COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise
noted)
|
|
1. |
Basis of Presentation (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) |
Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is a utility services holding
company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the energy
delivery and wholesale generation businesses discussed below
(see Note 15 — Segment Information). The energy
delivery businesses (Energy Delivery) include the purchase and
regulated retail sale of electricity and distribution and
transmission services by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in
northern Illinois and PECO Energy Company (PECO) in
southeastern Pennsylvania and the purchase and retail sale of
natural gas and related distribution services by PECO in the
Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. The
generation business consists principally of the electric
generating facilities and wholesale energy marketing operations
of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), the competitive
retail sales business of Exelon Energy Company (Exelon Energy)
and certain other generation projects. Exelon sold or wound down
substantially all components of Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC
(Enterprises) in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of
January 1, 2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a
segment.
The consolidated financial statements of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and
Generation (collectively, the Registrants) each include the
accounts of entities in which it has a controlling financial
interest, other than certain financing trusts of ComEd and PECO,
and its proportionate interests in jointly owned utility plants,
after the elimination of intercompany transactions. A
controlling financial interest is evidenced by either a voting
interest greater than 50% or a risk and rewards model that
identifies the registrant as the primary beneficiary of the
variable interest entity. Investments and joint ventures in
which Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation do not have a
controlling financial interest and certain financing trusts of
ComEd and PECO are accounted for under the equity or cost
methods of accounting.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. (FIN) 46 (revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”
(FIN 46-R), Exelon and Generation consolidated Sithe
Energies, Inc. (Sithe), formerly a 50% owned subsidiary of
Generation, as of March 31, 2004 and recorded income of
$32 million (net of income taxes) as a result of the
elimination of a guarantee of Sithe’s commitments
previously recorded by Generation. This income was reported as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
first quarter of 2004. Generation sold its interest in Sithe on
January 31, 2005. See Note 4 — Acquisitions
and Dispositions for additional information.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the three and nine
months then ended are unaudited but, in the opinion of the
management of each of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation,
include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair
presentation of its respective financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). All adjustments are of a
normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The
December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheets were taken
from audited financial statements. These combined notes to
consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures
required by GAAP. Certain prior-year amounts have been
reclassified for comparative purposes. These reclassifications
had no effect on net income. These notes should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation included in ITEM 8 of
their 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Exelon’s and
Generation’s Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast the December 31, 2004 and previous financial
statements for the presentation of certain businesses as
discontinued operations within the Consolidated Statements of
Income contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and a change in the reportable
segments in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Discontinued Operations (Exelon and Generation) |
As discussed in Note 4 — Acquisitions and
Dispositions, on January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of
Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in
Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition,
during 2003 and 2004, Exelon sold or wound down substantially
all components of Enterprises, and Generation sold or wound down
substantially all components of AllEnergy Gas &
Electric Marketing LLC (AllEnergy), a business within Exelon
Energy. As a result, the results of operations and any gain or
loss on the sale of these entities are presented as discontinued
operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 within Exelon’s (for Sithe,
AllEnergy and Enterprises) and Generation’s (for Sithe and
AllEnergy) Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive
Income. In addition, the results of operations of these entities
have been presented as discontinued operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2004 for comparative
purposes. Results related to these entities were as follows:

In accordance with FIN 46-R, Exelon and Generation
consolidated Sithe, formerly a 50% owned subsidiary of
Generation, as of March 31, 2004. As Sithe was a
nonconsolidated subsidiary during the three months ended
March 31, 2004, Sithe’s results of operations are not
included in discontinued operations for that period. See
Note 1 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further information regarding the adoption of FIN 46-R and
resulting consolidation of Sithe. |

New Accounting Pronouncements (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and
Generation) |
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) reached a consensus on and the FASB ratified EITF
Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”
(EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 provides guidance on
recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of investment
securities. Exelon has adopted the disclosure requirements of
EITF 03-1 for investments accounted for under FASB
Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities” (SFAS No. 115). On
September 30, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) EITF 03-1-1, “Effective Date of
Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, ‘The Meaning
of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to
Certain Investments,”’ which delayed the effective
date of the application guidance on impairment of securities
included within EITF 03-1. The FASB, at its June 29,
2005 Board meeting, withdrew its guidance on when an impairment
is other than temporary. However, EITF 03-1’s
provisions regarding the measurement, disclosure and
post-impairment accounting guidance of debt securities, as well
as the identification of impaired cost method investments remain
intact. Additionally, the existing guidance under
SFAS No. 115 remains in effect.
In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151,
“Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151),
which is the result of its efforts to converge
U.S. accounting standards for inventories with
International Accounting Standards. SFAS No. 151
requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material or spoilage to be recognized
as current-period charges. It also requires the allocation of
fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based
on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
The Registrants are assessing the impact SFAS No. 151
will have on their consolidated financial statements in 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123
(revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”
(SFAS No. 123-R). SFAS No. 123-R replaces
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued
29
EXELON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
to Employees” (APB No. 25). SFAS No. 123-R
requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That
cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or
liability instruments issued. Exelon will no longer be permitted
to follow the intrinsic value accounting method of APB
No. 25, which resulted in no expense being recorded for
stock option grants for which the strike price was equal to the
fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Exelon
has elected not to early adopt SFAS No. 123-R. In
April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) approved a rule that delayed the effective date of
SFAS No. 123-R for public companies. As a result,
SFAS No. 123-R will be effective for Exelon in the
first quarter of 2006 and will apply to all of Exelon’s
outstanding unvested share-based payment awards as of
January 1, 2006 and all prospective awards.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 107 which expressed the views of the SEC
regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123-R and
certain SEC rules and regulations. SAB No. 107
provides guidance related to the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies, including assumptions
such as expected volatility and expected term. Exelon is
assessing the impact SFAS No. 123-R and
SAB No. 107 will have on its consolidated financial
statements and which of the two remaining available transition
methods allowed by SFAS No. 123-R will be elected.
Exelon currently accounts for its stock-based compensation plans
under the intrinsic method prescribed by APB No. 25 and
related interpretations and follows the disclosure requirements
of SFAS No. 123 and FASB Statement No. 148,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation —
Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, compensation expense
for stock options recognized within the Consolidated Statements
of Income and Comprehensive Income was insignificant for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004. The tables below show the effect on net income and
earnings per share for Exelon had Exelon elected to account for

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The net income of ComEd, PECO and Generation for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would not
have been significantly affected had Exelon elected to account
for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair-value
method under SFAS No. 123.
Exelon recognizes compensation cost related to stock-based
awards issued to retirement eligible employees that fully vest
upon an employee’s retirement over the nominal vesting
period of performance and recognizes any remaining compensation
cost at the date of retirement. Upon the adoption of
SFAS No. 123-R, Exelon will be required to recognize
the entire compensation cost at the grant date of new
stock-based awards in which retirement-eligible employees are
fully vested upon issuance (the non-substantive vesting
approach). Had Exelon accounted for its stock-based awards in
which retirement-eligible employees are fully vested upon
issuance using the non-substantive vesting approach, stock-based
compensation expense would have been $2 million and
$1 million lower for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$1 million and $2 million higher for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, than
reflected in the table above.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153,
“Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB
Opinion No. 29, ’Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions”’ (SFAS No. 153). Previously,
APB Opinion No. 29 had required that the accounting for an
exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or
an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset
should be based on the recorded amount of the asset
relinquished. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are
based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow
exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets
and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of
nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance, in
essence increasing the number of exchanges that will be fair
valued in the future. SFAS No. 153 was effective for
the Registrants in the third quarter of 2005. The provisions of
SFAS No. 153 are applied prospectively. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Registrants’ financial condition and results of operations
in the third quarter of 2005.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, “Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47)
which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement
obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143,
“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”
(SFAS No. 143), refers to a legal obligation to
perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or
method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may
or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47
requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value
of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value
of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 will
be effective for the Registrants in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The Registrants are assessing the impact of FIN 47, which
could be material to the financial condition and results of
operations of the Registrants.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154,
“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”
(SFAS No. 154). Previously, APB Opinion No. 20,
“Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3,
“Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements” required the inclusion of the cumulative effect
of changes in accounting

principle in net income of the period of the change.
SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize a change
in accounting principle, including a change required by a new
accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior
periods’ financial statements. The Registrants will assess
the impact of a retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No. 154
when such a change arises after the effective date of
January 1, 2006.

Acquisitions and Dispositions (Exelon and Generation) |
|
|
|
Proposed Merger with PSEG (Exelon) |
On December 20, 2004, Exelon entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with Public Service Enterprise
Group Incorporated (PSEG), a holding company engaged through its
subsidiaries in electric and gas utility businesses primarily
located and serving customers in New Jersey, whereby PSEG will
be merged with and into Exelon (Merger).
During the first quarter of 2005, Exelon filed petitions or
applications for approval of the Merger with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Federal Power Act,
the United States Department of Justice under the Hart Scott
Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission (PAPUC), the New Jersey Board of
Public Utilities (NJBPU), the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC), the New York Public Service Commission, the
Connecticut Siting Council, the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the SEC under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA). On
October 25, 2005, Exelon and PSEG filed an application with
the Public Utility Commission of Texas under the Texas Public
Utility Regulatory Act. Other state and Federal agencies will
have a role in reviewing various aspects of the transaction.
Exelon expects to make these remaining filings in 2005.
Approval of the Connecticut Siting Council was received on
March 16, 2005. ComEd filed a notice of the Merger with the
Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the ICC’s
general counsel confirmed that its formal approval of the Merger
is not required.
On June 30, 2005, the FERC approved the Merger without a
hearing. Exelon and PSEG proposed in their application with the
FERC, and FERC approved, a market concentration mitigation plan
involving the divestiture of 4,000 MW of coal, mid-merit
(or intermediate) and peaking generation in the PJM region and
the ongoing auction of 2,600 MW of nuclear output. Exelon
and PSEG also proposed to invest a total of $25 million in
transmission improvements, which was included in the proposal
that was accepted by FERC. The ultimate outcome of the market
concentration mitigation is dependent upon various factors,
including the market conditions and buyer interest at the time
the units and the nuclear output are offered for sale. The
results of these activities, therefore, are not assured, and
could have a material impact on the results of operations and
cash flows of Exelon and Generation if the sales price for these
units is different from management’s expectations. The FERC
is considering petitions for rehearing with respect to the order
approving the Merger and an order on the petitions is
anticipated before December 2005.
PSEG shareholders approved the Merger on July 19, 2005.
Exelon shareholders approved the issuance of Exelon shares
pursuant to the Merger on July 22, 2005.
Various governmental, consumer and other parties have intervened
in the proceedings before the NJBPU, the PAPUC and other
regulatory bodies. To facilitate approval of the Merger, Exelon
may negotiate with these parties and may enter into settlement
agreements. Orders resulting from the proceedings before the
NJBPU, the PAPUC and other regulatory bodies and settlements in
connection with the proceedings could,

for example, affect the extent to which Exelon and its
subsidiaries may benefit from expected synergies following the
Merger and could be materially different from what the
Registrants expect in this and other respects, and could have a
material impact on the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of the Registrants if the Merger is
completed. On September 13, 2005, PECO and certain
intervenors in the PAPUC filing entered into a partial
settlement. See Note 5 — Regulatory Issues for
further discussion related to the partial settlement.
On September 12, 2005, the administrative law judge in the
proceeding before the PAPUC issued a seventh prehearing order
establishing a modified timetable for the regulatory approval
process in Pennsylvania. The modified timetable permits parties
to comment on PECO’s proposed partial settlement and
unresolved issues under the partial settlement. It is
anticipated that the administrative law judge may issue an
initial decision earlier than the previously expected date of
mid-December 2005. Thereafter, the full PAPUC will vote on the
case possibly before the end of 2005.
On September 30, 2005, the administrative law judge in the
proceeding before the NJBPU amended a prior prehearing order to
modify the timetable for the regulatory approval process in New
Jersey. The revised procedural schedule for the Merger review
calls for testimony to be filed from mid-November to
mid-December and for hearings in January 2006. Settlement
discussions are scheduled for December and January. Aside from
the possibility of an earlier settlement, scheduled dates for
the administrative law judge to issue an initial decision and
final order from the full NJBPU remain March 30, 2006 and
May 15, 2006, respectively.
The regulatory and political developments in Illinois (see
Note 5 — Regulatory Issues) may also have an
effect on the settlement discussions and proceedings before the
NJBPU and the PAPUC and could delay those regulatory approvals.
Some possible outcomes of the developments in Illinois could
also have an effect on the timing or the closing conditions to
the Merger.
Exelon has capitalized certain external costs associated with
the Merger since the execution of the Merger Agreement on
December 20, 2004. Total capitalized costs of
$41 million at September 30, 2005 are included in
deferred debits and other assets on Exelon’s Consolidated
Balance Sheets. See Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in

Form 10-K for further information regarding the proposed
Merger.

Sithe (Exelon and Generation) |
On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale
of its investment in Sithe. Specifically, subsidiaries of
Generation closed on the acquisition of Reservoir Capital
Group’s 50% interest in Sithe and the sale of 100% of Sithe
to Dynegy, Inc. (Dynegy). Prior to closing on the sale to
Dynegy, subsidiaries of Generation received approximately
$65 million in cash distributions from Sithe. As a result
of the sale, Exelon and Generation deconsolidated approximately
$820 million of debt from their balance sheets and were
released from approximately $125 million of credit support.
Dynegy acquired $32 million of cash as part of the sale of
Sithe. Additionally, Exelon and Generation recorded
$55 million of liabilities related to certain
indemnifications provided to Dynegy and other liabilities
directly resulting from the transaction. During the three months
ended September 30, 2005, Exelon and Generation recorded a
$2 million decrease in such liabilities as a result of the
expiration of certain tax indemnifications. These liabilities
were taken into account in the determination of the net gain on
the sale of $21 million (before income taxes). See

contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for further historical information
regarding Generation’s investment in Sithe.
Generation issued certain guarantees associated with income tax
indemnifications to Dynegy in connection with the sale which
were valued at approximately $8 million. These guarantees
are being accounted for under the provisions of FIN 45,
“Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to
Others” (FIN 45). The exposures covered by these
indemnities are anticipated to expire in the second half of 2005
and beyond. Generation also recorded additional liabilities
associated with the sale transaction totaling $47 million.
The estimated maximum possible exposure to Generation related to
the guarantees provided as part of the sales transaction to
Dynegy is approximately $175 million.
Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months

Regulatory Issues (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) |
Illinois Procurement Filing. In 2004, the ICC initiated
and conducted a workshop process to consider issues related to
retail electric service in the post-transition period (i.e.,
post-2006). Issues addressed included utility wholesale
generation supply procurement methodology, rates, competition
and utility service obligations and energy assistance programs.
All interested parties were invited to participate. The end
result was a report from the ICC to the Illinois General
Assembly that was generally supportive of utilities
competitively procuring generation supply through a
reverse-auction process with full recovery of the supply costs
from retail customers while being mindful of consumer
protections. In the proposed reverse-auction model, qualified
energy suppliers would compete in a transparent, fair and
structured auction to provide energy to the utilities and their
customers; winning bidders would provide the power needed at the
price determined by the auction’s results; and the
utilities would make no profit on the energy but would fully
recover from customers the cost of procurement. The ICC staff
and an auction manager would oversee the entire process to
assure a fair bidding process.
On February 25, 2005, ComEd filed with the ICC seeking
regulatory approval of tariffs that implement the methodologies
supported by the report, including a proposal consistent with
the reverse-auction process described above (the Procurement
Case). As requested by ComEd, the ICC initiated hearings on the
matter. The Illinois Attorney General, Citizens’ Utility
Board (CUB), Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and
the Environmental Law and Public Policy Center subsequently
filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding arguing that customers
whose retail service has not been declared competitive are
entitled to cost-based rates for power and its delivery and that
the ICC lacked authority to approve rates based on the market
value of power, as proposed by ComEd. On June 1, 2005 the
Administrative Law Judge denied the motion and, on July 13,
2005, the ICC denied the appeal. The ICC’s final order on
the Procurement Case is expected by January 24, 2006,
subject to the resolution of the Procurement Litigation
described in the following paragraph. In the

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
interim, the Governor of Illinois sent a letter to the ICC on
August 31, 2005 (the Governor’s Letter) expressing his
opposition to the energy procurement process proposed in the
Procurement Case. The Governor asserted that the ICC should not
approve a procurement process that might result in higher rates
until the residential market is declared competitive. ComEd has
responded to the Governor’s Letter expressing concerns with
the positions taken in that letter and will continue to pursue
the Procurement Case as filed.
On September 1, 2005, the Illinois Attorney General, the
Cook County State’s Attorney, CUB and the Environmental Law
and Public Policy Center filed a two-count complaint in the
Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County against
the ICC and the individual ICC commissioners (the Procurement
Litigation). The Procurement Litigation seeks to block the ICC
from approving the Procurement Case on the theory that the ICC
lacked the authority to approve the rates because not all of the
services that will be provided under the Procurement Case have
been declared competitive and do not qualify for market-based
rates. The legal argument underlying the Procurement Litigation
is substantially similar to the legal argument that was
presented to the Administrative Law Judge, and to the ICC on
appeal, and rejected by both, in the third quarter of 2005.
ComEd has intervened in the Procurement Litigation to deny the
allegations in the complaint and seek a determination that the
ICC has appropriate legal authority to approve the proposed
electricity procurement process pending before the ICC in the
Procurement Case. ComEd has moved for summary judgment in the
litigation, and the ICC has moved to dismiss one claim in the
litigation and for summary judgment on the other claim. A
hearing on ComEd’s motion is scheduled for
December 14, 2005. The Illinois General Assembly has held
hearings concerning generation procurement post-2006, and it may
choose to take further action on this issue.
On September 21, 2005, the Governor appointed the former
Executive Director of CUB, Mr. Martin R. Cohen, as the
Chairman of the ICC. Ratification of the appointment is pending
Illinois Senate approval. On October 5, 2005, ComEd filed a
motion with the ICC formally seeking recusal of the Chairman
from the Procurement Case. On October 21, 2005,
Mr. Cohen informed ComEd that he retained legal counsel to
advise him on the recusal request and, while consideration of
that request was pending, he would not participate in ICC
proceedings or discussions relating to the Procurement Case.
ComEd will consider taking further appropriate legal action,
depending on the action taken by Mr. Cohen and the ICC.
On October 17, 2005, ComEd and Generation filed with FERC
an application under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA) (the Application). The Application seeks two actions from
FERC. First, the Application seeks FERC approval that the
proposed Illinois auction process meets FERC principles
concerning the procurement of wholesale electric power through a
competitive process as defined in previous FERC decisions.
Second, the Application seeks a FERC finding that if Generation
participates in the proposed Illinois auction and is selected as
a winning bidder, the standard agreements under which Generation
would sell energy, capacity and ancillary services to ComEd
would be acceptable to FERC because they resulted from a fair
and open competitive process. ComEd and Generation requested
FERC to issue an expedited order no later than December 15,
2005 to ensure that the actions that the ICC is being asked to
take in the Procurement Case by January 24, 2006 are fully
consistent with Federal law. The Application notes that the
requests are consistent with prior authorization granted by FERC
in connection with the New Jersey Basic Generation Service
competitive procurement auction. The Application asserts that
satisfaction of the principles in the previous FERC decisions
would form the basis for accepting the proposed agreements as
just and reasonable under Section 205 of the FPA.
Illinois Rate Case. On August 31, 2005, ComEd filed
a rate case with the ICC, which seeks, among other things, to
allocate the costs of supplying electricity and to adjust
ComEd’s rates for delivering electricity effective
January 2, 2007 (Rate Case). This request, if granted,
would increase ComEd’s annual revenues by

approximately $300 million relative to current levels,
exclusive of the effect of the Procurement Case. The results of
the Rate Case are not expected to be known until at least the
third quarter of 2006.
ComEd cannot predict the results of the Procurement Case or the
Rate Case before the ICC or whether the Illinois General
Assembly might take action that could have a material impact on
the outcome of the regulatory process. However, if the price at
which ComEd is allowed to sell energy beginning in 2007 is below
ComEd’s cost to procure electricity, there may be material
adverse consequences to ComEd and, possibly, Exelon. Exelon and
ComEd believe that these potential material adverse consequences
could include, but may not be limited to, ComEd’s
insolvency or bankruptcy, loss of ComEd’s investment grade
credit rating and a possible reduction in the other
Registrants’ credit ratings, limited or lost access for
ComEd to credit markets to finance operations and capital
investment, and loss of ComEd’s capacity to enter into
bilateral long-term energy procurement contracts, which would
likely force ComEd to procure electricity at more volatile and
potentially higher prices in the spot market. Moreover, to the
extent ComEd is not permitted to recover its costs, ComEd’s
ability to maintain and improve service may be diminished and
its ability to maintain reliability may be impaired. In the
nearer term, these prospects could have adverse effects on
ComEd’s liquidity if vendors reduce credit or shorten
payment terms or if ComEd’s financing alternatives become
more limited and significantly less flexible. ComEd also cannot
predict the long-term impact of customer choice for energy
supply on its results of operations.
Exelon and PECO
Partial Settlement before PAPUC. On September 13,
2005, PECO filed before the PAPUC a partial settlement regarding
distribution and transmission rates through 2010 and made other
financial commitments contingent upon the approval of
PECO’s application to the PAPUC related to the Merger. The
settlement reflects the conclusion of a process involving the
majority of PECO customer groups during which PECO’s cost
data, return on equity and estimated Merger synergies were
reviewed. If approved, the partial settlement would require PECO
to lower its rates by $120 million over four years and cap
its rates through the end of 2010. During the rate cap period,
the PAPUC would retain the right to lower PECO rates if they
were found to be excessive, and PECO retains the right to seek
rate increases if certain unanticipated events occur (such as
changes in tax rates, etc.). The partial settlement also
provides substantial funding for alternative energy and
environmental projects, economic development, and expanded
outreach and assistance for low-income customers. PECO also made
commitments for enhanced customer service and reliability,
commitments for charitable giving and employment, and a pledge
to maintain its Philadelphia headquarters. The total of these
funding commitments is approximately $44 million, of which
$30 million will be recorded at the time the Merger is
completed. Certain parties to the Merger proceedings have
challenged the partial settlement. See Note 4 —
Acquisitions and Dispositions for further discussion.
Exelon, ComEd and PECO
Through and Out Rates/SECA. In November 2004, the FERC
issued two orders authorizing ComEd and PECO to recover amounts
for a limited time during a specified transitional period as a
result of the elimination of through and out (T&O) rates for
transmission service scheduled out of, or across, their
respective transmission systems and ending within pre-expansion
PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) or Midwest Independent
System Operators (MISO) territories. T&O rates were
terminated pursuant to FERC orders, effective December 1,
2004. The new rates, known as Seams Elimination Charge/Cost
Adjustment/

