_________

(a)       Includes the elimination of NDT fund-related activity for the Regulatory Agreement Units, including the elimination of operating revenues, ARO accretion, ARC amortization, investment income and income taxes related to all NDT fund activity for these units. See Note 12 of the 2010 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the accounting for nuclear decommissioning.

(b)       Includes option premiums reclassified to realized at the settlement of the underlying contracts and recorded to results of operations.

(c)              In May 2011, as a result of the 2010 Rate Case order, ComEd recorded one-time net benefits to reestablish previously expensed plant balances and to recover previously incurred costs related to Exelon's 2009 restructuring plan. See Note 3 - Regulatory Matters for more information.

(d)        Relates primarily to prepaid utility taxes.

(e)       During the second quarter of 2010, ComEd recorded a reduction of $25 million to taxes other than income to reflect management's estimate of future refunds for the 2008 and 2009 tax years associated with Illinois' utility distribution tax based on an analysis of past refunds and interpretations of the Illinois Public Utilities Act. Historically, ComEd had recorded refunds of the Illinois utility distribution tax when received. ComEd believes it now has sufficient, reliable evidence to record and support an estimated receivable associated with the anticipated refund for the 2008 and 2009 tax years.

(f)              Includes $70 million of under-recovered uncollectible accounts expense from 2008 and 2009 recoverable prospectively through a rider mechanism as a result of an ICC order issued February 2010. See Note 3 - Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding the Illinois legislation allowing recovery of uncollectible accounts.

(g)       Relates primarily to a decrease in interest payable associated with a change in uncertain income tax positions. See Note 8 - Income Taxes for additional information.

 

DOE Smart Grid Investment Grant (Exelon and PECO). For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Exelon and PECO have included in the capital expenditures line item under investing activities of the cash flow statement capital expenditures of $29 million and reimbursements of $45 million related to PECO's DOE SGIG. See Note 3 – Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding the DOE SGIG.

 

Repurchase Agreements (Exelon and Generation). Repurchase Agreements are financial instruments used to fund short-term liquidity requirements where a counterparty typically agrees to sell the financial instrument and repurchase it the following day. Exelon and Generation have historically presented purchases and sales of Repurchase Agreements with a maturity of three months or less on a gross basis in 'Investments in NDT funds' and 'Proceeds from NDT fund sales', respectively, within Exelon and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Due to the nature and volume of these transactions, effective December 31, 2010, Exelon and Generation have included the cash flows associated with the purchase and sale of Repurchase Agreements with a maturity of three months or less on a net basis in 'Proceeds from NDT fund sales' within their Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows associated with all other NDT funds investments will continue to be presented on a gross basis. The nine months ended September 30, 2010 was adjusted to reflect this change in presentation, which is presented in the following table:

  Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
  As previously stated Adjustments As Adjusted
Proceeds from NDT fund sales $ 21,869 $ (19,113) $ 2,756
Investments in NDT funds $ (21,977) $ 19,113 $ (2,864)

Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

 

The following tables provide additional information about assets and liabilities of the Registrants as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

PECO Installment Plan Receivables (Exelon and PECO). PECO enters into payment agreements with certain delinquent customers, primarily residential, seeking to restore their service, as required by the PAPUC. Customers with past due balances that meet certain income criteria are provided the option to enter into an installment payment plan, some of which have terms greater than one year, to repay past due balances in addition to paying for their ongoing service on a current basis. The receivable balance for these payment agreement receivables is recorded in accounts receivable for the current portion and other deferred debits and other assets for the noncurrent portion. The net receivable balance for installment plans with terms greater than one year was $23 million and $22 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve methodology and assessment of the credit quality of the installment plan receivables are consistent with the customer accounts receivable methodology discussed in Note 1 of the 2010 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2011, the allowance for uncollectible accounts was $20 million, an increase of $1 million from December 31, 2010. The increase is the result of the change in the provision, which is impacted by payments, new agreements, changes in account risk segments and loss factors applied to the risk segments. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance at September 30, 2011 of $20 million consists of $4 million and $16 million for medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance at December 31, 2010 of $19 million consists of $1 million, $5 million and $13 million for low risk, medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The balance of the payment agreement is billed to the customer in equal monthly installments over the term of the agreement. Installment receivables outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include balances not yet presented on the customer bill, accounts currently billed and an immaterial amount of past due receivables. When a customer defaults on their payment agreement, the terms of which are defined by plan type, the entire balance of the agreement becomes due and the balance is reclassified to current customer accounts receivable and reserved for in accordance with the methodology discussed in Note 1 of the 2010 Form 10-K.
