Basis of
Presentation (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
|
Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is a utility services holding
company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the generation,
energy delivery and other businesses discussed below. The
generation business consists of the electric generating
facilities, the wholesale energy marketing operations and
competitive retail sales operations of Exelon Generation
Company, LLC (Generation). The energy delivery businesses
include the purchase and regulated retail and wholesale sale of
electricity and the provision of distribution and transmission
services by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in northern
Illinois, including the City of Chicago, and by PECO Energy
Company (PECO) in southeastern Pennsylvania, including the City
of Philadelphia, and the purchase and regulated retail sale of
natural gas and the provision of distribution services by PECO
in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of
Philadelphia.
Exelons consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of entities in which Exelon has a controlling financial
interest, other than certain financing trusts of ComEd and PECO,
and Generations and PECOs proportionate interests in
jointly owned electric utility property, after the elimination
of intercompany transactions. A controlling financial interest
is evidenced by either a voting interest greater than 50% or a
risk and rewards model that identifies Exelon or one of its
subsidiaries as the primary beneficiary of the variable interest
entity. Investments and joint ventures in which Exelon does not
have a controlling financial interest and certain financing
trusts of ComEd and PECO are accounted for under the equity or
cost methods of accounting.
Exelon owns 100% of all significant consolidated subsidiaries,
either directly or indirectly, except for ComEd, of which Exelon
owns more than 99%, and PECO, of which Exelon owns 100% of the
common stock but none of PECOs preferred stock. Exelon has
reflected the third-party interests in ComEd as minority
interests and PECOs preferred stock as preferred
securities of subsidiaries in its consolidated financial
statements.
Generations consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of its subsidiaries, including AmerGen Energy Company,
LLC (AmerGen) and Exelon Energy Company, LLC. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
ComEds consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of ComEd and Commonwealth Edison Company of Indiana,
Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
PECOs consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of PECO and its subsidiaries, including ExTel
Corporation, LLC, Adwin Realty Company and PECO Wireless, LP.
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the three and six months
then ended are unaudited but, in the opinion of the management
of each of Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO (collectively,
Registrants), include all adjustments that are considered
necessary for a fair presentation of its respective financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All adjustments
are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise
disclosed. The December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance
Sheets were taken from audited financial statements. These
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of Exelon, Generation, ComEd
and PECO included in ITEM 8 of their 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

Discontinued
Operations (Exelon and Generation)
|
As discussed in Note 4 Acquisitions and
Dispositions, on January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of
Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in
Generations sale of its investment in Sithe Energies, Inc.
(Sithe). In addition, during 2003 and 2004, Exelon sold or wound
down substantially all components of Exelon Enterprises Company,
LLC (Enterprises). As a result, the results of operations and
any gain or loss on the sale of these entities are presented as
discontinued operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 within Exelons (for Sithe and
Enterprises) and Generations (for Sithe) Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
Exelons Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income included $1 million of loss and
$4 million of income, respectively, from discontinued
operations related to Enterprises. There was no significant
activity related to the discontinued operations for Enterprises
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Exelons and
Generations Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income included $5 million (after-tax) gain
on disposal of discontinued operations related primarily to
Sithe, resulting from a settlement agreement between a
subsidiary of Sithe, the Pennsylvania Attorney Generals
Office and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue regarding a
previously disputed tax position asserted for the 2000 tax year.
There was no significant activity related to the discontinued
operations for Sithe during the three months ended June 30,
2007. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income included $3 million of
income (after-tax) from discontinued operations related to
Sithe, which represented an adjustment to the gain on sale as a
result of the expiration of certain tax indemnifications and the
collection of a receivable arising from the sale of Sithe that
had been fully reserved. See Note 4
Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information
regarding Generations sale of its investment in Sithe.
3. New
Accounting Pronouncements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and
PECO)
FIN 48
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 applies to
all income tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns
or expected to be taken on a future tax return. FIN 48
prescribes a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach,
a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion and a measurement
attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of
tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized
upon effective settlement. If it is not more likely than not
that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no
benefit will be recorded.
Uncertain tax positions that relate only to timing of when an
item is included on a tax return are considered to have met the
recognition threshold for purposes of applying FIN 48.
Therefore, if it can be established that the only uncertainty is
when an item is taken on a tax return, such positions have
satisfied the recognition step for purposes of FIN 48 and
uncertainty related to timing should be assessed as part of
measurement. FIN 48 also requires that the amount of
interest expense and income to be recognized related to
uncertain tax positions be computed by applying the applicable
statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax
position recognized in accordance with FIN 48 and the
amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
FIN 48 was effective for the Registrants as of
January 1, 2007. The change in net assets as a result of
applying this pronouncement was considered a change in
accounting principle with the cumulative effect of the change
required to primarily be treated as an adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings (deficit). Adjustments to goodwill
or regulatory accounts associated with the implementation of
FIN 48 were based on other applicable accounting standards.
See Note 10 Income Taxes for additional
information regarding the adoption of FIN 48.
FIN 48 prescribes that a company shall recognize the
benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. The
FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)
FIN 48-1,
Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation
No. 48, in May 2007 to provide guidance on how
companies should determine whether a tax position is effectively
settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized
tax benefits. The Registrants contemplated the provisions of FSP
FIN 48-1
upon the initial adoption of FIN 48.
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements but does not change the requirements to
apply fair value in existing accounting standards. Under
SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The
standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the
Registrants as of January 1, 2008, and the Registrants are
currently assessing the impact that
SFAS No. 157 may have on their financial
statements.
SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115 (SFAS No. 159).
SFAS No. 159 gives companies the option of applying at
specified election dates fair value accounting to certain
financial instruments and other items that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. If a company chooses to
record eligible items at fair value, the company must report
unrealized gains and losses on those items in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also
prescribes presentation and disclosure requirements for assets
and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this
standard and pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS No. 133).
SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Registrants as
of January 1, 2008, and the Registrants are currently
assessing the impact SFAS No. 159 may have on their
financial statements.
FSP
FIN 39-1
In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP
FIN 39-1,
Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FSP
FIN 39-1).
This pronouncement amends FIN 39, Offsetting of
Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, to permit companies
to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim
cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash
collateral (a payable) against fair value amounts recognized for
derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under
a master netting arrangement. FSP
FIN 39-1
will be effective for the Registrants as of January 1,
2008. The effects of applying this pronouncement shall be
recognized as a change in accounting principle through
retrospective application for all financial statements presented
unless it is impracticable to do so. The Registrants are
currently assessing whether to elect the accounting policies
prescribed by FSP
FIN 39-1
which, if elected, would not impact net income.

Acquisitions
and Dispositions (Exelon and Generation)
|
Sithe
(Exelon and Generation)
On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generations sale
of its investment in Sithe. Specifically, subsidiaries of
Generation consummated the acquisition of Reservoir Capital
Groups 50% interest in Sithe and subsequently sold 100% of
Sithe to Dynegy, Inc. (Dynegy).
In connection with the sale, Exelon recorded liabilities related
to certain indemnifications provided to Dynegy and other
guarantees directly resulting from the transaction. These
indemnifications and guarantees are being accounted for under
the provisions of FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others. The remaining
exposures covered by these indemnities are anticipated to expire
in 2007 and beyond. As of June 30, 2007, Exelons
accrued liabilities related to these indemnifications and
guarantees were $43 million. The estimated maximum possible
exposure to Exelon related to the guarantees provided as part of
the sales transaction to Dynegy was approximately
$175 million at June 30, 2007.
See Note 2 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for further discussion of Generations sale of its
investment in Sithe.
Sale
of Termoeléctrica del Golfo (TEG) and Termoeléctrica
Peñoles (TEP) (Exelon and Generation)
On February 9, 2007, Tamuin International Inc. (TII), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Generation, sold its 49.5% ownership
interests in TEG and TEP to a subsidiary of AES Corporation
for $95 million in cash plus certain purchase price
adjustments. In connection with the transaction, Generation
entered into a guaranty agreement under which Generation
guarantees the timely payment of TIIs obligations to the
subsidiary of AES Corporation pursuant to the terms of the
purchase and sale agreement relating to the sale of TIIs
ownership interests. Generation would be required to perform in
the event that TII does not pay any obligation covered by the
guaranty that is not otherwise subject to a dispute resolution
process. Generations maximum obligation under the guaranty
is $95 million. Generation has not recorded a liability
associated with this guarantee. The exposures covered by this
guaranty are anticipated to expire in the second half of 2008
and beyond.

Regulatory
Issues (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
|
The legislatively mandated transition and rate freeze period in
Illinois ended at the close of 2006. Associated with the end of
this rate freeze, ComEd has been engaged in various regulatory
proceedings to establish rates for the post-2006 period, which
are more fully described below. In view of the rate increases
following the expiration of the rate freeze, various Illinois
legislative attempts, as more fully described below, have been
made to roll back and freeze ComEds rates for an
additional period or to control the rate at which the rate
increases are phased in or impose a tax on the ownership or
operation of electric generating facilities. ComEd and
Generation have been engaged in discussions with Illinois
legislative leaders and others to address concerns about higher
electric bills in Illinois without a rate roll-back and rate
freeze, a generation tax or other similar legislation. Those
discussions successfully concluded on July 24, 2007, when ComEd,
Generation, and other utilities and generators in Illinois
reached an oral agreement with representatives of the Illinois
state government and submitted a confirming letter to the
Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, the President
of the Illinois Senate, the minority leaders of the Illinois
House and Senate, and the Attorney General of the State of
Illinois, more fully described below.
Rate Freeze, Generation Tax and Other Proposed Legislation
(Exelon, Generation and ComEd). The increases
in ComEds 2007 rates reflect the pass-through of
ComEds costs of procuring electricity for customers,
significant capital investment that ComEd has made in
distribution assets, and changes in ComEds operating
costs.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
ComEd estimates that its average residential customer is
experiencing an annual increase of approximately 24% in its
electric bills; however, some customer increases have been
larger. Customers of certain other Illinois utilities have
experienced much more significant increases in their bills.
Since March 2007, various bills have been proposed by the
Illinois House of Representatives and Senate in an attempt to
address the higher electric bills experienced in the state of
Illinois since the expiration of the rate freeze at the end of
2006. The significant components of the proposed legislation
would have required the following:
|
|
|
|
|
A rollback of electricity rates to rates in effect in 2006,
effective for at least one year. Furthermore, ComEd would have
been required to provide refunds, with interest, of charges
collected from residential customers in excess of those
rolled-back rates since January 1, 2007.
|
|
|
|
A limit to rate increases for all bundled service customers for
at least one year, and until 2010 in other versions of the
legislation.
|
|
|
|
A tax of $70,000 for each megawatt of nameplate capacity on
certain electric generating facilities located in Illinois
including those owned by Generation.
|
|
|
|
Establishment of a generation tax and a fund from the proceeds
of the generation tax to be used to reimburse ComEd and other
Illinois utilities for rate refunds and also to refund ComEd and
other Illinois utilities for differences between 2007 and 2006
rates prior to July 1, 2008.
|
|
|
|
ComEd would be required to supply all residential and small
commercial and industrial customers who have central air
conditioning with direct load control devices. ComEd would not
be allowed to recover the cost of these devices through rates,
but only from the generation tax fund.
|
|
|
|
Beginning in 2009, no electric utility, including ComEd, could
have been owned by a company, such as Exelon, which also
participates, as Exelon does through Generation, in power
generation or marketing.
|
|
|
|
Require electric utilities, including ComEd, to remove
themselves from participation in regional transmission
organizations, including PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM).
|
On April 23, 2007, ComEd announced the implementation of a
new $64 million rate relief package to be provided to ComEd
customers most affected by electricity rate increases. Inclusive
of ComEds funding of its Customers Affordable
Reliable Energy (CARE) initiative, ComEd anticipates that its
customer rate relief programs will provide benefits to its
customers of approximately $44 million in 2007 and
approximately $10 million in additional funds per year
during 2008 and 2009. During the six months ended June 30,
2007, ComEd recorded a reduction in operating revenues of
$19 million and a charge to operating and maintenance
expense of $8 million associated with the 2007 portion of
this announced program. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, ComEd has credited approximately
$18 million to its customers.
On July 24, 2007, following extensive discussions with
legislative leaders in Illinois, ComEd, Generation, and other
utilities and generators in Illinois reached an oral agreement
(the Settlement) with various representatives from the State of
Illinois concluding discussions of measures to address concerns
about higher electric bills in Illinois without rate freeze,
generation tax or other legislation that Exelon believes would
be harmful to consumers of electricity, electric utilities,
generators of electricity and the State of Illinois. The
Settlement was recorded in a confirming letter (the Letter) to
the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, the
President of the Illinois Senate, the minority leaders of the
Illinois House and Senate, and the Attorney General of the State
of Illinois (the Attorney General) from ComEd, Generation, and
other utilities and generators in Illinois.

EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Settlement will be effective only upon enactment of proposed
legislation (Proposed Legislation), which was drafted as part of
the Settlement and attached as an exhibit to the Letter. If it
becomes effective, the Settlement and the Proposed Legislation
would provide for the following, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
Illinois electric utilities, their affiliates, and generators of
electricity in Illinois would make voluntary contributions of
approximately $1 billion over a period of four years to
programs that would provide rate relief to Illinois electricity
customers and funding for the new Illinois Power Agency to be
created by the Proposed Legislation. Exelon has committed to
contributing approximately $800 million to rate relief
programs over four years and funding for the Illinois Power
Agency, in addition to approximately $11 million of rate
relief credits provided by ComEd prior to June 14, 2007
under rate relief programs previously announced. ComEd would
continue executing upon its $64 million rate relief package
announced April 23, 2007, as described above. Generation
would contribute an aggregate of up to $747 million, of
which $435 million would be available to reimburse ComEd
for rate relief programs for ComEd customers, and
$307.5 million would be available for rate relief programs
for customers of other Illinois utilities, and $4.5 million
would be available for funding operations of the Illinois Power
Agency. Of the $800 million to be contributed to rate
relief by Generation and ComEd, $459 million will be
contributed in 2007, $222 million will be contributed in
2008, $105 million will be contributed in 2009, and
$14 million will be contributed in 2010.
|
|
|
|
In the event that the Illinois General Assembly passes
legislation prior to August 1, 2011 that freezes or reduces
electric rates or imposes a generation tax on any party to the
Settlement, the contributors to the rate relief funds would be
allowed to terminate their funding commitments and may recover
any undisbursed funds set aside for rate relief.
|
|
|
|
The existing contracts resulting from the procurement auction in
2006 will be honored. As those contracts expire, procurement
will be made pursuant to a horizontal, sealed bid procurement
process to establish long-term market-based contracts.
|
|
|
|
To fulfill a requirement of the Settlement, ComEd and Generation
have entered into a five-year financial swap arrangement, the
effect of which will cause ComEd to pay fixed prices and cause
Generation to pay a market price for a portion of ComEds
load. The financial terms cover energy costs only, not capacity
or ancillary services. The contract has been fully executed but
is not effective until the Proposed Legislation contemplated by
the Settlement is effective.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The contract is designed to dovetail with ComEds remaining
auction contracts for energy, increasing in volume as the
contracts expire.
|
|
|
|
The contract volumes will be 1,000 MW for the period from
June 2008 through May 2009, 2,000 MW for the period from
June 2009 through May 2010, and 3,000 MW in each of the
periods June 2010 through May 2011, June 2011 through May 2012,
and June 2012 through May 2013.

This arrangement will be deemed prudent and ComEd will receive

A new state agency, known as the Illinois Power Agency (the
Agency), would be created and authorized to design annual
five-year electricity supply portfolio plans for electric
utilities and administer a competitive procurement process for
utilities to procure the electricity supply resources identified
in the supply portfolio plans. The Agency, under certain
conditions, would also be authorized to construct generation and
co-generation facilities that use indigenous coal or renewable
resources, or both, to supply electricity at cost to municipal
electric systems and rural electric cooperatives. The
Agencys operations will be funded from fees

and bond proceeds and the interest on $25 million of the
$1 billion customer rate relief package to be contributed
to the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ability of utilities to engage in divestiture and other
restructuring transactions without prior Illinois Commerce
Commission (ICC) approval would be extended until all classes of
tariffed service are declared competitive.
|
|
|
|
The Proposed Legislation would also declare that the 400 kw and
above customer classes of ComEd are competitive and would
establish an expedited procedure for finding customer classes
with demands of 100 kw or greater but less than 400 kw are
competitive.
|
|
|
|
Until at least June 30, 2022, the state would not prohibit
an electric utility from maintaining its membership in a Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved regional
transmission organization chosen by the utility.
|
|
|
|
ComEd would be required to provide tariffed service to
condominium associations at rates that do not exceed rates
offered to residential customers.
|
|
|
|
Utilities would be prohibited from terminating electric service
to a residential electric space heat customer due to nonpayment
before September 1, 2007 or between December 1 of any year
and March 1 of the following year.
|
|
|
|
Electric utilities would be required to use cost-effective
energy efficiency and demand response resources to meet defined
incremental annual program energy and demand savings goals.
These goals generally call for reductions in delivered energy
from the prior year for energy efficiency programs and for
reductions in peak demand from the prior year for eligible
customers. The goals would be subject to rate impact caps each
year. Utilities would be allowed recovery of costs for energy
efficiency and demand response programs, subject to approval by
the ICC. Failure to comply with the energy efficiency and demand
response requirements in the Proposed Legislation would result
in ComEd being subject to penalties and other charges.
|
|
|
|
The procurement plans developed by the Illinois Power Agency and
implemented by electric utilities must include cost-effective
renewable energy resources in amounts that equal or exceed 2% of
the total electricity that each electric utility supplies to its
eligible retail customers by June 1, 2008, increasing to
10% by June 1, 2015, with a goal of 25% by June 1,
2025. Utilities would be allowed to pass-through any costs or
savings from the procurement of these renewable resources.

In connection with the Settlement, ComEd, Generation, the
Illinois Attorney General, and other Illinois utilities have
entered into a release and settlement agreement releasing and
dismissing with prejudice all litigation, claims and regulatory
proceedings and appeals relating to or arising out of the
procurement of power, including ICC and FERC proceedings
relating to the procurement of power. The release and settlement
agreement is contingent on the enactment of the Proposed
Legislation.
In connection with the Settlement, Generation, ComEd and the
Illinois Attorney General have entered into a Rate Relief
Funding Agreement dated July 24, 2007, pursuant to which
ComEd has contractually committed itself to the rate relief
contemplated by the Settlement and Generation has contractually
committed itself to reimburse ComEd for up to $435 million
of costs incurred by ComEd in connection with the rate relief
contemplated by the Settlement. In addition, Generation, the
Illinois utilities owned by Ameren Corporation (Ameren), and the
Illinois Attorney General have entered into a separate Rate
Relief Funding Agreement dated July 24, 2007, pursuant to which
the Ameren Utilities have contractually committed themselves to
the rate relief contemplated by the Settlement and Generation
has contractually committed itself to reimburse the Ameren
Utilities for up to $307.5 million of costs incurred by the
Ameren Utilities in connection with the rate relief contemplated

Settlement. These funding commitments become effective only upon
the enactment into law of the Proposed Legislation and will
terminate if the Illinois General Assembly passes legislation
prior to August 1, 2011 that freezes or reduces electric
rates or imposes a generation tax on any party to the Settlement.
To become law in Illinois, legislation must be passed by the
House and Senate and signed by the Governor of Illinois. There
is no guarantee that the Proposed Legislation will be passed by
the House and Senate and signed by the Governor.
Customers Affordable Reliable Energy (Exelon and
ComEd). In July 2006, ComEd implemented CARE,
an initiative to help customers prepare for electricity rate
increases coming in 2007 after the expiration of the rate freeze
in Illinois. In addition to the residential rate stabilization
program discussed below, CARE includes a variety of energy
efficiency, low-income and senior citizen programs to help
mitigate the impacts of the rate increase on customers
bills.
In the ICCs December 20, 2006 order approving
ComEds residential rate stabilization program (see below),
the ICC also strongly encouraged, but did not require, ComEd to
make contributions to environmental and customer assistance
programs. On February 20, 2007, ComEd filed a letter with
the ICC indicating its intent, if financially able to do so, to
contribute $30 million over three years to CARE related
programs. ComEd also stated that it did not intend to seek rate
recovery of these amounts and thus did not believe that the ICC
needed to investigate the programs.
Illinois Procurement Case and Related Proceedings (Exelon,
Generation and ComEd). On February 25,
2005, ComEd made a filing with the ICC to seek regulatory
approval of tariffs that would authorize ComEd to bill its
customers for electricity costs incurred under a reverse-auction
competitive bidding process (the Procurement Case). On
October 17, 2005, ComEd and Exelon Generation jointly filed
a request for a declaratory order at the FERC seeking approval
of the reverse-auction competitive bidding process it planned to
use for ComEds procurement of wholesale supplies of
electricity. On December 16, 2005, FERC issued an order
holding that the proposed competitive bidding process satisfied
FERCs criteria for a competitive process and that
Generation would be eligible for market-based rate sales to
ComEd under the terms of the auction. On May 1, 2006, FERC
denied the Illinois Attorney Generals request for
rehearing of that order, and the Attorney General filed a
petition for review of the ICCs decision in the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
That appeal will be dismissed with prejudice in connection with
the Settlement when the Proposed Legislation becomes effective.
On January 24, 2006, the ICC, by a unanimous vote, approved
a reverse-auction competitive bidding process for procurement of
electricity by ComEd after the end of the transition period.
Various parties, including the Illinois Attorney General, ComEd
and consumer representatives, appealed the ICC approval, but the
Attorney Generals appeal will be dismissed with prejudice
in connection with the Settlement if the Proposed Legislation
becomes effective. The energy price that resulted from the first
auction is fixed until June 2008. On December 6, 2006, the
ICC staff released its report on the auction, which generally
spoke favorably of the process and the outcome. The report
recommended the continued use of the reverse-auction for future
electric power procurement. However, the Proposed Legislation
will establish a different process for procurement of
electricity by Illinois utilities.
In March 2007, the Illinois Attorney General filed a complaint
before FERC alleging that the prices to all suppliers resulting
from the auction are unjust and unreasonable under the Federal
Power Act and that the suppliers colluded in the course of the
auction. The Illinois Attorney General has agreed that this
complaint will be dismissed with prejudice in connection with
the Settlement if the Proposed Legislation becomes effective.

March 28, 2007 and March 30, 2007, class action suits
were filed in Illinois state court against ComEd and Generation
as well as the other suppliers in the Illinois procurement
auction, claiming that the suppliers manipulated the auction and
that the resulting wholesale prices are unlawfully high. Exelon,
Generation and ComEd cannot predict the outcome of these
proceedings, but each believes the claims to be completely false
and unsupported by requisite evidence, and each intends to
vigorously oppose these claims.
Illinois Rate Case (Exelon and
ComEd). On August 31, 2005, ComEd filed
a rate case with the ICC to comprehensively revise its tariffs
and to adjust rates for delivering electricity effective January
2007 (Rate Case). The commodity component of ComEds rates
was established by the reverse-auction process in accordance
with the ICC rate order in the Procurement Case. ComEd proposed
a revenue increase of $317 million. The ICC staff and
several intervenors in the Rate Case, including the Illinois
Attorney General, suggested and provided testimony that
ComEds rates for delivery services should be reduced. On
July 26, 2006, the ICC issued its order in the Rate Case
which approved a delivery services revenue increase of
approximately $8 million of the $317 million proposed
revenue increase requested by ComEd. On December 20, 2006,
the ICC issued an order on rehearing that increased the amount
previously approved by approximately $74 million for a
total rate increase of $83 million. ComEd and various other
parties have appealed the rate order to the courts. It is
unlikely the appeal will be resolved until the third quarter of
2007 at the earliest. In the event the order is ultimately
changed, the changes are expected to be prospective only.
Illinois Rate Design Investigation (Exelon and
ComEd). On March 2, 2007, the ICC voted
to initiate investigations into ComEds and the Ameren
utilities rate designs, particularly for residential and
residential space-heating customers. The investigation was
prompted by hearings before the Illinois House of
Representatives Committee of the Whole that took place in
February 2007, where House Representatives and customers spoke
of extreme and unexpected rate increases that took effect
January 2007. The vast majority of noted situations related to
Ameren customers. The ICC specified that the investigation would
not look to the overall level of rates, which has just recently
been set, but only to the allocation among the various customer
groups. The ICC has a schedule that contemplates a final order
by September 2007, which would allow implementation of changes,
if any, prior to the next winter heating season.
Original Cost Audit (Exelon and
ComEd). In the Rate Case, the ICC ordered an
original cost audit of ComEds distribution
assets. The ICC order did not find that any portion of
ComEds delivery service assets should be disallowed
because it was unreasonable in amount, imprudently incurred or
not used and useful. The ICC rate order does not provide for a
new review of these issues but instead provides that the
ICC-appointed auditors determine whether the costs of
ComEds distribution assets were properly recorded on
ComEds financial statements at their original costs. The
result of this audit will be addressed through a separately
docketed proceeding. The original cost audit report is expected
to be finalized in 2007 with an ICC proceeding to follow the
issuance of the report. This proceeding may extend into 2008,
and ComEd is unable to predict the results of this audit but at
this time does not believe it has significant financial exposure
related to the audit proceedings. These proceedings are not
affected by the Settlement or the Proposed Legislation.
Renewable Energy Filings (Exelon and
ComEd). On April 4, 2006, ComEd filed
with the ICC a request for ICC approval to purchase and receive
recovery of costs associated with the output of a portfolio of
competitively procured wind resources of approximately 300
megawatts (MWs). On April 4, 2007, at the request of ComEd,
the ICC terminated the proceeding.
Residential Rate Stabilization Program (Exelon and
ComEd). On December 20, 2006, the ICC
approved a program, proposed by ComEd, to mitigate the impact on
ComEds residential customers of ComEds transition
from almost a decade of reduced and frozen rates to rates that
reflect the current cost of providing service. The program
includes an opt-in feature to give residential
customers the choice to participate in the program. The

program caps average annual residential rate increases at 10% in
each of 2007, 2008 and 2009. For participating customers, costs
that exceed the caps are deferred and recovered over three years
from 2010 to 2012. Deferred balances will be assessed an annual
carrying charge of 3.25% to partially cover ComEds costs
of financing the program. If ComEds rate increases are
less than the caps in 2008 and 2009, ComEd would begin to
recover deferred amounts up to the caps with carrying costs. The
program would terminate upon a force majeure event, upon a ComEd
bankruptcy, or if ComEds senior secured credit ratings
from two of three major credit rating agencies fall below
investment grade. ComEds residential customers will have
until August 2007 to choose to participate in the program.
Reductions began to be reflected in April 2007 and are not
retroactive. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 36,000 or
1% of ComEds residential customers have enrolled in the
program and ComEd has deferred less than $1 million under
this program. At this time, ComEd cannot predict the full extent
of participation in the program or its financial effects.
City of Chicago Negotiations (Exelon and
ComEd). ComEd has been in negotiations with
the City of Chicago related to various components of its
franchise agreement with the City of Chicago. As part of these
discussions, ComEd may be able to resolve various outstanding
issues relating to reliability, franchise obligations and other
matters. As part of any agreement, ComEd may make payments to
the City of Chicago, which may be material. No formal agreement
has been reached.
Post-2006 Summary (Exelon, Generation and
ComEd). Exelon and ComEd believe that the
Settlement and the Proposed Legislation significantly reduce the
risk that the Illinois General Assembly might pass rate roll
back and freeze legislation or take other action that could have
a material adverse effect on ComEd. However, the Proposed
Legislation will not become law until it is enacted by the
Illinois General Assembly and signed by the Governor.
Even if the Proposed Legislation becomes law, there are no
assurances that the Illinois General Assembly will not consider
a generation tax. Any assessed generation tax would have a
negative financial impact on Generation. Exelon and Generation
believe that the potential negative impact would include an
increased provision for income taxes, and likewise a reduction
in net income.
Similarly, there is no guarantee that rate roll-back, rate
freeze legislation or other legislation that impairs
ComEds ability to secure fair market prices will not be
considered again by the Illinois General Assembly at a future
date. If the price which ComEd is ultimately allowed to bill to
customers for electricity is below ComEds cost to procure
and deliver electricity, ComEd expects that it would suffer
adverse consequences, which could be material. Exelon and ComEd
believe that these potential material adverse consequences could
include, but may not be limited to, reduced earnings for Exelon
and ComEd, further reduction of ComEds credit ratings,
limited or lost access for ComEd to credit markets to finance
operations and capital investment, and loss of ComEds
capacity to enter into bilateral long-term energy procurement
contracts, which may force ComEd to procure electricity at more
volatile spot market prices, all of which could lead ComEd to
seek protection through a bankruptcy filing. Moreover, to the
extent ComEd is not permitted to recover its costs, ComEds
ability to maintain and improve service may be diminished and
its ability to maintain reliability may be impaired. In the near
term, these prospects could have adverse effects on ComEds
liquidity if vendors reduce credit or shorten payment terms or
if ComEds financing alternatives become more limited and
significantly less flexible.
Additionally, if ComEds ability to recover its costs from
customers through rates is significantly affected, all or a
portion of ComEds business could be required to cease
applying SFAS No. 71, Accounting for the Effects
of Certain Types of Regulation, which covers the
accounting for the effects of rate regulation and would require
Exelon and ComEd to eliminate the financial statement effects of
regulation for the portion of ComEds business that ceases
to meet the criteria. This would result in the elimination of
all associated regulatory assets and liabilities that ComEd had
recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets through the
recording of a one-time extraordinary

