NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

General

These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate consolidated financial statements of each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison of New York). Con Edison of New York is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, which are presented separately in the Con Edison of New York consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Con Edison’s other utility subsidiary, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses (discussed below) in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to Con Edison of New York and O&R.

As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and Con Edison of New York and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, Con Edison of New York makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.

The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the Form 10-K) and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part I, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 (the First Quarter Form 10-Q) and June 30, 2009 (the Second Quarter Form 10-Q). Information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, the First Quarter Form 10-Q and the Second Quarter Form 10-Q referred to in these notes is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into these notes the information to which reference is made.

The Companies have, pursuant to the accounting rules for subsequent events, evaluated events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 through the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Effective June 2009, the Companies are including receivables purchased from energy supply companies

18

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

within accounts receivable—customers, and to conform to this presentation, have reclassified receivables purchased from energy supply companies that were included in other receivables at December 31, 2008 ($148 million for Con Edison; $121 million for Con Edison of New York). This reclassification more appropriately reflects the Utilities’ customer operations’ practices, policies and procedures. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year.

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: Con Edison of New York and O&R. Con Edison of New York provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiaries, provides electric service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and gas service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania. Con Edison has the following competitive energy businesses: Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a retail energy services company that sells electricity and also offers energy-related services; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a wholesale energy supply company; and Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that participates in infrastructure projects. During the second quarter of 2008, Con Edison Development and its subsidiary, CED/SCS Newington, LLC, completed the sale of their ownership interests in power generating projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 1,706 megawatts. See Note N.

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenues

The Utilities and Con Edison Solutions recognize revenues for electric, gas and steam service on a monthly billing cycle basis. The Utilities defer over a 12-month period net interruptible gas revenues, other than those authorized by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to be retained by the Utilities, for refund to firm gas sales and transportation customers. O&R and Con Edison Solutions accrue revenues at the end of each month for estimated energy service not yet billed to customers. Prior to March 31, 2009, Con Edison of New York did not accrue revenues for estimated energy service not yet billed to customers except for certain unbilled gas revenues accrued in 1989. Effective March 31, 2009, the PSC authorized Con Edison of New York to accrue unbilled electric, gas and steam revenues. The adoption of this accounting for unbilled revenues had no effect on net income. See Note A to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q. Unbilled revenues included in Con Edison’s balance sheet at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $494 million (including $347 million for Con Edison of New York) and $131 million, respectively.

Note B—Regulatory Matters

Reference is made to “Accounting Policies” in Note A and “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note B to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First and Second Quarter Forms 10-Q.

Rate Agreements

Con Edison of New York—Electric

For information about Con Edison of New York’s May 2009 electric rate filing, see “Rate Agreements—Con Edison of New York—Electric” in Note B to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q. In August 2009, the PSC staff submitted testimony supporting an April 2010 electric rate increase of $477 million and, for a three-year rate plan, increases for the rate years beginning April 2011 and 2012 in amounts to be determined to reflect capital expenditures (capped at a level to be set by the PSC), pension and other postretirement benefit costs, and property taxes. In October 2009, the company and PSC staff advised the PSC’s administrative law judges for this rate proceeding that there is a high probability of producing a joint proposal that the

20

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

company and the PSC staff would sign and other parties to the proceeding would sign, support or not oppose. Consistent with PSC rules, negotiations for a joint proposal are confidential. There is no assurance that there will be a joint proposal, and any joint proposal would be subject to the approval of the PSC.

The PSC’s April 2009 order covering Con Edison of New York’s electric rates, among other things, provided for the continuation of the collection of a portion (increased, to reflect higher capital costs, from $237 million collected in the rate year ended March 2009 to $254 million for the rate year ending March 2010) of the April 2008 rate increase subject to potential refund to customers following further PSC review and completion of an investigation by the PSC staff of the $1.6 billion of capital expenditures during the April 2005 through March 2008 period covered by the 2005 electric rate agreement for transmission and distribution utility plant that were above the amounts of such expenditures reflected in rates. The portion collected would also be subject to refund in the event the PSC determined that some disallowance of costs the company has recovered is warranted to address potential impacts of alleged unlawful conduct by arrested employees and contractors (see “Investigation of Contractor Payments” in Note H). The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, of any refund that might be required and, accordingly, has not established a regulatory liability for a refund.

O&R—Electric

In August 2009, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) filed a request with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) for a net increase in the rates it charges for electric service, effective May 15, 2010, of $9.8 million. The filing reflects a return on common equity of 11.0 percent and a common equity ratio of 53.6 percent. The filing proposes the continuation of the current provisions with respect to recovery from customers of the cost of purchased power and proposes a reconciliation of actual expenses to amounts reflected in electric rates for pension and other postretirement benefit costs.

Con Edison of New York—Gas and Steam

In June 2009, the PSC approved a Joint Proposal by Con Edison of New York, the PSC Staff and other parties under which, starting in July 2009, a portion of the company’s gas and steam revenues ($32 million and $6 million annually, respectively) would be subject to potential refund to customers in the event the PSC determined that some disallowance of costs the company has recovered is warranted to address potential impacts of alleged unlawful conduct by arrested employees and contractors (see “Investigation of Contractor Payments” in Note H). The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, of any refund that might be required.

21

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

O&R—Gas

In October 2009, the PSC adopted the June 2009 Joint Proposal among O&R, PSC staff and other parties. As approved, the Joint Proposal establishes a gas rate plan that covers the three-year period November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2012 and provides for increases in base rates of $9 million in each of the first two years and $4.6 million in the third year, with an additional $4.3 million to be collected though a surcharge in the third rate year. For additional information about the Joint Proposal, see “Rate Agreements—O&R—Gas” in Note B to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

Other Regulatory Matters

In August 2009, the PSC released a report on its management audit of the company. The PSC is required to audit New York utilities every five years. The PSC consultant that performed the audit identified areas for improvement, including with respect to the company’s construction program, planning and business processes and regulatory relationships. In October 2009, the company filed with the PSC the company’s plan to implement the recommendations contained in the report with the PSC.

Expected Contributions

The Companies are not required under funding regulations and laws to make any contributions to the pension plan during 2009, however, the Companies’ policy is to fund their accounting cost to the extent tax deductible. During the first nine months of 2009, Con Edison and Con Edison of New York contributed $282 million and $244 million, respectively, to the pension plan. Con Edison of

Note G—Environmental Matters

Superfund Sites

Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.

The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment, and monitoring) and environmental damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”

For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards, and experience with similar sites.

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

	Con Edison				Con Edison of New York
(Millions of Dollars)	2009		2008		2009		2008
Accrued Liabilities:
Manufactured gas plant sites	$	177	$	207	$	126	$	155
Other Superfund Sites		48		43		46		41
Total	$	225	$	250	$	172	$	196
Regulatory assets	$	391	$	378	$	333	$	315

27

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. As investigations progress on these and other sites, the Utilities expect that additional liability will be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. Under their current rate agreements, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certain site investigation and remediation costs.

Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	Con Edison				Con Edison of New York
(Millions of Dollars)	2009		2008		2009		2008
Remediation costs incurred	$	20	$	24	$	20	$	24
Insurance recoveries received*	$	3		—	$	3		—

* Reduced amount deferred for recovery from customers.

