Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

General

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

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

The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the Form 10-K). Information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K referred to in these notes is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into these notes the information to which reference is made.

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

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiaries, provides electric service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and gas service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania. Con Edison has the following competitive energy businesses: Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a retail energy services company that sells electricity and also offers energy-related services; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a wholesale energy supply and services company; and Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops and participates in infrastructure projects.

Note A — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenues

Reference is made to “Revenues” in Note A to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. The Utilities and Con Edison Solutions recognize revenues for energy service on a monthly billing cycle basis. The Utilities defer over a 12-month period net interruptible gas revenues, other than those authorized by the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) to be retained by the Utilities, for refund to firm gas sales and transportation customers. The Utilities and Con Edison Solutions accrue revenues at the end of each month for estimated energy service not yet billed to customers. Prior to March 31, 2009, CECONY did not accrue revenues for energy service provided but not yet billed to customers except for certain unbilled gas revenues accrued in 1989. This change in accounting for unbilled revenues had no effect on net income. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” in Note B to the

17


Table of Contents

financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. Unbilled revenues included in Con Edison’s balance sheet at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $422 million (including $285 million for CECONY) and $579 million (including $413 million for CECONY), respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share

Reference is made to “Earnings Per Common Share” in Note A to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, Con Edison’s basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

Note B—Regulatory Matters

Reference is made to “Accounting Policies” in Note A and “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Rate Agreements

CECONY — Electric

In March 2010, the NYSPSC issued an order approving the November 2009 Joint Proposal covering the rates CECONY can charge its customers for electric delivery service during the three-year period April 2010 through March 2013. Among other things, this Joint Proposal provides for electric base rate increases of $420 million, effective April 2010 and 2011, and $287 million, effective April 2012, with an additional $133 million to be collected through a surcharge in the rate year ending March 2013. Also, on March 26, 2010, the NYSPSC issued an order approving the February 2010 Joint Proposal relating to the NYSPSC’s review of CECONY’s capital expenditures during the April 2005 through March 2008 period covered by CECONY’s 2005 electric rate agreement. The NYSPSC modified this Joint Proposal to provide a $36 million credit to customer bills in 2010 instead of providing this amount to customers over the next three years. For additional information about the November 2009 and February 2010 Joint Proposals, see Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

O&R — Electric

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

CECONY — Gas and Steam

In April 2010, CECONY, the NYSPSC staff and certain other parties reached agreements in principle with respect to CECONY’s November 2009 requests to the NYSPSC for increases in the rates the company can charge its customers for gas delivery service and steam service. The terms of the agreements in principle, pursuant to applicable requirements, remain confidential until Joint Proposals regarding the requests

18


Table of Contents

are entered into by CECONY, the NYSPSC staff and other parties, if any, and filed with the NYSPSC for approval (which filings are expected to occur in May 2010).

Other Regulatory Matters

In February 2009, the NYSPSC commenced a proceeding to examine the prudence of certain CECONY expenditures (see “Investigation of Contractor Payments” in Note H). Pursuant to NYSPSC orders, a portion of the company’s revenues (effective April 2010, $249 million, $32 million and $6 million on an annual basis for electric, gas and steam service, respectively) is being collected subject to potential refund to customers. At March 31, 2010, the company had collected an estimated $322 million from customers subject to potential refund in connection with this proceeding. The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, of any such refund and, accordingly, has not established a regulatory liability for a refund.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Regulatory assets and liabilities at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were comprised of the following items:

Reference is made to Note D to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

At March 31, 2010, Con Edison had $475 million of commercial paper outstanding, all of which was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate was 0.3 percent. At December 31, 2009, Con Edison and CECONY had no commercial paper outstanding. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no loans were outstanding under the Companies’ Credit Agreement and $235 million (including $174 million for CECONY) and $193 million (including $135 million for CECONY) of letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement, respectively.

Expected Contributions

Based on estimates as of December 31, 2009, the Companies are not required under funding regulations and laws to make any contributions to the pension plan during 2010. The Companies’ policy is to fund their accounting cost to the extent tax deductible, therefore, Con Edison expects to make discretionary contributions in 2010 of $434 million, including $397 million for CECONY (of which CECONY contributed $112 million in the first quarter of 2010). During the first quarter of 2009, CECONY contributed $92 million to the pension plan. The Companies expect to fund $25 million for the non-qualified supplemental pension plans in 2010. The Companies are continuing to monitor changes to funding and tax laws that may impact future pension plan funding requirements.