STATEMENTS (Continued)
gain on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 2007, the income
statement gain could have been as much as $2.3 billion
(before taxes) at ComEd. In that event, Exelon would record an
income statement gain in an equal amount related to ComEds
regulatory assets and liabilities in addition to a charge
against other comprehensive income of up to $1.2 billion
(before taxes) related to Exelons regulatory assets and
liabilities associated with its defined benefit postretirement
plans and deferred taxes. Such eliminations could have the
effect of producing income. If legislation extends an
earnings-sharing provision that applied during the period in
which rates were generally frozen, that provision requires that
earnings in excess of a threshold be shared with customers.
Finally, the impacts and resolution of the above items could
lead to an additional impairment of ComEds goodwill, which
would be significant and partially offset, or exceed, the
extraordinary gain discussed above. See Note 6
Intangible Assets for further information related to
ComEds goodwill. If ComEd were required to seek relief
through a bankruptcy filing, there would be material adverse
consequences to ComEd and Exelon, including, but not limited to:
uncertainty in collection of receivables from ComEd by Exelon,
including Exelons Business Services Company (BSC);
significant legal and other costs associated with the bankruptcy
filing; possible negative income tax consequences; and possible
reduced ability to effectively administer and allocate the costs
of the various Exelon-sponsored benefit plans.
Transmission Rate Case (Exelon and
ComEd). On March 1, 2007, ComEd filed a
request with FERC seeking approval to update its transmission
rates and change the manner in which ComEds transmission
rates are determined from fixed rates to a formula rate. The
formula rate would be updated annually to ensure that under this
rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission
services. Initial application of the formula would result in an
increase of the revenues ComEd receives for transmission
services, reflecting substantial investment in
transmission-related plant since rates were based on costs from
2003. Between 2003 and the end of 2007, ComEd will have invested
over $800 million in transmission-related plant to meet
increasing demand and improve reliability. ComEd also requested
incentive rate treatment for certain transmission projects.
ComEd requested that the new transmission rates be effective as
of May 2007. On June 5, 2007, FERC issued an order that
conditionally approves ComEds proposal to implement a
formula-based transmission rate effective as of May 1,
2007, but subject to refund, hearing procedures and conditions.
The FERC order provides that further hearing and settlement
procedures be conducted to determine the reasonableness of
certain elements of ComEds formula-based rate. The issues
set for hearing include ComEd proposed 11.70% base return on
equity and various elements of ComEds rate base. The order
denied ComEds request for incentive rate treatment on
investment in two transmission projects and the inclusion of
construction work in progress in ComEds rate base. The
order directed ComEd to file a revised formula reflecting these
findings within 30 days. The new rate will increase an
average residential customer bill by about 1% and will result in
an annual increase in the transmission revenue requirement of
$116 million, although the rate increase is subject to
further adjustment and refund depending on the outcome of the
settlement and hearing procedures. The FERC order approved a
0.5% adder to the base return on equity for participating in a
regional transmission organization. On July 5, 2007, ComEd
filed a request for rehearing, asking FERC to reconsider the
denial of incentive rate treatment on the two new transmission
projects and the denial of construction work in progress in rate
base and certain other elements of the June 5, 2007 order.
Effective May 1, 2007, ComEd began billing customers based
on the conditional FERC order. ComEd cannot predict how much of
a transmission rate increase FERC may ultimately approve
following the settlement and hearing procedures or when these
proceedings will be completed. However, management believes that
appropriate reserves have been established in the event that
some portion of the transmission revenues are required to be
refunded. The ultimate outcome of the FERC approval is
uncertain, but ComEd does not believe ultimate resolution of
this matter will be material to its results of operations or
financial position.
Authorized Return on Rate Base (Exelon, ComEd and
PECO). Under Illinois legislation, if the
two-year average of the earned return on common equity of a
utility through December 31, 2006 exceeded an established
35

CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

STATEMENTS (Continued)
threshold, one-half of the excess earnings was required to be
refunded to customers. The threshold rate of return on common
equity was based on a two-year average of the Monthly Treasury
Bond Long-Term Average Rates (20 years and above) plus 8.5%
in the years 2000 through 2006. Earnings for purposes of
ComEds threshold included ComEds net income
calculated in accordance with GAAP and reflected the
amortization of regulatory assets. Under Illinois statute, any
impairment of goodwill would have had no impact on the
determination of the cap on ComEds allowed equity return
during the transition period. ComEd did not trigger the earnings
sharing provision through 2006. With the end of the transition
and rate freeze period, in its December 20, 2006 order the
ICC authorized a return on the 2005 test year distribution rate
base of 8.01% for ComEd starting in 2007. During the first
quarter of 2007, ComEd filed a transmission rate case with FERC
in which it requested a weighted average debt and equity return
on transmission rate base of 9.87% as determined by a
formula-based rate calculation as discussed above.
PECOs transition period included caps for its electric
transmission and distribution rates that expired on
December 31, 2006 and continues to include caps on
generation rates that will expire on December 31, 2010
pursuant to legislation enacted in Pennsylvania. The
distribution and transmission components of PECOs rates
will continue to be regulated subsequent to its transition
period. PECOs most recently approved return on electric
rate base was 11.23% (approved in 1990). PECOs gas rates
are currently not subject to caps and its most recently
authorized return on gas rate base was 11.45% (approved in 1988).
Through and Out (T&O) Rates and Seams Elimination
Charge/Cost Adjustment/Assignment (SECA) (Exelon, ComEd and
PECO). In November 2004, FERC issued two
orders authorizing ComEd and PECO to recover amounts for a
limited time during a specified transitional period as a result
of the elimination of T&O rates for transmission service
scheduled out of, or across, their respective transmission
systems and ending within territories of PJM or Midwest
Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO). T&O rates
were terminated pursuant to FERC orders, effective
December 1, 2004. The new rates, known as SECA, were
collected from load-serving entities and paid to transmission
owners within PJM and MISO over a transitional period from
December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006, subject to
refund, surcharge and hearing. As load-serving entities, ComEd
and PECO were also required to pay SECA rates during the
transitional period based on the benefits they received from the
elimination of T&O rates of other transmission owners
within PJM and MISO. Since the inception of the SECA rates in
December 2004, ComEd has recorded approximately $49 million
of SECA collections net of SECA charges, while PECO has recorded
$11 million of SECA charges net of SECA collections.
Management of each of ComEd and PECO believes that appropriate
reserves have been established in the event that some portion of
SECA collections are required to be refunded. A hearing was held
in May 2006 and the administrative law judge (ALJ) issued an
Initial Decision on August 10, 2006. The ALJs Initial
Decision found that the transmission owners overstated their
lost revenues in their compliance filings and the SECA rate
design was flawed. Additionally, the ALJ recommended that the
transmission owners should be ordered to refile their respective
compliance filings related to SECA rates. ComEd and PECO have
filed exceptions to the Initial Decision and FERC, on review,
will determine whether or not to accept the ALJs
recommendation. There is no scheduled date for FERC to act on
this matter. Settlements have been reached with various parties.
FERC has approved several of these settlements while others are
still awaiting FERC approval. The ultimate outcome of the
proceeding establishing SECA rates is uncertain, but ComEd and
PECO do not believe ultimate resolution of this matter will be
material to their results of operations or financial position.
PJM Transmission Rate Design (Exelon, ComEd and
PECO). On July 13, 2006, the ALJ in the
case issued an Initial Decision that recommends that FERC
implement the postage stamp rate suggested by FERC staff,
effective as of April 1, 2006, but also allows for the
potential to phase in rate changes. On April 19, 2007, FERC
issued its order on review of the ALJs decision. FERC held
that PJMs current rate design for existing matter
facilities is just and reasonable and should not be changed.
That is consistent with Exelons position in the case.
36
EXELON
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
FERC also held that new facilities should be allocated under a
different rate design. FERC held that new facilities 500
kilovolts (kV) and above should be socialized across the entire
PJM footprint and that new facilities less than 500 kV should be
allocated to the beneficiaries of the new facilities. FERC
stated that PJMs stakeholders should develop a standard
method for allocating new transmission facilities lower than 500
kV. FERCs decision on existing facilities leaves the
status quo as to existing costs, which is substantially more
favorable to Exelon than the ALJs decision as to existing
facilities. In the short term, based on new transmission
facilities approved by PJM, it is likely that socializing costs
across PJM will reduce costs to PECO and increase costs to
ComEd, but ComEd and PECO cannot estimate the longer-term impact
on either companys results of operations and cash flows,
because of the uncertainties relating to what new facilities
will be built and how costs of new facilities less than 500 kV
will be allocated is uncertain. On May 21, 2007, Exelon and
other parties filed requests for rehearing of FERCs
April 19, 2007 order. There is not a required deadline for
FERC to act on the requests for rehearing and FERCs
decision also may be subject to review in the United States
Court of Appeals. However, ComEd anticipates that all impacts of
any rate design changes effective after December 31, 2006
should be recoverable through retail rates in the absence of
rate freeze or similar legislation. With the expiration of
PECOs transmission and distribution rate caps on
December 31, 2006, PECO has the right to file with the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) for a change in
retail rates to reflect the impact of any change in wholesale
transmission rates.
Alternative Energy Filing (Exelon and
PECO). In November 2004, Pennsylvania adopted
Act 213, the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of 2004
(AEPS Act). The AEPS Act mandates that beginning in 2007, or at
the end of an electric distribution companys restructuring
cost recovery period during which competitive transition charges
or intangible transition charges are being recovered, certain
percentages of electric energy sold by an electric distribution
company or electric generation supplier to Pennsylvania retail
electric customers must come from certain alternative energy
resources. In March 2007, PECO filed a request with the PAPUC
for approval to acquire and bank up to 450,000 non-solar
Tier I Alternative Energy Credits (equivalent to up to 240
megawatts (MWs) of electricity generated by wind) annually for a
five-year term in order to prepare for 2011, the first year of
PECOs required compliance following the completion of its
restructuring period. PECO has proposed that all of the costs it
incurs in connection with such procurement prior to 2011 will be
deferred as a regulatory asset with a return on the unamortized
balance in accordance with the AEPS Act. Those costs, and
PECOs AEPS compliance costs incurred thereafter, would be
recovered through a reconcilable ratemaking mechanism as
contemplated by the AEPS Act. Pursuant to the AEPS Act all
deferred costs will be recovered from customers in 2011.
Additionally, all AEPS related costs incurred after 2010 are
recoverable from customers on a full and current basis. On
July 16, 2007, the AEPS Act was modified by House Bill (HB)
1203, as it is discussed in Pennsylvania Regulatory
Matters below. The modifications do not affect PECOs
request filed with PAPUC for the acquiring and banking of
Alternative Energy Credits or the proposed deferral of related
costs.
Default Service Regulations (Exelon and
PECO). On May 10, 2007, after completion
of a two year rule making process, the PAPUC adopted final
Default Supplier (Provider of Last Resort) regulations, an
accompanying policy statement, and a price mitigation policy
statement. The regulations allow for competitive procurement by
distribution companies through auctions or Requests for
Proposals, with full cost recovery and no retrospective prudence
review. According to the policy statement, the PAPUC expects
companies to procure power, on a customer-class basis, using
contracts of varying expiration dates, and prefers contracts
with a duration of one year or less, except for contracts for
compliance with the AEPS Act. The PAPUC also expects companies
to reconcile costs and adjust rates at least quarterly for most
customers, but hourly or monthly for larger energy users. The
PAPUC believes this combination will stimulate competition, send
market-price signals and avoid price spikes following long
periods of fixed, capped rates. The PAPUC also ordered the
elimination of (1) declining-block rates, while allowing
rates to be phased out if the resulting rate increase is greater
than 25%; and (2) demand charges for large customers, while
entertaining requests to retain those charges on a
case-by-case
basis. Default service providers

such as PECO will be required to make their implementation
filings a minimum of 12 months prior to the end of the
generation rate cap period, which for PECO, expires
December 31, 2010. The final Default Service Regulations
adopted by the PAPUC will become effective once approved by
Pennsylvanias Independent Regulatory Review Commission
(such approval being received on July 19, 2007), and after
subsequent review by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney
General, the Pennsylvania Governors Budget Office and the
standing committees of both houses of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly. Once that review and approval process is completed,
the regulations would become final once published in the
Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Pennsylvania Regulatory Matters (Exelon and
PECO). In Pennsylvania and other states where
transition periods have ended or rate caps have expired, there
is growing pressure from state regulators and politicians to
mitigate the potential impact of generation price increases on
retail customers. The experiences in other states following the
end of a regulatory transition period has led to a heightened
state of political concern that significant generation price
increases also will occur after the expiration of rate caps in
Pennsylvania. While PECOs regulatory transition period
does not end until December 31, 2010, these transition
periods have ended for six Pennsylvania electric distribution
companies and, in some instances, generations price increases
have ensued. Partly in response to the rate increases and as
part of his environmental agenda, Pennsylvania Governor Edward
Rendell announced an Energy Independence Strategy earlier this
year that included a package of proposed legislation. Provisions
of that legislation would, among other things, require default
suppliers such as PECO to procure electricity for their
default-service customers, after the end of their electric
restructuring period (post-2010 for PECO), through a least-cost
portfolio approach, with preferences for conservation and
renewable power. The legislation also would require installation
of metering technology to provide time-of-use rates to retail
customers, provide for a phase-in of increased generation rates
after expiration of rate caps, permit distribution companies to
enter into long-term contracts with large industrial customers,
and create a fee on electric consumption that the state would
direct toward conservation and renewable technologies. On
July 18, 2007, Governor Rendell signed into law
HB 1203, amending the AEPS Act (amending the force majeure
and solar provisions), and HB1530, which amends Title 66 of
the Pennsylvania Utility Code, allowing electric distribution
companies to negotiate special contracts for larger customers.
Other elements of the Governors proposed energy package
will be considered further at a special legislative session to
be held beginning September 17, 2007.
Procurement Auctions (Exelon and
Generation). Generations power purchase
agreement (PPA) with ComEd expired at the end of 2006. In
September 2006, Generation participated in and won portions of
the ComEd and Ameren procurement auctions. As a result of the
expiration of the PPA and the results of the auctions, beginning
in 2007, Generation is selling more power through bilateral
agreements. Generation has credit risk associated with
counterparty performance on energy contracts which includes, but
is not limited to, the risk of financial default or slow
payment; therefore, Generations credit risk profile has
changed based on the credit-worthiness of the new and existing
counterparties, including ComEd and Ameren. Additionally, due to
the risk of rate freeze legislation in Illinois affecting both
ComEd and Ameren, Generation may be subject to a higher risk of
default. If ComEd and Ameren experience adverse financial
consequences as a result of any rate freeze or other harmful
legislation, there could be material adverse consequences to
Exelon and Generation, including, but not limited to:
uncertainty in collection of Generations receivables from
ComEd and Ameren for the electricity previously provided under
the supplier forward contracts; uncertainty in the enforcement
of Generations rights under its supplier forward contracts
with ComEd and Ameren and possible negative income tax
consequences. A default by ComEd or Ameren on contracts for the
purchase of electricity could alter the wholesale power markets
and result in Generation selling more power in spot markets.
Market-Based Rates (Exelon and
Generation). Generation sells energy pursuant
to market-based rate authority that was granted by FERC. On
May 19, 2006, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed
Rule Making (NOPR) on Market-Based Rates for Wholesale
Sales of Electric Energy, Capacity and Ancillary Services by
Public Utilities.

COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The NOPR proposes a set of regulations that would modify the
tests that Exelon and other market participants must satisfy to
be entitled to market-based rates. On June 21, 2007, FERC
issued a Final Rule. Exelon and Generation are currently
evaluating impact of the Final Rule.
On December 15, 2006, Generation made a Change in Status
(CIS) filing with FERC. The triggering event was the end of the
full-requirements PPA between Generation and ComEd and the
resulting increase in Generations uncommitted capacity. A
CIS filing is required when there is a material change in status
relied upon by FERC when granting market-based rates authority.
Generations filing, supported by an updated market-power
analysis, demonstrated that Generation continues to be entitled
to market-based rates. The time period for interventions expired
on January 5, 2007, no party intervened, and on
February 9, 2007, FERC accepted Generations CIS
filing.
Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) (Exelon and
Generation). On August 31, 2005, PJM
filed its RPM with FERC to replace its current capacity market
rules. The RPM proposal provided for a forward capacity auction
using a demand curve and locational deliverability zones for
capacity phased in over a several year period beginning on
June 1, 2006. On November 5, 2005, PJM proposed to
delay the effective date of the RPM until June 1, 2007. On
April 20, 2006, FERC issued an order generally finding
aspects of PJMs RPM filing to be just and reasonable, but
FERC also established further procedures to resolve the
remaining issues and encouraged the parties to seek a negotiated
resolution. A final settlement was filed with FERC on
September 29, 2006 and FERC issued its order approving the
settlement, subject to conditions, on December 22, 2006. On
June 25, 2007, FERC issued an order denying rehearing on
all substantive matters relating to the settlement. FERCs
adoption of the settlement proposal of September 2006 has had a
favorable impact for owners of generation facilities, and
particularly for such facilities located in constrained zones.
FERC has also denied requests for rehearing of its
April 20, 2006 order described above. The time for filing a
petition for review of FERCs April 2006 order expired on
February 20, 2007 without any petition for review having
been filed. FERCs December 22, 2006 order approving
the settlement, subject to conditions, is subject to requests
for rehearing and judicial review. Notwithstanding, PJM has
implemented RPM in 2007 as FERCs orders were not stayed,
and therefore remained in effect, pending appellate review, as
applicable. The first auction took place in April 2007 and
resulted in Generation auctioning capacity at prices ranging
from $40.80/MW to $197.67/MW per day for the regions in which
Generation has capacity for the period from June 1, 2007
through May 31, 2008. The second auction took place in July
2007 and resulted in Generation auctioning capacity at prices
ranging from $111.92/MW to $148.80/MW per day for the regions in
which Generation has capacity for the period from June 1,
2008 through May 31, 2009. Subsequent auctions will be
conducted in October 2007 and January 2008 to auction capacity
for periods through May 2011.
Marginal-Loss Pricing (Exelon and
Generation). On June 1, 2007, PJM
implemented marginal-loss dispatch and settlement for its
competitive wholesale electric market. Marginal-loss dispatch
recognizes the varying delivery costs of transmitting
electricity from individual generator locations to the places
where customers consume the energy. Prior to the implementation
of marginal-loss dispatch, PJM had used average losses in
dispatch and in the calculation of locational marginal prices.
Locational marginal prices in PJM now include the real-time
impact of transmission losses from individual sources to loads.
PJM believes that the marginal-loss approach is more efficient
because the cost of energy that is lost in transmission lines is
reduced compared with the former average loss method. Exelon and
Generation continue to evaluate the impact that marginal-loss
pricing in PJM will have on the results of operations. As a
whole, Exelon and Generation expect to experience an increase in
the cost of delivering energy from the generating plant
locations to customer load zones due to the implementation of
marginal-loss pricing.

Intangible

Goodwill (Exelon and ComEd). As of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Exelon and ComEd
had goodwill of approximately $2.6 billion and
$2.7 billion, respectively. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is tested for
impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or
circumstances indicate that it is more likely than
not that goodwill might be impaired, such as a significant
negative regulatory outcome. Exelon and ComEd perform their
annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of
each year.
ComEd and Exelon reviewed the regulatory and economic impacts of
the Settlement discussed in Note 5 Regulatory
Issues related to goodwill. This assessment determined that the
Settlement was not a trigger (as defined in
SFAS No. 142) to review goodwill on an interim
basis as it is not more likely than not that
goodwill is impaired.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period
from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 were as

Interest-Rate
Swaps (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
The fair values of Exelons, Generations,
ComEds and PECOs interest-rate swaps are determined
using quoted exchange prices, external dealer prices and
available market pricing curves.
Fair-Value Hedges. The Registrants may utilize
fixed-to-floating interest-rate swaps from time to time as a
means to achieve their targeted level of variable-rate debt as a
percent of total debt. At June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, Exelon had $100 million and
$50 million, respectively, of notional amounts of
fair-value hedges outstanding. Fixed-to-floating interest-rate
swaps are designated as fair-value hedges, as defined in
SFAS No. 133, and, as such, changes in the fair value
of the swaps are recorded in earnings; however, as long as the
hedge remains effective and the underlying liability remains
outstanding, changes in the fair value of the swaps are offset
by changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities. Any
change in the fair value of the hedge as a result of
ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in earnings. During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no
amounts relating to fair-value hedges were recorded in earnings
as a result of ineffectiveness.
Cash-Flow Hedges. The Registrants utilize
interest rate derivatives from time to time to lock in
interest-rate levels in anticipation of future financings.
Forward-starting interest-rate swaps are designated as cash-flow
hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, and, as such,
changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other
comprehensive income (OCI). Any change in the fair value of the
hedge as a result of ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in
earnings. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Registrants did
not have any notional amounts of interest-rate related cash-flow

June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Registrants did not reclassify
any amounts from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of
ineffectiveness.
Energy-Related
Derivatives (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Generation utilizes derivatives to manage the utilization of its
available generating capacity and the provision of wholesale
energy to its affiliates and others. Exelon and Generation also
utilize energy option contracts and energy financial swap
arrangements to limit the market price risk associated with
forward energy commodity contracts. Additionally, Generation
enters into certain energy-related derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes.
The Registrants energy contracts are accounted for under
SFAS No. 133. Economic hedges may qualify for the
normal purchases and normal sales exception to
SFAS No. 133 and are accounted for under the accrual
method of accounting. Those that do not meet the normal
purchases and normal sales exception are recorded as assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the
derivatives recorded at fair value are recognized in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and they are
designated as cash-flow hedges, in which case those changes are
recorded in OCI, and gains and losses are recognized in earnings
when the underlying transaction occurs or are designated as
fair-value hedges, in which case those changes are recognized in
current earnings offset by changes in the fair value of the
hedged item in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of
derivative contracts that do not meet the hedge criteria under
SFAS No. 133 (or are not designated as such) and
proprietary trading contracts, in the case of Generation, are
recognized in current earnings. Generation also has contracted
for access to additional generation and sales to load-serving
entities that are accounted for under the accrual method of
accounting discussed in Note 18 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelons 2006
Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
ComEd has derivatives to manage its market price exposures to
certain wholesale contracts that extend through 2008. The
contracts that ComEd has entered into as part of the initial
ComEd auction (See Note 5 Regulatory

Issues) are deemed to be derivatives that qualify for the normal

ComEd does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading
purposes.
Some of PECOs gas supply agreements are derivatives that
qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception to
SFAS No. 133. PECO does not enter into derivatives for
speculative or trading purposes.
At June 30, 2007, Exelon, Generation and ComEd had net

Normal Operations and Hedging Activities
(Generation). Electricity available from
Generations owned or contracted generation supply in
excess of Generations obligations to customers, including
ComEds contracted auction requirement and PECOs
retail load, is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce price
risk caused by market fluctuations, Generation enters into
physical contracts as well as derivative contracts, including
forwards, futures, swaps and options, with approved
counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures.
Cash-Flow Hedges (Generation and ComEd). The
tables below provide details of effective cash-flow hedges under
SFAS No. 133 included on Exelons,
Generations and ComEds Consolidated Balance Sheets
as of June 30, 2007. The data in the table is indicative of
the magnitude of SFAS No. 133 hedges Generation and
ComEd have in place; however, since under SFAS No. 133
not all derivatives are recorded in OCI, the table does not
provide an all-encompassing picture of Generations and
ComEds derivatives. The tables also include the activity
of accumulated OCI related to cash-flow hedges for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, providing
information about the changes in the fair value of hedges and
the reclassification from accumulated OCI into earnings.

At June 30, 2007, Generation had net unrealized pre-tax
gains on cash-flow hedges of $55 million in accumulated
OCI. Based on market prices at June 30, 2007, approximately
$125 million of these deferred net pre-tax unrealized gains
on derivative instruments in accumulated OCI are expected to be
reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months by
Generation. However, the actual amount reclassified to earnings
could vary due to future changes in market prices. Amounts
recorded in accumulated OCI related to changes in energy
commodity cash-flow hedges are reclassified to earnings when the
forecasted purchase or sale of the energy commodity occurs.
Generation expects that the majority of its cash-flow hedges
will settle within the next two years.
Generations cash-flow hedge activity impact to pre-tax
earnings based on the reclassification adjustment from
accumulated OCI to earnings was an $8 million and
$29 million pre-tax gain for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively, and a $36 million and
$112 million pre-tax loss for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, respectively. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, amounts reclassified
from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of
ineffectiveness were not material to the financial statements.
Other Derivatives (Exelon, Generation and
ComEd). Exelon, Generation and ComEd enter into
certain contracts that are derivatives, but do not qualify for
hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 or are not
designated as cash-flow hedges. These contracts are also entered
into to economically hedge and limit the market price risk
associated with energy commodity prices. Changes in the fair
value of these derivative contracts are recognized in current
earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, Exelon, Generation and ComEd

Proprietary Trading Activities
(Generation). Proprietary trading includes all
contracts entered into purely to profit from market price
changes as opposed to hedging an exposure and is subject to
limits established by Exelons Risk Oversight Committee.
These contracts are recognized on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets at fair value and changes in the fair value of these
derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings. The
proprietary trading activities, which included volumes of 4,775
GWhs and 9,876 GWhs for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively, and 7,769 GWhs and 14,754 GWhs
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
respectively, are a complement to Generations energy
marketing portfolio but represent a very small portion of
Generations revenue from energy marketing activities. For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
Exelon and Generation recognized the following net unrealized
mark-to-market gains, realized mark-to-market losses and total
net mark-to-market gains (before income taxes) relating to
mark-to-market activity on derivative instruments entered into
for trading purposes. Gains and losses associated with
proprietary trading are reported as revenue in Exelons and
Generations Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income.

Credit
Risk Associated with Derivative Instruments (Exelon and
Generation)
The Registrants would be exposed to credit-related losses in the
event of non-performance by counterparties that enter into
derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivatives
contracts is represented by the fair value of contracts at the
reporting date. For energy-related derivative instruments,
Generation attempts to enter into enabling agreements that allow
for payment netting with its counterparties, which reduces
Generations exposure to counterparty risk by providing for
the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against
amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each
enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and so, with
respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited to
transactions involving that specific commodity product, except
where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that
allows for cross product netting. In addition to payment netting
language in the enabling agreement, the credit department
establishes credit limits and letter of credit requirements for
each counterparty, which are defined in the derivatives
contracts. Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal
credit review that considers a variety of factors, including the
results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability,
credit ratings and risk management capabilities. To the extent
that a counterpartys credit limit and letter of credit
thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to post
collateral with Generation as specified in each enabling
agreement. Generations credit department monitors current
and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their
affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.
Under the Illinois auction rules and the supplier forward
contracts that Generation entered into with ComEd and Ameren,
beginning in 2007, collateral postings have been one-sided from
Generation only. That is, when market prices have fallen below
ComEds or Amerens contracted price levels, ComEd or
Ameren have not been required to post collateral; however, when
market prices have risen above contracted price levels with
ComEd or Ameren, Generation has been required to post collateral.
The notional amount of derivatives does not represent amounts
that are exchanged by the parties and, thus, is not a measure of
the Registrants exposure. The amounts exchanged are
calculated on the basis of the notional or

contract amounts, as well as on the other terms of the
derivatives, which relate to interest rates and the volatility
of these rates. Exelons and Generations credit
exposure, net of collateral, as of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 were $870 million and
$791 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, Generation had $257 million of
collateral deposit payments being held by counterparties and
Generation was holding $6 million of collateral deposits
received from counterparties.