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Con Edison				Con Edison of New York
(Millions of Dollars)	2009		2008		2009		2008
Remediation costs incurred	$	60	$	77	$	59	$	76
Insurance recoveries received*	$	3		—	$	3		—

* Reduced amount deferred for recovery from customers.

In 2006, Con Edison of New York estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other manufactured gas plant-related environmental contaminants could range up to $1.1 billion. In 2007, O&R estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, each of which has been investigated, the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the remediation of such contaminants could range up to $115 million. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at the sites that have not yet been investigated and additional assumptions about these and the other sites regarding the extent of contamination and the type and extent of remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings

Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment

28

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. In 2008, Con Edison of New York estimated that its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years is $9 million. The estimate was based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Actual experience may be materially different. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate agreements, Con Edison of New York is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims. The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

	Con Edison				Con Edison of New York

Note H—Other Material Contingencies

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

In July 2007, a Con Edison of New York steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured. It has been reported that one person died and others were injured as a result of the incident. Several buildings in the area were damaged. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of several buildings and streets for various periods. Approximately 100 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has not accrued a liability for the suits. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover most of the company’s costs, which the company is unable to estimate, but which could be substantial, to satisfy its liability to others in connection with the incident.

Investigation of Contractor Payments

In January 2009, Con Edison of New York commenced an internal investigation relating to the arrests of certain employees and retired employees (most of whom have since been indicted or pleaded guilty)

29

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

for accepting kickbacks from contractors that performed construction work for the company. The company has retained a law firm, which has retained an accounting firm, to assist in the company’s investigation. The company is providing information to governmental authorities, which consider the company to be a victim of unlawful conduct, in connection with their investigation of the arrested employees and contractors. The company has terminated its employment of the arrested employees and its contracts with the contractors. In February 2009, the PSC commenced a proceeding that, among other things, will examine the prudence of certain of the company’s expenditures relating to the arrests and consider whether additional expenditures should also be examined (see Note B). The company, based upon its evaluation of its internal controls for 2008 and previous years, believes that the controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that its financial statements have been fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because the company’s investigation is ongoing, the company is unable to predict the impact of any of the employees’ unlawful conduct on the company’s internal controls, business, results of operations or financial position.

Permit Non-Compliance and Pollution Discharges

In March 2009, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued a proposed Administrative Order on Consent to Con Edison of New York with respect to non-compliance with certain laws, regulations and permit conditions and discharges of pollutants at the company’s steam generating facilities. The proposed order effectively institutes a civil enforcement proceeding against the company. In the proposed order, the DEC is seeking, among other things, the company’s agreement to pay a penalty in an amount the DEC has not yet specified, retain an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive audit of the company’s generating facilities to determine compliance with federal and New York State environmental laws and regulations and recommend best practices, remove all equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls from the company’s steam and electric facilities, remediate polychlorinated biphenyl contamination, install certain wastewater treatment facilities, and comply with additional sampling, monitoring, and training requirements. The company will seek to resolve this proceeding through a negotiated settlement with the DEC. It is unable to predict the impact of the proceeding on the company’s operations or the amount of the penalty and the additional costs, which could be substantial, to comply with the requirements resulting from this proceeding.

Lease In/Lease Out Transactions

In each of 1997 and 1999, Con Edison Development entered into a transaction in which it leased property and then immediately subleased it back to the lessor (termed “Lease In/Lease Out,” or LILO transactions). The transactions respectively involve electric generating and gas distribution facilities in

30

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

the Netherlands, with a total investment of $259 million. The transactions were financed with $93 million of equity and $166 million of non-recourse, long-term debt secured by the underlying assets. In accordance with the accounting rules for leases, Con Edison is accounting for the two LILO transactions as leveraged leases. Accordingly, the company’s investment in these leases, net of non-recourse debt, is carried as a single amount in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet and income is recognized pursuant to a method that incorporates a level rate of return for those years when net investment in the lease is positive, based upon the after-tax cash flows projected at the inception of the leveraged leases. The company’s net investment in these leveraged leases was $(20) million at September 30, 2009 and $(8) million at December 31, 2008 and is comprised of a $235 million gross investment less $255 million of deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2009 and $235 million gross investment less $243 million of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2008.

On audit of Con Edison’s tax return for 1997, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disallowed the tax losses in connection with the 1997 LILO transaction. In December 2005, Con Edison paid a $0.3 million income tax deficiency asserted by the IRS for the tax year 1997 with respect to the 1997 LILO transaction. In April 2006, the company paid interest of $0.2 million associated with the deficiency and commenced an action in the United States Court of Federal Claims, entitled Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. v. United States, to obtain a refund of this tax payment and interest. A trial was completed in November 2007. In October 2009, the court issued a decision in favor of the company concluding that the 1997 LILO transaction was, in substance, a true lease that possessed economic substance, the loans relating to the lease constituted bona fide indebtedness, and the deductions for the 1997 LILO transactions claimed by the company in its 1997 federal income tax return are allowable. The IRS is entitled to appeal the decision but has not indicated whether or not it will.

In connection with its audit of Con Edison’s federal income tax returns for 1998 through 2007, the IRS disallowed $416 million of net tax deductions taken with respect to both of the LILO transactions for the tax years. Con Edison has appealed these audit level disallowances, except for 2002, 2003 and 2004 (which it plans to appeal), with the Appeals Office of the IRS. In connection with its audit of Con Edison’s federal income tax return for 2008, the IRS indicated that it intends to disallow $42 million of net tax deductions taken with respect to both of the LILO transactions. If and when this audit level disallowance becomes appealable, Con Edison intends to file an appeal of the disallowance with the Appeals Office of the IRS.

Con Edison believes that its LILO transactions have been correctly reported, and has not recorded any reserve with respect to the disallowance of tax losses, or related interest, in connection with its LILO transactions. Con Edison’s estimated tax savings, reflected in its financial statements, from the two

31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

LILO transactions through September 30, 2009, in the aggregate, was $205 million. If Con Edison were required to repay all or a portion of these amounts, it would also be required to pay interest of up to $55 million net of tax at September 30, 2009.

Pursuant to the accounting rules for leveraged lease transactions, the expected timing of income tax cash flows generated by Con Edison’s LILO transactions are required to be reviewed at least annually. If the expected timing of the cash flows is revised, the rate of return and the allocation of income would be recalculated from the inception of the LILO transactions, and the company would be required to recalculate the accounting effect of the LILO transactions, which would result in a charge to earnings that could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations.

Guarantees

Con Edison and its subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison totaled $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

A summary, by type and term, of Con Edison’s total guarantees at September 30, 2009 is as follows:

Guarantee Type	0 – 3 years		4 – 10 years		> 10 years		Total

For a description of guarantee types, see Note H to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Note I—Income Tax

Reference is made to Note L to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

In June 2009, Con Edison entered into partial agreements with the IRS to resolve its outstanding issues with the Companies’ federal income tax returns for 1998 through 2004, other than the tax treatment of Con Edison Development’s LILO transactions (see “Lease in/Lease Out Transactions” in Note H). The partial agreements incorporate the July 2008 closing agreement between Con Edison and the IRS covering the Companies’ use of the “simplified service cost method” (SSCM) to deduct construction-related costs in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The partial agreements resulted in tax deficiencies

32

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

of $78 million for tax years 1998, 2000 and 2002, and tax refunds of $39 million for 1999, 2001 and 2003. The partial agreement for 2004 resulted in an increased net operating loss deduction of $19 million, which is being carried forward to the Companies’ 2005 federal income tax return.