Assignment (SECA), are collected from load-serving entities
within PJM and MISO over a transitional period from
December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006, subject to
refund, surcharge and hearing. As load-serving entities, ComEd
and PECO are also required to pay SECA rates during the
transitional period based on the benefits they receive from the
elimination of T&O rates of other transmission owners within
PJM and MISO.
During 2004, prior to the termination of T&O rates, ComEd
and PECO had net T&O collections of approximately
$50 million and $3 million, respectively. As a result
of the November 2004 FERC orders and potential appeals, ComEd
may see reduced net collections, and PECO may become a net payer
of SECA charges. Since the inception of the SECA rates in
December 2004, ComEd has recorded approximately $35 million
of SECA collections net of SECA charges, including
$13 million and $30 million during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, while PECO
has recorded $5 million of SECA charges net of SECA
collections, including $2 million and $5 million
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively. Management of each of ComEd and PECO believes that
appropriate reserves have been established in the event that
such SECA collections are required to be refunded. However, as
the above amounts collected under the SECA rates are subject to
refund and surcharge and the ultimate outcome of the proceeding
establishing SECA rates is uncertain, the result of this
proceeding may have a material adverse effect on ComEd’s
and PECO’s financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
Regulatory Accounting. Exelon, ComEd and PECO continue to
evaluate their regulated businesses’ abilities to apply
FASB Statement No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation” (SFAS No. 71),
including incorporating the current events described above. If a
separable portion of Energy Delivery’s business was no
longer able to meet the provisions of SFAS No. 71,
Exelon, ComEd and PECO, as applicable, would be required to
eliminate from its financial statements the effects of
regulation for that portion, which could also have a material
impact on the financial condition and results of operations of
Exelon, ComEd and PECO.
Exelon and Generation
Market-Based Rates Filing. On July 5, 2005, the FERC
approved Exelon’s continued authority to charge
market-based rates for wholesale sales of electricity, including
to its affiliates ComEd and PECO. In the same order, the FERC
stated that Exelon had failed to address the affiliate abuse
prong of the FERC’s market-based rate eligibility test and
used that statement as the basis for instituting a proceeding
under the provision of the Federal Power Act, section 206
and establishing a refund effective date of July 26, 2005
in the event that the FERC ultimately found that Exelon did not,
in fact, qualify for market-based rates. The FERC ordered Exelon
to make a compliance filing within 30 days of the order
addressing the affiliate abuse and reciprocal dealing prong of
the market-based rate test.
On August 4, 2005, Exelon filed a Petition for Rehearing
asking the FERC to rescind the part of its market-based rate
order that opened a section 206 investigation into the
issue of affiliate abuse and established a refund effective
date. Exelon addressed the affiliate abuse issue in its original
November 2003 triennial update filing. The September 2004 filing
addressed only the new generation market power issue, as the
FERC had directed. Since there had been no change in the
circumstances under which the FERC found that Exelon could not
exercise affiliate abuse, Exelon believed that it was under no
obligation to address those circumstances again. Exelon’s
pleading asks the FERC to either grant the rehearing request or
consider the filing to be the required compliance filing.
The market-based rate order also directed Exelon to make
compliance filings within 30 days of the order amending the
market-based rate tariffs of Exelon’s various subsidiaries
to include a code of conduct

precluding sales to PSEG’s utility affiliate without
specific authorization from the FERC for those sales. This is
consistent with the FERC’s precedent to treat merging
utilities as if they are affiliates while the merger is pending.
Concurrently with the rehearing request, Exelon also made those
tariff amendment filings.
Exelon still expects the FERC to make a decision regarding the
rehearing request in 2005. If the FERC were to suspend
Generation’s market-based rate authority, Generation would
be required to supply and implement a plan for mitigation of
market power. FERC’s default mitigation would require
Generation to file and obtain FERC acceptance of cost-based rate
schedules or schedules tied to a public index. In addition, the
loss of market-based rate authority would subject Generation to
the accounting, financing approval, record-keeping and reporting
requirements that are imposed on public utilities with
cost-based rate schedules.
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
The Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Energy Policy Act of
2005 (the Energy Policy Act), which was signed into law on
August 8, 2005, implements several significant changes
intended to improve electric reliability, promote investment in
electric facilities, streamline electric regulation, improve
wholesale competition, address problems identified in the
Western energy crisis and Enron collapse, promote fuel diversity
and cleaner fuel sources, and promote greater efficiency in
electric generation, delivery and use.
The Energy Policy Act also transfers to FERC certain additional
authority. FERC obtains new authority to review the acquisition
or merger of generating facilities, along with the
responsibility to address more explicitly cross-subsidization
issues in these situations. FERC now has the authority to
approve siting of electric transmission facilities located in
national interest electric transmission corridors if states
cannot or will not act in a timely manner to approve siting. The
Energy Policy Act also creates a self-regulating electric
reliability organization with FERC oversight to enforce
reliability rules.
In addition, the Energy Policy Act extends the Price-Anderson
Act to December 31, 2025. The Price-Anderson Act limits the
liability of nuclear reactor owners for claims that could arise
from a single incident. Under the Price-Anderson Act, all
nuclear reactor licensees can be assessed a maximum charge per
reactor per incident. The maximum assessment for all nuclear
operators per reactor per incident (including a 5% surcharge) is
$100.6 million, payable at no more than $15 million
per reactor per incident per year, an increase from the previous
limit of $10 million per reactor per incident per year.
This assessment is subject to inflation and state premium taxes.
Additionally, the Energy Policy Act repeals PUHCA effective
February 8, 2006. As a registered holding company under
PUHCA, Exelon is currently subject to a number of restrictions.
These restrictions involve financing, investments and affiliate
transactions. Exelon has an order under PUHCA authorizing
financing transactions for the Registrants within certain
limits. Exelon also has an order under PUHCA authorizing
development activities, the formation of new intermediate
subsidiaries for internal corporate structuring, internal
corporate reorganizations, and investments in certain
non-U.S. energy-related subsidiaries. PUHCA also limits the
businesses in which Exelon can engage and the investments that
Exelon can make, and requires that Exelon’s utility
subsidiaries constitute a single system that can be operated in
an efficient, coordinated manner. With the repeal of PUHCA,
Exelon will no longer be subject to these restrictions. However,
as discussed above, FERC will obtain additional jurisdiction for
the review of affiliate transactions, and FERC’s financing
jurisdiction resumes to the extent that it was preempted by
PUHCA. Exelon continues to review the effects of the Energy
Policy Act and FERC’s proposed rules with respect to future
financing authority for Exelon and its subsidiaries. To the
extent that the SEC’s jurisdiction under PUHCA preempted
certain aspects of state regulation of Exelon, the repeal of
PUHCA will permit the states in which Exelon and its
subsidiaries operate to adopt additional regulations if they so
choose, absent any preemption by the FERC.

Intangible Assets (Exelon, ComEd and Generation) |
|
|
|
Goodwill (Exelon and ComEd) |
As of September 30, 2005, Exelon and ComEd had recorded
goodwill of approximately $4.7 billion, resulting from the
PECO/ Unicom merger. Under the provisions of FASB Statement
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”
(SFAS No. 142), goodwill is tested for impairment at
least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances
indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As a result of
ComEd’s Rate Case filing on August 31, 2005, ComEd
reviewed the significant assumptions in the filing relative to
the 2004 goodwill impairment analysis and found the expected
future cash flows to be comparable. However, since the filing of
the Rate Case, the regulatory and political situation in
Illinois has become uncertain. As a result, the probabilities of
various outcomes must be considered, including some form of rate
settlement, a temporary inability to recover all costs and,
under certain circumstances, insolvency or bankruptcy.
Exelon’s and ComEd’s managements have not yet been
able to assess how the possible outcomes would be reflected in
the goodwill impairment analysis. Nonetheless, the impact of
ongoing developments on ComEd’s pending rate-related
matters could result in a significant impairment of goodwill at
both ComEd and Exelon, possibly in the fourth quarter of 2005.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, Exelon and ComEd will perform
their annual goodwill impairment assessment. As part of this
assessment, Exelon’s and ComEd’s managements will
incorporate, to the extent determinable, ongoing developments in
the regulatory and political environment in Illinois since the
filing of the Rate Case, which had not been incorporated in
prior goodwill impairment analyses as they were not applicable.
See Note 5 — Regulatory Issues for further
discussions related to the Illinois regulatory environment.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period
from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 were as

description of Exelon’s right to acquire tax credits
through investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities. In
addition, see Note 10 — Income Taxes. |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
Exelon’s amortization expense related to intangible assets
was $16 million and $52 million, respectively, of
which $4 million, has been reflected as a reduction in
revenues related to the energy purchase agreement and the
tolling agreement for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2004, Exelon’s amortization expense related to intangible
assets was $19 million and $58 million, respectively,
of which $8 million and $26 million, respectively, has
been reflected as a reduction in revenues related to the energy
purchase agreement and the tolling agreement. Exelon’s
amortization expense associated with intangible assets related
to its investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities is
expected to be in the range of $50 million to
$75 million annually from 2005 through 2007 and is expected
to be insignificant in 2008 and 2009.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
Generation’s amortization expense related to Sithe’s

On March 7, 2005, Exelon entered into a $2 billion
term loan agreement. The loan proceeds were used to fund
discretionary contributions of $2 billion to Exelon’s
pension plans, including contributions of $803 million,
$109 million and $842 million by ComEd, PECO and
Generation, respectively. To facilitate the contributions by
ComEd, PECO and Generation, Exelon contributed the corresponding
amounts to the capital of each company. On April 1, 2005,
Exelon entered into a $500 million term loan agreement to
reduce this $2 billion term loan. During the second quarter
of 2005, $200 million of this $500 million term loan,
as well as the remaining $1.5 billion balance on the
$2 billion term loan described above, were repaid with the
net proceeds received from the issuance of the $1.7 billion
long-term senior notes presented in the table below. The
$300 million outstanding balance under the
$500 million term loan agreement bears interest at a
variable rate determined, at Exelon’s option, by either the
Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the term loan
agreement) and is due in full on December 1, 2005. The
applicable interest rate as of September 30, 2005 for the
term loan was 3.72%.

Debt totaling approximately $820 million was eliminated
from the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Exelon and Generation as
a result of the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005. See
Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions for
further discussion regarding the sale of Sithe.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
ComEd made scheduled payments of $88 million and
$278 million, respectively, related to its obligation to
the ComEd Transitional Funding Trust, and PECO made scheduled
payments of $154 million and $361 million,
respectively, related to its obligation to the PECO Energy
Transition Trust (PETT).
Prepayment premiums of $2 million, unamortized discount of
$2 million and debt issuance costs of $1 million
associated with the early retirement of debt in 2005 have been
deferred in Exelon’s and ComEd’s regulatory assets and
will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the
related new debt issuance consistent with regulatory recovery.

Severance Benefits (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) |
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation provide severance and health
and welfare benefits to terminated employees pursuant to
pre-existing severance plans primarily based upon each
individual employee’s years of service with Exelon and
compensation level. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation account
for their ongoing severance plans in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 112, “Employer’s Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 5 and 43,” and FASB Statement No. 88,
“Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits,” and accrue amounts associated with
severance benefits that are considered probable and that can be
reasonably estimated.
The following tables present total salary continuance severance
costs (benefits), recorded as an operating and maintenance
expense, for the three and nine months ended September 30,

Retirement Benefits (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) |
Exelon’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement
welfare benefit plans are accounted for in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 87, “Employer’s Accounting for
Pensions,” and FASB Statement No. 106,
“Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than Pensions,” and are disclosed in accordance with
SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits — an
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106”
(revised 2003). See Note 15 of Exelon’s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for further information regarding defined benefit
pension plans and postretirement welfare benefit plans sponsored
by Exelon.
Exelon made discretionary contributions of $2 billion to
its pension plans during the first quarter of 2005. These
contributions were initially funded through borrowings under a
short-term loan agreement, which were subsequently refinanced
with long-term senior notes, as further described in
Note 7 — Debt. Of the total contribution, ComEd,
PECO and Generation contributed approximately $803 million,
$109 million and $844 million, respectively. The ComEd
and PECO contributions were fully funded by capital
contributions from Exelon. The Generation contribution was
primarily funded by capital contributions from Exelon and
included $2 million from internally generated funds. Exelon
did not contribute to its pension plans in the second or third
quarter of 2005 and does not anticipate making any additional
contributions during the remainder of 2005. The funding status
of the pension obligation refers to the difference between plan
assets and estimated obligations of the plan. The funding status
may change over time due to several factors, including
contribution levels, assumed discount rates and assumed
long-term rates of return on plan assets. Changes in these
factors could impact the funding status of the pension
obligation.

Investments in Synthetic Fuel-Producing Facilities. |
Background. Exelon, through three separate wholly owned
subsidiaries, owns interests in two limited liability companies
and one limited partnership that own synthetic fuel-producing
facilities. These facilities chemically convert coal, including
waste and marginal coal, into a synthetic fuel which is used at
power plants. Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) provides tax credits for the sale of synthetic fuel
produced from coal. These tax credits are scheduled to expire in
December 2007. The expenses associated with the operations of
these facilities exceed the related operating revenues and,
therefore, these facilities generate

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
operating losses. However, the tax credits provided by
Section 29 of the IRC and the tax benefit related to the
operating losses have historically more than offset the
operating losses. The value of the Section 29 tax credits
is adjusted annually by an inflation factor published by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in April of the year following
the year in which the credits are earned. Exelon’s right to
acquire tax credits generated by the facilities was recorded as
intangible assets which are amortized as the tax credits are
earned.
Ownership Structure. The purchase price for Exelon’s
investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities is comprised
of fixed and variable components. The fixed component is in the
form of a non-recourse note that requires nonrefundable
quarterly payments of principal and interest to the sellers. The
variable component is based on the value of estimated tax
credits that will be allocated to Exelon. Exelon’s
subsidiaries are also required to make capital contributions
based on the allocated amount of tax credits to the operators to
fund the operating losses.
Phase-Out of Credits Based on Crude Oil Prices.
Section 29 of the IRC contains a provision under which the
tax credits are phased out (i.e., eliminated) in the event crude
oil prices for a year exceed certain thresholds. Pursuant to
Section 29 of the IRC, the value of the tax credit in a
given year begins to be reduced if the annual average price per
barrel of oil according to the First Purchaser index (Reference
Price) within the year exceeds the threshold of the
IRC-prescribed inflation-adjusted phase-out range. The tax
credit is completely phased out if the Reference Price exceeds
the maximum amount of the phase-out range. Given that the
Reference Price is based on the current year’s annual
average price, this amount must be estimated throughout the year
based on actual prices to date and monthly quoted oil futures
prices. These estimates can change significantly due to the
volatility in oil prices. Recent events, such as terrorism,
natural disasters and strong worldwide demand, have
significantly increased the price of domestic crude oil and,
therefore, have created uncertainty as to the value of future
synthetic fuel tax credits.
The following table (in dollars) provides the actual and
estimated phase-out prices per barrel of oil and the annual
Reference Price for 2004 and 2005 in terms of the First
Purchaser index:

Estimated phase-out ranges are calculated using inflation rates
published by the IRS after year-end. The inflation rate used by
Exelon to estimate the 2005 phase-out range was 2%. |
As indicated in the table above, there was no phase out of tax
credits during 2004 since the annual oil Reference Price in
terms of the First Purchaser index of $37 did not exceed the
beginning phase-out price of $51.
In order to assess the likelihood of a phase-out of tax credits
and a potential impairment of the related intangible assets for
2005, Exelon must estimate the phase-out prices and the
Reference Price based on actual prices to date and monthly
quoted oil futures prices. Actual prices to date are not readily
available for the First Purchaser index which, as mentioned
above, is prescribed by the IRS to calculate the Reference
Price. In addition, the First Purchaser index does not include
monthly quoted oil futures prices. As such, Exelon uses the New
York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. index (NYMEX) to estimate
the annual Reference Price. There are, however, certain pricing
differences between the First Purchaser index and the NYMEX. The
First Purchaser index includes prices for high sulfur, medium
sulfur and low sulfur crude. The NYMEX pricing is

based on low sulfur crude only. Additionally, the First
Purchaser index is based on wellhead pricing with no
transportation cost component. The NYMEX pricing carries a
delivery cost. There are also certain regional pricing
differences between the First Purchaser index and NYMEX. Despite
these pricing differences, Exelon believes the NYMEX provides a
reasonable estimate of the annual Reference Price.
The following table (in dollars) provides the actual and
estimated phase-out prices per barrel of oil and the annual
Reference Price for 2005 based on the NYMEX:

Estimated phase-out ranges are calculated using inflation rates
published by the IRS after year-end. The inflation rate used by
Exelon to estimate the 2005 phase-out range was 2%. |
Based on the table above, the estimated annual Reference Price
based on the NYMEX would have to exceed $58 in 2005 for a
phase-out to begin. Through September 30, 2005, the NYMEX
closing price of a barrel of oil has averaged $56. As such,
NYMEX prices would have to average $67 per barrel of oil
during the remaining three months of 2005 in order to exceed $58
for the full year and begin a phase-out of tax credits.
Therefore, as of September 30, 2005, based on the actual
pricing to date and expected futures prices for the remaining
three months of 2005, Exelon estimates that it will not exceed
the threshold for a phase out of tax credits in 2005.
Hedging Activity. In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered
into certain derivatives to economically hedge a portion of its
oil price exposure related to the phase-out of tax credits. This
derivative could result in after-tax cash proceeds to Exelon of
up to $14 million in the event the tax credits are
completely phased-out.
The following table presents Exelon’s estimated net
financial statement impact in the event the 2005 annual
Reference Price exceeds the estimated end of phase-out price of
$73 resulting in all tax credits being completely eliminated in
2005.

Impact on Financial Statements. Exelon’s interests
in synthetic fuel-producing facilities, including mark-to-market
gains, increased Exelon’s net income by $28 million
and $18 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$73 million and $47 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
increase in net income is reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a benefit
within income taxes, partially offset by charges to operating
and maintenance expense, depreciation and amortization expense,
interest expense and equity in losses of unconsolidated
affiliates.
The net carrying value of the intangible assets was
$160 million at September 30, 2005. See
Note 6 — Intangible Assets for additional
information. The rising price of oil has resulted in the need to
evaluate the intangible assets for impairment. An impairment of
the intangible assets would occur if Exelon estimates that

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the synthetic fuel-producing facilities will not generate
sufficient cash flows to cover the intangible assets balance as
a result of tax credits being phased-out, which for 2006 and
2007 would require an average annual NYMEX oil price of
approximately $71 in each year, assuming the plants are operated
at full capacity. A decision by the plant operators to cease
operating the facilities could also result in the intangible
assets being impaired. Based on the current available
information, Exelon believes the operators will not cease to
operate the facilities in 2006 and 2007. As a result of the 2006
and 2007 average NYMEX future prices being lower than $71,
Exelon concluded as of September 30, 2005 that the
intangible assets were not impaired. If the intangible assets
were to be impaired and the plants were to cease operations,
Exelon would potentially be relieved of remaining payments on
the non-recourse notes payable and would record a gain upon
legal extinguishment of the notes payable for the remaining
outstanding balance. However, this would occur in a period
subsequent to the impairment being recorded.
The non-recourse notes payable principal balance was
$174 million at September 30, 2005.

