Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements. Because the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Duke Energy Registrants' combined Form 10-K for the year ended &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2012. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of the respective companies' management, necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of each Duke Energy Registrant. Amounts reported in Duke Energy's interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and each of the Subsidiary Registrants' interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods due to the effects of seasonal temperature variations on energy consumption, regulatory rulings, the timing of maintenance on electric generating units, changes in mark-to-market valuations, changing commodity prices and other factors. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;P&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;rior year financial statements and footnote disclosures for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;Progress Energy, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Florida&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;have been reclassified to conform to Duke Energy's presenta&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;tion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;'&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:8pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0px;"&gt;U&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NBILLED REVENUE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Revenues on sales of electricity and gas are recognized when either the service is provided or the product is delivered. Unbilled retail revenues are estimated by applying average revenue per kilowatt-hour&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt; (kWh)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt; or per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for all customer classes to the number of estimated &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt;kWh or Mcf&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"&gt; delivered but not billed. Unbilled wholesale energy revenues are calculated by applying the contractual rate per megawatt-hour (MWh) to the number of estimated MWh delivered but not yet billed. Unbilled wholesale demand revenues are calculated by applying the contractual rate per megawatt (MW) to the MW volume delivered but not yet billed. The amount of unbilled revenues can vary significantly from period to period as a result of numerous factors, including seasonality, weather, customer usage patterns and customer mix. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt;
