Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectation and not facts. Words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time. Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.

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 Con Edison’s other utility subsidiary, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses (discussed below), 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, 2009 (the Form 10-K) and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part I, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly ReportReports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periodperiods ended March 31, 2010 (the First Quarter Form 10-Q) and June 30, 2010 (the Second Quarter Form 10-Q). Information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, the First Quarter Form 10-Q and the FirstSecond Quarter Form 10-Q referred to in these notes is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into these notes the information to which reference is made.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Consistent with current industry practice, the Companies are presenting income tax expense as one item on their consolidated income statements (instead of separate items in the operating income and other income sections of the consolidated income statements).

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 subsidiaries, provides electric service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and gas service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania. Con Edison has the following competitive energy businesses: Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a retail energy services company that sells electricity and also offers energy-related services; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a wholesale energy supply and services company; and Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops and participates in infrastructure projects.

Note B — Regulatory Matters

Reference is made to “Accounting Policies” in Note A and “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note B to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q and Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

Rate Agreements

O&R — Electric

In July 2010, O&R filed a request with the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) for an increase in the rates it charges for electric service rendered in New York, effective July 2011, of $61.7 million. The filing reflects a return on common equity of 11 percent and a common equity ratio of 49.9 percent. Among other things, the filing proposes continuation of the current provisions with respect to recovery from customers of the cost of purchased power and with respect to the deferral of differences between actual expenses allocable to the electric business for pensions and other postretirement benefits, environmental, research and developmental cost to the amounts for such costs reflected in electric rates. The filing also includes an alternative proposal for a three-year electric rate plan with annual rate increases of $47.1 million effective July 2011, and $33.2 million effective July 2012 and 2013. The multi-year filing reflects a return on common equity of 11.55 percent.

In May 2010, Rockland Electric Company (a regulated utility subsidiary of O&R) (RECO), the Division of Rate Counsel, Staff of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) and certain other parties entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to the company's August 2009 request to increase the rates that it can charge its customers for electric delivery service. The stipulation, which was approved by the Board of the NJBPU, provides for an electric rate increase, effective May 17, 2010, of $9.8 million. The stipulation reflects a return on common equity of 10.3 percent and a common equity ratio of approximately 50 percent. The stipulation continues current provisions with respect to recovery from customers of the cost of purchased power and does not provide for reconciliation of actual expenses to amounts reflected in electric rates for pension and other postretirement benefit costs.

CECONY — Gas

In September 2010, the NYSPSC issued an order approving the May 2010 CECONY, the staff of the NYSPSC and other parties entered into a Joint Proposal with respect tocovering the company’s rates CECONY can charge its customers for gas delivery service.

The Joint Proposal, which is subject to NYSPSC approval, coversservice during the three-year period October 2010 through September 2013 and2013. Among other things, the Joint Proposal provides for gas base rate increases of $47.1 million, $47.9 million and $46.7 million, effective October 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Joint Proposal reflects the following major items:

A weighted average cost of capital of 7.46 percent, reflecting:

18


return on common equity of 9.6 percent, assuming achievement by the company of cost avoidance for productivity and “austerity”. The unspecified austerity measures assume reductions in costs of $6 million, $4 million and $2 million in the rate years ending September 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively;

cost of long-term debt of 5.57 percent;

common equity ratio of 48 percent; and

average rate base of $3,027 million, $3,245 million and $3,434 million for the rate years ending September 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Deferral as a regulatory liability of the revenue requirement impact (i.e., return on investment, depreciation and income taxes) of the amount, if any, by which actual average net plant balances allocable to the company’s gas business are less than the amounts reflected in rates: $2,934 million, $3,148 million and $3,346 million for the rate years ending September 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Sharing with gas customers of any actual earnings, excluding the effects of any penalties and certain other items, above specified percentage returns on equity (based on actual average common equity ratio, subject to a 50 percent maximum), on a cumulative basis over the term ofFor additional information about the Joint Proposal, calculated as follows:

forsee “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the rate year ending September 2011, the company will allocate to customers the revenue requirement equivalent of 60 percent of earnings above 10.35 percent up to and including 11.59 percent, 75 percent of earnings equal to orfinancial statements in excess of 11.6 percent up to and including 12.59 percent and 90 percent of earnings equal to or in excess of 12.6 percent;

for the rate years ending September 2012 and 2013, the company will allocate to customers the revenue requirement equivalent of 60 percentPart I, Item 1 of the earnings in excess of 10.1 percent up to and including 11.59 percent, 75 percent of such earnings equal to or in excess of 11.6 percent up to and including 12.59 percent and 90 percent of such earnings equal to or in excess of 12.6 percent;Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

the customers’ share of any such earnings and 50 percent of the company’s share, appropriately adjusted for taxes, would be applied to reduce regulatory assets for pensions and other post-retirement benefits and other costs; and

in the event the company does not file for a rate increase to take effect in October 2013, the earnings sharing levels for the rate year ending September 2013 will continue in effect, implemented on an annual basis, until base rates are reset by the NYSPSC.

Deferral as a regulatory asset or liability, as the case may be, of differences between the actual level of certain expenses, including, among others, expenses for pension and other postretirement benefits, environmental remediation, property taxes and long-term debt, and amounts for those expenses reflected in rates (with deferral for the difference in property taxes limited to 80 percent of the difference, subject to annual maximum for the remaining 20 percent of the difference of not more than the equivalent in revenue requirement of a 10 basis point impact on return on common equity).

