COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Exelon is a utility services holding company engaged, through its principal subsidiaries, in
the generation and energy delivery businesses. The generation business consists of the electric
generating facilities, the wholesale energy marketing operations and competitive retail supply
operations of Generation. The energy delivery businesses include the purchase and regulated retail
sale of electricity and the provision of distribution and transmission services by ComEd in
northern Illinois, including the City of Chicago, and by 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.
Through its business services subsidiary, BSC, Exelon provides its subsidiaries with a variety
of support services at cost, including legal, human resources, financial, information technology
and supply management services. The costs of BSC, including support services, are directly charged
or allocated to the applicable subsidiaries using a cost-causative allocation method. Corporate
governance type costs that cannot be directly assigned are allocated based on a Modified
Massachusetts formula, which is a method that utilizes a combination of gross revenues, total
assets, and direct labor costs for the allocation base. The results of Exelons corporate
operations are presented as Other within the notes to the consolidated financial statements and
include intercompany eliminations unless otherwise disclosed.
Exelon owns 100% of all of its significant consolidated subsidiaries, either directly or
indirectly, except for Exelon SHC, LLC, of which Generation owns 99% and the remaining 1% is
indirectly owned by Exelon and is eliminated in Exelons consolidated financial statements, ComEd,
of which Exelon owns more than 99%, and PECO, of which Exelon owns 100% of the common stock but
none of PECOs preferred securities. Exelon has reflected the third-party interests in ComEd, which
totaled less than $1 million at June 30, 2010, as equity, and PECOs preferred securities as
preferred securities of subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements.
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 the results of a model that identifies Exelon or one
of its subsidiaries as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. 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 method of accounting.
Each of Generations, ComEds and PECOs consolidated financial statements includes the
accounts of their subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 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, include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a
fair presentation of its respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments
are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The December 31, 2009
Consolidated Balance Sheets were taken from audited financial statements. Certain prior year
amounts in Exelons, Generations and ComEds Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and in ComEds
and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified between line items for comparative
purposes. The reclassifications did not affect Exelons, Generations or ComEds cash flows from
operating activities or ComEds and PECOs financial position. These Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
27
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Variable Interest Entities (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Under the applicable authoritative guidance, VIEs are legal entities that possess any of the
following characteristics: an insufficient amount of equity at risk to finance their activities,
equity owners who do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity (or have
voting rights that are disproportionate to their ownership interest), or where equity holders do
not receive expected losses or returns significant to the VIE. Companies are required to
consolidate a VIE if they are its primary beneficiary.
Generation
Generations wholesale operations include the physical delivery and marketing of power
obtained through its generating capacity, and long-, intermediate- and short-term contracts.
Generation also has contracts to purchase fuel supplies for nuclear and fossil generation. These
contracts and Generations membership in Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited are discussed in
further detail in Note 18 of the 2009 Form 10-K. Generation has evaluated these contracts and
determined that either it has no variable interest in an entity or, where Generation does have a
variable interest in an entity, it is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation is
not required.
Several of Generations long-term PPAs have been determined to be operating leases that
have no residual value guarantees, bargain purchase options or other provisions that would cause
these operating leases to be variable interests and, therefore, not subject to this guidance. For
contracts where Generation has a variable interest, Generation has considered which interest holder
has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of
the VIE and thus is considered the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the entity.
The primary beneficiary must also have exposure to significant losses or the right to receive
significant benefits from the VIE. In general, the most significant activity of the VIEs is the
operation and maintenance of the facilities, which provides the operator with the power to direct
the VIEs activities. Facilities represent power plants, sources of uranium and fossil fuels, or
plants used in the uranium conversion, enrichment and fabrication process. Generation does not have
control over the operation and maintenance of the facilities considered VIEs and it does not bear
operational risk of the facilities. Furthermore, Generation has no debt or equity investments in
the entities, under the contracts Generation receives less than the majority of the output of the
remaining expected useful life of the facilities, and Generation does not provide any other
financial support through liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments other than
purchase commitments described in Note 12Commitments and Contingencies. Upon consideration of
these factors, Generation does not consider itself to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and,
accordingly, has determined that consolidation is not required.
Generation has aggregated its contracts with VIEs into two categories, energy commitments
and fuel purchase obligations, based on the similar risk characteristics and significance to
Generation. As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in
Generations Consolidated Balance Sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs are predominately
related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by Generation for the
deliveries associated with the current billing cycle under the contracts. Further, Generation has
not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance
guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts, so there is no significant
potential exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIEs.
ComEd and PECO
ComEds retail operations include the purchase of electricity and RECs through procurement
contracts of varying durations. PECOs retail operations include the purchase of electricity, AECs
and natural gas through procurement contracts of varying durations. These contracts are discussed
in further detail in Notes 2 and 18 of the 2009 Form 10-K. ComEd and PECO have evaluated these
contracts and determined that either they have no variable interest in a VIE or where ComEd or PECO
do have a variable interest in a VIE as described below, it is not the primary beneficiary and,
therefore, consolidation is not required.
28
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
For contracts where ComEd or PECO has a variable interest, ComEd or PECO has considered which
interest holder has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic
performance of the VIE. In general, the most significant activity of the VIEs is the operation and
maintenance of their production or procurement processes related to electricity, RECs, AECs or
natural gas. ComEd and PECO do not have control over the operation and maintenance of the entities
considered VIEs and they do not bear operational risk related to their activities. Furthermore,
ComEd and PECO have no debt or equity investments in the VIEs and do not provide any other
financial support through liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments other than
purchase commitments described in Note 12Commitments and Contingencies. Accordingly, ComEd and
PECO do not consider themselves to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.
As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in ComEds
and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheet that relate to their involvement with these VIEs are
predominately related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by ComEd
and PECO for the purchases associated with the current billing cycle under the contracts.
The financing trust of ComEd, ComEd Financing III, and the financing trusts of PECO, PECO
Trust III and PECO Trust IV, are not consolidated in Exelons, ComEds or PECOs financial
statements. These financing trusts were created to issue mandatorily redeemable trust preferred
securities. ComEd and PECO have concluded that they do not have a variable interest in ComEd
Financing III, PECO Trust III or PECO Trust IV as each Registrant financed its equity interest in
the financing trusts through the issuance of subordinated debt and, therefore, has no equity at
risk. ComEd and PECO, as the sponsors of the financing trusts, are obligated to pay the operating
expenses of the trusts.
PECO
PETT, a financing trust, was created by PECO to purchase and own Intangible Transition
Property (ITP) and to issue transition bonds to securitize $5 billion of PECOs stranded cost
recovery authorized by the PAPUC pursuant to the Competition Act. PECO made an initial capital
contribution of $25 million to PETT in 1998. ITP represents the irrevocable right of PECO to
collect intangible transition charges (ITC). ITC consists of the portion of CTCs that were sold by
PECO to PETT and securitized through the various issuances of PETTs transition bonds from 1999
through 2001 as authorized by the PAPUC and provides PETT with an asset sufficient to recover the
aggregate principal amount of the transition bonds issued, plus amounts sufficient to provide for
the credit enhancement, interest payments, servicing fees and other expenses relating to the
transition bonds. PECO does not provide ongoing financial support to PETT or guarantee PETTs
performance, and the transition bondholders do not have recourse to PECO. PECO has continuing
involvement in PETT in its role as the servicer of the ITC collections, for which PECO receives a
fee. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, net pre-tax losses of $5 million and $12
million, respectively, related to PETTs results of operations are reflected in PECOs Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
PETT was consolidated in Exelons and PECOs financial statements on January 1, 2010 pursuant
to authoritative guidance relating to the consolidation of VIEs that became effective at that date.
Under previously issued authoritative guidance, PETT was deconsolidated based on the prescribed
quantitative approach, based on expected losses, of identifying the primary beneficiary. PECO has
concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of PETT due to PECOs involvement in the design of
PETT and through its role as servicer of the ITC collections. Additionally, PECO has the right to
dissolve PETT and receive any of its remaining assets following retirement of the transition bonds
and payment of PETTs other expenses. The consolidation of PETT did not have a significant impact
on PECOs results of operations or statement of cash flows. PETTs assets are restricted for the
sole purpose of satisfying PETTs obligation to its transition bondholders and payment of various
administrative fees as outlined in the transition bond transaction documents. As of June 30, 2010,
PETTs restricted cash balance on PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheet was $426 million. As of June
30, 2010, PETTs long-term debt to transition bondholders on PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheet was
$404 million, all of which is classified as long-term debt due within one year. Upon retirement of
the outstanding transition bonds on September 1, 2010 and dissolution of PETT, the remaining
restricted cash balance will be remitted to PECO. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2010, PECO recognized interest expense on PETTs transition bonds of $7 million and $18 million,
respectively, which is reflected in PECOs Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 5
Debt and Credit Agreements for further information regarding PETTs debt to bondholders.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
2. New Accounting Pronouncements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
The Registrants adopted the following recently issued accounting standards:
Transfers of Financial Assets
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the accounting for transfers of
financial assets. This guidance was effective and applied prospectively for the Registrants
beginning January 1, 2010. The impact of the adoption for Exelon and PECO and relevant disclosure
is included in Note 5 Debt and Credit Agreements. The adoption of this guidance did not impact
Generations or ComEds results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to amend the manner in which entities
evaluate whether consolidation is required for VIEs. The model for determining which enterprise has
a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of a VIE has changed significantly
under the new guidance. Furthermore, this guidance requires that companies continually evaluate
VIEs for consolidation rather than assessing based upon the occurrence of triggering events. This
revised guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about how a companys involvement with a VIE
affects its financial statements and exposure to risks. This guidance became effective for the
Registrants on January 1, 2010. The impact of the adoption for Exelon and PECO and relevant
disclosure is included in Note 1 Basis of Presentation. The adoption of this guidance did not
impact Generations or ComEds results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.
Fair Value Measurements Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to improve disclosures
about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in
and out of fair value hierarchy levels and the reasons for the transfers. Additionally, the
guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of
assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value
measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable
inputs (Level 3). Currently, the Registrants mark-to-market derivative assets and liabilities and
NDT fund investments are the only fair value measurements affected by this guidance. This guidance
became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which
will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. As this guidance provides
only disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard did not impact the
Registrants results of operations, cash flows or financial positions. See Note 4 Fair
Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities for additional information.
The following recently issued accounting standard is not yet reflected in the combined consolidated
financial statements of the Registrants:
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends existing guidance for
identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables
exist, and provides guidance for allocating and recognizing revenue based on those separate
deliverables. The guidance is expected to result in more multiple-deliverable arrangements being
separable than under current guidance. This guidance is effective for the Registrants beginning on
January 1, 2011 and is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified
revenue arrangements. The Registrants are currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on
their consolidated financial statements.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
3. Regulatory Matters (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Regulatory and Legislative Proceedings (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Except for the matters noted below, the disclosures set forth in Note 2 of the 2009 Form 10-K
appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of regulatory and legislative
proceedings of the Registrants. The following is an update to that discussion.
Illinois Settlement Agreement (Exelon, Generation and ComEd). Various Illinois electric
utilities, their affiliates and generators of electricity in Illinois agreed to contribute
approximately $1 billion over a period of four years ending in 2010 to programs to provide rate
relief to Illinois electricity customers and funding for the IPA, created as a result of the
Illinois Settlement Legislation. Generation recognized net costs from its contributions pursuant
to the Illinois Settlement Legislation of $7 million and $9 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 and $30 million and $63 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, respectively, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. ComEds net costs from its
contributions pursuant to the Illinois Settlement Legislation were $0 and $1 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
As of June 30, 2010, Generations remaining costs to be recognized related to the rate relief
commitment are $12 million, consisting of $6 million related to programs for ComEd customers and $6
million for programs for customers of other Illinois utilities. ComEd has no remaining costs to be
recognized related to the rate relief commitment as of June 30, 2010.
Illinois Procurement Proceedings (Exelon and ComEd). Under the Illinois Settlement
Legislation, ComEd is permitted to recover its electricity procurement costs from retail customers
without mark-up. With the approval of the ICC, the IPA administers a competitive process under
which ComEd procures its electricity supply based on ComEds anticipated supply needs.
On April 30, 2010, the ICC approved the results of ComEds 2010 RFP process. Approximately
25% and 6% of ComEds expected energy requirements for the June 2010 through May 2011 period and
the June 2011 through May 2012 period, respectively, are being procured through the 2010 RFP
process. The remainder of ComEds expected energy requirements through May 2012 will be met
through additional block contracts resulting from previously completed and future RFP processes or
purchased through the spot market and hedged by the financial swap contract with Generation.
The Illinois Settlement Legislation requires ComEd to purchase an increasing percentage of its
electricity requirements from renewable energy resources. On May 24, 2010, the ICC approved the
results of ComEds 2010 RFP to procure RECs for the period June 2010 through May 2011. See Note 12
of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on ComEds
energy commitments.
Illinois Electric Distribution Rate Case (Exelon and ComEd). On June 30, 2010, ComEd
requested ICC approval for an increase of $396 million to its net annual revenue requirement for
electric distribution to allow ComEd to continue modernizing its electric delivery system and
recover the costs of substantial investments made since the last rate filing in 2007. The
requested increase also reflects increased costs, most notably pension and OPEB, since ComEds
rates were last determined. The requested rate of return on common equity is 11.5%. The requested
increase in electric distribution rates would increase the average residential customers monthly
electric bill by approximately 7%. In addition, ComEd is requesting future recovery of certain
amounts that were previously recorded as expense. If that request is approved, ComEd would reverse
the previously expensed costs and establish regulatory assets with amortization over the period
during which rate recovery is allowed. As a result, ComEd would recognize a one-time benefit of up
to $39 million (pre-tax) to reverse the prior charges. The requested increase also includes $22
million for increased uncollectible accounts expense. If the rate request is approved, the
threshold for determining over/under recoveries under ComEds uncollectible accounts tariff
would be increased by $22 million. The new electric distribution rates would take effect no later than June 2011. ComEd
cannot predict how much of the requested electric distribution rate increase the ICC may approve.
31
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Illinois Legislation for Recovery of Uncollectible Accounts (Exelon and ComEd). In 2009,
comprehensive legislation was enacted into law in Illinois providing public utility companies with
the ability to recover from or refund to customers the difference between the utilitys annual
uncollectible accounts expense and amounts collected in rates annually through a rider mechanism,
starting with 2008 and prospectively. On February 2, 2010, the ICC issued an order adopting
ComEds proposed tariffs filed in accordance with the legislation, with minor modifications. As a
result of the ICC order, ComEd recorded a regulatory asset of $70 million and an offsetting
reduction in operating and maintenance expense in the first quarter of 2010 for the cumulative
under-collections in 2008 and 2009. Recovery of the regulatory asset associated with 2008 and 2009
activities will take place over an approximate 14-month time frame which began in April 2010. The
recovery or refund of the difference in the uncollectible accounts expense applicable to the years
starting with January 1, 2010, will take place over a 12-month time frame beginning in June of the
following year. In addition, ComEd recorded a one-time charge of $10 million to operating and
maintenance expense in the first quarter of 2010 for a contribution to the Supplemental Low-Income
Energy Assistance Fund as required by the legislation. The fund is used to assist low-income
residential customers.
Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update (Exelon and ComEd). ComEds transmission rates are
established based on a FERC-approved formula. ComEds most recent annual formula rate update filed
in May 2010 reflects actual 2009 expenses and investments plus forecasted 2010 capital additions.
The update resulted in a revenue requirement of $430 million offset by a $14 million reduction
related to the true-up of 2009 actual costs for a net revenue requirement of $416 million. This
compares to the May 2009 updated net revenue requirement of $440 million. The decrease in the
revenue requirement was primarily driven by ComEds 2009 cost savings measures. The 2010 net
revenue requirement became effective June 1, 2010 and is recovered over the period extending
through May 31, 2011. The regulatory liability associated with the true-up is being amortized as
the associated revenues are refunded.
ComEds updated formula transmission rate currently provides for a weighted average debt and
equity return on transmission rate base of 9.27%, a decrease from the 9.43% return previously
authorized. As part of the FERC-approved settlement of ComEds 2007 transmission rate case, the
rate of return on common equity is 11.5% and the common equity component of the ratio used to
calculate the weighted average debt and equity return for the formula transmission rate is
currently capped at 56%. This equity cap will be reduced to 55% in June 2011.
Pennsylvania Electric and Natural Gas Distribution Rate Cases (Exelon and PECO). On March 31,
2010, PECO filed separate petitions before the PAPUC for increases of $316 million and $44 million
to its annual service revenue requirement for electric and natural gas delivery, respectively, to
fund critical infrastructure improvement projects to meet customer demand and ensure the safe and
reliable delivery of electricity and natural gas. The requested rate of return on common equity
under the electric and natural gas delivery rate cases is 11.75%. The requested increase in
delivery rates charged to customers for electric and natural gas as a result of the rate cases is
6.94% and 5.28%, respectively. The new electric and gas delivery rates would take effect no later
than January 1, 2011. The results of the rate cases are expected to be known in the fourth quarter
of 2010. PECO cannot predict how much of the requested increases the PAPUC may approve.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Pennsylvania Transition-Related Regulatory Matters (Exelon, Generation and PECO).
In 2009, the PAPUC entered an Order instituting an investigation into whether PECOs nuclear
decommissioning cost adjustment clause (NDCAC), which is a mechanism that allows PECO to recover
costs from customers for the decommissioning of seven former PECO nuclear units now owned by
Generation, should continue after December 31, 2010. The Pennsylvania Offices of Trial Staff,
Consumer Advocate, Small Business Advocate and a group of industrial customers (collectively,
the parties) intervened in the proceeding. During the course of the investigation, PECO and the
parties reached an agreement, as set forth in a Stipulation and Joint Memorandum filed
on February 24, 2010 (Settlement) that PECO is entitled to recover decommissioning costs
through the NDCAC beyond December 31, 2010. The Settlement also contained a provision in which it
was agreed that PECO would not claim recovery under the NDCAC for any incremental physical
decommissioning costs incurred with respect to any former PECO nuclear unit as a result of an
extension of a units NRC Operating License. On March 16, 2010, the ALJ issued a Recommended
Decision, which concluded that PECOs NDCAC should remain in effect beyond December 31, 2010, and
recommended approval of the Settlement subject to a modification. Specifically, the ALJ stated
that the provision regarding the recovery of incremental physical decommissioning costs is outside
the scope of this investigation and is more appropriately considered in the NDCAC filings that are
made every 5 years. Accordingly, the ALJ declined to approve this provision of the Settlement. On
April 8, 2010, the parties filed exceptions to the ALJs proposed modification of the Settlement. On July 15, 2010, the PAPUC granted
the parties exceptions and approved the Settlement in its entirety without the modification
recommended by the ALJ. See Note 10 Nuclear Decommissioning for additional information.
Pennsylvania Procurement Proceedings (Exelon and PECO). In 2009, the PAPUC approved PECOs
DSP Program, under which PECO will provide default electric service following the expiration of its
electric generation rate caps on December 31, 2010. Under the DSP Program, PECO is permitted to
recover its electricity procurement costs from retail customers without mark-up. The costs of the
DSP program have been recorded as a regulatory asset as shown in the Regulatory Assets and
Liabilities tables below and are recoverable through a rider mechanism over a 29-month period
beginning in January 2011. On May 27, 2010, PECO entered into contracts with PAPUC approved
bidders for its third competitive procurement of electric supply for default electric service
customers commencing January 2011. The May 2010 procurements were for default electric service to
the residential, small commercial, medium commercial and large commercial and industrial customer classes.
As of June 30, 2010, including the previous competitive procurements completed in 2009, PECO has
entered into contracts with terms of 17 to 29 months covering 72% of planned full requirements
contracts for the residential customer class and 60% of planned full requirements contracts for the small commercial customer class, contracts with
17-month terms covering 58% of planned full requirements contracts for the medium commercial
customer class and contracts with 12-month terms covering 100% of planned full requirements
contracts for the large fixed-price commercial and industrial customer class in accordance with the
DSP program. As of June 30, 2010, including the previous competitive procurements completed in
2009, PECO has entered into block contracts with terms of 2 to 60 months totaling 260 MW for
service to the residential customer class for the years 2011 through 2015 in accordance with the
DSP program. As of June 30, 2010, PECO recorded a regulatory asset to offset the mark-to-market
liability recorded for derivative block contracts as shown in the Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
tables below. See Note 6 Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on the
mark-to-market liability. PECO will conduct six additional competitive procurements over the
remainder of the term of the DSP Program, which expires May 31, 2013.
As part of the 2009 settlement of the DSP Program, PECO filed a Revised
Electric Purchase of Receivables (POR) program that required PECO to purchase the customer accounts
receivable of electric generation suppliers (EGS) that participate in the electric customer choice
program and have elected consolidated billing under the 1998 Restructuring Settlement. The Revised
Electric POR program was filed on November 20, 2009, and provided for full recovery of PECOs
system implementation costs for program administration through a temporary discount on purchased
receivables. On June 16, 2010, the PAPUC approved PECOs settlement of the electric POR program.
The approved settlement states that PECO can terminate electric service to customers beginning
January 1, 2011, based on unpaid charges for EGS service, and uncollectible account expense will be
recovered from customers through distribution rates.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Smart Meter and Smart Grid Investments (Exelon and PECO). On November 25, 2009, PECO filed a
joint petition with the PAPUC for partial settlement of its $550 million Smart Meter Procurement
and Installation Plan to install more than 1.6 million smart meters and deploy advanced
communication networks over a 15-year period. On April 22, 2010, the PAPUC approved PECOs Smart
Meter Procurement and Installation Plan that provides for recovery of program expenses, which includes
accelerated depreciation incurred on existing meters due to early deployment, over the
period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2020. PECO plans to file for PAPUC approval of an
initial dynamic pricing and customer acceptance program in September 2010 and for approval of a
universal
meter deployment plan for its remaining customers in 2012. As of June 30, 2010, PECO
recorded regulatory assets related to recoverable
program expenses including smart meter accelerated depreciation as shown in the Regulatory Assets and Liabilities table below.
On April 12, 2010, PECO entered into a Financial Assistance Agreement with the DOE for SGIG
funds under the ARRA. Under the SGIG, PECO has been awarded $200 million, the maximum grant
allowable under the program, for its SGIG project Smart Future Greater Philadelphia. As a
result of the SGIG funding, PECO will deploy 600,000 smart meters within three years, accelerate
universal deployment of more than 1.6 million smart meters from 15 years to 10 years and increase
Smart Grid investments to approximately $100 million over the next three years. The $200 million
SGIG funds will be reimbursed ratably based on projected spending of more than $400 million, which
includes approximately $7 million related to demonstration projects by two sub-recipients. The SGIG
is non-taxable based on recent IRS guidance. The DOE has a conditional ownership interest in
federally-funded project property and equipment, which is subordinate to PECOs existing mortgage.
In total, over the next 10 years, PECO is planning to spend up to a total of $650 million on its
smart grid and smart meter infrastructure. The $200 million SGIG from the DOE will be used to
significantly reduce the impact of those investments on PECO ratepayers.
Energy Efficiency Program (Exelon and PECO). Pursuant to Act 129s EE&C reduction targets,
PECO filed its EE&C plan with the PAPUC and received partial approval in 2009. On February 11,
2010, the PAPUC approved PECOs revisions to the EE&C plan. The approved plan totals more than $330
million, which is recoverable from ratepayers. As of June 30, 2010, PECO recorded a regulatory
liability for revenue billed, net of expenses incurred for the EE&C plan as shown in the Regulatory
Assets and Liabilities tables below. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, PECO
recorded recovered operating expenses and equal and offsetting operating revenues related to the
energy efficiency program as shown in the Operating and Maintenance for Regulatory Required
Programs table below.
Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards (Exelon and PECO). PECO will be required to comply
with the AEPS Act following the end of the electric generation rate cap transition period. PECO
has entered into five-year agreements with accepted bidders, including Generation, to purchase a
total of 452,000 AECs annually, in order to prepare for 2011, PECOs first year of required
compliance. In 2009, the PAPUC approved a settlement of PECOs petition for early procurement and
banking of up to 8,000 solar Tier 1 AECs annually for 10 years. On March 3, 2010, PECO announced
that it had entered into 10-year agreements to purchase 8,000 solar Tier 1 AECs annually.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities (Exelon, ComEd and PECO)
Exelon, ComEd and PECO prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the
authoritative guidance for accounting for certain types of regulation. Under this guidance,
regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because of their probable future
recovery from customers through regulated rates. Regulatory liabilities represent the excess
recovery of costs or accrued credits that have been deferred because it is probable such amounts
will be returned to customers through future regulated rates or represent billings in advance of
expenditures for approved regulatory programs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a
fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value
into three levels as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Registrants have the ability to access as of the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded
equity securities, exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds and money market funds. |
|
|
|
Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through
corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing
Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives,
commingled investment funds priced at NAV per fund share and fair value hedges. |
|
|
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models for the
asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently traded
non-exchange-based derivatives. |

