·	Changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom we have contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market.
·	Actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of debt.
·	Volatility and changes in markets for electricity, natural gas, coal, nuclear fuel and other energy-related commodities.
·	Changes in utility regulation, including the implementation of ESPs and related regulation in Ohio and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP.
·	Accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies.

·	The impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by our pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact on future funding requirements.
·	Prices and demand for power that we generate and sell at wholesale.
·	Changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation.
·	Our ability to recover through rates or prices any remaining unrecovered investment in generating units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives.
·	Evolving public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of electricity, including nuclear fuel.
·	Other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats and other catastrophic events.

AEP and its Registrant Subsidiaries expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking information.

AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Financial Results

Gross margins increased during the first six months of 2011 primarily due to successful rate proceedings in our various jurisdictions. While our overall weather-related margins were slightly lower than 2010, cooling degree days and heating degree days were higher than normal throughout our service territories.

Regulatory Activity

Ohio 2009 – 2011 ESPs

In April 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an opinion addressing the aspects of the PUCO's 2009 decision that were challenged resulting in three reversals, two of which may have a prospective impact through a remand proceeding. Pursuant to a May 2011 PUCO order, CSPCo and OPCo implemented rates subject to refund. Certain intervenors proposed adjustments that included a reduction of deferred FAC and other regulatory assets for the period prior to June 2011 of up to $634 million, excluding carrying costs, which management believes is without merit and violates the Supreme Court of Ohio decision. The proposed adjustments also included refunds and rate reductions of related revenues beginning in June 2011 of up to $153 million. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

Ohio January 2012 – May 2014 ESP

In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve a new ESP that includes a standard service offer (SSO) pricing for generation effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012 through the last billing cycle of May 2014. The SSO presents redesigned generation rates by customer class. Customer class rates vary, but on average, customers will experience base generation increases of 1.4% in 2012 and 2.7% in 2013. Under the new ESP, management estimates CSPCo and OPCo will have base generation revenue increases, excluding riders, of $17 million and $48 million, respectively, for 2012 and $46 million and $60 million, respectively, for 2013. The April 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio referenced above in connection with the 2009-2011 ESPs could impact the outcome of the January 2012-May 2014 ESP, though the nature and extent of that impact is not presently known. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case

In February 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed with the PUCO for annual increases in distribution rates of $34 million and $60 million, respectively. The requested increase is based upon an 11.15% return on common equity to be effective January 2012. In addition to the annual increases, CSPCo and OPCo requested recovery of the projected December 31, 2012 balance of certain distribution regulatory assets of $216 million and $159 million, respectively, including carrying costs, to be recovered in a requested distribution asset recovery rider over seven years with additional carrying costs, beginning January 2013. See “2011 Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

Virginia Regulatory Activity

In March 2011, APCo filed a generation and distribution base rate request with the Virginia SCC to increase annual base rates by $126 million based upon an 11.65% return on common equity to be effective no later than February 2012. The return on common equity includes a requested 0.5% renewable portfolio standards incentive as allowed by law. APCo proposed to mitigate the requested base rate increase by $51 million by maintaining current depreciation rates until the next biennial filing. If approved, APCo’s net base rate increase would be $75 million. In July 2011, an Attorney General witness recommended an $80 million reduction in APCo’s requested rate year capacity charges. See “2011 Virginia Biennial Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

West Virginia Regulatory Activity

In March 2011, the WVPSC modified and approved a settlement agreement which increased annual base rates by approximately $51 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. The order also resulted in a pretax write-off of a portion of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Product Validation Facility in the first quarter of 2011. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage” section below. In addition, the WVPSC allowed APCo to defer and amortize $18 million of previously expensed 2009 incremental storm expenses and allowed APCo and WPCo to defer and amortize $15 million of previously expensed costs related to the 2010 cost reduction initiatives, each over a period of seven years. See “2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

Michigan Base Rate Case

In July 2011, I&M filed a request with the MPSC for an annual increase in Michigan base rates of $25 million and a return on equity of 11.15%. The request includes an increase in depreciation rates that would result in a $6 million increase in depreciation expense. I&M plans to request an interim rate increase, subject to refund, for the portion of the $25 million that excludes the depreciation rate changes and other regulatory amortizations effective in January 2012. See “2011 Michigan Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

Turk Plant

SWEPCo is currently constructing the Turk Plant, a new base load 600 MW coal generating unit in Arkansas, which is expected to be in service in 2012. SWEPCo owns 73% (440 MW) of the Turk Plant and will operate the completed facility. SWEPCo’s share of construction costs is currently estimated to be $1.3 billion, excluding AFUDC, plus an additional $124 million for transmission, excluding AFUDC. The APSC, LPSC and PUCT approved SWEPCo’s original application to build the Turk Plant. In June 2010, the APSC issued an order which reversed and set aside the previously granted Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need. Various proceedings are pending that challenge the Turk Plant’s construction and its approved wetlands and air permits. In 2010, the motions for preliminary injunction were partially granted. According to the preliminary injunction, all uncompleted construction work associated with wetlands, streams or rivers at the Turk Plant must immediately stop. Mitigation measures required by the permit are authorized and may be completed. The preliminary injunction affects portions of the water intake and portions of two transmission lines. In July 2011, the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the preliminary injunction. Management is unable to predict the timing or the outcome related to this remand proceeding.

Management expects that SWEPCo will ultimately be able to complete construction of the Turk Plant and related transmission facilities and place those facilities in service. However, if SWEPCo is unable to complete the Turk Plant construction, including the related transmission facilities, and place the Turk Plant in service or if SWEPCo cannot recover all of its investment in and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it would materially reduce future net income and cash flows and materially impact financial condition. See “Turk Plant” section of Note 3.

Ohio Customer Choice

In our Ohio service territory, various competitive retail electric service (CRES) providers are targeting retail customers by offering alternative generation service. As a result, in comparison to the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010, we lost approximately $24 million and $43 million, respectively, of generation related gross margin. We anticipate recovery of a portion of lost margins through off-system sales, including PJM capacity revenues, and our CRES provider. Our CRES provider targets retail customers in Ohio, both within and outside of our retail service territory.

Cook Plant

new turbine rotors. The replacement of the repaired turbine rotors and other equipment is scheduled for the Unit 1 planned outage in the fall of 2011. If the ultimate costs of the incident are not covered by warranty, insurance or through the related regulatory process or if any future regulatory proceedings are adverse, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “Michigan 2009 and 2010 Power Supply Cost Recovery Reconciliations” section of Note 3 and “Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown” section of Note 4.

As a result of the nuclear plant situation in Japan following the March 2011 earthquake, we expect the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and possibly Congress to review safety procedures and requirements for nuclear generating facilities. This review could increase procedures and testing requirements, require physical modifications to the plant and increase future operating costs at the Cook Plant. We are unable to predict the impact of potential future regulation of nuclear facilities.

Texas Restructuring Appeals

Pursuant to PUCT restructuring orders, TCC securitized net recoverable stranded generation costs of $2.5 billion and is recovering the principal and interest on the securitization bonds through the end of 2020. TCC also refunded other net true-up regulatory liabilities of $375 million during the period October 2006 through June 2008 via a CTC credit rate rider under PUCT restructuring orders. TCC and intervenors appealed the PUCT’s true-up related orders. After rulings from the Texas District Court and the Texas Court of Appeals, TCC, the PUCT and intervenors filed petitions for review with the Supreme Court of Texas. In July 2011, the Supreme Court of Texas granted review and issued its opinion. The PUCT’s order denying recovery of approximately $420 million in capacity auction true-up amounts was reversed. We estimate that, in the remand to the PUCT, TCC will be entitled to recover approximately $420 million, plus interest from January 1, 2002. See “Texas Restructuring Appeals” section of Note 3.

Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage

Product Validation Facility (PVF)

In APCo’s and WPCo’s May 2010 West Virginia base rate filing, APCo and WPCo requested rate base treatment of the PVF, including recovery of the related asset retirement obligation regulatory asset amortization and accretion. In March 2011, a WVPSC order denied the request for rate base treatment of the PVF largely due to its experimental operation. The base rate order provided that should APCo construct a commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facility, only the West Virginia portion of the PVF costs, based on load sharing among certain AEP operating companies, may be considered used and useful plant in service and included in future rate base. As a result, APCo recorded a pretax write-off of $41 million ($26 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2011. As of June 30, 2011, APCo has recorded a noncurrent regulatory asset of $19 million related to the PVF. If APCo cannot recover its remaining PVF investment and related accretion expenses, it would reduce future net income and cash flows. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section of Note 3.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project with the Department of Energy (DOE) (Commercial Scale Project)

During 2010, AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, began the project definition stage for the potential construction of a new commercial scale CCS facility at the Mountaineer Plant. AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, applied for and was selected to receive funding from the DOE for the project. The DOE agreed to fund 50% of allowable costs incurred for the CCS facility up to a maximum of $334 million. In July 2011, management informed the DOE that it will complete a Front-End Engineering and Design study during the third quarter of 2011, but it is postponing any further CCS project activities because of the uncertainty about the regulation of CO 2 . As of June 30, 2011, the project has incurred $30 million in total costs and has received $10 million of DOE eligible funding resulting in a $20 million net balance recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Requests for recovery are in process in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. If the costs of the CCS project cannot be recovered, it would reduce future net income and cash flows. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section of Note 3.

LITIGATION

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, we cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. We assess the probability of loss for each contingency and accrue a liability for cases that have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on our regulatory proceedings and pending litigation see Note 4 – Rate Matters, Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies and the “Litigation” section of “Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis” in the 2010 Annual Report. Additionally, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies included herein. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect our net income.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

We are implementing a substantial capital investment program and incurring additional operational costs to comply with new environmental control requirements. We will need to make additional investments and operational changes in response to existing and anticipated requirements such as CAA requirements to reduce emissions of SO 2 , NO x , PM and hazardous air pollutants from fossil fuel-fired power plants, new proposals governing the beneficial use and disposal of coal combustion products and proposed clean water rules.

We are engaged in litigation about environmental issues, have been notified of potential responsibility for the clean-up of contaminated sites and incur costs for disposal of SNF and future decommissioning of our nuclear units. We are also engaged in the development of possible future requirements including the items discussed below and reductions of CO 2 emissions to address concerns about global climate change. See a complete discussion of these matters in the “Environmental Issues” section of “Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis” in the 2010 Annual Report. We will seek recovery of expenditures for pollution control technologies and associated costs from customers through rates in regulated jurisdictions. We should be able to recover these expenditures through market prices in deregulated jurisdictions. If not, the costs of environmental compliance could adversely affect future net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition.

Update to Environmental Controls Impact on the Generating Fleet

The rules and proposed environmental controls discussed in the next several sections will have a material impact on the generating units in the AEP System. We continue to evaluate the impact of these rules, project scope and technology available to achieve compliance. As of June 30, 2011, the AEP System had a total generating capacity of nearly 38,000 MWs, of which 23,900 MWs are coal-fired. In the second quarter of 2011, we refined the cost estimates of complying with these rules and other impacts of the environmental proposals on our coal-fired generating facilities. Based upon the updated estimates, investment to meet these proposed requirements ranges from approximately $6 billion to $8 billion between 2012 and 2020. These amounts include investments to convert 1,070 MWs of coal generation to 932 MWs of natural gas capacity and build approximately 1,200 MWs of natural gas-fired generation.

The cost estimates will change depending on the timing of implementation and whether the Federal EPA provides flexibility in the final rules. The cost estimates will also change based on: (a) the states’ implementation of these regulatory programs, including the potential for state implementation plans or federal implementation plans that impose standards more stringent than the proposed rules, (b) additional rulemaking activities in response to court decisions, (c) the actual performance of the pollution control technologies installed on our units, (d) changes in costs for new pollution controls, (e) new generating technology developments, (f) total MWs of capacity retired and replaced, including the type and amount of such replacement capacity and (g) other factors.

Subject to the factors listed above and based upon our current evaluation, we may retire the following plants or units of plants before 2015:

	Generating
Plant Name and Unit	Capacity
	(in MWs)
Big Sandy Plant		1,078
Clinch River Plant, Unit 3		235
Conesville Plant, Unit 3		165
Glen Lyn Plant		335
Kammer Plant		630
Kanawha River Plant		400
Muskingum River Plant, Units 1-4		840
Philip Sporn Plant		1,050
Picway Plant		100
Tanners Creek Plant, Units 1-3		495
Welsh Plant, Unit 2		528
Total		5,856

Duke Energy Corporation, the operator of W. C. Beckjord Generating Station, has announced its intent to close the facility in 2015. CSPCo owns 12.5% (54 MWs) of one unit at that station.

We are also considering the conversion of some of our coal units to natural gas, installing emission control equipment on other units and completing construction of the Turk and Dresden Plants. Recovery of the remaining investments in facilities that may be closed will be subject to regulatory approval.

Cross State Air Pollution Rule (formerly the Clean Air Act Transport Rule)

In July 2010, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule to replace the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) that would impose new and more stringent requirements to control SO 2 and NO x emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Each state covered by the proposed Clean Air Act Transport Rule (Transport Rule) was assigned an allowance budget for SO 2 and/or NO x . Limited interstate trading was allowed on a sub-regional basis and intrastate trading was allowed among generating units. Certain of our western states (Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas) would have been subject to only the seasonal NO x program, with new limits that were proposed to take effect in 2012. The remainder of the states in which we operate would have been subject to seasonal and annual NO x programs and an annual SO 2 emissions reduction program that takes effect in two phases. The first phase was effective in 2012 and more stringent SO 2 emission reductions were proposed to take effect in 2014 in certain states. The SO 2 and NO x programs rely on newly-created allowances rather than relying on the CAIR NO x allowances or the Title IV Acid Rain Program allowances used in CAIR.

In July 2011, the Federal EPA released the final rule, renamed the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAP Rule). Like the proposed Transport Rule, the CSAP Rule relies on newly-created SO 2 and NO x allowances and individual state budgets to compel further emission reductions from electric utility generating units in 28 states. Interstate trading of allowances is allowed on a restricted sub-regional basis beginning in 2012. Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma are subject only to the seasonal NO x program in the final rule. However, Texas is now subject to the annual programs for SO 2 and NO x in addition to the seasonal NO x program. The annual SO 2 allowance budgets in Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia have been reduced significantly in the final rule .

The time frames and stringency of the required emission reductions, coupled with the lack of robust interstate trading and the elimination of historic allowance banks, pose significant concerns for the AEP System and our electric utility customers. The compliance plan described above was based on the requirements of the proposed Transport Rule. The more stringent requirements included in the final CSAP Rule could further accelerate unit retirements, increase capital requirements, constrain operations, decrease reliability and unfavorably impact financial condition if the increased costs are not recovered in rates or market prices.

Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Regulation

The Federal EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) in 2005, setting mercury emission standards for new coal-fired power plants and requiring all states to issue new state implementation plans including mercury requirements for existing coal-fired power plants. The CAMR was vacated by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2008. In response, the Federal EPA has been developing a rule addressing a broad range of HAPs from coal and oil-fired power plants. The Federal EPA Administrator signed a proposed HAPs rule in March 2011, but the rule has not yet been published in the Federal Register. The rule establishes unit-specific emission rates for mercury, PM (as a surrogate for particles of nonmercury metal) and hydrochloric acid (as a surrogate for acid gases) for units burning coal and oil, on a site-wide 30-day rolling average basis. In addition, the rule proposes work practice standards, such as boiler tune-ups, for controlling emissions of organic HAPs and dioxin/furans. Compliance is required within three years of the effective date of the final rule, which is expected by November 2011 per the Federal EPA’s settlement agreement with several environmental groups. A one-year extension may be available if the extension is necessary for the installation of controls. We are developing comments to submit to the Federal EPA and collecting additional information regarding the performance of our coal-fired units. Comments will be accepted for 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.

We will urge the Federal EPA to carefully consider all of the options available so that costly and inefficient control requirements are not imposed regardless of unit size, age or other operating characteristics. We have older coal units for which it may be economically inefficient to install scrubbers or other environmental controls. Several of these units are included in our current list of potential plant closures discussed above.

Regional Haze

In March 2011, the Federal EPA proposed to approve in part and disapprove in part the regional haze state implementation plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Oklahoma through the Department of Environmental Quality. The Federal EPA is proposing to approve all of the NO x control measures in the SIP and disapprove the SO 2 control measures for six electric generating units, including two units owned by PSO. The Federal EPA is proposing a federal implementation plan (FIP) that would require these units to install technology capable of reducing SO 2 emissions to 0.06 pounds per million British thermal units within three years of the effective date of the FIP. The proposal is open for public comment.

Coal Combustion Residual Rule

In June 2010, the Federal EPA published a proposed rule to regulate the disposal and beneficial re-use of coal combustion residuals, including fly ash and bottom ash generated at our coal-fired electric generating units. The rule contains two alternative proposals. One proposal would impose federal hazardous waste disposal and management standards on these materials and another would allow states to retain primary authority to regulate the beneficial re-use and disposal of these materials under state solid waste management standards, including minimum federal standards for disposal and management. Both proposals would impose stringent requirements for the construction of new coal ash landfills and would require existing unlined surface impoundments to upgrade to the new standards or stop receiving coal ash and initiate closure within five years of the issuance of a final rule.

Currently, approximately 40% of the coal ash and other residual products from our generating facilities are re-used in the production of cement and wallboard, as structural fill or soil amendments, as abrasives or road treatment materials and for other beneficial uses. Certain of these uses would no longer be available and others are likely to significantly decline if coal ash and related materials are classified as hazardous wastes. In addition, we currently use surface impoundments and landfills to manage these materials at our generating facilities and will incur significant costs to upgrade or close and replace these existing facilities. We estimate that the potential compliance costs associated with the proposed solid waste management alternative could be as high as $3.9 billion including AFUDC for units across the AEP System. Regulation of these materials as hazardous wastes would significantly increase these costs.

Clean Water Act Regulations

In April 2011, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule setting forth standards for existing power plants that will reduce mortality of aquatic organisms pinned against a plant’s cooling water intake screen (impingement) or entrained in the cooling water. Entrainment is when small fish, eggs or larvae are drawn into the cooling water system and affected by heat, chemicals or physical stress. The proposed standards affect all plants withdrawing more than two million gallons of cooling water per day and establish specific intake design and intake velocity standards meant to allow fish to avoid or escape impingement. Compliance with this standard is required within eight years of the effective date of the final rule. The proposed standard for entrainment for existing facilities requires a site-specific evaluation of the available measures for reducing entrainment. The proposed entrainment standard for new units at existing facilities requires either intake flows commensurate with closed cycle cooling or achieving entrainment reductions equivalent to 90% or greater of the reductions that could be achieved with closed cycle cooling. Plants withdrawing more than 125 million gallons of cooling water per day must submit a detailed technology study to be reviewed by the state permitting authority. We are evaluating the proposal and engaged in the collection of additional information regarding the feasibility of implementing this proposal at our facilities. Comments on the proposal were due in July 2011.

Global Warming

While comprehensive economy-wide regulation of CO 2 emissions might be mandated through new legislation, Congress has yet to enact such legislation. The Federal EPA continues to take action to regulate CO 2 emissions under the existing requirements of the CAA. The Federal EPA issued a final endangerment finding for CO 2 emissions from new motor vehicles in December 2009 and final rules for new motor vehicles in May 2010. The Federal EPA determined that CO 2 emissions from stationary sources will be subject to regulation under the CAA and finalized its proposed scheme to streamline and phase in regulation of stationary source CO 2 emissions through the NSR prevention of significant deterioration and Title V operating permit programs through the issuance of final federal rules, state implementation plan calls and federal implementation plans. The Federal EPA is reconsidering whether to include CO 2 emissions in a number of stationary source standards, including standards that apply to new and modified electric utility units and announced a settlement agreement to issue proposed new source performance standards for utility boilers that would be applicable for both new and existing utility boilers. It is not possible at this time to estimate the costs of compliance with these new standards, but they may be material.

Our fossil fuel-fired generating units are very large sources of CO 2 emissions. If substantial CO 2 emission reductions are required, there will be significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs which would impact the ultimate retirement of older, less-efficient, coal-fired units. To the extent we install additional controls on our generating plants to limit CO 2 emissions and receive regulatory approvals to increase our rates, cost recovery could have a positive effect on future earnings. Prudently incurred capital investments made by our subsidiaries in rate-regulated jurisdictions to comply with legal requirements and benefit customers are generally included in rate base for recovery and earn a return on investment. We would expect these principles to apply to investments made to address new environmental requirements. However, requests for rate increases reflecting these costs can affect us adversely because our regulators could limit the amount or timing of increased costs that we would recover through higher rates. In addition, to the extent our costs are relatively higher than our competitors’ costs, such as operators of nuclear and natural gas based generation, it could reduce our off-system sales or cause us to lose customers in jurisdictions that permit customers to choose their supplier of generation service.

Several states have adopted programs that directly regulate CO 2 emissions from power plants, but none of these programs are currently in effect in states where we have generating facilities. Certain states, including Ohio, Michigan, Texas and Virginia, passed legislation establishing renewable energy, alternative energy and/or energy efficiency requirements. We are taking steps to comply with these requirements.

Certain groups have filed lawsuits alleging that emissions of CO 2 are a “public nuisance” and seeking injunctive relief and/or damages from small groups of coal-fired electricity generators, petroleum refiners and marketers, coal companies and others. We have been named in pending lawsuits, which we are vigorously defending. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on our operations or financial condition. See “Carbon Dioxide Public Nuisance Claims” and “Alaskan Villages’ Claims” sections of Note 4.

Future federal and state legislation or regulations that mandate limits on the emission of CO 2 would result in significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, which in turn, could lead to increased liquidity needs and higher financing costs. Excessive costs to comply with future legislation or regulations might force our utility subsidiaries to close some coal-fired facilities and could lead to possible impairment of assets. As a result, mandatory limits could have a material adverse impact on our net income, cash flows and financial condition.

For detailed information on global warming and the actions we are taking to address potential impacts, see Part I of the 2010 Form 10-K under the headings entitled “Business – General – Environmental and Other Matters – Global Warming” and “Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis.”

Cooling degree days and heating degree days are metrics commonly used in the utility industry as a measure of the impact of weather on net income. In general, degree day changes in our eastern region have a larger effect on net income than changes in our western region due to the relative size of the two regions and the number of customers within each region.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased power were as follows:

·	Retail Margins were unchanged primarily due to the following:
	·	Successful rate proceedings in our service territories which include:
		·	A $27 million rate increase for APCo.
		·	An $18 million rate increase for KPCo.
		·	A $7 million rate increase for SWEPCo.
		·	A $6 million rate increase in Ohio.
		·	A $6 million rate increase for I&M.
	·	An $18 million increase in weather-related usage in our western region primarily due to a 20% increase in cooling degree days.
	These increases were partially offset by:
	·	A $24 million decrease attributable to Ohio customers switching to alternative competitive retail electric service (CRES) providers.
	·	A $21 million decrease due to the expiration of E&R cost recovery in Virginia.
	·	A $20 million increase in other variable electric generation expenses.
	·	A $13 million decrease in weather-related usage in our eastern region primarily due to a 15% decrease in cooling degree days.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $37 million primarily due to an increase in PJM capacity revenues and higher physical sales volumes.
·	Transmission Revenues increased $13 million primarily due to net rate increases in PJM.
·	Other Revenues increased $8 million primarily due to higher amortization of deferred gains.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $258 million primarily due to:
	·	A $278 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
	·	A $54 million decrease due to the second quarter 2010 write-off of APCo’s Virginia share of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Product Validation Facility as denied for recovery by the Virginia SCC.
	·	A $6 million decrease in administrative and general expenses primarily due to a decrease in fringe benefit expenses.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $27 million increase in storm-related expenses.
	·	A $25 million increase due to the second quarter 2010 deferral of 2009 storm costs as allowed by the Virginia SCC.
	·	A $17 million increase in demand side management expenses, energy efficiency program expenses and other expenses currently recovered dollar-for-dollar in rate recovery riders/trackers within Gross Margin.
	·	A $15 million increase in plant operating and maintenance expenses.
·	Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $4 million primarily due to higher depreciable property balances partially offset by lower amortization due to the expiration of E&R amortization of deferred carrying costs in Virginia.
·	Taxes Other Than Income Taxes decreased $3 million primarily due to the employer portion of payroll taxes recorded in the second quarter of 2010 related to the cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher property taxes in 2011.
·	Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction increased $4 million primarily due to construction of the Dresden Plant and various environmental upgrades.
·	Interest Expense decreased $10 million primarily due to a decrease in long-term debt.
·	Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries increased $5 million primarily due to an increase in transmission investments for ETT.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $107 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

AEP RIVER OPERATIONS

Second Quarter of 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of 2010

Net Income from our AEP River Operations segment was unchanged from 2010 to 2011. AEP River had increases in revenues related to higher grain and coal exports and increased barge fleet size offset by increases in expenses related to higher fuel, maintenance and flood-related costs.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Income from our AEP River Operations segment increased from $2 million in 2010 to $6 million in 2011 primarily due to higher grain and coal exports, increased barge fleet size and the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010 partially offset by higher fuel, maintenance and flood-related costs.

GENERATION AND MARKETING

Second Quarter of 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of 2010

Net Income from our Generation and Marketing segment increased from $7 million in 2010 to $11 million in 2011 primarily due to increased inception gains from ERCOT marketing activities and increased income from our wind farm operations partially offset by lower gross margins at the Oklaunion Plant.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Income from our Generation and Marketing segment decreased from $17 million in 2010 to $12 million in 2011 primarily due to lower gross margins at the Oklaunion Plant partially offset by increased income from our wind farm operations.

ALL OTHER

Second Quarter of 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of 2010

Net Income from All Other decreased from a loss of $1 million in 2010 to a loss of $13 million in 2011 primarily due to $16 million in pretax gains ($10 million, net of tax) on the sale of our remaining 138,000 shares of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) in the second quarter of 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Income from All Other decreased from a loss of $12 million in 2010 to a loss of $44 million in 2011 due to a $22 million net of tax loss incurred in the first quarter 2011 settlement of litigation with BOA and Enron and a $16 million pretax gain ($10 million, net of tax) on the sale of our remaining 138,000 shares of ICE in the second quarter of 2010.

AEP SYSTEM INCOME TAXES

Second Quarter of 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of 2010

Income Tax Expense increased $109 million in comparison to 2010 primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Income Tax Expense increased $180 million in comparison to 2010 primarily due to an increase in pretax book income and the unrealized capital loss valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset associated with the settlement of litigation with BOA and Enron, offset in part by the 2010 tax treatment associated with the future reimbursement of Medicare Part D retiree prescription drug benefits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

We measure our financial condition by the strength of our balance sheet and the liquidity provided by our cash flows. Target debt to equity ratios are included in our credit arrangements as covenants that must be met for borrowing to continue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Debt and Equity Capitalization

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	(dollars in millions)
Long-term Debt, including amounts due within one year	$	16,635	51.5	%	$	16,811	52.8	%
Short-term Debt		1,639	5.1			1,346	4.2

Total Debt and Equity Capitalization	$	32,273	100.0	%	$	31,839	100.0	%

Our ratio of debt-to-total capital decreased from 57% at December 31, 2010 to 56.6% at June 30, 2011.

Liquidity

Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. We believe we have adequate liquidity under our existing credit facilities. At June 30, 2011, we had $3 billion in aggregate credit facility commitments to support our operations. Additional liquidity is available from cash from operations and a receivables securitization agreement. We are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. We generally use short-term borrowings to fund working capital needs, property acquisitions and construction until long-term funding is arranged. Sources of long-term funding include issuance of long-term debt, sale-leaseback or leasing agreements or common stock.

Credit Facilities

We manage our liquidity by maintaining adequate external financing commitments. At June 30, 2011, our available liquidity was approximately $2.3 billion as illustrated in the table below:

		Amount		Maturity
		(in millions)
Commercial Paper Backup:
	Revolving Credit Facility	$	1,454	April 2012
	Revolving Credit Facility		1,500	June 2013
Total			2,954
Cash and Cash Equivalents			417
Total Liquidity Sources			3,371
Less:	AEP Commercial Paper Outstanding		944
	Letters of Credit Issued		132

Net Available Liquidity		$	2,295

We have credit facilities totaling $3 billion to support our commercial paper program. The credit facilities allow us to issue letters of credit in an amount up to $1.35 billion. In July 2011, we replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015.

In March 2011, we terminated a $478 million credit facility, used for letters of credit to support variable rate debt, that was scheduled to mature in April 2011. In March 2011, we issued bilateral letters of credit to support the remarketing of $357 million of the variable rate debt and reacquired $115 million which are held by a trustee on our behalf.

We use our commercial paper program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of our subsidiaries. The program is used to fund both a Utility Money Pool, which funds the utility subsidiaries, and a Nonutility Money Pool, which funds the majority of the nonutility subsidiaries. In addition, the program also funds, as direct borrowers, the short-term debt requirements of other subsidiaries that are not participants in either money pool for regulatory or operational reasons. The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding during the first six months of 2011 was $1.2 billion. The weighted-average interest rate for our commercial paper during 2011 was 0.38%.

Securitized Accounts Receivables

In July 2011, we renewed our receivables securitization agreement. The agreement provides a commitment of $750 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables with an increase to $800 million for the months of July, August and September to accommodate seasonal demand. A commitment of $375 million with the seasonal increase to $425 million for the months of July, August and September expires in June 2012 and the remaining commitment of $375 million expires in June 2014.

Debt Covenants and Borrowing Limitations

Our revolving credit agreements contain certain covenants and require us to maintain our percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 67.5%. The method for calculating our outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually defined in our revolving credit agreements. Debt as defined in the revolving credit agreements excludes junior subordinated debentures, securitization bonds and debt of AEP Credit. At June 30, 2011, this contractually-defined percentage was 52.3%. Nonperformance under these covenants could result in an event of default under these credit agreements. At June 30, 2011, we complied with all of the covenants contained in these credit agreements. In addition, the acceleration of our payment obligations, or the obligations of certain of our major subsidiaries, prior to maturity under any other agreement or instrument relating to debt outstanding in excess of $50 million, would cause an event of default under these credit agreements and in a majority of our non-exchange traded commodity contracts which would permit the lenders and counterparties to declare the outstanding amounts payable. However, a default under our non-exchange traded commodity contracts does not cause an event of default under our revolving credit agreements.

