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, 2011 and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part I, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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

Note B — Regulatory Matters

Rate Agreements

CECONY — Electric

In March 2012, the NYSPSC issued an order requiring that the $134 million surcharge that was to have been collected from customers during the rate year ending March 2013 instead be offset using certain CECONY regulatory liabilities that would have otherwise been refundable to or applied for the benefit of customers after the rate year.

O&R — Electric

On February 24, 2012, O&R, the staff of the NYSPSC and the Utility Intervention Unit of New York State’s Division of Consumer Protection entered into a Joint Proposal with respect to the company’s rates for electric delivery service rendered in New York. The Joint Proposal, which the NYSPSC approved in June 2012, covers the three-year period from July 2012 through June 2015. The Joint Proposal provides for electric base rate increases of $19.4 million, $8.8 million and $15.2 million, effective July 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, which is being implemented, at the NYSPSC’s option, with increases of $15.2 million effective July 2012 and 2013 and an increase of $13.1 million, together with a surcharge of $2.1 million, effective July 2014. The Joint Proposal reflects the following major items:

•

a weighted average cost of capital of 7.61 percent, 7.65 percent and 7.48 percent for the rate years ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, reflecting:

•

a return on common equity of 9.4 percent, 9.5 percent and 9.6 percent for the rate years ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively;

•

cost of long-term debt of 6.07 percent for each of the rate years ending June 30, 2013 and 2014 and 5.64 percent for the rate year ending June 30, 2015;

•

common equity ratio of 48 percent for each of the rate years ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015; and

•

average rate base of $671 million, $708 million and $759 million for the rate years ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively;

•

sharing with electric customers of any actual earnings, excluding the effects of any penalties and certain other items, above specified percentage returns on common equity (based on the actual average common equity ratio, subject to a 50 percent maximum):

•

the company will allocate to customers the revenue requirement equivalent of 50 percent, 75 percent and 90 percent of any such earnings for each rate year in excess of 80 basis points, 180 basis points and 280 basis points, respectively, above the return on common equity for that rate year indicated above; and

•

the earnings sharing allocation between the company and customers will be on a cumulative basis at the end of rate year three;

•

continuation of a revenue decoupling mechanism;


					19

•

continuation of a provision which defers as a regulatory liability for the benefit of customers or, subject to certain limitations, a regulatory asset for recovery from customers, as the case may be, the revenue requirement impact of the amount by which actual average net utility plant for each rate year is different than the average net utility plant reflected in rates ($678 million, $704 million and $753 million for the rate years ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively);

•

continuation of the rate provisions pursuant to which the company recovers its purchased power costs from customers;

•

continuation of rate provisions under which pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses, environmental remediation expenses, tax-exempt debt costs, property taxes and certain other expenses are reconciled to amounts for those expenses reflected in rates; and

•

continuation of provisions for potential operations penalties of up to $3 million annually if certain customer service and system reliability performance targets are not met.

Other Regulatory Matters

In February 2009, the NYSPSC commenced a proceeding to examine the prudence of certain CECONY expenditures (see “Investigations of Vendor Payments” in Note H). Pursuant to NYSPSC orders, a portion of the company’s revenues (currently, $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 September 30, 2012, the company had collected an estimated $1,031 million from customers subject to potential refund in connection with this proceeding. In October 2010, a NYSPSC consultant reported its $21 million provisional assessment, which the company has disputed, of potential overcharges for construction work. These estimated potential overcharges related to transactions that involved certain employees who were arrested and a contractor that performed work for the company. The company expects that the NYSPSC’s consultant will be reporting an estimate of potential overcharges with respect to a substantial portion of the company’s construction expenditures from January 2000 to January 2009, including expenditures for transactions that did not involve the arrested employees and contractor. The NYSPSC consultant’s estimate is expected to be materially higher than its $21 million provisional assessment. The NYSPSC’s consultant is developing its estimate based on its review of a selection of the construction expenditures and its extrapolation of the results of its review (which the company is disputing). The NYSPSC’s consultant is expected to continue to review the company’s expenditures. At September 30, 2012, the company had a $15 million regulatory liability relating to this matter. The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, by which any refund required by the NYSPSC may exceed this regulatory liability.

In February 2011, the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding to examine the existing mechanisms pursuant to which utilities recover site investigation and remediation costs and possible alternatives. See Note G.