In August 2009, the IRS billed the Companies $109 million ($78 million for the tax liabilities, as provided in the partial agreements, and $31 million for related interest) for 1998, 2000 and 2002. In September 2009, the Companies paid the bills by applying $109 million of a $160 million deposit the Companies made with the IRS in June 2007.

At September 30, 2009, the Companies’ estimated refunds receivable from the IRS for 1999, 2001 and 2003 ($39 million for Con Edison and Con Edison of New York) and the amount of the Companies’ remaining funds on deposit with the IRS ($51 million for Con Edison and $47 million for Con Edison of New York) were classified as current assets on their respective consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2009, the Companies’ estimated liabilities for uncertain tax positions ($99 million for Con Edison and $89 million for Con Edison of New York) were classified as current liabilities on their respective consolidated balance sheets. The Companies reasonably expect to resolve these uncertain tax positions with the IRS in the next 12 months.

Note K—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging, derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, unless an exception is available under the accounting rules. Certain qualifying derivative contracts have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts. These contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

The accounting rules for derivatives and hedging were expanded in 2009 to require the Companies to provide users of financial statements with enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under the accounting rules, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The accounting rules require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

Energy Price Hedging

Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, and steam by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. The fair values of these derivative instruments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

Fair value of net derivative assets/(liabilities)—net	$	(27	)	$	(106	)	$	24		$	(35	)

Credit Exposure

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps.

At September 30, 2009, Con Edison and Con Edison of New York had $242 million and $43 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $156 million with investment-grade counterparties and $86 million with commodity exchange brokers or independent system operators. Con Edison of New York’s net credit exposure consisted of $3 million with investment-grade counterparties and $40 million with commodity exchange brokers.

Economic Hedges

The Companies enter into derivative instruments that do not qualify or are not designated as hedges under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. However, management believes these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

Net liability derivatives		$	235		$	52

(a) Qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging and, therefore, are excluded from the table.

The Utilities generally recover all of their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas cost, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility commissions. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in earnings in the reporting period in which they occur.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

As of September 30, 2009, Con Edison had 1,400 contracts, including 694 Con Edison of New York contracts, which were considered to be derivatives under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging (excluding qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts). The following table presents the number of contracts by commodity type:

	Electric Derivatives				Gas Derivatives
	Number of Energy Contracts(a)	MWhs(b)	Number of Capacity Contracts(a)	MWs(b)	Number of Contracts(a)	Dths(b)	Total Number Of Contracts(a)
Con Edison	515	14,556,453	90	6,407	795	217,074,500	1,400
Con Edison of New York	67	2,319,150	—	—	627	213,050,000	694

(a) Qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging and, therefore, are excluded from the table.

(b) Volumes are reported net of long and short positions.

The Companies also enter into electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts to hedge the congestion and transportation charges which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.

The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require the Companies to provide collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the Companies’ credit ratings.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position and collateral posted at September 30, 2009, and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade were:

(Millions of Dollars)	Con Edison(a)			Con Edison of New York(a)
Aggregate fair value—net liabilities	$	241		$	51
Collateral posted	$	258		$	65	(b)
Additional collateral(c) (downgrade one level from current ratings(d))	$	2		$	1
Additional collateral(c) (downgrade to below investment grade from current ratings(d))	$	196	(e)	$	23	(e)

(a) Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post collateral, which at September 30, 2009, would have amounted to an estimated $243 million for Con Edison, including $68 million for Con Edison of New York. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.

38

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

(b) Across the Utilities’ energy derivative positions, credit limits for the same counterparties are generally integrated. At September 30, 2009, all collateral for these positions was posted by Con Edison of New York, including an estimated $36 million attributable to O&R.

(c) The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liabilities position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff.

(d) The current ratings are Moody’s, S&P and Fitch long-term credit rating of, as applicable, Con Edison (Baa1/BBB+/BBB+), Con Edison of New York (A3/A-/A-) or O&R (Baa1/A-/A). Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are expressions of opinions that are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

(e) Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At September 30, 2009, if Con Edison and Con Edison of New York had been downgraded to below investment grade, they would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $68 million and $1 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

In May 2008, Con Edison Development’s interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges were sold. The losses were classified to income/(loss) from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and were immaterial to Con Edison’s results of operations.

O&R has an interest rate swap related to its Series 1994A Debt. See Note C to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q. O&R pays a fixed-rate of 6.09 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap at September 30, 2009 was an unrealized loss of $12 million, which has been included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet as a noncurrent liability/fair value of derivative liabilities and a regulatory asset. There was no change in the fair value of the swap for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the fair value of the swap for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $3 million. In the event O&R’s credit rating was downgraded to BBB-/Baa3 or lower, the swap counterparty could elect to terminate the agreement and O&R would be required to settle immediately.

Note L—Fair Value Measurements

Reference is made to Note P to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note K to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First and Second Quarter Forms 10-Q.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 are summarized below under the three-level hierarchy established by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures. The accounting rules define the levels within the hierarchy as follows:

• Level 1—Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date.

39

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

• Level 2—Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

• Level 3—Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 are summarized below:

	Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Netting Adjustments(4)						Total

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 energy derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power and gas costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities commissions. See Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. Unrealized gains and losses for energy derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations.

For the competitive energy businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 energy derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($68 million loss and $76 million gain) and purchased power costs (immaterial and $1 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on level 3 energy derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($121 million loss and $7 million gain) and purchased power costs ($2 million loss and $4 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at September 30, 2009 and 2008, included in non-utility revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, is a $15 million loss and $69 million gain, respectively. The change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at September 30, 2009 and 2008, included in non-utility revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is $15 million loss and $14 million loss, respectively.

Note M—New Financial Accounting Standards

Reference is made to Note T to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note L to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First and Second Quarter Forms 10-Q.

In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” The Update addresses valuation techniques for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. The Update requires companies to measure fair value using valuation techniques provided within the Update or those consistent with Topic 820. The Update is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after the Update’s issuance. The Companies currently record certain derivative liabilities at fair value using valuation techniques consistent with Topic 820. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF NEW YORK)

This combined management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) relates to the consolidated financial statements (the Third Quarter Financial Statements) included in this report of two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison of New York) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto. As used in this report, the term the “Companies” refers to Con Edison and Con Edison of New York. Con Edison of New York is a subsidiary of Con Edison and, as such, information in this MD&A about Con Edison of New York applies to Con Edison.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Third Quarter Financial Statements and the notes thereto and the MD&A in Item 7 of the Companies’ combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (File Nos. 1-14514 and 1-1217, the Form 10-K) and the MD&A in Part I, Item 2 of the Companies’ combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 (File Nos. 1-14514 and 1-1217, the First Quarter Form 10-Q and the Second Quarter Form 10-Q, respectively).

Information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements referred to in this discussion and analysis is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into this discussion and analysis the information to which reference is made.

Corporate Overview

Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of its utility companies, Con Edison of New York and Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), together known as the “Utilities.” Con Edison also has competitive energy businesses (see “Competitive Energy Businesses,” below). Certain financial data of Con Edison’s businesses is presented below:

Con Edison’s net income for common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $336 million or $1.22 a share compared with earnings of $182 million or $0.66 a share for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net income for common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $666 million or $2.43 a share compared with earnings of $1,036 million or $3.80 a share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. See “Results of Operations—Summary,” below.