1999 Sale of Fossil Generating Assets. |
Exelon, through its ComEd subsidiary, has taken certain tax
positions, which have been disclosed to the IRS, to defer the
tax gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. As of
September 30, 2005, deferred tax liabilities related to the
fossil plant sale are reflected in Exelon’s Consolidated
Balance Sheets with the majority allocated to ComEd and the
remainder to Generation. Exelon’s and ComEd’s ability
to continue to defer all or a portion of this liability depends
on whether their treatment of the sales proceeds as having been
received in connection with an involuntary conversion is proper
pursuant to applicable law. Exelon’s and ComEd’s
ability to continue to defer the remainder of this liability may
depend in part on whether their tax characterization of a lease
transaction ComEd entered into in connection with the sale is
proper pursuant to applicable law. For instance, the IRS may
argue that the lease transaction is of a type it has recently
announced its intention to challenge, and Exelon and ComEd
understand that somewhat similar transactions entered into by
other companies have been the subject of review and challenge by
the IRS. A successful IRS challenge to ComEd’s positions
would have the impact of accelerating future income tax payments
and increasing interest expense related to the deferred tax gain
that becomes currently payable. As of September 30, 2005,
Exelon’s potential cash outflow, including tax and interest
(after-tax), could be as much as $938 million. Management
of Exelon, ComEd and Generation believe a reserve for interest
has been appropriately recorded in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”
(SFAS No. 5); however, the ultimate outcome of such
matters could result in unfavorable or favorable adjustments to
the results of operations, and such adjustments could be
material. Federal tax returns covering the period of the 1999
sale are currently under IRS audit. Final resolution of this
matter is not anticipated for several years.

Nuclear Decommissioning and Nuclear Decommissioning
Trust Fund Investments (Exelon and Generation) |
Both Generation and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Generation, have legal obligations to
decommission their nuclear power plants following the expiration
of their respective operating licenses. In accordance with
SFAS No. 143, this obligation is reflected as an asset
retirement obligation (ARO), which is classified as a noncurrent
liability. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual

Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting
for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust
fund investments. In addition, see Note 16 —
Related-Party Transactions for information regarding
intercompany balances between Generation, and ComEd and PECO
reflecting the obligation to refund to customers any
decommissioning-related assets in excess of the related
decommissioning obligations. The balances reflect the applicable
accounting methodology; although it is expected that all
decommissioning-related assets will ultimately be used to
satisfy decommissioning obligations.
Generation updates its ARO on a periodic basis. During the
second quarter of 2005, Generation recorded a $281 million
net decrease to the ARO resulting from revisions to estimated
future nuclear decommissioning cash flows. This update also
resulted in a corresponding decrease to the asset retirement
cost (ARC) asset of approximately $251 million,
included in property, plant and equipment. The balance of the
decrease to the ARO related primarily to the retired units,
which have no remaining useful life and, likewise, no existing
ARC to offset. The decrease related to these retired units
totaled approximately $30 million and was recorded as a
credit to income. However, since there is currently no impact to
net income for the decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO
units, the $30 million credit to income was equally offset
with a charge to operating income and an adjustment to the
intercompany payable to ComEd and PECO at Generation and an
adjustment to the regulatory liability at ComEd and PECO. Both
the credit to income and the offsetting charge to operating
income are included in operating and maintenance expense within
the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The net decrease to the ARO resulted primarily from a
year-over-year decline in the cost escalation factors used to
estimate future undiscounted costs, which was partially offset
by an increase resulting from updated decommissioning cost
studies received for two nuclear stations. Both the updated
escalation factors and the updated cost estimates were provided
by independent third-party appraisers. Cost studies are
generally updated every three to five years in accordance with
NRC regulations and industry practice. The net decrease in the
ARO for the former ComEd units, the former PECO units and the
AmerGen units resulting from revisions to estimated cash flows
during 2005 was $207 million, $40 million and
$34 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2005,
the ARO balances for the former ComEd, the former PECO and the
AmerGen units totaled approximately $2.3 billion,
$1.0 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
At September 30, 2005, Exelon and Generation had gross
unrealized gains of $668 million and gross unrealized
losses of $55 million. The gross unrealized losses were
comprised of $49 million related to trust accounts for the
decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO plants and
$6 million primarily related to the trust accounts for the
decommissioning of the AmerGen plants. At December 31,
2004, Exelon and Generation had gross unrealized gains of
$626 million and gross unrealized losses of
$44 million related to the nuclear decommissioning trust
fund investments. The gross unrealized losses were comprised of
$37 million related to trust accounts for the
decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO plants and
$7 million primarily related to the trust accounts for the
decommissioning of the AmerGen plants.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
as a result of the sale of nuclear decommissioning trust fund
investments, Exelon and Generation had realized losses of
$3 million and realized gains of $52 million,
respectively, of which, realized losses of $1 million and
realized gains of $38 million during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, related to
investments held in the AmerGen decommissioning trust funds.
These gains were recognized primarily as a result of changes to
the investment strategy associated with the mix of investments
in the nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the first half of
2005. For the former ComEd and PECO units, these gains and
losses have been reflected as a component of other income and,
due to the contractual construct, had no impact on the results
of operations of Exelon and Generation.
Exelon and Generation evaluate decommissioning trust fund
investments for other-than-temporary impairments by analyzing
the historical performance, cost basis and market value of
securities in unrealized loss positions in comparison to related
market indices. During the nine months ended September 30,
2005 and September 30, 2004, Exelon and Generation
concluded that certain trust fund investments were
other-than-temporarily impaired based on various factors
assessed in the aggregate, including the duration and severity
of the impairment, the anticipated recovery of the securities
and consideration of Exelon’s and Generation’s ability
and intent to hold the investments until the recovery of their
cost basis. This determination resulted in impairment charges of
$2 million and $7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
respectively, recorded in other income and deductions associated
with the trust funds for the decommissioning of the AmerGen
plants. Also, Exelon and Generation realized $12 million
and $260 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
respectively, of previously unrealized losses associated with
the trust investments for the decommissioning of the former
ComEd and PECO plants. As both realized and unrealized losses
are included as a reduction in the fair value of the investments
and in the fair value of the regulatory liability at ComEd and
PECO, realization of these losses associated with the former
ComEd and PECO plants had no impact on Exelon’s and
Generation’s results of operations or financial position.

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

may be repurchased and no specified termination date. Any shares
repurchased are held as treasury shares unless cancelled or
reissued at the discretion of Exelon’s management. Treasury
shares are recorded at cost. As of September 30, 2005,
7.1 million shares of common stock have been purchased
under the share repurchase program for $329 million. During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
4.8 million shares of common stock were purchased under the
share repurchase program for $254 million. During the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Exelon purchased
zero and 2.3 million shares, respectively, of common stock
under the share repurchase program for $0 and $75 million,
respectively. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2005,
Exelon repurchased 0.2 million shares of common stock from
a retired executive for $8 million. These shares are also
held as treasury shares and are recorded at cost.
Diluted earnings per share are 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 outstanding under Exelon’s stock option plans
considered to be common stock equivalents. The following table
sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share and shows the effect of these stock options on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding used in

Commitments and Contingencies (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and
Generation) |
For information regarding contingencies, capital commitments and
nuclear decommissioning at December 31, 2004, see
Notes 14 and 20 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2005, Generation’s long-term
commitments relating to the purchase from and sale to
unaffiliated utilities and others of energy, capacity and
transmission rights did not change significantly from
December 31, 2004, except for the following:
|
|
|
|
• |
Power-only sales commitments of $395 million and minimum
fuel purchase commitments of $217 million were eliminated
after the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005. |
|
|
• |
During the second quarter of 2005, in the normal course of
business, Generation entered into long-term contracts for
uranium enrichment services, increasing commitments by
$122 million and $272 million for 2008-2009 and 2010
and beyond, respectively. |
|
|
• |
During the third quarter of 2005, in the normal course of
business, Generation entered into long-term contracts for
uranium, increasing commitments by $132 million and
$128 million for 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond,
respectively. |
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation’s commercial commitments
as of September 30, 2005, representing commitments
potentially triggered by future events did not change
significantly from December 31, 2004, except for the
following:
|
|
|
|
• |
Letters of credit decreased $109 million, primarily as a
result of the sale of Sithe. See Note 4 —
Acquisitions and Dispositions for further discussion. |
|
|
• |
Guarantees decreased $1.6 billion, primarily as a result of
American Nuclear Insurers’ release of Exelon from the
parent guarantee of $1.4 billion for Generation’s
obligations and the release of guarantees of $200 million
related to the wind-down of Enterprises’ operations. |
|
|
|
Environmental Liabilities |
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation accrue amounts for
environmental investigation and remediation costs that can be
reasonably estimated, including amounts for manufactured gas
plant (MGP) investigation and remediation. Exelon has
identified 69 sites where former MGP activities have or may have
resulted in actual site contamination. Of these 69 sites, the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has approved the
clean-up of 5 sites and the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection has approved the clean-up of 9 sites.
Pursuant to a PAPUC order, PECO is currently recovering a
provision for environmental costs annually for the remediation
of former MGP facility sites, for which PECO has recorded a
regulatory asset. See Note 14 — Supplemental
Financial Information for further information regarding
regulatory assets and

Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation 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.
Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act. In a
pre-draft permit dated May 13, 2005 and a draft permit
issued on July 19, 2005, as part of the pending National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit renewal process
for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (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. AmerGen has
not made a determination regarding how it will demonstrate
compliance with the Section 316(b) regulations, but
believes that other compliance options under the final
Phase II rule are viable and will be analyzed as part of
the plant’s comprehensive demonstration study. If
application of the Section 316(b) regulations requires the
retrofitting of Oyster Creek’s cooling water intake
structure or extensive wetlands restoration, this could result
in material costs of compliance. See Note 20 of
Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within
Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information

Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions. Exelon
announced on May 6, 2005 that it has established a
voluntary goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
by eight percent from 2001 levels by the end of 2008. The eight
percent reduction goal represents a decrease of an estimated
1.3 million metric tons of GHG emissions. Exelon will
incorporate recognition of GHG emissions and their potential
cost into its business analyses as a means to promote internal
investment in climate-reducing activities. Exelon made this
pledge under the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Climate Leaders program, a voluntary
industry-government partnership addressing climate change.
Exelon believes that its planned greenhouse gas management
efforts, including increased use of renewable energy, its
current energy efficiency initiatives and its efforts in the
areas of carbon sequestration, will allow it to achieve this
goal. The anticipated cost of achieving the voluntary GHG
emissions reduction goal will not have a material effect on
Exelon’s future results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation’s lease commitments as
of September 30, 2005 did not change significantly from
December 31, 2004, except for the following:
|
|
|
|
• |
In the third quarter of 2005, Exelon Business Services Company
(BSC) entered into an operating lease to rent a portion of a
building from January 1, 2007 through September 30,
2022. BSC is obligated to pay its proportionate share of the
building’s property taxes and operating expenses. Total
rent expense over the life of the lease agreement will be
approximately $51.4 million, which includes fixed
escalation clauses. In addition, the lease provides for two
five-year renewal options. |
PJM Billing Dispute. In December 2004, Exelon filed a
complaint against PJM and PPL Electric with the FERC alleging
that PJM had overcharged Exelon from April 1998 through May 2003
as a result of a billing error. Specifically, the complaint
alleges that PJM mistakenly identified PPL Electric’s Elroy
substation transformer as belonging to Exelon and that, as a
consequence, during times of congestion, Exelon’s bills for
transmission congestion from PJM erroneously reflected energy
that PPL Electric took from the Elroy substation and used to
serve PPL Electric’s load. The complaint requested the
FERC, among other things, to direct PPL Electric to refund to
PJM $39.1 million, plus interest of approximately
$8 million, and for PJM to refund these same amounts to
Exelon.
On September 14, 2005, Exelon and PPL filed a proposed
settlement of this matter with the FERC. If the settlement is
approved by the FERC, Exelon will receive a total of
$40.5 million, plus interest, over the next four years from
two funding sources: (a) $33 million from PPL Electric
and (b) $7.5 million from PJM market participants.
Both charges will be collected and paid by PJM over a four-year
period following FERC approval of the settlement with interest
on the unpaid principal accruing over the collection and payment
period. Since Exelon is a market participant in PJM, if this
settlement is approved by the FERC, the net amount of the
settlement to be received by Exelon will be reduced by
Exelon’s portion of the $7.5 million described above.
Pending FERC approval of the proposed settlement, Exelon has not
recorded any receivables associated with this matter.

Asbestos Claims. Like many other industrial companies,
Generation is a defendant in personal injury actions related to
asbestos exposure in certain facilities that are currently owned
by Generation or were previously owned by ComEd and PECO. The
vast majority of these asbestos-related bodily injury claims
allege a variety of lung-related diseases based on alleged
exposure to asbestos by former third-party contractors involved
in the original construction or maintenance of the facilities.
The construction of these facilities primarily occurred between
1950 and 1975. Generation does not have significant
asbestos-related bodily injury claims occurring after 1980.
As part of the 2001 restructuring in which Generation purchased
ComEd’s and PECO’s energy-producing facilities,
Generation assumed all of ComEd’s and PECO’s current
and future benefits and liabilities associated with these
facilities. Based on the receipt of asbestos-related bodily
injury claims during 2002, 2003 and 2004, where previously an
insignificant number of claims were received and corresponding
expenses were recorded, Generation engaged independent actuaries
to determine if a reasonable estimate of future losses could be
made based on historical claims data and other available
information. Based on the currently available volume and
diversity of historical claim and payment data, the actuaries
determined that a reasonable estimate could be prepared and,
accordingly, Generation engaged the actuaries to calculate an
estimate of future losses. In the second quarter of 2005, based
on the actuaries’ analyses, management’s review of
current and expected losses and the view of counsel regarding
the assumptions used in estimating the future losses, Generation
recorded an undiscounted $43 million pre-tax charge for its
estimated portion of all estimated future asbestos-related
personal injury claims estimated to be presented through 2030.
This amount does not include estimated legal costs associated
with handling these matters, which could be material. Exelon
management determined that it was not reasonable to estimate
future asbestos-related personal injury claims past 2030 based
on only three years of historical claims data and the
significant amount of judgment required to estimate this
liability. In calculating future losses, management and the
actuaries made various assumptions, including, but not limited
to, the overall number of future claims estimated through the
use of actuarial models, Exelon’s estimated portion of
future settlements and obligations, the distribution of exposure
sites, the anticipated future mix of diseases that relate to
asbestos exposure and the anticipated levels of awards made to
plaintiffs. Exelon’s recent history of successfully
defending itself in court cases for asbestos-related bodily
injury claims was qualitatively considered in determining this
estimate.
The amounts recorded by Generation for estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims are based upon known facts
at the time the report was prepared. Projecting future events,
such as the number of new claims to be filed each year and the
average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous
uncertainties surrounding asbestos-related litigation in the
United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or
lower than projected. While it is not possible to predict the
ultimate outcome of the asbestos-related claims and settlements,
management believes, after consultation with counsel, that
resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on Exelon’s or Generation’s results of
operations and financial position. Management cautions, however,
that these estimates for asbestos-related bodily injury cases
and settlements are difficult to predict and may be influenced
by many factors. Accordingly, these matters, if resolved in a
manner different from the estimate, could have a material effect
on Exelon’s or Generation’s financial position and
cash flow.
The $43 million pre-tax charge was recorded as part of
operating and maintenance expense on Generation’s
Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and reduced net
income by $27 million. At September 30, 2005, Exelon
had approximately $52 million reserved in total for
asbestos-related bodily injury claims. Approximately

Generation as of September 30, 2005, while the remaining
$42 million of the reserve is for estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise
through 2030. Exelon anticipates obtaining periodic updates of
the estimate of future losses. On a quarterly basis, Exelon
monitors actual experience against the number of forecasted
claims to be received and expected claim payments.
Real Estate Tax Appeals. PECO and Generation each have
been challenging real estate taxes assessed on nuclear plants.
PECO is involved in litigation in which it is contesting taxes
assessed in 1997 under the Pennsylvania Public Utility Realty
Tax Act of March 4, 1971, as amended (PURTA), and has
appealed local real estate assessments for 1998 and 1999 on the
Limerick Generating Station (Montgomery County, PA) (Limerick)
and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (York County, PA) (Peach
Bottom) plants. Generation is involved in real estate tax
appeals for 2000 through 2004, also regarding the valuation of
its Limerick and Peach Bottom plants, Quad Cities Station (Rock
Island County, IL), Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (Dauphin
County, PA) (TMI) and Oyster Creek Nuclear Station (Forked
River, NJ). PECO and Generation have reached settlements with
the taxing authorities over the Limerick real estate assessments
for 1998 and 1999. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all
Limerick tax appeals were dismissed by the state court, PECO has
agreed to an additional payment of approximately $3 million
for the two PURTA years and Generation has agreed to make
additional payments in lieu of taxes for years 2005 through
2008. As a result of the Limerick settlement, PECO reduced its
real estate tax reserve balance by $6 million in the first
quarter of 2005. In addition, Generation reached a settlement
with the taxing authorities over the TMI real estate assessment,
which has been approved by the state court. As a result of the
TMI settlement, Generation reduced its real estate tax reserve
balance by $6 million in the first quarter of 2005.
Generation reached an agreement with the taxing authorities for
all years under appeal for the Quad Cities Station and is
working to reduce the agreement to writing and obtain signatures
and state court approval. Generation also reached an agreement
with the taxing authorities for all years under appeal for the
Oyster Creek Station and is waiting state court approval.
PECO and Generation believe their reserve balances for other
exposures associated with real estate taxes as of
September 30, 2005 reflect the probable expected outcome of
the litigation and appeals proceedings in accordance with
SFAS No. 5. The ultimate outcome of such matters,
however, could result in unfavorable or favorable adjustments to
the consolidated financial statements of Exelon, PECO and
Generation and such adjustments could be material.

Exelon, PECO and Generation |
Reverse-Employment Discrimination Claim. On April 4,
2005, one employee of PECO and four employees of Generation
commenced suit in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that they were
subjected to a practice of reverse-employment discrimination
which denied promotional opportunities to older white male
employees, purportedly in violation of various federal
antidiscrimination statutes and the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Act. The plaintiffs filed the action individually and on behalf
of a putative class that includes all white males currently or
previously employed with any Exelon companies in the United
States who were at least 40 years old on April 4, 2003
and who either applied for or were eligible to apply for
supervisory positions in March 2003 and thereafter, continuing
to the present day, and were not selected for these positions.
The defendants have filed an answer denying all liability and
are proceeding with discovery pertaining to the class
allegations and the named plaintiffs’

individual claims. Discovery is expected to close at the
year’s end, at which time plaintiffs’ motion for class
certification, and the defendants’ opposition thereto, are
expected to be filed with the court.

Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation |
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are involved in various other
litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the
ordinary course of business. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
maintain accruals for such costs that are probable of being
incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. The ultimate
outcomes of such matters, as well as the matters discussed
above, are uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation.
ComEd and PECO have several pending tax refund claims seeking
acceleration of certain tax deductions and additional tax
credits. ComEd and PECO are unable to estimate the ultimate
outcome of these refund claims and will account for any amounts
received in the period the matters are settled with the IRS.
ComEd and PECO had entered into several agreements with a tax
consultant related to the filing of these refund claims with the
IRS. ComEd and PECO previously made refundable prepayments to
the tax consultants of $11 million and $5 million,
respectively. The fees for these agreements are contingent upon
a successful outcome of the claims and are based upon a
percentage of the refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. These
potential tax benefits and associated fees could be material to
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
ComEd and PECO. A portion of ComEd’s tax benefits,
including any associated interest for periods prior to the
merger among PECO, Unicom Corporation (Unicom), the former
parent company of ComEd, and Exelon (PECO/Unicom Merger) would
be recorded as a reduction of goodwill pursuant to a
reallocation of the PECO/Unicom Merger purchase price. ComEd and
PECO cannot predict the timing of the final resolution of
outstanding refund claims.
In 2004, the IRS granted preliminary approval for one of
ComEd’s refund claims and final approval was obtained in
the first quarter of 2005. The refund and associated interest
have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Approximately $14 million of tax and interest benefit
received in the second quarter of 2005 has been reflected in the
consolidated financial statements of which $12 million
($9 million after-tax) was recorded to goodwill under the
provisions of EITF Issue 93-7, “Uncertainties Related
to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination.” As a
result, ComEd recorded consulting expenses of $5 million
(pre-tax) in 2004.
Based on negotiations with the IRS during the first half of
2005, PECO believed it would receive a tax refund related to one
of its claims and recorded a $6 million (pre-tax) charge
related to expected consulting charges through the second
quarter of 2005. However, as the result of a recent unfavorable
tax court decision involving another utility related to a
similar type of refund claim, PECO no longer believes payment of
the consulting fees is probable and reversed the $6 million
(pre-tax) charge during the third quarter 2005. PECO is unable
to predict the final impact of its future negotiations with the
IRS on this matter.

Segment Information (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) |
As of January 1, 2005, Exelon operates in two business
segments: Energy Delivery (ComEd and PECO) and Generation.
Exelon evaluates the performance of its business segments on the
basis of net income.
Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of
Enterprises in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1,
2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment and is
included in the “other” category within the table
below. Presentation for 2004 has been adjusted for comparative
purposes.
ComEd, PECO and Generation each operate in a single business
segment; as such, no separate segment information is provided
for these registrants.