Retirement
Benefits (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
|
Exelon sponsors defined benefit pension plans and postretirement
benefit plans for essentially all Generation, ComEd, PECO and
Exelon Corporate employees, except for those employees of
Generations wholly owned subsidiary, AmerGen, who
participate in the separate AmerGen-sponsored defined benefit
pension plan and postretirement benefit plan.
In 2006, President Bush signed into law the Pension Protection
Act of 2006 (the Act), which will affect the manner in which
many companies, including Exelon and Generation, administer
their pension plans. This legislation will be effective as of
January 1, 2008 and may require companies to, among other
things, increase the amount by which they fund their pension
plans, pay higher premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation if they sponsor defined benefit plans, amend plan
documents and provide additional plan disclosures in regulatory
filings and to plan participants. The Registrants are currently
unable to determine whether the Act or possible further
regulation will have a material impact on their liquidity and
capital resources. The Registrants are currently assessing the
potential impact of the Act.
Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Consolidated Plans (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and
PECO)
In the second quarter of 2007, Exelon received the final
valuations of its pension and other postretirement benefit
obligations to reflect actual census data as of
December 31, 2006. This valuation resulted in an increase
to the pension obligations of $17 million and a decrease to
other postretirement obligations of $75 million.
Additionally, OCI increased by approximately $19 million.
The impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and
Comprehensive Income is not material.
The following tables present the components of Exelons net
periodic benefit costs for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006. The 2007 pension benefit cost is
calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets of 8.75%. The 2007 other postretirement benefit cost is
calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets of 7.87%. A portion of the net periodic benefit cost is
capitalized within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Exelon calculates the expected return on pension and other
postretirement benefit plan assets by multiplying the expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets by the market-related
value (MRV) of plan assets at the beginning of the year, taking
into consideration anticipated contributions and benefit
payments that are to be made during the year.
SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for
Pensions and SFAS No. 106, Employers
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
allow the MRV of plan assets to be either fair value or a
calculated value that recognizes changes in fair value in a
systematic and rational manner over not more than five years.
Exelon uses a calculated value when determining the MRV of the
pension plan assets that adjusts for 20% of the difference
between fair value and expected MRV of plan assets. This
calculated value has the effect of stabilizing variability in
assets to which Exelon applies that expected return. Exelon uses
fair value when determining the MRV of the other postretirement
benefit plan assets.

Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefits AmerGen Plans
(Generation)
The following tables present the components of net periodic
benefit costs for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006 for the AmerGen-sponsored plans. The 2007 pension
benefit cost is calculated using an expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets of 8.75%. A portion of the net periodic
benefit cost is capitalized within the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. AmerGen uses fair value for purposes of determining the
MRV of the pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, Exelon,
Generation, ComEd, and PECO have identified unrecognized tax
benefits of $1.5 billion, $311 million,
$797 million and $318 million, respectively, as of
January 1, 2007.
Generation has identified $51 million of its unrecognized
tax expense at January 1, 2007 that, if recognized, would
increase the effective tax rate. ComEd has identified
$21 million of its unrecognized tax benefit at
January 1, 2007 that, if recognized, would decrease the
effective tax rate.
Generation and PECO have reflected in their Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of January 1, 2007 a net interest receivable of
$1 million and $21 million, respectively, related to
their uncertain income tax positions. Exelon and

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
ComEd have reflected in their Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
January 1, 2007 a net interest liability of
$130 million and $167 million, respectively, related
to their uncertain income tax positions. The Registrants have
not accrued any penalties with respect to unrecognized income
tax benefits. The Registrants recognize accrued interest related
to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense or interest
income in operating and maintenance expense on their
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Exelon has reflected in
its Consolidated Statement of Operations net interest expense of
$6 million and $10 million related to its uncertain
income tax positions for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively. ComEd has reflected in its
Consolidated Statement of Operations net interest expense of
$8 million and $17 million related to its uncertain
income tax positions for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively. PECO has reflected in its
Consolidated Income Statement net interest income of
$2 million and $5 million related to its uncertain
income tax positions for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively.
Exelon and its subsidiaries file a consolidated
U.S. Federal income tax return as well as unitary and
combined income tax returns in several state jurisdictions with
Illinois being the most significant. Exelon and its subsidiaries
also file separate company income tax returns in several states
with Pennsylvania being the most significant. Exelon and its
subsidiaries have completed examinations by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) for taxable years prior to 1999; however several
tax issues remain unresolved for tax years prior to 1999 and
have been protested to IRS Appeals, the next administrative
level within the IRS. In the second quarter of 2004, the IRS
commenced an audit of Exelon and its subsidiaries for taxable
years 1999 through 2001 and is expected to complete the audit by
the end of 2007. Exelon and its subsidiaries have also completed
examinations by the state of Illinois for taxable years prior to
1999 and by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the separate
company income tax returns for taxable years ending from 2000 to
2003. However, to the extent adjustments are made to these prior
years as either part of a settlement at IRS Appeals or IRS
Examination, the state taxable income may also be adjusted.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next
twelve months as a result of settling several uncertain tax
positions. ComEd is in the process of negotiating with IRS
Appeals a settlement related to research and development refund
claims filed by ComEd for taxable years 1989 through 1998. At
this point, an estimate of a change, if any, to the unrecognized
tax benefit amount cannot be made. A majority of the refund
claim relates to ComEds formerly owned generation
property. Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement between ComEd
and Generation, any current tax benefit related to this
unrecognized tax benefit as well as a portion of the related
interest income would be recorded to ComEds goodwill as it
relates to taxable periods prior to the PECO / Unicom
merger as required under
EITF 93-7.
Generation would record the offsetting future deferred tax
effects, which would impact future period earnings. ComEd and
PECO also have several other issues at IRS Appeals for taxable
years 1996 through 1998 that, if settled, would not
significantly increase or decrease the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits.
Exelon filed refund claims for investment tax credits with
respect to its utility property with the Illinois Department of
Revenue. Although those claims were denied by the Illinois
Department of Revenue, Exelon has filed a suit for a refund. The
case is now before the Illinois Appellate Court and a decision
is likely to occur within the next twelve months. It is
reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefit
will decrease by as much as $71 million, $16 million
and $55 million for Exelon, Generation and ComEd,
respectively.
As part of the Federal examination of taxable years 1999 through
2001, the IRS has issued proposed adjustments related to
ComEds deferral of gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil
plants. See 1999 Sale of Fossil Generating Assets
below for details. ComEds management is in the process of
evaluating its options with respect to the proposed tax
deficiency. Those options include either protesting the
disallowance to the IRS Appeals Division or possible litigation.
If ComEds management decides to litigate the matter, ComEd
may be required to pay the tax and related interest due on the
deficiency and file for refund. Upon payment of the tax and
related interest, ComEd

STATEMENTS (Continued)
would reassess its tax position with respect to the gain
deferral of the fossil plant sale. As a result of this
reassessment, the unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by as
much as $428 million.
The IRS proposed an adjustment requiring the capitalization of
certain merger costs previously deducted, associated with the
PECO / Unicom merger. In the second quarter of 2007,
management agreed to accept the IRS adjustment to
capitalize the merger costs. Exelon and PECO reduced the amount
of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $16 million
and $10 million, respectively.
Generation and ComEd filed refund claims related to taxable
years 1999 through 2004 for research and development
expenditures. The IRS is in the early stages of the audit of
those claims. At this point, an estimate of a change, if any, to
the unrecognized tax benefit amount cannot be made.
In 2001, ComEd and PECO filed a request with the IRS to change
their tax method of accounting for certain capitalized overhead
costs. The requested tax method of accounting, the Simplified
Service Cost Method (SSCM), is expressly permitted under IRS
regulations. The effect of the tax method change results in the
immediate expensing of certain overhead costs that were
previously capitalized to self-constructed property. During the
first quarter of 2007, the IRS granted the tax method change. In
April 2007, ComEd and PECO signed consent agreements, thus
making the tax method change effective as of that date. The
consent agreement has terms and conditions that subject the
change to certain published guidance as well as future
guidelines and directives to be issued by the IRS. As a result
of the uncertainty of forthcoming IRS settlement guidelines,
ComEd and PECO are currently unable to estimate the tax benefit
associated with the SSCM. ComEd and PECO have entered into an
agreement with a tax consultant related to the filing of this
tax method change request. The fee for this agreement is
contingent upon receiving consent from the IRS and is based upon
a percentage of the refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. The
ultimate net cash impacts to ComEd and PECO related to this
agreement will either be positive or neutral depending upon the
outcome of the refund claim with the IRS. A portion of the tax
refund, if any, will likely relate to ComEd and PECOs
formerly owned generation property and thus the current tax
benefits will be recorded by ComEd and PECO with partially
offsetting deferred tax effects at Generation. These potential
tax benefits and associated fees would be recorded in accordance
with FIN 48 and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies (SFAS No. 5), respectively, and
could be material to the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of Generation, ComEd and PECO.
Certain of ComEd and PECOs tax positions evaluated under
FIN 48 are dependent on ComEd and PECO having sufficient
tax basis in their fixed assets. Should ComEd and PECO obtain
any future benefit associated with the SSCM accounting method
change, it will require a reduction to the tax basis of assets.
As a result, the SSCM could have an effect on the unrecognized
tax benefits associated with other tax positions that are
dependent on tax basis.
1999
Sale of Fossil Generating Assets (Exelon, Generation and
ComEd)
Exelon, through its ComEd subsidiary, has taken certain tax
positions, which have been disclosed to the IRS, to defer the
tax gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. As of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, deferred tax
liabilities related to the fossil plant sale are reflected in
Exelons Consolidated Balance Sheets with the majority
allocated to ComEd and the remainder to Generation. The Federal
tax returns and related tax return disclosures covering the
period of the 1999 sale are currently under IRS audit.
Exelons ability to continue to defer all or a portion of
this liability depends on whether its treatment of the sales
proceeds, as having been received in connection with an
involuntary conversion is proper pursuant to applicable law. In
November 2006, ComEd received from the IRS a notice of proposed
adjustment disallowing the deferral of gain associated with its
position that proceeds from the fossil plant sales resulted from
an involuntary conversion.

PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Exelons and ComEds ability to continue to defer the
remainder of the tax liability on the fossil plant sale may
depend in part on whether its tax characterization of a sale
leaseback transaction Exelon entered into in connection with the
fossil plant sale is proper pursuant to applicable law. In
February 2007, Exelon received from the IRS a notice of proposed
adjustment disallowing the deferral of gain associated with its
sale-leaseback transaction. The IRS has indicated its position
that the Exelon sale leaseback transaction is substantially
similar to a leasing transaction, a sale-in, lease-out (SILO),
the IRS is treating as a listed transaction pursuant
to guidance it issued in 2005. A listed transaction is one,
which the IRS considers to be a potentially abusive tax shelter.
Exelon disagrees with the IRSs characterization of its
sale-leaseback as a SILO and believes its position is justified
and will continue to aggressively defend that position upon
audit and any subsequent appeals or litigation.
In final form, both the disallowance for the involuntary
conversion and the like kind exchange transactions will be in
the IRS audit report expected to be issued in the third
quarter of 2007. Upon receipt of the final IRS report, Exelon
will have the opportunity to either appeal the disallowance to
IRS Appeals, the next administrative level of the IRS, or
litigate the matter. If Exelons and ComEds
management decide to litigate the matter, it may be required to
pay the tax and related interest due on the deficiency and file
for refund.
A successful IRS challenge to ComEds positions would
accelerate future income tax payments and increase interest
expense related to the deferred tax gain that becomes currently
payable. As of June 30, 2007, Exelons and
ComEds potential cash outflow, including tax and interest
(after tax), could be as much as $983 million. If the
deferral were successfully challenged by the IRS, it could
negatively impact Exelons and ComEds results of
operations by as much as $153 million (after tax) related
to interest expense. Exelons and ComEds management
believe an appropriate reserve for interest has been recorded in
accordance with FIN 48; however, the ultimate outcome of
such matters could result in unfavorable or favorable impacts to
the results of operations, and such adjustments could be
material. Final resolution of this matter is not anticipated for
several years.
Investments
in Synthetic Fuel-Producing Facilities (Exelon)
Exelon, through three separate wholly owned subsidiaries, owns
interests in two limited liability companies and one limited
partnership (collectively, the Sellers) that own synthetic
fuel-producing facilities. Section 45K (formerly
Section 29) of the Internal Revenue Code provides tax
credits for the sale of synthetic fuel produced from coal.
However, Section 45K contains a provision under which the
tax credits are phased out (i.e., eliminated) in the event crude
oil prices for a year exceed certain thresholds. Exelon is
required to pay for tax credits based on the production of the
facilities regardless of whether or not a phase-out of the tax
credits is anticipated. However, Exelon has the legal right to
recover a portion of the payments made to the Sellers related to
phased-out tax credits.
In April 2007, the IRS published the 2006 oil Reference Price
which resulted in a 33% phase-out of tax credits for calendar
year 2006 which reduced Exelons earned after-tax credits
of $164 million to $110 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, Exelon had
estimated the 2006 phase-out to be 38% and had receivables on
its Consolidated Balance Sheet from the Sellers totaling
$63 million associated with the portion of the payments
previously made to the Sellers related to tax credits that were
anticipated to be phased out for 2006. The difference between
the actual 2006 phase-out and the 2006 phase-out previously
estimated resulted in a $9 million increase in 2006 tax
credits and a corresponding $6 million decrease, net of the
related tax benefit, in the receivables due from the Sellers,
which has been reflected in Exelons operating results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

The estimated 2007 phase-out range
as of June 30, 2007 is based upon the actual 2006 phase-out
range. The actual 2006 phase-out range was determined using the
inflation adjustment factor published by the IRS in April 2007.
The actual 2006 phase-out range was increased by 2%
(Exelons estimate of inflation) to arrive at the estimated
2007 phase-out range.
|
At June 30, 2007, Exelon had receivables on its
Consolidated Balance Sheet from the Sellers totaling
$34 million associated with the portion of the payments
previously made to the Sellers related to tax credits that are
anticipated to be phased out in 2007. As of June 30, 2007,
Exelon has estimated the 2007 phase-out to be 25%, which has
reduced Exelons earned after-tax credits of
$139 million to $105 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. These credits may be further phased out
during the remainder of 2007 depending on the price of oil;
however, as these tax credits are phased out, Exelon anticipates
recording income through the establishment of additional
receivables from the Sellers or from derivatives entered into in
2005 (as more fully described below) depending on the magnitude
of the credits phased-out.
In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered into certain derivatives
in the normal course of trading operations to economically hedge
a portion of the exposure to a phase-out of the tax credits. One
of the Sellers has security interests in these derivatives.
Including the related mark-to-market gains and losses on these
derivatives, interests in synthetic fuel-producing facilities
increased Exelons net income by $27 million and
reduced Exelons net income by $55 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Additionally, interests in synthetic fuel-producing facilities
increased Exelons net income by $52 million and
reduced Exelons net income by $43 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Exelon anticipates that it will continue to record income or
losses related to the mark-to-market gains or losses on its
derivative instruments and changes to the tax credits earned by
Exelon during the period of production as a result of volatility
in oil prices.
Net income from interests in synthetic fuel-producing facilities
is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income within income taxes, operating and
maintenance expense, depreciation and amortization expense,
interest expense, equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates
and investments and other, net.
There are provisions in the agreements between the parties, such
as low production volume, unanimous consents between the parties
and defaults by the parties, which would allow or cause an early
termination of the partnerships. If none of the parties to the
agreements takes action to terminate the partnerships early, the
partnerships will terminate in 2008.
The non-recourse notes payable principal balance was
$56 million and $108 million at June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. The non-recourse notes
payable can be relieved either through eventual payments or
possibly through extinguishment, which may occur subsequent to
termination of the partnership pursuant to the agreements
between the parties.

Nuclear
Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)
Exelon, Generation and AmerGen have legal obligations to
decommission their nuclear power plants following the expiration
of their operating licenses. Exelon, Generation and AmerGen will
pay for their respective obligations using trust funds that have
been established for this purpose.
The following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear

Exelon and Generation update their nuclear decommissioning AROs
on a periodic basis; however, there were no changes in the
underlying assumptions that would result in a significant change
to the estimated future cash flows during the six months ended
June 30, 2007.
During the second quarter of 2006, Generation recorded a net
decrease in the ARO of approximately $604 million and
pre-tax income of $149 million resulting from revisions to
estimated future nuclear decommissioning cash flows, primarily
due to revised management assumptions concerning an increased
likelihood of successful nuclear license renewal efforts due to
an increasingly favorable environment for nuclear power and,
therefore, an increased likelihood of operating the nuclear
plants through a full license extension period, and also due to
a change in managements expectation of when the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will establish a repository
for and begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. The recognition of
other operating income by Exelon and Generation of
$149 million (pre-tax) was included in operating and
maintenance expense in Exelons and Generations
Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, representing
the reduction in the ARO in excess of the existing ARC balance
primarily for the AmerGen units.
Nuclear
Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments
The trust funds that have been established to satisfy
Exelons and Generations nuclear decommissioning
obligations were originally funded with amounts collected from
customers. Certain of these trust funds will continue to be
funded by future collections from PECO customers.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Exelon and
Generation had nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments
totaling $6,777 million and $6,415 million,
respectively.
At June 30, 2007, Exelon and Generation had gross
unrealized gains of $1,532 million, related to the nuclear
decommissioning trust fund investments, of which
$1,218 million associated with the former ComEd and former
PECO trusts was included in regulatory liabilities on
Exelons Consolidated Balance Sheets and in noncurrent
payables to affiliates on Generations Consolidated Balance
Sheets. The remaining $314 million gross unrealized gains
associated with the unregulated portions of Peach Bottom and
AmerGen trusts are included in accumulated OCI on Exelons
and Generations Consolidated Balance Sheets. At
December 31, 2006, Exelon and Generation had gross
unrealized gains of $1,287 million, related to the nuclear
decommissioning trust fund investments, of which
$1,037 million associated with the former ComEd and former
PECO trusts was included in regulatory liabilities on
Exelons Consolidated Balance Sheets and in noncurrent

Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining $250 million
gross unrealized gains associated with the unregulated portions
of Peach Bottom and AmerGen trusts are included in accumulated
OCI on Exelons and Generations Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Exelon and Generation consider all nuclear
decommissioning trust fund investments in an unrealized loss
position to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As a result of
certain Nuclear Regulatory Commission restrictions, Exelon and
Generation are unable to demonstrate the ability and intent to
hold the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments through
a recovery period and accordingly recognize any unrealized
holding losses immediately. For the three months ended
June 30, 2007, Generation recorded impairment charges
totaling $12 million, $1 million and $1 million
associated with the nuclear decommissioning trust funds for the
former ComEd, the former PECO and the AmerGen units,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007,
Generation recorded impairment charges totaling
$20 million, $1 million and $3 million associated
with the nuclear decommissioning trust funds for the former
ComEd, the former PECO and the AmerGen units, respectively.
Generation recorded impairment charges totaling $7 million
and $10 million associated with the nuclear decommissioning
trust funds for the former ComEd units for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
As a result of the sale of nuclear decommissioning trust fund
investments, Exelon and Generation realized net gains of
$10 million and $19 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and realized net
losses of $9 million and $11 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, on nuclear
decommissioning trust funds.

Restricted
Stock Units
Beginning in January 2007, Exelon began granting key managers
restricted stock units in lieu of stock options through its
long-term incentive plans. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, Exelon granted 0 and 331,745 restricted
stock units, respectively, which will vest and settle over a
three-year period. Prior to 2007, Exelon utilized restricted
stock on a limited basis primarily to compensate executive
management.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123-R),
the cost of services received from employees in exchange for the
issuance of restricted stock units is required to be measured

based on the grant-date fair value of the restricted stock unit
issued. The value of the restricted stock units at the date of
grant is either amortized through expense over the requisite
service period using the straight-line method or capitalized.
For non-retirement eligible individuals, the substantive service
period was determined to be the three-year vesting period. The
cost associated with restricted stock units granted to employees
who are retirement eligible is recognized immediately upon the
date of grant, as the employees are not required to render any
further service to earn the restricted stock units. For
employees who become retirement eligible during the vesting
period, the cost of the restricted stock units is recognized on
a straight-line basis from the grant date until they become
retirement eligible.
The holders of the restricted stock units will be issued shares
of common stock annually during the vesting period of three
years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
Exelon had costs of $2 million and $7 million,
respectively, related to restricted stock units granted to key
managers in lieu of stock options.

Commitments
and Contingencies (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
|
For information regarding capital commitments and nuclear
decommissioning at December 31, 2006, see Notes 13 and
18 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
All significant contingencies are disclosed below.
Energy
Commitments
Generations long-term commitments relating to the purchase
from and sale to unaffiliated utilities and others of energy,
capacity and transmission rights as of June 30, 2007 did
not change significantly from December 31, 2006, except for
the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Generations total commitments for future sales of energy
to unaffiliated third-party utilities and others decreased by
approximately $760 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, reflecting increases of approximately
$819 million, $495 million and $124 million
related to 2008, 2009 and 2010 sales commitments, respectively,
offset by the fulfillment of approximately $2,198 million
of 2007 commitments during the six months ended June 30,
2007. The increases were primarily due to increased forward
sales of energy to counterparties other than ComEd as a result
of the expiration of the PPA with ComEd on December 31,
2006, as well as increased overall hedging activity in the
normal course of business.
|
|
|
|
On April 4, 2007, Generation agreed to sell its rights to
942 MWs of capacity, energy, and ancillary services
supplied from its existing long-term contract with Tenaska
Georgia Partners, LP through a tolling agreement with Georgia
Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, commencing June 1,
2010 and lasting for 15 or 20 years. The transaction
between Generation and Georgia Power is subject to approval by
the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC). Upon approval of
the transaction by the GPSC, Exelon and Generation will
recognize a non-cash after-tax loss of up to $75 million.
Generation expects to receive approval from the GPSC during the
third quarter of 2007. The transaction provides Generation with
approximately $43 million in annual revenue in the form of
capacity payments over the term of the tolling agreement.
|
As a result of the first reverse-auction competitive bidding
process, ComEd is procuring substantially all of its supply
under supplier forward contracts with various suppliers. See
Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for further information.

Fuel
Purchase Obligations
Generations and PECOs fuel purchase obligations as
of June 30, 2007 did not change significantly from
December 31, 2006, except for the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Generations total fuel purchase obligations for nuclear
and fossil generation as of June 30, 2007 increased by
$108 million, $120 million, $95 million,
$102 million, and $293 million for 2008, 2009, 2010,
2011, 2012 and beyond, respectively, as compared to
December 31, 2006 due to contracts entered into in the
normal course of business.
|
|
|
|
PECOs total fuel purchase obligations increased by
approximately $134 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, reflecting an increase of $18 million,
$63 million, $34 million and $19 million in 2007,
2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, primarily related to the
purchase of natural gas and related transportation services.
|
Commercial
and Construction Commitments
Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs
commercial commitments as of June 30, 2007, representing
commitments potentially triggered by future events, did not
change significantly from December 31, 2006, except for the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
Exelons letters of credit increased $42 million and
guarantees increased by $209 million primarily as a result
of leasing activities, energy trading and performance guarantees.
|
|
|
|
Generations letters of credit increased by
$41 million and its guarantees increased by
$176 million primarily as a result of energy trading
activities and the performance guaranty agreement entered into
in connection with the sale of TEG and TEP.
|
Under their operating agreements with PJM, ComEd and PECO are
committed to construct transmission facilities. ComEd and PECO
will work with PJM to continue to evaluate the scope and timing
of any required construction projects. ComEds and

In connection with the Settlement agreement reached on
July 24, 2007 between legislative leaders in Illinois,
ComEd, Generation and other utilities and generators in
Illinois, Exelon has committed to contributing approximately
$800 million to rate relief programs over four years and
funding for the Illinois Power Agency. ComEd will continue to
execute upon its $64 million rate relief package announced
April 23, 2007, whereby $11 million of rate relief
credits had been provided by ComEd to its customers prior to
June 14, 2007. Generation would contribute an aggregate of
up to $747 million, of which $435 million would be
available to reimburse ComEd for rate relief programs for ComEd
customers, $307.5 million would be available for rate
relief programs for customers of other Illinois utilities, and
$4.5 million would be available for funding operations of
the Illinois Power Agency. The

Nuclear
Insurance
Generation is a member of an industry mutual insurance company,
Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), which provides
property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning
insurance for each station for losses resulting from damage to
its nuclear plants, either due accidents or acts of terrorism.
In the event that one or more acts of terrorism cause accidental
property damage within a twelve-month period from the first
accidental property damage under one or more policies for all
insured plants, the maximum recovery for all losses by all
insureds will be an aggregate of $3.2 billion plus such
additional amounts as the insurer may recover for all such
losses from reinsurance, indemnity and any other source,
applicable to such losses. The $3.2 billion maximum
recovery limit is not applicable, however, in the event of a
certified act of terrorism as defined in the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended, as a result
of government indemnity. Generally, a certified act of
terrorism is defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act
to be an act of terrorism committed on behalf of a foreign
person or interest, as certified by the U.S. government.
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act expires on December 31,
2007, which, if not extended, could have an impact on the
insurance coverages available to Generation. Additionally, the
expiration of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act could have an
impact on the non-nuclear insurance coverages available to the
Registrants.
Refer to Note 18 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for a full discussion of nuclear insurance.
Environmental
Liabilities
The Registrants operations have in the past and may in the
future require substantial expenditures in order to comply with
environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state
environmental laws, the Registrants are generally liable for the
costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now
or formerly owned by them and of property contaminated by
hazardous substances generated by them. The Registrants own or
lease a number of real estate parcels, including parcels on
which their operations or the operations of others may have
resulted in contamination by substances that are considered
hazardous under environmental laws. ComEd and PECO have
identified 42 and 27 sites, respectively, where former
manufactured gas plant (MGP) activities have or may have
resulted in actual site contamination. For almost all of these
sites, ComEd or PECO is one of several Potentially Responsible
Parties (PRPs), which may be responsible for ultimate
remediation of each location. Of these 42 sites identified by
ComEd, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has approved
the clean up of 9 sites and of the 27 sites identified by PECO,
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has
approved the cleanup of 13 sites. Of the remaining sites
identified by ComEd and PECO, 20 and 9 sites, respectively, are
currently under some degree of active study
and/or
remediation. ComEd and PECO anticipate that

the majority of the remediation at these sites will continue
through at least 2015 and 2013, respectively. In addition, the
Registrants are currently involved in a number of proceedings
relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited
and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future.
ComEd and Nicor Gas Company, a subsidiary of Nicor Inc. (Nicor),
are parties to an interim agreement under which they cooperated
in remediation activities at 38 former MGP sites for which ComEd
or Nicor, or both, may have responsibility. Under the interim
agreement, costs were split evenly between ComEd and Nicor
pending their final agreement on allocation of costs at each
site. For most of the sites, the interim agreement contemplated
that neither party would pay less than 20%, or more than 80% of
the final costs for each site. Through June 30, 2007, ComEd
has incurred approximately $110 million associated with
remediation of the sites in question. On April 17, 2006,
Nicor submitted a demand for arbitration of the cost allocation
for 38 MGP sites. In July 2007, ComEd and Nicor reached an
agreement on the allocation of costs for the MGP sites. The
agreement is contingent upon ICC approval and the execution of
definitive written agreements. ComEds accrual as of
June 30, 2007 for these environmental liabilities has been
adjusted to reflect the cost allocations contemplated in the
agreement.
Based on the final order received in ComEds Rate Case,
beginning in 2007, ComEd is recovering MGP remediation costs
from customers for which it established a regulatory asset.
Pursuant to a PAPUC order, PECO is currently recovering a
provision for environmental costs annually for the remediation
of former MGP facility sites, for which PECO has recorded a
regulatory asset. See Note 14 Supplemental
Financial Information for further information regarding
regulatory assets and liabilities.
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Exelon,
Generation, ComEd and PECO had accrued the following amounts for
environmental liabilities:

Section 316(b)
of the Clean Water Act
In July 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued the final Phase II rule implementing
Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act
requires that the cooling water intake structures at electric
power plants reflect the best technology available to minimize
adverse environmental impacts. The Phase II rule
established national performance standards for reducing
entrainment and impingement of aquatic organisms at existing
power plants. The rule provided each facility with a number of
compliance options and permitted site-specific variances based
on a cost-benefit analysis. The requirements were intended to be
implemented through state-level National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit programs. All of
Generations power generation facilities with cooling water
systems are subject to the regulations. Facilities without
closed-cycle recirculating systems (e.g., cooling towers) are
potentially most affected. Those facilities are Clinton, Cromby,
Dresden, Eddystone, Fairless Hills, Handley, Mountain Creek, New
Boston, Oyster Creek, Peach Bottom, Quad Cities, Salem and
Schuylkill. Since promulgation of the rule, Generation has been
evaluating compliance options at each of its affected plants to
achieve interim compliance deadlines.
On January 25, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit issued its opinion in a challenge to the final
Phase II rule brought by environmental groups and several
states. The court found that, with respect to a number of
significant provisions of the rule, the EPA either exceeded its
authority under the Clean Water Act, failed to adequately set
forth its rationale for the rule, or failed to follow required
procedures for public notice and comment. The court remanded the
rule back to the EPA for revisions consistent with the
courts opinion. By its action, the court invalidated
compliance measures that the utility industry supported because
they were cost-effective and provided existing plants with
needed flexibility in selecting the compliance option
appropriate to its location and operations. For example, the
court found that environmental restoration does not qualify as a
compliance option and site-specific compliance variances based
on a cost-benefit analysis are impermissible.
The courts decision has created significant uncertainty
about the specific nature, scope and timing of the final
compliance requirements. Several industry parties to the
litigation sought review by the entire U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit, which was denied on July 5,
2007. Parties to the litigation have until October 3, 2007
to file a petition seeking review by the U.S. Supreme
Court. On July 9, 2007, the EPA formally suspended the
Phase II rule due to the uncertainty about the specific
compliance requirements created by the courts remand of
significant provisions of the rule. Until the EPA finalizes the
rule on remand (which could take several years), the state
permitting agencies will continue the current practice of
applying their best professional judgment to address impingement
and entrainment requirements at plant cooling water intake
structures. Due to this uncertainty, Generation cannot estimate
the effect that compliance with the Phase II rule
requirements will have on the operation of its generating
facilities and its future results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. If the final rule, or interim state
requirements under best professional judgment, have performance
standards that require the reduction of cooling water intake
flow at the plants consistent with closed loop cooling systems,
then the impact on the operation of the facilities and
Exelons and Generations future results of
operations, financial position and cash flows could be material.
In a pre-draft permit dated May 13, 2005 and a draft permit
issued on July 19, 2005, as part of the NPDES permit
renewal process for Oyster Creek that has been pending since
1999, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(NJDEP) preliminarily determined that closed-cycle cooling and
environmental restoration are the only viable compliance options
for Section 316(b) compliance at Oyster Creek. The final
permit has not been issued, and Oyster Creek has continued to
operate under the 1999 permit. Generation cannot predict with
any certainty how the NJDEP will implement its best professional
judgment. AmerGen has not made a determination regarding how it
will comply with the Section 316(b) regulations and must
first evaluate the final regulations issued by the EPA as a
result of the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit,

discussed above. In addition, the cost required to retrofit
Oyster Creek with closed cycle cooling could be material and
could therefore negatively impact Generations decision to
renew the plants operating license.
In June 2001, the NJDEP issued a renewed NPDES permit for Salem
allowing for the continued operation of Salem with its existing
cooling water system. The NPDES permit expired in July 2006.
NJDEP advised Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated
(PSEG), the plant operator, in a letter dated July 12, 2004
that it strongly recommended reducing cooling water intake flow
commensurate with closed-cycle cooling as a compliance option
for Salem. PSEG submitted an application for a renewal of the
permit on February 1, 2006. In the permit renewal
application, PSEG analyzed closed-cycle cooling and other
options and demonstrated that the continuation of the Estuary
Enhancement Program, an extensive environmental restoration
program at Salem, along with continued operation of the existing
intake, is the best available technology to meet the
Section 316(b) requirements. PSEG continues to operate
Salem under the approved June 2001 NPDES permit while the NPDES
permit renewal application is being reviewed. PSEG must evaluate
the final Phase II rule after remand, particularly whether
the restoration done under the Estuary Enhancement Project
remains a compliance option. If application of the final
Section 316(b) regulations or the NJDEP as a result of the
Phase II ruling discussed above ultimately requires the
retrofitting of Salems cooling water intake structure to
reduce cooling water intake flow commensurate with closed-cycle
cooling, Exelons and Generations share of the total
cost of the retrofit and any resulting interim replacement power
would likely be in excess of $500 million and could result
in increased depreciation expense related to the retrofit
investment.
Nuclear
Generating Station Groundwater
On December 16, 2005 and February 27, 2006, the
Illinois EPA issued violation notices to Generation alleging
violations of state groundwater standards as a result of
historical discharges of liquid tritium from a line at the
Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station (Braidwood). In November
2005, Generation discovered that spills from the line in 1996,
1998 and 2000 have resulted in a tritium plume in groundwater
that is both on and off the plant site. Levels in portions of
the plume exceed Federal limits for drinking water. However,
samples from drinking water wells on property adjacent to the
plant showed that, with one exception, tritium levels in these
wells were at levels that naturally occur. The tritium level in
one drinking water well was elevated above levels that occur
naturally, but was significantly below the state and Federal
drinking water standards, and Generation believes that this
level posed no threat to human health. Generation has
investigated the causes of the releases and has taken the
necessary corrective actions to prevent another occurrence.
Generation notified the owners of 14 potentially affected
adjacent properties that, upon sale of their property,
Generation will reimburse the owners for any diminution in
property value caused by the tritium release. As of
June 30, 2007, Generation has purchased four of the 14
adjacent properties.
On March 13, 2006, a class action lawsuit was filed against
Exelon, Generation and ComEd (as the prior owner of Braidwood)
in Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
on behalf of all persons who live or own property within
10 miles of Braidwood. Initially, the plaintiffs primarily
sought compensation for diminished property values, but in
February 2007, they amended their complaint to seek punitive
damages. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois denied the class action status of the lawsuit on
March 19, 2007. Plaintiffs requested reconsideration and
sought certification of a class of approximately
200 persons whose property allegedly had tritium at levels
below detection level, along with a class of adjacent property
owners (unspecified in number) that had allegedly been affected
by tritium from the plant. On June 8, 2007, the plaintiffs
voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.
On March 14 and 23, 2006, 37 area residents filed two separate
but identical lawsuits against Exelon, Generation and ComEd in
the Circuit Court of Will County, Illinois alleging property
contamination and seeking compensation for diminished property
values. Exelon removed these cases to Federal court, and all
three cases were

assigned to the same District Court judge. Subsequently, seven
plaintiffs withdrew from the cases, and 18 additional plaintiffs
were added. On May 17, 2007, the plaintiffs voluntarily
dismissed the cases without prejudice. On October 11, 2006,
two area residents filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Exelon,
Generation and ComEd. The allegations in the complaint are
substantially similar to the lawsuits described above, and the
case has been transferred to the judge overseeing the other
Federal cases. This is the only remaining lawsuit brought by
local residents. Exelon, Generation and ComEd have tendered the
defense for this lawsuit to their insurance carrier, ANI, and
ANI has agreed to defend the suit subject to a reservation of
rights. Exelon, Generation and ComEd continue to believe that
this lawsuit is without merit and will continue to vigorously
oppose it.
On March 16, 2006, the Attorney General of the state of
Illinois and the States Attorney for Will County, Illinois
filed a civil enforcement action against Exelon, Generation and
ComEd in the Circuit Court of Will County relating to the
releases of tritium discussed above and alleging that, beginning
on or before 1996, and with additional events in 1998, 2000 and
2005, there have been tritium and other non-radioactive wastes
discharged from Braidwood in violation of Braidwoods NPDES
permit, the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and
regulations of the Illinois Pollution Control Board. The lawsuit
seeks injunctive relief relating to the discontinuation of the
liquid tritium discharge line until further court order, soil
and groundwater testing, prevention of future releases and
off-site migration and to provide potable drinking water to area
residents. The action also seeks the maximum civil penalties
allowed by the statute and regulations, $10,000 or $50,000 for
each violation (depending on the specific violation), and
$10,000 for each day during which a violation continues. On
May 24, 2006, the Circuit Court of Will County, Illinois
entered an order resulting in Generation commencing remediation
efforts in June 2006 for tritium in groundwater off of plant
property. Among other things, the May 24, 2006 order
requires Generation to conduct certain studies and implement
measures to ensure that tritium does not leave plant property at
levels in excess of the United States EPA safe drinking water
standard. Any civil penalty will not be determined until the
consent decree is finalized. Furthermore, the Circuit Court of
Will County may exercise its discretion in determining the final
penalty, if any, taking into account a number of factors,
including corrective actions taken by Generation and other
mitigating circumstances.
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Generation
had reserves of $2 million and $3 million,
respectively, related to the matters described above, which
Generation deems adequate to cover the costs of remediation and
potential related corrective measures.
As a result of intensified monitoring and inspection efforts in
2006, Generation detected small underground tritium leaks at the
Dresden Nuclear Generating Station (Dresden) and at the Byron
Nuclear Generating Station (Byron). Neither of these discharges
occurred outside the property lines of the plant, nor does
Generation believe either of these matters poses health or
safety threats to employees or to the public. Generation
identified the source of the leaks and implemented repairs. On
March 31, 2006 and April 12, 2006, the Illinois EPA
issued a violation notice to Generation in connection with the
Dresden and Byron leaks, respectively, alleging various
violations, including those related to (1) Illinois
groundwater standards, (2) non-permitted discharges, and
(3) each stations NPDES permit. Generation has
analyzed the remediation options related to these matters and
submitted its response and proposed remediation plan to the
Illinois EPA. On July 10, 2006, the Illinois EPA rejected
the remediation plan for Dresden and on July 12, 2006, the
Illinois EPA sent a Notice of Intention to Pursue Legal Action.
On July 17, 2006, the Illinois EPA rejected the remediation
plan for Byron and has referred the matter to the Illinois
Attorney General for consideration of formal enforcement action
and the imposition of penalties.
Generation is actively discussing the violation notices and
Attorney General civil enforcement matters for Braidwood,
Dresden and Byron, discussed above, with the Illinois EPA and
the Attorneys General for Illinois and the Counties in which the
plants are located. While Generation is unable to determine the
amount of the civil

penalties that will be included in a final consent decree, it is
probable that they will exceed $100,000 in the aggregate for all
three stations but will not be material to Exelons and
Generations financial positions, results of operations and
cash flows. Generation expects these matters to be resolved
during 2007.
Exelon, Generation or ComEd cannot determine the outcome of the
above-described matters but believe their ultimate resolution
should not, after consideration of reserves established, have a
significant impact on Exelons, Generations or
ComEds financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Cotter
Corporation
The EPA has advised Cotter Corporation (Cotter), a former ComEd
subsidiary, that it is potentially liable in connection with
radiological contamination at a site known as the West Lake
Landfill in Missouri. On February 18, 2000, ComEd sold
Cotter to an unaffiliated third party. As part of the sale,
ComEd agreed to indemnify Cotter for any liability incurred by
Cotter as a result of any liability arising in connection with
the West Lake Landfill. In connection with Exelons 2001
corporate restructuring, this responsibility to indemnify Cotter
was transferred to Generation. Cotter is alleged to have
disposed of approximately 39,000 tons of soils mixed with 8,700
tons of leached barium sulfate at the site. Cotter, along with
three other companies identified by the EPA as PRPs, has
submitted a draft feasibility study addressing options for
remediation of the site. The PRPs are also engaged in
discussions with the State of Missouri and the EPA. The
estimated costs of the anticipated remediation strategy for the
site range up to $24 million. Once a remedy is selected, it
is expected that the PRPs will agree on an allocation of
responsibility for the costs. Generation has accrued what it
believes to be an adequate amount to cover its anticipated share
of the liability.
Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Reductions
Exelon announced on May 6, 2005 that it has established a
voluntary goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
8% from 2001 levels by the end of 2008. The 8% reduction goal
represents a decrease of an estimated 1.3 million metric
tons of GHG emissions. Exelon will incorporate recognition of
GHG emissions and their potential cost into its business
analyses as a means to promote internal investment in activities
that result in the reduction or avoidance of GHG emissions.
Exelon made this pledge under the United States EPAs
Climate Leaders program, a voluntary industry-government
partnership addressing climate change. Exelon believes that its
planned GHG management efforts, including increased use of
renewable energy, its current energy and process efficiency
initiatives and its efforts in the areas of carbon
sequestration, will allow it to achieve this goal. The
anticipated cost of achieving the voluntary GHG emissions
reduction goal will not have a material effect on Exelons
future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a
decision in the case of Massachusetts v.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency holding that carbon
dioxide and other GHG emissions are pollutants subject to
regulation under the new motor vehicle provisions of the Clean
Air Act. The case was remanded to the EPA for further rulemaking
to determine whether GHG emissions may reasonably be anticipated
to endanger public health or welfare, or in the alternative
provide a reasonable explanation why GHG emissions should not be
regulated. Possible outcomes from this decision include
regulation of GHG emissions from manufacturing plants, including
electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities,
under a new EPA rule and Federal or state legislation. Exelon
continues to support the enactment, through federal legislation,
of a
cap-and-trade
system for GHG emissions that is mandatory, economy-wide and
designed in a way to limit potential harm to the economy and the
competitiveness of the manufacturing base in the U.S. Due
to the uncertainty as to any of these potential outcomes, Exelon
cannot estimate the effect of the decision on its operations and
its future results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.

Litigation
and Regulatory Matters
Exelon,
Generation and PECO
PJM Billing Dispute. In December 2004, Exelon
filed a complaint with FERC against PJM and PPL Electric (PPL)
alleging that PJM had overcharged Exelon from April 1998 through
May 2003 as a result of a billing error. Specifically, the
complaint alleged that PJM mistakenly identified PPLs
Elroy substation transformer as belonging to Exelon and that, as
a consequence, during times of congestion, Exelons bills
for transmission congestion from PJM erroneously reflected
energy that PPL took from the Elroy substation and used to serve
PPL load.
Beginning in September of 2005 and throughout 2006, Exelon and
PPL filed multiple settlement proposals with FERC, with each new
proposal superceding the prior, in attempts to resolve this
matter. On March 20, 2007, FERC issued an order accepting
the settlement in which PPL agreed to directly pay Exelon
approximately $43 million in a lump-sum payment (comprised
of $38 million of erroneous charges, plus interest of
$5 million). At that time, Exelon established a receivable
due from PPL and recognized the corresponding gain in earnings
during the first quarter of 2007. Approximately $32 million
and $11 million of the settlement amount were to be
received by Generation and PECO, respectively, and recorded as a
reduction to purchased power expense and interest income. In
April 2007, this receivable amount was paid in full, including
interest.
Real Estate Tax Appeals. Generation and PECO
each have been challenging real estate taxes assessed on certain
nuclear plants. PECO has been involved in litigation in which it
has contested taxes assessed in 1997 under the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Realty Tax Act of March 4, 1971, as amended
(PURTA), and has appealed local real estate assessments for 1998
and 1999 on the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (York County,
PA) (Peach Bottom). On March 27, 2007, PECO prevailed in a
unanimous decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in its
contesting of taxes assessed in 1997 under PURTA. The
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth) had contended that
PECO owed more in real estate taxes in 1997 than had previously
been remitted by PECO, while PECO contended that it owed less
than what it had previously remitted. PECO received a favorable
ruling in this case, which resulted in a credit to PECO of
approximately $38 million of real estate taxes previously
remitted. That credit was received in May 2007. PECO also
received a credit for approximately $17 million in interest
from the Commonwealth in July 2007. PECO had previously reserved
approximately $17 million for the difference between the
Commonwealths assessment and the amount previously
remitted by PECO. This reserve was reversed as a result of the
favorable ruling PECO received. PECO is in the process of
determining the ultimate use and ratemaking treatment of these
amounts and has recorded the total of these amounts of
$72 million as a regulatory liability. The balance of this
regulatory liability as of June 30, 2007 is
$71 million, which also reflects $1 million in legal
costs already incurred in connection with the tax recovery. See
Note 14 Supplemental Financial Information for
a listing of PECOs regulatory assets and liabilities.
As of June 30, 2007, Generation was involved in real estate
tax appeals for the 2005 and 2006 tax years concerning the value
of its Byron plant for real estate tax purposes. Also,
Generation was involved in real estate tax appeals and related
litigation for the 2006 tax year concerning the value for real
estate tax purposes of its Braidwood, Clinton and Dresden
plants. The ultimate outcome of these matters remains uncertain
and could result in unfavorable or favorable impacts to the
consolidated financial statements of Exelon, Generation and
PECO. Generation and PECO believe their reserve balances for
exposures associated with real estate taxes as of June 30,
2007 reflect their best estimates of the probable outcome of
these appeals and related proceedings in accordance with
SFAS No. 5.

Exelon
and Generation
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. In the second
quarter of 2005, Generation engaged independent actuaries to
determine if, based on historical claims data and other
available information, a reasonable estimate of future losses
could be calculated associated with asbestos-related personal
injury actions in certain facilities that are currently owned by
Generation or were previously owned by ComEd and PECO. Based on
the actuaries analyses, managements review of
current and expected losses, and the view of counsel regarding
the assumptions used in estimating the future losses, Generation
recorded an undiscounted $43 million pre-tax charge for its
estimated portion of all estimated future asbestos-related
personal injury claims estimated to be presented through 2030.
This amount did not include estimated legal costs associated
with handling these matters, which could be material.
Generations management determined that it was not
reasonable to estimate future asbestos-related personal injury
claims past 2030 based on only three years of historical claims
data and the significant amount of judgment required to estimate
this liability. The $43 million pre-tax charge was recorded
as part of operating and maintenance expense in
Generations Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income in 2005 and reduced net income by
$27 million after tax.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Generation had
reserved approximately $51 and $48 million, respectively,
in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of
June 30, 2007, approximately $12 million of this
amount relates to 144 open claims presented to Generation, while
the remaining $39 million of the reserve is for estimated
future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to
arise through 2030 based on actuarial assumptions and analysis.
Generation obtains annual actuarial study updates of the
estimate of future losses. On a quarterly basis, Generation
monitors actual experience against the number of forecasted
claims to be received and expected claim payments. During 2006
and the first and second quarters of 2007, Generation performed
periodic updates to this reserve, which did not result in a
material adjustment.
Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund Claim. In December 2004, the
two Salem nuclear generation units were taken offline due to an
oil spill from a tanker in the Delaware River near the
facilities. The units, which draw water from the river for
cooling purposes, were taken offline for approximately two weeks
to avoid intake of the spilled oil and for an additional two
weeks relating to start up issues arising from the oil spill
shutdown. The total shutdown period resulted in lost sales from
the plant. Generation and PSEG subsequently filed a joint claim
for losses and damages with the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund. In January 2007, Generation and PSEG submitted
a revised damages calculation to the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund identifying approximately $46 million in
total damages and losses, of which approximately
$20 million would be paid to Exelon. As this matter
represents a contingent gain, Generation has not recorded any
income. Generation expects this matter to be resolved in 2007.
Supply Agreement Non-performance
Claims. Generation enters into long-term supply
agreements to procure uranium concentrates. In 2007, Generation
initiated claims asserting non-performance by certain
counterparties. As a result of this non-performance, Generation
will be required to procure uranium concentrates at higher
prices than originally anticipated. Generation has filed suit
against two counterparties asserting breach of uranium supply
agreement against one counterparty and breach of performance
guarantee and fraudulent inducement against the other
counterparty. As these matters represent contingent gains,
Generation has not recorded any income. The cases are scheduled
for trial in 2008.
Exelon
Pension Claim. On July 11, 2006, a former
employee of ComEd filed a purported class action lawsuit against
the Exelon Corporation Cash Balance Pension Plan (Plan) in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The complaint alleges that the Plan, which covers certain
management employees of Exelons subsidiaries, calculates
lump sum distributions in a manner that does not comply with the
Employee Retirement Income Security

Act (ERISA). The plaintiff seeks compensatory relief from the
Plan on behalf of participants who received lump sum
distributions since 2001 and injunctive relief with respect to
future lump sum distributions. It remains to be determined
whether this case will proceed as a class action and how many
Plan participants may be part of the proposed class, if a class
is certified.
Savings Plan Claim. On September 11,
2006, five individuals claiming to be participants in the Exelon
Corporation Employee Savings Plan, Plan #003 (Savings
Plan), filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The
complaint names as defendants Exelon, its Director of Employee
Benefit Plans and Programs, the Employee Savings Plan Investment
Committee, the Compensation and the Risk Oversight Committees of
Exelons Board of Directors and members of those
committees. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached
fiduciary duties under ERISA by, among other things, permitting
fees and expenses to be incurred by the Savings Plan that
allegedly were unreasonable and for purposes other than to
benefit the Savings Plan and participants, and failing to
disclose purported revenue sharing arrangements
among the Savings Plans service providers. The plaintiffs
seek declaratory, equitable and monetary relief, including
alleged investment losses. On February 21, 2007 the
district court granted the defendants motion to strike the
plaintiffs claim for investment losses. On June 27,
2007, the district court granted the plaintiffs motion for
class certification. On June 28, 2007, the district court
granted the defendants motion to stay proceedings in this
action pending the outcome of the forthcoming appeal to the
U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in another case not
involving Exelon. In that case, an appeal is expected to be
taken from the June 20, 2007 decision of the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin,
which dismissed with prejudice substantially similar claims.
Exelon,
Generation, ComEd and PECO
General. The Registrants are involved in
various other litigation matters that are being defended and
handled in the ordinary course of business. The Registrants
maintain accruals for such costs that are probable of being
incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. The ultimate
outcomes of such matters, as well as the matters discussed
above, are uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on
the Registrants financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.
Fund Transfer
Restrictions
The Federal Power Act declares it to be unlawful for any officer
or director of any public utility to participate in the
making or paying of any dividends of such public utility from
any funds properly included in capital account. What
constitutes funds properly included in capital
account is undefined in the Federal Power Act or the
related regulations; however, FERC has consistently interpreted
the provision to allow dividends to be paid as long as
(1) the source of the dividends is clearly disclosed,
(2) the dividend is not excessive and (3) there is no
self-dealing on the part of corporate officials. While these
restrictions may limit the absolute amount of dividends that a
particular subsidiary may pay, Exelon does not believe these
limitations are materially limiting because, under these
limitations, the subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends
sufficient to meet Exelons actual cash needs. See
Note 18 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for additional information regarding fund transfer restrictions.
Income
Taxes
ComEd and PECO have entered into several agreements with a tax
consultant related to the filing of refund claims with the IRS.
The fees for these agreements are contingent upon a successful
outcome of the claims and are based upon a percentage of the
refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. The ultimate net cash
impacts to ComEd and

PECO related to these agreements and the associated refund
claims will either be positive or neutral depending upon the
outcome of the refund claim with the IRS. These potential tax
benefits and associated fees could be material to the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of ComEd and
PECO. If a settlement is reached, a portion of ComEds tax
benefits, including any associated interest for periods prior to
the PECO/Unicom merger, would be recorded as a reduction of
goodwill under the provisions of
EITF 93-7.
Exelon cannot predict the timing of the final resolution of
these refund claims or the potential payment of any contingent
fees.

(a)
|
|
Effective January 1, 2007,
Generation has a supplier forward agreement with ComEd to
provide up to 35% of ComEds electricity supply
requirements. Prior to 2007, Generation had a PPA with ComEd,
which expired December 31, 2006. As a result of the
expiration of the PPA with ComEd and the results of the Illinois
procurement auctions, Generation is selling more power through
bilateral agreements. See Note 13 Commitments
and Contingencies for further detail.
|
|
(b)
|
|
Generation has a PPA with PECO, as
amended, to provide the full energy requirements of PECO through
2010.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Generation receives a variety of
corporate support services from BSC, including legal, human
resources, financial, information technology and supply
management services. All services are provided at cost,
including applicable overhead. A portion of such services is
capitalized. Some third-party reimbursements due to Generation
are recovered through BSC.
|
|
(d)
|
|
Generation requires electricity for
its own use at its generating stations. Generation purchases
electricity and distribution and transmission services from
PECO. Starting in 2007, Generation purchases only distribution
and transmission services from ComEd for the delivery of
electricity to its generating stations. In 2006, Generation
purchased both electricity and distribution and transmission
services from ComEd. Generations PPA with ComEd expired
December 31, 2006. See Note 13 Commitments
and Contingencies for further detail regarding the PPAs.
|
|
(e)
|
|
Generation participates in
Exelons intercompany money pool. Generation earns interest
on its contributions to the money pool, and pays interest on its
borrowings from the money pool at a market rate of interest.
|
|
(f)
|
|
In order to facilitate payment
processing, Exelon processes certain invoice payments on behalf
of Generation. In addition, Generation has a receivable from
Exelon for the allocation of certain tax benefits related to a
capital loss carryback.
|
|
(g)
|
|
Generation has long-term payables
to ComEd and PECO as a result of the nuclear decommissioning
contractual construct whereby, to the extent the assets
associated with decommissioning are greater than the applicable
ARO, such amounts are due back to ComEd and PECO, as applicable,
for payment to the customers. See Note 11 Asset
Retirement Obligations for additional information.

EXELON
CORPORATION
Executive
Overview
Financial Results. Exelons net income
was $702 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007 as compared to $644 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and diluted earnings per average common share
were $1.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to $0.95 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Exelons net income was $1,393 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
$1,044 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006
and diluted earnings per average common share were $2.05 for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $1.55 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase for both the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007 was primarily due to the following:
|
|
|
|
|
higher average margins on Generations wholesale market
sales primarily due to the end of the below-market power
purchase agreement (PPA) with ComEd;
|
|
|
|
favorable weather conditions in the ComEd and PECO service
territories;
|
|
|
|
increased delivery volume, excluding the effects of weather, at
ComEd and PECO;
|
|
|
|
increased transmission revenues at ComEd as a result of the 2007
transmission rate case; and
|
|
|
|
increased rates for delivery services at ComEd.
|
In addition to the items listed above, the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007 increased due to the following:
|
|
|
|
|
a favorable PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) billing settlement
with PPL Electric (PPL);
|
|
|
|
increased nuclear output at Generation reflecting fewer outage
days; and
|
|
|
|
decreased nuclear refueling outage costs.
|
92
The factors driving the overall increase in net income for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 were
partially offset by the following:
|
|
|
|
|
unrealized mark-to-market losses on contracts not yet settled;
|
|
|
|
lower margins (operating revenues less purchased power expense)
at ComEd due to the end of the regulatory transition period and
associated transition revenues;
|
|
|
|
the impact of ComEds 2007 rate relief program and other
post rate freeze period transition expenses;
|
|
|
|
higher operating and maintenance expenses, primarily associated
with an update of the nuclear decommissioning asset retirement
obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2006, labor-related
inflation, and increased allowance for uncollectible accounts
expense;
|
|
|
|
increased depreciation and amortization expense, primarily
related to competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization at
PECO; and
|
|
|
|
the impact of favorable tax settlements at PECO in 2006.
|
Financing Activities. During the six months
ended June 30, 2007, Exelon met its capital resource
requirements primarily with internally generated cash as well as
funds from external sources, including the capital markets, and
through bank borrowings. During March 2007, ComEd and PECO
issued $300 million and $175 million, respectively, of
First Mortgage Bonds. In addition, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, ComEd borrowed $475 million under its
credit facilities and repaid all outstanding commercial paper.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, certain rating
agencies downgraded ComEd and PECOs debt ratings.
PECOs downgrade reflects a change in a rating
agencys short-term and long-term rating linkage practices.
Regulatory and Environmental Developments. The
following significant regulatory and environmental developments
occurred during 2007. See Notes 5 and 13 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.
|
|
|
|
|
On April 23, 2007, ComEd announced the implementation of a
new $64 million rate relief package to be provided to ComEd
customers most affected by recent electricity rate increases.
The rate relief package is expected to provide benefits to
ComEds customers of $44 million in 2007 and
$10 million per year during 2008 and 2009. Approximately
$18 million of credits were issued to customers through
June 30, 2007.
|
On July 24, 2007, ComEd, Generation, and other utilities and
generators in Illinois reached an oral agreement (the
Settlement) with various representatives from the government of
the State of Illinois concluding discussions of measures to
address concerns about higher electric bills in Illinois without
rate freeze, generation tax or other legislation that would be
harmful to consumers of electricity, electric utilities,
generators of electricity and the State of Illinois. The
Settlement was recorded in a confirming letter (the Letter) to
the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, the
President of the Illinois Senate, the minority leaders of the
Illinois House and Senate, and the Attorney General of the State
of Illinois (the Attorney General) from ComEd, Generation, and
other utilities and generators in Illinois. The Settlement will
be effective only upon enactment of proposed legislation
(Proposed Legislation) attached as an exhibit to the Letter.
Under the Settlement and the Proposed Legislation, Illinois
electric utilities, their affiliates, and generators of
electricity in Illinois would be expected to make voluntary
contributions of approximately $1 billion over a period of
four years to programs that would provide rate relief to
Illinois electricity customers and funding for the new Illinois
Power Agency. Generation and ComEd have committed to
contributing an aggregate of over $800 million to rate
relief programs and funding for the new Illinois Power Agency.
ComEd would continue executing upon its $64 million rate
relief package announced April 23, 2007. Generation would
contribute an aggregate of up to $747 million, of which
$435 million would be available to reimburse ComEd for rate
relief programs for ComEd customers, and $307.5 million
would be available for rate relief programs for customers of
other Illinois utilities and $4.5 million would be
available for funding for the Illinois Power Agency. ComEd,
Generation, and the Illinois Attorney General have also entered
into a release and settlement agreement releasing and dismissing
with prejudice all litigation, claims and
93
regulatory proceedings and appeals related to the procurement of
power, including ICC and FERC proceedings. In the event that
legislation is passed prior to August 1, 2011 that would
freeze or reduce electric rates or impose a generation tax on
any party to the Settlement, the contributors to the rate relief
funds would be allowed to terminate their funding commitments
and would be allowed to recover any undisbursed funds set aside
for rate relief.
The Proposed Legislation would also establish a new state
agency, known as the Illinois Power Agency, which would be
authorized to design annual five-year electricity supply
portfolio plans for electric utilities and administer a
competitive procurement process for utilities to procure the
electricity supply resources identified in the supply portfolio
plans. Additionally, ComEd and Generation have entered into a
five-year financial swap arrangement whereby ComEd will pay
fixed prices and Generation will pay a market price for a
portion of ComEds load. The financial swap arrangement
will become effective upon the effective date of the Proposed
Legislation. The Proposed Legislation would deem this
arrangement prudent and ComEd would receive full recovery of its
costs in its rates.
Other provisions in the Proposed Legislation would extend the
ability of utilities to engage in divestiture and other
restructuring transactions without prior ICC approval and would
ensure that until at least June 30, 2022, the state would
not prohibit an electric utility from maintaining its membership
in a FERC-approved regional transmission organization chosen by
the utility. Furthermore, the procurement plans implemented by
electric utilities would require inclusion of cost-effective
renewable energy resources in amounts that equal or exceed 2% of
the total electricity that each electric utility supplies to its
customers by June 1, 2008, increasing to 10% by
June 1, 2015, with a goal of 25% by June 1, 2025.
Utilities would be allowed to pass through any costs or savings
from the procurement of these renewable resources.