Regulated Utilities

Con Edison of New York provides electric service to approximately 3.3 million customers and gas service to approximately 1.1 million customers in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility businesses, provides electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and gas service to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania.

The Utilities are primarily “wires and pipes” energy delivery businesses that deliver energy in their service areas subject to extensive federal and state regulation. The Utilities’ customers buy this energy from the Utilities, or from other suppliers through the Utilities’ retail access programs. The Utilities purchase substantially all of the energy they sell to customers pursuant to firm contracts or through wholesale energy markets, and recover (generally on a current basis) the cost of the energy sold, pursuant to approved rate plans.

Con Edison anticipates that the Utilities will continue to provide substantially all of its earnings over the next few years. The Utilities’ earnings will depend on various factors including demand for utility service and the Utilities’ ability to charge rates for their services that reflect the costs of service, including a return on invested equity capital.

Because the energy delivery infrastructure must be adequate to meet demand in peak periods with a high level of reliability, the Utilities’ capital investment plans reflect in great part past actual electric peak demand adjusted to summer design weather conditions, as well as forecast growth in peak usage. The factors affecting demand for utility service include growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy, economic conditions and measures that promote energy efficiency. Demand for electric service peaks during the summer air conditioning season. Demand for gas and steam service peaks during the winter heating season.

The weather during the summer of 2009 was cooler than design conditions. The highest peak electric demand reached in 2009 was 12,242 MW for Con Edison of New York on August 21, 2009 and 1,375

46

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

MW for O&R on August 17, 2009. The Companies have continued to monitor the effects of the ongoing global financial turmoil on the local economy and have reduced their outlook for customer demand. The Utilities currently estimate that, under design weather conditions, the 2010 peak electric demand in their respective service areas will be 13,500 MW for Con Edison of New York and 1,595 MW for O&R. The average annual growth rate of the peak electric demand over the next five years at design conditions is estimated to be approximately 0.3 percent for Con Edison of New York and 0.9 percent for O&R. The Utilities’ forecasted peak demand includes the impact of permanent demand reduction programs. The Companies anticipate an ongoing need for substantial capital investment in order to meet this growth in peak usage with the high level of reliability that they currently provide (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Requirements,” below).

The Utilities have rate plans approved by state utility regulators that cover the rates they can charge their customers. Con Edison of New York’s electric, gas and steam rate plans are effective through April 2010, September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. In May 2009, Con Edison of New York filed a request for a new electric rate plan to be effective April 2010. O&R’s rate plans for its electric and gas service in New York and its subsidiary’s electric service in New Jersey extend through June 30, 2011, October 31, 2012 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Pursuant to the Utilities’ multi-year rate plans, charges to customers generally may not be changed during the respective terms of the rate plans other than for recovery of the costs incurred for energy supply, for specified increases provided in the rate plans and for limited other exceptions. The New York rate plans for Con Edison of New York’s gas and steam operations as well as O&R’s electric and gas operations generally require the Utilities to share with customers earnings in excess of specified rates of return on common equity capital. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in Con Edison of New York’s current electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and (beginning November 2009) gas rate plans, the Utilities’ revenues will generally not be affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. See “Regulatory Matters,” below, “Recoverable Energy Costs” and “Rate Agreements” in Notes A and B, respectively, to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Notes A and B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

The economic effects of rate regulation are reflected in financial statements pursuant to the accounting rules for regulated operations. See “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Competitive Energy Businesses

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses participate in segments of the electricity industry that are less comprehensively regulated than the Utilities. These segments include the sales and related hedging of electricity to wholesale and retail customers and sales of certain energy-related products and services. At September 30, 2009, Con Edison’s equity investment in its competitive energy businesses was $250 million and their assets amounted to $819 million. Con Edison is evaluating additional opportunities to invest in electric and gas-related businesses.

Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions) sells electricity directly to delivery-service customers of utilities primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions (including some of the Utilities’ customers) and also offers energy-related services. Con Edison Solutions does not sell electricity to the Utilities. The company sold approximately 9.5 million MWHs of electricity to customers over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development) participates in infrastructure projects. In 2008, Con Edison Development and its subsidiary, CED/SCS Newington, LLC, completed the sale of their ownership interests in power generating projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 1,706 MW. See Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy) procures electric energy and capacity for Con Edison Solutions and fuel for other companies. It sells the electric capacity and energy produced by plants owned, leased or operated by others. The company also provides energy risk management services to Con Edison Solutions, offers these services to others and enters into wholesale supply transactions.

Discontinued Operations

In 2008, Con Edison Development and its subsidiary, CED/SCS Newington, LLC, completed the sale of their ownership interests in power generating projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 1,706 MW. See Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Results of Operations—Summary

Con Edison’s earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1.22 (basic and diluted basis) compared with $0.66 (basic and diluted basis) for the 2008 period. Con Edison’s earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2.43 ($2.42 on a diluted basis) compared with $3.80 ($3.79 on a diluted basis) for the 2008 period.

(a) Income from continuing operations of the competitive energy businesses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes $16 million and $1 million of net after-tax mark-to-market gains, respectively. Income from continuing operations of the competitive energy businesses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes $(88) million and $(25) million of net after-tax mark-to-market losses, respectively. Income from continuing operations in 2008 also includes $137 million after-tax from the gain on the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects. See Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

(b) Other consists of inter-company and parent company accounting. The nine month period ended September 30, 2008 includes $30 million of after-tax net income related to the resolution of Con Edison’s legal proceeding with Northeast Utilities. See “Results of Operations,” below.

(c) Represents the discontinued operations of certain of Con Edison Development’s generation projects, which includes a $270 million after-tax gain on the sale of generation projects for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. See Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans (including additional revenues designed to recover increases in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes, and interest charges), and the operating results of the competitive energy businesses (including net mark-to-market effects). The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 include a higher allowed electric return on common equity as compared with the 2008 period reflecting increased capital costs. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period include a higher allowed electric return on common equity for Con Edison of New York in 2009 for the second and third quarters, offset in part by, a lower allowed return for the first quarter. Operations and maintenance expenses were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily higher costs, which are generally reflected in rates, such as pension and other postretirement benefits and uncollectible accounts that were offset in part by austerity initiatives reflecting the general economic downturn. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily the impact from increased capital expenditures and higher property tax rates. Results of operations for Con Edison for the nine

Risk Factors

The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. The factors include those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectation and not facts. Words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “will” and similar

50

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time. Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Companies’ financial statements reflect the application of their accounting policies, which conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companies’ critical accounting policies include industry-specific accounting applicable to regulated public utilities and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies, long-lived assets, derivative instruments, goodwill and leases. See “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their respective consolidated statement of cash flows and as discussed below. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. Changes in the Companies’ cash and temporary cash investments resulting from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are summarized as follows:

	Con Edison									Con Edison of New York
(Millions of Dollars)	2009			2008			Variance			2009			2008			Variance
Operating activities	$	1,460		$	50		$	1,410		$	1,326		$	487		$	839
Investing activities		(1,646	)		(288	)		(1,358	)		(1,456	)		(1,611	)		155
Financing activities		187			96			91			147			1,042			(895	)