The revolving credit facilities do not permit the lenders to refuse a draw on either facility if a material adverse change occurs.

Utility Money Pool borrowings and external borrowings may not exceed amounts authorized by regulatory orders. At June 30, 2011, we had not exceeded those authorized limits.

Dividend Policy and Restrictions

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share in July 2011. Future dividends may vary depending upon our profit levels, operating cash flow levels and capital requirements, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time. AEP’s income derives from our common stock equity in the earnings of our utility subsidiaries. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of our utility subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of dividends.

We have the option to defer interest payments on the AEP Junior Subordinated Debentures for one or more periods of up to 10 consecutive years per period. During any period in which we defer interest payments, we may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or acquire, our common stock.

We do not believe restrictions related to our various charter provisions and regulatory requirements will have any significant impact on Parent’s ability to access cash to meet the payment of dividends on its common stock.

Credit Ratings

We do not have any credit arrangements that would require material changes in payment schedules or terminations as a result of a credit downgrade, but our access to the commercial paper market may depend on our credit ratings. In addition, downgrades in our credit ratings by one of the rating agencies could increase our borrowing costs. Counterparty concerns about the credit quality of AEP or its utility subsidiaries could subject us to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under our derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

CASH FLOW

Managing our cash flows is a major factor in maintaining our liquidity strength.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $1.7 billion in 2011 consisting primarily of Net Income of $708 million and $813 million of noncash Depreciation and Amortization. Other changes represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. Significant changes in other items include the favorable impact of a decrease in fuel inventory and the unfavorable impact of reducing accounts payable and adjusting accrued taxes for a net operating loss and tax credit carryforward. Deferred Income Taxes increased primarily due to provisions in the Small Business Jobs Act and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Jobs Creation Act, the settlement with BOA and Enron and an increase in tax versus book temporary differences from operations. In February 2011, we paid $425 million to BOA of which $211 million was used to settle litigation with BOA and Enron. The remaining $214 million was used to acquire cushion gas as discussed in Investing Activities below.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $582 million in 2010 consisting primarily of Net Income of $483 million and $813 million of noncash Depreciation and Amortization. Other includes a $656 million increase in securitized receivables under the application of new accounting guidance for “Transfers and Servicing” related to our sale of receivables agreement. Other changes represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. Significant changes in other items include an increase in under-recovered fuel primarily due to the deferral of fuel under the FAC in Ohio and higher fuel costs in Oklahoma, accrued tax benefits and the favorable impact of a decrease in fuel inventory. Deferred Income Taxes increased primarily due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 extending bonus depreciation provisions, a change in tax accounting method and an increase in tax versus book temporary differences from operations.

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities in 2011 were $329 million. Our net debt issuances were $104 million. The net issuances included issuances of $600 million of senior unsecured notes, $481 million of pollution control bonds and an increase in short-term borrowing of $293 million offset by retirements of $578 million of senior unsecured and debt notes, $591 million of pollution control bonds and $92 million of securitization bonds. We paid common stock dividends of $446 million. See Note 11 – Financing Activities for a complete discussion of long-term debt issuances and retirements.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities were $758 million in 2010. Our net debt issuances were $1.2 billion. The net issuances included issuances of $884 million of notes, $287 million of pollution control bonds and a $668 million increase in commercial paper outstanding partially offset by retirements of $1 billion of senior unsecured notes, $86 million of securitization bonds and $183 million of pollution control bonds. Our short-term debt securitized by receivables increased $656 million under the application of new accounting guidance for “Transfers and Servicing” related to our sale of receivables agreement. We paid common stock dividends of $399 million.

In July 2011, AEGCo remarketed $45 million of variable rate Pollution Control Bonds which may be tendered for purchase at the option of the holder. The Pollution Control Bonds are supported by letters of credit which expire in 2014.

In July 2011, I&M retired $2 million of Notes Payable related to DCC Fuel.

In July 2011, SWEPCo retired $41 million of 4.5% Pollution Control Bonds due in 2011.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In prior periods, under a limited set of circumstances, we entered into off-balance sheet arrangements for various reasons including reducing operational expenses and spreading risk of loss to third parties. Our current policy restricts the use of off-balance sheet financing entities or structures to traditional operating lease arrangements that we enter in the normal course of business. The following identifies significant off-balance sheet arrangements:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010

Rockport Plant Unit 2 Future Minimum Lease Payments	$	1,700	$	1,774
Railcars Maximum Potential Loss From Lease Agreement		25		25

For complete information on each of these off-balance sheet arrangements see the “Off-balance Sheet Arrangements” section of “Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis” in the 2010 Annual Report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION INFORMATION

A summary of our contractual obligations is included in our 2010 Annual Report and has not changed significantly from year-end other than the debt issuances and retirements discussed in the “Cash Flow” section above.

MINE SAFETY INFORMATION

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) imposes stringent health and safety standards on various mining operations. The Mine Act and its related regulations affect numerous aspects of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, equipment used in mine emergency procedures, mine plans and other matters. SWEPCo, through its ownership of DHLC, CSPCo, through its ownership of Conesville Coal Preparation Company (CCPC), and OPCo, through its use of the Conner Run fly ash impoundment, are subject to the provisions of the Mine Act.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires companies that operate mines to include in their periodic reports filed with the SEC, certain mine safety information covered by the Mine Act. DHLC, CCPC and Conner Run received the following notices of violation and proposed assessments under the Mine Act for the quarter ended June 30, 2011:

		DHLC		CCPC		Conner Run
Number of Citations for Violations of Mandatory Health or
	Safety Standards under 104 *		-		-		-
Number of Orders Issued under 104(b) *			-		-		-

* References to sections under the Mine Act

DHLC currently has three legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission. Two are related to actions challenging four violations issued by Mine Safety and Health Administration following an employee fatality in March 2009 and the third legal action is challenging a citation issued in August 2010 related to a dragline boom issue.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES, NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

See the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of “Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis” in the 2010 Annual Report for a discussion of the estimates and judgments required for regulatory accounting, revenue recognition, the valuation of long-lived assets, the accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits and the impact of new accounting pronouncements.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Pronouncements Effective in the Future

The FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” eliminating the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. The standard requires other comprehensive income be presented as part of a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in a statement of other comprehensive income immediately following the statement of net income. This standard will change the presentation of our financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. We will retrospectively adopt ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.

Future Accounting Changes

The FASB’s standard-setting process is ongoing and until new standards have been finalized and issued, we cannot determine the impact on the reporting of our operations and financial position that may result from any such future changes. The FASB is currently working on several projects including revenue recognition, financial statements, contingencies, financial instruments, emission allowances, leases, insurance, hedge accounting, consolidation policy and discontinued operations. We also expect to see more FASB projects as a result of its desire to converge International Accounting Standards with GAAP. The ultimate pronouncements resulting from these and future projects could have an impact on our future net income and financial position.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our Utility Operations segment is exposed to certain market risks as a major power producer and through its transactions in wholesale electricity, coal and emission allowance trading and marketing contracts. These risks include commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk because occasionally we procure various services and materials used in our energy business from foreign suppliers. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact us due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates.

Our Generation and Marketing segment, operating primarily within ERCOT and, to a lesser extent, Ohio in PJM and MISO, primarily transacts in wholesale energy marketing contracts. This segment is exposed to certain market risks as a marketer of wholesale electricity. These risks include commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact us due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates.

All Other includes natural gas operations which holds forward natural gas contracts that were not sold with the natural gas pipeline and storage assets. These contracts are financial derivatives, which settle and expire in the fourth quarter of 2011. Our risk objective is to keep these positions generally risk neutral through maturity.

We employ risk management contracts including physical forward purchase and sale contracts and financial forward purchase and sale contracts. We engage in risk management of power, coal and natural gas and, to a lesser degree, heating oil and gasoline, emission allowance and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with our energy business. As a result, we are subject to price risk. The amount of risk taken is determined by the commercial operations group in accordance with the market risk policy approved by the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors. Our market risk oversight staff independently monitors our risk policies, procedures and risk levels and provides members of the Commercial Operations Risk Committee (CORC) various daily, weekly and/or monthly reports regarding compliance with policies, limits and procedures. The CORC consists of our President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations and Chief Risk Officer. When commercial activities exceed predetermined limits, we modify the positions to reduce the risk to be within the limits unless specifically approved by the CORC.

The following table summarizes the reasons for changes in total mark-to-market (MTM) value as compared to December 31, 2010:

(a)	Reflects fair value on primarily long-term structured contracts which are typically with customers that seek fixed pricing to limit their risk against fluctuating energy prices. The contract prices are valued against market curves associated with the delivery location and delivery term. A significant portion of the total volumetric position has been economically hedged.
(b)	Market fluctuations are attributable to various factors such as supply/demand, weather, etc.
(c)	Relates to the net gains (losses) of those contracts that are not reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These net gains (losses) are recorded as regulatory liabilities/assets.

See Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging and Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to our risk management contracts. The following tables and discussion provide information on our credit risk and market volatility risk.

Credit Risk

We limit credit risk in our wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. We use Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

We have risk management contracts with numerous counterparties. Since open risk management contracts are valued based on changes in market prices of the related commodities, our exposures change daily. As of June 30, 2011, our credit exposure net of collateral to sub investment grade counterparties was approximately 7.35%, expressed in terms of net MTM assets, net receivables and the net open positions for contracts not subject to MTM (representing economic risk even though there may not be risk of accounting loss). As of June 30, 2011, the following table approximates our counterparty credit quality and exposure based on netting across commodities, instruments and legal entities where applicable:

Value at Risk (VaR) Associated with Risk Management Contracts

We use a risk measurement model, which calculates VaR, to measure our commodity price risk in the risk management portfolio. The VaR is based on the variance-covariance method using historical prices to estimate volatilities and correlations and assumes a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period. Based on this VaR analysis, as of June 30, 2011, a near term typical change in commodity prices is not expected to have a material effect on our net income, cash flows or financial condition.

The following table shows the end, high, average and low market risk as measured by VaR for the trading portfolio for the periods indicated:

VaR Model

Six Months Ended								Twelve Months Ended
June 30, 2011								December 31, 2010
End		High		Average		Low		End		High		Average		Low
(in millions)								(in millions)
$	-	$	2	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	2	$	1	$	-

We back-test our VaR results against performance due to actual price movements. Based on the assumed 95% confidence interval, the performance due to actual price movements would be expected to exceed the VaR at least once every 20 trading days.

As our VaR calculation captures recent price movements, we also perform regular stress testing of the portfolio to understand our exposure to extreme price movements. We employ a historical-based method whereby the current portfolio is subjected to actual, observed price movements from the last four years in order to ascertain which historical price movements translated into the largest potential MTM loss. We then research the underlying positions, price movements and market events that created the most significant exposure and report the findings to the Risk Executive Committee or the CORC as appropriate.

Interest Rate Risk

We utilize an Earnings at Risk (EaR) model to measure interest rate market risk exposure. EaR statistically quantifies the extent to which our interest expense could vary over the next twelve months and gives a probabilistic estimate of different levels of interest expense. The resulting EaR is interpreted as the dollar amount by which actual interest expense for the next twelve months could exceed expected interest expense with a one-in-twenty chance of occurrence. The primary drivers of EaR are from the existing floating rate debt (including short-term debt) as well as long-term debt issuances in the next twelve months. As calculated on debt outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated EaR on our debt portfolio for the following twelve months was $27 million and $5 million, respectively.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS

General

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our net income, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

Variable Interest Entities

The accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities” is a consolidation model that considers if a company has a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A controlling financial interest will have both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Entities are required to consolidate a VIE when it is determined that they have a controlling financial interest in a VIE and therefore, are the primary beneficiary of that VIE, as defined by the accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities.” In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider factors such as equity at risk, the amount of the VIE’s variability we absorb, guarantees of indebtedness, voting rights including kick-out rights, the power to direct the VIE and other factors. We believe that significant assumptions and judgments were applied consistently.

We are the primary beneficiary of Sabine, DCC Fuel, AEP Credit, Transition Funding and a protected cell of EIS. In addition, we have not provided material financial or other support to Sabine, DCC Fuel, Transition Funding, our protected cell of EIS and AEP Credit that was not previously contractually required. We hold a significant variable interest in DHLC and Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline, LLC West Virginia Series (West Virginia Series).

Sabine is a mining operator providing mining services to SWEPCo. SWEPCo has no equity investment in Sabine but is Sabine’s only customer. SWEPCo guarantees the debt obligations and lease obligations of Sabine. Under the terms of the note agreements, substantially all assets are pledged and all rights under the lignite mining agreement are assigned to SWEPCo. The creditors of Sabine have no recourse to any AEP entity other than SWEPCo. Under the provisions of the mining agreement, SWEPCo is required to pay, as a part of the cost of lignite delivered, an amount equal to mining costs plus a management fee. In addition, SWEPCo determines how much coal will be mined each year. Based on these facts, management concluded that SWEPCo is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate Sabine. SWEPCo’s total billings from Sabine for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $30 million and $30 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $64 million and $ 73 million, respectively. See the tables below for the classification of Sabine’s assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our subsidiaries participate in one protected cell of EIS for approximately ten lines of insurance. EIS has multiple protected cells. Neither AEP nor its subsidiaries have an equity investment in EIS. The AEP System is essentially this EIS cell’s only participant, but allows certain third parties access to this insurance. Our subsidiaries and any allowed third parties share in the insurance coverage, premiums and risk of loss from claims. Based on our control and the structure of the protected cell and EIS, management concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the protected cell and are required to consolidate its assets and liabilities. Our insurance premium expense to the protected cell for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $80 thousand and $ 254 thousand,

respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $30 million and $ 18 million, respectively. See the tables below for the classification of the protected cell’s assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount reported as equity is the protected cell’s policy holders’ surplus.

I&M has a nuclear fuel lease agreement with DCC Fuel LLC, DCC Fuel II LLC and DCC Fuel III LLC (collectively DCC Fuel). DCC Fuel was formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning and leasing nuclear fuel to I&M. DCC Fuel purchased the nuclear fuel from I&M with funds received from the issuance of notes to financial institutions. Each entity is a single-lessee leasing arrangement with only one asset and is capitalized with all debt. DCC Fuel LLC, DCC Fuel II LLC and DCC Fuel III LLC are separate legal entities from I&M, the assets of which are not available to satisfy the debts of I&M. Payments on the DCC Fuel LLC and DCC Fuel II LLC leases are made semi-annually and began in April 2010 and October 2010, respectively. Payments on the DCC Fuel III LLC lease are made monthly and began in January 2011. Payments on the DCC Fuel leases for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $38 million and $ 22 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $43 million and $ 22 million, respectively. The leases were recorded as capital leases on I&M’s balance sheet as title to the nuclear fuel transfers to I&M at the end of the 48, 54 and 54 month lease term, respectively. Based on our control of DCC Fuel, management concluded that I&M is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate DCC Fuel. The capital leases are eliminated upon consolidation. See the tables below for the classification of DCC Fuel’s assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

AEP Credit is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEP. AEP Credit purchases, without recourse, accounts receivable from certain utility subsidiaries of AEP to reduce working capital requirements. AEP provides a minimum of 5% equity and up to 20% of AEP Credit’s short-term borrowing needs in excess of third party financings. Any third party financing of AEP Credit only has recourse to the receivables securitized for such financing. Based on our control of AEP Credit, management has concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and are required to consolidate its assets and liabilities. See the tables below for the classification of AEP Credit’s assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Securitized Accounts Receivable – AEP Credit” section of Note 11.

Transition Funding was formed for the sole purpose of issuing and servicing securitization bonds related to Texas restructuring law. Management has concluded that TCC is the primary beneficiary of Transition Funding because TCC has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and TCC’s equity interest could potentially be significant. Therefore, TCC is required to consolidate Transition Funding. The securitized bonds totaled $1.8 billion and $1.8 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and are included in current and long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Transition Funding has securitized transition assets of $1.7 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31 2010, respectively, which are presented separately on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The securitized transition assets represent the right to impose and collect Texas true-up costs from customers receiving electric transmission or distribution service from TCC under recovery mechanisms approved by the PUCT. The securitization bonds are payable only from and secured by the securitized transition assets. The bondholders have no recourse to TCC or any other AEP entity. TCC acts as the servicer for Transition Funding’s securitized transition asset and remits all related amounts collected from customers to Transition Funding for interest and principal payments on the securitization bonds and related costs.

The balances below represent the assets and liabilities of the VIEs that are consolidated. These balances include intercompany transactions that are eliminated upon consolidation.

DHLC is a mining operator that sells 50% of the lignite produced to SWEPCo and 50% to CLECO. SWEPCo and CLECO share the executive board seats and its voting rights equally. Each entity guarantees 50% of DHLC’s debt. SWEPCo and CLECO equally approve DHLC’s annual budget. The creditors of DHLC have no recourse to any AEP entity other than SWEPCo. As SWEPCo is the sole equity owner of DHLC, it receives 100% of the management fee. SWEPCo’s total billings from DHLC for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $ 15 million and $13 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $ 29 million and $26 million, respectively. We are not required to consolidate DHLC as we are not the primary beneficiary, although we hold a significant variable interest in DHLC. Our equity investment in DHLC is included in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We and Allegheny Energy Inc. (AYE) have a joint venture in Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline, LLC (PATH). In February 2011, FirstEnergy Corp. (FirstEnergy) completed its merger with AYE, under which AYE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstEnergy. Also, in February 2011, PJM directed that work on the PATH project be suspended. PATH is a series limited liability company and was created to construct a high-voltage transmission line project in the PJM region. PATH consists of the “West Virginia Series (PATH-WV),” owned equally by AYE and AEP, and the “Allegheny Series” which is 100% owned by AYE. Provisions exist within the PATH-WV agreement that make it a VIE. The “Allegheny Series” is not considered a VIE. We are not required to consolidate PATH-WV as we are not the primary beneficiary, although we hold a significant variable interest in PATH-WV. Our equity investment in PATH-WV is included in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We and AYE share the returns and losses equally in PATH-WV. Our subsidiaries and AYE’s subsidiaries provide services to the PATH companies through service agreements. As of June 30, 2011, PATH-WV had no debt outstanding. However, when debt is issued, the debt to equity ratio in each series should be consistent with other regulated utilities. The entities recover costs through regulated rates.

Given the structure of the entity, we may be required to provide future financial support to PATH-WV in the form of a capital call. This would be considered an increase to our investment in the entity. Our maximum exposure to loss is to the extent of our investment. The likelihood of such a loss is remote since the FERC approved PATH-WV’s request for regulatory recovery of cost and a return on the equity invested.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding common shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options and awards.

The following table presents our basic and diluted EPS calculations included on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011					2010
	(in millions, except per share data)
			$/share					$/share
Earnings Applicable to AEP Common Shareholders	$	352				$	136

Weighted Average Number of Basic Shares Outstanding		481.9		$	0.73		479.1		$	0.28
Weighted Average Dilutive Effect of:
Stock Options		0.1			-		-			-
Restricted Stock Units		0.2			-		0.1			-
Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding		482.2		$	0.73		479.2		$	0.28

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011				2010
	(in millions, except per share data)
			$/share				$/share
Earnings Applicable to AEP Common Shareholders	$	705			$	480

Weighted Average Number of Basic Shares Outstanding		481.5	$	1.46		478.7	$	1.00
Weighted Average Dilutive Effect of:

Restricted Stock Units		0.2		-		0.1		-
Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding		481.8	$	1.46		479.0	$	1.00

The assumed conversion of stock options does not affect net earnings for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

Options to purchase 70,050 and 432,366 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to AEP common shareholders. Since the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, the effect would have been antidilutive.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Upon issuance of final pronouncements, we review the new accounting literature to determine its relevance, if any, to our business. The following represents a summary of final pronouncements that impact our financial statements.

Pronouncements Issued During 2011

The following standard was issued during the first six months of 2011. The following paragraphs discuss its impact on future financial statements.

ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 eliminating the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. The standard requires other comprehensive income be presented as part of a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in a statement of other comprehensive income immediately following the statement of net income. Reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. This standard must be retrospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date.

The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard will change the presentation of our financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. We will adopt ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.

3. RATE MATTERS

As discussed in the 2010 Annual Report, our subsidiaries are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. The Rate Matters note within our 2010 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report to gain a complete understanding of material rate matters still pending that could impact net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition. The following discusses ratemaking developments in 2011 and updates the 2010 Annual Report.

(c)	In June 2011, an order was received approving recovery of PSO storm costs and associated carrying costs with recovery to begin in August 2011. Starting in the second quarter of 2011, and in accordance with the order received from the OCC, PSO recorded a return on its storm related costs.

CSPCo and OPCo Rate Matters

Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings

2009 – 2011 ESPs

The PUCO issued an order in March 2009 that modified and approved CSPCo’s and OPCo’s ESPs which established rates at the start of the April 2009 billing cycle. The ESPs are in effect through 2011. The order also limited annual rate increases for CSPCo to 7% in 2009, 6% in 2010 and 6% in 2011 and for OPCo to 8% in 2009, 7% in 2010 and 8% in 2011. Some rate components and increases are exempt from these limitations. CSPCo and OPCo collected the 2009 annualized revenue increase over the last nine months of 2009.

The order provided a FAC for the three-year period of the ESP. The FAC was phased in to avoid having the resultant rate increases exceed the ordered annual caps described above. The FAC is subject to quarterly true-ups, annual accounting audits and prudency reviews. See the “2009 Fuel Adjustment Clause Audit” section below. The order allowed CSPCo and OPCo to defer any unrecovered FAC costs resulting from the annual caps and to accrue associated carrying charges at their respective weighted average cost of capital. Any deferred FAC regulatory asset balance at the end of the three-year ESP period will be recovered through a non-bypassable surcharge over the period 2012 through 2018. That recovery will include deferrals associated with the Ormet interim arrangement and is subject to the PUCO’s ultimate decision regarding the Ormet interim arrangement deferrals plus related carrying charges. See the “Ormet Interim Arrangement” section below. The FAC deferral as of June 30, 2011 was $ 27 million and $526 million for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively, excluding $ 388 thousand and $43 million, respectively, of unrecognized equity carrying costs.

Discussed below are the significant outstanding uncertainties related to the ESP order:

The Ohio Consumers’ Counsel filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio raising several issues including alleged retroactive ratemaking, recovery of carrying charges on certain environmental investments, Provider of Last Resort (POLR) charges and the decision not to offset rates by off-system sales margins. In November 2009, the Industrial Energy Users-Ohio (IEU) filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio challenging components of the ESP order including the POLR charge, the distribution riders for gridSMART ® and enhanced reliability, the PUCO’s conclusion and supporting evaluation that the modified ESPs are more favorable than the expected results of a market rate offer, the unbundling of the fuel and non-fuel generation rate components, the scope and design of the fuel adjustment clause and the approval of the plan after the 150-day statutory deadline.

In April 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio (the Court) issued an opinion addressing the aspects of the PUCO's 2009 decision that were challenged which resulted in three reversals, only two of which may have a prospective impact through a remand proceeding. First, the Court concluded that the PUCO's decision amounted to retroactive ratemaking. Since the pertinent revenues were collected in 2009 and the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel did not successfully pursue the remedy of obtaining a stay of the order prior to the revenues being collected, there is no remand to the PUCO or refund to customers for this error. Second, the Court held that the PUCO's conclusion that the POLR charge is cost-based conflicted with the evidence and remanded the issue to the PUCO for further consideration. Third, the Court reversed the order’s legal basis for a carrying charge associated with certain environmental investments and remanded that issue to the PUCO to determine whether an alternative legal basis supports the charge. Pursuant to a May 2011 PUCO order, CSPCo and OPCo implemented rates subject to refund and filed remand testimony in June 2011. For the month ended June 30, 2011, CSPCo and OPCo recorded $ 14 million and $16 million, respectively, of revenues subject to refund. In June 2011, the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel and the IEU filed testimony recommending a complete denial of collection of any POLR charges and carrying charges on certain environmental investments collected from 2009 through 2011. They proposed unfavorable adjustments for CSPCo and OPCo of up to $ 370 million and $417 million, respectively, excluding carrying costs. The proposed adjustments include a reduction of deferred FAC and other regulatory assets for the period prior to June 2011 of up to $ 298 million and $336 million for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively, which management believes is without merit and violates the Court’s decision. The proposed adjustments also include refunds and rate reductions of related revenues beginning in June 2011 of $ 72 million and $81 million for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively. Hearings were held in July 2011.

In April 2010, the IEU filed an additional notice of appeal with the Court challenging alleged retroactive ratemaking, CSPCo and OPCo's abilities to collect through the FAC amounts deferred under the Ormet interim arrangement and the approval of the plan after the 150-day statutory deadline. In June 2011, the Court affirmed the PUCO’s decision and dismissed the IEU’s appeal.

balance to be credited to CSPCo’s customers on a per kilowatt basis. That credit began with the first billing cycle in February 2011 and will continue through December 2011. Several parties, including CSPCo and OPCo, filed requests for rehearing with the PUCO, which were denied in March 2011. In May 2011, the IEU and the Ohio Energy Group filed appeals with the Court challenging the PUCO’s SEET decisions. CSPCo and OPCo are required to file their 2010 SEET filings with the PUCO in 2011. Based upon the approach in the PUCO 2009 order, management does not currently believe that CSPCo or OPCo had any significantly excessive earnings in 2010.

Management is unable to predict the outcome of the ESP remand proceeding and litigation discussed above. If these proceedings, including future SEET filings, result in adverse rulings, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

January 2012 – May 2014 ESP

In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve a new ESP that includes a standard service offer (SSO) pricing on a combined company basis for generation. The rates would be effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012 through the last billing cycle of May 2014. The ESP also includes alternative energy resource requirements and addresses provisions regarding distribution service, energy efficiency requirements, economic development, job retention in Ohio, generation resources and other matters. The SSO presents redesigned generation rates by customer class. Customer class rates vary, but on average, customers will experience base generation increases of 1.4% in 2012 and 2.7% in 2013. The April 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio referenced above in connection with the 2009-2011 ESP could impact the outcome of the January 2012-May 2014 ESP, though the nature and extent of that impact is not presently known. In July 2011, various intervenors filed testimony that generally asserts CSPCo's and OPCo's proposed SSO rates are higher than the market-rate offer, and objects to certain proposed riders as well as to the proposed non-bypassable nature of certain riders. Additionally, the IEU and Ohio Consumers' Counsel object to revenues collected in the period 2009 through 2011 for POLR and carrying charges related to environmental investments and propose similar adjustments as discussed in the ESP remand proceeding. See the "2009-2011 ESPs" section above. A hearing for this case is scheduled for August 2011 and a decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.