Illinois Procurement Case and Related Proceedings In
January 2007, ComEd began procuring electricity under supplier
forward contracts with various suppliers, including Generation.
The supplier forward contracts resulted from a
reverse-auction competitive bidding process, which
was approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) on
January 24, 2006 and permits recovery by ComEd of its
electricity procurement costs from retail customers with no
markup. The first auction took place in September 2006. The ICC
order approving the auction process is under appeal by various
parties; the Illinois Attorney General has agreed to dismiss its
appeal in connection with the Settlement. Consistent with the
process previously approved by the ICC, the ICC has opened a
proceeding to consider improvements to the competitive
procurement process. It is anticipated that a final order will
be entered in that proceeding with sufficient time to
incorporate changes into the 2008 procurement process.

|
|
|
Residential Rate Stabilization Program In January
2007, ComEd launched the rate stabilization program approved by
the ICC that allows residential customers the choice to limit
the impact of any rate increases over the next three years. The
program has an opt-in feature that gives customers
the choice to participate, which began with the April 2007
billing period. Under the program, residential customers
choosing to participate will have their average annual rate
increases capped at 10% in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Costs that
exceed the cap are deferred and charged to customers over the
following three years, 2010 to 2012. A carrying charge at a rate
of 3.25% per year is assessed to participants to partially cover
ComEds cost of financing the program. As of June 30,
2007, approximately 36,000 or 1% of ComEds residential
customers had enrolled in the program, and ComEd had deferred
less than $1 million under this program.
|
|
|
|
Illinois Rate Design Investigation On March 2,
2007, the ICC voted to initiate investigations into ComEds
and the Ameren Corporation (Ameren) utilities rate
designs, particularly for residential and residential
space-heating customers. The ICC has a schedule that
contemplates a final order by September 2007, which would allow
implementation of changes, if any, prior to the next winter
heating season.
|
|
|
|
Transmission Rate Case On March 1, 2007, ComEd
filed a request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), seeking approval to increase the rate ComEd receives for
transmission services. ComEd also requested incentive rate
treatment for certain transmission projects. On June 5,
2007, FERC issued an order that conditionally approves
ComEds proposal to implement a formula-based transmission
rate effective as of May 1, 2007, but subject to refund,
hearing procedures and conditions. The FERC order provides that
further hearing and settlement procedures be conducted to
determine the reasonableness of
|
94
|
|
|
|
|
certain elements of ComEds formula-based rate. The order
denied ComEds request for incentive rate treatment on
investment in two transmission projects and the inclusion of
construction work in progress in rate base. The order directed
ComEd to file a revised formula reflecting these findings within
30 days. The new rate will increase an average residential
customer bill by about 1% and will result in an annual increase
in the transmission revenue requirement of $116 million,
although the rate increase is subject to further adjustment and
refund depending on the outcome of the settlement and hearing
procedures. On July 5, 2007, ComEd filed a request for
rehearing, asking FERC to reconsider the denial of incentive
rate treatment on the two new transmission projects and the
denial of construction work in progress in rate base and certain
other elements of the June 5, 2007 order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PECO AEPS Filing On March 19, 2007, PECO filed
a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
(PAPUC) for approval to acquire and bank up to 450,000 non-solar
Tier I Alternative Energy Credits (equivalent to up to
240 MW of electricity generated by wind) annually for a
five-year term in order to prepare for 2011, the first year of
PECOs required compliance under the Alternative Energy
Portfolio Standards Act of 2004 (AEPS Act) following the
completion of its transition period. On July 16, 2007, the
Pennsylvania legislature modified the previously proposed AEPS
Act in House Bill (HB) 1203. The modification did not affect
PECOs request for acquiring and banking Alternative Energy
Credits or the proposed deferral of related costs.
|
|
|
|
On May 19, 2006, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed
Rule Making (NOPR) on Market-Based Rates for Wholesale
Sales of Electric Energy, Capacity and Ancillary Services by
Public Utilities. The NOPR proposes a set of regulations that
would modify the tests that Generation and other market
participants must satisfy to be entitled to market-based rates.
On June 21, 2007, FERC issued a Final Rule. Generation is
currently evaluating the impact of the Final Rule.
|
Outlook
for 2007 and Beyond.
Exelons future financial results will be affected by a
number of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Legislation proposed in the State of Illinois in July 2007 in
connection with the Settlement has significantly reduced the
probability of rate freeze legislation and other legislative
actions proposed in previous periods. The Proposed Legislation
contemplated by the Settlement, if enacted, should provide ComEd
with greater stability and certainty that it will be able to
procure electricity and pass through the costs of that
electricity to its customers. The Proposed Legislation would
establish a new competitive procurement model developed by the
new Illinois Power Agency, by which ComEd would procure its
energy supply. ComEd would stabilize a portion of its costs of
procurement pursuant to a five-year financial swap arrangement
with Generation. ComEd would be allowed to fully recover the
costs of procuring energy, including the impacts of the swap
agreement, in its rates. In the event that legislation is passed
in the Illinois General Assembly prior to August 1, 2011
that freezes or reduces electric rates or imposes a generation
tax, ComEd and Generation, as contributors to certain rate
relief programs, would be allowed to terminate their funding
commitments to such programs and recover any undisbursed funds
set aside for rate relief.

PECO was subject to electric rate caps on its transmission and
distribution rates through December 31, 2006 and is subject
to caps on its generation rates through December 31, 2010.
PECOs transmission and distribution rates will continue in
effect until PECO files a rate case or there is some other
specific regulatory action to adjust the rates. There are no
current proceedings to do so. PECO is or will be involved in
proceedings involving annual changes in its electric and gas
universal service fund cost charges, its electric CTC/intangible
transition charge reconciliation mechanism, and its purchased
gas cost rate, all of which relate to PECOs recovery of
the applicable costs.
|
|
|
|
Effective for customer bills for electric generation service
delivered after customers January 2007 meter readings, and
in accordance with its 1998 restructuring settlement with the
PAPUC, PECO implemented a scheduled electric generation rate
increase that will result in approximately $190 million of
additional operating revenues in 2007 as compared to 2006 and a
corresponding increase in purchased power, in accordance with
PECOs PPA with Generation, with no resulting impact on
pre-tax operating income. The impact of this rate increase on
Exelon and Generation will be an increase in operating revenues
and pre-tax operating income of approximately $190 million.
|
|
|
|
Generation is exposed to commodity price risk associated with
the unhedged portion of its electricity portfolio. Generation
enters into derivative contracts, including forwards, futures,
swaps, and options, with approved counterparties to hedge this
anticipated exposure. Generation has hedges in place that
significantly mitigate this risk for 2007 and 2008. However,
Generation is exposed to relatively greater commodity price risk
in the subsequent years for which a larger portion of its
electricity portfolio may be unhedged. Generation has been and
will continue to be proactive in using hedging strategies to
mitigate this risk in subsequent years as well.
|
|
|
|
Generation procures coal through annual, short-term and
spot-market purchases and natural gas through annual, monthly
and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained
through long-term contracts for uranium concentrates, and long
term contracts for conversion services, enrichment services and
fuel fabrication services. The supply markets for coal, natural
gas, uranium concentrates and certain nuclear fuel services are
subject to price fluctuations and availability restrictions.
Supply market conditions may make Generations procurement
contracts subject to credit risk related to the potential
non-performance of counterparties to deliver the contracted
commodity or service at the contracted prices. Non-performance
by these counterparties could have a material impact on
Exelons and Generations results of operations, cash
flows and financial position. Generation uses long-term
contracts and financial instruments such as over-the-counter and
exchange-traded instruments to mitigate price risk associated
with these commodity price exposures.
|
|
|
|
The PPA between Generation and PECO expires at the end of 2010.
Current market prices for electricity have increased
significantly over the past few years due to the rise in natural
gas and other fuel prices. As a result, PECO customers
generation rates are below current wholesale energy market
prices and Generations margins on sales in excess of
PECOs requirements have improved historically.
Generations ability to maintain those margins following
the expiration of the PPA will partially depend on future
wholesale market prices.

Select northeast and Mid-Atlantic States have developed a model
rule, via the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, to regulate
carbon emissions from fossil-fired generation in participating
states starting in 2009. Federal
and/or state
legislation to regulate carbon emissions could occur in the
future. If such state regulation
and/or
legislation become effective, Exelon may incur costs in further
limiting the emissions from certain of its fossil-fuel fired
facilities or in procuring emission allowance credits issued by
various governing bodies. However, Exelon may benefit from
stricter emission standards due to its significant nuclear
capacity, which is not anticipated to be affected by the
proposed emission standards.
|
|
|
|
Exelon anticipates that it will be subject to the ongoing
pressures of rising operating expenses due to increases in
costs, such as medical benefits and rising payroll costs due to
inflation. Also, Exelon will continue to incur significant
capital costs associated with its commitment to produce and
deliver energy reliably to its customers. Increasing capital
costs may include the price of uranium, which fuels the nuclear
facilities, and continued capital investment in Exelons
aging distribution infrastructure and generating
|
96
|
|
|
|
|
facilities. Exelon is determined to operate its businesses
responsibly and to appropriately manage its operating and
capital costs while serving its customers and producing value
for its shareholders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exelon pursues growth opportunities that are consistent with its
disciplined approach to investing to maximize earnings and cash
flows. On September 29, 2006, Generation notified the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that Generation will begin
the application process for a combined construction and
operating license that would allow for the possible construction
of a new nuclear plant at an as-yet unnamed location in Texas.
The filing of the letter with the NRC launches a process that
preserves for Exelon the option to develop a new nuclear plant
in Texas without immediately committing to the full project. The
decision to build a new nuclear plant has not been made at this
time; however on June 28, 2007, Generation announced that
it has selected primary and secondary sites, both in southeast
Texas, for a federal license application that, if obtained,
would allow construction and operation of a new nuclear plant
should Generation decide to build one. Among the various
conditions that must be resolved before any formal decision to
build is made are a permanent solution to spent nuclear fuel
disposal, broad public acceptance of a new nuclear plant and
assurances that a new plant using new technology can be
financially successful. Generation expects to submit the
application to the NRC for the combined construction and
operating license in 2008.

During 2006, FERC issued its order approving PJMs
settlement proposal related to its Reliability Pricing Model
(RPM) to provide for a forward capacity auction using a demand
curve and locational deliverability zones for capacity phased in
over a several year period beginning on June 1, 2006.
FERCs adoption of the settlement proposal has had a
favorable impact for owners of generation facilities,
particularly for such facilities located in constrained zones.
The first auction took place in April 2007 and resulted in
Generation auctioning capacity at prices ranging from $40.80/MW
to $197.67/MW per day for the regions in which Generation has
capacity for the period from June 1, 2007 through
May 31, 2008. The second auction took place in July 2007
and resulted in Generation auctioning capacity at prices ranging
from $111.92/MW to $148.80/MW per day for the regions in which
Generation has capacity for the period from June 1, 2008
through May 31, 2009. Subsequent auctions will be conducted
in October 2007 and January 2008 to auction capacity for periods
through May 2011.

On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a
decision in the case of Massachusetts v.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) holding that
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are
pollutants subject to regulation under the new motor vehicle
provisions of the Clean Air Act. The case was remanded to the
EPA for further rulemaking to determine whether GHG emissions
may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare, or in the alternative provide a reasonable explanation
why GHG emissions should not be regulated. Possible outcomes
from this decision include regulation of GHG emissions from
manufacturing plants, including electric generation,
transmission and distribution facilities, under a new EPA rule,
and Federal or state legislation.

On January 25, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit issued its opinion in a challenge to the final
Phase II rule implementing Section 316(b) of the Clean
Water Act. By its action, the court invalidated compliance
measures that the utility industry supported because they were
cost-effective and provided existing plants with needed
flexibility in selecting the compliance option appropriate to
its location and operations. The courts decision has
created significant uncertainty about the specific nature, scope
and timing of the final compliance requirements. Several
industry parties to the litigation sought review by the entire
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which was
denied on July 5, 2007. Parties to the litigation have
until October 3, 2007 to file a petition seeking review by
the U.S. Supreme Court. On July 9, 2007, the EPA
formally suspended the Phase II rule due to the uncertainty
about the specific compliance requirements created by the
courts remand of significant provisions of the rule. Until
the EPA finalizes the rule on remand (which could take up to
several years), the state permitting agencies will continue the
current practice of applying their best professional judgment to
address impingement and entrainment requirements at plant
cooling water intake structures. Due to this uncertainty,
Generation cannot estimate the effect that compliance with the
Phase II rule requirements will have on the operation of
its generating facilities and its future results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows. If the final rule, or
interim state requirements under best professional judgment,
have performance standards that require the reduction of cooling
water

|
intake flow at the plants consistent with closed loop cooling
systems, then the impact on the operation of the facilities and
Exelons and Generations future results of
operations, financial position and cash flows could be material.

On May 10, 2007, after completion of a two year rule making
process, the PAPUC adopted final Default Supplier (Provider of
Last Resort) regulations, an accompanying policy statement, and
a price mitigation policy statement. The regulations allow for
competitive procurement by distribution companies through
auctions or Requests for Proposals, with full cost recovery and
no retrospective prudence review. According to the policy
statement, the PAPUC expects companies to procure power, on a
customer-class basis, using contracts of varying expiration
dates, and prefers contracts with a duration of one year or
less, except for contracts for compliance with the AEPS Act. The
PAPUC also expects companies to reconcile costs and adjust rates
at least quarterly for most customers, but hourly or monthly for
larger energy users. The PAPUC believes this combination will
stimulate competition, send market-price signals and avoid price
spikes following long periods of fixed, capped rates. The PAPUC
also ordered the elimination of (1) declining-block rates, while
allowing rates to be phased out if the resulting rate increase
is greater than 25%; and (2) demand charges for large customers,
while entertaining requests to retain those charges on a
case-by-case basis. Default service providers such as PECO will
be required to make their implementation filings a minimum of 12
months prior to the end of the generation rate cap period, which
for PECO, expires December 31, 2010. The final Default Service
Regulations adopted by the PAPUC will become effective once
approved by Pennsylvanias Independent Regulatory Review
Commission (such approval being received on July 19, 2007), and
after subsequent review by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney
General, the Pennsylvania Governors Budget Office and the
standing committees of both houses of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly. Once that review and approval process is completed,
the regulations would become final once published in the
Pennsylvania Bulletin.

In Pennsylvania and other states where transition periods have
ended or rate caps have expired, there is growing pressure from
state regulators and politicians to mitigate the potential
impact of generation price increases on retail customers. The
experiences in other states following the end of a regulatory
transition period has led to a heightened state of political
concern that significant generation price increases also will
occur after the expiration of rate caps in Pennsylvania. While
PECOs regulatory transition period does not end until
December 31, 2010, these transition periods have ended for
six Pennsylvania electric distribution companies and, in some
instances, generations price increases have ensued. Partly in
response to the rate increases and as part of his environmental
agenda, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell announced an Energy
Independence Strategy earlier this year that included a package
of proposed legislation. Provisions of that legislation would,
among other things, require default suppliers such as PECO to
procure electricity for their default-service customers, after
the end of their electric restructuring period (post-2010 for
PECO), through a least-cost portfolio approach, with preferences
for conservation and renewable power. The legislation also would
require installation of metering technology to provide
time-of-use rates to retail customers, provide for a phase-in of
increased generation rates after expiration of rate caps, permit
distribution companies to enter into long-term contracts with
large industrial customers, and create a fee on electric
consumption that the state would direct toward conservation and
renewable technologies. On July 18, 2007, Governor Rendell
signed into law HB1203, amending the AEPS Act (amending the
force majeure and solar provisions), and HB1530, which amends
Title 66 of the Pennsylvania Utility Code, allowing electric
distribution companies to negotiate special contracts for larger
customers. Other elements of the Governors proposed energy
package will be considered further at a special legislative
session to be held beginning September 17, 2007.
|
|
|
|
Prior to June 30, 2007, the Illinois House and Senate
passed Senate Bill (SB) 1544 which provides for market
based sourcing of generation and the sale of electricity for
Illinois tax purposes. SB1544 is currently awaiting signature by
the Governor of Illinois to become law. The Governor of Illinois
has 60 days from June 29, 2007 to act on SB1544 before
such legislation automatically becomes law. If enacted, the
legislation becomes effective January 1, 2008. Exelon and
Generation are currently assessing the impact SB1544 may have on
their results of operations or cash flows.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management of each of the Registrants makes a number of
significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the
preparation of its financial statements. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates in Exelons 2006
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in the
Registrants accounting for asset retirement obligations,
asset impairments, depreciable lives of property, plant and
equipment, defined benefit pension and other postretirement
welfare benefits, regulatory accounting, derivative instruments,
contingencies, severance and revenue recognition.
Taxation
The Registrants are required to make judgments regarding the
potential tax effects of various financial transactions and
results of operations in order to estimate their obligations to
taxing authorities. Beginning January 1, 2007, the
Registrants began accounting for uncertain income tax positions
using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach, a
more-likely-than-not recognition criterion and a measurement
attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of
tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately
realized upon ultimate settlement in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). If it is not more likely than not that the
benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit
will be recorded. Uncertain tax positions that relate only to
timing of when an item is included on a tax return are
considered to have met the recognition threshold. Prior to
January 1, 2007, the Registrants estimated their uncertain
income tax obligations in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS No. 109), SFAS No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies (SFAS No. 5) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6,
Elements of Financial Statements a replacement
of FASB Concepts Statement No. 3 (incorporating an
amendment of FASB Concepts Statement No. 2) (CON 6).
The Registrants also have non-income tax obligations related to
real estate, sales and use and employment-related taxes and
ongoing appeals related to these tax matters that are outside
the scope of FIN 48 and accounted for under
SFAS No. 5 and CON 6.
Accounting for tax obligations requires judgments, including
estimating reserves for potential adverse outcomes regarding tax
positions that have been taken. The Registrants also assess
their ability to utilize tax attributes, including those in the
form of carryforwards, for which the benefits have already been
reflected in the financial statements. The Registrants do not
record valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to
capital losses that the Registrants believe will be realized in
future periods. While the Registrants believe the resulting tax
reserve balances as of June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006 are appropriately accounted for in accordance with
FIN 48, SFAS No. 5, SFAS No. 109 and
CON 6 as applicable, the ultimate outcome of such matters could
result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments to their
consolidated financial statements and such adjustments could be
material.

Net Income. Exelons net income
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 reflects higher
average margins on wholesale market sales; favorable weather
conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories; increased
electric and gas deliveries, excluding the effects of weather,
at ComEd and PECO; increased pricing for delivery services at
ComEd and PECO; and increased transmission revenues at ComEd.
These increases were partially offset by unrealized
mark-to-market losses on contracts not yet settled; decreased
energy margins at ComEd; higher operating and maintenance
expenses, including higher nuclear refueling outage expenses,
labor-related inflation and increased allowance for
uncollectible accounts expense at ComEd; the impact of
ComEds 2007 rate relief program and other post rate freeze
period transition expenses; an update of the nuclear
decommissioning asset retirement obligation recorded in the
second quarter of 2006; and favorable tax settlements at PECO in
2006.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues
increased due to an increase in wholesale and retail electric
sales at Generation due to higher volumes of generation sold to
the market as a result of the expiration of the ComEd PPA in
2006; higher market prices; favorable weather conditions in the
ComEd and PECO service territories; higher electric and gas
delivery volumes, excluding the effects of weather and customer
choice, at ComEd and PECO; rate changes and mix at ComEd due to
the end of the rate freeze and implementation of market-based
rates for electricity; impact of the distribution rate increase;
and increased transmission revenues at ComEd resulting from the
2007 transmission rate case. These increases were partially
offset by ComEd customers switching to competitive electric
generation suppliers and the impact of ComEds 2007 rate
relief program. See further analysis and discussion of operating
revenues by segment below.
100
Purchased Power and Fuel
Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense
increased due to higher volumes of power purchased in the market
and higher market energy prices. Purchased power represented 19%
of Generations total supply for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and compared to 17% for the three months
ended June 30, 2006. See further analysis and discussion of
purchased power and fuel expense by segment below.
Operating and Maintenance
Expense. Operating and maintenance expense
increased primarily due to the impact of higher nuclear
refueling outage costs; labor-related inflation; the impact of
ComEds 2007 rate relief program and other post rate freeze
period transition expenses; increased allowance for
uncollectible accounts expense at ComEd; and a decrease in
Generations nuclear decommissioning obligation related to
the AmerGen nuclear plants recorded in the second quarter of
2006. See further discussion of operating and maintenance
expenses by segment below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Expense. Depreciation and amortization
expense decreased primarily due to lower amortization related to
investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities. This
decrease was partially offset by additional CTC amortization at
PECO.
Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other
than income increased due to favorable tax settlements in 2006
and higher taxes on utility revenues at PECO in 2007.
Other Income and Deductions. The change
in other income and deductions reflects reduced earnings
associated with investments in synthetic fuel-producing
facilities and expenses recorded in 2006 related to the now
terminated merger with Public Service Enterprise Group
Incorporated (PSEG).
Effective Income Tax Rate. The
effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 30.9%
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 36.2%
for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The
synthetic-fuel producing facilities credit decreased the
effective income tax rate from continuing operations by 6.5% for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. Note 10 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On
January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generations sale
of its investment in Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe). In addition,
Exelon has sold or wound down substantially all components of
Enterprises. Accordingly, the results of operations and any gain
or loss on the sale of these entities have been presented as
discontinued operations within Exelons (for Sithe and
Enterprises) and Generations (for Sithe) Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. See
Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information regarding the
presentation of Sithe and certain Enterprises businesses as
discontinued operations.

Net Income. Second quarter
2007 net income was $578 million compared with
$500 million in the second quarter of 2006.
Generations net income in the second quarter of 2007
increased compared with the same quarter last year primarily due
to higher revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense,
offset by increased operating and maintenance expense, primarily
associated with an update of the nuclear decommissioning asset
retirement obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2006,
higher nuclear refueling outage expenses, and wage-related
inflation. Generations revenue, net of purchased power and
fuel expense, increased by $296 million in the second
quarter of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006, which
was driven by higher average margins primarily due to the end of
the below-market price PPA with ComEd at the end of 2006, the
contractual increase in the prices associated with
Generations PPA with PECO, and partially offset by lower
nuclear generation due to a higher number of refueling outage
days.

Trading volumes of 4,775 GWhs and 7,769 GWhs for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively, are not
included in the table above.
Electric sales to affiliates. Revenue from
sales to affiliates decreased $270 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period
in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $464 million
decrease from lower electric sales volume, partially offset by
higher prices resulting in a $194 million increase in
revenues.
In the ComEd territories, lower volumes resulted in a
$485 million decrease in revenues, partially offset by a
$146 million increase in revenues due to higher prices.
Generations PPA with ComEd expired December 31, 2006.
As a result of the expiration of the PPA and the results of the
auctions, beginning in 2007, Generation is selling more power
through bilateral agreements, which resulted in higher prices,
but a decrease in volumes to ComEd.
In the PECO territories, higher prices resulted in increased
revenues of $48 million due to a scheduled electric
generation rate increase that took effect January 1, 2007.
Additionally, volumes increased resulting in increased revenues
of $21 million.
Wholesale and retail electric sales. The
increase in Generations wholesale and retail electric
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006 consisted of the following:

Wholesale and retail electric sales increased $737 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the
same period in 2006. The increase was the result of higher
volumes of generation sold to the market at higher prices as a
result of the expiration of the ComEd PPA in 2006.
Retail gas sales. Retail gas sales decreased
$4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period in 2006, of which $8 million
was due to lower volumes as a result of lower demand, offset by
a $4 million increase due to higher realized prices.
Other revenue. The decrease in other revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the
same period in 2006 was due to a $16 million decrease
related to the termination of decommissioning collections from
ComEd in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ICC
Order which only permitted such collections through
December 31, 2006. There was a decrease of $36 million
due to the cessation of a tolling agreement. Additionally, a
$13 million decrease in other revenues was attributable to
the sale of Termoeléctrica del Golfo (TEG) and
Termoeléctrica Peñoles (TEP) on February 9, 2007
and the resulting absence of revenue thereafter.

Purchased Power Cost. Purchased power cost
includes all costs associated with the procurement of
electricity including capacity, energy and fuel costs associated
with tolling agreements. Generation had higher purchased power
volumes primarily due to lower nuclear output, partially offset
by lower purchased power volumes needed to supply ComEd due to
the expiration of the PPA at December 31, 2006.
Additionally, Generation realized overall higher prices for
purchased power. See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Generation Cost. Generation cost includes fuel
cost for internally generated energy. Generation experienced
overall lower generation costs for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 due to
decreased prices related to fossil fuel generation. The
decreased volume of $9 million was primarily due to lower
nuclear and fossil fuel generation.
Fuel Resale Cost. Fuel resale cost includes
retail gas purchases and wholesale fossil fuel expenses. The
changes in Generations fuel resale costs for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to quarter ended
104
2006 consisted of overall higher prices resulting in an increase
of $5 million. Additionally, a decrease of $8 million
was the result of lower volumes caused by lower demand.
Mark-to-market. Mark-to-market gains on power
hedging activities were $16 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to gains of $50 million
for the same period in 2006. Mark-to-market losses on fuel
hedging activities were $38 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to gains of $8 million
for the same period in 2006.
Generations average margins per MWh of electricity sold

The nuclear fleet capacity factor decreased primarily due to
more planned refueling outage days during the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. This
increase in planned refueling outage days was partially offset
by a decrease in non-refueling outage days. For the three months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, refueling outage days totaled
55 and 35, respectively, while non-refueling outage days totaled
18 and 24, respectively. The lower number of net MWhs
generated due to the higher number of planned refueling outage
days along with the associated refueling outage costs, resulted
in a higher production cost per MWh for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
increase in operating and maintenance expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 consisted of the following:

The $133 million increase in the nuclear
decommissioning-related activities was associated with the
recognition of a credit totaling $149 million which
represented the reduction in the asset retirement
|
105
|
|
|
|
|
obligation in excess of the asset retirement cost balance for
the AmerGen units recorded in the same period in 2006, offset by
a $16 million decrease resulting from the termination of
revenue collections from ComEd, which likewise no longer
required an offset through operating and maintenance expense.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The $19 million increase in nuclear fueling outage costs
was associated with more planned refueling outage days during
the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the
same period 2006.
|
|
|
|
The $19 million increase in pension, payroll and benefit
costs reflected the impact of inflation as well as an increase
in various direct and allocated fringe costs.
|
|
|
|
The $7 million increase in other operating and maintenance
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to an increase in
contracting charges resulting from increased outage costs for
fossil and hydroelectric facilities, offset primarily by a
decrease in service agreement-related expenses.
|
Depreciation and Amortization. The
decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 was primarily due to the reassessment of the useful lives,
for accounting purposes, of several fossil facilities.
Interest Expense. The decrease in net
interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007
as compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily
attributable to a decline in the amount of commercial paper that
was outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2007
as compared to the same period in 2006.
Other, Net. The change in other, net
reflects a gain on sale of investments recognized in the second
quarter of 2007.
Effective Income Tax Rate. There was
not a significant change in the effective income tax rate for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the
change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On
January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generations sale
of its investment in Sithe Energies, Inc (Sithe). Accordingly,
the results of operations and the gain on the sale of Sithe have
been presented as discontinued operations within
Generations Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, there was no
significant activity related to discontinued operations included
in Generations Consolidated Statement of Income and
Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended June 30,
2006, Generations Consolidated Statement of Income and
Comprehensive Income included $3 million (after-tax) gain
on disposal of discontinued operations. See Notes 2 and 4
of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the presentation of Sithe as
discontinued operations.

Net Income. As more fully described
below, ComEds net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 reflected
lower operating revenues, higher purchased power expense, higher
operating and maintenance expense and higher interest expense.
Beginning in 2007, ComEd ceased earning margin on the energy
component of its deliveries to its customers, nor is it
collecting CTC revenues. While ComEds 2007 results reflect
an $83 million annual rate increase as allowed by the ICC,
this rate increase was based generally on 2004 costs and does
not include the impacts of increased operating expenses since
2004 or additional net capital investment since the end of 2005.
ComEd anticipates filing a new delivery service rate case during
the third quarter of 2007 based on a 2006 test year and also
filed a transmission rate case during the first quarter 2007. On
June 5, 2007, FERC issued an order for the transmission
rate case conditionally approving ComEds proposal to
implement a formula based transmission rate effective
May 1, 2007, subject to refund. The requested rate increase
is designed to reduce the regulatory lag related to recovery of
these costs and returns on ComEds investments. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion. In 2007, ComEd incurred
increased costs associated with transitioning from the rate
freeze period including implementing the Rate Relief and Rate
Stabilization programs.