Continuation of provisions pursuant to which the company will retain net revenues from non-firm customer transactions. In each year of the rate plan, the company will retain up to $58 million of any such revenues and 25 percent of any such revenues above $58 million. If such revenues are below $58 million in a rate year, the company will accrue a regulatory asset equal to (A) the amount by which such revenues are less than $33 million plus (B) 80 percent of the difference between $58 million and the level of such revenues at or above $33 million.

Continuation of the provisions pursuant to which the effects of weather on gas delivery revenues during each billing cycle are reflected in customer bills for that billing cycle, and a revenue decoupling mechanism under which the company’s actual gas delivery revenues, inclusive of any such

19


weather adjustment, would be compared, on a periodic basis, with the delivery revenues reflected in rates, with the difference accrued as a regulatory liability (for refund to gas customers) or a regulatory asset (for recovery from gas customers), as the case may be.

Continuation of the rate provisions pursuant to which the company recovers its costs of purchased gas from gas customers.

Continuation of provisions for potential penalties (up to $12.6 million annually) if certain gas customer service and system performance targets are not met.

Continued collection from gas customers of $32 million on an annual basis subject to potential refund (see “Other Regulatory Matters” below and “Investigation of Contractor Payments” in Note H.

CECONY — Steam

In September 2010, the NYSPSC issued an order approving the May 2010 CECONY, the NYSPSC staff and other parties entered into a Joint Proposal with respect tocovering the company’s rates CECONY can charge its customers for steam service. The Joint Proposal, which is subject to NYSPSC approval, coversdelivery service during the three-year period October 2010 through September 2013 and2013. Among other things, the Joint Proposal provides for steam base rate increases of $49.5 million, effective October 2010 and 2011, and $17.8 million, effective October 2012, with an additional $31.7 million to be collected through a surcharge in the rate year ending September 2013. The NYSPSC order requires CECONY, in its next steam rate case filing, to propose a phase-in over a period of not more than seven years of an increase in the allocation to steam customers of the fuel costs for the company’s East River Repowering Project (ERRP, which cogenerates electricity and steam) that are above the market value of the electric energy generated by ERRP. For additional information about the Joint Proposal, reflectssee “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the following major items:

The same weighted average cost of capital, return on common equity (assuming, for the steam business, achievement of unspecified reductionsfinancial statements in costs of $4.5 million, $3 million and $1.5 million in the rate years ending September 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively), cost of long-term debt and common equity ratio as discussed above with respect to CECONY’s gas business and average steam rate base of $1,589 million, $1,603 million and $1,613 million for the rate years ending September 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Deferral as a regulatory liabilityPart I, Item 1 of the revenue requirement impact of the amount, if any, by which actual average net plant balances allocable to the company’s steam business are less than the amounts reflected in rates for the respective category for each rate year. The amounts reflected in rates are:Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

Continuation of provisions for potential penalties (up to approximately $1 million annually) if certain steam customer service and system performance targets are not met.

Other Regulatory Matters

In February 2009, the NYSPSC commenced a proceeding to examine the prudence of certain CECONY expenditures (see “Investigation“Investigations of ContractorVendor Payments” in Note H). Pursuant to NYSPSC orders, a portion of the company’s revenues (effective April 2010, $249 million, $32 million and $6 million on an annual basis for electric, gas and steam service, respectively) is being collected subject to potential refund to customers. At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the company had collected an estimated $394$464 million from customers subject to potential refund in connection with this proceeding. In October 2010, a NYSPSC consultant reported its $21 million provisional assessment, which the company has disputed, of potential overcharges for construction work. The

19


potential overcharges related to transactions that involved certain employees who were arrested and a contractor that performed work for the company. The NYSPSC’s consultant is expected to continue to review the company’s expenditures. The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, of any such refund that may be required in connection with this proceeding and, accordingly, has not established a regulatory liability for a refund.

“Net electric deferrals” in Juneat September 30, 2010 represent the remaining unamortized balance of certain regulatory assets and liabilities of CECONY that were combined effective April 1, 2010 and are being amortized to income, in accordance with CECONY’s April 2010 rate plan. At December 2009, “net electric deferrals” represented the remaining unamortized balance of certain regulatory assets and liabilities of CECONY that were combined effective April 1, 2005 and were amortized to income in accordance with CECONY’s April 2009 rate plan through March 2010.

Note C — Long-Term DebtCapitalization

Reference is made to Note C to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note C to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q and Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

In June 2010, CECONY issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.45 percent debentures, Series 2010 A, due 2020 and $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.70 percent debentures, Series 2010 B, due 2040.

In JulyAugust 2010, O&R issued a notice to change the method used to determine the interest it is required to pay on$55 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50 percent debentures, Series 2010 A, due 2015 and $115 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50 percent debentures, Series 2010 B, due 2040. In addition, O&R purchased, and had cancelled, its $55 million aggregate principal amount of Series 1994 A variable-rate, tax-exempt debt. The debt (which currently bears a variable rate, determined weekly) is subject to mandatory tender for purchasedue 2014.

In October 2010, Con Edison issued 6.3 million common shares resulting in August 2010. O&R expects to fund the paymentnet proceeds of the purchase price for the debt either from$305 million, the proceeds of the reoffering of the debt (with a fixed interest rate) or, if O&R determines to have the debt cancelled, the sale of other debt securities.which were invested by Con Edison in CECONY.

