|We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pepco Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 10, 2003, except as to the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs of Note 14 for which the date is March 4, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2003, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

|Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings or the Company), a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA), was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February 9, 2001 for the purpose of effecting Potomac Electric Power Company's (Pepco) acquisition of Conectiv. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger on August 1, 2002, Pepco and Conectiv became wholly owned subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings. Additionally, Pepco, through a series of transactions, transferred its ownership interests in its pre-merger subsidiaries Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI) and Pepco Energy Services, Inc. (Pepco Energy Services) to Pepco Holdings and PCI transferred its ownership interest in its pre-merger subsidiary Pepco Communications, Inc. (Pepcom) to Pepco Holdings.  These transactions resulted in PCI, Pepco Energy Services, and Pepcom becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings.  Additionally, PUHCA imposes certain restrictions on the operations of registered holding companies and their subsidiaries; therefore, Pepco Holdings has a subsidiary service company, named PHI Service Company, that provides a variety of support services to Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries. The costs of the service company are directly assigned or allocated to Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries based on prescribed allocation factors listed in the service agreement filed with, and approved by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Pepco Holdings manages its operations as described below.

|Pepco is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Washington, D.C. and major portions of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in suburban Maryland.  Under settlements approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission in connection with the divestiture of its generation assets in 2000, Pepco is required to provide default electricity supply to customers who do not choose another supplier (referred to as "standard offer service" or "SOS") at specified rates to customers in Maryland until July 2004 and to customers in Washington, D.C. until February 2005.  This supply is purchased from an affiliate of Mirant Corporation ("Mirant").

For a discussion of Pepco's relationship with Mirant, see Note (4) "Commitments and Contingencies" herein.  For the twelve months ended September 30, 2003, Pepco delivered 5.7 million megawatt hours to SOS customers in the District of Columbia and 10.3 million megawatt hours to SOS customers in Maryland.  For this period total deliveries were 11.0 million megawatt hours in the District of Columbia and 15.0 million megawatt hours in Maryland.

|DPL is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Delaware and portions of Maryland and Virginia and provides gas distribution service in northern Delaware.  Under settlements approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the Delaware Public Service Commission, DPL is required to provide standard offer electricity service at specified rates to residential customers in Maryland until July 2004 and to non-residential customers in Maryland until May 2004 and to provide default electricity service at specified rates to customers in Delaware until May 2006.  It is currently expected that DPL will also provide default electric service at specified rates to customers in Virginia until July 2007.  However, the Virginia State Corporation Commission could terminate the obligation for some or all classes of customers sooner if it finds that an effectively competitive market exists. Conectiv Energy (described in the "Competitive Energy" section) supplies all of DPL's standard offer and default service load requirements under a supply agreement that ends May 31, 2006.  The terms of the supply agreement are structured to coincide with DPL's load requirements under each of its regulatory settlements. Conectiv Energy's resources for supplying DPL's standard offer and default service load include electricity generated by Conectiv Energy's plants and electricity purchased under long-term agreements or in the current market.  DPL purchases gas supplies for its customers from marketers and producers in the current market and under short-term and long-term agreements.
|ACE is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in southern New Jersey. Default service obligations, known as Basic Generation Service (BGS) were supplied for the period August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003 by the following sources. Approximately 80% of the ACE's BGS load was supplied by the winning bidders of the BGS auction.  The remaining 20% of ACE's BGS load was supplied utilizing ACE's to be divested fossil fired units (prior to divestiture of the units) and ACE's NUG contracts, to the extent such electric generating plants were not sufficient to satisfy such load. Any excess energy available from these sources was sold to the market to offset the BGS supply costs.  Effective August 1, 2003, 100% of the BGS load is supplied by the winning bidders of the 2003 BGS auction with 100% of the capacity and energy available from the NUG contracts sold to the market to offset the NUG contract costs.  ACE is providing 500 MW of capacity credits to the winning bidders of the 2003 BGS auction.  The energy associated with these capacity credits is sold to the market with the revenues used to offset the operating costs of the fossil units.

The plant has become operational in stages that added 306 MW in 2002 (resulting from the installation of three CTs), 279 MW in the first quarter of 2003 (resulting from the installation of an additional two CTs and an upgrade of the CTs installed during 2002), 296 MW in the second quarter (resulting from the installation of one additional CT and one waste heat recovery boiler and steam generating unit), and is expected to add an additional 179 MW of capacity in the fourth quarter (resulting from the installation of a second waste heat recovery boiler and steam generating unit) and 30 MW in 2004 resulting from the installation of a spray water system to the six Bethlehem CTs.

|PCI manages a portfolio of financial investments.  During the second quarter of 2003, Pepco Holdings announced the discontinuation of further new investment activity by PCI.  Going forward PCI will continue to pursue opportunities to divest its remaining aircraft assets and will continue to manage its existing portfolio of financial investments which principally include energy leveraged leases. These transactions involve PCI's purchase and leaseback of utility assets located outside of the United States.  On September 30, 2003, PCI sold its final real estate property, an office building known as Edison Place (that serves as headquarters for Pepco Holdings and Pepco), for $151 million in cash and recognized a pre-tax gain of $68.8 million ($44.7 million after-tax) during the third quarter of 2003.

|The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pepco Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which Pepco Holdings has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, investments are initially carried at cost and subsequently adjusted for Pepco Holdings' proportionate share of the investees' undistributed earnings or losses and dividends.  Ownership interests in other entities of less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

However, these statements for the corresponding periods in 2002, as previously reported by Pepco, include the results of Pepco and its pre-merger subsidiaries for the entire period consolidated with the results of Conectiv and its subsidiaries starting on August 1, 2002, the date the merger was completed.  Accordingly, the consolidated balances included in the statements referred to above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are not comparable.  However, the amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are comparable as both periods presented reflect the impact of the merger transaction with Conectiv.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates used by Pepco Holdings include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, unbilled revenue, pension assumptions, and fair values used in the purchase method of accounting and the resulting goodwill balance. Although Pepco Holdings believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

|During 2002, Pepco Holdings' management approved initiatives by Pepco and Conectiv to streamline their operating structure by reducing the number of employees at each company.  These initiatives met the criteria for the accounting treatment provided under EITF No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."  As of December 31, 2002, Pepco Holdings accrued $23.2 million of severance costs in connection with the plan.  As of September 30, 2003, the severance liability had a balance of $9.0 million.  Based on the number of employees that have or are expected to accept the severance packages, substantially all of the severance liability at September 30, 2003 will be paid through mid 2005.  Employees have the option of taking severance payments in a lump sum or over a period of time.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for Pepco Holdings), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.  Pepco Holdings' assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, Pepco Holdings does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|During the third quarter of 2003 Pepco Holdings implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in Pepco Holdings' reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" ("TOPrS") and "Mandatorily Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock" on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on Pepco Holdings' results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|Pepco, DPL, and ACE have wholly owned financing subsidiary trusts shown in the table below. The financing subsidiary trusts have common and preferred trust securities outstanding and hold Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of Pepco, DPL, and ACE. Pepco, DPL, and ACE own all of the common securities of the trusts, which constitute approximately 3% of the liquidation amount of all of the trust securities issued by the trusts. The trusts use interest payments received on the Debentures, which are the trusts' only assets, to make cash distributions on the trust securities. The obligations of Pepco, DPL, and ACE pursuant to the Debentures and guarantees of distributions with respect to the trusts' securities, to the extent the trusts have funds available therefore, constitute full and unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the trusts under the trust securities the trusts have issued.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|For Pepco Holdings' consolidated financial reporting purposes, the Debentures are eliminated in consolidation against the trust's investment in the Debentures. The preferred trust securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the Debentures at maturity or upon redemption. The Debentures mature in 2026 to 2038. The Debentures are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of Pepco, DPL, and/or ACE, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

|Pepco had outstanding $45 million and $47.5 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, related to shares of $3.40 (6.80%) Series of 1992 that are subject to mandatory redemption, at par, through the operation of a sinking fund that began redeeming 50,000 shares annually, on September 1, 2002, with the remaining shares to be redeemed on September 1, 2007.  There were 900,000 shares and 950,000 shares, outstanding at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.  The sinking fund requirements through 2006 with respect to the Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock are $2.5 million in 2004, 2005, and 2006.  In the event of default with respect to dividends, or sinking fund or other redemption requirements relating to the mandatorily serial preferred stock, no dividends may be paid, nor any other distribution made, on common stock.  Payments of dividends on all series of serial preferred or preference stock, including series that are mandatorily redeemable, must be made concurrently.

|In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation, formerly Southern Energy, Inc.  As part of the sale, Pepco entered into several ongoing contractual arrangements with Mirant and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Mirant").  On July 14, 2003, Mirant Corporation and most of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Under bankruptcy law, a debtor generally may, with authorization from a bankruptcy court, assume or reject executory contracts.  A rejection of an executory contract entitles the counterparty to file a claim as an unsecured creditor against the bankruptcy estate for damages incurred due to the rejection of the contract.  In a bankruptcy proceeding, a debtor can normally restructure some or all of its pre-petition liabilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|Depending on the outcome of the matters discussed below, the Mirant bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Pepco Holdings and Pepco.  However, management currently believes that Pepco Holdings and Pepco currently have sufficient cash, cash flow and borrowing capacity under their credit facilities and in the capital markets to be able to satisfy the additional cash requirements that may arise due to the Mirant bankruptcy.  Accordingly management does not anticipate that the Mirant bankruptcy will impair the ability of Pepco Holdings or Pepco to fulfill their contractual obligations or to fund projected capital expenditures.  On this basis, management currently does not believe that the Mirant bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of either company.

|As part of the asset purchase and sale agreement for the Pepco generation assets (the "Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement"), Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the "TPAs"). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its standard offer service obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its standard offer service obligations in the District of Columbia into January 2005, in each case at rates that were lower than the rates that Pepco charges to its customers.  The rates under the TPAs currently are less than the prevailing market rates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|On October 24, 2003, Pepco entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mirant Corporation and its affiliate Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP (the "Mirant Parties"), pursuant to which the Mirant Parties have agreed that they will assume both of the TPAs in exchange for Pepco's agreement to amend the TPAs, effective October 1, 2003, to increase the purchase price of energy under the TPAs.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties also agreed that Pepco will have an allowed, pre-petition general unsecured claim against each of the Mirant Parties in the amount of $105 million (the "Pepco TPA Claim").  Additionally, Pepco will have the right to assert the Pepco TPA Claim against other Mirant debtors.  The effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Settlement Agreement, including the Pepco TPA Claim, by an order of the Bankruptcy Court.  At a hearing on November 12, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court indicated it would approve the Settlement Agreement, subject to the parties agreeing on the forms of the applicable orders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the purchase price of energy would increase to $41.90 per megawatt hour during summer months (May 1 through September 30) and $31.70 per megawatt hour during winter months (October 1 through April 30) under the District of Columbia TPA and would increase to $46.40 per megawatt hour during summer months and $28.60 per megawatt hour during winter months under the Maryland TPA.  Under the amended TPAs, the purchase prices paid by Pepco for capacity in the District of Columbia and Maryland would remain $3.50 per megawatt hour and the charge paid by Pepco for certain ancillary services would remain $.50 per megawatt hour.  The revisions would result in an increase in the average purchase price to Pepco for energy from approximately 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour to an average purchase price of approximately 4.0 cents per kilowatt hour.  The revenues produced by the currently approved tariff rates that Pepco charges its customers for providing standard offer service average approximately 4.1 cents per kilowatt hour.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|The Settlement Agreement, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, would eliminate the price risk that Pepco would have incurred had the TPAs been rejected.  Pepco estimates that, if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the court, it will pay Mirant an additional $105 million for the purchase of energy over the remaining terms of the TPAs.  These payments will be offset by a reduction of payments by Pepco to customers for the period 2003 through 2006 of approximately $45 million pursuant to the generation procurement credit established pursuant to regulatory settlements entered into in the District of Columbia and Maryland under which Pepco and its customers share any margin between the price paid by Pepco to procure standard offer service and the price paid by customers for standard offer service.  As a result, Pepco currently anticipates that it will incur a net additional cash outlay of approximately $60 million due to the amendments of the respective TPAs.  The foregoing estimates are based on current service territory load served by competitive suppliers and by standard offer service and does not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to fluctuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|If the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected by Mirant, Pepco would be required to replace the electricity currently supplied under the TPAs, likely through one or more supply contracts supplemented by market purchases. Pepco is confident that it would have alternative sources of supply sufficient to fulfill its standard offer service obligations to customers in Washington, D.C. which expire in February 2005 and Maryland at the end of June 2004. Pepco estimates that as of November 12, 2003 it would cost approximately $30 million for the remainder of 2003, $100 million in 2004 and $9 million in 2005 to replace, at a projected purchase price of approximately 4.7 cents per kilowatt hour, the electricity required to supply Pepco's standard offer service obligations in Maryland and the District of Columbia for the remainder of the respective terms of the TPAs. These figures include the impact of the generation procurement credit.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|In summary, if the Settlement Agreement is approved, or if the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected, Pepco's earnings in the future will be lower.  There was no impact on Pepco's results of operations or financial condition during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, as a result of the amended TPAs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|There is no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Settlement Agreement.  If the Settlement Agreement is approved, the amount, if any, that Pepco will be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim will depend on the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors.  At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate.

|Under agreements with FirstEnergy Corp., formerly Ohio Edison ("FirstEnergy"), and Allegheny Energy, Inc., both entered into in 1987, Pepco is obligated to purchase from FirstEnergy 450 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through December 2005 (the "FirstEnergy PPA"). Under an agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), entered into in 1991, Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021 (the "Panda PPA"). In each case, the purchase price is substantially in excess of current market prices. As a part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant. Under this arrangement, Mirant is obligated, among other things, to purchase from Pepco the capacity and energy that Pepco is obligated to purchase under the FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA at a price equal to the price Pepco is obligated to pay under the PPAs (the "PPA-Related Obligations").

|When Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition on July 14, 2003, Mirant had unpaid obligations to Pepco of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of payments due Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations (the "Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations").  The Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding.  Pepco will file a claim against the Mirant bankruptcy estate to recover the full amount of this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain.  In view of this uncertainty, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million ($8.7 million after-tax) to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant.  The amount expensed represents Pepco's current estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recoverable could be higher or lower.

Mirant's motion also sought injunctions to prohibit Pepco from initiating, or encouraging any person or entity to initiate, any proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") that seek to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and to prohibit FERC from taking any action to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On September 25, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order stating that it was not necessary to issue an injunction against Pepco because the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code prohibit Pepco from commencing or continuing any judicial or administrative proceedings against Mirant.  The Bankruptcy Court's order did grant a preliminary injunction that prohibits FERC from (i) taking any action to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the PPA-Related Obligations or commencing or continuing any proceeding outside of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the PPA-Related Obligations and (ii) taking any action, or encouraging any person or entity to take an action, to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the TPAs. The Bankruptcy Court also ordered Mirant to continue to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and its obligations under the TPAs until relieved of those obligations by an order of an appropriate court.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|Upon motions filed by Pepco and FERC, on October 9, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "District Court") withdrew jurisdiction over both the rejection and preliminary injunction proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  On October 30, Pepco submitted to the District Court its opposition to Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  FERC filed a brief in support of Pepco's position on the same date.  In addition, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners filed an amicus brief in support of Pepco's position on October 30, 2003.  On November 6, Mirant submitted its reply to Pepco's opposition and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation filed a brief in support of Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations in order to protect the interests of its customers and shareholders. While Pepco believes that it has substantial legal bases to oppose the attempt to reject the agreements, the outcome of the proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's September 25 order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings. However, if Mirant successfully rejects, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco would be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (the earliest possible effective date is September 18, 2003) and ending on the date Mirant is entitled to cease its purchases of energy and capacity from Pepco, all amounts paid by Mirant to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations, less an amount equal to the price at which Mirant resold the purchased energy and capacity.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant if rejection were permitted as indicated above, as of November 12, 2003, is approximately $21 million.  This repayment would entitle Pepco to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate in an amount equal to the amount repaid.  Mirant has also asked the Bankruptcy Court to require Pepco to disgorge such amounts accrued from July 14, 2003, the date on which Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition to September 18, 2003, on the theory that Mirant did not receive value for those payments.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant on the disgorgement theory is approximately $22.8 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its additional exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations is successful.  These estimates are based in part on current market prices and forward price estimates for energy and capacity, and do not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to significant fluctuation.  The estimates assume no recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate and no regulatory recovery, either of which would mitigate the effect of the estimated loss.  Pepco does not consider it realistic to assume that there will be no such recoveries.  Based on these assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure as of November 1, 2003, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from FirstEnergy commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 5.7 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2003, $75 million in 2004 and $65 million in 2005, the last year of the FirstEnergy PPA.

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from Panda commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 14.3 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 7.1 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $7 million for the remainder of 2003, $40 million in 2004, and $35 million in 2005 and approximately $35 million to $40 million annually thereafter through the 2021 contract termination date. For a discussion of a separate dispute with Panda regarding this agreement, see Part II, Item I, Legal Proceedings. Any potential liability in the Panda litigation would be encompassed within the estimated loss discussed above.

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations and damages if the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected will depend on whether Pepco's claims are allowed, the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors and Pepco's priority relative to other creditors. At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, whether the recovery would be in cash or another form of payment or the timing of any recovery.

|If Mirant successfully rejects the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions to recover its additional costs. Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.  Under the provisions of the settlement agreements approved by the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions in the deregulation proceedings in which Pepco agreed to divest its generation assets under certain conditions, the PPAs were to become assets of Pepco's distribution business if they could not be sold. Pepco believes that, if Mirant is successful in its motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations, these provisions would allow the stranded costs of the PPAs that are not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate to be recovered ultimately through Pepco's distribution rates.  If Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements is confirmed, Pepco expects to be able to establish the amount of its anticipated recovery as a regulatory asset.  However, there is no assurance that Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements would be confirmed by the respective public service commissions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|If the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected, and there is no regulatory recovery, Pepco will incur a loss.  However, the accounting treatment of such a loss depends on a number of legal and regulatory factors, and is not determinable at this time.

|As a term of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco assigned to Mirant a facility and capacity agreement with Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("SMECO") under which Pepco was obligated to purchase the capacity of an 84-megawatt combustion turbine installed and owned by SMECO at a former Pepco generating station (the "SMECO Agreement").  The agreement commenced in 1990 and has a monthly payment of approximately $.5 million. Pepco is responsible to SMECO for the performance of the SMECO Agreement if Mirant fails to perform its obligations thereunder.

|On February 3, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates in New Jersey.  The petition seeks a rate increase of approximately $68.4 million in electric delivery revenues, which equates to an increase in average total electricity rates of 6.9 percent overall. This is the first increase requested for electric distribution rates since 1991 and requests continuation of the currently authorized 12.5% Return on Equity (ROE).  Of the $68.4 million increase requested, $63.4 is related to an increase in ACE's distribution rates. The remaining $5.0 million of ACE's request is related to the recovery of regulatory assets through ACE's Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC).  The recovery of regulatory assets is requested over a four-year period, including carrying costs.  The RARC request was subsequently modified to $4.2 million since some of the costs included in the original filing were no longer being incurred by ACE.  The revised total revenue request was $67.6 million.  On October 28, 2003, ACE filed a required update to reflect actuals for the entire test year.  By updating forecasted data and making corrections that were identified in discovery or the updating process, the revised increase is $36.8 million, plus a RARC of $4.5 million, for a total increase request of $41.3 million.   By Order dated July 31, 2003 in another matter, the NJBPU moved consideration of approximately $25.4 million of deferred restructuring costs into this proceeding.  These deferred restructuring costs are subject to deferred accounting through the Basic Generation Service, Net Non-Utility Generation Charge, Market Transition Charge and Societal Benefits Charge of the Company's tariffs.  In the October 28, 2003, update to the base case ACE filed testimony supporting the recovery of $31 million in deferred costs transferred to the Base Case from the deferral case.  Of these costs, $3.7 million are associated with the Company's Basic Generation Service (BGS) activities and $27.3 million of the costs are restructuring transition-related costs.  The filing also supported recovery of $5.1 million in transaction costs related to the fossil generation divestiture efforts.  If recovery of the $36.1 million is approved, it is expected that recovery, with interest, will continue to be subject to deferred accounting through the above listed components of ACE's tariffs over a period of time as determined by the NJBPU.  A schedule has been set which would make possible a final order in mid 2004. ACE cannot predict at this time the outcome of this filing.
|On March 31, 2003, DPL filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission for a gas base rate increase of $16.8 million, or an increase of 12.7% in total operating revenue.  The filing included a request for a ROE of 12.5%.  DPL is currently authorized a ROE of 11.5% in Delaware. This is the first increase requested for its gas distribution since 1994. DPL has exercised its statutory right to place an interim base rate increase of $2.5 million or 1.9% into effect on May 30, 2003, subject to refund. On October 7, 2003 a settlement agreement of all parties was filed with the DPSC. The settlement provides for an annual increase in Gas Base Revenues of $7.75 million, with a 10.5% ROE.  This equates to a 5.8% increase in total revenues.  In addition, the Settlement provides for establishment of an Environmental Surcharge to recover costs associated with remediation of a Coal Gas Site and no refund of the previously implemented interim rate increase. On October 21, 2003 the Commission remanded the case back to Hearing Examiner to conduct an evening public hearing because a group of customers voiced a concern that they had not had an opportunity to be heard.  On Monday, November 3, 2003, this hearing was held.  The Hearing Examiner will now issue his report on the settlement that was previously submitted to him that reflects a final $7.75 million gas base increase.  The Hearing Examiner's report will reflect whatever weight he assigns to the public hearing held on November 3.  It is expected that the Commission will deliberate on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on Tuesday, November 25, 2003.  In addition, an increase to the Company's Gas Cost Adjustment was effective on November 1, 2003.  This change, which is made on an annual basis, results from a filing made by the Company on August 29, 2003, and will be the subject of a regulatory review.

