Generation activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 includes the results of Constellation for March 12, 2012 - June 30, 2012.

(b)       BGE activity represents the activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. BGE recognized a loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a result, positive percentages represent an income tax benefit for BGE for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

(c)       Prior to the close of the merger, the Registrants recorded the applicable taxes on merger transaction costs assuming the merger would not be completed. Upon closing of the merger, the Registrants reversed such taxes for those merger transaction costs that were determined to be non tax-deductible upon successful completion of a merger.