Expected Contributions

Based on estimates as of December 31, 2009, the Companies are not required under funding regulations and laws to make any contributions to the pension plan during 2010. The Companies’ policy is to fund their accounting cost to the extent tax deductible, therefore, Con Edison expects to make discretionary contributions indeductible. During the first nine months of 2010, ofthe Companies contributed $434 million includingto the pension plan (of which $397 million for CECONY (of which CECONYwas contributed $279 million in the first six months of 2010)by CECONY). During the first sixnine months of 2009, CECONYthe Companies contributed $184$282 million to the pension plan.plan (of which $244 million was contributed by CECONY). During the second quarter of 2010, the Companies funded $25 million for the non-qualified supplemental pension plans. The Companies are continuing to monitor changes to funding and tax laws that may impact future pension plan funding requirements.

Health Care Reform

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 became law. The Companies are assessing the impact of these laws. In the first half of 2010, the Companies reduced their deferred tax asset to reflect the laws’ repeal, effective 2013, of the deduction for federal income tax purposes of the portion of the cost of an employer’s retiree prescription drug coverage for which the employer received a benefit under the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003

23


(see Note F to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). For CECONY, the reductions in its deferred tax asset of $33 million had no effect on net income because a regulatory asset in a like amount on a pre-tax basis was established to reflect future recovery from customers of the increased cost of its retiree prescription drug coverage resulting from the loss of the tax deduction. For O&R’s New York electric and gas services the reductions in their deferred tax assets of $3 million had no effect on net income because a regulatory asset in a like amount on a pre-tax basis was established to reflect future recovery from customers of the increased cost of their retiree prescription drug coverage resulting from the loss of the tax deduction. For RECO and Pike County Light & Power Company (Pike), the reduction in their deferred tax assets of $1 million was taken as a charge to net income. The impact on Con Edison’s deferred tax assets for its other businesses was not material to its results of operations.

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

22


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 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 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

 

 Con Edison CECONY Con Edison CECONY 
(Millions of Dollars) 2010 2009  2010 2009 2010 2009  2010 2009 

Accrued Liabilities:

        

Manufactured gas plant sites

 $190 $164    $105 $112 $193   $164   $109   $112  

Other Superfund Sites

Total

 $236 $212   $151 $159 $239   $212   $154   $159  

Regulatory assets

 $417 $388   $327 $329 $421   $388   $333   $329  

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for many 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 will be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. Under their current rate agreements, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certain site investigation and remediation costs.

Insurance recoveries related to Superfund Sites for the threeEnvironmental remediation costs incurred and six months ended June 30, 2010 were immaterial. There were no insurance recoveries received related to Superfund Sites forduring the three and six

24


nine months ended June 30, 2009. Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

In 2006, CECONY estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other manufactured gas plant-related environmental contaminants could range up to $1.1 billion. In 2007, O&R estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, each of which has been investigated, the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the remediation of such contaminants could range up to $115 million. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at the sites that have not yet been investigated and additional assumptions about these and the other sites regarding the extent of contamination and the type and extent of remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

23


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. In 2008, CECONY estimated that its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years is $9 million. The estimate was based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Actual experience may be materially different. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate agreements, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Note H Other Material Contingencies

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

In July 2007, a CECONY steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured. It has been reported that one person died and others were injured as a result of the incident. Several buildings in the area were damaged. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of several buildings and streets for various periods. Approximately 100 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has not accrued a liability for the suits. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover most of the company’s costs, which the company is unable to estimate, but which could be substantial, to satisfy its liability to others in connection with the incident.

25


InvestigationInvestigations of ContractorVendor Payments

In January 2009, CECONY commenced an internal investigation relating to the arrests of certain employees and retired employees (all of whom have since pleaded guilty) for accepting kickbacks from contractors that performed construction work for the company. The company has retained a law firm, which has retained an accounting firm, to assist in the company’s investigation. The company is providing information to governmental authorities, which consider the company to be a victim of unlawful conduct, in connection with their investigation of the arrested employees and contractors. The company has terminated its employment of the arrested employees and its contracts with the contractors (one of which is suing the company for substantial damages claiming wrongful termination). In February 2009, the NYSPSC commenced a proceeding that, among other things, will examine the prudence of certain of the company'scompany’s expenditures relating to the arrests and consider whether additional expenditures should also be examined (see “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B).

In September 2010, CECONY commenced an internal investigation relating to the arrest of a retired employee for participating in a bribery scheme in which the employee received payments from a bidder that was selected to supply materials to the company.

24


CECONY has provided information to governmental authorities in connection with their ongoing investigation of this conspiracy to defraud the company.

The company, based upon its evaluation of its internal controls for 2009 and previous years, believes that the controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that its financial statements have been fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because the company’s investigation isinvestigations are ongoing, the company is unable to predict the impact of any of the employees’ unlawful conduct on the company’s internal controls, business, results of operations or financial position.

Permit Non-Compliance and Pollution Discharges

In March 2009, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) issued a proposed administrative Order on Consent to CECONY with respect to non-compliance with certain laws, regulations and permit conditions and discharges of pollutants at the company’s steam generating facilities. The proposed order effectively instituted a civil enforcement proceeding against the company. In the proposed order, the NYSDEC is seeking, among other things, the company’s agreement to pay a penalty in an amount the NYSDEC did not specify, retain an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive audit of the company’s generating facilities to determine compliance with federal and New York State environmental laws and regulations and recommend best practices, remove all equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls from the company’s steam and electric facilities, remediate polychlorinated biphenyl contamination, install certain wastewater treatment facilities, and comply with additional sampling, monitoring, and training requirements. In March 2010, the NYSDEC issued a revised proposed consent order specifying the amount of penalty the NYSDEC is seeking at $10.8 million. The company will seek to resolve this matter through negotiations with the NYSDEC. It is unable to predict the impact of this matter on the company’s operations or the additional costs, which could be substantial, to comply with the requirements resulting from this matter.

