NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

General

These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate consolidated financial statements of each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CECONY). CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, which are presented separately in the CECONY consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Clean Energy Businesses) and Con Edison Transmission, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Con Edison Transmission) in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to CECONY and O&R.

As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.

The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part 1, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiary, provides electric service in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey and gas service in southeastern New York. Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. has three subsidiaries: Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops, owns and operates renewable and energy infrastructure projects; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a company that provides energy-related products and services to wholesale customers; and Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a company that provides energy-related products and services to retail customers. Con Edison Transmission, Inc. invests in electric transmission facilities through its subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Transmission, LLC (CET Electric), and invests in gas pipeline and storage facilities through its subsidiary Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage, LLC (CET Gas).

(a) For the Utilities, this includes revenue from alternative revenue programs, such as the revenue decoupling mechanisms under their New York electric and gas rate plans.For the Clean Energy Businesses, this includes revenue from wholesale services.

(b) Included within the total for Renewables revenue at the Clean Energy Businesses is $3 millionand $100 millionfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, of revenue related to engineering, procurement and construction services.


(c)	Parent company and consolidation adjustments.

The Utilities have the obligation to deliver electricity, gas and steam energy to their customers. The Utilities recognize revenues as this performance obligation is satisfied over time as the Utilities deliver, and the customers simultaneously receive and consume, the energy. The amount of revenues recognized reflects the consideration the Utilities expect to receive in exchange for delivering the energy. Under their tariffs, the transaction price for full-service customers includes the Utilities’ energy cost and for all customers includes delivery charges determined based on customer class and in accordance with established tariffs and guidelines of the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) or the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), as applicable. Accordingly, there is no unsatisfied performance obligation associated with these customers. The transaction price is applied to the Utilities’ revenue generating activities through the customer billing process. Because energy is delivered over time, the Utilities use output methods that recognize revenue based on direct measurement of the value transferred, such as units delivered, which provides an accurate measure of value for the energy delivered. The Utilities accrue revenues at the end of each month for estimated energy delivered but not yet billed to customers. The Utilities defer over a 12-month period net interruptible gas revenues, other than those authorized by the NYSPSC to be retained by the Utilities, for refund to firm gas sales and transportation customers.

Con Edison Development recognizes revenue for the sale of energy from renewable electric production projects as energy is generated and billed to counterparties. Con Edison Development accrues revenues at the end of each month for energy generated but not yet billed to counterparties. Con Edison Energy recognizes revenue as energy is delivered and services are provided for managing energy supply assets leased from others and managing the dispatch, fuel requirements and risk management activities for generating plants and merchant transmission in the northeastern United States. Con Edison Solutions recognizes revenue for providing energy-efficiency services to government and commercial customers, and Con Edison Development recognizes revenue for engineering, procurement and construction services, under the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition.

Sales and profits on each percentage-of-completion contract are recorded each month based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenues recognized in prior periods (the ‘‘cost-to-cost’’ method). The impact of revisions of contract estimates, which may result from contract modifications, performance or other reasons, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made.

(a)

Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), which have been recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, which generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are completed.


(b)	Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, which are contract liabilities as defined in Topic 606.


(c)	Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for the period.


(d)	Of the $105 million in subtractions from unearned revenue, $50 million was included in the balance as of December 31, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations is $124 million, of which $87 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $37 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements.

Revenues are recorded as energy is delivered, generated or services are provided and billed to customers, except for services under percentage-of-completion contracts. Amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable - customers, with payment generally due the following month. Con Edison’s and the Utilities’ accounts receivable - customers balance also reflects the Utilities’ purchase of receivables from energy service companies to support retail choice programs. Accrued revenues not yet billed to customers are recorded as accrued unbilled revenues.

Utility Plant

At September 30, 2018, utility plant of Con Edison and CECONY included $102 million and $97 million, respectively, related to a May 2018 acquisition of software licenses. The software licenses asset is being amortized over a period of 15 years, and the estimated aggregate annual amortization expense for Con Edison and CECONY is $7 million. At September 30, 2018, the accumulated amortization for Con Edison and CECONY was $2 million and $1 million, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share

Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of its consolidated income statement. Basic EPS is 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 and 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:

Rate Plans

~~Rockland~~O&R New York – Electric ~~Company (RECO)~~

In ~~February 2017, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved a stipulation of settlement for a RECO~~May 2018, in O&R's electric rate ~~plan commencing March 2017. The following table contains~~proceeding, the NYSPSC staff recommended a ~~summary of the~~$10.6 million increase in O&R's electric ~~rate plan.~~

~~(a)~~	~~Effective until a new rate plan approved by the NJBPU goes into effect.~~


~~(b)~~	In January 2016, the NJBPU approved RECO’s plan to spend $15.7 million in capital over three years to harden its electric system against storms, the costs of which RECO, beginning in 2017, is collecting through a customer surcharge.

