20 EXELON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES PECO ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 and for the three and six months then ended are unaudited, but include all adjustments that Exelon Corporation (Exelon), Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), PECO Energy Company (PECO) and Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation) consider necessary for a fair presentation of their respective financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The December 31, 2001 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' or member's equity. These notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Exelon, ComEd and PECO included in or incorporated by reference in Item 8 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Generation's Form S-4 registration statement declared effective on April 24, 2002 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), (Generation's Form S-4). See ITEM 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. 2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS No. 141), which requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and establishes criteria for the separate recognition of intangible assets acquired in business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires that unamortized negative goodwill related to pre-July 1, 2001 purchases be recognized as a change in accounting principle concurrent with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142). At December 31, 2001, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen), an equity-method investee of Generation, had $43 million of negative goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, recorded on its balance sheet. Upon AmerGen's adoption of SFAS No. 141 in January 2002, Generation recognized its proportionate share of income of $22 million ($13 million, net of income taxes) as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and intangible assets. Other than goodwill, Exelon does not have significant other intangible assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization, however, 21 goodwill is subject to an assessment for impairment using a two-step fair value based test, the first step of which must be performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed. The second step compares the carrying amount of the goodwill to the fair value of the goodwill. If the fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is reported as a reduction to goodwill and a charge to operating expense, except at the transition date, when the loss is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As of December 31, 2001, Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected approximately $5.3 billion in goodwill net of accumulated amortization, including $4.9 billion of net goodwill related to the October 20, 2000 merger of Unicom Corporation (Unicom), the former parent company of ComEd, and PECO (Merger) recorded on ComEd's Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remainder related to acquisitions by Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC (Enterprises). The first step of the transitional impairment analysis indicated that ComEd's goodwill was not impaired but that an impairment did exist with respect to goodwill recorded in Enterprises' reporting units. Exelon's infrastructure services business (InfraSource), the energy services business (Exelon Services) and the competitive retail energy sales business (Exelon Energy) were determined to be those reporting units of Enterprises that had goodwill allocated to them. The second step of the analysis, which compared the fair value of each of Enterprises' reporting units' goodwill to the carrying value at December 31, 2001, indicated a total goodwill impairment of $357 million ($243 million, net of income taxes and minority interest). The fair value of the Enterprises' reporting units was determined using discounted cash flow models reflecting the expected range of future cash flow outcomes related to each of the Enterprises reporting units over the life of the model. These cash flows were discounted to 2002 using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The impairment was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment (see Note 6 for further discussion of reportable segments) for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:
Energy Delivery Enterprises Total --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance as of January 1, 2002 $ 4,902 $ 433 $ 5,335 Impairment losses -- (357) (357) Settlement of pre-merger income tax contingency (7) -- (7) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance as of June 30, 2002 $ 4,895 $ 76 $ 4,971 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The June 30, 2002, Energy Delivery goodwill relates to ComEd and the remaining Enterprises goodwill relates to the InfraSource and Exelon Services reporting units. Consistent with SFAS No. 142, the remaining goodwill will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if significant events occur that could indicate an impairment exists. 22 The components of the net transitional impairment loss recognized in the first quarter of 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle are as follows:
Exelon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enterprises goodwill impairment (net of income taxes of $103 million) $ (254) Minority interest (net of income taxes of $4 million) 11 Elimination of AmerGen negative goodwill (net of income taxes of $9 million) 13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle $ (230) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generation ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elimination of AmerGen negative goodwill (net of income taxes of $9 million) recorded as cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle $ 13 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 The following tables set forth Exelon's net income and earnings per common share and ComEd's net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, adjusted to exclude 2001 amortization expense related to goodwill that is no longer being amortized.

Generation The cessation of the amortization of negative goodwill of AmerGen on January 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on Generation's reported net income for the three or six months ended June 30, 2002. 24 EITF Issue 02-3 Exelon and Generation early adopted the provision of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 02-3 "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities" (EITF 02-3) issued by the FASB EITF in June 2002 that requires revenues and energy costs related to energy trading contracts to be presented on a net basis in the income statement. Prior to the second quarter of 2002, revenues from trading activity were presented in Revenue and the energy costs related to energy trading were presented as either Purchased Power or Fuel expense on Exelon and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Income. For comparative purposes, energy costs related to energy trading have been reclassified in prior periods to revenue to conform with the net basis of presentation required by EITF 02-3. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, $30 million of purchased power expense and $5 million of fuel expense was reclassified and reflected as a reduction to revenue. The three months ended March 31, 2002 included $504 million of purchased power expense and $9 million of fuel expense that has been reclassified and reflected as a reduction to revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2002. SFAS No. 144 In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 establishes accounting and reporting standards for both the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and its provisions are generally applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement had no effect on Exelon's reported financial positions, results of operations or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) applies to all derivative instruments and requires that such instruments be recorded on the balance sheet either as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value through earnings, with special accounting permitted for certain qualifying hedges. On January 1, 2001, Exelon, ComEd, PECO, and Generation adopted SFAS No. 133. Generation recognized a non-cash gain of $12 million, net of income taxes, in earnings and deferred a non-cash gain of $4 million, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income and PECO deferred a non-cash gain of $40 million, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income. 3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (Exelon and Generation) Acquisition of Generating Plants from TXU On April 25, 2002, Generation acquired two natural-gas and oil-fired plants from TXU Corp. (TXU) for an aggregate purchase price of $443 million. The purchase included the 893-megawatt Mountain Creek Steam Electric Station in Dallas and the 1,441-megawatt Handley Steam Electric Station in Fort Worth. The transaction included a power purchase agreement for TXU to purchase power during the months of May through September from 2002 through 2006. During the periods covered by the power purchase agreement, TXU will make fixed capacity payments and will provide fuel to Exelon in return for exclusive rights to the energy and capacity of the generation plants. Substantially all of the purchase price has been allocated to property, plant, and equipment pending final valuation of plant assets. 25 Sale of AT&T Wireless On April 1, 2002, Enterprises sold its 49% interest in AT&T Wireless PCS of Philadelphia, LLC to a subsidiary of AT&T Wireless Services for $285 million in cash. Enterprises recorded an after-tax gain of $116 million in other, net on the $84 million investment, which was reflected in Deferred Debits and Other Assets on Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sithe New England Holdings, LLC Acquisition On June 26, 2002, Generation agreed to purchase Sithe New England Holdings, LLC, (Sithe New England) a subsidiary of Sithe Energies Inc. (Sithe), and related power marketing operations in exchange for a $543 million note plus the assumption of non-recourse debt, estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion at the transaction closing date. The parties are seeking Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other required approvals of the purchase by October 31, 2002. Exelon has negotiated closing conditions that allow Exelon to terminate the purchase if the conditions are not satisfied. If approved, and if the closing conditions are satisfied, the transaction could be completed in November 2002. The purchase involves approximately 4,471 MWs of generation capacity, consisting of 2,050 MWs in operation and 2,421 MWs under construction, which will increase Generation's net assets by approximately $1.7 billion when the transaction closes. Sithe New England's generation facilities are located primarily in Massachusetts, but are also located in Maine. Generation is a 49.9% owner of Sithe and accounts for the investment as an unconsolidated equity investment. The Sithe New England purchase will not affect the accounting for Sithe as an equity investment. Additionally, Generation is subject to a Put and Call Agreement (PCA) that gives Generation the right to purchase (Call) the remaining 50.1% of Sithe, and gives the other Sithe shareholders the right to sell (Put) their interest to Generation. If the Put option is exercised, Generation has the obligation to complete the purchase. The PCA provides that the Put and Call options become exercisable as of December 18, 2002. The Sithe New England purchase is a separate transaction from the PCA that is intended to enable Generation to acquire only the Sithe assets that fit Generation's strategy, accelerate the realization of synergies, and reduce the amount of debt needed to finance the transaction. See ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Exelon Corporation - for further discussion of the PCA. 4. REGULATORY ISSUES (Exelon, ComEd and PECO) On April 1, 2002, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) issued an interim order in ComEd's Delivery Services Rate Case. The interim order is subject to an audit of test year expenditures that is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2002 with a final order to be issued in 2003. The order sets new delivery rates for residential customers choosing a new retail electric supplier. The new rates became effective May 1, 2002 when residential customers were eligible to choose their supplier of electricity. Traditional bundled rates paid by customers that retain ComEd as their electricity supplier are not affected by this order. Bundled rates will remain frozen through 2006, as a result of the June 6, 2002 amendments to the Illinois 26 Restructuring Act that extended the freeze on bundled rates for an additional two years. Delivery service rates for non-residential customers are not affected by the order. The potential revenue impact of the interim order is not expected to be material in 2002. As permitted by the Pennsylvania Electric Competition Act, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has calculated a 2002 Revenue Neutral Reconciliation (RNR) adjustment to the gross receipts tax rate in order to neutralize the impact of electric restructuring on its tax revenues. In January 2002, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved the RNR adjustment to the gross receipts tax rate collected from customers. Effective January 1, 2002, PECO implemented the change in the gross receipts tax rate. The RNR adjustment is under appeal. The RNR adjustment increases the gross receipts tax rate, which will increase PECO's annual revenues and tax obligations by approximately $50 million in 2002. 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE (Exelon) Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding under Exelon's stock option plans considered to be common stock equivalents. The following table shows the effect of these stock options on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share (in millions):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------- ------------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average common shares outstanding 322 321 322 320 Assumed exercise of stock options 2 3 2 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average diluted common shares outstanding 324 324 324 323 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock options not included in average common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect were three million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and one million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. 27 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION (Exelon) Exelon operates in three business segments: energy delivery, generation and enterprises. Energy delivery consists of the operations of ComEd and PECO. Beginning in 2002, Exelon evaluates the performance of its business segments on the basis of net income. Exelon's segment information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001 and at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 as compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