In January 2010, the NYSDEC issued a proposed administrative Order on Consent to CECONY relating to discharges of pollutants, reported by the company to the NYSDEC from 2002 through 2009, into the storm sewer system at a property the company owns in the Astoria section of New York on which the company is permitted by the NYSDEC to operate a hazardous waste storage facility. In April 2010, the NYSDEC issued an order, to which CECONY consented, pursuant to which CECONY paid a $1.1 million penalty and undertakeis undertaking a corrective action plan that will require the company to incur an estimated $12$32 million of capital expenditures.

In June 2010, the NYSDEC issued a proposed consent order relating to the release of oil into the Bronx River resulting from a November 2009 transformer fire at the company'scompany’s Dunwoodie electric substation. In July 2010, the NYSDEC issued an order, to which CECONY consented, pursuant to which CECONY will paypaid a penalty and other amounts totaling $0.7 million.

Lease In/Lease Out Transactions

In each of 1997 and 1999, Con Edison Development entered into a transaction in which it leased property and then immediately subleased it back to the lessor (termed “Lease In/Lease Out,” or LILO transactions).

26


The transactions respectively involve electric generating and gas distribution facilities in the Netherlands, with a total investment of $259 million. The transactions were financed with $93 million of equity and $166 million of non-recourse, long-term debt secured by the underlying assets. In accordance with the accounting rules for leases, Con Edison is accounting for the two LILO transactions as leveraged leases. Accordingly, the company’s investment in these leases, net of non-recourse debt, is carried as a single amount in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet and income is recognized pursuant to a method that incorporates a level rate of return for those years when net investment in the lease is positive, based upon the after-tax cash flows projected at the inception of the leveraged leases. The company’s investment in these leveraged leases was $(33)$(36) million at JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and $(24) million at December 31, 2009 and is comprised of a $235 million gross investment less $268$271 million deferred tax liabilities at JuneSeptember 30, 2010

25


and $235 million gross investment less $259 million of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2009.

On audit of Con Edison’s tax return for 1997, the IRS disallowed the tax losses in connection with the 1997 LILO transaction. In December 2005, Con Edison paid a $0.3 million income tax deficiency asserted by the IRS for the tax year 1997 with respect to the 1997 LILO transaction. In April 2006, the company paid interest of $0.2 million associated with the deficiency and commenced an action in the United States Court of Federal Claims, entitled Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. v. United States, to obtain a refund of this tax payment and interest. A trial was completed in November 2007. In October 2009, the court issued a decision in favor of the company concluding that the 1997 LILO transaction was, in substance, a true lease that possessed economic substance, the loans relating to the lease constituted bona fide indebtedness, and the deductions for the 1997 LILO transactions claimed by the company in its 1997 federal income tax return are allowable. The IRS is entitled to appeal the decision.

In connection with its audit of Con Edison’s federal income tax returns for 1998 through 2007, the IRS disallowed $416 million of net tax deductions taken with respect to both of the LILO transactions for the tax years. Con Edison is pursuing administrative appeals of these audit level disallowances. In connection with its audit of Con Edison’s federal income tax returnreturns for 2009 and 2008, the IRS has disallowed $41 million and $42 million, respectively, of net tax deductions taken with respect to both of the LILO transactions. When thisthese audit level disallowance becomesdisallowances become appealable, Con Edison intends to file an appeal of the disallowance.disallowances.

Con Edison believes that its LILO transactions have been correctly reported, and has not recorded any reserve with respect to the disallowance of tax losses, or related interest, in connection with its LILO transactions. Con Edison’s estimated tax savings, reflected in its financial statements, from the two LILO transactions through JuneSeptember 30, 2010, in the aggregate, was $213$217 million. If Con Edison were required to repay all or a portion of these amounts, it would also be required to pay interest of up to $71$73 million net of tax at JuneSeptember 30, 2010.

Pursuant to the accounting rules for leveraged lease transactions, the expected timing of income tax cash flows generated by Con Edison’s LILO transactions are required to be reviewed at least annually. If the expected timing of the cash flows is revised, the rate of return and the allocation of income would be recalculated from the inception of the LILO transactions, and the company would be required to recalculate the accounting effect of the LILO transactions, which would result in a charge to earnings that could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations.

Guarantees

Con Edison and its subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison totaled $880$873 million and $929 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In August 2010, the IRS entered into a closing agreement with Con Edison, covering the Companies’ use of certain methods to determine the extent to which construction-related costs could be deducted in 2005 through 2008 (the last year for which deduction of construction-related costs was an uncertain tax position), and instructed the IRS to apply the remainder of a June 2007 deposit to pay the tax for

26


2005 through 2008 determined to be due relating to the closing agreement. At September 30, 2010, the remaining deposit was $51 million (including $47 million attributable to CECONY), which is included in other current assets in the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets, and the tax due relating to the closing agreement was $53 million (including $55 million attributable to CECONY), which is included in other current liabilities in the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. In October 2010, the IRS indicated that it applied most of the remaining deposit towards payment of the tax due relating to the closing agreement.

At September 30, 2010, the liability for uncertain tax positions (which is included in other current liabilities in the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets) included $8 million (including $8 million attributable to CECONY) relating to the deduction of construction-related costs for New York State income tax purposes in 2005 through 2008.

Settlement of the Companies’ uncertain tax position regarding the timing of the deduction of construction-related costs has had, and will have, no effect (except for interest on amounts owed, which is not expected to be significant) on the Companies’ results of operations because deferred taxes had previously been provided for the related temporary differences between the deductions taken for income tax purposes and the corresponding amounts charged to expense for financial reporting purposes.