Note F — Other Postretirement Benefits

Health Care Reform

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 became law. The Companies are assessing the impact of these laws. In March 2010, CECONY reduced its deferred tax asset to reflect the laws’ repeal, effective 2013, of the deduction for federal income tax purposes of the portion of the cost of an employer’s retiree prescription drug coverage for which the employer received a benefit under the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (see Note F to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). For CECONY, the reductions in its deferred tax asset ($33 million) had no effect on net income because a regulatory asset in a like amount on a pre-tax basis was established to reflect future recovery from customers of the increased cost of its retiree prescription drug coverage resulting from the loss of the tax deduction. The impacts on Con Edison’s deferred tax assets for its other businesses were not material to its results of operations.

Note G — Environmental Matters

Superfund Sites

Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.

The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment, and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”

For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards, and experience with similar sites.

21


Table of Contents

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

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

Accrued Liabilities:

Manufactured gas plant sites

49 48 48 47

Total

$ 246 $ 212 $ 163 $ 159

Regulatory assets

$ 421 $ 388 $ 334 $ 329

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for many of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability will be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. Under their current rate agreements, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certain site investigation and remediation costs.

Insurance recoveries related to Superfund Sites for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were immaterial. There were no insurance recoveries received related to Superfund Sites for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

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

Remediation costs incurred

$ 9 $ 16 $ 8 $ 16

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

Asbestos Proceedings

Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. In 2008, CECONY estimated that its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years is $9 million. The estimate was based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Actual experience may be materially different. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate agreements, CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims. The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Note H — Other Material Contingencies

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

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

Investigation of Contractor Payments

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

23


Table of Contents

assurance that its financial statements have been fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because the company’s investigation is ongoing, the company is unable to predict the impact of any of the employees’ unlawful conduct on the company’s internal controls, business, results of operations or financial position.

Permit Non-Compliance and Pollution Discharges

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

Also in January 2010, the NYSDEC staff indicated that the NYSDEC intends to issue a proposed consent order relating to the release of oil into the Bronx River resulting from a November 2009 transformer fire at the company’s Dunwoodie electric substation.

The company will seek to resolve these matters through negotiations with the NYSDEC. It is unable to predict the impact of these matters on the company’s operations or the amount of penalties and the additional costs, which could be substantial, to comply with the requirements resulting from these matters.

In January 2010, the NYSDEC issued a proposed administrative Order on Consent to CECONY relating to discharges of pollutants, reported by the company to the NYSDEC from 2002 through 2009, into the storm sewer system at a property the company owns in the Astoria section of New York on which the company is permitted by the NYSDEC to operate a hazardous waste storage facility. In April 2010, the NYSDEC issued an order, to which CECONY consented, pursuant to which CECONY will pay a $1.1 million penalty and undertake a corrective action plan that will require the company to incur an estimated $10 million of capital expenditures.

Lease In/Lease Out Transactions

In each of 1997 and 1999, Con Edison Development entered into a transaction in which it leased property and then immediately subleased it back to the lessor (termed “Lease In/Lease Out,” or LILO transactions). The transactions respectively involve electric generating and gas distribution facilities in the Netherlands, with a total investment of $259 million. The transactions were financed with $93 million of equity and $166 million of non-recourse, long-term debt secured by the underlying assets. In accordance with the accounting rules for leases, Con Edison is accounting for the two LILO transactions as leveraged leases. Accordingly, the company’s investment in these leases, net of non-recourse debt, is carried as a single amount in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet and income is recognized pursuant to a method that incorporates a level rate of return for those years when net investment in the lease is positive, based upon the after-tax cash flows projected at the inception of the leveraged leases. The company’s investment in these leveraged leases was $(29) million at March 31, 2010 and $(24) million at December 31, 2009 and is comprised of a $235 million gross investment less $264 million deferred tax liabilities at March 31, 2010 and $235 million gross investment less $259 million of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2009.