28 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Exelon recorded net gains/(losses) in other comprehensive income relating to mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments of contracts designated as cash flow hedges as follows:
ComEd PECO Generation Enterprises Exelon --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, 2002 $(13) $ (7) $ 15 $ (3) $ (8) Three months ended June 30, 2001 -- 15 (61) (2) (48) Six months ended June 30, 2002 (6) (1) (107) 14 (100) Six months ended June 30, 2001 -- 8 (62) 2 (52) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation recognized net MTM gains on non-trading energy derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, in operating revenues as follows:
2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, $ 4 $ 5 Six months ended June 30, 10 22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, no amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as a result of forecasted energy commodity transactions no longer being probable. During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation recognized net MTM losses on energy trading contracts, in operating revenues as follows:
2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, $ (9) $ (6) Six months ended June 30, (13) (6) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, PECO reclassified other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges related to certain forecasted financing transactions that were no longer probable of occurring as follows:
2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, $ -- $ -- Six months ended June 30, -- 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 As of June 30, 2002, deferred net gains on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months are as follows:
ComEd PECO Generation Enterprises Exelon --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gains Expected to be Reclassified $ 1 $ 15 $ -- $ 2 $ 18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income related to interest rate cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings when the forecasted interest payment occurs. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income related to energy commodity cash flows are reclassified into earnings when the forecasted purchase or sale of the energy commodity occurs. Generation classifies investments in the trust accounts for decommissioning nuclear plants as available-for-sale. The following tables show the fair values, gross unrealized gains and losses and amortized cost bases for the securities held in these trust accounts.
June 30, 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Estimated Cost Gains Losses Fair Value --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity securities $ 1,677 $ 115 $ (406) $ 1,386 Debt securities Government obligations 994 39 (1) 1,032 Other debt securities 641 18 (17) 642 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total debt securities 1,635 57 (18) 1,674 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total available-for-sale securities $ 3,312 $ 172 $ (424) $ 3,060 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in Accumulated Depreciation and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, proceeds from the sale of decommissioning trust investments and gross realized gains and losses on those sales were $309 million, $13 million and $24 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, proceeds from the sale of decommissioning trust investments and gross realized gains and losses on those sales were $889 million, $31 million and $56 million, respectively. Net realized losses of $4 million were recognized in Accumulated Depreciation in Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2002 and $21 million of net realized losses were recognized in Other Income and Deductions in Generation's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The available-for-sale securities held at June 30, 2002 have an average maturity of eight to ten years. The cost of these securities was determined on the basis of specific identification. 30 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) For information regarding capital commitments, nuclear decommissioning and spent fuel storage, see the Commitments and Contingencies Note in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Exelon, ComEd and PECO for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Generation's S-4 dated April 24, 2002. Environmental Liabilities Exelon has identified 72 sites where former manufactured gas plant (MGP) activities have or may have resulted in actual site contamination. As of June 30, 2002, Exelon had accrued $139 million for environmental investigation and remediation costs that currently can be reasonably estimated, including $115 million for MGP investigation and remediation. ComEd had accrued $96 million (discounted) as of June 30, 2002, for environmental investigation and remediation costs that currently can be reasonably estimated. This reserve included $90 million for MGP investigation and remediation. ComEd is currently experiencing delays in the ongoing remediation of an MGP site in Oak Park, Illinois, and is evaluating the impact of those delays on the cost to complete the project. The impact of the delays is currently uncertain, but could increase the environmental reserve in the future. PECO had accrued $34 million (undiscounted) as of June 30, 2002, for environmental investigation and remediation costs that currently can be reasonably estimated, including $25 million for MGP investigation and remediation. Generation had accrued $9 million (undiscounted) as of June 30, 2002, for environmental investigation and remediation cost, none of which relates to MGP investigation and remediation. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation cannot predict the extent to which they will incur other significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by environmental agencies or others, or whether such costs may be recoverable from third parties. 31 Energy Commitments Exelon and Generation had long-term commitments relating to the net purchase and sale of energy, capacity and transmission rights from unaffiliated utilities, including Midwest Generation LLC (Midwest Generation), and others, including AmerGen, as expressed in the following table:
Power Only Purchases from Net Capacity Power Only ------------------------- Transmission Purchases (1) Sales AmerGen Non-Affiliates Rights Purchases --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 $ 634 $ 2,111 $ 127 $ 1,659 $ 72 2003 692 1,491 247 588 108 2004 859 822 301 200 89 2005 389 244 227 78 83 2006 352 120 227 66 2 Thereafter 4,120 23 2,045 272 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 7,046 $ 4,811 $ 3,174 $ 2,863 $ 354 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Net Capacity Purchases includes Midwest Generation commitments as of July 1, 2002. On July 1, 2002, Generation notified Midwest Generation of the exercise of its call options under the existing Coal Generation Purchase Power Agreement. Generation exercised options on 1,265 MWs of capacity and did not exercise options on 2,684 MWs of capacity. In 2003, Generation will take 1,696 MWs of non-option capacity and 1,265 MWs of option capacity under the existing contract. Net Capacity Purchases also includes capacity sales to TXU under the purchase power agreement entered into in connection with the purchase of two generating plants in April 2002, which states that TXU will purchase the plant output from May through September from 2002 through 2006. The combined capacity of the two plants is 2,334 MWs.
In connection with the 2001 corporate restructuring, ComEd entered into a purchase power agreement (PPA) with Generation. Under the terms of the PPA, Generation has agreed to supply all of ComEd's load requirements through 2004. Prices for this energy vary depending upon the time of day and month of delivery. During 2005 and 2006, ComEd's PPA is a partial requirements agreement under which ComEd will purchase all of its required energy and capacity from Generation, up to the available capacity of the nuclear generating plants formerly owned by ComEd and transferred to Generation. Under the terms of the PPA, Generation is responsible for obtaining any required transmission service. The PPA also specifies that prior to 2005, ComEd and Generation will jointly determine and agree on a market-based price for energy delivered under the PPA for 2005 and 2006. In the event that the parties cannot agree to market-based prices for 2005 and 2006 prior to July 1, 2004, ComEd has the option of terminating the PPA effective December 31, 2004. ComEd will obtain any additional supply required from market sources in 2005 and 2006, and subsequent to 2006, will obtain all of its supply from market sources, which could include Generation. In connection with the 2001 corporate restructuring, PECO entered into a PPA with Generation. Under the terms of the PPA, PECO obtains substantially all of its electric supply from Generation through 2010. Also, under the restructuring, PECO assigned its rights and obligations under various PPAs and fuel supply agreements to Generation. Generation supplies power to PECO from the transferred generation assets, assigned PPAs and other market sources. 32 Under terms of the 2001 corporate restructuring, ComEd remits to Generation any amounts collected from customers for nuclear decommissioning. Under an agreement effective September 2001, PECO remits to Generation any amounts collected from customers for nuclear decommissioning. Litigation Exelon Securities Litigation. Between May 8 and June 14, 2002, a total of six nearly identical class action lawsuits were filed in the Federal District Court in Chicago asserting securities claims on behalf of Exelon investors during April to September 2001. The complaints allege that Exelon violated Federal securities laws by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements relating to its 2001 earnings expectations during the Class Period. On May 30 and July 2, 2002, the Court granted Exelon's agreed-upon motions to consolidate the pending cases into one lawsuit, and stayed discovery indefinitely. A lead plaintiff has not been selected. Exelon believes the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously contesting this matter. ComEd Chicago Franchise. In March 1999, ComEd reached a settlement agreement with the City of Chicago (Chicago) to end the arbitration proceeding between ComEd and Chicago regarding the January 1, 1992 franchise agreement. As part of the settlement agreement, ComEd and Chicago agreed to a revised combination of ongoing work under the franchise agreement and new initiatives that will result in defined transmission and distribution expenditures by ComEd to improve electric services in Chicago. The settlement agreement provides that ComEd would be subject to liquidated damages if the projects are not completed by various dates, unless it was prevented from doing so by events beyond its reasonable control. In addition, ComEd and Chicago established an Energy Reliability and Capacity Account, into which ComEd deposited $25 million during each of the years 1999 through 2001 and has conditionally agreed to deposit $25 million at the end of 2002, to help ensure an adequate and reliable electric supply for Chicago. FERC Municipal Request for Refund. Three of ComEd's wholesale municipal customers filed a complaint and request for refund with the FERC alleging that ComEd failed to properly adjust its rates, as provided for under the terms of the electric service contracts with the municipal customers and to track certain refunds made to ComEd's retail customers in the years 1992 through 1994. In the third quarter of 1998, FERC granted the complaint and directed that refunds be made, with interest. ComEd filed a request for rehearing. On April 30, 2001, FERC issued an order granting rehearing in which it determined that its 1998 order had been erroneous and that no refunds were due from ComEd to the municipal customers. On June 29, 2001, FERC denied the customers' requests for rehearing of the order granting rehearing. In August 2001, each of the three wholesale municipal customers appealed the April 30, 2001 FERC order to the Federal circuit court, which consolidated the appeals for the purposes of briefing and decision. In November 2001, the court suspended briefing pending court-initiated settlement discussions. Retail Rate Law. In 1996, several developers of non-utility generating facilities filed litigation against various Illinois officials claiming that the enforcement against those facilities of an amendment to Illinois law removing the entitlement of those facilities to state-subsidized 33 payments for electricity sold to ComEd after March 15, 1996 violated their rights under the Federal and state constitutions. The developers also filed suit against ComEd for a declaratory judgment that their rights under their contracts with ComEd were not affected by the amendment. On August 4, 1999, the Illinois Appellate Court held that the developers' claims against the state were premature, and the Illinois Supreme Court denied leave to appeal that ruling. Developers of both facilities have since filed amended complaints repeating their allegations that ComEd breached the contracts in question and requesting damages for such breach reflecting the state-subsidized rate to which the developers claim they were entitled under their contracts. These matters are in the discovery phase. Certain of the plaintiffs have produced an expert report claiming approximately $175 million in damages, a quantification ComEd vigorously disputes. Virtually all parties have filed motions for summary judgment. ComEd is contesting each case and has filed its motion for summary judgment arguing that, as a matter of law, it did not breach any of the contracts. Service Interruptions. In August 1999, three class action lawsuits were filed against ComEd, and subsequently consolidated, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking damages for personal injuries, property damage and economic losses related to a series of service interruptions that occurred in the summer of 1999. The combined effect of these interruptions resulted in over 168,000 customers losing service for more than four hours. Conditional class certification was approved by the court for the sole purpose of exploring settlement talks. ComEd filed a motion to dismiss the complaints. On April 24, 2001, the court dismissed four of the five counts of the consolidated complaint without prejudice and the sole remaining count was dismissed in part. On June 1, 2001, the plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint and ComEd has filed an answer. A portion of any settlement or verdict may be covered by insurance; discussions with the carrier are ongoing. Enron. As a result of Enron Corp.'s bankruptcy proceeding, ComEd has potential monetary exposure for 366 of its customer accounts that were served by Enron Energy Services (EES) as a billing agent. EES has rejected its contracts with these accounts, with the exception of approximately 100 accounts for which EES retains its billing agency. ComEd is working to ensure that customers know what amounts are owed to ComEd on accounts for which EES has been removed as billing agent, and has obtained updated billing addresses for these accounts. With regard to the accounts for which EES retains its billing agency, ComEd's total amount outstanding is not material. Because that amount is owed to ComEd by individual customers, it is not part of the bankrupt Enron's estate. The ICC has rescinded EES's authority to act as an alternative retail energy supplier in Illinois. However, EES never served as a supplier, as opposed to a billing agent, to any of ComEd's retail accounts. ComEd and Generation Godley Park District Litigation. On April 18, 2001, the Godley Park District filed suit in Will County Circuit Court against ComEd and Generation alleging that oil spills at Braidwood Station have contaminated the Park District's water supply. The complaint sought actual damages, punitive damages of $100 million and statutory penalties. The court dismissed all counts seeking punitive damages and statutory penalties, and the plaintiff has filed an amended complaint before the court. The amended complaint added counts under the Illinois Public Utility Act (PUA), which provides for statutory penalties and allows recovery of attorneys fees. On 34 April 20, 2002, the Court denied ComEd and Generation's motion to dismiss the additional counts under the PUA. ComEd and Generation are contesting the liability and damages sought by the plaintiff. Generation Cotter Corporation Litigation. During 1989 and 1991, actions were brought in Federal and state courts in Colorado against ComEd and its subsidiary, Cotter Corporation (Cotter), seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief based on allegations that Cotter permitted radioactive and other hazardous material to be released from its mill into areas owned or occupied by the plaintiffs, resulting in property damage and potential adverse health effects. In 1994, a Federal jury returned nominal dollar verdicts against Cotter on eight plaintiffs' claims in the 1989 cases, which verdicts were upheld on appeal. The remaining claims in the 1989 actions were settled or dismissed. In 1998, a jury verdict was rendered against Cotter in favor of 14 of the plaintiffs in the 1991 cases, totaling approximately $6 million in compensatory and punitive damages, interest and medical monitoring. On appeal, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the jury verdict, and remanded the case for new trial. These plaintiffs' cases were consolidated with the remaining 26 plaintiffs' cases, which had not been tried. The consolidated trial was completed on June 28, 2001. The jury returned a verdict against Cotter and awarded $16.3 million in various damages. On November 20, 2001, the District Court entered an amended final judgment that included an award of both pre-judgment and post-judgment interests, costs, and medical monitoring expenses that total $43.3 million. This matter is being appealed by Cotter in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Cotter will vigorously contest the award. In November 2000, another trial involving a separate sub-group of 13 plaintiffs, seeking $19 million in damages plus interest was completed in federal district court in Denver. The jury awarded nominal damages of $42,500 to 11 of 13 plaintiffs, but awarded no damages for any personal injury or health claims, other than requiring Cotter to perform periodic medical monitoring at minimal cost. Cotter and the plaintiffs both appealed the verdict to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. On February 18, 2000, ComEd sold Cotter to an unaffiliated third party. As part of the sale, ComEd agreed to indemnify Cotter for any liability incurred by Cotter as a result of these actions, as well as any liability arising in connection with the West Lake Landfill discussed in the next paragraph. In connection with Exelon's 2001 corporate restructuring, the responsibility to indemnify Cotter for any liability related to these matters was transferred by ComEd to Generation. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has advised Cotter that it is potentially liable in connection with radiological contamination at a site known as the West Lake Landfill in Missouri. Cotter is alleged to have disposed of approximately 39,000 tons of soils mixed with 8,700 tons of leached barium sulfate at the site. Cotter, along with three other companies identified by the EPA as potentially responsible parties (PRPs), is reviewing a draft feasibility study that recommends capping the site. The PRPs are also engaged in discussions with the State of Missouri and the EPA. The estimated costs of remediation for the site are $10 to $15 million. Once a final feasibility study is complete and a remedy selected, it is expected 35 that the PRPs will agree on an allocation of responsibility for the costs. Until an agreement is reached, Exelon cannot predict its share of the costs. Real Estate Tax Appeals. Generation is involved in tax appeals regarding a number of its nuclear facilities, Limerick Generating Station (Montgomery County, PA), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (York County, PA), Quad Cities Station (Rock Island County, IL), and one of its fossil facilities, Eddystone (Delaware County, PA). Generation is also involved in the tax appeal for Three Mile Island (Dauphin County, PA) through AmerGen. Generation does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Generation's results of operations or financial condition. General Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are involved in various other litigation matters. The ultimate outcome of such matters, as well as the matters discussed above, while uncertain, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its respective financial condition or results of operations. 9. MERGER-RELATED COSTS (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) In association with the Merger, Exelon recorded certain reserves for restructuring costs. The reserves associated with PECO were charged to expense, while the reserves associated with Unicom were recorded as part of the application of purchase accounting and did not affect results of operations. Merger-related costs charged to expense in 2000 were $276 million, consisting of $124 million for PECO employee costs and $152 million of direct incremental costs. Direct incremental costs represent expenses directly associated with completing the Merger, including professional fees, regulatory approval and settlement costs, and settlement of compensation arrangements. Employee costs represent estimated severance costs and pension and postretirement benefits provided under Exelon's merger separation plans for eligible employees who are expected to be involuntarily terminated before December 2002 due to integration activities of the merged companies. The purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2000 included a liability of $307 million for Unicom employee costs and liabilities of approximately $39 million for estimated costs of exiting various business activities of former Unicom activities that were not compatible with the strategic business direction of Exelon. 36 During 2001, Exelon finalized its plans for consolidation of functions, including negotiation of an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 15 regarding severance benefits to union employees and recorded adjustments to the purchase price allocation as follows:
Original 2001 Adjusted Estimate Adjustments Liabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Employee severance payments $ 128 $ 33 $ 161 (a) Relocation and other benefits 21 9 30 (a) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Employee severance payments and relocation and other benefits 149 42 191 Actuarially determined pension and postretirement costs 158 (11) 147 (b) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Unicom - Employee Cost $ 307 $ 31 $ 338 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (a) The increase is a result of the identification in 2001 of additional positions to be eliminated. (b) The reduction results from lower estimated pension and post retirement welfare benefits reflecting revised actuarial estimates.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the reserve for employee severance and relocation costs associated with the merger:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Employee severance and relocation reserve as of October 20, 2000 $ 149 Additional reserve 42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adjusted employee severance and relocation reserve 191 Payments to employees (October 2000-March 2002) (92) Payments to employees (April 2002-June 2002) (33) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Employee severance and relocation reserve as of June 30, 2002 $ 66 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional employee severance costs of $48 million primarily related to PECO employees were charged to expense in 2001. Exelon anticipates that a total of $281 million of employee costs will be funded from pension and postretirement benefit plans. As part of the January 2001 corporate restructuring, portions of the employee severance and restructuring reserve were transferred from ComEd to Generation, Enterprises and Exelon Business Services Company (BSC). Approximately $37 million and $15 million of the employee severance and relocation reserve as of June 30, 2002 relates to ComEd and Generation, respectively, and is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of those entities. Approximately 3,300 Unicom and PECO positions have been identified to be eliminated as a result of the merger. Exelon has terminated 2,255 employees as of June 30, 2002 of which 510 were terminated in the second quarter of 2002. The remaining positions are expected to be eliminated by the end of 2002. 10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Exelon and ComEd) On June 13, 2002, ComEd issued $200 million of 6.15% First Mortgage Bonds, due March 15, 2012. The $200 million bond issuance was a refinancing of the $200 million of 8.5% First Mortgage Bonds redeemed on July 15, 2002 at a redemption price of 103.915% of the principal amount. 37 In connection with the issuance of the $200 million of First Mortgage Bonds, ComEd settled a forward starting interest rate swap in the notional amount of $75 million resulting in a $1 million loss recorded in other comprehensive income, which is being amortized over the expected remaining life of the related debt. On April 15, 2002, ComEd issued $100 million of Illinois Development Finance Authority floating-rate Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2002. The $100 million bond issuance was used to redeem $100 million of 7.25% Illinois Development Finance Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1991. On March 13, 2002, ComEd issued $400 million of 6.15% First Mortgage Bonds, due March 15, 2012. This $400 million bond issuance refinanced other First Mortgage Bonds. In connection with the issuance of $400 million of First Mortgage Bonds, ComEd settled forward starting interest rate swaps in the aggregate notional amount of $375 million resulting in a $9 million loss recorded in other comprehensive income, which is being amortized over the expected remaining life of the related debt. On March 21, 2002, ComEd redeemed $200 million of 8.625% First Mortgage Bonds at the redemption price of 103.84% of the principal amount. These bonds had a maturity date of February 1, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, ComEd recorded prepayment premiums of $9 million, partially offset by net unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance expenses of $2 million, associated with the early retirement of debt in 2002 that have been deferred by ComEd in regulatory assets and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the related new debt issuance consistent with regulatory recovery. 11. SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Exelon and PECO) PECO is party to an agreement, which expires in November 2005, with a financial institution under which it can sell or finance with limited recourse an undivided interest, adjusted daily, in up to $225 million of designated accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2002, PECO had sold a $225 million interest in accounts receivable, consisting of a $170 million interest in accounts receivable that PECO accounted for as a sale under SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" and a $55 million interest in special-agreement accounts receivable which were accounted for as a long-term note payable. PECO retains the servicing responsibility for these receivables. The agreement requires PECO to maintain the $225 million interest, which, if not met, requires cash, which would otherwise be received by PECO under this program, to be held in escrow until the requirement is met. At June 30, 2002, PECO met this requirement. 12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) Exelon and Generation In February 2002, Generation entered into an agreement to loan AmerGen up to $75 million at an interest rate equal to the 1-month London Interbank Offering Rate plus 2.25%. As 38 of June 30, 2002, $75 million had been loaned to AmerGen. In July 2002, the loan agreement and the loan were increased to $100 million and the maturity date was extended to July 1, 2003. Generation has entered into PPAs dated December 18, 2001 and November 22, 1999 with AmerGen. Under the 2001 PPA, Generation has agreed to purchase from AmerGen all the energy from Unit No. 1 at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2014. Under the 1999 PPA, Generation has agreed to purchase from AmerGen all of the residual energy from Clinton Nuclear Power Station (Clinton), through December 31, 2002. Currently, the residual output approximates 25% of the total output of Clinton. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the amount of purchased power recorded in Purchased Power in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is $60 million and $12 million and $116 million and $22 million, respectively.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation) In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS No. 143). In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, " Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS No. 145). In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS No. 146). SFAS No. 143 provides accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. Exelon expects to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. Retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets included within the scope of SFAS No. 143 are those for which there is a legal obligation to settle under existing or enacted law, statute, written or oral contract or by legal construction under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 will change the accounting for the decommissioning of Exelon's nuclear generating plants as well as certain other long-lived assets. Currently, Generation records the obligation for decommissioning ratably over the lives of the plants. The January 1, 2003 adoption of SFAS No. 143 will require a cumulative effect adjustment effective the date of adoption to adjust plant assets and decommissioning liabilities to the values they would have been had this standard been employed from the in-service dates of the plants. As it relates to nuclear decommissioning, the effect of this cumulative adjustment will be to change the decommissioning liability to reflect the fair value of the decommissioning obligation at the balance sheet date. Additionally, the standard will require the accrual of an asset related to the decommissioning obligation, which will be amortized over the remaining lives of the plants. The net difference between the asset recognized and the 43 liability recorded upon adoption of SFAS No. 143 will be charged to earnings and recognized as a cumulative effect, net of expected regulatory recovery. The decommissioning liability to be recorded represents an obligation for the future decommissioning of the plants, and as a result accretion expense will be accrued on this liability until such time as the obligation is satisfied. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 143 on their financial statements, and cannot determine the ultimate impact of adoption at this time, however, the cumulative effect could be material to earnings. Additionally, although over the life of the plant the charges to earnings for the depreciation of the asset and the interest on the liability will be equal to the amounts currently recognized as decommissioning expense, the timing of those charges will change and in the near-term period subsequent to adoption, the depreciation of the asset and the interest on the liability could result in an increase in expense. SFAS No. 145 eliminates SFAS No. 4 "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt" (SFAS No. 4) and thus allows for only those gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt that meet the criteria of extraordinary items to be treated as such in the financial statements. SFAS No. 145 also amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" (SFAS No. 13) to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of this statement relating to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, the provisions of this statement relating to the amendment of SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, and all other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 145 on their financial statements, and do not expect the impact to be material. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when incurred, rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. 14. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE (Exelon, ComEd and Generation) Effective April 1, 2001, Generation changed its accounting estimates related to the depreciation and decommissioning of certain generating stations. The estimated service lives were extended by 20 years for three nuclear stations, by periods of up to 20 years for certain fossil stations and by 50 years for a pumped storage station. Effective July 1, 2001, the estimated service lives were extended by 20 years for the remainder of Exelon's operating nuclear stations. These changes were based on engineering and economic feasibility studies performed by Generation considering, among other things, future capital and maintenance expenditures at these plants. As a result of the change, net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $25 million ($16 million, net of income taxes) and $60 million ($36 million, net of income taxes), respectively. 44 Effective April 1, 2002, ComEd changed its accounting estimate related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts. This change was based on an independently prepared evaluation of the risk profile of ComEd's customer accounts receivable. As a result of the new evaluation, the allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve was reduced by $11 million in the second quarter of 2002. 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 1, 2002, Exelon Generation notified Midwest Generation of the exercise of its call options under the existing Coal Generation Purchase Power Agreement. Exelon Generation exercised options on 1,265 MWs of capacity and did not exercise options on 2,684 MWs of capacity. In 2003, Exelon Generation will take 1,696 MWs of non-option capacity and 1,265 MWs of option capacity under the existing contract. 45 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted) EXELON CORPORATION GENERAL Exelon Corporation (Exelon), through its subsidiaries, operates in three business segments: o Energy Delivery, consisting of the retail electricity distribution and transmission businesses of Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in northern Illinois and PECO Energy Company (PECO) in southeastern Pennsylvania and the natural gas distribution business of PECO in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. o Generation, consisting of Exelon Generation Company, LLC's (Generation) electric generating facilities, energy marketing operations and equity interests in Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe) and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen). o Enterprises, consisting of Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC's (Enterprises) competitive retail energy sales, energy and infrastructure services, communications and other investments weighted towards the communications, energy services and retail services industries. See Note 6 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further segment information. Generation early adopted the provision of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 02-3 "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities" (EITF 02-3) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) EITF in June 2002 that requires revenues and energy costs related to energy trading contracts to be presented on a net basis in the income statement. For comparative purposes, energy costs related to energy trading have been reclassified in prior periods to revenue to conform with the net basis of presentation required by EITF 02-3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Net Income and Earnings Per Share Net income increased $170 million, or 54%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per common share increased $0.53 per share, or 55%. The increase in net income reflects the gain on Enterprises' sale of its 49% interest in AT&T Wireless PCS of Philadelphia, LLC (AT&T Wireless), higher earnings in Energy Delivery, primarily related to an increase in retail sales due to warmer summer weather, the discontinuation of goodwill amortization at Energy Delivery and Enterprises required by the adoption of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142) and certain other factors affecting net income, which are discussed in the remainder of the results of operations section. 46 Exelon evaluates its performance on a business segments basis. The analysis below presents the operating results for each of its business segments for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. Corporate provides its business segments a variety of support services including legal, human resources, financial and information technology services. These costs are allocated to the business segments. Additionally, Corporate costs reflect costs for strategic long-term planning, certain governmental affairs, and interest costs and income from various investment and financing activities.