Generation has entered into PPAs with ComEd and PECO, as
amended, to provide the full energy requirements of ComEd and
PECO. Effective April 1, 2004, Generation entered into a
one-year gas supply agreement with PECO. See Note 16 of
Generation’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Generation purchases retail electric and ancillary services from
ComEd and buys power from PECO for Generation’s own use. In
order to facilitate payment processing, ComEd processes certain
invoice payments on behalf of Generation. Prior to joining PJM
on May 1, 2004, ComEd also provided transmission services
to Generation. Amounts charged by ComEd to Generation for
transmission have been recorded as intercompany purchased power
by Generation. See Note 16 of Generation’s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Generation’s 2004

(c) |
|
Generation receives a variety of corporate support services from
BSC, including legal, human resources, financial, information
technology and supply management services. All services are
provided at cost, including applicable overhead. A portion of
such services is capitalized. Some third-party reimbursements
due Generation are recovered through BSC. |
|
(d) |
|
Generation participates in Exelon’s intercompany money
pool. Generation earns interest on its contributions to the
money pool, and pays interest on its borrowings from the money
pool at a market rate of interest. |

Generation has a short-term and a long-term receivable from
ComEd, primarily representing ComEd’s legal requirements to
remit collections of nuclear decommissioning costs from its
customers to Generation resulting from the 2001 corporate
restructuring. See Note 13 of Generation’s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Generation’s 2004

|
Generation has long-term payables to ComEd and PECO as a result
of the nuclear decommissioning contractual construct whereby, to
the extent the assets associated with decommissioning are
greater than the applicable ARO, such amounts are due back to
ComEd and PECO, as applicable, for payment to their respective
customers. See Note 13 of Generation’s Notes to

Interest-Rate Swaps (Exelon and ComEd) |
The fair values of Exelon’s and ComEd’s interest-rate
swaps are determined using quoted exchange prices, external
dealer prices and available market pricing curves. At
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Exelon had
$240 million and $440 million, respectively, of
notional amounts of interest-rate swaps outstanding, of which
$240 million and $240 million, respectively, was held
by ComEd. The following table provides the fair values at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 of

At September 30, 2005, the Registrants’ did not have
any interest-rate swaps outstanding that were designated as
cash-flow hedges. |
Fair-Value Hedges. The Registrants utilize
fixed-to-floating interest-rate swaps as a means to achieve
their targeted level of variable-rate debt as a percent of total
debt. At September 30, 2005, ComEd had $240 million of
notional amounts of fair-value hedges outstanding. The swaps
have been designated as fair-value hedges, as defined in
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133), and, as such,
changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in earnings;
however, as long as the hedge remains effective and the
underlying transaction remains probable, changes in the fair
value of the swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of
the hedged liabilities. Any change in the fair value of the
hedge as a result of ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in
earnings. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, no amounts relating to
fair-value hedges were recorded in earnings as a result of
ineffectiveness.
Cash Flow Hedges. The Registrants utilize interest rate
derivatives to lock in interest-rate levels in anticipation of
future financings. Forward-starting interest-rate swaps are
designated as cash-flow hedges, as defined in
SFAS No. 133 and, as such, changes in the fair value
of the swaps are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income (OCI). Any change in the fair value of the hedge as a
result of ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in earnings.
At September 30, 2005, the Registrants did not have any
notional amounts of cash-flow hedges outstanding. However,
during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as a
result of a forecasted transaction no longer being probable,
Exelon and ComEd settled interest-rate swaps in the aggregate
notional amount of $325 million and recorded net pre-tax
losses of $15 million which were included in other, net
within Exelon’s and ComEd’s Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, Exelon and ComEd settled interest-rate
swaps in the aggregate notional amount of $1.8 billion and
recorded pre-tax losses of $54 million, of which
$15 million was included in other, net within Exelon’s
and ComEd’s Consolidated Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income. Exelon is recording the remaining
$39 million as additional interest expense over the
remaining life of

the related debt. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2004, Exelon and ComEd did not reclassify any
amounts from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of
ineffectiveness.

Energy-Related Derivatives (Exelon and Generation) |
Generation utilizes derivatives to manage its available
generating capacity and the provision of wholesale energy to its
affiliates. Exelon and Generation utilize energy option
contracts, energy financial swap arrangements, futures and
forwards to limit the market price risk associated with energy
commodity prices. Additionally, Generation enters into certain
energy-related derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Exelon and Generation’s energy contracts are accounted for
under SFAS No. 133. Non-trading contracts may qualify
for the normal purchases and normal sales exemption to
SFAS No. 133 discussed in the “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation — Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates” in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those
that do not meet the normal purchase and normal sales exemption
are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at
fair value. Changes in the derivatives recorded at fair value
are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met and they are designated as cash-flow hedges, in
which case those changes are recorded in OCI, and gains and
losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying
transaction occurs. Changes in the fair value of derivative
contracts that do not meet the hedge criteria under
SFAS No. 133 (or are not designated as such) and
proprietary trading contracts are recognized in current
earnings. Generation also has contracted for access to
additional generation and sales to load-serving entities that
are accounted for under the accrual method of accounting
discussed in Note 20 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2005, Exelon and Generation had net
liabilities of $530 million and $558 million,
respectively, on their Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fair
value of energy derivatives, which included the energy
derivatives at Exelon and Generation discussed below. The
following table provides a summary of the fair value balances

Normal Operations and Hedging Activities. Electricity
available from Generation’s owned or contracted generation
supply in excess of Generation’s obligations to customers,
including Energy Delivery’s retail load, is sold into the
wholesale markets. To reduce price risk caused by market
fluctuations, Generation enters into physical contracts as well
as derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and
options, with approved counterparties to hedge anticipated
exposures.

Cash-Flow Hedges (Generation) |
The tables below provide details of effective cash-flow hedges
under SFAS No. 133 included on Generation’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2005. The
data in the table is indicative of the magnitude of
SFAS No. 133 hedges Generation has in place; however,
since under SFAS No. 133 not all hedges are recorded
in OCI, the table does not provide an all-encompassing picture
of Generation’s derivatives. The tables also include a
rollforward of accumulated OCI related to cash-flow hedges for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, providing information about the changes in the fair value
of hedges and the reclassification from OCI into earnings.

At September 30, 2005, Generation had net unrealized
pre-tax losses on cash-flow hedges of $671 million recorded
in accumulated OCI. Based on market prices at September 30,
2005, approximately $560 million of these deferred net
pre-tax unrealized losses on derivative instruments in
accumulated OCI are expected to be reclassified to earnings
during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount
reclassified to earnings could vary due to future changes in
market prices. Amounts recorded in accumulated OCI related to
changes in energy commodity cash-flow hedges are reclassified
into earnings when the forecasted purchase or sale of the energy
commodity occurs. The majority of Generation’s cash-flow
hedges are expected to settle within the next three years.
Generation’s cash-flow hedge activity impact to pre-tax
earnings based on the reclassification adjustment from
accumulated OCI to earnings was a $151 million pre-tax loss
and a $119 million pre-tax loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and a
$340 million pre-tax loss and a $367 million pre-tax
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

Other Derivatives (Exelon and Generation) |
Exelon and Generation enter into certain contracts that are
derivatives, but do not qualify for hedge accounting under
SFAS No. 133 or are not designated as cash-flow
hedges. These contracts are also entered into to economically
hedge and limit the market price risk associated with energy
commodity prices. Changes in the fair value of these derivative
contracts are recognized in current earnings. For the three
months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30,
2004, Exelon and Generation recognized net unrealized gains of
$179 million offset by realized losses of $82 million
for a net mark-to-market gain of $97 million and net
unrealized gains of $38 million and realized gains of
$19 million for a total mark-to-market gain of
$57 million, respectively, relating to mark-to-market
activity of certain non-trading power purchase and sale
contracts pursuant to SFAS No. 133. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, Exelon and
Generation recognized net unrealized gains of $220 million
offset by realized losses of $65 million for a net
mark-to-market gain of $155 million and net unrealized
gains of $224 million offset by realized losses of
$185 million for a net mark-to-market gain of
$39 million, respectively, relating to mark-to-market
activity of certain non-trading power purchase and sale
contracts pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Mark-to-market
activity on non-trading power purchase and sale contracts are
reported in fuel expense and purchased power expense.
As a result of the nature of operations and the use of mark-to
market accounting for certain derivatives, mark-to-market
earnings will fluctuate. Generation cannot predict these
fluctuations, but the impact on purchased power expense, fuel
expense and earnings could be material. The primary factors that
cause changes in earnings due to mark-to-market are the number
and size of Generation’s open derivative positions and the
changes in forward commodity prices.
Proprietary Trading Activities. 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 the Risk

Management Committee. These contracts are recognized on the
balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value of
these derivative financial instruments are recognized in
earnings. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to
Generation’s energy marketing portfolio but represent a
very small portion of Generation’s overall energy marketing
activities.
Generation recognized a mark-to-market gain of $2 million
and no mark-to-market gains or losses for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
respectively, and a mark-to-market gain of $11 million and
a mark-to-market loss of $1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating
to mark-to-market activity of derivative instruments entered
into for trading purposes. Gains and losses associated with
financial trading are reported as revenue in the Consolidated
Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Item 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation |
(Dollars in millions except per share data, unless otherwise
noted)
General
Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is a registered public utility
holding company. It operates through subsidiaries in two
business segments:
|
|
|
|
• |
Energy Delivery, whose businesses include the purchase
and regulated retail sale of electricity and distribution and
transmission services by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in
northern Illinois and PECO Energy Company (PECO) in
southeastern Pennsylvania and the purchase and retail sale of
natural gas and distribution services by PECO in the
Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. |
|
|
• |
Generation, whose business consists principally of the
electric generating facilities and wholesale energy marketing
operations of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), the
competitive retail sales business of Exelon Energy Company and
certain other generation projects. |
See Note 15 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further segment information.
Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Exelon
Enterprises Company, LLC (Enterprises) in 2004 and 2003. As a
result, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment as of
January 1, 2005.
Exelon, through its business services subsidiary, Exelon
Business Services Company (BSC), provides Exelon’s business
segments with a variety of support services, including legal,
human resources, financial, information technology, supply
management and corporate governance services. ComEd and PECO
also receive additional services from BSC, including planning
and engineering of delivery systems, management of construction,
operation and maintenance of the transmission and delivery
systems, and management of other support services. Generation
receives additional services from BSC for inventory and
information technology support and management of other support
services. These costs are allocated to the applicable business
segments. Additionally, the results of Exelon’s corporate
operations include costs for corporate governance and interest
costs and income from various investment and financing
activities.
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
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation — Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments
necessary in the Registrants’ accounting for asset
retirement obligations, asset impairments, defined benefit
pension and other postretirement welfare benefits, regulatory
accounting, derivative instruments, depreciable lives of
property, plant and equipment, contingencies, severance, revenue
recognition and ownership interests in variable interest
entities.
Goodwill (Exelon and ComEd)
Exelon and ComEd had approximately $4.7 billion of goodwill
recorded at September 30, 2005, which relates entirely to
the goodwill resulting from the PECO/Unicom merger. Exelon and
ComEd perform assessments for impairment of their goodwill at
least annually (as of November 1st) or more frequently if
events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be
impaired. The goodwill impairment assessment is a two-step
process. The first step involves determining the fair value of
the reporting unit and then comparing that amount to the
carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value
exceeds the fair value, a second step must be taken. In the
second step, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined
and compared with the
79
carrying value of goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds the
fair value, an impairment would be recognized. Application of
the goodwill impairment test requires management’s
judgments, including the identification of reporting units,
assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning
goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of
each reporting unit.
Exelon assesses goodwill impairment on the basis of its Energy
Delivery reporting unit; accordingly, a goodwill impairment
charge at ComEd may not necessarily affect Exelon’s results
of operations as the goodwill impairment test for Exelon
considers the cash flows of the entire consolidated Energy
Delivery business segment, which includes both ComEd and PECO. A
change in Exelon’s assessment of reporting units due to
business changes, shifts in underlying economic characteristics
or as a result of the PSEG Merger that causes ComEd to be
considered its own reporting unit for the Exelon impairment test
would cause any impairment at ComEd to be reflected at the
Exelon level.
In the impairment assessments, Exelon and ComEd estimate the
fair value of the Energy Delivery and ComEd reporting units
using a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow model with
multiple scenarios. The fair value determination is dependent on
many sensitive, interrelated and uncertain variables, including
changing interest rates, utility sector market performance, the
capital structures of Energy Delivery and ComEd, market prices
for power, post-2006 rate regulatory structures, operating and
capital expenditure requirements and other factors. Changes in
assumptions regarding these variables or in the assessment of
how they interrelate could produce a different impairment
result, which could be material. As a result of ComEd’s
Rate Case filing on August 31, 2005, ComEd reviewed the
significant assumptions in the filing relative to the 2004
goodwill impairment analysis and found the expected future cash
flows to be comparable. However, since the filing of the Rate
Case, the regulatory and political situation in Illinois has
become uncertain. As a result, the probabilities of various
possible outcomes must be considered, including some form of
rate settlement, a temporary inability to recover all costs and,
under certain circumstances, insolvency or bankruptcy.
Exelon’s and ComEd’s managements have not yet been
able to assess how the possible outcomes should be reflected in
the goodwill impairment analysis. Nonetheless, the impact of
these ongoing developments on ComEd’s pending rate-related
matters could result in a significant impairment of goodwill at
both ComEd and Exelon. See Note 5 — Regulatory
Issues for further discussions related to the Illinois
regulatory environment and Note 6 — Intangible
Assets for further discussion of goodwill.
Regulatory Accounting (Exelon, ComEd and PECO)
Exelon, ComEd and PECO account for their regulated electric and
gas operations in accordance with SFAS No. 71,
“Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of
Regulation” (SFAS No. 71), which requires Exelon,
ComEd and PECO to reflect the effects of rate regulation in
their financial statements. Use of SFAS No. 71 is
applicable to utility operations that meet the following
criteria: (1) third-party regulation of rates;
(2) cost-based rates; and (3) a reasonable assumption
that all costs will be recoverable from customers through rates.
Exelon, ComEd and PECO continually assess whether the regulatory
assets and liabilities continue to meet the criteria for
probable future recovery or settlement in each regulatory
jurisdiction where they conduct business. This assessment
includes consideration of factors such as changes in applicable
regulatory environments, recent rate orders to other regulated
entities in the same jurisdiction, the status of any pending or
potential deregulation legislation and the ability to recover
costs through regulated rates. As of September 30, 2005,
Exelon, ComEd and PECO have concluded that the operations of
ComEd and PECO meet the criteria.
The electric businesses of both ComEd and PECO are currently
subject to rate freezes or rate caps that limit the opportunity
to recover increased costs and the costs of new investment in
facilities through rates during the rate freeze or rate cap
period. Because the current rates include the recovery of
existing regulatory assets and liabilities and rates in effect
during the rate freeze or rate cap periods are expected to allow
Exelon, ComEd and PECO to earn a reasonable rate of return
during that period, management believes the existing regulatory
assets and liabilities are probable of recovery. This
determination reflects the current political and regulatory
climate at the Federal level and in the states where ComEd and
PECO conduct business but is subject to change in the future. If
it is concluded in a future period that a separable portion of
their businesses no longer meets the criteria, Exelon, ComEd and
PECO are required to eliminate the financial statement
80
effects of regulation for that part of their business, which
would include the elimination of any or all regulatory assets
and liabilities that had been recorded in their Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The impact of not meeting the criteria of
SFAS No. 71 could be material to the financial
statements as a one-time extraordinary item and through impacts
on continuing operations and the ability to pay dividends under
applicable law. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
regarding regulatory issues.
Regulatory assets represent costs that have been deferred to
future periods when it is probable that the regulator will allow
for recovery through rates charged to customers. Regulatory
liabilities represent revenues received from customers to fund
expected costs that have not yet been incurred. As of
September 30, 2005, Exelon and PECO had recorded $4.5
billion of net regulatory assets within their Consolidated
Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2005, Exelon and ComEd had
recorded $2.3 billion of net regulatory liabilities within
their Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 14 of the
Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the significant regulatory assets
and liabilities of Exelon, ComEd and PECO.

Statements for discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
EXELON CORPORATION
Executive Overview
Financial Results. Exelon’s diluted earnings per
average common share were $1.07 for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to $0.85 for the same period
in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the following:
|
|
|
|
• |
higher margins on Generation’s wholesale market sales; |
|
|
• |
increased retail deliveries at ComEd and PECO due to favorable
weather; |
|
|
• |
unrealized mark-to-market gains from non-trading activities; |
|
|
• |
reduced severance and severance-related charges; |
|
|
• |
and premiums and other charges associated with the 2004 debt
repurchases under ComEd’s accelerated liability management
plan. |
The positive factors above were partially offset by the
following:
|
|
|
|
• |
increased purchased power expense at Generation due to
i) higher market prices, ii) increased sales to ComEd
and PECO at fixed, below-market rates resulting from hot summer
weather and an increase in the number of customers returning
from alternative electric suppliers, and iii) increased
unplanned outage days for Generation’s nuclear units; |
|
|
• |
increased operating and maintenance expenses; and |
|
|
• |
a gain recorded in 2004 from the reimbursement of costs incurred
prior to 2004 under the Department of Energy settlement (DOE
Settlement) related to spent nuclear fuel storage. |
Exelon’s diluted earnings per average common share were
$2.60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as
compared to $2.25 for the same period in 2004. The increase was
primarily due to the following:
|
|
|
|
• |
higher margins on Generation’s wholesale market sales; |
|
|
• |
favorable weather; |
|
|
• |
unrealized mark-to-market gains from non-trading activities; |
|
|
• |
realized gains related to the decommissioning trust fund
investments for the AmerGen plants; |
81
|
|
|
|
• |
lower interest expense due to debt retirements; |
|
|
• |
reduced severance and severance-related charges; and |
|
|
• |
premiums and other charges associated with the 2004 debt
repurchases related to ComEd’s accelerated liability
management plan. |
The positive factors above were partially offset by the
following:
|
|
|
|
• |
a reserve recorded for estimated future asbestos-related bodily
injury claims; |
|
|
• |
the sale of Boston Generating in 2004; |
|
|
• |
a gain recorded in 2004 as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle due to Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 46 (revised December
2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”
(FIN 46-R); and |
|
|
• |
a gain recorded in 2004 from the reimbursement of costs incurred
prior to 2004 under the DOE Settlement related to spent nuclear
fuel storage. |
Investment Strategy. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005, Exelon continued to follow a
disciplined approach in investing to maximize the earnings and
cash flows from its assets and businesses, while selling those
that do not meet its strategic goals. Highlights include:
|
|
|
|
• |
Proposed Merger with PSEG — On July 19,
2005, the shareholders of Public Service Enterprise Group
Incorporated (PSEG) approved the proposed merger of PSEG
with and into Exelon (Merger). On July 22, 2005,
Exelon’s shareholders approved the issuance of Exelon
shares pursuant to the Merger. |
On June 30, 2005, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) approved the Merger without a hearing. State
regulatory proceedings regarding the approval of the Merger are
pending before the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU)
and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC). A
decision of the full NJBPU can reasonably be expected by
approximately May 15, 2006, and a decision of the full
PAPUC can be expected by January 2006.
See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information. Additionally, see
Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further information.

