Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Earnings Per Common Share
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015,Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of its consolidated income statement. Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders (“Net income” on Con Edison’s consolidated income statement) by the weighted average number of Con Edison common shares outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock.

Potentially dilutive securities for Con Edison consist of restricted stock units, deferred stock units and stock options for which the average market price of the common shares for the period was greater than the exercise price.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:

Pursuant to the Joint Proposal, the company is required to credit $116 million to customers and, for the period 2017 through 2044, to not seek to recover from customers an aggregate $55 million relating to return on its capital expenditures. In addition, the company’s revenues that were made subject to potential refund in this proceeding are no longer subject to refund. At September 30, 2016, the company had a $96 million regulatory liability for the remaining amount to be credited to customers related to this matter.

CECONY’s qualification and requalification procedures had not included certain required testing to evaluate specimen fuses. In addition, CECONY and O&R had not timely requalified certain workers that had been qualified under their respective procedures to perform fusion to join plastic pipe. CECONY and O&R have requalified their workers who perform plastic pipe fusions. In May 2015, the NYSPSC, which indicated that it would address enforcement atthe outage resulted from a later date, ordered CECONY, O&Rfailure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station and other gas utilitiesled to perform risk assessment and remediation plans, additional leakage surveying and reporting; CECONY to hire an independent statistician to develop a risk assessment and remediation plan; andloss of the gas utilities to implement certain new plastic fusion requirements.

Expected Contributions
During the first nine monthsBased on estimates as of 2016, the Companies contributed $6June 30, 2017, Con Edison expects to make a contribution of $16 million, nearly all of which was$8 million is to be contributed by CECONY, to the other postretirement benefit plans.plans in 2017. The Companies' policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the plans to the extent tax deductible.

Note G — Environmental Matters
Superfund Sites
Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.
The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”
For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites.
The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 were as follows:

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available,

the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. The Companies are unable to estimate the time period over which the remaining accrued liability will be incurred because, among other things, the required remediation has not been determined for some of the sites. Under their current rate plans, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certainprudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs.
Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 were as follows:

Insurance recoveries received by Con Edison andor CECONY received $1 million in insurance recoverieswere immaterial for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. No insurance recoveries were received by Con Edison or CECONY for the three and nineor six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016.
In 2015,2016, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other environmental contaminants could range up to $2.8 billion and $2.7$2.6 billion, respectively. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.
Asbestos Proceedings
Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, Con Edison and CECONY hadhave accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. TheThese estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Trial courtsCourts have begun, and unless otherwise determined by an appellate courton appeal may continue, to apply a different standardstandards for determining liability in asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate plans, CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.
The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 were as follows:

Note H — Other Material Contingencies
Manhattan Steam Main Rupture
In July 2007, a CECONY steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured. It has been reported that one person died and others were injured as a result of the incident. Several buildings in the area were damaged. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of several buildings and streets for various periods. Approximately sixtyforty-five suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. In July 2017, the company reached agreements to resolve most of these suits which, after payment by the company of agreed-upon settlement amounts, are expected to be discontinued. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs to satisfy its liability to others in connection with the suits. In the company’s estimation, there is not a reasonable possibility that an exposure to loss exists for the suits that is materially in excess of the estimated liability accrued. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the company has accrued its estimated liability for the suits of $30$18 million and an insurance receivable of $39$18 million.
Manhattan Explosion and Fire
On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116th and 117th StreetStreets in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. Eight people died and more than 50 people were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated. The parties to the investigation included the company, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC (which also conducted an investigation).NYSPSC. In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic distribution main) installed by the company that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a City sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, which caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the company that addressed its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for notifications to the City’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. In February 2017, the NYSPSC approved a settlement agreement with the company related to the NYSPSC's investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the agreement, the company will not recover from customers $126 million of costs it incurred for gas emergency response activities in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in excess of the amounts reflected in its gas rate plan and will provide $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory liability, see Note B). Approximately seventyeighty suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss for damages related to the incident. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident.