Energy Delivery's gross margin (revenue net of purchased power and fuel) increased $9 million, $25 million of which was attributable to warmer summer weather in the second quarter 47 of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001 in the ComEd service territory, which increased retail electric volume. The retail increase was offset by lower wholesale sales volume. Lower operating and maintenance expense reflects a reduction in bad debt expense due to a change in estimate and lower system repair and storm restoration costs, partially offset by costs associated with the deployment of automated meter reading technology and increased corporate allocations. Energy Delivery's depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $25 million reflecting $33 million for the discontinuation of goodwill amortization due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002, partially offset by $9 million of higher regulatory asset amortization. As required by the Illinois Restructuring Act, ComEd made a notification filing with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to reflect lower depreciation rates effective July 1, 2002. No ICC approval is required for the new rates to take effect. The anticipated annual reduction in depreciation expense is estimated to be approximately $100 million. Lower interest expense reflects a reduction in debt outstanding and lower interest rates due to debt refinancing. The reduction in other, net, primarily reflects lower intercompany interest income reflecting lower interest rates. Energy Delivery's effective income tax rate was 38.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 42.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, which was not deductible for income tax purposes, and a reduction in state income taxes. 48 Energy Delivery Operating Statistics and Revenue Detail Energy Delivery's electric sales statistics and revenue detail are as follows:

Revenue from customers choosing an alternative energy supplier includes a distribution charge and a CTC. Revenues from customers choosing ComEd's PPO includes an energy charge at market rates, transmission, and distribution charges and a CTC. Transmission charges received from alternative energy suppliers are included in wholesale and miscellaneous revenue. (3) Wholesale and miscellaneous revenues include sales to alternative energy suppliers, transmission revenue, sales to municipalities and other wholesale energy sales.
The changes in electric retail revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001 are attributable to the following:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (14) Customer Choice 46 Weather 41 Other Effects 32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Retail Revenue $ 105 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Rate Changes. The decrease in revenues attributable to rate changes reflects the 5% ComEd residential rate reduction, effective October 1, 2001, required by the Illinois restructuring legislation partially offset by $13 million due to an increase in PECO's gross receipts tax rate. The increase in PECO's gross receipts tax 50 rate will increase PECO's annual revenue and tax obligation by approximately $50 million in 2002. o Customer Choice. All ComEd and PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy from other suppliers. This choice generally does not impact kWh deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to energy supplied by Energy Delivery. On May 1, 2002, all ComEd residential customers were eligible to choose their supplier of electricity, however; as of June 30, 2002, no alternative electric supplier has sought approval from the ICC and no electric utilities have chosen to enter the ComEd residential market for the supply of electricity. The favorable customer choice effect is attributable to increased revenues of $85 million from customers in Pennsylvania selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier, partially offset by a decrease in revenues of $39 million from customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from an Alternative Retail Electric Supplier (ARES) or the PPO, under which customers can purchase power from ComEd at a market-based rate. ComEd and PECO continue to collect delivery charges from these customers. o Weather. The demand for electricity and gas services is impacted by weather conditions. Very warm weather in summer months and very cold weather in other months is referred to as "favorable weather conditions", because these weather conditions result in increased sales of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. The weather impact was favorable compared to the prior year as a result of warmer summer weather in the ComEd service territory during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. o Other Effects. Other items increasing revenues were primarily related to a $39 million favorable volume variance other than weather, due to the impact of a strong housing construction market in Chicago partially offset by the impact of a slower economy on large commercial and industrial customers. The reduction in wholesale revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects a $10 million decrease due to the expiration of wholesale contracts that were offered by ComEd from June 2000 to May 2001 to support the open access program in Illinois and a 2001 $15 million reversal of reserve for revenue refunds related to certain of ComEd's municipal customers as a result of a favorable FERC ruling. On July 19, 2002, ComEd filed a request with the ICC to revise the Provider of Last Resort (POLR) obligation in Illinois. ComEd is seeking permission from the ICC to limit the availability by June 2006 of Rate 6L for 370 of ComEd's largest energy customers with demands of at least three MWs, totaling approximately 2,500 MWs. Rate 6L is a bundled fixed rate offered to large customers including heavy industrial plants, large office buildings, government facilities and a variety of other businesses. The ICC has 120 days to act on the filing or it will be deemed approved. 51 Energy Delivery's gas sales statistics and revenue detail are as follows:
For the three months ended June 30, ------------------------------------- 2002 2001 Variance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deliveries in million cubic feet (mmcf) 14,286 13,781 505 Revenue $84 $ 112 $ (28) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes in gas revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
(in millions) Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (28) Weather -- Volume (1) Other 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas Revenue $ (28) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Rate Changes. The unfavorable variance in rates is attributable to an adjustment of the purchased gas cost recovery by the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PUC) effective in December 2001. The average rate per million cubic feet for all customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was 28% lower than the same 2001 period. PECO's gas rates are subject to periodic adjustments by the PUC designed to recover or refund the difference between actual cost of purchased gas and the amount included in base rates and to recover or refund increases or decreases in certain state taxes not recovered in base rates. o Weather. The weather impact was neutral during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. Heating degree-days were consistent in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. o Volume. Exclusive of weather impacts, delivery volume was consistent for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. 52 Results of Operations - Generation Business Segment

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was positively impacted by increased revenue from retail affiliates, increased revenue from the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002 and reduced depreciation and interest expense, partially offset by depressed wholesale market prices for energy. Operating revenues, net of fuel and purchased power, decreased by $2 million. Lower wholesale market prices for energy reduced margins by $46 million, which were partially offset by increased revenue from affiliates of $43 million, revenue from the two generating plants acquired in April 2002, and lower fuel costs. Operating and maintenance expense increased by $6 million due to additional employee benefit costs of $9 million and operating costs for two generating plants acquired in April 2002 of $3 million. These additional expenses were partially offset by $7 million less in nuclear outage costs and other operating cost reductions including savings from Exelon's Cost Management Initiative. The decline in depreciation expense reflects extension of the estimated service lives of certain generating stations in the third quarter of 2001, partially offset by additional depreciation expense on plant placed in service after June 30, 2001, including the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002. Lower interest expense is due to capitalized interest and a lower interest rate on the spent nuclear fuel obligation. Additionally, revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 includes a net trading portfolio loss of $16 million compared to a net $6 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Generation Operating Statistics: 53 For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation's sales and the supply of these sales exclusive of the trading portfolio were as follows:

Generation's nuclear fleet, including AmerGen, performed at a capacity factor of 92.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 93.6% the same period in 2001. The lower capacity factor is primarily due to 72 planned outage days in the three months ended June 30, 2002 versus 31 days in the same period in 2001, including AmerGen. Generation's nuclear units' production costs including AmerGen for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $12.54 per MWh compared to $13.02 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The reduced unit production costs reflect additional generation due to power uprates, which more than offset the lower capacity factor, and lower production costs due to headcount reductions and Exelon's Cost Management Initiative in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Generation's average purchased power costs for wholesale operations were $39.96 per MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $45.27 per MWh for the same 54 period in 2001. The decrease in purchased power costs was primarily due to depressed wholesale power market prices. Results of Operations - Enterprises Business Segment

Enterprises' net income increased $88 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the sale of Enterprises' 49% interest in AT&T Wireless PCS of Philadelphia, LLC (AT&T Wireless) to a subsidiary of AT&T Wireless Services for $285 million in cash that resulted in an after-tax gain of $116 million and higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $8 million primarily as a result of the discontinuance of losses on AT&T Wireless. These increases were partially offset by $36 million of investment write-downs and $4 million of net asset write-downs. Operating revenues decreased $70 million, or 13%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable to lower gas sales of $12 million primarily resulting from lower gas prices, reduced retail energy sales of $20 million from Exelon Energy, Inc. (Exelon Energy) due to exiting the retail energy business in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland area (PJM market), lower revenues of $43 million from Exelon Services, Inc. (Exelon Services) from reduced volume of construction project revenues and lower revenues of $19 million from InfraSource, Inc. (InfraSource) from the continued decline in the telecommunications industry and reduced volume of construction services in that industry. These decreases were partially offset by higher electric revenues of $22 million primarily resulting from higher electric prices in Illinois for Exelon Energy. 55 Enterprises' operating and other expenses, net decreased $222 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to a pre-tax gain of $198 million recorded on the AT&T Wireless sale, lower gas costs of $18 million primarily resulting from lower gas prices, lower power costs of $20 million resulting from reduced operations of retail energy sales from Exelon Energy exiting the PJM market, reduced costs relating to lower construction project volume at Exelon Services of $33 million, reduced costs relating to lower volume of construction services in the telecommunications industry at InfraSource of $18 million, higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $8 million primarily as a result of the discontinuance of losses on AT&T Wireless as a result of the AT&T Wireless sale and lower interest expense of $6 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher electric purchased power costs in Illinois of $21 million for Exelon Energy, write-downs of communications investments of $27 million, write-downs of energy related investments of $9 million, a net write-down of other assets of $4 million in 2002 and an $18 million gain in 2001 from the sale of a communications investment. The effective income tax rate was 41.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 50.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, that was not deductible for income tax purposes and a true-up of income taxes relating to a merger between two Enterprises businesses in April 2001, partially offset by the effect of the AT&T Wireless sale. Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Net Income and Earnings Per Share Exelon's income before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles increased $20 million, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per common share on the same basis increased $0.06 per share, or 3%. The increase in income before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles reflects higher earnings due to the sale of AT&T Wireless, warmer summer weather, and the discontinuation of goodwill amortization required by the adoption of SFAS No. 142, partially offset by a decrease in retail sales due to mild winter weather, lower wholesale energy prices, increased nuclear refueling outage costs, employee severance costs and certain other factors affecting net income, which are discussed in the remainder of the results of operations section. Net income included net pretax charges of $10 million for severance costs, primarily related to executive severance. Net income decreased $222 million, or 31%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per common share decreased $0.69 per share, or 31%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes a $230 million charge for the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, reflecting goodwill impairment upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 includes $12 million of income for the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). See Note 2 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the adoption of SFAS No. 133. 56 The analysis below presents the operating results for each of Exelon's business segments for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Energy Delivery's gross margin (revenue net of purchased power and fuel) declined $79 million, $26 million of which was attributable primarily to warmer winter weather, partially offset by warmer summer weather in the ComEd service territory during the second quarter of 2002, which reduced retail electric and gas volumes, and a reduction in wholesale sales volumes. Flat operating and maintenance expense reflects increased pension and postretirement benefit costs and increased corporate allocations, including a portion of executive severance charges, and an increase in the provision for injuries and damages offset by decreased system 57 repair and storm damage costs, a decrease in the provision for bad debt expense, and a decrease in the provision for obsolete inventory. Energy Delivery's depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $46 million reflecting $64 million for the discontinuation of goodwill amortization due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002, partially offset by $17 million of higher regulatory asset amortization. Lower interest expense reflects reductions in debt outstanding and lower interest rates due to debt refinancing. The reduction in other - net, primarily reflects lower intercompany interest income reflecting lower interest rates. Energy Delivery's effective income tax rate was 37.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 42.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, which was not deductible for income tax purposes, and a reduction in state income taxes. 58 Energy Delivery Operating Statistics and Revenue Detail Energy Delivery's electric sales statistics and revenue detail are as follows:

The changes in electric retail revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001 are attributable to the following:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (15) Customer Choice 87 Weather (31) Other Effects 26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Retail Revenue $ 67 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Rate Changes. The decrease in revenues attributable to rate changes reflects the 5% ComEd residential rate reduction, effective October 1, 2001, required by the Illinois restructuring legislation and the timing of a $60 million PECO rate reduction effective January 1, 2001 60 offset by $26 million due to an increase in PECO's gross receipts tax rate and the expiration of a 6% reduction in PECO's rates during the first quarter of 2001. o Customer Choice. The favorable customer choice effect is attributable to increased revenues of $165 million from customers in Pennsylvania selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier, partially offset by a decrease in revenues of $78 million from customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from an ARES or the PPO, under which customers can purchase power from ComEd at a market-based rate. ComEd and PECO continue to collect delivery charges from these customers. o Weather. The weather impact was unfavorable compared to the prior year as a result of warmer winter weather in ComEd and PECO service territories partially offset by warmer summer weather in the ComEd service territory during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. o Other Effects. Other items decreasing revenues were primarily related to a net $58 million favorable volume variance other than weather, primarily due to the impact of a strong housing construction market in Chicago, partially offset by the payment of $14 million to Generation related to nuclear decommissioning cost recovery under an agreement effective September 2001 which reduced PECO's revenue compared to the prior year, an $11 million settlement of CTCs by a large PECO customer in 2001 and the impact of a slower economy on large commercial and industrial customers. The reduction in wholesale revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 was due primarily to a decrease in off-system sales due to the expiration of wholesale contracts that were offered by ComEd from June 2000 to May 2001 to support the open access program in Illinois, and a 2001 reversal of reserve for revenue refunds related to certain of ComEd's municipal customers as a result of a favorable FERC ruling.

The changes in gas revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (63) Weather (30) Volume (22) Other 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas Revenue $ (114) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61 o Rate Changes. The unfavorable variance in rates is attributable to an adjustment of the purchased gas cost recovery by the PUC effective in December 2001. The average rate per million cubic feet for all customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was 24% lower than the same 2001 period. o Weather. The unfavorable weather impact is attributable to warmer winter weather during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. Heating degree-days decreased 15% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. o Volume. Exclusive of weather impacts, lower delivery volume affected revenue by $22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. Total deliveries to retail customers decreased 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period, primarily as a result of slower economic conditions in 2002 offset by increased customer growth.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was adversely impacted by a lower margin on wholesale energy sales due to depressed market prices for energy, a reduced supply of low-cost nuclear generation, and increased operating and maintenance expense partially offset by an increase in revenue from affiliates and lower depreciation and interest expense. Operating 62 revenues, net of fuel and purchased power, decreased by $178 million. Lower wholesale market prices for energy reduced margins by $184 million, which was partially offset by increased revenues from affiliates of $26 million and lower fuel costs. The amount of low-cost nuclear generation available for sale was reduced due to an increased number of nuclear generating station refueling outages in the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. Operating and maintenance expense increased by $35 million, primarily due to $55 million of costs incurred for the additional refueling outages and the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002. These additional expenses were partially offset by other operating cost reductions, including $10 million related to headcount reductions, a $10 million reduction in Generation's severance accrual and $4 million in savings related to Exelon's Cost Management Initiative. The decline in depreciation expense reflects extension of the estimated service lives of generating stations in the third quarter of 2001, partially offset by additional depreciation expense on plant placed in service after June 30, 2001, including the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002. Lower interest expense is due to capitalized interest and a lower interest rate on the spent nuclear fuel obligation. Additionally, trading activities were initiated in April 2001. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes a net trading portfolio loss of $16 million compared to a net $6 million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Generation Operating Statistics: For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation's sales and the supply of these sales, excluding the trading portfolio, were as follows:

Generation's nuclear fleet, including AmerGen, performed at a capacity factor of 91.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 96.2% the same period in 2001. Generation's nuclear units' production costs, including AmerGen, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $13.38 per MWh compared to $12.34 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The lower capacity factor and increased unit production costs are primarily due to 153 days of planned outage time in the six months ended June 30, 2002 versus 31 days in the same period in 2001. Generation's average purchased power costs for wholesale operations were $36.76 per MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $41.81 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The decrease in purchased power costs was primarily due to depressed wholesale power market prices. 64 Results of Operations - Enterprises Business Segment

