CONSTELLATION ENERGY GROUP, INC. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN Date: June 28, 2001 By:/s/ Richard D. Honaker ------------------- ------------------------- Richard D. Honaker Plan Administrator 2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Plan Administrator of the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Employee Savings Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits with fund information of the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan), formerly the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Employee Savings Plan, as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of financial information for the year ended December 31, 2000 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits for each fund. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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/ Mitchell & Titus L.L.P. --------------------------- Mitchell & Titus L.L.P.

See accompanying notes to the financial statements. 10 CONSTELLATION ENERGY GROUP, INC. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - --------------------------------- Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) established the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Employee Savings Plan and Trust Agreement on July 1, 1978. Effective April 30, 1999, BGE shareholders approved the formation of a holding company - Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (the Company) and the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Employee Savings Plan was amended, restated and renamed as the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (Plan). There were no other significant Plan changes made at that time. T. Rowe Price Trust Company (T. Rowe Price) is the trustee (Trustee). In addition, TRP Retirement Plan Services, Inc., is the provider of administrative services for the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Employees become eligible to make contributions one month after date of hire. After meeting this eligibility requirement, participants are allowed to contribute up to 15% of their eligible pay through regular payroll deductions, under a deferred compensation option and/or a thrift option. Participant contributions under the deferred compensation option are excluded from current year's taxable income, whereas participant contributions under the thrift option are included in current year's taxable income. The Company contributes one-half of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed by participants. The Plan accepts rollovers of employees' eligible rollover distributions from other qualified plans. There are eleven investment fund choices offered for participant contributions: the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund (formerly the BGE Common Stock Fund), the Interest Income Fund and nine mutual funds. The Interest Income Fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Stable Asset Management, Inc. The mutual funds consist of the T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 Fund, the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund, the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund, the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund, the T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund, the T. Rowe Price New Income Fund, and the T. Rowe Price Small Cap Value Fund (mutual funds). All Company contributions are initially invested by the Trustee in the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund. 11 1.GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued) - --------------------------------------------- Participant and Company matching contributions are sent, each pay period, to the Trustee, who invests participant contributions as designated, either in (1) the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund for the purchase (on the open market) or other acquisition (as described in Note 2) of shares of the Company's common stock; (2) the nine T. Rowe Price mutual funds; or (3) the Interest Income Fund, as more fully described below. Dividends and earnings received on any shares held in participants' accounts, except for the shares of Company common stock held in their employee stock accounts, whether in the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund, or the mutual funds are automatically used to purchase or otherwise acquire additional shares for reinvestment in the corresponding fund, and all earnings on each participant's investment in the Interest Income Fund are automatically reinvested in that fund. Dividends received on shares of Company common stock held in a participant's employee stock account are invested by the Trustee in income-producing investments. Annually, a check is sent to the participant representing the total dividends credited to the participant's employee stock account. Any income earned on the dividends is not paid out annually, but is used to purchase or otherwise acquire additional shares of Company common stock for reinvestment in the participant's employee stock account. The total number of common stock or mutual fund shares purchased for any participant depends upon: (1) the participant's eligible pay; (2) the amount of the participant's eligible pay that is contributed; (3) the amount of that contribution which is designated for investment in the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund or the mutual funds; (4) the amount of Company matching contributions invested in the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund; (5) the reinvested dividends and earnings on each investment fund; and (6) the price of common stock or mutual fund shares, at the time of purchase, for each investment fund. 12 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued) - ---------------------------------------------- Amounts held in the Interest Income Fund are invested in contracts issued by insurance companies or other financial institutions and in short term investments. Each contract specifies a fixed or variable rate of interest for a certain period of time. The interest rate earned by the Interest Income Fund is a blend of the rates under the various investments. The annual effective rates for 2000 and 1999 were 6.25% and 6.20%, respectively. The crediting interest rates for the investment contracts as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 were 6.15% and 5.74%, respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, there were no investments in the individual contracts of any issuer in the Interest Income Fund which exceeded 5% of net assets available for benefits. Contracts included in the Interest Income Fund have been reported at their contract value, which approximates fair market value. All the investments in this fund are held for purposes other than trading. Participants have the right, once a month, to change the amount of their payroll deductions. Participants also have the right to change, on a daily basis, the percentage of their future contributions being invested in each of the eleven investment funds as provided in the Plan. In addition, participants are allowed to initiate, on a daily basis, a transfer of the value of their contributions, including earnings, among the eleven investment funds. Furthermore, as of the beginning of the calendar year in which participants reach age 56, they may initiate, on a daily basis, a transfer of the value of their Company contributions and employee stock account among the eleven investment funds. Under a loan program, participants may borrow up to one-half of their total account balance, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000. Participants may elect up to five years to repay the loan, unless the loan is used for the purchase of a principal residence, in which case they may elect up to thirty years for repayment. Participants are allowed to have up to two loans outstanding at any time. Principal and interest are repaid through regular payroll deductions or by direct payment. The interest rate on amounts borrowed is set at the time the loan is executed and remains in effect for the duration of the loan. The interest rate for loans is equal to the prime rate plus 1% on the last day of the month preceding the month the loan is initiated. The Plan allows participants to postpone, until withdrawal or distribution, any income tax liability on (1) all Company contributions; (2) participant contributions under the deferred compensation option; and (3) earnings on their contributions and Company contributions. Participant contributions under the thrift option are included in current year's taxable income. 