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets
and liabilities shown in the tables above.
Cash Equivalents (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO). The Registrants cash equivalents
include investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The cash equivalents
shown in the fair value tables are comprised of investments in mutual and money market funds. The
fair values of the shares of these funds are based on observable market prices and, therefore, have
been categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments (Exelon and Generation). The trust fund
investments have been established to satisfy Exelons and Generations nuclear decommissioning
obligations as required by the NRC. The NDT funds hold debt and equity securities directly and indirectly through commingled
funds. Generations investment policies place limitations on the types and investment grade ratings
of the securities that may be held by the trusts. These policies restrict the trust funds from
holding alternative investments and limit the trust funds exposures to investments in highly
illiquid markets. Investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including
certain short-term fixed income securities, are considered cash equivalents and included in the
recurring fair value measurements hierarchy as Level 1 or Level 2.
With respect to individually held equity securities, the trustees obtain prices from pricing
services, whose prices are obtained from direct feeds from market exchanges, which Generation is
able to independently corroborate. The fair values of equity securities held directly by the trust
funds are based on quoted prices in active markets and are categorized in Level 1. Equity
securities held individually are primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ-Global
Select Market, which contain only actively traded securities due to the volume trading requirements
imposed by these exchanges.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
For fixed income securities, multiple prices from pricing services are obtained from pricing
vendors whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations in addition to checks for
unusual daily movements. A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue
for each security. The trustees monitor prices supplied by pricing services and may use a
supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the portfolio
managers challenge an assigned price and the trustees determine that another price source is
considered to be preferable. Generation has obtained an understanding of how these prices are
derived, including the nature and observability of the inputs used in deriving such prices.
Additionally, Generation selectively corroborates the fair values of securities by comparison to
other market-based price sources. U.S. Treasury securities are categorized as Level 1 because they
trade in a highly liquid and transparent market. The fair values of fixed income securities,
excluding U.S. Treasury securities, are based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market
information, such as actual trade information or similar securities, adjusted for observable
differences and are categorized in Level 2.
Commingled funds, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by investment companies
and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of fund objectives. The fair values of
short-term commingled funds held within the trust funds, which generally hold short-term fixed
income securities and are not subject to restrictions regarding the purchase or sale of shares, are
derived from observable prices. The objectives of the remaining commingled funds in which Exelon
and Generation invest primarily seek to track the performance of certain equity indices by
purchasing equity securities to replicate the capitalization and characteristics of the indices. In
general, equity commingled funds are redeemable on the 15th of the month and the last business day
of the month; however, the fund manager may designate any day as a valuation date for the purpose
of purchasing or redeeming units. Effective December 31, 2009, commingled funds are categorized in
Level 2 because the fair value of the funds are based on NAVs per fund share (the unit of account),
primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets on the underlying equity securities.
See Note 10 Nuclear Decommissioning for further discussion on the NDT fund investments.
Rabbi Trust Investments (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO). The Rabbi trusts were
established to hold assets related to deferred compensation plans existing for certain active and
retired members of Exelons executive management and directors. The investments in the Rabbi trusts
are included in investments in the Registrants Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of
the shares of the funds are based on observable market prices and, therefore, have been categorized
in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Mark-to-Market Derivatives (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO). Derivative contracts are
traded in both exchange-based and non-exchange-based markets. Exchange-based derivatives that are
valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are categorized in Level 1 in the fair
value hierarchy. Certain non-exchange-based derivatives are valued using indicative price
quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges and are categorized in
Level 2. These price quotations reflect the average of the bid-ask, mid-point prices and are
obtained from sources that the Registrants believe provide the most liquid market for the
commodity. The price quotations are reviewed and corroborated to ensure the prices are observable
and representative of an orderly transaction between market participants. This includes
consideration of actual transaction volumes, market delivery points, bid-ask spreads and contract
duration. The remainder of non-exchange-based derivative contracts is valued using the Black model,
an industry standard option valuation model. The Black model takes into account inputs such as
contract terms, including maturity, and market parameters, including assumptions of the future
prices of energy, interest rates, volatility, credit worthiness and credit spread. For
non-exchange-based derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and
options, model inputs are generally observable. Such instruments are categorized in Level 2. The
Registrants non-exchange-based derivatives are predominately at liquid trading points. For
non-exchange-based derivatives that trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information,
such as the financial swap contract between Generation and ComEd, model inputs generally would
include both observable and unobservable inputs. These valuations may include an estimated basis
adjustment from an illiquid trading point to a liquid trading point for which active price
quotations are available. For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if
the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation
is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations
whose contract tenure extends into unobservable periods. In instances where observable data is
unavailable, consideration
is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or
liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract
duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 as the model inputs generally are not
observable. The Registrants consider credit and nonperformance risk in the valuation of derivative
contracts categorized in Level 1, 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data in its
assessment of credit and nonperformance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and
nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements. Transfers in and out of levels
are recognized as of the beginning of the month the transfer occurred. Given derivatives
categorized within Level 1 are valued using exchange-based quoted prices within observable periods,
transfers between level 2 and level 1 generally do not occur. Transfers in and out of level 2 and
level 3 generally occur when the contract tenure becomes more observable.
50
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Exelon may utilize fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps, which are typically designated as
fair value hedges, as a means to achieve its targeted level of variable-rate debt as a percent of
total debt. In addition, the Registrants may utilize interest rate derivatives to lock in interest
rate levels in anticipation of future financings. These interest rate derivatives are typically
designated as cash flow hedges. Exelon uses a calculation of future cash inflows and estimated
future outflows related to the swap agreements, which are discounted and netted to determine the
current fair value. Additional inputs to the present value calculation include the contract terms,
counterparty credit risk and market parameters such as interest rates and volatility. As these
inputs are based on observable data and valuations of similar instruments, the interest rate swaps
are categorized in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6Derivative Financial
Instruments for further discussion on mark-to-market derivatives.
Deferred Compensation Obligations (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO). The Registrants
deferred compensation plans allow participants to defer certain cash compensation into a notional
investment account. The Registrants include such plans in other current and noncurrent liabilities
in their Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of the Registrants deferred compensation
obligations is based on the market value of the participants notional investment accounts. The
notional investments are comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market
prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations themselves are not exchanged in an
active market, they are categorized in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Servicing Liability (Exelon and PECO). PECO is party to an agreement with a financial
institution under which it transferred an undivided interest, adjusted daily, in customer accounts
receivables designated under the agreement in exchange for proceeds of $225 million, which PECO
accounted for as a sale under previous guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets. A
servicing liability was recorded for the agreement in accordance with the applicable authoritative
guidance for servicing of financial assets. The servicing liability was included in other current
liabilities in Exelons and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the liability was
determined using internal estimates based on provisions in the agreement, which were categorized as
Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The servicing liability was released in accordance
with new guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets that was adopted on January 1,
2010. See Note 5 Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information.
5. Debt and Credit Agreements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Short-Term Borrowings
Exelon meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of
commercial paper, Generation and PECO meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily
through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the intercompany money pool and ComEd
meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and
borrowings under its credit facility.
As of June 30, 2010, Exelon Corporate, Generation and PECO had access to unsecured revolving
credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $957 million, $4.8 billion and $574 million,
respectively. On March 25, 2010, ComEd replaced its $952 million credit facility with a new $1
billion unsecured revolving credit facility that extends to March 25, 2013. Borrowings under that
credit facility bear interest at a rate that floats daily based
upon a prime rate or at a rate fixed for a specified interest period based upon a LIBOR-based
rate. Adders of up to 137.5 basis points for prime-based borrowings and 237.5 basis points for
LIBOR-based borrowings are added based upon ComEds credit rating. As of June 30, 2010, ComEd did
not have any borrowings under its credit facility.
51
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Generation, ComEd and PECO had $7 million, $30 million and $30 million, respectively, of
additional credit facility agreements with minority and community banks located primarily within
ComEds and PECOs service territories, which expire on October 23, 2010. These facilities are
solely utilized to issue letters of credit. As of June 30, 2010, letters of credit issued under
these agreements totaled $5 million, $26 million and $29 million for Generation, ComEd and PECO,
respectively.
Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO had the following amounts of commercial paper and credit
facility borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Variable-rate tax-exempt bonds secured by First Mortgage Bonds, which were repurchased in May
2009 and subsequently remarketed. |
Variable Rate Debt
Under the terms of ComEds variable-rate tax-exempt debt agreements, ComEd may be required to
repurchase any outstanding debt before its stated maturity unless supported by sufficient letters
of credit. If ComEd was required to repurchase the debt, it would reassess its options to obtain
new letters of credit or remarket the bonds in a manner that does not require letter of credit
support. ComEd has classified amounts outstanding under these debt agreements based on managements
intent and ability to renew or replace the letters of credit, refinance the debt at reasonable
terms on a long-term fixed-rate basis or utilize the capacity under existing long-term credit
facilities.
Generation had letter of credit facilities that expired during the second quarter of 2010,
which were used to enhance the credit of variable-rate long-term
tax-exempt bonds totaling $212
million, with maturities ranging from 2016 2034. Generation repurchased the $212 million of
tax-exempt bonds during June 2010. Generation has the ability to remarket these bonds whenever it
determines it to be economically advantageous.
Accounts Receivable Agreement
PECO is party to an agreement with a financial institution under which it transferred an
undivided interest, adjusted daily, in its customer accounts receivable designated under the
agreement in exchange for proceeds of $225 million, which Exelon and PECO accounted for as a sale
under previous guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The accounting guidance
was amended, effective for the Registrants on January 1, 2010, and required that this transaction
be accounted for as a secured borrowing, as the transferred interest did not meet the criteria of a
participating interest as defined under the authoritative guidance. Therefore, on January 1, 2010,
the proceeds of $225 million representing the transferred interest in customer accounts receivable
previously recorded as a contra-receivable was reclassified to a short-term note payable on
Exelons and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the servicing liability of $2 million recorded under the
previous guidance was released. As of June 30, 2010, the financial institutions undivided interest in Exelons and
PECOs gross customer accounts receivable was $366 million, which is calculated under the terms of
the agreement. Upon termination or liquidation of this agreement, the financial institution
will be entitled to recover up to $225 million plus the accrued yield payable from the pool of
receivables pledged. This agreement terminates on September 16, 2010 unless extended in accordance
with its terms. As of June 30, 2010, PECO was in compliance with the requirements of the
agreement. In the event the agreement is not extended, PECO has sufficient short-term liquidity and
could seek alternate financing.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
The Registrants are exposed to certain risks related to ongoing business operations. The
primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk and interest rate
risk. To the extent the amount of energy Exelon generates differs from the amount of energy it has
contracted to sell, the Registrants are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of
electricity, fossil fuels and other commodities. The Registrants employ established policies and
procedures to manage their risks associated with market fluctuations by entering into physical
contracts as well as financial derivative contracts including swaps, futures, forwards, options and
short-term and long-term commitments to purchase and sell energy and energy-related products. The
Registrants believe these instruments, which are classified as either economic hedges or
non-derivatives, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. Exposure to interest rate
risk exists as a result of the issuance of variable and fixed-rate debt, commercial paper and lines
of credit.
Derivative accounting guidance requires that derivative instruments be recognized as either
assets or liabilities at fair value. Under these provisions, economic hedges are recognized on the
balance sheet at their fair value unless they qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales
exception. The Registrants have applied the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception to
certain derivative contracts for the forward sale of generation, power procurement agreements, and
natural gas supply agreements. For economic hedges that qualify and are designated as cash flow
hedges, the portion of the derivative gain or loss that is effective in offsetting the change in
value of the underlying exposure is deferred in accumulated OCI and later reclassified into
earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. For economic hedges that do not qualify or are not
designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in
earnings each period and are classified as other derivatives in the following tables.
Non-derivative contracts for access to additional generation and for sales to load-serving entities
are accounted for primarily under the accrual method of accounting, which is further discussed in
Note 18 of the 2009 Form 10-K. Additionally, Generation is exposed to certain market risks through
its proprietary trading activities. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to
Generations energy marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of Generations overall
energy marketing activities.
Commodity Price Risk (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Economic Hedging. The Registrants are exposed to commodity price risk primarily relating to
changes in the market price of electricity, fossil fuels, and other commodities associated with
price movements resulting from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather
conditions, governmental regulatory and environmental policies, and other factors. Within Exelon,
Generation has the most exposure to commodity price risk. Generation uses a variety of derivative
and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of its electric generation
facilities, including power sales, fuel and energy purchases, and other energy-related products
marketed and purchased. In order to manage these risks, Generation may enter into fixed-price
derivative or non-derivative contracts to hedge the variability in future cash flows from
forecasted sales of energy and purchases of fuel and energy. The objectives for entering into such
hedges include fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales at a level
that provides an acceptable return on electric generation operations, fixing the price of a portion
of anticipated fuel purchases for the operation of power plants, and fixing the price for a portion
of anticipated energy purchases to supply load-serving customers. The portion of forecasted
transactions hedged may vary based upon managements policies and hedging objectives, the market,
weather conditions, operational and other factors. Generation is also exposed to differences
between the locational settlement prices of certain economic hedges and the hedged generating
units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which include financial
transmission rights, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each period, and
auction revenue rights.

In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative
impact, respectively, on Generations owned and contracted generation positions which have not been
hedged. Generation hedges commodity risk on a ratable basis over three-year periods. As of June 30,
2010, the percentage of expected generation hedged was 96%-99%, 86%-89%, and 57%-60% for the
remainder of 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The percentage of expected generation hedged is the
amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation. Expected generation represents the
amount of energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted capacity.
Equivalent sales represent all hedging products, which include cash flow hedges, other derivatives
and certain non-derivative contracts including sales to ComEd and PECO to serve their retail load.
ComEd has locked in a fixed price for a significant portion of its commodity price risk
through the five-year financial swap contract with Generation that expires on May 31, 2013, which
is discussed in more detail below. In addition, the contracts that Generation has entered into with
ComEd and that ComEd has entered into with Generation and other suppliers as part of the ComEd
power procurement agreements, which are further discussed in Note 2 of the 2009 Form 10-K, qualify
for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. Based on the Illinois Settlement
Legislation and ICC-approved procurement methodologies permitting ComEd to recover its electricity
procurement costs from retail customers with no mark-up, ComEds price risk related to power
procurement is limited.
In order to fulfill a requirement of the Illinois Settlement Legislation, Generation and ComEd
entered into a five-year financial swap contract effective August 28, 2007. The financial swap is
designed to hedge spot market purchases, which along with ComEds remaining energy procurement
contracts, meet its load service requirements. The remaining swap contract volumes are 3,000 MW
from July 2010 through May 2013. The terms of the financial swap contract require Generation to pay
the around the clock market price for a portion of ComEds electricity supply requirement, while
ComEd pays a fixed price. The contract is to be settled net, for the difference between the fixed
and market pricing, and the financial terms only cover energy costs and do not cover capacity or
ancillary services. The financial swap contract is a derivative financial instrument that has been
designated by Generation as a cash flow hedge. Consequently, Generation records the fair value of
the swap on its balance sheet and records changes in fair value to OCI. ComEd has not elected hedge
accounting for this derivative financial instrument and records the fair value of the swap on its
balance sheet. However, since the financial swap contract was deemed prudent by the Illinois
Settlement Legislation, ComEd receives full cost recovery for the contract in rates and the change
in fair value each period is recorded by ComEd as a regulatory asset or liability. See Note 2 of
the 2009 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Illinois Settlement Legislation. In
Exelons consolidated financial statements, all financial statement effects of the financial swap
recorded by Generation and ComEd are eliminated.
PECO has transferred substantially all of its commodity price risk related to its procurement
of electric supply to Generation through a PPA that expires December 31, 2010. The PPA is not
considered a derivative under current derivative authoritative guidance. As part of the
preparation for the expiration of the PPA, PECO has entered into contracts to procure electric
supply through a competitive RFP process as outlined in its PAPUC-approved DSP Program, which is
further discussed in Note 3Regulatory Matters. Based on Pennsylvania legislation and the DSP
Program permitting PECO to recover its electric supply procurement costs from retail customers with
no mark-up, PECOs price risk related to electric supply procurement will be limited. PECO will
lock in fixed prices for a significant portion of its commodity price risk following the expiration
of the electric generation rate caps through full requirements contracts and block contracts.
PECOs full requirements fixed price contracts and block contracts qualify for the normal purchases
and normal sales scope exception. For block contracts designated as normal purchases after
inception, the mark-to-market balances previously recorded will remain unchanged on PECOs
Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized over the terms of the contracts.
PECOs natural gas procurement policy is designed to achieve a reasonable balance of long-term
and short-term gas purchases under different pricing approaches in order to achieve system supply
reliability at the least cost. PECOs reliability strategy is two-fold. First, PECO must assure
that there is sufficient transportation capacity to satisfy delivery requirements. Second, PECO
must ensure that a firm source of supply exists to utilize the capacity resources. All of PECOs
natural gas supply and management agreements that are derivatives qualify for the normal purchases
and normal sales exception. Additionally, in accordance with the 2009 PAPUC PGC settlement and to
reduce the exposure of PECO and its customers to natural gas price volatility, PECO has continued
its program to
purchase natural gas for both winter and summer supplies using a layered approach of
locking-in prices ahead of each season with long-term gas purchase agreements (those with primary
terms of at least twelve months). Under the terms of the 2009 PGC settlement, PECO is required to
lock in (i.e., economically hedge) the price of a minimum volume of its long-term gas commodity
purchases. PECOs gas-hedging program covers 22% to 29% of planned natural gas purchases in support
of projected firm sales. The hedging program for natural gas procurement has no direct impact on
PECOs financial position or results of operations as natural gas costs are fully recovered from
customers under the PGC.

Proprietary Trading. Generation also enters into certain energy-related derivatives for
proprietary trading purposes. 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 RMC. The proprietary trading activities, which included volumes of 889 GWhs
and 1,808 GWhs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2,003 GWhs and 4,334 GWhs for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, are a complement to Generations energy
marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of Generations revenue from energy marketing
activities. Neither ComEd nor PECO enter into derivatives for proprietary trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk (Exelon, Generation and ComEd)
The Registrants use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate
exposure. The Registrants may also utilize fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps, which are
typically designated as fair value hedges, as a means to manage their interest rate exposure. In
addition, the Registrants may utilize interest rate derivatives to lock in interest rate levels in
anticipation of future financings, which are typically designated as cash flow hedges. These
strategies are employed to achieve a lower cost of capital. A hypothetical 10% increase in the
interest rates associated with variable-rate debt would result in less than a $1 million decrease
in each of Exelon, Generation, and ComEds pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010.
Fair Value Hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value
hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged
item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. Exelon includes the gain
or loss on the hedged items and the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps in
interest expense as follows:

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Exelon had $100 million of notional amounts of fair
value hedges outstanding related to interest rate swaps, with fair value assets of $15 million and
$10 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there was
no impact on the results of operations as a result of ineffectiveness from fair value hedges.
Cash
Flow Hedges. In connection with an anticipated debt issuance in
the third quarter of 2010, ComEd entered into treasury rate locks in the aggregate
notional amount of $300 million in June 2010. ComEd intends to settle the treasury rate locks
during the third quarter. Once settled, ComEd will record a regulatory asset or liability and the
associated loss or gain will be amortized to income over the life of the related debt as an
increase or reduction to interest expense.
Fair Value Measurement (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Fair value accounting guidance requires the fair value of derivative instruments to be shown
in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on a gross basis, even when the derivative
instruments are subject to master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the
table below, Generations cash flow hedges, other derivatives and proprietary trading derivatives
are shown gross and the impact of the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty, as
well as netting of collateral, is aggregated in the collateral and netting column. Excluded from
the tables below are economic hedges that qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales
exception and other non-derivative contracts that are accounted for under the accrual method of
accounting.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Cash Flow Hedges (Exelon, Generation and ComEd). Economic hedges that qualify as cash flow
hedges primarily consist of forward power sales and power swaps on base load generation. At June
30, 2010, Generation had net unrealized pre-tax gains on effective cash flow hedges of $1,916
million being deferred within accumulated OCI, including approximately $1,010 million related to
the financial swap with ComEd. Amounts recorded in accumulated OCI related to changes in energy
commodity cash flow hedges are reclassified to results of operations when the forecasted purchase
or sale of the energy commodity occurs. Reclassifications from OCI are included in operating
revenues, purchased power and fuel in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of
Operations, depending on the commodities involved in the hedged transaction. Based on market prices
at June 30, 2010, approximately $941 million of these net pre-tax unrealized gains within
accumulated OCI are expected to be reclassified from accumulated OCI during the next twelve months
by Generation, including approximately $383 million related to the financial swap with ComEd.
However, the actual amount reclassified from accumulated OCI could vary due to future changes in
market prices. Generation expects the settlement of the majority of its cash flow hedges will occur
during 2010 through 2012, and the ComEd financial swap contract during 2010 through 2013.
At June 30, 2010, ComEd had $6 million of net unrealized pre-tax losses on effective cash flow
hedges which were deferred and recorded in accumulated OCI, relating to treasury rate locks.
Exelon discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is
no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, in the case of
forward-starting hedges, or when it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will
occur. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, amounts reclassified into earnings as a
result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges were immaterial.
The tables below provide the activity of accumulated OCI related to cash flow hedges for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, containing information about the changes in the
fair value of cash flow hedges and the reclassification from accumulated OCI into results of
operations. The amounts reclassified from accumulated OCI, when combined with the impacts of the
actual physical power sales, result in the ultimate recognition of net revenues at the contracted
price.

|
(c) |
|
Includes a $52 million

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, Generations cash flow hedge activity
impact to pre-tax earnings based on the reclassification adjustment from accumulated OCI to
earnings was a $349 million and $543 million pre-tax gain, respectively, and a $434 million and
$674 million pre-tax gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Given
that the cash flow hedges primarily consist of forward power sales and power swaps and do not
include gas options or sales, the ineffectiveness of Generations cash flow hedges is primarily the
result of differences between the locational settlement prices of the cash flow hedges and the
hedged generating units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which
include financial transmission rights, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each
period, and auction revenue rights. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, cash flow hedge
ineffectiveness changed by $1 million primarily due to the change in market prices during the
period, none of which was related to Generations financial swap contract with ComEd or
Generations block contracts with PECO. The change in cash flow hedge ineffectiveness for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 was not significant. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, cash flow hedge ineffectiveness changed by $3 million and $8 million, respectively, primarily
due to the change in market prices during the period, none of which was related to Generations
financial swap contract with ComEd. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash flow hedge
ineffectiveness was not significant.
Exelons energy-related cash flow hedge activity impact to pre-tax earnings based on the
reclassification adjustment from accumulated OCI to earnings was a $245 million and $383 million
pre-tax gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and a $373 million and
$587 million pre-tax gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Changes
in cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, primarily due to changes in market prices, were $1 million
pre-tax for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $3 million and $8 million pre-tax for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The change in cash flow hedge
ineffectiveness for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was not significant.
Other Derivatives (Exelon and Generation). Other derivative contracts are those that do not
qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting. These instruments represent economic hedges
that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and include financial options, futures,
swaps, and forward sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the following
net pre-tax mark-to-market gains (losses) of certain purchase and sale contracts were reported in
fuel and purchased power expense at Exelon and Generation in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income and are included in Net fair value changes related to
derivatives in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In the tables
below, Change in fair value represents the change in fair value of the derivative contracts held
at the reporting date. The Reclassification to realized at settlement represents the recognized
change in fair value that was reclassified to realized due to settlement of the derivative during
the period.