Enterprises' net income increased $85 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, excluding the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the AT&T Wireless sale that resulted in an after-tax gain of $116 million and higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $9 million primarily as a result of the discontinuation of losses on AT&T Wireless as a result of the AT&T Wireless sale. These increases were partially offset by $40 million of investment write-downs and $4 million of net asset write-downs. Enterprises' net loss increased $158 million after reflecting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which no longer allows amortization of goodwill but requires testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. The impairment booked during the first quarter, as a result of transitional impairment testing, was $243 million net of income taxes and minority interest. Operating revenues decreased $247 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease in operating revenues is attributable to lower gas sales of $116 million primarily resulting from lower gas prices, reduced retail energy sales of 65 $91 million from Exelon Energy exiting the PJM market, lower revenues of $56 million from Exelon Services from reduced volume of construction projects and lower revenues of $29 million from InfraSource from the continued decline in the telecommunications industry and reduced volume of construction services in that industry. These decreases were partially offset by higher electric revenues of $45 million primarily resulting from higher electric prices in Illinois for Exelon Energy. Enterprises' operating and other expenses, net decreased $392 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to a pre-tax gain of $198 million recorded on the AT&T Wireless sale, lower gas costs of $107 million primarily resulting from lower gas prices, lower purchased power costs of $114 million resulting from reduced operations of retail energy sales from Exelon Energy exiting the PJM market, reduced costs relating to lower construction project volume at Exelon Services of $45 million, reduced costs relating to lower volume of construction services in the telecommunications industry at InfraSource of $23 million, lower interest expense of $14 million, and higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $9 million primarily as a result of the discontinuance of losses on AT&T Wireless as a result of the AT&T Wireless sale. These decreases were partially offset by higher electric purchased power costs in Illinois of $42 million for Exelon Energy, write-downs of communications investments of $29 million, write-downs of energy related investments of $11 million, a net write-down of other assets of $4 million in 2002 and a $28 million gain in 2001 from the sales of communications investments. The effective income tax rate was 42.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the AT&T Wireless sale offset by the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, that was not deductible for income tax purposes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Exelon's businesses are capital intensive and require considerable capital resources. Exelon's capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financings including the issuance of commercial paper. Exelon's access to external financing at reasonable terms is dependent on the credit ratings of Exelon and its subsidiaries and the general business condition of Exelon and the utility industry. Capital resources are used primarily to fund Exelon's capital requirements, including construction, investments in new and existing ventures, repayments of maturing debt and preferred securities of subsidiaries and payment of common stock dividends. Any potential future acquisitions could require external financing, including the issuance by Exelon of common stock. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1.6 billion compared to $2.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Approximately 70% of 2002 cash flows provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were provided by Energy Delivery and approximately 30% was provided by Generation. Enterprises' cash 66 flows from operations were immaterial to Exelon for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Energy Delivery's cash flows from operating activities primarily result from sales of electricity and gas to a stable and diverse base of retail customers at fixed prices and are weighted toward the third quarter. Energy Delivery's future cash flows will depend upon the ability to achieve cost savings in operations, and the impact of the economy, weather and customer choice on its revenues. Generation's cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy to wholesale customers, including Energy Delivery and Enterprises. Generation's future cash flow from operating activities will depend upon future demand and market prices for energy and the ability to continue to produce and supply power at competitive costs. Although the amounts may vary from period to period as a result of the uncertainties inherent in business, Exelon expects that Energy Delivery and Generation will continue to provide a reliable and steady source of internal cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1.3 billion, compared to $998 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the $443 million acquisition of two generating plants from TXU Corp. (TXU) and increased capital expenditures partially offset by $285 million of proceeds from the AT&T Wireless sale. Capital expenditures other than the TXU acquisition, by business segment for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30, -------------------------- 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Energy Delivery $ 495 $ 581 Generation 475 301 Enterprises 28 37 Corporate and Other 30 18 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Capital Expenditures $ 1,028 $ 937 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy Delivery's capital expenditures for 2002 reflect the continuation of efforts to further improve the reliability of its distribution system in the Chicago region. Energy Delivery's investing activities were funded primarily through operating activities. Generation's capital expenditures for 2002 are for additions to and upgrades of existing facilities (including nuclear refueling outages), nuclear fuel, and increases in capacity at existing plants. Generation's investing activities were funded from operating activities, borrowings from Exelon and the use of available cash. Generation closed the purchase of the two natural-gas and oil-fired generating plants from TXU on April 25, 2002. The $443 million purchase was funded with available cash and Exelon commercial paper. Exelon expects to repay the commercial paper utilizing Generation's internal cash flows. Capital expenditures have increased for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 2001 due to higher nuclear fuel expenditures, growth and an increase in the number of planned 67 refueling outages, during which significant work is performed for additions to or upgrades of existing facilities. In February 2002, Generation entered into an agreement to loan AmerGen up to $75 million at an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of June 30, 2002, AmerGen had borrowed $75 million under this agreement. In July 2002, the loan agreement and the loan were increased to $100 million and the maturity date was extended to July 1, 2003. Enterprises' capital expenditures for 2002 are primarily for additions to or upgrades of existing facilities. On April 1, 2002, Exelon Enterprises closed on the sale of its 49% interest in AT&T Wireless for $285 million in cash. Proceeds from the transaction will be used for Exelon's general corporate purposes. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash flows used in financing activities were $142 million in the second quarter 2002, primarily attributable to debt service and payments of dividends on common stock of $280 million. Debt financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 were as follows: o ComEd issued $600 million in First Mortgage Bonds, issued $100 million of Illinois Development Finance Authority floating-rate Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, redeemed $100 million of 7.25% Illinois Development Finance Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, redeemed $200 million in First Mortgage Bonds with available cash and retired $170 million of transitional trust notes, o PECO borrowed an additional $74 million of commercial paper and made principal payments of $207 million on long-term debt with available cash. Credit Issues Exelon meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper by Exelon, ComEd and PECO. Exelon, along with ComEd, PECO and Generation, entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of banks. This credit facility is used principally to support the commercial paper programs of Exelon, ComEd and PECO. At June 30, 2002, Exelon's capital structure consisted of 60% of long-term debt, 35% common stock, 2% notes payable and 3% preferred securities of subsidiaries. Total debt included $6.6 billion of securitization debt constituting obligations of certain consolidated special purpose entities, representing 28% of capitalization. At June 30, 2002, Exelon had outstanding $470 million of notes payable consisting principally of commercial paper. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the average interest rate on notes payable was approximately 1.96%. Certain of the credit agreements to which Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are a party require each of them to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio of 65% or less (excluding securitization debt and for PECO, excluding the receivable from parent recorded in PECO's shareholders' equity). At June 30, 2002, the debt to total capitalization ratios on that basis for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation were 48%, 46%, 38% and 32%, respectively. 68 Exelon and its subsidiaries' access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and their financing costs in those markets are dependent on their respective securities ratings. None of Exelon's or its subsidiaries' borrowings is subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities ratings although such a downgrading could increase interest charges under Exelon's bank credit facility. Exelon and its subsidiaries from time to time enter into interest rate swap and other derivatives that require the maintenance of investment grade ratings. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings would allow the counterparty to terminate the derivative and settle the transaction on a net present value basis. Under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) and the Federal Power Act, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation can pay dividends only from retained, undistributed or current earnings. However, an SEC order granted permission to Exelon and ComEd to pay up to $500 million in dividends out of additional paid-in capital, provided that Exelon agreed not to pay dividends out of paid-in capital after December 31, 2002 if its common equity is less than 30% of its total capitalization. At June 30, 2002, Exelon had retained earnings of $1.4 billion, which includes ComEd retained earnings of $382 million, PECO retained earnings of $277 million and Generation retained earnings of $686 million. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments represent commitments triggered by future events. Exelon's contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2002 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of business, from the amounts set forth in the December 31, 2001 Form 10-K except for the following: o ComEd issued $600 million of First Mortgage Bonds due March 15, 2012, issued $100 million of Illinois Development Finance Authority floating-rate Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, series 2002, redeemed $100 million of 7.25% Illinois Development Finance Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, series 1991, redeemed $200 million of First Mortgage Bonds due February 1, 2022, and retired $170 million of transitional trust notes. o Guarantees increased $300 million primarily related to an increase in the amount of surety bonds required by Enterprises' insurance policies. o Insured long-term debt increased $100 million related to ComEd's issuance of $100 million in variable rate debt that has been credit enhanced through the purchase of insurance coverage. o On April 25, 2002 Generation closed the purchase of two generating plants from TXU. The $443 million purchase was funded primarily with commercial paper issued by Exelon. o On June 26, 2002 Generation agreed to purchase Sithe New England Holdings, LLC (Sithe New England) for $543 million, plus the assumption of non-recourse debt estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion at the date of purchase. The purchase is estimated to close in November 2002, subject to regulatory approval. See Note 3 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Sithe New England acquisition. o Purchase obligations increased by $1.2 billion, primarily due to an increase of $2.0 billion in power only purchases partially offset by a $0.8 billion decrease in net capacity purchase commitments. The increase in power only purchases is primarily due to Generation's 69 agreement to purchase all the energy from Unit No. 1 at Three Mile Island after December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2014. This decrease in net capacity purchase commitments is due primarily to the decision not to exercise the option to purchase 2,684 MWs of capacity from Midwest Generation in 2002 and 2003 as well as the increase in capacity sales under the TXU tolling agreement. Off Balance Sheet Obligations Generation owns 49.9% of the outstanding common stock of Sithe and has an option, beginning on December 18, 2002, to purchase the remaining common stock outstanding (Remaining Interest) in Sithe. The purchase option expires on December 18, 2005. In addition, the Sithe stockholders who own in the aggregate the Remaining Interest have the right to require Generation to purchase the Remaining Interest (Put Rights) during the same period in which Generation can exercise its purchase option. At the end of this exercise period, if Generation has not exercised its purchase option and the other Sithe stockholders have not exercised their Put Rights, Generation will have an additional one-time option to purchase shares from the other stockholders in Sithe to bring Generation's ownership in Sithe from the current 49.9% to 50.1% of Sithe's total outstanding common stock. If Generation exercises its option to acquire the Remaining Interest, or if all the other Sithe stockholders exercise their Put Rights, the purchase price for 70% of the Remaining Interest will be set at fair market value subject to a floor of $430 million and a ceiling of $650 million. The balance of the Remaining Interest will be valued at fair market value subject to a floor of $141 million and a ceiling of $330 million. In either instance, the floor and ceiling will accrue interest from the beginning of the exercise period. If Generation increases its ownership in Sithe to 50.1% or more, Sithe will become a consolidated subsidiary and Exelon's financial results will include Sithe's financial results from the date of purchase. At June 30, 2002, Sithe had total assets of $4.1 billion and total debt of $2.1 billion, including $1.6 billion of non-recourse project debt of which $1.0 billion is associated with Sithe New England, $0.4 billion of subordinated debt, $49 million of short-term debt, $33 million of capital leases, and excluding $411 million of non-recourse project debt associated with Sithe's equity investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Sithe had revenues of $0.6 billion. As of June 30, 2002, Generation had a $725 million equity investment in Sithe. On June 26, 2002, Generation agreed to purchase Sithe New England for $543 million plus the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of non-recourse project debt, which is expected to be outstanding at the time of the closing of the purchase. Generation expects to close the purchase of Sithe New England in November 2002, subject to regulatory approval. Additionally, the debt on the books of Exelon's unconsolidated equity investments and joint ventures is not reflected on Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total investee debt, at June 30, 2002, including the debt of Sithe described in the preceding paragraph, is currently estimated to be $2.3 billion ($1.2 billion based on Exelon's ownership interest of the investments). 70 Generation and British Energy plc (British Energy), Generation's joint venture partner in AmerGen, have each agreed to provide up to $100 million to AmerGen at any time for operating expenses. Other Factors Exelon's costs of providing pension and postretirement benefit plans are dependent upon a number of factors, such as the rates of return on plan assets, discount rate, and the rate of increase in health care costs. The market value of plan assets has been affected by sharp declines in the equity market since the third quarter of 2000. As a result, at December 31, 2002, Exelon could be required to recognize an additional minimum liability as prescribed by FASB SFAS No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" and FASB SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Postretirement Benefits." The liability would be recorded as a reduction to common equity, and the equity would be restored to the balance sheet in future periods when the fair value of plan assets exceeds the accumulated benefit obligations. The amount of reduction to common equity recorded, if any, will depend upon the asset returns experienced in 2002, but could be material. The recording of this reduction would not affect net income or cash flow in 2002; however, pension cost and cash funding requirements could increase in future years without a substantial recovery in the equity markets. Generation is a counterparty to Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy) in various energy transactions. In early July 2002, the credit ratings of Dynegy were downgraded by two credit rating agencies to below investment grade. As of July 29, 2002, Generation had a net receivable from Dynegy of less than $5 million, and consistent with the terms of the existing credit arrangement, has requested collateral in support of this receivable. Generation also has credit risk associated with Dynegy through Generation's equity investment in Sithe. Sithe is a 60% owner of the Independence generating station, a 1,040 MW gas-fired qualified facility that has an energy only long-term tolling arrangement with Dynegy, with a related financial swap arrangement. As of June 30, 2002, Sithe had recognized an asset on its balance sheet related to the fair value of the financial swap agreement with Dynegy that is marked-to-market under the terms of SFAS No. 133. If Dynegy is unable to fulfill the terms of this agreement, Sithe would be required to write-off the fair value asset, which Generation estimates would result in an approximate $15 million reduction in its equity earnings from Sithe, based on Generation's current 49.9% investment ownership in Sithe. Additionally, the future economic value of Sithe's investment in the Independence Station and AmerGen's purchased power arrangement with Illinois Power, a subsidiary of Dynegy, could be impacted by events related to Dynergy's financial condition. 71 COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY GENERAL ComEd operates in a single business segment, Energy Delivery, and its operations consist of its retail electricity distribution and transmission business in northern Illinois.

The changes in electric retail revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, are attributable to the following:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weather $ 40 Rate Changes (27) Customer Choice (39) Other Effects 12 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Retail Revenue $ (14) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Weather. The demand for electricity is impacted by weather conditions. Very warm weather in summer months and very cold weather in other months is referred to as "favorable weather conditions", because these weather conditions result in increased sales of electricity. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. The weather impact for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was favorable compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 as a result of warmer summer weather in 74 the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001. Cooling degree-days increased 29% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. o Rate Changes. The decrease attributable to rate changes reflects a 5% residential rate reduction, effective October 1, 2001, required by the Illinois restructuring legislation. o Customer Choice. All ComEd customers have the choice to purchase energy from other suppliers. This choice generally does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to energy supplied by ComEd. On May 1, 2002, all ComEd residential customers were eligible to choose their supplier of electricity, however, as of June 30, 2002, no alternative electric supplier has sought approval from the ICC and no electric utilities have chosen to enter the ComEd residential market for the supply of electricity. The decrease in revenues reflects customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from an ARES or the PPO. As of June 30, 2002, approximately 22,600 retail customers had elected to purchase energy from an ARES or the ComEd PPO, an increase from 14,000 customers at June 30, 2001. The MWhs delivered to such customers increased from approximately 4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, or approximately a 20% increase from the previous year. o Other Effects. A strong housing construction market in Chicago contributed to residential and small commercial and industrial customer volume growth, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a slower economy on large commercial and industrial customers. On July 19, 2002, ComEd filed a request with the ICC to revise the Provider of Last Resort (POLR) obligation in Illinois. ComEd is seeking permission from the ICC to limit the availability by June 2006 of Rate 6L for 370 of ComEd's largest energy customers with demands of at least three MWs, totaling approximately 2,500 MWs. Rate 6L is a bundled fixed rate offered to large customers including heavy industrial plants, large office buildings, government facilities and a variety of other businesses. The ICC has 120 days to act on the filing or it will be deemed approved. The reduction in wholesale revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 was due primarily to a $10 million decrease in off-system sales due to the expiration of wholesale contracts that were offered by ComEd from June 2000 to May 2001 to support the open access program in Illinois and a $15 million reversal of reserve in 2001 for revenue refunds related to certain of ComEd's municipal customers as a result of a favorable FERC ruling. Purchased Power Expense Purchased power expense decreased $33 million, or 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in purchased power expense was primarily attributable to a $29 million decrease as a result of customers choosing to purchase energy from an ARES, an $8 million decrease due to the expiration of the wholesale contracts offered by ComEd to support the open access program in Illinois, a $5 million decrease related to a reduction in the average purchase price of energy and a $5 million decrease due to the effects of the slower economy on the large commercial and industrial customers partially offset by a $15 million increase due to favorable weather conditions. 75 Operating and Maintenance Expense Operating and maintenance (O&M) expense decreased $28 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in O&M expense was primarily attributable to an $11 million decrease in bad debt expense due to a revised estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts, a $4 million decrease in corporate allocations, and a $9 million decrease in repairs of distribution systems damaged by others and storm restoration. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $35 million, or 21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is primarily due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002 upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 partially offset by increased depreciation based on higher property, plant and equipment balances. As required by the Illinois Restructuring Act, a notification filing was made with the ICC to reflect lower depreciation rates effective July 1, 2002. No ICC approval is required for the new rates to take effect. The anticipated annual reduction in depreciation expense is estimated to be approximately $100 million. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income remained consistent from period to period. Interest Charges Interest charges consist of interest expense and distributions on Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trusts. Interest charges decreased $16 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in interest charges was primarily attributable to the impact of lower interest rates for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, the early retirement of the $196 million of First Mortgage Bonds in November of 2001 and the retirement of $340 million in transitional trust notes since June 2001. Other Income and Deductions Other income and deductions, excluding interest charges, decreased $8 million or 36%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to $2 million in intercompany interest income relating to the $400 million receivable from PECO which was repaid during second quarter 2001 and a $7 million reduction in intercompany interest income from Unicom Investment Inc., reflecting lower interest rates. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was 39.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 45.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, which was not deductible for income tax purposes. 76 Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Significant Operating Trends - ComEd

Net Income Net income increased $31 million, or 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net income was impacted by a $35 million decrease in income taxes due to a lower effective income tax rate offset in part by a decrease in operating income. 77 Operating Revenues ComEd's electric sales statistics are as follows:

The changes in electric retail revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, are attributable to the following:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weather $ (13) Rate Changes (54) Customer Choice (78) Other Effects 38 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retail Revenue $ (107) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Weather. The weather impact for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was unfavorable compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 as a result of warmer winter weather partially offset by warmer summer weather in 2002 compared to 2001. Heating degree-days decreased 6% and were partially offset by a 29% increase in cooling degree-days in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 o Rate Changes. The decrease attributable to rate changes reflects a 5% residential rate reduction, effective October 1, 2001, required by the Illinois restructuring legislation. 79 o Customer Choice. The decrease in revenues reflects customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from an ARES or the PPO. As of June 30, 2002, approximately 22,600 retail customers had elected to purchase energy from an ARES or the ComEd PPO, an increase from 14,000 customers at June 30, 2001. The MWhs delivered to such customers increased from approximately 8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, approximately a 20% increase from the previous year. o Other Effects. A strong housing construction market in Chicago contributed to residential and small commercial and industrial customer volume growth, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a slower economy on large commercial and industrial customers. The reduction in wholesale revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 was due primarily to a $38 million decrease in off-system sales due to the expiration of wholesale contracts that were offered by ComEd from June 2000 to May 2001 to support the open access program in Illinois, a $15 million reversal of reserve for revenue refunds in 2001 related to certain of ComEd's municipal customers as a result of a favorable FERC ruling, and $20 million of other miscellaneous revenue. Purchased Power Expense Purchased power expense decreased $104 million, or 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in purchased power expense was primarily attributable to a $5 million decrease due to unfavorable weather conditions, a $62 million decrease as a result of customers choosing to purchase energy from an ARES, and a $34 million decrease due to the expiration of the wholesale contracts offered by ComEd to support the open access program in Illinois. Operating and Maintenance Expense O&M expense remained relatively consistent from period to period. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $66 million, or 20%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is primarily due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002 upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 partially offset by increased depreciation based on higher property plant and equipment balances. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income remained consistent from period to period. Interest Charges Interest charges decreased $32 million, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in interest charges was primarily attributable to the impact of lower interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, the early retirement of the $196 million of First Mortgage Bonds in November of 2001 and the retirement of $340 million in transitional trust notes since June 2001. 80 Other Income and Deductions Other income and deductions, excluding interest charges, decreased $30 million, or 51%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to $8 million in intercompany interest income relating to the $400 million receivable from PECO which was repaid during the second quarter of 2001, and a $22 million reduction in intercompany interest income from Unicom Investment Inc., reflecting lower interest rates. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was 39.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 45.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization as of January 1, 2002, which was not deductible for income tax purposes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ComEd's business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. ComEd's capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing including the issuance of commercial paper. ComEd's access to external financing at reasonable terms is dependent on its credit ratings and the general business condition of ComEd and the utility industry. Capital resources are used primarily to fund ComEd's capital requirements, including construction, repayments of maturing debt, and the payment of common stock dividends. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operations were $740 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $705 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash flows in 2002 was primarily attributable to a $107 million increase in other operating activities partially offset by a $67 million decrease in working capital. ComEd's future cash flows will depend upon the ability to achieve cost savings in operations, the impact of the economy, weather, and customer choice on its revenues. Although the amounts may vary from period to period as a result of uncertainties inherent in the business, ComEd expects to continue to provide a reliable and steady source of internal cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities were $352 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities in 2002 was primarily attributable to the paydown of the $400 million outstanding receivable with PECO in the second quarter of 2001 partially offset by an $87 million decrease in capital expenditures. ComEd's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were funded primarily through operating activities. ComEd estimated that it will spend approximately $781 million in total capital expenditures for 2002. Approximately two thirds of the budgeted 2002 expenditures are for continuing efforts to further improve the reliability of its transmission and distribution systems. The remaining one third is for capital additions to support new business and customer growth. ComEd anticipates that it will obtain financing, when necessary, through borrowings, the 81 issuance of preferred securities, or capital contributions from Exelon. ComEd's proposed capital expenditures and other investments are subject to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash flows used in financing activities were $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $322 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash flows used in financing activities were primarily attributable to debt service and payments of dividends to Exelon. ComEd's debt financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 reflected the issuance of $600 million in First Mortgage Bonds, the issuance of $100 million of 7.25% Illinois Development Finance Authority floating-rate Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, the retirement of $170 million of transitional trust notes, the early retirement of $200 million in First Mortgage Bonds with available cash, and the redemption of $100 million of Illinois Development Finance Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, ComEd's debt financing activities reflected the retirement of $170 million of transitional trust notes. ComEd paid a $235 million dividend to Exelon during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to a $148 million dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Credit Issues ComEd meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper, borrowings under bank credit facilities and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. ComEd, along with Exelon, PECO and Generation entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility on December 12, 2001 with a group of banks. ComEd has a $300 million sublimit under the credit facility and expects to use the credit facility principally to support its $300 million commercial paper program. This credit facility requires ComEd to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio of 65% or less (excluding transitional trust notes). At June 30, 2002, ComEd's debt to total capitalization ratio on that basis was 46%. At June 30, 2002, ComEd had no short-term borrowings. ComEd's access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and its financing costs in those markets are dependent on its securities ratings. None of ComEd's borrowings are subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities ratings although such a downgrading could increase interest charges under certain bank credit facilities. ComEd from time to time enters into interest rate swaps and other derivatives that require the maintenance of investment grade ratings. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings would allow the counterparty to terminate the derivative and settle the transaction on a net present value basis. At June 30, 2002, ComEd's capital structure, excluding the deduction from shareholders' equity of the $875 million receivable from Exelon, consisted of 52% long-term debt, 46% of common stock, and 2% of preferred securities of subsidiaries. Long-term debt included $2.1 billion of transitional trust notes constituting obligations of certain consolidated special purpose entities representing 16% of capitalization. 82 Under PUHCA and the Federal Power Act, ComEd can only pay dividends from retained or current earnings. However, the SEC has authorized ComEd to pay up to $500 million in dividends out of additional paid-in capital, provided ComEd may not pay dividends out of paid-in capital after December 31, 2002 if its common equity is less than 30% of its total capitalization (including transitional trust notes). At June 30, 2002, ComEd had retained earnings of $382 million. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments represent commitments triggered by future events. ComEd's contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2002 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of business, from the amounts as set forth in the December 31, 2001 Form 10-K except for the issuance of $600 million of First Mortgage Bonds due March 15, 2012, the issuance of $100 million of Illinois Development Finance Authority floating-rate Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2002, the redemption of $100 million of 7.25% Illinois Development Finance Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1991, the redemption of $200 million of First Mortgage Bonds due February 1, 2022, and the retirement of $170 million in transitional trust notes. 83 PECO ENERGY COMPANY GENERAL PECO operates in a single business segment, Energy Delivery, and its operations consist of its retail electricity distribution and transmission business in southeastern Pennsylvania and its natural gas distribution business in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia.

Net income on common stock increased $9 million, or 11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase was a result of higher additional volume, favorable rate adjustments and lower interest expense on debt partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization expense. 84 PECO's electric sales statistics are as follows:

85 The changes in electric retail revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Choice $ 85 Rate Changes 13 Weather 1 Other Effects 19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Retail Revenue $ 118 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Customer Choice. All PECO customers have choice to purchase energy from other suppliers. This choice generally does not impact kWh deliveries, but reduces revenue collected from customers because they are not obtaining generation supply from PECO. As of June 30, 2002, the customer load served by alternate suppliers was 991 MW or 12.8% as compared to 1,102 MW or 14.5% as of June 30, 2001. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the percent of PECO's total retail deliveries for which PECO was the electric supplier was 93.4% in 2002, an 18.3% increase as compared to 75.1% in 2001. As of June 30, 2002, the number of customers served by alternate suppliers was 308,866 or 20.2% as compared to June 30, 2001 of 400,972 or 26.4%. The increases in the customer load and the percentage of MWh served by PECO, and the decrease in the number of customers served by alternative suppliers primarily resulted from customers selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier. In February 2002, New Power Company (New Power) notified PECO of its intent to withdraw from providing Competitive Default Service (CDS) to approximately 180,000 residential customers. As a result of that withdrawal, those CDS customers were returned to PECO in the second quarter of 2002. Pursuant to a tariff filing approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), PECO will serve those returned customers at the discount energy rates on generation provided for under the original New Power CDS Agreement for the remaining term of that contract. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2002, New Power also advised PECO it planned to withdraw from serving all of its customers in Pennsylvania, including approximately 15,000 non-CDS PECO customers, and to return those customers to PECO in September. o Rate Changes. The increase in revenues attributable to rate changes primarily reflects a $13 million increase due to an increase in the gross receipts tax rate effective January 1, 2002. As permitted by the Pennsylvania Electric Competition Act, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has calculated a 2002 Revenue Neutral Reconciliation (RNR) adjustment to the gross receipts tax rate in order to neutralize the impact of electric restructuring on its tax revenues. The RNR adjustment increases the gross receipts tax rate, which will increase PECO's annual revenues and tax obligations by approximately $50 million in 2002. In January 2002, the PUC approved the adjustment to the gross receipts tax rate, which was implemented effective January 1, 2002. The RNR adjustment is under appeal. o Weather. The demand for electricity and gas services is impacted by weather conditions. Very warm weather in summer months and very cold weather in other months is referred to as "favorable weather conditions", because these weather conditions result in increased sales of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. 86 The weather impact was favorable compared to the prior year as a result of warmer summer weather. o Other Effects. Other items affecting revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 include: o Volume. Exclusive of weather impacts, higher delivery volume affected PECO's revenue by $24 million compared to the same 2001 period. o Other. The payment of $7 million to Generation related to nuclear decommissioning cost recovery under an agreement effective September 2001, which reduced PECO's revenue compared to the prior year. PECO's gas sales statistics for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period are as follows:
For the three months ended June 30, ----------------------------------- 2002 2001 Variance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deliveries in mmcf 14,286 13,781 505 Revenue $84 $ 112 $ (28) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes in gas revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
(in millions) Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (28) Weather -- Volume (1) Other 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas Revenue $ (28) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Rate Changes. The unfavorable variance in rates is attributable to an adjustment of the purchased gas cost recovery by the PUC effective in December 2001. The average rate per million cubic feet for all customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was 28% lower than the same 2001 period. PECO's gas rates are subject to periodic adjustments by the PUC designed to recover or refund the difference between actual cost of purchased gas and the amount included in base rates and to recover or refund increases or decreases in certain state taxes not recovered in base rates. o Weather. The weather impact was neutral during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. o Volume. Exclusive of weather impact, delivery volume was consistent for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. 87 Purchased Power and Fuel Expense Purchased power and fuel expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $64 million as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase in fuel and purchased power expense was primarily attributable to $73 million from customers in Pennsylvania selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier, $9 million primarily attributable to higher delivery volume and higher PJM ancillary charges of $8 million. These increases were partially offset by $28 million from lower gas prices. Operating and Maintenance Expense O&M expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $5 million, or 4%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase in O&M expense was primarily attributable to $5 million related to the deployment of automated meter reading technology and $3 million related to an increased allocation of corporate expense. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $10 million, or 10%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase was primarily attributable to $9 million of additional amortization of PECO's CTC and an increase of $1 million related to depreciation expense associated with additional plant in service. The additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance with PECO's original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition Act. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $22 million, or 54%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase was primarily attributable to additional gross receipts tax related to additional revenues and an increase in the gross receipts tax rate on electric revenue effective January 1, 2002. Interest Charges Interest charges consist of interest expense and distributions on Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of a Partnership (COMRPS). Interest charges decreased $27 million, or 21% in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest expense on long-term debt of $22 million as a result of principal payments and lower interest rates and interest expense related to a loan from an affiliate in 2001 of $2 million. Other Income and Deductions Other income and deductions excluding interest charges remained consistent in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was substantially unchanged at 34.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 34.1% for the same 2001 period. 88 Preferred Stock Dividends Preferred stock dividends for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were consistent as compared to the same 2001 period. Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net income on common stock decreased $25 million, or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. The decrease was a result of lower margins due to the unplanned return of certain residential, commercial and industrial customers, milder weather, increased depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by favorable rate adjustments. 89 PECO's electric sales statistics are as follows:
For the six months ended June 30, --------------------------------- Deliveries - (in GWh) 2002 2001 % Change ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bundled Deliveries (1) Residential 4,171 4,132 0.9% Small Commercial & Industrial 3,638 2,313 57.3% Large Commercial & Industrial 7,278 5,703 27.6% Public Authorities & Electric Railroads 393 374 5.1% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15,480 12,522 23.6% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unbundled Deliveries (2) Residential 1,348 1,375 (2.0%) Small Commercial & Industrial 99 1,416 (93.0%) Large Commercial & Industrial 116 1,921 (94.0%) Public Authorities & Electric Railroads -- 7 (100.0%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1,563 4,719 (66.9%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Retail Deliveries 17,043 17,241 (1.1%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Bundled service reflects deliveries to customers taking electric service under tariffed rates, which include the cost of energy, the delivery cost of the transmission and distribution of the energy and a CTC charge.