|On January 31, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking an administrative determination of stranded costs associated with the B. L. England ("BLE") generating facility.  The net after tax stranded costs included in the petition were approximately $151 million.  An administrative determination of the stranded costs is needed due to the cancelled sale of the plant.  On July 25, 2003 the NJBPU rendered an oral decision approving the administrative determination of stranded costs at a level of $149.5 million.  As a result of this order, ACE reversed $10.0 million ($5.9 million after-tax) of previously accrued liability for possible disallowance of stranded costs.  This credit to expense is classified as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings because the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge resulting from the discontinuation of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" in conjunction with the deregulation of ACE's energy business in September 1999.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|On February 5, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order on its own initiative seeking input from ACE and the Ratepayer Advocate within 10 days as to whether and by how much to cut the 13% pre-tax return that ACE was then authorized to earn on BLE.  ACE responded on February 18 with arguments that: 1) reduced costs to ratepayers could be achieved legally through timely approvals by the NJBPU of the stranded cost filing made by ACE on January 31, 2003, and a securitization filing made the week of February 10; and 2) it would be unlawful, perhaps unconstitutional, and a breach of settlement and prior orders for the NJBPU to deny a fair recovery on prudently incurred investment and to do so without evidentiary hearings or other due process.  On April 21, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order making the return previously allowed on BLE interim, as of the date of the order, and directing that the issue of the appropriate return for BLE be included in the stranded cost proceeding.  On July 25, 2003, the NJBPU voted to approve a pre-tax return reflecting a 9.75% Return on Equity for the period April 21, 2003 through August 1, 2003.  The rate from August 1, 2003 through such time as ACE securitizes the stranded costs will be 5.25%, which the NJBPU represents as being approximately equivalent to the securitization rate.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its written order memorializing its July 25, 2003 decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|On February 14, 2003, ACE filed a Bondable Stranded Costs Rate Order Petition with the NJBPU.  The petition requested authority to issue $160 million of Transition Bonds to finance the recovery of stranded costs associated with BLE and costs of issuances.  This proceeding is related to the proceeding seeking an administrative determination of the stranded costs associated with BLE that was the subject of the July 25, 2003 NJBPU vote.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its bondable stranded cost rate order authorizing the issuance of up to $152 million of transition bonds.

|On August 1, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of New Jersey's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and the NJBPU Final Decision and Order concerning the restructuring of ACE's electric utility business, ACE petitioned the NJBPU for the recovery of about $176.4 million in actual and projected deferred costs incurred by ACE over the four-year period August 1999 through July 31, 2003.  The requested 8.4% increase was to recover those deferred costs over a new four-year period beginning August 1, 2003 and to reset rates so that there would be no under-recovery of costs embedded in ACE's rates on or after that date.  ACE's recovery of the deferred costs is subject to review and approval by the NJBPU in accordance with EDECA.  An Initial Decision by the Administrative Law Judge was rendered on June 3, 2003.  The Initial Decision was consistent with the recommendations of the auditors hired by the NJBPU to audit ACE's deferral balances.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of EDECA and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|Final briefs on Pepco's District of Columbia divestiture proceeds sharing application were filed on July 31, 2002 following an evidentiary hearing in June 2002.  That application was filed to implement a provision of Pepco's D.C.  Commission approved divestiture settlement that provided for a sharing of any net proceeds from the sale of its generation related assets.  A principal issue in the case is whether a sharing between customers and shareholders of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits associated with the sold assets would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations.  On March 4, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that is relevant to that principal issue.  Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties on June 2, 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing on June 25, 2003.  Three of the parties in the case filed comments urging the D.C. Commission to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule.  Pepco filed comments in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules.  Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the D.C. Commission to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential exists that Pepco could be required to make additional gain sharing payments to D.C. customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position. It is uncertain when the D.C. Commission will issue a decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|Pepco filed its divestiture proceeds plan application in Maryland in April 2001. Reply briefs were filed in May 2002 and Pepco is awaiting a Proposed Order from the Hearing Examiner.  The principal issue in the case is the same normalization issue that was raised in the D.C. case.  Following the filing of comments by Pepco and two other parties, the Hearing Examiner on April 8, 2003: (1) postponed his earlier decision establishing briefing dates on the question of the impact of the proposed rules on the tax issues until after the June 25, 2003 public hearing on the IRS NOPR;(2) allowed the Staff of the Commission and any other parties to submit motions by April 21, 2003 relating to the interpretation of current tax law as set forth in the preamble to the proposed rules and the effect thereof on the tax issues; and (3) allowed Pepco and any other party to file a response to any motion filed by Staff and other parties by April 30, 2003.  Staff filed a motion on April 21, 2003, in which it argued that immediate flow through to customers of a portion of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits can be authorized now based on the NOPR.  Pepco filed a response in opposition to Staff's motion on April 30, 2003, in which, among other things, Pepco argued that no action should be taken on the basis of proposed regulations because, as Pepco stated in a similar pleading in the District of Columbia divestiture proceeds case, proposed regulations are not authoritative.  The Hearing Examiner will issue a ruling on Staff's motion, although there is no time within which he must issue a ruling.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential also exists that Pepco would be required to make additional gain sharing payments to Maryland customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position.

|On February 21, 2003, the D.C. Public Service Commission opened a new proceeding to consider issues relating to (a) the establishment of terms and conditions for providing SOS in the District of Columbia after Pepco's obligation to provide SOS terminates on February 7, 2005, and (b) the selecting of a new SOS provider. Pepco and other parties filed comments on issues identified by the Commission and some parties suggested additional issues. In its comments, Pepco, among other things, suggested that the D.C. law be changed to allow Pepco to continue to be the SOS provider after February 7, 2005. Under existing law, the Commission is to adopt, before January 2, 2004, terms and conditions for SOS and for the selection of a new SOS provider. The Commission is also required, under existing law, to select the new SOS provider before July 2004. Existing law also allows the selection of Pepco as the SOS provider in the event of insufficient bids.  At a prehearing conference held on May 15, 2003, the Commission agreed with the recommendations of all but one of the parties to allow a working group, like the one that has been meeting in Maryland, to develop for the Commission's consideration regulations setting the terms and conditions for the provision of SOS service and for the selection of an SOS provider after Pepco's obligation ends in early 2005.  However, by order issued on June 24, 2003, the Commission decided that all participating parties should individually propose, by August 29, 2003, regulations setting forth such terms and conditions.  The Commission would then issue proposed regulations by September 30, 2003 and allow initial and reply comments from interested parties to be filed by October 30 and November 17, 2003, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|On September 29, 2003, the Commission issued draft proposed regulations setting forth terms and conditions for the selection of a new SOS provider(s) and/or the continuation of Pepco as the SOS provider as part of the contingency plan.  Pepco and other parties submitted comments on the draft regulations and the Commission is scheduled to issue final regulations by January 2, 2004.  The Commission has submitted legislation to the relevant City Council Committee which would provide the Commission with the flexibility to select a SOS provider(s) other than Pepco or Pepco, or perhaps some combination of Pepco and other SOS providers.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from Pepco until July 2004 and from DPL until May 2004 (non-residential) and July 2004 (residential).  Pepco and DPL have entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland. The settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.

|1. | Pepco Holdings and Conectiv have contractual commitments for performance and related payments of Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services to counter parties related to routine energy trading and procurement obligations, including requirements under BGS contracts for ACE.

|2. | Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $41.0 million on behalf of subsidiaries operations related to Conectiv Energy's competitive energy activities and third party construction performance.  These standby letters of credit were put into place in order to allow the subsidiaries flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post substantial cash collateral. While the exposure under these standby letters of credit is $41.0 million, Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount.  As of September 30, 2003, the fair value of obligations under these standby letters of credit was not required to be recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
|3. | Subsidiaries of Conectiv have guaranteed residual values in excess of fair value related to certain equipment and fleet vehicles held through lease agreements. As of September 30, 2003, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $5.2 million.  Assets leased under agreements subject to residual value guarantees are typically for periods ranging from 2 years to 10 years.  Historically, payments under the guarantee have not been made by the company as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, Conectiv believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.                                         
|4. | Pepco Holdings has issued a guarantee on the behalf of a subsidiary's 50% unconsolidated investment in a limited liability company for repayment borrowings under a loan agreement of approximately $13.1 million.

The total maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements is not estimable due to several factors, including uncertainty as to whether or when claims may be made under these indemnities.

|On June 25, 2003, Conectiv Energy entered into an agreement consisting of a series of energy contracts with an international investment banking firm with a senior unsecured debt rating of A+ / Stable from Standard & Poors (the "Counterparty"). The agreement is designed to more effectively hedge approximately fifty percent of Conectiv Energy's generation output and approximately fifty percent of its supply obligations, with the intention of providing Conectiv Energy with a more predictable earnings stream during the term of the agreement.The 35-month agreement consists of two major components: a fixed price energy supply hedge and a forward physical energy sale.The fixed price energy supply hedge will be used to reduce Conectiv Energy's financial exposure under its current supply commitment to DPL. Under this commitment, which extends through May 2006, Conectiv Energy is obligated to supply to DPL the electric power necessary to enable DPL to meet its Provider of Last Resort (POLR) load obligations. Under the energy supply hedge, the volume and price risks associated with fifty percent of the POLR load obligation are effectively transferred from Conectiv Energy to the Counterparty through a financial "contract-for-differences." The contract-for-differences establishes a fixed cost for the energy required by Conectiv Energy to satisfy fifty percent of the POLR load, and any deviations of the market price from the fixed price are paid by Conectiv Energy to, or are received by Conectiv Energy from, the Counterparty. The contract does not cover the cost of capacity or ancillary services.  Under the forward physical energy sale, Conectiv Energy will receive a fixed monthly payment from the Counterparty.  This portion of the agreement is designed to hedge sales of approximately 50% of Conectiv Energy's generation output, and under assumed operating parameters and market conditions should effectively transfer this portion of the company's wholesale energy market risk to the Counterparty, while providing a more stable stream of revenues to Conectiv Energy. The 35-month agreement also includes several standard energy price swaps under which Conectiv Energy has locked in a sales price for approximately 50% of the output from its Edge Moor facility and has financially hedged other on-peak and off-peak energy price exposures in its portfolio to further reduce market price exposure.In total, the transaction is expected to improve Conectiv Energy's risk profile by providing hedges that are tailored to the characteristics of its generation fleet and its POLR supply obligation.
|During the first quarter of 2003, Conectiv Energy had a loss of $92.3 million, which includes the unfavorable impact of a $65.7 million loss resulting primarily from the cancellation of a combustion turbine (CT) contract with General Electric. The loss at the Pepco Holdings level is $31.1 million, substantially lower than the Conectiv Energy loss due to the fair market adjustment recognized by Pepco Holdings at the time of the acquisition of Conectiv as further discussed below. The loss also includes the unfavorable impact of net trading losses of $26.6 million that resulted from a dramatic rise in natural gas futures prices during February 2003, net of an after-tax gain of $15 million on the sale of a purchase power contract in February 2003. In response to the trading losses, in early March 2003, Pepco Holdings ceased all proprietary trading activities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|Conectiv Energy had entered into contracts for the delivery of seven combustion turbines (CTs). These contracts included one with General Electric for the purchase of four CTs (the GE CTs). Through April 25, 2003, payments totaling approximately $131 million had been made for the GE CTs.As part of the acquisition of Conectiv by Pepco Holdings in August of 2002, the book value related to the CTs and associated equipment (including the payments already made as well as the future payments called for under thecontracts) was adjusted downward by approximately 35%, to the then-fair market value. Approximately $54 million of the August fair value adjustment was related to the GE CTs, and another $4 million of the adjustment was related to ancillary equipment. The adjustment was recorded by PepcoHoldings and was not pushed down to, and recorded by, Conectiv.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Because of uncertainty in the energy markets,the decline in the market for CTs and the current high level of capacity reserves within the PJM power pool, Conectiv Energy provided notice to General Electric canceling the contract for delivery of the GE CTs. The netunfavorable impact on Pepco Holdings of this cancellation, recorded in the first quarter 2003, is $31.1 million, comprised of the fees associated with cancellation of the GE CTs, allassociated site development and engineering costs and the costs associated with cancellation of ancillary equipment orders. The unfavorable impact of the cancellation specified above is also net of over $51 million in cashassociated with pre-payments on the GE CT orders, which General Electric is required to refund as a result of the cancellation. There was a positive cash impact in the second quarter related to this refund. The cancellation ofthe GE CTs and associated equipment is one of the steps being taken by the company to proactively deal with the risks it would otherwise have in the merchant energy sector.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|After the cancellation of the four General Electric CTs discussed above, Conectiv Energy continues to own three CTs which were delivered in 2002. The CTs have a carrying value of $52.5 million when adjusted to reflect the fairmarket adjustment made at the time Conectiv was acquired by Pepco Holdings. This fair market value adjustment was recorded by Pepco Holdings and was not pushed down to, and recorded by Conectiv. Due to the decline in wholesale energy prices, further analysis of energy markets and projections of future demand for electricity, among other factors, Conectiv delayed the construction and installation of these CTs. Whether these turbines will be installed and the actual location and timing of the construction and installation will be determined by market demand or transmission system needs and requirements.

|On August 1, 2002, Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco or the Company) closed on its acquisition of Conectiv for a combination of cash and stock valued at approximately $2.2 billion.  In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, both Pepco and Conectiv became subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings, formerly New RC, Inc.) a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.  Pepco Holdings was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February 9, 2001 for the purpose of effecting the merger.  As part of the merger transaction, holders of Pepco's common stock immediately prior to the August 1, 2002 merger received in exchange for their Pepco shares approximately 107,125,976 shares of Pepco Holdings common stock, par value $.01 per share.  Additionally, Pepco issued 100 shares of common stock, par value $.01, all of which are owned by Pepco Holdings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|Pepco is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Washington, D.C. and major portions of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in suburban Maryland.  Under settlements approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission in connection with the divestiture of its generation assets in 2000, Pepco is required to provide default electricity supply to customers who do not choose another supplier (referred to as "standard offer service" or "SOS") at specified rates to customers in Maryland until July 2004 and to customers in Washington, D.C. until February 2005.  This supply is purchased from an affiliate of Mirant Corporation ("Mirant").  On July 14, 2003, Mirant and most of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  For a discussion of Pepco's relationship with Mirant, see Note (4) "Commitments and Contingencies" herein.  For the twelve months ended September 30, 2003, Pepco delivered 5.7 million megawatt hours to SOS customers in the District of Columbia and 10.3 million megawatt hours to SOS customers in Maryland.  For this period total deliveries were 11.0 million megawatt hours in the District of Columbia and 15.0 million megawatt hours in Maryland.
|Prior to the August 1, 2002 merger, Pepco was also engaged in the management of a diversified financial investments portfolio and the supply of energy products and services in competitive retail markets (Competitive businesses).  These activities were performed through Pepco's wholly owned unregulated subsidiary at that time, POM Holdings, Inc. (POM) which until August 1, 2002, was the parent company of two wholly owned subsidiaries, Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI) and Pepco Energy Services, Inc. (Pepco Energy Services).  PCI managed Pepco's financial investment portfolio and Pepco Energy Services provided competitive energy products and services.  PCI's investment in Starpower Communications, LLC, which provides cable and telecommunication services in the Washington, D.C. area, is owned by its wholly owned subsidiary Pepco Communications, Inc. (Pepcom).  After the merger, the stock of PCI, Pepco Energy Services, and Pepcom was distributed as a dividend to Pepco Holdings, which resulted in Pepco Holdings becoming the new parent company of PCI, Pepco Energy Services, and Pepcom.                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|Additionally, the Company has a wholly owned Delaware statutory business trust, Potomac Electric Power Company Trust I, and a wholly owned Delaware Investment Holding Company, Edison Capital Reserves Corporation.

|The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pepco and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which Pepco has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, investments are initially carried at cost and subsequently adjusted for Pepco's proportionate share of the investees' undistributed earnings or losses and dividends.

|Pepco's unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2002.  In management's opinion, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Pepco's financial position as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2003.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|The accompanying consolidated statements of earnings and the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include only Pepco's utility operations for the full periods.  These statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, as previously reported by Pepco, include Pepco's operations for the entire periods, consolidated with its pre-merger subsidiaries' operations through July 2002.  Accordingly, the financial statements referred to above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, are not comparable.  However, the amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are comparable as both periods presented reflect the impact of the merger transaction.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Examples of estimates used by Pepco include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, unbilled revenue, and pension assumptions.

|During 2002, Pepco Holdings' management approved initiatives by Pepco to streamline their operating structure by reducing their number of employees. These initiatives met the criteria for the accounting treatment provided under EITF No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." As of December 31, 2002, Pepco accrued $17.5 million of severance costs in connection with the plan.  As of September 30, 2003, the severance liability on Pepco's books  was $4.7 million.  Based on the number of employees that have or are expected to accept the severance package, substantially all of the severance liability at September 30, 2003 will be paid through mid 2005.  Employees have the option of taking severance payments in a lump sum or over a period of time.

|Pepco has applied the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," to its agreements that contain guarantee and indemnification clauses. These provisions expand those required by FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," by requiring a guarantor to recognize a liability on its balance sheet for the fair value of obligation it assumes under certain guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor's performance under the guarantee is remote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|As of September 30, 2003, Pepco was not party to any material guarantees or indemnifications that required disclosure or recognition as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for Pepco), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46. Pepco's assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, Pepco does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                                    
|During the third quarter of 2003 Pepco implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in Pepco's reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" ("TOPrS")and "Mandatorily Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock" on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on Pepco's results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|Pepco has a wholly owned financing subsidiary trust which has common and preferred trust securities outstanding and holds Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of Pepco. Pepco owns all of the common securities of the trust, which constitute approximately 3% of the liquidation amount of all of the trust securities issued by the trust. The trust uses interest payments received on the Debentures, which are the trust's only assets, to make cash distributions on the trust securities. The obligations of Pepco pursuant to the Debentures and guarantees of distributions with respect to the trust's securities, to the extent the trust has funds available therefore, constitute full and unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the trust under the trust securities the trust has issued.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|For Pepco's consolidated financial reporting purposes, the Debentures are eliminated in consolidation against the trust's investment in the Debentures. The preferred trust securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the Debentures at maturity or upon redemption. The Debentures mature in 2038. The Debentures are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of Pepco, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

|Pepco had outstanding $45 million and $47.5 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, related to shares of $3.40 (6.80%) Series of 1992 that are subject to mandatory redemption, at par, through the operation of a sinking fund that began redeeming 50,000 shares annually, on September 1, 2002, with the remaining shares to be redeemed on September 1, 2007.  There were 900,000 shares and 950,000 shares, outstanding at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.  The sinking fund requirements through 2006 with respect to the Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock are $2.5 million in 2004, 2005, and 2006.  In the event of default with respect to dividends, or sinking fund or other redemption requirements relating to the mandatorily serial preferred stock, no dividends may be paid, nor any other distribution made, on common stock.  Payments of dividends on all series of serial preferred or preference stock, including series that are mandatorily redeemable, must be made concurrently.