In September 2017, RECO, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities entered into a settlement agreement, which is subject to FERC approval, that increases RECO's annual transmission revenue requirement from $11.8 million to $17.7 million, effective April 2017. The revenue requirement reflects arates (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of ~~10.0 percent.~~8.6 percent). In June 2018, O&R filed an update to its requested rate increase, changing its request to a $30.4 million increase (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 9.75 percent).

O&R New York – Gas

In May 2018, in O&R's gas rate proceeding, the NYSPSC staff recommended a $6.7 million decrease in O&R's gas rates (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 8.6 percent). In June 2018, O&R filed an update to its requested rate increase, changing its request to a $0.5 million decrease (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 9.75 percent).

Other Regulatory Matters

OnIn August ~~16,~~and November 2017, the ~~New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC)~~NYSPSC issued ~~an order~~orders in its proceeding investigating an April 21, 2017 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway power outage. The ~~order~~orders indicated that the investigation determined that the outage was caused by a failure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station, which led to a loss of the subway signals, and that one of the secondary services to the MTA facility had been improperly rerouted and was not properly documented by the company. The ~~order~~orders also indicated that the loss of power to the subway station affected multiple subway lines and caused widespread delays across the subway system. Pursuant to the ~~order,~~orders, the company is required to take certain actions, including ~~performing inspections of~~inspecting, repairing and installing certain electrical equipment that serves the ~~MTA~~subway system, analyzing power supply and power quality events affecting the MTA’s signaling services, ~~providing new monitoring and other equipment~~ and filing monthly reports with the NYSPSC on all of the company's activities related to the ~~MTA~~subway system. Through September 30, 2018, the company incurred costs related to this matter of $219 million. Included in this amount is $30 million in capital and operating and maintenance costs reflected in the company's electric rate plan and $189 million deferred as a regulatory asset pursuant to the rate plan. The company, which plans to complete the required actions in 2018, expects to incur costs related to this matter during the remainder of 2018 of $51 million, which is expected to be deferred as a regulatory asset pursuant to the rate plan.

In ~~July~~December 2017, the ~~Chairman~~NYSPSC issued an order initiating a proceeding to study the potential effects of the ~~NYSPSC notified the company that the April 21,~~federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ~~subway power outage incident will likely result in a prudence review~~(TCJA) on income tax expense and liabilities of ~~the reasonableness of CECONY's actions and conduct. The order did not commence a prudence review or address cost recovery. Under the~~ New York State ~~Administrative Procedure Act,~~utilities and the regulatory treatment to preserve the resulting benefits for customers. Upon enactment of the TCJA in December 2017, CECONY and O&R re-measured their deferred tax assets and liabilities and accrued net regulatory liabilities for future income taxes of $3,513 million and $161 million, respectively. In September 2018, CECONY and O&R accrued additional net regulatory liabilities for future income tax of $51 million and $7 million, respectively (see Note I). Under the rate normalization requirements continued by the TCJA, the "protected" portion of their net regulatory liabilities related to certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits ($2,593 million and $133 million, respectively) is to be amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets. The remainder of the net regulatory liabilities, or "unprotected" portion, ($971 million and $35 million, respectively) is to be amortized as determined by the NYSPSC.

In August 2018, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to begin on January 1, 2019 to credit the company's electric and gas customers, and to begin on October 1, 2018 to credit its steam customers, with the net benefits of the TCJA as measured based on amounts reflected in its rate plans prior to the enactment of the TCJA. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes.

CECONY estimates that its credit of net benefits to its electric, gas and steam customers in 2019 will amount to $247 million, $102 million and $25 million, respectively (and that its credit to its steam customers in the fourth quarter of 2018 will be $6 million). CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 allocable to the company’s electric customers (estimated $304 million) are to be deferred and addressed in its next electric rate proceeding. CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 allocable to the company’s gas customers (estimated $82 million) and net benefits prior to October 1, 2018 allocable to the company’s steam customers ($15 million) are to be amortized over a three-year period. CECONY’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes, including both the protected and unprotected portions, allocable to the company’s electric customers ($2,514 million) is to continue to be deferred until its next electric rate proceeding and the amounts allocable to its gas and steam customers ($808 million and $190 million, respectively) are to be amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets (with the amortization period for the unprotected portion subject to review in its next gas and steam rate proceedings). O&R,

in its ongoing rate proceedings (see “Rate Plans,” above), intends to reflect its TCJA net benefits in its electric and gas rates beginning as of January 1, 2019, to amortize its net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 (estimated $22 million) over a three-year period and to amortize the protected portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes over the remaining lives of the related assets and the unprotected portion over a fifteen-year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Utilities deferred as regulatory liabilities estimated net benefits of the TCJA of $325 million, which represented approximately three quarters of their estimated annual net benefits.