Proprietary Trading Activities (Exelon and Generation). For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, Exelon and Generation recognized the following net unrealized
mark-to-market gains (losses), net realized mark-to-market gains (losses) and total net
mark-to-market gains (losses) (before income taxes) relating to mark-to-market activity on
derivative instruments entered into for proprietary trading purposes. Gains and losses associated
with proprietary trading are reported as operating revenue in Exelons and Generations
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and are included in Net fair value
changes related to derivatives in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In the tables below, Change in fair value represents the change in fair value of the derivative
contracts held at the reporting date. The Reclassification to realized at settlement represents
the recognized change in fair value that was reclassified to realized due to settlement of the
derivative during the period.

Credit Risk (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
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 derivative
contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts at the reporting date.
For energy-related derivative instruments, Generation enters 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 allow for
cross product netting. In addition to payment netting language in the enabling agreement,
Generations credit department establishes credit limits, margining thresholds and collateral
requirements for each counterparty, which are defined in the derivative 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 margining 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.
The following tables provide information on Generations credit exposure for all derivative
instruments, normal purchase and normal sales, and applicable payables and receivables, net of
collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of June 30, 2010. 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 credit risk exposure from uranium procurement contracts or exposure through RTOs,
ISOs, NYMEX and ICE commodity exchanges, further discussed in Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk. Additionally, the figures in the tables below do not include
exposures with affiliates, including net receivables with ComEd and PECO of $44 million and $194
million, respectively.

ComEds power procurement contracts provide suppliers with a certain amount of unsecured
credit. The credit position is based on the price of energy in the spot market compared to the
benchmark prices. The benchmark prices are the future prices of energy projected through the
contract term and are set at the point of contract execution. If the price of energy in the spot
market exceeds the benchmark price, the suppliers are required to post collateral for the secured
credit portion. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents ComEds net credit exposure.
As of June 30, 2010, ComEds net credit exposure to suppliers was immaterial and either did not
exceed the allowed unsecured credit levels or did not exceed the allowed unsecured credit levels by
an amount necessary to trigger a collateral call.
64
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
ComEd is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the Illinois Settlement
Legislation as well as the ICC-approved procurement tariffs. ComEds counterparty credit risk is
mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates. See Note 2 of the
2009 Form 10-K for further information.
PECO has a PPA with Generation under which Generation has agreed to supply PECO with all of
PECOs electric supply needs through 2010 at prices that are below current market prices. The price
for this electricity is essentially equal to the energy revenues earned from customers. PECO could
be negatively affected if Generation could not perform under the PPA.
PECOs supplier master agreements that govern the terms of its DSP Program contracts, which
define a suppliers performance assurance requirements, allow a supplier to meet its credit
requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is
determined based on the suppliers lowest credit rating from S&P, Fitch or Moodys and the
suppliers tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is
the forward price of energy on the day a transaction is executed, compared to the current forward
price curve for energy. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial
market price, the supplier is required to post collateral to the extent the credit exposure is
greater than the suppliers unsecured credit limit. As of June 30, 2010, PECOs net credit exposure
to suppliers was immaterial and either did not exceed the allowed unsecured credit levels or did
not exceed the allowed unsecured credit levels by an amount necessary to trigger a collateral call.
PECO is permitted to recover its costs of procuring electric generation following the
expiration of its electric generation rate caps on December 31, 2010 through its PAPUC-approved DSP
Program. PECOs counterparty credit risk is mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy
costs through customer rates. See Note 3 Regulatory Matters for further information.
PECOs natural gas procurement plan is reviewed and approved annually on a prospective basis
by the PAPUC. PECOs counterparty credit risk under its natural gas supply and asset management
agreements is mitigated by its ability to recover its natural gas costs through the PGC, which
allows PECO to adjust rates quarterly to reflect realized natural gas prices. PECO does not obtain
collateral from suppliers under its natural gas supply and management agreements. As of June 30,
2010, PECO had credit exposure of $8 million under its natural gas supply and management
agreements.
Collateral and Contingent-Related Features (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, and PECO)
As part of the normal course of business, Generation routinely enters into physical or
financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of electric capacity, energy, fuels and
emissions allowances. Certain of Generations derivative instruments contain provisions that
require Generation to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit
support with thresholds contingent upon Generations credit rating from each of the major credit
rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by
counterparty. These credit-risk-related contingent features stipulate that if Generation were to be
downgraded or lose its investment grade credit rating (based on its senior unsecured debt rating),
it would be required to provide additional collateral. This incremental collateral requirement
allows for the offsetting of derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty,
where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master netting agreements. Generation
also enters into commodity transactions on NYMEX and ICE. The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as
the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive
collateral and margining requirements.
65
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent
features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on NYMEX
and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $945 million and $894 million as of June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Generation had the
contractual right of offset of $913 million and $778 million, respectively, related to derivative
instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under master netting agreements, resulting
in a net liability position of $32 million and $116 million, respectively. If Generation had been
downgraded to the investment grade rating of BBB- and Baa3, or lost its investment grade credit
rating, it would have been required to provide incremental collateral of approximately $57 million
or $994 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2010 and approximately $60 million or $673 million,
respectively, as of December 31, 2009 related to its financial instruments, including derivatives,
non-derivatives, normal purchase normal sales contracts and applicable payables and receivables,
net of the contractual right of offset under master netting agreements and the application of
collateral. See Note 18 of the 2009 Form 10-K for further information regarding the letters of
credit supporting the cash collateral.
Beginning in 2007, under the Illinois auction rules and the SFC that ComEd entered into with
counterparty suppliers, including Generation, collateral postings are one-sided from suppliers.
Generation entered into similar supplier forward contracts with other utilities, including PECO,
with one-sided collateral postings only from Generation. If market prices fall below the benchmark price levels in these contracts, the
utilities are not required to post collateral. However, when market prices rise above benchmark price levels, counterparty suppliers,
including Generation, are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.
Under the terms of the five-year financial swap contract between Generation and ComEd, if a party
is downgraded below investment grade by Moodys or S&P, collateral postings would be required by
that party depending on how market prices compare to the benchmark price levels. Under the terms of
the financial swap contracts, collateral postings will never exceed $200 million from either ComEd
or Generation. Beginning in June 2009, under the terms of ComEds standard block energy contracts,
collateral postings are one-sided from suppliers, including Generation, should exposures between
market prices and benchmark prices exceed established unsecured credit limits outlined in the
contracts. As of June 30, 2010, there was an immaterial amount of cash collateral and letters of
credit posted by energy suppliers to ComEd associated with energy procurement contracts. See Note 2
of the 2009 Form 10-K for further information.
There are no collateral-related provisions included in the PPA between PECO and Generation.
PECOs supplier master agreements that govern the terms of its DSP Program contracts do not contain
provisions that would require PECO to post collateral.
PECOs natural gas procurement contracts contain provisions that could require PECO to post
collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds
contingent upon PECOs credit rating from Moodys and S&P. The collateral and credit support
requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. As of June 30, 2010, PECO was not required to
post collateral for any of these agreements. If PECO lost its investment grade credit rating as of
June 30, 2010, PECO could have been required to post approximately $46 million of collateral to its
counterparties.
Exelons interest rate swaps contain provisions that, in the event of a merger, require that
Exelons debt maintain an investment grade credit rating from Moodys or S&P. If Exelons debt were
to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions, resulting in the
ability of the counterparty to terminate the agreement prior to maturity. Collateralization would
not be required under any circumstance. Termination of the agreement could result in a settlement
payment by Exelon or the counterparty on any interest rate swap in a net liability position. The
settlement amount would be equal to the fair value of the swap on the termination date. As of June
30, 2010, Exelons interest rate swap was in an asset position, with a fair value of $15 million.
Accounting for the Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (Exelon and Generation)
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $1 million and $6 million, respectively, of cash
collateral received was not offset against net derivative positions, because they were not
associated with energy-related derivatives.

7. Retirement Benefits (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Exelon sponsors defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans for essentially
all Generation, ComEd, PECO and BSC employees.
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
During the first quarter of 2010, Exelon received an updated valuation of its pension and
other postretirement benefit obligations to reflect actual census data as of January 1, 2010. This
valuation resulted in an increase to the pension obligations of $13 million and a decrease to other
postretirement obligations of $18 million. Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss
increased by approximately $18 million (after tax).
The following tables present the components of Exelons net periodic benefit costs for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The 2010 pension benefit cost is calculated
using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.50%. The 2010 other postretirement
benefit cost is calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 7.83%. A
portion of the net periodic benefit cost is capitalized within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Exelon expects to contribute approximately $954 million to the benefit plans in 2010, of which
Generation, ComEd and PECO expect to contribute $446 million, $310 million and $103 million,
respectively. These amounts include an expected incremental contribution to Exelons largest
pension plan of approximately $500 million above the expectation at December 31, 2009.
Plan Assets
Investment Strategy. On a regular basis, Exelon evaluates its investment strategy to ensure
that plan assets will be sufficient to pay plan benefits when due. As part of this ongoing
evaluation, Exelon may make changes to its targeted asset allocation and investment strategy.
In the second quarter of 2010, Exelon modified its pension investment strategy in order to
reduce the volatility of its pension assets relative to its pension liabilities. As a result of
this modification, over time, Exelon determined that it will decrease equity investments and
increase investments in fixed income securities and alternative investments in order to achieve a
balanced portfolio of risk-reducing and return-seeking assets. The overall objective is to achieve
attractive risk-adjusted returns that will balance the liquidity requirements of the plans
liabilities while striving to minimize the risk of significant losses. Over the next several years,
Exelon expects to migrate to a target asset allocation of approximately 30% public equity
investments, 50% fixed income investments and 20% alternative investments.
The change in the overall investment strategy would tend to lower the expected rate of return
on plan assets in future years as compared to the previous strategy.
Securities Lending Programs. The majority of the benefit plans participate in a securities
lending program with the trustees of the plans investment trusts. The program authorizes the
trustee of the particular trust to lend securities, which are assets of the plan, to approved
borrowers. Borrowers have the right to sell or re-pledge the loaned securities. The trustees
require borrowers, pursuant to a security lending agreement, to deliver collateral to secure each
loan. The loaned securities are required to be collateralized by cash, U.S. Government securities
or irrevocable bank letters of credit. Initial collateral levels are no less than 102% and 105% of
the market value of the borrowed securities for collateral denominated in U.S. and foreign
currency, respectively. Subsequent collateral levels, which are adjusted daily, must be maintained
at a level no less than 100% of the market value of borrowed securities. Cash collateral received
is invested in collateral funds comprised primarily of short term investment vehicles and may not
be sold or re-pledged by the trustees unless the borrower defaults. Exelons benefit plans bear the
risk of loss with respect to unfavorable changes in the fair value of the invested cash collateral.
Such losses may result from a decline in the fair value of specific investments or due to liquidity
impairments resulting from current market conditions. Exelon, the trustees and the borrowers have
the right to terminate the lending agreement at any time. In the event of termination, the
borrowers must return the loaned securities or surrender the collateral. Losses recognized by the
trust were not material during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Management continues to
monitor the performance of the invested collateral and work closely with the trustees to limit any
potential losses.
In 2008, Exelon initiated a gradual withdrawal of the trusts investments in order to
minimize potential losses due to liquidity constraints in the market. Currently, the weighted
average maturity of the securities within the collateral funds is approximately 5 months. The fair
value of securities on loan was approximately $121 million and $356 million at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. The fair value of cash and non-cash collateral received for these
loaned securities was $124 million at June 30, 2010 and $365 million at December 31, 2009. A
portion of the income generated through the investment of cash collateral is remitted to the
borrowers, and the remainder is allocated between the trusts and the trustees in their capacity as
security agents. Exelon continues to assess its participation in securities lending programs.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Health Care Reform Legislation (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
In March 2010, the Health Care Reform Acts were signed into law. A number of provisions in the
Health Care Reform Acts impact retiree health care plans provided by employers. One such provision
reduces the deductibility, for Federal income tax purposes, of retiree health care costs to the
extent an employers postretirement health care plan receives Federal subsidies that provide
retiree prescription drug benefits at least equivalent to Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Although this change does not take effect immediately, the Registrants were required to recognize
the full accounting impact in their financial statements in the period in which the legislation was
enacted. As a result, in the first quarter of 2010, Exelon recorded total after-tax charges of
approximately $65 million to income tax expense to reverse deferred tax assets previously
established. Of this total, Generation, ComEd and PECO recorded charges of $24 million, $11 million
and $9 million, respectively.
Additionally, the Health Care Reform Acts contain other provisions that will impact Exelons
obligation for retiree medical benefits. In particular, the Health Care Reform Acts include a
provision that imposes an excise tax on certain high-cost plans beginning in 2018, whereby premiums
paid over a prescribed threshold will be taxed at a 40% rate. Exelon does not currently believe
the excise tax or other provisions of the Health Care Reform Acts will materially increase its
postretirement benefit obligation. Accordingly, a re-measurement of Exelons postretirement benefit
obligation is not required at this time. However, Exelon will continue to monitor and assess the
impact of the Health Care Reform Acts, including any clarifying regulations issued to address how
the provisions are to be implemented, on its future results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
401(k) Savings Plan
The Registrants participate in a 401(k) savings plan sponsored by Exelon. The plan allows
employees to contribute a portion of their income in accordance with specified guidelines. The
Registrants match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. The following
table presents the cost of matching contributions to the savings plans for the Registrants during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

8. Corporate Restructuring and Plant Retirements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
The Registrants provide severance and health and welfare benefits to terminated employees
primarily based upon each individual employees years of service and compensation level. The
Registrants accrue amounts associated with severance benefits that are considered probable and that
can be reasonably estimated.
Corporate restructuring (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO). In June 2009, Exelon announced
a restructured senior executive team and major spending cuts, including the elimination of
approximately 500 employee positions. Exelon eliminated approximately 400 corporate support
positions, mostly located at corporate headquarters, and 100 management level positions at ComEd,
the majority of which was completed by September 30, 2009. These actions were in response to the
continuing economic challenges confronting all parts of Exelons business and industry especially
in light of the commodity-driven nature of Generations markets, necessitating continued focus on
cost management through enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Exelon recorded a pre-tax charge for estimated salary continuance and health and welfare
severance benefits of $40 million in June 2009 as a result of the planned job reductions.
Subsequent to June 2009, Exelon recorded a net pre-tax credit of approximately $6 million, which
included a $10 million reduction in estimated salary continuance and health and welfare severance
benefits, offset by $4 million of expense for contractual termination benefits. Cash payments
under the plan began in July 2009 and will continue through 2010. Substantially all cash payments
are expected to be made by the end of 2010 resulting in the completion of the corporate
restructuring plan.

Plant Retirements (Exelon and Generation). On December 2, 2009, Exelon announced its intention to
permanently retire three coal-fired generating units and one oil/gas-fired generating unit,
effective May 31, 2011. The units to be retired are Cromby Generating Station (Cromby) Unit 1 and
Unit 2 and Eddystone Generating Station (Eddystone) Unit 1 and Unit 2. These actions were in
response to the economic outlook related to the continued operation of these four units. On
February 1, 2010, Generation notified PJM that, to the extent the retirement of these units results
in reliability impacts, Generation would continue operations beyond its desired deactivation date
while construction of the necessary transmission upgrades were made, provided that Exelon receives
the required environmental permits and adequate cost-based compensation. On March 2, 2010, PJM
determined that transmission reliability upgrades will be necessary to alleviate reliability
impacts. During May 2010, PJM updated its analysis and determined that reliability upgrades will
be completed to support Generations retirement of the units on the following schedule: Cromby Unit 1 and
Eddystone Unit 1 on May 31, 2011; Cromby Unit 2 on December 31, 2011; and Eddystone Unit 2 on
December 31, 2012. These dates are dependent upon the completion of required transmission
reliability upgrades and may be subject to further change. Generation revised the depreciable
useful lives for these affected units to reflect the aforementioned anticipated deactivation dates.
On June 10, 2010, Generation filed with FERC a reliability-must-run rate schedule providing the
terms, conditions and cost-based rates under which Generation will continue to operate the units
for reliability purposes beyond their planned May 31, 2011 deactivation date. Under the
reliability-must-run rate schedule, which is subject to FERC approval, the total compensation would
be approximately $8 million and $3 million of monthly fixed-cost recovery for Generation
during the reliability-must-run period for Eddystone Unit 2 and Cromby Unit 2, respectively. Such
revenue is intended to recover total expected operating costs, plus a return on net assets, of the
two units during the reliability-must-run period. In connection with these retirements,
Exelon will eliminate approximately 280 employee positions, the majority of which are located at
the units to be retired. Total expected costs for Generation related to the announced retirements
is $37 million, which includes $15 million for estimated salary continuance and health and welfare
severance benefits, a $17 million write down of inventory and $5 million of shut down costs. Cash
payments under this plan began in January 2010 and will continue through 2013. Additionally, total
expected accelerated depreciation expense is approximately $200 million.
70
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
During 2009, Generation recorded a pre-tax charge of $24 million related to the announced
retirements, which included a $7 million charge for estimated salary continuance and health and
welfare severance benefits, and $17 million of expense for the write down of inventory recorded
within operating and maintenance expense in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Additionally, during 2009, Generation recorded $32 million of accelerated depreciation
expense within depreciation and amortization expense in Exelons and Generations Consolidated
Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, Generation recorded $20
million of accelerated depreciation expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Generation
recorded a pre-tax credit of $2 million for a reduction in estimated salary continuance and health
and welfare severance benefits, and $35 million of accelerated depreciation expense.

and Eddystone retirements from December 31, 2009 through June 30, 2010:

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO have $1.7 billion, $597 million, $467 million and $601
million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2010. Exelons, Generations,
ComEds and PECOs uncertain tax positions have not significantly changed since December 31, 2009,
except for those relating to the 1999 sale of fossil generating assets and competitive transition
charges discussed below. See Note 10 of the 2009 Form 10-K for further discussion of reasonably
possible changes that could occur in our unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
Illinois Replacement Investment Tax Credits (Exelon, Generation and ComEd)
On February 20, 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled in Exelons favor in a case
involving refund claims for Illinois investment tax credits. Responding to the Illinois Attorney
Generals petition for rehearing, on July 15, 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court modified its opinion
to indicate that it was to be applied only prospectively, beginning in 2009. In September 2009, the
Illinois Supreme Court denied Exelons Petition for Rehearing.
On December 22, 2009, Exelon filed a Petition of Writ for Certiorari with the United
States Supreme Court appealing the Illinois Supreme Courts July 15, 2009 modified opinion. As a
result of the filing of the United States Supreme Court petition, unrecognized tax benefits
continued to be reported as of December 31, 2009. On March 1, 2010, the United States Supreme
Court announced that it would not review the Illinois Supreme Courts decision. As a result of the
United States Supreme Court decision, Exelon, Generation and ComEd ceased reporting their
unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2010.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Tax Method of Accounting for Repairs (Exelon and Generation)
In 2009, Exelon received approval from the IRS to change its method of accounting for repair
costs associated with Generations power plants. The new tax method of accounting resulted in net
positive cash flow for 2009 of approximately $420 million. Although the IRS granted Exelon approval
to change its method of accounting, the approval did not affirm the methodology used to calculate
the deduction. Exelon had requested and received approval from the IRS to review its methodology
through its Pre-Filing Agreement program. However in the second quarter of 2010 Exelon was informed
that the IRS has suspended the pre-filing agreement process and instead intends to issue broad
industry guidance with respect to electric generation power plants. If that broader guidance is
issued, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase
or decrease within the next 12 months.
Nuclear Decommissioning Liabilities (Exelon and Generation)
AmerGen filed income tax refund claims taking the position that nuclear decommissioning
liabilities assumed as part of its acquisition of nuclear power plants are taken into account in
determining the tax basis in the assets it acquired. The additional basis results primarily in
reduced capital gains or increased capital losses on the sale of assets in nonqualified
decommissioning funds and increased tax depreciation and amortization deductions. The IRS disagrees
with this position and has disallowed the claims. In November of 2008, Generation received a final
determination from the Appeals division of the IRS (IRS Appeals) disallowing AmerGens refund
claims. On February 20, 2009, Generation filed a complaint in the United States Court of Federal
Claims to contest this determination. In August 2009, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed its answer denying the
allegations made by Generation in its complaint. No trial date has yet been assigned, but trial could occur sometime in 2011.
The trial judge assigned to the case has noted the availability of the courts Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR) program as an alternative to a trial, but the parties have not yet met
with the ADR judge. The ADR program is a non-binding process that utilizes a variety of techniques
such as mediation, neutral evaluation, and non-binding arbitration that allow the parties to better
understand their differences and their prospects for settlement. The DOJ presently refuses to commit to participate in ADR. As a result, it is
unclear whether ADR will occur and if so, when.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2010, Entergy Corporation concluded its trial in the
United States Tax Court of a similar dispute involving the assumption of decommissioning
liabilities in connection with the purchase of a nuclear power plant. It is possible that a
decision will be reached in this case in the next twelve months. While the decision in this case would not serve as binding precedent for AmerGens litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims, the
reasoning of the decision may cause Generation to reevaluate the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits. Due to the possibility of quicker resolution through the ADR program and the possibility
of a decision being entered in the Entergy trial, and the lesser prospect of a resolution through ADR, Generation believes that it is reasonably
possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly decrease in the next
twelve months.
Other Income Tax Matters
IRS Appeals 1999-2001 (Exelon, ComEd and PECO)
1999 Sale of Fossil Generating Assets (Exelon and ComEd). Exelon, through its ComEd
subsidiary, took two positions on its 1999 income tax return to defer approximately $2.8 billion of
tax gain on the 1999 sale of ComEds fossil generating assets. Exelon deferred approximately $1.6
billion of the gain under the involuntary conversion provisions of the IRC. Exelon believes that it
was economically compelled to dispose of ComEds fossil generating plants as a result of the
Illinois Act. The proceeds from the sale of the fossil plants were properly reinvested in
qualifying replacement property such that the gain was deferred over the lives of the replacement
property under the involuntary conversion provisions. The remaining approximately $1.2 billion of
the gain was deferred by reinvesting the proceeds from the sale in qualifying replacement property
under the like-kind exchange provisions of the IRC. The like-kind exchange replacement property
purchased by Exelon included interests in three municipal-owned electric generation facilities
which were properly leased back to the municipalities.
Exelon received the IRS audit report for 1999 through 2001, which reflected the full
disallowance of the deferral of gain associated with both the involuntary conversion position and
the like-kind exchange transaction. Specifically, the IRS has asserted that ComEd was not forced to
sell the fossil generating plants and the sales proceeds were therefore not received in connection
with an involuntary conversion of certain ComEd property rights. Accordingly, the IRS has asserted
that the gain on the sale of the assets was fully subject to tax. The IRS also asserted that the
Exelon purchase and leaseback transaction is substantially similar to a leasing transaction, known
as a SILO, which the IRS does not respect as the acquisition of an ownership interest in property.
A SILO is a listed transaction that the IRS has identified as a potentially abusive tax shelter
under guidance issued in 2005. Accordingly, the IRS has asserted that the sale of the fossil plants
followed by the purchase and leaseback of the municipal owned generation facilities does not
qualify as a like-kind exchange and the gain on the sale is fully subject to tax.
In addition to attempting to impose tax on the transactions, the IRS has asserted
penalties of approximately $196 million for a substantial understatement of tax. Because Exelon
believes it is unlikely that the penalty assertion will ultimately be sustained, Exelon and ComEd
have not recorded a liability for penalties. However, should the IRS prevail in asserting the
penalty it would result in an after-tax charge of $196 million to Exelons and ComEds results of
operations.
Competitive Transition Charges (Exelon, ComEd, and PECO). Exelon contends that the
Illinois Act and the Competition Act resulted in the taking of certain of ComEds and PECOs assets
used in their respective businesses of providing electricity services in their defined service
areas. Exelon has filed refund claims with the IRS taking the position that CTCs collected during
ComEds and PECOs transition periods represent compensation for that taking and, accordingly, are
excludible from taxable income as proceeds from an involuntary conversion. The tax basis of
property acquired with the funds provided by the CTCs is reduced such that the benefits of the
position are temporary in nature. The IRS has disallowed the refund claims for the 1999-2001 tax
years.
73
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Under the Illinois Act, ComEd was required to allow competitors the use of its distribution
system resulting in the taking of ComEds assets and lost asset value (stranded costs). As
compensation for the taking, ComEd was permitted to collect a portion of the stranded costs through
the collection of CTCs from those customers electing to purchase electricity from providers other
than ComEd. ComEd collected approximately $1.2 billion in CTCs for the years 1999-2006.
Similarly, under the Competition Act, PECO was required to allow others the use of its
distribution system resulting in the taking of PECOs assets and the stranded costs. Pennsylvania
permitted PECO to collect CTCs as compensation for its stranded costs. The PAPUC determined the
total amount of stranded costs that PECO was permitted to collect through the CTCs to be $5.3
billion. PECO has collected approximately $4.8 billion in CTCs for the period 2000 through June 30,
2010. PECO will continue billing CTCs through 2010.
In connection with Exelons discussions with the Appeals Division of the IRS (IRS
Appeals) in the second quarter of 2010, the IRS proposed a settlement offer for the like-kind
exchange transaction, involuntary conversion and CTC positions. Penalties asserted by the IRS are
not part of the offer and remain an unresolved issue subject to further discussions with IRS Appeals.
Exelon will continue to dispute the penalties and believes it is unlikely the penalties will
ultimately be sustained.
Based on the status of the settlement discussions,
Exelon has concluded that it
has sufficient new information for the involuntary conversion and CTC positions such that a change
in measurement in accordance with applicable accounting standards is required. As a result of the
required re-measurement in the second quarter of 2010, Exelon
recorded $65 million (after-tax) of
interest expense, of which $36 million (after-tax) and $22 million (after-tax) were recorded at
ComEd and PECO, respectively. ComEd also recorded a current tax expense of $70 million offset with
a tax benefit recorded at Generation of $70 million. The amount recorded at Generation reflects the
reduction of current taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities for the increase in tax basis of the related assets transferred from
ComEd in accordance with the Contribution Agreement dated January 1,
2001. Should Exelon and IRS Appeals come to an agreement under the terms of the
proposed offer and with respect to the penalties, Exelon estimates it
would make a payment of approximately $235 million in 2011 for the years for which there is a resulting
tax deficiency, of which $420 million would be paid by ComEd, $140
million would be received by PECO, and $10 million would be paid by Generation. These amounts are net
of approximately $300 million of refunds due from the settlement of the 2001 tax method of accounting change for certain overhead costs under the SSCM as
well as other agreed upon audit adjustments. Further, Exelon expects
to receive an additional tax refund of approximately $300 million
between 2011 and 2014, of which $360 million would
be received by ComEd and $40 million would be paid by Generation.
Notwithstanding the proposal from the IRS, Exelon continues to believe that it is not possible
to reach a negotiated settlement with respect to the like-kind exchange transaction. Exelon does
not believe that its like-kind exchange transaction is the same as or substantially similar to a
SILO and does not believe that the concession demanded by the IRS reflects the strength of Exelons
position. Accordingly, Exelon continues to believe it is likely that the issue will be fully
litigated. Given that Exelon has determined settlement is not a realistic outcome, it has assessed
in accordance with applicable accounting standards whether it will prevail in litigation. While
Exelon recognizes the complexity and hazards of this litigation, it believes that it is more likely
than not that it will prevail in such litigation and therefore eliminated any liability for
unrecognized tax benefits during the second quarter of 2009.
A fully successful IRS challenge to Exelons and ComEds
like-kind exchange transaction would accelerate income tax payments and increase interest expense
related to the deferred tax gain that becomes currently payable. As of June 30, 2010, Exelons
potential tax and interest that could become currently payable in the event of a successful
IRS challenge could be as much as $800 million, of which $520 million would be paid by ComEd and the remainder by Exelon.
If the IRS were to prevail in
litigation on the like-kind exchange position, Exelons results of operations could be negatively
affected due to increased interest expense, as of June 30, 2010, by as much as $210 million (after-tax), of which $160 million would be recorded at ComEd and the
remainder by Exelon. Litigation could take several years such that the estimated cash and interest impacts would likely change by a
material amount.
Based on Exelon managements expectations as to the ongoing potential of a settlement and
litigation outcome, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits related to these
issues may significantly change within the next 12 months. It is not possible at this time to predict the amount, if any, of such a change.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Securities Lending Program. Generations NDT funds participate in a securities lending
program with the trustees of the funds. The program authorizes the trustees to loan securities that
are assets of the trust funds to approved borrowers. Borrowers have the right to sell or re-pledge
the loaned securities. The trustees require borrowers, pursuant to a security lending agreement,
to deliver collateral to secure each loan. The securities are required to be collateralized by
cash, U.S. Government securities or irrevocable bank letters of credit. Initial collateral levels
are no less than 102% and 105% of the market value of the borrowed securities for collateral
denominated in U.S. and foreign currency, respectively. Subsequent collateral levels, which are
adjusted daily, must be maintained at a level no less than 100% of the market value of borrowed
securities. Cash collateral received is primarily invested in a short-term collateral fund, but may
also be invested in assets with maturities matching, or approximating, the duration of the loan of
the related securities. The cash collateral received may not be sold or re-pledged by the trustees
unless the borrower defaults. Generation bears the risk of loss with respect to its invested cash
collateral. Such losses may result from a decline in fair value of specific investments or
liquidity impairments resulting from current market conditions. Generation, the trustees and the
borrowers have the right to terminate the lending agreement at their discretion, upon which
borrowers would return securities to Generation in exchange for their cash collateral. If the
short-term collateral funds do not have adequate liquidity, Generation may incur losses upon the
withdrawal of amounts from the funds to repay the borrowers collateral. Losses recognized by
Generation, whether the result of declines in fair value or liquidity impairments, have not been
significant to date. Management continues to monitor the performance of the invested collateral and
to work closely with the trustees to limit any potential further losses.
In 2008, Generation initiated a gradual withdrawal of the trusts investments in order to
minimize potential losses due to liquidity constraints in the market. Currently, the weighted
average maturity of the securities within the collateral pools is approximately 6 months. The fair
value of securities on loan was approximately $129 million and $357 million at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. The fair value of cash and non-cash collateral received for these
loaned securities was $131 million at June 30, 2010 and $366 million at December 31, 2009.
Generation continues to assess its participation in securities lending programs.
A portion of the income generated through the investment of cash collateral is remitted to the
borrowers, and the remainder is allocated between the trust funds and the trustees in their
capacity as security agents. Securities lending income allocated to the NDT funds is included in
NDT fund earnings and classified as Other, net in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements
of Operations and was not significant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
NRC Minimum Funding Requirements. NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear
generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified
minimum amounts to decommission the facility at the end of its life. On March 10, 2010, Generation
notified the NRC that it had remediated the December 31, 2009 underfunded position of its Byron and
Braidwood NDT funds with the establishment of approximately $44 million in parent guarantees in
accordance with a plan submitted by Generation to the NRC on July 31, 2009. On May 26, 2010, the
NRC notified Generation that while the previously established parent guarantees complied with
Generations remediation plan, approximately $175 million in additional parent guarantees may be
required. Generation is currently in discussions with the NRC and expects the matter to be
resolved during the third quarter of 2010. See Note 11 of the 2009 Form 10-K for further
information on NRC minimum funding requirements.
Accounting Implications of the Regulatory Agreements with PECO and ComEd. Based on the
regulatory agreement supported by the PAPUC that dictates Generations rights and obligations
related to the shortfall or excess of trust funds necessary for decommissioning the seven former
PECO nuclear units, regardless of whether the funds held in the NDT funds exceed or fall short of
the total estimated decommissioning obligation, decommissioning-related activities are generally
offset within Exelons and Generations Consolidated Statements of Operations. The offset of
decommissioning-related activities within the Consolidated Statement of Operations results in an
equal adjustment to the noncurrent payables to affiliates at Generation and an adjustment to the
regulatory liabilities at Exelon. Likewise, PECO has recorded an equal noncurrent affiliate
receivable from Generation and a corresponding regulatory liability. Any changes to the PECO
regulatory agreements could impact Exelons and Generations ability to offset
decommissioning-related activities within the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and the impact
to Exelons and Generations results of operations and financial position could be material. See
Note 3Regulatory Issues for information regarding the approved Settlement permitting the NDCAC to
continue after the termination of PECOs CTC collections on December 31, 2010. The Settlement will
not result in a material impact to Exelon or Generations future results of operations, cash flows
or financial position.

11. Earnings Per Share and Equity (Exelon)
Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares to be issued upon exercise of stock
options, performance share awards and restricted stock outstanding under Exelons long-term
incentive plans considered to be common stock equivalents. The following table sets forth the
components of basic and diluted earnings per share and shows the effect of these stock options,
performance share awards and restricted stock on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

The number of stock options not included in the calculation of diluted common shares
outstanding due to their antidilutive effect was approximately 9 million and 6 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and 6 million and 5 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
Under share repurchase programs, 35 million shares of common stock are held as treasury
stock with a cost of $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2010. In 2008, Exelon management decided to defer
indefinitely any share repurchases.
12. Commitments and Contingencies (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
For information regarding capital commitments at December 31, 2009, see Note 18 of the 2009
Form 10-K. All significant changes in Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs commitments from
December 31, 2009, and all significant contingencies, are disclosed below.
Energy Commitments
Generations, ComEds and PECOs short and long-term commitments relating to the sale and
purchase of energy, capacity and transmission rights as of June 30, 2010 changed from December 31,
2009 as follows:
|
|
|
Generations total commitments for future sales of energy to third parties increased by
approximately $27 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increases
of approximately $428 million, $123 million and $40 million related to 2011, 2012 and 2013
sales commitments, respectively, offset by the fulfillment of approximately $564 million of
2010 commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases were primarily
due to increased overall hedging activity in the normal course of business. See Note 6 -
Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding Generations hedging
program. |

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
|
|
|
Generations total commitments for future net purchases of capacity from third parties
decreased by $76 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increases of
approximately $4 million, $4 million, $5 million, $7 million and $58 million related to
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and beyond net purchase commitments, respectively, due to overall
hedging activity in the normal course of business. A decrease of approximately $154
million was due to the fulfillment of 2010 commitments during the six months ended
June 30, 2010. See Note 6 Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information
regarding Generations hedging program. |
|
|
|
On December 17, 2009, Generation entered into a PPA with Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) to
sell 150 MW through April 30, 2011 and 300 MW thereafter of capacity and energy from the
Frontier Generating Station located in Grimes County, Texas. The approximate ten-year PPA
is not included within net capacity payment commitments because it is contingent upon ETI
waiving or obtaining regulatory approvals, which has not yet occurred. |
|
|
|
In April 2010, the ICC approved procurement contracts that enable ComEd to meet a
portion of its customers electricity requirements for the period from June 2010 through
May 2012. These contracts resulted in an increase in ComEds energy commitments of $195
million for the remainder of 2010, $206 million for 2011 and $15 million for 2012. See
Note 3 Regulatory Matters for additional information. |
|
|
|
In May 2010, ComEd entered into contracts for the procurement of RECs totaling
approximately $10 million. Through June 30, 2010, $1 million had been purchased, with $9
million to be purchased by May 31, 2011. See Note 3 Regulatory Matters for additional
information. |
|
|
|
On May 27, 2010, PECO
entered into procurement contracts in order to meet a
portion of its customers electric supply requirements for 2011 through 2015 which
increased PECOs total purchase commitments by $1,346 million, $248 million, $56 million,
$25 million and $25 million in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and
2015, respectively. See Note 3
Regulatory Matters for additional information. |
|
|
|
PECOs AEC purchase commitments increased $21 million during the six months ended June
30, 2010 as a result of the solar AEC purchase agreements executed in March 2010 resulting
in approximately $2 million annually over 11 years. See Note 3 Regulatory Matters for
additional information. |
Fuel and Natural Gas Purchase Obligations
Generations and PECOs fuel purchase obligations as of June 30, 2010 changed from December
31, 2009 as follows:
|
|
|
Generations total fuel purchase obligations for nuclear and fossil generation decreased
by approximately $658 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a
decrease of $604 million, primarily due to the fulfillment of
fuel procurement contracts.
|
|
|
|
PECOs total natural gas purchase obligations increased by approximately $52 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increases of $23 million and $29
million for the remainder of 2010 and 2011, respectively, primarily related to increased
natural gas purchase commitments made in accordance with PECOs PAPUC-approved procurement
schedule. |

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Commercial and Construction Commitments
Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs commercial and construction commitments as of June
30, 2010, representing commitments potentially triggered by future events changed from December 31,
2009 as follows:
|
|
|
Exelons letters of credit increased $3 million due to activity at Generation, ComEd and
PECO as discussed below. Guarantees decreased by $37 million predominantly as a result of
decreases in Generations guarantees as noted below, net of approximately $44 million in
parent guarantees issued by Exelon as part of the remediation of the December 31, 2009
underfunded position of Generations Byron and Braidwood NDT funds. Guarantees decreased
by $125 million for 2010, increased by $56 million for 2011 through 2012, decreased by $15
million for 2013 through 2014 and increased by $48 million for 2015 and beyond. |
|
|
|
Generations letters of credit increased by $63 million and guarantees decreased by $70
million primarily as a result of energy trading activities. |
|
|
|
ComEds letters of credit to PJM decreased by $55 million. ComEd replaced the letters
of credit with $120 million of cash collateral due to favorable carrying costs for cash. |
|
|
|
ComEds PJM RTEP baseline project commitments decreased by $7 million for 2010 and
increased by $5 million and $4 million for 2011 and 2012, respectively, driven by changes
in estimated timing and amount of project spending. |
|
|
|
PECOs outstanding letters of credit decreased by $8 million primarily due to the
cancellation of a letter of credit associated with a tax credit purchase transaction that
was completed in March 2010. |
|
|
|
PECOs PJM RTEP baseline project commitments increased by $11 million, $11 million, $8
million and $9 million for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 driven by changes in estimated timing
and amount of project spending. |
Other Purchase Obligations
Exelons, ComEds and PECOs other purchase obligations as of June 30, 2010, which primarily
represent commitments for services, materials and information, changed from December 31, 2009 as
follows:
|
|
|
Exelons other purchase obligations decreased by $23 million for 2010 and increased by
$51 million for 2011 through 2012 and $32 million for 2013 through 2014. |
|
|
|
ComEds other purchase obligations increased by $12 million for 2010, $5 million for
2011 through 2012 and $6 million for 2013 through 2014. |
|
|
|
PECOs other purchase obligations decreased by $31 million for 2010 and increased by $15
million for 2011 through 2012 and $4 million for 2013 through 2014. |
Indemnifications Related to 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. As of June 30,
2010, Exelons accrued liabilities related to these indemnifications and guarantees were $5
million. The estimated maximum possible exposure to Exelon related to the guarantees provided as
part of the sales transaction to Dynegy was approximately $200 million at June 30, 2010.

Indemnifications Related to 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 guarantee 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 guarantee that is not
otherwise subject to a dispute resolution process. Generations maximum obligation under the
guarantee is $95 million as of June 30, 2010. The primary
remaining exposures covered by this guarantee will
expire in 2012.
Environmental Liabilities
General (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
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 MGP activities have or may have resulted in actual site contamination.
For almost all of these sites, ComEd or PECO is one of several PRPs which may be responsible for
ultimate remediation of each location. Of the 42 sites identified by ComEd, the Illinois EPA or
U.S. EPA have approved the clean up of 11 sites and of the 27 sites identified by PECO, the PA DEP
has approved the cleanup of 16 sites. Of the remaining sites identified by ComEd and PECO, 24 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 2021, 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.
Pursuant to orders from the ICC and PAPUC, respectively, ComEd and PECO are authorized to and
are currently recovering environmental costs for the remediation of former MGP facility sites from
customers, for which they have recorded regulatory assets. See Note 3 Regulatory Matters for
additional information.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO had accrued the

