|Pepco Holdings' 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 SEC, 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 the annual financial statements included in PHI's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In the opinion of PHI's management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Pepco Holdings' financial condition as of September 30, 2004, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of PHI's results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2004, since its Power Delivery subsidiaries' sales of electric energy are seasonal.  Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

|Pepco Holdings applied the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), commencing in 2003 to its agreements that contain guarantee and indemnification clauses.  These

|On December 31, 2003, FIN 46 was implemented by Pepco Holdings.  FIN 46 was revised and superseded by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R) which clarified some of the provisions of FIN 46 and exempted certain entities from its requirements.  The implementation of FIN 46R (including the evaluation of interests in purchase power arrangements) did not impact Pepco Holdings' financial condition or results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|As part of the FIN 46R evaluation, Pepco Holdings reviewed its subsidiaries' power purchase agreements (PPAs), including its Non-Utility Generation (NUG) contracts, to determine (i) if the subsidiary's interest in each entity that is a counterparty to a PPA was a variable interest, (ii) whether the entity was a variable interest entity and (iii) if so, whether Pepco Holdings' subsidiary was the primary beneficiary.  Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of PPAs with four entities, including Pepco's agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. (Panda), Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries potentially assume the variability in the operations of the plants of these entities and therefore have a variable interest in the entities.  Pepco Holdings was unable to obtain sufficient information from these entities to conduct the analysis required under FIN 46R to determine whether these four entities were variable interest entities or if Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries were the primary beneficiary.  As a result, Pepco Holdings has applied the scope exemption from the application of FIN 46R for enterprises that have conducted exhaustive efforts to obtain the necessary information.                                                             
|Net purchase activities with these four entities in the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $89 million and $88 million, respectively, of which approximately $82 million and $80 million, respectively, related to power purchases under the PPAs.  Net purchase activities with these four entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $258 million and $247 million, respectively, of which approximately $236 million and $228 million, respectively related to power purchases under the PPAs. Net purchase activities with these four entities in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $326 million, $316 million and $318 million, respectively, of which approximately $299 million, $295 million and $302 million, respectively related to power purchases under the PPAs.  Pepco Holdings' exposure to loss under the Panda PPA is discussed in Note (4) Commitments and Contingencies, under "Relationship with Mirant Corporation."  Pepco Holdings does not have loss exposure under the remaining three PPAs because cost recovery will be achieved from its customers through regulated rates.

|On January 1, 2004, Pepco Holdings implemented EITF Issue No. 03-11 (EITF 03-11), "Reporting Realized Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments That Are Subject to FASB Statement No. 133, 'Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,' and not 'Held for Trading Purposes' as Defined in EITF Issue No. 02-3, 'Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities.'"  As a result of the implementation of this EITF, $67.0 million and $148.6 million of operating revenues and operating expenses related to certain of Conectiv Energy's energy contracts are reported on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, as these energy contracts did not physically settle.  Had EITF 03-11 been effective for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, Pepco Holdings' operating revenues and operating expenses would have been reduced by $88.9 million and $192.6 million, respectively.

|Pepco Holdings' current funding policy with regard to its defined benefit pension plan is to maintain a funding level in excess of 100% of its accumulated benefit obligation (ABO).  In 2003 and 2002 PHI made discretionary tax-deductible cash contributions to the plan of $50 million and $35 million, respectively. PHI's pension plan currently meets the minimum funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) without any additional funding.  PHI may elect, however, to make a discretionary tax-deductible contribution to maintain the pension plan's assets in excess of its ABO.  As of September 30, 2004, no contributions have been made. The potential discretionary funding of the pension plan in 2004 will depend on many factors, including the actual investment return earned on plan assets over the remainder of the year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Pepco Holdings' net periodic post-retirement benefit expense has been reduced to reflect the Act. PHI estimates that the annual post-retirement benefit cost is reduced by approximately $3.7 million due to effects of the Act. This reduction includes both the decrease in the cost of future benefits being earned and an amortization of the APBO reduction over the future average working lifetime of the participants, or 12 years.The anticipated claims costs expected to be incurred have been adjusted to reflect the cost sharing between Medicare and Pepco Holdings. Participation rates have not been changed. In reflecting the effects of the Act, Pepco Holdings has determined which plans are eligible for Medicare cost sharing by analyzing the terms of each of its plans. It has recognized Medicare cost sharing for a plan only if Pepco Holdings' projected prescription drug coverage is expected to be at least as generous as the expected contribution by Medicare to a prescription drug plan not provided by Pepco Holdings.
|The effect of the subsidy on the three months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $10.7 million is approximately a $.9 million reduction due to the subsidy. Approximately $.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $.4 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO. The effect of the subsidy on the nine months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $32.7 million is approximately a $2.8 million reduction due to the subsidy.  Approximately $1.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $1.3 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO.

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except
14_____________________________________________________________________________that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 customary 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 major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit, including the benefit associated with the retroactive adjustment for the issuance of final consolidated return regulations by a local taxing authority, which is the primary reason for the lower effective tax rate as compared to 2003) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and tax benefits related to certain leveraged leases.

|Based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," Pepco Holdings' management has identified its reportable segments at September 30, 2004 as Power Delivery, Conectiv Energy, Pepco Energy Services, and Other Non-Regulated.  Prior to December 31, 2003, Pepco Holdings' Power Delivery business consisted of two reportable segments, Pepco and Conectiv Power Delivery.  However, with the continued integration of the Power Delivery businesses, effective January 1, 2004 these two businesses represent a single segment.  Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, Pepco Holdings transferred several operating businesses from one reportable segment to another in order to better align their operations going forward.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131, results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 have been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation.  Intercompany (intersegment) revenues and expenses are not eliminated at the segment level for purposes of presenting segment financial results.

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).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|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 any additional cash requirements that have arisen or 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.

|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).