Balance at end of period	$	75		$	68		$	7		$	54		$	39		$	15

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect principally their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is dependent primarily on factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy, economic conditions and measures that promote energy efficiency. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in Con Edison of New York’s electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and (beginning November 2009) gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were

51

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

approved may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income. See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate agreements. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate agreements. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges include depreciation and deferred income tax expense. Principal non-cash credits include amortizations of certain net regulatory liabilities and the 2008 pre-tax gain on the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in Con Edison of New York’s current electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and (beginning November 2009) gas rate plans. See “Application of Critical Accounting Policies—Accounting for Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and Notes B, E and F to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

In March 2009, Con Edison of New York adopted unbilled revenue accounting which had the non-cash effect of increasing an accrued unbilled revenue receivable and regulatory liabilities. See Note A to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 for Con Edison and Con Edison of New York were $1,410 million and $839 million higher, respectively, than in the 2008 period. The increases in net cash flows reflect the January 2008 semi-annual payment and July 2008 annual payment of Con Edison of New York’s New York City property taxes, compared with a semi-annual payment in July 2009. The Company achieved a 1.5 percent reduction in its New York City property taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 by prepaying the annual tax amount in July 2008. In July 2009, Con Edison of New York made its semi-annual payment of New York City property taxes. The increase is offset by the effect of changes in commodity prices on cash collateral requirements under the Companies derivative instruments. For Con Edison, the increase also reflects the September 2008 payment of income taxes on the gain on the sale of generation projects.

The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs which is reflected in changes to accounts receivable—customers, recoverable energy costs and accounts payable balances.

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison were $1,358 million higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. The increase reflects primarily the proceeds from the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects in 2008. Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison of New York were $155 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily decreased construction expenditures and the repayment of loans by O&R. See Note S to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison were $91 million higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison of New York were $895 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting a common equity investment by Con Edison in 2008.

Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect the issuance of Con Edison common shares through its dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans (2009: 1.6 million shares for $25 million, 2008: 1.5 million shares for $36 million). In addition, as a result of the stock plan issuances, cash used to pay common stock dividends was reduced by $36 million in 2009 and $21 million in 2008.

Net cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 also reflect the following Con Edison of New York transactions:

2009

• Issued $275 million 5.55% 5-year debentures and $475 million 6.65% 10-year debentures; and

• Redeemed at maturity $275 million 4.70% 5-year debentures.

2008

• Issued $600 million 5.85% 10-year debentures and $600 million 6.75% 30-year debentures; and

• Redeemed at maturity $180 million 6.25% 10-year debentures and $100 million 6.15% 10-year debentures.

53

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

In August 2008, Con Edison redeemed at maturity $200 million 3.625% 5-year debentures.

Con Edison’s net cash flows from financing activities also include O&R’s financings. In August 2008, O&R issued $50 million of 6.15% 10-year debentures. The net proceeds received from the issuance were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term debt.

Cash flows from financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuance (included on the consolidated balance sheets as “Notes payable”). The commercial paper amounts outstanding at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the average daily balances for 2009 and 2008 for Con Edison and Con Edison of New York were as follows:

	2009						2008
(Millions of Dollars, except Weighted Average Yield)	Outstanding at September 30			Daily average			Outstanding at December 31			Daily average
Con Edison	$	509		$	276		$	363		$	517
Con Edison of New York	$	427		$	150		$	253		$	380
Weighted average yield		0.3	%		0.4	%		2.4	%		3.4	%

Common stock issuances and external borrowings are sources of liquidity that could be affected by changes in credit ratings, financial performance and capital market conditions. For information about the Companies’ credit ratings and certain financial ratios, see “Capital Resources,” below.

Other Changes in Assets and Liabilities

The following table shows changes in certain assets and liabilities at September 30, 2009, compared with December 31, 2008.

(Millions of Dollars)	Con Edison 2009 vs. 2008 Variance			Con Edison of New York 2009 vs. 2008 Variance

Accrued unbilled revenue	$	363		$	347
Other current assets		152			139
Deferred derivative losses—current		(136	)		(136	)
Liabilities
Regulatory liability—Net unbilled revenue deferrals		70			70
Regulatory liability—Refundable energy costs-unbilled		42			47
Pension and retiree benefits		(319	)		(288	)

Accrued Unbilled Revenue Asset and Regulatory Liabilities

In March 2009, Con Edison of New York began recording unbilled electric, gas and steam revenues in accordance with a PSC order. See Note A to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

54

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

Other Current Assets

Other current assets increased $152 million and $139 million for Con Edison and Con Edison of New York, respectively, at September 30, 2009 compared with December 31, 2008. The increases reflect the receivable for the Utilities’ revenue decoupling mechanism accruals and the Company’s reclassification from noncurrent assets of the deposit with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Deferred Derivative Losses

Deferred derivative losses decreased $136 million for Con Edison and Con Edison of New York, at September 30, 2009 compared with December 31, 2008. Although forward short-term electric and gas commodity prices are lower at September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008, the change is due primarily to the impact of the maturity of certain contract positions.

Pension and Retiree Benefits

The decrease in pension and retiree benefits reflects the year to date amortization of accounting costs, funding of the plan and the reconciliation of the underfunding of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2008.

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ capital resources compared to those disclosed under “Capital Resources” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and in Part I, Item 2 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

For each of the Companies, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (Securities and Exchange Commission basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the 12 months ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was:

	Earnings to Fixed Charges (Times)
	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009	For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2008		For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Con Edison	3.1	3.4	*	3.8	*
Con Edison of New York	3.2	3.3		3.4

* Includes the gain on the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects that was included within continuing operations.

The commercial paper of the Companies is rated P-2, A-2 and F2, respectively, by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Con Edison’s long-term credit rating is Baa1, BBB+ and BBB+, respectively, by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. The unsecured debt of Con Edison of New York is rated A3, A- and A-, respectively, by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. The unsecured debt of O&R is rated Baa1, A- and A, respectively, by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Securities ratings assigned by rating organizations are expressions of opinion and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities. A securities rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Con Edison of New York has $636 million of tax-exempt debt for which the interest rates are determined pursuant to periodic auctions. Of this amount, $391 million is insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation and $245 million is insured by Syncora Guarantee Inc. (formerly XL Capital Assurance Inc.). Credit rating agencies have downgraded the ratings of these insurers from AAA to lower levels. The weighted average annual interest rate on this tax-exempt debt was 0.90 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The weighted average interest rate was 3.94 percent, 3.77 percent and 3.45 percent for the years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Under Con Edison of New York’s current electric and steam rate orders, variations in auction rate debt interest expense are reconciled to the levels set in rates.

Con Edison of New York has $225 million of uninsured tax-exempt debt and O&R has $99 million of insured tax-exempt debt that currently bears interest at rates determined weekly and is subject to tender by bondholders for purchase by the company. Of the $99 million of O&R debt, $55 million is insured by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and $44 million is insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation (see Note C to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). Downgrades in the credit ratings of these insurers have resulted in interest rates on this O&R debt that are significantly higher than the interest rates borne by Con Edison of New York’s $225 million of uninsured weekly rate tender bonds. As of September 30, 2009, the weighted average annual interest rate on the O&R insured weekly rate tender bonds outstanding with bondholders, excluding the effects of an interest rate swap agreement (see “Interest Rate Swaps” in Note K to the Third Quarter Financial Statements),

was 0.70 percent and the rate on the Con Edison of New York weekly rate tender bonds was 0.31 percent. Under O&R’s current New York electric and (beginning November 2009) gas rate orders, variations in variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to the level set in rates. O&R is evaluating alternatives with respect to its weekly rate tender bonds and termination of its interest rate swap agreement.