On July 14, 2003, Mirant Corporation and most of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Under bankruptcy law, a debtor generally may, with authorization from a bankruptcy court, assume or reject executory contracts.  A rejection of an executory contract entitles the counterparty to file a claim as an unsecured creditor against the bankruptcy estate for damages incurred due to the rejection of the contract.  In a bankruptcy proceeding, a debtor can normally restructure some or all of its pre-petition liabilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|Depending on the outcome of the matters discussed below, the Mirant bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Pepco.  However, management currently believes that Pepco currently has sufficient cash, cash flow and borrowing capacity under its credit facilities and in the capital markets to be able to satisfy the additional cash requirements that may arise due to the Mirant bankruptcy.  Accordingly management does not anticipate that the Mirant bankruptcy will impair the ability of Pepco to fulfill its contractual obligations or to fund projected capital expenditures.  On this basis, management currently does not believe that the Mirant bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Pepco.

|As part of the asset purchase and sale agreement for the Pepco generation assets (the "Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement"), Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the "TPAs"). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its standard offer service obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its standard offer service obligations in the District of Columbia into January 2005, in each case at rates that were lower than the rates that Pepco charges to its customers.  The rates under the TPAs currently are less than the prevailing market rates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|On October 24, 2003, Pepco entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mirant Corporation and its affiliate Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP (the "Mirant Parties"), pursuant to which the Mirant Parties have agreed that they will assume both of the TPAs in exchange for Pepco's agreement to amend the TPAs, effective October 1, 2003, to increase the purchase price of energy under the TPAs.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties also agreed that Pepco will have an allowed, pre-petition general unsecured claim against each of the Mirant Parties in the amount of $105 million (the "Pepco TPA Claim").  Additionally, Pepco will have the right to assert the Pepco TPA Claim against other Mirant debtors.  The effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Settlement Agreement, including the Pepco TPA Claim, by an order of the Bankruptcy Court.  At a hearing on November 12, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court indicated it would approve the Settlement Agreement, subject to the parties agreeing on the forms of the applicable orders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the purchase price of energy would increase to $41.90 per megawatt hour during summer months (May 1 through September 30) and $31.70 per megawatt hour during winter months (October 1 through April 30) under the District of Columbia TPA and would increase to $46.40 per megawatt hour during summer months and $28.60 per megawatt hour during winter months under the Maryland TPA.  Under the amended TPAs, the purchase prices paid by Pepco for capacity in the District of Columbia and Maryland would remain $3.50 per megawatt hour and the charge paid by Pepco for certain ancillary services would remain $.50 per megawatt hour.  The revisions would result in an increase in the average purchase price to Pepco for energy from approximately 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour to an average purchase price of approximately 4.0 cents per kilowatt hour.  The revenues produced by the currently approved tariff rates that Pepco charges its customers for providing standard offer service average approximately 4.1 cents per kilowatt hour.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|The Settlement Agreement, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, would eliminate the price risk that Pepco would have incurred had the TPAs been rejected.  Pepco estimates that, if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the court, it will pay Mirant an additional $105 million for the purchase of energy over the remaining terms of the TPAs.  These payments will be offset by a reduction of payments by Pepco to customers for the period 2003 through 2006 of approximately $45 million pursuant to the generation procurement credit established pursuant to regulatory settlements entered into in the District of Columbia and Maryland under which Pepco and its customers share any margin between the price paid by Pepco to procure standard offer service and the price paid by customers for standard offer service.  As a result, Pepco currently anticipates that it will incur a net additional cash outlay of approximately $60 million due to the amendments of the respective TPAs.  The foregoing estimates are based on current service territory load served by competitive suppliers and by standard offer service and does not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to fluctuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|If the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected by Mirant, Pepco would be required to replace the electricity currently supplied under the TPAs, likely through one or more supply contracts supplemented by market purchases. Pepco is confident that it would have alternative sources of supply sufficient to fulfill its standard offer service obligations to customers in Washington, D.C. which expire in February 2005 and Maryland at the end of June 2004. Pepco estimates that as of November 12, 2003, it would cost approximately $30 million for the remainder of 2003, $100 million in 2004 and $9 million in 2005 to replace, at a projected purchase price of approximately 4.7 cents per kilowatt hour, the electricity required to supply Pepco's standard offer service obligations in Maryland and the District of Columbia for the remainder of the respective terms of the TPAs.

|In summary, if the Settlement Agreement is approved, or if the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected, Pepco's earnings in the future will be lower.

|There is no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Settlement Agreement.  If the Settlement Agreement is approved, the amount, if any, that Pepco will be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim will depend on the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors.  At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate.  Accordingly, no receivable has been recorded in Pepco's accounting records.  Any recovery would be subject to the generation procurement credit.

|Under agreements with FirstEnergy Corp., formerly Ohio Edison ("FirstEnergy"), and Allegheny Energy, Inc., both entered into in 1987, Pepco is obligated to purchase from FirstEnergy 450 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through December 2005 (the "FirstEnergy PPA"). Under an agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), entered into in 1991, Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021 (the "Panda PPA"). In each case, the purchase price is substantially in excess of current market prices. As a part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant. Under this arrangement, Mirant is obligated, among other things, to purchase from Pepco the capacity and energy that Pepco is obligated to purchase under the FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA at a price equal to the price Pepco is obligated to pay under the PPAs (the "PPA-Related Obligations").

|When Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition on July 14, 2003, Mirant had unpaid obligations to Pepco of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of payments due Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations (the "Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations").  The Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding.  Pepco will file a claim against the Mirant bankruptcy estate to recover the full amount of this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain.  In view of this uncertainty, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million ($8.7 million after-tax) to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant.  The amount expensed represents Pepco's current estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recoverable could be higher or lower.

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Mirant's motion also sought injunctions to prohibit Pepco from initiating, or encouraging any person or entity to initiate, any proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") that seek to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and to prohibit FERC from taking any action to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On September 25, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order stating that it was not necessary to issue an injunction against Pepco because the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code prohibit Pepco from commencing or continuing any judicial or administrative proceedings against Mirant.  The Bankruptcy Court's order did grant a preliminary injunction that prohibits FERC from (i) taking any action to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the PPA-Related Obligations or commencing or continuing any proceeding outside of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the PPA-Related Obligations and (ii) taking any action, or encouraging any person or entity to take an action, to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the TPAs. The Bankruptcy Court also ordered Mirant to continue to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and its obligations under the TPAs until relieved of those obligations by an order of an appropriate court.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|Upon motions filed by Pepco and FERC, on October 9, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "District Court") withdrew jurisdiction over both the rejection and preliminary injunction proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  On October 30, Pepco submitted to the District Court its opposition to Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  FERC filed a brief in support of Pepco's position on the same date.  In addition, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners filed an amicus brief in support of Pepco's position on October 30, 2003.  On November 6, Mirant submitted its reply to Pepco's opposition and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation filed a brief in support of Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations in order to protect the interests of its customers and shareholders. While Pepco believes that it has substantial legal bases to oppose the attempt to reject the agreements, the outcome of the proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's September 25 order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings. However, if Mirant successfully rejects, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco would be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (the earliest possible effective date is September 18, 2003) and ending on the date Mirant is entitled to cease its purchases of energy and capacity from Pepco, all amounts paid by Mirant to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations, less an amount equal to the price at which Mirant resold the purchased energy and capacity.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant if rejection were permitted as indicated above, as of November 12, 2003, is approximately $21 million.  This repayment would entitle Pepco to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate in an amount equal to the amount repaid.  Mirant has also asked the Bankruptcy Court to require Pepco to disgorge such amounts accrued from July 14, 2003, the date on which Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition to September 18, 2003, on the theory that Mirant did not receive value for those payments.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant on the disgorgement theory is approximately $22.8 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its additional exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations is successful.  These estimates are based in part on current market prices and forward price estimates for energy and capacity, and do not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to significant fluctuation.  The estimates assume no recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate and no regulatory recovery, either of which would mitigate the effect of the estimated loss.  Pepco does not consider it realistic to assume that there will be no such recoveries.  Based on these assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure as of November 1, 2003, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from FirstEnergy commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 5.7 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2003, $75 million in 2004 and $65 million in 2005, the last year of the FirstEnergy PPA.

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from Panda commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 14.3 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 7.1 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $7 million for the remainder of 2003, $40 million in 2004, and $35 million in 2005 and approximately $35 million to $40 million annually thereafter through the 2021 contract termination date. For a discussion of a separate dispute with Panda regarding this agreement, see Part II, Item I, Legal Proceedings. Any potential liability in the Panda litigation would be encompassed within the estimated loss discussed above.

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations and damages if the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected will depend on whether Pepco's claims are allowed, the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors and Pepco's priority relative to other creditors. At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, whether the recovery would be in cash or another form of payment or the timing of any recovery.

|If Mirant successfully rejects the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions to recover its additional costs. Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.  Under the provisions of the settlement agreements approved by the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions in the deregulation proceedings in which Pepco agreed to divest its generation assets under certain conditions, the PPAs were to become assets of Pepco's distribution business if they could not be sold. Pepco believes that, if Mirant is successful in its motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations, these provisions would allow the stranded costs of the PPAs that are not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate to be recovered ultimately through Pepco's distribution rates.  If Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements is confirmed, Pepco expects to be able to establish the amount of its anticipated recovery as a regulatory asset.  However, there is no assurance that Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements would be confirmed by the respective public service commissions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|If the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected, and there is no regulatory recovery, Pepco will incur a loss.  However, the accounting treatment of such a loss depends on a number of legal and regulatory factors, and is not determinable at this time.

|As a term of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco assigned to Mirant a facility and capacity agreement with Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("SMECO") under which Pepco was obligated to purchase the capacity of an 84-megawatt combustion turbine installed and owned by SMECO at a former Pepco generating station (the "SMECO Agreement").  The agreement commenced in 1990 and has a monthly payment of approximately $.5 million.

|Final briefs on Pepco's District of Columbia divestiture proceeds sharing application were filed on July 31, 2002 following an evidentiary hearing in June 2002.  That application was filed to implement a provision of Pepco's D.C.  Commission approved divestiture settlement that provided for a sharing of any net proceeds from the sale of its generation related assets.  A principal issue in the case is whether a sharing between customers and shareholders of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits associated with the sold assets would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations.  On March 4, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that is relevant to that principal issue.  Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties on June 2, 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing on June 25, 2003.  Three of the parties in the case filed comments urging the D. C. Commission to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule.  Pepco filed comments in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules.  Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the D.C. Commission to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential exists that Pepco could be required to make additional gain sharing payments to D.C. customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position.  It is uncertain when the D.C. Commission will issue a decision.                                                                                                                                            
|Pepco filed its divestiture proceeds plan application in Maryland in April 2001. Reply briefs were filed in May 2002 and Pepco is awaiting a Proposed Order from the Hearing Examiner.  The principal issue in the case is the same normalization issue that was raised in the D.C. case.  Following the filing of comments by Pepco and two other parties, the Hearing Examiner on April 8, 2003: (1) postponed his earlier decision establishing briefing dates on the question of the impact of the proposed rules on the tax issues until after the June 25, 2003 public hearing on the IRS NOPR;(2) allowed the Staff of the Commission and any other parties to submit motions by April 21, 2003 relating to the interpretation of current tax law as set forth in the preamble to the proposed rules and the effect thereof on the tax issues; and (3) allowed Pepco and any other party to file a response to any motion filed by Staff and other parties by April 30, 2003.  Staff filed a motion on April 21, 2003, in which it argued that immediate flow through to customers of a portion of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits can be authorized now based on the NOPR.  Pepco filed a response in opposition to Staff's motion on April 30, 2003, in which, among other things, Pepco argued that no action should be taken on the basis of proposed regulations because, as Pepco stated in a similar pleading in the District of Columbia divestiture proceeds case, proposed regulations are not authoritative.  The Hearing Examiner will issue a ruling on Staff's motion, although there is no time within which he must issue a ruling.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential also exists that Pepco would be required to make additional gain sharing payments to Maryland customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial position. It is uncertain when the Hearing Examiner or the Maryland Commission will issue their decisions.

|On February 21, 2003, the D.C. Public Service Commission opened a new proceeding to consider issues relating to (a) the establishment of terms and conditions for providing SOS in the District of Columbia after Pepco's obligation to provide SOS terminates on February 7, 2005, and (b) the selecting of a new SOS provider. Pepco and other parties filed comments on issues identified by the Commission and some parties suggested additional issues. In its comments, Pepco, among other things, suggested that the D.C. law be changed to allow Pepco to continue to be the SOS provider after February 7, 2005. Under existing law, the Commission is to adopt, before January 2, 2004, terms and conditions for SOS and for the selection of a new SOS provider. The Commission is also required, under existing law, to select the new SOS provider before July 2004. Existing law also allows the selection of Pepco as the SOS provider in the event of insufficient bids.  At a prehearing conference held on May 15, 2003, the Commission agreed with the recommendations of all but one of the parties to allow a working group, like the one that has been meeting in Maryland, to develop for the Commission's consideration regulations setting the terms and conditions for the provision of SOS service and for the selection of an SOS provider after Pepco's obligation ends in early 2005.  However, by order issued on June 24, 2003, the Commission decided that all participating parties should individually propose, by August 29, 2003, regulations setting forth such terms and conditions.  The Commission would then issue proposed regulations by September 30, 2003 and allow initial and reply comments from interested parties to be filed by October 30 and November 17, 2003, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|On September 29, 2003, the Commission issued draft proposed regulations setting forth terms and conditions for the selection of a new SOS provider(s) and/or the continuation of Pepco as the SOS provider as part of the contingency plan.  Pepco and other parties submitted comments on the draft regulations and the Commission is scheduled to issue final regulations by January 2, 2004.  The Commission has submitted legislation to the relevant City Council Committee which would provide the Commission with the flexibility to select a SOS provider(s) other than Pepco or Pepco, or perhaps some combination of Pepco and other SOS providers.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from Pepco until July 2004.  Pepco has entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland. The Settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The Settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The Settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.  In addition, the settlement provides for SOS to be procured from the wholesale marketplace and that Pepco will be able to recover its costs of procurement and a return.

In January 2002, Conectiv Energy began construction of a 1,100 MW combined cycle plant with six combustion turbines at a site in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The plant has become operational in stages that added 306 MW in 2002 (resulting from the installation of three CTs), 279 MW in the first quarter of 2003 (resulting from the installation of an additional two CTs and an upgrade of the CTs installed during 2002), 296 MW in the second quarter (resulting from the installation of one additional CT and one waste heat recovery boiler and steam generating unit), and is expected to add an additional 179 MW of capacity in the fourth quarter (resulting from the installation of a second waste heat recovery boiler and steam generating unit) and 30 MW in 2004 resulting from the installation of a spray water system to the six Bethlehem CTs.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates used by the Company include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, unbilled revenue, and pension assumptions.  Although Conectiv believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available.

|In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143 entitled "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003.  This Statement establishes the accounting and reporting standards for measuring and recording asset retirement obligations.  The Company has identified $179.6 million and $173.2 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, in asset removal costs for regulated assets related to DPL that are not legal obligations pursuant to the statement.  These removal costs have been accrued and are embedded in accumulated depreciation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The implementation of SFAS No. 143 for non-regulated assets at Conectiv subsidiaries resulted in Conectiv's recording of a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle of $7.2 million, net of taxes of $4.9 million, in its consolidated statements of earnings during the first quarter of 2003.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for Conectiv), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.Conectiv's assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, Conectiv does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.
|During the third quarter of 2003 Conectiv implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in Conectiv's reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" ("TOPrS") and "Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock" on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on Conectiv's results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|ACE and DPL have wholly owned financing subsidiary trusts which have common and preferred trust securities outstanding and hold Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of ACE and DPL.  ACE and DPL own all of the common securities of the trusts, which constitute approximately 3% of the liquidation amount of all of the trust securities issued by the trusts.  The trusts use interest payments received on the Debentures, which are the trusts' only assets, to make cash distributions on the trust securities.  The obligations of ACE and DPL pursuant to the Debentures and guarantees of distributions with respect to the trusts' securities, to the extent the trusts have funds available therefore, constitute full and unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the trusts under the trust securities the trusts have issued.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|For consolidated financial reporting purposes, the Debentures are eliminated in consolidation against the trust's investment in the Debentures.  The preferred trust securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the Debentures at maturity or upon redemption.  The Debentures mature in 2028 to 2036.  The Debentures are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of DPL and/or ACE, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|If redemption had occurred at September 30, 2003, the maximum principal amount required to redeem the securities would have been the same as the amount recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

|On February 3, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates in New Jersey.  The petition seeks a rate increase of approximately $68.4 million in electric delivery revenues, which equates to an increase in average total electricity rates of 6.9 percent overall. This is the first increase requested for electric distribution rates since 1991 and requests continuation of the currently authorized 12.5% Return on Equity (ROE).  Of the $68.4 million increase requested, $63.4 is related to an increase in ACE's distribution rates. The remaining $5.0 million of ACE's request is related to the recovery of regulatory assets through ACE's Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC).  The recovery of regulatory assets is requested over a four-year period, including carrying costs.  The RARC request was subsequently modified to $4.2 million since some of the costs included in the original filing were no longer being incurred by ACE.  The revised total revenue request was $67.6 million.  On October 28, 2003, ACE filed a required update to reflect actuals for the entire test year.  By updating forecasted data and making corrections that were identified in discovery or the updating process, the revised increase is $36.8 million, plus a RARC of $4.5 million, for a total increase request of $41.3 million.   By Order dated July 31, 2003 in another matter, the NJBPU moved consideration of approximately $25.4 million of deferred restructuring costs into this proceeding.  These deferred restructuring costs are subject to deferred accounting through the Basic Generation Service, Net Non-Utility Generation Charge, Market Transition Charge and Societal Benefits Charge of the Company's tariffs.  In the October 28, 2003, update to the base case ACE filed testimony supporting the recovery of $31 million in deferred costs transferred to the Base Case from the deferral case.  Of these costs, $3.7 million are associated with the Company's Basic Generation Service (BGS) activities and $27.3 million of the costs are restructuring transition-related costs.  The filing also supported recovery of $5.1 million in transaction costs related to the fossil generation divestiture efforts.  If recovery of the $ 36.1 million is approved, it is expected that recovery, with interest, will continue to be subject to deferred accounting through the above listed components of ACE's tariffs over a period of time as determined by the NJBPU.  A schedule has been set which would make possible a final order in mid 2004. ACE cannot predict at this time the outcome of this filing.
|On March 31, 2003, DPL filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission for a gas base rate increase of $16.8 million, or an increase of 12.7% in total operating revenue.  The filing included a request for a ROE of 12.5%.  DPL is currently authorized a ROE of 11.5% in Delaware. This is the first increase requested for its gas distribution since 1994. DPL has exercised its statutory right to place an interim base rate increase of $2.5 million or 1.9% into effect on May 30, 2003, subject to refund. On October 7, 2003 a settlement agreement of all parties was filed with the DPSC. The settlement provides for an annual increase in Gas Base Revenues of $7.75 million, with a 10.5% ROE.  This equates to a 5.8% increase in total revenues.  In addition, the Settlement provides for establishment of an Environmental Surcharge to recover costs associated with remediation of a Coal Gas Site and no refund of the previously implemented interim rate increase. On October 21, 2003 the Commission remanded the case back to Hearing Examiner to conduct an evening public hearing because a group of customers voiced a concern that they had not had an opportunity to be heard.  On Monday, November 3, 2003, this hearing was held.  The Hearing Examiner will now issue his report on the settlement that was previously submitted to him that reflects a final $7.75 million gas base increase.  The Hearing Examiner's report will reflect whatever weight he assigns to the public hearing held on November 3.  It is expected that the Commission will deliberate on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on Tuesday, November 25, 2003.  In addition, an increase to the Company's Gas Cost Adjustment was effective on November 1, 2003.  This change, which is made on an annual basis, results from a filing made by the Company on August 29, 2003, and will be the subject of a regulatory review.