2011 Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case

In addition to the annual increases, CSPCo and OPCo requested recovery of the projected December 31, 2012 balances of certain distribution regulatory assets of $216 million and $ 159 million, respectively, including approximately $102 million and $ 84 million, respectively, of unrecognized equity carrying costs. These assets and unrecognized carrying costs would be recovered in a requested distribution asset recovery rider over seven years with additional carrying costs, beginning January 2013. The actual balance of these distribution regulatory assets as of June 30, 2011 was $100 million and $ 64 million for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively, excluding $61 million and $ 45 million, respectively, of unrecognized equity carrying costs. If CSPCo and OPCo are not ultimately permitted to fully recover their deferrals, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Proposed CSPCo and OPCo Merger

In October 2010, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to merge CSPCo into OPCo. Approval of the merger will not affect CSPCo's and OPCo's rates until such time as the PUCO approves new rates, terms and conditions for the merged company. In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the FERC requesting approval for an internal corporate reorganization under which CSPCo will merge into OPCo. CSPCo and OPCo requested the reorganization transaction be effective in October 2011. In July 2011, the FERC issued an order approving the proposed merger. A decision is pending from the PUCO. Management is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

Requested Sporn Unit 5 Shutdown and Proposed Distribution Rider

In October 2010, OPCo filed an application with the PUCO for the approval of a December 2010 closure of Sporn Unit 5 and the simultaneous establishment of a new non-bypassable distribution rider outside the rate caps established in the 2009 – 2011 ESP proceeding. The proposed rider would recover the net book value of the unit as well as related materials and supplies as of December 2010, which was estimated to total $59 million, as well as future closure costs incurred after December 2010. OPCo also requested authority to record the future closure costs as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability with a weighted average cost of capital carrying charge to be included in the proposed non-bypassable distribution rider after the costs are incurred. Pending PUCO approval, Sporn Unit 5 continues to operate. In April 2011, intervenors filed comments opposing OPCo’s application. A PUCO decision is pending as to whether a hearing will be ordered. Management is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

2009 Fuel Adjustment Clause Audit

As required under the ESP orders, the PUCO selected an outside consultant to conduct the audit of the FAC for CSPCo and OPCo for the period of January 2009 through December 2009. In May 2010, the outside consultant provided its confidential audit report to the PUCO. The audit report included a recommendation that the PUCO review whether any proceeds from a 2008 coal contract settlement agreement which totaled $ 72 million should reduce OPCo’s FAC under-recovery balance. Of the total proceeds, approximately $58 million was recognized as a reduction to fuel expense prior to 2009 and $ 14 million was recognized as a reduction to fuel expense in 2009 and 2010. Hearings were held in August 2010. A decision from the PUCO is pending. Management is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding. If the PUCO orders any portion of the $58 million previously recognized gains or any future adjustments be used to reduce the FAC deferral, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2010 Fuel Adjustment Clause Audit

In May 2011, the PUCO-selected outside consultant issued their results of the 2010 FAC audit for CSPCo and OPCo. The audit report included a recommendation that the PUCO reexamine the carrying costs on the deferred FAC balances and determine whether the carrying costs on the balances should be net of accumulated income taxes. As of June 30, 2011, the amount of OPCo’s carrying costs that could potentially be at risk is estimated to be $13 million, excluding $16 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs. The amount of carrying costs for CSPCo that could potentially be at risk is immaterial. A decision from the PUCO is pending. Management is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding. If the PUCO order results in a reduction in the carrying charges related to the FAC deferrals, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Ormet Interim Arrangement

CSPCo, OPCo and Ormet, a large aluminum company, filed an application with the PUCO for approval of an interim arrangement governing the provision of generation service to Ormet. This interim arrangement was approved by the PUCO and was effective from January 2009 through September 2009. In March 2009, the PUCO approved a FAC in the ESP filings and the FAC aspect of the ESP order was upheld by the Supreme Court of Ohio’s April 2011 decision referenced in the “2009-2011 ESPs” section above. The approval of the FAC as part of the ESP, together with the PUCO approval of the interim arrangement, provided the basis to record regulatory assets for the difference between the approved market price and the rate paid by Ormet. Through September 2009, the last month of the interim arrangement, CSPCo and OPCo had $30 million and $34 million, respectively, of deferred FAC related to the interim arrangement including recognized carrying charges. These amounts exclude $1 million and $1 million, respectively, of unrecognized equity carrying costs. In November 2009, CSPCo and OPCo requested that the PUCO approve recovery of the deferrals under the interim agreement plus a weighted average cost of capital carrying charge. The interim arrangement deferrals are included in CSPCo’s and OPCo’s FAC phase-in deferral balances. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section above. In the ESP proceeding, intervenors requested that CSPCo and OPCo be required to refund the Ormet-related regulatory assets and requested that the PUCO prevent CSPCo and OPCo from collecting the Ormet-related revenues in the future. The PUCO did not take any action on this request in the 2009-2011 ESP proceeding. The intervenors raised the issue again in response to CSPCo’s and OPCo’s November 2009 filing to approve recovery of the deferrals under the interim agreement and this issue remains pending before the PUCO. If CSPCo and OPCo are not ultimately permitted to fully recover their requested deferrals under the interim arrangement, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Economic Development Rider

In April 2010, the IEU filed a notice of appeal of the 2009 PUCO-approved Economic Development Rider (EDR) with the Supreme Court of Ohio. The EDR collects from ratepayers the difference between the standard tariff and lower contract billings to qualifying industrial customers, subject to PUCO approval. The IEU raised several issues including claims that: (a) the PUCO lost jurisdiction over CSPCo’s and OPCo’s ESP proceedings and related proceedings when the PUCO failed to issue ESP orders within the 150-day statutory deadline, (b) the EDR should not be exempt from the ESP annual rate limitations and (c) CSPCo and OPCo should not be allowed to apply a weighted average long-term debt carrying cost on deferred EDR regulatory assets. In June 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio affirmed the PUCO’s decision and dismissed the IEU’s appeal.

In June 2010, the IEU filed a notice of appeal of the 2010 PUCO-approved EDR with the Supreme Court of Ohio raising the same issues as noted in the 2009 EDR appeal. In addition, the IEU added a claim that CSPCo and OPCo should not be able to take the benefits of the higher ESP rates while simultaneously challenging the ESP orders. In June 2011, the IEU voluntarily dismissed the 2010 EDR appeal issues that were the same issues dismissed by the Supreme Court of Ohio in their 2009 EDR appeal referenced above. A decision from the Supreme Court of Ohio is pending on the remaining issue.

As of June 30, 2011, CSPCo and OPCo have incurred EDR costs of $59 million and $55 million, respectively, including carrying costs. Of these costs, CSPCo and OPCo have collected $50 million and $39 million, respectively, through the EDR, which CSPCo and OPCo began collecting in January 2010. The remaining $9 million and $16 million for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively, are recorded as deferred EDR regulatory assets. If CSPCo and OPCo are not ultimately permitted to recover their deferrals or are required to refund EDR revenue collected, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Ohio IGCC Plant

In March 2005, CSPCo and OPCo filed a joint application with the PUCO seeking authority to recover costs of building and operating an IGCC power plant. Through June 30, 2011, CSPCo and OPCo have collected $ 12 million and $12 million, respectively, in pre-construction costs authorized in a June 2006 PUCO order and incurred $ 11 million and $11 million, respectively, in pre-construction costs. As a result, CSPCo and OPCo established net regulatory liabilities of approximately $ 1 million and $1 million, respectively. The order also provided that if CSPCo and OPCo have not commenced a continuous course of construction of the proposed IGCC plant before June 2011, any pre-construction costs that may be utilized in projects at other sites must be refunded to Ohio ratepayers with interest. As of June 2011, there were no active IGCC projects at other AEP sites. In June 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed a recommendation with the PUCO to refund to customers $ 2 million and $2 million, respectively, for the over-recovered pre-construction costs including interest. Intervenors have filed motions with the PUCO requesting all collected pre-construction costs be refunded to Ohio ratepayers with interest.

Management cannot predict the outcome of any cost recovery litigation concerning the Ohio IGCC plant or what effect, if any, such litigation would have on future net income and cash flows. However, if CSPCo and OPCo are required to refund pre-construction costs collected in excess of the over-recovered pre-construction costs, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

SWEPCo Rate Matters

Turk Plant

construction commitments of approximately $211 million (including related transmission costs of $ 11 million). SWEPCo’s share of the contractual construction commitments is $157 million. If the plant is cancelled, the joint owners and SWEPCo would incur contractual construction cancellation fees, based on construction status as of June 30, 2011, of approximately $ 101 million (including related transmission cancellation fees of $1 million). SWEPCo’s share of the contractual construction cancellation fees would be approximately $ 74 million.

Discussed below are the significant outstanding uncertainties related to the Turk Plant:

The APSC granted approval for SWEPCo to build the Turk Plant by issuing a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (CECPN) for the 88 MW SWEPCo Arkansas jurisdictional share of the Turk Plant. Following an appeal by certain intervenors, the Arkansas Supreme Court issued a decision that reversed the APSC’s grant of the CECPN. The Arkansas Supreme Court ultimately concluded that the APSC erred in determining the need for additional power supply resources in a proceeding separate from the proceeding in which the APSC granted the CECPN. However, the Arkansas Supreme Court approved the APSC’s procedure of granting CECPNs for transmission facilities in dockets separate from the Turk Plant CECPN proceeding. SWEPCo filed a notice with the APSC of its intent to proceed with construction of the Turk Plant but that SWEPCo no longer intends to pursue a CECPN to seek recovery of the originally approved 88 MW portion of Turk Plant costs in Arkansas retail rates. In June 2010, the APSC issued an order which reversed and set aside the previously granted CECPN.

The PUCT issued an order approving a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) for the Turk Plant with the following conditions: (a) a cap on the recovery of jurisdictional capital costs for the Turk Plant based on the previously estimated $1.522 billion projected construction cost, excluding AFUDC and related transmission costs, (b) a cap on recovery of annual CO 2 emission costs at $ 28 per ton through the year 2030 and (c) a requirement to hold Texas ratepayers financially harmless from any adverse impact related to the Turk Plant not being fully subscribed to by other utilities or wholesale customers. SWEPCo appealed the PUCT’s order contending the two cost cap restrictions are unlawful. The Texas Industrial Energy Consumers filed an appeal contending that the PUCT’s grant of a conditional CCN for the Turk Plant should be revoked because it was unnecessary to serve retail customers. In February 2010, the Texas District Court affirmed the PUCT’s order in all respects. In March 2010, SWEPCo and the Texas Industrial Energy Consumers appealed this decision to the Texas Court of Appeals. Management is unable to predict the timing of the outcome related to this proceeding.

In November 2008, SWEPCo received its required air permit approval from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and commenced construction at the site. The Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission (APCEC) upheld the air permit. The parties who unsuccessfully appealed the air permit to the APCEC filed a notice of appeal with the Circuit Court of Hempstead County, Arkansas. In December 2010, the Circuit Court affirmed the APCEC. In January 2011, the same parties filed a notice of appeal with the Arkansas Court of Appeals. A decision is likely in the second half of 2011.

A wetlands permit was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in December 2009. In 2010, the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society and others filed a complaint in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers challenging the process used and the terms of the permit issued to SWEPCo authorizing certain wetland and stream impacts, and sought a preliminary injunction to halt construction and for a temporary restraining order. In July 2010, the Hempstead County Hunting Club (Hunting Club) also filed a complaint with the Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against SWEPCo, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop construction of the Turk Plant asserting claims of violations of federal and state laws. The plaintiffs’ federal law claims challenge the process used and terms of the permit issued to SWEPCo authorizing certain wetland and stream impacts. The plaintiffs’ state law claims challenge SWEPCo's ability to construct the Turk Plant without obtaining a certificate from the APSC. In October 2010, the Federal District Court certified issues relating to the state law claims to the Arkansas Supreme Court, including whether those claims are within the primary jurisdiction of the APSC. In May 2011, the Arkansas Supreme Court determined that these claims must first be brought before the APSC and that the federal court does not have jurisdiction to hear the state law claims. In 2010, the motions for preliminary injunction were partially granted. According to the preliminary injunction, all uncompleted construction work associated with wetlands, streams or rivers at the Turk Plant must immediately stop. Mitigation measures required by the permit are authorized and may be completed. The preliminary injunction

affects portions of the water intake and portions of two transmission lines. SWEPCo appealed the issuance of the preliminary injunction to the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and in July 2011, the Court of Appeals affirmed the preliminary injunction. Management is unable to predict the timing or the outcome related to this remand proceeding.

In July 2011, SWEPCo reached an agreement in principle that would resolve all pending matters between SWEPCo, the Hunting Club and several other parties. As a result, the Hunting Club’s challenge to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas will be dismissed and the Hunting Club’s appeal of the air permit will be withdrawn. Additional judicial and administrative proceedings will also be terminated. SWEPCo was unable to resolve claims by the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society, so their challenges to the wetlands and air permits will continue.

Management expects that SWEPCo will ultimately be able to complete construction of the Turk Plant and related transmission facilities and place those facilities in service. However, if SWEPCo is unable to complete the Turk Plant construction, including the related transmission facilities, and place the Turk Plant in service or if SWEPCo cannot recover all of its investment and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it would materially reduce future net income and cash flows and materially impact financial condition.

TCC Rate Matters

TEXAS RESTRUCTURING

Texas Restructuring Appeals

Pursuant to PUCT restructuring orders, TCC securitized net recoverable stranded generation costs of $ 2.5 billion and is recovering the principal and interest on the securitization bonds through the end of 2020. TCC also refunded other net true-up regulatory liabilities of $375 million during the period October 2006 through June 2008 via a CTC credit rate rider under PUCT restructuring orders. TCC and intervenors appealed the PUCT’s true-up related orders. After rulings from the Texas District Court and the Texas Court of Appeals, TCC, the PUCT and intervenors filed petitions for review with the Supreme Court of Texas. In July 2011, the Supreme Court of Texas granted review and issued its opinion. The following issues were decided by the Supreme Court:

·	The PUCT’s order denying recovery of capacity auction true-up amounts was reversed. We estimate that, in the remand to the PUCT, TCC will be entitled to recover approximately $ 420 million, plus interest from January 1, 2002.

·	The Supreme Court of Texas reversed the Texas Court of Appeals decision and found that the PUCT could adjust the net book value for what it determined to be commercially unreasonable conduct. This portion of the decision is unfavorable, but was already reflected in our financial statements.

·	The Supreme Court of Texas affirmed the PUCT’s finding that the sales price should be used to value TCC’s nuclear generation. This portion of the decision is favorable, but this issue will have no impact on TCC’s rate recovery as this was already reflected in our financial statements.

The Supreme Court of Texas reversed the Court of Appeal’s decision and found it was appropriate for the PUCT to take into account previously refunded excess mitigation credits to affiliate retail electricity providers. This portion of the decision upheld the PUCT’s decision. However, resolution of related issues will be addressed on remand.

·	The PUCT decisions allowing recovery of construction work in progress balances and specifying the interest rate on stranded costs were upheld. These decisions are already reflected in our financial statements and will not be addressed in the remand proceeding.

No parties have filed for rehearing with the Supreme Court of Texas, and the case will be remanded to the PUCT.

TCC Deferred Investment Tax Credits and Excess Deferred Federal Income Taxes

In 2006, the PUCT reduced recovery of the amount securitized by $ 103 million of tax benefits and associated carrying costs related to TCC’s generation assets. In 2006, TCC obtained a private letter ruling from the IRS which confirmed that such a reduction was an IRS normalization violation. In order to avoid a normalization violation, the PUCT agreed to allow TCC to defer refunding the tax benefits of $103 million plus interest through the CTC refund period pending resolution of the normalization issue. In 2008, the IRS issued final regulations, which supported the IRS’s private letter ruling which would make the refunding of or the reduction of the amount securitized by such tax benefits a normalization violation. After the IRS issued its final regulations the Texas Court of Appeals, at the request of the PUCT, remanded the tax normalization issue to the PUCT for the consideration of additional evidence including the IRS regulations. The issue will be considered by the PUCT when the true-up proceeding is remanded following the July 2011 Supreme Court of Texas decision. See the “Texas Restructuring Appeals” section above. TCC is not accruing interest on the $103 million because management believes it is not probable that the PUCT will order TCC to violate the normalization provision of the Internal Revenue Code. If interest were accrued, management estimates interest expense would have been approximately $27 million higher for the period July 2008 through June 2011.

Management believes that the PUCT will ultimately allow TCC to retain the deferred amounts, which would have a favorable effect on future net income and cash flows. Although unexpected, if the PUCT fails to issue a favorable order and orders TCC to return the tax benefits to customers, the resulting normalization violation could result in TCC’s repayment to the IRS of Accumulated Deferred Investment Tax Credits (ADITC) on all property, including transmission and distribution property. This amount approximates $101 million as of June 30, 2011. It could also lead to a loss of TCC’s right to claim accelerated tax depreciation in future tax returns. If TCC is required to repay its ADITC to the IRS and is also required to refund ADITC plus unaccrued interest to customers, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

TCC Excess Earnings

In 2005, a Texas appellate court issued a decision finding that a PUCT order requiring TCC to refund to the REPs excess earnings prior to and outside of the true-up process was unlawful under the Texas Restructuring Legislation. From 2002 to 2005, TCC refunded $55 million of excess earnings, including interest, under the overturned PUCT order. The PUCT must determine if adjustments are required on remand based on the July 2011 decision of the Supreme Court of Texas on the impact of excess earnings in the true-up proceeding. See the “Texas Restructuring Appeals” section above.

APCo and WPCo Rate Matters

2011 Virginia Biennial Base Rate Case

In March 2011, APCo filed a generation and distribution base rate request with the Virginia SCC to increase annual base rates by $126 million based upon an 11.65% return on common equity to be effective no later than February 2012. The return on common equity includes a requested 0.5% renewable portfolio standards incentive as allowed by law. APCo proposed to mitigate the requested base rate increase by $ 51 million by maintaining current depreciation rates until the next biennial filing. If approved, APCo’s net base rate increase would be $75 million. In July 2011, an Attorney General witness recommended an $ 80 million reduction in APCo’s requested rate year capacity charges.

Rate Adjustment Clauses

In 2007, the Virginia law governing the regulation of electric utility service was amended to, among other items, provide for rate adjustment clauses (RACs) beginning in January 2009 for the timely and current recovery of costs of: (a) transmission services billed by an RTO, (b) demand side management and energy efficiency programs, (c) renewable energy programs, (d) environmental compliance projects and (e) new generation facilities, including major unit modifications. In March 2011, APCo filed for approval of an environmental RAC, a renewable energy program RAC and a generation RAC simultaneous with the 2011 Virginia base rate filing. The environmental RAC is requesting recovery of environmental compliance costs incurred from January 2009 through December 2010 of $38 million annually based on a two-year amortization. The renewable energy program RAC is requesting the

incremental portion of deferred wind power costs for the Camp Grove and Fowler Ridge projects of $ 6 million. The generation RAC is requesting recovery of the Dresden Plant, currently under construction, which APCo has requested to purchase from AEGCo.

In accordance with Virginia law, APCo is deferring incremental environmental costs incurred after December 2008 and renewable energy costs incurred after August 2009 which are not being recovered in current revenues. As of June 30, 2011, APCo has deferred $65 million of environmental costs (excluding $15 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs) and $38 million of renewable energy costs. APCo plans to seek recovery of non-incremental deferred wind power costs ($ 32 million as of June 30, 2011) in future rate proceedings. If the Virginia SCC were to disallow a portion of APCo’s deferred costs, it would reduce future net income and cash flows.

2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case

In May 2010, APCo and WPCo filed a request with the WVPSC to increase annual base rates by $156 million based on an 11.75% return on common equity to be effective March 2011. In March 2011, the WVPSC modified and approved a settlement agreement which increased annual base rates by approximately $51 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. The settlement agreement also resulted in a pretax write-off of a portion of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Product Validation Facility in the first quarter of 2011. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section below. In addition, the WVPSC allowed APCo to defer and amortize $ 18 million of previously expensed 2009 incremental storm expenses and allowed APCo and WPCo to defer and amortize $15 million of previously expensed costs related to the 2010 cost reduction initiatives, each over a period of seven years.

Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project

Product Validation Facility (PVF)

APCo and ALSTOM Power, Inc., an unrelated third party, jointly constructed a CO 2 capture validation facility, which was placed into service in September 2009. APCo also constructed and owns the necessary facilities to store the CO 2 . In October 2009, APCo started injecting CO 2 into the underground storage facilities. The injection of CO 2 required the recording of an asset retirement obligation and an offsetting regulatory asset. In May 2011, the PVF ended operations and decommissioning of the facility began.

In APCo’s and WPCo’s May 2010 West Virginia base rate filing, APCo and WPCo requested rate base treatment of the PVF, including recovery of the related asset retirement obligation regulatory asset amortization and accretion. In March 2011, a WVPSC order denied the request for rate base treatment of the PVF largely due to its experimental operation. The base rate order provided that should APCo construct a commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facility, only the West Virginia portion of the PVF costs, based on load sharing among certain AEP operating companies, may be considered used and useful plant in service and included in future rate base. As a result, APCo recorded a pretax write-off of $ 41 million ($26 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2011 recorded to Other Operation expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case” section above. As of June 30, 2011, APCo has recorded a noncurrent regulatory asset of $19 million related to the PVF. If APCo cannot recover its remaining PVF investment and related accretion expenses, it would reduce future net income and cash flows.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project with the Department of Energy (DOE) (Commercial Scale Project)

During 2010, AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, began the project definition stage for the potential construction of a new commercial scale CCS facility at the Mountaineer Plant. AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, applied for and was selected to receive funding from the DOE for the project. The DOE agreed to fund 50% of allowable costs incurred for the CCS facility up to a maximum of $ 334 million. In July 2011, management informed the DOE that it will complete a Front-End Engineering and Design study during the third quarter of 2011, but it is postponing any further CCS project activities because of the uncertainty about the regulation of CO 2 . As of June 30, 2011, the project has incurred $30 million in total costs and has received $10 million of DOE eligible funding resulting in a $20 million net balance recorded in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Requests for recovery are in process in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. If the costs of the CCS project cannot be recovered, it would reduce future net income and cash flows.

APCo’s Filings for an IGCC Plant

In 2008, the Virginia SCC issued an order denying APCo’s request for a surcharge rate mechanism to provide for the timely recovery of pre-construction costs and the ongoing financing costs of the project during the construction period, as well as the capital costs, operating costs and a return on common equity once the facility is placed into commercial operation. The order was based upon the Virginia SCC's finding that the estimated cost of the plant was uncertain and may escalate. The Virginia SCC also expressed concerns that the estimated costs did not include a retrofitting of CCS facilities. During 2009, based on the order received in Virginia, the WVPSC removed the IGCC case as an active case from its docket and indicated that the conditional Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need granted in 2008 must be reconsidered if and when APCo proceeds with the IGCC plant.

Through June 30, 2011, APCo deferred for future recovery pre-construction IGCC costs of approximately $9 million applicable to its West Virginia jurisdiction, approximately $2 million applicable to its FERC jurisdiction and approximately $9 million applicable to its Virginia jurisdiction.

APCo will not start construction of the IGCC plant until sufficient assurance of full cost recovery exists in Virginia and West Virginia. If the plant is cancelled, APCo plans to seek recovery of its prudently incurred deferred pre-construction costs. If the costs are not recoverable, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

APCo’s and WPCo’s Expanded Net Energy Charge (ENEC) Filing

In September 2009, the WVPSC issued an order approving APCo’s and WPCo’s March 2009 ENEC request. The approved order provided for recovery of an under-recovered balance plus a projected increase in ENEC costs over a four-year phase-in period with an overall increase of $ 355 million and a first-year increase of $124 million, effective October 2009.

In June 2010, the WVPSC approved a settlement agreement for $ 96 million, including $10 million of construction surcharges related to APCo’s and WPCo’s second year ENEC increase. The settlement agreement allows APCo to accrue a weighted average cost of a capital carrying charge on the excess under-recovery balance due to the ENEC phase-in as adjusted for the impacts of Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes. The new rates became effective in July 2010.

In June 2011, the WVPSC issued an order approving a $ 98 million annual increase including $8 million of construction surcharges and $ 8 million of carrying charges related to APCo’s and WPCo’s third year ENEC increase. The order also allows APCo to accrue a fixed annual carrying cost rate of 4%. The new rates became effective in July 2011. Additionally, the order approved APCo’s request to purchase the Dresden Plant, currently under construction, from AEGCo and approved deferral of post in-service Dresden Plant costs, including a return, for future recovery. As of June 30, 2011, APCo’s ENEC under-recovery balance was $ 387 million, excluding $8 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs, which is included in noncurrent regulatory assets. If the WVPSC were to disallow a portion of APCo’s and WPCo’s deferred ENEC costs, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

PSO Rate Matters

PSO 2008 Fuel and Purchased Power

In July 2009, the OCC initiated a proceeding to review PSO’s fuel and purchased power adjustment clause for the calendar year 2008 and also initiated a prudency review of the related costs. In March 2010, the Oklahoma Attorney General and the Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers (OIEC) recommended the fuel clause adjustment rider be amended so that the shareholder’s portion of off-system sales margins decrease from 25% to 10%. The OIEC also recommended that the OCC conduct a comprehensive review of all affiliate fuel transactions during 2007 and 2008. In July 2010, additional testimony regarding the 2007 transfer of ERCOT trading contracts to AEPEP was filed. The testimony included unquantified refund recommendations relating to re-pricing of those ERCOT trading contracts. Hearings were held in June 2011. If the OCC were to issue an unfavorable decision, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

I&M Rate Matters

Michigan 2009 and 2010 Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR) Reconciliations (Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown)

In March 2010, I&M filed its 2009 PSCR reconciliation with the MPSC. The filing included an adjustment to exclude from the PSCR the incremental fuel cost of replacement power due to the Unit 1 outage from mid-December 2008 through December 2009, the period during which I&M received and recognized accidental outage insurance proceeds. In October 2010, a settlement agreement was filed with the MPSC which included deferring the Unit 1 outage issue to the 2010 PSCR reconciliation. In March 2011, I&M filed its 2010 PSCR reconciliation with the MPSC. If any fuel clause revenues or accidental outage insurance proceeds have to be paid to customers, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See the “Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown” section of Note 4.

2011 Michigan Base Rate Case

FERC Rate Matters

Seams Elimination Cost Allocation (SECA) Revenue Subject to Refund

In 2004, AEP eliminated transaction-based through-and-out transmission service (T&O) charges in accordance with FERC orders and collected, at the FERC’s direction, load-based charges, referred to as RTO SECA, to partially mitigate the loss of T&O revenues on a temporary basis through March 2006. Intervenors objected to the temporary SECA rates. The FERC set SECA rate issues for hearing and ordered that the SECA rate revenues be collected, subject to refund. The AEP East companies recognized gross SECA revenues of $220 million from 2004 through 2006 when the SECA rates terminated.

In 2006, a FERC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued an initial decision finding that the SECA rates charged were unfair, unjust and discriminatory and that new compliance filings and refunds should be made. The ALJ also found that any unpaid SECA rates must be paid in the recommended reduced amount.

AEP filed briefs jointly with other affected companies asking the FERC to reverse the decision. In May 2010, the FERC issued an order that generally supports AEP’s position and required a compliance filing to be filed with the FERC by August 2010. In June 2010, AEP and other affected companies filed a joint request for rehearing with the FERC.

In August 2010, the affected companies, including the AEP East companies, filed a compliance filing with the FERC. If the compliance filing is accepted, the AEP East companies would have to pay refunds of approximately $20 million including estimated interest of $5 million. The AEP East companies could also potentially receive payments up to approximately $10 million including estimated interest of $3 million. A decision is pending from the FERC.

The FERC has approved settlements applicable to $112 million of SECA revenue. The AEP East companies provided reserves for net refunds for SECA settlements applicable to the remaining $108 million of SECA revenues collected. Based on the AEP East companies’ analysis of the May 2010 order and the compliance filing, management believes that the reserve is adequate to pay the refunds, including interest, that will be required should the May 2010 order or the compliance filing be made final. Management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding at the FERC which could impact future net income and cash flows.

Possible Termination of the Interconnection Agreement

In December 2010, each of the AEP Power Pool members gave notice to AEPSC and each other of their decision to terminate the Interconnection Agreement effective January 2014 or such other date approved by FERC, subject to state regulatory input. No filings have been made at the FERC. It is unknown at this time whether the AEP Power Pool will be replaced by a new agreement among some or all of the members, whether individual companies will enter into bilateral or multi-party contracts with each other for power sales and purchases or asset transfers or if each company will choose to operate independently. This decision to terminate is subject to management’s ongoing evaluation. The AEP Power Pool members may revoke their notices of termination. If any of the AEP Power Pool members experience decreases in revenues or increases in costs as a result of the termination of the AEP Power Pool and are unable to recover the change in revenues and costs through rates, prices or additional sales, it could reduce future net income and cash flows.

PJM/MISO Market Flow Calculation Settlement Adjustments

During 2009, an analysis conducted by MISO and PJM discovered several instances of unaccounted for power flows on numerous coordinated flowgates. These flows affected the settlement data for congestion revenues and expenses and dated back to the start of the MISO market in 2005. In January 2011, PJM and MISO reached a settlement agreement where the parties agreed to net various issues to zero. In June 2011, the FERC approved the settlement agreement.

4. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in our ordinary course of business. In addition, our business activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation related to public health and the environment. The ultimate outcome of such pending or potential litigation against us cannot be predicted. For current proceedings not specifically discussed below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. The Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies note within our 2010 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report.

GUARANTEES

We record liabilities for guarantees in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Guarantees.” There is no collateral held in relation to any guarantees in excess of our ownership percentages. In the event any guarantee is drawn, there is no recourse to third parties unless specified below.

Letters of Credit

We enter into standby letters of credit with third parties. As Parent, we issue all of these letters of credit in our ordinary course of business on behalf of our subsidiaries. These letters of credit cover items such as gas and electricity risk management contracts, construction contracts, insurance programs, security deposits and debt service reserves.

We have two $ 1.5 billion credit facilities, under which we may issue up to $1.35 billion as letters of credit. In July 2011, we replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the two $1.5 billion credit facilities were $ 132 million with maturities ranging from September 2011 to April 2012.

In March 2011, we terminated a $478 million credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in April 2011 and was used to support $472 million of variable rate Pollution Control Bonds. In March 2011, we remarketed $357 million of variable rate Pollution Control Bonds using bilateral letters of credit for $361 million to support the remarketed Pollution Control Bonds. The remaining $115 million of Pollution Control Bonds were reacquired and are held by trustees.

Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations

SWEPCo

As part of the process to receive a renewal of a Texas Railroad Commission permit for lignite mining, SWEPCo provides guarantees of mine reclamation of approximately $ 65 million. In July 2011, SWEPCo’s guarantee was increased to $100 million due to expansion of the mining area. Since SWEPCo uses self-bonding, the guarantee provides for SWEPCo to commit to use its resources to complete the reclamation in the event the work is not completed by Sabine Mining Company (Sabine), a consolidated variable interest entity. This guarantee ends upon depletion of reserves and completion of final reclamation. Based on the latest study, we estimate the reserves will be depleted in 2036 with final reclamation completed by 2046 at an estimated cost of approximately $58 million. As of June 30, 2011, SWEPCo has collected approximately $51 million through a rider for final mine closure and reclamation costs, of which $1 million is recorded in Other Current Liabilities, $30 million is recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities and $20 million is recorded in Asset Retirement Obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sabine charges SWEPCo, its only customer, all of its costs. SWEPCo passes these costs to customers through its fuel clause.

Indemnifications and Other Guarantees

Contracts

We enter into several types of contracts which require indemnifications. Typically these contracts include, but are not limited to, sale agreements, lease agreements, purchase agreements and financing agreements. Generally, these agreements may include, but are not limited to, indemnifications around certain tax, contractual and environmental matters. With respect to sale agreements, our exposure generally does not exceed the sale price. The status of certain sale agreements is discussed in the 2010 Annual Report “Dispositions” section of Note 7. As of June 30, 2011, there were no material liabilities recorded for any indemnifications.

Master Lease Agreements

We lease certain equipment under master lease agreements. In December 2010, we signed a new master lease agreement with GE Capital Commercial Inc. (GE) for approximately $ 137 million to replace existing operating and capital leases with GE. We refinanced $60 million of capital leases and $ 77 million of operating leases. These assets were included in existing master lease agreements that were to be terminated in 2011 since GE exercised the termination provision related to these leases in 2008. In January 2011, we purchased $5 million of previously leased assets that were not included in the 2010 refinancing. In June 2011, we placed an additional $11 million of previously leased assets under a new capital lease.