In September 2010, Con Edison filed the Companies’ federal income tax return for 2009 reflecting, among other things, the deduction of the costs of certain repairs to utility plant as an operating expense (the “repair allowance deductions”). Previously, the Companies capitalized such costs and reported their depreciation in their tax returns. Taking the repair allowance deductions accelerated the timing of the deduction of the cost of the repairs. The Companies had a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes in 2009 reflecting, among other things, the repair allowance deductions and the bonus depreciation provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.At September 30, 2010, with respect to the repair allowance deductions, Con Edison accrued a liability for uncertain tax positions of $54 million (including $52 million attributable to CECONY), which is included in other current liabilities in the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets.

In September 2010, the Companies applied for a refund of certain prior years’ federal tax payments based upon the carry-back of the 2009 net operating loss. At September 30, 2010, Con Edison’s estimated refunds receivable from the IRS amounted to $297 million, which is included in other accounts receivable in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet (including $281 million attributable to CECONY, which is included in accounts receivable from affiliated companies in CECONY’s consolidated balance sheet).

The Companies also estimate that they had a net operating loss for state income tax purposes for 2009 (reflecting, among other things, the repair allowance expense deductions), which is being carried forward and as to which, at September 30, 2010, Con Edison has included a $64 million other current asset in its consolidated balance sheet (including $35 million attributable to CECONY, which is included in accounts receivable from affiliated companies in CECONY’s consolidated balance sheet).

Note JK — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging, derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, unless an exception is available under the accounting rules. Certain qualifying derivative contracts have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts. These contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

28


Energy Price Hedging

Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, and steam by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. The fair values of these hedges at JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Credit Exposure

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. 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.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, Con Edison and CECONY had $173$172 million and $19$24 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $116$107 million with investment-grade counterparties, and $57$65 million primarily with commodity exchange brokers or independent system operators. CECONY’s entire net credit exposure was with commodity exchange brokers.

Economic Hedges

The Companies enter into certain derivative instruments that do not qualify or are not designated as hedges under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. However, management believes these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

The Utilities generally recover all of 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 commissions. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in earnings in the reporting period in which they occur.

(a)Qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging and, therefore, are excluded from the table.
(b)For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, Con Edison recorded in non-utility operating revenues an unrealized pre-tax lossgain of $26$2 million.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, Con Edison had 1,4221,475 contracts, including 677693 CECONY contracts, which were considered to be derivatives under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging (excluding qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts).

(a)Qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging and, therefore, are excluded from the table.
(b)Volumes are reported net of long and short positions.

 

The Companies also enter into electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts to hedge the congestion and transportation charges which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.

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 the Companies to provide collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the Companies’ credit ratings.

32   



The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position and collateral posted at JuneSeptember 30, 2010, 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 were:

(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 Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post collateral, which at JuneSeptember 30, 2010, would have amounted to an estimated $194$191 million for Con Edison, including $121$50 million for CECONY. 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)Across the Utilities’ energy derivative positions, credit limits for the same counterparties are generally integrated. At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the Utilities posted combined collateral of $117$126 million, including an estimated $44$34 million attributable to O&R.
(c)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 liabilities 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 of setoff.
(d)The current ratings are Moody’s, S&P and Fitch long-term credit rating of, as applicable, Con Edison (Baa1/BBB+/BBB+), CECONY (A3/A-/A-) or O&R (Baa1/A-/A)A-). Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are expressions of opinions that are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
(e)Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of not more than $20 million.

 

Interest Rate Swaps

O&R has an interest rate swap related to its Series 1994A Debt. SeeDebt (which debt was cancelled in August 2010, see Note C to the financial statement in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.C). O&R pays a fixed-rate of 6.09 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap at JuneSeptember 30, 2010 was an unrealized loss of $12 million, which has been included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet as a noncurrent liability/fair value of derivative liabilities and a regulatory asset. There was no material change in the fair value of the swap for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010. In the event O&R’s credit rating was downgraded to BBB- or lower by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Baa3 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, the swap counterparty could elect to terminate the agreement and, if it did so, the parties would then be required to settle the transaction.

Note KL — Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2010, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” except as discussed in the following paragraph.below. This update requires the Companies to disclose significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The guidance also clarifies level of disaggregation and disclosure requirements about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and the meaning of a class of assets and liabilities. In addition, the update requires the Companies to present information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). This disclosure is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

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. See Note P to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for how the Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy.

  33



The valuation technique used by the Companies with regard to commodity derivatives and other assets that fall into either Level 2 or Level 3 is the market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The valuation technique used by the Companies with regard to the interest rate contract that falls into Level 3 is the income approach which uses valuation techniques to convert future income stream amounts to a single amount in present value terms.

(1)A significant portion of the commodity derivative contracts categorized in Level 3 is valued using either an industry acceptable model or an internally developed model with observable inputs. The models also include some less readily observable inputs resulting in the classification of the entire contract as Level 3. See Note J.K.
(2)See Note J.K.
(3)Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the Deferred Income Plan and Supplemental Retirement Income Plans, held in rabbi trusts.
(4)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.
(5)The Companies’ policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of the reporting period.
(6)Transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because of reassessment of the levels in the fair value hierarchy within which certain inputs fall.
(7)Transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 because of availability of observable market data due to decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond one year as of March 31,June 30, 2010 to less than one year as of JuneSeptember 30, 2010.