|On January 31, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking an administrative determination of stranded costs associated with the B. L. England ("BLE") generating facility.  The net after tax stranded costs included in the petition were approximately $151 million.  An administrative determination of the stranded costs is needed due to the cancelled sale of the plant.  On July 25, 2003 the NJBPU rendered an oral decision approving the administrative determination of stranded costs at a level of $149.5 million.  As a result of this order, ACE reversed $10.0 million ($5.9 million after-tax) of previously accrued liability for possible disallowance of stranded costs.  This credit to expense is classified as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings because the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge resulting from the discontinuation of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" in conjunction with the deregulation of ACE's energy business in September 1999.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|On February 5, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order on its own initiative seeking input from ACE and the Ratepayer Advocate within 10 days as to whether and by how much to cut the 13% pre-tax return that ACE was then authorized to earn on BLE.  ACE responded on February 18 with arguments that: 1) reduced costs to ratepayers could be achieved legally through timely approvals by the NJBPU of the stranded cost filing made by ACE on January 31, 2003, and a securitization filing made the week of February 10; and 2) it would be unlawful, perhaps unconstitutional, and a breach of settlement and prior orders for the NJBPU to deny a fair recovery on prudently incurred investment and to do so without evidentiary hearings or other due process.  On April 21, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order making the return previously allowed on BLE interim, as of the date of the order, and directing that the issue of the appropriate return for BLE be included in the stranded cost proceeding.  On July 25, 2003, the NJBPU voted to approve a pre-tax return reflecting a 9.75% Return on Equity for the period April 21, 2003 through August 1, 2003.  The rate from August 1, 2003 through such time as ACE securitizes the stranded costs will be 5.25%, which the NJBPU represents as being approximately equivalent to the securitization rate.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its written order memorializing its July 25, 2003 decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|On February 14, 2003, ACE filed a Bondable Stranded Costs Rate Order Petition with the NJBPU.  The petition requested authority to issue $160 million of Transition Bonds to finance the recovery of stranded costs associated with BLE and costs of issuances.  This proceeding is related to the proceeding seeking an administrative determination of the stranded costs associated with BLE that was the subject of the July 25, 2003 NJBPU vote.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its bondable stranded cost rate order authorizing the issuance of up to $152 million of transition bonds.

|On August 1, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of New Jersey's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and the NJBPU Final Decision and Order concerning the restructuring of ACE's electric utility business, ACE petitioned the NJBPU for the recovery of about $176.4 million in actual and projected deferred costs incurred by ACE over the four-year period August 1999 through July 31, 2003.  The requested 8.4% increase was to recover those deferred costs over a new four-year period beginning August 1, 2003 and to reset rates so that there would be no under-recovery of costs embedded in ACE's rates on or after that date.  ACE's recovery of the deferred costs is subject to review and approval by the NJBPU in accordance with EDECA.  An Initial Decision by the Administrative Law Judge was rendered on June 3, 2003.  The Initial Decision was consistent with the recommendations of the auditors hired by the NJBPU to audit ACE's deferral balances.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of EDECA and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from DPL until May 2004.  DPL has entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland. The settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.  In addition, the settlement provides for SOS to be procured from the wholesale marketplace and that DPL will be able to recover its costs of procurement and a return.

|2. | Subsidiaries of Conectiv, as lessee, have guaranteed residual values in excess of fair value related to certain equipment and fleet vehicles held through lease agreements.  As of September 30, 2003, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $5.2 million.  Assets leased under agreements subject to residual value guarantees are typically for a period ranging from 2 years to 10 years.  Historically, payments under the guarantee have not been made by the company as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, Conectiv believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.
|3. | Conectiv has performance guarantees of $5.2 million related to support equipment and other services.  Conectiv does not expect to fund the full amount of the exposure under the guarantee and as of September 30, 2003 the fair value of the obligation was not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|4. | Other Conectiv obligations represent a commitment for a subsidiary building lease of $4.4 million.

|Conectiv and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into various indemnification agreements related to purchase and sale agreements and other types of contractual agreements with vendors and other third parties. These indemnification agreements typically cover environmental, tax, litigation and other matters, as well as breaches of representations, warranties and covenants set forth in these agreements. Typically, claims may be made by third parties under these indemnification agreements over various periods of time depending on the nature of the claim.  The maximum potential exposure under these indemnification agreements can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount depending on the nature of the claim and the particular transaction. The total maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements is not estimable due to several factors, including uncertainty as to whether or when claims may be made under these indemnities.

|On June 25, 2003, Conectiv Energy entered into an agreement consisting of a series of energy contracts with an international investment banking firm with a senior unsecured debt rating of A+ / Stable from Standard & Poors (the "Counterparty"). The agreement is designed to more effectively hedge approximately fifty percent of Conectiv Energy's generation output and approximately fifty percent of its supply obligations, with the intention of providing Conectiv Energy with a more predictable earnings stream during the term of the agreement.The 35-month agreement consists of two major components: a fixed price energy supply hedge and a forward physical energy sale.The fixed price energy supply hedge will be used to reduce Conectiv Energy's financial exposure under its current supply commitment to DPL. Under this commitment, which extends through May 2006, Conectiv Energy is obligated to supply to DPL the electric power necessary to enable DPL to meet its Provider of Last Resort (POLR) load obligations. Under the energy supply hedge, the volume and price risks associated with fifty percent of the POLR load obligation are effectively transferred from Conectiv Energy to the Counterparty through a financial "contract-for-differences." The contract-for-differences establishes a fixed cost for the energy required by Conectiv Energy to satisfy fifty percent of the POLR load, and any deviations of the market price from the fixed price are paid by Conectiv Energy to, or are received by Conectiv Energy from, the Counterparty.  The contract does not cover the cost of capacity or ancillary services.  Under the forward physical energy sale, Conectiv Energy will receive a fixed monthly payment from the Counterparty.  This portion of the agreement is designed to hedge sales of approximately 50% of Conectiv Energy's generation output, and under assumed operating parameters and market conditions should effectively transfer this portion of the company's wholesale energy market risk to the Counterparty, while providing a more stable stream of revenues to Conectiv Energy. The 35-month agreement also includes several standard energy price swaps under which Conectiv Energy has locked in a sales price for approximately 50% of the output from its Edge Moor facility and has financially hedged other on-peak and off-peak energy price exposures in its portfolio to further reduce market price exposure.In total, the transaction is expected to improve Conectiv Energy's risk profile by providing hedges that are tailored to the characteristics of its generation fleet and its POLR supply obligation.
|During the first quarter of 2003, Conectiv Energy had a loss of $92.3 million, which includes the unfavorable impact of a $65.7 million loss resulting primarily from the cancellation of a combustion turbine (CT) contract with General Electric. The loss at the Pepco Holding level is $31.1 million, substantially lower than the Conectiv Energy loss due to the fair market adjustment recognized by Pepco Holding at the time of the acquisition of Conectiv as further discussed below. The loss also includes the unfavorable impact of net trading losses of $26.6 million that resulted from a dramatic rise in natural gas futures prices during February 2003, net of an after-tax gain of $15 million on the sale of a purchase power contract in February 2003. In response to the trading losses, in early March 2003, Pepco Holdings ceased all proprietary trading activities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|Conectiv Energy had entered into contracts for the delivery of seven combustion turbines (CTs).  These contracts included one with General Electric for the purchase of four CTs (the GE CTs). Through April 25, 2003, payments totaling approximately $131 million had been made for the GE CTs.As part of the acquisition of Conectiv by Pepco Holdings in August of 2002, the book value related to the CTs and associated equipment (including the payments already made as well as the future payments called for under thecontracts) was adjusted downward by approximately 35%, to the then-fair market value. Approximately $54 million of the August fair value adjustment was related to the GE CTs, and another $4 million of the adjustment was related to ancillary equipment. The adjustment was recorded by PepcoHoldings and was not pushed down to, and recorded by, Conectiv.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Because of uncertainty in the energy markets,the decline in the market for CTs and the current high level of capacity reserves within the PJM power pool, Conectiv Energy provided notice to General Electric canceling the contract for delivery of the GE CTs. The netunfavorable impact on Pepco Holdings of this cancellation, recorded in the first quarter 2003, is $31.1 million, comprised of the fees associated with cancellation of the GE CTs, allassociated site development and engineering costs and the costs associated with cancellation of ancillary equipment orders. The unfavorable impact of the cancellation specified above is also net of over $51 million in cashassociated with pre-payments on the GE CT orders, which General Electric is required to refund as a result of the cancellation. There was a positive cash impact in the second quarter related to this refund. The cancellation ofthe GE CTs and associated equipment is one of the steps being taken by the company to proactively deal with the risks it would otherwise have in the merchant energy sector.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|After the cancellation of the four General Electric CTs discussed above, Conectiv Energy continues to own three CTs which were delivered in 2002. The CTs have a carrying value of $52.5 million when adjusted to reflect the fairmarket adjustment made at the time Conectiv was acquired by Pepco Holdings. This fair market value adjustment was recorded by Pepco Holdings and was not pushed down to, and recorded by Conectiv. Due to the decline in wholesale energy prices, further analysis of energy markets and projections of future demand for electricity, among other factors, Conectiv delayed the construction and installation of these CTs. Whether these turbines will be installed and the actual location and timing of the construction and installation will be determined by market demand or transmission system needs and requirements.

|Under settlements approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the Delaware Public Service Commission, DPL is required to provide standard offer electricity service at specified rates to residential customers in Maryland until May 2004 and to non-residential customers in Maryland until July 2003 and to provide default electricity service at specified rates to customers in Delaware until May 2006.  It is currently expected that DPL will also provide default electric service at specified rates to customers in Virginia until July 2007.  However, the Virginia State Corporation Commission could terminate the obligation for some or all classes of customers sooner if it finds that an effectively competitive market exists.  Subsidiaries of Conectiv Energy Holding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Conectiv, supply all of DPL's standard offer and default service load requirements under a supply agreement that ends May 31, 2006.  The terms of the supply agreement are structured to coincide with DPL's load requirements under each of its regulatory settlements.  DPL purchases gas supplies for its customers from marketers and producers in the current market and under short-term and long-term agreements.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Examples of estimates used by DPL include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, and unbilled revenue.  Although DPL believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available.

|In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143 entitled "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which was adopted by DPL on January 1, 2003.  This Statement establishes the accounting and reporting standards for measuring and recording asset retirement obligations.  DPL has identified $179.6 million and $173.2 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, in asset removal costs that are not legal obligations pursuant to the statement.  These removal costs have been accrued and are embedded in accumulated depreciation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

These provisions expand those required by FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," by requiring a guarantor to recognize a liability on its balance sheet for the fair value of obligation it assumes under certain guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor's performance under the guarantee is remote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|DPL has guaranteed residual values related to certain lease agreements for equipment and fleet vehicles under which the Company has guaranteed the portion of residual value in excess of fair value of assets leased. As of September 30, 2003, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $2.5 million.  Assets leased under agreements subject to residual value guarantees are typically for a period ranging from 2 years to 10 years.  Historically, payments under the guarantee have not been made by the Company as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, the Company believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.

The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for DPL), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46. DPL's assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, DPL does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|During the third quarter of 2003 DPL implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in DPL's reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" ("TOPrS") on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on DPL's results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|DPL has a wholly owned financing subsidiary trust that has common and preferred trust securities outstanding and holds Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of DPL.  DPL owns all of the common securities of the trust, which constitute approximately 3% of the liquidation amount of all of the trust securities issued by the trust.  The trust uses interest payments received on the Debentures, which are the trust's only assets, to make cash distributions on the trust securities.  DPL's obligations pursuant to the Debentures and guarantees of distributions with respect to the trust's securities, to the extent the trust has funds available therefore, constitute full and unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the trust under the trust securities the trusts have issued.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|For consolidated financial reporting purposes, the Debentures are eliminated in consolidation against the trust's investment in the Debentures.

|On March 31, 2003, DPL filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission for a gas base rate increase of $16.8 million, or an increase of 12.7% in total operating revenue.  The filing included a request for a ROE of 12.5%.  DPL is currently authorized a ROE of 11.5% in Delaware. This is the first increase requested for its gas distribution since 1994. DPL has exercised its statutory right to place an interim base rate increase of $2.5 million or 1.9% into effect on May 30, 2003, subject to refund. On October 7, 2003 a settlement agreement of all parties was filed with the DPSC. The settlement provides for an annual increase in Gas Base Revenues of $7.75 million, with a 10.5% ROE.  This equates to a 5.8% increase in total revenues.  In addition, the Settlement provides for establishment of an Environmental Surcharge to recover costs associated with remediation of a Coal Gas Site and no refund of the previously implemented interim rate increase. On October 21, 2003 the Commission remanded the case back to Hearing Examiner to conduct an evening public hearing because a group of customers voiced a concern that they had not had an opportunity to be heard.  On Monday, November 3, 2003, this hearing was held.  The Hearing Examiner will now issue his report on the settlement that was previously submitted to him that reflects a final $7.75 million gas base increase.  The Hearing Examiner's report will reflect whatever weight he assigns to the public hearing held on November 3.  It is expected that the Commission will deliberate on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on Tuesday, November 25, 2003.  In addition, an increase to the Company's Gas Cost Adjustment was effective on November 1, 2003.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from DPL until May 2004 (non-residential) and July 2004 (residential).  DPL has entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland. The settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.  In addition, the settlement provides for SOS to be procured from the wholesale marketplace and that DPL will be able to recover its costs of procurement and a return.

|ACE is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in southern New Jersey. Default service obligations, known as Basic Generation Service (BGS) were supplied for the period August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003 by the following sources. Approximately 80% of the ACE's BGS load was supplied by the winning bidders of the BGS auction.  The remaining 20% of ACE's BGS load was supplied utilizing ACE's to be divested fossil fired units (prior to divestiture of the units) and ACE's NUG contracts, to the extent such electric generating plants were not sufficient to satisfy such load. Any excess energy available from these sources was sold to the market to offset the BGS supply costs.  Effective August 1, 2003, 100% of the BGS load is supplied by the winning bidders of the 2003 BGS auction with 100% of the capacity and energy available from the NUG contracts sold to the market to offset the NUG contract costs.  ACE is providing 500 MW of capacity credits to the winning bidders of the 2003 BGS auction.  The energy associated with these capacity credits is sold to the market with the revenues used to offset the operating costs of the fossil units. In January 2003, ACE terminated its competitive bidding process to sell these generation units.  ACE's regulated service area covers about 2,700 square miles within the southern one-third of New Jersey and has a population of approximately 0.9 million.

|The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2002.  In management's opinion, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly ACE's financial position as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, in accordance with GAAP.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates used by ACE include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, and unbilled revenue. Although ACE believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available.

|ACE has applied the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," to its agreements that contain guarantee and indemnification clauses. These provisions expand those required by FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," by requiring a guarantor to recognize a liability on its balance sheet for the fair value of obligation it assumes under certain guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor's performance under the guarantee is remote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|ACE has guaranteed residual values related to certain lease agreements for equipment and fleet vehicles under which the Company has guaranteed the portion of residual value in excess of fair value of assets leased. As of September 30, 2003, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $2.7 million.  Assets leased under agreements subject to residual value guarantees are typically for a period ranging from 2 years to 10 years.  Historically, payments under the guarantee have not been made by the Company as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, the Company believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for ACE), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.  ACE's assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, ACE does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|During the third quarter of 2003 ACE implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in ACE's reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" ("TOPrS") on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on ACE's results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|ACE has wholly owned financing subsidiary trusts which have common and preferred trust securities outstanding and hold Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of ACE.  ACE owns all of the common securities of the trusts, which constitute approximately 3% of the liquidation amount of all of the trust securities issued by the trusts.  The trusts use interest payments received on the Debentures, which are the trusts' only assets, to make cash distributions on the trust securities.  The obligations of ACE pursuant to the Debentures and guarantees of distributions with respect to the trusts' securities, to the extent the trusts have funds available therefore, constitute full and unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the trusts under the trust securities the trusts have issued.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|For consolidated financial reporting purposes, the Debentures are eliminated in consolidation against the trust's investment in the Debentures.  The preferred trust securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the Debentures at maturity or upon redemption.  The Debentures mature in 2028.  The Debentures are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of ACE, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

Thus, as a Conectiv subsidiary, no business segment information (as defined by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information") is available for ACE on a stand-alone basis.

|On February 3, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates in New Jersey.  The petition seeks a rate increase of approximately $68.4 million in electric delivery revenues, which equates to an increase in average total electricity rates of 6.9 percent overall. This is the first increase requested for electric distribution rates since 1991 and requests continuation of the currently authorized 12.5% Return on Equity (ROE).  Of the $68.4 million increase requested, $63.4 is related to an increase in ACE's distribution rates. The remaining $5.0 million of ACE's request is related to the recovery of regulatory assets through ACE's Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC).  The recovery of regulatory assets is requested over a four-year period, including carrying costs.  The RARC request was subsequently modified to $4.2 million since some of the costs included in the original filing were no longer being incurred by ACE.  The revised total revenue request was $67.6 million.  On October 28, 2003, ACE filed a required update to reflect actuals for the entire test year.  By updating forecasted data and making corrections that were identified in discovery or the updating process, the revised increase is $36.8 million, plus a RARC of $4.5 million, for a total increase request of $41.3 million.   By Order dated July 31, 2003 in another matter, the NJBPU moved consideration of approximately $25.4 million of deferred restructuring costs into this proceeding.  These deferred restructuring costs are subject to deferred accounting through the Basic Generation Service, Net Non-Utility Generation Charge, Market Transition Charge and Societal Benefits Charge of the Company's tariffs.  In the October 28, 2003, update to the base case ACE filed testimony supporting the recovery of $31 million in deferred costs transferred to the Base Case from the deferral case.  Of these costs, $3.7 million are associated with the Company's Basic Generation Service (BGS) activities and $27.3 million of the costs are restructuring transition-related costs.  The filing also supported recovery of $5.1 million in transaction costs related to the fossil generation divestiture efforts.  If recovery of the $ 36.1 million is approved, it is expected that recovery, with interest, will continue to be subject to deferred accounting through the above listed components of ACE's tariffs over a period of time as determined by the NJBPU.  A schedule has been set which would make possible a final order in mid 2004. ACE cannot predict at this time the outcome of this filing.

|On January 31, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking an administrative determination of stranded costs associated with the B. L. England ("BLE") generating facility.  The net after tax stranded costs included in the petition were approximately $151 million.  An administrative determination of the stranded costs is needed due to the cancelled sale of the plant.  On July 25, 2003 the NJBPU rendered an oral decision approving the administrative determination of stranded costs at a level of $149.5 million.  As a result of this order, ACE reversed $10.0 million ($5.9 million after-tax) of previously accrued liability for possible disallowance of stranded costs.  This credit to expense is classified as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings because the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge resulting from the discontinuation of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" in conjunction with the deregulation of ACE's energy business in September 1999.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|On February 5, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order on its own initiative seeking input from ACE and the Ratepayer Advocate within 10 days as to whether and by how much to cut the 13% pre-tax return that ACE was then authorized to earn on BLE.  ACE responded on February 18 with arguments that: 1) reduced costs to ratepayers could be achieved legally through timely approvals by the NJBPU of the stranded cost filing made by ACE on January 31, 2003, and a securitization filing made the week of February 10; and 2) it would be unlawful, perhaps unconstitutional, and a breach of settlement and prior orders for the NJBPU to deny a fair recovery on prudently incurred investment and to do so without evidentiary hearings or other due process.  On April 21, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order making the return previously allowed on BLE interim, as of the date of the order, and directing that the issue of the appropriate return for BLE be included in the stranded cost proceeding.  On July 25, 2003, the NJBPU voted to approve a pre-tax return reflecting a 9.75% Return on Equity for the period April 21, 2003 through August 1, 2003.  The rate from August 1, 2003 through such time as ACE securitizes the stranded costs will be 5.25%, which the NJBPU represents as being approximately equivalent to the securitization rate.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its written order memorializing its July 25, 2003 decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|On February 14, 2003, ACE filed a Bondable Stranded Costs Rate Order Petition with the NJBPU.  The petition requested authority to issue $160 million of Transition Bonds to finance the recovery of stranded costs associated with BLE and costs of issuances.  This proceeding is related to the proceeding seeking an administrative determination of the stranded costs associated with BLE that was the subject of the July 25, 2003 NJBPU vote.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its bondable stranded cost rate order authorizing the issuance of up to $152 million of transition bonds.