Sale of Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe) — On
January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a
series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale
of its investment in Sithe. Specifically, subsidiaries of
Generation closed on the acquisition of Reservoir Capital
Group’s 50% interest in Sithe and the sale of 100% of Sithe
to Dynegy, Inc. (Dynegy). Prior to closing on the sale to
Dynegy, subsidiaries of Generation received from Sithe
approximately $65 million in cash distributions. As a
result of the sale, Exelon and Generation deconsolidated from
their balance sheets approximately $820 million of debt and
were released from approximately $125 million of credit
support. Dynegy acquired $32 million of cash as part of the
sale of Sithe. Additionally, Exelon and Generation recorded
$55 million of liabilities related to certain
indemnifications provided by Generation to Dynegy and other
liabilities directly resulting from the transaction. These
liabilities were taken into account in the determination of the
net gain on sale of $19 million (before income taxes).
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, Exelon
and Generation recorded a $2 million decrease in such
liabilities as a result of the expiration of certain tax
indemnifications. As a result, Exelon and Generation’s
liabilities and gain (before income taxes) related to the
transaction as of September 30, 2005 were $53 million
and $21 million, respectively. See Note 4 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the sale of Generation’s investment
in Sithe. |
Financing Activities. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
met their respective capital resource requirements primarily
with internally generated cash during the third quarter of 2005.
See the respective
82
Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31,
2005 and June 30, 2005 for information on the financing
activities which occurred in the first and second quarters of
2005.
|
|
|
|
• |
On July 1, 2005, ComEd retired $163 million of 7%
First Mortgage Bonds on the scheduled maturity date using
internally generated cash. |
Regulatory Developments — Illinois. As
discussed in Note 5 — Regulatory Issues, ComEd
has filed and has pending two regulatory proceedings before the
Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). One, referred to as the
Procurement Case, seeks approval of tariffs that would implement
a competitive power procurement process using a reverse-auction
process. The other, referred to as the Rate Case, seeks, among
other things, to allocate the costs of supplying electricity and
to adjust ComEd’s rates for delivering electricity
effective January 2, 2007. This request, if granted, would
increase ComEd’s annual revenues by approximately
$300 million relative to current levels, exclusive of the
effect of the Procurement Case. The Rate Case also proposes
procedures under which ComEd will allocate the costs from the
Procurement Case among ComEd customers. The results of the Rate
Case are not expected to be known until at least the third
quarter of 2006.
Several parties, including the Illinois Attorney General,
Citizens’ Utility Board (CUB), Cook County State’s
Attorney’s Office and the Environment Law and Public Policy
Center, attacked the legality of the proposal in filings made at
the ICC, which attack the ICC rejected. These same parties have
attacked the legality of the proposal in a subsequent proceeding
in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, which is
currently pending. In addition, the Governor of Illinois has
attacked the proposed procurement process and has appointed the
former Executive Director of CUB to be the Chairman of the ICC.
ComEd has filed a motion with the ICC seeking the recusal of the
new Chairman from the Procurement Case, which is pending. The
Chairman has informed ComEd that he has retained legal counsel
to advise him on the recusal request and that he would not
participate in ICC proceedings or discussions relating to the
Procurement Case while he considers ComEd’s request. ComEd
will consider taking further appropriate legal action, depending
on the actions of the Chairman and the ICC.
These developments indicate a more difficult and challenging
regulatory environment in Illinois, which could have adverse
consequences to ComEd and the other Registrants, as discussed
below under “Outlook for the Remainder of 2005 and
Beyond.” In addition, the response to these developments,
including any settlements reached, could affect other pending
regulatory proceedings.
On October 17, 2005, ComEd and Generation filed an
application with the FERC seeking approval that the proposed
Illinois auction process meets FERC principles and that if
Generation is selected as a wining bidder in the Illinois
auction, the standard agreements under which Generation would
sell energy, capacity and ancillary services to ComEd would be
acceptable to FERC.
Partial Settlement before PAPUC. On September 13,
2005, PECO filed before the PAPUC a partial settlement regarding
distribution and transmission rates through 2010 and made other
financial commitments contingent upon the approval of
PECO’s application to the PAPUC related to the Merger. The
settlement reflects the conclusion of a process involving the
majority of PECO customer groups during which PECO’s cost
data, return on equity and estimated Merger synergies were
reviewed. If approved, the partial settlement would require PECO
to lower its rates by $120 million over four years and cap
its rates through the end of 2010. During the rate cap period,
the PAPUC would retain the right to lower PECO rates if they
were found to be excessive, and PECO retains the right to seek
rate increases if certain unanticipated events occur (changes in
tax rates, etc.). The partial settlement also provides
substantial funding for alternative energy and environmental
projects, economic development, and expanded outreach and
assistance for low-income customers. PECO also made commitments
for enhanced customer service and reliability, commitments for
charitable giving and employment, and a pledge to maintain its
Philadelphia headquarters. Certain parties to the Merger
proceedings have challenged the partial settlement.
Market-Based Rates Filing. On July 5, 2005, the FERC
approved Exelon’s continued authority to charge
market-based rates for wholesale sales of electricity, including
to its affiliates ComEd and PECO. In the same order, the FERC
stated that Exelon had failed to address the affiliate abuse
issue of the FERC’s market-based rate eligibility test and
used that statement as the basis for instituting a proceeding
under the
83
provision of the Federal Power Act, section 206, and
establishing a refund effective date of July 26, 2005 in
the event that the FERC ultimately finds that Exelon did not in
fact qualify for market-based rates. On August 4, 2005,
Exelon filed a Petition for Rehearing asking the FERC to rescind
that part of its market-based rate order. Exelon addressed the
affiliate abuse issue in its original November 2003 triennial
update filing. The market-based rate order also directed Exelon
to make compliance filings within 30 days of the order
amending the market-based rate tariffs of Exelon’s various
subsidiaries to include a code of conduct precluding sales to
PSEG’s utility affiliate without specific authorization
from the FERC for those sales. Concurrently with the rehearing
request, Exelon made those tariff amendment filings too. Exelon
still expects the FERC to make a decision regarding the
rehearing request in 2005. If the FERC were to suspend
Generation’s market-based rate authority, Generation would
be required to supply and implement a plan for mitigation of
market power. FERC’s default mitigation would require
Generation to file and obtain FERC acceptance of cost-based rate
schedules or schedules tied to a public index. In addition, the
loss of market-based rate authority would subject Generation to
the accounting, record-keeping and reporting requirements that
are imposed on public utilities with cost-based rate schedules.
Repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(PUHCA). Exelon is a registered holding company and subject
to a number of restrictions under PUHCA. These restrictions
involve financing, investments and affiliate transactions.
Exelon has an order under PUHCA authorizing financing
transactions for the Registrants within certain limits. Exelon
also has an order under PUHCA authorizing development
activities, the formation of new intermediate subsidiaries for
internal corporate structuring, internal corporate
reorganizations, and investments in certain
non-U.S. energy-related subsidiaries. PUHCA also limits the
businesses in which Exelon can engage and the investments that
Exelon can make and requires that Exelon’s utility
subsidiaries constitute a single system that can be operated in
an efficient, coordinated manner. Under the terms of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (the Energy Policy Act), PUHCA will be
repealed effective February 8, 2006. With the repeal of
PUHCA, Exelon will no longer be subject to these restrictions.
Under the Energy Policy Act, FERC will obtain additional
jurisdiction for merger review and for the review of affiliate
transactions, and FERC’s financing jurisdiction resumes to
the extent that it was preempted by PUHCA. Exelon continues to
review the effects of the Energy Policy Act and FERC’s
proposed rules with respect to future financing authority for
Exelon and its subsidiaries. To the extent that the SEC’s
jurisdiction under PUHCA preempted certain aspects of state
regulation of Exelon, the repeal of PUHCA will permit the states
in which Exelon and its subsidiaries operate to adopt additional
regulations if they so choose, absent any preemption by the FERC.
See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for information on other regulatory matters.
Outlook for the Remainder of 2005 and Beyond. In addition
to the items discussed in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Exelon’s future financial results could be affected by the
following:
|
|
|
|
• |
If the price at which ComEd is allowed to sell energy beginning
in 2007 is below ComEd’s cost to procure electricity, there
may be material adverse consequences to ComEd and, possibly,
Exelon. Depending upon the resolution of various issues and
whether a compromise settlement is achieved, these consequences
range from operating losses; increased costs and difficulty in
financing due to loss of ComEd’s investment grade credit
rating and a possible reduction in the other Registrants’
credit ratings; limited or lost access for ComEd to credit
markets to finance operations and capital investment; increased
costs and difficulty of procuring power due to loss of
ComEd’s capacity to enter into bilateral long-term energy
procurement contracts, which could likely force ComEd to procure
electricity at more volatile and potentially higher prices in
the spot market; and, under certain circumstances, possible
insolvency and bankruptcy. Moreover, to the extent ComEd is not
permitted to recover its costs, ComEd’s ability to maintain
and improve service may diminish and its ability to maintain
reliability may be impaired. In the nearer term, these prospects
could have adverse effects on ComEd’s liquidity if vendors
reduce credit or shorten payment terms or if ComEd’s
financing alternatives become more limited and significantly
less flexible. |

Exelon, through three wholly owned subsidiaries has investments
in synthetic fuel- producing facilities. Section 29 of the
Internal Revenue Code provides tax credits for the sale of
synthetic fuel produced from coal. However, Section 29
contains a provision under which credits are phased out (i.e.,
eliminated) in the event crude oil prices for a year exceed
certain thresholds. Based on the actual pricing to date and
expected futures prices for the remaining three months of 2005,
Exelon estimates that it will not exceed the threshold for a
phase out of tax credits in 2005. |
|
|
|
The following table (in dollars) provides the estimated
phase-out prices per barrel of oil and the annual Reference
Price for 2006 and 2007 based on the New York Mercantile
Exchange, Inc. index (NYMEX): |

Estimated phase-out ranges are calculated using inflation rates
published by the IRS after year-end. The inflation rate used by
Exelon to estimate the 2006 and 2007 phase-out ranges was 2%. |
|
|
|
Based on the table above, the estimated annual Reference Price
based on the NYMEX would have to exceed $59 and $61 in 2006 and
2007, respectively, for a phase-out to begin. As of
September 30, 2005, Exelon estimates that there could be a
significant phase out of tax credits in 2006 and 2007 based on
the expected futures prices. |
|
|
The variable components of the purchase price are subject to
refund from the operators of the facilities to the extent that
there is a tax credit phase-out. Given the refundable nature of
the variable components of the purchase price and operating
losses paid to the sellers and operators of the facilities,
respectively, Exelon’s results of operations and cash flows
are not anticipated to be affected by a phase-out of tax credits
due to a rise in crude oil prices to the extent of these
variable components (notwithstanding the differences in the
timing of refundable variable payments and the associated
refunds). However, Exelon’s results of operations and cash
flows could be negatively affected to the extent that Exelon is
not allocated enough tax credits to cover the principal and
interest payments due on the non-recourse notes representing the
non-refundable fixed component of the purchase price. |
|
|
Absent any efforts to mitigate market price exposure, a phase
out could result in the reduction of the non-operating net
income generated by the investments and could result in an
estimated after-tax non-operating loss of up to $70 million
per year in the event all tax credits are completely eliminated.
In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered into certain derivatives
in the normal course of trading operations to economically hedge
a portion of this exposure. These derivatives could result in
after-tax cash proceeds to Exelon of up to $14 million,
$42 million and $42 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007,
respectively, in the event the tax credits are completely
phased-out. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
regarding Exelon’s investments in synthetic fuel-producing
facilities. |

As of September 30, 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have
not significantly affected the Registrants’ results of
operations and cash flows. However, the cost of certain supplies
and lead time to order these supplies may increase significantly
in 2006. The Registrants are currently assessing and will
continue to monitor these potential impacts. |

The Governor of Pennsylvania issued a press release on
October 19, 2005 requesting the utility companies within
Pennsylvania to make various concessions to low income customers
during the upcoming heating season, including increasing the
Customer Assistance Program participation, amortizing the cost
of gas price increases over greater than the normal twelve-month
period and deferring rate increases until after the heating
season. This request is in response to the anticipated high
costs of gas this coming winter. PECO is currently reviewing the
request of the Governor and has not yet determined the impact,
if any, on its results of operations or cash flows. |

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared
to the same period in 2004 due to increased revenues at Energy
Delivery and Generation. The increase in revenues at Energy
Delivery was primarily due to favorable weather conditions and
an increase in the number of customers choosing ComEd or PECO as
their electric supplier. The increase in revenues from
non-affiliates at Generation was primarily due to higher prices,
partially offset by lower volumes sold to the market and the
expiration of Generation’s purchase power agreement with
Midwest Generation in 2004. See further analysis and discussion
of operating revenues by segment below.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased
power and fuel expense increased during the three months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004
primarily due to an increase in power purchased by Generation at
overall higher market energy prices due to higher natural gas
and oil prices. Purchased power represented 28% of
Generation’s total supply for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to 26% for the same period in
2004. See further analysis and discussion of purchased power and
fuel expense by segment below.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and
maintenance expense increased for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 compared with the same period in 2004.
The increase was primarily due to the gain recorded in 2004
related to the DOE Settlement, higher nuclear operating costs
and increased storm costs, partially offset by reduced severance
and benefit expense. See further discussion of operating and
maintenance expenses by segment below.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The
decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same
period in 2004 was primarily due to the establishment of an
asset retirement cost (ARC) for retired nuclear units
recorded in the third quarter 2004 and immediately impaired
through depreciation expense, as this asset was associated with
retired nuclear units that do not have any remaining useful
life, partially offset by capital additions and increased
competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization expense.
Operating Income. Exclusive of the changes in
operating revenues, purchased power and fuel expense, operating
and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization
expense discussed above, the change in operating income for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the
same period in 2004 was the result of increased taxes other than
income.
86
Other Income and Deductions. The change in other
income and deductions reflects a 2004 charge at ComEd associated
with the accelerated retirement of debt.
Effective Income Tax Rate. Exelon’s effective
income tax rate from continuing operations decreased from 32.7%
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 32.2% for
the same period in 2005. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion
of the change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005,
subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions
that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in
Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially
all components of Enterprises and AllEnergy Gas & Electric
Marketing LLC (AllEnergy), a business within Exelon Energy,
which is part of Generation. Accordingly, the results of
operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these entities
have been presented as discontinued operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 within
Exelon’s (for Sithe, AllEnergy and Enterprises) and
Generation’s (for Sithe and AllEnergy) Consolidated
Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2
and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe,
certain Enterprises businesses and AllEnergy as discontinued
operations and the sale of Sithe. The results of Sithe and
AllEnergy are further discussed in the Generation discussion
below.
Income from discontinued operations was $1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of an
adjustment to the gain on sale of Sithe. There was no income or
loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2004.

Results of Operations by Business Segment |
Exelon evaluates its performance on a business segment basis.
The comparisons of operating results and other statistical
information for the three months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004 set forth below reflect intercompany transactions,
which are eliminated in Exelon’s consolidated financial
statements.
Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of
Enterprises in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1,
2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment and is
included in the “other” category within the results of
operations by business segment tables below. Segment information
presented below for 2004 has been adjusted to present it on a
comparable basis with 2005. See Note 15 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further segment
information.

Net Income. Energy Delivery’s net income for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the
same period in 2004 increased primarily as a result of higher
revenues, net of related purchased power expense, at ComEd and
PECO due to favorable weather and a 2004 charge at ComEd
associated with the accelerated retirement of debt.

Weather. The demand for electricity and gas is affected
by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business,
very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the
electric and gas businesses, very cold weather in other months
are referred to as “favorable weather conditions”
because these weather conditions result in increased sales of
electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand.
Energy Delivery’s revenues were positively affected by
favorable weather conditions at ComEd and PECO in the third
quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. In the
ComEd and PECO service territories, cooling degree days were 91%
and 38% higher, respectively, than the prior year.
Customer choice. For the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, 23% and 28% of energy
delivered to Energy Delivery’s retail customers was
provided by alternative electric suppliers or under the ComEd
Power Purchase Option (PPO).
All ComEd and PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy
from an alternative electric supplier. This choice generally
does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue
collected from customers related to supplied energy and
generation service. In PECO’s case, operating income is not
affected by customer choice since any increase or decrease in
revenues is completely offset by any related increase or
decrease in purchased power expense. As of September 30,
2005, one alternative supplier was approved to serve residential
customers in the ComEd service territory. However, no
residential customers have selected this alternative supplier.

For ComEd, the increase in revenues related to customer choice
was primarily from a decrease in non-residential customers in
Illinois electing to purchase energy from an alternative
electric supplier. This decrease relates to the continued
increase in the energy market price for electricity, which makes
ComEd a more economical choice for certain customers. The
increase in electric retail revenue associated with customer
choice at PECO primarily related to a significant number of
residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider
in December 2004. This action followed the assignment of
approximately 194,000 residential customers to alternative
electric suppliers for a one-year term beginning in December
2003, as required by the PAPUC and PECO’s final electric
restructuring order.
Volume. The decrease in ComEd’s electric revenues
attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and
customer choice, was primarily due to decreased usage per
customer, generally in the small and large commercial and
industrial customer classes. The increase in PECO’s
electric revenues attributable to volume, exclusive of the
effects of weather and customer choice, was primarily due to
increased usage across all customer classes.
Rate changes and mix. With respect to ComEd, the
increased wholesale market price of electricity and other
adjustments to the energy component of its CTC calculation
decreased the collection of CTC by $20 million in 2005 as
compared to 2004. Also contributing to the decrease was lower
average rates paid by residential and large commercial and
industrial customers totaling $25 million. The lower
average residential rates relate to the volume discounts
associated with the increased usage year over year due to
favorable weather. As a result of increasing mitigation factors,
changes in energy prices and the ability of certain customers to
establish fixed, multi-year CTC rates, ComEd anticipates that
CTC revenues will range from $90 million to
$110 million annually in 2005 and 2006, compared to CTC
revenues of $169 million in 2004. Under current Illinois
law, no CTCs will be collected after 2006.
The increase in PECO’s electric revenues attributable to
rate changes and mix resulted from changes in usage patterns in
all customer classes.
The increase in PECO’s gas revenues attributable to rate
changes and mix was due to increases in rates through
PAPUC-approved changes to the purchased gas adjustment clause
that became effective June 1, 2005 and September 1,
2005. The average purchased gas cost rate per million cubic feet
in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
12% higher than the average rate for the same period in 2004.
PJM transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and
purchased power expense each decreased by $12 million
mainly due to a decrease in network service charges.
T&O/SECA rates. Revenues decreased $3 million at
ComEd as a result of the elimination of T&O rates in
accordance with FERC orders that became effective
December 1, 2004. Effective December 1, 2004, PJM
became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and
ComEd and PECO became obligated to pay SECA charges – see
“Purchased Power and Fuel Expense” below. The
elimination of T&O revenues and inclusion of SECA revenues
had a minimal impact on PECO as T&O revenues recognized in
the past were not material and SECA revenues currently being
recognized also are not material. See Note 5 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on T&O/SECA rates.

Weather. The increase in purchased power and fuel expense
attributable to weather was due to favorable weather conditions
in the ComEd and PECO service territories.
Prices. ComEd’s purchased power expense increased
$25 million due to higher prices associated with its PPA
with Generation. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power
Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with Generation,
starting in January 1, 2005, ComEd began paying higher
prices for its purchased power from Generation and ceased to
procure its ancillary services from Generation. This agreement
fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31,
2006 based upon the current market prices as of April 30,
2004. In 2000, ComEd and Generation entered into a PPA that
fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31,
2004 based upon the then-current market prices. PECO’s
purchased power expense increased due to a change in the mix of
average pricing related to its PPA with Generation. Fuel expense
for gas increased due to higher gas prices. See “Operating
Revenues” above.
Customer choice. The increase in purchased power expense
resulting from customer choice was primarily due to fewer ComEd
non-residential customers electing to purchase energy from an
alternative electric supplier and a significant number of
residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider
in December 2004.
Volume. The increase in PECO’s purchased power
expense attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of
weather, was primarily due to increased usage in all customer
classes.
T&O collections/SECA rates. Prior to the FERC orders
issued in November 2004, ComEd collected T&O rates for
transmission service scheduled out of or across ComEd’s
transmission system. Rates collected as the transmission owner
were recorded in operating revenues. After joining PJM on
May 1, 2004, PJM allocated T&O collections to ComEd as
a load-serving entity. The collections received by ComEd as a
load-serving entity have been recorded as a decrease to
purchased power expense. ComEd’s purchased power expense
increased $9 million due to ComEd no longer collecting
T&O revenues in 2005.
Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay
SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became
obligated to pay SECA charges. During the three months ended
September 30, 2005, ComEd recorded SECA collections net of
SECA charges of $13 million, and PECO recorded SECA charges
of $3 million. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
T&O/ SECA rates.
PJM transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and
purchased power expense each decreased $12 million mainly
due to a decrease in network service charges.

(a) |
The increase in injuries and damages at PECO resulted from an
annual actuarial study performed in the third quarter of 2005. |
|
|
(b) |
Consists of salary continuance severance costs, curtailment
charges for pension and other postretirement benefits, and
special termination benefit charges related to other
postretirement benefits. The decrease reflects reduced
severance-related activity in 2005 as compared to 2004. |
|
|
(c) |
Pension expense in 2005 is lower than in 2004 due in large part
to significant pension plan contributions made in the first
quarter of 2005. PECO made an adjustment in the third quarter
due to an actuarial study, which caused pension expense to be
equal to 2004. PECO expects pension expense will be lower in
2005 than in 2004 on an annual basis. See Note 9 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information. |

ComEd anticipates amortizing on an annual basis approximately
$43 million of transition costs in 2005 and 2006, which is
consistent with the amount amortized for 2004. The quarterly
amount of this amortization during the year is dependent on the
projected operating margin by quarter, which can result in
fluctuations compared to prior periods. ComEd expects to fully
recover its remaining recoverable transition costs regulatory
asset balance of $55 million by the end of 2006. Consistent
with the provision of the Illinois legislation, regulatory
assets may be recovered at amounts that provide ComEd an earned
return on common equity within the Illinois legislation earnings
threshold.
PECO’s additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance
with its original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition
Act.
The increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to capital
additions.
92
In January 2005, as part of a broader Energy Delivery systems
strategy associated with the pending Merger with PSEG,
Exelon’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of
a new customer information and billing system at PECO. The
approval of this new system requires the accelerated
depreciation of PECO’s current system, which results in
additional annual depreciation expense in 2005 and 2006 of
$15 million and $10 million, respectively, relative to
2004 levels. If additional system changes are approved,
additional accelerated depreciation may be required.
The decrease in other amortization expense at ComEd was
primarily due to a $5 million decrease resulting from the
completion of the amortization of one of its software packages
in 2004.
Taxes Other Than Income. The changes in taxes

(a) |
As these taxes were collected from customers and remitted to the
taxing authorities and included in revenues and expenses, the
increase in tax expense was offset by a corresponding increase
in revenues. |
|
|
(b) |
During 2004, a refund was received for Illinois electricity
distribution taxes. |
Interest Expense. The reduction in interest
expense at ComEd and PECO of $15 million and
$6 million, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was
primarily due to long-term debt retirements and prepayments in
2004 at ComEd pursuant to Exelon’s accelerated liability
management plan and payments on long-term debt owed to ComEd
Transitional Funding Trust (CTFT) and PECO Energy
Transition Trust (PETT).
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The
decrease in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was a
result of a decrease in interest expense of the deconsolidated
financing trusts of ComEd and PECO due to scheduled repayments
of outstanding long-term debt.
Net Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt. In
2004, Exelon initiated an accelerated liability management plan
at ComEd that resulted in the retirement of approximately
$768 million of long-term debt, of which $618 million
was retired during the third quarter of 2004. During the three
months ended September 30, 2004, ComEd recorded a charge of
$106 million associated with the retirement of debt under
the plan. The components of this charge included the following:
$63 million related to prepayment premiums;
$11 million related to net unamortized premiums, discounts
and debt issuance costs; $23 million of losses on
reacquired debt previously deferred as regulatory assets; and
$9 million related to settled cash-flow interest-rate swaps
previously deferred as regulatory assets.

|
|
(b) |
The decrease in interest income on the long-term receivable from
UII, LLC resulted from this receivable being repaid in late 2004. |
Income Taxes. ComEd’s effective income tax
rate was 40.9% and 43.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease was
primarily attributable to prior period income tax adjustments
recorded in 2004 related to plant basis differences. See
Note 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details of the components of the
effective income tax rates.
PECO’s effective income tax rate was 33.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 37.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The effective income
tax rate in 2005 reflects a tax benefit related to the 2004
return to accrual true-up adjustment. See Note 10 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
details of the components of the effective income tax rates.