Note LM — Variable Interest Entities

Reference is made to Notes Q and T to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note L to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of the First Quarter Form 10-Q.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Companies adopted ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” The Companies have not identified any interests they have in any variable interest entity (VIE) that would require the Companies to include the accounts of the VIE in the Companies’ consolidated financial statements. In the second quarter of 2010, CECONY again requested from five potential VIEs (Sithe/Independence Power Partners, LP, Cogen Technologies Linden Venture, LP, Selkirk Cogen Partners, LP, Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP,10-Q and Indeck Energy Services of Corinth, Inc.), with which CECONY has long-term electricity purchase agreements, the information necessary to determine whether the entity is a VIE and whether CECONY is its primary beneficiary. The information was not made available. CECONY also has a long-term electricity purchase agreement with Astoria Energy, LLC (Astoria Energy). CECONY has determined that Astoria Energy is a VIE, and that CECONY is not its primary beneficiary since CECONY does not have the power to direct the activities that CECONY believes most significantly impact the economic performance of Astoria Energy. In particular, CECONY has not invested in, or guaranteed the indebtedness of, Astoria Energy and CECONY does not operate or maintain Astoria Energy’s generating facilities. CECONY’s significant involvement with the entities with which it entered into long-term electricity purchase agreements is CECONY’s purchase of energy and capacity under the agreements, as to which CECONY’s maximum exposure to the entities is limited pursuant to the agreements. For information about the agreements, see Note I to the financial statements in Item 8 of theSecond Quarter Form 10-K.10-Q.

Includes $1 million and $(16)$17 million of net after-tax mark-to-market gains/(losses) for the sixthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Includes $(21) million and $1 million of net after-tax mark-to-market gains/(losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(b)Represents inter-company and parent company accounting. See “Results of Operations,” below.

 

The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared with the 2009 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans. These rate plans include an increase in the allowed electric return on common equity for CECONY. The rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases, discussed below, in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes and interest charges. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses, including net mark-to-market effects.

 

The increases in operations and maintenance expenses reflect higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits, demand side management programs and regulatory assessments in the 2010 period,periods, offset in part by savings in certain operating expenses through cost control efforts. The increase in operations and maintenance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits. The increases also reflect higher New York State assessments that are collected from customers. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the 2010 periodperiods reflecting primarily the impact from higher utility plant balances. Interest charges were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2010 period reflecting increased outstanding long-term debt.

 

The following table presents the estimated effect on earnings per share and net income for common stock for the 2010 period compared with the 2009 period, resulting from these and other major factors:

See “Results of Operations” below for further discussion and analysis of results of operations.

Risk Factors

The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. The factors include those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Companies’ financial statements reflect the application of their accounting policies, which conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companies’ critical accounting policies include industry-specific accounting applicable to regulated public utilities and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies, long-lived assets, derivative instruments, goodwill and leases. See “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their respective consolidated statement of cash flows and as discussed below. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. Changes in the Companies’ cash and temporary cash investments resulting from operating, investing and financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect principally their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is dependent primarily on factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy, and economic conditions. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ electric and gas rate plans in New York, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income. See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate agreements. 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 agreements. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

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 include depreciation, deferred income tax expense, and net derivative losses. Principal non-cash credits include amortizations of certain net regulatory liabilities and net derivative gains. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ electric and gas rate plans in New York. See “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 for Con Edison and CECONY were $648$498 million and $590$388 million lower, respectively, than in the 2009 period. The decreases in

  41



net cash flows reflect the January 2010 semi-annual payment of CECONY’s New York City property taxes, without ataxes. A comparable semi-annual payment was not made in January 2009. The Company achieved a 1.5 percent reduction in2009 because the company paid its New2008-2009New York City propertyCityfiscal yearproperty taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 by prepaying the annual tax amount in July 2008. Net cash flows from operating activities for the 2010 period, compared to the 2009 period, included increased estimated income tax payments by Con Edison and CECONY of $280 million and $246 million, respectively, reflecting, among other things, the expiration of the bonus depreciation provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Companies’ 2010 estimated tax payments do notreflect the acceleration in the timing of deduction of certain repairs to utility plant or the bonus depreciation provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (which was signed into law in September 2010). See “Other Changes in Assets and Liabilities – Other Receivables, Prepayments and Deferred Income Taxes” below).

The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing issue is reflected within changes to accounts receivable – customers, recoverable energy costs and accounts payable balances.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 for Con Edison and CECONY were $112$83 million lower, and $7$5 million lower,higher, respectively, than in the 2009 period. The decreasechange reflects primarily decreased construction expenditures in 2010. The lower net cash flows used in investing activities for CECONY were offset in part by the repayment of loans by O&R to CECONY in the 2009 period. See Note S to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 for Con Edison and CECONY were $217$352 million and $234$280 million higher, respectively, than in the 2009 period.

Net cash flows from financing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009 reflect the following CECONY transactions:

2010

 

Issued $350 million 4.45 percent 10-year debentures and $350 million 5.70 percent 30-year debentures:debentures; and

 

Redeemed at maturity $325 million 8.125 percent 10-year debentures and $300 million 7.50 percent 10-year debentures.

2009

 

Issued $275 million 5.55 percent 5-year debentures and $475 million 6.65 percent 10-year debentures; and

 

Redeemed at maturity $275 million 4.70 percent 5-year debentures.

Con Edison’s net cash flows from financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 also reflect the following O&R transactions:

Issued $55 million 2.50 percent 5-year debentures and $115 million 5.50 percent 30-year debentures;

 

Redeemed in advance of maturity $45 million 7.00 percent 30-year debentures that were due in 2029;

Cash flows from financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009 also reflect the issuance of Con Edison common shares through its dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans (2010: 1,203,6952,691,293 shares for $25$78 million, 2009: 1,117,4491,637,490 shares for $15$25 million). In addition, as a result of the stock plan issuances, cash used to pay common stock dividends was reduced by $24$36 million in both periods.

