(a)       Represents a gain on foreign currency forward contracts that hedged the repayment of the 2011 Bridge Facility borrowing.

(b)       In July 2011, as a result of PPL Electric's redemption of 7.125% Senior Secured Bonds due 2013, PPL recorded a gain on the accelerated amortization of the fair value adjustment to the debt recorded in connection with previously settled fair value hedges.

(c)       As a result of the net proceeds from the sale of certain non-core generation facilities, coupled with the monetization of full-requirement sales contracts, debt that had been planned to be issued by PPL Energy Supply was no longer needed. As a result, hedge accounting associated with interest rate swaps entered into by PPL in anticipation of a debt issuance by PPL Energy Supply was discontinued. Associated net losses were reclassified from AOCI into earnings.

(d)       Represents a foreign currency loss related to the repayment of the 2011 Bridge Facility borrowing.

 

"Other Income (Expense) - net" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 for PPL Electric is primarily AFUDC. KU amounts are not significant.