In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order ~~could not remain~~initiating a focused operations audit of the income tax accounting of certain utilities, including CECONY and O&R.

In January 2018, the NJBPU issued an order initiating a proceeding to consider the TCJA. In June 2018, the NJBPU made permanent its previously approved $2.9 million interim decrease in ~~effect~~Rockland Electric Company's (RECO) electric base rates, effective April 1, 2018, and ordered RECO to pay to its customers in July 2018 its approximately $1 million of net benefits of the TCJA for ~~more than 90 days without further action~~the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and to begin in July 2018 to refund to its customers the unprotected portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes over a three-year period. Also in March 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order directing RECO to propose revisions to its transmission revenue requirement to reflect the TCJA. RECO’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes resulting from its re-measurement of its deferred tax asset and liabilities is $28 million (including $16 million subject to the normalization requirements continued by the TCJA).

In March 2018, Winter Storms Riley and Quinn caused damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution systems and interrupted service to approximately 209,000 CECONY customers, 93,000 O&R customers and 44,000 RECO customers. Through September 30, 2018, CECONY's costs related to March 2018 storms, including Riley and Quinn, amounted to $125 million, including operation and maintenance expenses reflected in its electric rate plan ($16 million), operation and maintenance expenses charged against a storm reserve pursuant to its electric rate plan ($76 million), capital expenditures ($27 million) and removal costs ($6 million). O&R and RECO had storm-related costs of $44 million and $17 million, respectively, most of which were deferred as regulatory assets pursuant to their electric rate plans. Recovery of CECONY and O&R storm-related costs is subject to review by the NYSPSC, ~~because it was adopted on an emergency basis. At its October 19, 2017 meeting,~~and recovery of RECO storm-related costs is subject to review by the ~~NYSPSC approved another order in this proceeding.~~NJBPU.

In July 2018, the NJBPU adopted NJBPU staff's recommendations to increase requirements for New Jersey utilities, including RECO, relating to pre-storm preparations, restoration of service and communications and outreach. The ~~company is~~Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss in connection with the storms.

In May 2018, FERC denied a complaint the NJBPU filed with FERC seeking the re-allocation to CECONY of certain PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) transmission costs that had been allocated to the company prior to April 2017 when transmission service provided to the company pursuant to the PJM open access transmission tariff terminated. The transmission service terminated because the company did not exercise its ~~possible costs related~~option to ~~this matter.~~continue the service following a series of requests PJM had submitted to FERC that substantially increased the charges for the transmission service. CECONY challenged each of these requests. FERC rejected all but one of CECONY’s protests. In June 2015 and May 2016, CECONY filed appeals of certain FERC decisions with the U.S. Court of Appeals. In July 2018, FERC established a settlement proceeding relating to the allocation of PJM transmission costs. Under CECONY’s electric rate plan, unless and until changed by the NYSPSC, the company will recover all charges incurred associated with the transmission service.

In July 2018, the NYSPSC commenced an investigation into the rupture of a CECONY steam main (see Note H).

In March 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for retirement benefits through ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The Companies adopted ASU 2017-07 beginning on January 1, 2018. The guidance requires that components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost be presented outside of operating income on consolidated income statements, and that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. Accordingly, the service cost components are included in the line "Other operations and maintenance" and the non-service cost components are included in the line “Other deductions” in the Companies' consolidated income statements. As permitted by a practical expedient under ASU 2017-07, the Companies applied the presentation requirements retrospectively for both pension and other postretirement benefit costs using amounts disclosed in prior-period financial statements as appropriate estimates.

Expected Contributions

Based on estimates as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Companies expect to make contributions to the pension plans during ~~2017~~2018 of ~~$450~~$472 million (of which ~~$412~~$433 million is to be contributed by CECONY). The Companies’ policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the qualified plan to the extent tax deductible and to also contribute to the non-qualified supplemental plans. During the first nine months of ~~2017,~~2018, the Companies contributed ~~$446~~$469 million to the pension plans (of which ~~$409~~$431 million was contributed by CECONY).

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 September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 were as follows:

Regulatory assets	$803	$823	$690	$711	$754	$793	$653	$677

Table of Contents

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 Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) prudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs.

Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 were as follows:

Insurance and other third-party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017. Con Edison~~2018 and ~~CECONY received $1 million in insurance recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.~~2017.