Note C — Capitalization

In March 2012, CECONY issued $400 million of 4.20 percent 30-year debentures, $239 million of the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to redeem on May 1, 2012 all outstanding shares of its $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock ($100 par value). In November 2012, CECONY purchased $225 million of its tax-exempt debt that was subject to mandatory tender.

The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt are:


*(Millions of Dollars)*	September 30, 2012				December 31, 2011
Long-Term Debt (including current portion)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Con Edison		$10,769		$13,197		$10,673		$12,744
CECONY		$ 9,845		$12,001		$ 9,745		$11,593


					21

Fair values of long-term debt have been estimated primarily using available market information. For Con Edison, $12,561 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at September 30, 2012 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. For CECONY, $11,365 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at September 30, 2012 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively (see Note K). The $636 million of long-term debt classified as Level 3 is CECONY’s tax-exempt, auction-rate securities for which the market is highly illiquid and there is a lack of observable inputs.

Note D — Short-Term Borrowing

At September 30, 2012, Con Edison had $340 million of commercial paper outstanding, $332 million of which was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate was 0.3 percent for each of Con Edison and CECONY. The Companies have not borrowed under their October 2011 credit agreement. Con Edison had $207 million of letters of credit outstanding under the credit agreement (including $192 million for CECONY).

During the first nine months of 2012, Con Edison contributed $34 million to the other postretirement benefit plans (of which $28 million was contributed by CECONY).

Note G — Environmental Matters

Superfund Sites

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

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


					23

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

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:


	Con Edison				CECONY
*(Millions of Dollars)*	2012		2011		2012		2011
Accrued Liabilities:
Manufactured gas plant sites		$466		$422		$352		$307
Other Superfund Sites		71		67		71		66
Total		$537		$489		$423		$373
Regulatory assets		$722		$681		$607		$564

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. 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. In February 2011, the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding to examine the existing mechanisms pursuant to which utilities recover such costs and possible alternatives.

Environmental remediation costs incurred and insurance recoveries received related to Superfund Sites for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	Con Edison				CECONY

Insurance recoveries received		—		—		—		—

In 2010, 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 $1.9 billion. In 2010, 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 $200 million. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings

Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining


24

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 2010, CECONY estimated that its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years is $10 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:


	Con Edison				CECONY
*(Millions of Dollars)*	2012		2011		2012		2011
Accrued liability – asbestos suits		$10		$10		$10		$10
Regulatory assets – asbestos suits		$10		$10		$10		$10
Accrued liability – workers’ compensation		$94		$98		$89		$93
Regulatory assets – workers’ compensation		$19		$23		$19		$23

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 93 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.

Investigations of Vendor Payments

In January 2009, CECONY commenced an internal investigation relating to the arrests of certain employees and retired employees (all of whom have since been convicted) 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 has provided 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. 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).

CECONY is also investigating the September 2010 arrest of a retired employee (who has since been convicted of participating in a bribery scheme in which the employee received payments from two companies that supplied materials to the company) and the January 2011 arrest of an employee (for accepting kickbacks from an engineering firm that performed work for the company). CECONY has provided information to governmental authorities in connection with their ongoing investigations of these matters.

The company, based upon its evaluation of its internal controls for 2011 and previous years, believes that the controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that its financial statements have been fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because the company’s investigations are ongoing, the company is unable to predict the impact of any of the employees’ unlawful


					25

conduct on the company’s internal controls, business, results of operations or financial position.

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 $(73) million at September 30, 2012 and $(55) million at December 31, 2011 and is comprised of a $228 million gross investment less $301 million of deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2012 and $234 million gross investment less $289 million of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2011.

On audit of Con Edison’s tax return for 1997, the IRS disallowed the tax losses in connection with the 1997 LILO transaction. In December 2005, Con Edison paid a $0.3 million income tax deficiency asserted by the IRS for the tax year 1997 with respect to the 1997 LILO transaction. In April 2006, the company paid interest of $0.2 million associated with the deficiency and commenced an action in the United States Court of Federal Claims, entitled Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. v. United States, to obtain a refund of this tax payment and interest. A trial was completed in November 2007. In October 2009, the court issued a decision in favor of the company concluding that the 1997 LILO transaction was, in substance, a true lease that possessed economic substance, the loans relating to the lease constituted bona fide indebtedness, and the deductions for the 1997 LILO transactions claimed by the company in its 1997 federal income tax return are allowable. The IRS appealed the decision in December 2011. Oral argument on the appeal is scheduled to be held in November 2012.

