These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers - --------------------------- PricewaterhouseCoopers June 9, 2001 1 Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits December 30, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 Investments $ 43,282,975 $ 43,787,006 Receivables: Employer contributions 13,929 13,516 Participant contributions 46,489 43,572 ------------ ------------ Net assets available for benefits $ 43,343,393 $ 43,844,094 ------------ ------------ The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. -2- Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits December 30, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additions: Employee contributions $ 2,678,059 Employer contributions 710,202 Interest income 785,513 Dividend income 1,919,059 Net depreciation in fair value of investments (2,675,233) ------------ Total additions 3,417,600 ------------ Deductions: Benefits paid to participants 3,915,301 Administrative fees 3,000 ------------ Total deductions 3,918,301 ------------ Net decrease in net assets available for benefits (500,701) Net assets available for benefits, at beginning of year 43,844,094 ------------ Net assets available for benefits, at end of year $ 43,343,393 ------------ The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. -3- Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description of Plan General The following description of the Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions All full-time bargaining unit employees of the Atlantic City Electric Company (the "Company"), are eligible to participate in the Plan. Additionally, any employee who is not a regular full-time employee shall be eligible to participate upon completion of 1,000 hours of service. Employees may contribute up to 10% of base pay. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any of seven investment options. The tax savings portion of participant contributions (up to 6% of an employee's base pay) is matched by the Company at a rate of 50% not to exceed 3% of the employee's compensation. The Company's matching contribution is invested in the Stable Value Fund. Federal income taxes on these contributions and the related income are deferred until withdrawn. Benefits from the tax savings portion of the Plan can be withdrawn upon the attainment of age 59-1/2, retirement, separation from service, death or in special financial hardship situations. In addition, employees may contribute up to an additional 10% of base pay on an after-tax basis to the supplemental savings portion of the Plan, which also earns income that is not subject to Federal income tax until withdrawn. These contributions may be withdrawn once a quarter subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Participant Accounts Participants' contributions are recorded in the period of the related payroll deductions. The Company's matching contributions are recorded in the period of the related participants' contributions. Participants are fully vested in employee and employer contributions in their respective accounts at all times. Termination of Plan Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. Administration Costs Certain professional fees and administrative expenses incurred in connection with the Plan are paid by the Company. The facilities of the Company are used by the Plan at no charge. Loan processing fees are paid by the participants and deducted from Plan assets. Participant Loans Receivable Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years and up to fifteen years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the Plan Administrator. The interest rate for 2000 and 1999 was 9%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through weekly payroll deductions. -4- Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade-date. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex- dividend date. Common stock is valued at closing price on its principal exchange, shares of common collective trusts are valued at net asset value. Investment in Common/Collective Trust The Custom Stable Value Common Trust Fund invests in various term guaranteed insurance contracts and maintains a cash reserve balance with all excess funds. The average yield and the weighted average crediting interest rate are based on the underlying contracts. Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, where applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. -5- Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. -7- Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - B EIN#: 51-0377417, PLAN#: 003 Schedule H - Item 4(i) Schedule of Assets (held at End of Year) December 30, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supplemental Schedules