Trading volumes of 6,757 GWhs and 7,132 GWhs for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are
not included in the table above.
Electric sales to affiliates. The increase of
$266 million in revenue from sales to affiliates was
primarily due to an increase in sales volumes due to
warmer-than-normal weather conditions in the Energy Delivery
regions and customers returning from alternative electric
suppliers. The sales volumes to customers in the Energy Delivery
regions increased $235 million, while the remaining
$31 million increase in sales to affiliates was due to
overall higher prices associated with the mix of on-peak and
off-peak power sales to Energy Delivery.
Wholesale and retail electric sales. The changes in
Generation’s wholesale and retail electric sales for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same
period in 2004 consisted of the following:

The increase in wholesale and retail electric sales was due to
overall higher market prices, on lower volumes sold to the
market during the third quarter of 2005. Generation had less
power to sell into the market as a result of higher demand for
power sold to affiliates and the expiration of its purchase
power agreement with Midwest Generation in 2004.
Retail gas sales. Retail gas sales increased
$22 million primarily due to significantly higher gas
prices in the overall market.
Other revenues. The decrease in other revenues of
$10 million was primarily due to lower emission sales and
lower sales from tolling and gas management agreements of
$22 million during the third quarter of 2005. This decrease
was partially offset by an increase in revenue of
$12 million associated with revenue from Generation’s
operating services agreements with PSEG and a subsidiary of
Tamuin International, Inc. (formerly Sithe International, Inc.).
The increased revenue was substantially offset by a
corresponding increase in Generation’s operating and
maintenance expense. See Note 3 of Exelon’s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form
10-K and Note 4 in this Form 10-Q for further
information regarding acquisitions and dispositions.

Increase in purchased power and fuel expense

|
|
Price. The increase of $213 million reflects overall
energy market conditions, which resulted in higher prices for
purchased power and raw materials (e.g., oil, natural gas and
coal) used in the production of electricity during the third
quarter of 2005. These factors contributed to an increase in
average purchase power costs of approximately $12 per MWh for
the period.
Volume. The increase in purchased power and fuel expense
of $241 million attributable to volume was primarily due to
an increase in the power purchased in the market. Purchased
power volumes were higher than prior year due to the timing and
increase in unplanned outage days for Generation’s nuclear
units, which resulted in additional spot market purchases to
supply the increase in Energy Delivery’s load requirements
due to warmer than normal weather conditions.
Economic hedges. Mark-to-market gains on hedging
activities were $86 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to gains of $57 million
for the same period of 2004. Approximately $42 million of
the mark-to-market gains on hedging activities for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 are anticipated to reverse
subsequent to 2005.
Other. Other decreases in purchased power and fuel
expense were primarily due to lower transmission expense
resulting from the expansion of the PJM region due to new
transmission owners joining PJM.
Generation’s average margin per MWh of electricity sold for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was as

See Note 14 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a
full discussion of the spent nuclear fuel storage settlement
agreement reached with the DOE. |
The increase in operating and maintenance expense was primarily
due to the following items recorded in the third quarter of
2004, which resulted in lower operating and maintenance expense
for that period; a $52 million settlement with the DOE to
reimburse Generation for cost associated with the storage of
spent nuclear fuel and a $36 million reduction in the
contractual obligation that Generation has to ComEd related to
decommissioning obligations which was included in the
decommissioning-related activity. The increases in nuclear
operating costs were due to increases in refueling outage costs
related to planned nuclear refueling outages and various other
nuclear operating and maintenance expenses primarily higher
security and inflationary costs. Operating and maintenance
expense associated with Generation’s operating services
agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc.
(formerly Sithe International, Inc.) was $8 million. The
increase in operating and maintenance expense associated with
Tamuin International, Inc. was substantially offset by the
corresponding increase in Generation’s other revenues
discussed above.

number of non-refueling outage days in the three months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
The costs associated with the additional non-refueling outage
days and higher costs for planned refueling outage inspections
and maintenance resulted in a higher production cost per MWh
produced for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as
compared to the same period in 2004. There were two planned
refueling outages and five non-refueling outages that began
during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared
to one planned refueling outage and four non-refueling outages
that began during the same period in 2004.
In the three months ended September 30, 2005, one of the
Quad Cities’ units returned to Extended Power Uprate
(EPU) generation levels after extensive testing and load
verification on its new replacement steam dryer was completed.
The other Quad Cities’ unit returned to EPU generation
levels in the second quarter of 2005 following replacement and
completion of extensive testing and load verification on its new
104
steam dryer. During the same period in 2004, both Quad
Cities’ units operated at pre-EPU generation levels due to
performance issues with their steam dryers.
Depreciation and Amortization. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004
was primarily due to the establishment of an ARC for retired
nuclear units of $36 million recorded in the third quarter
2004 and immediately impaired through depreciation expense, as
this asset was associated with retired nuclear units that do not
have any remaining useful life. This decrease was partially
offset by the increase in depreciation expense in 2005 due to
continued capital additions.
Taxes Other Than Income. The increase in taxes
other than income for the three months ended September 30,
2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to
an increase in Generation’s sales and use tax reserve of
$7 million based upon an updated tax analysis.
Other, Net. The increase in other income for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the
same period in the prior year was primarily due to a
$7 million impairment charge, recorded in the third quarter
of 2004, associated with certain trust fund investments for the
decommissioning of the AmerGen plants that were determined to be
other-than-temporarily impaired. Refer to Notes 14 and 16
of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information
contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting
for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust
fund investments.
Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income
tax rate from continuing operations was 39.6% for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 38.4% for the
same period in 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
the change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005,
subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions
that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in
Sithe. In addition, Generation has sold or wound down
substantially all components of AllEnergy, a business within
Exelon Energy. Accordingly, the results of operations and the
gain on the sale of Sithe have been presented as discontinued
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005
within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income. The $2 million of income from the
disposal is associated with the expiration of an obligation that
Exelon recorded upon the disposal of Sithe. See Notes 2 and
4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the presentation of Sithe and
AllEnergy as discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to
the same period in 2004 due to increased revenues at Energy
Delivery partially offset by decreased revenues from
non-affiliates at Generation. The increase in revenues at Energy
Delivery was primarily due to favorable weather conditions and
an increase in the number of customers choosing ComEd or PECO as
their electric supplier and higher transmission revenues,
partially offset by decreased CTC collections at ComEd. The
decrease in revenues from non-affiliates at Generation was
primarily due to the impact of the sale of Boston Generating in
2004 and reduced volume, partially offset by higher prices. See
further analysis and discussion of operating revenues by segment
below.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased
power and fuel expense increased during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004
primarily due to higher market energy prices and increased costs
for transmission and ancillary services from PJM, partially
offset by the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004, favorable
mark-to-market adjustments related to non-trading activities and
the expiration of the purchase power agreement with Midwest
Generation. Purchased power represented 23% of Generation’s
total supply for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
compared to 24% for the same period in 2004. See further
analysis and discussion of purchased power and fuel expense by
segment below.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and
maintenance expense increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004
primarily due to a reserve for the estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims that was recorded in the
second quarter of 2005, the gain recorded in 2004 related to the
DOE Settlement, higher costs associated with planned nuclear
refueling outages and increased costs related to an operating
agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc.
(formerly Sithe International, Inc.), partially offset by the
sale of Boston Generating and decreased severance and benefit
expense. See further discussion of operating and maintenance
expenses by segment below.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The
increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same
period in 2004 was primarily due to additional plant placed in
service, increased CTC amortization expense and increased
amortization expense related to Generation’s ARC asset,
partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization
expense due to the sale of Boston Generating.
106
Operating Income. Exclusive of the changes in
operating revenues, purchased power and fuel expense, operating
and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization
expense discussed above, the change in operating income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the
same period in 2004 was the result of increased taxes other than
income, partially offset by the sale of Boston Generating and
reduced property tax expense.
Other Income and Deductions. The change in other
income and deductions reflects a 2004 charge at ComEd associated
with the accelerated retirement of debt and the related
reduction in interest expense from these debt retirements and
increased realized gains related to the decommissioning trust
fund investments for the AmerGen plants, partially offset by
increased interest expense on short-term debt at Exelon, reduced
equity from the earnings of synthetic fuel investments and the
gain recorded in 2004 related to the sale of Boston Generating.
Effective Income Tax Rate. Exelon’s effective
income tax rate from continuing operations was 30.8% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 31.0% for
the same period in 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion
of the change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005,
subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions
that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in
Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially
all components of Enterprises and AllEnergy. Accordingly, the
results of operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these
entities have been presented as discontinued operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 within
Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2 and 4 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the presentation of Sithe, certain
Enterprises businesses and AllEnergy as discontinued operations
and the sale of Sithe. The results of Sithe and AllEnergy are
included in the Generation discussion below.
The income from discontinued operations increased by
$12 million from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to the gain on
the sale of Sithe in the first quarter of 2005.

Results of Operations by Business Segment |
Exelon evaluates its performance on a business segment basis.
The comparisons of operating results and other statistical
information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004 set forth below reflect intercompany transactions,
which are eliminated in Exelon’s consolidated financial
statements.
Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of
Enterprises in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1,
2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment and is
included in the “other” category within the results of
operations by business segment tables below. Segment information
presented below for 2004 has been adjusted to present it on a
comparable basis with 2005. See Note 15 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further segment
information.

Net Income. Energy Delivery’s net income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the
same period in 2004 decreased primarily as a result of higher
purchased power prices effective January 1, 2005 at ComEd
associated with its PPA with Generation, partially offset by
higher revenues, net of related purchased power expense, at
ComEd and PECO due to favorable weather and a 2004 charge at
ComEd associated with the accelerated retirement of debt.

Weather. The demand for electricity and gas is affected
by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business,
very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the
electric and gas businesses, very cold weather in other months
are referred to as “favorable weather conditions”
because these weather conditions result in increased sales of
electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand.
Energy Delivery’s electric and gas revenues were positively
affected by favorable weather conditions at ComEd and PECO in
2005 compared to the same period in 2004. In the ComEd service
territory, cooling and heating degree days were 87% higher and
5% lower, respectively, than the prior year. In the PECO service
territory, cooling and heating degree days were 19% and 1%
higher, respectively, than the prior year.
Customer choice. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, 25% and 28% of energy
delivered to Energy Delivery’s retail customers was
provided by alternative electric suppliers or under the ComEd
PPO.
All ComEd and PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy
from an alternative electric supplier. This choice generally
does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue
collected from customers related to supplied energy and
generation service. In PECO’s case, operating income is not
affected by customer choice since any increase or decrease in
revenues is completely offset by any related increase or
decrease in purchased power expense. As of September 30,
2005, one alternative supplier was approved to
109
serve residential customers in the ComEd service territory.
However, no residential customers have selected this alternative
supplier.

For ComEd, the increase in revenues was primarily from a
decrease in non-residential customers in Illinois electing to
purchase energy from alternative electric suppliers. This
decrease relates to the continued increase in the energy market
price for electricity, which makes ComEd a more economical
choice for certain customers. The increase in electric retail
revenue associated with customer choice at PECO primarily
relates to a significant number of residential customers
returning to PECO as their energy provider in December 2004.
This action followed the assignment of approximately 194,000
residential customers to alternative electric suppliers for a
one-year term beginning in December 2003, as required by the
PAPUC and PECO’s final electric restructuring order.
Volume. The decrease in ComEd’s electric revenues
from volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, was primarily
as a result of decreased sales in the small commercial
industrial customer classes, primarily offset by increases in
large commercial and industrial customers. The increase in
PECO’s electric revenues was primarily as a result of
higher delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and
customer choice, due to an increased number of customers and
increased usage per customer across all customer classes. The
decrease in PECO’s gas revenues attributable to volume,
exclusive of the effects of weather, was primarily due to
decreased customer usage.
Rate changes and mix. With respect to ComEd, the
increased wholesale market price of electricity and other
adjustments to the energy component of its CTC calculation
decreased the collection of CTC by $44 million in 2005 as
compared to 2004. Also contributing to the decrease was lower
average rates paid by residential and large commercial and
industrial customers totaling $28 million. The lower
average residential rates relate to the volume discounts
associated with the increased usage year over year due to
favorable weather. As a result of increasing mitigation factors,
changes in energy prices and the ability of certain customers to
establish fixed, multi-year CTC rates, ComEd anticipates that
CTC revenues will range from $90 million to
$110 million annually in 2005 and 2006, compared to annual
CTC revenues of $169 million in 2004. Under current
Illinois law, no CTCs will be collected after 2006.
The increase in PECO’s electric revenues attributable to
rate changes and mix resulted from changes in usage patterns in
all customer classes.
The increase in PECO’s gas revenues was due to increases in
rates through PAPUC-approved changes to the purchased gas
adjustment clause that became effective March 1, 2004,
March 1, 2005, June 1, 2005 and
110
September 1, 2005. The average purchased gas cost rate per
million cubic feet in effect for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was 7% higher than the average rate for
the same period in 2004.
PJM transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and
purchased power expense each increased by $49 million due
to ComEd’s May 1, 2004 entry into PJM Interconnection,
LLC (PJM).
T&O/ SECA rates. Revenues decreased $27 million
at ComEd as a result of the elimination of T&O rates in
accordance with FERC orders that became effective
December 1, 2004. Effective December 1, 2004, PJM
became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and
ComEd and PECO became obligated to pay SECA charges —
see “Purchased Power and Fuel Expense” below. The
elimination of T&O revenues and inclusion of SECA revenues
had a minimal impact on PECO as T&O revenues recognized in
the past were not material and SECA revenues currently being
recognized also are not material. See Note 5 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on T&O/SECA rates.
Other wholesale and miscellaneous revenues. ComEd’s
revenues increased $16 million primarily due to various
one-time adjustments, none of which were individually material,
that reduced revenues in 2004. PECO’s gas revenues
decreased $12 million primarily due to decreased off-system
sales.
Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The changes in
Energy Delivery’s purchased power and fuel expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same
period in 2004 consisted of the following:

Prices. ComEd’s purchased power expense increased
$466 million due to higher prices associated with its PPA
with Generation. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power
Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with Generation,
starting in January 1, 2005, ComEd began paying higher
prices for its purchased power from Generation and ceased to
procure its ancillary services from Generation. This agreement
fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31,
2006 based upon the current market prices as of April 30,
2004. In 2000, ComEd and Generation entered into a PPA that
fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31,
2004 based upon the then-current market prices. PECO’s
purchased power expense increased due to a change in the mix of
average pricing related to its PPA with Generation. Fuel expense
for gas increased due to higher gas prices. See “Operating
Revenues” above.
Weather. Energy Delivery’s increase in purchased
power and fuel expense from weather was due to favorable weather
conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories.
Customer choice. The increase in purchased power expense
from customer choice was primarily due to fewer ComEd
non-residential customers electing to purchase energy from an
alternative electric supplier and a significant number of
residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider
in December 2004.
PJM transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and
purchased power expense each increased by $49 million due
to its May 1, 2004 entry into PJM.
111
T&O collections/SECA rates. Prior to the FERC orders
issued in November 2004, ComEd collected T&O rates for
transmission service scheduled out of or across ComEd’s
transmission system. Rates collected as the transmission owner
were recorded in operating revenues. After joining PJM on
May 1, 2004, PJM allocated T&O collections to ComEd as
a load-serving entity. The collections received as a
load-serving entity were recorded as a decrease to purchased
power expense. ComEd’s purchased power expense increased
$13 million due to ComEd no longer collecting T&O
revenues in 2005.
Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay
SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became
obligated to pay SECA charges. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, ComEd recorded SECA collections net of
SECA charges of $30 million, and PECO recorded SECA charges
of $7 million. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
T&O/SECA rates.
Volume. The decrease in ComEd’s purchased power
expense attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of
weather and customer choice, was due to a decrease in the
average usage per customer, generally in the commercial and
industrial customer classes. The increase in PECO’s
purchased power expense attributable to volume, exclusive of the
effects of weather and customer choice, was due primarily to an
increased number of customers and increased usage patterns
across all customer classes. The decrease in PECO’s gas
fuel expense from lower delivery volume, exclusive of the
effects of weather, was primarily due to decreased customer
usage.
PJM administrative fees. ComEd began paying PJM
administrative fees upon its full integration into PJM on
May 1, 2004. The increase reflects the impact of nine
months of expense in 2005 compared to five months of expense in
2004.
Other. The decrease in PECO’s gas fuel expense of
$14 million was associated with decreased off-system sales.
Operating and Maintenance Expense. The changes in
operating and maintenance expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004

ComEd anticipates amortizing on an annual basis approximately
$43 million of transition costs in 2005 and 2006, which is
consistent with the amount amortized for 2004. The quarterly
amount of this amortization during the year is dependent on the
projected operations margin by quarter, which can result in
fluctuations compared to prior periods. ComEd expects to fully
recover its remaining recoverable transition costs regulatory
asset balance of $55 million by the end of 2006. Consistent
with the provision of the Illinois legislation, regulatory
assets may be recovered at amounts that provide ComEd an earned
return on common equity within the Illinois legislation earnings
threshold.
PECO’s additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance
with its original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition
Act.
The increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to capital
additions.
In January 2005, as part of a broader Energy Delivery systems
strategy associated with the pending Merger with PSEG,
Exelon’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of
a new customer information and billing system at PECO. The
approval of this new system requires the accelerated
depreciation of PECO’s current system, which results in
additional annual depreciation expense in 2005 and 2006 of
$15 million and $10 million, respectively, relative to
2004 levels. If additional system changes are approved,
additional accelerated depreciation may be required.
The decrease in other amortization expense at ComEd was
primarily due to a $15 million decrease resulting from
completing the amortization of one of its software packages in
2004.
Taxes Other Than Income. The changes in taxes

Interest Expense. The reduction in interest
expense at ComEd and PECO of $65 million and
$17 million, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was
primarily due to long-term debt retirements and prepayments in
2004 at ComEd pursuant to Exelon’s accelerated liability
management plan and payments on long-term debt owed to CTFT and
PETT.
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The
decrease in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was a
result of a decrease in interest expense of the deconsolidated
financing trusts of ComEd and PECO due to scheduled repayments
of outstanding long-term debt.
Net Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt. In
2004, Exelon initiated an accelerated liability management plan
at ComEd that resulted in the retirement of approximately
$768 million of long-term debt, of which $618 million
was retired during the third quarter of 2004. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2004, ComEd recorded a charge of
$106 million associated with the retirement of debt under
the plan. The components of this charge included the following:
$63 million related to prepayment premiums;
$11 million related to net unamortized premiums, discounts
and debt issuance costs; $23 million of losses on
reacquired debt previously deferred as regulatory assets; and
$9 million related to settled cash-flow interest-rate swaps
previously deferred as regulatory assets.

(a) |
|
Full service revenue reflects deliveries to customers taking
electric service under tariffed rates, which include the cost of
energy and the cost of the transmission and the distribution of
the energy. PECO’s tariffed rates also include a CTC. See
Note 5 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further information regarding CTC. |
|
(c) |
|
Revenues from customers choosing ComEd’s PPO include an
energy charge at market rates, transmission and distribution
charges and a CTC. |
|
(d) |
|
Delivery only revenue reflects revenue under tariffed rates from
customers electing to receive generation service from an
alternative electric supplier, which rates include a
distribution charge and a CTC. Prior to ComEd’s full
integration into PJM on May 1, 2004, ComEd’s
transmission charges received from alternative electric
suppliers were included in wholesale and miscellaneous revenue. |
|
(d) |
|
Wholesale and miscellaneous revenues include transmission
revenue (including revenue from PJM), sales to municipalities
and other wholesale energy sales. |

from sales to affiliates was primarily due to a
$492 million increase from overall higher prices associated
with Generation’s PPA with ComEd and a $319 million
increase from higher electric sales volume. As a result of the
Amended and Restated PPA as of April 30, 2004 with ComEd,
effective January 1, 2005, Generation began receiving
higher prices from ComEd for its purchased power. The increase
in electric sales to affiliates was associated with higher sales
volumes to Energy Delivery resulting from warmer than normal
weather conditions in the Energy Delivery service territories
during 2005 and Energy Delivery customers returning from
alternative electric suppliers.
Wholesale and retail electric sales. The changes in
Generation’s wholesale and retail electric sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same
period in 2004 consisted of the following:

Sales of Boston Generating of $9 million were included in
other revenues for 2004. |
Wholesale and retail sales decreased $239 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to the sale of
Boston Generating in May 2004. The remaining decrease in
wholesale and retail sales was primarily due to lower volumes of
current generation capacity sold to the market during 2005,
although the power was sold at overall higher prices. Generation
had less power to sell into the market as a result of higher
demand for
122
power sold to affiliates, the expiration of its purchase power
agreement with Midwest Generation in 2004 and lower fossil
generation in 2005.
Retail gas sales. Retail gas sales increased
$53 million primarily due to significantly higher prices in
the overall market.
Other revenues. The decrease in other revenues was
primarily due to a decrease of $42 million related to lower
fuel sales, a reduction in decommissioning revenue from ComEd
and lower sales from tolling and gas management agreements. This
decrease was nearly offset by an increase of $41 million
associated with revenue from Generation’s operating
services agreements with PSEG and Tamuin International, Inc. The
increased revenue from the operating services agreements was
substantially offset by a corresponding increase in
Generation’s operating and maintenance expense.