|On August 1, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of New Jersey's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and the NJBPU Final Decision and Order concerning the restructuring of ACE's electric utility business, ACE petitioned the NJBPU for the recovery of about $176.4 million in actual and projected deferred costs incurred by ACE over the four-year period August 1999 through July 31, 2003.  The requested 8.4% increase was to recover those deferred costs over a new four-year period beginning August 1, 2003 and to reset rates so that there would be no under-recovery of costs embedded in ACE's rates on or after that date.  ACE's recovery of the deferred costs is subject to review and approval by the NJBPU in accordance with EDECA.  An Initial Decision by the Administrative Law Judge was rendered on June 3, 2003.  The Initial Decision was consistent with the recommendations of the auditors hired by the NJBPU to audit ACE's deferral balances.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of EDECA and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|Atlantic City Electric Transition Funding LLC (ACE Funding), a limited liability company established by Atlantic City Electric (ACE) under the laws of the State of Delaware, was formed on March 28, 2001 pursuant to a limited liability company agreement with ACE dated April 11, 2001 as amended, as sole member of ACE Funding.  ACE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Conectiv, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pepco Holdings, Inc., a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.  ACE is a public utility, which supplies and delivers electricity to its customers under the trade name Conectiv Power Delivery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|ACE Funding was organized for the sole purpose of purchasing and owning Bondable Transition Property (BTP), issuing transition bonds (Transition Bonds) to fund the purchasing of BTP, pledging its interest in BTP and other collateral to the Trustee to collateralize the Transition Bonds, and performing activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish these purposes. BTP represents the irrevocable right of ACE or its successor or assignee, to collect a non-bypassable transition bond charge (TBC) from customers pursuant to bondable stranded costs rate orders (BPU Financing Orders), issued by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) in accordance with the Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act enacted by the state of New Jersey in February 1999.                                                                                                                                                                    
|On September 20, 2002, a BPU Financing Order was issued to ACE authorizing the issuance of $440 million of Transition Bonds.  ACE Funding issued $440 million of Transition Bonds on December 19, 2002 and used to proceeds to purchase BTP from ACE. On September 25, 2003, a second BPU Financing Order was issued to ACE authorizing the issuance of up to $152 million of Transition Bonds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|ACE Funding's organizational documents require it to operate in a manner so that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of ACE in the event ACE becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.  Both ACE and ACE Funding will treat the transfer of the BTP to ACE Funding as a sale under the applicable law.

|For financial reporting, federal income tax and State of New Jersey income and corporation business tax purposes, the transfer of BTP to ACE Funding is being treated as a financing arrangement and not as a sale.  Furthermore, the results of operations of ACE Funding will be consolidated with ACE for financial and income tax reporting purposes.

|ACE Funding's unaudited financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2002.  In management's opinion, the financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly ACE Funding's financial position as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2003.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Although ACE Funding believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for ACE Funding), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.

|In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation, formerly Southern Energy, Inc.  As part of the sale, Pepco entered into several ongoing contractual arrangements with Mirant and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Mirant").  On July 14, 2003, Mirant Corporation and most of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Under bankruptcy law, a debtor generally may, with authorization from a bankruptcy court, assume or reject executory contracts.  A rejection of an executory contract entitles the counterparty to file a claim as an unsecured creditor against the bankruptcy estate for damages incurred due to the rejection of the contract.  In a bankruptcy proceeding, a debtor can normally restructure some or all of its pre-petition liabilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|Depending on the outcome of the matters discussed below, the Mirant bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Pepco Holdings and Pepco.  However, management currently believes that Pepco Holdings and Pepco currently have sufficient cash, cash flow and borrowing capacity under their credit facilities and in the capital markets to be able to satisfy the additional cash requirements that may arise due to the Mirant bankruptcy.  Accordingly management does not anticipate that the Mirant bankruptcy will impair the ability of Pepco Holdings or Pepco to fulfill their contractual obligations or to fund projected capital expenditures.  On this basis, management currently does not believe that the Mirant bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of either company.

|As part of the asset purchase and sale agreement for the Pepco generation assets (the "Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement"), Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the "TPAs"). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its standard offer service obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its standard offer service obligations in the District of Columbia into January 2005, in each case at rates that were lower than the rates that Pepco charges to its customers.  The rates under the TPAs currently are less than the prevailing market rates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|On October 24, 2003, Pepco entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mirant Corporation and its affiliate Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP (the "Mirant Parties"), pursuant to which the Mirant Parties have agreed that they will assume both of the TPAs in exchange for Pepco's agreement to amend the TPAs, effective October 1, 2003, to increase the purchase price of energy under the TPAs.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties also agreed that Pepco will have an allowed, pre-petition general unsecured claim against each of the Mirant Parties in the amount of $105 million (the "Pepco TPA Claim").  Additionally, Pepco will have the right to assert the Pepco TPA Claim against other Mirant debtors.  The effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Settlement Agreement, including the Pepco TPA Claim, by an order of the Bankruptcy Court.  At a hearing on November 12, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court indicated it would approve the Settlement Agreement, subject to the parties agreeing on the forms of the applicable orders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the purchase price of energy would increase to $41.90 per megawatt hour during summer months (May 1 through September 30) and $31.70 per megawatt hour during winter months (October 1 through April 30) under the District of Columbia TPA and would increase to $46.40 per megawatt hour during summer months and $28.60 per megawatt hour during winter months under the Maryland TPA.  Under the amended TPAs, the purchase prices paid by Pepco for capacity in the District of Columbia and Maryland would remain $3.50 per megawatt hour and the charge paid by Pepco for certain ancillary services would remain $.50 per megawatt hour.  The revisions would result in an increase in the average purchase price to Pepco for energy from approximately 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour to an average purchase price of approximately 4.0 cents per kilowatt hour.  The revenues produced by the currently approved tariff rates that Pepco charges its customers for providing standard offer service average approximately 4.1 cents per kilowatt hour.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|The Settlement Agreement, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, would eliminate the price risk that Pepco would have incurred had the TPAs been rejected.  Pepco estimates that, if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the court, it will pay Mirant an additional $105 million for the purchase of energy over the remaining terms of the TPAs.  These payments will be offset by a reduction of payments by Pepco to customers for the period 2003 through 2006 of approximately $45 million pursuant to the generation procurement credit established pursuant to regulatory settlements entered into in the District of Columbia and Maryland under which Pepco and its customers share any margin between the price paid by Pepco to procure standard offer service and the price paid by customers for standard offer service.  As a result, Pepco currently anticipates that it will incur a net additional cash outlay of approximately $60 million due to the amendments of the respective TPAs.  The foregoing estimates are based on current service territory load served by competitive suppliers and by standard offer service and does not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to fluctuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|If the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected by Mirant, Pepco would be required to replace the electricity currently supplied under the TPAs, likely through one or more supply contracts supplemented by market purchases. Pepco is confident that it would have alternative sources of supply sufficient to fulfill its standard offer service obligations to customers in Washington, D.C. which expire in February 2005 and Maryland at the end of June 2004. Pepco estimates that as of November 12, 2003, it would cost approximately $30 million for the remainder of 2003, $100 million in 2004 and $9 million in 2005 to replace, at a projected purchase price of approximately 4.7 cents per kilowatt hour, the electricity required to supply Pepco's standard offer service obligations in Maryland and the District of Columbia for the remainder of the respective terms of the TPAs.

|In summary, if the Settlement Agreement is approved, or if the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected, Pepco's earnings in the future will be lower.

|There is no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Settlement Agreement.  If the Settlement Agreement is approved, the amount, if any, that Pepco will be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim will depend on the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors.  At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate.  Accordingly, no receivable has been recorded in Pepco's accounting records.  Any recovery would be subject to the generation procurement credit.

|Under agreements with FirstEnergy Corp., formerly Ohio Edison ("FirstEnergy"), and Allegheny Energy, Inc., both entered into in 1987, Pepco is obligated to purchase from FirstEnergy 450 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through December 2005 (the "FirstEnergy PPA"). Under an agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), entered into in 1991, Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021 (the "Panda PPA"). In each case, the purchase price is substantially in excess of current market prices. As a part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant. Under this arrangement, Mirant is obligated, among other things, to purchase from Pepco the capacity and energy that Pepco is obligated to purchase under the FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA at a price equal to the price Pepco is obligated to pay under the PPAs (the "PPA-Related Obligations").

|When Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition on July 14, 2003, Mirant had unpaid obligations to Pepco of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of payments due Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations (the "Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations").  The Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding.  Pepco will file a claim against the Mirant bankruptcy estate to recover the full amount of this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain.  In view of this uncertainty, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million ($8.7 million after-tax) to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant.  The amount expensed represents Pepco's current estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recoverable could be higher or lower.

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Mirant's motion also sought injunctions to prohibit Pepco from initiating, or encouraging any person or entity to initiate, any proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") that seek to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and to prohibit FERC from taking any action to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On September 25, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order stating that it was not necessary to issue an injunction against Pepco because the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code prohibit Pepco from commencing or continuing any judicial or administrative proceedings against Mirant.  The Bankruptcy Court's order did grant a preliminary injunction that prohibits FERC from (i) taking any action to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the PPA-Related Obligations or commencing or continuing any proceeding outside of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the PPA-Related Obligations and (ii) taking any action, or encouraging any person or entity to take an action, to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the TPAs. The Bankruptcy Court also ordered Mirant to continue to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and its obligations under the TPAs until relieved of those obligations by an order of an appropriate court.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|Upon motions filed by Pepco and FERC, on October 9, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "District Court") withdrew jurisdiction over both the rejection and preliminary injunction proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  On October 30, Pepco submitted to the District Court its opposition to Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  FERC filed a brief in support of Pepco's position on the same date.  In addition, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners filed an amicus brief in support of Pepco's position on October 30, 2003.  On November 6, Mirant submitted its reply to Pepco's opposition and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation filed a brief in support of Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations in order to protect the interests of its customers and shareholders. While Pepco believes that it has substantial legal bases to oppose the attempt to reject the agreements, the outcome of the proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's September 25 order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings. However, if Mirant successfully rejects, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco would be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (the earliest possible effective date is September 18, 2003) and ending on the date Mirant is entitled to cease its purchases of energy and capacity from Pepco, all amounts paid by Mirant to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations, less an amount equal to the price at which Mirant resold the purchased energy and capacity.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant if rejection were permitted as indicated above, as of November 12, 2003, is approximately $21 million.  This repayment would entitle Pepco to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate in an amount equal to the amount repaid.  Mirant has also asked the Bankruptcy Court to require Pepco to disgorge such amounts accrued from July 14, 2003, the date on which Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition to September 18, 2003, on the theory that Mirant did not receive value for those payments.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant on the disgorgement theory is approximately $22.8 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its additional exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations is successful.  These estimates are based in part on current market prices and forward price estimates for energy and capacity, and do not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to significant fluctuation.  The estimates assume no recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate and no regulatory recovery, either of which would mitigate the effect of the estimated loss.  Pepco does not consider it realistic to assume that there will be no such recoveries.  Based on these assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure as of November 1, 2003, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from FirstEnergy commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 5.7 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2003, $75 million in 2004 and $65 million in 2005, the last year of the FirstEnergy PPA.

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from Panda commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 14.3 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 7.1 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $7 million for the remainder of 2003, $40 million in 2004, and $35 million in 2005 and approximately $35 million to $40 million annually thereafter through the 2021 contract termination date. For a discussion of a separate dispute with Panda regarding this agreement, see Part II, Item I, Legal Proceedings. Any potential liability in the Panda litigation would be encompassed within the estimated loss discussed above.

|Based on the foregoing assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure in respect of the rejection of the PPA-Related Obligations aggregates approximately $475 million on a net present value basis (based on a discount rate of 7.5 percent).

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations and damages if the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected will depend on whether Pepco's claims are allowed, the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors and Pepco's priority relative to other creditors. At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, whether the recovery would be in cash or another form of payment or the timing of any recovery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|If Mirant successfully rejects the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions to recover its additional costs. Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.  Under the provisions of the settlement agreements approved by the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions in the deregulation proceedings in which Pepco agreed to divest its generation assets under certain conditions, the PPAs were to become assets of Pepco's distribution business if they could not be sold. Pepco believes that, if Mirant is successful in its motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations, these provisions would allow the stranded costs of the PPAs that are not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate to be recovered ultimately through Pepco's distribution rates.  If Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements is confirmed, Pepco expects to be able to establish the amount of its anticipated recovery as a regulatory asset.  However, there is no assurance that Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements would be confirmed by the respective public service commissions.
|If the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected, and there is no regulatory recovery, Pepco will incur a loss.  However, the accounting treatment of such a loss depends on a number of legal and regulatory factors, and is not determinable at this time.

|As a term of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco assigned to Mirant a facility and capacity agreement with Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("SMECO") under which Pepco was obligated to purchase the capacity of an 84-megawatt combustion turbine installed and owned by SMECO at a former Pepco generating station (the "SMECO Agreement").  Pepco is responsible to SMECO for the performance of the SMECO Agreement if Mirant fails to perform its obligations thereunder.  At this time, Mirant continues to make post-petition payments due to SMECO.  The agreement remains in effect through 2015 and the capacity payment to SMECO is approximately $5.5 million annually.  The estimated cost to Pepco, net of estimated capacity and energy revenues, would be approximately $.5 million for the remainder of 2003, $3 million in 2004 and $2 million annually thereafter through 2015.

|The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has defined a company's most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, Pepco Holdings has identified the critical accounting policies and judgments as addressed below.

|The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pepco Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which Pepco Holdings has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially carried at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of the investees' undistributed earnings or losses and dividends.  Ownership interests in other entities of less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

|Pepco Holdings' management believes that based on the nature of the businesses that its subsidiaries operate, the Company has very little choice regarding the accounting policies it utilizes. For instance, approximately 70% of Pepco Holdings' business consists of its regulated utility operations, which are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71 "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." However, in the areas that Pepco Holdings is afforded accounting policy choices, management does not believe that the application of different accounting policies than those that it chose would materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates used by the Company include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, unbilled revenue, pension assumptions, fair values used in the purchase method of accounting and the resulting goodwill balance.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for Pepco Holdings), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.  Pepco Holdings' assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, Pepco Holdings does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                              
|During the third quarter of 2003 Pepco Holdings implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in Pepco Holdings' reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" and "Mandatorily Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock" on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on Pepco Holdings' results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.

|The increase in Pepco's operating revenue during the third quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from a $9.4 million increase due to a fuel tax pass through, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in Delivery revenue (revenue Pepco receives for delivering energy to its customers) and a $1.6 million decrease in SOS revenue (revenue Pepco receives for the procurement of energy by Pepco for its customers).  These decreases resulted from cooler weather during the third quarter of 2003.  Cooling degree days decreased by 19%, and delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2003.

|Pepco's retail access to a competitive market for generation services was made available to all Maryland customers on July 1, 2000 and to D.C. customers on January 1, 2001.  At September 30, 2003, 16% of Pepco's Maryland customers and 12% of its D.C. customers have chosen alternate suppliers.  These customers accounted for 987 megawatts of load in Maryland (of Pepco's total load of 3,439) and 1,018 megawatts of load in D.C. (of Pepco's total load of 2,269).  At September 30, 2002, 14% of Pepco's Maryland customers and 12% of its D.C. customers had chosen alternate suppliers.  These customers accounted for 1,134 megawatts of load in Maryland (of Pepco's total load of 3,369) and 1,195 megawatts of load in D.C. (of Pepco's total load of 2,326).
|The 2003 amounts for Conectiv Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy represent their operations for the entire period. The 2002 amounts represent only post-merger results and therefore the periods are not comparable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|The increase in Pepco Energy Services' operating revenue during the 2003 quarter was primarily due to growth in its retail natural gas business resulting from higher commodity volume that related to more commercial and industrial customers being served and to higher prices due to the natural gas wholesale market conditions.

|The decrease in Pepco's operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, resulted from the following:

|Delivery revenue (revenue Pepco receives for delivering energy to its customers) increased by $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  This increase results from a $9.7 million increase due to a fuel tax pass through, partially offset by an approximate $1.0 million decrease during the period due to the following:  during the third quarter of 2003, delivery revenue decreased by $5.4 million from cooler weather, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by 6%; and delivery revenue decreased by $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 due to unusually cool weather, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by approximately 4.6%.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $15.9 million from unusually cold weather during the first quarter of 2003, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales increased by approximately 11.6%.
|SOS revenue (revenue Pepco receives for the procurement of energy by Pepco for its customers) decreased by $2.9 million for the nine month period in 2003.  During the third quarter of 2003, SOS revenue decreased by $1.6 million from cooler weather, as cooling degree days decreased by 29% and heating degree days increased by 33%.  Additionally, SOS revenue decreased during the second quarter of 2003 by approximately $7.9 million due to unusually cool weather, as cooling degree days decreased by 37.2%.  These decreases were partially offset by a $6.6 million increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2003 from unusually cold weather, as heating degree days increased 31.7%.                                                                                                                                                                            
|Other revenue decreased $7.4 million primarily as a result of $6.8 million lower capacity available to sell, lower capacity market rates, and restructuring in the PJM market.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|The 2003 amounts for Conectiv Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy represent their operations for the entire period. The 2002 amounts represent only post-merger results and therefore the periods are not comparable.  Due to uncertainty in the energy markets, and current levels of capacity reserves within PJM, Conectiv Energy cancelled an order for four GE combustion turbines in the first quarter of 2003.  As a result, during the first quarter of 2003, Pepco Holdings recognized a net pre-tax write-off of $52.8 million ($31.1 million after-tax).  Additionally, Conectiv Energy lost $27 million after-tax resulting from net trading losses prior to the cessation of proprietary trading.  Including these unfavorable events, Conectiv Energy had a net loss o $62.0 million for the 2003 nine-month period.                                                        
|The increase in Pepco Energy Services' operating revenue during the nine month period ended 2003 primarily resulted from growth in its retail commodity business for sales of electricity and natural gas due to higher volume which resulted from more commercial and industrial customers being served and higher prices due to wholesale commodity market conditions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|The increase in Other Non-Regulated operating revenue during the 2003 nine month period was principally due to higher lease portfolio revenue of approximately $12.9 million derived from new energy leveraged leases entered into during 2002.

|Total consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003, were $1,782.0 million compared to $1,383.4 million for 2002. Intercompany expenses have been eliminated for purposes of this analysis. A detail of these amounts is as follows:

|The increase in Pepco's operating expenses during the 2003 quarter primarily resulted from an $11.2 million increase in fuel and purchased energy expense.  This was mostly due to a $14.5 million receivable reserve to reflect the potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp., for which Pepco will file a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceedings, partially offset by $3.3 million of lower SOS costs.  Also, the increase in Pepco's operating expenses was primarily due to storm restoration related expenses of $9.8 million, a $7.1 million increase in other taxes (primarily due to higher Fuel and Energy tax), and a $4.0 million increase in software amortization expenses.

|The 2003 amounts for Conectiv Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy represent their operations for the entire period. The 2002 amounts represent only post-merger results and therefore the periods are not comparable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|The increase in Pepco Energy Services' operating expenses during the 2003 quarter is primarily due to growth in its retail natural gas business from higher commodity volume related to more commercial and industrial customers being served and to higher prices due to the natural gas wholesale market conditions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|The decrease in Other Non-Regulated operating expenses during the 2003 quarter is principally due to the fact that during the third quarter of 2003 PCI recorded a pre-tax gain of $68.8 million on the sale of the Edison Place office building.

|Total consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, were $5,230.7 million compared to $2,293.8 million for 2002.

|The increase in Pepco's operating expenses during the nine month 2003 period primarily resulted from an increase of $24.3 million primarily due to pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) related costs of $14.7 million and $9.6 million in storm restoration expenses, a $10.5 million increase in software amortization, and an increase of $7.5 million in fuel and purchased energy expense (due to the $14.5 million Mirant receivable reserve, offset by $7.0 million in lower SOS costs).

|The 2003 amounts for Conectiv Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy represent their operations for the entire period. The 2002 amounts represent only post-merger results and therefore the periods are not comparable.  Due to uncertainty in the energy markets, and current levels of capacity reserves within PJM, Conectiv Energy cancelled an order for four GE combustion turbines in the first quarter of 2003.  As a result, during the first quarter of 2003, Pepco Holdings recognized a net pre-tax write-off of $52.8 million ($31.1 million after-tax).  Additionally, Conectiv Energy lost $27 million after-tax resulting from net trading losses prior to the cessation of proprietary trading.  Including these unfavorable events, Conectiv Energy had a net loss of $62.0 million for the 2003 nine-month period.
|The increase in Pepco Energy Services' operating expenses during the first nine months of 2003 primarily resulted from growth in its retail commodity business for sales of electricity and natural gas due to higher volume which resulted from more commercial and industrial customers being served and higher prices due to wholesale commodity market conditions.