Customer
choice
Revenue. All ComEd customers have the choice
to purchase electricity from a competitive electric generation
supplier. This choice does not impact the volume of deliveries,
but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied
electricity and generation service. As of June 30, 2007,
two competitive electric generation suppliers had been granted
approval to serve residential customers in the ComEd service
territory. However, they are not currently supplying electricity
to any residential customers.
As a result of ComEds higher electricity rates, more
non-residential customers have elected to have a competitive
electric generation supplier provide their electricity. For the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 51% and 24%,
respectively, of electricity delivered to ComEds retail
customers was provided by competitive electric generation
suppliers. Most of the customers previously receiving
electricity under the power purchase option (PPO) are now
electing either to buy their electricity from a competitive
electric generation supplier or from ComEd under tariff rates.

Purchased Power. The decrease in purchased
power expense from customer choice was primarily due to more
ComEd non-residential customers electing to purchase electricity
from a competitive electric generation supplier.
108
Rate
changes and mix
Revenue. The increase in revenue related to
rate changes and mix primarily reflects the end of the rate
freeze and the implementation of market-based rates for
electricity and the impact of the distribution rate increase. In
2006, most customers were charged a bundled rate that included
distribution, transmission and the cost of electricity.
Additionally, under Illinois law, no CTCs are permitted to be
collected after 2006. As of January 2007, ComEd began billing
customers on an unbundled basis which includes separate charges
for distribution, transmission and electricity. Given the
relatively small increase approved by the ICC in the annual
distribution rates of $83 million, the majority of the
change in year over year pricing is driven by the inclusion of
market-based electricity rates. The market-based electricity
rates were determined through the reverse-auction competitive
bidding process. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Additionally starting in 2007, ComEd is recovering former
manufacturing gas plant remediation costs from customers.
Purchased Power. Purchased power increased due
to higher electricity prices. The PPA with Generation terminated
at the end of 2006. In 2007, as a result of the ICC approved
reverse-auction process, ComEd began procuring electricity,
including ancillary services, under its supplier forward
contracts for the blended and annual products and from
PJM-administered wholesale electricity markets for the hourly
product. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information on the reverse-auction
process.
Rate
Relief Program
Revenue. As part of its program for customer
rate relief, ComEd is issuing credits to certain customers. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on the Rate Relief Programs.
Transmission
Revenue. In 2007, ComEd experienced increased
revenue for the provision of transmission services resulting
from increased peak and kWh load within the ComEd service
territory. Additionally on June 5, 2007, FERC issued an
order for the transmission rate case conditionally approving
ComEds proposal to implement a formula based transmission
rate effective May 1, 2007, subject to refund. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on the Transmission Rate Case.
Weather
Revenue. Revenues were higher due to favorable
weather conditions for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006. The demand for electricity
is affected by weather conditions. Very warm weather in summer
months and very cold weather in other months are referred to as
favorable weather conditions because these weather
conditions result in increased sales of electricity. Conversely,
mild weather reduces demand. In ComEds service territory,
cooling degree days were 43% higher during the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power. The increase in purchased
power expense attributable to weather was due to higher demand
resulting from favorable weather conditions in the ComEd service
territory relative to the prior year.
Volume
Revenue. The increase in revenues for the
provision of distribution services primarily resulted from an
increase in deliveries, excluding the effects of weather, due to
an increased number of customers.
Other
Revenue Economic Hedge Derivative
Contracts. During the three months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2006, ComEd had a net $5 million decrease in
economic hedge derivative contracts activity, including
mark-to-market adjustments and settlements.
109
Revenue Wholesale
Contracts. ComEds revenues decreased
$11 million as a result of certain wholesale contracts
expiring in May 2007.
Purchased Power Wholesale

$8 million as a result of certain wholesale contracts
expiring in May 2007.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
changes in operating and maintenance expense for the three

In 2007, ComEds amortization reflects the impacts of the
elimination of the regulatory asset for recoverable transition
costs partially offset by the initial amortization of the
various regulatory assets authorized by the ICC in its 2006
orders. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information.
Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other
than income increased for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of an
increase in real estate and property taxes.
Interest Expense, Net. The increase in
interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulted from
higher debt balances and higher interest rates. Also in 2007,
ComEds interest expense, net reflected $3 million of
the initial amortization of the regulatory asset related to the
early debt retirement costs authorized by the ICC in 2006.

Net Income. PECOs net income for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006 increased primarily due to higher operating
revenues, net of purchased power and fuel expense, which
reflected increased sales from favorable weather conditions for
electric and gas and increased usage across all customer classes
for electric. Partially offsetting higher operating revenues,
net of purchased power and fuel expense, was higher CTC
amortization, which was in accordance with PECOs 1998
restructuring settlement with the PAPUC, which was mandated by
the Pennsylvania Electricity Generation Customer Choice and
Competition Act (Competition Act).
Electric and Gas Operating Revenues, Purchased Power and
Fuel Expense. The changes in PECOs
operating revenues and purchased power and fuel expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006 consisted of the following:

Weather
Revenues. The demand for electricity and gas
is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric
business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect
to the electric and gas businesses, very cold weather in other
months are referred to as favorable weather
conditions because these weather conditions result in
increased sales of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather
reduces demand. Revenues were higher due to favorable weather
conditions in PECOs service territory, where heating
degree days and cooling degree days were 51% and 22% higher,
respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power and fuel expense attributable to weather was
due to higher demand as a result of favorable weather conditions
in the PECO service territory relative to the prior year.
Volume
Revenues. The increase in revenues as a result
of higher delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather
and customer choice, reflected increased usage across all
customer classes for electric and across residential and large
commercial and industrial customer classes for gas. In addition,
there was a favorable impact of an increased number of customers
primarily in the residential and small commercial and industrial
customer classes for electric and gas.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power and fuel expense as a result of higher
delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and
customer choice, reflected increased usage across all customer
classes for electric and across residential and large commercial
and industrial classes for gas. In addition, the increase
reflected the impact of an increased number of customers
primarily in the residential and small commercial and industrial
customer classes for electric and gas.
Rate
increases (decreases)
Revenues. The increase in electric revenues
attributable to electric rate increases reflects a scheduled
electric generation rate increase effective for customer bills
for electric generation service delivered after customers
January 2007 meter readings, which represents the last scheduled
rate increase through 2010 under PECOs 1998 restructuring
settlement. This rate increase does not affect operating income
as PECO incurs corresponding and offsetting purchased power
expense under its PPA with Generation. The decrease in gas
revenues was due to net decreases in rates through
PAPUC-approved quarterly changes to the purchased gas adjustment
clause. The average purchased gas cost rate per million cubic
feet in effect for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was
16% lower than the average rate for the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power expense attributable to electric rate
increases reflects the scheduled generation rate increase under
the PPA with Generation. The decrease in fuel expense reflects
lower gas prices.
Customer
choice
Revenues and Purchased Power. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 2% of energy delivered
to PECOs retail customers was provided by competitive
electric generation suppliers.
All PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy from a
competitive electric generation supplier. This choice does not
affect the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected
from customers related to supplied energy and generation
service. PECOs operating income is not affected by
customer choice since any increase or decrease in revenues is
completely offset by any related increase or decrease in
purchased power expense.

The increase in electric retail revenue and expense associated
with customer choice reflects customers, primarily from the
small commercial and industrial customer class, returning to
PECO as their electric supplier.
Other
rate changes and mix
Revenues. The decrease in electric and gas
revenues attributable to other rate changes and mix reflects the
effects of rate blocking, whereby certain customer charges per
unit of energy are reduced when customer usage exceeds a certain
threshold.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power attributable to other rate changes and mix
reflects a change in the mix of average pricing related to
PECOs PPA with Generation.
Other
revenues and expenses
Revenues. The increase in electric and gas
revenues was primarily due to increased late charges.
Purchased Power and Fuel. The decrease in
purchased power was due to various factors, none of which were
individually material.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
changes in operating and maintenance expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in

Depreciation and Amortization
Expense. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to an
increase in CTC amortization of $15 million. PECOs
additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance with its
original settlement under the Competition Act.

|
As these taxes were collected from
customers and remitted to the taxing authorities and included in
revenues and expenses, the increase in tax expense was offset by
a corresponding increase in revenues.
|
|
(b)
|
|
Represents the reduction of tax
accruals in the second quarter of 2006 following settlements
related to 2005 tax assessments.
|
Interest Expense, Net. The decrease in
interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to
scheduled payments on long-term debt owed to PECO Energy
Transition Trust (PETT), partially offset by an increase in
interest expense associated with a higher amount of outstanding
long-term First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds.
Other, Net. The increase for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 was primarily due to interest income associated with the
adoption of FIN 48. See Note 14 of the Combined Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the
components of other, net. See Notes 3 and 10 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding the adoption of FIN 48.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax
rate was 36.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to 32.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details of the components of the
effective income tax rates.

Net Income. Exelons net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflects higher
average margins on wholesale market sales; higher nuclear output
at Generation; decreased nuclear refueling outage costs; a
favorable PJM billing settlement with PPL; favorable weather
conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories; increased
electric and gas deliveries, excluding the effects of weather,
at ComEd and PECO; increased pricing for delivery services at
ComEd and PECO; increased transmission revenues at ComEd; and
increased earnings associated with investments in synthetic
fuel-producing facilities. These increases were partially offset
by unrealized mark-to-market losses on contracts not yet
settled; decreased energy margins at ComEd; higher operating and
maintenance expenses, including labor-related inflation and
increased allowance for uncollectible accounts expense at ComEd;
the impact of ComEds 2007 rate relief program and other
post rate freeze period transition expenses; increased
depreciation and amortization expense, primarily related to CTC
amortization at PECO; an update of the nuclear decommissioning
asset retirement obligation recorded in the second quarter of
2006; and favorable tax settlements at PECO in 2006.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues
increased due to an increase in wholesale and retail electric
sales at Generation due to higher volumes of generation sold to
the market as a result of the expiration of the ComEd PPA in
2006; higher market prices; favorable weather conditions in the
ComEd and PECO service territories; higher electric and gas
delivery volumes, excluding the effects of weather and customer
choice, at ComEd and PECO; rate changes and mix at ComEd due to
the end of the rate freeze and implementation of market-based
rates for electricity; impact of the distribution rate increase;
and increased transmission revenues at ComEd resulting from the
2007 transmission rate case and increased load. These increases
were partially offset by ComEd customers
118
switching to competitive electric generation suppliers and the
impact of ComEds 2007 rate relief program. See further
analysis and discussion of operating revenues by segment below.
Purchased Power and Fuel
Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense
increased due to higher volumes of power purchased in the market
and higher market energy prices. Purchased power represented 19%
of Generations total supply for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and compared to 17% for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. This increase was partially offset by a
favorable PJM billing settlement with PPL. See further analysis
and discussion of purchased power and fuel expense by segment
below.
Operating and Maintenance
Expense. Operating and maintenance expense
increased primarily due to labor-related inflation; the impact
of ComEds 2007 rate relief program and other post rate
freeze period transition expenses; increased allowance for
uncollectible accounts expense at ComEd; and a decrease in
Generations nuclear decommissioning obligation related to
the AmerGen nuclear plants recorded in the second quarter of
2006. See further discussion of operating and maintenance
expenses by segment below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Expense. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased primarily due to additional CTC amortization
at PECO. This increase was partially offset by lower
amortization related to investments in synthetic fuel-producing
facilities.
Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other
than income increased primarily due to favorable tax settlements
at PECO in 2006 and higher taxes on utility revenues at PECO in
2007.
Other Income and Deductions. The change
in other income and deductions reflects interest income related
to the favorable PJM billing settlement with PPL, a gain related
to the sale of investments by Generation, earnings associated
with investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities and
expenses recorded in 2006 related to the now terminated merger
with PSEG.
Effective Income Tax Rate. The
effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 31.9%
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 35.1%
for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The synthetic-fuel
producing facilities credit decreased the effective income tax
rate from continuing operations by 5.6% for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the
change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On
January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generations sale
of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or
wound down substantially all components of Enterprises.
Accordingly, the results of operations and any gain or loss on
the sale of these entities have been presented as discontinued
operations within Exelons (for Sithe and Enterprises) and
Generations (for Sithe) Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2 and 4 of
the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the presentation of Sithe and
certain Enterprises businesses as discontinued operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Exelons
Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income
included $9 million (after-tax) of income from discontinued
operations related to a favorable legal settlement at
Enterprises and $3 million (after-tax) of income from
discontinued operations related primarily to Sithe, resulting
from a settlement agreement between a subsidiary of Sithe, the
Pennsylvania Attorney Generals Office and the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue regarding a previously disputed tax
position asserted for the 2000 tax year.

Net Income. Generations net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006 increased primarily due to higher
revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, offset by
increased operating and maintenance expense, primarily
associated with an update of the nuclear decommissioning asset
retirement obligation recorded in the second quarter of 2006,
higher nuclear refueling outage expenses and wage-related
inflation. Generations revenue, net of purchased power and
fuel expense, increased by $689 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006,
which was driven by higher average margins primarily due to the
end of the below-market price PPA with ComEd at the end of 2006,
the contractual increase in the prices associated with
Generations PPA with PECO, and by a PJM billing settlement
with PPL. In addition to these impacts, Generations net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included (all
after tax) a gain on the sale of investments of $11 million
and earnings of $5 million associated with the settlement
of a tax matter related to Generations previous investment
in Sithe.

Trading volumes of 9,876 GWhs and 14,754 GWhs for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively, are not included
in the table above.
Electric sales to affiliates. Revenue from
sales to affiliates decreased $582 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period
in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $970 million
decrease from lower electric sales volume, partially offset by
higher prices resulting in a $388 million increase in
revenues.
In the ComEd territories, lower volumes resulted in a
$1,021 million decrease in revenues, partially offset by a
$306 million increase in revenues due to higher prices.
Generations PPA with ComEd expired December 31, 2006.
As a result of the expiration of the PPA and the results of the
auctions, beginning in 2007, Generation is selling more power
through bilateral agreements, which resulted in higher prices,
but a decrease in volumes to ComEd.
In the PECO territories, higher prices resulted in increased
revenues of $82 million due to a scheduled electric
generation rate increase that took effect January 1, 2007.
Additionally, volumes increased resulting in increased revenues
of $51 million.
Wholesale and retail electric sales. The
increase in Generations wholesale and retail electric
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006 consisted of the following:

Wholesale and retail electric sales increased
$1,628 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was the
result of higher volumes of generation sold to the market as a
result of the expiration of the ComEd PPA in 2006.
122
Retail gas sales. Retail gas sales decreased
$71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period in 2006, of which $41 million
was due to lower realized prices and $30 million was due to
lower volumes as a result of lower demand.
Other revenue. The decrease in other revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006 was due to a $32 million decrease related to
the termination of decommissioning collections from ComEd in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the ICC Order which
only permitted such collections through December 31, 2006.
There was a decrease of $36 million due to the cessation of
a tolling agreement. Additionally, a $24 million decrease
in other revenues was attributable to the sale of TEG and TEP on
February 9, 2007 and the resulting absence of revenue
thereafter.

Purchased Power Cost. Purchased power cost
includes all costs associated with the procurement of
electricity including capacity, energy and fuel costs associated
with tolling agreements. Generation experienced overall higher
volumes that were attributable to increased purchases from PPAs
and to serve load commitments. These increases were partially
offset by lower purchased power volumes needed to supply ComEd
due to the expiration of the PPA at December 31, 2006.
Further, Generation realized overall lower prices for purchased
power. Additionally, Generations purchased power cost
decreased $28 million due to the PJM billing dispute
settlement with PPL. See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Generation Cost. Generation cost includes fuel
cost for internally generated energy. Generation experienced
overall lower generation costs for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 due to
decreased prices related to fossil fuel generation. The
increased volume of $3 million was primarily due to higher
nuclear generation.
Fuel Resale Cost. Fuel resale cost includes
retail gas purchases and wholesale fossil fuel expenses. The
changes in Generations fuel resale costs for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period
in 2006 consisted of overall lower prices resulting in a
decrease of $45 million. Additionally, a decrease of
$28 million was the result of lower volumes caused by lower
demand.
123
Mark-to-market. Mark-to-market losses on power
hedging activities were $145 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to gains of $88 million
for the same period in 2006. Mark-to-market gains on fuel
hedging activities were $8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to losses of $52 million for
the same period in 2006.
Generations average margins per MWh of electricity sold
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as

|
The nuclear fleet capacity factor increased primarily due to
fewer planned refueling outage and non-refueling outage days
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the
same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, refueling outage days totaled 95 and 114,
respectively, and non-refueling outage days totaled 19 and 49,
respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, both Quad Cities units operated at Extended
Power Uprate (EPU) generation levels for the entire period as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, when the
generation levels of both Quad Cities units operated
intermittently at pre-EPU generation levels during that period
to address vibration related equipment issues. The higher number
of net MWhs generated was offset by labor-related
inflation and higher costs for nuclear fuel, NRC reactor fees,
and security, resulting in a slightly higher production cost per
MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
the same period in 2006.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
increase in operating and maintenance expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006

|

|
|
|
|
124
The net $149 million increase was primarily attributable to
the following:
|
|
|
|
|
A $118 million increase in nuclear decommissioning-related
activities was associated with the recognition of a credit
totaling $149 million which represented a reduction in the
asset retirement obligation in excess of the asset retirement
cost balance for the AmerGen units recorded in the same period
in 2006, offset by a $31 million decrease resulting from
the termination of revenue collections from ComEd, which
likewise no longer required an offset through operating and
maintenance expense.
|
|
|
|
A $43 million increase in pension, payroll and benefit
costs reflected the impact of inflation as well as an increase
in various direct and allocated fringe costs.
|
|
|
|
A $9 million decrease in nuclear refueling outage costs was
associated with the fewer planned refueling outage days during
the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2006.
|
|
|
|
A $3 million decrease in other operating and maintenance
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in
service agreement-related expenses, offset by an increase in
contracting charges resulting from increased outage costs for
fossil and hydroelectric facilities.
|
Depreciation and Amortization. The
decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 was primarily due to the reassessment of the useful lives,
for accounting purposes, of several fossil facilities.
Interest Expense. The decrease in net
interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily attributable
to an interest payment made in 2006 to the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) in settlement of a tax matter and to a decline in
the amount of commercial paper that was outstanding during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2006.
Other, Net. The change in other, net
reflects a gain on sale of investments recognized in the first
and second quarters of 2007.
Effective Income Tax Rate. There was
not a significant change in the effective income tax rate for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the
change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On
January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generations sale
of its investment in Sithe. Accordingly, the results of
operations and the gain on the sale of Sithe have been presented
as discontinued operations within Generations Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Generations
Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income
included $5 million (after-tax) gain on disposal of
discontinued operations related primarily to Sithe, resulting
from a settlement agreement between a subsidiary of Sithe, the
Pennsylvania Attorney Generals Office and the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue regarding a previously disputed tax
position asserted for the 2000 tax year. For the six months
ended June 30, 2006, Generations Consolidated
Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income included
$3 million (after-tax) gain on disposal of discontinued
operations. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
regarding the presentation of Sithe as discontinued operations.

Net Income. As more fully described
below, ComEds net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 reflected
higher purchased power expense, higher operating and maintenance
expense, higher depreciation and amortization expense and higher
interest expense. Beginning in 2007, ComEd ceased earning margin
on the energy component of its deliveries to its customers, nor
is it collecting CTC revenues. While ComEds 2007 results
reflect an $83 million annual rate increase as allowed by
the ICC, this rate increase was based generally on 2004 costs
and does not include the impacts of increased operating expenses
since 2004 or additional net capital investment since the end of
2005. ComEd anticipates filing a new delivery service rate case
during the third quarter of 2007 based on a 2006 test year and
also filed a transmission rate case during the first quarter
2007. On June 5, 2007, FERC issued an order for the
transmission rate case conditionally approving ComEds
proposal to implement a formula based transmission rate
effective May 1, 2007, subject to refund. The requested
rate increase is designed to help reduce the regulatory lag
related to recovery of these costs and returns on ComEds
investments. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. In
2007, ComEd incurred increased costs associated with
transitioning from the rate freeze period including implementing
the Rate Relief and Rate Stabilization programs.

Customer
choice
Revenue. All ComEd customers have the choice
to purchase electricity from a competitive electric generation
supplier. This choice does not impact the volume of deliveries,
but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied
electricity and generation service. As of June 30, 2007,
two competitive electric generation suppliers had been granted
approval to serve residential customers in the ComEd service
territory. However, they are not currently supplying electricity
to any of ComEds residential customers.
As a result of ComEds higher electricity rates, more
non-residential customers have elected to have a competitive
electric generation supplier provide their electricity. For the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 48% and 21%,
respectively, of electricity delivered to ComEds retail
customers was provided by competitive electric generation
suppliers. Most of the customers previously receiving
electricity under the PPO are now electing either to buy their
electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier or
from ComEd under tariff rates.

Purchased Power. The decrease in purchased
power expense from customer choice was primarily due to more
ComEd non-residential customers electing to purchase electricity
from a competitive electric generation supplier.
127
Rate
changes and mix
Revenue. The increase in revenue related to
rate changes and mix primarily reflects the end of the rate
freeze and the implementation of market-based rates for
electricity and the impact of the distribution rate increase. In
2006, most customers were charged a bundled rate that included
distribution, transmission and the cost of electricity.
Additionally, under Illinois law, no CTCs are permitted to be
collected after 2006. As of January 2007, ComEd began billing
customers on an unbundled basis, which includes separate charges
for distribution, transmission and electricity. Given the
relatively small increase approved by the ICC in the annual
distribution rates of $83 million, the majority of the
change in year over year pricing is driven by the inclusion of
market-based electricity rates. The market-based electricity
rates were determined through the reverse-auction competitive
bidding process. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Additionally starting in 2007, ComEd is recovering former
manufacturing gas plant remediation costs from customers.
Purchased Power. Purchased power increased due
to higher electricity prices. The PPA with Generation terminated
at the end of 2006. In 2007, as a result of the ICC approved
reverse-auction process, ComEd began procuring electricity,
including ancillary services, under its supplier forward
contracts for the blended and annual products and from
PJM-administered wholesale electricity markets for the hourly
product. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information on the reverse-auction
process.
Rate
Relief Program
Revenue. As part of its program for customer
rate relief, ComEd is issuing credits to certain customers. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on the Rate Relief Programs.
Transmission
Revenue. In 2007, ComEd experienced increased
revenue for the provision of transmission services resulting
from increased peak and kWh load within the ComEd service
territory. Additionally on June 5, 2007, FERC issued an
order for the transmission rate case conditionally approving
ComEds proposal to implement a formula based transmission
rate effective May 1, 2007, subject to refund. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on the Transmission Rate Case.
Purchased Power. Effective December 1,
2004, PJM became obligated to pay Seams Elimination
Charge/Cost
Adjustment/Assignment (SECA) collections to ComEd and ComEd
became obligated to pay SECA charges. These charges were being
collected subject to refund as they are being disputed. ComEd
recorded SECA collections and payments on a net basis through
purchased power expense. As ComEd was a net collector of SECA
charges, ComEd recorded $5 million of net SECA
collections during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, ComEd
adjusted its reserve for SECA to reflect managements best
estimate of amounts that will ultimately be required to be
refunded. The reserve existing at June 30, 2007 continues
to represent managements best estimate. Management of
ComEd believes that the appropriate reserve has been established
in the event that some portion of SECA collections are required
to be refunded. SECA charges expired on March 31, 2006. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on the SECA rates.
Weather
Revenue. Revenues were higher due to favorable
weather conditions for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006. In ComEds service
territory, heating degree days were 14% higher and cooling
degree days were 46% higher during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power. The increase in purchased power expense
attributable to weather was resulting from higher demand due to
favorable weather conditions in the ComEd service territory
relative to the prior year.
128
Volume
Revenue. The increase in revenues for the
provision of distribution services primarily resulted from an
increase in deliveries, excluding the effects of weather, due to
an increased number of customers.
Other
Revenue Economic Hedge Derivative
Contracts. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2006, ComEd had a net $5 million increase in
economic hedge derivative contracts activity, including
mark-to-market adjustments and settlements.
Revenue Wholesale
Contracts. ComEds revenue decreased
$11 million as a result of certain wholesale contracts
expiring in May 2007.
Purchased Power Wholesale
Contracts. ComEds purchased power decreased
$8 million as a result of certain wholesale contracts
expiring in May 2007.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
changes in operating and maintenance expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006

ComEds Rate Stabilization plan and other costs associated
with transitioning to the post rate freeze period. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.
|
|
(b)
|
|
Reflects the impact of higher
revenues due to increased customer receivables resulting from
the inclusion of market-based electricity rates and higher
delivery rates. Also reflects an increase in older outstanding
receivable balances from customers as a result of a management
decision to reduce the number of non-paying customers being
disconnected.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Reflects increases in various
fringe benefits primarily due to increased pension and other
postretirement benefits costs of $8 million.

Depreciation and Amortization
Expense. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 consisted of the following:

In 2007, ComEds amortization reflects the initial
amortization of the various regulatory assets authorized by the
ICC in its 2006 orders, partially offset by the impacts of the
elimination of the regulatory asset for recoverable transition
costs. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information.
129
Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other
than income increased for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of an
increase in the Illinois Electricity Distribution tax and an
increase in real estate and property taxes.
Interest Expense, Net. The increase in
interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulted from
higher debt balances and higher interest rates. Also in 2007,
ComEds interest expense, net reflected $7 million of
the initial amortization of the regulatory asset related to the
early debt retirement costs authorized by the ICC in 2006.
Other, Net. Other, net increased for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006. The changes consisted of the following:

Net Income. PECOs net income for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006 increased primarily due to higher operating
revenues, net of purchased power and fuel expense, which
reflected increased sales from favorable weather conditions,
increased usage across all customer classes, the completion of
certain authorized rate increases which began in 2006 and the
favorable settlement of a PJM billing dispute. Partially
offsetting higher operating revenues, net of purchased power and
fuel expense, was higher CTC amortization, which was in
accordance with the Competition Act.
Electric and Gas Operating Revenues, Purchased Power and
Fuel Expense. The changes in PECOs
operating revenues and purchased power and fuel expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period
in 2006 consisted of the following:

Weather
Revenues. Revenues were higher due to
favorable weather conditions in PECOs service territory,
where heating degree days and cooling degree days were 19% and
21% higher, respectively, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power and fuel expense attributable to weather was
due to higher demand as a result of favorable weather conditions
in the PECO service territory relative to the prior year.
Volume
Revenues. The increase in revenues as a result
of higher delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather
and customer choice, reflected increased usage across all
customer classes for electric and gas. In addition, there was a
favorable impact of an increased number of customers primarily
in the residential and small commercial and industrial classes
for electric and gas.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in expenses as a result of higher delivery volume, exclusive of
the effects of weather and customer choice, reflected increased
usage across all customer classes for electric and gas and the
impact of an increased number of customers primarily in the
residential and small commercial and industrial classes for
electric and gas.
Rate
increases (decreases)
Revenues. The increase in electric revenues
attributable to electric rate increases reflected
$11 million associated with the completion in January 2007
of scheduled CTC and distribution rate increases which began in
2006. In addition, effective for customer bills for electric
generation service delivered after customers January 2007
meter readings, a scheduled electric generation rate increase
took effect, which represents the last scheduled rate increase
through 2010 under PECOs 1998 restructuring settlement.
This rate increase does not affect operating income as PECO will
incur corresponding and offsetting purchased power expense under
its PPA with Generation. The decrease in gas revenues was due to
net decreases in rates through PAPUC-approved quarterly changes
to the purchased gas adjustment clause. The average purchased
gas cost rate per million cubic feet in effect for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 was 18% lower than the average
rate for the same period in 2006.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in purchased power expense attributable to electric rate
increase reflects the scheduled generation rate increase under
the PPA with Generation. The decrease in fuel expense reflects
lower gas prices.
Settlement
of PJM billing dispute
Purchased Power. PECOs purchased power
expense decreased $10 million due to the settlement of a
PJM billing dispute with PPL. See Note 13 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion.
Customer
choice
Revenues and Purchased Power. For the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 2% of energy delivered
to PECOs retail customers was provided by competitive
electric generation suppliers.
All PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy from a
competitive electric generation supplier. This choice does not
affect the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected
from customers related to supplied energy and generation
service. PECOs operating income is not affected by
customer choice since any increase or decrease in revenues is
completely offset by any related increase or decrease in
purchased power expense.