Con Edison Transmission — Con Edison has guaranteed payment by CET Electric of the contributions CET Electric agreed to make to New York Transco LLC (NY Transco). CET Electric acquired a 45.7 percent interest in NY Transco when it was formed in 2014. NY Transco’s transmission projects are expected to be initially developed by CECONY and other New York transmission owners and then transferred to NY Transco. In May 2016, the transmission owners transferred certain projects to NY Transco, as tofor which CET Electric made its required contributions. TheNY Transco has proposed other transmission projects in the New York Independent System Operator's competitive bidding process. These other projects that were proposed when NY Transco was formed remainare subject to certain authorizations from the NYSPSC, the FERC and, as applicable, other federal, state and local agencies. Guarantee amount shown is for the maximum possible required amount of CET Electric’s contributions for these other projects as calculated based on the assumptions that the projects are completed at 175 percent of their estimated costs and NY Transco does not use any debt financing for the projects. Guarantee term shown is assumed as the selection of the projects and resulting timing of the contributions is not certain. Also included within the table above is a guarantee for $25 million from Con Edison on behalf of CET Gas in relation to a proposed gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia. See Note P.
Energy Transactions — Con Edison guarantees payments on behalf of its competitive energy businessesthe Clean Energy Businesses in order to facilitate physical and financial transactions in electricity, gas, pipeline capacity, transportation, oil, renewable energy credits and energy services. To the extent that liabilities exist under the contracts subject to these guarantees, such liabilities are included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet. Guarantee amounts shown above include $123$21 million of guarantees or other credit support provided by Con Edison on behalf of Con Edison Solutions that may continue in effect during the period in which Con Edison Solutions provides transition services in connection with the retail electric supply business it sold in September 2016. See Note P. As part of the sale agreement, the purchaser has agreed to pay Con Edison Solutions for draws on such guarantees or other credit support.guarantees.
Renewable Electric Production Projects — Con Edison, Con Edison Development, and Con Edison Solutions guarantee payments associated with the investment in solar and wind energy facilities on behalf of their wholly-owned subsidiaries.subsidiaries associated with their investment in, or development for others of, solar and wind energy facilities.
Other — Other guarantees include $70 million in guarantees provided by Con Edison to Travelers Insurance Company for indemnity agreements for surety bonds in connection with energy service projects and operation of solar energy facilities and energy service projects of Con Edison SolutionsDevelopment and Con Edison Development,Solutions, respectively. Other guarantees also includes Con Edison's guarantee (subject to a $53 million maximum amount) of certain obligations of Con Edison Solutions under itsthe agreement pursuant to sellwhich it sold its retail electric supply business. See Note P. In addition, Con Edison issued a guarantee estimated at $5 million to the Public Utility Commission of Texas covering obligations of Con Edison Solutions as a retail electric provider. As part of the sale agreement for the retail electric supply business discussed above, the purchaser has agreed to pay Con Edison Solutions for draws on the guarantee to the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

Note I — Income Tax
Con Edison’s income tax expense increaseddecreased to $314$102 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 from $249$124 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015 was 39 percent and 37 percent, respectively. The increase in Con Edison's effective tax rate is primarily due to higher state income taxes and a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, offset in part by higher tax benefits for injuries and damages payments, research and development tax credits and renewable energy tax credits.

CECONY’s income tax expense increased to $226 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $222 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. CECONY's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 37 percent. The decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, were more than offset by lower state income taxes and increased tax benefits as a result of higher injuries and damages payments and research and development tax credits.

Con Edison’s income tax expense increased to $330 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $288 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37 percent and 35 percent, respectively. The increase in Con Edison's effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items and higher reserves for injuries and damages, offset in part by lower state income taxes and bad debt expense.

CECONY’s income tax expense increased to $309 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $264 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. CECONY's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 39 percent and 36 percent, respectively. The increase in CECONY's effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, lower research and development tax credits.credits and higher reserve for injuries and damages, offset in part by lower state income taxes and bad debt expense.

In September 2016, Con Edison filed its 2015 federal income tax return, requesting a refund of $19 million of estimated tax payments and, in October 2016, the company received the refund. The company carried back a 2015 net operating loss to 2007, requesting a refund of $16 million of federal income tax and, in October 2016, the company received the refund. Con Edison anticipates a federal consolidated net operating loss for 2016,2017, primarily due to bonus depreciation. Con Edison expects to carryback a portion of its 20162017 net operating loss andto recover $32$18 million of income tax. GeneralThe remaining 2017 net operating loss, as well as general business tax credits that became available as a result of the net operating loss carryback, as well as the remaining 2016 net operating lossgenerated in 2017, will be carried forward to future tax years. A deferred tax asset for these tax attribute carryforwards was recorded, and no valuation allowance has been provided, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