In ~~2016,~~2017, 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~~$2.7 billion and ~~$2.6~~$2.5 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 September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, Con Edison and CECONY have 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. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined on appeal may continue, to apply different standards 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. 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 September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 were as follows:

Manhattan Explosion and Fire

On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116^th and 117^th Streets 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. 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~~is providing $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory ~~liability, see Note B).~~liability) and will not recover from customers $126 million of costs for gas emergency response activities that it had previously incurred and expensed. Approximately eighty 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 September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident.

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

In July 2018, a CECONY steam main located on Fifth Avenue and 21^st street in Manhattan ruptured. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of buildings and streets for various periods. The NYSPSC has commenced an investigation. As of September 30, 2018, with respect to the incident, the company incurred estimated operating costs of $10 million for property damage, clean- up and other response costs and invested $7 million in capital and retirement costs. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies currently in force 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 to others in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to the incident. At September 30, 2018, the company had not accrued a liability 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. In May 2016, the transmission owners transferred certain projects to NY Transco, for which CET Electric made its required contributions. NY Transco has proposed other transmission projects in the New York Independent System Operator's competitive bidding process. These other projects are 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~~are guarantees for ~~$25~~$125 million from Con Edison on behalf of CET Gas in relation to a proposed gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia.

Energy Transactions — Con Edison guarantees payments on behalf of the 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.

Renewable Electric Production Projects — Con Edison, Con Edison Development, and Con Edison Solutions guarantee payments on behalf of their wholly-owned 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 operation of solar energy facilities and energy service projects of Con Edison Development and Con Edison 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 the agreement pursuant to which it sold its retail electric supply business. 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 decreased to $175 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $270 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017 from $314~~2017. CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $125 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37 percent and 39 percent, respectively. The decrease in Con Edison's effective tax rate is primarily due to lower state income taxes, offset in part by a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items.

~~CECONY’s income tax expense increased to~~2018 from $242 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense for both Companies is due primarily to lower income before income tax expense, the lower corporate federal income tax rate of 21 percent in 2018 resulting from the enactment of the TCJA and an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA. Con Edison’s decrease in income tax expense was offset in part by $42 million of income tax expense which, as discussed below, resulted from newly issued guidance on the TCJA and the subsequent re-measurement of deferred tax assets associated with Con Edison’s 2017 ~~from $226 million~~federal net operating loss (NOL) carryover into 2018.

Reconciliation of the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the prevailing statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016. CECONY's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 38 percent and 37 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 and lower research and development credits, offset in part by lower state income taxes.~~as follows:

Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $330 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $599 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017 from $602~~2017. CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $274 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37 percent. The effective tax rate remained unchanged as lower state income taxes were offset by a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items.

~~CECONY’s income tax expense increased to~~2018 from $551 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense for both Companies is due primarily to lower income before income tax expense, the lower corporate federal income tax rate of 21 percent in 2018 resulting from the enactment of the TCJA and an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA. Con Edison’s decrease in income tax expense was offset in part by $42 million of income tax expense which, as discussed below, resulted from newly issued guidance on the TCJA and the subsequent re-measurement of deferred tax assets associated with Con Edison’s 2017 ~~from $491 million~~federal NOL carryover into 2018.

At December 31, 2017, the Companies recorded provisional income tax amounts in its accounting for certain effects of the provisions of the TCJA as allowed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118). SAB 118 allowed a one year period for companies to finalize the provisional amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017. In August 2018, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations that clarified provisions in TCJA on the allowance for additional first-year depreciation for qualified property of regulated public utilities placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2017. Under this guidance, the Utilities deducted $477 million in additional depreciation in Con ~~Edison anticipates~~Edison’s 2017 federal income tax return.

Uncertain Tax Positions

In March 2018, Con Edison received approval of its tax refunds by the Joint Committee on Taxation for tax years 2012 through 2015. The approval effectively settled approximately $3 million in uncertain federal tax positions. Federal income tax returns for 2016 and 2017 remain under examination.

At September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was ~~$41~~$11 million ($215 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve within the next twelve months approximately ~~$35~~$10 million ($249 million, net of federal taxes) of ~~its uncertain~~various federal and state uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax ~~positions within~~examinations, resolution of state refund claims and expiration of statute of limitations, of which the ~~next twelve months, including $21 million ($15 million, net of federal taxes), which,~~entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con ~~Edison’s~~Edison's effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately ~~$18 million ($13 million, net of federal taxes), including $4~~$3 million, which, 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 ~~$25~~$11 million ($1810 million, net of federal taxes).

~~Table of Contents~~

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 nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense and no penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

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 September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, margin deposits for Con Edison ($57 million and $7$12 million, respectively) and CECONY ($56 million and $7$11 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.


