PECO Installment Plan Receivables (Exelon and PECO)

 

PECO enters into payment agreements with certain delinquent customers, primarily residential, seeking to restore their service, as required by the PAPUC. Customers with past due balances that meet certain income criteria are provided the option to enter into an installment payment plan, some of which have terms greater than one year, to repay past due balances in addition to paying for their ongoing service on a current basis. The receivable balance for these payment agreement receivables is recorded in accounts receivable for the current portion and other deferred debits and other assets for the noncurrent portion. The net receivable balance for installment plans with terms greater than one year was $18 million as of March 31, 2014 and $19 million as of December 31, 2013. The allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve methodology and assessment of the credit quality of the installment plan receivables are consistent with the customer accounts receivable methodology discussed in Note 1 – Significant Account Policies of the Exelon 2013 Form 10-K. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance associated with these receivables at March 31, 2014 of $15 million consists of $1 million, $4 million and $10 million for low risk, medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance at December 31, 2013 of $18 million consists of $1 million, $4 million and $13 million for low risk, medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The balance of the payment agreement is billed to the customer in equal monthly installments over the term of the agreement. Installment receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include balances not yet presented on the customer bill, accounts currently billed and an immaterial amount of past due receivables. When a customer defaults on its payment agreement, the terms of which are defined by plan type, the entire balance of the agreement becomes due and the balance is reclassified to current customer accounts receivable and reserved for in accordance with the methodology discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies of the Exelon 2013 Form 10-K.

 

Like-Kind Exchange Transaction (Exelon)

 

Prior to the PECO/Unicom Merger in October 2000, UII, LLC (formerly Unicom Investments, Inc.) (UII), a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, entered into a like-kind exchange transaction pursuant to which approximately $1.6 billion was invested in coal-fired generating station leases located in Georgia and Texas with two separate entities unrelated to Exelon. The generating stations were leased back to such entities as part of the transaction. See Note 9 – Income Taxes for further information. For financial accounting purposes, the investments are accounted for as direct financing lease investments. UII holds the leasehold interests in the generating stations in several separate bankruptcy remote, special purpose companies it directly or indirectly wholly owns. The lease agreements provide the lessees with fixed purchase options at the end of the lease terms. If the lessees do not exercise the fixed purchase options, Exelon has the ability to require the lessees to arrange for a third-party to bid on a service contract for a period following the lease term. Exelon will be subject to residual value risk if the lessees do not exercise the fixed purchase options. This risk is partially mitigated by the fair value of the scheduled payments under the service contract. However, such payments are not guaranteed. Further, the term of the service contract is less than the expected remaining useful life of the plants and, therefore, Exelon's exposure to residual value risk will not be mitigated by payments under the service contract in this remaining period. In the fourth quarter of 2000, under the terms of the lease agreements, UII received a prepayment of $1.2 billion for all rent, which reduced the investment in the leases. There are no minimum scheduled lease payments to be received over the remaining term of the leases.

 

On February 26, 2014, UII and the City Public Service Board of San Antonio, Texas (CPS) finalized an agreement to terminate the leases on the generating station located in Texas, as described above, prior to their expiration dates. As a result of the lease termination, UII received a net early termination amount of $335 million from CPS and wrote off the net investment in the CPS long-term lease of $336 million in Investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet; resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1 million being reflected in Operating and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. See Note 9 – Income Taxes for impact of the lease termination on income taxes.

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the components of the net investment in long-term leases were as follows:

 

 March 31, 2014 December 31, 2013
Estimated residual value of leased assets$ 731 $ 1,465
Less: unearned income  363   767
Net investment in long-term leases$ 368 $ 698