Capital Requirements

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ capital requirements compared to those discussed under “Capital Requirements” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and in Part I, Item 2 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q, other than as described below.

In October 2009, Con Edison of New York was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for negotiations to receive grants of $136 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to fund 50 percent of the costs of certain smart electric grid projects. In July 2009, the PSC approved customer funding of up to $175 million and $5 million, respectively, for 50 percent of the costs of Con Edison of New York and O&R projects that are awarded such federal grants. Upon completion of each project, the incremental costs for the project (including depreciation, taxes, operating expenses, and return on capital, net of any federal grants, in-kind or matching funds received, adjusted for any operational savings or other benefits from the project) are to begin to be recovered through a temporary surcharge on customer bills. The PSC is requiring the Utilities to propose a surcharge mechanism that will consider the impact of this surcharge on customers. The PSC has indicated that it expects its staff to review the reasonableness of the amounts spent on each project no later than the first rate case in which the utility seeks to place the project into rate base.

The Companies are in the process of finalizing their capital requirements for 2010 and beyond. The Companies currently estimate that their construction expenditures in 2010 and 2011 (other than for the smart electric grid projects referred to above) may decrease from the amounts estimated under “Capital Requirements” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ aggregate obligation to make payments pursuant to contracts compared to those discussed under “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Electric Power Requirements

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ electric power requirements compared to those disclosed under “Electric Power Requirements” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Regulatory Matters

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ regulatory matters compared to those disclosed under “Regulatory Matters” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and Part I, Item 2 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q, “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K, other than as described in Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and investment risk. At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ financial and commodity market risks compared to those discussed under “Financial and Commodity Market Risks” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K, other than as described below and in Note K to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businesses manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. The Companies estimate that at September 30, 2009, each 10 percent variation in interest rates applicable to the Companies’ variable rate debt and commercial paper would result in a change in annual interest expense of $1 million. Under Con Edison of New York’s current electric rate order variations in long-term taxable and tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to the levels set in rates. Under Con Edison of New York’s current steam rate order and O&R’s current New York electric and (beginning November 2009) gas rate orders, variations in variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to the level set in rates.

In addition, from time to time, Con Edison and its businesses enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk on certain debt securities. See “Interest Rate Swaps” in Note K to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

58

Commodity Price Risk

Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses have risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note K to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of September 30, 2009, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $133 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $105 million is for Con Edison of New York and $28 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of their electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of instruments or the portfolio due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their electricity and natural gas commodity businesses using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for transactions associated with hedges on generating assets and commodity contracts, assuming a one-day holding period, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, was as follows:

95% Confidence Level, One-Day Holding Period	2009		2008
	(Millions of Dollars)
Average for the period	$	1	$	2
High		2		3
Low		—		—

Credit Risk

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. Credit risk

59

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements and collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff.

The Utilities had $43 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, at September 30, 2009, of which $3 million was with investment-grade counterparties and $40 million was with commodity exchange brokers.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses had $199 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, at September 30, 2009, of which $153 million was with investment grade counterparties and $46 million was with commodity exchange brokers or independent system operators.

Environmental Matters

At September 30, 2009, there were no material changes in the Companies’ environmental matters compared to those referenced under “Environmental Matters” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and Part I, Item 2 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q, other than as described in Note G and under “Permit Non-Compliance and Pollution Discharges” in Note H to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Material Contingencies

For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see “Application of Critical Accounting Policies—Accounting for Contingencies,” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and Notes B, G and H to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Results of operations reflect, among other things, the Companies’ accounting policies (see “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K) and rate plans that cover the rates the Utilities can charge their customers (see “Regulatory Matters” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K). Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms currently applicable to Con Edison of New York’s electric and gas businesses and O&R’s electric and (beginning November 2009) gas businesses in New York, the Utilities’ revenues will generally not be affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed

60

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (COMBINED FOR CON EDISON AND CON EDISON OF

NEW YORK) — CONTINUED

when rates were approved. Revenues for Con Edison of New York’s steam business and O&R’s other utility businesses are affected by changes in delivery volumes resulting from weather, economic conditions and other factors. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans (including additional revenues designed to recover increases in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes, and interest charges), and the operating results of the competitive energy businesses (including net mark-to-market effects). The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 include a higher allowed electric return on common equity as compared with the 2008 period reflecting increased capital costs. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period include a higher allowed electric return on equity for Con Edison of New York in 2009 for the second and third quarters, offset in part by, a lower allowed return for the first quarter. Operations and maintenance expenses were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily higher costs, which are generally reflected in rates, such as pension and other postretirement benefits and uncollectible accounts that were offset in part by austerity initiatives reflecting the general economic downturn. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily the impact from increased capital expenditures and higher property tax rates. Results of operations for Con Edison in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 period include the gain on the sale of generation projects, the impact of discontinued operations and include the resolution of litigation with Northeast Utilities. For additional information about major factors affecting earnings, see “Results of Operations—Summary,” above.

In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers (see “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A and “Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management uses the term “net revenues” (operating revenues less such costs) to identify changes in operating revenues that may affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management believes that, although “net revenues” may not be a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the measure facilitates the analysis by management and investors of the Companies’ results of operations.

* “Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations and certain other not-for-profit organizations.

Con Edison of New York’s electric operating revenues decreased $275 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to lower purchased power ($428 million) and recoverable fuel costs ($75 million), offset in part by, the 2009 electric rate plan ($161 million), an accrual for the revenue decoupling mechanism ($68 million) and the collection of surcharges from customers in connection with an increase in a New York State assessment ($48 million). Effective April 2008, Con Edison of New York’s revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Electric delivery volumes in Con Edison of New York’s service area decreased 5.7 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in Con Edison of New York’s service area decreased 2.7 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

Con Edison of New York’s electric purchased power costs decreased $428 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to a decrease in unit costs

63

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

($397 million) and purchased volumes ($31 million). Electric fuel costs decreased $75 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to lower unit costs ($66 million) and sendout volumes from the company’s generating facilities ($9 million).

Con Edison of New York’s electric operating income increased $64 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($228 million), offset by higher taxes other than income taxes ($62 million, principally property taxes), operations and maintenance costs ($61 million, principally pension and other postretirement benefits), income taxes ($26 million) and depreciation ($15 million). Effective April 2009, the allowed return on equity is 10 percent compared with 9.1 percent for the comparable 2008 period.

Gas

Con Edison of New York’s gas sales and deliveries, excluding off-system sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period were:

revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison of New York’s sales and transportation volumes for firm customers increased 7.2 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, firm gas sales and transportation volumes in the company’s service area increased 7.4 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to net transfers of customers to firm service and new distributed generation load customers.

Con Edison of New York’s purchased gas cost decreased $34 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due to lower unit costs ($34 million).

Con Edison of New York’s gas operating income decreased $19 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. The decrease reflects primarily lower net revenues ($25 million), higher depreciation ($2 million) and taxes other than income taxes ($1 million, principally property taxes), offset by lower income taxes ($9 million).