~~(c)~~	~~Does not include $(1) million for interest rate swap.~~

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. The 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 reporting period in which they occur. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

(b)	Excludes electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts, which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.

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 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 September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, Con Edison and CECONY had ~~$80~~$107 million and $8$17 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of ~~$23~~$44 million with independent system operators, $25 million with investment-grade counterparties, ~~$23~~$22 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties ~~$19 million with independent system operators~~ and ~~$15~~$16 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $10 million with investment-grade counterparties and $7 million with commodity exchange ~~brokers and $1 million with investment-grade counterparties.~~brokers.

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 September 30, ~~2017:~~2018:


(Millions of Dollars)	Con Edison (a)		CECONY (a)		Con Edison (a)		CECONY (a)

(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 Clean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post additional collateral of ~~$11~~$1 million at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. 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 liability 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 September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of ~~$13~~$22 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 ~~immaterial as of September 30, 2017 and a liability~~an asset of $1 million as of September 30, 2018 and an immaterial amount as of December 31, ~~2016~~2017 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 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,~~Con Edison and CECONY had $1 million of net commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 ~~and 3 for~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of December 31, 2017 to less than three years as of September 30, 2018. Con Edison and ~~for~~CECONY had $11 million and $10 million, respectively, of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2017 to less than three years as of December 31, 2017.

(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 September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, 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.

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. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. The risk management group reports to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities regulators. Unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations.

For the Clean Energy Businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ~~(immaterial for both periods)~~($1 million loss and immaterial) and purchased power costs ~~($4~~(immaterial and $4 million ~~gain and $5 million loss)~~gain) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively.

Note M —– Variable Interest Entities

Con Edison enters into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with various entities. As a result of these arrangements, Con Edison retains or may retain a variable interest in these entities.

CECONY has an ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP, a potential variable interest entity (VIE). In ~~April~~ 2017, ~~CECONY's long-term electricity purchase agreement with Cogen Technologies Linden Venture, LP, another potential VIE, expired. In 2016, requests were~~a request was made of ~~these counterparties~~this counterparty for information necessary to determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information was not made available. The payments for ~~these contracts~~this contract constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential ~~VIEs.~~VIE.

The following table summarizes the VIEs in which Con Edison Development has entered into as of September 30, ~~2017:~~2018:

(a) With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison’s ownership interest is 50 percent and these projects are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison is not the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the entities are shared equally between Con Edison Development and third parties. Con Edison’s ownership interest in Texas Solar 4 is 80 percent and is consolidated in the financial statements. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 is held by Con Edison Development.

(b) Represents Con Edison Development’s ownership interest in the project.

(c) For investments accounted for under the equity method, maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of the investment on the consolidated balance sheet. For consolidated investments, such as Texas Solar 4, maximum exposure is equal to the net assets of the project on the consolidated balance sheet less any applicable noncontrolling interest ($7 million for Texas Solar 4). Con Edison did not provide any financial or other support during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 that was not previously contractually required.


(d)	In September 2018, a Con Edison Development subsidiary agreed to purchase Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, subsidiaries of which have a 50 percent ownership interest in these projects. Upon the closing of the acquisition, Con Edison expects to account for these projects on a consolidated basis. See Note O.

Note N —– 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. Amendments were issued subsequently to clarify key areas including principal/agent considerations, performance obligations, licensing, sales taxes, noncash consideration, and 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, however, the Companies plan to adopt the new standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

Under the new standard, companies may use either of the 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

~~Table of Contents~~

~~2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Companies anticipate using the modified retrospective approach.~~

~~The Companies have completed their analyses of the impact of the new standard on the majority of 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 customers under ASU 2014-09 will be equivalent to revenue from 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.

Con Edison has also completed its evaluation for the majority of the revenue at the Clean Energy Businesses, including revenue from the sale of energy-related products and services to retail customers, revenue from operating renewable and energy infrastructure projects, and revenue from the sale of renewable energy credits. For such revenues, Con Edison expects that the revenue from contracts with customers under ASU 2014-09 will not be materially different from revenue recorded consistent with current practice. Consequently, Con Edison does 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 the remaining revenue at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses on the Companies' financial position, results of operations and liquidity as well as the additional disclosures and related controls required under the new standard, and anticipate completing such reviews during the fourth quarter of 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amendments on financial reporting of leasing transactions through ~~ASU~~Accounting Standards Update (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). The Utilities, as regulated entities, are permitted to continue to recognize expense using the timing that conforms to the regulatory rate treatment. 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.~~“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The amendments are effective, and the Companies plan to adopt the amendments, 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~~

Upon adoption of the ~~existing portfolio of leases at implementation, for leases currently classified as operating leases,~~amendments, the Companies expect to ~~recognize on~~elect the ~~statements~~following practical expedients: (1) for leases commenced prior to adoption date, the following three transition expedients that will allow the Companies to not reassess: (a) whether expired contracts contain leases; (b) the lease classification for expired leases and (c) the initial direct costs for existing leases; (2) if elected for an underlying asset class, an expedient that will allow the Companies to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases and an expedient that will allow the Companies to account for lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component; (3) an expedient that allows the use of ~~financial position right-of-use assets~~hindsight to determine lease term; and ~~lease liabilities.