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
The Registrants cannot predict the extent to which they will incur other significant
liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites
identified by environmental agencies or others, or whether such costs may be recoverable from third
parties, including customers.
Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act. In July 2004, the U.S. EPA issued the final Phase II
rule implementing Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, which required that the cooling water
intake structures at electric power plants reflect the best technology available to minimize
adverse environmental impacts. The Phase II 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 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,
Oyster Creek, Peach Bottom, Quad Cities, Salem and Schuylkill. Since promulgation of the rule,
Generation has been evaluating compliance options at its affected plants and meeting interim
compliance deadlines.
In a 2007 decision, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the Phase II rule
back to the U.S. EPA for revisions. By its action, the court invalidated compliance measures which
were supported by the utility industry because they were cost-effective and provided existing
plants with needed flexibility in selecting the compliance option appropriate to its location and
operations. On July 9, 2007, the U.S. EPA formally suspended the Phase II rule.
In April 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the decision of the U.S. Second Circuit Court
of Appeals that had invalidated the use of a cost-benefit analysis under Section 316(b). The U.S.
EPA is considering the rule on remand and will take further action consistent with
the opinions of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, including whether to exercise its
discretion to retain or modify the cost-benefit rule as it appeared in the initial regulation. It
is expected that the U.S. EPA will issue a proposed rule on remand in 2010. Until then, 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. The
Courts opinions have created significant uncertainty about the specific nature, scope and timing
of the final compliance requirements.
In a draft permit issued on July 19, 2005, as part of the pending NPDES permit renewal process
for Oyster Creek, the NJDEP preliminarily determined that closed-cycle cooling and environmental
restoration are the only viable compliance options for Section 316(b) compliance at Oyster Creek.
In light of the U.S. EPAs suspension of the Phase II rule, on January 7, 2010, the NJDEP issued a
draft NPDES permit for Oyster Creek that would require, in the exercise of its best professional
judgment, the installation of cooling towers as the best technology available within seven years
after the effective date of the permit. Oyster Creek will continue to operate under its current
permit, issued in 1994, until the draft permit is finalized.
Generation believes the regulatory process could take up to two years
before a final permit is issued. Should the permit be issued in its current form, Generation
estimates it would be required to have cooling towers in operation by 2019.
Generation estimates that the cost to retrofit Oyster Creek with closed cycle cooling towers
would be approximately $700 million to $800 million. This cost estimate includes construction
materials and labor, lost capacity and energy revenue during construction, and other ongoing
incremental operating and maintenance costs. Generation believes that these additional costs would
call into question the economic viability of operating Oyster Creek until the expiration of its
current operating license in 2029, and Generation would close Oyster Creek if either the final
Section 316(b) regulations or NJDEP requirements have performance standards that require the
installation of cooling towers. Closure of Oyster Creek could result in reliability issues
associated with the transmission system. Generation believes the period allowed for compliance will
be sufficient to address any transmission reliability issues before operations at Oyster Creek are
shut down. If PJM requires the plant to operate under a reliability-must-run order, Generation
would be allowed full recovery of its costs to operate until the transmission issues are resolved.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
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. NJDEP advised PSEG in July 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, is the best 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. If the final permit or Section 316(b)
regulations 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.
Generation
is contesting the requirement to install cooling towers at Oyster
Creek through the
administrative appeal process and is optimistic that any final regulations or permits will not
require closed-cycle cooling at Oyster Creek or Salem. In addition, the economic viability of
Generations other power generation facilities without closed-cycle cooling water systems will be
called into question by any requirement to construct cooling towers. Given the uncertainties
associated with these proceedings and the time required for their resolution, Generation cannot
predict the eventual outcome of the proceedings or estimate the effect that compliance with any
resulting Section 316(b) or interim state requirements will have on the operation of its generating
facilities and its future results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Nuclear Generating Station Groundwater. In 2005 and 2006, the Illinois EPA issued NOVs to
Generation alleging violations of state groundwater standards at the Braidwood, Dresden and Byron
generating stations related to tritium leaks at the plants. Tritium is a weak radioactive isotope
of hydrogen that is produced and released at all nuclear sites and also is released naturally
through the interaction of sunlight and water molecules. In addition, the Illinois Attorney General
and the States Attorney for the counties in which the plants are located filed civil enforcement
lawsuits against Generation. On March 11, 2010, Generation agreed to a settlement of all pending
actions related to the leaks. Under the terms of the settlement, Generation paid approximately $1.2
million in civil penalties and funds for supplemental environmental projects in the communities
where the plants are located.
As
part of normal operations, Generation and the operators of
Generations co-owned facilities perform ongoing environmental
monitoring at all nuclear generating stations. In 2009 and 2010,
tritium was detected at the Oyster Creek, LaSalle and Salem
generating stations. Plans have been implemented to ensure that
tritium detected at the sites does not pose a threat to site employees,
the public or the environment. No NOVs have been issued in connection
with any of these matters. At this time Exelon cannot estimate the
costs of possible remediation efforts for these matters.
Cotter Corporation. The U.S. 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
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. On May 29, 2008, the U.S. EPA issued a Record of Decision approving the
remediation option submitted by Cotter and the two other PRPs that required additional landfill
cover. The current estimated cost of the anticipated landfill cover remediation for the site is $37
million, which will be allocated among all PRPs. Generation has accrued what it believes to be an
adequate amount to cover its anticipated share of such liability. By letter dated January 11, 2010,
the U.S. EPA requested that the PRPs perform a supplemental feasibility study for a remediation
alternative that would involve excavation of the radiological contamination. An excavation remedy
would be significantly more expensive than the previously selected additional cover remedy.
Generation cannot determine at this time whether the alternative remedy will be required, and if it
is, Generations share of the cost for such alternative remedy.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Air. On July 11, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C.
Circuit Court) vacated the CAIR, which had been promulgated by the U.S. EPA to reduce power plant
emissions of SO2 and NOx. The D.C. Circuit Court later remanded the CAIR to
the U.S. EPA, without invalidating the entire rulemaking, so that the U.S. EPA could remedy CAIRs
flaws in accordance with the D.C. Circuit Courts
July 11, 2008 opinion. This decision allows
the CAIR to remain in effect until it is replaced by a rule consistent with the July 11 opinion.
On July 6, 2010, the U.S. EPA published the proposed CATR as the replacement to the CAIR. The
first phase of the NOx and SO2 emissions reductions under CATR will commence
in 2012, with further reductions of SO2 emissions proposed to become effective in 2014.
These emissions limits will be further reduced as the U.S. EPA finalizes more restrictive NAAQS for
ozone and fine particulate matter in the 2010 2011 timeframe.
As of June 30, 2010, Generation had $71 million of emission allowances carried in inventory at
the lower of weighted average cost or market. This amount includes SO2 allowances
allocated under the Title IV Acid Rain Program (ARP), of which approximately $58 million represents
allowances that are not expected to be used by Generations fossil-fuel power plants and that have
not been sold. Generation is evaluating the impact the proposed CATR regulations may have on the
market value of its ARP
SO2
allowances. The proposed CATR regulations would restrict entirely the
use of ARP
SO2
allowances. If implemented as proposed, and based on
initial allowance market prices after the publication of CATR, the adoption of the CATR provisions
could significantly reduce the market value of these allowances as
they would only be available for use under the Title IV ARP program. To the extent the weighted average
cost of the ARP SO2 allowances held exceeds the market value in future periods, an
impairment of some or all of the $58 million may be necessary.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2010, Exelon has a $615 million net investment in long-term
direct financing leases of coal-fired plants in Georgia and Texas extending through 2028-2032.
While Exelon currently estimates the value of these plants at the end of the lease term, before
taking into account impacts of the proposed CATR regulations, will be substantially in excess of
the recorded residual lease values, Exelon is unable to determine the ultimate impact the proposed
regulations may have on the end-of-lease term values of these assets.
In
March 2005, the U.S. EPA finalized the CAMR, which was a national program to cap mercury
emissions from fossil-fired generating units starting in 2010, with a second reduction in the
mercury emission cap level scheduled for 2018. The D.C. Circuit Court later vacated the CAMR on
the basis that the U.S. EPA had failed to properly de-list mercury as a HAP under Section 112(c)(1)
of the Clean Air Act. The result of this decision is that mercury emissions from electric
generating stations are subject to the more stringent requirements of maximum achievable control
technology applicable to hazardous air pollutants. On February 23, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court
declined to review the D.C. Circuit Courts CAMR decision. The U.S. EPA is now expected to propose
a new rulemaking, likely in 2011, to address HAP emissions from electric generation power plants.
The nature and extent of future regulatory controls on HAP emissions at electric generation power
plants will not be determined until the Federal regulations are finalized by the U.S. EPA.
The U.S. EPA has announced that it will complete a review of the national ambient air quality
standards by the end of 2011 for ozone (nitrogen oxide and volatile organic chemicals), particulate
matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead. This review could result in
more stringent emissions limits on fossil-fired electric generating stations.
Notices and Finding of Violations Related to Electric Generation Stations. On August 6,
2007, ComEd received an NOV, addressed to it and Midwest Generation, LLC (Midwest Generation) from
the U.S. EPA, alleging that ComEd and Midwest Generation have violated and are continuing to
violate several provisions of the Clean Air Act as a result of the modification and/or operation of
six electric generation stations located in northern Illinois that have been owned and operated by
Midwest Generation since 1999. The U.S. EPA requested information related to the stations in 2003,
and ComEd has been cooperating with the U.S. EPA since then. The NOV states that the U.S. EPA may
issue an order requiring compliance with the relevant Clean Air Act provisions and may seek
injunctive relief and/or civil penalties, all pursuant to the U.S. EPAs enforcement authority
under the Clean Air Act.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
The generating stations that are the subject of the NOV are currently owned and operated
by Midwest Generation, which purchased the stations in December 1999 from ComEd. Under the terms of
the sale agreement, Midwest Generation and its affiliate, Edison Mission Energy (EME), assumed
responsibility for environmental liabilities associated with the ownership, occupancy, use and
operation of the stations, including responsibility for compliance of the stations with
environmental laws before the purchase of the stations by Midwest Generation. Midwest Generation
and EME additionally agreed to indemnify and hold ComEd and its affiliates harmless from claims,
fines, penalties, liabilities and expenses arising from third party claims against ComEd resulting
from or arising out of the environmental liabilities assumed by Midwest Generation and EME under
the terms of the agreement governing the sale.
In August 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Illinois Attorney General filed a
complaint against Midwest Generation with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois initiating enforcement proceedings with respect to the alleged Clean Air Act violations
set forth in the NOV. Neither ComEd nor Exelon were named as a defendant in this original
complaint. In March 2010, the District Court granted Midwest Generations partial motion
to dismiss all but one of the claims against Midwest Generation. The court held that Midwest
Generation cannot be liable for any alleged violations relating to construction that occurred prior
to Midwest Generations ownership of the stations. In May 2010, the government plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint substantially similar to the original complaint, and added ComEd and EME as
defendants. The amended complaint seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties against all
defendants, although not all of the claims specifically pertain to ComEd.
In connection with Exelons 2001 corporate restructuring, Generation assumed ComEds rights
and obligations with respect to its former generation business. Exelon, Generation and ComEd are
unable to predict the ultimate resolution of the claims alleged in the amended complaint, the costs
that might be incurred or the amount of indemnity that may be available from Midwest Generation and
EME; however, Exelon, Generation and ComEd have concluded that, while a loss may be reasonably
possible, they believe the likelihood of loss is not probable. Therefore, no reserve has been
established. Further, Generation believes that it would be reimbursed for any losses under the
terms of the indemnification agreement, subject to the credit worthiness of Midwest Generation and
EME. Exelon, Generation and ComEd cannot predict an estimated amount or range of possible loss.
On January 14, 2009, Generation received an NOV addressed to it, the other owners of Keystone
Generating Station (Keystone) and Reliant Energy Northeast Management Company (the operator of
Keystone) from the U.S. EPA, alleging past and continuing violations of several provisions of the
Clean Air Act as a result of the modification and/or operation of Keystone, as well as two other
stations currently owned and operated by Reliant Energy in which Generation has no ownership
interest. Generation has been cooperating with the U.S. EPA since the time of requests for
information in 2000, 2001 and 2007. The NOV states that the U.S. EPA may issue an order requiring
compliance with the relevant Clean Air Act provisions and may seek injunctive relief and/or civil
penalties, all pursuant to the U.S. EPAs enforcement authority under the Clean Air Act. At this
time, Exelon and Generation are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of the claims alleged in
the NOV or the costs that might be incurred by Generation; however, Exelon and Generation have
concluded that a loss is not probable or estimable and, accordingly, have not recorded a reserve
for the NOV.
On April 16, 2009, the U.S. EPA issued an NOV to ComEd and Dominion Resources Services, Inc.
(Dominion) alleging past and continuing violations of several provisions of the Clean Air Act as a
result of the modification and/or operation of Kincaid electric generating station located in
Illinois and State Line electric generating station located in Indiana. Kincaid was sold by ComEd
in 1998, and State Line was sold by Commonwealth Edison of Indiana, a wholly owned subsidiary of
ComEd, in 1997. Both stations are currently owned and operated by Dominion. The U.S. EPA requested
information related to the stations in 2009, and ComEd has been cooperating with the U.S. EPA since
the time of that request. The NOV states that the U.S. EPA may issue an order requiring compliance
with the relevant Clean Air Act provisions and may seek injunctive relief and/or civil penalties,
all pursuant to the U.S. EPAs enforcement authority under the Clean Air Act.
Under the terms of the sales agreements for the Kincaid and State Line stations, each party
agreed to indemnify the other for certain environmental activities, events, conditions or
occurrences arising before and after the purchase of the stations; however, Exelon, Generation, and
ComEd are unable at this time to determine how those provisions may apply to any liability or cost
that may eventually arise out of the NOV or any resulting enforcement action.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
In connection with Exelons 2001 corporate restructuring, Generation assumed ComEds rights
and obligations related to ComEds former generation business, which would include any
responsibility under the indemnification provisions contained in the sale agreements related to
Kincaid and State Line stations. At this time, Exelon, Generation and ComEd are unable to predict
the ultimate resolution of the claims alleged in the NOV or the costs that might be incurred by
Generation or ComEd; however, Exelon, Generation and ComEd have concluded that a loss is not
probable and, accordingly, have not recorded a reserve for the NOV.
Climate Change Regulation. Exelon is subject to climate change regulation or legislation at
the international, Federal, regional and state levels.
International Climate Change Regulation. At the international level, the United States is
currently not a party to the Kyoto Protocol, which is a protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and became effective for signatories on February 16, 2005.
The United Nations Kyoto Protocol process generally requires developed countries to cap GHG
emissions at certain levels during the 2008-2012 time period. At the conclusion of the December
2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia, the Bali Action Plan was adopted,
which identifies a work group, process and timeline for the consideration of possible post-2012
international actions to further address climate change. In December 2009, the United States
agreed to the non-binding Copenhagen Accord at the conclusion of the 15th Conference of the Parties
under the UNFCCC. Under the Copenhagen Accord, the United States agreed to undertake a number of
voluntary measures, including the establishment of a goal to reduce GHG emissions and contributions
toward a fund to assist developing nations to address their GHG emissions. The next Conference of
the Parties is scheduled for Mexico in late 2010.
Federal Climate Change Legislation and Regulation. Various stakeholders, including Exelon,
legislators and regulators, shareholders and non-governmental organizations, as well as other
companies in many business sectors are considering ways to address the climate change issue.
Mandatory programs to reduce GHG emissions are likely to evolve in the future. If these programs
become effective, Exelon may incur costs either to further limit or offset the GHG emissions from
its operations or procure emission allowances or credits.
Numerous bills have been introduced in Congress that address climate change from different
perspectives, including direct regulation of GHG emissions and the establishment of Federal
Renewable Portfolio Standards. Exelon supports the enactment, through Federal legislation, of a
cap-and-trade program for GHG emissions that is mandatory, economy-wide and designed in a way to
limit potential harm to the economy and protect consumers. Exelon believes that any mechanism for
allocation of GHG emission allowances should include significant free grants of allowances to
electric (and potentially gas) distribution companies to help offset the cost impact of GHG
regulation to the end-use consumer. Over the last few years, Exelon has worked with other
businesses and environmental organizations that participate in the United States Climate Action
Partnership to support the development of an integrated package of recommendations for the Federal
government to address the climate change issue through Federal legislation, including aggressive
emission reduction targets for total U.S. emissions and robust cost containment measures to ensure
that program costs are reasonable.
Federal climate change legislation is currently under consideration in the U.S. Congress. H.R.
2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which Exelon supported, was approved by
the U.S. House of Representatives on June 26, 2009 and would affect electric generation and
electric and natural gas distribution companies. A key provision of H.R. 2454 is the establishment
of mandatory, economy-wide GHG reduction targets and goals via a Federal emissions cap-and-trade
program. The program would begin in 2012 and calls for a 3% reduction below 2005 levels in 2012,
with the reduction requirement increasing to 17% below 2005 levels by 2020 and ultimately 83% below
2005 levels by 2050. The legislation also contains several energy efficiency and clean energy
requirements. Of particular note for electric retail supply companies, there is a proposed
requirement that 20% of electricity sold by retail suppliers be met by energy efficiency and
renewable energy by 2020. The requirement begins to phase-in starting in 2012 at a 6% level and
escalates every two years until it reaches 20% in 2020. On September 30, 2009, S. 1733, the Clean
Energy Jobs and American Power Act, was introduced in the U.S. Senate. S.1733 sets forth a
cap-and-trade program and contains other provisions to regulate GHGs that are similar to those
contained in H.R. 2454, but does not yet provide the specific details regarding the allocation of
allowances. It is uncertain when the Senate will take up
consideration of S. 1733, or an alternative bill.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that GHG emissions are pollutants subject to regulation
under the new motor vehicle provisions of the Clean Air Act. In response to the decision, on July
11, 2008, the U.S. EPA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to solicit public comments
on legal and regulatory analyses and policy
alternatives regarding GHG effects and regulation under the Clean Air Act. On December 7,
2009, the U.S. EPA issued an endangerment finding under Section 202 of the Clean Air Act regarding
GHGs from new motor vehicles and on April 1, 2010 issued final regulations limiting GHG emissions
from cars and light trucks effective on January 2, 2011. While such regulations do not specifically
address stationary sources, such as a generating plant, it is the U.S. EPAs position that the
regulation of GHGs under the mobile source provisions of the Clean Air Act will trigger permitting
requirements under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V operating permit
sections of the Clean Air Act for new and modified stationary sources effective January 2, 2011. Therefore,
on May 13, 2010, the U.S. EPA issued final regulations relating to these provisions of the Clean Air Act for
major stationary sources of GHG emissions that apply to new sources that emit greater than 100,000
tons per year, on a
CO2
equivalent basis, and to modifications to existing sources that result in emissions increases
greater than 75,000 tons per year on a
CO2
equivalent basis. These thresholds are effective January 2, 2011, apply for
six years and will be reviewed by the U.S. EPA for future applicability thereafter. Under the
regulations, new and modified major stationary sources could be required to install best available
control technology, to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
The issue of GHG regulation of stationary sources will likely be addressed either under the
existing provisions of the Clean Air Act by U.S. EPA regulation, or by new and comprehensive
Federal legislation. The Obama administration and the U.S. EPA have stated a preference for
addressing the issue through Federal legislation. The extent to which GHG emissions will be
regulated is currently unknown; however, potential regulation of GHG emissions from stationary
sources could cause Exelon to incur material costs of compliance.
Regional and State Climate Change Legislation and Regulation. At a regional level, on
November 15, 2007, six Midwest state Governors (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin) signed the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Accord. Under that Accord, an inter-state work
group was formed to establish a Midwestern GHG Reduction Program that will: (1) establish GHG
reduction targets and timeframes consistent with member state targets; (2) develop a market-based
and multi-sector cap-and-trade program to help achieve GHG reductions; and (3) develop other
mechanisms and policies to assist in meeting GHG reduction targets (e.g. a low carbon fuel
standard). In May 2010, an advisory group appointed by the Governors
issued recommendations, which are now under review by the Governors.
At the state level, the PCCA was signed into law in July 2008. The PCCA requires, among other
things, that a Climate Change Advisory Committee be formed, that a report on the potential impact
of climate change in Pennsylvania be developed, that the PA DEP develop a GHG inventory for
Pennsylvania, that a voluntary GHG registry be identified, and that the PA DEP, in consultation
with the Climate Change Advisory Committee, develop a Climate Change Action Plan for Pennsylvania
to be reviewed with the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The Climate Change Advisory Committee issued
its recommendations for an Action Plan on October 9, 2009 and they are currently being considered
by the Pennsylvania legislature.
At this time, Exelon is unable to estimate the potential impacts of any future mandatory GHG
legal or regulatory requirements on its businesses.
Litigation Matters
Except to the extent noted below, the circumstances set forth in Note 18 of the 2009 Form 10-K
describe, in all material respects, the current status of litigation matters. The following is an
update to that discussion.
86
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Exelon and Generation
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Generation maintains a reserve for claims associated with
asbestos-related personal injury actions in certain facilities that are currently owned by
Generation or were previously owned by ComEd and PECO. The reserve is recorded on an undiscounted
basis and excludes the estimated legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could be
material. In the second quarter of 2008, Generation revised the period through which it estimates
that claims will be presented from 2030 to 2050.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Generation had reserved approximately $53 million
and $49 million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of June 30,
2010, approximately $15 million of this amount related to 171 open claims presented to Generation,
while the remaining $38 million of the reserve is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily
injury claims anticipated to arise through 2050 based on actuarial assumptions and analyses, which
are updated on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, Generation monitors actual experience against
the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluates whether an
adjustment to the reserve is necessary. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, Generation
increased its reserve by approximately $4 million, primarily due to an increase in forecasted
claims. Updates to this reserve in 2009 did not result in material adjustments.
Exelon
Pension Claims. On February 22, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of the
July 2, 2009 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirming dismissal of
claims that the calculation of lump sum benefits earned under the Exelon Corporation Cash Balance
Pension Plan (Plan) did not comply with ERISA. The Plans motion for summary judgment on remaining
claims regarding the Plans calculation of lump sum benefits earned under a prior, traditional
pension formula remains pending before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois.
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 Registrants
will record a receivable if they expect to recover costs for these contingencies. The ultimate
outcomes of such matters, as well as the matters discussed above, are uncertain and may have a
material adverse impact on the Registrants results of operations, cash flows or financial
positions.
Income Taxes
See Note 9 Income Taxes for information regarding the Registrants income tax refund claims
and certain tax positions, including the 1999 sale of fossil generating assets.

Includes the elimination of NDT fund related activity for the Regulatory Agreement Units,
including the elimination of operating revenues, ARO accretion, ARC amortization, investment
income and income taxes related to all NDT fund activity. See Note 11 of the 2009 Form 10-K
for additional information regarding the accounting for nuclear decommissioning. |

(c) |
|
During the second quarter, ComEd recorded a reduction of $25 million to taxes other than
income to reflect managements estimate of future refunds for the 2008 and 2009 tax years
associated with Illinois utility distribution tax based on an analysis of past refunds and
interpretations of the Illinois Public Utility Act. Historically, ComEd has recorded refunds
of the Illinois utility distribution tax when received. ComEd believes it now has sufficient,
reliable evidence to record and support an estimated receivable associated with the
anticipated refund for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. |
|
(d) |
|
Includes $70 million of under-recovered uncollectible accounts expense from 2008 and 2009
recorded in the first quarter of 2010 as well as subsequent adjustments to and amortization of
the associated regulatory asset. ComEd is recovering these costs through a rider mechanism
authorized by the ICC. See Note 3 Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding
the Illinois legislation for recovery of uncollectible accounts. |
|
(e) |
|
Relates primarily to prepaid utility taxes. |
|
(f) |
|
In March 2007, PECO prevailed in a Pennsylvania Supreme Court case in which PECO had
contested the assessment of PURTA taxes applicable to 1997. As a result, PECO received
approximately $38 million of real estate taxes previously remitted. This refund was recorded
as a regulatory liability. PECO began amortizing this liability and refunding customers in
January 2008. The regulatory liability associated with the PURTA settlement was fully
amortized in January 2009. |
|
(g) |
|
ComEd recorded an other-than-temporary impairment to Rabbi trust investments during the
second quarter of 2009. |

14. Segment Information (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
During the first quarter of 2010, Exelon and Generation concluded that Generation no longer
operates as a single reportable segment, primarily due to a change in the financial information
regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in determining resource allocation
and assessing performance. Certain regional results of Generations power marketing activities are
now being provided to the CODM and in other public disclosures. As a result, beginning in the
first quarter of 2010, Generation has three reportable segments consisting of Mid-Atlantic, Midwest
and South. Consequently, Exelon has five reportable segments consisting of Mid-Atlantic, Midwest,
South, ComEd and PECO. Prior period presentation has been adjusted for comparative purposes.
92
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Mid-Atlantic represents Generations operations primarily in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Maryland; Midwest includes operations in Illinois and Indiana; and South includes operations
primarily in Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma. Exelon and Generation evaluate the performance of
Generations power marketing activities in Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and South based on revenue net of
purchased power and fuel expense. Generation believes that revenue net of purchased power and fuel
expense is a useful measurement of operational performance. Revenue net
of purchased power and fuel expense is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be
comparable to other companies presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information
provided elsewhere in this report. Generations operating revenues include all sales to third
parties and affiliated sales to ComEd and PECO. Purchased power costs include all costs associated
with the procurement of electricity including capacity, energy and fuel costs associated with
tolling agreements. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for internally generated energy.
Generations retail gas, proprietary trading, other revenue and mark-to-market activities are not
allocated to a region. Exelon and Generation do not use a measure of total assets in making
decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable
segments.
ComEd and PECO each represent a single reportable segment; as such, no separate segment
information is provided for these Registrants. PECO has two operating segments, electric and gas
delivery, which are aggregated into one reportable segment primarily due to their similar economic
characteristics and the regulatory environments in which they operate. Exelon evaluates the
performance of ComEd and PECO based on net income.
An analysis and reconciliation of the Registrants reportable segment information to the
respective information in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

EXELON CORPORATION
General
Exelon, a utility services holding company, operates through the following principal
subsidiaries:
|
|
|
Generation, whose business consists of its owned and contracted electric
generating facilities, its wholesale energy marketing operations and competitive retail
sales operations. |
|
|
|
ComEd, whose business consists of the purchase and regulated retail sale of
electricity and the provision of transmission and distribution services in northern
Illinois, including the City of Chicago. |
|
|
|
PECO, whose business consists of the purchase and regulated retail sale of
electricity and the provision of transmission and distribution services in southeastern
Pennsylvania, including the City of Philadelphia, as well as the purchase and regulated
retail sale of natural gas and the provision of distribution services in the
Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. |
Exelon has five reportable segments consisting of Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and South in
Generation and ComEd and PECO. See Note 14 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for segment information.
Through its business services subsidiary, BSC, Exelon provides its subsidiaries with a variety
of support services at cost. The costs of these services are directly charged or allocated to the
applicable operating segments. Additionally, the results of Exelons corporate operations include
costs for corporate governance and interest costs and income from various investment and financing
activities.
Executive Overview
Financial Results. All amounts presented below are before the impact of income taxes,
except as noted.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. Exelons net
income was $445 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $657 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, and diluted earnings per average common share were $0.67 for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense increased by $111 million primarily at ComEd
and PECO, which were largely affected by favorable weather conditions in their service territories.
Operating and maintenance expense remained relatively consistent. Increased incremental storm
costs of $25 million in the ComEd and PECO service territories and increased nuclear refueling
outage costs of $10 million related to Generations ownership interest in Salem were offset by the
impact of $41 million related to severance expense recorded in 2009 for the elimination of
management and staff positions pursuant to Exelons 2009 cost savings program.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $80 million primarily due to a scheduled
increase in CTC amortization expense at PECO of $37 million in accordance with its 1998
Restructuring Settlement and increased depreciation expense of $19 million across the operating
companies primarily due to ongoing capital expenditures. Exelons results were also significantly
affected by unfavorable net NDT activity of $80 million in 2010 compared to favorable net NDT activity of $125
million in 2009 for Non-Regulatory Agreement Units as a result of unfavorable market performance.
Finally,
net income decreased as a result of a non-cash charge of $65 million (after
tax) in 2010 and a non-cash gain of $66 million (after tax) in 2009 for the remeasurement of income
tax uncertainties.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. Exelons net
income was $1,194 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,369 million for
the six months ended June
30, 2009, and diluted earnings per average common share were $1.80 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to $2.07 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
95
Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense increased by $50 million primarily due to $110
million in mark-to-market gains from Generations hedging activities in 2010 compared to $12
million in losses in 2009. Exelon also benefited from the impact of $34 million of favorable
weather conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories and a decrease of $56 million in costs
associated with the Illinois Settlement Legislation, primarily at Generation. Offsetting these
favorable impacts were continuing unfavorable market and portfolio conditions of $71 million,
increased nuclear fuel costs of $56 million and the impact of lower nuclear output of $52 million
due to increased planned nuclear outage days.
Operating
and maintenance expense decreased by $297 million primarily due to the impact of
2009 activities, including the $223 million impairment of the Handley and Mountain Creek stations
and a charge related to severance expense of $41 million for the elimination of management and
staff positions pursuant to Exelons 2009 cost savings program. In addition, ComEd recorded the
reversal of 2008 and 2009 under-collection of annual uncollectible accounts expense of $70 million
due to the February 2010 approval by the ICC of ComEds uncollectible accounts expense rider
mechanism, partially offset by a one-time contribution of $10 million associated with the ICCs
approval. Decreased operating and maintenance expense was partially offset by increased planned
nuclear outage expense of $44 million and incremental costs of $36 million related to storms in the
ComEd and PECO service territories.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $158 million primarily due to a scheduled
increase in CTC amortization expense at PECO of $72 million in accordance with its 1998
Restructuring Settlement and increased depreciation expense of $46 million across the operating
companies primarily due to ongoing capital expenditures. Exelons results were also significantly
affected by unfavorable net NDT activity of $33 million in 2010 compared to favorable net NDT
activity of $69 million in 2009 for Non-Regulatory Agreement Units as a result of unfavorable
market performance.
Exelon results for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 were negatively affected by certain
income tax-related matters. Exelon recorded a non-cash
charge of $65 million (after tax)
in 2010 and a non-cash gain of $66 million (after tax) in 2009 for the remeasurement of income tax
uncertainties. Exelon also recorded a $65 million (after tax) charge to income tax expense as a
result of health care legislation passed in March 2010 that includes a provision that reduces the
deductibility of retiree prescription drug benefits for Federal income tax purposes. Finally,
Exelon recorded a non-cash gain of $43 million (after tax) in 2009 related to an Illinois
Supreme Court decision granting Illinois investment tax credits to Exelon, which was subsequently
reversed in the third quarter of 2009.
For further detail regarding the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010, including explanation of the non-GAAP measure revenue net of purchased power and fuel
expense, see the discussions of Results of Operations by Segment below.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. Exelons adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $656 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared with
adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings of $683 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2009. Exelons adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the six months ended June 30,
2010 were $1,319 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared with adjusted (non-GAAP) operating
earnings of $1,479 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. In addition
to net income, Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of adjusted (non-GAAP)
operating earnings because management believes it represents earnings directly related to the
ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings exclude certain costs,
expenses, gains and losses and other specified items. This information is intended to enhance an
investors overall understanding of year-to-year operating results and provide an indication of
Exelons baseline operating performance excluding items that are considered by management to be not
directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among
the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources,
setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted
(non-GAAP) operating earnings is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to
other companies presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere
in this report.
96
The following table provides a reconciliation between net income as determined in accordance
with GAAP and adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to the same period in 2009:

Outlook for the Remainder of 2010 and Beyond.
Economic and Market Conditions
|
|
|
Exelon has exposure to various market and financial risks, including the risk of
price fluctuations in the wholesale power markets. Wholesale power prices are a function
of supply and demand, which in turn are driven by factors such as (1) the price of fuels,
and, in particular, the prices of natural gas and coal, which drive the wholesale market
prices that Generations nuclear power plants can command, (2) the rate of expansion of
subsidized low carbon generation such as wind energy in the markets in which Generations
output is sold, and (3) the impacts on energy demand of factors such as weather, economic
conditions and implementation of energy efficiency and demand response programs. The
proposed CATR that was published by the U.S. EPA on July 6, 2010 may also impact
long-term wholesale power prices. See Environmental Matters below for further detail. |
The use of new technologies to recover natural gas from shale deposits is expected to
increase natural gas supply and reserves, which will tend to place downward pressure on
natural gas prices and could reduce Exelons revenues. Additionally, beginning in late
2008, the weak world economy reduced the international demand for coal, oil and natural
gas, and led to sharply lower fossil fuel prices putting downward pressure on electricity
prices. The same economic weakness has also resulted in lower demand for electricity,
although ComEd and PECO now project slight increases in load demand in 2010 as compared to
load declines experienced in 2009.
Exelons policy to hedge commodity risk on a ratable basis over three-year periods is
intended to reduce the financial impacts of market price volatility. Although Exelons
hedging policies have helped protect Exelons earnings as wholesale market prices have
declined, sustained increases in natural gas supply and reserve levels, or a slow recovery
of the economy, could result in a prolonged depression of or further decline in commodity
prices and in long-term sluggish load demand.
New Growth Opportunities
|
|
|
Generation pursues growth opportunities that are consistent with its disciplined
approach to investing to maximize shareholder value, taking earnings, cash flow and
financial risk into account. During 2009, Generation announced a series of planned power
uprates across its nuclear fleet that will result in between 1,300 and 1,500 MW of
additional generation capacity within eight years. The uprate projects represent a total
investment of approximately $3.5 billion, as measured in current costs. Using proven
technologies, the projects take advantage of new production and measurement technologies,
new materials and learning from a half-century of nuclear power operations. Uprate
projects, representing approximately one half of the planned uprates, are underway at the
Limerick and Peach Bottom nuclear stations in Pennsylvania and the Byron, Braidwood,
Dresden, LaSalle and Quad Cities plants in Illinois. The remainder will come from
additional projects across Generations nuclear fleet beginning in the second half of
2010 and ending in 2017. At 1,500 nuclear-generated MW, the uprates would displace 8
million metric tons of carbon emissions annually that would otherwise come from burning
fossil fuels.
The uprates are being undertaken pursuant to an organized, strategically sequenced
implementation plan. The implementation effort includes a periodic review and refinement
of the project in light of changing market conditions. The amount of expenditures to
implement the plan ultimately will depend on economic and policy developments, and will be
made on a project-by-project basis in accordance with Exelons normal project evaluation
standards. |
98
|
|
|
On April 22, 2010, the PAPUC approved PECOs Smart Meter Procurement and
Installation Plan under which PECO will deploy 600,000 smart meters within three years
and deploy smart meters to all of its electric customers over the next 10 years. On
April 12, 2010, PECO entered into a Financial Assistance Agreement with the DOE for SGIG
funds under the ARRA. Under the SGIG, PECO has been awarded $200 million, the maximum
allowable grant under the program, for its SGIG project, Smart Future Greater
Philadelphia. The SGIG project has a budget of more than $400 million and includes
approximately $7 million related to demonstration projects by two sub-recipients. In
total, over the next ten years, PECO is planning to spend up to a total of $650 million
on its smart grid and smart meter infrastructure. The $200 million SGIG from the DOE
will be used to reduce the impact of those investments on PECO ratepayers. |
|
|
|
In October 2009, the ICC approved ComEds proposed AMI pilot program, with minor
modifications, and recovery of substantially all program costs from customers. The
one-year program was fully implemented in June 2010. The total anticipated cost of the
pilot program is approximately $69 million. The AMI pilot program allows ComEd to study
the costs and benefits related to automated metering and to develop the cost estimate of
potential full system-wide implementation of AMI. In addition, the program allows
customers the ability to manage energy use, improve energy efficiency and potentially
lower energy bills. |
Liquidity and Cost Management
|
|
|
Exelon is subject to significant ongoing cost pressures during these challenging
economic times. Exelon is committed to operating its businesses responsibly and managing
its operating and capital costs in a manner that serves its customers and produces value
for its shareholders. Exelon is also committed to an ongoing strategy to make itself more
effective, efficient and innovative. In 2009, Exelon launched a company-wide cost
management initiative, which combines short-term actions with long-term change. In the
short-term, Exelon realized cost savings, primarily as a result of the elimination of 500
positions within BSC and ComEd in 2009, productivity improvements and stringent controls
on supply spending, contracting and overtime costs. Exelon is committed to maintaining a
cost control focus and expects to largely offset increasing pension and benefits expense
and general inflation in 2010 with additional cost savings, including freezing executive
salaries and reducing employee benefits. With regard to long-term changes, Exelon is
analyzing cost trends over the past five years to identify future cost savings
opportunities and implementing more planning and performance-measurement tools that allow
it to better identify areas for sustainable productivity improvements and cost reductions
across the Registrants. |
|
|
|
On March 25, 2010, ComEd replaced its $952 million credit
facility with a similar $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that extends to
March 25, 2013. Although the covenants are largely the same as the prior facility, the
new facility has higher borrowing costs, reflecting current market pricing. See Note 5
of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
regarding those costs. Exelons, Generations, and PECOs credit facilities largely
extend through October 2012. These credit facilities currently provide sufficient
liquidity to each of the Registrants. Upon maturity of these credit facilities, Exelon,
Generation and PECO may not be able to renew or replace these existing facilities at
current terms or commitment levels from banks. Consequently, Exelon, Generation, and PECO
may face increased costs for liquidity needs in 2011 and may choose to establish
alternative liquidity sources as appropriate. |
99
Regulatory Matters
|
|
|
On June 30, 2010, ComEd requested ICC approval for an increase of $396 million to
its net annual revenue requirement for electric distribution to allow
ComEd to
continue modernizing its electric
delivery system and recover the costs of substantial investments made since the last rate
filing in 2007. The requested increase also reflects increased costs, most notably
pension and OPEB, since ComEds rates were last determined. The requested rate of return
on common equity is 11.5%. The requested increase in electric distribution rates would
increase the average residential customers monthly electric bill by approximately 7%. In
addition, ComEd is requesting future recovery of certain amounts that were previously
recorded as expense. If that request is approved, ComEd would reverse the previously
expensed costs and establish regulatory assets with amortization over the period during
which rate recovery is allowed. As a result, ComEd would recognize a one-time benefit of
up to $39 million (pre-tax) to reverse the prior charges. The requested increase also
includes $22 million for increased uncollectible accounts expense. If the rate request
is approved, the threshold for determining over/under recoveries under ComEds
uncollectible accounts tariff would be increased by $22 million. The new electric distribution rates
would take effect no later than June 2011. ComEd cannot predict how much of the requested
electric distribution rate increase the ICC may approve. |
During the third quarter of 2010, ComEd expects to file an alternative regulation pilot
proposal with the ICC to recover the costs of smart grid and other projects outside of the
traditional rate case process. The two-year proposal is expected to include a flow-through
mechanism to recover the carrying costs associated with
$130 million in capital investments and $65 million in incremental
operating and maintenance expense, as incurred. The unrecovered
portion of the capital investments would be included in ComEds
rate base in its next delivery services rate filing. The ICC proceedings relating to the
alternative regulation pilot proposal will occur over a period of up to nine months after
filing.

In 2009, comprehensive
legislation was enacted into law in Illinois providing public utility
companies with the ability to recover from or refund to customers the
difference between the utilitys annual uncollectible accounts expense and amounts
collected in rates annually through a rider mechanism, starting with
2008 and prospectively. On February
2, 2010, the ICC issued an order adopting ComEds proposed tariffs filed in accordance
with the legislation, with minor modifications. As a result of the ICC order, ComEd
recorded a regulatory asset of $70 million and an offsetting reduction in operating and
maintenance expense in the first quarter of 2010 for the cumulative under-collections in 2008 and 2009. Recovery of
the regulatory asset associated with 2008 and 2009 activities will take place over an
approximate 14-month time frame which began in April 2010. The recovery or refund of the
difference in the uncollectible accounts expense applicable to the years starting with
January 1, 2010, will take place over a 12-month time frame beginning in June of the
following year. In addition, ComEd recorded a one-time charge of $10 million to operating
and maintenance expense in the first quarter of 2010 for a contribution to the
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund as required by the legislation. The fund
is used to assist low-income residential customers. |

On March 31, 2010, PECO filed separate petitions before the PAPUC for increases of
$316 million and $44 million to its annual service revenue requirement for electric and
natural gas delivery, respectively, to fund critical infrastructure improvement projects
to meet customer demand and ensure the safe and reliable delivery of electricity and
natural gas. The requested rate of return on common equity under the electric and
natural gas delivery rate cases is 11.75%. The requested increase in delivery rates
charged to customers for electric and natural gas as a result of the rate cases is 6.94%
and 5.28%, respectively. The new electric and gas delivery rates would take effect no
later than January 1, 2011. The results of the rate cases are expected to be known in the
fourth quarter of 2010. PECO cannot predict how much of the requested increases the PAPUC
may approve. |

In accordance with the DSP Program, PECO has completed three competitive
procurements for electric supply for default electric service customers commencing
January 2011. PECO plans to conduct one additional competitive procurement in 2010. As
of June 30, 2010, PECO has procured approximately 72% of the total estimated electric
supply needed to serve the residential customer class in 2011. The results of these
procurements indicate a price decrease for electric supply of approximately 1.8%, on
average, below current prices for residential customers. The actual price change will
not be known until all the scheduled procurements have been completed. |

Environmental Matters
|
|
|
On July 6, 2010, the U.S. EPA published the proposed CATR as the replacement to the
CAIR that had been remanded by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in
2008 due to a number of legal deficiencies. The proposed CATR is the first of a number
of significant regulations that the U.S. EPA expects to issue that will impose more
stringent requirements relating to air, water and waste controls on electric generating
units. The air and waste regulations will have a disproportionate adverse impact on
fossil-fuel power plants, requiring significant expenditures of capital and variable
operating and maintenance expense, and will likely result in the retirement of older,
marginal facilities. Due to its low carbon generation portfolio, Exelon will not be as
significantly impacted by these regulations, which would, therefore, result in a
comparative advantage for Exelon relative to electric generators that are more reliant on
fossil-fuel plants. Upon preliminary review, it is expected that implementation of the
proposed CATR regulations would tend to have a long-term positive impact on both capacity
and energy prices, which would result in a net benefit to Exelons results of operations
and cash flows. |
Beginning with the CATR, the air requirements are expected to be implemented through a
series of increasingly stringent regulations relating to conventional air pollutants
(e.g., NOx, SO2 and particulate matter) as well as HAPs (e.g.,
acid gases, mercury and other heavy metals). Under the proposal, the first phase of
the NOx and SO2 emissions reductions under the CATR would
commence in 2012, with further reductions of SO2 emissions proposed to
become effective in 2014. Established emissions limits will be further reduced as
the U.S. EPA finalizes more restrictive NAAQS for ozone and fine particulate matter
in the 2010 2011 timeframe. Finally, the most restrictive requirements will be
imposed by finalization of a new HAP standard for electric generating units, which
the U.S. EPA is required to complete by November 2011 pursuant to a Consent Decree
settling litigation under the former CAMR. The HAP standard is technology based and
will require the installation of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) by
November 2014. The cumulative impact of these regulations could be to require power
plant operators to install wet flue gas desulfurization technology for SO2
and selective catalytic reduction technology for NOx.
As proposed, the CATR establishes an aggressive, streamlined process that
could result in significant capital expenditures for NOx and
SO2 pollution control equipment for plant operators as early as 2014
- -2015. Given its low carbon generation portfolio, Exelon does not currently expect
the adoption of the rules as proposed to have a significant impact on its future
capital spending requirements.
The proposed CATR regulations also would limit the use of allowance trading to achieve
compliance, and restrict entirely the use of pre-2012 allowances. Existing SO2
allowances under the Title IV Acid Rain Program (ARP) would remain available for use under
that Program. Exelon is evaluating the impact the proposed CATR regulations may have on
the market value of its ARP SO2 allowances and its net investment in long-term
direct financing leases of coal-fired plants in Georgia and Texas. See Note 12 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail related to the
possible impact on Exelons results of operations and financial position.
Under proposed U.S. EPA rules issued on June 21, 2010, coal combustion waste (CCW) would
be regulated for the first time under the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
The U.S. EPA is considering several options, including classification of CCW either as a
hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Under either option, the U.S. EPAs intention is the
elimination of surface impoundments as a waste treatment process. For impacted plants,
this would result in significant capital expenditures and variable operating and
maintenance expenditures to convert to dry handling and disposal systems and installation
of new waste water treatment facilities. Exelon does not currently expect the adoption of
the rules as proposed to have a significant impact on its future capital spending
requirements and operating costs.
Pursuant
to an April 1, 2009 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. EPA is also preparing a
proposed rule regulating cooling water intake structures under Section 316(b) of the
Clean Water Act, and could require some, or all, facilities with once-through cooling
systems to be retrofitted with cooling towers. If Exelon is required to install
cooling towers at all of its facilities with once-through cooling systems, the impact
to capital and variable operating and maintenance expenditures could be material.

Exelon supports the passage of comprehensive climate change legislation that balances
the need to protect consumers, business and the economy with the urgent need to reduce
GHG emissions in the United States. In June 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed H.R. 2454. Among its various components, the bill proposes mandatory, economy-wide
GHG reduction targets and goals that would be achieved via a Federal emissions
cap-and-trade program. If enacted, H.R. 2454 is expected to increase wholesale power
prices as generating units reflect the price of carbon emission permits and the cost of
emission reduction technology in their bids to supply energy to wholesale markets in
order to recover their costs of compliance with carbon regulation. Due to its overall
low-carbon generation portfolio, under the provisions of H.R. 2454, Exelon expects that
its operating revenues would increase significantly. In September 2009, the U.S. Senate
introduced its version of climate change legislation that is similar to H.R. 2454, but
does not yet provide specific details regarding allowance allocations. Any bill passed by
the U.S. Senate would need to be reconciled with H.R. 2454, approved by both the U.S.
House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and signed by President Obama before
becoming law. |
|
|
|
In 2008, Exelon expanded its commitment to GHG reduction with the announcement of a
comprehensive business and environmental strategic plan. The plan, Exelon 2020, details
an enterprise-wide strategy and a wide range of initiatives being pursued by Exelon to
reduce, offset, or displace more than 15 million metric tons of GHG emissions per year by
2020 (from 2001 levels). See Item 1. General Business of Exelons 2009 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for further discussion of Exelons voluntary GHG emissions reductions. |
See Note 12 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail
related to environmental matters, including the impact of environmental regulation.
Health Care Reform Legislation
|
|
|
In March 2010, the Health Care Reform Acts were signed into law. A number of
provisions in the Health Care Reform Acts impact retiree health care plans provided by
employers. One such provision reduces the deductibility, for Federal income tax
purposes, of retiree health care costs to the extent an employers postretirement health
care plan receives Federal subsidies that provide retiree prescription drug benefits at
least equivalent to Medicare prescription drug benefits. Although this change does not
take effect immediately, the Registrants are required to recognize the full accounting
impact in their financial statements in the period in which the legislation was enacted.
As a result, in the first quarter of 2010, Exelon recorded total after-tax charges of
approximately $65 million to income tax expense to reverse deferred tax assets previously
established. Of this total, Generation, ComEd and PECO recorded charges of $24 million,
$11 million and $9 million, respectively. The reduction of these income tax deductions
is also estimated to increase Exelons total annual income tax expense by approximately
$10 million to $15 million. Of this total, Generations, ComEds and PECOs annual
income tax expense is estimated to increase $5 million to $8 million, $3 million to $4
million and $1 million to $2 million, respectively. |
Additionally, the Health Care Reform Acts contain other provisions that will impact
Exelons obligation for retiree medical benefits. In particular, the Health Care Reform
Acts include a provision that imposes an excise tax on certain high-cost plans beginning
in 2018, whereby premiums paid over a prescribed threshold will be taxed at a 40% rate.
Exelon does not currently believe the excise tax or other provisions of the Health Care
Reform Acts will materially increase its postretirement benefit obligation. Accordingly, a
re-measurement of Exelons postretirement benefit obligation is not required at this time.
However, Exelon will continue to monitor and assess the impact of the Health Care Reform
Acts, including any clarifying regulations issued to address how the provisions are to be
implemented, on its future results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Exelon will reflect its best estimate of the expected impacts in its annual actuarial
measurement at December 31, 2010, which could result in increased postretirement benefit
costs in future years. Exelon may consider plan structure changes in future periods to
respond to the provisions of the Health Care Reform Acts and optimally manage its employee
benefit costs, subject to collective bargaining agreements, where applicable.
102
Financial Reform Legislation
|
|
|
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act was enacted into law on July 21, 2010.
This financial reform legislation includes a provision that requires over-the-counter
derivative transactions to be executed through an exchange or centrally cleared. In
addition, the legislation provides an exemption from mandatory clearing requirements for
transactions that are used to hedge commercial risk like those utilized by Generation.
At the same time, the legislation includes provisions under which the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission may impose collateral requirements for transactions, including those
that are used to hedge commercial risk. However, during drafting of the legislation,
members of Congress adopted report language and issued a public letter stating that it
was not their intention to impose margin and collateral requirements on counterparties
that utilize transactions to hedge commercial risk. Final rules on major provisions in
the legislation, like new margin requirements, will be established through rulemakings
and will not take effect until 12 months after the date of enactment. Generation
currently has unsecured credit with various counterparties available for over-the-counter
derivative transactions that could require Generation, or its counterparties, to post
additional collateral if they are deemed subject to higher margin requirements. The
Registrants are currently unable to assess the impact of the financial reform
legislation. |
Competitive Markets
|
|
|
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 2010 and 2011. 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 currently hedges commodity risk on a ratable basis
over the three years leading to the spot market. As of June 30, 2010, the percentage of
expected generation hedged was 96%-99%, 86%-89% and 57%-60% for 2010, 2011 and 2012,
respectively. The percentage of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent
sales divided by the expected generation. Expected generation represents the amount of
energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted capacity.
Equivalent sales represent all hedging products, which include cash flow hedges, other
derivatives and certain non-derivative contracts including sales to ComEd and PECO to
serve their retail load. Generation has been and will continue to be proactive in using
hedging strategies to mitigate this price risk in subsequent years as well. PECO has
transferred substantially all of its commodity price risk related to its procurement of
electricity to Generation through a PPA that expires on December 31, 2010. Since PECO
entered into its PPA with Generation, market prices for energy have generally been higher
than the generation rates PECO has paid for purchased power, which represents the rates
paid by PECO customers. Generations margins on its other sales have therefore generally
been higher. The expiration of the PPA with PECO at the end of 2010 will likely result in
increases in margins earned by Generation beginning in 2011 for the portion of
Generations electricity portfolio previously sold to PECO under the PPA. While
Generations three-year ratable hedging program considers the expiration of the PPA the
ultimate impact of entering into new power supply contracts will depend on a number of
factors, including future wholesale market prices, capacity markets, energy demand and
the effects of any new applicable Pennsylvania laws and or rules and regulations
promulgated by the PAPUC. Both PECO and ComEd mitigate exposure to commodity price risk
through the recovery of procurement costs from retail customers. |
|
|
|
Generation procures coal and natural gas through long-term and short-term
contracts, and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel is obtained predominantly through
long-term uranium concentrate supply contracts, contracted conversion services,
contracted enrichment services and contracted fuel fabrication services. The supply
markets for uranium concentrates and certain nuclear fuel services, coal and natural gas
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. Approximately 57% of Generations uranium concentrate
requirements from 2010 through 2014 are supplied by three producers. In the event of
non-performance by these or other suppliers, Generation believes that replacement uranium
concentrates can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when
compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Non-performance by these
counterparties could have a material adverse 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 certain commodity price exposures. |
103
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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary
in the Registrants accounting for AROs, asset impairments, depreciable lives of property, plant
and equipment, defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits, regulatory accounting,
derivative instruments, taxation, contingencies and revenue recognition. At June 30, 2010, the
Registrants critical accounting policies and estimates had not changed significantly from December
31, 2009.