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 returns for 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the IRS has disallowed $35 million, $40 million, $41 million and $42 million, respectively, of net tax deductions taken with respect to both of the LILO transactions. When these audit level disallowances become appealable, Con Edison intends to file an appeal of the disallowances.

Con Edison believes that its LILO transactions have been correctly reported, and has not recorded any reserve with respect to the disallowance of tax losses, or related interest, in connection with its LILO transactions. Con Edison’s estimated tax savings, reflected in its financial statements, from the two LILO transactions through September 30, 2012, in the aggregate, was $248 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 $122 million net of tax at September 30, 2012.

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.

In July 2012, Con Edison Development purchased a company that is developing 70 MW (AC) of solar energy projects in Alpaugh, California (Alpaugh). Electricity generated by the projects is to be purchased by Pacific Gas and Electric Company pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements (PPA). Alpaugh was purchased for $288 million, including contingent consideration of $2 million, of which $284 million has been allocated to construction work in progress and $4 million to deposits relating to the PPA and interconnection agreements. The total cost to acquire and construct these projects is estimated to be $350 million.

In October 2012, Con Edison Development purchased two companies that are developing 40 MW (AC) of solar energy projects in Tulare and Kings County, California. Electricity generated by the projects is to be purchased by Pacific Gas and Electric Company pursuant to long-term PPAs. The projects were purchased for approximately $51 million, of which $39 million has been allocated to construction work in progress and $12 million to deposits relating to the PPA and interconnection agreements. The total cost to acquire and construct these projects is estimated to be $200 million.

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 the Companies’ commodity derivatives at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

Credit Exposure

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

At September 30, 2012, Con Edison and CECONY had $118 million and $13 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $44 million with investment-grade counterparties, $25 million with commodity exchange brokers, $47 million with independent system operators and $2 million with non-rated counterparties. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $3 million with investment-grade counterparties and $10 million 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 fair values of the Companies’ commodity derivatives at September 30, 2012 were:

The Utilities generally recover all of their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas cost, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility commissions. 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.

The following tables present the changes in the fair values of commodity derivatives that have been deferred or recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:

As of September 30, 2012, Con Edison had 1,289 contracts, including 628 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). The following table presents the number of contracts by commodity type:

CECONY		113		3,271,000		—		—		515		81,080,000		628

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


32

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position and collateral posted at September 30, 2012, 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:


*(Millions of Dollars)*	Con Edison (a)			CECONY (a)
Aggregate fair value – net liabilities		$62			$41
Collateral posted		$14			$ 9
Additional collateral (b) (downgrade one level from current ratings (c))		$ —			$ —
Additional collateral (b) (downgrade to below investment grade from current ratings (c))		$85	(d)		$45	(d)

(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 September 30, 2012, would have amounted to an estimated $25 million for Con Edison. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.

(b)

The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net 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.

(c)

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.

(d)	Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At September 30, 2012, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $27 million.

Interest Rate Swap

O&R has an interest rate swap pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 6.09 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap at September 30, 2012 was an unrealized loss of $6 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. The increase in the fair value of the swap for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1 million and $2 million, respectively. In the event O&R’s credit rating was downgraded to BBB- or lower by S&P or Baa3 or lower by Moody’s, 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

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:

•

Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.


					33

This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.

•

Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.

•

Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments expand existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and make other amendments. For fair value measurements in Level 3, this update requires the Companies to provide a description of the valuation process in place, a quantitative disclosure of unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement as well as a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs. The update also requires the Companies to disclose any transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of fair value hierarchy measurements and the reasons for the transfers.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 are summarized below.

The employees in the risk management groups of the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The managers of the risk management groups report to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities commissions. 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 ($2 million loss and $10 million loss) and purchased power costs ($2 million gain and $12 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($11 million loss and $35 million loss), and purchased power costs ($42 million loss and $6 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets held at September 30, 2012 and 2011 is included in non-utility revenues ($2 million loss and $10 million loss), and purchased power costs ($16 million gain and $5 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities included in non-utility revenues ($11 million loss and $35 million loss), and purchased power costs ($40 million gain and $31 million gain) on the consolidated income statement, respectively.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2012, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations. To assess nonperformance risk, the Companies considered information such as collateral requirements, master netting arrangements, letters of credit and parent company guarantees, and applied a market-based method by using the counterparty (for an asset) or the Companies’ (for a liability) credit default swaps rates.