CECONY

Electric

CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.4 million customers in all of New York City (except a part of Queens) and most of Westchester County, an approximately 660 square mile service area with a population of more than nine million.

During the summer of ~~2017,~~2018, electric peak demand in CECONY's service area was ~~12,321~~12,686 MW (which occurred on ~~July 20, 2017)~~August 29, 2018). At design conditions, electric peak demand in the company's service area would have been approximately ~~13,270~~13,232 MW in ~~2017~~2018 compared to the company's forecast of ~~13,470~~13,300 MW. The company's five-year forecast of average annual growth of the electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions isremained unchanged at approximately 0.1 percent for ~~2018~~2019 to ~~2022 (as compared to approximately 0.2 percent for 2017 to 2021).~~2023.

Gas

CECONY delivers gas to approximately 1.1 million customers in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and most of Westchester County.

In ~~May 2017,~~June 2018, the company decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the peak gas demand in its

service area at design conditions from approximately ~~2.3 percent (for 2017 to 2021) to~~ 1.6 percent (for 2018 to 2022) to 1.3 percent (for 2019 to

2023). The decrease reflects, among other things, that in rolling the forecast forward a year, another year of ~~oil-to-gas~~oil-to gas conversions has been completed and fewer opportunities to convert remain.

Steam

CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in the United States by producing and delivering approximately ~~19,500~~21,150 MMlb of steam annually to approximately ~~1,640~~1,600 customers in parts of Manhattan.

In June 2018, the company's five-year forecast of average annual change in the peak steam demand in its

service area at design conditions remained unchanged at approximately (0.5) percent for 2019 to 2023.

O&R

Electric

O&R and its utility subsidiary, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) (together referred to herein as O&R) provide electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey, an approximately 1,300 square mile service area.

During the summer of ~~2017,~~2018, electric peak demand in O&R's service area was ~~1,410~~1,470 MW (which occurred on ~~June 13, 2017)~~July 2, 2018). At design conditions, electric peak demand in the company's service area would have been approximately ~~1,615~~1,603 MW in ~~2017~~2018 compared to the company's forecast of ~~1,625~~1,620 MW. The company’s five-year forecast of average annual ~~growth of~~change in the electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions is approximately (0.3) percent for 2019 to 2023 (as compared to flat for 2018 to ~~2022 (as compared to approximately (0.1) percent for 2017 to 2021)~~2022).

Gas

O&R delivers gas to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern New York.

In June 2018, the company increased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the peak gas demand in its

service area at design conditions from approximately 0.3 percent (for 2018 to 2022) to 0.6 percent (for 2019 to

2023), primarily due to increase in average customer usage and growth in the number of customers.

Clean Energy Businesses

Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy) and Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions).

~~(a)~~

Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect the Companies' results of operations.

Table of Contents

Operating revenues ~~decreased $88~~increased $102 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due primarily to ~~lower purchased power expenses ($93 million), offset by~~ higher revenues from the electric rate plan ($2781 million), higher purchased power expenses ($72 million) and fuel expenses ($10 million), offset in part by the reduction in other operating revenues resulting from the deferral as a regulatory liability of estimated net benefits for the 2018 period under the TCJA (see “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements) ($76 million).

Purchased power expenses ~~decreased $93~~increased $72 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due to ~~lower~~higher unit costs ($37 million) and purchased volumes ($~~66 million) and unit costs ($27~~35 million).

Fuel expenses increased $3$10 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due to higher unit costs ($69 million)~~, offset by lower~~ and purchased volumes from the company's electric generating facilities ($31 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses decreased ~~$31~~$1 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due primarily to lower ~~pension and other postretirement benefits~~municipal infrastructure support costs ($385 million), stock based compensation ($4 million) and ~~environmental costs~~a lower reserve for uncollectibles ($63 million), offset in part by higher ~~surcharges for assessments and fees that are collected in revenues from customers~~storm related costs ($67 million) and ~~uncollectible expense~~consultant costs ($54 million).

Depreciation and amortization increased ~~$15~~$16 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due primarily to higher electric utility plant balances.