90 The changes in electric retail revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Choice $ 165 Rate Changes 39 Weather (18) Other Effects (12) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Retail Revenue $ 174 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Customer Choice. As of June 30, 2002, the customer load served by alternate suppliers was 991 MW or 12.8% as compared to 1,102 MW or 14.5% as of June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the percent of PECO's total retail deliveries for which PECO was the electric supplier was 90.9% in 2002, an 18.2% increase as compared to 72.7% in 2001. As of June 30, 2002, the number of customers served by alternate suppliers was 308,866 or 26.4% as compared to June 30, 2001 of 400,972 or 26.4%. This increase in the customer load and the percentage of MWh served by PECO, and the decrease in the number of customers served by alternative suppliers primarily resulted from customers selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier. o Rate Changes. The increase in revenues attributable to rate changes primarily reflects the expiration of a 6% reduction in PECO's electric rates during the first quarter of 2001 and a $26 million increase as a result of the increase in the gross receipts tax rate effective January 1, 2002. These increases are partially offset by the timing of a $60 million rate reduction in effect for 2001 and 2002. o Weather. The weather impact was unfavorable compared to the prior year primarily as a result of warmer winter weather. Heating degree-days decreased 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. o Other Effects. Other items affecting revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2002 include: o Volume. Exclusive of weather impacts, higher delivery volume increased PECO's revenue by $7 million compared to the same 2001 period. o Other. The payment of $14 million to Generation related to nuclear decommissioning cost recovery under an agreement effective September 2001 which reduced PECO's revenue compared to the prior year and an $11 million settlement of CTCs by a large customer in the first quarter of 2001. PECO's gas sales statistics for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period are as follows:
2002 2001 Variance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deliveries in mmcf 45,643 48,011 (2,368) Revenue $293 $407 $ (114) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
91 The changes in gas revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same 2001 period, are as follows:
Variance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate Changes $ (63) Weather (30) Volume (22) Other 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas Revenue $ (114) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Rate Changes. The unfavorable variance in rates is attributable to an adjustment of the purchased gas cost recovery by the PUC effective in December 2001. The average rate per million cubic feet for all customers for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 24% lower than the same 2001 period. o Weather. The unfavorable weather impact is attributable to warmer winter weather during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. Heating degree-days decreased 15% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. o Volume. Exclusive of weather impacts, lower delivery volume affected revenue by $22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. Total deliveries to retail customers decreased 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period, primarily as a result of slower economic conditions in 2002 offset by increased customer growth. Purchased Power and Fuel Expense Purchased power and fuel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $62 million as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase in fuel and purchased power expense was primarily attributable to $150 million from customers in Pennsylvania selecting or returning to PECO as their electric generation supplier and higher PJM ancillary charges of $17 million. These increases were partially offset by $63 million from lower gas prices, $30 million as a result of unfavorable weather conditions and $22 million primarily attributable to lower delivery volume primarily related to gas. Operating and Maintenance Expense O&M expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $9 million, or 4%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase in O&M expense was primarily attributable to $12 million related to the deployment of automated meter reading technology and $9 million related to an increased allocation of corporate expense. These increases were partially offset by $6 million of incremental storm costs in 2001 and $4 million associated with a write-off of excess and obsolete inventory in 2001. 92 Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $21 million, or 11%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase was primarily attributable to $17 million of additional amortization of PECO's CTC and an increase of $4 million related to depreciation expense associated with additional plant in service. The additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance with PECO's original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition Act. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $38 million, or 45%, as compared to the same 2001 period. The increase was primarily attributable to additional gross receipts tax related to additional revenues and an increase in the gross receipts tax rate on electric revenue effective January 1, 2002. Interest Charges Interest charges decreased $40 million, or 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest expense on long-term debt of $32 million as a result of principal payments, lower interest rates and an $8 million reduction in interest expense due to lower interest rates on a loan from ComEd in 2001. Other Income and Deductions Other income and deductions excluding interest charges decreased $16 million, or 89% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same 2001 period. The decrease in other income and deductions was primarily attributable to lower interest income of $6 million in 2002. The decrease was also attributable to a gain on the settlement of an interest rate swap of $6 million and the favorable settlement of a customer contract of $3 million, both of which occurred in 2001. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 35.1% for the same 2001 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a reduction in state income taxes. Preferred Stock Dividends Preferred stock dividends for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were consistent as compared to the same 2001 period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES PECO's business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. PECO's capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing including the issuance of commercial paper. PECO's access to external financing at reasonable terms is dependent on its credit ratings and the general business condition of PECO and the utility industry. Capital resources are used primarily to fund construction, repayments of maturing debt and preferred securities and 93 payment of common stock dividends to Exelon. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $468 million compared to $427 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash flows was primarily attributable to lower payments related to accounts payable of $46 million, higher collection of deferred energy costs as a result of a change in gas rates of $42 million and lower prepaid taxes of $29 million. These increases were partially offset by changes in intercompany receivables and payables of $41 million and deferred income taxes of $32 million. PECO's cash flow from operating activities primarily results from sales of electricity and gas to a stable and diverse base of retail customers at fixed prices. PECO's future cash flows will depend upon the ability to achieve cost savings in operations, and the impact of the economy, weather and customer choice on its revenues. Although the amounts may vary from period to period as a result of the uncertainties inherent in its business, PECO expects that it will continue to provide a reliable and steady source of internal cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $122 million compared to $87 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in other investing activities. PECO's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 were funded primarily by operating activities. PECO's projected capital expenditures for 2002 are $284 million. Approximately one half of the budgeted 2002 expenditures are for capital additions to support customer and load growth and the remainder for additions and upgrades to existing facilities. PECO anticipates that it will obtain financing, when necessary, through borrowings, the issuance of preferred securities, or capital contributions from Exelon. PECO's proposed capital expenditures and other investments are subject to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $306 million compared to $332 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash flows used in financing activities are primarily attributable to debt service and payment of dividends to Exelon. The change in cash flows used in financing activities is primarily attributable to an increase in commercial paper borrowings of $196 million partially offset by additional dividends paid to Exelon of $69 million, the contribution from Exelon in 2001 of $53 million, additional debt service of $34 million, and proceeds from the settlement of interest rate swap agreements in 2001 of $31 million. Credit Issues At June 30, 2002, PECO had outstanding $175 million of notes payable consisting principally of commercial paper. Certain of the credit agreements to which PECO is a party require PECO to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio of 65% or less, excluding 94 securitization debt and excluding the receivable from parent recorded in PECO's shareholders' equity. At June 30, 2002, the debt to total capitalization ratios on that basis for PECO was 38%. PECO's access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and its financing costs in those markets are dependent on its securities ratings. None of PECO's borrowings are subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities ratings although such a downgrading could increase interest charges under PECO's bank credit facility. PECO from time to time enters into interest rate swaps that require the maintenance of investment grade ratings. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings would allow the counterparty to terminate the derivative and settle the transaction on a net present value basis. At June 30, 2002, PECO's capital structure, excluding the deduction from shareholders' equity of the $1.8 billion receivable from Exelon, consisted of 26% common equity, 2% notes payable, 3% preferred stock and COMRPS (which comprised 2% of PECO's total capitalization structure), and 69% long-term debt including transition bonds issued by PECO Energy Transition Trust (PETT). Long-term debt included $4.4 billion of transition bonds representing 52% of capitalization. Under PUHCA and the Federal Power Act, PECO can pay dividends only from retained or current earnings. At June 30, 2002, PECO had retained earnings of $277 million. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments represent commitments triggered by future events. PECO's contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2002 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of business, from the amounts as set forth in the December 31, 2001 Form 10-K except for an $85 million increase in the amount of surety bonds required by PECO's insurance policies. Approximately one-fourth of the surety bonds expire in the remainder of 2002 and the other three-fourths expire in the two-year period ending December 2004. 95 EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC GENERAL The operations of Generation consist of electric generating facilities, energy marketing operations and equity interests in Sithe and AmerGen. Generation early adopted the provision of EITF 02-3 that requires revenues and energy costs related to energy trading contracts to be presented on a net basis in the income statement. For comparative purposes, energy costs related to energy trading have been reclassified in prior periods to revenue to conform with the net basis of presentation required by EITF 02-3.

Net Income Generation's net income increased by $13 million, or 18%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year. Net income was positively impacted by increased revenue from affiliates, increased revenue from the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002 and reduced depreciation and interest expense, partially offset by depressed wholesale market prices for energy. Operating Revenues, Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Operating revenues, net of purchased power and fuel were $630 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $632 million for the same period in 2001. The $2 million, or 0.3%, decrease was due to lower market prices for energy, which reduced margins by $46 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. 96 This decrease was partially offset by a $43 million increase in revenue from affiliates, revenue from two generating plants acquired in April 2002, and lower fuel costs. The average wholesale market prices were $7.00, or 18.6%, lower in 2002 compared to 2001. Generation's average purchased power costs for wholesale operations were $39.96 per MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $45.27 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The decrease in purchase power costs resulted from the decrease in wholesale power market prices. Additionally, revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 includes a net trading portfolio loss of $16 million compared to a net $6 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation's sales and the supply of these sales excluding the trading portfolio, were as follows:

Generation's nuclear fleet, including AmerGen, performed at a capacity factor of 92.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 93.6% for the same period in 2001. 97 Generation's nuclear fleet's production costs, including AmerGen, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $12.54 per MWh compared to $13.02 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The lower capacity factor is primarily due to 72 planned outage days in the three months ended June 30, 2002, versus 31 days in the same period in 2001, including AmerGen. Reduced unit production costs reflect additional generation due to power uprates and lower production costs due to headcount reductions and Exelon's Cost Management Initiative in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Operating and Maintenance Operating and maintenance expenses increased $6 million, or 2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to additional employee benefit costs of $9 million, additional operating costs related to fossil plant outage work and the costs related to the two generating plants acquired in April 2002 of $3 million. These increases were partially offset by $7 million less in nuclear outage costs and other operating cost reductions including savings from Exelon's Cost Management Initiative. Depreciation Depreciation expenses decreased $10 million, or 13%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $16 million reduction in depreciation expense arising from the extension of the useful lives on certain generation facilities in the third quarter of 2001, partially offset by additional depreciation expense on capital additions placed in service after June 30, 2001 including the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income increased $2 million, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in property taxes. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $15 million, or 58%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to capitalized interest and a lower interest rate on the spent nuclear fuel obligation. Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $4 million, or 31%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a $7 million reduction in Generation's equity earnings in AmerGen, primarily due to a planned plant outage, which began in the first quarter of 2002. This decrease is partially offset by a $3 million increase in Generation's equity earnings in Sithe. Other, net Other, net increased $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $10 million increase in investment income from the nuclear decommissioning trust funds. 98 Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was unchanged at 37.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Net Income Generation's net income decreased by $78 million, or 32%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Net income was adversely impacted by a lower margin on wholesale energy sales due to depressed market prices for energy, a reduced supply of low-cost nuclear generation, and increased operating and maintenance expense partially offset by an increase in revenue from affiliates and lower depreciation and interest expense. Operating Revenues, Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Operating revenues, net of purchased power and fuel were $1,264 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1,442 million for the same period in the prior year. The $178 million, or 12%, decrease was due to lower wholesale market prices for energy, which reduced margins by $184 million, which was partially offset by increased revenues from affiliates of $26 million and lower fuel costs. The amount of low-cost nuclear generation 99 available for sale was reduced due to an increased number of nuclear generating station refueling outages in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Additionally, trading activities were initiated in April 2001. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes a net trading portfolio loss of $16 million compared to a net $6 million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Generation's sales and the supply of these sales excluding the trading portfolio were as follows:

Trading volume was 22,805 GWhs and 454 GWhs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Generation's average margins on energy sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------- ($/MWh) 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Realized Revenue Energy Delivery $ 30.73 $ 29.58 Exelon Energy 45.08 39.30 Market Sales 29.44 38.66 Total Sales - excluding the trading portfolio 30.58 33.27 Average Supply Cost - excluding the trading portfolio 17.78 18.75 Average Margin - excluding the trading portfolio 12.80 14.52 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generation's nuclear fleet, including AmerGen, performed at a capacity factor 91.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 96.2% for the same period in 2001. Generation's nuclear fleet's production costs, including AmerGen, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $13.38 per MWh compared to $12.34 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The lower capacity factor and increased unit production costs are primarily due to 153 planned outage days in the six months ended June 30, 2002, versus 31 days in the same period in 2001, 100 including AmerGen. Increased unit production costs are partially offset by lower production costs due to headcount reductions and cost savings initiatives. Generation's average purchased power costs for wholesale operations were $36.76 per MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $41.81 per MWh for the same period in 2001. The decrease in purchase power costs was primarily due to depressed wholesale power market prices. Operating and Maintenance Operating and maintenance expense increased $35 million, or 4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This was due to the additional operating and maintenance expense of $55 million arising from an increased number of nuclear plant refueling outages during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, as well as additional allocated corporate costs including executive severance. These additional expenses were offset by other operating cost reductions, including $10 million related to headcount reductions, a $10 million reduction in Generation's severance accrual and $4 million in savings from Exelon's Cost Management Initiative. The severance reduction represents a reversal of costs previously charged to operating expense. Depreciation Depreciation expenses decreased $39 million, or 23%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to a $48 million reduction in depreciation expense arising from the extension of the useful lives on certain generation facilities commencing in the second quarter of 2001, partially offset by additional depreciation expense on capital additions placed in service after June 30, 2001, including the acquisition of two generating plants in April 2002. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes other than income increased $5 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due primarily to the Texas franchisee taxes related to the acquisition of two generating plants from TXU in April 2002 and an increase in property taxes. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $31 million, or 53%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is due to capitalized interest and a lower interest rate on the spent nuclear fuel obligation. Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $7 million, or 18%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease was due to a $12 million reduction in Generation's equity earnings in AmerGen, primarily due to a planned plant outage in 2002. This decrease is partially offset by an increase of $5 million in Generation's equity earnings of Sithe. 101 Other, net Other, net increased $22 million, or 122%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a $22 million increase in investment income from the nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was substantially unchanged at 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 39.6% for the same period in 2001. Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles On January 1, 2002, Generation adopted SFAS No. 141 resulting in a benefit of $13 million (net of income taxes of $9 million). On January 1, 2001, Generation adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, resulting in a benefit of $12 million (net of income taxes of $7 million). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Generation's business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. Generation's capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financings and borrowings or capital contributions from Exelon. Generation's access to external financing at reasonable terms is dependent on Generation's credit ratings and general business condition, as well as the general business conditions of the industry. Capital resources are used primarily to fund capital requirements, including construction, investments in new and existing ventures, and repayments of maturing debt. Any potential future acquisitions could require external financing or borrowings or capital contributions for Exelon. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operations were $519 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $485 million for the same period in 2001. Generation's cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy to wholesale customers, including Generation's affiliated companies, as well as settlements arising from Generation's trading activities. Generation's future cash flow from operating activities will depend upon future demand and market prices for energy and the ability to continue to produce and supply power at competitive costs. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,048 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $99 million for the same period in 2001. Capital expenditures were $258 million and the investment in nuclear fuel was $217 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to capital expenditures of $173 million and investment in nuclear fuel of $128 million in the same period in 2001. In addition to the 2002 capital expenditures, Generation closed the purchase of two natural-gas and oil-fired plants from TXU on April 25, 2002. The $443 million purchase was funded with available cash and borrowings from Exelon. An increased number of 102 nuclear generating station refueling outages occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Generation's investing activities were funded from operating activities, borrowings from Exelon and the use of available cash. In February 2002, Generation entered into an agreement to loan AmerGen up to $75 million at an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of June 30, 2002, AmerGen had borrowed $75 million under this agreement. In July 2002, the loan agreement and the loan were increased to $100 million and the maturity date was extended to July 1, 2003. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash flows provided by financing activities were $329 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to cash used of $67 million for the same period in the prior year. In 2002 Generation obtained a $331 million loan from Exelon for the acquisition of two generating plants. The prior year amount represented net distributions of $121 million to Exelon and the issuance of long-term debt of $752 million. Also, in 2001 Generation repaid $696 million it had borrowed from Exelon related to the acquisition of a 49.9% interest in Sithe. Credit Issues Generation meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through borrowings under bank credit facilities and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany utility money pool. Generation, along with Exelon, ComEd and PECO entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility on December 12, 2001 with a group of banks. As of June 30, 2002, no borrowing sublimit had been established for Generation under this credit facility. This credit facility requires Generation to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio of 65% or less. At June 30, 2002, Generation's debt to total capitalization ratio was 32%. Generation's access to the capital markets and its financing costs in those markets are dependent on its securities ratings. None of Generation's borrowings are subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities ratings although such a downgrading could increase interest charges under certain bank credit facilities. From time to time Generation enters into interest rate swap and other derivatives that require the maintenance of investment grade ratings. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings would allow the counterparty to terminate the derivative and settle the transaction on a net present value basis. Under PUHCA and the Federal Power Act, Generation can only pay dividends from undistributed or current earnings. At June 30, 2002, Generation had undistributed earnings of $686 million. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments represent commitments triggered by future events. Generation's contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2002 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of business, from the amounts set forth in the December 31, 2001 Form10-K except for the following: 103 o On April 25, 2002 Generation closed the purchase of two generating plants from TXU. The $443 million purchase was funded primarily with borrowings from Exelon. o On June 26, 2002 Generation agreed to purchase Sithe New England for $543 million plus the assumption of non-recourse debt estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion at the date of purchase. The purchase is estimated to close in November 2002, subject to regulatory approval. See Note 3 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Sithe New England acquisition. o Purchase obligations increased by $1.2 billion, primarily due to an increase of $2.0 billion in power only purchases partially offset by a $0.8 billion decrease in net capacity purchase commitments. The increase in power only purchases is primarily due to Generation's agreement to purchase all the energy from Unit No. 1 at Three Mile Island after December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2014. This decrease in net capacity purchase commitments is due primarily to the decision not to exercise the option to purchase 2,684 MWs of capacity from Midwest Generation in 2002 and 2003 as well as the increase in capacity sales under the TXU tolling agreement. Off Balance Sheet Obligations Generation owns 49.9% of the outstanding common stock of Sithe and has an option, beginning on December 18, 2002, to purchase the remaining common stock outstanding (Remaining Interest) in Sithe. The purchase option expires on December 18, 2005. In addition, the Sithe stockholders who own in the aggregate the Remaining Interest have the right to require Generation to purchase the Remaining Interest (Put Rights) during the same period in which Generation can exercise its purchase option. At the end of this exercise period, if Generation has not exercised its purchase option and the other Sithe stockholders have not exercised their Put Rights, Generation will have an additional one-time option to purchase shares from the other stockholders in Sithe to bring Generation's ownership in Sithe from the current 49.9% to 50.1% of Sithe's total outstanding common stock. If Generation exercises its option to acquire the Remaining Interest, or if all the other Sithe stockholders exercise their Put Rights, the purchase price for 70% of the Remaining Interest will be set at fair market value subject to a floor of $430 million and a ceiling of $650 million. The balance of the Remaining Interest will be valued at fair market value subject to a floor of $141 million and a ceiling of $330 million. In either instance, the floor and ceiling will accrue interest from the beginning of the exercise period. If Generation increases its ownership in Sithe to 50.1% or more, Sithe will become a consolidated subsidiary and Exelon's financial results will include Sithe's financial results from the date of purchase. At June 30, 2002, Sithe had total assets of $4.1 billion and total debt of $2.1 billion, including $1.6 billion of non-recourse project debt of which $1.0 billion is associated with Sithe New England, $0.4 billion of subordinated debt, $49 million of short-term debt, $33 million of capital leases, and excluding $411 million of non-recourse project debt associated with Sithe's equity investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Sithe had revenues of $0.6 billion. As of June 30, 2002, Generation had a $725 million equity investment in Sithe. On June 26, 2002, Generation agreed to purchase Sithe New England for $543 million plus the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of non-recourse project debt, which is 104 expected to be outstanding at the time of the closing of the purchase. Generation expects to close the purchase of Sithe New England in November 2002, subject to regulatory approval. Additionally, the debt on the books of Exelon's unconsolidated equity investments and joint ventures is not reflected on Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total investee debt, at June 30, 2002 including the debt of Sithe described in the preceding paragraph, is currently estimated to be $2.3 billion ($1.2 billion based on Exelon's ownership interest of the investments). Generation and British Energy, Generation's joint venture partner in AmerGen, have each agreed to provide up to $100 million to AmerGen at any time for operating expenses. Other Factors Generation is a counterparty to Dynegy in various energy transactions. In early July 2002, the credit ratings of Dynegy were downgraded by two credit rating agencies to below investment grade. As of July 29, 2002, Generation had a net receivable from Dynegy of less than $5 million, and consistent with the terms of the existing credit arrangement, has requested collateral in support of this receivable. Generation also has credit risk associated with Dynegy through Generation's equity investment in Sithe. Sithe is a 60% owner of the Independence generating station, a 1,040 MW gas-fired qualified facility that has an energy only long-term tolling arrangement with Dynegy, with a related financial swap arrangement. As of June 30, 2002, Sithe had recognized an asset on its balance sheet related to the fair value of the financial swap agreement with Dynegy that is marked-to-market under the terms of SFAS No. 133. If Dynegy is unable to fulfill the terms of this agreement, Sithe would be required to write-off the fair value asset, which Generation estimates would result in an approximate $15 million reduction in its equity earnings from Sithe, based on Generation's current 49.9% investment ownership in Sithe. Additionally, the future economic value of Sithe's investment in the Independence Station and AmerGen's purchased power arrangement with Illinois Power, a subsidiary of Dynegy, could be impacted by events related to Dynergy's financial condition. 105 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Commodity Price Risk Generation Generation's energy contracts are accounted for under SFAS No. 133. Most non-trading contracts qualify for a normal purchases and normal sales exception. Those that do not are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of qualifying cash-flow hedge contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying transaction matures. Mark-to-market gains and losses on other derivative contracts that do not meet hedge criteria under SFAS No. 133 and the ineffective portion of hedge contracts are recognized in earnings on a current basis. Amounts recognized in earnings related to energy contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 include $17 million of realized gains from cash-flow hedge contract settlements and $5 million in non-cash mark-to-market losses on other derivative contracts, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 include $54 million of realized gains from cash-flow hedge contract settlements and $2 million in non-cash mark-to market losses on other derivative contracts. Outlined below is a summary of the changes in fair value for those contracts included as assets and liabilities in Exelon and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheet for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002:

The majority of Generation's contracts are non-exchange traded contracts valued using prices provided by external sources, which primarily represent price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. Prices reflect the average of the bid-ask midpoint prices obtained from all sources that Generation believes provide the most liquid market for the commodity. The terms for which such price information is available varies by commodity, by region and by product. The remainder of the assets represent contracts for which external valuations are not available, primarily option contracts. These contracts are valued using the Black model, an industry standard option valuation model, and other valuation techniques and are discounted using a risk-free interest rate. The fair values in each category reflect the level of forward prices and volatility factors as of June 30, 2002 and may change as a result of future changes in these factors. 107 Mark-to market gains and losses on qualifying cash-flow hedge contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be reclassified into earnings when the contract settles. Mark-to-market gains and losses on derivative contracts that do not meet hedge criteria under SFAS No. 133 and the ineffective portion of hedge contracts have been recognized in earnings on a current basis. The maturities, or expected settlement dates, of the qualifying cash flow hedge contracts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and the other non-trading and trading derivative contracts and sources of fair value as of June 30, 2002 are as follows:
Maturities within --------------------------------------- Total Fair (in millions) 1 Year 2-3 Years 4-5 Years Value --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-trading, qualifying cash flow hedge contracts (1): Prices provided by other external sources $ -- $ (24) $ (6) $ (30) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ -- $ (24) $ (6) $ (30) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-trading, other derivative contracts (2): Actively quoted prices $ 4 $ -- $ -- $ 4 Prices provided by other external sources 22 11 5 38 Prices based on model or other valuation methods (8) (6) (17) (31) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 18 $ 5 $ (12) $ 11 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trading, other derivative contracts (3): Actively quoted prices $ 1 $ -- $ -- $ 1 Prices provided by other external sources (3) (3) -- (6) Prices based on model or other valuation methods 4 2 -- 6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 2 $ (1) $ -- $ 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Mark-to-market gains and losses on contracts that qualify as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income.

(3) Mark-to-market gains and losses on trading contracts are recorded in earnings.
Credit Risk Exelon and Generation Generation is a counterparty to Dynegy in various energy transactions. In early July 2002, the credit ratings of Dynegy were downgraded by two credit rating agencies to below investment grade. As of July 29, 2002, Generation had a net receivable from Dynegy of less than $5 million, and consistent with the terms of the existing credit arrangement, has requested collateral in support of this receivable. Generation also has credit risk associated with Dynegy through Generation's equity investment in Sithe. Sithe is a 60% owner of the Independence generating station, a 1,040 MW gas-fired qualified facility that has an energy only long-term tolling arrangement with Dynegy, with a related financial swap arrangement. As of June 30, 2002, Sithe had recognized an asset on its balance sheet related to the fair value of the financial swap agreement with Dynegy that is marked-to-market under the terms of SFAS No. 133. If Dynegy is unable to fulfill the terms of this agreement, Sithe would be required to write-off the fair value asset, which Generation estimates would result in an approximate $15 million reduction in its equity earnings from Sithe, based on Generation's current 49.9% investment ownership in Sithe. Additionally, the future economic value of Sithe's investment in the Independence Station and AmerGen's 108 purchased power arrangement with Illinois Power, a subsidiary of Dynegy, could be impacted by events related to Dynergy's financial condition. 109 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As previously reported in Exelon's March 2002 Form 10-Q, on May 8, 2002, a class action lawsuit was filed against Exelon on behalf of purchasers of Exelon securities between April 24, 2001 and September 27, 2001 (Class Period). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges that Exelon violated Federal securities laws by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements relating to its 2001 earnings expectations during the Class Period. Corbin A. McNeill, Jr., John Rowe and Ruth Ann Gillis were also named as defendants. Between May 8 and June 14, 2002, an additional five nearly identical class actions lawsuits were filed. On May 30 and July 2, 2002, the Court consolidated the cases into one lawsuit. Exelon believes that the lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously contest this matter. As previously reported in the 2001 Form 10-K and the March 2002 Form 10-Q, several developers of non-utility generating facilities filed litigation against various Illinois officials claiming that the enforcement of an Illinois law amendment, which removed the entitlement of those facilities to receive state-subsidized payments for electricity sold to ComEd after March 15, 1996, violated their rights under the Federal and state constitutions. Subsequently, the developers filed complaints alleging that ComEd breached the contracts in question and requested damages reflecting the state-subsidized rate to which the developers claim they were entitled under their contracts. In July 2002, certain of the plaintiffs produced an expert report claiming approximately $175 million in damages, a quantification ComEd vigorously disputes. Virtually all parties have filed motions for summary judgment. ComEd is contesting each case and has filed its motion for summary judgment arguing that, as a matter of law, it did not breach any of the contracts. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Information regarding the submission of matters to a vote of security holders is presented in the Form 10-Q for the Quarterly period ended March 31, 2002. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION ComEd On May 28, 2002, ComEd filed a declaration with the FERC to join PJM. ComEd committed to place its transmission system under the control of an independent transmission company that would operate within PJM West, which would be managed by National Grid USA and would also include the transmission systems of American Electric Power East and Illinois Power. 110 On July 19, 2002, ComEd filed a request with the ICC to revise the POLR obligation in Illinois. ComEd is seeking permission from the ICC to limit the availability by June 2006 of Rate 6L for 370 of ComEd's largest energy customers with demands of at least three MWs, totaling approximately 2,500 MWs. Rate 6L is a bundled fixed rate offered to large customers including heavy industrial plants, large office buildings, government facilities and a variety of other businesses. The ICC has 120 days to act on the filing or it will be deemed approved. On August 1, 2002, ComEd set a new record for highest peak load experienced to date of 21,852 MWs. PECO As previously disclosed in the 2001 Form 10-K, in February 2002, New Power notified PECO of its intent to withdraw from providing Competitive Default Service ("CDS") to approximately 180,000 residential customers. As a result of that withdrawal, those CDS customers were returned to PECO in the second quarter of 2002. Pursuant to a tariff filing approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, PECO will serve those returned customers at the discount energy rates on generation provided for under the original New Power CDS Agreement for the remaining term of that contract. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2002, New Power also advised PECO it planned to withdraw from serving all of its customers in Pennsylvania, including approximately 15,000 non-CDS PECO customers, and to return those customers to PECO in September 2002. On July 29, 2002, PECO set a new record for highest peak load experienced to date of 8,193 MWs. Generation On April 25, 2002, Generation completed the purchase of two TXU Energy power plants located in Dallas and Fort Worth areas for 443 million. The agreement was first announced in December 2001. The purchase includes the 893 MW Mountain Creek Steam Electric Station in Dallas and the 1,441 MW Handley Steam Electric Station in Fort Worth. The purchase was funded with available cash and commercial paper. On June 21, 2002, Generation signed an agreement with Peoples Calumet, LLC to form Southeast Chicago Energy Project, LLC. Southeast Chicago Energy Project LLC will operate a 350MW simple cycle peaking power generating facility consisting of 8 turbines located in Chicago. As of June 30, 2002 Generation's investment in the Southeast Chicago Project, LLC was $166 million. ITEM 6.