Note L — Hurricane Sandy

In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused extensive damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution system and interrupted service to approximately 950,000 CECONY customers and approximately 250,000 O&R customers. Hurricane Sandy also damaged CECONY’s steam system and interrupted service to many of its steam customers. To restore service to their customers and repair their energy systems, the Utilities are incurring substantial operating costs and making substantial capital expenditures, the amount of which the Utilities are unable to estimate at this time. The Utilities’ rate plans provide for operating costs and capital expenditures under different provisions. The Utilities expect that most of their operating expenses attributable to Hurricane Sandy will be deferred for recovery as a regulatory asset under their electric rate plans. The Utilities’ capital expenditures, up to specified levels, are reflected in rates under their rate plans. In addition CECONY’s rate plans provide that it may request in its next base rate filings to recover additional capital expenditures (provided the company can justify the need for and reasonableness of, and its inability to reasonably avoid, such additional capital expenditures). Under its New York electric rate plan and subject to certain limitations, O&R defers as a regulatory asset the revenue requirement impact of the amount by which actual average net utility plant is different than the average net utility plant reflected in rates. Under the New York rate plans, the Utilities also may petition the NYSPSC for authorization to defer extraordinary expenditures not otherwise addressed in their rate plans. The Utilities’ New York electric rate plans include provisions for revenue decoupling, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The provisions of the Utilities’ New York electric plans that impose penalties for operating performance provide for exceptions for major storms and catastrophic events beyond the control of the companies, including natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. The Utilities expect the NYSPSC to investigate the preparation and performance of New York utilities in connection with Hurricane Sandy.

CECONY

Electric

CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.3 million customers in all of New York City (except part of Queens) and most of Westchester County, an approximately 660 square mile service area with a population of more than nine million.

Gas

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

In June 2012, the company increased its forecast of average annual growth of the peak gas demand in its service area over the next five years at design conditions from approximately 3.5 percent to 4.3 percent, reflecting, among other things, oil to gas conversions anticipated to result from changes to New York City regulations that will phase out the use of certain types of heating oil and the relative prices of oil and natural gas.

Steam

CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in the United States by producing and delivering more than 22,000 MMlbs of steam annually to approximately 1,735 customers in parts of Manhattan.

Collective Bargaining Agreement

In July 2012, CECONY reached a four-year collective bargaining agreement covering approximately 8,000 employees (which was ratified in August 2012 by the employees) ending a 26-day work stoppage involving those employees. During the work stoppage, the company operated its electric, gas and steam businesses with approximately 5,500 employees and additional resources.

O&R

Electric

O&R and its utility subsidiaries, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) and Pike County Light & Power Company (Pike) (together referred to herein as O&R) provide electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York and in adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania, an approximately 1,350 square mile service area.

Gas

O&R delivers gas to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northeastern Pennsylvania.

Competitive Energy Businesses

Con Edison pursues competitive energy opportunities through three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Con Edison Solutions, Con Edison Energy and Con Edison Development. These businesses include the sales and related hedging of electricity to retail and wholesale customers, sales of certain energy-related products and services, and participation in energy infrastructure projects. At September 30, 2012, Con Edison’s equity investment in its competitive energy businesses was $514 million and their assets amounted to $1,021 million. For information about purchases of solar energy companies during 2012, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Requirements and Resources,” below.

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


					41

Con Edison’s net income for common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $440 million or $1.50 a share ($1.49 on a diluted basis) compared with $383 million or $1.31 a share ($1.30 on a diluted basis) for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net income for common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $931 million or $3.18 a share ($3.16 on a diluted basis) compared with earnings of $860 million or $2.94 a share ($2.92 on a diluted basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. See “Results of Operations – Summary,” below. For segment financial information, see Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements and “Results of Operations,” below.

Results of Operations — Summary

Net income for common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
*(millions of dollars)*	2012			2011		2012			2011

(a)	Includes $17 million and $(7) million of net after-tax mark-to-market gains/(losses) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Includes $35 million and $14 million of net after-tax mark-to-market gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(b)	Consists of inter-company and parent company accounting.