Taxes, other than income taxes increased $4$38 million in the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared with the ~~2016~~2017 period due primarily to higher property taxes ($1136 million)~~, offset by lower~~ and state and local taxes ($58 million), offset in part by deferral of under-collected property taxes due to new property tax rates for fiscal year 2017-2018 ($6 million).

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect primarily 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. Measures that promote distributed energy 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. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. For the Utilities, the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21 percent under the TCJA is expected to result in decreased cash flows from operating activities. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

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.~~liabilities, and accrued unbilled revenue. 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.

Capital Requirements and Resources

Contractual Obligations

Con Edison’s material obligations to make payments pursuant to contracts totaled $46,524 million and $43,822 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase at September 30, 2018 is due primarily to an increase in long-term debt, including interest ($1,916 million). See "Cash Flows from Financing Activities,” above. Also, in September 2018, a Con Edison ~~has decreased its estimates~~Development subsidiary agreed to purchase Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC for ~~capital requirements for the retirement of long-term securities for 2018 from $1,688~~$1,540 million (subject to ~~$1,288 million. The decrease reflects the $400 million prepayment of a variable rate term loan that was to mature in 2018.~~closing adjustments, including working capital). See Note CO to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Capital Resources

Con Edison plans to meet its 2018 capital requirements through internally-generated funds and the issuance of securities. The company has increased its estimates of the amount of common equity and long-term debt it plans to issue in 2018 to reflect funding required for the acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC (see Note O to the Third Quarter Financial Statements). The company has also increased the amount of long-term debt it plans to issue at the Utilities. The company’s financing plans now include: the issuance of between $1,800 million and $2,400 million of long-term debt at the Utilities (of which the Utilities already have issued $1,125 million in 2018); the issuance of up to $825 million of long-term debt secured by ownership interests in the renewable electric production projects being acquired or, pending the issuance of such debt, other borrowings to fund the acquisition; and the issuance of additional debt secured by its existing renewable electric production projects. The plans now also include the issuance of up to $1,165 million of common equity, including $715 million to fund the acquisition, in addition to equity under its dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and long term incentive plans.

~~Prepayments~~

~~The increase in prepayments for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily the portion allocable to the 2017 fourth quarter of CECONY's July 2017 payment of its New York City semi-annual property taxes.~~

~~Non-Utility Property, Less Accumulated Depreciation~~

The increase in non-utility property, less accumulated depreciation, for Con Edison reflects the completion of construction of Con Edison Development's Upton County Solar renewable electric production project (see Con Edison Development, below).

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, as measured at December 31, 2017, of the pension and other retiree benefit plans ~~as measured at December 31, 2016,~~ in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the ~~year’s~~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 ~~2017.~~2018. See Notes E and F to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

~~Deferred Income Taxes and Unamortized Investment Tax Credits~~Regulatory Asset for MTA Power Reliability Costs

The increase in the ~~liability~~regulatory asset for MTA power reliability deferral reflects costs incurred and deferred ~~income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily bonus depreciation~~as a regulatory asset in ~~2017, partially offset by~~ the ~~increase~~2018 period. See “Other Regulatory Matters” 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 IB to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Other Receivables and Other Deferred Charges and Noncurrent Assets

The increase in other receivables for Con Edison and CECONY reflects costs related to aid provided by the Utilities in the restoration of power in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of September 2017 hurricanes that have been billed to the appropriate authorities. As of September 30, 2018, Con Edison and CECONY other receivables' balances related to such costs were $100 million and $95 million, respectively. The change in other deferred charges and noncurrent assets for Con Edison and CECONY reflects such costs that have already been billed.

Table of Contents

Regulatory Liability for TCJA Net Benefits

The changes in the regulatory liability for TCJA net benefits were due to the Utilities’ deferral of estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Asset for Deferred Storm Costs and Other Deferred Credits and Noncurrent Liabilities

The changes in the regulatory asset for deferred storm costs and other deferred credits and noncurrent liabilities were due primarily to storm-related costs that were deferred as a regulatory asset or charged against a storm reserve. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the Third 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.

Deferred Income Taxes and Unamortized Investment Tax Credits

The increase in deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits reflects primarily accelerated tax depreciation (including the Utilities' 2017 return-to-accrual adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2018) and repair deductions. See Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Matters

In ~~March 2017,~~July 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order adopting an offshore wind renewable energy standard. NYSERDA is to conduct offshore wind project solicitations in 2018 and 2019 for 800 MW in total and purchase offshore wind renewable energy credits (ORECs) from developers under 20 to 25 year contracts. Load serving entities, such as CECONY and O&R, will be required to purchase ORECs from NYSERDA beginning in 2025 when projects are first expected to begin operation.