The increase in electric retail revenue and expense associated
with customer choice reflects customers, primarily from the
small commercial and industrial customer class, returning to
PECO as their electric supplier.
Other
rate changes and mix
Revenues. The decrease in electric and gas
revenues attributable to other rate changes and mix primarily
reflects the effects of rate blocking, whereby certain customer
charges per unit of energy are reduced when customer usage
exceeds a certain threshold.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The increase
in fuel expense reflects a timing difference between how fuel
costs are recognized and the fuel commodity component in
customers rates.
Other
revenues and expenses
Revenues. The increase in electric revenues
was primarily due to increased late charges. The increase in gas
revenues was primarily due to increased off-system sales.
Purchased Power and Fuel. The increase in gas
fuel expense was due to increased off-system sales.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The
changes in operating and maintenance expense for the six months

In January 2005, as part of a
broader systems strategy at PECO associated with the proposed
merger with PSEG, Exelons Board of Directors approved the
implementation of a new customer information and billing system
at PECO. The approval of this new system required the
accelerated amortization of PECOs current system through
2006 and the recognition of additional amortization expense in
2005 and 2006. The new system was implemented in the fourth
quarter 2006.

|
Interest Expense, Net. The decrease in
interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to
scheduled principal payments on long-term debt owed to PECO
Energy Transition Trust (PETT), partially offset by an increase
in interest expense associated with higher outstanding long-term
first mortgage bonds.
Other, Net. The increase for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 was primarily due to interest income associated with the
adoption of FIN 48 and the PJM billing dispute settlement.
See Note 14 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details of the components of other, net.
See Notes 3 and 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
adoption of FIN 48. See Note 13 of the Combined Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
on the PJM billing dispute settlement.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax
rate was 35.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to 33.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Registrants operating and capital expenditures
requirements are provided by internally generated cash flows
from operations as well as funds from external sources in the
capital markets and through bank borrowings or, in the case of
Generation and PECO, through capital contributions from Exelon
when necessary. The Registrants businesses are capital
intensive and require considerable capital resources. Each
Registrants access to external financing on reasonable
terms depends on its credit ratings and current overall capital
market business conditions, including that of the utility
industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the
extent that the Registrants no longer have access to the capital
markets at reasonable terms, Exelon, Generation, PECO have
access to unsecured revolving credit facilities with aggregate
bank commitments of $1 billion, $5 billion, and
$600 million, respectively, and ComEd has access to secured
revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of
$1 billion, that they currently utilize to support their
commercial paper programs and to issue letters of credit. At
June 30, 2007, ComEd has borrowed $475 million from
its credit facility since its access to the commercial paper
market is limited due to its current credit ratings. See the
Credit Matters section below for further discussion.
Exelon expects cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating,
financing and capital expenditure requirements. See
Liquidity and Capital Resources within Exelons
2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for additional information.
The Registrants primarily use their capital resources, including
cash, to fund capital requirements, including construction
expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, fund pension
obligations and invest in new and existing ventures. The
Registrants spend a significant amount of cash on capital
improvements and construction projects that have a long-term
return on investment. Additionally, ComEd and PECO operate in
rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new
investment recovery may be limited and where such recovery takes
place over an extended period of time. As a result of these
factors, each of Exelons, ComEd and PECOs working
capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, is
in a net deficit position. ComEd intends to refinance maturing
long-term debt and to repay a portion of its credit facility
borrowings with long-term debt. As of June 30, 2007, ComEd
has the capacity to issue up to approximately $460 million
of additional first mortgage bonds subject to certain
restrictions. To manage cash flows as more fully described
below, ComEd did not pay a dividend in 2006 or during the six
months ended June 30, 2007. Future acquisitions that Exelon
may undertake may involve external debt financing or the
issuance of additional Exelon common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
the same period in 2006, ComEd experienced a decrease in
operating cash flows primarily due to a change in its payment
terms with energy suppliers resulting from
137
downgraded credit ratings and due to under-recovery of energy
costs, which have been recognized as a regulatory asset.
Beginning in 2007, ComEd ceased earning margin on the energy
component of its deliveries to its customers, nor is it
collecting CTC revenues. While ComEds 2007 results reflect
an $83 million annual rate increase as allowed by the ICC,
this rate increase was based generally on 2004 costs and does
not include the impacts of increased operating expenses since
2004 or additional net capital investment since the end of 2005.
ComEd anticipates filing a new delivery service rate case during
the third quarter of 2007 based on a 2006 test year and also
filed a transmission rate case during the first quarter 2007. On
June 5, 2007, FERC issued an order for the transmission
rate case conditionally approving ComEds proposal to
implement a formula based transmission rate effective
May 1, 2007, subject to refund. The requested rate increase
is designed to reduce the regulatory lag related to recovery of
these costs and returns on ComEds investments. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Generations cash flows from operating activities primarily
result from the sale of electric energy to wholesale customers,
including ComEd and PECO. Generations future cash flows
from operating activities will be affected by demand for and
market prices of energy and its ability to continue to produce
and supply power at competitive costs as well as make
collections from customers. ComEds and PECOs cash
flows from operating activities primarily result from sales of
electricity and, in the case of PECO, gas to a stable and
diverse base of retail customers at fixed prices and are
weighted toward the third quarter of each fiscal year.
ComEds and PECOs future cash flows will be affected
by the economy, weather, customer choice, existing and future
regulatory proceedings relating to their revenues and their
ability to achieve operating cost reductions. See Notes 5
and 13 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of regulatory and legal
proceedings and proposed legislation.
Operating cash flows could be negatively affected by changes in
the rate regulatory environments of ComEd and PECO, although any
effects are not expected to hinder the ability of PECO to fund
its business requirements. Beginning in 2007, ComEd began
purchasing electricity through the ICC authorized
reverse-auction process in order to meet the retail electricity
needs of ComEds customers because ComEd does not own any
generation. If the price at which ComEd is allowed to sell
electricity is below ComEds cost to procure and deliver
electricity, there may be material adverse consequences to ComEd
and, possibly, Exelon. However, the Proposed Legislation
introduced in the State of Illinois in July 2007 in connection
with the Settlement has significantly reduced the probability of
rate freeze legislation and other legislative actions proposed
in previous periods. If enacted, the Proposed Legislation should
provide ComEd with greater stability and certainty that it will
be able to procure electricity and pass through the costs of
that electricity to its customers. Additionally, ComEd has
implemented a voluntary cap and deferral program to
mitigate the impact on its residential customers of
transitioning to the post rate freeze period. ComEds cash
flows from operations will be reduced in the first years of the
program, but will increase as any deferred amounts are collected
with a 3.25% return on any deferred balances. As of
June 30, 2007, approximately 36,000 or 1% of ComEds
residential customers have enrolled in the program. ComEd has
also implemented various other programs to assist its
residential customers, including a $64 million rate relief
package and other initiatives. See Note 5 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of ComEds procurement case, residential rate
stabilization program and rate relief efforts.
Beginning in 2007, Generations sales to counterparties
other than ComEd and PECO increased due to the expiration of the
PPA with ComEd on December 31, 2006. These incremental
bilateral contracts are subject to the credit risk associated
with the ability of counterparties to meet their contractual
payment obligations to Generation. Any failure to collect these
payments from counterparties could have a material impact on
Exelons and Generations results of operations, cash
flows and financial position. When Generation sells power, as
market prices rise above contracted price levels, Generation is
required to post collateral with purchasers; as market prices
fall below contracted price levels, counterparties are required
to post collateral with Generation. To the extent Generation
does not have enough collateral to cover its risk of payment
collection, Generations revenues are at risk. With respect
to Generations sales, when market prices decrease there is
a corresponding increase in Generations revenues at risk.
138
Beginning in 2007, under the Illinois auction rules and the
supplier forward contracts that Generation entered into with
ComEd and Ameren, collateral postings will be one-sided from
Generation only. That is, if market prices fall below
ComEds or Amerens contracted price levels, ComEd or
Ameren, as the case may be, is not required to post collateral;
however, if market prices rise above contracted price levels
with ComEd or Ameren, Generation is required to post collateral.
To the extent Ameren or ComEd do not or cannot pay Generation
under the supplier forward contracts, Generation is therefore
exposed. See Note 8 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information regarding
Generations collateral policy.
Additionally, Exelon, through ComEd, has taken certain tax
positions, which have been disclosed to the IRS, to defer the
tax gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. In
November 2006, ComEd received from the IRS a notice of proposed
adjustment disallowing the deferral of gain associated with its
position that proceeds from the fossil plant sales resulted from
an involuntary conversion. This potential tax
obligation is significant and an adverse determination could
require a significant payment. See Note 10 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion regarding ComEds tax position on the 1999 sale
of its fossil generating assets.

affecting Exelons cash flows from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Changes in Exelons, Generations, ComEds and
PECOs cash flows from operations were generally consistent
with changes in respective results of operations, as adjusted by
changes in working capital in the
139
normal course of business. In addition, significant operating
cash flow impacts for the Registrants for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
Generation
|
|
|
|
|
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Generation had
accounts receivable from ComEd of $68 million under its
supplier forward agreement and $197 million under the PPA,
which expired on December 31, 2006, respectively. The
decrease was primarily due to lower revenues resulting from the
expiration of the PPA with ComEd as well as ComEd making
semi-monthly payments under its supplier forward contracts in
2007 as opposed to making monthly payments in 2006. At
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Generation had
accounts receivable from ComEd under the PPA of
$247 million and $242 million, respectively.
|
|
|
|
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Generation had
accounts receivable from PECO under the PPA of $146 million
and $153 million, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, Generation had accounts receivable from
PECO under the PPA of $170 million and $151 million,
respectively.
|
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
Generation had net disbursements of counterparty collateral of
$498 million and net collections of counterparty collateral
of $183 million, respectively. The decrease in cash flows
was primarily due to changes in collateral requirements
resulting from increased activity within exchange-based markets
for energy and fossil fuel.
|
|
|
|
In 2005, Exelon received a $102 million Federal income tax
refund for capital losses generated in 2003 related to
Generations previously owned investment in Sithe, which
were carried back to prior periods. In the first quarter of
2006, Exelon remitted a $98 million payment to the IRS in
connection with the settlement of the IRSs challenge of
the timing of the above-described deduction. This payment
included $6 million of interest, which was recognized as
interest expense in the first quarter of 2006.
|
ComEd
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of ComEds downgraded credit ratings, ComEd is
making accelerated semi-monthly payments under its supplier
forward contracts with its energy suppliers, including
Generation. Prior to the credit ratings downgrade, ComEd made
monthly payments to its energy suppliers. At June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, ComEd had accrued payments to
Generation for energy purchases of $68 million and
$197 million, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, ComEd had accrued payments to Generation
for energy purchases of $247 million and $242 million,
respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
ComEd had accrued payments to other energy suppliers of
$68 million and $10 million, respectively. At
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, ComEd had accrued
payments to other energy suppliers of $3 million and
$12 million, respectively.
|
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, ComEd had net
under-recovered energy costs of $104 million. See
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.
|
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, ComEds
revenue exceeded its cash collections from customers by
$38 million. During the six months ended June 30,
2006, ComEds cash collections exceeded its revenue to
customers by $24 million.
|
|
|
|
As part of its Rate Relief programs, ComEd has deposited
$39 million into an escrow account classified as restricted
cash. As ComEd issues credits to customers and funds various
customer programs, ComEd will request reimbursements from the
escrow account. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the
Rate Relief Programs.

Projected capital expenditures and other investments are subject
to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic
conditions and other factors.
Generation. Generations capital
expenditures for 2007 reflect additions and upgrades to existing
facilities (including material condition improvements during
nuclear refueling outages) and nuclear fuel. Exelon anticipates
that Generations capital expenditures will be funded by
internally generated funds, borrowings or capital contributions
from Exelon.
ComEd and PECO. Approximately 50% of
the projected 2007 capital expenditures at ComEd and PECO are
for continuing projects to maintain and improve the reliability
of their transmission and distribution systems. The remaining
amounts are for capital additions to support new business and
customer growth. ComEd and PECO are each continuing to evaluate
their own total capital spending requirements. ComEd and PECO
anticipate that they will fund their own capital expenditures by
internally generated funds, borrowings and the issuance of debt
or preferred securities.
Other significant investing activities of the Registrants for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
Exelon
|
|
|
|
|
Exelon contributed $49 million and $53 million to its
investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
|
Generation
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of its prior contributions to the Exelon
intercompany money pool, $13 million was returned to
Generation during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
|
141
|
|
|
|
|
On February 9, 2007, Tamuin International Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Generation, sold its 49.5% ownership
interests in TEG and TEP to a subsidiary of AES Corporation
for $95 million in cash plus certain purchase price
adjustments.
|
|
|
|
Generation and Peoples Calumet, LLC (Peoples Calumet), a
subsidiary of Peoples Energy Corporation, were joint owners of
SCEP, a 350-megawatt natural gas-fired, peaking electric power
plant located in Chicago, Illinois, which began operation in
2002. In 2002, Generation and Peoples Calumet owned 70% and 30%,
respectively, of SCEP. Generation reflected the third-party
interest in this majority-owned investment as a long-term
liability in its consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to
the joint owners agreement, Generation was obligated to purchase
Peoples Calumets 30% interest ratably over a
20-year
period. On March 31, 2006, Generation entered into an
agreement to accelerate the acquisition of Peoples
Calumets interest in SCEP. This transaction closed on
May 31, 2006. Under the agreement, Generation paid Peoples
Calumet approximately $47 million for its remaining
interest in SCEP. Generation financed this transaction using
short-term debt and available cash.
|
PECO
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of its prior contributions to the Exelon
intercompany money pool, $8 million was returned to PECO
during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Debt. On January 15, 2007, ComEd
repaid at maturity $145 million of its 7.625% notes.
On March 22, 2007, ComEd issued an additional
$300 million aggregate principal amount of the same series
as ComEds currently outstanding First Mortgage 5.90%
Bonds, Series 103, due March 15, 2036. The proceeds of
the bonds were used to refinance outstanding commercial paper
and to repay a portion of borrowings under its revolving credit
facility.
On March 19, 2007, PECO issued $175 million aggregate
principal amount of its First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds,
5.70% Series due 2037. The proceeds of the bonds were used to
supplement working capital previously financed through sales of
commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.
On March 6, 2006, ComEd issued $325 million aggregate
principal amount of its First Mortgage 5.90% Bonds,
Series 103, due March 15, 2036. The proceeds of the
bonds were used to supplement working capital, which previously
refinanced amounts that ComEd used to repay bonds and notes.
From time to time and as market conditions warrant, the
Registrants may engage in long-term debt retirements via tender
offers, open market repurchases or other viable options to
strengthen their respective balance sheets.

Exelon paid dividends of $296 million and $296 million
on March 10, 2007 and June 11, 2007, respectively, to
shareholders of record at the close of business on
February 15, 2007 and May 15, 2007, respectively. On
July 24, 2007, Exelons board of directors declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.44 per share on Exelons common
stock, which is payable on September 10, 2007 to
shareholders of record at the end of the day on August 15,
2007. Exelon paid dividends of $267 million and
$268 million on March 10, 2006 and June 12, 2006,
respectively, to shareholders of record at the close of business
on February 15, 2006 and May 15, 2006, respectively.
See Dividends section of ITEM 5 of
Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for a further discussion of Exelons dividend policy.
During 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, ComEd
did not pay any dividend. The decision by the ComEd Board of
Directors not to declare a dividend during 2006 and 2007 was the
result of several factors, including ComEds need for a
rate increase to cover existing costs and anticipated levels of
future capital expenditures as well as the continued uncertainty
related to ComEds regulatory filings as discussed in
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. ComEds Board of Directors will assess
ComEds ability to pay a dividend after 2007.
Intercompany Money Pool. Generation
repaid borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool
totaling $92 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30,
2006, ComEd repaid $140 million that it had borrowed from
the Exelon intercompany money pool. As of January 10, 2006,
ComEd suspended its participation in the money pool. During the
six months ended June 30, 2007, PECO repaid
$45 million that it had borrowed from the Exelon
intercompany money pool.
Short-Term Borrowings. During the six
months ended June 30, 2007, Exelon, Generation, ComEd and
PECO issued (repaid) $(127) million, $39 million,
$(60) million and $27 million of commercial paper,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006,
Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO issued (repaid)
$(106) million, $(2) million, $(120) million and
$7 million of commercial paper, respectively. At
June 30, 2007, ComEd had $475 million of outstanding
borrowings under its credit agreement.

Credit
Matters
Credit Facilities. Exelon, Generation
and PECO meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily
through the issuance of commercial paper and ComEd meets its
short-term liquidity requirements primarily through borrowings
from its credit facility. The Registrants may use credit
facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting
short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of
credit. At June 30, 2007, ComEd had $475 million of
outstanding borrowings under its credit agreement. See
Note 7 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information regarding the
Registrants credit facilities.
At June 30, 2007, the Registrants had the following bank
commitments and available capacity under the various credit
agreements to which they are a party and the indicated amounts
of outstanding commercial paper:

(b)
|
|
Available capacity represents the
unused bank commitments under the borrowers credit
agreements net of outstanding letters of credit and any required
reserves. The amount of commercial paper outstanding does not
reduce the available capacity under the credit agreements.
|
Interest rates on advances under the credit facilities are based
on either prime or the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR)
plus an adder based on the credit rating of the borrower as well
as the total outstanding amounts under the agreement at the time
of borrowing. In the cases of Exelon, Generation and PECO, the
maximum LIBOR adder is 65 basis points, and in the case of
ComEd, it is 200 basis points.
The average interest rates on commercial paper for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 for Exelon, Generation, ComEd
and PECO were approximately 5.34%, 5.34%, 5.58% and 5.35%,
respectively.
The credit agreements require the Registrants to maintain a
minimum cash from operations to interest expense ratio for the
twelve-month period ended on the last day of any quarter. The
ratios exclude revenues and interest expenses attributable to
securitization debt, certain changes in working capital,
distributions on preferred securities of subsidiaries and, in
the case of Exelon and Generation, interest on the debt of its
project subsidiaries. The
144

At June 30, 2007, the Registrants were in compliance with
the foregoing thresholds.
The ComEd credit agreement imposes a restriction on future
mortgage bond issuances by ComEd. It requires ComEd to maintain
at least $1.75 billion of issuance availability (ignoring
any interest coverage test) in the form of property
additions or bondable bond retirements
(previously issued, but now retired, bonds), most of which are
required to be maintained in the form of bondable bond
retirements. In general, a dollar of bonds can be issued
under ComEds Mortgage on the basis of $1.50 of
property additions, subject to an interest coverage
test, or $1 of bondable bond retirements, which may
or may not be subject to an interest coverage test. As of
June 30, 2007, ComEd was in compliance with this
requirement.
Intercompany Money Pool. To provide an
additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be
more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of
external financing, Exelon operates an intercompany money pool.
As of January 10, 2006, ComEd suspended its participation
in the money pool. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed
from the money pool by participant during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 are presented in the following table in

Security Ratings. The Registrants
access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper
market, and their respective financing costs in those markets
depend on the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing
the capital markets.
On March 9, 2007, Fitch Ratings (Fitch) downgraded the debt
ratings of ComEds senior secured debt, senior unsecured
debt and commercial paper. The ratings remain on Ratings Watch
Negative. The rating action reflects Fitchs concerns
regarding the continued legislative efforts to freeze rates and
the prospects for adequate and timely cost recovery through
future rate increases.
On March 26, 2007, Moodys Investor Service
(Moodys) downgraded ComEds senior unsecured debt and
commercial paper due to continued regulatory and political
uncertainty in Illinois. ComEds long-term debt ratings
remain under review for a possible downgrade.
On June 1, 2007, Standard & Poors
Corporation (S&P) downgraded ComEds short-term and
long-term security ratings due to the continued regulatory and
political uncertainty encountered by ComEd. ComEds ratings
remain on CreditWatch with negative implications.
Listed below are ComEds current securities ratings
resulting from the latest rating actions.

On June 12, 2007, PECOs commercial paper rating from
Fitch was changed to F2 from F1. According to Fitch, the ratings
... do not reflect any deterioration of PECOs
liquidity profile; rather, they reflect a change to
Fitchs short-term and long-term rating linkage practices.
145
The securities ratings and outlook for Exelon and Generation
have not changed from those set forth in Exelons 2006
Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
None of the Registrants borrowings are subject to default
or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities
although such a downgrading could increase fees and interest
charges under the Registrants credit agreements.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any
time by the assigning rating agency.
As part of the normal course of business, Generation routinely
enters into physical or financially settled contracts for the
purchase and sale of capacity, energy, fuels and emissions
allowances. These contracts either contain express provisions or
otherwise permit Generation and its counterparties to demand
adequate assurance of future performance when there are
reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the
contracts and applicable contracts law, if Exelon or Generation
is downgraded by a credit rating agency, especially if such
downgrade is to a level below investment grade, it is possible
that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as
a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future
performance. Depending on its net position with a counterparty,
the demand could be for the posting of collateral. In the
absence of expressly agreed to provisions that specify the
collateral that must be provided, the obligation to supply the
collateral requested will be a function of the facts and
circumstances of Exelon or Generations situation at the
time of the demand. If Exelon can reasonably claim that it is
willing and financially able to perform its obligations, it may
be possible to successfully argue that no collateral should be
posted or that only an amount equal to two or three months of
future payments should be sufficient.
Shelf
Registrations
As of June 30, 2007, Exelon, PECO and ComEd had current
shelf registration statements for the sale of $300 million,
$75 million and an unspecified amount, respectively, of
securities that were effective with the SEC. Exelon and ComEd
are well-known seasoned issuers as described by the SEC and may
file automatic shelf registration statements that are not
required to specify the amount of securities to be offered
thereon. Although Exelon is a well-known seasoned issuer, Exelon
has not filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the
SEC. The ability of Exelon, ComEd or PECO to sell securities in
the public market or to access the private placement markets
will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed
sale, including other required regulatory approvals, the current
financial condition of the company, its securities ratings and
market conditions.
Investments
in Synthetic Fuel-Producing Facilities
Exelon, through three wholly owned subsidiaries, has investments
in synthetic fuel-producing facilities. Section 45K
(formerly Section 29) of the Internal Revenue Code
provides tax credits for the sale of synthetic fuel produced
from coal. However, Section 45K contains a provision under
which credits are phased out (i.e., eliminated) in the event
crude oil prices for a year exceed certain thresholds.
The following table (in dollars) provides the estimated
phase-out range for 2007 based on the per barrel price of oil as
of June 30, 2007. The table also contains the estimated
2007 annual average New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. index
(NYMEX) prices per barrel at June 30, 2007 based on
year-to-date and futures prices.

The estimated 2007 phase-out range
as of June 30, 2007 is based upon the actual 2006 phase-out
range. The actual 2006 phase-out range was determined using the
inflation adjustment factor published by the IRS in April 2007.
The actual 2006 phase-out range was increased by 2%
(Exelons estimate of inflation) to arrive at the estimated
2007 phase-out range.
|
As of June 30, 2007, Exelon has estimated the 2007
phase-out to be 25%, which has reduced Exelons earned
after-tax credits of $139 million to $105 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. Exelon anticipates
146
generating approximately $210 million of cash over the life
of these investments, of which approximately $80 million is
expected in total for 2007 and 2008, assuming a 25% phase-out of
tax credits. This estimate may change significantly due to the
volatility of oil prices. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are
considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments
triggered by future events. The Registrants contractual
obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2007
were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of
business, from the amounts set forth in the 2006 Annual Report
on
Form 10-K
except for the following:
Exelon
|
|
|
|
|
Letters of credit increased $42 million and guarantees
increased by $209 million primarily as a result of leasing
activities, energy trading and performance guarantees.
|
|
|
|
Exelon adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. As of the
date of adoption, Exelons FIN 48 liability was
$501 million and FIN 48 net interest payable was
$130 million. As of June 30, 2007, Exelons
FIN 48 liability was $487 million and FIN 48 net
interest payable was $141 million. The FIN 48 interest
payable was calculated based on Exelons
net FIN 48 position at January 1, 2007 and
June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, Exelon was unable
to reasonably estimate the timing of FIN 48 liability and
interest payments in individual years beyond 12 months due
to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of
tax positions.
|
Generation
|
|
|
|
|
Letters of credit increased by $41 million and guarantees
increased by $176 million primarily as a result of
Generations energy trading activities and the performance
guaranty agreement entered into in connection with the sale of
TEG and TEP.
|
|
|
|
Generations total commitments for future sales of energy
to unaffiliated third-party utilities and others decreased by
approximately $760 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, reflecting increases of approximately
$819 million, $495 million and $124 million in
2008, 2009 and 2010 sales commitments, respectively, offset by
the fulfillment of approximately $2,198 million of 2007
commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
increases were primarily due to increased forward sales of
energy to counterparties other than ComEd as a result of the
expiration of the PPA with ComEd on December 31, 2006 (see
Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information), as well as increased
overall hedging activity in the normal course of business.

Generations long-term commitments for nuclear fuel as of
June 30, 2007 increased by $17 million,
$72 million, $93 million, $102 million, and
$293 million for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and beyond,
respectively, as compared to December 31, 2006.
Generations long-term commitments for coal as of
June 30, 2007 increased by $91 million,
$48 million and $2 million for 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively, as compared to December 31, 2006. Increases
in nuclear fuel and coal commitments are due to contracts
entered into in the normal course of business.

|
|
Generation adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. As of
the date of adoption, Generations FIN 48 liability
was $38 million and FIN 48 net interest receivable was
$1 million. As of June 30, 2007, Generations
FIN 48 liability was $41 million and FIN 48 net
interest receivable was $1 million. The FIN 48
interest receivable was calculated based on Generations
net FIN 48 position at January 1, 2007 and
June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, Generation was
unable to reasonably estimate the timing of FIN 48
liability payments in individual years beyond 12 months due
to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of
tax positions.

|
|
|
|
PECOs total fuel purchase obligations increased by
approximately $134 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, reflecting an increase of $18 million,
$63 million, $34 million and $19 million in 2007,
2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, primarily related to the
purchase of natural gas and related transportation services.

PECO adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. As of the
date of adoption, PECOs FIN 48 liability was
$11 million and FIN 48 net interest receivable was
$21 million. As of June 30, 2007, PECOs
FIN 48 liability was $2 million and FIN 48 net
interest receivable was $27 million. The FIN 48
interest receivable was calculated based on PECOs
net FIN 48 position at January 1, 2007 and
June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, PECO was unable to
reasonably estimate the timing of FIN 48 liability payments
in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties
in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions.

and Capital Resources
Generations business is capital intensive and requires
considerable capital resources. Generations capital
resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash
flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external
financing, including the issuance of long-term debt, commercial
paper, participation in the intercompany money pool or capital
contributions from Exelon. Generations access to external
financing at reasonable terms is dependent on its credit ratings
and general business conditions, as well as that of the utility
industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to where
Generation no longer has access to the capital markets at
reasonable terms, Generation has access to revolving credit
facilities that Generation currently utilizes to support its
commercial paper program and to issue letters of credit. See the
Credit Matters section of Liquidity and
Capital Resources for further discussion.
Capital resources are used primarily to
fund Generations capital requirements, including
construction, retirement of debt, the payment of distributions
to Exelon, contributions to Exelons pension plans and
investments in new and existing ventures. Future acquisitions
could require external financing or borrowings or capital
contributions from Exelon.