For equipment under the GE master lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed receipt of up to 78% of the unamortized balance of the equipment at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the leased equipment is below the unamortized balance at the end of the lease term, we are committed to pay the difference between the fair value and the unamortized balance, with the total guarantee not to exceed 78% of the unamortized balance. For equipment under other master lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed a residual value up to a stated percentage of either the unamortized balance or the equipment cost at the end of the lease term. If the actual fair value of the leased equipment is below the guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term, we are committed to pay the difference between the actual fair value and the residual value guarantee. At June 30, 2011, the maximum potential loss for these lease agreements was approximately $15 million assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the lease term. Historically, at the end of the lease term the fair value has been in excess of the unamortized balance.

Railcar Lease

In June 2003, AEP Transportation LLC (AEP Transportation), a subsidiary of AEP, entered into an agreement with BTM Capital Corporation, as lessor, to lease 875 coal-transporting aluminum railcars. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. In January 2008, AEP Transportation assigned the remaining 848 railcars under the original lease agreement to I&M (390 railcars) and SWEPCo (458 railcars). The assignments are accounted for as operating leases for I&M and SWEPCo. The initial lease term was five years with three consecutive five-year renewal periods for a maximum lease term of twenty years. I&M and SWEPCo intend to renew these leases for the full lease term of twenty years via the renewal options. The future minimum lease obligations are $16 million for I&M and $18 million for SWEPCo for the remaining railcars as of June 30, 2011.

Under the lease agreement, the lessor is guaranteed that the sale proceeds under a return-and-sale option will equal at least a lessee obligation amount specified in the lease, which declines from approximately 84% under the current five year lease term to 77% at the end of the 20-year term of the projected fair value of the equipment. I&M and SWEPCo have assumed the guarantee under the return-and-sale option. I&M’s maximum potential loss related to the guarantee is approximately $12 million and SWEPCo’s is approximately $13 million assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the current five-year lease term. However, we believe that the fair value would produce a sufficient sales price to avoid any loss.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES

Carbon Dioxide Public Nuisance Claims

In 2004, eight states and the City of New York filed an action in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEP, AEPSC, Cinergy Corp, Xcel Energy, Southern Company and Tennessee Valley Authority. The Natural Resources Defense Council, on behalf of three special interest groups, filed a similar complaint against the same defendants. The actions allege that CO 2 emissions from the defendants’ power plants constitute a public nuisance under federal common law due to impacts of global warming and sought injunctive relief in the form of specific emission reduction commitments from the defendants. The trial court dismissed the lawsuits.

In September 2009, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on appeal remanding the cases to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Second Circuit held that the issues of climate change and global warming do not raise political questions and that Congress’ refusal to regulate CO 2 emissions does not mean that plaintiffs must wait for an initial policy determination by Congress or the President’s administration to secure the relief sought in their complaints. The court stated that Congress could enact comprehensive legislation to regulate CO 2 emissions or that the Federal EPA could regulate CO 2 emissions under existing CAA authorities and that either of these actions could override any decision made by the district court under federal common law. The Second Circuit did not rule on whether the plaintiffs could proceed with their state common law nuisance claims. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the defendants’ petition for review. In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals, finding that plaintiffs’ federal common law claims are displaced by the regulatory authority granted to the Federal EPA under the CAA.

In October 2009, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a decision by the Federal District Court for the District of Mississippi dismissing state common law nuisance claims in a putative class action by Mississippi residents asserting that CO 2 emissions exacerbated the effects of Hurricane Katrina. The Fifth Circuit held that there was no exclusive commitment of the common law issues raised in plaintiffs’ complaint to a coordinate branch of government and that no initial policy determination was required to adjudicate these claims. The court granted petitions for rehearing. An additional recusal left the Fifth Circuit without a quorum to reconsider the decision and the appeal was dismissed, leaving the district court’s decision in place. Plaintiffs filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to remand the case to the Fifth Circuit and reinstate the panel decision. The petition was denied in January 2011. Plaintiffs refiled their complaint in federal district court. We believe the claims are without merit, and in addition to other defenses, are barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel and the applicable statute of limitations. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims. We are unable to determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

Alaskan Villages’ Claims

In 2008, the Native Village of Kivalina and the City of Kivalina, Alaska filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Northern District of California against AEP, AEPSC and 22 other unrelated defendants including oil and gas companies, a coal company and other electric generating companies. The complaint alleges that the defendants' emissions of CO 2 contribute to global warming and constitute a public and private nuisance and that the defendants are acting together. The complaint further alleges that some of the defendants, including AEP, conspired to create a false scientific debate about global warming in order to deceive the public and perpetuate the alleged nuisance. The plaintiffs also allege that the effects of global warming will require the relocation of the village at an alleged cost of $ 95 million to $400 million. In October 2009, the judge dismissed plaintiffs’ federal common law claim for nuisance, finding the claim barred by the political question doctrine and by plaintiffs’ lack of standing to bring the claim. The judge also dismissed plaintiffs’ state law claims without prejudice to refiling in state court. The plaintiffs appealed the decision. Briefing is complete and no date has been set for oral argument. The defendants requested that the court defer setting this case for oral argument until after the Supreme Court issues its decision in the CO 2 public nuisance case discussed above. The court entered an order deferring argument until after June 2011 and the parties requested supplemental briefing on the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision. We believe the action is without merit and intend to defend against the claims. We are unable to determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation

By-products from the generation of electricity include materials such as ash, slag, sludge, low-level radioactive waste and SNF. Coal combustion by-products, which constitute the overwhelming percentage of these materials, are typically treated and deposited in captive disposal facilities or are beneficially utilized. In addition, our generating plants and transmission and distribution facilities have used asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and other hazardous and nonhazardous materials. We currently incur costs to dispose of these substances safely.

In March 2008, I&M received a letter from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) concerning conditions at a site under state law and requesting I&M take voluntary action necessary to prevent and/or mitigate public harm. I&M started remediation work in accordance with a plan approved by MDEQ. I&M’s provision is approximately $11 million. As the remediation work is completed, I&M’s cost may continue to increase as new information becomes available concerning either the level of contamination at the site or changes in the scope of remediation required by the MDEQ. We cannot predict the amount of additional cost, if any.

Amos Plant – State and Federal Enforcement Proceedings

In March 2010, we received a letter from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Quality (DAQ), alleging that at various times in 2007 through 2009 the units at Amos Plant reported periods of excess opacity (indicator of compliance with PM emission limits) that lasted for more than 30 consecutive minutes in a 24-hour period and that certain required notifications were not made. We met with representatives of DAQ to discuss these occurrences and the steps we have taken to prevent a recurrence. DAQ indicated that additional enforcement action may be taken, including imposition of a civil penalty of approximately $240 thousand. We have denied that violations of the reporting requirements occurred and maintain that the proper reporting was done. In March 2011, we resolved these issues through the entry of a consent order that included the payment of a $75 thousand civil penalty and certain improvements in our opacity reports.

In March 2010, we received a request to show cause from the Federal EPA alleging that certain reporting requirements under Superfund and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act had been violated and inviting us to engage in settlement negotiations. The request includes a proposed civil penalty of approximately $300 thousand. We indicated our willingness to engage in good faith negotiations and provided additional information to representatives of the Federal EPA. We have not admitted that any violations occurred or that the amount of the proposed penalty is reasonable.

NUCLEAR CONTINGENCIES

I&M owns and operates the two-unit 2,191 MW Cook Plant under licenses granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. We have a significant future financial commitment to dispose of SNF and to safely decommission and decontaminate the plant. The licenses to operate the two nuclear units at the Cook Plant expire in 2034 and 2037. The operation of a nuclear facility also involves special risks, potential liabilities and specific regulatory and safety requirements. By agreement, I&M is partially liable, together with all other electric utility companies that own nuclear generating units, for a nuclear power plant incident at any nuclear plant in the U.S. Should a nuclear incident occur at any nuclear power plant in the U.S., the resultant liability could be substantial.

Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown

In September 2008, I&M shut down Cook Plant Unit 1 (Unit 1) due to turbine vibrations, caused by blade failure, which resulted in significant turbine damage and a small fire on the electric generator. This equipment, located in the turbine building, is separate and isolated from the nuclear reactor. The turbine rotors that caused the vibration were installed in 2006 and are within the vendor’s warranty period. The warranty provides for the repair or replacement of the turbine rotors if the damage was caused by a defect in materials or workmanship. Repair of the property damage and replacement of the turbine rotors and other equipment could cost up to approximately $408 million. Management believes that I&M should recover a significant portion of these costs through the turbine vendor’s warranty, insurance and the regulatory process. I&M repaired Unit 1 and it resumed operations in December 2009 at slightly reduced power. The Unit 1 rotors were repaired and reinstalled due to the extensive lead time required to manufacture and install new turbine rotors. The replacement of the repaired turbine rotors and other equipment is scheduled for the Unit 1 planned outage in the fall of 2011.

I&M maintains insurance through NEIL. As of June 30, 2011, we recorded $60 million in Prepayments and Other Current Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets representing amounts under NEIL insurance policies. Through June 30, 2011, I&M received partial payments of $ 203 million from NEIL for the cost incurred to date to repair the property damage.

NEIL is reviewing claims made under the insurance policies to ensure that claims associated with the outage are covered by the policies. The review by NEIL includes the timing of the unit’s return to service and whether the return should have occurred earlier reducing the amount received under the accidental outage policy. The treatment of property damage costs and insurance proceeds will be the subject of future regulatory proceedings in Indiana and Michigan. If the ultimate costs of the incident are not covered by warranty, insurance or through the regulatory process or if any future regulatory proceedings are adverse, it could have an adverse impact on net income, cash flows and financial condition.

OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCIES

Fort Wayne Lease

Since 1975, I&M has leased certain energy delivery assets from the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana under a long-term lease that expired on February 28, 2010. I&M negotiated with Fort Wayne to purchase the assets at the end of the lease, but no agreement was reached prior to the end of the lease.

I&M and Fort Wayne reached a settlement agreement. The agreement, signed in October 2010, is subject to approval by the IURC. I&M filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the agreement, including recovery in rates of payments made to Fort Wayne. If the agreement is approved, I&M will purchase the remaining leased property and settle claims Fort Wayne asserted. The agreement provides that I&M will pay Fort Wayne a total of $ 39 million, inclusive of interest, over 15 years and Fort Wayne will recognize that I&M is the exclusive electricity supplier in the Fort Wayne area. In April 2011, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) filed comments opposing portions of the settlement agreement. An agreement with the OUCC was reached and hearing before the IURC occurred in June 2011. IURC approval of the agreement is expected during the third quarter of 2011. If the agreement is not approved by the IURC, the parties have the right to terminate the agreement and pursue other relief.

Enron Bankruptcy

In 2001, we purchased Houston Pipeline Company (HPL) from Enron. Various HPL-related contingencies and indemnities from Enron remained unsettled at the date of Enron’s bankruptcy. In connection with our acquisition of HPL, we entered into an agreement with BAM Lease Company, which granted HPL the exclusive right to use approximately 55 billion cubic feet (BCF) of cushion gas required for the normal operation of the Bammel gas storage facility. At the time of our acquisition of HPL, BOA and certain other banks (the BOA Syndicate) and Enron entered into an agreement granting HPL the exclusive use of the cushion gas. Also at the time of our acquisition, Enron and the BOA Syndicate released HPL from all prior and future liabilities and obligations in connection with the financing arrangement. After the Enron bankruptcy, the BOA Syndicate informed HPL of a purported default by Enron under the terms of the financing arrangement. This dispute was litigated in the Enron bankruptcy proceedings and in federal courts in Texas and New York.

In 2007, the judge in the New York action issued a decision on all claims, including those that were pending trial in Texas, granting BOA summary judgment and dismissing our claims. In August 2008, the New York court entered a final judgment of $346 million. In May 2009, the judge awarded $20 million of attorneys’ fees to BOA. We appealed these awards and posted bonds covering the amounts. In October 2010, the Court of Appeals affirmed the New York district court’s decision as to the final judgment of $346 million and reversed the New York district court decision as to the judgment dismissing our claims against BOA in the Southern District of Texas.

In 2005, we sold our interest in HPL for approximately $1 billion. Although the assets were legally transferred, we were unable to determine all costs associated with the transfer until the BOA litigation was resolved. We indemnified the buyer of HPL against any damages up to the purchase price resulting from the BOA litigation, including the right to use the 55 BCF of natural gas through 2031. As a result, we deferred the entire gain related to the sale of HPL (approximately $ 380 million) pending resolution of the Enron and BOA disputes.

The deferred gain related to the sale of HPL, plus accrued interest and attorneys’ fees related to the New York court’s judgment was $448 million at December 31, 2010 and was included in Current Liabilities – Deferred Gain and Accrued Litigation Costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In February 2011, we reached a settlement covering all claims with BOA and Enron for $425 million. As part of the settlement, we received title to the 55 BCF of natural gas in the Bammel storage facility and recorded this asset at fair value. Under the HPL sales agreement, we have a service obligation to the buyer for the right to use the cushion gas through May 2031. We recognized the obligation as a liability and will amortize it over the life of the agreement.

The settlement resulted in a pretax gain of $51 million and a net loss after tax of $22 million primarily due to an unrealized capital loss valuation allowance of $56 million.

At the time of the settlement, the following table sets forth its impact on our 2011 financial statements:

	(in millions)

Natural Gas Markets Lawsuits

In 2002, the Lieutenant Governor of California filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County California Superior Court against numerous energy companies, including AEP, alleging violations of California law through alleged fraudulent reporting of false natural gas price and volume information with an intent to affect the market price of natural gas and electricity. AEP was dismissed from the case. A number of similar cases were also filed in California and in state and federal courts in several states making essentially the same allegations under federal or state laws against the same companies. AEP (or a subsidiary) is among the companies named as defendants in some of these cases. In 2008, we settled all of the cases pending against us in California. In July 2011, the judge in the Federal District Court in Las Vegas granted summary judgment dismissing the cases where AEP companies were defendants. Also in July 2011, the plaintiffs in these cases filed notices of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. We will continue to defend the remaining case in Ohio where an AEP company is a defendant and all appeals of the cases that were just dismissed by the federal judge in Las Vegas. We believe the provision we have for the remaining cases is adequate. We believe the remaining exposure is immaterial.

5. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITIONS

7. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

As outlined in our 2010 Annual Report, our primary business is our electric utility operations. Within our Utility Operations segment, we centrally dispatch generation assets and manage our overall utility operations on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight. While our Utility Operations segment remains our primary business segment, other segments include our AEP River Operations segment with significant barging activities and our Generation and Marketing segment, which includes our nonregulated generating, marketing and risk management activities primarily in the ERCOT market area and, to a lesser extent, Ohio in PJM and MISO. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally based on underlying contractual arrangements and agreements.

Our reportable segments and their related business activities are as follows:

Utility Operations

· Generation of electricity for sale to U.S. retail and wholesale customers.

· Electricity transmission and distribution in the U.S.

AEP River Operations

·	Commercial barging operations that transport coal and dry bulk commodities primarily on the Ohio, Illinois and lower Mississippi Rivers.

Generation and Marketing

·	Wind farms and marketing and risk management activities primarily in ERCOT and, to a lesser extent, Ohio in PJM and MISO.

The remainder of our activities is presented as All Other. While not considered a business segment, All Other includes:

·	Parent’s guarantee revenue received from affiliates, investment income, interest income and interest expense and other nonallocated costs.

·	Forward natural gas contracts that were not sold with our natural gas pipeline and storage operations in 2004 and 2005. These contracts are financial derivatives which settle and expire in the fourth quarter of 2011.

·	Revenue sharing related to the Plaquemine Cogeneration Facility which ends in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The tables below present our reportable segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and balance sheet information as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. These amounts include certain estimates and allocations where necessary.

8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

OBJECTIVES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to certain market risks as a major power producer and marketer of wholesale electricity, coal and emission allowances. These risks include commodity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact us due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. We manage these risks using derivative instruments.

STRATEGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Trading Strategies

Our strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes focuses on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of the commodities in which we transact.

Risk Management Strategies

Our strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments focuses on managing our risk exposures, future cash flows and creating value utilizing both economic and formal hedging strategies. To accomplish our objectives, we primarily employ risk management contracts including physical forward purchase and sale contracts, financial forward purchase and sale contracts and financial swap instruments. Not all risk management contracts meet the definition of a derivative under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative risk management contracts elected normal under the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are not subject to the requirements of this accounting guidance.

We enter into power, coal, natural gas, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, heating oil and gasoline, emission allowance and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with our energy business. We enter into interest rate derivative contracts in order to manage the interest rate exposure associated with our commodity portfolio. For disclosure purposes, such risks are grouped as “Commodity,” as they are related to energy risk management activities. We also engage in risk management of interest rate risk associated with debt financing and foreign currency risk associated with future purchase obligations denominated in foreign currencies. For disclosure purposes, these risks are grouped as “Interest Rate and Foreign Currency.” The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations and Finance groups in accordance with our established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.

The following table represents the gross notional volume of our outstanding derivative contracts as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Notional Volume of Derivative Instruments

	Volume
	June 30,			December 31,			Unit of
	2011			2010			Measure
	(in millions)
Commodity:
Power			875			652	MWHs
Coal			48			63	Tons
Natural Gas			91			94	MMBtus
Heating Oil and Gasoline			7			6	Gallons
Interest Rate		$	267		$	171	USD

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency		$	597		$	907	USD

Fair Value Hedging Strategies

We enter into interest rate derivative transactions as part of an overall strategy to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Certain interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of our fixed-rate debt to a floating rate. Provided specific criteria are met, these interest rate derivatives are designated as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

We enter into and designate as cash flow hedges certain derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of power, coal, natural gas and heating oil and gasoline (“Commodity”) in order to manage the variable price risk related to the forecasted purchase and sale of these commodities. We monitor the potential impacts of commodity price changes and, where appropriate, enter into derivative transactions to protect profit margins for a portion of future electricity sales and fuel or energy purchases. We do not hedge all commodity price risk.

Our vehicle fleet and barge operations are exposed to gasoline and diesel fuel price volatility. We enter into financial heating oil and gasoline derivative contracts in order to mitigate price risk of our future fuel purchases. For disclosure purposes, these contracts are included with other hedging activity as “Commodity.” We do not hedge all fuel price risk.

We enter into a variety of interest rate derivative transactions in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. Some interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of our floating-rate debt to a fixed rate. We also enter into interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to anticipated borrowings of fixed-rate debt. Our anticipated fixed-rate debt offerings have a high probability of occurrence as the proceeds will be used to fund existing debt maturities and projected capital expenditures. We do not hedge all interest rate exposure.

At times, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks primarily when we purchase certain fixed assets from foreign suppliers. In accordance with our risk management policy, we may enter into foreign currency derivative transactions to protect against the risk of increased cash outflows resulting from a foreign currency’s appreciation against the dollar. We do not hedge all foreign currency exposure.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging” requires recognition of all qualifying derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments accounted for using MTM accounting or hedge accounting are based on exchange prices and broker quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of fair value is based on the best information available including valuation models that estimate future energy prices based on existing market and broker quotes, supply and demand market data and assumptions. In order to determine the relevant fair values of our derivative instruments, we also apply valuation adjustments for discounting, liquidity and credit quality.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform on the contract or fail to pay amounts due. Liquidity risk represents the risk that imperfections in the market will cause the price to vary from estimated fair value based upon prevailing market supply and demand conditions. Since energy markets are imperfect and volatile, there are inherent risks related to the underlying assumptions in models used to fair value risk management contracts. Unforeseen events may cause reasonable price curves to differ from actual price curves throughout a contract’s term and at the time a contract settles. Consequently, there could be significant adverse or favorable effects on future net income and cash flows if market prices are not consistent with our estimates of current market consensus for forward prices in the current period. This is particularly true for longer term contracts. Cash flows may vary based on market conditions, margin requirements and the timing of settlement of our risk management contracts.

According to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging,” we reflect the fair values of our derivative instruments subject to netting agreements with the same counterparty net of related cash collateral. For certain risk management contracts, we are required to post or receive cash collateral based on third party contractual agreements and risk profiles. For the June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 balance sheets, we netted $16 million and $ 8 million,

respectively, of cash collateral received from third parties against short-term and long-term risk management assets and $55 million and $109 million, respectively, of cash collateral paid to third parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities.

The following tables represent the gross fair value impact of our derivative activity on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

(a) Represents realized and unrealized gains and losses subject to regulatory accounting treatment recorded as either current or noncurrent on the balance sheet.

Certain qualifying derivative instruments have been designated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts, as provided in the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales under that accounting guidance are not subject to MTM accounting treatment and are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on an accrual basis.

Our accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Depending on the exposure, we designate a hedging instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

For contracts that have not been designated as part of a hedging relationship, the accounting for changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative instrument is held for trading purposes. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments held for trading purposes are included in Revenues on a net basis on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments not held for trading purposes are included in Revenues or Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. However, unrealized and some realized gains and losses in regulated jurisdictions for both trading and non-trading derivative instruments are recorded as regulatory assets (for losses) or regulatory liabilities (for gains) in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations.”

Accounting for Fair Value Hedging Strategies

For fair value hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or an identified portion thereof attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item associated with the hedged risk impacts Net Income during the period of change.

We record realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and any offsetting changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged in Interest Expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized gains of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedging instruments and offsetting losses of $5 million and $9 million, respectively, on our long-term debt. Hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized gains of $4 million and $4 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedging instruments and offsetting losses of $4 million and $4 million, respectively, on our long-term debt. No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized.

Accounting for Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

For cash flow hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk), we initially report the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the period the hedged item affects Net Income. We recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in Net Income immediately during the period of change, except in regulated jurisdictions where hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as a regulatory asset (for losses) or a regulatory liability (for gains).

Realized gains and losses on derivative contracts for the purchase and sale of power, coal, natural gas and heating oil and gasoline designated as cash flow hedges are included in Revenues, Fuel and Other Consumables Used for Electric Generation or Purchased Electricity for Resale on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, or in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on the specific nature of the risk being hedged. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we designated commodity derivatives as cash flow hedges.

We reclassify gains and losses on financial fuel derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets into Other Operation expense, Maintenance expense or Depreciation and Amortization expense, as it relates to capital projects, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we designated heating oil and gasoline derivatives as cash flow hedges.

We reclassify gains and losses on interest rate derivative hedges related to our debt financings from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Interest Expense in those periods in which hedged interest payments occur. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we designated interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges.

The accumulated gains or losses related to our foreign currency hedges are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets into Depreciation and Amortization expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the depreciable lives of the fixed assets designated as the hedged items in qualifying foreign currency hedging relationships. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we designated foreign currency derivatives as cash flow hedges.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial or nonexistent for all of the hedge strategies disclosed above.

The following tables provide details on designated, effective cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the reasons for changes in cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All amounts in the following tables are presented net of related income taxes.

The actual amounts that we reclassify from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Net Income can differ from the estimate above due to market price changes. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum length of time that we are hedging (with contracts subject to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging”) our exposure to variability in future cash flows related to forecasted transactions is 36 months.

Credit Risk

We limit credit risk in our wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. We use Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

We use standardized master agreements which may include collateral requirements. These master agreements facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. Cash, letters of credit and parental/affiliate guarantees may be obtained as security from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk. The collateral agreements require a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit in the event an exposure exceeds our established threshold. The threshold represents an unsecured credit limit which may be supported by a parental/affiliate guaranty, as determined in accordance with our credit policy. In addition, collateral agreements allow for termination and liquidation of all positions in the event of a failure or inability to post collateral.

Collateral Triggering Events

Under the tariffs of the RTOs and Independent System Operators (ISOs) and a limited number of derivative and non-derivative contracts primarily related to our competitive retail auction loads, we are obligated to post an additional amount of collateral if our credit ratings decline below investment grade. The amount of collateral required fluctuates based on market prices and our total exposure. On an ongoing basis, our risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these collateral triggering items in contracts. We do not anticipate a downgrade below investment grade. The following table represents: (a) our aggregate fair value of such derivative contracts, (b) the amount of collateral we would have been required to post for all derivative and non-derivative contracts if our credit ratings had declined below investment grade and (c) how much was attributable to RTO and ISO activities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

In addition, a majority of our non-exchange traded commodity contracts contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by Parent or the obligor under outstanding debt or a third party obligation in excess of $50 million. On an ongoing basis, our risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-default provisions in our contracts. We do not anticipate a non-performance event under these provisions. The following table represents: (a) the fair value of these derivative liabilities subject to cross-default provisions prior to consideration of contractual netting arrangements, (b) the amount this exposure has been reduced by cash collateral we have posted and (c) if a cross-default provision would have been triggered, the settlement amount that would be required after considering our contractual netting arrangements as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation Techniques

The accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. When quoted market prices are not available, pricing may be completed using comparable securities, dealer values, operating data and general market conditions to determine fair value. Valuation models utilize various inputs such as commodity, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, volatility and credit that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, market corroborated inputs (i.e. inputs derived principally from, or correlated to, observable market data) and other observable inputs for the asset or liability.

For our commercial activities, exchange traded derivatives, namely futures contracts, are generally fair valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, as well as exchange traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1. We verify our price curves using these broker quotes and classify these fair values within Level 2 when substantially all of the fair value can be corroborated. We typically obtain multiple broker quotes, which are non-binding in nature, but are based on recent trades in the marketplace. When multiple broker quotes are obtained, we average the quoted bid and ask prices. In certain circumstances, we may discard a broker quote if it is a clear outlier. We use a historical correlation analysis between the broker quoted location and the illiquid locations. If the points are highly correlated, we include these locations within Level 2 as well. Certain OTC and bilaterally executed derivative instruments are executed in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information. Long-dated and illiquid complex or structured transactions and FTRs can introduce the need for internally developed modeling inputs based upon extrapolations and assumptions of observable market data to estimate fair value. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3.

We utilize our trustee’s external pricing service in our estimate of the fair value of the underlying investments held in the nuclear trusts. Our investment managers review and validate the prices utilized by the trustee to determine fair value. We perform our own valuation testing to verify the fair values of the securities. We receive audit reports of our trustee’s operating controls and valuation processes. The trustee uses multiple pricing vendors for the assets held in the trusts.

Assets in the nuclear trusts, Cash and Cash Equivalents and Other Temporary Investments are classified using the following methods. Equities are classified as Level 1 holdings if they are actively traded on exchanges. Items classified as Level 1 are investments in money market funds, fixed income and equity mutual funds and domestic equity securities. They are valued based on observable inputs primarily unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Fixed income securities do not trade on an exchange and do not have an official closing price. Pricing vendors calculate bond valuations using financial models and matrices. Fixed income securities are typically classified as Level 2 holdings because their valuation inputs are based on observable market data. Observable inputs used for valuing fixed income securities are benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and economic events. Other securities with model-derived valuation inputs that are observable are also classified as Level 2 investments. Investments with unobservable valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 investments.

Items classified as Level 2 are primarily investments in individual fixed income securities. These fixed income securities are valued using models with input data as follows:

	Type of Fixed Income Security
	United States		State and Local
Type of Input	Government	Corporate Debt	Government

Benchmark Yields	X	X	X
Broker Quotes	X	X	X
Discount Margins	X	X

Fair Value Measurements of Long-term Debt

The fair values of Long-term Debt are based on quoted market prices, without credit enhancements, for the same or similar issues and the current interest rates offered for instruments with similar maturities. These instruments are not marked-to-market. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.

The book values and fair values of Long-term Debt as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized in the following table:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Book Value		Fair Value		Book Value		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Long-term Debt	$	16,635	$	18,251	$	16,811	$	18,285

Fair Value Measurements of Other Temporary Investments

Other Temporary Investments include marketable securities that we intend to hold for less than one year, investments by our protected cell of EIS and funds held by trustees primarily for the repayment of debt.

The following is a summary of Other Temporary Investments:

The following table provides the activity for our debt and equity securities within Other Temporary Investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Gross Realized Gains on Investment Sales		-		16		-		16
Gross Realized Losses on Investment Sales		-		-		-		-

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no Other Temporary Investments with an unrealized loss position. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of fixed income securities are primarily debt based mutual funds with short and intermediate maturities and variable rate demand notes. Mutual funds may be sold and do not contain maturity dates.

Fair Value Measurements of Trust Assets for Decommissioning and SNF Disposal

Nuclear decommissioning and spent nuclear fuel trust funds represent funds that regulatory commissions allow us to collect through rates to fund future decommissioning and spent nuclear fuel disposal liabilities. By rules or orders, the IURC, the MPSC and the FERC established investment limitations and general risk management guidelines. In general, limitations include:

·	Acceptable investments (rated investment grade or above when purchased).

·	Maximum percentage invested in a specific type of investment.

·	Prohibition of investment in obligations of AEP or its affiliates.

·	Withdrawals permitted only for payment of decommissioning costs and trust expenses.

We maintain trust records for each regulatory jurisdiction. These funds are managed by external investment managers who must comply with the guidelines and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. The trust assets are invested to optimize the net of tax earnings of the trust giving consideration to liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

I&M records securities held in trust funds for decommissioning nuclear facilities and for the disposal of SNF at fair value. I&M classifies securities in the trust funds as available-for-sale due to their long-term purpose. Other-than-temporary impairments for investments in both debt and equity securities are considered realized losses as a result of securities being managed by an external investment management firm. The external investment management firm makes specific investment decisions regarding the equity and debt investments held in these trusts and generally intends to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position as part of a tax optimization strategy. Impairments reduce the cost basis of the securities which will affect any future unrealized gain or realized gain or loss due to the adjusted cost of investment. I&M records unrealized gains and other-than-temporary impairments from securities in the trust funds as adjustments to the regulatory liability account for the nuclear decommissioning trust funds and to regulatory assets or liabilities for the SNF disposal trust funds in accordance with their treatment in rates. Consequently, changes in fair value of trust assets do not affect earnings or AOCI. The trust assets are recorded by jurisdiction and may not be used for another jurisdiction’s liabilities. Regulatory approval is required to withdraw decommissioning funds.

