^a  Accounts written off, net.

^b  Edison International recorded deferred tax assets of $1.5 billion related to net operating losses and tax carryforwards that pertain to Edison International's consolidated or combined federal and state tax returns, including EME. Edison International continues to consolidate EME for federal and certain combined state tax returns. Under federal and state tax regulations, a tax deconsolidation of EME in future periods, as expected through the bankruptcy proceeding, would result in EME retaining a portion of such carryforward benefits and reducing the amounts that Edison International would be eligible to use in future periods. As a result of the expected future tax deconsolidation and separation of EME from Edison International, Edison International has recorded a valuation allowance of $1.0 billion based on the estimated amount of such benefits as of December 31, 2012, as calculated under the applicable federal and state tax regulations.

^c  In 2010, SCE recorded a reserve against an uncollectible receivable related to contract termination negotiations. During 2011, the $23 million was written-off.
