant.

For additional information regarding contingencies relating to environmental laws and regulations, see Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Except as set forth below, the market risks set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the market risks affecting the Company.

Commodity Price Risk

The market risks inherent in the Company’s commodity price sensitive instruments, positions and anticipated commodity transactions are the potential losses in value arising from adverse changes in the commodity prices to which the Company is exposed. These risks can be classified as trading, which includes transactions that are entered into voluntarily to

capture subsequent changes in commodity prices, or non-trading, which includes the exposure some of the Company’s assets have to commodity prices.

Trading activities are conducted throughout the year subject to $2.5 million daily and monthly trading stop loss limits set by the Risk Oversight Committee. The loss exposure from trading activities is measured primarily using VaR, which estimates the potential losses the trading activities could incur over a specified time horizon and confidence level. Currently, the Company utilizes the variance/co-variance method for calculating VaR, assuming a 95 percent confidence level. The VaR limit set by the Risk Oversight Committee for the Company’s trading activities is currently $1.5 million. These limits are designed to mitigate the possibility of trading activities having a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating income.

A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the Company’s exposure to market risk created by trading activities. The value of trading positions is a summation of the fair values calculated for each net commodity position based upon quoted market prices. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 20 percent adverse change in quoted market prices. The result of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, reflects net commodity price risk to be $0.3 million at March 31, 2011. This amount represents the Company’s exposure, net of the ArcLight group’s proportional share.

Commodity price risk is present in the Company’s non-trading activities because changes in the prices of natural gas, NGLs and NGLs processing spreads have a direct effect on the compensation the Company receives for operating some of its assets. These prices are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in supply and demand. To partially reduce non-trading commodity price risk, the Company utilizes risk mitigation tools such as default processing fees and ethane rejection capabilities to protect its downside exposure while maintaining its upside potential. Additionally, the Company hedges, through the utilization of derivatives and other forward transactions, the effects these market fluctuations have on the Company’s operating income. Because the commodities covered by these hedges are substantially the same commodities that the Company buys and sells in the physical market, no special studies other than monitoring the degree of correlation between the derivative and cash markets are deemed necessary.

A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the Company’s exposure to the commodity price risk of the Company’s non-trading activities. The Company’s daily net commodity position consists of natural gas inventories, commodity purchase and sales contracts, financial and commodity derivative instruments and anticipated natural gas processing spreads and fuel recoveries. Quoted market prices are not available for all of the Company’s non-trading positions; therefore, the value of non-trading positions is a summation of the forecasted values calculated for each commodity based upon internally generated forward price curves. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 20 percent adverse change in such prices over the next 12 months. The result of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, reflects net commodity price risk to be $35.7 million at March 31, 2011. This amount represents the Company’s exposure, net of the ArcLight group’s proportional share.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Reference is made to Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K for a description of certain legal proceedings presently pending. Except as set forth below, there are no new significant cases to report against the Company or its subsidiaries and there have been no material changes in the previously reported proceedings.

1. Opacity Notice. On March 18, 2011, OG&E received notice from the GCELC of its intent to file a lawsuit against OG&E. The notice was filed pursuant to the citizen suit provision of the Federal Clean Air Act and related to alleged violations of Federal and state opacity standards from March 18, 2006 to present at OG&E’s Muskogee and Sooner generation stations. GCELC is seeking both injunctive relief to enjoin excess emissions from OG&E’s Muskogee and Sooner generation stations and the assessment of civil penalties for alleged past violations of the applicable opacity limits. OG&E and the ODEQ have been engaging in discussions about these alleged opacity violations for several years, and while OG&E has denied that these events constitute violations of Federal and state standards, both parties continue to work toward resolution of the issue. If the ODEQ files a lawsuit on the alleged opacity violations before May 17, 2011, the GCELC will be prohibited from filing its lawsuit, although it may intervene in any such ODEQ lawsuit. At the present time, the Company does not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, but Section 113 of the Federal Clean Air Act (along with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1996) provides for civil penalties as much as $37,500 per day for each violation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s risk factors from those discussed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