The following is a summary of nuclear trust fund investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	June 30, 2011							December 31, 2010

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As required by the accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There have not been any significant changes in our valuation techniques.

10. INCOME TAXES

We, along with our subsidiaries, file a consolidated federal income tax return. The allocation of the AEP System’s current consolidated federal income tax to the AEP System companies allocates the benefit of current tax losses to the AEP System companies giving rise to such losses in determining their current tax expense. The tax benefit of the Parent is allocated to our subsidiaries with taxable income. With the exception of the loss of the Parent, the method of allocation reflects a separate return result for each company in the consolidated group.

We are no longer subject to U.S. federal examination for years before 2001. We have completed the exam for the years 2001 through 2006 and have issues that we are pursuing at the appeals level. In April 2011, the IRS’s examination of the years 2007 and 2008 was concluded with a settlement of all outstanding issues. The settlement will not have a material impact on net income, cash flows or financial condition. Although the outcome of tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion, adequate provisions for federal income taxes have been made for potential liabilities resulting from such matters. In addition, we accrue interest on these uncertain tax positions. We are not aware of any issues for open tax years that upon final resolution are expected to have a material adverse effect on net income.

We, along with our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. These taxing authorities routinely examine our tax returns and we are currently under examination in several state and local jurisdictions. We believe that we have filed tax returns with positions that may be challenged by these tax authorities. Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities resulting from such challenges and the ultimate resolution of these audits will not materially impact net income. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.

For a discussion of the tax implications of our settlement with BOA and Enron, see “Enron Bankruptcy” section of Note 4.

Federal Tax Legislation

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the related Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (Health Care Acts) were enacted in March 2010. The Health Care Acts amend tax rules so that the portion of employer health care costs that are reimbursed by the Medicare Part D prescription drug subsidy will no longer be deductible by the employer for federal income tax purposes effective for years beginning after December 31, 2012. Because of the loss of the future tax deduction, a reduction in the deferred tax asset related to the nondeductible OPEB liabilities accrued to date was recorded in March 2010. This reduction did not materially affect our cash flows or financial condition. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, deferred tax assets decreased $56 million, partially offset by recording net tax regulatory assets of $35 million in our jurisdictions with regulated operations, resulting in a decrease in net income of $21 million.

The Small Business Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted in September 2010. Included in the Act was a one-year extension of the 50% bonus depreciation provision. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and the Job Creation Act of 2010 extended the life of research and development, employment and several energy tax credits originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2010. In addition, the Act extended the time for claiming bonus depreciation and increased the deduction to 100% for part of 2010 and 2011. The enacted provisions will not have a material impact on net income or financial condition.

State Tax Legislation

Legislation was passed by the state of Indiana in May 2011 enacting a phased reduction in corporate income tax rates from 8.5% to 6.5%. The current 8.5% Indiana corporate income tax rate is scheduled for a 0.5% reduction each year beginning after June 30, 2012 with the final reduction occurring in years beginning after June 30, 2015. In addition, Michigan repealed its Business Tax regime in May 2011 and replaced it with a traditional corporate net income tax with a rate of 6%. The enacted provisions will not have a material impact on net income, cash flows or financial condition.

Dividend Restrictions

Parent Restrictions

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive the dividends declared by our Board of Directors provided funds are legally available for such dividends. Our income derives from our common stock equity in the earnings of our utility subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the leverage restrictions in our credit agreements, we must maintain a percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 67.5%. The payment of cash dividends indirectly results in an increase in the percentage of debt to total capitalization of the company distributing the dividend. The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually defined in the credit agreements. None of AEP’s retained earnings were restricted for the purpose of the payment of dividends.

We have issued $315 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures. The debentures will mature on March 1, 2063, subject to extensions to no later than March 1, 2068, and are callable at par any time on or after March 1, 2013. We have the option to defer interest payments on the debentures for one or more periods of up to 10 consecutive years per period. During any period in which we defer interest payments, we may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or acquire our common stock. We do not anticipate any deferral of those interest payments in the foreseeable future.

Utility Subsidiaries’ Restrictions

Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of our utility subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of dividends.

The Federal Power Act prohibits the utility subsidiaries from participating “in the making or paying of any dividends of such public utility from any funds properly included in capital account.” The term “capital account” is not defined in the Federal Power Act or its regulations. Management understands “capital account” to mean the par value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. This restriction does not limit the ability of the utility subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

Short-term Debt

Our outstanding short-term debt was as follows:

	June 30, 2011					December 31, 2010
	Outstanding		Interest			Outstanding		Interest
Type of Debt	Amount		Rate (a)			Amount		Rate (a)
	(in millions)					(in millions)
Securitized Debt for Receivables (b)	$	695		0.23	%	$	690		0.31	%

Line of Credit – Sabine Mining Company (c)		-		-	%		6		2.15	%
Total Short-term Debt	$	1,639				$	1,346

(a)	Weighted average rate.

(b)	Amount of securitized debt for receivables as accounted for under the ''Transfers and Servicing'' accounting guidance.

(c)	Sabine Mining Company is a consolidated variable interest entity. This line of credit does not reduce available liquidity under AEP's credit facilities.

Credit Facilities

We have two $1.5 billion credit facilities, under which we may issue up to $1.35 billion as letters of credit. In July 2011, we replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the two $1.5 billion credit facilities were $132 million.

Securitized Accounts Receivable – AEP Credit

AEP Credit has a receivables securitization agreement with bank conduits. Under the securitization agreement, AEP Credit receives financing from the bank conduits for the interest in the receivables AEP Credit acquires from affiliated utility subsidiaries. AEP Credit continues to service the receivables. These securitized transactions allow AEP Credit to repay its outstanding debt obligations, continue to purchase our operating companies’ receivables and accelerate AEP Credit’s cash collections.

In July 2011, AEP Credit renewed its receivables securitization agreement. The agreement provides commitments of $750 million from bank conduits to finance receivables from AEP Credit with an increase to $800 million for the months of July, August and September to accommodate seasonal demand. A commitment of $375 million, with the seasonal increase to $425 million for the months of July, August and September, expires in June 2012 and the remaining commitment of $375 million expires in June 2014.

Accounts receivable information for AEP Credit is as follows:

Customer accounts receivable retained and securitized for our operating companies are managed by AEP Credit. AEP Credit’s delinquent customer accounts receivable represents accounts greater than 30 days past due.

12. COST REDUCTION INITIATIVES

In April 2010, we began initiatives to decrease both labor and non-labor expenses with a goal of achieving significant reductions in operation and maintenance expenses. A total of 2,461 positions was eliminated across the AEP System as a result of process improvements, streamlined organizational designs and other efficiencies. Most of the affected employees terminated employment May 31, 2010. The severance program provided two weeks of base pay for every year of service along with other severance benefits.

We recorded a charge of $293 million to Other Operation expense during the second quarter of 2010 primarily related to severance benefits as the result of headcount reduction initiatives.

The following table shows the cost reduction activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Regulatory Activity

Virginia Regulatory Activity

West Virginia Regulatory Activity

In March 2011, the WVPSC modified and approved a settlement agreement which increased annual base rates by approximately $46 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. The order also resulted in a pretax write-off of a portion of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Product Validation Facility in the first quarter of 2011. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project Product Validation Facility” section below. In addition, the WVPSC allowed APCo to defer and amortize $18 million of previously expensed 2009 incremental storm expenses and $14 million of previously expensed costs related to the 2010 cost reduction initiatives, each over a period of seven years. See “2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

In a November 2009 proceeding established by the WVPSC to explore options to meet WPCo's future power supply requirements, the WVPSC issued an order approving a joint stipulation among APCo, WPCo, the WVPSC staff and the Consumer Advocate Division. The order approved the recommendation of the signatories to the stipulation that WPCo merge into APCo and be supplied from APCo's existing power resources. Merger approvals from the WVPSC, Virginia SCC and the FERC are required. No merger approval filings have been made. See “WPCo Merger with APCo” section of Note 3.

Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project Product Validation Facility (PVF)

In APCo’s May 2010 West Virginia base rate filing, APCo requested rate base treatment of the PVF including recovery of the related asset retirement obligation regulatory asset amortization and accretion. In March 2011, a WVPSC order denied the request for rate base treatment of the PVF largely due to its experimental operation. The base rate order provided that should APCo construct a commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facility, only the West Virginia portion of the PVF costs, based on load sharing among certain AEP operating companies, may be considered used and useful plant in service and included in future rate base. As a result, APCo recorded a pretax write-off of $41 million ($26 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2011. As of June 30, 2011, APCo has recorded a noncurrent regulatory asset of $19 million related to the PVF. If APCo cannot recover its remaining PVF investment and related accretion expenses, it would reduce future net income and cash flows. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section of Note 3.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project with the Department of Energy (DOE) (Commercial Scale Project)

a Front-End Engineering and Design study during the third quarter of 2011, but it is postponing any further CCS project activities because of the uncertainty about the regulation of CO 2 . As of June 30, 2011, the project has incurred $30 million in total costs and has received $10 million of DOE eligible funding resulting in a $20 million net balance recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Requests for recovery are in process in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. If the allocated costs of the CCS project cannot be recovered, it would reduce future net income and cash flows. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section of Note 3.

Proposed Acquisition of Dresden Plant

During the first quarter of 2011, APCo and AEGCo filed with the Virginia and West Virginia regulatory commissions seeking approval for APCo’s purchase of the partially completed Dresden Plant from AEGCo at cost. In June 2011 and July 2011, the WVPSC and the Virginia SCC, respectively, issued orders approving the acquisition. The transfer must also be approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board. Management expects approval from the Ohio Power Siting Board allowing the transfer to occur in the third quarter of 2011. The Dresden Plant is located near Dresden, Ohio and is a natural gas, combined cycle power plant. AEGCo resumed construction in the first quarter of 2011 following a suspension in 2009 due to economic conditions. When completed, the Dresden Plant will have a generating capacity of 580 MW.

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, APCo is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report.

·	Retail Margins increased $10 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $27 million increase due to higher base rates in Virginia and West Virginia.
	·	A $6 million increase due to lower capacity settlement expenses under the Interconnection Agreement net of recovery in West Virginia and environmental deferrals in Virginia.
	These increases were partially offset by:
	·	A $21 million decrease due to the expiration of E&R cost recovery in Virginia.
	·	A $3 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 14% decrease in cooling degree days.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $3 million primarily due to higher physical sales volumes.
·	Transmission Revenue increased $4 million primarily due to the Transmission Agreement modification effective November 2010.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $53 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $55 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
	·	A $54 million decrease due to the second quarter 2010 write-off of the Virginia share of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project Product Validation Facility as denied for recovery by the Virginia SCC.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $25 million increase due to the second quarter 2010 deferral of 2009 storm costs as allowed by the Virginia SCC.
	·	An $18 million increase in storm-related expenses.
	·	A $5 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to the Transmission Agreement modification effective November 2010.
·	Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased $6 million primarily due to the expiration of E&R amortization of deferred carrying costs in Virginia, partially offset by an increased depreciation base resulting from environmental upgrades at the Amos Plant.
·	Taxes Other Than Income Taxes decreased $4 million primarily due to recording a West Virginia franchise tax audit settlement and additional employer payroll taxes incurred related to the cost reduction initiatives in the second quarter of 2010.
·	Carrying Costs Income decreased $4 million primarily due to decreased environmental deferrals in Virginia.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $24 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

	·	A $37 million decrease due to the expiration of E&R cost recovery in Virginia.
	·	A $22 million decrease in variable electric generation expenses.
	·	A $19 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 14% decrease in heating degree days and a 13% decrease in cooling degree days.
	·	A $10 million decrease in residential and commercial margins primarily due to lower non-weather related usage.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $27 million increase due to lower capacity settlement expenses under the Interconnection Agreement net of recovery in West Virginia and environmental deferrals in Virginia.
	·	A $27 million increase due to higher base rates in Virginia and West Virginia.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $5 million primarily due to higher physical sales volumes and higher trading and marketing margins.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

APCo participates in the Utility Money Pool, which provides access to AEP’s liquidity. APCo relies upon ready access to capital markets, cash flows from operations and access to the Utility Money Pool to fund current operations and capital expenditures. See the “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries” section beginning on page 227 for additional discussion of liquidity.

Credit Ratings

APCo’s access to capital markets may depend on its credit ratings. In addition, a credit rating downgrade of APCo by one of the rating agencies could increase APCo’s borrowing costs. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings may constrain APCo’s ability to participate in the Utility Money Pool or the amount of APCo’s receivables securitized by AEP Credit. Counterparty concerns about APCo’s credit quality could subject APCo to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

CASH FLOW

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at Beginning of Period	$	951		$	2,006
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities		386,198			252,172
Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities		(346,080	)		(252,171	)
Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities		(39,437	)		(181	)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents		681			(180	)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Period	$	1,632		$	1,826

Operating Activities

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $386 million in 2011. APCo produced Net Income of $71 million during the period and had noncash expense items of $137 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $128 million for Deferred Income Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a number of items. The $85 million inflow from Accounts Receivable, Net was primarily due to a decrease in accrued unbilled revenues due to usual seasonal fluctuations and timing of settlements of receivables from affiliated companies. The $85 million inflow from Fuel, Materials and Supplies was primarily due to a reduction in fuel. The $63 million outflow from Accounts Payable was primarily due to decreased energy purchases and reduced operation and maintenance expenses. The $56 million outflow from Accrued Taxes, Net was primarily due to decreased accruals related to federal income taxes.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $252 million in 2010. APCo produced Net Income of $51 million during the period and had noncash expense items of $151 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $32 million for Deferred Income Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a number of items. The $100 million outflow from Accounts Payable was primarily due to payments for storm costs accrued in fourth quarter of 2009 and decreased purchases of energy from the system pool. The $76 million inflow from Accounts Receivable, Net was primarily due to a decrease in accrued revenues due to usual seasonal fluctuations and timing of settlements of receivables from affiliated companies. The $69 million inflow from Fuel, Materials and Supplies was primarily due to a reduction in fuel inventory and a decrease in the average cost of coal per ton. The $39 million outflow from Accrued Taxes, Net was primarily due to decreased accruals related to federal income taxes. The $32 million outflow from Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net was primarily due to a net under-recovery of fuel costs in West Virginia.

Investing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities during 2011 and 2010 were $346 million and $252 million, respectively. Construction Expenditures of $191 million and $255 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily for environmental upgrades, as well as projects to improve generation and service reliability for transmission and distribution. Environmental upgrades include FGD projects at the Amos Plant. During 2011, APCo had a net increase of $163 million in loans to the Utility Money Pool.

Financing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $39 million in 2011. APCo issued $350 million of Senior Unsecured Notes and $295 million of Pollution Control Bonds, partially offset by the retirement of $250 million of Senior Unsecured Notes and $230 million of Pollution Control Bonds. APCo had a net decrease of $128 million in borrowings from the Utility Money Pool. In addition, APCo paid $68 million in common stock dividends.

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $181 thousand in 2010. APCo issued $300 million of Senior Unsecured Notes and $68 million of Pollution Control Bonds, partially offset by the retirement of $150 million of Senior Unsecured Notes, $100 million of Notes Payable – Affiliated and $50 million of Pollution Control Bonds. APCo had a net increase of $17 million in borrowings from the Utility Money Pool. In addition, APCo paid $78 million in common stock dividends.

Long-term debt issuances, retirements and principal payments made during the first six months of 2011 were:

Issuances
		Principal			Interest	Due
	Type of Debt	Amount			Rate	Date
		(in thousands)			(%)
	Senior Unsecured Notes	$	350,000		4.60	2021

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Ohio Customer Choice

In CSPCo’s service territory, various competitive retail electric service (CRES) providers are targeting retail customers by offering alternative generation service. As a result, in comparison to the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010, CSPCo lost approximately $22 million and $40 million, respectively, of generation related gross margin. Management anticipates recovery of a portion of lost margins through off-system sales, including PJM capacity revenues.

Regulatory Activity

2009 – 2011 ESPs

In April 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an opinion addressing the aspects of the PUCO's 2009 decision that were challenged which resulted in three reversals, only two of which may have a prospective impact through a remand proceeding. Pursuant to a May 2011 PUCO order, CSPCo implemented rates subject to refund. Certain intervenors proposed adjustments that included a reduction of deferred FAC and other regulatory assets for the period prior to June 2011 of up to $298 million, excluding carrying costs, which CSPCo believes is without merit and violates the Supreme Court of Ohio decision. The proposed adjustments also included refunds and rate reductions of related revenues beginning in June 2011 of up to $72 million. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

January 2012 – May 2014 ESP

In January 2011, CSPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve a new ESP that includes a standard service offer (SSO) pricing for generation. The rates would be effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012 through the last billing cycle of May 2014. The SSO presents redesigned generation rates by customer class. Customer class rates vary, but on average, customers will experience base generation increases of 1.4% in 2012 and 2.7% in 2013. Under the new ESP, management estimates CSPCo will have base generation revenue increases, excluding riders, of $17 million for 2012 and $46 million for 2013. The April 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio referenced above in connection with the 2009-2011 ESPs could impact the outcome of the January 2012-May 2014 ESP, though the nature and extent of that impact is not presently known. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case

In February 2011, CSPCo filed with the PUCO for annual increases in distribution rates of $34 million. The requested increase is based upon an 11.15% return on common equity to be effective January 2012. In addition to the annual increase, CSPCo requested recovery of the projected December 31, 2012 balance of certain distribution regulatory assets of $216 million, including approximately $102 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs. These assets and unrecognized carrying costs would be recovered in a requested distribution asset recovery rider over seven years with additional carrying costs, beginning January 2013. The actual balance of these distribution regulatory assets as of June 30, 2011 was $100 million, excluding $61 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs. If CSPCo is not ultimately permitted to fully recover its deferrals, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “2011 Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

Proposed CSPCo and OPCo Merger

In October 2010, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to merge CSPCo into OPCo. Approval of the merger will not affect CSPCo's and OPCo's rates until such time as the PUCO approves new rates, terms and conditions for the merged company. In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the FERC requesting approval for an internal corporate reorganization under which CSPCo will merge into OPCo. CSPCo and OPCo requested the reorganization transaction be effective in October 2011. In July 2011, the FERC issued an order approving the proposed merger. A decision is pending from the PUCO. See “Proposed CSPCo and OPCo Merger” section of Note 3.

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, CSPCo is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report. Also, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies within the Condensed Notes to Condensed Financial Statements beginning on page 162. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect net income, financial condition and cash flows.

·	Retail Margins decreased $30 million due to the following:
	·	A $22 million decrease attributable to customers switching to alternative competitive retail electric service (CRES) providers.
	·	A $6 million decrease in residential and industrial margins primarily due to a change in the customer mix resulting in lower realizations.
	·	A $5 million decrease in weather-related usage due to a 14% decrease in cooling degree days.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $7 million increase in revenue due to the implementation of PUCO approved rider rates in June 2010 related to the Energy Efficiency & Peak Demand Reduction (EE/PDR) Programs. This increase in Retail Margins was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance as discussed below.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $19 million primarily due to an increase in PJM capacity revenues and higher physical sales volumes.

100

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $31 million primarily due to:
	·	A $31 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
	·	An $8 million decrease in transmission expense primarily due to the Transmission Agreement modification effective November 2010, a portion of which is included in the Ohio Transmission Cost Recovery Rider.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $7 million increase in expenses due to the implementation of PUCO approved EE/PDR programs. This increase in Other Operation and Maintenance expense was offset by a corresponding increase in Retail Margins as discussed above.
	·	A $7 million increase in plant maintenance expenses primarily related to work performed at the Stuart, Waterford and Conesville plants.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $8 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

	·	A $6 million decrease in weather-related usage due to a 14% decrease in cooling degree days.
	·	A $3 million decrease in capacity settlements under the Interconnection Agreement.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $19 million increase in revenue due to the implementation of PUCO approved rider rates in June 2010 related to the Energy Efficiency & Peak Demand Reduction (EE/PDR) Programs. This increase in Retail Margins was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance as discussed below.
	·	A $10 million increase associated with the final 2009 SEET order.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $32 million primarily due to an increase in PJM capacity revenues and higher physical sales volumes.

	·	A $15 million decrease in recoverable PJM expenses.

	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $19 million increase in expenses due to the implementation of PUCO approved EE/PDR programs. This increase in Other Operation and Maintenance expense was offset by a corresponding increase in Retail Margins as discussed above.
	·	A $14 million increase in plant maintenance and operation expenses primarily related to work performed at the Stuart, Waterford and Conesville plants.
·	Depreciation and Amortization increased $4 million as a result of recognizing deferred debt and equity carrying charges on deferred fuel as permitted under the final 2009 SEET order.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Regulatory Activity

Michigan Base Rate Case

Cook Plant

In September 2008, I&M shut down Cook Plant Unit 1 (Unit 1) due to turbine vibrations, caused by blade failure, which resulted in a fire on the electric generator. Repair of the property damage and replacement of the turbine rotors and other equipment could cost up to approximately $408 million. Management believes that I&M should recover a significant portion of repair and replacement costs through the turbine vendor’s warranty, insurance and the regulatory process. I&M repaired Unit 1 and it resumed operations in December 2009 at slightly reduced power. The Unit 1 rotors were repaired and reinstalled due to the extensive lead time required to manufacture and install new turbine rotors. The replacement of the repaired turbine rotors and other equipment is scheduled for the Unit 1 planned outage in the fall of 2011. If the ultimate costs of the incident are not covered by warranty, insurance or through the related regulatory process or if any future regulatory proceedings are adverse, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “Michigan 2009 and 2010 Power Supply Cost Recovery Reconciliations” section of Note 3 and “Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown” section of Note 4.

As a result of the nuclear plant situation in Japan following an earthquake, management expects the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and possibly Congress to review safety procedures and requirements for nuclear generating facilities. This review could increase procedures and testing requirements, require physical modifications to the plant and increase future operating costs at the Cook Plant. Management is unable to predict the impact of potential future regulation of nuclear facilities.

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, I&M is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report. Also, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies within the Condensed Notes to Condensed Financial Statements beginning on page 162. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect net income, financial condition and cash flows.

Second Quarter of 2011	$	31

·	Retail Margins decreased $9 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $6 million decrease due to customer credits for a settlement relating to the Cook Plant Unit 1 (Unit 1) fire outage. This decrease was offset by a decrease in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.
	·	A $5 million decrease in margins from commercial sales primarily due to lower usage.
	·	A $3 million decrease in capacity settlements under the Interconnection Agreement.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $7 million increase due to a Michigan rate settlement effective in December 2010.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $4 million primarily due to higher physical sales volume.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $32 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $40 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
	·	A $6 million decrease in steam power expenses relating to the Unit 1 fire outage. This decrease was offset by a decrease in Retail Margins.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $9 million increase in transmission expense primarily due to the Transmission Agreement modification effective November 2010.
	·	A $3 million increase in steam generation maintenance costs.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $6 million primarily due to an increase in pre-tax book income and the regulatory accounting treatment of state income taxes, partially offset by other book/tax differences which are accounted for on a flow-through basis.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Ohio Customer Choice

In OPCo’s service territory, various competitive retail electric service (CRES) providers are targeting retail customers by offering alternative generation service. As a result, in comparison to the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010, OPCo lost approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of generation related gross margin. Management anticipates recovery of a portion of lost margins through off-system sales, including PJM capacity revenues.

Regulatory Activity

2009 – 2011 ESPs

In April 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an opinion addressing the aspects of the PUCO's 2009 decision that were challenged which resulted in three reversals, only two of which may have a prospective impact through a remand proceeding. Pursuant to a May 2011 PUCO order, OPCo implemented rates subject to refund. Certain intervenors proposed adjustments that included a reduction of deferred FAC and other regulatory assets for the period prior to June 2011 of up to $336 million, excluding carrying costs, which OPCo believes is without merit and violates the Supreme Court of Ohio decision. The proposed adjustments also include refunds and rate reductions of related revenues beginning in June 2011 of up to $81 million. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

January 2012 – May 2014 ESP

In January 2011, OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve a new ESP that includes a standard service offer (SSO) pricing for generation effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012 through the last billing cycle of May 2014. The SSO presents redesigned generation rates by customer class. Customer class rates vary, but on average, customers will experience base generation increases of 1.4% in 2012 and 2.7% in 2013. Under the new ESP, management estimates OPCo will have base generation revenue increases, excluding riders, of $48 million for 2012 and $60 million for 2013. The April 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio referenced above in connection with the 2009-2011 ESP could impact the outcome of the January 2012-May 2014 ESP, though the nature and extent of that impact is not presently known. See “Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings” section of Note 3.

Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case

In February 2011, OPCo filed with the PUCO for annual increases in distribution rates of $60 million. The requested increase is based upon an 11.15% return on common equity to be effective January 2012. In addition to the annual increase, OPCo requested recovery of the projected December 31, 2012 balance of certain distribution regulatory assets of $159 million including approximately $84 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs. These assets and unrecognized carrying costs would be recovered in a requested distribution asset recovery rider over seven years with additional carrying costs, beginning January 2013. The actual balance of these distribution regulatory assets as of June 30, 2011 was $64 million excluding $45 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs. If OPCo is not ultimately permitted to fully recover its deferrals, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “2011 Ohio Distribution Base Rate Case” section of Note 3.

Proposed CSPCo and OPCo Merger

In October 2010, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to merge CSPCo into OPCo. Approval of the merger will not affect CSPCo's and OPCo's rates until such time as the PUCO approves new rates, terms and conditions for the merged company. In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the FERC requesting approval for an internal corporate reorganization under which CSPCo will merge into OPCo. CSPCo and OPCo requested the reorganization transaction be effective in October 2011. In July 2011, the FERC issued an order approving the proposed merger. A decision is pending from the PUCO. See “Proposed CSPCo and OPCo Merger” section of Note 3.

123

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, OPCo is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report. Also, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies within the Condensed Notes to Condensed Financial Statements beginning on page 162. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect net income, financial condition and cash flows.

	·	A $4 million increase in revenues due to a January 2011 Universal Service Fund surcharge rate increase. This increase in Retail Margins was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance as discussed below.
·	Margins from Off-system Sales increased $13 million primarily due to higher physical sales volumes.
·	Transmission Revenues increased $4 million primarily due to the Transmission Agreement modification effective November 2010, a portion of which is included in the Ohio Transmission Cost Recovery Rider.

125

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $45 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $49 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

OPCo participates in the Utility Money Pool, which provides access to AEP’s liquidity. OPCo relies upon ready access to capital markets, cash flows from operations and access to the Utility Money Pool to fund current operations and capital expenditures. See the “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries” section beginning on page 227 for additional discussion of liquidity.

Credit Ratings

OPCo’s access to capital markets may depend on its credit ratings. In addition, a credit rating downgrade of OPCo by one of the rating agencies could increase OPCo’s borrowing costs. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings may constrain OPCo’s ability to participate in the Utility Money Pool or the amount of OPCo’s receivables securitized by AEP Credit. Counterparty concerns about OPCo’s credit quality could subject OPCo to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

CASH FLOW

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at Beginning of Period	$	440		$	1,984
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities		427,160			352,278
Net Cash Flows from (Used for) Investing Activities		(106,529	)		119,588
Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities		(319,919	)		(472,912	)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents		712			(1,046	)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Period	$	1,152		$	938

128

Operating Activities

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $427 million in 2011. OPCo produced Net Income of $176 million during the period and noncash expense items of $184 million for Depreciation and Amortization, $57 million for Deferred Income Taxes and $51 million for Property Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The current period activity in working capital relates to a number of items. Accounts Receivable, Net had a $71 million inflow primarily due to a settlement with AEP Ohio Transmission Company, a decrease in estimated accounts receivable balances and settlements of backup power sales. Accounts Payable had a $51 million outflow primarily due to payments to affiliates for allowance settlements and timing differences of payments. Fuel, Materials and Supplies had a $50 million inflow primarily due to a decrease in coal inventory reflecting increased customer usage for electricity. The $49 million outflow from Accrued Taxes, Net is primarily due to temporary timing differences of payments for property taxes partially offset by an increase of federal income tax related accruals.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $352 million in 2010. OPCo produced Net Income of $129 million during the period and noncash expense items of $179 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $73 million for Deferred Income Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital primarily relates to a number of items. Accrued Taxes, Net had a $71 million outflow due to temporary timing differences of payments for property taxes and an increase of federal income tax related accruals. Accounts Receivable, Net had a $44 million inflow primarily due to decreased sales to affiliates and settlement of allowance sales to affiliated companies. Fuel, Materials and Supplies had a $26 million inflow primarily due to price decreases. The $76 million increase in Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net reflects the deferral of fuel costs as a fuel clause was reactivated in 2009 under OPCo’s ESP.

Investing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities were $107 million in 2011. OPCo had Construction Expenditures of $112 million and a net increase of $36 million in loans to the Utility Money Pool. Construction Expenditures were primarily related to environmental upgrades, as well as projects to improve generation and service reliability for transmission and distribution. These decreases were partially offset by $42 million in Proceeds from Sales of Assets.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities were $120 million in 2010. OPCo had a net decrease of $266 million in loans to the Utility Money Pool. This inflow was partially offset by Construction Expenditures of $148 million. The Construction Expenditures primarily related to environmental upgrades, as well as projects to improve generation and service reliability for transmission and distribution. Environmental upgrades include FGD projects at the Amos Plant.

Financing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $320 million in 2011. OPCo retired $165 million of Pollution Control Bonds in March 2011. In addition, OPCo paid $200 million of dividends on common stock. These decreases were partially offset by the issuance of $50 million of Pollution Control Bonds in March 2011.