Price. The increase reflects overall higher market energy
prices for purchased power and higher natural gas and oil prices
during the first nine months of 2005. The increase in unplanned
outage days occurred during a period of higher energy prices
than prior periods. Additionally, overall energy market
conditions resulted in higher prices for raw materials (e.g.,
oil, gas and coal) used in the production of electricity. These
factors contributed to an increase in the average purchase power
costs of approximately $9 per MWh for the period.
Boston Generating. The decrease in purchased power and
fuel expense associated with Boston Generating was due to the
sale of the business in May 2004.
Economic hedges. Mark-to-market gains on hedging
activities were $127 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to gains of $40 million
for the same period of 2004. Approximately $42 million of
the mark-to-market gains on hedging activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 are anticipated to reverse
subsequent to 2005.
123
Volume. The reduced volume was primarily due to lower
volumes of purchased power in the market needed to meet Energy
Delivery’s load requirements. The decrease in fossil
generation was associated with the sale of Boston Generating in
May 2004.
Other. Other decreases in purchased power and fuel
expense were primarily due to lower transmission expense
resulting from the expansion of the PJM region due to new
transmission owners joining PJM and reduced inter-region
transmission charges, primarily associated with ComEd’s
integration into PJM during the second quarter of 2004.

recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a
full discussion of the spent nuclear fuel storage settlement
agreement reached with the DOE. |
The increase in operating and maintenance expense was due in
part to the following adjustments recorded in the third quarter
of 2004 which resulted in lower operating and maintenance
expense for that period; a $52 million settlement with the
DOE to reimburse Generation for cost associated with the storage
of spent nuclear fuel and a $36 million reduction in the
contractual obligation that Generation has to ComEd related to
decommissioning obligations which was included in the
decommissioning-related activity. The remaining increase was due
to a $43 million liability recorded in June 2005 for
estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims,
increases in nuclear operating costs associated with refueling
outage costs of $27 million related to planned nuclear
refueling outages, nuclear costs associated with the Salem Hope
Creek Operating
124
Services Agreement with PSEG that were reimbursed and included
in revenues, and increases in other nuclear operating and
maintenance expenses, primarily security and inflationary costs.
Operating and maintenance expense associated with
Generation’s operating service agreement with a subsidiary
of Tamuin International, Inc. (formerly Sithe International,
Inc.) was $34 million. The increase in operating and
maintenance associated with Tamuin International, Inc. was
substantially offset by the corresponding increase in
Generation’s other revenues as discussed above. The
increases in operating and maintenance expense were partially
offset by operating and maintenance expense of $57 million
associated with Boston Generating in the first six months of
2004. For further discussion of estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims, see Note 13 of the
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The lower nuclear fleet capacity factor resulted from a higher
number of planned refueling and non-refueling outage days in the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the
same period in 2004. The lower capacity factor and higher costs
associated with the planned refueling outages resulted in a
higher production cost per MWh for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
There were seven planned refueling outages and twenty
non-refueling outages that began during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to six planned refueling
outages and sixteen non-refueling outages that began during the
same period in 2004.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, both of the
Quad Cities’ units returned to Extended Power Uprate
(EPU) generation levels after extensive testing and load
verification on new replacement steam dryers was completed.
During the same period in 2004, both Quad Cities’ units
only operated intermittently at EPU generation levels due to
performance issues with their steam dryers.
Depreciation and Amortization. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004
was primarily due to the establishment of an ARC asset for
retired nuclear units of $36 million recorded in the third
quarter of 2004 and immediately impaired through depreciation
expense as this asset was associated with retired nuclear units
that do not have any remaining useful life. This decrease was
partially offset by depreciation expense of recent capital
additions.
Taxes Other Than Income. The decrease in taxes
other than income for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to
the reduction of the real estate tax reserve associated with the
settlement of Three Mile Island Nuclear Station real estate
taxes and a reduction in taxes resulting from the sale of Boston
Generating in May 2004.
Other, Net. The decrease in other income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the
same period in the prior year was primarily due to the
$85 million gain ($52 million, net of taxes) on the
disposal of Boston Generating recorded in 2004, partially offset
by a $7 million impairment charge, recorded in the third
quarter of 2004, associated with certain trust fund investments
for the decommissioning of the AmerGen plants determined to be
other-than-temporarily impaired compared to a $2 million
other-than-temporarily impairment charge in 2005. Additionally,
other, net includes realized gains of $38 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 related to the
decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants,
primarily associated with changes in Generation’s
investment strategy in the second quarter of 2005. Realized
gains associated with the decommissioning trust fund investments
for the former ComEd
125
and PECO units were $14 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the changes in
Generation’s investment strategy, however, as a result of
the contractual agreement between Generation and its affiliates,
the gains on the investments associated with the former ComEd
and PECO units are offset within other, net and have no impact
on net income. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s
2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting for
nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust fund
investments.
Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income
tax rate from continuing operations was 38.9% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 38.3% for the
same period in 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
the change in the effective income tax rate.
Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005,
subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions
that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in
Sithe. In addition, Generation has sold or wound down
substantially all components of AllEnergy, a business within
Exelon Energy. Accordingly, the results of operations and the
gain on the sale of Sithe have been presented as discontinued
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income. Generation accounted for Sithe as an
equity method investment during the first quarter of 2004, and
Generation’s portion of Sithe’s results from
operations is included in the equity in losses of unconsolidated
affiliates within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended
March 31, 2004. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the presentation of Sithe and AllEnergy as
discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Exelon’s businesses are capital intensive and require
considerable capital resources. These capital resources are
primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from
operations. When necessary, Exelon obtains funds from external
sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings.
Exelon’s access to external financing on reasonable terms
depends on Exelon and its subsidiaries’ credit ratings and
general business conditions, as well as that of the utility
industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the
extent that Exelon no longer has access to the capital markets
at reasonable terms, Exelon has access to revolving credit
facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $1.5 billion
that it currently utilizes to support its commercial paper
programs. See the “Credit Matters” section of
“Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further
discussion.
Exelon primarily uses its capital resources, including cash, to
fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures,
retire debt, fund its pension obligations, pay common stock
dividends and invest in new and existing ventures. Exelon spends
a significant amount of cash on construction projects that have
a long-term return on investment. Additionally, ComEd and PECO
operate in a rate-regulated environment in which the amount of
new investment recovery may be limited and where such recovery
takes place over an extended period of time. As a result of
these factors, Exelon has historically operated with a working
capital deficit. However, Exelon currently expects operating
cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating and capital
expenditure requirements. Future acquisitions that Exelon may
undertake, other than the proposed Merger with PSEG which will
require the issuance of Exelon common stock in exchange for PSEG
common stock, may involve external debt financing or the
issuance of additional Exelon common stock.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
ComEd’s and PECO’s cash flows from operating
activities primarily result from sales of electricity and gas to
a stable and diverse base of retail customers at fixed prices
and are weighted toward the third quarter of each fiscal year.
ComEd’s and PECO’s future cash flows will be affected
by the economy, weather, customer choice and future regulatory
proceedings on their revenues and their ability to achieve
operating cost
126
reductions. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
regulatory proceedings. Generation’s cash flows from
operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric
energy to wholesale customers, including ComEd and PECO.
Generation’s future cash flows from operating activities
will be affected by future demand for and market prices of
energy and its ability to continue to produce and supply power
at competitive costs.
Cash flows from operations have been a reliable, steady source
of cash flow, sufficient to meet operating and capital
expenditures requirements. Taking into account the factors noted
above, Exelon also obtains cash from non-operating sources such
as the proceeds from the debt issuance in 2005 to fund
Exelon’s $2 billion pension contribution (see
Note 7 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Operating cash flows after 2006 could be negatively
affected by changes in the rate regulatory environments of ComEd
and PECO, although any effects are not expected to hinder the
ability of PECO to fund its business requirements. Under
Illinois law enacted in 1997, ComEd is required, beginning in
2007, to purchase energy in the wholesale energy markets in
order to meet the retail energy needs of ComEd’s customers
because ComEd does not own any generation. If the price at which
ComEd is allowed to sell energy beginning in 2007 is below
ComEd’s cost to procure electricity, there may be potential
material adverse consequences to ComEd and, possibly, Exelon.
Depending upon the resolution of various issues and whether a
compromise settlement is achieved, these potential consequences
include the following: operating losses; increased costs and
difficulty of financing due to loss of ComEd’s investment
grade credit rating and a possible reduction in the other
Registrants’ credit ratings; limited or lost access for
ComEd to credit markets to finance operations and capital
investment; increased costs and difficulty in procuring power
due to the loss of ComEd’s capacity to enter into bilateral
long-term energy procurement contracts, which could likely force
ComEd to procure electricity at more volatile prices which may
potentially be higher in the spot market; and, under certain
circumstances, possible insolvency and bankruptcy. In the nearer
term, these prospects could have adverse effects on ComEd’s
liquidity if vendors reduce credit or shorten payment terms or
if ComEd’s financing alternatives become more limited and
significantly less flexible. Moreover, to the extent ComEd is
not permitted to recover its costs, ComEd’s ability to
maintain and improve service may diminish and its ability to
maintain reliability may be impaired. See Note 5 of the
Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
“Business Outlook and the Challenges in Managing the
Business” within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further information regarding the regulatory transition periods.
Additionally, Exelon, through ComEd, has taken certain tax
positions, which have been disclosed to the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), to defer the tax gain on the 1999 sale of its
fossil generating assets. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding these tax positions.

The reduction of cash flows from operations during the current
year is primarily the result of $2 billion of discretionary
contributions to Exelon’s pension plans during the first
quarter of 2005, which was initially funded through a term loan
agreement, as further described in the “Cash Flows from
Financing Activities” section below. Of the total
contribution, ComEd, PECO and Generation contributed
$803 million, $109 million and $844 million,
respectively. The ComEd and PECO contributions were fully funded
by capital contributions from Exelon. The Generation
contribution was primarily funded by capital contributions from
Exelon plus $2 million from internally generated funds.
Exelon did not contribute to its pension plans in the second or
third quarters of 2005 and does not anticipate making any
additional contributions in the remainder of 2005.
Cash flows provided by operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 by registrant were as follows:

Excluding the March 2005 discretionary pension contributions
discussed above, changes in Exelon’s, ComEd’s,
PECO’s and Generation’s cash flows from operations
were generally consistent with changes in its results of
operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the
normal course of business.
In addition to the items mentioned in “Results of
Operations” and the discretionary pension contributions
discussed above, significant non-recurring operating cash flows
for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

In January 2005, Exelon received a $102 million Federal
income tax refund for capital losses generated in 2003 related
to its investment in Sithe, which were carried back to prior
periods. |

• |
In the third quarter of 2005, ComEd settled $325 million of
interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges for
a loss of $15 million which was paid in October 2005. This
was recorded as a pre-tax charge to net income because the
underlying transaction for which these interest rate swaps were
entered into is no longer probable of occurring. |
|
|
• |
During the third quarter of 2004, ComEd paid $63 million
for call premiums on the retirement of debt. |
|
|
|
|
• |
There were no significant non-recurring operating cash flows
during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. |

Proposed capital expenditures and other investments for Exelon,
ComEd, PECO and Generation are subject to periodic review and
revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other
factors.
ComEd and PECO. Approximately 50% of the projected
2005 capital expenditures at both ComEd and PECO are for
continuing efforts to improve the reliability of its
transmission and distribution systems. The remaining amount is
for capital additions to support new business and customer
growth. Exelon is continuing to evaluate its total capital
spending requirements. Exelon anticipates that ComEd (subject to
the discussion concerning the current regulatory proceedings
above) and PECO’s capital expenditures will be funded by
internally generated funds, borrowings and the issuance of debt
or preferred securities or capital contributions from Exelon.
Generation. Generation’s capital expenditures
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflect
additions and upgrades to existing facilities (including
material condition improvements during nuclear refueling
outages), and expenditures for nuclear fuel. Exelon anticipates
that Generation’s capital expenditures will be funded by
internally generated funds, borrowings or capital contributions
from Exelon.
Other significant investing activities for Exelon, ComEd, PECO

On March 7, 2005, Exelon entered into a $2 billion
term loan agreement. The loan proceeds were used to fund
discretionary contributions of $2 billion to Exelon’s
pension plans, including contributions of $803 million,
$109 million and $842 million by ComEd, PECO and
Generation, respectively. To facilitate the contributions by
ComEd, PECO and Generation, Exelon contributed the corresponding
amounts to the capital of each company. On April 1, 2005,
Exelon entered into a $500 million term loan agreement that
was subsequently fully borrowed to reduce the $2 billion
term loan. During the second quarter of 2005, $200 million
of the $500 million term loan as well as the remaining
$1.5 billion balance on the $2 billion term loan
described above were repaid with the net proceeds received from
the issuance of the long-term senior notes discussed below. The
$300 million outstanding balance under the term loan
agreement bears interest at a variable rate determined, at
Exelon’s option, by either the Base Rate or the Eurodollar
Rate (as defined in the term loan agreement) and is due in full
on December 1, 2005.
On June 9, 2005, Exelon issued and sold $1.7 billion
of senior debt securities pursuant to its senior debt indenture,
dated as of May 1, 2001, consisting of $400 million of
4.45% senior notes due 2010, $800 million of 4.90% senior
notes due 2015 and $500 million of 5.625% senior notes due
2035. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to
repay the $1.5 billion in remaining principal due on the
$2 billion term loan agreement and $200 million of the
$500 million term loan agreement referenced above. Exelon
may redeem some or all of the notes at any time prior to
maturity at a specified redemption price. The notes are
unsecured and rank equally with the other senior unsecured
indebtedness of Exelon. Additionally, Exelon settled interest
rate swaps for a net payment of $38 million and paid
approximately $12 million of fees in connection with the
debt offering. See Note 7 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
From time to time and as market conditions warrant, Exelon,
ComEd, PECO and Generation may engage in long-term debt
retirements via tender offers, open market repurchases or other
viable options to strengthen their respective balance sheets.
Cash dividend payments and distributions for the nine months

Exelon Credit Facility. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and
Generation meet their short-term liquidity requirements
primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. Exelon,
ComEd, PECO and Generation participate with a group of banks in
a $1 billion unsecured revolving facility maturing on
July 16, 2009, and a $500 million unsecured revolving
facility maturing on October 31, 2006. Both revolving
credit agreements are
131
used principally to support the commercial paper programs at
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation and to issue letters of
credit.
At September 30, 2005, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
had the following sublimits and available capacity under the
credit agreements and the indicated amounts of outstanding

Sublimits under the credit agreements can change upon written
notification to the bank group. |
|
(b) |
|
Available capacity represents primarily the bank sublimit net of
outstanding letters of credit. The amount of commercial paper
outstanding does not reduce the available capacity under the
credit agreements. |
Interest rates on the advances under the credit agreements are
based on either the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus
an adder based on the credit rating of the borrower as well as
the total outstanding amounts under the agreements at the time
of borrowing or the prime rate. The maximum LIBOR adder would be
170 basis points. For the nine months ended September 30,
2005, Exelon’s average interest rate on notes payable was
approximately 3.02%.
The credit agreements require Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
to maintain a minimum cash from operations to interest expense
ratio for the twelve-month period ended on the last day of any
quarter. The ratios exclude revenues and interest expenses
attributable to securitization debt, certain changes in working
capital, distributions on preferred securities of subsidiaries
and, in the case of Exelon and Generation, revenues from Exelon
New England Holding Company, LLC (Exelon New England) and Sithe
and interest on the debt of their project subsidiaries. The
following table summarizes the minimum thresholds reflected in
the credit agreements for the nine-month period ended

As of September 30, 2005, PECO’s capital structure,
excluding the deduction from shareholders’ equity of the
$1.3 billion receivable from Exelon (which amount is
deducted for GAAP purposes as reflected in the table, but is
excluded from the percentages in this footnote), consisted of
39% common equity, 1% preferred securities and 60% long-term
debt, including long-term debt to unconsolidated affiliates. |
132
|
|
|
(b) |
|
Includes $4.7 billion, $1.4 billion and
$3.3 billion owed to unconsolidated affiliates of Exelon,
ComEd and PECO, respectively, that qualify as special purpose
entities under FIN 46-R. These special purpose entities
were created for the sole purpose of issuing debt obligations to
securitize intangible transition property and CTCs of Energy
Delivery or mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. See
Note 1 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to
recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further information regarding FIN 46-R. |
Intercompany Money Pool. Exelon operates an
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.
Participation in the money pool is subject to authorization by
the corporate treasurer. ComEd and its subsidiary, Commonwealth
Edison Company of Indiana, Inc. (ComEd of Indiana), PECO,
Generation and BSC may participate in the money pool as lenders
and borrowers, and Exelon and UII, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Exelon, may participate as lenders. Funding of,
and borrowings from, the money pool are predicated on whether
the contributions and borrowings result in economic benefits.
Interest on borrowings is based on short-term market rates of
interest or, if from an external source, specific borrowing
rates. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the
money pool by participant during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 are described in the following table in
addition to the net contribution or borrowing as of
September 30, 2005:

Sithe Long-Term Debt. Debt totaling approximately
$820 million was eliminated from the Consolidated Balance
Sheets of Exelon and Generation as a result of the sale of Sithe
on January 31, 2005. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion
regarding the sale of Sithe.
Security Ratings. Access to the capital markets by
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation, including the commercial
paper market, and its financing costs in those markets depend on
the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing the
capital markets. On September 30, 2005, Moody’s
Investors Service placed ComEd’s ratings under review for a
possible downgrade due to the adverse regulatory environment in
Illinois as described in Note 5 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The ratings outlook for
Exelon, Generation and PECO were unchanged.
133
On October 3, 2005, Standard & Poor’s Rating
Services (S&P) lowered its corporate credit ratings and
senior unsecured debt ratings on Exelon and its subsidiaries due
to the adverse regulatory environment in Illinois as described
in Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The short-term debt ratings and senior secured
ratings were unaffected. The ratings on all Exelon affiliates
remain on CreditWatch with negative implications pending the
completion of the Merger with PSEG. The table below shows the
Registrants’ S&P security ratings at October 3,
2005:

Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s or Generation’s
borrowings is subject to default or prepayment as a result of a
downgrading of securities although such a downgrading could
increase fees and interest charges under Exelon’s credit
agreements.
A credit rating reduction at Generation would not trigger a
default, close-out or acceleration of any of Generation’s
obligations under its energy marketing and trading related
agreements. Generation is required, however, to meet certain
credit quality standards and regularly posts collateral with
counterparties and receives margin collateral from
counterparties as a result of market conditions and other
factors including its current credit ratings. If Generation were
to be downgraded from its current credit ratings to below
investment grade, Generation would have to post additional
collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit.
Shelf Registration. As of September 30, 2005,
Exelon Corporate, ComEd and PECO have current effective shelf
registration statements for the sale of $300 million,
$555 million and $550 million of securities,
respectively. The ability of Exelon, ComEd or PECO 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, the current financial condition of the
company, its securities ratings and market conditions.
Fund Transfer Restrictions. Exelon has obtained an
order from the SEC under PUHCA authorizing, financing
transactions, including the issuance of common stock, preferred
securities, equity-linked securities, long-term debt and
short-term debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$8.0 billion above the amount outstanding for Exelon and
Generation at December 31, 2003. Securities of
$644 million above the amount outstanding at
December 31, 2003 have been issued under the
above-described order. Exelon is also authorized to issue
guarantees, letters of credit, or otherwise provide credit
support with respect to the obligations of its subsidiaries and
non-affiliated third parties in the normal course of business of
up to $6.0 billion outstanding at any one time. At
September 30, 2005, Exelon had provided $1.1 billion
of guarantees and letters of credit under the SEC order. See
“Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements” in this section for further discussion of
guarantees. The SEC order requires Exelon to maintain a ratio of
common equity to total capitalization (including securitization
debt) of not less than 30%. At September 30, 2005,
Exelon’s common equity ratio was 43%. Exelon expects that
it will maintain a common equity ratio of at least 30%. PUHCA
has been repealed effective February 8, 2006 under the
terms of the Energy Policy Act. FERC will issue by
December 8, 2005 regulation as may be necessary or
appropriate to implement the Energy Policy Act. As a result of
the repeal of PUHCA, some of FERC’s latent jurisdiction
over public utility financing activities will resume, and the
FERC gains certain additional authority over public utility
financing. Exelon continues to review the effects of the Energy
Policy Act and the FERC’s proposed rules with respect to
Exelon’s future financings.
Exelon is also limited by the SEC order to an aggregate
investment of $4.0 billion in exempt wholesale generators
(EWGs) and foreign utility companies (FUCOs). At
September 30, 2005, Exelon had invested $1.4 billion
in EWGs, leaving $2.6 billion of investment authority under
the order. In its order, the SEC reserved jurisdiction over an
additional $3.0 billion in investments in EWGs.
134
On July 1, 2005, Exelon obtained a new investment order
from the SEC under PUHCA authorizing, through the effective
repeal of PUHCA on February 8, 2006, development
activities, the formation of new intermediate subsidiaries for
internal corporate structuring, internal corporate
reorganizations, and the investment in certain non-U.S.
energy-related subsidiaries. The new order replaced a prior SEC
order that expired on June 30, 2005.
Under PUHCA, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation can pay
dividends only from retained, undistributed or current earnings.
A significant loss recorded at ComEd, PECO or Generation may
limit the dividends that these companies can distribute to
Exelon. At September 30, 2005, Exelon had retained earnings
of $4.3 billion, including ComEd’s retained earnings
of $1.2 billion (all of which had been appropriated for
future dividend payments), PECO’s retained earnings of
$662 million and Generation’s undistributed earnings
of $963 million. Under FERC regulation, ComEd, PECO and
Generation will be subject to these same restrictions.
Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s and Generation’s
additional fund transfer restrictions as of September 30,
2005 were materially unchanged from the discussion within
Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information
contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
|
|
|
Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and
Off-Balance Sheet Obligations |
Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are
considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments
represent commitments triggered by future events. Exelon’s,
ComEd’s, PECO’s and Generation’s contractual
obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30,
2005 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course
of business, from the amounts set forth in the 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13,
2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and
Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K except
for the following:
|
|
|
|
• |
Interest payments of $71 million, $132 million,
$115 million and $849 million for payments due in
2005, 2006-2007, 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively,
were eliminated due to the sale of Sithe on January 31,
2005. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of
Generation’s investment in Sithe. |
|
|
• |
Letters of credit decreased $109 million, primarily as a
result of the sale of Sithe. See Note 4 of the Combined
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. |
|
|
• |
Guarantees decreased $1.6 billion, primarily as a result of
American Nuclear Insurers’ release of Exelon from the
parent guarantee of $1.4 billion for Generation’s
obligations and the release of guarantees of $200 million
related to the wind-down of Enterprises’ operations. |
|
|
• |
In the third quarter of 2005, BSC entered into an operating
lease to rent a portion of a building from January 1, 2007
through September 30, 2022. BSC is obligated to pay its
proportionate share of the building’s property taxes and
operating expenses. Total rent expense over the life of the
lease agreement will be approximately $51.4 million, which
includes fixed escalation clauses. In addition, the lease
provides for two five-year renewal options. |
As of September 30, 2005, Exelon’s total contractual
obligations were $1.6 billion, $8.1 billion,
$6.2 billion, and $23.2 billion for 2005, 2006-2007,
2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively.
|
|
|
|
• |
IRS Refund Claims. ComEd and PECO have several
pending tax refund claims seeking acceleration of certain tax
deductions and additional tax credits. ComEd and PECO are unable
to estimate the ultimate outcome of these refund claims and will
account for any amounts received in the period the matters are
settled with the IRS. |
135
|
|
|
|
|
ComEd and PECO had entered into several agreements with a tax
consultant related to the filing of these refund claims with the
IRS. ComEd and PECO previously made refundable prepayments to
the tax consultants of $11 million and $5 million,
respectively. The fees for these agreements are contingent upon
a successful outcome of the claims and are based upon a
percentage of the refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. These
potential tax benefits and associated fees could be material to
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
ComEd and PECO. A portion of ComEd’s tax benefits,
including any associated interest for periods prior to the
merger among PECO, Unicom Corporation (Unicom), the former
parent company of ComEd, and Exelon (PECO / Unicom Merger) would
be recorded as a reduction of goodwill pursuant to a
reallocation of the PECO / Unicom Merger purchase price. ComEd
and PECO cannot predict the timing of the final resolution of
these refund claims. |
|
|
|
In 2004, the IRS granted preliminary approval for one of
ComEd’s refund claims and final approval was obtained in
the first quarter of 2005. The refund and associated interest
have been recorded in the financial statements. Approximately
$14 million of tax and interest benefit received in the
second quarter of 2005 has been reflected in the financial
statements of which $12 million ($9 million after-tax)
was recorded to goodwill under the provisions of EITF Issue
93-7, “Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase
Business Combination.” As a result, ComEd recorded
consulting expenses of $5 million (pre-tax) in 2004. |
|
|
|
Based on negotiations with the IRS during the first half of
2005, PECO believed it would receive a tax refund related to one
of its claims and recorded a $6 million (pre-tax) charge
related to expected consulting charges through the second
quarter of 2005. However, as the result of a recent unfavorable
tax court decision involving another utility that related to a
similar type of refund claim, PECO no longer believes payment of
the consulting fees is probable and reversed the $6 million
(pre-tax) charge during the third quarter 2005. PECO is unable
to predict the final impact of its future negotiations with the
IRS on this matter. |
As of September 30, 2005, ComEd’s total contractual
obligations were $0.4 billion, $1.6 billion,
$1.1 billion, and $3.6 billion for 2005, 2006-2007,
2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively.
As of September 30, 2005, PECO’s total contractual
obligations were $0.1 billion, $1.5 billion,
$2.1 billion, and $2.3 billion for 2005, 2006-2007,
2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively.
|
|
|
|
• |
Interest payments of $71 million, $132 million,
$115 million and $849 million for payments due in
2005, 2006-2007, 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively
were eliminated due to the sale of Sithe on January 31,
2005. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of
Generation’s investment in Sithe. |
|
|
• |
Letters of credit decreased $110 million and guarantees
decreased $29 million, both primarily as a result of the
sale of Sithe. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. |
|
|
• |
During the second quarter of 2005, in the normal course of
business, Generation entered into long-term contracts for
uranium enrichment services, increasing commitments by
$122 million and $272 million for 2008-2009 and 2010
and beyond, respectively. |
|
|
• |
During the third quarter of 2005, in the normal course of
business, Generation entered into long-term contracts for
uranium, increasing commitments by $132 million and
$128 million for 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond,
respectively. |
As of September 30, 2005, Generation’s total
contractual obligations were $1.4 billion,
$4.6 billion, $2.8 billion, and $10.1 billion for
2005, 2006-2007, 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively.

A discussion of ComEd’s results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 is set forth under “Results
of Operations — Energy Delivery” in “EXELON
CORPORATION — Results of Operations” of this
Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
ComEd’s business is capital intensive and requires
considerable capital resources. ComEd’s capital resources
are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from
operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing,
including the issuance of commercial paper, participation in the
intercompany money pool or capital contributions from Exelon.
ComEd’s 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 ComEd no longer has access to
the capital markets at reasonable terms, ComEd has access to a
revolving credit facility that ComEd currently utilizes to
support its commercial paper program. See the “Credit
Matters” section of “Liquidity and Capital
Resources” for further discussion.
Capital resources are used primarily to fund ComEd’s
capital requirements, including construction, retirement of
debt, the payment of dividends and contributions to
Exelon’s pension plans.

A discussion of PECO’s results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 is set forth under “Results
of Operations — Energy Delivery” in “EXELON
CORPORATION — Results of Operations” of this
Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
PECO’s business is capital intensive and requires
considerable capital resources. PECO’s capital resources
are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from
operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing,
including the issuance of commercial paper, participation in the
intercompany money pool or capital contributions from Exelon.
PECO’s 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 PECO no longer has access to the
capital markets at reasonable terms, PECO has access to a
revolving credit facility that PECO currently utilizes to
support its commercial paper program. See the “Credit
Matters” section of “Liquidity and Capital
Resources” for further discussion.
Capital resources are used primarily to fund PECO’s capital
requirements, including construction, retirement of debt, the
payment of dividends and contributions to Exelon’s pension
plans.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are exposed to market risks
associated with credit and interest rates. Exelon and Generation
are also exposed to market risks associated with commodity and
equity prices. The inherent risk of market-sensitive instruments
and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes
in commodity prices, counterparty credit, interest rates and
equity security prices. Exelon’s Risk Management Committee
(RMC) sets forth risk management policies and objectives
and establishes procedures for risk assessment, control and
valuation, counterparty credit approval and the monitoring and
reporting of derivative activity and risk exposures. The RMC is
chaired by the chief risk officer and includes the executive
vice president, finance and markets; senior vice president,
chief financial officer and treasurer; general counsel;
corporate controller; vice president, corporate planning; vice
president, strategy; vice president, audit services; and
officers from each of Exelon’s business units. The RMC
reports to the Exelon Board of Directors on the scope of the
derivative and risk management activities.
Commodity Price Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Commodity price risk is associated with market price movements
resulting from excess or insufficient generation, changes in
fuel costs, market liquidity and other factors. Trading
activities and non-trading marketing activities include the
purchase and sale of electric capacity, energy and fossil fuels,
including oil, gas, coal and emission allowances. The
availability and prices of energy and energy-related commodities
are subject to fluctuations due to factors such as weather,
governmental environmental policies, changes in supply and
demand, state and Federal regulatory policies and other events.
Additionally, ComEd has exposure to commodity price risk in
relation to CTC revenues collected from its customers.
As a result of the pending expiration of the PPA between
Generation and ComEd at the end of 2006, and the ongoing
uncertainty of the regulatory and political environment in
Illinois, there is increased commodity price risk associated
with the power historically sold to serve ComEd’s load
obligations. Until a resolution can be reached related to the
procurement of power for Illinois utilities, Generation will
continue to be exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for
electricity after 2006. Generation will be proactive in looking
for hedging strategies to mitigate this risk.
In connection with the 2001 corporate restructuring, Generation
entered into a PPA, as amended, with ComEd under which
Generation has agreed to supply all of ComEd’s load
obligations through 2006. At times, ComEd’s load
obligations are greater than the capacity of Generation’s
owned generating units in the ComEd region. As such, Generation
procures power through purchase power and lease agreements and
has contracted for access to additional generation through
bilateral long-term PPAs. In 2004, Generation retained 3,858 MWs
of capacity under the terms of three then-existing PPAs with
Midwest Generation, LLC (Midwest Generation). Generation’s
contract to purchase power from Midwest Generation expired at
the end of 2004. In 2005 and 2006, Generation will be required
to procure the necessary power for ComEd through market
purchases and other means to the extent not provided by
Generation’s own generating facilities. As a result,
Generation’s exposure to market price movements in the
ComEd region has increased in 2005 compared to prior years due
to the expiration of the Midwest Generation contract.
Normal Operations and Hedging Activities.
Electricity available from Generation’s owned or
contracted generation supply in excess of Generation’s
obligations to customers, including Energy Delivery’s
retail load, is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce price
risk caused by market fluctuations, Generation enters into
physical contracts as well as derivative contracts, including
forwards, futures, swaps, and options, with approved
counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures. The maximum
length of time over which cash flows related to energy
commodities are currently being cash-flow hedged is three years.
Generation has an estimated 94% hedge ratio in 2005 for its
energy marketing portfolio. This hedge ratio represents the
percentage of its forecasted aggregate annual economic
generation supply that is committed to firm sales, including
sales to Energy Delivery to supply its retail load. Energy
Delivery’s retail load assumptions are
145
based on forecasted average demand. The hedge ratio is not fixed
and will vary from time to time depending upon market
conditions, demand, energy market option volatility and actual
loads. During peak periods, Generation’s amount hedged
declines as it meets its commitment to Energy Delivery. Market
price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of
unhedged positions. Absent any efforts to mitigate market price
exposure, the estimated market price exposure for
Generation’s unhedged non-trading portfolio associated with
a ten percent reduction in the annual average around-the-clock
market price of electricity is approximately a $15 million
decrease in net income. This sensitivity assumes a 94% hedge
ratio and that price changes occur evenly throughout the year
and across all markets. The sensitivity also assumes a static
portfolio. Generation expects to actively manage its portfolio
to mitigate market price exposure. Actual results could differ
depending on the specific timing of, and markets affected by,
price changes, as well as future changes in Generation’s
portfolio.
Proprietary Trading Activities. Generation began
to use financial contracts for proprietary trading purposes in
the second quarter of 2001. Proprietary trading includes all
contracts entered into purely to profit from market price
changes as opposed to hedging an exposure. These activities are
accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. The proprietary trading
activities are a complement to Generation’s energy
marketing portfolio but represent a very small portion of
Generation’s overall energy marketing activities. For
example, the limit on open positions in electricity for any
forward month represents less than one percent of
Generation’s owned and contracted supply of electricity.
Generation expects this level of proprietary trading activity to
continue in the future. Trading portfolio activity for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted in a gain
of $4 million and $13 million, respectively (before
income taxes), which represented an unrealized mark-to-market
gain of $2 million and realized gain of $2 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 and an unrealized
mark-to-market gain of $11 million and a realized gain of
$2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. Generation uses a 95% confidence interval, one day holding
period, one-tailed statistical measure in calculating its
Value-at-Risk (VaR). The daily VaR on proprietary trading
activity averaged $90,000 of exposure over the last
18 months. Because of the relative size of the proprietary
trading portfolio in comparison to Generation’s total gross
margin from continuing operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 of $3,595 million, Generation has not
segregated proprietary trading activity in the following tables.
The trading portfolio is subject to a risk management policy
that includes stringent risk management limits, including
volume, stop-loss and value-at-risk limits to manage exposure to
market risk. Additionally, the Exelon risk management group and
Exelon’s RMC monitor the financial risks of the proprietary
trading activities.
Generation’s energy contracts are accounted for under
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133). Non-trading
contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales
exception to SFAS No. 133, which is discussed in the
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of
Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information
contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Energy contracts that do not qualify
for the normal purchases and normal sales exception are recorded
as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of qualifying hedge contracts are
recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI), and gains and
losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying
transaction occurs. Changes in the derivatives recorded at fair
value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met and they are designated as cash-flow
hedges, in which case those changes are recorded in OCI, and
gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying
transaction occurs. Changes in the fair value of derivative
contracts that do not meet the hedge criteria under
SFAS No. 133 or are not designated as such are recognized
in current earnings.
The following detailed presentation of Generation’s trading
and non-trading marketing activities at Generation is included
to address the recommended disclosures by the energy
industry’s Committee of Chief Risk Officers.
The following table provides detail on changes in
Generation’s mark-to-market net liability balance sheet
position from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005.
It indicates the drivers behind changes in the balance sheet
amounts. This table incorporates the mark-to-market activities
that are immediately recorded in
146
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.

The majority of Generation’s contracts are
non-exchange-traded contracts valued using prices provided by
external sources, primarily price quotations available through
brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. Prices reflect
the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all
sources that Generation believes provide the most liquid market
for the commodity. The terms for which such price information is
available vary by commodity, region and product. The remainder
of the assets represents contracts for which external valuations
are not available, primarily option contracts. These contracts
are valued using the Black model, an industry standard option
valuation model. The fair values in each category reflect the
level of forward prices and volatility factors as of
September 30, 2005 that may change as a result of changes
in these factors. Management uses its best estimates to
determine the fair value of commodity and derivative contracts
it holds and sells. These estimates consider various factors
including closing exchange and over-the-counter price
quotations, time value, volatility factors and credit exposure.
It is possible, however, that future market prices could vary
from those used in recording assets and liabilities from energy
marketing and trading activities and such variations could be
material.
The following table, which presents maturity and source of fair
value of mark-to-market energy contract net liabilities,
provides two fundamental pieces of information. First, the table
provides the source of fair value used in determining the
carrying amount of Generation’s total mark-to-market asset
or liability. Second, this
147
table provides the maturity, by year, of Generation’s net
assets/liabilities, giving an indication of when these
mark-to-market amounts will settle and either generate or
require cash.

The table below provides details of effective cash-flow hedges
under SFAS No. 133 included in the balance sheet as of
September 30, 2005. The data in the table give an
indication of the magnitude of SFAS No. 133 hedges
Generation has in place; however, because under
SFAS No. 133 not all hedges are recorded in OCI, the
table does not provide an all-encompassing picture of
Generation’s derivatives. The table also includes a roll
forward of accumulated OCI related to cash-flow hedges from
January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005, providing insight
into the drivers of the changes (changes in the value of hedges
and reclassification from accumulated OCI into earnings).
Information related to energy merchant activities is presented
separately from interest-rate hedging activities.

Credit Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Generation has credit risk associated with counterparty
performance on energy contracts which includes, but is not
limited to, the risk of financial default or slow payment.
Generation manages counterparty credit risk through established
policies, including counterparty credit limits and, in some
cases, requiring deposits and
148
letters of credit to be posted by certain counterparties.
Generation’s counterparty credit limits are based on a
scoring model that considers a variety of factors, including
leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings and risk
management capabilities. Generation has entered into payment
netting agreements or enabling agreements that allow for payment
netting with the majority of its large counterparties, which
reduce Generation’s exposure to counterparty risk by
providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty
against amounts receivable from the counterparty. The
credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure
to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual
and an aggregate basis.
The following tables provide information on Generation’s
credit exposure, net of collateral, as of September 30,
2005. The tables further delineate that exposure by the 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 company’s credit risk by
credit rating of the counterparties. The figures in the tables
below do not include sales to Generation’s affiliates or
exposure through Independent System Operators (ISOs) which are
discussed below.

(a) |
|
This table does not include accounts receivable exposure and
forward credit exposure related to Exelon Energy. |
Collateral. As part of the normal course of business,
Generation routinely enters into physical or financially settled
contracts for the purchase and sale of capacity, energy, fuels
and emissions allowances. These contracts either contain express
provisions or otherwise permit Generation and its counterparties
to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there
are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the
contracts and applicable law, if Generation is downgraded by a
credit rating agency, especially if such downgrade is to a level
below investment grade, it is possible that a counterparty would
attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a
demand for adequate assurance of future performance. Depending
on Generation’s 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
149
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.
ISOs. Generation participates in the following
established, real-time energy markets that are administered by
ISOs: PJM, ISO New England, New York ISO, California ISO, MISO
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 ISOs.
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 the ISOs, the ISO maintains
financial assurance policies that are established and enforced
by those administrators. The credit policies of the 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
Generation’s financial condition, results of operations or
net cash flows.
Exelon’s consolidated balance sheets included a
$502 million net investment in direct financing leases as
of September 30, 2005. The investment in direct financing
leases represents future minimum lease payments due at the end
of the thirty-year lives of the leases of $1.5 billion,
less unearned income of $990 million. The future minimum
lease payments are supported by collateral and credit
enhancement measures including letters of credit, surety bonds
and credit swaps issued by high credit quality financial
institutions. Management regularly evaluates the credit
worthiness of Exelon’s counterparties to these direct
financing leases.
Interest-Rate Risk (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
The Registrants use a combination of fixed-rate and
variable-rate debt to reduce interest-rate exposure. The
Registrants also use interest-rate swaps when deemed appropriate
to adjust exposure based upon market conditions. Additionally,
the Registrants 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. As of September 30,
2005, a hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates
associated with variable-rate debt would result in a
$0.7 million decrease in Exelon’s pre-tax earnings. A
hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates associated with
variable-rate debt would result in a decrease in pre-tax
earnings of less than $1 million at ComEd, PECO and
Generation.
|
|
|
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation |
At September 30, 2005, the Registrants did not have any
interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges.
At September 30, 2005, ComEd had interest-rate swaps
designated as fair-value hedges in the aggregate notional amount
of $240 million. At September 30, 2005, these
interest-rate swaps had an aggregate fair market value of
$1 million based on the present value difference between
the contract and market rates at September 30, 2005. If
these derivative instruments had been terminated at
September 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents
the amount counterparties would pay ComEd.
150
The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps
designated as fair-value hedges that would have resulted from a
hypothetical 50 basis point decrease in the spot yield at
September 30, 2005 is estimated to be $8 million in
ComEd’s favor. If these derivative instruments had been
terminated at September 30, 2005, this estimated fair value
represents the amount counterparties would pay ComEd.
The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps
designated as fair-value hedges that would have resulted from a
hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the spot yield at
September 30, 2005 is estimated to be $5 million in
the counterparties’ favor. If these derivative instruments
had been terminated at September 30, 2005, this estimated
fair value represents the amount ComEd would pay the
counterparties.
Exelon, PECO and
Generation
At September 30, 2005, Exelon, PECO and Generation did not
have any interest-rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges.
Equity Price Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Generation maintains trust funds, as required by the NRC, to
fund certain costs of decommissioning Generation’s nuclear
plants. As of September 30, 2005, Generation’s
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
Generation’s nuclear decommissioning trust fund investment
policy. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and
decrease in equity prices would result in a $366 million
reduction in the fair value of the trust assets. See Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Welfare Benefits in the
Critical Accounting Estimates section within Exelon’s 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in
Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for information regarding the pension and other
postretirement benefit trust assets.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
During the third quarter of 2005, each registrant’s
management, including its principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, evaluated that registrant’s
disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording,
processing, summarizing and reporting of information in that
registrant’s periodic reports that it files with the SEC.
These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by
each registrant to ensure that (a) material information
relating to that registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to that
registrant’s 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 SEC’s 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 September 30, 2005, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer of each
registrant concluded that such registrant’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their
objectives. Each registrant 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.

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