Results of Operations of this
Form 10-Q.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
ComEds business is capital intensive and requires
considerable capital resources. ComEds capital resources
are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from
operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing,
including the issuance of long-term debt, commercial paper or
credit facility borrowings. ComEds access to external
financing at reasonable terms is dependent on its credit ratings
and general business conditions, as well as that of the utility
industry in general. At June 30, 2007, ComEd has borrowed
$475 million from its secured credit facility since its
access to the commercial paper market is limited due to its
current credit ratings. See the Credit Matters
section of Liquidity and Capital Resources for
further discussion.
Capital resources are used primarily to fund ComEds
capital requirements, including construction, retirement of
debt, the payment of dividends and contributions to
Exelons pension plans. Additionally, ComEd operates in
rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new
investment recovery may be limited and where such recovery takes
place over an extended period of time. As a result of these
factors, ComEds working capital, defined as current assets
less current liabilities, is in a net deficit position. ComEd
intends to refinance maturing long-term debt and to repay a
portion of its credit facility borrowings with long-term debt.
As of June 30, 2007, ComEd has the capacity to issue up to
approximately $460 million of additional first mortgage
bonds subject to certain restrictions. To manage cash flows,
ComEd did not pay a dividend in 2006 or during the six months
ended June 30, 2007.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
the same period in 2006, ComEd experienced a decrease in
operating cash flows primarily due to a change in its payment
terms with energy suppliers resulting from downgraded credit
ratings and due to under-recovery of energy costs, which have
been recognized as a regulatory asset. Beginning in 2007, ComEd
ceased earning margin on the energy component of its deliveries
to its customers, nor is it collecting CTC revenues. While
ComEds 2007 results reflect an $83 million annual
rate increase as allowed by the ICC, this rate increase was
based generally on 2004 costs and does not include the impacts
of increased operating expenses since 2004 or additional net
capital investment since the end of 2005. ComEd anticipates
filing a new delivery service rate case during the third quarter
of 2007 based on a 2006 test year and also filed a transmission
rate case during the first quarter of 2007. On June 5,
2007, FERC issued an order for the transmission rate case
conditionally approving ComEds proposal to implement a
formula based transmission rate effective May 1, 2007,
subject to refund. The requested rate increase is designed to
reduce the regulatory lag related to recovery of these costs and
returns on ComEds investments. See Note 5 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
The Registrants are exposed to market risks associated with
adverse changes in commodity prices, counterparty credit,
interest rates, and equity prices. Exelons Risk Oversight
Committee approves risk management policies and objectives for
risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit
approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures.
The Risk Oversight Committee is chaired by the chief risk
officer and includes the chief financial officer, general
counsel, treasurer, vice president of corporate planning, vice
president of strategy, vice president of audit services and
officers representing Exelons business units. The Risk
Oversight Committee reports to the Exelon Board of Directors on
the scope of the risk management activities.
Commodity
Price Risk (Exelon, Generation and ComEd)
To the extent the amount of energy Exelon generates differs from
the amount of energy it has contracted to sell, Exelon has price
risk from commodity price movements. Commodity price risk is
associated with price movements resulting from changes in supply
and demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather, governmental
regulatory and environmental policies, and other factors. Exelon
seeks to mitigate its commodity price risk through the purchase
and sale of electric capacity, energy and fossil fuels,
including oil, gas, coal and emission allowances. Within Exelon,
Generation has the most exposure to commodity price risk. PECO
has transferred most of its commodity price risk to Generation
through a PPA that expires at the end of 2010. ComEd has
transferred most of its near term commodity price risk to
generating companies through the Illinois auction process.
Exelon
and Generation
In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered into certain derivatives
in the normal course of trading operations to economically hedge
a portion of the exposure to a phase-out of the tax credits for
the sale of synthetic fuel produced from coal. One of the
sellers of the tax credits has security interests in these
derivatives. Including the related mark-to-market gains and
losses on these derivatives, interests in synthetic
fuel-producing facilities increased Exelons net income by
$27 million and reduced Exelons net income by
$55 million during the three months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, interests in
synthetic fuel-producing facilities increased net income by
$52 million and reduced net income by $43 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Exelon anticipates that it will continue to record
income or losses related to the mark-to-market gains or losses
on its derivative instruments and changes to the tax credits
earned by Exelon during the period of production due to the
volatility of oil prices. Net income from interests in synthetic
fuel-producing facilities is reflected in Exelons
Consolidated Statements of Operations within income taxes,
operating and maintenance expense, depreciation and amortization
expense, interest expense, equity in losses of unconsolidated
affiliates and other, net. See Note 10 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information related to synthetic fuel activity.
Generation
Generations energy contracts are accounted for under
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). Economic
hedges may qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales
exemption to SFAS No. 133, which is discussed in
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates within Exelons
2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Energy contracts that do not qualify for the normal purchases
and normal sales exception are recorded as assets or liabilities
on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivatives
recorded at fair value are recognized in earnings unless
specific hedge accounting criteria are met and the derivatives
are designated as cash-flow hedges, in which case changes in
fair value are recorded in OCI, and gains and losses are
recognized in earnings when the underlying transaction occurs.
Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts that do not
meet the hedge criteria under SFAS No. 133 or are not
designated as such are recognized in current earnings.
Normal Operations and Hedging
Activities. Electricity available from
Generations owned or contracted generation supply in
excess of Generations obligations to customers, including
ComEds and PECOs retail loads, is sold into the
wholesale markets. To reduce price risk caused by market
fluctuations, Generation enters into physical contracts as well
as financial derivative contracts, including forwards, futures,
swaps, and options, with approved counterparties to hedge
anticipated exposures. The maximum length of time over which
cash flows
155
related to energy commodities are currently being hedged is
approximately three years. Generation has estimated a greater
than 90% economic hedge ratio for 2007, which includes cash flow
and other derivatives, for its energy marketing portfolio. This
economic hedge ratio represents the percentage of its forecasted
aggregate annual economic generation supply that is committed to
firm sales, including sales to ComEds and PECOs
retail load. ComEds and PECOs retail loads
assumptions are based on forecasted average demand. A portion of
Generations economic hedge may be accomplished with fuel
products based on assumed correlations between power and fuel
prices, which routinely change in the market. The economic hedge
ratio is not fixed and will vary from time to time depending
upon market conditions, demand, energy market option volatility
and actual loads. During peak periods, Generations amount
hedged declines to meet its energy and capacity commitments to
ComEd and PECO. Market price risk exposure is the risk of a
change in the value of unhedged positions. The forecasted market
price exposure for Generations economic hedge portfolio
associated with a 10% reduction in the annual average
around-the-clock market price of electricity would be a decrease
of less than $50 million in net income. This sensitivity
assumes that price changes occur evenly throughout the year and
across all markets. The sensitivity also assumes a static
portfolio. Generation expects to actively manage its portfolio
to mitigate market price exposure. Actual results could differ
depending on the specific timing of, and markets affected by,
price changes, as well as future changes in Generations
portfolio.
Proprietary Trading
Activities. Generation uses financial
contracts for proprietary trading purposes. Proprietary trading
includes all contracts entered into purely to profit from market
price changes as opposed to hedging an exposure. These
activities are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. The
proprietary trading activities, which included volumes of 4,775
GWhs and 7,769 GWhs for the three months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively, and 9,876 GWhs and 14,754 GWhs for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively
are a complement to Generations energy marketing portfolio
but represent a very small portion of Generations revenue
from energy marketing activities. For example, the limit on open
positions in electricity for any forward month represents less
than one percent of Generations owned and contracted
supply of electricity. Generation expects this level of
proprietary trading activity to continue in the future. Trading
portfolio activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007
resulted in a gain of $32 million due to a net
mark-to-market gain of $28 million and realized gain of
$4 million. Generation uses a 95% confidence interval, one
day holding period, one-tailed statistical measure in
calculating its
Value-at-Risk
(VaR). The daily VaR on proprietary trading activity averaged
$160,000 of exposure over the last 18 months. Because of
the relative size of the proprietary trading portfolio in
comparison to Generations total gross margin from
continuing operations for the six months ended June 30,
2007 of $3,306 million, Generation has not segregated
proprietary trading activity in the following tables. The
trading portfolio is subject to a risk management policy that
includes stringent risk management limits, including volume,
stop-loss and VaR limits to manage exposure to market risk.
Additionally, the Exelon risk management group and Exelons
Risk Oversight Committee monitor the financial risks of the
proprietary trading activities.
Trading and Economic Hedge Marketing
Activities. The following detailed
presentation of the trading and economic hedge marketing
activities at Generation is included to address the recommended
disclosures by the energy industrys Committee of Chief
Risk Officers (CCRO).
The following table provides detail on changes in
Generations mark-to-market net asset or liability balance
sheet position from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
It indicates the drivers behind changes in the balance sheet
amounts. This table incorporates the mark-to-market activities
that are immediately recorded in earnings as well as the
settlements from accumulated OCI to earnings and changes in fair
value for the hedging activities that are recorded in
accumulated OCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The majority of Generations contracts are
non-exchange-traded contracts valued using prices provided by
external sources, primarily price quotations available through
brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. Prices reflect
the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all
sources that Generation believes provide the most liquid market
for the commodity. The terms for which such price information is
available vary by commodity, region and product. The remainder
of the assets, which are primarily option contracts, represents
contracts for which external valuations are not available. These
contracts are valued using the Black model, an industry standard
option valuation model. The fair values in each category reflect
the level of forward prices and volatility factors as of
June 30, 2007 and may change as a result of changes in
these factors. Management uses its best estimates to determine
the fair value of commodity and derivative contracts Generation
holds and sells. These estimates consider various factors
including closing exchange and over-the-counter price
quotations, time value, volatility factors and credit exposure.
It is possible, however, that future market prices could vary
from those used in recording assets and liabilities from energy
marketing and trading activities and such variations could be
material.
The following table, which presents maturity and source of fair
value of mark-to-market energy contract net liabilities,
provides two fundamental pieces of information. First, the table
provides the source of fair value used in determining the
carrying amount of Generations total mark-to-market asset
or liability. Second, this table provides the maturity, by year,
of Generations net assets/liabilities, giving an
indication of when these mark-to-market amounts will settle and
either generate or require cash.

The table below provides details of effective cash-flow hedges
under SFAS No. 133 included in the balance sheet as of
June 30, 2007. The data in the table gives an indication of
the magnitude of SFAS No. 133 hedges Generation has in
place; however, since under SFAS No. 133 not all
hedges are recorded in OCI, the table does not provide an
all-encompassing picture of Generations hedges. The table
also includes a roll-forward of accumulated OCI related to
cash-flow hedges from January 1, 2007 to June 30,
2007, providing insight into the drivers of the changes (new
hedges entered into during the period and changes in the value
of existing hedges). Information related to energy merchant
activities is presented separately from interest-rate hedging
activities.

ComEd
ComEd has derivatives to manage its market price exposures to
certain wholesale contracts. Additionally, the supplier forward
contracts that ComEd has entered into as part of the initial
ComEd auction (see Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements) are deemed to be derivatives
that qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception
to SFAS No. 133. ComEd does not enter into derivatives
for speculative or trading purposes. As of June 30, 2007,
the fair value of the derivative wholesale contracts of
$5 million was recorded on ComEds Consolidated
Balance Sheet as a current liability.
ComEd has transferred most of its near term commodity price risk
to generating companies through the Illinois auction process.
Credit
Risk (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Generation
Generations PPA with ComEd expired at the end of 2006. In
September 2006, Generation participated in and won portions of
the ComEd and Ameren procurement auctions. Beginning in 2007 and
as a result of the auctions, Generations sales to
counterparties other than ComEd and PECO increased due to the
expiration of the PPA with ComEd on December 31, 2006.
Although the Proposed Legislation will establish a new
procurement process in place of the procurement auctions,
Generation is expected to participate in the alternative
competitive procurement process and will continue to have credit
risk in connection with contract for sale of electricity
resulting from the alternative competitive procurement process.
Generation has credit risk associated with counterparty
performance on energy contracts which includes, but is not
limited to, the risk of financial default or slow payment;
therefore, Generations credit risk profile has changed
based on the credit worthiness of the new and existing
counterparties, including ComEd and Ameren.
Generation attempts to enter into enabling agreements that allow
for payment netting with its counterparties, which reduces
Generations exposure to counterparty risk by providing for
the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against
amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each
enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and so, with
respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited to
transactions involving that specific commodity product, except
where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that
allows for cross product netting. In addition to payment netting
language in the enabling agreement, the credit department
establishes credit limits and letter of credit requirements for
each counterparty, which are defined in each contract.
Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal credit
review that considers a variety of factors, including the
results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability,
credit ratings and risk management capabilities. To the
158
extent that a counterpartys credit limit and letter of
credit thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to
post collateral with Generation as specified in each enabling
agreement. The credit department monitors current and forward
credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on
an individual and an aggregate basis.
The following tables provide information on Generations
credit exposure, net of collateral, as of June 30, 2007.
The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of
the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of
credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of
the maturity of a companys credit risk by credit rating of
the counterparties. The figures in the tables below do not
include sales to Generations affiliates or exposure
through Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and
Independent System Operators (ISOs) which are discussed below.

|
Collateral. As part of the normal
course of business, Generation routinely enters into physical or
financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of
capacity, energy, fuels and emissions allowances. These
contracts either contain express provisions or otherwise permit
Generation and its counterparties to demand adequate assurance
of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for
doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable law,
if Generation is downgraded by a credit rating agency,
especially if such downgrade is to a level below investment
grade, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely
on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate
assurance of future performance. Depending on Generations
net position with a counterparty, the demand could be for the
posting of collateral. In the absence of expressly agreed-to
provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided,
the obligation to supply the collateral requested will be a
function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the
time of the demand. If Generation can reasonably claim that it
is willing and financially able to perform its obligations, it
may be possible to successfully argue that no collateral should
be posted or that only an amount equal to two or three months of
future payments should be sufficient.
159
Generation sells output through bilateral contracts. The
bilateral contracts are subject to credit risk, which relates to
the ability of counterparties to meet their contractual payment
obligations. Any failure to collect these payments from
counterparties could have a material impact on Exelons and
Generations results of operations, cash flows and
financial position. As market prices rise above contracted price
levels, Generation is required to post collateral with
purchasers; as market prices fall below contracted price levels,
counterparties are required to post collateral with Generation.
Beginning in 2007, under the Illinois auction rules and the
supplier forward contracts that Generation entered into with
ComEd and Ameren, collateral postings will be one-sided from
Generation only. That is, if market prices fall below
ComEds or Amerens contracted price levels, neither
ComEd nor Ameren is required to post collateral; however, if
market prices rise above contracted price levels with ComEd or
Ameren, Generation may be required to post collateral. See
Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for further information on contracted clearing prices related to
the ComEd and Ameren auctions.
As of June 30, 2007, Generation had $257 million of
collateral deposit payments being held by counterparties and
Generation was holding $6 million of collateral deposits
received from counterparties.
RTOs and ISOs. Generation participates
in the following established, real-time energy markets that are
administered by: PJM, ISO-NE, New York ISO, MISO, Southwest
Power Pool, Inc. and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
In these areas, power is traded through bilateral agreements
between buyers and sellers and on the spot markets that are
operated by the RTOs or ISOs, as applicable. In areas where
there is no spot market, electricity is purchased and sold
solely through bilateral agreements. For sales into the spot
markets administered by an RTO or ISO, the RTO or ISO maintains
financial assurance policies that are established and enforced
by those administrators. The credit policies of the RTOs and
ISOs may under certain circumstances require that losses arising
from the default of one member on spot market transactions be
shared by the remaining participants. Non-performance or
non-payment by a major counterparty could result in a material
adverse impact on Generations financial condition, results
of operations or net cash flows.
Fuel Procurement. Generation procures
coal through annual, short-term and spot-market purchases and
natural gas through annual, monthly and spot-market purchases.
Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained through long-term contracts
for uranium concentrates, and long-term contracts for conversion
services, enrichment services and fuel fabrication services. The
supply markets for coal, natural gas, uranium concentrates and
certain nuclear fuel services are subject to price fluctuations
and availability restrictions. Supply market conditions may make
Generations procurement contracts subject to credit risk
related to the potential non-performance of counterparties to
deliver the contracted commodity or service at the contracted
prices. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a
material impact on Exelons and Generations results
of operations, cash flows and financial position.
ComEd
and PECO
Credit risk for ComEd and PECO is managed by credit and
collection policies which are consistent with state regulatory
requirements. ComEd and PECO are each currently obligated to
provide service to all electric customers within their
respective franchised territories. ComEd and PECO record a
provision for uncollectible accounts, based upon historical
experience and third-party studies, to provide for the potential
loss from nonpayment by these customers. ComEd will continue to
monitor the impact of the reverse-auction power prices on its
customer payment practices as it relates to its provision for
uncollectible accounts. ComEd will monitor nonpayment from
customers and will make any necessary adjustments to the
provision for uncollectible accounts. ComEd has reduced the
number of customer disconnections for nonpayment. ComEd will
monitor the impact of its disconnection practices and will make
any necessary adjustments to the provision for uncollectible
accounts. PECOs provision for uncollectible accounts will
continue to be affected by changes in prices as well as changes
in PAPUC regulations.
Under Pennsylvanias Competition Act, licensed entities,
including competitive electric generation suppliers, may act as
agents to provide a single bill and provide associated billing
and collection services to retail customers located in
PECOs retail electric service territory. Currently, there
are no third parties providing billing of PECOs charges to
customers or advanced metering; however, if this occurs, PECO
would be subject to credit risk related to the ability of the
third parties to collect such receivables from the customers.
160
Exelon
Exelons Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2007 included a $541 million net investment in direct
financing leases. The investment in direct financing leases
represents future minimum lease payments due at the end of the
thirty-year lives of the leases of $1,492 million, less
unearned income of $951 million. The future minimum lease
payments are supported by collateral and credit enhancement
measures, including letters of credit, surety bonds and credit
swaps issued by high credit quality financial institutions.
Management regularly evaluates the credit worthiness of
Exelons counterparties to these direct financing leases.
Interest-Rate
Risk (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Variable Rate Debt. The Registrants use
a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to reduce
interest-rate exposure. The Registrants may also use
interest-rate swaps when deemed appropriate to adjust exposure
based upon market conditions. Additionally, the Registrants may
use forward-starting interest-rate swaps and treasury rate locks
to lock in interest-rate levels in anticipation of future
financings. These strategies are employed to achieve a lower
cost of capital. At June 30, 2007, Exelon had
$100 million of notional amounts of fair-value hedges
outstanding. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates
associated with variable-rate debt would result in a
$1 million decrease in Exelons pre-tax earnings for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. A hypothetical 10%
increase in the interest rates associated with variable-rate
debt would result in a decrease of less than $1 million for
Generation, ComEd and PECO in pre-tax earnings for the three
months ended June 30, 2007.
Equity
Price Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation maintain trust funds, as required by the
NRC, to fund certain costs of decommissioning Generations
nuclear plants. As of June 30, 2007, Generations
decommissioning trust funds are reflected at fair value on its
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mix of securities in the trust
funds is designed to provide returns to be used to fund
decommissioning and to compensate Generation for inflationary
increases in decommissioning costs; however, the equity
securities in the trust funds are exposed to price fluctuations
in equity markets, and the value of fixed-rate, fixed-income
securities are exposed to changes in interest rates. Generation
actively monitors the investment performance of the trust funds
and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with
Generations nuclear decommissioning trust fund investment
policy. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and
decrease in equity prices would result in a $496 million
reduction in the fair value of the trust assets.
Exelon and Generation maintain trust assets associated with
defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits. See
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Welfare
Benefits in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
section within Exelons 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for information regarding the pension and other postretirement
benefit trust assets.

Controls
and Procedures
|
During the second quarter of 2007, Exelons management,
including its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, evaluated its disclosure controls and
procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing and
reporting of information in its periodic reports that it files
with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been
designed by Exelon to ensure that (a) material information
relating to Exelon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
accumulated and made known to Exelons management,
including its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, by other employees of Exelon and its
subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded,
processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable,
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and
forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not
all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more
people.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2007, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer of Exelon concluded that
Exelons disclosure controls and procedures were effective
to accomplish its objectives. Exelon continually strives to
improve its disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the
quality of its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic
systems that change as conditions warrant. However, there have
been no changes in internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the second quarter of 2007 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, Exelons internal control over financial reporting.

Controls
and Procedures
|
During the second quarter of 2007, each of Generations,
ComEds and PECOs management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated
that registrants disclosure controls and procedures
related to the recording, processing, summarizing and reporting
of information in that registrants periodic reports that
it files with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures
have been designed by Generation, ComEd and PECO to ensure that
(a) material information relating to that registrant,
including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made
known to that registrants management, including its
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by
other employees of that registrant and its subsidiaries as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded,
processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable,
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and
forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not
all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or

individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more
people.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2007, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer of Generation, ComEd and
PECO concluded that such registrants disclosure controls
and procedures were effective to accomplish its objectives.
Generation, ComEd and PECO each continually strives to improve
its disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of
its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that
change as conditions warrant. However, there have been no
changes in internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the second quarter of 2007 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each of
Generations, ComEds and PECOs internal control
over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
The Registrants are parties to various lawsuits and regulatory
proceedings in the ordinary course of their respective
businesses. For information regarding material lawsuits and
proceedings, see (a) ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings of the
Registrants 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
and (b) Notes 5 and 13 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Such descriptions are
incorporated herein by these references.
At June 30, 2007, the Registrants risk factors
changed compared to the risk factors described in Exelons
2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K as follows: (a) the two
risk factors titled ComEd may file for voluntary relief
under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
if rate rollback and freeze legislation is enacted into
law and Exelon and Generation will be negatively
affected if ComEd files for voluntary relief under the
provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
are no longer applicable as ComEd reached a Settlement with
various representatives from the State of Illinois in
July 2007 to address rate relief for Illinois electricity
customers (see Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information) and (b) the
Registrants identified the additional risk factors described
below.
Generations
financial performance may be negatively affected by liabilities
arising from its ownership and operation of nuclear
facilities.
Decommissioning. NRC regulations
require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities
demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in
certain minimum amounts at the end of the life of the facility
to decommission the facility. Generation is required to provide
to the NRC a biennial report by unit (annually for
Generations four retired units) addressing
Generations ability to meet the NRC-estimated funding
levels (NRC Funding Levels) including scheduled contributions to
and earnings on the decommissioning trust funds. As of
December 31, 2006, Generation identified trust funds for
6 units, which were being funded at a rate less than
anticipated with respect to NRC Funding Levels. In December
2006, Generation made a submission to the NRC addressing
this issue, demonstrating in accordance with NRC requirements,
that the trust funds for these 6 units indeed met NRC
Funding Levels and remain adequately funded compared to the NRC
Funding Level, when using alternate evaluation criteria allowed
by NRC regulations. During the second quarter 2007, the NRC
provided written notice that Generation has demonstrated
reasonable assurance of decommissioning funding for these
6 units and, thus, was satisfied that Generation has met
NRC Funding Levels for all of its nuclear fleet. The NRC Funding
Levels are based upon the assumption that decommissioning will
commence at the end of current licensed life.
Forecasting investment earnings and costs to decommission
nuclear generating stations requires significant judgment, and
actual results may differ significantly from current estimates.
Ultimately, if the investments held by Generations nuclear
decommissioning trusts are not sufficient to fund the
decommissioning of Generations nuclear plants, Generation
may be required to provide other means of funding its
decommissioning obligations.

In April 2004, Exelons Board
of Directors approved a discretionary share repurchase program
that allows Exelon to repurchase shares of its common stock on a
periodic basis in the open market. The share repurchase program
is intended to mitigate, in part, the dilutive effect of shares
issued under Exelons employee stock option plan and
Exelons Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The aggregate shares
of common stock repurchased pursuant to the program cannot
exceed the economic benefit received after January 1, 2004
due to stock option exercises and share purchases pursuant to
Exelons Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The economic benefit
consists of direct cash proceeds from purchases of stock and tax
benefits associated with exercises of stock options. The share
repurchase program has no specified limit and no specified
termination date.

PECO
During 2004, two elections were held at PECO, which resulted in
union representation for PECO craft and call center employees in
the Philadelphia service territory. The current affected
workgroup totals approximately 1,200 employees. PECO and
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 614
began negotiations for initial agreements in 2005 and reached
agreements in the second quarter of 2007. The agreements cover
work hours, wages, benefits and working conditions for the
represented employees. The agreements will not result in a
material financial impact to PECO.

(a) A director shall not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages (including,
without limitation, any judgment, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive damages or expense
of any nature, including, without limitation, attorneys fees and disbursements) for any action
taken, or any failure to take any action before, on or after the date of these Articles of
Incorporation, unless:
(i) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office under
Subchapter B of Chapter 17 of the Business

series of the shares of the Corporation, the bylaws and, except as
otherwise stated in this Section 507, bylaws made by the board of directors or

corporation for any purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a
shareholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section or otherwise
relating to the nomination of directors by shareholders.
(e) Election of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, directors of
the corporation shall be elected by the shareholders only at an annual meeting of shareholders,
unless such election of directors is required by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock. In
elections for directors, voting need not be by ballot, unless required by vote of the shareholders
before the voting for election of directors begins. At a meeting for the election of directors, if
the number of nominees exceeds the number of directorships to be filled, the directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast. If in an election of directors in which the number of
nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, any nominee who is not an incumbent
14
director receives a plurality of the votes cast but does not receive a majority of the votes cast,
the resignation of such nominee referred to in Section 4.03 will be automatically accepted. If the nominee
is an incumbent director who is standing for re-election and such nominee receives a plurality of the votes
cast but does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the committee of the board authorized to nominate
candidates for election to the board will make a recommendation to the board on whether to accept the
directors resignation or whether other action should be taken. The director not receiving a majority of the
votes cast will not participate in the committees recommendation or the boards decision regarding the
tendered resignation. The independent members of the board will consider the committees recommendation
and publicly disclose the boards decision and the basis for that decision within 90 days from the date of the
certification of the final election results. If less than two members of the committee are elected at a
meeting for the election of directors, the independent members of the board who were elected shall
consider and act upon the tendered resignation. For purposes of this paragraph, a majority of the votes cast
means that the number of shares voted for must exceed the number of shares voted against with respect
to that directors election.
Section 4.03 Number and Term of Office.
(a) Number. The board of directors shall consist of such number of directors as may
be determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the Whole Board.
(b) Term of Office. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of the term
for which he or she was selected and until a successor has been selected and qualified or until his
or her earlier death, resignation or removal. A decrease in the number of directors shall not have
the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.
(c) Resignation General. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to
the corporation. The resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the corporation or at
such subsequent time as shall be specified in the notice of resignation.
(d) Irrevocable Resignation. Each director who is nominated to stand for election
shall, as a condition to such nomination, tender an irrevocable resignation in advance of the
meeting for the election of directors. Such resignation will be effective if, pursuant to Section
4.02(e) of these bylaws, (a) the director does not receive a majority vote at the next meeting for
the election of directors, and (b) in the case of a nominee who is an incumbent director, the board
accepts the resignation.
(e) Annual Election of Board of Directors. The directors shall not be classified in
respect to the time for which they shall hold office. Except as otherwise provided in the express
terms of any class or series of Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors upon the
occurrence of a default in the payment of dividends or in the performance of another express
requirement of the terms of such Preferred Stock, from and after the 2008 annual meeting of the
shareholders, the directors of the
15
Corporation shall be elected at each annual meeting of the
shareholders for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of the shareholders; provided
that any director who was elected prior to the 2008 annual meeting of the shareholders for a term
that extends until after the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders shall not be required to stand for
election, and shall continue as a director until the annual meeting at which the directors term
expires.
Section 4.04 Vacancies.
(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Preferred Stock,
vacancies in the board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number
of directors, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the board though less
than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each person so selected shall be a director to
serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and until a successor has been selected and
qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
(b) Action by Resigned Directors. When one or more directors resign from the board
effective at a future date, the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned,
shall have power by the applicable vote to fill the vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when
the resignations become effective.
Section 4.05 Removal of Directors.
(a) Removal by the Shareholders. The entire board of directors or any individual
director may be removed from office by vote of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon only for
cause. In case the board or any one or more directors are so removed, new directors may be elected
at the same meeting. The repeal of a provision of the articles or bylaws prohibiting, or the
addition of a provision to the articles or bylaws permitting, the removal by the shareholders of
the board or a director without assigning any cause shall not apply to any incumbent director
during the balance of the term for which the director was elected.
(b) Removal by the Board. The board of directors may declare vacant the office of a
director who has been judicially declared of unsound mind or who has been convicted of an offense
punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year or if, within 60 days after notice of
his or her selection, the director does not accept the office either in writing or by attending a
meeting of the board of directors.

necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and except as otherwise provided

quorum is present shall be the acts of the board of directors.

meeting of the directors may be taken without a meeting if, prior or subsequent to the action, a
consent or consents thereto by all of the directors in office is filed with the secretary of the
corporation.
(c) Notation of Dissent. A director who is present at a meeting of the board of
directors, or of a committee of the board, at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall
be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent is entered in the
minutes of the meeting or unless the director files a written dissent to the action with the
secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or transmits the dissent in writing to the
secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. The right to
dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of the action. Nothing in this Section
shall bar a director from asserting that minutes of the meeting incorrectly omitted his or her
dissent if, promptly upon receipt of a copy of such minutes, the director notifies the secretary,
in writing, of the asserted omission or inaccuracy.
17

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and
Other Authorized Representatives
Section 7.01 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any claim, action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of
the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted or required by the Business Corporation
Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights
than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.03 of this Article VII with
respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any
such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.
Section 7.02 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification
conferred in Section 7.01 of this Article VII shall include the right to be paid by the corporation
the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in defending
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an advancement of expenses);
provided, however, that, if the Business Corporation Law so requires, an advancement of expenses
incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation,
service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an
undertaking (hereinafter an undertaking), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which
there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.02 or otherwise. The rights
to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of this Article VII shall be contract rights and such
rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer,
23
employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators. Any
repeal, amendment or modification hereof shall be prospective only and shall not affect any rights
or obligations then existing. Each person who shall act as an indemnitee of the corporation shall
be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon the rights provided by this Article.
Section 7.03 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.01 or
7.02 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 calendar days after a
written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an
advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 calendar days, the
indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by
the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In
(i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in
a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a
defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses
upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for
indemnification set forth in the Business Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation
(including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or shareholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is
proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the Business Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including
its board of directors, independent legal counsel or shareholders) that the indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a
defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement
of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or
otherwise shall be on the corporation.
Section 7.04 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the articles, these bylaws,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 7.05 Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability
or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
24
indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under the Business Corporation Law.
Section 7.06 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The
corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights
to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation
to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.