Steam sales and delivery volumes decreased 10.0 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, steam sales and deliveries decreased 6.3 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

Con Edison of New York’s steam fuel costs decreased $20 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to lower unit costs ($17 million) and sendout volumes ($3 million). Steam purchased power costs decreased $14 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to a decrease in unit costs ($13 million) and purchased volumes ($1 million).

Steam operating income decreased $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. The decrease reflects primarily higher operations and maintenance costs ($4 million), offset by lower depreciation ($1 million) and taxes other than income taxes ($1 million, principally state and local taxes).

Income Taxes

Operating income taxes increased $17 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to higher operating income.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased $19 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to new debt issuances since September 30, 2008 ($22 million), offset in part by, lower principal amounts and interest rates on commercial paper outstanding in 2009 ($3 million).

O&R’s electric operating revenues decreased $43 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to decreased recoverable purchased power costs ($52 million). Effective July 2008, O&R’s revenues from electric sales in New York are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which, these revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s electric rate plan. See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 3.6 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. After adjusting for weather variations and unbilled volumes, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 1.1 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

Electric operating income was the same in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period.

revenues. Electric wholesale revenues decreased $145 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due primarily to lower sales volumes ($138 million) and unit prices ($7 million). Electric retail revenues increased $3 million, due primarily to higher sales volume ($77 million), offset by lower per unit prices ($74 million). Electric retail revenues increased 1 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due to higher electric volumes, while gross margins increased significantly primarily due to the sale of higher margin contracts, lower costs and higher volumes. Net mark-to-market gains increased $176 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due primarily to higher prices on electric and natural gas contracts, which were economic hedges for retail obligations (but were not accounted for as cash flow hedges). Other revenues increased $12 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due primarily to higher energy services revenue.

Operating expenses excluding income taxes decreased $175 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to lower purchased power ($184 million) and gas purchased for resale costs ($2 million), offset in part by, higher operations and maintenance costs ($12 million).

Income taxes increased $92 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to higher income due to mark-to-market gains and higher earnings from electric retail sales.

Other income(deductions) decreased $5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to an impairment charge on an investment in a generating asset in 2009 ($5 million).

Con Edison of New York’s electric operating revenues decreased $297 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due primarily to lower purchased power ($579 million) and recoverable fuel costs ($92 million) and lower average normalized use per customer ($41 million), offset in part by, the 2009 electric rate plan ($255 million), an accrual for the revenue decoupling mechanism ($92 million) and the collection of a surcharge from customers in connection with an increase in a New York State assessment ($71 million). Effective April 2008, Con Edison of New York’s revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Electric delivery volumes in Con Edison of New York’s service area decreased 2.7 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in Con Edison of New York’s service area decreased 1.7 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

Operating revenues decreased $298 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to lower electric wholesale and retail revenues and the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects in 2008. Electric wholesale revenues decreased $255 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to lower sales volumes ($217 million) and unit prices ($38 million). Electric retail revenues decreased $82 million, due primarily to lower per unit prices ($177 million), offset by higher sales volume ($95 million). Electric retail revenues decreased 8 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due to lower electricity prices, while gross margins increased significantly, primarily due to the sale of higher margin contracts, lower costs and higher volumes. Net mark-to-market gains increased $44 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due primarily to higher prices on electric and natural gas contracts, which were economic hedges for retail obligations (but were not accounted for as cash flow hedges). The competitive energy businesses no longer have revenues from the sale of electricity from owned generation projects due to the sale of generation projects in the second quarter of 2008. These revenues were $23 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (see Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements). Other revenues increased $18 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period due primarily to energy services and other wholesale revenues.

Operating expenses excluding income taxes decreased $386 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to decreased purchased power ($395 million), gas purchased for resale ($5 million) and fuel costs ($3 million) and taxes other than income taxes ($3 million), offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($20 million).

Income taxes decreased $91 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period, due primarily to income taxes related to the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects in 2008 ($124 million), offset by higher income due to mark-to-market gains and higher earnings from electric retail sales.

Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations decreased $274 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period due to the gain on the sale of Con Edison Development’s generation projects in 2008. See Note N to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Gowanus Canal

In August 2009, Con Edison of New York received a Notice of Potential Liability and Request for Information from the EPA about the operations of the company and its predecessors at sites adjacent or near the 1.8 mile Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York. The company understands that the EPA also has provided or will provide notices and information requests to other parties. The EPA has proposed adding the Gowanus Canal to its National Priorities List of Superfund sites. The canal’s adjacent waterfront is primarily commercial and industrial, currently consisting of concrete plants, warehouses, and parking lots, and the canal is near several residential neighborhoods. The company expects that the cost of assessment and remediation of hazardous substances in and around the Gowanus Canal will be substantial. Con Edison of New York is unable to predict its exposure to liability with respect to the Gowanus Canal.

AMENDMENTS

TO THE

CONSOLIDATED EDISON RETIREMENT PLAN

AUSTERITY RETIREMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS

FOR CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC. AND

ORANGE AND ROCKLAND UTILITIES, INC.

DATED: September 29, 2009

Effective July 1, 2009 for Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

Effective August 1, 2009 for Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.

1

Pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Trustees of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (“CECONY”), the Board of Directors of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (“O&R”) and the Board of Directors of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (“CEI”) dated, approved and adopted on May 13, 2009, and June 18, 2009, the undersigned hereby approves the amendments to the Retirement Plan, as set forth below.

1. The, Introduction, is amended by adding the following paragraph immediately before the last paragraph in the Introduction:

On April 21, 2009, the Public Service Commission of New York State issued an “Order Setting Rates” reflecting a proposed downward adjustment to the revenue requirement of CECONY amounting to $60 million (“April ’09 Austerity Order”). In response to the April ’09 Austerity Order, CECONY adopted certain austerity measures, including a temporary salary reduction for CECONY management employees in salary bands three and above, including employees in band numbers 63 up to and including 66, as well as officers (“CECONY Austerity Affected Participants”). CECONY decided that the temporary salary reductions should not have an adverse effect on the long-term pension allowances of CECONY Austerity Affected Participants. Without the Austerity Retirement Plan Amendment, CECONY feared unanticipated and unexpected increases in retirements by CECONY Austerity Affected Participants.

Also, on May 15, 2009, the PSC issued an order (“May ’09 Austerity Order”) directing each major electric and gas utility in New York to examine its capital expenditures, operation and maintenance expenses, and any other areas over which the utility may have discretion in order to identify costs that may be reduced without impairing the ability to provide safe and adequate service. Pursuant to the May ’09 Austerity Order, O&R adopted certain Austerity Measures, including: (i) a temporary salary freeze for O&R officers and management employees through June 30, 2010, and (ii) certain amendments that would apply to O&R officers and management employees participating in the Retirement Plan (“O&R Austerity Affected Participants”).

2

2. Article I, Definitions, Section 1.06(b), Annual Basic Straight-Time Compensation, is amended solely to clarify that a CEI Participant’s annual rate of salary is determined at the end of each calendar quarter instead of each calendar year so that the changed sentences read as follows:

(b) … For a CEI Participant, his or her regular stated annual rate of salary in his or her last pay period in each calendar quarter, determined prior to any Pre-Tax Contributions, excluding premium pay, overtime pay, payments under deferred compensation, incentive, or other employer benefit or compensation plans, and all other forms of special pay. If a CEI Participant is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, his or her Annual Basic Straight Time Compensation means his or her hourly rate of pay at the end of each calendar quarter times 520 hours.