On audit of Con Edison’s tax return for 1997, the IRS disallowed the tax losses in connection with the 1997 LILO transaction. In December 2005, Con Edison paid a $0.3 million income tax deficiency asserted by the IRS for the tax year 1997 with respect to the 1997

Table of Contents

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

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

Con Edison believes that its LILO transactions have been correctly reported, and has not recorded any reserve with respect to the disallowance of tax losses, or related interest, in connection with its LILO transactions. Con Edison’s estimated tax savings, reflected in its financial statements, from the two LILO transactions through March 31, 2010, in the aggregate, was $209 million. If Con Edison were required to repay all or a portion of these amounts, it would also be required to pay interest of up to $65 million net of tax at March 31, 2010.

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

Guarantees

Con Edison and its subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison totaled $939 million and $929 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Note J — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

Energy Price Hedging

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

Impact of netting of cash collateral

356 162 197 87

Fair value of net derivative assets/(liabilities) – net

$ (207 ) $ (104 ) $ (130 ) $ (50 )

Credit Exposure

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps.

At March 31, 2010, Con Edison and CECONY had $220 million and $28 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $147 million with investment-grade counterparties, $72 million primarily with commodity exchange brokers or independent system operators, and $1 million with non-investment grade counterparties. CECONY’s entire net credit exposure was with commodity exchange brokers.

Economic Hedges

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

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

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2010, Con Edison had 1,477 contracts, including 726 CECONY contracts, which were considered to be derivatives under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging (excluding qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts).

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

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

The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require the Companies to provide collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the Companies’ credit ratings.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position and collateral posted at March 31, 2010, and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade were:

(a) Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post collateral, which at March 31, 2010, would have amounted to an estimated $139 million for Con Edison, including $68 million for CECONY. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.
(b) Across the Utilities’ energy derivative positions, credit limits for the same counterparties are generally integrated. At March 31, 2010, all collateral for these positions was posted by CECONY, including an estimated $46 million attributable to O&R.
(c) The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liabilities position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff.
(d) The current ratings are Moody’s, S&P and Fitch long-term credit rating of, as applicable, Con Edison (Baa1/BBB+/BBB+), CECONY (A3/A-/A-) or O&R (Baa1/A-/A). Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are expressions of opinions that are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
(e) Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At March 31, 2010, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of not more than $34 million.

Interest Rate Swaps

O&R has an interest rate swap related to its Series 1994A Debt. See Note C to the financial statement in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. O&R pays a fixed-rate of 6.09 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap at March 31, 2010 was an unrealized loss of $11 million, which has been included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet as a noncurrent liability/fair value of derivative liabilities and a regulatory asset. There was no material change in the fair value of the swap for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In the event O&R’s credit rating was downgraded to BBB- or lower by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Baa3 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, the swap counterparty could elect to terminate the agreement and, if it did so, the parties would then be required to settle the transaction.

Note K — Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2010, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” except as discussed in the following paragraph. This update requires the Companies to disclose significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The guidance also clarifies level of disaggregation and disclosure requirements about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and the meaning of a class of assets and liabilities.

In addition, the update requires the Companies to present information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). This disclosure is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. See Note P to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for how the Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy.

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

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 are summarized below.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities commissions. See Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. Unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations.

For the competitive energy businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($60 million gain and $14 million loss) and purchased power costs ($89 million loss and $1 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets held at March 31, 2010 and 2009 is included in non-utility revenues ($46 million gain and $15 million loss) and purchased power costs ($71 million loss and immaterial) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

CECONY’s purchase of energy and capacity under the agreements, as to which CECONY’s maximum exposure to the entities is limited pursuant to the agreements. For information about the agreements, see Note I to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Note M — New Financial Accounting Standards

Reference is made to Note T to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

In February 2010, the FASB issued new guidance for subsequent events through ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” The amendments in this update to the ASC alleviates potentially conflicting disclosure requirements by the SEC and FASB. The amendment defines “SEC filer” and “revised financial statements”, removes the definition for “public entity” from the glossary and eliminates requirements for SEC filers to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.

(b) Represents inter-company and parent company accounting. See “Results of Operations,” below.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared with the 2009 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans. These rate plans include an increase in the allowed electric return on common equity for CECONY. The rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases, discussed below, in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes and interest charges. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses, including net mark-to market effects.

The increases in operations and maintenance expenses reflect higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits, demand management programs and regulatory assessments in the 2010 period. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the 2010 period reflecting primarily the impact from higher utility plant balances. Interest charges were higher in the 2010 period reflecting higher amounts of outstanding long-term debt.