42

In October 2010, Con Edison issued 6.3 million common shares resulting in net proceeds of $305 million, the proceeds of which were invested by Con Edison in CECONY.


Common stock issuances and external borrowings are sources of liquidity that could be affected by changes in credit ratings, financial performance and capital market conditions. For information about the Companies’ credit ratings and certain financial ratios, see “Capital Requirements and Resources – Capital Resources” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Other Receivables, Prepayments and Deferred Income Taxes

The increase in other receivables (for CECONY, accounts receivable from affiliated companies) reflects an increase in estimated federal income tax refunds receivable, reflecting among other things, the acceleration in the timing of deduction of certain repairs to utility plant and the bonus depreciation provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. See Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

The increase in prepayments reflects the portion allocable to the 2010 fourth quarter of the $597 million July 2010 semi-annual payment of New York City property taxes. The increase also reflects $183 million of estimated federal income tax payments that the Companies made which are no longer expected to be required for payment of the Companies’ 2010 federal income tax liability. The Companies expect a lower than previously forecasted 2010 federal income tax liability as a result of the bonus depreciation provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (which was signed into law in September 2010) that permit the deduction of an incremental 50 percent of qualifying 2010 capital expenditures.

The increase in the liability for deferred income taxes reflects these federal income tax developments.

Regulatory Assets – Current

The increase in regulatory assets – current reflects an increase in deferred derivative losses – current ($127 million for Con Edison and $114 million for CECONY) reflecting primarily the impact of the maturity of certain contract positions, which were outstanding at December 31, 2009 and the timing of entering into new positions in 2010, offset in part by a

43


decrease in the recoverable energy costs – current for O&R. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” in Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Asset for Unrecognized Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Costs and Non-Current Liability for Pension and Retiree Benefits

The decreases in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and the non-current liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the underfunding of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2009 in accordance with the accounting rules for pensions and the year-to-date amortization of accounting costs. The decrease in the non-current liability for pension and retiree benefits also reflects the contributions to the pension plan made by CECONY in the first halfnine months of the year. See Notes B, E and F to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note E to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Capital Requirements and Resources

At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, there was no material change in the Companies’ capital requirements and resources compared to those disclosed under “Capital Requirements and Resources – Capital Requirements” and “Capital Requirement and Resources – Capital Resources” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K, other than as described below and in Note C to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison expects that its actual construction expenditures for 2010 will be approximately $160 million (including $85 million for CECONY) less than estimated under “Capital Requirements” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K. The Companies expect to realize tax benefits of approximately $500 million over the next few months that will result in more than previously anticipated cash flows from operating activities. These tax benefits reflect, among other things, theacceleration of the timing of the deduction for income tax purposes of certain repairs to utility plant and bonus depreciation provisions of both the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (see “Other Changes in Assets and Liabilities – Other Receivables, Prepayments and Deferred Income Taxes,” above). The Utilities do not anticipate the need to issue any additional long-term debt to fund their capital requirements for the remainder of 2010. CECONY is considering issuing additional long-term debt to refund certain outstanding securities.

CECONY is in the process of reviewing its capital requirements for 2011 and 2012 and expects to defer certain projects which had estimated construction expenditures of $75 million and $200 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively. CECONY expects that its construction expenditures for 2011 and 2012 will decrease from the amounts estimated under “Capital Requirements” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

In October 2010, Fitch reduced its rating of O&R’s senior unsecured debt from A to A-. See “Capital Requirements and Resources – Capital Resources” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Electric Power Requirements

At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ electric power requirements compared to those disclosed under “Electric Operations – Electric Supply” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Regulatory Matters

At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ regulatory matters compared to those disclosed under “Utility Regulation” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K and “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K, other than as described in Note B to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and investment risk. At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ financial and commodity market risks compared to those discussed under “Financial and Commodity Market Risks” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K, other than as described below and in Note JK to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Risk

Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses have risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note JK to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $93$96 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $73$74 million is for CECONY and $20$22 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. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of their electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of instruments or the portfolio due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their electricity and natural gas commodity businesses using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. 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 transactions associated with hedges on commodity contracts, assuming a one-day holding period, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, was as follows:

Credit Risk

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. 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 and 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

45


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 of setoff. See “Credit Exposure” in Note JK to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

For information concerning climate change, environmental sustainability, potential liabilities arising from laws and regulations protecting the environment and other environmental matters, see “Environmental Matters” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K and Notes G and H to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation

The Companies are affected by the decline in the purchasing power of the dollar caused by inflation. Regulation permits the Utilities to recover, through depreciation, only the historical cost of their plant assets even though in an inflationary economy the cost to replace the assets upon their retirement will substantially exceed historical costs. The impact is, however, partially offset by the repayment of the Companies’ long-term debt in dollars of lesser value than the dollars originally borrowed.

Material Contingencies

For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see “Application of Critical Accounting Policies – Accounting for Contingencies,” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and Notes B, G and H to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Results of operations reflect, among other things, the Companies’ accounting policies (see “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K) and rate plans that cover the rates the Utilities can charge their customers (see “Utility Regulation” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K). Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms currently applicable to the Utilities’ electric and gas businesses in New York, revenues will generally not be affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Revenues for CECONY’s steam business and O&R’s other utility businesses are affected by changes in delivery volumes resulting from weather, economic conditions and other factors. See Note B to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared with the 2009 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans. These rate plans include an increase in the allowed electric return on common equity for CECONY. The rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases, discussed below, in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes and interest charges. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses, including net mark-to-market effects.