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Upon motions filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the District Court) by Pepco and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), in October 2003, the District Court withdrew jurisdiction over the rejection proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  In December 2003, the District Court denied Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that it has jurisdiction to rule on the merits of Mirant's rejection motion, suggesting that in doing so the court apply a "more rigorous standard" than the business judgment rule usually applied by bankruptcy courts in ruling on rejection motions, and noting that there are other "important issues which must still be resolved before a decision on the merits would be appropriate."  On October 4, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the District Court will retain jurisdiction over the matter and invited parties to submit comments on the appropriate standard to be applied in determining whether to grant Mirant's rejection motion.  All parties submitted comments.  On November 3, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the Court concluded that the "separate agreement" issue (i.e., whether the PPA-Related Obligations are severable from the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement) relating to the sale of Pepco's generation assets should be resolved before the District Court deals further with the issue of the standard to be applied in determining whether the motion to reject should be granted.  The order permits the parties to submit further evidentiary material related to the separate agreement issue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempt 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 Mirant's efforts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations is uncertain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings.  However, if Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco could be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (which date could be prior to the date of the court's order and possibly as early as 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 could be required to repay to Mirant in the unlikely event September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $118.8 million as of November 1, 2004.  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 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, for the period July 14, 2003 (the date on which Mirant filed
21_____________________________________________________________________________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 $22.5 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected in the Bankruptcy Court.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts for either period, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.  However, Pepco believes that, to the extent such amounts were not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, the expensed amounts would be recoverable as stranded costs from customers through distribution rates as described below.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its potential future exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations ultimately 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, 2004, 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, 2004, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 6.0 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 5.0 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $9 million for the remainder of 2004, and $33 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, 2004, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 18.4 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 8.4 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $8 million for the remainder of 2004, $35 million in 2005, and $35 million in 2006 and approximately $35 million to $48 million annually thereafter through the 2021 contract termination date.

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect to 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC) to recover its additional costs.  Pepco is committed to working with its regulatory authorities to achieve a result that is appropriate for its
22_____________________________________________________________________________shareholders and customers.  Under the provisions of the settlement agreements approved by the MPSC and the DCPSC 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting 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 from Pepco's customers through its 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.

|On October 22, 2004,President Bush signed into law the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (FSC-ETI Bill, H.R. 4520).  This legislation provides, in part, new passive loss limitation rules that will be applied prospectively to leases (including cross-borderleases) entered into after March 12, 2004 with tax indifferent parties (i.e., municipalities and tax exempt or governmental entities).  Theassets of PCI include a cross-borderenergy lease portfolio with a book value of approximately $1.2 billion at September 30, 2004.  cross-borderleases are leases by a U.S. taxpayer of property located in a foreign country.  All of PCI's cross-borderleases are with tax indifferent parties and were entered into prior to 2004.  Therefore, the legislation, as finally enacted, will not affect PCI's existing leases.  Although this legislation is prospective in nature, it does not prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from challenging prior leasing transactions.

|PHI files a consolidated federal income tax return.  PHI's federal income tax liabilities for Pepco legacy companies for all years through 2000, and for Conectiv legacy companies for all years through 1997, have been determined, subject to adjustment to the extent of any net operating loss or other loss or credit carrybacks from subsequent years.  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as part of its normal audit of PHI's income tax returns, has questioned whether PHI was entitled to certain tax deductions as the result of the adoption of a carry-over tax basis for a non-lease financial asset acquired in 1998 by a subsidiary of PHI.  If the position asserted by the IRS were to prevail and the deductions were disallowed, PHI maybe required to take a charge to earnings for financial reporting purposes due to the reversal of the tax benefits recognized in prior periods (including years
23_____________________________________________________________________________1998 through 2000, which remain open due to net operating loss carrybacks).  At September 30, 2004, the amount of this potential charge consisted of approximately $16.3 million reflecting the reversal of the tax benefits and approximately $3 million of estimated interest on the additional taxes owed.  PHI is in discussions with the IRS regarding a settlement of this matter; however the ultimate outcome and financial effect are not known at this time.

|For a discussion of the history of ACE's proceeding filed with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates and Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC) in New Jersey, see Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate and Staff of the NJBPU filed their briefs in this proceeding in August 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate's brief supported its earlier proposal of an annual rate decrease of $4.5 million.  The Staff's brief, however, stated for the first time its position calling for an overall decrease of $10.8 million.  Reply briefs were filed on August 23, 2004.  Settlement discussions between ACE, the NJBPU Staff and the Ratepayer Advocate have been ongoing.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

|On August 31, 2004, ACE filed requests with the NJBPU proposing changes to its Transition Bond Charge (TBC), its Market Transition Charge - Tax rate (MTC-Tax), and its Basic Generation Service (BGS) Reconciliation charges.  The net impact of these rate changes will be a decrease in ACE's annual revenues of approximately 1.5%.  All of these rate changes were implemented on October 1, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|On October 1, 2004, DPL submitted its annual Gas Cost Rate (GCR) filing to the DPSC.  In its filing, DPL seeks to increase its GCR by approximately 16.8% in anticipation of increasing natural gas commodity costs.  The GCR, which permits DPL to recover its procurement gas costs through customer rates, becomes effective November 1, 2004 and is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings.  A final order is expected in the spring of 2005.  DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

|For a discussion of the history of ACE's restructuring deferral proceeding under the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act, see Note (14), Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in Pepco Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, and Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in
24_____________________________________________________________________________Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.  In July 2004, the NJBPU issued its final order in the restructuring deferral proceeding.  The final order did not modify the amount of the disallowances set forth in the summary order issued in July 2003, but did provide a much more detailed analysis of evidence and other information relied on by the NJBPU as justification for the disallowances.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  In August 2004, ACE filed with the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey, which hears appeals of New Jersey administrative agencies, including the NJBPU, a Notice of Appeal and a Case Information Statement related to the July 2004 Final Decision and Order.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this appeal.

|For a history of the Standard Offer Service (SOS) proceeding pending before the DCPSC, see Note (14), Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in Pepco Holdings' 2003 10-K/A and Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  In August 2004, the DCPSC issued an order adopting administrative charges for residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers that are intended to allow Pepco to recover the administrative costs incurred to provide the SOS supply.  The approved administrative charges include an average margin for Pepco of approximately $0.00248 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of DC SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  The administrative charges will go into effect for Pepco's DC SOS sales beginning February 8, 2005.  Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for DC SOS at the end of October and filed the proposed new SOS rates with the DCPSC on November 3, 2004.