13 1.GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued) - --------------------------------------------- Withdrawals of thrift contributions and Company contributions, including earnings, are allowed to be initiated on a daily basis. All contributions held in participants' accounts are immediately 100% vested. However, participants who withdraw unmatured basic contributions (contributions of up to the first 6% of the participant's eligible pay that had not remained in the Plan for two full calendar years) are suspended from making payroll contributions to the Plan for twelve months. Distributions to participants who retire or terminate active employment are automatically deferred until they either reach age 65 or cease active employment, whichever is later, unless they request an earlier or later distribution. Generally, participants who reach age 70 1/2 must begin receiving their Plan distribution by April 1 of the following year. Furthermore, active employees who attain age 59 1/2 may request to receive a distribution of their deferred compensation account balances. The Plan is administered by the Director - Benefits, Human Resources Division of Constellation Energy Group, Inc., as Plan Administrator. Administrative fees charged by institutions, which issue contracts for the Interest Income Fund, are reflected in the effective rate earned by the fund. The Company currently pays all other fees and expenses of the Plan, including those of the Trustee. Brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes associated with the purchase, sale, or transfer of shares of common stock for the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund and mutual fund shares for the nine mutual funds are borne by those funds. 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 and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - -------------------------------------------- The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Shares of common stock for participant contributions and Company matching contributions currently are purchased for the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund on the open market, through new issuances or by other acquisition. Mutual fund shares for the T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds are purchased on the open market, except the Trustee may purchase from time to time a small number of shares at current market value from participants making withdrawals or interfund transfers or obtaining loans from the Plan. The cost of shares sold from the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund and the T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds, as a result of participant distributions, withdrawals, interfund transfers or loans, is determined under the average cost method. 14 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------- Withdrawals and distributions to participants are recorded when paid. Leveraging provisions are included in the Plan, but these provisions have not yet been utilized. Shares of common stock in the Constellation Energy Common Stock Fund held by T. Rowe Price Trust Company are valued as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, using the quoted closing market price as reported by the "NYSE--Composite Transactions" published in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal. Mutual fund shares held in the T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds, are valued as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively, using the net asset value price of such shares as quoted by the "Mutual Fund Quotations" for such date in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value except for the various contracts issued by insurance companies or other financial institutions, under the Interest Income Fund, which are fully benefit-responsive and are stated at contract value. Contract value is equal to the aggregate of the net contributions and earnings thereon. The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

The first initiative is that we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("Goldman Sachs"). Under the terms of the Agreement, Goldman Sachs will acquire up to a 17.5% equity interest in the domestic merchant energy business, which will be consolidated under a single holding company ("Holdco"). Goldman Sachs will also acquire a ten-year warrant for up to 13% of Holdco's common stock (subject to certain adjustments.) The warrant is exercisable six months after Holdco's common stock becomes publicly available. Goldman Sachs is acquiring its interest and the warrant in exchange for $250 million in cash (subject to adjustment in certain instances) and certain assets related to the power marketing operation. At closing, Goldman Sachs' existing services agreement with the Company's power marketing operation will terminate. The second initiative is a plan to separate the domestic merchant energy business from the remaining businesses. The separation will create two stand-alone, publicly traded energy companies. One will be a merchant energy business engaged in wholesale power marketing and generation under the name "Constellation Energy Group" after the separation. The other will be a regional retail energy delivery and energy services company, BGE Corp., which will include BGE, other nonregulated businesses, and an investment in Orion Power Holdings, Inc. As a result of the separation, shareholders will continue to own all of the Company's current businesses through their ownership of the stock of the new Constellation Energy Group and BGE Corp. As a result of the separation, the Company intends to follow a "split-and-clone" approach, retaining the existing Employee Savings Plan for BGE Corp. and adopting a mirror plan for the new Constellation Energy Group. Participants in both Plans will be allowed to retain their investment in both companies stock. However, participants in the BGE Corp. Plan, will be restricted from purchasing any additional new Constellation Energy Group stock, and participants in the new Constellation Energy Group Plan will be restricted from purchasing any additional BGE Corp. stock. No other Plan changes are anticipated at this time. 19 7.Current Corporate Strategy (Continued) - ---------------------------------------- The third initiative is a change in the Company's common stock dividend policy effective April 2001. In a move closely aligned with the separation plan, the annual divided was reduced to $.48 per share. After the separation, BGE Corp. expects to pay initial annual dividends of $.48 per share. Constellation Energy Group, as a growing merchant energy company, initially expects to reinvest its earnings in order to fund its growth plans and not to pay a dividend. The closing of the transaction with Goldman Sachs and the separation are subject to customary closing conditions and contingent upon obtaining regulatory approvals and a Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding certain tax matters. The transaction and separation are expected to be completed by late 2001. 20