In July 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order that ~~changes~~authorizes CECONY to expand its energy efficiency programs for gas customers. In August 2018, the ~~way distributed energy resources are compensated and begins to phase out net energy metering. In New York, net energy metering compensates kilowatt-hours exported~~NYSPSC issued an order approving, with modifications, CECONY’s Gas Demand Response Pilot program, including a three-year budget of $5.1 million. Other smart solutions proposed for natural gas customers, which CECONY addressed in its September 2017 petition to the ~~electric distribution system at~~NYSPSC, are expected to be further considered by the ~~full service rate (that is~~NYSPSC. In September 2018, CECONY requested NYSPSC approval of a six-year $305 million budget for a portfolio of proposed non-pipeline gas projects including targeted energy efficiency and thermal electrification measures, three renewable gas production ~~plus delivery plus taxes~~plants and ~~fees). To provide a gradual transition, the NYSPSC allowed all existing resources~~two 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 new policy establishes a 2 percent limit on bill increases, reducing the shifting of avoided distribution costs to non-participating residential customers that would have occurred under net energy metering.

In October 2017, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council requested the NYSPSC to prohibit CECONY from recovering costs under the company’s 20-year transportation contract for 250,000 dekatherms per day of capacity on the Mountain Valley Pipeline unless CECONY demonstrates compliance with a public interest standard.five gas storage facilities in Westchester County.

Environmental Matters

In May 2017, a transformer 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 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 material adverse effect on its 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 for the protection of, the environment.

In June 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 has indicated that it will notify the 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 an administrative settlement agreement and order on consent the EPA issued to them in 2011, have been performing a remedial investigation of the site. The EPA indicated that sampling events have shown the sediments in Newtown Creek to be contaminated with a wide variety of hazardous substances including PCBs, metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic contaminants. 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 issuance of its record of decision selecting a remedy for the site by late 2020. CECONY is unable to estimate its exposure to liability for the Newtown Creek site.

~~In the fourth quarter of~~ 2016, CECONY and another utility responded to a reported dielectric fluid leak at a New Jersey marina on the Hudson River associated with one or two underwater transmission lines, the New Jersey portion of which is owned and operated by the other utility and the New York portion of which is owned and operated by CECONY. ~~During the third quarter of~~In 2017, ~~after the marina owner had cleared substantial debris from its collapsed pier,~~ a dielectric fluid leak was found ~~and repaired~~ on one of the underwater transmission lines and repaired. In August 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared the leak response complete. CECONY and the other utility are disputing whether to return the transmission lines to operation. In 2017, the other utility sued the marina owner, whose pier had collapsed on the transmission lines, seeking, among other things, recovery of its response and repair costs. In February 2018, the marina owner filed claims against both the other utility and CECONY seeking recovery of its alleged costs associated with this matter (including an interim demand for approximately $18.4 million). In April 2018, the other utility responded to the marina owner’s counterclaims and filed cross-claims against CECONY. In June 2018, CECONY filed counter-claims against the other utility in the court action. In September 2018, FERC dismissed a complaint filed by the other utility in which it had requested that FERC order CECONY to cooperate with the other utility to remove all of the dielectric fluid from the transmission lines and remove the lines. In October 2018, the ~~fourth quarter~~other utility filed a request for rehearing at FERC with respect to its decision to dismiss the

In August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing coal-fired electric utility generating units. The Companies do not own any such generating units. The ACE rule, which would replace the Clean Power Plan the EPA issued in 2015 (and proposed to repeal in 2017), would establish emission guidelines for states to use when developing plans to limit GHG emissions from the generating units.

CET Electric

In June 2018, the NYISO management committee supported the NYISO Staff recommendation to the NYISO Board of Directors to select two projects that were submitted under the NYISO’s FERC-approved public policy planning process by developers other than NY Transco. The NYISO Board is expected to make its final decision after engaging in additional review. CET Electric owns a 45.7 percent interest in NY Transco.

CET Gas

As a result of challenges to certain federal and state regulatory approvals for the Mountain Valley Pipeline, construction has been delayed on the project. In October 2018, Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC indicated that the project has an estimated total cost of $4,600 million and is targeted to be fully in-service by the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. CET Gas owns a 12.5 percent interest in the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

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 September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $2$6 million. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas and steam 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 the Clean Energy Businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note K to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of ~~$66~~$78 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which ~~$60~~$71 million is for CECONY and $6$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.

Table of Contents

The 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 nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively, was as follows:

Credit Risk

Investment Risk

The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans and to the investments of the Clean Energy Businesses and Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method. See Notes M and O to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 53 to 63 percent equities and 35 to 49 percent fixed income and other securities. At September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, 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.

Material Contingencies

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For information about the Companies’ primary market risks associated with activities in derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, see “Financial and Commodity Market Risks,” in Part I, Item 2 of this report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

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.