|On July 25, 2003, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved the determination of stranded costs related to ACE's January 31, 2003, petition relating to its B.L.

|Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries rely on access to bank and capital markets as the primary sources of liquidity not satisfied by cash provided by its subsidiaries' operations.  The ability of Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries to borrow funds or issue securities, and the associated financing costs, are affected by the credit ratings of the issuing company.  Due to $538.1 million of cash provided by operating activities, $280.3 million of cash used by investing activities, and $141.2 million of cash used by financing activities, cash and cash equivalents increased by $116.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $199.1 million.

|On July 29, 2003, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into (i) a three-year working capital credit facility with an aggregate credit limit of $550 million and (ii) a 364-day working capital credit facility with an aggregate credit limit of $550 million.  Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these facilities is $700 million, and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE under these facilities is $300 million, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under these facilities may not exceed $400 million. Funds borrowed under these facilities are available for general corporate purposes.  Either credit facility also can be used as credit support for the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. These credit facilities replaced a $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility entered into on August 1, 2002.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|The three-year and 364-day credit agreements contain customary financial and other covenants that, if not satisfied, could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreements or restrict the ability of the companies to borrow under the agreements. Among these covenants is the requirement that each borrowing company maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of 65% or less, computed in accordance with the terms of the credit agreements. The credit agreements also contain a number of events of default that could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreements, including (i) the failure of any borrowing company or any of its significant subsidiaries to pay when due, or the acceleration of, certain indebtedness under other borrowing arrangements, (ii) certain bankruptcy events, judgments or decrees against any borrowing company or its significant subsidiaries, and (iii) a change in control (as defined in the credit agreements) of Pepco Holdings or the failure of Pepco Holdings to own all of the voting stock of Pepco, DPL and ACE.                                                                                                       
|The ability of the companies to borrow under the facilities and the availability of the facilities to support the issuance of commercial paper is subject to customary terms and conditions, including the requirement that each credit extension, together with other credit extensions outstanding under the facility, must not exceed such company's borrowing authority as allowed by all applicable governmental and regulatory authorities, and to the continuing accuracy of the representation and warranty that there has been no change in the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the borrowing company and its subsidiaries since December 31, 2002 (except as disclosed in such company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2003) that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of such company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|On August 22, 2003, Pepco entered into a $100 million term loan due March 30, 2004.  The loan is variable rate with the initial interest rate period being three months.  Proceeds were used to pay down Pepco commercial paper.  The loan agreement under which the term loan was made contains customary financial and other covenants that, if not satisfied, could result in the acceleration of Pepco's repayment obligations under the agreement. Among these covenants is the requirement that Pepco maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of 65% or less, computed in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The loan agreement also contains a number of events of default that could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreement, including (i) the failure of Pepco or any of its significant subsidiaries to pay when due, or the acceleration of, certain indebtedness under other borrowing arrangements, (ii) certain bankruptcy events, judgments or decrees against Pepco or its significant subsidiaries, and (iii) a change in control of Pepco Holdings (as defined in the credit agreements) or the failure of Pepco Holdings to own all of the voting stock of Pepco.

|Because Pepco Holdings is a public utility holding company registered under PUHCA, it must obtain SEC approval to issue securities.  PUHCA also prohibits Pepco Holdings from borrowing from its subsidiaries.  Under an SEC Financing Order dated July 31, 2002 (the "Financing Order"), Pepco Holdings is authorized to issue equity, preferred securities and debt securities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3.5 billion through an authorization period ending June 30, 2005, subject to a ceiling on the effective cost of such funds. The external financing limit includes a short-term debt limitation of $2.5 billion, also subject to a ceiling on the effective cost of such funds.  Pepco Holdings is also authorized to enter into guarantees to third parties or otherwise provide credit support with respect to obligations of its subsidiaries for up to $3.5 billion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|The Financing Order requires that, in order to issue debt or equity securities, including commercial paper, Pepco Holdings must maintain a ratio of common stock equity to total capitalization (consisting of common stock, preferred stock, if any, long-term debt and short-term debt) of at least 30 percent.  At September 30, 2003, Pepco Holdings' common equity ratio was 32.0 percent, or approximately $193.4 million in excess of the 30 percent threshold.  The Financing Order also requires that all rated securities issued by Pepco Holdings be rated "investment grade" by at least one nationally recognized rating agency.  Accordingly, if Pepco Holdings' common equity ratio were less than 30 percent or if no nationally recognized rating agency rated a security investment grade, Pepco Holdings could not issue the security without first obtaining from the SEC an amendment to the Financing Order.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|If an amendment to the Financing Order is required to enable Pepco Holdings or any of its subsidiaries to effect a financing, there is no certainty that such an amendment could be obtained, as to the terms and conditions on which an amendment could be obtained or as to the timing of SEC action.  The failure to obtain timely relief from the SEC, in such circumstances, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries.

|Pepco Holdings has received PUHCA authorization to establish the Pepco Holdings System money pool.  The money pool provides financial flexibility and lowers the cost of borrowing.  Certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings are eligible to participate in the money pool.  Eligible subsidiaries with surplus cash may deposit those funds in the money pool.  Eligible subsidiaries with cash deficits may borrow from the money pool.  Pepco Holdings deposits funds in the money pool to the extent that the pool has insufficient funds to meet the borrowing needs of its participants.  Therefore, to the extent Pepco Holdings must borrow these funds from external sources, Pepco Holdings' external borrowing requirement fluctuates based on the amount of funds deposited in the money pool.  Pepco Holdings may not borrow from the money pool. Borrowings from the money pool are unsecured.  Deposits in the money pool are guaranteed by Pepco Holdings.  Depositors in the money pool receive and borrowers from the money pool pay an interest rate based primarily on Pepco Holdings' short-term borrowing rate.

|Pepco Holdings' construction expenditures totaled $442.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. For the five-year period 2003 through 2007, construction expenditures are projected to total approximately $2.2 billion, of which approximately $1.7 billion is related to the Power Delivery segments.  Pepco Holdings expects to fund these expenditures through internally generated cash from the power delivery businesses and further drawdowns on the construction revolver for Conectiv Bethlehem.  In connection with the Conectiv Bethlehem revolving construction credit facility, Conectiv provides a guarantee associated with Conectiv Energy's agreement to purchase energy and capacity from Conectiv Bethlehem and other guarantees related to obligations of Conectiv subsidiaries under agreements related to constructing and operating the Conectiv Bethlehem mid-merit project. Generally, Conectiv's guarantee obligations will not exceed the amount of the debt outstanding under the credit facility and do not guarantee Conectiv Bethlehem's obligation to repay the debt. If Conectiv's credit ratings fall below the "Minimum Ratings Requirement" specified by the credit agreement, then, in an amount equal to Conectiv's outstanding guarantees, Conectiv is required to either: (i) deposit cash, (ii) obtain a letter of credit, or (iii) have another qualified party provide such guarantees. The "Minimum Ratings Requirement" of the credit agreement is not met if Conectiv's unsecured senior long-term debt (i) is rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) or BBB- by Standard & Poors (S&P) or (ii) Conectiv's unsecured senior long-term debt is rated Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by S&P and Conectiv receives a "negative outlook" or is placed on "credit watch negative" by Moody's or S&P.
|The Conectiv Bethlehem credit agreement contains a number of events of default that could be triggered by defaults on Conectiv or Conectiv Bethlehem debt, bankruptcy, Conectiv Bethlehem's loss of collateral, defaults by Conectiv Bethlehem under Conectiv Bethlehem project agreements such as the power purchase agreement between Conectiv Energy and Conectiv Bethlehem, and material adverse changes in Conectiv Bethlehem's regulatory status.

|(1) Includes all contracts held for trading.  Contracts that are marked-to-market through earnings under 
      SFAS No. 133 have been reclassified to "Other Energy Commodity" if their purpose was not speculative.  
      The arbitrage activities and interpool and intrapool short term transactions of the 24-Hour Power Desk, 
      which were formerly reported under "Proprietary Trading," have been retroactively moved to "Other 
      Unregulated Contracts."  Also $4.2 million of gross margin has been reclassified out of Proprietary 
      Trading related to the 24-Hour Power desk from the first quarter of 2003.

|(4) Conectiv Energy's proprietary trading experienced the majority of the $66.8 million negative gross margin 
      in the month of February during an extreme run-up in natural gas prices.  Conectiv Energy also sold a 
      purchased power contract in February that was positively affected by the commodity price run-up.  The 
      pre-tax gain on the sale of this contract was $24.7 million, and the gain is included in the accrual 
      section of the Other Energy Commodity column above because of the contract's classification as a normal 
      purchase.  The tax-effected gross margin for February 2003 Trading was approximately ($35 million) and 
      the tax-effected gain on the long-term power contract was approximately $15 million.  The net of these 
      numbers is the ($20 million) reported in the Form 8-K dated March 3, 2003.  Most of the remaining loss 
      occurred in January 2003.

|(a)   | Investment Grade - primarily determined using publicly available credit ratings of the counterparty.  If the counterparty has provided a guarantee by a higher-rated entity (e.g., its parent), determined based upon the rating of its guarantor.  Included in "Investment Grade" are counterparties with a minimum Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating of BBB- or Baa3, respectively.  If a split rating (i.e., rating not uniform between major rating agencies), present separately.

|(b)   | Exposure before credit collateral - includes the MTM energy contract net assets for open/unrealized transactions, the net receivable/payable for realized transactions and net open positions for contracts not subject to MTM.  Amounts due from counterparties are offset by liabilities payable to those counterparties to the extent that legally enforceable netting arrangements are in place.  Thus, this column presents the net credit exposure to counterparties after reflecting all allowable netting, but before considering collateral held.

|Note: | Pepco Holdings attempts to minimize credit risk exposure from its competitive wholesale energy counterparties through, among other things, formal credit policies, regular assessments of counterparty creditworthiness that result in the establishment of an internal credit quality score with a corresponding credit limit, monitoring procedures that include stress testing, the use of standard agreements which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty and collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and has established reserves for credit losses.

|Pepco Holdings' portfolio of electric generating plants includes "mid-merit" assets and peaking assets.  Mid-merit electric generating plants are typically combined cycle units, which can quickly change their MW output level on an economic basis.  These plants are generally operated during times when demand for electricity rises and power prices are higher. The above information represents a hedge position for a single point in time and does not reflect the ongoing transactions executed to carry a balanced position.  Pepco Holdings dynamically hedges both the estimated plant output and fuel requirements as the projected levels on output and fuel needs change.

|Pepco Holdings uses a value-at-risk(VaR) model to assess the market risk of its electricity, gas, coal, and petroleum product commodity activities. The model includes physical forward contracts used for hedging and trading, and commodity derivative instruments. Value-at-risk represents a confidence interval of the probability of experiencing a mark-to-market loss of no more than the indicated amount on instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period. Pepco Holdings estimates value-at-risk across its power, gas, coal, and petroleum products commodity business using a delta-gamma variance/covariance model with a 95 percent, one-tailed confidence level and assuming a one-day holding period. Since value-at-risk is an estimate, it is not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur.

|On February 3, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates in New Jersey.  The petition seeks a rate increase of approximately $68.4 million in electric delivery revenues, which equates to an increase in average total electricity rates of 6.9 percent overall. This is the first increase requested for electric distribution rates since 1991 and requests continuation of the currently authorized 12.5% ROE.  Of the $68.4 million increase requested, $63.4 is related to an increase in ACE's distribution rates. The remaining $5.0 million of ACE's request is related to the recovery of regulatory assets through ACE's Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC).  The recovery of regulatory assets is requested over a four-year period, including carrying costs.  The RARC request was subsequently modified to $4.2 million since some of the costs included in the original filing were no longer being incurred by ACE.  The revised total revenue request was $67.6 million.  On October 28, 2003, ACE filed a required update to reflect actuals for the entire test year.  By updating forecasted data and making corrections that were identified in discovery or the updating process, the revised increase is $36.8 million, plus a RARC of $4.5 million, for a total increase request of $41.3 million.   By Order dated July 31, 2003 in another matter, the NJBPU moved consideration of approximately $25.4 million of deferred restructuring costs into this proceeding.  These deferred restructuring costs are subject to deferred accounting through the Basic Generation Service, Net Non-Utility Generation Charge, Market Transition Charge and Societal Benefits Charge of the Company's tariffs.  In the October 28, 2003, update to the base case ACE filed testimony supporting the recovery of $31 million in deferred costs transferred to the Base Case from the deferral case.  Of these costs, $3.7 million are associated with the Company's Basic Generation Service (BGS) activities and $27.3 million of the costs are restructuring transition-related costs.  The filing also supported recovery of $5.1 million in transaction costs related to the fossil generation divestiture efforts.  If recovery of the $ 36.1 million is approved, it is expected that recovery, with interest, will continue to be subject to deferred accounting through the above listed components of ACE's tariffs over a period of time as determined by the NJBPU.  A schedule has been set which would make possible a final order in mid 2004. ACE cannot predict at this time the outcome of this filing.
|On March 31, 2003, DPL filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission for a gas base rate increase of $16.8 million, or an increase of 12.7% in total operating revenue.  The filing included a request for a ROE of 12.5%.  DPL is currently authorized a ROE of 11.5% in Delaware. This is the first increase requested for its gas distribution since 1994. DPL has exercised its statutory right to place an interim base rate increase of $2.5 million or 1.9% into effect on May 30, 2003, subject to refund. On October 7, 2003 a settlement agreement of all parties was filed with the DPSC. The settlement provides for an annual increase in Gas Base Revenues of $7.75 million, with a 10.5% ROE.  This equates to a 5.8% increase in total revenues.  In addition, the Settlement provides for establishment of an Environmental Surcharge to recover costs associated with remediation of a Coal Gas Site and no refund of the previously implemented interim rate increase. On October 21, 2003 the Commission remanded the case back to Hearing Examiner to conduct an evening public hearing because a group of customers voiced a concern that they had not had an opportunity to be heard.  On Monday, November 3, 2003, this hearing was held.  The Hearing Examiner will now issue his report on the settlement that was previously submitted to him that reflects a final $7.75 million gas base increase.  The Hearing Examiner's report will reflect whatever weight he assigns to the public hearing held on November 3.  It is expected that the Commission will deliberate on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on Tuesday, November 25, 2003.  In addition, an increase to the Company's Gas Cost Adjustment was effective on November 1, 2003.  This change, which is made on an annual basis, results from a filing made by the Company on August 29, 2003, and will be the subject of a regulatory review.

|On January 31, 2003, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking an administrative determination of stranded costs associated with the B. L. England ("BLE") generating facility.  The net after tax stranded costs included in the petition were approximately $151 million.  An administrative determination of the stranded costs is needed due to the cancelled sale of the plant.  On July 25, 2003 the NJBPU rendered an oral decision approving the administrative determination of stranded costs at a level of $149.5 million.  As a result of this order, ACE reversed $10.0 million ($5.9 million after-tax) of previously accrued liability for possible disallowance of stranded costs.  This credit to expense is classified as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings because the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge resulting from the discontinuation of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" in conjunction with the deregulation of ACE's energy business in September 1999.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|On February 5, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order on its own initiative seeking input from ACE and the Ratepayer Advocate within 10 days as to whether and by how much to cut the 13% pre-tax return that ACE was then authorized to earn on BLE.  ACE responded on February 18 with arguments that: 1) reduced costs to ratepayers could be achieved legally through timely approvals by the NJBPU of the stranded cost filing made by ACE on January 31, 2003, and a securitization filing made the week of February 10; and 2) it would be unlawful, perhaps unconstitutional, and a breach of settlement and prior orders for the NJBPU to deny a fair recovery on prudently incurred investment and to do so without evidentiary hearings or other due process.  On April 21, 2003, the NJBPU issued an order making the return previously allowed on BLE interim, as of the date of the order, and directing that the issue of the appropriate return for BLE be included in the stranded cost proceeding.  On July 25, 2003, the NJBPU voted to approve a pre-tax return reflecting a 9.75% Return on Equity for the period April 21, 2003 through August 1, 2003.  The rate from August 1, 2003 through such time as ACE securitizes the stranded costs will be 5.25%, which the NJBPU represents as being approximately equivalent to the securitization rate.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its written order memorializing its July 25, 2003 decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|On February 14, 2003, ACE filed a Bondable Stranded Costs Rate Order Petition with the NJBPU.  The petition requested authority to issue $160 million of Transition Bonds to finance the recovery of stranded costs associated with BLE and costs of issuances.  This proceeding is related to the proceeding seeking an administrative determination of the stranded costs associated with BLE that was the subject of the July 25, 2003 NJBPU vote.   On September 25, 2003 the NJBPU issued its bondable stranded cost rate order authorizing the issuance of up to $152 million of transition bonds

|On August 1, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of New Jersey's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and the NJBPU Final Decision and Order concerning the restructuring of ACE's electric utility business, ACE petitioned the NJBPU for the recovery of about $176.4 million in actual and projected deferred costs incurred by ACE over the four-year period August 1999 through July 31, 2003.  The requested 8.4% increase was to recover those deferred costs over a new four-year period beginning August 1, 2003 and to reset rates so that there would be no under-recovery of costs embedded in ACE's rates on or after that date.  ACE's recovery of the deferred costs is subject to review and approval by the NJBPU in accordance with EDECA.  An Initial Decision by the Administrative Law Judge was rendered on June 3, 2003.  The Initial Decision was consistent with the recommendations of the auditors hired by the NJBPU to audit ACE's deferral balances.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of EDECA and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|Final briefs on Pepco's District of Columbia divestiture proceeds sharing application were filed on July 31, 2002 following an evidentiary hearing in June 2002.  That application was filed to implement a provision of Pepco's D.C.  Commission approved divestiture settlement that provided for a sharing of any net proceeds from the sale of its generation related assets.  A principal issue in the case is whether a sharing between customers and shareholders of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits associated with the sold assets would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations.  On March 4, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that is relevant to that principal issue.  Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties on June 2, 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing on June 25, 2003.  Three of the parties in the case filed comments urging the D. C. Commission to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule.  Pepco filed comments in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules.  Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the D.C. Commission to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential exists that Pepco could be required to make additional gain sharing payments to D.C. customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition. It is uncertain when the D.C. Commission will issue a decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|Pepco filed its divestiture proceeds plan application in Maryland in April 2001. Reply briefs were filed in May 2002 and Pepco is awaiting a Proposed Order from the Hearing Examiner.  The principal issue in the case is the same normalization issue that was raised in the D.C. case.  Following the filing of comments by Pepco and two other parties, the Hearing Examiner on April 8, 2003: (1) postponed his earlier decision establishing briefing dates on the question of the impact of the proposed rules on the tax issues until after the June 5, 2003 public hearing on the IRS NOPR;(2) allowed the Staff of the Commission and any other parties to submit motions by April 21, 2003 relating to the interpretation of current tax law as set forth in the preamble to the proposed rules and the effect thereof on the tax issues; and (3) allowed Pepco and any other party to file a response to any motion filed by Staff and other parties by April 30, 2003.  Staff filed a motion on April 21, 2003, in which it argued that immediate flow through to customers of a portion of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits can be authorized now based on the NOPR.  Pepco filed a response in opposition to Staff's motion on April 30, 2003, in which, among other things, Pepco argued that no action should be taken on the basis of proposed regulations because, as Pepco stated in a similar pleading in the District of Columbia divestiture proceeds case, proposed regulations are not authoritative.  The Hearing Examiner will issue a ruling on Staff's motion, although there is no time within which he must issue a ruling.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential also exists that Pepco would be required to make additional gain sharing payments to Maryland customers.

|On February 21, 2003, the D.C. Public Service Commission opened a new proceeding to consider issues relating to (a) the establishment of terms and conditions for providing SOS in the District of Columbia after Pepco's obligation to provide SOS terminates on February 7, 2005, and (b) the selecting of a new SOS provider. Pepco and other parties filed comments on issues identified by the Commission and some parties suggested additional issues. In its comments, Pepco, among other things, suggested that the D.C. law be changed to allow Pepco to continue to be the SOS provider after February 7, 2005. Under existing law, the Commission is to adopt, before January 2, 2004, terms and conditions for SOS and for the selection of a new SOS provider. The Commission is also required, under existing law, to select the new SOS provider before July 2004. Existing law also allows the selection of Pepco as the SOS provider in the event of insufficient bids.  At a prehearing conference held on May 15, 2003, the Commission agreed with the recommendations of all but one of the parties to allow a working group, like the one that has been meeting in Maryland, to develop for the Commission's consideration regulations setting the terms and conditions for the provision of SOS service and for the selection of an SOS provider after Pepco's obligation ends in early 2005.  However, by order issued on June 24, 2003, the Commission decided that all participating parties should individually propose, by August 29, 2003, regulations setting forth such terms and conditions.  The Commission would then issue proposed regulations by September 30, 2003 and allow initial and reply comments from interested parties to be filed by October 30 and November 17, 2003, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On September 29, 2003, the Commission issued draft proposed regulations setting forth terms and conditions for the selection of a new SOS provider(s) and/or the continuation of Pepco as the SOS provider as part of the contingency plan.  Pepco and other parties submitted comments on the draft regulations and the Commission is scheduled to issue final regulations by January 2, 2004.  The Commission has submitted legislation to the relevant City Council Committee which would provide the Commission with the flexibility to select a SOS provider(s) other than Pepco or Pepco, or perhaps some combination of Pepco and other SOS providers.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from Pepco until July 2004 and from DPL until May 2004 (non-residential) and July 2004 (residential).  Pepco and DPL have entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland. The settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.  In addition, the settlement provides for SOS to be procured from the wholesale marketplace and that Pepco and DPL will be able to recover its costs of procurement and a return.

