Forward prices at PJM West are generally higher than prices at the
Homer City busbar.  During the past twelve months, transmission
congestion in PJM has resulted in prices at the Homer City busbar
being lower than those at the PJM West Hub by an average 9% with
the monthly average difference during this period ranging from zero
to 20%, which occurred in August 2005.

Appendix
Slide 4:  The calculation for the third quarter 2005 recourse leverage ratio of 51% includes common equity
and preferred securities as reflected on the EIX balance sheets.
Debt includes short-
and long-term debt
and excludes
non-recourse
debt from continuing operations totaling $2.4 billion. The comparable 2005
leverage ratio based on the same balance sheet classifications, including
non-recourse
items, is 58%.
The calculation for the 2004 recourse leverage ratio of 56% includes common equity and preferred
securities as reflected on the EIX balance sheet. Debt includes short-
and long-term debt and other
preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption. Debt excludes
non-recourse
debt from continuing
operations totaling $2.8 billion. The comparable 2004 leverage ratio based on the same balance sheet
classifications, including non-recourse items is 63%.
The calculation for the 2003 recourse leverage ratio of 61% is calculated on the same basis as 2004,
reclassifying other preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption of $141 million as a component
of debt.
Non-recourse
debt of $2.9 billion is excluded. The comparable 2003 leverage ratio including
non-recourse amounts is 68%.
The calculation for the 2002 recourse leverage ratio of 69% is calculated on the same basis as 2003,
reclassifying other preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption of $1.2 billion as a component of
debt. Non-recourse preferred securities of $131 million and
non-recourse
debt of $5.4 billion are
excluded. The comparable 2002 leverage ratio including
non-recourse
amounts, and based on 2002
balance sheet classifications which classify preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption as
preferred stock, is 71%.