(a) |
|
Generation evaluates its operating performance using the measure of revenue net of purchased
power and fuel expense. Generation believes that revenue net of purchased power and fuel
expense is a useful measurement because it provides information that can be used to evaluate
its operational performance. Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense is not a
presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies presentations or
deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. |
Net Income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. Generations
net income decreased primarily due to unfavorable NDT fund performance and lower operating
revenues, net of purchased power and fuel expense; partially offset by lower costs associated with
the Illinois Settlement Legislation. Lower operating revenues, net of purchased power and fuel
expense, were largely due to unfavorable portfolio and market conditions, partially offset by
decreased mark-to-market losses on economic hedging activities.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. Generations net
income decreased primarily due to unfavorable NDT fund performance and lower operating revenues,
net of purchased power and fuel expense; partially offset by lower operating and maintenance
expense and lower costs associated with the Illinois Settlement Legislation. Lower operating
revenues, net of purchased power and fuel expense, were largely due to unfavorable portfolio and
market conditions and decreased nuclear output as a result of more planned refueling outage days in
2010; partially offset by increased mark-to-market gains on economic hedging and proprietary
trading activities. Lower operating and maintenance expense primarily reflected the impacts of the
impairment of certain generating assets in 2009, partially offset by increased nuclear refueling
outage costs associated with the higher number of refueling outage days in 2010.
Revenue Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
Generation primarily operates in three segments: the Mid-Atlantic, representing operations
primarily in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland; the Midwest, including operations in Illinois
and Indiana; and the South, where the most significant operations are located in Texas, Georgia and
Oklahoma.
Generation evaluates the operating performance of its power marketing activities using the
measure of revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense. Generations operating revenues
include all sales to third parties and affiliated sales to ComEd and PECO. Purchased power costs
include all costs associated with the procurement of electricity including capacity, energy and
fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for internally
generated energy. Generations retail gas, proprietary trading, other revenue and mark-to-market
activities are not allocated to a region.

Mid-Atlantic
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The $99
million decrease in revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the Mid-Atlantic was
primarily due to unfavorable pricing related to Generations PPA with PECO. Additionally,
decreased production from owned generation and increased sales to PECO resulted in less energy
available for market and retail sales.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The $180 million
decrease in revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the Mid-Atlantic was primarily due
to unfavorable pricing related to Generations PPA with PECO. Additionally, decreased production
from owned generation and increased sales to PECO resulted in less energy available for market and
retail sales.
Midwest
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The $1 million
decrease in revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the Midwest was primarily due to
decreased realized margins for the volumes previously sold under the
2006 ComEd auction contracts, increases in the price of nuclear fuel and unfavorable market conditions partially offset by higher
volumes available for market and retail sales due to higher nuclear generation.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The $80 million
decrease in revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the Midwest was primarily due to
decreased realized margins for the volumes previously sold under the 2006 ComEd auction contracts,
increases in the price of nuclear fuel and unfavorable market conditions.
South
In the South, there are certain long-term purchase power agreements that have fixed capacity
payments based on unit availability. The extent to which these fixed payments are recovered is
dependent on market conditions.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The decrease
in revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the South of $18 million was due to lower
realized margins due to outage activity and unfavorable market conditions.
108
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in
revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense in the South of $33 million was due to lower
realized margins due to outage activity and unfavorable market conditions.
Trading Portfolio
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The three
months ended June 30, 2010 include revenue recorded from certain long options in the proprietary
trading portfolio.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The six months
ended June 30, 2010 include revenue recorded from certain long options in the proprietary trading
portfolio.
Mark-to-market
Generation is exposed to market risks associated with changes in commodity prices and enters
into economic hedges to mitigate exposure to these fluctuations.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. Mark-to-market
losses on power hedging activities were $150 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
including the impact of the changes in ineffectiveness, compared to losses of $160 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009. Mark-to-market gains on fuel hedging activities were $26 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to losses of $13 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009. See Notes 4 and 6 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for information on gains and losses associated with mark-to-market derivatives.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. Mark-to-market
gains on power hedging activities were $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
including the impact of the changes in ineffectiveness, compared to gains of $40 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009. Mark-to-market gains on fuel hedging activities were $74 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to losses of $28 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009. See Notes 4 and 6 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
information on gains and losses associated with mark-to-market derivatives.
Other
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase
in other revenues was primarily due to $23 million in reduced customer credits issued to ComEd and
Ameren associated with the Illinois Settlement Legislation further described in Note 3 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase in
other revenues was primarily due to $54 million in reduced customer credits issued to ComEd and
Ameren associated with the Illinois Settlement Legislation further described in Note 3 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

109
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The nuclear
fleet capacity factor increased primarily due to fewer refueling outage days, excluding Salem
outages, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. For the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, refueling outage days totaled 44 and 57, respectively.
The decrease in refueling outage days is primarily due to the timing of refueling outage activities
performed in 2010 compared to 2009. Higher nuclear fuel costs resulted in higher production cost
per MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The nuclear fleet
capacity factor decreased primarily due to more refueling outage days, excluding Salem outages,
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. For the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, refueling outage days totaled 145 and 91, respectively. The increase
in refueling outage days is primarily due to the increase in the number of refueling outages
performed in 2010 compared to 2009. Additionally, the 2009 refueling outage at Three Mile Island
Generating Station extended 23 days into 2010. A lower number of net MWhs generated, higher
operating and maintenance costs associated with the higher number of refueling outages and higher
nuclear fuel costs resulted in higher production cost per MWh for the six months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
Operating and Maintenance Expense

Depreciation and Amortization
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase
in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the change in the estimated useful
lives associated with the plant shutdowns announced in December 2009. The change in estimated
useful lives further described in Note 8 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
resulted in an increase of $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the
same period in 2009. Additionally, Generation completed a depreciation rate study during the first
quarter of 2010, which resulted in a change in depreciation rate. The change in depreciation rate
resulted in an increase of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same
period in 2009. The remaining increase in depreciation expense primarily reflected higher plant
balances due to capital additions and upgrades to existing facilities.
110
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase in
depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the change in the estimated useful lives
associated with the plant shutdowns announced in December 2009. The change in estimated useful
lives further described in Note 8 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements resulted in an increase of $35 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The change in depreciation
rate from the study discussed above, resulted in an increase of $10 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The remaining increase in depreciation
expense primarily reflected higher plant balances due to capital additions and upgrades to existing
facilities.
Taxes Other Than Income
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased property taxes related to
Generations nuclear facilities.
Interest Expense
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase
in interest expense was primarily due to a net increase in long-term debt outstanding as a result
of issuances in 2009, further described in Note 9 of the 2009 Form 10-K. The increase in long-term
debt resulted in higher interest expense of approximately $10 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The increase in
interest expense was primarily due to a net increase in long-term debt outstanding as a result of
issuances in 2009, further described in Note 9 of the 2009 Form 10-K. The increase in long-term
debt resulted in higher interest expense of approximately $19 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
Other, Net
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. The decrease
in other, net primarily reflects the change in unrealized activity related to the NDT funds of its
Non-Regulatory Agreement Units as described in the table below. The decrease in other, net also
reflects $54 million of expense in 2010 compared to $87 million of income in 2009 related to the
contractual elimination of income tax benefits in 2010 and income tax expense in 2009 associated
with the NDT funds of the Regulatory Agreement Units.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in
other, net primarily reflects the change in unrealized activity related to the NDT funds of its
Non-Regulatory Agreement Units as described in the table below. The decrease in other, net also
reflects $22 million of expense in 2010 compared to $52 million of income in 2009 related to the
contractual elimination of income tax benefits in 2010 and income tax expense in 2009 associated
with the NDT funds of the Regulatory Agreement Units.
The following table provides unrealized and realized gains and losses on the NDT funds of the
Non-Regulatory Agreement Units recognized in other, net for the three and six months ended June 30,

ComEd evaluates its operating performance using the measure of revenue net of purchased power
expense. ComEd believes that revenue net of purchased power expense is a useful measurement
because it provides information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. In
general, ComEd only earns margin based on the delivery and transmission of electricity. ComEd
has included its discussion of revenue net of purchased power expense below as a complement to
the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, revenue net of purchased
power expense is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other
companies presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in
this report. |
Net income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. ComEds net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was lower than the same period in 2009 due
principally, to the remeasurement of uncertain income tax positions in 2009 and 2010 related to the
1999 sale of ComEds fossil generating assets. These remeasurements resulted in increased interest
expense and income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2010 and increased interest income
recorded in the second quarter of 2009. ComEds operating and maintenance expense remained relatively
consistent, reflecting severance expense recorded in the second
quarter of 2009 associated with the 2009 restructuring plan and higher incremental storm costs.
These reductions to net income were partially offset by
higher revenues due to favorable weather and lower taxes other than income taxes, reflecting the
accrual of estimated future refunds recorded in the second quarter of 2010 of the Illinois utility
distribution tax for the 2008 and 2009 tax years.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. ComEds net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was lower than the same period in 2009 due
principally, to the remeasurement of uncertain income tax positions in 2009 and 2010 related to the 1999
sale of ComEds fossil generating assets. These remeasurements resulted in increased interest
expense and income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2010, and increased
interest income recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Net income was also reduced by
higher incremental storm costs, the first
quarter 2009 impact of benefits associated with an Illinois Supreme Court decision granting
Illinois Investment Tax Credits to ComEd which were reversed in the third quarter of 2009, and the
first quarter 2010 impact of Federal health care legislation signed into law in March 2010. These
reductions to net income were partially offset by the reversal of 2008 and 2009 under-collection of annual uncollectible accounts
expense due to the February 2010 approval by the ICC of ComEds uncollectible accounts expense
rider mechanism, lower taxes other than income taxes, reflecting the accrual of estimated future
refunds recorded in the second quarter of 2010 of the Illinois utility distribution tax for the
2008 and 2009 tax years, and higher revenue net of purchased power
expense due to favorable weather.
112
Operating revenues and purchased power expense
There are certain drivers to revenue that are fully offset by their impact on purchased power
expense, such as commodity procurement costs and customer choice programs. ComEd is permitted to
recover its electricity procurement costs from retail customers
without mark-up. Therefore,
fluctuations in electricity procurement costs have no impact on electric revenue net of purchased
power expense. See Note 3 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 2 of
the 2009 Form 10-K for additional information on ComEds electricity procurement process.
Electric revenues and purchased power expense are affected by fluctuations in customers
purchases from competitive electric generation suppliers. All ComEd customers have the ability to
purchase electricity from an alternative electric generation supplier. The customer choice of
electric generation supplier does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue
collected from customers related to supplied electricity.
Details of ComEds retail customers purchasing electricity from competitive electric
generation suppliers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, consisted of the

Uncollectible Accounts Recovery
In 2009, comprehensive legislation was enacted into law in Illinois providing public utility
companies with the ability to recover from or refund to customers the difference between the
utilitys annual uncollectible accounts expense and amounts collected in rates annually through a
rider mechanism, starting with 2008 and prospectively. Recovery began in April 2010, and during the
three and six months ended June 30 2010, ComEd recognized recovery of $17 million associated with
this rider mechanism. These amounts were offset by an equal amount of amortization of regulatory
assets reflected in operating and maintenance expense.
113
Energy efficiency and demand response programs
As a result of the Illinois Settlement Legislation, utilities are required to provide energy
efficiency and demand response programs and other programs, and are allowed recovery of the costs
of these programs from customers on a full and current basis through a reconcilable automatic
adjustment clause. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, ComEd recognized $21
million and $40 million of revenue associated with these
programs, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, ComEd recognized
$14 million and $25 million of revenue associated with these programs, respectively. These amounts
were offset by equal amounts in operating and maintenance expense for regulatory required programs.
Weatherdelivery
Revenues net of purchased power expense were higher in the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 due to favorable weather conditions. 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 customer usage and delivery of electricity. Conversely, mild weather
reduces demand.
Heating and cooling degree days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy
needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average
heating and cooling degree days for a 30-year period in ComEds service territory. The changes in
heating and cooling degree days in ComEds service territory for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, consisted of the following:

Volume delivery
Revenues net of purchased power expense increased as a result of higher delivery volume,
exclusive of the effects of weather, reflecting increased customer growth and increased average
usage per customer for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same periods
in 2009.

ComEd recovered $17 million of operating revenues in the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 through its uncollectible accounts expense rider mechanism. An equal amount of
amortization of regulatory assets was recorded in operating and maintenance expense. See Note
3 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. |
|
(b) |
|
Uncollectible accounts expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same periods in 2009 as a result of ComEds increased collection activities. |
|
(c) |
|
On February 2, 2010, the ICC issued an order adopting ComEds proposed tariffs filed in
accordance with Illinois legislation providing public utilities the ability to recover from or
refund to customers the difference between the utilitys annual uncollectible accounts expense
and amounts collected in rates annually through a rider mechanism starting with 2008 and
prospectively. As a result of the ICC order, ComEd recorded a regulatory asset of $70 million
and an offsetting reduction in operating and maintenance expense for the cumulative-under
collections in 2008 and 2009. In addition, ComEd recorded a one time contribution of $10
million associated with this legislation. |
Operating and Maintenance Expense for Regulatory Required Programs
Operating and maintenance expenses for regulatory required programs are costs for various
legislative and/or regulatory programs that are recoverable from customers on a full and current
basis through a reconcilable automatic adjustment clause. An equal and offsetting amount has been
reflected in operating revenues during the period. See Note 3 of the Combined Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to higher plant balances.
Taxes Other Than Income
Taxes other than income taxes decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same periods in 2009 reflecting the accrual of estimated future refunds of Illinois
utility distribution tax recorded in the second quarter of 2010 for the 2008 and 2009 tax years.
Historically, ComEd has recorded refunds of the Illinois utility distribution tax when received.
ComEd believes it now has sufficient, reliable evidence to record and support an estimated
receivable associated with the anticipated refund for the 2008 and 2009 tax years.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the
same periods in 2009 primarily due to $59 million of interest expense associated with the
remeasurement of uncertain income tax positions related to the 1999 sale of ComEds fossil
generating assets recorded in the second quarter of 2010. See Note 9 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other, Net
Other, net decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same
periods in 2009 primarily due to $29 million of interest income recorded in the first quarter of
2009 associated with the 2009 Illinois Supreme Court ruling concerning ComEds claim for refunds
for Illinois investment tax credits, which was reversed in the third quarter of 2009. In addition,
$60 million of interest income was recorded in the second quarter of 2009 for uncertain income tax
positions related to the 1999 sale of ComEds fossil generating assets. These decreases were
partially offset by an other-than-temporary impairment of $7 million recorded to ComEds investment
held in Rabbi trusts during the second quarter of 2009. See Note 10 of the 2009 Form 10-K for
additional information.
115
Effective Income Tax Rate
The effective income tax rate was 93.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
38.6% for the same period during 2009. The effective income tax rate was 63.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to 32.9% for the same period during 2009. The increase in the
effective income tax rate is primarily due to
the remeasurement of uncertain income tax positions recorded in 2009 and 2010 related to the
1999 sale of ComEds fossil generating assets. See Note 9 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.

PECO evaluates its operating performance using the measures of revenue net of purchased power expense for electric sales and revenue net of fuel expense for
gas sales. PECO believes revenue net of purchased power expense and revenue net of fuel expense are useful measurements of its performance because they provide
information that can be used to evaluate its net revenue from operations. PECO has included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information
provided in accordance with GAAP. However, revenue net of purchased power expense and revenue net of fuel expense figures are not a presentation defined under
GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies presentations or more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. |
Net Income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009. PECOs net
income increased due to increased electric revenues net of purchased power expense, which was
partially offset by increased operating expenses and interest expense. The increase in electric
revenues net of purchased power expense reflected increased CTC
recoveries
and favorable weather conditions. PECOs operating expenses increased as a result of higher
scheduled CTC amortization expense and higher storm related costs, which were partially offset by
decreased allowance for uncollectible accounts expense. The increase in interest expense was due to
additional expense recorded related to a change in the measurement of uncertain tax positions in
accordance with accounting guidance. For additional information, see Note 9 of the Combined Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. PECOs net income
decreased due to increased operating expenses and interest expense, which was partially offset by
increased electric revenues net of purchased power expense. PECOs operating expenses increased as
a result of higher scheduled CTC amortization expense and higher storm related costs, which were
partially offset by decreased allowance for uncollectible accounts expense. The increase in
interest expense was due to additional expense recorded related to a change in the measurement of
uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting guidance. For additional information, see

Operating Revenues, Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
There are certain drivers to operating revenue that are offset by their impact on purchased power
expense and fuel expense,
such as commodity procurement costs and customer choice programs. Gas revenues and fuel
expense are affected by fluctuations in natural gas procurement costs. PECOs purchased natural
gas cost rates charged to customers are subject to quarterly adjustments designed to recover or
refund the difference between the actual cost of purchased natural gas and the amount included in
rates in accordance with the PAPUCs PGC. Therefore, fluctuations in natural gas procurement costs
have no impact on gas revenue net of fuel expense. The average purchased gas cost rate per mmcf
was $8.07 and $8.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $8.01 and
$9.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. PECOs electric generation
rates charged to customers are capped until December 31, 2010 in accordance with the 1998
Restructuring Settlement. Under PECOs full requirements PPA with Generation, purchased power
costs are based on the energy component of the rates charged to customers. Electric revenues and
purchased power expense fluctuate in relation to customer class usage as each customer class is
charged a different capped electric generation rate; however, there is no impact on electric
revenue net of purchased power expense.
Electric revenues and purchased power expense are also affected by fluctuations in customer
participation in the customer choice program. All PECO customers have the choice to purchase
energy from a competitive electric generation supplier. A customers choice of electric generation
supplier does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers
related to supplied energy and generation service. The number of retail customers purchasing
energy from a competitive electric generation supplier was 20,900 and 22,800 at June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively, representing 1% and 2% of total retail customers, respectively.
The changes in PECOs operating revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 consisted of the following:

Weather
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
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 winter months are referred to as favorable weather conditions because these
weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather
reduces demand. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, electric revenues net of purchased power
expense were higher due to favorable weather conditions during the second quarter of 2010 in PECOs
service territory. The increase was partially offset by the lower gas revenues net of fuel expense
primarily as a result of unfavorable weather conditions during the winter months in 2010 compared
to 2009.
Heating and cooling degree days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy
needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical
average heating and cooling degree days for a 30-year period in PECOs service territory. The changes in
heating and cooling degree days in PECOs service territory for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Volume
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
Operating revenues net of purchased power and fuel remained relatively level related to delivery
volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same periods in 2009.
CTC Recoveries
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in electric revenues net of purchased power expense as a result of CTC recoveries
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 reflected
increased deliveries as a result of favorable weather conditions and an increase to the CTC
component of the capped generation rates charged to customers, which resulted in a decrease to the
energy component and reduced purchased power expense under the PPA. Due to lower than expected
sales volume in 2009, the CTC increase was necessary to ensure full recovery of stranded costs
during the final year of the transition period that expires on December 31, 2010.
Regulatory Programs Cost Recovery
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.

months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $1 million in costs related to the consumer education
program for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which are recoverable from customers on a
full and current basis through approved regulated rates. An equal and offsetting amount has been
reflected in operating and maintenance for regulatory required programs during the periods.

Interest Expense, Net
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to a change in measurement of uncertain tax positions in
accordance with accounting guidance. See Note 9 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in interest expense due to a reduction of the outstanding debt balance related to PETT as a result
of scheduled principal payments.
Loss in Equity Method Investments

Statements for further information regarding the impact of the consolidation of PETT.
Other, Net

The decrease in other, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same
periods in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in interest income related to uncertain income tax
positions.

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. 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,
ComEd and PECO have access to unsecured revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments
of $957 million, $4.8 billion, $1 billion and $574 million, respectively. The Registrants credit
facilities extend through October 2012 for Exelon, Generation and PECO and March 2013 for ComEd.
Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO utilize their credit facilities to support their commercial
paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings and to issue letters of credit. See the
Credit Matters section below for further discussion. The Registrants expect cash flows to be
sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs and capital expenditure requirements.
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 delayed or limited and where such recovery takes place over an extended
period of time. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of the Registrants debt and credit agreements.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
General
Generations cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric
energy to wholesale customers. Generations future cash flows from operating activities may be
affected by future demand for and market prices of energy and its ability to continue to produce
and supply power at competitive costs as well as to obtain collections from customers. ComEds and
PECOs cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the transmission and distribution
of electricity and, in the case of PECO, gas distribution services to an established and diverse
base of retail customers. ComEds and PECOs future cash flows may be affected by the economy,
weather conditions, future legislative initiatives, future regulatory proceedings with respect to
their rates or operations, and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions. See Notes 3 and
12 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of regulatory
and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The funded status of the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations refers to the
difference between plan assets and estimated obligations of the plan. During 2008, Exelons
unfunded status increased significantly, primarily due to lower than expected 2008 asset returns.
The unfunded balance of the plans decreased to $5.83 billion at December 31, 2009, as compared to
$6.38 billion at December 31, 2008. While a decrease in discount rates and other factors resulted
in an increase in the pension and other postretirement obligation, it was more than offset by the
significant increase in asset values during 2009. Additionally, Exelon made a $350 million
discretionary contribution to its largest pension plan during 2009. The funded status may change
over time due to several factors, including contribution levels, assumed discount rates and actual
returns on plan assets.
The calculation of funding requirements for pension plans requires election of a methodology
to determine the actuarial value of assets and the interest rate used to measure the pension
liabilities. Recent pension funding guidance, including the Worker Retiree and Employer Recovery
Act of 2008 and guidance released in 2009 by the U.S. Treasury Department, has modified some of
those elections and offers some flexibility by providing automatic approval for certain election
changes. Additionally, the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension
Relief Act of 2010 was signed into law on June 25, 2010. Exelon is evaluating this and other
available elective pension funding relief to determine its potential impact on Exelons funding
requirements and strategies.
For financial reporting purposes, the unfunded status of the plans is updated annually, at
December 31. In order to provide additional information about the potential impact of current
financial market conditions on the plans, Exelon has estimated the unfunded status of the pension
and postretirement welfare plans at June 30, 2010 by updating the most significant assumptions
impacting the obligations and assets, which are the discount rate and current years asset
performance. Exelons pension and postretirement benefit plans experienced combined actual asset
returns of approximately (2)% and 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and year ended
December 31, 2009, respectively. Also, the assumed discount rate at June 30, 2010 has decreased 33
basis points since December 31, 2009.
123
Based on these assumptions, Exelon has estimated the unfunded status of the pension and
postretirement welfare plans at June 30, 2010 to be $4,582 million and $2,511 million,
respectively, representing an increase of $939 million and $329 million, respectively, from
December 31, 2009. Exelon has incorporated the estimated reduction in its postretirement welfare
obligation resulting from anticipated cost savings related to prescription drugs but has not
included any impacts that might arise related to the provisions of the Health Care Reform Acts.
Management considers various factors when making funding decisions, including actuarially
determined minimum contribution requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA), as amended, and contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status,
as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for its pension plans. Regulatory requirements and
the amount deductible for income tax purposes are among the factors considered in determining
funding for the other postretirement benefit plans.
Management expects to contribute approximately $954 million to the benefit plans in 2010.
These amounts include an expected incremental contribution to Exelons largest pension plan during
2010 of approximately $500 million, representing an increase compared to the estimate at December
31, 2009. This contribution is expected to reduce the amount and volatility of future required
pension contributions.
Management has estimated future required pension contributions at June 30, 2010, incorporating
the impact of expected 2010 contributions, an assumption for full year 2010 asset returns of 8.5%
and a discount rate of 5.5%. The estimated pension contributions summarized below include ERISA
minimum-required contributions, contributions necessary to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk
status, and payments related to the non-qualified pension plans; these estimates do not include any
discretionary contributions Exelon may elect to make in these future periods or an election to
apply the recent pension funding relief:

In addition to the pension contributions discussed above, the Registrants expect to contribute
an aggregate of approximately $190-222 million annually from 2011 to 2015 to other postretirement
benefit plans. These contributions include amounts required under a PAPUC rate order, certain
discretionary contributions and other payments from corporate assets. Unlike the qualified pension
plans, there are no mandated funding requirements for the postretirement benefit plans other than
to pay claims as incurred and to comply with the rate order mentioned above.
Tax Matters
The Registrants future cash flows from operating activities may be affected by the following
tax matters:
|
|
|
Exelon, through ComEd, has taken certain tax positions to defer the tax gain on
the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. The IRS has disallowed the deferral of
the gain on this sale. As more fully described in Note 9 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, a fully successful IRS challenge to Exelons and
ComEds positions would accelerate income tax payments and increase interest expense
related to the deferred tax gain that becomes currently payable. |
|
|
|
|
Given the current economic environment, state and local governments are facing
increasing financial challenges, which may increase the risk of additional income tax
levies, property taxes and other taxes. |
|
|
|
|
The Senate Finance committee is considering a bill that would extend bonus
depreciation for 2010. The House version of the bill does not contain similar
language. If the Senate bill ultimately gets passed, the cash tax benefits to the
Registrants in 2011 will be substantial. While the estimated cash tax benefits have
not been quantified, the benefit for Exelon in 2009 was approximately $370 million.
|
|
|
|
|
The IRS anticipates issuing guidance by the end of September 2010 on the
appropriate tax treatment of repair costs for transmission and distribution assets.
With the issuance of this guidance, ComEd and PECO will begin gathering the necessary
data to quantify the results and will likely file a request for change in method of tax
accounting for repair costs, which would likely result in a substantial cash benefit.