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

(a) Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to the gas business, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Under CECONY’s rate plans, pension and other post-retirement costs and certain other costs are reconciled to amounts reflected in rates for such costs. See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.
(b) These variations reflect after-tax net mark-to-market losses of $38 million or $(0.13) a share in the first quarter of 2010 and after-tax net mark-to-market losses of $34 million or $(0.12) a share in the first quarter of 2009.

results, cash flows and financial condition. The factors include those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their respective consolidated statement of cash flows and as discussed below. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. Changes in the Companies’ cash and temporary cash investments resulting from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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

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

Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for Con Edison and CECONY were $644 million and $614 million lower, respectively, than in the 2009 period. The decreases in net cash flows reflect the January 2010 semi-annual payment of CECONY’s New York City property taxes, without a comparable semi-annual payment in January 2009. The Company achieved a 1.5 percent reduction in its New York City property taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 by prepaying the annual tax amount in July 2008.

37


Table of Contents

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

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison were $66 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. The decrease reflects primarily decreased construction expenditures in 2010. Net cash flows used in investing activities for CECONY were $44 million higher in the 2010 period compared with the 2009 period reflecting primarily the repayment of loans by O&R to CECONY in the 2009 period, offset in part by decreased construction expenditures in the 2010 period. See Note S to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for Con Edison and CECONY were $172 million and $9 million lower, respectively, than in the 2009 period.

In March 2009, CECONY issued $275 million 5.55% 5-year debentures and $475 million 6.65% 10-year debentures.

Cash flows from financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuance (included on the consolidated balance sheets as “Notes payable”). The commercial paper amounts outstanding at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 and the average daily balances for three months ended, March 31, 2010 and 2009 for Con Edison and CECONY were as follows:

Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 also reflect the issuance of Con Edison common shares through its dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans (2010: 647,731 shares for $14 million, 2009: 532,533 shares for $6 million). In addition, as a result of the stock plan issuances, cash used to pay common stock dividends was reduced by $12 million in both periods.

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

Accrued Unbilled Revenues/Net Unbilled Revenues

The decrease in accrued unbilled revenues and the regulatory liability for net unbilled revenues reflects primarily the colder weather in December 2009 compared with March 2010.

Refundable Energy Costs

The decrease in refundable energy costs reflects primarily the timing of the recovery and changes in pricing of electric and gas commodity costs.

Deferred Derivative Losses/Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities – Current

The increase in deferred derivative losses-current and fair value of derivative liabilities-current reflects lower forward electric and gas commodity prices at March 31, 2010 compared to year-end 2009 and the maturity of certain contract positions in CECONY's hedging portfolios.

Natural Gas in Storage

The decrease in natural gas in storage is due primarily to the winter withdrawal period (November through March) and lower prices at March 31, 2010 compared with year-end 2009.

Prepayments

The increase in prepayments is due primarily to CECONY’s January 2010 payment of its New York City semi-annual property taxes, offset by three months of amortization, while the December 2009 balance is fully amortized.

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

The decreases in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and the non-current liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the underfunding of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2009 in accordance with the accounting rules for pensions. The decrease in the non-current liability for pension and retiree benefits also reflects CECONY’s first quarter 2010 contribution to the pension plan. See Notes B, E and F to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note E to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Capital Requirements and Resources

At March 31, 2010, there was no material change in the Companies’ capital requirements and resources compared to those disclosed under “Capital Requirements and Resources – Capital Requirements” and “Capital Requirement and Resources – Capital Resources” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K, other than as described below.

Electric Power Requirements

At March 31, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ electric power requirements compared to those disclosed under “Electric Operations – Electric Supply” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Regulatory Matters

At March 31, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ regulatory matters compared to those disclosed under “Utility Regulation” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K and “Rate Agreements” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K, other than as described in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and investment risk. At March 31, 2010, there were no material changes in the Companies’ financial and commodity market risks compared to those discussed under “Financial and Commodity Market Risks” in Item 7 of the Form 10-K, other than as described below and in Note J to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Risk

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

Con Edison estimates that, as of March 31, 2010, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $98 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $77 million is for CECONY and $21 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of their electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of instruments or the portfolio due to changes in market

