Notes

-      The charge related to Southern Company's investments in leveraged lease transactions significantly impacted the presentation of earnings and earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, and significant charges related to these investments are not expected to occur on a regular basis.

 

-      Tax credits associated with Southern Company's synthetic fuel investments expired December 31, 2007. Synthetic fuel related income no longer materially contributes to Southern Company's earnings or earnings per share.
