The exercise price, tax withholding and commission price were paid by surrendering 4,055 shares to the Company, which the filing individual purchased on the open market on August 11 and 12, 2003.  Following the exercise, the filing individual received 4,055 shares plus her gain (4,863 shares), the value of which 4,863 shares were deferred into phantom Entergy units held 
in a brokerage account.  The deferral is until the earlier of January 3, 2005 or retirement from the Company.  The reporting person did not realize profit in connection with purchases and sales as reported in this Form and in the previous Form 4s filed during the past six months.