40


Table of Contents

factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their electricity and natural gas commodity businesses using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for transactions associated with hedges on commodity contracts, assuming a one-day holding period, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, was as follows:

2010 2009
(Millions of Dollars)

95% Confidence Level, One-Day Holding Period

Average for the period

$ 1 $ 1

High

1 2

Low

Credit Risk

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements and collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff. See “Credit Exposure” in Note J to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

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

Impact of Inflation

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

Material Contingencies

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

Results of Operations

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

steam business and O&R’s other utility businesses are affected by changes in delivery volumes resulting from weather, economic conditions and other factors. See Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared with the 2009 period, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans. These rate plans include an increase in the allowed electric return on common equity for CECONY. The rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases, discussed below, in certain operations and

41


Table of Contents

maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes and interest charges. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses, including net mark-to-market effects.

The increases in operations and maintenance expenses reflect higher costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits, demand management programs and regulatory assessments in the 2010 period. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the 2010 period reflecting primarily the impact from higher utility plant balances. Interest charges were higher in the 2010 period reflecting higher amounts of outstanding long-term debt. For additional information about major factors affecting earnings, see “Results of Operations – Summary,” above.

In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers (see “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A and “Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K). Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management uses the term “net revenues” (operating revenues less such costs) to identify changes in operating revenues that may affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management believes that, although “net revenues” may not be a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the measure facilitates the analysis by management and investors of the Companies’ results of operations.

Con Edison’s principal business segments are CECONY’s regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities, O&R’s regulated electric and gas utility activities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities. A discussion of the results of operations by principal business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 follows. For additional business segment financial information, see Note I to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY’s electric operating revenues increased $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to CECONY’s electric rate plans ($180 million, which among other things, reflected a 10.0 percent return on common equity, effective April 2009, as compared with the 9.1 percent return previously reflected in rates) and an accrual for the revenue decoupling mechanism ($12 million), offset in part by lower purchased power ($99 million) and fuel costs ($35 million). CECONY’s revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans.

Electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area decreased 1.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area decreased 0.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period, reflecting the impact of lower average normalized use per customer.

CECONY’s electric purchased power costs decreased $99 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due to a decrease in unit costs ($54 million) and purchased volumes ($45 million). Electric fuel costs decreased $35 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due to lower unit costs ($38 million), offset by higher send out volumes from the company’s generating facilities ($3 million).

CECONY’s electric operating income increased $57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($204 million, due primarily to the electric rate plan, including the collection of a surcharge for a New York State assessment and the recovery of higher pension expense), offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($74 million, due primarily to the surcharge for a New York State assessment ($40 million), and higher pension expense ($30 million) ), taxes other than income taxes ($64 million, principally property taxes) and depreciation ($9 million). The increased operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from two severe winter storms were deferred as a regulatory asset, and did not affect electric operating income. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY’s gas operating revenues decreased $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to a decrease in gas purchased for resale costs ($134 million), offset in part by the 2009 gas rate plan ($27 million). CECONY’s revenues from gas sales are subject to a weather normalization clause and a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which, delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.

Table of Contents

Gas operating income increased $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with

the 2009 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($5 million), offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($3 million), and taxes other than income taxes ($1 million).

Competitive Energy Businesses

The competitive energy businesses’ earnings decreased $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period due primarily to higher mark-to-market losses in the 2010 period versus the 2009 period.

Operating revenues increased $88 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period, due primarily to increased mark-to-market activity and electric retail revenues. Electric wholesale revenues decreased $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the 2009 period, due to lower sales volumes ($61 million) and unit prices ($1 million). Electric retail revenues increased $49 million, due to higher sales volume ($78 million), offset by lower per unit prices ($29 million). Electric retail revenues increased 17 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the 2009 period, due to higher sales volumes, while gross margins increased significantly due primarily to the sale of higher margin contracts, lower costs and higher volumes. Net mark-to-market losses increased $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the 2009 period due primarily to lower prices on electric and natural gas contracts, of which $104 million in gains are reflected in revenues and $111 million in losses are reflected in purchased power costs. Other revenues decreased $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the 2009 period due primarily to lower sales of energy efficiency services.

Operating expenses increased $93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the 2009 period, due primarily to increased purchased power cost ($90 million), gas purchased for resale ($1 million) and higher operations and maintenance costs ($2 million).