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $473 million during 2010. OPCo retired $400 million of Senior Unsecured Notes in April 2010 and $79 million of Pollution Control Bonds in June 2010. In addition, OPCo paid $151 million of dividends on common stock. These decreases were partially offset by an $86 million issuance of Pollution Control Bonds in March 2010 and a $79 million issuance in May 2010.

129

Long-term debt issuances and retirements during the first six months of 2011 were:

		Principal			Interest	Due
	Type of Debt	Amount			Rate	Date
		(in thousands)			(%)
	Pollution Control Bonds	$	50,000	(a)	Variable	2014

(a)	These pollution control bonds are subject to redemption earlier than the maturity date. Consequently, this bond has been classified for maturity purposes as Long-term Debt Due Within One Year - Nonaffiliated on OPCo’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, PSO is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report. Also, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies within the Condensed Notes to Condensed Financial Statements beginning on page 162. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect net income, financial condition and cash flows.

(a)

Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.

·	Retail Margins decreased $2 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $5 million decrease primarily due to revenue decreases from rate riders. This decrease in retail margins had corresponding decreases to riders/trackers recognized in other expense items.
	·	A $4 million decrease in residential and commercial margins primarily due to lower non-weather related usage.
	These decreases were partially offset by:
	·	A $5 million increase in residential weather-related usage primarily due to a 19% increase in cooling degree days.
	·	A $3 million increase primarily due to decreased capacity and fuel costs.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $24 million primarily due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
·	Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased $3 million primarily due to a decrease in amortization of regulatory assets related to the Lawton settlement which was fully recovered in August 2010.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $12 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

·	Retail Margins decreased $2 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $10 million decrease primarily due to revenue decreases from rate riders. This decrease in retail margins had corresponding decreases to riders/trackers recognized in other expense items.
	This decrease was partially offset by:
	·	A $6 million increase primarily due to decreased capacity and fuel costs.
	·	A $4 million increase in weather-related usage primarily due to a 21% increase in cooling degree days, partially offset by lower industrial rates.
·	Other Revenues decreased $2 million primarily due to lower gains on the sale of emission allowances.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

·	Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $40 million primarily due to the following:
	·	A $23 million decrease due to expenses related to the cost reduction initiatives recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
	·	A $7 million decrease in maintenance of overhead lines primarily due to a decrease in vegetation management activities.
	·	A $5 million decrease in operation expenses due to lower employee-related expenses.
	·	A $4 million decrease in plant maintenance expenses resulting primarily from the 2011 deferral of generation maintenance expenses as a result of PSO’s base rate case.
·	Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased $6 million primarily due to a decrease in amortization of regulatory assets related to the Lawton settlement which was fully recovered in August 2010.
·	Interest Expense decreased $3 million primarily due to 2010 Oklahoma income tax settlements and lower interest on long-term debt in 2011.
·	Income Tax Expense increased $18 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

PSO participates in the Utility Money Pool, which provides access to AEP’s liquidity. PSO relies upon ready access to capital markets, cash flows from operations and access to the Utility Money Pool to fund current operations and capital expenditures. See the “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries” section beginning on page 227 for additional discussion of liquidity.

Credit Ratings

PSO’s access to capital markets may depend on its credit ratings. In addition, a credit rating downgrade of PSO by one of the rating agencies could increase PSO’s borrowing costs. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings may constrain PSO’s ability to participate in the Utility Money Pool or the amount of PSO’s receivables securitized by AEP Credit. Counterparty concerns about PSO’s credit quality could subject PSO to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

CASH FLOW

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at Beginning of Period	$	470	$	796
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities		218,684		8,473
Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities		(64,693)		(46,697)
Net Cash Flows from (Used for) Financing Activities		(153,488)		38,517
Net Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents		503		293
Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Period	$	973	$	1,089

Operating Activities

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $219 million in 2011. PSO produced Net Income of $47 million during the period and had noncash expense items of $48 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $34 million for Deferred Income Taxes, partially offset by a $19 million increase in the deferral of Property Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a number of items. The $33 million inflow from Accounts Receivable, Net was primarily due to decreases in affiliated receivables. The $30 million inflow from Accounts Payable was primarily due to increases related to fuel, purchased power and affiliated payables. The $16 million inflow from Accrued Taxes, Net was the result of an increase in property tax accruals.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $8 million in 2010. PSO produced Net Income of $20 million during the period and had noncash expense items of $54 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $33 million for Deferred Income Taxes, partially offset by a $19 million increase in the deferral of Property Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a $38 million inflow from Accounts Payable primarily due to increases related to purchased power and affiliated payables. The $100 million outflow from Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net was the result of higher fuel costs in relation to commission-approved fuel recovery rates.

141

Investing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities during 2011 and 2010 were $65 million and $47 million, respectively. Construction Expenditures of $65 million and $107 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily for projects to improve generation and service reliability for transmission and distribution in addition to customer service work. Construction Expenditures in 2010 also included storm restoration work. During 2010, PSO had a net decrease of $63 million in loans to the Utility Money Pool.

Financing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $153 million during 2011. PSO retired $275 million of Senior Unsecured Notes. PSO had a net decrease of $91 million in borrowings from the Utility Money Pool. In addition, PSO paid $33 million in common stock dividends. These decreases were partially offset by the issuance of $250 million of Senior Unsecured Notes.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities were $39 million during 2010. PSO had a net increase of $66 million in borrowings from the Utility Money Pool. This increase was partially offset by $25 million paid in common stock dividends.

Long-term debt issuances and retirements during the first six months of 2011 were:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Regulatory Activity

Turk Plant

Management expects that SWEPCo will ultimately be able to complete construction of the Turk Plant and related transmission facilities and place those facilities in service. However, if SWEPCo is unable to complete the Turk Plant construction, including the related transmission facilities, and place the Turk Plant in service or if SWEPCo cannot recover all of its investment and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it would materially reduce future net income and cash flows and materially impact financial condition. See “Turk Plant” section of Note 3.

Litigation and Environmental Issues

In the ordinary course of business, SWEPCo is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases which have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on regulatory proceedings and pending litigation, see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 6 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in the 2010 Annual Report. Also, see Note 3 – Rate Matters and Note 4 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies within the Condensed Notes to Condensed Financial Statements beginning on page 162. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to materially affect net income, financial condition and cash flows.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

SWEPCo participates in the Utility Money Pool, which provides access to AEP’s liquidity. SWEPCo relies upon ready access to capital markets, cash flows from operations and access to the Utility Money Pool to fund current operations and capital expenditures. See the “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries” section beginning on page 227 for additional discussion of liquidity.

Credit Ratings

SWEPCo’s access to capital markets may depend on its credit ratings. In addition, a credit rating downgrade of SWEPCo by one of the rating agencies could increase SWEPCo’s borrowing costs. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings may constrain SWEPCo’s ability to participate in the Utility Money Pool or the amount of SWEPCo’s receivables securitized by AEP Credit. Counterparty concerns about SWEPCo’s credit quality could subject SWEPCo to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

CASH FLOW

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at Beginning of Period	$	1,514	$	1,661
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities		209,863		80,809
Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities		(194,249)		(371,560)
Net Cash Flows from (Used for) Financing Activities		(15,039)		290,652
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents		575		(99)
Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Period	$	2,089	$	1,562

Operating Activities

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $210 million in 2011. SWEPCo produced Net Income of $81 million during the period and had noncash items of $66 million for Depreciation and Amortization and $24 million for Deferred Income Taxes, partially offset by $22 million in Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction and a $20 million increase in the deferral of Property Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a number of items. The $38 million inflow from Accounts Payable was primarily due to increases related to fuel and affiliated payables. The $25 million inflow from Accrued Taxes, Net was the result of an increase in property tax accruals. The $25 million outflow from Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net was primarily due to lower fuel cost recovery and SIA refunds in Arkansas and Louisiana.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities were $81 million in 2010. SWEPCo produced Net Income of $58 million during the period and had a noncash item of $63 million for Depreciation and Amortization, partially offset by $28 million in Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction and an $18 million increase in the deferral of Property Taxes. The other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital, as well as items that represent future rights or obligations to receive or pay cash, such as regulatory assets and liabilities. The activity in working capital relates to a number of items. The $32 million inflow from Accrued Taxes, Net was the result of an increase in property tax accruals. The $25 million outflow from Accounts Receivable, Net was primarily due to increased affiliated and jointly owned receivables, partially offset by lower construction-related receivables. The $20 million inflow from Fuel, Materials and Supplies was primarily due to a decrease in coal and lignite inventories. The $16 million outflow from Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net was the result of higher fuel costs in relation to commission-approved fuel recovery rates in Texas.

154

Investing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities during 2011 and 2010 were $194 million and $372 million, respectively. Construction Expenditures of $238 million and $176 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily for generation projects at the Turk Plant and Stall Unit, as well as projects to improve service reliability for distribution and transmission. The Stall Unit was placed in service in the second quarter of 2010. During 2011, SWEPCo decreased loans to the Utility Money Pool by $52 million. During 2010, SWEPCo increased loans to the Utility Money Pool by $193 million.

Financing Activities

Net Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities were $15 million during 2011. SWEPCo paid $7 million in principal payments for capital lease obligations. SWEPCo had a $6 million net decrease in revolving credit facility balances.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities were $291 million during 2010. SWEPCo issued $350 million of Senior Unsecured Notes and $54 million of Pollution Control Bonds. These increases were partially offset by a $54 million retirement of Pollution Control Bonds and a $50 million retirement of Notes Payable – Affiliated.

In July 2011, SWEPCo retired $41 million of 4.5% Pollution Control Bonds due in 2011.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS

General

The unaudited condensed financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the net income, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods for each Registrant Subsidiary. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The condensed financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2010 financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Registrant Subsidiaries’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

Variable Interest Entities

The accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities” is a consolidation model that considers if a company has a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A controlling financial interest will have both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Entities are required to consolidate a VIE when it is determined that they have a controlling financial interest in a VIE and therefore, are the primary beneficiary of that VIE, as defined by the accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities.” In determining whether they are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management considers for each Registrant Subsidiary factors such as equity at risk, the amount of the VIE’s variability the Registrant Subsidiary absorbs, guarantees of indebtedness, voting rights including kick-out rights, the power to direct the VIE and other factors. Management believes that significant assumptions and judgments were applied consistently. In addition, the Registrant Subsidiaries have not provided financial or other support to any VIE that was not previously contractually required.

SWEPCo is the primary beneficiary of Sabine. I&M is the primary beneficiary of DCC Fuel. APCo, CSPCo, I&M, OPCo, PSO and SWEPCo each hold a significant variable interest in AEPSC. I&M and CSPCo each hold a significant variable interest in AEGCo. SWEPCo holds a significant variable interest in DHLC.

Sabine is a mining operator providing mining services to SWEPCo. SWEPCo has no equity investment in Sabine but is Sabine’s only customer. SWEPCo guarantees the debt obligations and lease obligations of Sabine. Under the terms of the note agreements, substantially all assets are pledged and all rights under the lignite mining agreement are assigned to SWEPCo. The creditors of Sabine have no recourse to any AEP entity other than SWEPCo. Under the provisions of the mining agreement, SWEPCo is required to pay, as a part of the cost of lignite delivered, an amount equal to mining costs plus a management fee. In addition, SWEPCo determines how much coal will be mined for each year. Based on these facts, management concluded that SWEPCo is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate Sabine. SWEPCo’s total billings from Sabine for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $30 million and $30 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $64 million and $73 million, respectively. See the tables below for the classification of Sabine’s assets and liabilities on SWEPCo’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The balances below represent the assets and liabilities of Sabine that are consolidated. These balances include intercompany transactions that are eliminated upon consolidation.

I&M has a nuclear fuel lease agreement with DCC Fuel LLC, DCC Fuel II LLC and DCC Fuel III LLC (collectively DCC Fuel). DCC Fuel was formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning and leasing nuclear fuel to I&M. DCC Fuel purchased the nuclear fuel from I&M with funds received from the issuance of notes to financial institutions. Each entity is a single-lessee leasing arrangement with only one asset and is capitalized with all debt. DCC Fuel LLC, DCC Fuel II LLC and DCC Fuel III LLC are separate legal entities from I&M, the assets of which are not available to satisfy the debts of I&M. Payments on DCC Fuel LLC and DCC Fuel II LLC leases are made semi-annually and began in April 2010 and October 2010, respectively. Payments on the DCC Fuel III LLC lease are made monthly and began in January 2011. Payments on the DCC Fuel leases for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $38 million and $22 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $43 million and $22 million, respectively. The leases were recorded as capital leases on I&M’s balance sheet as title to the nuclear fuel transfers to I&M at the end of the 48, 54 and 54 month lease term, respectively. Based on I&M’s control of DCC Fuel, management concluded that I&M is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate DCC Fuel. The capital leases are eliminated upon consolidation. See the tables below for the classification of DCC Fuel’s assets and liabilities on I&M’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The balances below represent the assets and liabilities of DCC Fuel that are consolidated. These balances include intercompany transactions that are eliminated upon consolidation.

DHLC is a mining operator which sells 50% of the lignite produced to SWEPCo and 50% to CLECO. SWEPCo and CLECO share the executive board seats and its voting rights equally. Each entity guarantees a 50% share of DHLC’s debt. SWEPCo and CLECO equally approve DHLC’s annual budget. The creditors of DHLC have no recourse to any AEP entity other than SWEPCo. As SWEPCo is the sole equity owner of DHLC, it receives 100% of the management fee. SWEPCo’s total billings from DHLC for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $15 million and $13 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $29 million and $26 million, respectively. SWEPCo is not required to consolidate DHLC as it is not the primary beneficiary, although SWEPCo holds a significant variable interest in DHLC. SWEPCo’s equity investment in DHLC is included in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on SWEPCo’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

SWEPCo’s investment in DHLC was:

AEPSC provides certain managerial and professional services to AEP’s subsidiaries. AEP is the sole equity owner of AEPSC. AEP management controls the activities of AEPSC. The costs of the services are based on a direct charge or on a prorated basis and billed to the AEP subsidiary companies at AEPSC’s cost. AEP subsidiaries have not provided financial or other support outside of the reimbursement of costs for services rendered. AEPSC finances its operations through cost reimbursement from other AEP subsidiaries. There are no other terms or arrangements between AEPSC and any of the AEP subsidiaries that could require additional financial support from an AEP subsidiary or expose them to losses outside of the normal course of business. AEPSC and its billings are subject to regulation by the FERC. AEP subsidiaries are exposed to losses to the extent they cannot recover the costs of AEPSC through their normal business operations. AEP subsidiaries are considered to have a significant interest in AEPSC due to its activity in AEPSC’s cost reimbursement structure. However, AEP subsidiaries do not have control over AEPSC. AEPSC is consolidated by AEP. In the event AEPSC would require financing or other support outside the cost reimbursement billings, this financing would be provided by AEP.

Total AEPSC billings to the Registrant Subsidiaries were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Company	2011		2010		2011		2010

AEGCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEP, is consolidated by AEP. AEGCo owns a 50% ownership interest in Rockport Plant Unit 1, leases a 50% interest in Rockport Plant Unit 2 and owns 100% of the Lawrenceburg Generating Station. AEGCo sells all the output from the Rockport Plant to I&M and KPCo. AEGCo leases the Lawrenceburg Generating Station to CSPCo. AEP guarantees all the debt obligations of AEGCo. I&M and CSPCo are considered to have a significant interest in AEGCo due to these transactions. I&M and CSPCo are exposed to losses to the extent they cannot recover the costs of AEGCo through their normal business operations. In the event AEGCo would require financing or other support outside the billings to I&M, CSPCo and KPCo, this financing would be provided by AEP. For additional information regarding AEGCo’s lease, see the “Rockport Lease” section of Note 13 in the 2010 Annual Report.

Total billings from AEGCo were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Upon issuance of final pronouncements, management reviews the new accounting literature to determine its relevance, if any, to the Registrant Subsidiaries’ business. The following represents a summary of final pronouncements that impact the financial statements.

Pronouncements Issued During 2011

The following standard was issued during the first six months of 2011. The following paragraphs discuss its impact on future financial statements.

ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05)

166

adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. This standard must be retrospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date.

The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard will change the presentation of the financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income or comprehensive income. The Registrant Subsidiaries will adopt ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.

3. RATE MATTERS

As discussed in the 2010 Annual Report, the Registrant Subsidiaries are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. The Rate Matters note within the 2010 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report to gain a complete understanding of material rate matters still pending that could impact net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition. The following discusses ratemaking developments in 2011 and updates the 2010 Annual Report.

CSPCo and OPCo Rate Matters

Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings

2009 – 2011 ESPs

Discussed below are the significant outstanding uncertainties related to the ESP order:

168

In January 2011, the PUCO issued an order on CSPCo’s and OPCo’s 2009 SEET filings and determined that OPCo’s 2009 earnings were not significantly excessive but determined relevant CSPCo earnings exceeded the PUCO determined threshold by 2.13%. As a result, the PUCO ordered CSPCo to refund $43 million ($ 28 million net of tax) of its earnings to customers, which was recorded as a revenue provision on CSPCo’s December 2010 books. The PUCO ordered that the significantly excessive earnings be applied first to CSPCo’s FAC deferral, including unrecognized equity carrying costs, as of the date of the order, with any remaining balance to be credited to CSPCo’s customers on a per kilowatt basis. That credit began with the first billing cycle in February 2011 and will continue through December 2011. Several parties, including CSPCo and OPCo, filed requests for rehearing with the PUCO, which were denied in March 2011. In May 2011, the IEU and the Ohio Energy Group filed appeals with the Court challenging the PUCO’s SEET decisions. CSPCo and OPCo are required to file their 2010 SEET filings with the PUCO in 2011. Based upon the approach in the PUCO 2009 order, management does not currently believe that CSPCo or OPCo had any significantly excessive earnings in 2010.

Additionally, the IEU and Ohio Consumers' Counsel object to revenues collected in the period 2009 through 2011 for POLR and carrying charges related to environmental investments and propose similar adjustments as discussed in the ESP remand proceeding. See the "2009-2011 ESPs" section above. A hearing for this case is scheduled for August 2011 and a decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Ohio IGCC Plant

SWEPCo Rate Matters

Turk Plant

SWEPCo is currently constructing the Turk Plant, a new base load 600 MW pulverized coal ultra-supercritical generating unit in Arkansas, which is expected to be in service in 2012. SWEPCo owns 73% (440 MW) of the Turk Plant and will operate the completed facility. The Turk Plant is currently estimated to cost $ 1.7 billion, excluding AFUDC, plus an additional $124 million for transmission, excluding AFUDC. SWEPCo’s share is currently estimated to cost $ 1.3 billion, excluding AFUDC, plus the additional $124 million for transmission, excluding AFUDC. As of June 30, 2011, excluding costs attributable to its joint owners, SWEPCo has capitalized approximately $ 1.2 billion of expenditures (including AFUDC and capitalized interest of $175 million and related transmission costs of $ 79 million). As of June 30, 2011, the joint owners and SWEPCo have contractual construction commitments of approximately $211 million (including related transmission costs of $ 11 million). SWEPCo’s share of the contractual construction commitments is $157 million. If the plant is cancelled, the joint owners and SWEPCo would incur contractual construction cancellation fees, based on construction status as of June 30, 2011, of approximately $ 101 million (including related transmission cancellation fees of $1 million). SWEPCo’s share of the contractual construction cancellation fees would be approximately $ 74 million.

Discussed below are the significant outstanding uncertainties related to the Turk Plant:

172

Management expects that SWEPCo will ultimately be able to complete construction of the Turk Plant and related transmission facilities and place those facilities in service. However, if SWEPCo is unable to complete the Turk Plant construction, including the related transmission facilities, and place the Turk Plant in service or if SWEPCo cannot recover all of its investment and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it would materially reduce future net income and cash flows and materially impact financial condition.

173

Louisiana Fuel Adjustment Clause Audit

Consultants for the LPSC issued their audit report of SWEPCo’s Louisiana retail FAC recommending that the LPSC discontinue SWEPCo’s tiered sharing mechanism related to the off-system sales margins and reduce the FAC. In April 2011, a settlement agreement was filed with the LPSC which resulted in an immaterial impact for SWEPCo. The settlement agreement deferred the off-system sales issue to SWEPCo’s upcoming formula rate plan (FRP) extension filing, which is expected to be filed in the second half of 2011. In June 2011, the LPSC approved the settlement agreement.

Louisiana 2008 Formula Rate Filing

In April 2008, SWEPCo filed its first formula rate filing under an approved three-year FRP. SWEPCo requested an increase in its annual Louisiana retail rates of $11 million to be effective in August 2008 in order to earn the approved formula return on common equity of 10.565%. In August 2008, as provided by the FRP, SWEPCo implemented the FRP rates, subject to refund. During 2009, SWEPCo recorded a provision for refund of approximately $1 million after reaching a settlement in principle with intervenors. SWEPCo began refunding customers in August 2010. In March 2011, the LPSC approved the settlement stipulation.

Louisiana 2009 Formula Rate Filing

In April 2009, SWEPCo filed the second FRP which would increase its annual Louisiana retail rates by an additional $4 million effective in August 2009. SWEPCo implemented the FRP rate increase as filed in August 2009, subject to refund. Consultants for the LPSC objected to certain components of SWEPCo’s FRP calculation. A settlement stipulation was reached by the parties and approved by the LPSC in March 2011. The settlement stipulation provided for a $2 million refund, which was recorded in 2010 as a provision in Other Current Liabilities on SWEPCo's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The refund to customers, with interest, will begin in August 2011.

Louisiana 2010 Formula Rate Filing

In April 2010, SWEPCo filed the third FRP which would decrease its annual Louisiana retail rates by $3 million effective in August 2010 pursuant to the approved FRP, subject to refund. In October 2010, consultants for the LPSC objected to certain components of SWEPCo’s FRP calculations. Hearings are scheduled for November 2011. SWEPCo believes the rates as filed are in compliance with the FRP methodology previously approved by the LPSC. If the LPSC disagrees with SWEPCo, it could result in refunds which could reduce future net income and cash flows.

APCo Rate Matters

2011 Virginia Biennial Base Rate Case

In March 2011, APCo filed a generation and distribution base rate request with the Virginia SCC to increase annual base rates by $126 million based upon an 11.65% return on common equity to be effective no later than February 2012. The return on common equity includes a requested 0.5% renewable portfolio standards incentive as allowed by law. APCo proposed to mitigate the requested base rate increase by $ 51 million by maintaining current depreciation rates until the next biennial filing. If approved, APCo’s net base rate increase would be $75 million. In July 2011, an Attorney General witness recommended an $ 80 million reduction in APCo’s requested rate year capacity charges.

Rate Adjustment Clauses

174

is requesting recovery of environmental compliance costs incurred from January 2009 through December 2010 of $38 million annually based on a two-year amortization. The renewable energy program RAC is requesting the incremental portion of deferred wind power costs for the Camp Grove and Fowler Ridge projects of $ 6 million. The generation RAC is requesting recovery of the Dresden Plant, currently under construction, which APCo has requested to purchase from AEGCo.

2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case

In May 2010, APCo filed a request with the WVPSC to increase APCo’s annual base rates by $140 million based upon an 11.75% return on common equity to be effective March 2011. In March 2011, the WVPSC modified and approved a settlement agreement which increased annual base rates by approximately $46 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. The settlement agreement also resulted in a pretax write-off of a portion of the Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Product Validation Facility in the first quarter of 2011. See “Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project” section below. In addition, the WVPSC allowed APCo to defer and amortize $18 million of previously expensed 2009 incremental storm expenses and $14 million of previously expensed costs related to the 2010 cost reduction initiatives, each over a period of seven years.

Mountaineer Carbon Capture and Storage Project

Product Validation Facility (PVF)

In APCo’s May 2010 West Virginia base rate filing, APCo requested rate base treatment of the PVF, including recovery of the related asset retirement obligation regulatory asset amortization and accretion. In March 2011, a WVPSC order denied the request for rate base treatment of the PVF largely due to its experimental operation. The base rate order provided that should APCo construct a commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facility, only the West Virginia portion of the PVF costs, based on load sharing among certain AEP operating companies, may be considered used and useful plant in service and included in future rate base. As a result, APCo recorded a pretax write-off of $41 million ($26 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2011 recorded to Other Operation expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “2010 West Virginia Base Rate Case” section above. As of June 30, 2011, APCo has recorded a noncurrent regulatory asset of $19 million related to the PVF. If APCo cannot recover its remaining PVF investment and related accretion expenses, it would reduce future net income and cash flows.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project with the Department of Energy (DOE) (Commercial Scale Project)

During 2010, AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, began the project definition stage for the potential construction of a new commercial scale CCS facility at the Mountaineer Plant. AEPSC, on behalf of APCo, applied for and was selected to receive funding from the DOE for the project. The DOE agreed to fund 50% of allowable costs incurred for the CCS facility up to a maximum of $334 million. In July 2011, management informed the DOE that it will complete a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study during the third quarter of 2011, but it is postponing any further CCS project activities because of the uncertainty about the regulation of CO 2 . As of June 30, 2011, the project has incurred $30 million in total costs and has received $10 million of DOE eligible funding resulting in a $20 million net balance recorded in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance

175

Sheets. In June 2011, FEED study costs were allocated among the Registrant Subsidiaries and KPCo. Requests for recovery are in process in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. If the Registrant Subsidiaries are unable to recover the allocated costs of the CCS project, it would reduce future net income and cash flows.

APCo’s Filings for an IGCC Plant

APCo’s 2009 Expanded Net Energy Charge (ENEC) Filing

In September 2009, the WVPSC issued an order approving APCo’s March 2009 ENEC request. The approved order provided for recovery of an under-recovered balance plus a projected increase in ENEC costs over a four-year phase-in period with an overall increase of $320 million and a first-year increase of $112 million, effective October 2009.

In June 2010, the WVPSC approved a settlement agreement for $86 million, including $9 million of construction surcharges related to APCo’s second year ENEC increase. The settlement agreement allows APCo to accrue a weighted average cost of capital carrying charge on the excess under-recovery balance due to the ENEC phase-in as adjusted for the impacts of Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes. The new rates became effective in July 2010.

In June 2011, the WVPSC issued an order approving an $88 million annual increase including $7 million of construction surcharges and $7 million of carrying charges related to APCo’s third year ENEC increase. The order also allows APCo to accrue a fixed annual carrying cost rate of 4%. The new rates became effective in July 2011. Additionally, the order approved APCo’s request to purchase the Dresden Plant, currently under construction, from AEGCo and approved deferral of post in-service Dresden Plant costs, including a return, for future recovery. As of June 30, 2011, APCo’s ENEC under-recovery balance was $387 million, excluding $8 million of unrecognized equity carrying costs, which is included in noncurrent regulatory assets. If the WVPSC were to disallow a portion of APCo’s deferred ENEC costs, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Seams Elimination Cost Allocation (SECA) Revenue Subject to Refund – Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo

Company	(in millions)
APCo	$	70.2
CSPCo		38.8
I&M		41.3
OPCo		53.3

177

AEP filed briefs jointly with other affected companies asking the FERC to reverse the decision. In May 2010, the FERC issued an order that generally supports AEP’s position and requires a compliance filing to be filed with the FERC by August 2010. In June 2010, AEP and other affected companies filed a joint request for rehearing with the FERC.

The AEP East companies provided reserves for net refunds for SECA settlements totaling $44 million applicable to the $220 million of SECA revenues collected. APCo’s, CSPCo’s, I&M’s and OPCo’s portions of the provision are as follows:

Company	(in millions)
APCo	$	14.1
CSPCo		7.8
I&M		8.3
OPCo		10.7

Settlements approved by the FERC consumed $10 million of the reserve for refunds applicable to $112 million of SECA revenue. In December 2010, the FERC issued an order approving a settlement agreement resulting in the collection of $2 million of previously deemed uncollectible SECA revenue. Therefore, the AEP East companies reduced their reserves for net refunds for SECA settlements by $2 million. The balance in the reserve for future settlements as of June 30, 2011 was $32 million. APCo’s, CSPCo’s, I&M’s and OPCo’s reserve balances as of June 30, 2011 were:

Company	June 30, 2011
	(in millions)
APCo	$	10.0
CSPCo		5.6
I&M		5.9

APCo	$	6.4	$	3.2
CSPCo		3.5		1.8
I&M		3.7		1.9
OPCo		4.8		2.4

Based on the AEP East companies’ analysis of the May 2010 order and the compliance filing, management believes that the reserve is adequate to pay the refunds, including interest, that will be required should the May 2010 order or the compliance filing be made final. Management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding at the FERC which could impact future net income and cash flows.

Possible Termination of the Interconnection Agreement – Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo

enter into bilateral or multi-party contracts with each other for power sales and purchases or asset transfers or if each company will choose to operate independently. This decision to terminate is subject to management’s ongoing evaluation. The AEP Power Pool members may revoke their notices of termination. If any of the AEP Power Pool members experience decreases in revenues or increases in costs as a result of the termination of the AEP Power Pool and are unable to recover the change in revenues and costs through rates, prices or additional sales, it could reduce future net income and cash flows.

PJM/MISO Market Flow Calculation Settlement Adjustments - Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo

Modification of the Transmission Coordination Agreement (TCA) – Affecting PSO and SWEPCo

PSO, SWEPCo and TNC are parties to the TCA, originally dated January 1, 1997, as amended. The TCA provides for the allocation among the parties of revenues collected for transmission and ancillary services provided under the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).

In April 2011, the FERC accepted proposed revisions to the TCA. Under this amendment, TNC was removed from the TCA. In addition, the amended TCA provides for the allocation of SPP OATT revenues between PSO and SWEPCo based on the SPP formula rate revenue requirements for transmission investment and related expenses of each company. The amended TCA is effective May 1, 2011.

4. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

The Registrant Subsidiaries are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in their ordinary course of business. In addition, their business activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation related to public health and the environment. The ultimate outcome of such pending or potential litigation cannot be predicted. For current proceedings not specifically discussed below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. The Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies note within the 2010 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report.