Pepco will procure power separately on the spot market to cover the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005, before the new DC SOS contracts begin.  Consequently, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power on the spot market and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers during the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005.  In addition, because the new DC SOS rates do not go into effect until February 8, 2005, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power under the new DC SOS contracts and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers for the period from February 1 to February 7, 2005.  The amount of the difference for these periods will depend on spot market power prices during the first period, weather, and the amount of DC SOS load that Pepco is serving.  Pepco estimates that the total amount of the difference will be in the range from approximately $7.6 million to approximately $11.4 million.  This difference, however, will be included in the calculation of the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) for DC for the period February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005.  The GPC provides for a sharing between Pepco's customers and shareholders, on an annual basis, of any margins, but not losses, that Pepco earns providing SOS in the District of Columbia during the four-year period from February 8,
25_____________________________________________________________________________2001 through February 7, 2005.  When the GPC is calculated, Pepco expects that the cost difference it will pay after the expiration of the Mirant TPA and before the new DC SOS rates go into effect will reduce to zero the margins earned from February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005 that otherwise would have been shared between Pepco's customers and shareholders.  The amount of the difference that exceeded such margins would be recorded on Pepco's books as a loss.  In the event that Pepco were to ultimately realize a significant recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate associated with the TPA, the GPC would be recalculated, potentially reducing the amount of any loss recorded on Pepco's books.

|Under amendments to the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act implemented in March 2004, DPL is obligated to offer default service to customers in Virginia for an indefinite period until relieved of that obligation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC).  DPL currently obtains all of the energy and capacity needed to fulfill its default service obligations in Virginia under a supply agreement with Conectiv Energy.  Conectiv Energy has served notice that the power supply agreement will terminate effective December 31, 2004.  After conducting a competitive bid procedure, DPL has entered into a new supply agreement with Conectiv Energy, which was the lowest bidder, to provide wholesale power supply for DPL's Virginia default service customers.  The new supply agreement commences January 1, 2005 and expires in May 2006.  On October 26, 2004, DPL filed an application with the VSCC for approval to increase the rates that DPL charges its Virginia default service customers to allow it to recover its costs for power under the new supply agreement plus an administrative charge and an average margin of approximately $0.00179 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential and non-residential Virginia default service customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of Virginia default service customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.  Contemporaneously, DPL and Conectiv Energy jointly filed an application with the VSCC under Virginia's Affiliates Act requesting authorization for DPL to enter into a contract to purchase power from an affiliate.  On October 29, 2004, Conectiv Energy also made a filing with FERC requesting authorization to enter into a contract to supply power to an affiliate.

|As discussed in Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of Pepco Holdings included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, ACE filed a report in April 2004 with the NJBPU in compliance with the NJBPU order issued in September 2003.  This report recommended that the B.L. England generating plant be shut down in accordance with the terms of the preliminary settlement agreement among PHI, Conectiv and ACE, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Attorney General of New Jersey.  In letters dated May and September 2004 to the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), ACE informed PJM of its intent, as owner of the B.L. England generating plant, to retire the entire plant (447 MW) on December 15, 2007.  PJM has completed its independent analysis to determine the upgrades required to eliminate any identified reliability problems resulting from the retirement of B.L. England and has recommended that certain transmission upgrades be installed prior to the summer of 2008.  ACE's independent assessment confirmed that the
26_____________________________________________________________________________transmission upgrades identified by PJM are the transmission upgrades necessary to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  The amount of the costs incurred by ACE to construct the recommended transmission upgrades that ACE would be permitted to recover from load serving entities that use ACE's transmission system would be subject to approval by FERC.  The amount of construction costs that ACE would be permitted to recover from retail ratepayers would be determined in accordance with the treatment of transmission-related revenue requirements in retail rates under the jurisdiction of the appropriate state regulatory commission.  ACE cannot predict how the recovery of such costs will ultimately be treated by FERC and the state regulatory commissions and, therefore, cannot predict the financial impact to ACE of installing the recommended transmission upgrades.  However, in the event that the NJBPU makes satisfactory findings and grants other requested approvals concerning the retirement of B.L. England and approves the construction of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after such retirement, ACE expects to begin construction of the appropriate transmission upgrades while final decisions by FERC and state regulatory commissions concerning the methodology for recovery of the costs of such construction are still pending.
|On November 1, 2004, ACE made a filing with the NJBPU requesting approval of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  Late in November or shortly thereafter, ACE will file a request that the NJBPU (i) make a finding that the retirement of the B.L. England generating station is prudent and (ii)approve the categories of costs that will be stranded costs associated with the retirement, dismantling and remediation of B.L. England.