The Companies’ results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with the 2011 periods, reflect changes in the Utilities’ rate plans and the effects of the milder winter weather on steam revenues. These rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases in certain operations and maintenance expenses, and depreciation. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses, including net mark-to-market effects.

Operations and maintenance expenses were higher in the 2012 periods due to pension costs and the support and maintenance of company underground facilities to accommodate municipal projects. Depreciation was higher in the 2012 periods reflecting the impact of higher utility plant balances.

The following table presents the estimated effect on earnings per share and net income for common stock for the three and nine months ended 2012 as compared with the 2011 period, resulting from these and other major factors:


	Three Months Variation						Nine Months Variation
	Earnings per Share			Net Income (millions of dollars)			Earnings per Share			Net Income (millions of dollars)

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. Changes in the Companies’ cash and temporary cash investments resulting from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

Con Edison


	Con Edison									CECONY
*(millions of dollars)*	2012			2011			Variance			2012			2011			Variance
Operating activities		$ 1,638			$ 2,161			$(523	)		$ 1,463			$ 1,960			$(497	)
Investing activities		(1,867	)		(1,611	)		(256	)		(1,483	)		(1,450	)		(33	)
Financing activities		(350	)		(490	)		140			(326	)		(518	)		192
Net change		(579	)		60			(639	)		(346	)		(8	)		(338	)
Balance at beginning of period		648			338			310			372			78			294
Balance at end of period		$ 69			$ 398			$(329	)		$ 26			$ 70			$ (44	)

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, economic conditions and measures that promote energy efficiency. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income. 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.

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 and deferred income tax expense. Principal non-cash credits include amortizations of certain net regulatory liabilities. 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. In addition, the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities reflect the timing of the deduction for income tax purposes of their construction expenditures.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for Con Edison and CECONY were $523 million and $497 million lower, respectively, compared with the 2011 period. The decrease in net cash flows reflects primarily the increased pension contributions in 2012 ($243 million for Con Edison and $231 million for CECONY). The Companies contributed $787 million and $544 million (of which $733 million and $502 million was contributed by CECONY) to the pension plan during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in net cash flows is also due to higher estimated income tax payments, net of refunds received, in 2012 ($178 million for Con Edison and $153 million for CECONY) and lower cash flows associated with collateral paid to brokers and counterparties in the 2012 period ($53 million for Con Edison and $50 million for CECONY).

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

The changes in regulatory assets principally reflect changes in deferred pension costs in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $256 million and


					43

$33 million higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. The changes for Con Edison and CECONY reflect increased utility construction expenditures in 2012. In addition, for Con Edison, the change reflects capital expenditures for Alpaugh and other solar energy projects (see “Capital Requirements and Resources,” below), return of investment resulting from the receipt of government grant proceeds at the Pilesgrove solar project and proceeds from grants related to other renewable investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $140 million and $192 million higher, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period.

In March 2012, CECONY issued $400 million of 4.20 percent 30-year debentures, $239 million of the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to redeem on May 1, 2012 all outstanding shares of its $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock ($100 par value). In July 2012, CECONY redeemed at maturity $300 million 5.625 percent 10-year debentures. The Companies had no issuances of long-term debt in 2011.

Cash flows from financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuances (included on the consolidated balance sheets as “Notes payable”). The commercial paper amounts outstanding at September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the average daily balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 for Con Edison and CECONY were as follows:


	2012						2011
*(millions of dollars, except Weighted Average Yield)*	Outstanding at September 30			Daily average			Outstanding at September 30			Daily average
Con Edison		$340			$116			$—			$110
CECONY		$332			$112			$—			$110
Weighted average yield		0.3	%		0.3	%		—	%		0.3	%

Other Changes in Assets and Liabilities

The following table shows changes in certain assets and liabilities at September 30, 2012, compared with December 31, 2011.


	Con Edison			CECONY
*(millions of dollars)*	2012 vs. 2011 Variance			2012 vs. 2011 Variance
Assets
Regulatory asset – Unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs		$(641	)		$(582	)
Non-utility plant – Construction work in progress		361			—
Prepayments		288			308
Liabilities
Pensions and retiree benefits		(796	)		(710	)
Deferred income taxes and investment tax credits		463			380

Regulatory Asset for Unrecognized Pension and Other Postretirement Costs and Noncurrent Liability for Pensions and Retiree Benefits

The decrease in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs and the noncurrent liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2011 in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the year’s amortization of accounting costs. The decrease in the noncurrent liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects in part contributions to the plans made by the Utilities in 2012. See Notes B, E and F to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.