GUARANTEES

Liabilities for guarantees are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Guarantees.” There is no collateral held in relation to any guarantees. In the event any guarantee is drawn, there is no recourse to third parties unless specified below.

Letters of Credit – Affecting APCo, I&M, OPCo and SWEPCo

Certain Registrant Subsidiaries enter into standby letters of credit with third parties. These letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and cover items such as insurance programs, security deposits and debt service reserves.

AEP has two $1.5 billion credit facilities, under which up to $1.35 billion may be issued as letters of credit. In July 2011, AEP replaced the $1.5 billion facility due in 2012 with a new $1.75 billion facility maturing in July 2016 and extended the $1.5 billion facility due in 2013 to expire in June 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum future payments of the letters of credit were as follows:

Company	Amount		Maturity
	(in thousands)
I&M	$	150	March 2012
SWEPCo		4,448	March 2012

179

In March 2011, the Registrant Subsidiaries and certain other companies in the AEP System terminated a $478 million credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in April 2011 and was used to support variable rate Pollution Control Bonds. In March 2011, certain variable rate Pollution Control Bonds were remarketed and supported by bilateral letters of credit for $361 million while others were reacquired and are being held in trust. As of June 30, 2011, $472 million of variable rate Pollution Control Bonds were remarketed or reacquired as follows:

	June 30, 2011

			Reacquired		Bilateral		Maturity of
			and Held		Letters of		Bilateral Letters
Company	Remarketed		in Trust		Credit Issued		of Credit
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	229,650	$	-	$	232,293	March 2013 to March 2014
I&M		77,000		-		77,886	March 2013
OPCo		50,000		115,000		50,575	March 2013

Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations – Affecting SWEPCo

As part of the process to receive a renewal of a Texas Railroad Commission permit for lignite mining, SWEPCo provides guarantees of mine reclamation of approximately $65 million. In July 2011, SWEPCo’s guarantee was increased to $100 million due to expansion of the mining area. Since SWEPCo uses self-bonding, the guarantee provides for SWEPCo to commit to use its resources to complete the reclamation in the event the work is not completed by Sabine Mining Company (Sabine), a consolidated variable interest entity. This guarantee ends upon depletion of reserves and completion of final reclamation. Based on the latest study, it is estimated the reserves will be depleted in 2036 with final reclamation completed by 2046 at an estimated cost of approximately $58 million. As of June 30, 2011, SWEPCo has collected approximately $51 million through a rider for final mine closure and reclamation costs, of which $1 million is recorded in Other Current Liabilities, $30 million is recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities and $20 million is recorded in Asset Retirement Obligations on SWEPCo’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sabine charges SWEPCo, its only customer, all of its costs. SWEPCo passes these costs to customers through its fuel clause.

Indemnifications and Other Guarantees – Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M, OPCo, PSO and SWEPCo

Contracts

The Registrant Subsidiaries enter into certain types of contracts which require indemnifications. Typically these contracts include, but are not limited to, sale agreements, lease agreements, purchase agreements and financing agreements. Generally, these agreements may include, but are not limited to, indemnifications around certain tax, contractual and environmental matters. With respect to sale agreements, exposure generally does not exceed the sale price. As of June 30, 2011, there were no material liabilities recorded for any indemnifications.

The AEP East companies, PSO and SWEPCo are jointly and severally liable for activity conducted by AEPSC on behalf of the AEP East companies, PSO and SWEPCo related to power purchase and sale activity conducted pursuant to the SIA.

Master Lease Agreements

The Registrant Subsidiaries lease certain equipment under master lease agreements. In December 2010, management signed a new master lease agreement with GE Capital Commercial Inc. (GE) to replace existing operating and capital leases with GE. These assets were included in existing master lease agreements that were to be terminated in 2011 since GE exercised the termination provision related to these leases in 2008. Certain previously leased assets were not included in the 2010 refinancing, but were purchased in January 2011.

180

For equipment under the GE master lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed receipt of up to 78% of the unamortized balance of the equipment at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the leased equipment is below the unamortized balance at the end of the lease term, the Registrant Subsidiaries are committed to pay the difference between the fair value and the unamortized balance, with the total guarantee not to exceed 78% of the unamortized balance. For equipment under other master lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed a residual value up to a stated percentage of either the unamortized balance or the equipment cost at the end of the lease term. If the actual fair value of the leased equipment is below the guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term, the Registrant Subsidiaries are committed to pay the difference between the actual fair value and the residual value guarantee. At June 30, 2011, the maximum potential loss by Registrant Subsidiary for these lease agreements assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the lease term was as follows:

	Maximum
Company	Potential Loss
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	1,450
CSPCo		986
I&M		1,867
OPCo		1,381
PSO		768
SWEPCo		2,727

Historically, at the end of the lease term the fair value has been in excess of the unamortized balance.

Railcar Lease

Under the lease agreement, the lessor is guaranteed that the sale proceeds under a return-and-sale option will equal at least a lessee obligation amount specified in the lease, which declines from approximately 84% under the current five year lease term to 77% at the end of the 20-year term of the projected fair value of the equipment. I&M and SWEPCo have assumed the guarantee under the return-and-sale option. I&M’s maximum potential loss related to the guarantee is approximately $12 million and SWEPCo’s is approximately $13 million assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the current five-year lease term. However, management believes that the fair value would produce a sufficient sales price to avoid any loss.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES

Carbon Dioxide Public Nuisance Claims – Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M, OPCo, PSO and SWEPCo

181

administration to secure the relief sought in their complaints. The court stated that Congress could enact comprehensive legislation to regulate CO 2 emissions or that the Federal EPA could regulate CO 2 emissions under existing CAA authorities and that either of these actions could override any decision made by the district court under federal common law. The Second Circuit did not rule on whether the plaintiffs could proceed with their state common law nuisance claims. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the defendants’ petition for review. In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals, finding that plaintiffs’ federal common law claims are displaced by the regulatory authority granted to the Federal EPA under the CAA.

In October 2009, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a decision by the Federal District Court for the District of Mississippi dismissing state common law nuisance claims in a putative class action by Mississippi residents asserting that CO 2 emissions exacerbated the effects of Hurricane Katrina. The Fifth Circuit held that there was no exclusive commitment of the common law issues raised in plaintiffs’ complaint to a coordinate branch of government and that no initial policy determination was required to adjudicate these claims. The court granted petitions for rehearing. An additional recusal left the Fifth Circuit without a quorum to reconsider the decision and the appeal was dismissed, leaving the district court’s decision in place. Plaintiffs filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to remand the case to the Fifth Circuit and reinstate the panel decision. The petition was denied in January 2011. Plaintiffs refiled their complaint in federal district court. Management believes the claims are without merit, and in addition to other defenses, are barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel and the applicable statute of limitations. Management intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

Alaskan Villages’ Claims – Affecting APCo, CSPCo, I&M, OPCo, PSO and SWEPCo

In 2008, the Native Village of Kivalina and the City of Kivalina, Alaska filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Northern District of California against AEP, AEPSC and 22 other unrelated defendants including oil and gas companies, a coal company and other electric generating companies. The complaint alleges that the defendants' emissions of CO 2 contribute to global warming and constitute a public and private nuisance and that the defendants are acting together. The complaint further alleges that some of the defendants, including AEP, conspired to create a false scientific debate about global warming in order to deceive the public and perpetuate the alleged nuisance. The plaintiffs also allege that the effects of global warming will require the relocation of the village at an alleged cost of $95 million to $400 million. In October 2009, the judge dismissed plaintiffs’ federal common law claim for nuisance, finding the claim barred by the political question doctrine and by plaintiffs’ lack of standing to bring the claim. The judge also dismissed plaintiffs’ state law claims without prejudice to refiling in state court. The plaintiffs appealed the decision. Briefing is complete and no date has been set for oral argument. The defendants requested that the court defer setting this case for oral argument until after the Supreme Court issues its decision in the CO 2 public nuisance case discussed above. The court entered an order deferring argument until after June 2011 and the parties requested supplemental briefing on the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision. Management believes the action is without merit and intends to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation – Affecting I&M

By-products from the generation of electricity include materials such as ash, slag, sludge, low-level radioactive waste and SNF. Coal combustion by-products, which constitute the overwhelming percentage of these materials, are typically treated and deposited in captive disposal facilities or are beneficially utilized. In addition, the generating plants and transmission and distribution facilities have used asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and other hazardous and nonhazardous materials. The Registrant Subsidiaries currently incur costs to dispose of these substances safely.

In March 2008, I&M received a letter from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) concerning conditions at a site under state law and requesting I&M take voluntary action necessary to prevent and/or mitigate public harm. I&M started remediation work in accordance with a plan approved by MDEQ. I&M’s provision is approximately $11 million. As the remediation work is completed, I&M’s cost may continue to increase as new information becomes available concerning either the level of contamination at the site or changes in the scope of remediation required by the MDEQ. Management cannot predict the amount of additional cost, if any.

182

Amos Plant – State and Federal Enforcement Proceedings – Affecting APCo and OPCo

In March 2010, APCo and OPCo received a letter from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Quality (DAQ), alleging that at various times in 2007 through 2009 the units at Amos Plant reported periods of excess opacity (indicator of compliance with PM emission limits) that lasted for more than 30 consecutive minutes in a 24-hour period and that certain required notifications were not made. Management met with representatives of DAQ to discuss these occurrences and the steps taken to prevent a recurrence. DAQ indicated that additional enforcement action may be taken, including imposition of a civil penalty of approximately $240 thousand. APCo and OPCo denied that violations of the reporting requirements occurred and maintain that the proper reporting was done. In March 2011, APCo and OPCo resolved these issues through the entry of a consent order that included the payment of a $75 thousand civil penalty and certain improvements in the opacity reports.

In March 2010, APCo and OPCo received a request to show cause from the Federal EPA alleging that certain reporting requirements under Superfund and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act had been violated and inviting APCo and OPCo to engage in settlement negotiations. The request includes a proposed civil penalty of approximately $300 thousand. Management indicated a willingness to engage in good faith negotiations and provided additional information to representatives of the Federal EPA. Management has not admitted that any violations occurred or that the amount of the proposed penalty is reasonable.

NUCLEAR CONTINGENCIES – AFFECTING I&M

I&M owns and operates the two-unit 2,191 MW Cook Plant under licenses granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I&M has a significant future financial commitment to dispose of SNF and to safely decommission and decontaminate the plant. The licenses to operate the two nuclear units at the Cook Plant expire in 2034 and 2037. The operation of a nuclear facility also involves special risks, potential liabilities and specific regulatory and safety requirements. By agreement, I&M is partially liable, together with all other electric utility companies that own nuclear generating units, for a nuclear power plant incident at any nuclear plant in the U.S. Should a nuclear incident occur at any nuclear power plant in the U.S., the resultant liability could be substantial.

Cook Plant Unit 1 Fire and Shutdown

In September 2008, I&M shut down Cook Plant Unit 1 (Unit 1) due to turbine vibrations, caused by blade failure, which resulted in significant turbine damage and a small fire on the electric generator. This equipment, located in the turbine building, is separate and isolated from the nuclear reactor. The turbine rotors that caused the vibration were installed in 2006 and are within the vendor’s warranty period. The warranty provides for the repair or replacement of the turbine rotors if the damage was caused by a defect in materials or workmanship. Repair of the property damage and replacement of the turbine rotors and other equipment could cost up to approximately $408 million. Management believes that I&M should recover a significant portion of these costs through the turbine vendor’s warranty, insurance and the regulatory process. I&M repaired Unit 1 and it resumed operations in December 2009 at slightly reduced power. The Unit 1 rotors were repaired and reinstalled due to the extensive lead time required to manufacture and install new turbine rotors. As a result, the replacement of the repaired turbine rotors and other equipment is scheduled for the Unit 1 planned outage in the fall of 2011.

I&M maintains insurance through NEIL. As of June 30, 2011, I&M recorded $60 million on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet representing amounts under NEIL insurance policies. Through June 30, 2011, I&M received partial payments of $203 million from NEIL for the cost incurred to date to repair the property damage.

OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCIES

Fort Wayne Lease – Affecting I&M

Since 1975 I&M has leased certain energy delivery assets from the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana under a long-term lease that expired on February 28, 2010. I&M negotiated with Fort Wayne to purchase the assets at the end of the lease, but no agreement was reached prior to the end of the lease.

I&M and Fort Wayne reached a settlement agreement. The agreement, signed in October 2010, is subject to approval by the IURC. I&M filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the agreement, including recovery in rates of payments made to Fort Wayne. If the agreement is approved, I&M will purchase the remaining leased property and settle claims Fort Wayne asserted. The agreement provides that I&M will pay Fort Wayne a total of $39 million, inclusive of interest, over 15 years and Fort Wayne will recognize that I&M is the exclusive electricity supplier in the Fort Wayne area. In April 2011, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) filed comments opposing portions of the settlement agreement. An agreement with the OUCC was reached and hearing before the IURC occurred in June 2011. IURC approval of the agreement is expected during the third quarter of 2011. If the agreement is not approved by the IURC, the parties have the right to terminate the agreement and pursue other relief.

Coal Transportation Rate Dispute – Affecting PSO

In 1985, the Burlington Northern Railroad Co. (now BNSF) entered into a coal transportation agreement with PSO. The agreement contained a base rate subject to adjustment, a rate floor, a reopener provision and an arbitration provision. In 1992, PSO reopened the pricing provision. The parties failed to reach an agreement and the matter was arbitrated, with the arbitration panel establishing a lowered rate as of July 1, 1992 (the 1992 Rate) and modifying the rate adjustment formula. The decision did not mention the rate floor. From April 1996 through the contract termination in December 2001, the 1992 Rate exceeded the adjusted rate determined according to the decision. PSO paid the adjusted rate and contended that the panel eliminated the rate floor. BNSF invoiced at the 1992 Rate and contended that the 1992 Rate was the new rate floor. PSO terminated the contract by paying a termination fee, as required by the agreement. BNSF contends that the termination fee should have been calculated on the 1992 Rate, not the adjusted rate, resulting in an underpayment of approximately $9.5 million, including interest.

This matter was submitted to an arbitration board. In April 2006, the arbitration board filed its decision, denying BNSF’s underpayments claim. PSO filed a request for an order confirming the arbitration award and a request for entry of judgment on the award with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. On July 14, 2006, the U.S. District Court issued an order confirming the arbitration award. BNSF pursued the matter by filing a Motion to Reconsider, which was granted, but in August 2009, the U.S. District Court upheld the arbitration board’s decision. BNSF further pursued the decision by appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals, where in December 2010, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the U.S. District Court’s order confirming the arbitration award. PSO then sought and received approval for reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and expenses related to the proceedings at the district court. In July 2011, the Magistrate for the U.S. District Court also recommended for PSO to be awarded the full amount of its requested appellate attorneys’ fees.

7. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Registrant Subsidiaries each have one reportable segment, an integrated electricity generation, transmission and distribution business. The Registrant Subsidiaries’ other activities are insignificant. The Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations are managed on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures and operating results.

8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

OBJECTIVES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Registrant Subsidiaries are exposed to certain market risks as major power producers and marketers of wholesale electricity, coal and emission allowances. These risks include commodity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact the Registrant Subsidiaries due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, manages these risks using derivative instruments.

STRATEGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Trading Strategies

The strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes focuses on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of the commodities in which AEPSC transacts on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries.

Risk Management Strategies

The strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments focuses on managing risk exposures, future cash flows and creating value utilizing both economic and formal hedging strategies. To accomplish these objectives, AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, primarily employs risk management contracts including physical forward purchase and sale contracts, financial forward purchase and sale contracts and financial swap instruments. Not all risk management contracts meet the definition of a derivative under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and

188

Hedging.” Derivative risk management contracts elected normal under the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are not subject to the requirements of this accounting guidance.

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into power, coal, natural gas, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, heating oil and gasoline, emission allowance and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into interest rate derivative contracts in order to manage the interest rate exposure associated with the Registrant Subsidiaries’ commodity portfolio. For disclosure purposes, such risks are grouped as “Commodity,” as these risks are related to energy risk management activities. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, also engages in risk management of interest rate risk associated with debt financing and foreign currency risk associated with future purchase obligations denominated in foreign currencies. For disclosure purposes, these risks are grouped as “Interest Rate and Foreign Currency.” The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of AEP’s Board of Directors.

The following tables represent the gross notional volume of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ outstanding derivative contracts as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Fair Value Hedging Strategies

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into interest rate derivative transactions as part of an overall strategy to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Certain interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify an exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of fixed-rate debt to a floating rate. Provided specific criteria are met, these interest rate derivatives are designated as fair value hedges.

189

Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into and designates as cash flow hedges certain derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of power, coal, natural gas and heating oil and gasoline (“Commodity”) in order to manage the variable price risk related to the forecasted purchase and sale of these commodities. Management monitors the potential impacts of commodity price changes and, where appropriate, enters into derivative transactions to protect profit margins for a portion of future electricity sales and fuel or energy purchases. The Registrant Subsidiaries do not hedge all commodity price risk.

The Registrant Subsidiaries’ vehicle fleet is exposed to gasoline and diesel fuel price volatility. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into financial heating oil and gasoline derivative contracts in order to mitigate price risk of future fuel purchases. For disclosure purposes, these contracts are included with other hedging activity as “Commodity.” The Registrant Subsidiaries do not hedge all fuel price risk.

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, enters into a variety of interest rate derivative transactions in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. Some interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of floating-rate debt to a fixed rate. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, also enters into interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to anticipated borrowings of fixed-rate debt. The anticipated fixed-rate debt offerings have a high probability of occurrence as the proceeds will be used to fund existing debt maturities and projected capital expenditures. The Registrant Subsidiaries do not hedge all interest rate exposure.

At times, the Registrant Subsidiaries are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks primarily when some fixed assets are purchased from foreign suppliers. In accordance with AEP’s risk management policy, AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, may enter into foreign currency derivative transactions to protect against the risk of increased cash outflows resulting from a foreign currency’s appreciation against the dollar. The Registrant Subsidiaries do not hedge all foreign currency exposure.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging” requires recognition of all qualifying derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments accounted for using MTM accounting or hedge accounting are based on exchange prices and broker quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of fair value is based on the best information available including valuation models that estimate future energy prices based on existing market and broker quotes, supply and demand market data and assumptions. In order to determine the relevant fair values of the derivative instruments, the Registrant Subsidiaries also apply valuation adjustments for discounting, liquidity and credit quality.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform on the contract or fail to pay amounts due. Liquidity risk represents the risk that imperfections in the market will cause the price to vary from estimated fair value based upon prevailing market supply and demand conditions. Since energy markets are imperfect and volatile, there are inherent risks related to the underlying assumptions in models used to fair value risk management contracts. Unforeseen events may cause reasonable price curves to differ from actual price curves throughout a contract’s term and at the time a contract settles. Consequently, there could be significant adverse or favorable effects on future net income and cash flows if market prices are not consistent with management’s estimates of current market consensus for forward prices in the current period. This is particularly true for longer term contracts. Cash flows may vary based on market conditions, margin requirements and the timing of settlement of risk management contracts.

190

According to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Registrant Subsidiaries reflect the fair values of derivative instruments subject to netting agreements with the same counterparty net of related cash collateral. For certain risk management contracts, the Registrant Subsidiaries are required to post or receive cash collateral based on third party contractual agreements and risk profiles. For the June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 balance sheets, the Registrant Subsidiaries netted cash collateral received from third parties against short-term and long-term risk management assets and cash collateral paid to third parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities as follows:

(a) Represents realized and unrealized gains and losses subject to regulatory accounting treatment recorded as either current or noncurrent on the balance sheet.

198

The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Depending on the exposure, management designates a hedging instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

For contracts that have not been designated as part of a hedging relationship, the accounting for changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative instrument is held for trading purposes. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments held for trading purposes are included in revenues on a net basis on the Condensed Statements of Income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments not held for trading purposes are included in revenues or expenses on the Condensed Statements of Income depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. However, unrealized and some realized gains and losses in regulated jurisdictions (APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo) for both trading and non-trading derivative instruments are recorded as regulatory assets (for losses) or regulatory liabilities (for gains) in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations.”

Accounting for Fair Value Hedging Strategies

The Registrant Subsidiaries record realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and any offsetting changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged in Interest Expense on the Condensed Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Registrant Subsidiaries did not employ any fair value hedging strategies.

Accounting for Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

For cash flow hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the Registrant Subsidiaries initially report the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Condensed Balance Sheets until the period the hedged item affects Net Income. The Registrant Subsidiaries recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in Net Income immediately during the period of change, except in regulated jurisdictions where hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as a regulatory asset (for losses) or a regulatory liability (for gains).

Realized gains and losses on derivative contracts for the purchase and sale of power, coal, natural gas and heating oil and gasoline designated as cash flow hedges are included in Revenues, Fuel and Other Consumables Used for Electric Generation or Purchased Electricity for Resale on the Condensed Statements of Income, or in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the Condensed Balance Sheets, depending on the specific nature of the risk being hedged. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo designated commodity derivatives as cash flow hedges.

The Registrant Subsidiaries reclassify gains and losses on financial fuel derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Condensed Balance Sheets into Other Operation expense, Maintenance expense or Depreciation and Amortization expense, as it relates to capital projects, on the Condensed Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Registrant Subsidiaries designated heating oil and gasoline derivatives as cash flow hedges.

199

The Registrant Subsidiaries reclassify gains and losses on interest rate derivative hedges related to debt financings from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Interest Expense in those periods in which hedged interest payments occur. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, SWEPCo designated interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, APCo and PSO designated interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, APCo designated interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges.

The accumulated gains or losses related to foreign currency hedges are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Condensed Balance Sheets into Depreciation and Amortization expense on the Condensed Statements of Income over the depreciable lives of the fixed assets that were designated as the hedged items in qualifying foreign currency hedging relationships. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, SWEPCo designated foreign currency derivatives as cash flow hedges.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial or nonexistent for all of the hedge strategies disclosed above.

200

The following tables provide details on designated, effective cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Condensed Balance Sheets and the reasons for changes in cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All amounts in the following tables are presented net of related income taxes.

Credit Risk

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, limits credit risk in their wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, uses Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

AEPSC, on behalf of the Registrant Subsidiaries, uses standardized master agreements which may include collateral requirements. These master agreements facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. Cash, letters of credit and parental/affiliate guarantees may be obtained as security from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk. The collateral agreements require a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit in the event an exposure exceeds the established threshold. The threshold represents an unsecured credit limit which may be supported by a parental/affiliate guaranty, as determined in accordance with AEP’s credit policy. In addition, collateral agreements allow for termination and liquidation of all positions in the event of a failure or inability to post collateral.

206

Collateral Triggering Events

Under the tariffs of the RTOs and Independent System Operators (ISOs) and a limited number of derivative and non-derivative contracts primarily related to competitive retail auction loads, the Registrant Subsidiaries are obligated to post an additional amount of collateral if certain credit ratings decline below investment grade. The amount of collateral required fluctuates based on market prices and total exposure. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these collateral triggering items in contracts. Management does not anticipate a downgrade below investment grade. The following tables represent: (a) the Registrant Subsidiaries’ aggregate fair values of such derivative contracts, (b) the amount of collateral the Registrant Subsidiaries would have been required to post for all derivative and non-derivative contracts if credit ratings of the Registrant Subsidiaries had declined below investment grade and (c) how much was attributable to RTO and ISO activities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Registrant Subsidiaries were not required to post any collateral.

207

In addition, a majority of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ non-exchange traded commodity contracts contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by Parent or the obligor under outstanding debt or a third party obligation in excess of $50 million. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-default provisions in the contracts. Management does not anticipate a non-performance event under these provisions. The following tables represent: (a) the fair value of these derivative liabilities subject to cross-default provisions prior to consideration of contractual netting arrangements, (b) the amount this exposure has been reduced by cash collateral posted by the Registrant Subsidiaries and (c) if a cross-default provision would have been triggered, the settlement amount that would be required after considering the Registrant Subsidiaries’ contractual netting arrangements as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation Techniques

208

For commercial activities, exchange traded derivatives, namely futures contracts, are generally fair valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, as well as exchange traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1. Management verifies price curves using these broker quotes and classifies these fair values within Level 2 when substantially all of the fair value can be corroborated. Management typically obtains multiple broker quotes, which are non-binding in nature but are based on recent trades in the marketplace. When multiple broker quotes are obtained, the quoted bid and ask prices are averaged. In certain circumstances, a broker quote may be discarded if it is a clear outlier. Management uses a historical correlation analysis between the broker quoted location and the illiquid locations. If the points are highly correlated, these locations are included within Level 2 as well. Certain OTC and bilaterally executed derivative instruments are executed in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information. Long-dated and illiquid complex or structured transactions and FTRs can introduce the need for internally developed modeling inputs based upon extrapolations and assumptions of observable market data to estimate fair value. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3.

AEP utilizes its trustee’s external pricing service in its estimate of the fair value of the underlying investments held in the nuclear trusts. AEP’s investment managers review and validate the prices utilized by the trustee to determine fair value. AEP’s investment managers perform their own valuation testing to verify the fair values of the securities. AEP receives audit reports of the trustee’s operating controls and valuation processes. The trustee uses multiple pricing vendors for the assets held in the trusts.

Assets in the nuclear trusts and Other Cash Deposits are classified using the following methods. Equities are classified as Level 1 holdings if they are actively traded on exchanges. Items classified as Level 1 are investments in money market funds, fixed income and equity mutual funds and domestic equities. They are valued based on observable inputs primarily unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Fixed income securities do not trade on an exchange and do not have an official closing price. Pricing vendors calculate bond valuations using financial models and matrices. Fixed income securities are typically classified as Level 2 holdings because their valuation inputs are based on observable market data. Observable inputs used for valuing fixed income securities are benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and economic events. Other securities with model-derived valuation inputs that are observable are also classified as Level 2 investments. Investments with unobservable valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 investments.

Items classified as Level 2 are primarily investments in individual fixed income securities. These fixed income securities are valued using models with input data as follows:

		Type of Fixed Income Security
		United States		State and Local
Type of Input		Government	Corporate Debt	Government

Benchmark Yields		X	X	X
Broker Quotes		X	X	X
Discount Margins		X	X

Fair Value Measurements of Trust Assets for Decommissioning and SNF Disposal

Nuclear decommissioning and spent nuclear fuel trust funds represent funds that regulatory commissions allow I&M to collect through rates to fund future decommissioning and spent nuclear fuel disposal liabilities. By rules or orders, the IURC, the MPSC and the FERC established investment limitations and general risk management guidelines. In general, limitations include:

·	Acceptable investments (rated investment grade or above when purchased).

·	Maximum percentage invested in a specific type of investment.

·	Prohibition of investment in obligations of AEP or its affiliates.

·	Withdrawals permitted only for payment of decommissioning costs and trust expenses.

I&M maintains trust records for each regulatory jurisdiction. These funds are managed by external investment managers who must comply with the guidelines and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. The trust assets are invested to optimize the net of tax earnings of the trust giving consideration to liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

I&M records securities held in trust funds for decommissioning nuclear facilities and for the disposal of SNF at fair value. I&M classifies securities in the trust funds as available-for-sale due to their long-term purpose. Other-than-temporary impairments for investments in both debt and equity securities are considered realized losses as a result of securities being managed by an external investment management firm. The external investment management firm makes specific investment decisions regarding the equity and debt investments held in these trusts and generally intends to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position as part of a tax optimization strategy. Impairments reduce the cost basis of the securities which will affect any future unrealized gain or realized gain or loss due to the adjusted cost of investment. I&M records unrealized gains and other-than-temporary impairments from securities in these trust funds as adjustments to the regulatory liability account for the nuclear decommissioning trust funds and to regulatory assets or liabilities for the SNF disposal trust funds in accordance with their treatment in rates. Consequently, changes in fair value of trust assets do not affect earnings or AOCI. The trust assets are recorded by jurisdiction and may not be used for another jurisdiction’s liabilities. Regulatory approval is required to withdraw decommissioning funds.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Registrant Subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As required by the accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There have not been any significant changes in management’s valuation techniques.

10. INCOME TAXES

The Registrant Subsidiaries join in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with their affiliates in the AEP System. The allocation of the AEP System’s current consolidated federal income tax to the AEP System companies allocates the benefit of current tax losses to the AEP System companies giving rise to such losses in determining their current tax expense. The tax benefit of the Parent is allocated to its subsidiaries with taxable income. With the exception of the loss of the Parent, the method of allocation reflects a separate return result for each company in the consolidated group.

The Registrant Subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal examination for years before 2001. The Registrant Subsidiaries have completed the exam for the years 2001 through 2006 and have issues that are being pursued at the appeals level. In April 2011, the IRS’s examination of the years 2007 and 2008 was concluded with a settlement of all outstanding issues. The settlement will not have a material impact on net income, cash flows or financial condition. Although the outcome of tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion, adequate provisions for federal income taxes have been made for potential liabilities resulting from such matters. In addition, the Registrant Subsidiaries accrue interest on these uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any issues for open tax years that upon final resolution are expected to have a material adverse effect on net income.

The Registrant Subsidiaries file income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. These taxing authorities routinely examine their tax returns and the Registrant Subsidiaries are currently under examination in several state and local jurisdictions. Management believes that previously filed tax returns have positions that may be challenged by these tax authorities. However, management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities resulting from such challenges and that the ultimate resolution of these audits will not materially impact net income. With few exceptions, the Registrant Subsidiaries are no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.