|The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, indirectly, the states, to issue orders and bring enforcement actions to compel responsible parties to investigate and take remedial actions at any site that is determined to present an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment because of an actual or threatened release of one or more hazardous substances.  Parties that generated or transported hazardous substances to such sites, as well as the owners and operators of such sites, may be deemed liable under CERCLA.  Pepco, DPL and ACE each has been named by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a potentially responsible party at certain contaminated sites.  In July 2004, DPL entered into an Administrative Consent Order with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to further identify the extent of soil, sediment and ground and surface water contamination related to former MGP operations at the Cambridge, Maryland site on DPL-owned property and to investigate the extent of MGP contamination on adjacent property.  The costs for completing the RI/FS for this site are expected to be approximately $150,000 between 2004 and 2005; however, the costs of cleanup resulting from the RI/FS are not determinable until the RI/FS is completed and an agreement with respect to

The commitments and obligations, in millions of dollars, were as follows:

|1. | Pepco Holdings and Conectiv have contractual commitments for performance and related payments of Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services to counterparties related to routine energy sales and procurement obligations, including requirements under Basic Generation Service contracts for ACE.

|2. | Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $4.2 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 the flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post substantial cash collateral. While the exposure under these standby letters of credit is $4.2 million, Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount.      
|3. | Subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings have guaranteed residual values in excess of fair value related to certain equipment and fleet vehicles held through lease agreements. As of September 30, 2004, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $6.4 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 guarantees have not been made by the guarantor as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the

|   | residual value is minimal.  As such, Pepco Holdings believes the likelihood of requiring payment under the guarantee is remote.

|5. | Conectiv has performance obligations of $4.1 million relating to obligations to third party suppliers of equipment.

|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.

|On November 5, 2004, PHI announced that its Power Delivery business will reduce its 4,200 employee work force by about 2% to 3% by the end of 2004.  This work force reduction will be accomplished through a combination of retirements and targeted reductions.  PHI expects to accrue approximately $8 to $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 for this work force reduction and existing severance plans.

|PHI accounts for its derivative activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133) as amended by subsequent pronouncements.  See the "Accounting for Derivatives" discussion in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of PHI included in PHI's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, for a discussion of the accounting treatment of the derivatives used by PHI and its subsidiaries.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|PHI's competitive energy segments use derivative instruments primarily to reduce their financial exposure to changes in the value of their assets and obligations due to commodity price fluctuations. The derivative instruments used by the competitive energy segments include forward contracts, futures, swaps, and exchange-traded and over-the-counter options. In addition, the competitive energy segments also manage commodity risk with contracts that are not classified as derivatives.  The primary goal of these activities is to manage the spread between the cost of fuel used to operate electric generation plants and the revenue received from the sale of the power produced by those plants and manage the spread between retail sales commitments and the cost of supply used to service those commitments in order to ensure stable and known minimum cash flows and fix favorable prices and margins when they become available.  To a lesser extent, Conectiv Energy also engages in market activities in an effort to profit from short-term geographical price differentials in electricity prices among markets.  PHI collectively refers to these energy market activities, including its commodity risk management activities, as "other energy commodity" activities and identifies this activity separate from that of the discontinued proprietary trading activity described below.
|As of March 2003, Conectiv Energy ceased all proprietary trading activities, which generally consisted of the entry into contracts to take a view of market direction, capture market price change, and put capital at risk.  PHI's competitive energy segments are no longer engaged in proprietary trading; however, the market exposure under certain contracts entered into prior to cessation of proprietary trading activities was not eliminated due to the illiquid market environment to execute such elimination.  These illiquid contracts will remain in place until they are terminated and their values are realized.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|PHI and its subsidiaries also use derivative instruments from time to time to mitigate the effects of fluctuating interest rates on debt incurred in connection with the operation of their business.  In June 2002, PHI entered into several treasury lock transactions in anticipation of the issuance of several series of fixed rate debt commencing in July 2002. Based on this transaction, there remains a loss balance of $48.9 million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) at September 30, 2004.  The portion expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months is $7.0 million.  In addition, interest rate swaps have been executed in support of PCI's medium-term note program.

|Pepco'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 SEC, 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 the annual financial statements included in Pepco's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In the opinion of Pepco's management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Pepco's financial condition as of September 30, 2004, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2004 since the sales of electric energy are seasonal.  Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

|On December 31, 2003, FIN 46 was implemented by Pepco.  FIN 46 was revised and superseded by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R) which clarified some of the provisions of FIN 46 and exempted certain entities from its requirements.  The implementation of FIN 46R (including the evaluation of
37_____________________________________________________________________________interests in purchase power arrangements) did not impact Pepco's financial condition or results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|As part of the FIN 46R evaluation, Pepco reviewed its power purchase agreements (PPAs), including its Non-Utility Generation (NUG) contracts, to determine (i) if its interest in each entity that is a counterparty to a PPA agreement was a variable interest, (ii) whether the entity was a variable interest entity and (iii) if so, whether Pepco was the primary beneficiary.  Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of its PPA with one entity, Panda-Brandywine, L.P. (Panda), Pepco potentially assumes the variability in the operations of the plant of this entity and therefore has a variable interest in the entity.  However, due to Pepco's inability to obtain information considered to be confidential and proprietary from the entity, Pepco was unable to obtain sufficient information to conduct the analysis required under FIN 46R to determine whether the entity was a variable interest entity or if Pepco was the primary beneficiary.  As a result, Pepco has applied the scope exemption from the application of FIN 46R for enterprises that have conducted exhaustive efforts to obtain the necessary information.
|Power purchases related to the Panda PPA in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $19 million and $20 million, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $58 million and $61 million, respectively.  Power purchases related to the Panda PPA in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $80 million, $74 million and $75 million, respectively.  Pepco's exposure to loss under the Panda PPA is discussed in Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, under "Relationship with Mirant Corporation."