The Phase II settlement provides a detailed process to implement the policies approved in Phase I.

|1. | Pepco Holdings and Conectiv have contractual commitments for performance and related payments of Conectiv Energy, Pepco Energy Services, and Pepco to counter parties related to routine energy trading and procurement obligations, including requirements under BGS contracts for ACE.

|2. | Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $41.0 million on behalf of subsidiaries operations related to Conectiv Energy's competitive energy activities and third party construction performance.  These standby letters of credit were put into place in order to allow the subsidiaries flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post substantial cash collateral. While the exposure under these standby letters of credit is $41.0 million, Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount.  As of September 30, 2003, the fair value of obligations under these standby letters of credit was not required to be recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
|3. | Subsidiaries of Conectiv have guaranteed residual values in excess of fair value related to certain equipment and fleet vehicles held through lease agreements. As of September 30, 2003, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $5.2 million.  Assets leased under agreements subject to residual value guarantees are typically for periods ranging from 2 years to 10 years.  Historically, payments under the guarantee have not been made by the company as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, Conectiv believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.                                         
|4. | Pepco Holdings has issued a guarantee on the behalf of a subsidiary's 50% unconsolidated investment in a limited liability company for repayment borrowings under a loan agreement of approximately $13.1 million.

|Pepco Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into various indemnification agreements related to purchase and sale agreements and other types of contractual agreements with vendors and other third parties. These indemnification agreements typically cover environmental, tax, litigation and other matters, as well as breaches of representations, warranties and covenants set forth in these agreements. Typically, claims may be made by third parties under these indemnification agreements over various periods of time depending on the nature of the claim.  The maximum potential exposure under these indemnification agreements can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount depending on the nature of the claim and the particular transaction. The total maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements is not estimable due to several factors, including uncertainty as to whether or when claims may be made under these indemnities.

|In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation, formerly Southern Energy, Inc.  As part of the sale, Pepco entered into several ongoing contractual arrangements with Mirant and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Mirant").  On July 14, 2003, Mirant Corporation and most of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Under bankruptcy law, a debtor generally may, with authorization from a bankruptcy court, assume or reject executory contracts.  A rejection of an executory contract entitles the counterparty to file a claim as an unsecured creditor against the bankruptcy estate for damages incurred due to the rejection of the contract.  In a bankruptcy proceeding, a debtor can normally restructure some or all of its pre-petition liabilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|Depending on the outcome of the matters discussed below, the Mirant bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Pepco.  However, management currently believes that Pepco currently has sufficient cash, cash flow and borrowing capacity under its credit facilities and in the capital markets to be able to satisfy the additional cash requirements that may arise due to the Mirant bankruptcy.  Accordingly management does not anticipate that the Mirant bankruptcy will impair the ability of Pepco to fulfill its contractual obligations or to fund projected capital expenditures.  On this basis, management currently does not believe that the Mirant bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Pepco.

|As part of the asset purchase and sale agreement for the Pepco generation assets (the "Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement"), Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the "TPAs"). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its standard offer service obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its standard offer service obligations in the District of Columbia into January 2005, in each case at rates that were lower than the rates that Pepco charges to its customers.  The rates under the TPAs currently are less than the prevailing market rates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|On October 24, 2003, Pepco entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mirant Corporation and its affiliate Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP (the "Mirant Parties"), pursuant to which the Mirant Parties have agreed that they will assume both of the TPAs in exchange for Pepco's agreement to amend the TPAs, effective October 1, 2003, to increase the purchase price of energy under the TPAs.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties also agreed that Pepco will have an allowed, pre-petition general unsecured claim against each of the Mirant Parties in the amount of $105 million (the "Pepco TPA Claim").  Additionally, Pepco will have the right to assert the Pepco TPA Claim against other Mirant debtors.  The effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Settlement Agreement, including the Pepco TPA Claim, by an order of the Bankruptcy Court.  At a hearing on November 12, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court indicated it would approve the Settlement Agreement, subject to the parties agreeing on the forms of the applicable orders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the purchase price of energy would increase to $41.90 per megawatt hour during summer months (May 1 through September 30) and $31.70 per megawatt hour during winter months (October 1 through April 30) under the District of Columbia TPA and would increase to $46.40 per megawatt hour during summer months and $28.60 per megawatt hour during winter months under the Maryland TPA.  Under the amended TPAs, the purchase prices paid by Pepco for capacity in the District of Columbia and Maryland would remain $3.50 per megawatt hour and the charge paid by Pepco for certain ancillary services would remain $.50 per megawatt hour.  The revisions would result in an increase in the average purchase price to Pepco for energy from approximately 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour to an average purchase price of approximately 4.0 cents per kilowatt hour.  The revenues produced by the currently approved tariff rates that Pepco charges its customers for providing standard offer service average approximately 4.1 cents per kilowatt hour.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|The Settlement Agreement, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, would eliminate the price risk that Pepco would have incurred had the TPAs been rejected.  Pepco estimates that, if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the court, it will pay Mirant an additional $105 million for the purchase of energy over the remaining terms of the TPAs.  These payments will be offset by a reduction of payments by Pepco to customers for the period 2003 through 2006 of approximately $45 million pursuant to the generation procurement credit established pursuant to regulatory settlements entered into in the District of Columbia and Maryland under which Pepco and its customers share any margin between the price paid by Pepco to procure standard offer service and the price paid by customers for standard offer service.  As a result, Pepco currently anticipates that it will incur a net additional cash outlay of approximately $60 million due to the amendments of the respective TPAs.  The foregoing estimates are based on current service territory load served by competitive suppliers and by standard offer service and does not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to fluctuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|If the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected by Mirant, Pepco would be required to replace the electricity currently supplied under the TPAs, likely through one or more supply contracts supplemented by market purchases. Pepco is confident that it would have alternative sources of supply sufficient to fulfill its standard offer service obligations to customers in Washington, D.C. which expire in February 2005 and Maryland at the end of June 2004. Pepco estimates that as of November 12, 2003, it would cost approximately $30 million for the remainder of 2003, $100 million in 2004 and $9 million in 2005 to replace, at a projected purchase price of approximately 4.7 cents per kilowatt hour, the electricity required to supply Pepco's standard offer service obligations in Maryland and the District of Columbia for the remainder of the respective terms of the TPAs.

|In summary, if the Settlement Agreement is approved, or if the Settlement Agreement is not approved and the TPAs are successfully rejected, Pepco's earnings in the future will be lower.

|There is no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Settlement Agreement.  If the Settlement Agreement is approved, the amount, if any, that Pepco will be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim will depend on the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors.  At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate.  Accordingly, no receivable has been recorded in Pepco's accounting records.  Any recovery would be subject to the generation procurement credit.

|Under agreements with FirstEnergy Corp., formerly Ohio Edison ("FirstEnergy"), and Allegheny Energy, Inc., both entered into in 1987, Pepco is obligated to purchase from FirstEnergy 450 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through December 2005 (the "FirstEnergy PPA"). Under an agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), entered into in 1991, Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021 (the "Panda PPA"). In each case, the purchase price is substantially in excess of current market prices. As a part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant. Under this arrangement, Mirant is obligated, among other things, to purchase from Pepco the capacity and energy that Pepco is obligated to purchase under the FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA at a price equal to the price Pepco is obligated to pay under the PPAs (the "PPA-Related Obligations").

|When Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition on July 14, 2003, Mirant had unpaid obligations to Pepco of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of payments due Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations (the "Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations").  The Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding.  Pepco will file a claim against the Mirant bankruptcy estate to recover the full amount of this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain.  In view of this uncertainty, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million ($8.7 million after-tax) to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant.  The amount expensed represents Pepco's current estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recoverable could be higher or lower.

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Mirant's motion also sought injunctions to prohibit Pepco from initiating, or encouraging any person or entity to initiate, any proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") that seek to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and to prohibit FERC from taking any action to require Mirant to perform the PPA-Related Obligations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|On September 25, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order stating that it was not necessary to issue an injunction against Pepco because the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code prohibit Pepco from commencing or continuing any judicial or administrative proceedings against Mirant.  The Bankruptcy Court's order did grant a preliminary injunction that prohibits FERC from (i) taking any action to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the PPA-Related Obligations or commencing or continuing any proceeding outside of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the PPA-Related Obligations and (ii) taking any action, or encouraging any person or entity to take an action, to require or coerce Mirant to abide by the terms of the TPAs. The Bankruptcy Court also ordered Mirant to continue to perform the PPA-Related Obligations and its obligations under the TPAs until relieved of those obligations by an order of an appropriate court.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|Upon motions filed by Pepco and FERC, on October 9, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "District Court") withdrew jurisdiction over both the rejection and preliminary injunction proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  On October 30, Pepco submitted to the District Court its opposition to Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  FERC filed a brief in support of Pepco's position on the same date.  In addition, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners filed an amicus brief in support of Pepco's position on October 30, 2003.  On November 6, Mirant submitted its reply to Pepco's opposition and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation filed a brief in support of Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations in order to protect the interests of its customers and shareholders. While Pepco believes that it has substantial legal bases to oppose the attempt to reject the agreements, the outcome of the proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's September 25 order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings. However, if Mirant successfully rejects, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco would be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (the earliest possible effective date is September 18, 2003) and ending on the date Mirant is entitled to cease its purchases of energy and capacity from Pepco, all amounts paid by Mirant to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations, less an amount equal to the price at which Mirant resold the purchased energy and capacity.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant if rejection were permitted as indicated above, as of November 12, 2003, is approximately $21 million.  This repayment would entitle Pepco to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate in an amount equal to the amount repaid.  Mirant has also asked the Bankruptcy Court to require Pepco to disgorge such amounts accrued from July 14, 2003, the date on which Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition to September 18, 2003, on the theory that Mirant did not receive value for those payments.  Pepco estimates that the amount it would be required to repay to Mirant on the disgorgement theory is approximately $22.8 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its additional exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations is successful.  These estimates are based in part on current market prices and forward price estimates for energy and capacity, and do not include financing costs, all of which could be subject to significant fluctuation.  The estimates assume no recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate and no regulatory recovery, either of which would mitigate the effect of the estimated loss.  Pepco does not consider it realistic to assume that there will be no such recoveries.  Based on these assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure as of November 1, 2003, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from FirstEnergy commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 5.7 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2003, $75 million in 2004 and $65 million in 2005, the last year of the FirstEnergy PPA.

|· | If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from Panda commencing as of November 1, 2003, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 14.3 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 7.1 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $7 million for the remainder of 2003, $40 million in 2004, and $35 million in 2005 and approximately $35 million to $40 million annually thereafter through the 2021 contract termination date. For a discussion of a separate dispute with Panda regarding this agreement, see Part II, Item I, Legal Proceedings. Any potential liability in the Panda litigation would be encompassed within the estimated loss discussed above.

|Based on the foregoing assumptions, Pepco estimates that its pre-tax exposure in respect of the rejection of the PPA-Related Obligations aggregates approximately $475 million on a net present value basis (based on a discount rate of 7.5 percent).

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect of the Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations and damages if the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected will depend on whether Pepco's claims are allowed, the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors and Pepco's priority relative to other creditors. At the current stage of the bankruptcy proceeding, there is insufficient information to determine the amount, if any, that Pepco might be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, whether the recovery would be in cash or another form of payment or the timing of any recovery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|If Mirant successfully rejects the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions to recover its additional costs. Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.  Under the provisions of the settlement agreements approved by the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions in the deregulation proceedings in which Pepco agreed to divest its generation assets under certain conditions, the PPAs were to become assets of Pepco's distribution business if they could not be sold. Pepco believes that, if Mirant is successful in its motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations, these provisions would allow the stranded costs of the PPAs that are not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate to be recovered ultimately through Pepco's distribution rates.  If Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements is confirmed, Pepco expects to be able to establish the amount of its anticipated recovery as a regulatory asset.  However, there is no assurance that Pepco's interpretation of the settlement agreements would be confirmed by the respective public service commissions.
|If the PPA-Related Obligations are successfully rejected, and there is no regulatory recovery, Pepco will incur a loss.  However, the accounting treatment of such a loss depends on a number of legal and regulatory factors, and is not determinable at this time.

|The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has defined a company's most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of Pepco's financial condition and results of operations, and which require Pepco to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.

|Pepco's management believes that based on the nature of its business it has very little choice regarding the accounting policies it utilizes as Pepco's business consists of its regulated utility operations, which are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71 "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." However, in the areas that Pepco is afforded accounting policy choices, management does not believe that the application of different accounting policies than those that it chose would materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, such as Statement of Position 94-6 "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Examples of estimates used by Pepco include the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, environmental remediation costs and anticipated collections, unbilled revenue, and pension assumptions.

|On October 9, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 entitled "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)," deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.  The Staff Position defers the effective date of FIN 46 from the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (year end 2003 financial statements for Pepco), if both the variable interest entity was created before February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46, other than in the disclosures required by paragraph 26 of FIN 46.  Pepco's assessment of FIN 46 to date has identified some entities that may require deconsolidation.  However, Pepco does not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 46 will impact its overall financial condition or results of operations.                                                                                                                                                        
|During the third quarter of 2003 Pepco implemented SFAS No. 150 entitled "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."  This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  The Statement resulted in Pepco's reclassification of its "Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Which Holds Solely Parent Junior Subordinated Debentures" and "Mandatorily Redeemable Serial Preferred Stock" on its consolidated balance sheets to a long term liability classification.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 150, prior period amounts were not reclassified.  There was no impact on Pepco's results of operations from the implementation of this Statement.

|The increase in Pepco's operating revenue during the third quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from a $9.4 million increase due to a fuel tax pass through, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in Delivery revenue (revenue Pepco receives for delivering energy to its customers) and a $1.6 million decrease in SOS revenue (revenue Pepco receives for the procurement of energy by Pepco for its customers).  These decreases resulted from cooler weather during the third quarter of 2003.  Cooling degree days decreased by 19%, and delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2003.

|The decrease in Pepco's operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, resulted from the following:

|Delivery revenue (revenue Pepco receives for delivering energy to its customers) increased by $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  This increase results from a $9.7 million increase due to a fuel tax pass through, partially offset by an approximate $1.0 million decrease during the period due to the following:  during the third quarter of 2003, delivery revenue decreased by $5.4 million from cooler weather, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by 6%; and delivery revenue decreased by $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 due to unusually cool weather, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales decreased by approximately 4.6%.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $15.9 million from unusually cold weather during the first quarter of 2003, as delivered kilowatt-hour sales increased by approximately 11.6%.
|SOS revenue (revenue Pepco receives for the procurement of energy by Pepco for its customers) decreased by $2.9 million for the nine month period in 2003.  During the third quarter of 2003, SOS revenue decreased by $1.6 million from cooler weather, as cooling degree days decreased by 29% and heating degree days increased by 33%. Additionally, SOS revenue decreased during the second quarter of 2003 by approximately $7.9 million due to unusually cool weather as cooling degree days decreased by 37.2%.  These decreases were partially offset by a $6.6 million increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2003 from unusually cold weather, as heating degree days increased 31.7%.                                                                                                                                                                              
|Other revenue decreased $7.4 million primarily as a result of a $6.8 million lower capacity available to sell, lower capacity market rates, and restructuring in the PJM market.

|The increase in Pepco's operating expenses during the 2003 quarter primarily resulted from an $11.2 million increase in fuel and purchased energy expense.  This increase was mostly due to a $14.5 million receivable reserve to reflect the potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp., for which Pepco will file a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceeding, partially offset by $3.3 million of lower SOS costs.  Also, the increase in Pepco's operating expenses was primarily due to storm restoration related expenses of $9.8 million, and a $7.1 million increase in other taxes (primarily due to higher Fuel and Energy tax).

|Pepco relies on access to the bank and capital markets as the primary source of liquidity not satisfied by cash provided by its operations.

|The three-year and 364-day credit agreements contain customary financial and other covenants that, if not satisfied, could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreements or restrict the ability of the companies to borrow under the agreements. Among these covenants is the requirement that each borrowing company maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of 65% or less, computed in accordance with the terms of the credit agreements. The credit agreements also contain a number of events of default that could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreements, including (i) the failure of any borrowing company or any of its significant subsidiaries to pay when due, or the acceleration of, certain indebtedness under other borrowing arrangements, (ii) certain bankruptcy events, judgments or decrees against any borrowing company or its significant subsidiaries, and (iii) a change in control (as defined in the credit agreements) of Pepco Holdings or the failure of Pepco Holdings to own all of the voting stock of Pepco, DPL and ACE.

|On August 22, 2003, Pepco entered into a $100 million term loan due March 30, 2004.  The loan is variable rate with the initial interest rate period being three months.  Proceeds were used to pay down Pepco commercial paper.  The loan agreement under which the term loan was made contains customary financial and other covenants that, if not satisfied, could result in the acceleration of Pepco's repayment obligations under the agreement. Among these covenants is the requirement that Pepco maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of 65% or less, computed in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The loan agreement also contains a number of events of default that could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations under the agreement, including (i) the failure of Pepco or any of its significant subsidiaries to pay when due, or the acceleration of, certain indebtedness under other borrowing arrangements, (ii) certain bankruptcy events, judgments or decrees against Pepco or its significant subsidiaries, and (iii) a change in control of Pepco Holdings (as defined in the credit agreements) or the failure of Pepco Holdings to own all of the voting stock of Pepco.

|An SEC Financing Order dated July 31, 2002 (the "Financing Order"), requires that, in order to issue debt or equity securities, including commercial paper, Pepco must maintain a ratio of common stock equity to total capitalization (consisting of common stock, preferred stock, if any, long-term debt and short-term debt) of at least 30 percent.  At September 30, 2003, Pepco's common equity ratio was 43.2 percent, or approximately $309 million in excess of the 30 percent threshold.  The Financing Order also requires that all rated securities issued by Pepco be rated "investment grade" by at least one nationally recognized rating agency.  Accordingly, if Pepco's common equity ratio were less than 30 percent or if no nationally recognized rating agency rated a security investment grade, Pepco could not issue the security without first obtaining from the SEC an amendment to the Financing Order.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|If an amendment to the Financing Order is required to enable Pepco to effect a financing, there is no certainty that such an amendment could be obtained, as to the terms and conditions on which an amendment could be obtained or as to the timing of SEC action.