220

Federal Tax Legislation

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the related Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (Health Care Acts) were enacted in March 2010. The Health Care Acts amend tax rules so that the portion of employer health care costs that are reimbursed by the Medicare Part D prescription drug subsidy will no longer be deductible by the employer for federal income tax purposes effective for years beginning after December 31, 2012. Because of the loss of the future tax deduction, a reduction in the deferred tax asset related to the nondeductible OPEB liabilities accrued to date was recorded by the Registrant Subsidiaries in March 2010. This reduction did not materially affect the Registrant Subsidiaries' cash flows or financial condition. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Registrant Subsidiaries reflected a decrease in deferred tax assets, which was partially offset by recording net tax regulatory assets in jurisdictions with regulated operations, resulting in a decrease in net income as follows:

Dividend Restrictions

The Registrant Subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

Federal Power Act

The Federal Power Act prohibits each of the Registrant Subsidiaries from participating “in the making or paying of any dividends of such public utility from any funds properly included in capital account.” The term “capital account” is not defined in the Federal Power Act or its regulations. As applicable, the Registrant Subsidiaries understand “capital account” to mean the par value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.

Additionally, the Federal Power Act creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generating plants. Because of their respective ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to APCo, I&M and OPCo.

None of these restrictions limit the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

Charter and Leverage Restrictions

Provisions within the articles or certificates of incorporation of the Registrant Subsidiaries relating to preferred stock or shares restrict the payment of cash dividends on common and preferred stock or shares.

Utility Money Pool – AEP System

The AEP System uses a corporate borrowing program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of its subsidiaries. The corporate borrowing program includes a Utility Money Pool, which funds the utility subsidiaries. The AEP System Utility Money Pool operates in accordance with the terms and conditions approved in a regulatory order. The amount of outstanding loans (borrowings) to/from the Utility Money Pool as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is included in Advances to/from Affiliates on each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ balance sheets. The Utility Money Pool participants’ money pool activity and their corresponding authorized borrowing limits for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are described in the following table:

									Loans

Sale of Receivables – AEP Credit

Under a sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit’s financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary’s receivables. APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable. The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ income statements. The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable sold.

The amount of accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenues under the sale of receivables agreement for each Registrant Subsidiary as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:

12. COST REDUCTION INITIATIVES

In April 2010, management began initiatives to decrease both labor and non-labor expenses with a goal of achieving significant reductions in operation and maintenance expenses. A total of 2,461 positions was eliminated across the AEP System as a result of process improvements, streamlined organizational designs and other efficiencies. Most of the affected employees terminated employment May 31, 2010. The severance program provided two weeks of base pay for every year of service along with other severance benefits.

Management recorded a charge to Other Operation expense during the second quarter of 2010 primarily related to severance benefits as the result of headcount reduction initiatives. The total amount incurred in 2010 by Registrant Subsidiary was as follows:

Company	Total Cost Incurred
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	56,925
CSPCo		32,292
I&M		45,036
OPCo		53,108

COMBINED MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF REGISTRANT SUBSIDIARIES

The following is a combined presentation of certain components of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ management’s discussion and analysis. The information in this section completes the information necessary for management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and net income and is meant to be read with (a) Management’s Discussion and Analysis, (b) financial statements, (c) footnotes and (d) the schedules of each individual registrant. The Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries section of the 2010 Annual Report should also be read in conjunction with this report.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Registrant Subsidiaries are implementing a substantial capital investment program and incurring additional operational costs to comply with new environmental control requirements. The Registrant Subsidiaries will need to make additional investments and operational changes in response to existing and anticipated requirements such as CAA requirements to reduce emissions of SO 2 , NO x , PM and hazardous air pollutants from fossil fuel-fired power plants, new proposals governing the beneficial use and disposal of coal combustion products and proposed clean water rules.

The Registrant Subsidiaries are engaged in litigation about environmental issues, have been notified of potential responsibility for the clean-up of contaminated sites and incur costs for disposal of SNF and future decommissioning of I&M’s nuclear units. Management is also involved in development of possible future requirements including the items discussed below and reductions of CO 2 emissions to address concerns about global climate change. See a complete discussion of these matters in the “Environmental Issues” section of “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries” in the 2010 Annual Report. Management will seek recovery of expenditures for pollution control technologies and associated costs from customers through rates in regulated jurisdictions. The Registrant Subsidiaries should be able to recover these expenditures through market prices in deregulated jurisdictions. If not, the costs of environmental compliance could adversely affect future net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition.

Update to Environmental Controls Impact on the Generating Fleet

The rules and proposed environmental controls discussed in the next several sections will have a material impact on the generating units in the AEP System. Management continues to evaluate the impact of these rules, project scope and technology available to achieve compliance. As of June 30, 2011, the AEP System had a total generating capacity of nearly 38,000 MWs, of which 23,900 MWs are coal-fired. In the second quarter of 2011, management refined the cost estimates of complying with these rules and other impacts of the environmental proposals on the coal-fired generating facilities. For the Registrant Subsidiaries, management’s current ranges of estimates of environmental investments to comply with these proposed requirements, based upon the updates are listed below:

	2012 to 2020
	Estimated Environmental Investment
Company	Low		High
	(in millions)
APCo	$	580	$	765
CSPCo		552		736
I&M		660		885
OPCo		1,549		2,065
PSO		700		940
SWEPCo		900		1,200

For APCo, the projected environmental investments above include both the conversion of 470 MWs of coal generation to 422 MWs of natural gas generation and the building of 580 MWs of natural gas-fired generation. For OPCo, the investments above include the conversion of 600 MWs of coal generation to 510 MWs of natural gas-fired generation.

227

The cost estimates will change depending on the timing of implementation and whether the Federal EPA provides flexibility in the final rules. The cost estimates for each Registrant Subsidiary will also change based on: (a) the states’ implementation of these regulatory programs, including the potential for state implementation plans or federal implementation plans that impose standards more stringent than the proposed rules, (b) additional rulemaking activities in response to court decisions, (c) the actual performance of the pollution control technologies installed on the units, (d) changes in costs for new pollution controls, (e) new generating technology developments, (f) total MWs of capacity retired and replaced, including the type and amount of such replacement capacity and (g) other factors.

Subject to the factors listed above and based upon management’s current evaluation, the Registrant Subsidiaries may retire the following plants or units of plants before 2015:

		Generating
Company	Plant Name and Unit	Capacity
		(in MWs)
APCo	Clinch River Plant, Unit 3		235
APCo	Glen Lyn Plant		335
APCo	Kanawha River Plant		400
APCo/OPCo	Philip Sporn Plant		1,050
CSPCo	Conesville Plant, Unit 3		165
CSPCo	Picway Plant		100
I&M	Tanners Creek Plant, Units 1-3		495
OPCo	Kammer Plant		630
OPCo	Muskingum River Plant, Units 1-4		840
SWEPCo	Welsh Plant, Unit 2		528

Duke Energy Corporation, the operator of W. C. Beckjord Generating Station, has announced its intent to close the facility in 2015. CSPCo owns 12.5% (54 MWs) of one unit at that station.

Management is also considering the conversion of some of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ coal units to natural gas, installing emission control equipment on other units and completing construction of the Turk and Dresden Plants. Recovery of the remaining investments in facilities that may be closed will be subject to regulatory approval.

Cross State Air Pollution Rule (formerly the Clean Air Act Transport Rule)

In July 2010, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule to replace the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) that would impose new and more stringent requirements to control SO 2 and NO x emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Each state covered by the proposed Clean Air Act Transport Rule (Transport Rule) was assigned an allowance budget for SO 2 and/or NO x . Limited interstate trading was allowed on a sub-regional basis and intrastate trading was allowed among generating units. PSO’s and SWEPCo’s western states (Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas) would be subject to only the seasonal NO x program, with new limits that were proposed to take effect in 2012. The remainder of the states in which the AEP System operates would be subject to seasonal and annual NO x programs and an annual SO 2 emissions reduction program that takes effect in two phases. The first phase was effective in 2012 and more stringent SO 2 emission reductions were proposed to take effect in 2014 in certain states. The SO 2 and NO x programs rely on newly-created allowances rather than relying on the CAIR NO x allowances or the Title IV Acid Rain Program allowances used in CAIR.

228

The time frames and stringency of the required emission reductions, coupled with the lack of robust interstate trading and the elimination of historic allowance banks, pose significant concerns for the AEP System and its electric utility customers. The compliance plan described above was based on the requirements of the proposed Transport Rule. The more stringent requirements included in the final CSAP Rule could accelerate unit retirements, increase capital requirements, constrain operations, decrease reliability and unfavorably impact financial condition if the increased costs are not recovered in rates or market prices.

Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Regulation

The Federal EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) in 2005, setting mercury emission standards for new coal-fired power plants and requiring all states to issue new state implementation plans including mercury requirements for existing coal-fired power plants. The CAMR was vacated by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2008. In response, the Federal EPA has been developing a rule addressing a broad range of HAPs from coal and oil-fired power plants. The Federal EPA Administrator signed a proposed HAPs rule in March 2011, but the rule has not yet been published in the Federal Register. The rule establishes unit-specific emission rates for mercury, PM (as a surrogate for particles of nonmercury metal) and hydrochloric acid (as a surrogate for acid gases) for units burning coal and oil, on a site-wide 30-day rolling average basis. In addition, the rule proposes work practice standards, such as boiler tune-ups, for controlling emissions of organic HAPs and dioxin/furans. Compliance is required within three years of the effective date of the final rule, which is expected by November 2011 per the Federal EPA’s settlement agreement with several environmental groups. A one-year extension may be available if the extension is necessary for the installation of controls. Management is developing comments to submit to the Federal EPA and collecting additional information regarding the performance of the coal-fired units. Comments will be accepted for 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.

Management will urge the Federal EPA to carefully consider all of the options available so that costly and inefficient control requirements are not imposed regardless of unit size, age or other operating characteristics. The AEP System has older coal units for which it may be economically inefficient to install scrubbers or other environmental controls. Several of these units are included in the current list of potential plant closures discussed above.

Coal Combustion Residual Rule

In June 2010, the Federal EPA published a proposed rule to regulate the disposal and beneficial re-use of coal combustion residuals, including fly ash and bottom ash generated at the coal-fired electric generating units. The rule contains two alternative proposals, one that would impose federal hazardous waste disposal and management standards on these materials and one that would allow states to retain primary authority to regulate the beneficial re-use and disposal of these materials under state solid waste management standards, including minimum federal standards for disposal and management. Both proposals would impose stringent requirements for the construction of new coal ash landfills and would require existing unlined surface impoundments to upgrade to the new standards or stop receiving coal ash and initiate closure within five years of the issuance of a final rule.

229

Currently, approximately 40% of the coal ash and other residual products from the AEP System’s generating facilities are re-used in the production of cement and wallboard, as structural fill or soil amendments, as abrasives or road treatment materials and for other beneficial uses. Certain of these uses would no longer be available and others are likely to significantly decline if coal ash and related materials are classified as hazardous wastes. In addition, surface impoundments and landfills to manage these materials are currently used at the generating facilities. The Registrant Subsidiaries will incur significant costs to upgrade or close and replace their existing facilities. Management estimates that the potential compliance costs associated with the proposed solid waste management alternative could be as high as $3.9 billion including AFUDC for units across the AEP System. Regulation of these materials as hazardous wastes would significantly increase these costs.

Clean Water Act Regulations

In April 2011, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule setting forth standards for existing power plants that will reduce mortality of aquatic organisms pinned against a plant’s cooling water intake screen (impingement) or entrained in the cooling water. Entrainment is when small fish, eggs or larvae are drawn into the cooling water system and affected by heat, chemicals or physical stress. The proposed standards affect all plants withdrawing more than two million gallons of cooling water per day and establish specific intake design and intake velocity standards meant to allow fish to avoid or escape impingement. Compliance with this standard is required within eight years of the effective date of the final rule. The proposed standard for entrainment for existing facilities requires a site-specific evaluation of the available measures for reducing entrainment. The proposed entrainment standard for new units at existing facilities requires either intake flows commensurate with closed cycle cooling or achieving entrainment reductions equivalent to 90% or greater of the reductions that could be achieved with closed cycle cooling. Plants withdrawing more than 125 million gallons of cooling water per day must submit a detailed technology study to be reviewed by the state permitting authority. Management is evaluating the proposal and engaged in the collection of additional information regarding the feasibility of implementing this proposal at the AEP System’s facilities. Comments on the proposal were due in July 2011.

Global Warming

While comprehensive economy-wide regulation of CO 2 emissions might be achieved through new legislation, Congress has yet to enact such legislation. The Federal EPA continues to take action to regulate CO 2 emissions under the existing requirements of the CAA. The Federal EPA issued a final endangerment finding for CO 2 emissions from new motor vehicles in December 2009 and final rules for new motor vehicles in May 2010. The Federal EPA determined that CO 2 emissions from stationary sources will be subject to regulation under the CAA and finalized its proposed scheme to streamline and phase-in regulation of stationary source CO 2 emissions through the NSR prevention of significant deterioration and Title V operating permit programs through the issuance of final federal rules, state implementation plan calls and federal implementation plans. The Federal EPA is reconsidering whether to include CO 2 emissions in a number of stationary source standards, including standards that apply to new and modified electric utility units and announced a settlement agreement to issue proposed new source performance standards for utility boilers that would be applicable for both new and existing utility boilers. It is not possible at this time to estimate the costs of compliance with these new standards, but they may be material.

The Registrant Subsidiaries’ fossil fuel-fired generating units are very large sources of CO 2 emissions. If substantial CO 2 emission reductions are required, there will be significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs which would impact the ultimate retirement of older, less-efficient, coal-fired units. To the extent the Registrant Subsidiaries install additional controls on their generating plants to limit CO 2 emissions and receive regulatory approvals to increase rates, cost recovery could have a positive effect on future earnings. Prudently incurred capital investments made by the Registrant Subsidiaries in rate-regulated jurisdictions to comply with legal requirements and benefit customers are generally included in rate base for recovery and earn a return on investment. Management would expect these principles to apply to investments made to address new environmental requirements. However, requests for rate increases reflecting these costs can affect the Registrant Subsidiaries adversely because the regulators could limit the amount or timing of increased costs that would be recoverable through higher rates. In addition, to the extent the Registrant Subsidiaries’ costs are relatively higher than their competitors’ costs, such as operators of nuclear generation, it could reduce off-system sales or cause the Registrant Subsidiaries to lose customers in jurisdictions that permit customers to choose their supplier of generation service.

230

Several states have adopted programs that directly regulate CO 2 emissions from power plants, but none of these programs are currently in effect in states where the Registrant Subsidiaries have generating facilities. Certain states, including Ohio, Michigan, Texas and Virginia, passed legislation establishing renewable energy, alternative energy and/or energy efficiency requirements. Management is taking steps to comply with these requirements.

Certain groups have filed lawsuits alleging that emissions of CO 2 are a “public nuisance” and seeking injunctive relief and/or damages from small groups of coal-fired electricity generators, petroleum refiners and marketers, coal companies and others. The Registrant Subsidiaries have been named in pending lawsuits, which management is vigorously defending. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on operations or financial condition. See “Carbon Dioxide Public Nuisance Claims” and “Alaskan Villages’ Claims” sections of Note 4.

Future federal and state legislation or regulations that mandate limits on the emission of CO 2 would result in significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, which, in turn, could lead to increased liquidity needs and higher financing costs. Excessive costs to comply with future legislation or regulations might force the Registrant Subsidiaries to close some coal-fired facilities and could lead to possible impairment of assets. As a result, mandatory limits could have a material adverse impact on net income, cash flows and financial condition.

For detailed information on global warming and the actions the AEP System is taking to address potential impacts, see Part I of the 2010 Form 10-K under the headings entitled “Business – General – Environmental and Other Matters – Global Warming and “Combined Management Discussion and Analysis of Registrant Subsidiaries.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Funding

Short-term funding for the Registrant Subsidiaries comes from AEP’s commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities through the Utility Money Pool. AEP and its Registrant Subsidiaries operate a money pool to minimize the AEP System’s external short-term funding requirements and sell accounts receivable to provide liquidity. Under credit facilities, $1.35 billion may be issued as letters of credit (LOC). The Registrant Subsidiaries generally use short-term funding sources (the Utility Money Pool or receivables sales) to provide for interim financing of capital expenditures that exceed internally generated funds and periodically reduce their outstanding short-term debt through issuances of long-term debt, sale-leasebacks, leasing arrangements and additional capital contributions from Parent.

In March 2011, the Registrant Subsidiaries and certain other companies in the AEP System terminated a $478 million credit facility, used for letters of credit to support variable rate debt, that was scheduled to mature in April 2011. In March 2011, APCo, I&M and OPCo issued bilateral letters of credit to support the remarketing of $230 million, $77 million and $50 million, respectively, of their variable rate debt. OPCo reacquired $115 million which is held by a trustee on its behalf.

Dividend Restrictions

Under the Federal Power Act, the Registrant Subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends out of stated capital. Various charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

Sales of Receivables

In July 2011, AEP Credit renewed its receivables securitization agreement. The agreement provides a commitment of $750 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables with an increase to $800 million for the months of July, August and September to accommodate seasonal demand. A commitment of $375 million with the seasonal increase to $425 million for the months of July, August and September expires in June 2012 and the remaining commitment of $375 million expires in June 2014. AEP Credit purchases accounts receivable from the Registrant Subsidiaries.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Pronouncements Effective in the Future

The FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” eliminating the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. The standard requires other comprehensive income be presented as part of a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in a statement of other comprehensive income immediately following the statement of net income. This standard will change the presentation of the financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income or comprehensive income. The Registrant Subsidiaries will retrospectively adopt ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.

Future Accounting Changes

The FASB’s standard-setting process is ongoing and until new standards have been finalized and issued, management cannot determine the impact on the reporting of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations and financial position that may result from any such future changes. The FASB is currently working on several projects including revenue recognition, financial statements, contingencies, financial instruments, emission allowances, leases, insurance, hedge accounting, consolidation policy and discontinued operations. Management also expects to see more FASB projects as a result of its desire to converge International Accounting Standards with GAAP. The ultimate pronouncements resulting from these and future projects could have an impact on future net income and financial position.

(a)	Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 inputs primarily consist of exchange traded contracts that exhibit sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
(b)	Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, exchange traded contracts where there was not sufficient market activity to warrant inclusion in Level 1 and OTC broker quotes that are corroborated by the same or similar transactions that have occurred in the market.
(c)	Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that the observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of unobservable market data or are valued based on models and/or assumptions.
(d)	Dedesignated Risk Management Contracts are contracts that were originally MTM but were subsequently elected as normal under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” At the time of the normal election, the MTM value was frozen and no longer fair valued. This will be amortized into Revenues over the remaining life of the contracts.

Credit Risk

Counterparty credit quality and exposure of the Registrant Subsidiaries is generally consistent with that of AEP.

Value at Risk (VaR) Associated with Risk Management Contracts

Management uses a risk measurement model, which calculates VaR to measure commodity price risk in the risk management portfolio. The VaR is based on the variance-covariance method using historical prices to estimate volatilities and correlations and assumes a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period. Based on this VaR analysis, at June 30, 2011, a near term typical change in commodity prices is not expected to have a material effect on net income, cash flows or financial condition.

The following table shows the end, high, average and low market risk as measured by VaR for the trading portfolio for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended									Twelve Months Ended
	June 30, 2011									December 31, 2010
Company		End		High		Average		Low		End		High		Average		Low
	(in thousands)									(in thousands)
APCo		$	109	$	553	$	147	$	66	$	124	$	659	$	193	$	71
OPCo			84		423		128		53		100		545		161		54
PSO			6		39		15		4		3		70		15		1
SWEPCo			6		46		19		4		6		93		21		2

Management back-tests its VaR results against performance due to actual price movements. Based on the assumed 95% confidence interval, the performance due to actual price movements would be expected to exceed the VaR at least once every 20 trading days.

As the VaR calculations capture recent price movements, management also performs regular stress testing of the portfolio to understand the exposure to extreme price movements. Management employs a historical-based method whereby the current portfolio is subjected to actual, observed price movements from the last four years in order to ascertain which historical price movements translated into the largest potential MTM loss. Management then researches the underlying positions, price movements and market events that created the most significant exposure and reports the findings to the Risk Executive Committee or the Commercial Operations Risk Committee as appropriate.

236

Interest Rate Risk

Management utilizes an Earnings at Risk (EaR) model to measure interest rate market risk exposure. EaR statistically quantifies the extent to which interest expense could vary over the next twelve months and gives a probabilistic estimate of different levels of interest expense. The resulting EaR is interpreted as the dollar amount by which actual interest expense for the next twelve months could exceed expected interest expense with a one-in-twenty chance of occurrence. The primary drivers of EaR are from the existing floating rate debt (including short-term debt) as well as long-term debt issuances in the next twelve months. As calculated on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ outstanding debt as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated EaR on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ debt portfolio was as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
Company	2011		2010
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	6,944	$	1,165
CSPCo		279		178
I&M		2,514		274
OPCo		9,597		926
PSO		66		658
SWEPCo		2,062		1,027

237

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the second quarter of 2011, management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of AEP, APCo, CSPCo, I&M, OPCo, PSO and SWEPCo (collectively, the Registrants), evaluated the Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures of the Registrants that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrants in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrants in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Registrants’ management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2011, these officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures in place are effective and provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures accomplished their objectives. The Registrants continually strive to improve their disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of their financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as events warrant.

There was no change in the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting.

For a discussion of material legal proceedings, see “Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies,” of Note 4 incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a detailed discussion of risk factors. The information presented below amends and restates in their entirety certain of those risk factors that have been updated and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATING TO REGULATED OPERATIONS

All of the investment in and expenses related to the Turk Plant may not be fully recovered. – Affecting AEP and SWEPCo

SWEPCo is in the process of building the John W. Turk Plant (Turk Plant) in southwest Arkansas and holds a 73% ownership interest in the planned 600 MW coal-fired generating facility. Its construction and anticipated operation have resulted in numerous legal challenges and uncertainties, including:

·	The validity of the air permit issued by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality in connection with the operation of the Turk Plant.

A preliminary injunction issued by the Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, and upheld by the Eighth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, enjoining SWEPCo from completing work authorized by the permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Department of Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The preliminary injunction also raises other alleged violations of various federal and state laws.

·	Whether SWEPCo is required to obtain APSC approval to construct the Turk Plant without pursuing authority to seek recovery of the originally approved 88 MW portion of Turk Plant costs in Arkansas retail rates.

·	The validity of PUCT approval of the Texas jurisdictional cost recovery and uncertainty regarding the caps on recovery included in the approval.

If SWEPCo is unable to complete the Turk Plant construction and place the Turk Plant in service or if SWEPCo cannot recover all of its investment in and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it would materially reduce future net income and cash flows and materially impact financial condition.

Rate recovery approved in Ohio may be overturned on appeal, may not provide full recovery of costs and/or may have to be returned. – Affecting AEP, CSPCo and OPCo

The PUCO issued an order in March 2009 that modified and approved the Electric Security Plans (ESPs) of CSPCo and OPCo. The ESPs established rates in effect through 2011. The ESP order generally authorized rate increases during the ESP period, subject to caps that limit the rate increases, and also provides a fuel adjustment clause for the three-year period of the ESPs. The recovery includes deferrals associated with the Ormet interim arrangement and is subject to the PUCO’s ultimate decision regarding the Ormet interim arrangement deferrals plus related carrying charges. If the PUCO and/or the Supreme Court of Ohio reverses all or part of the rate recovery or if deferred fuel costs are not fully recovered for other reasons, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. In April 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an opinion addressing the aspects of the PUCO's 2009 decision that were challenged which resulted in three reversals, only two of which may have a prospective impact through a remand proceeding. Pursuant to a May 2011 PUCO order, CSPCo and OPCo implemented rates subject to refund and filed remand testimony in June 2011. In June 2011, the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel and the IEU filed testimony recommending a complete denial of collection of any POLR charges and carrying charges on certain environmental investments collected from 2009 through 2011. Hearings were held in July 2011.

239

Request for rate and other recovery in Ohio for distribution service may not be approved in its entirety. – Affecting AEP, CSPCo and OPCo

In February 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed with the PUCO for annual increases in distribution rates to be effective January 2012. In addition to the annual increase, CSPCo and OPCo requested recovery of the projected December 31, 2012 balance of certain distribution regulatory assets, including unrecognized equity carrying costs. These assets would be recovered in a distribution asset recovery rider over seven years with additional carrying costs, beginning January 2013. If the PUCO denies all or part of the requested rate and other recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Request for rate recovery in Ohio for generation service may not be approved in its entirety. – Affecting AEP, CSPCo and OPCo

In January 2011, CSPCo and OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve a new ESP that includes a standard service offer pricing for generation effective with the first billing cycle of January 2012 through the last billing cycle of May 2014. If the PUCO denies all or part of the requested rate recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows. The April 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio referenced above in connection with the 2009-2011 ESPs could impact the outcome of the January 2012-May 2014 ESP, though the nature and extent of that impact is not presently known.

Request for rate and other recovery in Virginia for generation and distribution service may not be approved in its entirety. – Affecting AEP and APCo

In March 2011, APCo filed a generation and distribution base rate request with the Virginia SCC to increase annual base rates to be effective no later than February 2012. APCo proposed to mitigate a portion of the requested base rate increase by maintaining current depreciation rates until the next biennial filing. In addition, APCo filed for approval of rate adjustment clauses for various costs including environmental and renewable energy and generation costs relating to the partially completed Dresden Plant. If the Virginia SCC denies all or part of the requested rate and other recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows.

Request for rate recovery in Michigan may not be approved in its entirety. – Affecting AEP and I&M

In July 2011, I&M filed a request with the MPSC for annual increases in Michigan base rates. The request includes an increase in depreciation rates that would result in an increase in depreciation expense. If the MPSC denies all or part of the requested rate recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows.

RISKS RELATING TO OWNING AND OPERATING GENERATION ASSETS AND SELLING POWER

Courts adjudicating nuisance and other similar claims against us may order us to limit or reduce our CO 2 emissions. (Applies to each registrant)

In 2004, eight states and the City of New York filed an action in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEP, Cinergy Corp, Xcel Energy, Southern Company and Tennessee Valley Authority. The Natural Resources Defense Council, on behalf of three special interest groups, filed a similar complaint against the same defendants. The actions allege that CO 2 emissions from the defendants’ power plants constitute a public nuisance under federal common law due to impacts of global warming, and sought injunctive relief in the form of specific emission reduction commitments from the defendants. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated this lawsuit on appeal after the lower court had dismissed it. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, finding that any federal common law nuisance claim has been displaced by the provisions of the Clean Air Act that authorize Federal EPA to regulate CO 2 emissions. The Supreme Court remanded the case for consideration of plaintiffs' state law nuisance claims.

The lower courts may dismiss the state law nuisance claims without prejudice to refiling in state court. If the court finds a basis to retain jurisdiction over those claims, it could order the defendants, including us, to limit or reduce CO 2 emissions. This or similar remedies could require us to purchase power from third parties to fulfill our commitments to supply power to our customers. This could have a material impact on our costs. While management believes such costs should be recoverable from customers as costs of doing business, without such recovery those costs could reduce our future net income and cash flows and harm our financial condition.

240

Other pending cases seek damages based on allegations of federal and state common law nuisance. If these or other future actions are resolved against us, substantial modifications of our existing coal-fired power plants could be required. In addition, we could be required to invest significantly in additional emission control equipment, accelerate the timing of capital expenditures, pay damages or penalties and/or halt operations. Moreover, our results of operations and financial position could be reduced due to the timing of recovery of these investments and the expense of ongoing litigation.

Our costs of compliance with existing environmental laws are significant. (Applies to each registrant.)

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, waste management, natural resources and health and safety. Approximately 90% of the electricity generated by the AEP System is produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Emissions of nitrogen and sulfur oxides, mercury and particulates from fossil fueled generating plants are expected to be subject to increased regulations, controls and mitigation expenses. Compliance with these legal requirements requires us to commit significant capital toward environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, emission fees and permits at all of our facilities and could cause us to retire generating capacity prior to the end of its estimated useful life. These expenditures have been significant in the past and we expect that they will continue to be significant in order to comply with the current and proposed regulations. Costs of compliance with environmental regulations could adversely affect our net income and financial position, especially if emission and/or discharge limits are tightened, more extensive permitting requirements are imposed, additional substances become regulated and the number and types of assets we operate increase. If we retire generating plants prior to the end of their estimated useful life, there can be no assurance that we will recover the remaining costs associated with such plants. While we expect to recover our expenditures for pollution control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs from customers through regulated rates (in regulated jurisdictions) or market prices, without such recovery those costs could reduce our future net income and cash flows, and possibly harm our financial condition.

RISKS RELATING TO MARKET ECONOMICS OR FINANCIAL VOLATILITY AND OTHER RISKS

Our financial performance may be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully operate our facilities or perform certain corporate functions. (Applies to each registrant.)

Our performance is highly dependent on the successful operation of our generation, transmission and distribution facilities. Operating these facilities involves many risks, including:

·	Operator error and breakdown or failure of equipment or processes.

·	Operating limitations that may be imposed by environmental or other regulatory requirements.

·	Labor disputes.

·	Compliance with mandatory reliability standards, including mandatory cyber security standards.

·	Information technology failure.

·	Cyber intrusion.

·	Fuel supply interruptions caused by transportation constraints, adverse weather, non-performance by our suppliers and other factors.

·	Catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, hurricanes, terrorism, floods or other similar occurrences.

A decrease or elimination of revenues from our electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities or an increase in the cost of operating the facilities would adversely affect our results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO STATE RESTRUCTURING

Customers have recently begun to select alternative electric generation service providers, as allowed by Ohio legislation. – Affecting AEP, CSPCo and OPCo

Under current Ohio legislation, electric generation is sold in a competitive market in Ohio, and native load customers in Ohio have the ability to switch to alternative suppliers for their electric generation service. Competitive power suppliers are targeting retail customers by offering alternative generation service. A growing number of commercial retail customers (primarily CSPCo’s) have switched to alternative generation providers while additional Ohio customers have provided notice of their intent to switch. Although to date OPCo’s losses have not been significant, OPCo could experience additional customer switching in the future. These evolving market conditions will continue to impact CSPCo's and OPCo’s results of operations.