|Pepco Holdings' current funding policy with regard to its defined benefit pension plan is to maintain a funding level in excess of 100% of its accumulated benefit obligation (ABO).  In 2003 and 2002 PHI made discretionary tax-deductible cash contributions to the plan of $50 million and $35 million, respectively. PHI's pension plan currently meets the minimum funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) without any additional funding. PHI may elect, however, to make a discretionary tax-deductible contribution to maintain the pension plan's assets in excess of its ABO.  As of September 30, 2004, no contributions have been made. The potential discretionary funding of the pension plan in 2004 will depend on many factors, including the actual investment return earned on plan assets over the remainder of the year.

|Pepco Holdings sponsors post-retirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. Pepco Holdings did not elect the deferral of appropriate accounting permitted by the FASB Staff position (FSP) 106-1. The Accumulated Post-retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) as of December 31, 2003 was reduced by $28 million to reflect the effects of the Act. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Pepco Holdings' net periodic post-retirement benefit expense has been reduced to reflect the Act. PHI estimates that the annual post-retirement benefit cost is reduced by approximately $3.7 million due to effects of the Act. This reduction includes both the decrease in the cost of future benefits being earned and an amortization of the APBO reduction over the future average working lifetime of the participants, or 12 years.The anticipated claims costs expected to be incurred have been adjusted to reflect the cost sharing between Medicare and Pepco Holdings. Participation rates have not been changed. In reflecting the effects of the Act, Pepco Holdings has determined which plans are eligible for Medicare cost sharing by analyzing the terms of each of its plans. It has recognized Medicare cost sharing for a plan only if Pepco Holdings' projected prescription drug coverage is expected to be at least as generous as the expected contribution by Medicare to a prescription drug plan not provided by Pepco Holdings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|The effect of the subsidy on the three months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $10.7 million is approximately a $.9 million reduction due to the subsidy.

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at
40_____________________________________________________________________________any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and certain removal costs.

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).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|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 any additional cash requirements that have arisen or 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.

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Upon motions filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the District Court) by Pepco and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), in October 2003, the District Court withdrew jurisdiction over the rejection proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  In December 2003, the District Court denied Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that it has jurisdiction to rule on the merits of Mirant's rejection motion, suggesting that in doing so the court apply a "more rigorous standard" than the business judgment rule usually applied by bankruptcy courts in ruling on rejection motions, and noting that there are other "important issues which must still be resolved before a decision on the merits would be appropriate."  On October 4, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the District Court will retain jurisdiction over the matter and invited parties to submit comments on the appropriate standard to be applied in determining whether to grant Mirant's rejection motion.  All parties submitted comments.  On November 3, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the Court concluded that the "separate agreement" issue (i.e., whether the PPA-Related Obligations are severable from the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement) relating to the sale of Pepco's generation assets should be resolved before the District Court deals further with the issue of the standard to be applied in determining whether the motion to reject should be granted.  The order permits the parties to submit further evidentiary material related to the separate agreement issue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempt 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 Mirant's efforts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations is uncertain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings.  However, if Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco could be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (which date could be prior to the date of the court's order and possibly as early as September 18, 2003) and ending on the date Mirant is entitled to cease its purchases of energy and capacity from
43_____________________________________________________________________________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 could be required to repay to Mirant in the unlikely event September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $118.8 million as of November 1, 2004.  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 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, for the period 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 $22.5 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected in the Bankruptcy Court.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts for either period, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.  However, Pepco believes that, to the extent such amounts were not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, the expensed amounts would be recoverable as stranded costs from customers through distribution rates as described below.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its potential future exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations ultimately 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, 2004, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect to 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC) 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 MPSC and the DCPSC 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting 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 from Pepco's customers through its 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.

|For a history of the Standard Offer Service (SOS) proceeding pending before the DCPSC, see Note (14), Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements of Pepco included in Pepco's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of Pepco included in Pepco's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  In August 2004, the DCPSC issued an order adopting administrative charges for residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers that are intended to allow Pepco to recover the administrative costs incurred to provide the SOS supply.  The approved administrative charges include an average margin for Pepco of approximately $0.00248 per
45_____________________________________________________________________________kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of DC SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  The administrative charges will go into effect for Pepco's DC SOS sales beginning February 8, 2005.  Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for DC SOS at the end of October and filed the proposed new SOS rates with the DCPSC on November 3, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|The TPA with Mirant under which Pepco obtains the DC SOS supply ends on January 22, 2005, while the new SOS supply contracts with the winning bidders in the competitive procurement process provide for supply to begin on February 1, 2005.  Pepco will procure power separately on the spot market to cover the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005, before the new DC SOS contracts begin.  Consequently, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power on the spot market and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers during the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005.  In addition, because the new DC SOS rates do not go into effect until February 8, 2005, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power under the new DC SOS contracts and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers for the period from February 1 to February 7, 2005.  The amount of the difference for these periods will depend on spot market power prices during the first period, weather, and the amount of DC SOS load that Pepco is serving.  Pepco estimates that the total amount of the difference will be in the range from approximately $7.6 million to approximately $11.4 million.  This difference, however, will be included in the calculation of the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) for DC for the period February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005.  The GPC provides for a sharing between Pepco's customers and shareholders, on an annual basis, of any margins, but not losses, that Pepco earns providing SOS in the District of Columbia during the four-year period from February 8, 2001 through February 7, 2005.  When the GPC is calculated, Pepco expects that the cost difference it will pay after the expiration of the Mirant TPA and before the new DC SOS rates go into effect will reduce to zero the margins earned from February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005 that otherwise would have been shared between Pepco's customers and shareholders.  The amount of the difference that exceeded such margins would be recorded on Pepco's books as a loss.  In the event that Pepco were to ultimately realize a significant recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate associated with the TPA, the GPC would be recalculated, potentially reducing the amount of any loss recorded on Pepco's books.

|On November 5, 2004, PHI announced that its Power Delivery business, of which Pepco is a part, will reduce its 4,200 employee work force by about 2% to 3% by the end of 2004.  This work force reduction will be accomplished through a combination of retirements and targeted reductions.  PHI expects to accrue approximately $8 to $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 for this work force reduction and existing severance plans.  The anticipated impact that this planned reduction will have on Pepco has not been determined.

Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with the annual financial statements included in DPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In the opinion of DPL's management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly DPL's financial condition as of September 30, 2004, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2004 since the sales of electric energy are seasonal.  Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

|DPL applied the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), commencing in 2003 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 obligations 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.

In 2003 and 2002 PHI made discretionary tax-deductible cash contributions to the plan of $50 million and $35 million, respectively. PHI's pension plan currently meets the minimum funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) without any additional funding. PHI may elect, however, to make a discretionary tax-deductible contribution to maintain the pension plan's assets in excess of its ABO.  As of September 30, 2004, no contributions have been made. The potential discretionary funding of the pension plan in 2004 will depend on many factors, including the actual investment return earned on plan assets over the remainder of the year.

The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|Pepco Holdings sponsors post-retirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. Pepco Holdings did not elect the deferral of appropriate accounting permitted by the FASB Staff position (FSP) 106-1. The Accumulated Post-retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) as of December 31, 2003 was reduced by $28 million to reflect the effects of the Act. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Pepco Holdings' net periodic post-retirement benefit expense has been reduced to reflect the Act.  PHI estimates that the annual post-retirement benefit cost is reduced by approximately $3.7 million due to effects of the Act. This reduction includes both the decrease in the cost of future benefits being earned and an amortization of the APBO reduction over the future average working lifetime of the participants, or 12 years.The anticipated claims costs expected to be incurred have been adjusted to reflect the cost sharing between Medicare and Pepco Holdings. Participation rates have not been changed. In reflecting the effects of the Act, Pepco Holdings has determined which plans are eligible for Medicare cost sharing by analyzing the terms of each of its plans. It has recognized Medicare cost sharing for a plan only if Pepco Holdings' projected

|The effect of the subsidy on the three months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $10.7 million is approximately a $.9 million reduction due to the subsidy. Approximately $.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $.4 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO. The effect of the subsidy on the nine months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $32.7 million is approximately a $2.8 million reduction due to the subsidy.  Approximately $1.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $1.3 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO.

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 customary 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.

|DPL's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was 43.7% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit), changes in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit (which was the primary reason for the higher effective tax rate as compared to 2003) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits.

|DPL's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 41.9% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit), changes in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences (which was the primary reason for the higher effective tax rate as compared to 2003) partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits.

|On October 1, 2004, DPL submitted its annual Gas Cost Rate (GCR) filing to the Delaware Public Service Commission.  In its filing, DPL seeks to increase its GCR by approximately 16.8% in anticipation of increasing natural gas commodity costs.  The GCR, which permits DPL to recover its procurement gas costs through customer rates, becomes effective November 1, 2004 and is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings.  A final order is expected in the spring of 2005.

|Under amendments to the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act implemented in March 2004, DPL is obligated to offer default service to customers in Virginia for an indefinite period until relieved of that obligation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC).  DPL currently obtains all of the energy and capacity needed to fulfill its default service obligations in Virginia under a supply agreement with Conectiv Energy.  Conectiv Energy has served notice that the power supply agreement will terminate effective December 31, 2004.  After conducting a competitive bid procedure, DPL has entered into a new supply agreement with Conectiv Energy, which was the lowest bidder, to provide wholesale power
56_____________________________________________________________________________supply for DPL's Virginia default service customers.  The new supply agreement commences January 1, 2005 and expires in May 2006.  On October 26, 2004, DPL filed an application with the VSCC for approval to increase the rates that DPL charges its Virginia default service customers to allow it to recover its costs for power under the new supply agreement plus an administrative charge and an average margin of approximately $0.00179 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential and non-residential Virginia default service customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of Virginia default service customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.  Contemporaneously, DPL and Conectiv Energy jointly filed an application with the VSCC under Virginia's Affiliates Act requesting authorization for DPL to enter into a contract to purchase power from an affiliate.

|The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, indirectly, the states, to issue orders and bring enforcement actions to compel responsible parties to investigate and take remedial actions at any site that is determined to present an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment because of an actual or threatened release of one or more hazardous substances.  Parties that generated or transported hazardous substances to such sites, as well as the owners and operators of such sites, may be deemed liable under CERCLA.  DPL has been named by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a potentially responsible party at certain contaminated sites.  In July 2004, DPL entered into an Administrative Consent Order with the Maryland Department of the Environment to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to further identify the extent of soil, sediment and ground and surface water contamination related to former MGP operations at the Cambridge, Maryland site on DPL-owned property and to investigate the extent of MGP contamination on adjacent property.  The costs for completing the RI/FS for this site are expected to be approximately $150,000 between 2004 and 2005; however, the costs of cleanup resulting from the RI/FS are not determinable until the RI/FS is completed and an agreement with respect to cleanup is reached with the MDE.  DPL expects to complete the RI/FS in the first quarter of 2005.

|On November 5, 2004, PHI announced that its Power Delivery business, of which DPL is a part, will reduce its 4,200 employee work force by about 2% to 3% by the end of 2004.  This work force reduction will be accomplished through a combination of retirements and targeted reductions.  PHI expects to accrue approximately $8 to $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 for this work force reduction and existing severance plans.  The anticipated impact that this planned reduction will have on DPL has not been determined.

|ACE'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 SEC, 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 the annual financial statements included in ACE's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In the opinion of ACE's management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly ACE's financial condition as of September 30, 2004, in accordance with GAAP.  Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2004 since the sales of electric energy are seasonal.  Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

|ACE applied the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), commencing in 2003 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 obligations 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.