The increases in operations and maintenance expenses reflect higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits, demand side management programs and regulatory assessments in the 2010 period,periods, offset in part by savings in certain operating expenses through cost control efforts. The increase in operations and maintenance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also reflects higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits. The increases also reflect higher New York State assessments that are collected from customers. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the 2010 periodperiods reflecting primarily the impact from higher utility plant balances. Interest charges were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2010 period reflecting increased outstanding long-term debt. For additional information about major factors affecting earnings, see “Results of Operations – Summary,” above.

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 (see “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A and “Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). Accordingly,

45


such costs do not generally affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management uses the term “net revenues” (operating revenues less such costs) to identify changes in operating revenues that may affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management believes that, although “net revenues” may not be a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

46


America, the measure facilitates the analysis by management and investors of the Companies’ results of operations.

Con Edison’s principal business segments are CECONY’s regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities, O&R’s regulated electric and gas utility activities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities. A discussion of the results of operations by principal business segment for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and 2009 follows. For additional business segment financial information, see Note IJ to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY’s electric operating revenues increased $292$175 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to CECONY’s electric rate plan ($288 million), increased purchased power ($1829 million), and fuel ($16 million) and CECONY’s electric rate plans ($15518 million), offset in part by the revenue decoupling mechanism (reduction of $37$77 million of revenues in the 2010 period compared with increased revenues of $30$63 million in the 2009 period). CECONY’s revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.

CECONY’s electric operating revenues increased $363$537 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to CECONY’s electric rate plans ($325614 million, which among other things, reflected a 10.15 percent return on common equity, effective April 2010, a 10.0 percent return, effective April 2009 and a 9.1 percent return, effective April 2008), and higher purchased power costs ($8593 million), offset in part by the revenue decoupling mechanism (a reduction of $31$108 million of revenues in

54


the 2010 period compared with increased revenues of $24$87 million in the 2009 period) and lower fuel costs ($12 million). CECONY’s revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans.

Electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 0.43.7 percent for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 0.40.2 percent for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

CECONY’s electric purchased power costs increased $85$93 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due to higher unit costs ($135129 million), offset by lower purchased volumes ($5036 million). Electric fuel costs decreased $12$1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due to lower unit costs ($44 million), offset by higher send out volumes from the company’s generating facilities ($32 million).period.

CECONY’s electric operating income increased $56$137 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($290445 million, due primarily to the electric rate plan, including the collection of a surcharge for a New York State assessment and the recovery of higher pension expense). The higher net revenues were offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($116159 million, due primarily to higher demand side management expenses ($78 million), the surcharge for a New York State assessment ($5762 million) and the recovery of higher demand side management expensespension expense ($4524 million), offset in part by reduced operating expenses due to cost control efforts), taxes other than income taxes ($99122 million, principally property taxes) and depreciation and amortization ($1927 million). The increased operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from two severe winter storms were deferred as a regulatory asset, and did not affect electric operating income. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” in Note B to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

*Includes 2,230 and 1,767 thousands of dths for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that are also reflected in firm transportation and other.

 

CECONY’s gas operating revenues decreased $155$133 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to a decrease in gas purchased for resale costs ($197210 million), offset in part by the 2009 gas rate plan ($4178 million). CECONY’s revenues from gas sales are subject to a weather normalization clause and a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which, delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other gas operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s rate plans.

CECONY’s sales and transportation volumes for firm customers decreased 3.03.1 percent for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, firm gas sales and transportation volumes in the company’s service area increased 3.22.1 percent in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared with the 2009 period, reflecting primarily new business and transfers of interruptible customers to firm service.

CECONY’s purchased gas cost decreased by $197$210 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due to lower unit costs ($168170 million) and lower send out volumes ($2940 million).

CECONY’s gas operating income increased $7$20 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($4277 million), offset by higher operations and maintenance expense ($2947 million, due primarily to a surcharge for a New York State assessment ($29 million), demand side management programs ($7 million) and higher pension expense ($4 million)), and taxes other than income taxes ($47 million).

O&R’s electric operating revenues increased $25$60 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to the electric rate plan ($1733 million) and, increased recoverable purchased power costs ($827 million). and for O&R’s New Jersey and Pennsylvania operations, the warmer summer weather in the 2010 period. O&R’s New York electric delivery revenues are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which, delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric sales in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not subject to a decoupling mechanism, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact revenues. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s electric rate plan.

Electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area increased 1.96.3 percent for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. After adjusting for weather variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 0.2increased 1.7 percent for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period.

Electric operating income increased $4$15 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($1733 million), offset, in part by higher operations and maintenance expenses ($1014 million, reflecting primarily the collection of a surcharge for a New York State assessment ($56 million) and the recovery of higher demand side management expenses ($23 million)). The increased operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from two severe winter storms were deferred as a regulatory asset, and did not affect electric operating income. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” in Note B to the SecondThird Quarter Financial Statements.

The competitive energy businesses’ earnings increased $30decreased $10 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to higher net mark-to-market gains andeffects, offset in part by higher electric retail margins in the 2010 period compared with the 2009 period.

Operating revenues increased $39$14 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to increased electric retail revenues, and changes in the net mark-to-market effects, offset in part by decreased energy efficiency services and electric wholesale revenues. Electric retail revenues increased $113$178 million due to higher sales volume ($158231 million), offset by lower per unit prices ($4553 million). Gross margins on electric retail revenues increased significantly due primarily to the sale of higher margin contracts, lower costs and higher volumes.