Changes in Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs cash flows from operations were
generally consistent with changes in each Registrants respective results of operations, as
adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business. In addition, significant
operating cash flow impacts for the Registrants for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
were as follows:
Generation
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Generation had net payments of
counterparty collateral of $(54) million and net collections of counterparty collateral
of $245 million, respectively. Net payments during the six months ended June 30, 2010
were primarily due to market conditions that resulted in unfavorable changes to
Generations net mark-to-market position. Conversely, net collections during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 were primarily due to market conditions that resulted in
favorable changes to Generations net mark-to-market position. Depending upon whether
Generation is in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position, collateral may be
required to be posted or collected from its counterparties. This collateral may be in
various forms, such as cash, which may be obtained through the issuance of commercial
paper, or letters of credit. |
|
|
|
|
During 2007, Generation, along with ComEd and other generators and utilities,
reached an agreement with various representatives from the State of Illinois to address
concerns about higher electric bills in Illinois. Generation committed to contributing
approximately $747 million over four years. As part of the agreement, during the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Generation contributed cash of approximately $10
million and $67 million, respectively. |
125
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Generations accounts
receivable from ComEd for energy purchases related to its supplier forward contract,
ICC-approved RFP contracts and financial swap contract decreased by
$80 million and $68
million, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Generations accounts
receivable from PECO under the PPA increased by $17 million and $55 million,
respectively. |
ComEd
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, ComEds payables to Generation
for energy purchases related to its supplier forward contract, ICC-approved RFP contracts
and financial swap contract decreased by $80 million and $68 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, ComEds payables to other energy
suppliers for energy purchases increased (decreased) by $18 million and $(39) million,
respectively. |
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, ComEd posted $120 million of cash
collateral to PJM. Prior to the second quarter of 2010, ComEd used letters of credit to
cover all PJM collateral requirements. |
PECO
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, PECOs payables to Generation
under the PPA increased by $17 million and $55 million, respectively. During the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, PECOs payables to other energy suppliers for energy
purchases increased (decreased) by $3 million and $(42) million, respectively. |
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, PECOs prepaid utility taxes
increased by $112 million and $129 million, respectively, primarily due to the
Pennsylvania Gross Receipts Tax prepayment in March of each year. |

126
Projected capital expenditures and other investments are subject to periodic review and
revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors.
Generation. Approximately 43% of the projected 2010 capital expenditures at Generation are
for the acquisition of nuclear fuel, with the remaining amounts reflecting additions and upgrades
to existing facilities (including material condition improvements during nuclear refueling
outages). Included in the projected 2010 capital expenditures are a series of planned power uprates
across the companys nuclear fleet. See EXELON CORPORATION Executive Overview, for more
information on nuclear uprates.
ComEd and PECO. Approximately 75% and 82% of the projected 2010 capital expenditures at
ComEd and PECO, respectively, are for continuing projects to maintain and improve company
operations, including enhancing reliability and adding capacity to the transmission and
distribution systems. The remaining amounts are for capital additions to support new business,
customer growth and AMI and Smart Grid technologies. ComEd and PECO are each continuing to evaluate
their total capital spending requirements. ComEd and PECO anticipate that they will fund their
capital expenditures with internally generated funds and borrowings.

Credit Matters
Recent Market Conditions
The Registrants fund liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital, energy
hedging and other financial commitments through cash flows from continuing operations, public debt
offerings, commercial paper markets and large, diversified credit facilities. The credit
facilities include $7.4 billion in aggregate total commitments of which $6.9 billion was available
as of June 30, 2010, and of which no financial institution has more than 9% of the aggregate
commitments. Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO had access to the commercial paper market during
the second quarter of 2010. Due to an upgrade in ComEds commercial paper rating last year and
improvements in the commercial paper market, ComEd has been able to rely on the commercial paper
market as a source of liquidity. The Registrants routinely review the sufficiency of their
liquidity position, including appropriate sizing of credit facility commitments, by performing
various stress test scenarios, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related
transactions, changes in hedging levels and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades. The
Registrants have continued to closely monitor events in the financial markets and the financial
institutions associated with the credit facilities, including monitoring credit ratings and
outlooks, credit default swap levels, capital raising and merger activity. See PART I. ITEM 1A Risk
Factors of Exelons 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the effects
of a uncertainty in the capital and credit markets or significant bank failures.
The Registrants believe their cash flow from operations, access to credit markets and their
credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity. If Generation lost its investment grade credit
rating as of June 30, 2010, it would have been required to provide incremental collateral of
approximately $1,206 million, which is well within its current available credit facility capacities
of approximately $4.6 billion. The $1,206 million includes $994 million of collateral obligations
for derivatives, non-derivatives, normal purchase normal sales contracts and applicable payable and
receivables, net of the contractual right of offset under master netting agreements and $212
million of financial assurances that Generation would be required to provide Nuclear Electric
Insurance Limited related to annual retrospective premium obligations. If ComEd lost its investment
grade credit rating as of June 30, 2010, it would have been required to provide incremental
collateral of approximately $233 million, which is well within its current available credit
facility capacity of approximately $515 million, which takes into account commercial paper
borrowings as of June 30, 2010. If PECO lost its investment grade credit rating as of June 30,
2010, it would have been required to provide collateral of $6 million pursuant to PJMs credit
policy and could have been required to provide collateral of approximately $46 million related to
its natural gas procurement contracts, which is well within PECOs current available credit
facility capacity of $571 million.
Exelon Credit Facilities
Exelon meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of
commercial paper. Generation and PECO meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily
through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the intercompany money pool, and ComEd
meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and
borrowings under its credit facility. The Registrants may use their respective credit facilities
for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance
of letters of credit. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the Registrants credit facilities.
On March 25, 2010, ComEd replaced its $952 million credit facility with a new three-year $1
billion unsecured revolving credit facility that extends to March 25, 2013. Twenty-two banks have
commitments in the credit facility. The fees associated with the facility have increased from the
fees under the prior facility reflecting current market pricing.

In order to maintain their respective commercial paper programs in the amounts
indicated above, each Registrant must have revolving credit facilities in place at least equal to
the amount of its commercial paper program. While the amount of its commercial paper outstanding
does not reduce available capacity under a Registrants credit agreement, a Registrant does not
issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the available capacity under its credit
agreement.

Excludes $67 million of credit facility agreements arranged with minority and community banks
in October 2009, which are solely utilized to issue letters of credit and expire on October
23, 2010. |
Borrowings under each credit agreement may bear interest at a rate that floats daily
based upon a prime rate or at a rate fixed for a specified interest period based upon a LIBOR-based
rate. Under the Exelon, Generation and PECO agreements, an adder of up to 65 basis points may be
added to the LIBOR-based rate, based upon the credit rating of the borrower. Under the ComEd
agreement, adders of up to 137.5 basis points for prime-based borrowings and 237.5 basis points for
LIBOR-based borrowings may be added based upon ComEds credit rating. As of June 30, 2010, ComEd
did not have any borrowings under its credit facility.
Each credit agreement requires the affected borrower 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 interest coverage ratios exclude revenues and interest expenses attributable to
securitization debt, certain changes in working capital, distributions on preferred securities of
subsidiaries and interest on nonrecourse debt. The following table summarizes the minimum
thresholds reflected in the credit agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

An event of default under any Registrants credit facility will not constitute an event of
default under any of the other Registrants credit facilities, except that a bankruptcy or other
event of default in the payment of principal, premium or interest on any indebtedness having a
principal amount in excess of $100 million in the aggregate by Generation (including Generations
credit facility) will constitute an event of default under the Exelon credit facility.
Security Ratings
The Registrants access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and
their respective financing costs in those markets, may depend on the securities ratings of the
entity that is accessing the capital markets.
None of the Registrants borrowings are subject to default or prepayment as a result of a
downgrading of securities although such a downgrading of a Registrants securities could increase
fees and interest charges under that Registrants credit agreements.
As part of the normal course of business, the Registrants enter into contracts that contain
express provisions or otherwise permit the Registrants and their 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 the Registrants are downgraded by a credit rating
agency, 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, which could include the posting of
collateral. Refer to Note 6 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on collateral provisions.
The disclosures contained under this Security Ratings section (other than the following
paragraph discussing the Intercompany Money Pool) supersede and replace the disclosures contained
under (i) Liquidity and Capital Resources Credit Matters Security Ratings (other than the

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. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the
money pool by participant during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are presented in the following

Variable-Rate Debt
Under the terms of ComEds variable-rate tax-exempt debt agreements, ComEd may be required to
repurchase any outstanding debt before its stated maturity unless supported by sufficient letters
of credit. If ComEd was required to repurchase the debt, it would reassess its options to obtain
new letters of credit or remarket the bonds in a manner that does not require letter of credit
support. ComEd has classified amounts outstanding under these debt agreements based on
managements intent and ability to renew or replace the letters of credit, refinance the debt at
reasonable terms on a long-term fixed-rate basis or utilize the capacity under existing long-term
credit facilities.
Generation had letter of credit facilities that expired during the second quarter of 2010,
which were used to enhance the credit of variable-rate long-term tax-exempt debt totalling $212
million, with maturities ranging from 2016 2034. Generation repurchased the $212 million of
tax-exempt debt during June 2010. Generation has the ability to remarket these bonds whenever it
determines it to be economically advantageous. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Registrants variable rate debt.
Investments in Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds
Exelon and Generation maintain trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund certain costs of
decommissioning Generations nuclear plants. The mix of securities in the trust funds is designed
to provide returns to be used to fund decommissioning and to offset inflationary increases in
decommissioning costs; however, the equity securities in the trust funds are exposed to price
fluctuations in equity markets, and the values 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 allocations in accordance with Generations NDT fund
investment policy. With regards to equity securities, Generations investment policy establishes
limits on the concentration of equity holdings in any one company and also in any one industry.
With regards to its fixed-income securities, Generations investment policy limits the
concentrations of the types of bonds that may be purchased for the trust funds and also requires a
minimum percentage of the portfolio to have investment grade ratings (minimum credit quality
ratings of Baa3 by Moodys, BBB- by S&P and BBB- by Fitch Ratings) while requiring that the
overall portfolio maintain a minimum credit quality rating of A2. Note 10 of the Combined Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the trust funds, the
NRCs minimum funding requirements and related liquidity ramifications.
Shelf Registration Statements
Each of the Registrants each have current shelf registration statements effective with the SEC
that provide for the sale of unspecified amounts of securities. The ability of each Registrant to
sell securities off its shelf registration statement 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, as applicable, the current financial condition of the company, its securities
ratings and market conditions.
Regulatory Authorizations
As of June 30, 2010, ComEd had $789 million available in long-term debt refinancing authority
and $1,407 million available in new money long-term debt financing authority from the ICC, and PECO
had $1.9 billion in long-term debt financing authority from the PAPUC.
As of June 30, 2010, ComEd and PECO had short-term financing authority from FERC that expires
on December 31, 2011 of $2.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
131
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments
and commercial commitments triggered by future events. See Note 12 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Registrants commitments.
Generation, ComEd and PECO have obligations related to contracts for the purchase of power and
fuel supplies, and ComEd and PECO have obligations related to their financing trusts. The power
and fuel purchase contracts and the financing trusts have been considered for consolidation in the
Registrants respective financial statements pursuant to the authoritative guidance for VIEs. See
Note 1 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

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 of $4.8 billion that
Generation currently utilizes to support its commercial paper program and to issue letters of
credit.
See the EXELON CORPORATIONLiquidity and Capital Resources of this Form 10-Q 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

Item 3. |
|
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 RMC approves risk
management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit
approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The RMC is chaired by the chief risk
officer and includes the chief financial officer, general counsel, treasurer, vice president of
strategy, vice president of audit services and officers representing Exelons business units. The
RMC reports to the Exelon Board of Directors on the scope of the risk management activities. The
following discussion serves as an update to Item 7A-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk of the Registrants 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference.
Commodity Price Risk (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Commodity price risk is associated with price movements resulting from changes in supply and
demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather conditions, governmental regulatory and environmental
policies, and other factors. 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.
Exelon seeks to mitigate its commodity price risk through the purchase and sale of electricity,
fossil fuel, and other commodities.
Generation
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 load, 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. Generation believes these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure
to fluctuations in commodity prices. Generation expects the settlement of the majority of its
economic hedges will occur during 2010 through 2012 and the ComEd financial swap contract during
2010 through 2013. Generations energy contracts are accounted for under the accounting guidance
for derivatives as further discussed in Note 6 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative
impact, respectively, on Generations owned and contracted generation positions which have not been
hedged. Generation hedges commodity risk on a ratable basis over the three years leading to the
spot market. As of June 30, 2010, the percentage of expected generation hedged was 96%-99%,
86%-89%, and 57%-60% for 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The percentage of expected generation
hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation. Expected generation
represents the amount of energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted
capacity. Equivalent sales represent all hedging products, which include cash flow hedges, other
derivatives and certain non-derivative contracts including sales to ComEd and PECO to serve their
retail load.
A portion of Generations hedging strategy may be accomplished with fuel products based on
assumed correlations between power and fuel prices, which routinely change in the market. Market
price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of unhedged positions. The forecasted
market price risk exposure for Generations non-trading portfolio associated with a $5 reduction in
the annual average Ni-Hub and PJM-West around-the-clock energy price based on June 30, 2010 market
conditions and hedged position would be a decrease in pre-tax net income of approximately
$9 million, $92 million and $333 million, respectively, for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Power prices
sensitivities are derived by adjusting power price assumptions while keeping all other price inputs
constant. Generation expects to actively manage its portfolio to mitigate market price risk
exposure for its unhedged position. 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 also enters into certain energy-related
derivatives for proprietary trading purposes. 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 RMC. The trading portfolio is subject to a risk management policy
that includes stringent risk management limits, including volume, stop loss and Value-at-Risk (VaR)
limits to manage exposure to market risk. Additionally, the Exelon risk management group and
Exelons RMC monitor the financial risks of the proprietary trading activities. The proprietary
trading activities, which included physical volumes of 889 GWhs and 1,808 GWhs for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and 2,003 GWhs and 4,334 GWhs for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, are a complement to Generations energy marketing
portfolio but represent a small portion of
Generations overall revenue from energy marketing activities. Trading portfolio activity for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in pre-tax gains of $25 million due to net
mark-to-market gains of $14 million and realized gains of $11 million. Generation uses a 95%
confidence interval, one day holding period, one-tailed statistical measure in calculating its VaR.
The daily VaR on proprietary trading activity averaged $120,000 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, 2010
of $3,276 million, Generation has not segregated proprietary trading activity in the following
tables.
136
Fuel Procurement. Generation procures coal and natural gas through long-term and short-term
contracts, and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained primarily 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. Approximately 57% of Generations uranium
concentrate requirements from 2010 through 2014 are supplied by three producers. In the event of
non-performance by these or other suppliers, Generation believes that replacement uranium
concentrates can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when compared to the
prices under the current supply agreements. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a
material impact on Exelons and Generations results of operations, cash flows and financial
positions. See Note 12 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding uranium and coal supply agreement matters.
ComEd
The five-year financial swap contract between Generation and ComEd was deemed prudent by the
Illinois Settlement Legislation, thereby ensuring that ComEd will be entitled to receive full cost
recovery in rates.
The contracts that ComEd has entered into as part of the initial ComEd auction and the RFP
contracts are deemed to be derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase and normal sales
exception under derivative accounting guidance. ComEd does not enter into derivatives for
speculative or proprietary trading purposes.
For additional information on these contracts, see Note 6 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
PECO
Generation and PECO have entered into a long-term full-requirements PPA under which PECO
obtains all of its electric supply from Generation through 2010. The PPA is not considered a
derivative. Pursuant to PECOs PAPUC-approved DSP Program, PECO began to procure electric supply
for default service customers in June 2009 for the post-transition period beginning on January 1,
2011 through block contracts and full requirements fixed price contracts. PECOs full requirements
fixed price contracts and block contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope
exception. Under the DSP Program, PECO is permitted to recover its electricity procurement costs
from retail customers without mark-up.
PECO has also entered into derivative natural gas contracts to hedge its long-term price risk
in the natural gas market. PECO does not enter into derivatives for speculative or proprietary
trading purposes. The hedging program for natural gas procurement has no direct impact on PECOs
financial position or results of operations as natural gas costs are fully recovered from customers
under the PGC.
For additional information on these contracts, see Note 6 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Trading and Non-Trading Marketing Activities.
The following detailed presentation of Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs trading and
non-trading marketing activities is included to address the recommended disclosures by the energy
industrys Committee of Chief Risk Officers (CCRO).
137
The following table provides detail on changes in Exelons, Generations, ComEds and PECOs
mark-to-market net asset or liability balance sheet position from December 31, 2009 to June 30,
2010. 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 OCI to
earnings and changes in fair value for the hedging activities that are recorded in accumulated OCI
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This table excludes all normal purchase and normal sales
contracts. For additional information on the cash flow hedge gains and losses included within
accumulated OCI and the balance sheet classification of the mark-to-market energy contract net
assets (liabilities) recorded as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 refer to Note 6 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Values
The following table present maturity and source of fair value of the Registrants
mark-to-market energy contract net assets (liabilities). The tables provide two fundamental pieces
of information. First, the tables provide the source of fair value used in determining the carrying
amount of the Registrants total mark-to-market net assets
(liabilities). Second, the tables show the maturity, by year, of the Registrants energy
contract net assets (liabilities), giving an indication of when these mark-to-market amounts will
settle and either generate or require cash. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements and the fair
value hierarchy.

Credit Risk, Collateral, and Contingent Related Features (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
The Registrants are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by
counterparties with whom they that enter into derivative instruments. The credit exposure of
derivative contracts, before collateral and netting, is represented by the fair value of contracts
at the reporting date. See Note 6 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a
detail discussion of credit risk, collateral, and contingent related features.
Generation
The following tables provide information on Generations credit exposure for all derivative
instruments, normal purchase normal sales agreements, and applicable payables and receivables, net
of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of June 30, 2010.
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
duration of a companys credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. The figures in the
tables below do not include credit risk exposure from uranium procurement contracts or exposure
through RTOs, ISOs and NYMEX and ICE commodity exchanges, which are discussed below. Additionally,
the figures in the tables below do not include exposures with affiliates, including net receivables
with ComEd and PECO of $44 million and $194 million, respectively. See Note 21 of the 2009 Form
10-K for further information.

ComEd
There have been no significant changes or additions to ComEds exposures to credit risk that
are described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Exelons 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
See Note 3 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding ComEds recently approved tariffs to adjust rates annually through a rider mechanism to
reflect increases or decreases in annual uncollectible accounts expense.
PECO
There have been no significant changes or additions to PECOs exposures to credit risk,
including that PECO could be negatively affected if Generation could not perform under the PPA,
that are described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Exelons 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
See Note 6 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding credit exposure to suppliers.
Collateral (Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Generation
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.
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. In order to post collateral, Exelon depends on access to bank
credit lines which serve as liquidity sources to fund collateral requirements. Since the banking
industry issues started to surface in mid-2007, credit markets have tightened. Exelon will be
required to renew most of its credit facilities in the 2011-2012 timeframe. The cost and
availability to renew may be substantially different than when Exelon originally negotiated the
existing liquidity facilities.
141
As of June 30, 2010, Generation had no cash collateral deposit payments being held by
counterparties and Generation was holding $899 million of cash collateral deposits received from
counterparties, of which $898 million of cash collateral deposits was offset against mark-to-market
assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2010, $1 million of cash collateral received were not
offset against net derivatives positions, because they were not associated with energy-related
derivatives. See Note 12 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
information regarding the letters of credit supporting the cash collateral.
ComEd
As of June 30, 2010, there was an immaterial amount of cash collateral and letters of credit
posted by energy suppliers to ComEd associated with energy procurement contracts.
PECO
As of June 30, 2010, PECO was not required to post collateral under its energy and natural gas
procurement contracts. Refer to Note 6 Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion.
RTOs and ISOs (Exelon, Generation, ComEd and PECO)
Generation, ComEd and PECO participate in all, or some, of the 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 the Registrants results of operations, cash flows and financial
positions.
Exchange Traded Transactions (Exelon and Generation)
Generation enters into commodity transactions on NYMEX and ICE. The NYMEX and ICE
clearinghouse acts as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on NYMEX and ICE must adhere to
comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. As a result, transactions on NYMEX and ICE are
significantly collateralized and have limited counterparty credit risk.
Direct Financing Leases (Exelon)
Exelons consolidated balance sheets, as of June 30, 2010, included a $615 million net
investment in direct financing leases. The investment in direct financing leases represents the
estimated residual value of leased assets at the end of the respective lease terms of $1.5 billion,
less unearned income of $877 million. The lease agreements provide the lessees with fixed purchase
options at the end of the lease terms. If the lessees do not exercise the fixed purchase options,
Exelon has the ability to require the lessees to return the leasehold interests or to arrange a
service contract with a third party for a period following the lease term. If Exelon chooses the
service contract option, the leasehold interests will be returned to Exelon at the end of the term
of the service contract. In any event, Exelon will be subject to residual value risk if the lessees
do not exercise the fixed purchase options. Lessee performance under the lease agreements is
supported by collateral and credit enhancement measures including letters of credit, surety bonds
and credit swaps. Management regularly evaluates the credit worthiness of Exelons counterparties
to these direct financing leases. During 2008 and 2009, the entity providing the credit enhancement
for one of the lessees did not meet the credit rating requirements of the lease. Consequently,
Exelon has indefinitely extended a waiver and reduction of the rating requirement, which Exelon may
terminate by giving 90 days notice to the lessee.
142
Interest Rate Risk (Exelon, Generation and ComEd)
The Registrants use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage 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, 2010, Exelon had $100 million of notional amounts of
fair value hedges outstanding. At June 30, 2010, ComEd had $300 million of notional amounts of
cash flow hedges outstanding. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates associated with
variable-rate debt would result in less than $1 million decrease in Exelons, Generations and
ComEds pre-tax earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This calculation holds all other
variable constant and assumes only the discussed changes in interest rates.
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, 2010, 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 NDT fund investment policy. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest
rates and decrease in equity prices would result in a $369 million reduction in the fair value of
the trust assets. This calculation holds all other variables constant and assumes only the
discussed changes in interest rates and equity prices. See Item 2, Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for further discussion of equity price
risk as a result of the current capital and credit market conditions.

Controls and Procedures |
During the second quarter of 2010, 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, 2010, 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 2010 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Exelons internal control over financial reporting.

Item 4T. |
|
Controls and Procedures |
During the second quarter of 2010, 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 each of 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 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, 2010, the principal executive officer and principal financial
officer of each 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 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, each of Generations, ComEds and PECOs internal control over financial reporting.