Uncertain Tax Positions
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $37$40 million ($521 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve approximately $29$33 million ($2023 million, net of federal taxes) of its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months, including $19 million ($13 million, net of federal taxes), which, the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $5$17 million ($412 million, net of federal taxes), ofincluding $2 million, which, the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $37$23 million ($2516 million, net of federal taxes).
The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense and no penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

Con Edison’s principal business segments prior to June 2016 wereare CECONY’s regulated utility activities, O&R’s regulated utility activities, the Clean Energy Businesses and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses.Edison Transmission. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities. In 2016, Con Edison Transmission began investing, through CET Electric and CET Gas, in electric transmission and gas pipeline and storage assets (see Note P). As a result of these investments, in June 2016 Con Edison changed its business segments to add Con Edison Transmission as a separate reportable segment based on management’s reporting and decision-making, including performance evaluation and resource allocation. For comparison purposes, the previously reported financial information by business segments was reclassified to reflect the current business segment presentation.

Note K — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note L), unless an exception is available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

(a)Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.
(b)At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, margin deposits for Con Edison ($127 million and $26$7 million, respectively) and CECONY ($127 million and $26$7 million, respectively) were classified as derivative assets on the consolidated balance sheet, but not included in the table. Margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument is required to deposit in order to transact on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange.

The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. Con Edison’s competitive energy businessesThe Clean Energy Businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses.Clean Energy Businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, Con Edison and CECONY had $141$70 million and $13$9 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $77 million with independent system operators, $34$23 million with investment-grade counterparties, $20$21 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties$13 million with commodity exchange brokers, and $10$13 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties.independent system operators. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $12$7 million with commodity exchange brokers and $1$2 million with investment-grade counterparties.
The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the party’s credit ratings.
 
The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Companies’ derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position, the collateral posted for such positions and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade at SeptemberJune 30, 2016:2017:

(a)Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and the competitive energy businessesClean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post additional collateral of $10$12 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.
(b)The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liabilitiesliability position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
(c)Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $9$14 million.

Interest Rate Swap
In December 2016, the Clean Energy Businesses acquired Coram Wind project which holds an interest rate swap that terminates in June 2024, pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 2.0855 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap was a liability of $1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 on Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet.

Note L — Fair Value Measurements
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or

35

Table of Contents

liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:
Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.
Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.
Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.

(a)The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
(b)Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas. Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry standard models that incorporate corroborated observable inputs; such as pricing services or prices from similar instruments that trade in liquid markets, time value and volatility factors.
(c)The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations.
(d)Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the deferred compensation plan and non-qualified retirement plans.
(e)Amounts represent the impact of legally-enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Companies to net gain and loss positions and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.
(f)Amounts represent derivative assets and liabilities included in Assets and Liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet.

The employees in the Companies’ risk management group develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives.

Note O — New Financial Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a revenue recognition standard that will supersede the revenue recognition requirements within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance under the Codification through Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The purpose of the new guidance is to create a consistent framework for revenue recognition. The guidance clarifies how to measure and recognize revenue arising from customer contracts to depict the transfer of goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive. Additionally, in March and April 2016, respectively, the FASBAmendments were issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)”subsequently to clarify how to apply the implementation guidance for principal versus key areas including principal/agent considerations, and ASU No. 2016-10,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”

to clarify the guidance pertaining to identifying performance obligations, and licensing, implementation guidance. Furthermore in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” to clarify assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, contract modification at transition, and completed contracts at transition.contracts. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The2016, however, the Companies are in the process of evaluating the application and impact ofplan to adopt the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments on certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments through ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments require changes to the accounting for equity investments, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, clarification was provided related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. For public entities, the amendments are effectivestandard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for portions

Under the new standard, companies may use either of the standard.following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Companies anticipate using the modified retrospective approach.

The Companies are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidancestandard on their various revenue streams. The majority of the Companies’ sales are derived from tariffs to provide electric, gas, and steam service to customers. For such tariffs, the Companies expect that the revenue from contracts with the customer under ASU 2014-09 will be equivalent to the electricity, gas, or steam supplied in that period which is consistent with current practice. Consequently, the Companies do not anticipate that the new standard will materially impact the amount and/or timing of such revenues. The Companies continue to review the potential impacts of other revenue at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses on the Companies’Companies' financial position, results of operations and liquidity.liquidity as well as the additional disclosures required under the new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amendments on financial reporting of leasing transactions through ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. For income statement purposes, the pattern of expense recognition will be dependent on whether transactions are designated as operating leases or finance leases. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and provide for certain practical expedients. Based on the existing portfolio of leases at implementation, for leases currently classified as operating leases, the Companies expect to recognize on the statements of financial position right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the guidance for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the paymentdefinition of principal on debt instruments are clearlya business and closely related to their debt hosts through ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives & Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.” An entity performing the assessment under the amendments is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Cash Flows Fromfrom Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect principallyprimarily their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is affected primarily by factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions and measuresconditions. Measures that promote distributed energy efficiency.resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect the volume of energy sales and deliveries. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows but generally not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate plans.

Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense and amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans.

Prepayments
The increase in prepayments for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily the portion allocable to the 2016 fourth quarter of CECONY's July 2016 payment of its New York City semi-annual property taxes.

Regulatory Asset for Unrecognized Pension and Other Postretirement Costs and Liability for Pension and Retiree Benefits
The decrease in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs and the liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2015,2016, in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the year’s amortization of accounting costs. The change in the liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects in part contributions to the plans made by the Utilities in 2016.2017. See Notes B, E and F to the ThirdSecond Quarter Financial Statements.

Income Taxes Receivable
The decrease in income taxes receivable for Con Edison reflects primarily the refund received in February 2016 from the Internal Revenue Service as a result of the extension of bonus depreciation in December 2015.

Deferred Income Taxes and Unamortized Investment Tax Credits
The increase in the liability for deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily bonus depreciation in 2016,2017, partially offset by the increase in deferred income tax assets associated with the federal tax attribute carryforwards related to the net operating loss and general business tax credits. See Note I to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

System Benefit Charge
The increase in the liability for the system benefit charge reflects amounts collected by the Utilities from their customers that will be required to be paid to NYSERDA.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None of the Companies’ interests in variable interest entities (VIEs) meettransactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements meets the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC definition of off-balance sheet arrangements. For information regarding the Companies’ VIEs, see Note M to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Matters
In March 2016, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) issued an order in which it approved CECONY’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plan for the company’s electric and gas delivery businesses, subject to a cap on capital expenditures of $1,285 million. AMI components include smart meters, a communication network, information technology systems and business applications. The plan provides for full deployment of AMI to the company’s customers to be implemented over a six-year period. The NYSPSC directed CECONY to submit a customer engagement plan, an update to the company’s benefit cost analysis and metrics that the NYSPSC can use to monitor the success of the project.

In May 2016,2017, the NYSPSC issued an order in its Reformingthat changes the Energy Vision (REV) proceeding adopting a ratemaking and utility revenue framework. The order indicated that utilities will have four ways of achieving earnings: traditional cost-of-service earnings; earnings tied to achievement of alternatives that reduce utility capital spending and provide definitive consumer benefit; earnings from market-facing platform activities; and transitional outcome-based performance measures. The order also indicated, among other things, that existing measures for negative revenue adjustments for utility failure to meet basic service standards should generally be retained and net utility plant reconciliations should be modified to encourage cost-effectiveway distributed energy resources (DER) as an alternativeare compensated and begins to utility capital investment.phase out net energy metering. In New York, net energy metering compensates kilowatt-hours exported to the electric distribution system at the full service rate (that is production plus delivery plus taxes and fees). To provide a gradual transition, the NYSPSC allowed all existing resources to keep their current rate treatment and will delay making significant changes to policies affecting new residential and small commercial rooftop solar until 2020. Larger installations, including new commercial and industrial projects and new community solar projects, will be paid for the value of their exports to the electricity distribution system. The order directs each utilitynew policy establishes a 2 percent limit on bill increases, reducing the shifting of avoided distribution costs to filenon-participating residential customers that would have occurred under net energy metering.

Environmental Matters
In May 2017, a system efficiency proposal; an interconnection survey processtransformer failure at a CECONY substation discharged thousands of gallons of transformer oil into the soil. Some of the transformer oil, which contained small amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), leaked into the East River. The company, the U.S. Coast Guard, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and proposed earnings adjustment mechanism;other agencies responded to the incident. The company has replaced the transformer, and is continuing to remediate and monitor the site, the costs of which are not expected to have a progress reportmaterial adverse effect on aggregated data reporting automation; an aggregated data privacy policy statement; revisions to standby service tariffsits financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with the incident, the company may incur monetary sanctions of more than $0.1 million for violations of certain  provisions regulating the discharge of materials into, and cost allocation matrix; one or more smart home rate demonstration proposals; and revisions to voluntary timefor the protection of, use rates and promotion and education tools.the environment.