|On December 31, 2003, FIN 46 was implemented by ACE.  FIN 46 was revised and superseded by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R) which clarified some of the provisions of FIN 46 and exempted certain entities from its
63_____________________________________________________________________________requirements.  The implementation of FIN 46R (including the evaluation of interests in purchase power arrangements) did not impact ACE's financial condition or results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|As part of the FIN 46R evaluation, ACE reviewed its power purchase agreements (PPAs), including its Non-Utility Generation (NUG) contracts, to determine (i) if its interest in each entity that is a counterparty to a PPA agreement was a variable interest, (ii) whether the entity was a variable interest entity and (iii) if so, whether ACE was the primary beneficiary.  Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of PPAs with three entities, ACE potentially assumes the variability in the operations of the plants of these entities and therefore has a variable interest in the entities.  However, due to ACE's inability to obtain information considered to be confidential and proprietary from certain of these entities or the certain entities' own determination that they qualified for exemption as a business, ACE was unable to obtain sufficient information to conduct the analysis required under FIN 46R to determine whether these three entities were variable interest entities or if ACE was the primary beneficiary.  As a result, ACE has applied the scope exemption from the application of FIN 46R for enterprises that have conducted exhaustive efforts to obtain the necessary information.
|Net purchase activities with these three entities in the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $70 million and $68 million, respectively, of which $63 million and $60 million, respectively, related to power purchases under the PPA agreements. Net purchase activities with these three entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $200 million and $186 million, respectively, of which $178 million and $167 million, respectively, related to purchases under the PPA agreements.  Net purchase activities with these three entities in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $247 million, $241 million and $244 million, respectively, of which $220 million, $221 million and $227 million, respectively, related to purchases under the PPA agreements.  ACE does not have exposure to loss under the PPA agreements since cost recovery will be achieved from its customers through regulated rates.

|Pepco Holdings' current funding policy with regard to its defined benefit pension plan is to maintain a funding level in excess of 100% of its accumulated benefit obligation (ABO).  In 2003 and 2002 PHI made discretionary tax-deductible cash contributions to the plan of $50 million and $35 million, respectively. PHI's pension plan currently meets the minimum funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) without any additional funding.  PHI may elect, however, to make a discretionary tax-deductible contribution to maintain the pension plan's assets in excess of its ABO.  As of September 30, 2004, no contributions have been made. The potential discretionary funding of the pension plan in 2004 will depend on many factors, including the actual investment return earned on plan assets over the remainder of the year.

|The Act became effective on December 8, 2003. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|Pepco Holdings sponsors post-retirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. Pepco Holdings did not elect the deferral of appropriate accounting permitted by the FASB Staff position (FSP) 106-1. The Accumulated Post-retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) as of December 31, 2003 was reduced by $28 million to reflect the effects of the Act. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Pepco Holdings' net periodic post-retirement benefit expense has been reduced to reflect the Act.  PHI estimates that the annual post-retirement benefit cost is reduced by approximately $3.7 million due to effects of the Act. This reduction includes both the decrease in the cost of future benefits being earned and an amortization of the APBO reduction over the future average working lifetime of the participants, or 12 years.The anticipated claims costs expected to be incurred have been adjusted to reflect the cost sharing between Medicare and Pepco Holdings. Participation rates have not been changed. In reflecting the effects of the Act, Pepco Holdings has determined which plans are eligible for Medicare cost sharing by analyzing the terms of each of its plans. It has recognized Medicare cost sharing for a plan only if Pepco Holdings' projected prescription drug coverage is expected to be at least as generous as the expected contribution by Medicare to a prescription drug plan not provided by Pepco Holdings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|The effect of the subsidy on the three months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $10.7 million is approximately a $.9 million reduction due to the subsidy. Approximately $.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $.4 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO. The effect of the subsidy on the nine months ended September 30, 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost of $32.7 million is approximately a $2.8 million reduction due to the subsidy.  Approximately $1.5 million is related to the amortization of the actuarial gain, and approximately $1.3 million is a subsidy-related reduction in interest cost on the APBO.

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at
66_____________________________________________________________________________any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 customary 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.

In November 2004, ACE used the proceeds to redeem $25 million of 7.2% First Mortgage Bonds due 2029 at 102% and $6.5 million of 7.0% First Mortgage Bonds due 2029 at 102%.

|ACE's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was 42.3% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.

|For a discussion of the history of ACE's proceeding filed with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates and Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC) in New Jersey, see Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of ACE included in ACE's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate and Staff of the NJBPU filed their briefs in this proceeding in August 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate's brief supported its earlier proposal of an annual rate decrease of $4.5 million.  The Staff's brief, however, stated for the first time its position calling for an overall decrease of $10.8 million.  Reply briefs were filed on August 23, 2004.  Settlement discussions between ACE, the NJBPU Staff and the Ratepayer Advocate have been ongoing.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|For a discussion of the history of Phase II to ACE's base rate proceeding, see Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of ACE included in ACE's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  In August 2004, the Ratepayer Advocate filed testimony proposing a cost-sharing mechanism related to the operation and maintenance costs of the B. L. England generating facility and also proposing the disallowance and/or continued deferral of approximately $30.7 million of previously deferred costs related to industry restructuring, the divestiture efforts related to the ACE's fossil generating assets, the arbitration proceeding with an unaffiliated non-utility generator, and capacity purchases from an affiliate.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|On August 31, 2004, ACE filed requests with the NJBPU proposing changes to its Transition Bond Charge (TBC), its Market Transition Charge - Tax rate (MTC-Tax), and its Basic Generation Service (BGS) Reconciliation charges.