|Final briefs on Pepco's District of Columbia divestiture proceeds sharing application were filed on July 31, 2002 following an evidentiary hearing in June 2002.  That application was filed to implement a provision of Pepco's D.C.  Commission approved divestiture settlement that provided for a sharing of any net proceeds from the sale of its generation related assets.  A principal issue in the case is whether a sharing between customers and shareholders of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits associated with the sold assets would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations.  On March 4, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that is relevant to that principal issue.  Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties on June 2, 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing on June 25, 2003.  Three of the parties in the case filed comments urging the D. C. Commission to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule.  Pepco filed comments in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules.  Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the D.C. Commission to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential exists that Pepco could be required to make additional gain sharing payments to D.C. customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition. It is uncertain when the D.C. Commission will issue a decision.                                                                                                                                             
|Pepco filed its divestiture proceeds plan application in Maryland in April 2001. Reply briefs were filed in May 2002 and Pepco is awaiting a Proposed Order from the Hearing Examiner.  The principal issue in the case is the same normalization issue that was raised in the D.C. case.  Following the filing of comments by Pepco and two other parties, the Hearing Examiner on April 8, 2003: (1) postponed his earlier decision establishing briefing dates on the question of the impact of the proposed rules on the tax issues until after the June 25, 2003 public hearing on the IRS NOPR;(2) allowed the Staff of the Commission and any other parties to submit motions by April 21, 2003 relating to the interpretation of current tax law as set forth in the preamble to the proposed rules and the effect thereof on the tax issues; and (3) allowed Pepco and any other party to file a response to any motion filed by Staff and other parties by April 30, 2003.  Staff filed a motion on April 21, 2003, in which it argued that immediate flow through to customers of a portion of the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits can be authorized now based on the NOPR.  Pepco filed a response in opposition to Staff's motion on April 30, 2003, in which, among other things, Pepco argued that no action should be taken on the basis of proposed regulations because, as Pepco stated in a similar pleading in the District of Columbia divestiture proceeds case, proposed regulations are not authoritative.  The Hearing Examiner will issue a ruling on Staff's motion, although there is no time within which he must issue a ruling.  Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues deal with the inclusion of internal costs and cost allocations. Pepco believes that its calculation of the customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, the potential also exists that Pepco would be required to make additional gain sharing payments to Maryland customers. Such additional payments, which cannot be estimated, would be charged to expense and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the quarter and year in which a decision is rendered; however, Pepco does not believe that additional payments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition. It is uncertain when the Hearing Examiner or the Maryland Commission will issue their decisions.

|On February 21, 2003, the D.C. Public Service Commission opened a new proceeding to consider issues relating to (a) the establishment of terms and conditions for providing SOS in the District of Columbia after Pepco's obligation to provide SOS terminates on February 7, 2005, and (b) the selecting of a new SOS provider. Pepco and other parties filed comments on issues identified by the Commission and some parties suggested additional issues. In its comments, Pepco, among other things, suggested that the D.C. law be changed to allow Pepco to continue to be the SOS provider after February 7, 2005. Under existing law, the Commission is to adopt, before January 2, 2004, terms and conditions for SOS and for the selection of a new SOS provider. The Commission is also required, under existing law, to select the new SOS provider before July 2004. Existing law also allows the selection of Pepco as the SOS provider in the event of insufficient bids.  At a prehearing conference held on May 15, 2003, the Commission agreed with the recommendations of all but one of the parties to allow a working group, like the one that has been meeting in Maryland, to develop for the Commission's consideration regulations setting the terms and conditions for the provision of SOS service and for the selection of an SOS provider after Pepco's obligation ends in early 2005.  However, by order issued on June 24, 2003, the Commission decided that all participating parties should individually propose, by August 29, 2003, regulations setting forth such terms and conditions.  The Commission would then issue proposed regulations by September 30, 2003 and allow initial and reply comments from interested parties to be filed by October 30 and November 17, 2003, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|On September 29, 2003, the Commission issued draft proposed regulations setting forth terms and conditions for the selection of a new SOS provider(s) and/or the continuation of Pepco as the SOS provider as part of the contingency plan.  Pepco and other parties submitted comments on the draft regulations and the Commission is scheduled to issue final regulations by January 2, 2004.  The Commission has submitted legislation to the relevant City Council Committee which would provide the Commission with the flexibility to select a SOS provider(s) other than Pepco or Pepco, or perhaps some combination of Pepco and other SOS providers.

|In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the Maryland Commission, customers who are unable to receive generation services from another supplier, or who do not select another supplier, are entitled to receive services from Pepco until July 1, 2004.  Pepco has entered into a settlement in Phase I of Maryland Case No. 8908 to extend its provision of SOS services in Maryland.  The settlement was approved by the Maryland Commission on April 29, 2003.  One party has filed for rehearing of the Commission's April 29 order.  The Commission subsequently denied that application for rehearing on July 26, 2003.  The settlement provides for an extension of SOS for four years for residential and small commercial customers, an extension of two years for medium sized commercial customers, and an extension of one year for large commercial customers. The settlement also provides for a policy review by the Commission to consider how SOS will be provided after the current extension expires.  In addition, the settlement provides for SOS to be procured from the wholesale marketplace and that Pepco will be able to recover its costs of procurement and a return.

Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

|The increase in "Regulated electric revenues" primarily resulted from an increase of $110.1 million in interchange sales from ACE to PJM.  The New Jersey BPU mandated that each New Jersey utility participate in an auction to allow third-party energy suppliers to provide Basic Generation Service (BGS) to the customers in its territory.  As of August 1, 2002, approximately 80% of the customer MWH load which ACE was serving began to be served by other suppliers.  ACE now has generation to sell to PJM which previously was used to supply customers in the territory.  Regulated electric retail revenues increased $30.4 million.  The $30.4 million increase was attributed to (i) a $19.2 million retail revenue increase from higher retail sales due to colder winter weather, (ii) a $13.7 million increase from non-weather related residential and small commercial business growth, (iii) a $13.5 million increase due to higher retail rates, (iv) an $18.4 million decrease in retail revenues due to an increase in the number of customers who chose alternative suppliers, and (v) a $2.4 million increase from other variances.

|"Non-regulated electric revenues" for both periods presented reflect the effects of the netting of expenses with revenues for "energy trading book" contracts, per the provisions of EITF 02-3, as discussed in Note 3 to Conectiv's Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Conectiv 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The increase in "Non-regulated electric revenues" resulted from an increase of $341.3 million in wholesale business related primarily to a new contract resulting from the BGS auction held in February 2002 and increased sales due to colder winter weather, a $136.3 million increase in strategic generation revenues due to higher output in 2003 and higher market prices, and an increase of $36.1 million from other wholesale contracts due to colder weather in 2003.

|"Non-regulated gas revenues" decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Conectiv Energy had a loss of $62.0 million.  The loss of $62.0 million includes the impact of the previously reported first-quarter after-tax cost of $65.7 million on the cancellation of a combustion turbine contract and the $27.0 million in net energy trading losses.  The $27.0 million was primarily due to net trading losses that resulted from a dramatic rise in natural gas futures prices during February 2003.  Pepco Holdings had previously reported a net trading loss of $20 million for February in the Form 8-K dated March 3, 2003. In response to the trading losses, in early March 2003, Pepco Holdings ceased all proprietary trading activities.The resulting decrease in revenues from the gas trading losses is partially offset by increased revenues from higher amounts of gas available for sale in the market.  Conectiv purchases gas for use by its power plants based on projected output.  Gas not used by the plants is then sold to outside parties.

The increase was primarily due to higher revenues from the sale of petroleum products, including heating oil, mainly due to higher volume and prices, due to colder winter weather in 2003.

The increase was due to a $438.5 million increase in "non-regulated electric fuel and purchased energy", primarily related to procuring energy for a new contract resulting from the BGS auction held in February 2002, as noted above in the discussion of "Non-regulated electric revenues."  In addition, there was a $121.0 million increase in "regulated electric fuel and purchased energy" primarily related to higher volumes of kilowatt hours delivered due to colder winter weather and higher prices.

|Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased by $7.0 million to $359.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $366.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease was mainly due to lower amounts of estimated uncollectible accounts receivable of $26.3 million which resulted in less bad debt expenses, a $5.9 million decrease in insurance expense primarily for directors & officers and builders' risk insurance for the Bethlehem power plant, and lower equipment rental expense of $2.0 million due to the sale of Conectiv Operating Services Company.  This decrease was partially offset by incremental storm restoration costs of $3.5 million incurred due to Hurricane Isabel, higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense of $6.9 million in 2003 and pre-merger service company credits of $16.8 million incurred during the seven months ended July 31, 2002.

|The impairment loss of $110.7 million (before tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is a result of Conectiv Energy's previously disclosed decision to cancel a contract with General Electric for the delivery of four combustion turbines (CTs).  Conectiv Energy cancelled the CTs due to uncertainty in the energy markets and current high level of capacity reserves within PJM.  The $57.9 million before-tax purchase accounting reversal offset is not pushed down to Conectiv but is recorded at the Pepco Holdings' level.

|Depreciation and amortization expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 primarily due to a $37.3 million increase in the amortization of recoverable stranded costs and an increase of $6.8 million for depreciation of new mid-merit electric generating plants, partially offset by a decrease of $7.5 million in pre-merger service company depreciation and amortization incurred during the seven months ended July 31, 2002.

|Deferred electric service costs decreased by $50.0 million due to lower costs related to ACE providing Basic Generation Service and due to the $27.5 million charge described below.  The balance for ACE's deferred electric service costs was $178.9 million as of September 30, 2003.  On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|Other Income (Expenses) decreased by $0.7 million to $91.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $91.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease is primarily due to a gain of $3.9 million from the sale of Conectiv Operating Services Company, a $1.5 million distribution from Burney Forest Products, partially offset by decreased capitalization of interest expense of $4.3 million due to lower levels of construction work-in-progress.

|Income taxes decreased by $57.4 million mainly due to lower income from continuing operations before income taxes.

|On July 25, 2003, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved the determination of stranded costs related to ACE's January 31, 2003, petition relating to its B.L. England generating facility.  The NJBPU approved recovery of $149.5 million.  As a result of the order, ACE reversed $10 million of accruals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, for the possible disallowances related to these stranded costs.  The credit to income of $5.9 million is classified as an extraordinary gain in Conectiv's financial statements, since the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge in conjunction with the accounting for competitive restructuring in 1999.

|The table above shows the amounts of electric revenues earned that are subject to price regulation (regulated) and that are not subject to price regulation (non-regulated).  "Regulated electric revenues" include revenues for delivery (transmission and distribution) service and electricity supply service within the service areas of DPL.

|The increase in "Regulated electric revenues" was primarily due to the following: (i) a $12.3 million increase due to increased sales from colder winter weather, (ii) a $14.9 million increase from higher sales to Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, (iii) a $8.5 million increase from higher retail rates, and (iv) a decrease of $12.3 million due to more use of alternative suppliers by customers.  Customers who have chosen alternate suppliers accounted for 11% of billed sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

|DPL has gas revenues from on-system natural gas sales, which generally are subject to price regulation, and from the transportation of natural gas for customers.  The table above shows the amounts of gas revenues from sources that were subject to price regulation (regulated) and that were not subject to price regulation (non-regulated).

|The increase in "Regulated gas revenues" primarily resulted from higher revenues of $22.4 million from colder winter weather in 2003, partially offset by lower revenues of $15.5 million resulting from a Gas Cost Rate decrease effective November 2002.  Heating degree days increased by 33.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

|The increase in "Regulated electric revenues" was due to the following: (i) regulated electric retail revenues increased $22.7 million.  The $22.7 million increase was attributed to: (i) $6.9 million retail revenue increase from higher retail sales due to colder winter weather, (ii) $13.2 million increase from residential and small commercial business growth, (iii) $4.9 million increase from higher retail rates, (iv) a $6.1 million decrease from more customers choosing alternative suppliers, and (v) a $3.8 million increase from other variances.  Customers who have chosen alternate suppliers accounted for 9% of billed sales for the 2003 period compared to 8% for the corresponding 2002 period.  Interchange increased $110.1 million due to the New Jersey BPU mandate that each New Jersey utility participate in an auction to allow third-party energy suppliers to provide Basic Generation Service to the customers in its territory.  As of August 1, 2002, approximately 80% of the customer MWH load, which ACE was serving, began to be served by other suppliers.  This means that ACE now has generation to sell to PJM, which was previously used by supply customers in the territory.  As of August 1, 2003, 100% of the ACE customer BGS MWH load is being supplied by other suppliers through the auction process, so now all ACE generation is sold to PJM.

|"Electric fuel and purchased energy" increased by $89.0 million to $602.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $513.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  There was a $149.3 million increase due to colder winter weather, higher prices and increased interchange sales partially offset by a decrease of $50.5 million in purchased capacity.  In August 2002, due to the BPU required auction sale of BGS load, ACE began supplying 22% of its BGS energy requirements compared to 100% of BGS load before the auction.  With the drop in energy supply, there was a corresponding drop in capacity obligations under PJM formulas.

|Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased by $18.3 million to $158.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $176.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in estimated uncollectible accounts which resulted in a $14.3 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $4.1 million decrease in general expenses, which were partially offset by incremental storm restoration costs of $1.0 million incurred due to Hurricane Isabel.

|Deferred electric service costs decreased by $50.0 million due to lower costs related to ACE providing Basic Generation Service and due to the $27.5 million charge described below.  The balance for ACE's deferred electric service costs was $178.9 million as of September 30, 2003.  On July 31, 2003, the NJBPU issued its Summary Order permitting ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs that were incurred as a result of the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA) and to reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|The Summary Order approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003.  The Summary Order also transferred to ACE's pending base case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance.  The Summary Order estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE.  Since the amounts included in this decision are based on estimates through July 31, 2003, the actual ending deferred cost balance will be subject to review and finalization by the NJPBU and ACE.  The approved rates became effective on August 6, 2003.  Based on analysis of the order and in accordance with prevailing accounting rules, ACE recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($16.3 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is in addition to amounts previously accrued for disallowance.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  ACE is awaiting the final written order from the NJBPU and is evaluating its options related to this decision.  The NJBPU's action is not appealable until a final written order has been issued.

|Other expenses increased by $7.5 million to a net expense of $35.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from a net expense of $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  This increase is primarily due to higher interest expense of $6.6 million due to increased amounts of outstanding long and short term debt.

|On July 25, 2003, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved the determination of stranded costs related to ACE's January 31, 2003, petition relating to its B.L. England generating facility.  The NJBPU approved recovery of $149.5 million.  As a result of the order, ACE reversed $10 million of accruals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, for the possible disallowances related to these stranded costs.  The credit to income of $5.9 million is classified as an extraordinary gain in ACE's financial statements, since the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge in conjunction with the accounting for competitive restructuring in 1999.

|In 1991, Pepco entered into a power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Panda Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), the operator/lessee of a qualifying facility, under which Pepco agreed to purchase 230 megawatts of capacity and energy from 1996 through 2021.  In connection with the sale by Pepco of its generation assets to affiliates of Mirant Corporation in 2000, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant whereby Mirant has agreed to purchase from Pepco the entire output under the PPA at a cost equal to the amount Pepco is required to pay to Panda under the PPA.  Panda or its affiliates challenged the back-to-back arrangement before the Maryland Public Service Commission (the "Maryland PSC"), the D.C. Public Service Commission (the "DC PSC"), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and in Texas state court ("Texas Action").  In each case Panda contended that the back-to-back arrangement was an assignment, delegation or transfer requiring Panda's consent under the PPA.  Panda's requests for relief in the Texas Action and from the DC PSC and the FERC were denied.  In the proceeding before the Maryland PSC, Pepco submitted its own motion for an order declaring that the back-to back arrangement does not violate the anti-assignment provisions in the PPA. The Maryland PSC issued a ruling that the back-to-back arrangement did not constitute an assignment or a delegation under the PPA.  Panda then sought judicial review of the Maryland PSC ruling in the Maryland Circuit Court for Montgomery County. On April 23, 2001, the Circuit Court reversed the Maryland PSC and ruled that the back-to-back arrangement constituted an assignment of the PPA by Pepco to Mirant, but stayed its decision pending appeal.  The Maryland PSC, Maryland People's Counsel and Pepco appealed the Circuit Court ruling to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.  In July 2002, the Court of Special Appeals ruled that, while the Maryland PSC decision could not be sustained as a matter of contract interpretation, the Maryland PSC could approve the back-to-back arrangement as a matter of public policy.  In December 2002, the Maryland Court of Appeals granted various petitions for review.  On June 10, 2003, the Court of Appeals decided that the "Administration" provisions in Paragraph II.D of Schedule 2.4 to the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (APSA) violate the anti-assignment provision in Section 19.1 of the PPA.  The Court did not rule that the power resale provisions of the APSA violate Section 19.1 and did not rule that the Pepco resales of power to Mirant violated any other provision of the PPA.
|In connection with the purchase of Pepco's generation assets, Mirant agreed to an adjustment of the purchase price if the back-to-back arrangement should be determined to violate the PPA as a prohibited assignment, delegation or transfer in a binding court order issued on or before March 19, 2005.  The amount that Mirant would be obligated to pay to Pepco pursuant to this adjustment provision is designed to compensate Pepco for loss of the benefit of its arrangement with Mirant at then prevailing market prices.  If Mirant were unable to fulfill its contractual obligations to Pepco, Pepco may seek authorization from the Maryland PSC and the DC PSC to recover its additional costs.  As discussed above in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Relationship with Mirant Corporation," Pepco believes that its restructuring settlement agreements, which have been approved by the Maryland PSC and the DC PSC, would permit Pepco to recover in its retail distribution rates the above-market power purchase costs that it likely would incur under the PPA.  Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.

|In 1991, Pepco entered into a power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Panda Brandywine, L.P. ("Panda"), the operator/lessee of a qualifying facility, under which Pepco agreed to purchase 230 megawatts of capacity and energy from 1996 through 2021.  In connection with the sale by Pepco of its generation assets to affiliates of Mirant Corporation in 2000, Pepco entered into a "back-to-back" arrangement with Mirant whereby Mirant has agreed to purchase from Pepco the entire output under the PPA at a cost equal to the amount Pepco is required to pay to Panda under the PPA.  Panda or its affiliates challenged the back-to-back arrangement before the Maryland Public Service Commission (the "Maryland PSC"), the D.C. Public Service Commission (the "DC PSC"), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and in Texas state court ("Texas Action").  In each case Panda contended that the back-to-back arrangement was an assignment, delegation or transfer requiring Panda's consent under the PPA.  Panda's requests for relief in the Texas Action and from the DC PSC and the FERC were denied.  In the proceeding before the Maryland PSC, Pepco submitted its own motion for an order declaring that the back-to back arrangement does not violate the anti-assignment provisions in the PPA. The Maryland PSC issued a ruling that the back-to-back arrangement did not constitute an assignment or a delegation under the PPA.  Panda then sought judicial review of the Maryland PSC ruling in the Maryland Circuit Court for Montgomery County. On April 23, 2001, the Circuit Court reversed the Maryland PSC and ruled that the back-to-back arrangement constituted an assignment of the PPA by Pepco to Mirant, but stayed its decision pending appeal.  The Maryland PSC, Maryland People's Counsel and Pepco appealed the Circuit Court ruling to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.  In July 2002, the Court of Special Appeals ruled that, while the Maryland PSC decision could not be sustained as a matter of contract interpretation, the Maryland PSC could approve the back-to-back arrangement as a matter of public policy.  In December 2002, the Maryland Court of Appeals granted various petitions for review.  On June 10, 2003, the Court of Appeals decided that the "Administration" provisions in Paragraph II.D of Schedule 2.4 to the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (APSA) violate the anti-assignment provision in Section 19.1 of the PPA.  The Court did not rule that the power resale provisions of the APSA violate Section 19.1 and did not rule that the Pepco resales of power to Mirant violated any other provision of the PPA.
|In connection with the purchase of Pepco's generation assets, Mirant agreed to an adjustment of the purchase price if the back-to-back arrangement should be determined to violate the PPA as a prohibited assignment, delegation or transfer in a binding court order issued on or before March 19, 2005.  The amount that Mirant would be obligated to pay to Pepco pursuant to this adjustment provision is designed to compensate Pepco for loss of the benefit of its arrangement with Mirant at then prevailing market prices.  If Mirant were unable to fulfill its contractual obligations to Pepco, Pepco may seek authorization from the Maryland PSC and the DC PSC to recover its additional costs.  As discussed above in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Relationship with Mirant Corporation," Pepco believes that its restructuring settlement agreements, which have been approved by the Maryland PSC and the DC PSC, would permit Pepco to recover in its retail distribution rates the above-market power purchase costs that it likely would incur under the PPA.  Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its shareholders and customers.

The shareholder's notice must set forth a description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting the business at the annual meeting, the name and record address of the shareholder, the class and number of shares owned by the shareholder and any material interest of the shareholder in the proposed business.