In June 2016,2017, CECONY received a notice of potential liability from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with respect to the Newtown Creek site that was listed in 2010 on the EPA’s National Priorities List of Superfund sites. The EPA has identified fourteen potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the site, including CECONY, and O&R each filed initial distributed system implementation plans withhas indicated that it will notify the NYSPSC,company as additional PRPs are identified and notified by the EPA. Newtown Creek and its tributaries (collectively, Newtown Creek) form a 3.8 mile border between Brooklyn and Queens, New York. Currently, the predominant land use around Newtown Creek includes industrial, petroleum, recycling, manufacturing and distribution facilities and warehouses. Other uses include trucking, concrete manufacture, transportation infrastructure and a wastewater treatment plant. Newtown Creek is near several residential neighborhoods. Six PRPs, not including CECONY, pursuant to whichan administrative settlement agreement and order on consent the companies provide additional system and planning information for third-party developersEPA issued to facilitate the integration of DERthem in the distributed system platform.

In August 2016, the NYSPSC issued an order adopting the New York State Energy Plan’s goal of 50 percent2011, have been performing a remedial investigation of the State’s electricitysite. The EPA indicated that sampling events have shown the sediments in Newtown Creek to be generated by renewable sources by 2030 as part ofcontaminated with a strategy to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030. The NYSPSC also adopted a Clean Energy Standard (CES) that

The EPA also indicated that it has reason to believe that hazardous substances have come to be released from CECONY facilities into Newtown Creek. The EPA’s current schedule anticipates completion of a feasibility study for the site by late 2018 and O&Rissuance of its record of decision selecting a remedy for their full-service customers, will be requiredthe site by late 2020. CECONY is unable to obtain RECs and ZECs in amounts determined byestimate its exposure to liability for the NYSPSC. LSEs may satisfy their REC obligation by either purchasing RECs acquired through central procurement by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), by self-supply through direct purchase of tradable RECs, or by making alternative compliance payments. LSEs will purchase ZECs from NYSERDA at prices determined by the NYSPSC. The order establishes an annual NYSPSC staff review and triennial NYSPSC review of the CES. Newtown Creek site.

In March 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a November 2015 settlement agreement applicable to three transmission projects that the NYSPSC approved in October 2013 in its proceeding to address potential needs that could arise should the Indian Point Energy Center (which is owned by Entergy Corporation subsidiaries) no longer be able to operate. CECONY developed and, in May 2016, transferred two of the projects to New York Transco LLC. See Note P to the Third Quarter Financial Statements. The settlement agreement, among other things, provides for a 10 percent return on common equity (and/or 9.5 percent for capital costs in excess of $228 million incurred for initial commercial operation), a maximum common equity ratio of 53 percent and allocation of 63 percent of the costs of the projects to load serving entities in the CECONY and O&R service areas.

CET Gas
In April 2016, a CET Gas subsidiary agreed with a subsidiary of Crestwood Equity Partners LP to form a joint venture to own, operate and further develop a gas pipeline and storage business located in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. In June 2016, the transaction was substantially completed. See Note P to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks
The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and investment risk.

Interest Rate Risk
The Companies’ interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businesses manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $2$3 million. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas steam and electricsteam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.

Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businessesthe Clean Energy Businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note K to the ThirdSecond Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $61$55 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $54$48 million is for CECONY and $7 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businessesThe Clean Energy Businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts, generating assets and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of the portfolio due to changes in market prices, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their portfolio using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level and compare the measured VaR results against performance due to actual prices and stress test the portfolio each quarter using an assumed 30 percent price change from forecast. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for the portfolio, assuming a one-day holding period, for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, was as follows:

Credit Risk
The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses.Clean Energy Businesses. See the discussion of credit exposure in Note K to the ThirdSecond Quarter Financial Statements.

Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. plans and to the investments of the Clean Energy Businesses and Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method.

The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 5553 to 6563 percent equities and 35 to 4549 percent fixed income and other securities. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the pension plan investments consisted of 58 percent equity and 42 percent fixed income and other securities.

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. Generally, O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its rate plans.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
The Companies maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that they submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For each of the Companies, its management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on such evaluation, has concluded that the controls and procedures are effective to provide such reasonable assurance. Reasonable assurance is not absolute assurance, however, and there can be no assurance that any design of controls or procedures would be effective under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
There was no change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.