44

Non-Utility Plant – Construction Work in Progress

The increase in non-utility plant – construction work in progress for Con Edison reflects the Alpaugh and other solar energy projects. See Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Prepayments

The increase in prepayments for Con Edison and CECONY reflects the portion allocable to the 2012 fourth quarter of CECONY’s July 2012 payment of its New York City semi-annual property taxes.

Deferred Income Taxes and Investment Tax Credits

The increase in the liability for deferred income taxes and investment tax credits reflects the timing of the deduction of expenditures for utility plant which resulted in amounts being collected from customers to pay income taxes in advance of when the income tax payments will be required. See “Cash Flows from Operating Activities,” above.

Capital Requirements and Resources

As of September 30, 2012, there was no material change in the Companies’ capital requirements, contractual obligations and capital resources compared to those disclosed under “Capital Requirements and Resources” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K other than as described below and in Note C to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

In July 2012, Con Edison Development purchased a company that is developing 70 MW (AC) of solar energy projects in Alpaugh, California. In October 2012, Con Edison Development purchased two companies that are developing 40 MW (AC) of solar energy projects in Tulare and Kings County, California. Electricity generated by the projects is to be purchased by Pacific Gas and Electric Company pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements. See Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison has increased its estimate of capital expenditures in 2012 by its competitive energy businesses from $119 million to approximately $500 million and in 2013 from $86 million to approximately $240 million to reflect the costs to purchase the solar energy companies and complete the projects. The acquisitions of the solar energy companies were funded at the closing with available cash balances and commercial paper issuances. Con Edison is evaluating long-term financing for the projects. Con Edison expects to receive investment tax credits or grants for the projects.

For each of the Companies, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (Securities and Exchange Commission basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was:


	Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011		For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Con Edison		3.9		3.6		3.8
CECONY		3.9		3.8		3.9

For each of the Companies, the common equity ratio at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was:


	Common Equity Ratio (Percent of total capitalization)
	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Con Edison		54.6		52.5
CECONY		54.1		52.0

Regulatory Matters

CECONY’s current electric rate plan covers the three-year period ending March 31, 2013. Either the company or the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) can initiate a proceeding for a new rate plan. A new rate plan filed by the company would take effect automatically in approximately 11 months unless prior to such time the NYSPSC adopts a rate plan. CECONY understands that the base rates determined pursuant to the current rate plan and the other provisions of the current rate plan would continue in effect after March 31, 2013 until a new rate plan is effective. The company is preparing to


					45

file a new rate plan with the NYSPSC in November 2012. A new rate plan is expected to be effective in October 2013.

CECONY’s current gas and steam rate agreements cover the three-year period ending September 30, 2013. The company is preparing to file new gas and steam rate plans with the NYSPSC in November 2012. New gas and steam rate plans are expected to be effective in October 2013.

For information about a March 2012 NYSPSC order relating to a surcharge that CECONY was to have collected from customers and O&R’s February 2012 Joint Proposal (which was adopted by the NYSPSC in June 2012) with respect to its rates for electric service rendered in New York, see Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

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

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businesses manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at September 30, 2012, a 10 percent variation in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would not result in a material change in annual interest expense. Under CECONY’s current gas, steam and electric rate plans, variations in actual long-term debt interest rates are reconciled to levels reflected in rates. Under O&R’s current New York rate plans, variations in actual tax-exempt (and under the gas rate plan, taxable) long-term debt interest expense are reconciled to the level set in rates.

In addition, from time to time, Con Edison and its businesses enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk on certain debt securities. See “Interest Rate Swap” in Note J to the Third 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 apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note J to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of September 30, 2012, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $54 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $43 million is for CECONY and $11 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of their electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of instruments or the portfolio due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their electricity and natural gas commodity businesses using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for transactions associated with hedges on generating assets

and commodity contracts, assuming a one-day holding period, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively, was as follows:

Credit Risk

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

Investment Risk

The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 60 percent equities and 40 percent fixed income and other securities. At September 30, 2012, the pension plan investments consisted of 62 percent equity and 38 percent fixed income and other securities.

Material Contingencies

For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see Notes B, G, and H to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

See “Results of Operations – Summary,” above.