3. Article I, Definitions, Section 1.06, Annual Basic Straight-Time Compensation, is amended to add subsections 1.06(c), 1.06(d) and 1.06(e) to read as follows:

(c) Because of the Austerity Measures and only during the CECONY Austerity Period, for a CECONY Austerity Affected Participant, Annual Basic Straight-Time Compensation is his or her regular stated annual rate of salary determined on either (i) the last pay period in calendar year 2009 or, if greater, (ii) at the end of June 2009. If the June 2009 salary rate is higher than a later salary rate, the June 2009 salary rate will be taken into account only if it is higher on account of Austerity Measures.

(d) Because of the Austerity Measures and only during the CECONY Austerity Period, for a CEI Participant who is a CECONY Austerity Affected Participant, Annual Basic Straight-Time Compensation is his or her regular stated annual rate of salary determined on either (i) the last pay period in each calendar quarter or, if greater, (ii) in the last pay period of June 2009. If the June 2009 salary rate is higher than the salary rate at the end of a later calendar quarter, the June 2009 salary rate will be taken into account only if it is higher on account of Austerity Measures.

(e) Because of the Austerity Measures and only during the O&R Austerity Period, for a CEI Participant who is an O&R Management Employee of O&R, Annual Basic Straight-Time Compensation in the first two calendar quarters of 2010 is the

3

salary rate he or she would have received but for the Austerity Measures. If the CEI Participant is an O&R Management Employee and, at the end of the Austerity Period, receives an increase in his or her salary rate, the increased rate will be deemed to have occurred in January 2010 or April 2010, or when it would have otherwise occurred but for the Austerity Measures.

4. Article I, Definitions, Section 1.08, Annual O&R Management Compensation, is amended to add a new paragraph at the end to read as follows:

Because of the Austerity Measures and only during the O&R Austerity Period, for an O&R Management Participant, Annual O&R Management Compensation means his or her regular remuneration except that, if and when an Affected O&R Management Participant receives a salary increase, he or she will be treated as if the salary was increased in January 2010 or April 2010, when it would have otherwise occurred but for the Austerity Measures. The result is that the O&R Management Participant’s Annual O&R Management Compensation for 2010 will not be his or her regular remuneration but his or her regular remuneration plus the amount of the increase, if any, taken into account earlier than the date actually received in 2010.

5. Article I, Definitions, is amended by adding the following definitions in alphabetical order and renumbering Article I as required.

1.0XX Austerity Measures mean, for CECONY, certain measures taken in response to the April ’09 Austerity Order, including a temporary salary reduction for CECONY Management Employees in salary bands three and above as well as officers. Austerity Measures means, for O&R, certain measures taken in response to the May ’09 Austerity Order, including a temporary salary freeze for O&R Management Employees as well as officers.

1.0xXX CECONY Austerity Affected Participant is a CECONY management employee in salary bands three and above, including employees in band numbers 63 up to and including 66, as well as officers.

4

1.0XX CECONY Austerity Period for CECONY begins on July 1, 2009 and ends on June 30, 2010.

1.0XX O&R Austerity Period for O&R begins on August 1, 2009 and ends on June 30, 2010.

(“CEI”) dated, approved and adopted on May 13, 2009, and June 18, 2009, respectively, the undersigned hereby approves the amendments to the Retirement Plan, as set forth below.

1. The, Introduction, is amended by adding the following paragraph immediately before the last paragraph in the Introduction:

On April 21, 2009, the Public Service Commission of New York State issued an “Order Setting Rates” reflecting a proposed downward adjustment to the revenue requirement of CECONY amounting to $60 million (“April ’09 Austerity Order”). In response to the April ’09 Austerity Order, CECONY adopted certain austerity measures, including a temporary reduction of employer matching contributions for CECONY management participants.

Also, on May 15, 2009, the PSC issued an order (“May ’09 Austerity Order”) directing major electric and gas utilities in New York to examine their capital expenditures, operation and maintenance expenses, and any other areas over which it has discretion in order to identify costs that may be reduced without impairing the ability to provide safe and adequate service. Pursuant to the May ’09 Austerity Order, O&R has adopted certain austerity measures including a temporary reduction of employer matching contributions for O&R management participants.

2. Article III, Contributions, Section 3.05, Participating Contributions Eligible for Employer Contributions, Subsection 3.05(b) is amended by adding at the end of that subsection the following:

Effective as of the first day of the “Austerity Period,” as that term is defined herein, continuing during and ending at the end of the Austerity Period, CECONY will reduce its employer matching contribution. Beginning on July 1, 2009, CECONY will contribute, on behalf of each CECONY Management Participant who elects to make Pre-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions, 25% of the sum of the Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions made by the CECONY Management

2

Participant to the Thrift Savings Plan during each month, not to exceed 6% of Compensation for such month. The CECONY Employer Contributions will be matched first on Pre-Tax contributions, and then on After-Tax Contributions. Employer Contributions during the Austerity Period will not exceed 1.5% of the Participant’s Compensation for each month. Also, effective as of the first day of the Austerity Period, the CECONY True-Up Contribution for the period July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 will equal the difference between 1.5% of such Participant’s Compensation on a semi annual basis minus his or her total Employer Contributions made during July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. The CECONY True-Up Contribution for the period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 will equal the difference between 3.0% of such Participant’s Compensation on a semi-annual basis minus his or her total Employer Contributions made during January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The CECONY True-Up Contribution for 2010 will equal the difference between 1.5% of such Participant’s Compensation on an annual basis minus his or her total Employer Contributions made during January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010. If the Austerity Period ends before December 31, 2010, the CECONY True-Up contribution will be based at 1.5% for the shorter time period commencing January 1, 2010.

3. Article III, Contributions, Section 3.05, Participating Contributions Eligible for Employer Contributions, Subsection 3.05(d) is amended by adding at the end of that subsection the following:

Effective as of the first day of the “Austerity Period,” as that term is defined herein, continuing during and ending at the end of the Austerity Period, O&R will reduce its employer matching contribution. Beginning on August 1, 2009, O&R will contribute, on behalf of each O&R Management Participant who elects to make Pre-Tax Contributions, 25% of the sum of the Pre-Tax Contributions made on behalf by the O&R Management Participant to the Thrift Savings Plan during each Payroll Period, not to exceed 6% of Compensation for such Payroll Period. Employer Contributions for each Payroll Period will not exceed 1.5% of the Participant’s Compensation for such Payroll Period.

Effective as of the first day of the Austerity Period, the O&R True-Up Contribution will equal the difference between 1.5% of such Participant’s Compensation during the Austerity Period minus his or her total Employer Contributions made during the

3

Austerity Period. True-Up Contributions during the Austerity Period will not exceed the amount as will result in the total O&R Employer Contributions exceeding 25% of an O&R Management Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions that do not exceed 6% of the O&R Management Participant’s Compensation on an annual basis.

4. Article I, Definitions, is amended by adding the following definition in alphabetical order and renumbering Article I as required.

1.0XX Austerity Period for CECONY begins on July 1, 2009 and ends on the day designated by CECONY. Austerity Period for O&R begins on August 1, 2009 and ends on the day designated by O&R.