Results of operations reflect, among other things, the Companies’ accounting policies and rate plans that limit the rates the Utilities can charge their customers. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms currently applicable to CECONY’s electric and gas businesses and O&R’s electric and gas businesses in New York, the Utilities’ delivery revenues generally will not be affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Delivery revenues for CECONY’s steam business and O&R’s businesses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are affected by changes in delivery volumes resulting from weather, economic conditions and other factors. See Note B to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect the Companies’ results of operations. 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 utility activities, O&R’s regulated utility activities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities. A discussion of the results of operations by principal business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 follows. For additional business segment financial information, see Note I to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.

are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric sales in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not subject to a decoupling mechanism, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact such revenues. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s electric rate plan. See “Rate Agreements – O&R – Electric” in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 0.1 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. After adjusting for weather and other variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area increased 2.7 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period.

Electric operating income increased $6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($7 million) and lower taxes, other than income taxes ($1 million), offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($1 million), and depreciation and amortization ($1 million).

Steam purchased power costs decreased $14 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period due to a decrease in unit costs ($38 million) offset by an increase in purchased volumes ($24 million).


58

Steam operating income decreased $41 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. The decrease reflects primarily lower net revenues ($21 million), higher operations and maintenance costs ($23 million, due primarily to higher pension expense ($31 million)) and higher depreciation and amortization ($1 million), offset by lower taxes, other than income taxes ($4 million, principally property taxes and local revenue taxes).

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased $10 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period due primarily to the issuance by CECONY in March 2012 of $400 million of 4.20 percent 30-year debentures.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $11 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period reflecting higher income before income tax expense, offset by higher deductions for injuries and damages payments in the 2012 period.

O&R’s electric operating revenues decreased $50 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period due primarily to lower purchased power costs ($68 million), offset in part by higher revenues from the New York rate plan ($8 million). O&R’s New York electric delivery revenues are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric sales in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not subject to a decoupling mechanism, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact such revenues. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s electric rate plan. See “Rate Agreements – O&R – Electric” in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 0.6 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. After adjusting for weather and other variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area increased 1.8 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period.

Electric operating income increased $5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($18 million), offset by higher operations and maintenance costs ($7 million, due to higher pension and health care expense), taxes other than income taxes ($4 million, principally property taxes) and higher depreciation and amortization ($2 million).

O&R’s gas operating revenues decreased $9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period due primarily to the decrease in gas purchased for resale in 2012 ($14 million). O&R’s New York 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.

Sales and transportation volumes for firm customers decreased 14.5 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. After adjusting for weather and other variations, total firm sales and transportation volumes increased 0.6 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period.

Gas operating income increased $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($5 million), offset by higher depreciation and amortization ($1 million).

Competitive Energy Businesses

The competitive energy businesses’ results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
*(millions of dollars)*	September 30, 2012		September 30, 2011		Variation
Operating revenues	$	954	$	1,286	$	(332	)

Operating income	$	111	$	75	$	36

The competitive energy businesses’ operating revenues decreased $332 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period, due primarily to lower electric retail and wholesale revenues. Electric wholesale revenues decreased $122 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the 2011 period, due to lower sales volumes ($93 million) and unit prices ($29 million). Electric retail revenues decreased $213 million, due to lower sales volume ($115 million) and unit prices ($98 million). Net mark-to-market values increased $37 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012

as compared with the 2011 period, of which $16 million in gains are reflected in purchased power costs and $21 million in gains are reflected in revenues. Other revenues decreased $18 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the 2011 period due primarily to lower other wholesale revenue ($17 million) and energy services revenue ($16 million), offset by higher solar revenue ($14 million).

Purchased power costs decreased $340 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 period, due primarily to lower volumes ($175 million), lower unit prices ($149 million) and changes in mark-to-market values ($16 million). Operating income increased $36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the 2011 due primarily to net mark-to-market effects ($37 million).

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

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

The Utilities have undertaken a project with the objective of improving business processes and information systems. The Utilities expect the project to reduce costs, improve support of operating activities, reduce financial reporting risks, and simplify compliance activities. The focus of the project is the new financial and supply chain enterprise resource planning information systems that the Utilities began to use in July 2012. The Utilities expect the project to enhance the processes used by employees to record financial transactions and analyze data; purchase materials and services and manage inventory; develop business plans and budgets and report financial and purchasing data. The project has materially affected the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. There was no other change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.