|For a discussion of the history of ACE's restructuring deferral proceeding under the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act, see Note (14), Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements of ACE included in ACE's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, and Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of ACE included in ACE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.  In July 2004, the NJBPU issued its final order in the restructuring deferral proceeding.  The final order did not modify the amount of the disallowances set forth in the summary order issued in July 2003, but did provide a much more detailed analysis of evidence and other information relied on by the NJBPU as justification for the disallowances.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  In August 2004, ACE filed with the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey, which hears appeals of New Jersey administrative agencies, including the NJBPU, a Notice of Appeal and a Case Information Statement related to the July 2004 Final Decision and Order.

|As discussed in Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of ACE included in ACE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, ACE filed a report in April 2004 with the NJBPU in compliance with the NJBPU order issued in September 2003.  This report recommended that the B.L. England generating plant be shut down in accordance with the terms of the preliminary settlement agreement among PHI, Conectiv and ACE, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Attorney General of New Jersey.  In letters dated May and September 2004 to the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), ACE informed PJM of its intent, as owner of the B.L. England generating plant, to retire the entire plant (447 MW) on December 15, 2007.  PJM has completed its independent analysis to determine the upgrades required to eliminate any identified reliability problems resulting from the retirement of B.L. England and has recommended that certain transmission upgrades be installed prior to the summer of 2008.  ACE's independent assessment confirmed that the transmission upgrades identified by PJM are the transmission upgrades necessary to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  The amount of the costs incurred by ACE to construct the recommended transmission upgrades that ACE would be permitted to recover from load serving entities that use ACE's transmission system would be subject to approval by FERC.  The amount of construction costs that ACE would be permitted to recover from retail ratepayers would be determined in accordance with the treatment of transmission-related revenue requirements in retail rates under the jurisdiction of the appropriate state regulatory commission.  ACE cannot predict how the recovery of such costs will ultimately be treated by FERC and the state regulatory commissions and, therefore, cannot predict the financial impact to ACE of installing the recommended transmission upgrades.  However, in the event that the NJBPU makes satisfactory findings and grants other requested approvals concerning the retirement of B.L. England and approves the construction of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after such retirement, ACE expects to begin construction of the appropriate transmission upgrades while final decisions by FERC and state regulatory commissions concerning the methodology for recovery of the costs of such construction are still pending.
|On November 1, 2004, ACE made a filing with the NJBPU requesting approval of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the
69_____________________________________________________________________________Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  Late in November or shortly thereafter, ACE will file a request that the NJBPU (i) make a finding that the retirement of the B.L. England generating station is prudent and (ii)approve the categories of costs that will be stranded costs associated with the retirement, dismantling and remediation of B.L. England.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of these two proceedings.

|On November 5, 2004, PHI announced that its Power Delivery business, of which ACE is a part, will reduce its 4,200 employee work force by about 2% to 3% by the end of 2004.  This work force reduction will be accomplished through a combination of retirements and targeted reductions.  PHI expects to accrue approximately $8 to $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 for this work force reduction and existing severance plans.  The anticipated impact that this planned reduction will have on ACE has not been determined.

|This component of PHI's business is conducted through its subsidiaries Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI) and Pepco Communications, Inc. (Pepcom).  PCI manages a portfolio of financial investments, which primarily includes energy leveraged leases.  During the second quarter of 2003, PHI announced the discontinuation of further new investment activity by PCI.  Pepco Holdings, through Pepcom, holds a 50% interest in Starpower Communications, LLC (Starpower), a joint venture with RCN Corporation (RCN), which owns the other 50%.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|In the fourth quarter of 2003, Pepco Holdings recorded an impairment charge which reduced the carrying value of Pepcom's investment in Starpower to $39.2 million.  The amount of the impairment charge was based on Pepco Holdings' intent to sell its investment and an assessment of the fair value of its investment at December 31, 2003.  On July 28, 2004, Pepcom entered into a contract with a third party for the sale of its 50% interest in Starpower.  Based on the sales price in the contract and the related selling costs, Pepcom

|Under a right of first refusal provision in the Starpower joint venture operating agreement between Pepcom and RCN, RCN has the right to match a third party's offer and enter into an agreement to purchase Pepcom's interest in Starpower within 60 days from the receipt of an offer notice from Pepcom.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|On October 15, 2004, RCN notified Pepcom that it has elected to exercise its right of first refusal to match the third party offer and to purchase Pepcom's 50% interest in Starpower.

|A summary of the factors contributing to the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 earnings variances is as follows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|Power Delivery's third quarter 2004 earnings were $8.9 million lower than its adjusted earnings for the corresponding 2003 period primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower earnings from ESS at Pepco of approximately $13.6 million and unfavorable cooler summer weather that resulted in approximately $2.1 million lower T&D revenue, partially offset by $3.5 million net earnings from ESS at Conectiv.                                                                                                                                                                                          
|Conectiv Energy's third quarter 2004 adjusted earnings were $4.4 million higher than the corresponding 2003 period due to favorable Provider of Last Resort (POLR) margins and Power, Oil and Gas Marketing margins of $4.3 million, and the recognition of an adjustment related to fuel supply contracts of $5.6 million, offset by lower generation output and margins resulting from milder than normal weather ($4.3 million). In addition, interest expense was higher by $.8 million and depreciation expense by $.5 million primarily because of the completion of the Company's Bethlehem Power Plant.
|Pepco Energy Services' third quarter 2004 earnings were $2.4 million lower than its earnings for the corresponding 2003 period primarily due to lower run time at its power plants resulting from mild summer weather.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|Other Non-Regulated third quarter 2004 earnings were $3.8 million higher than its adjusted earnings for the corresponding 2003 period primarily due to the $1.4 million gain on the sale of PCI's final aircraft and $1.4 million in reduced interest expense.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Corporate and Other's third quarter 2004 earnings were $.5 million higher than its earnings for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to the fact that software was fully amortized in early 2004.

|Power Delivery's year-to-date 2004 adjusted earnings were $8.5 million lower than its adjusted earnings for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower earnings from ESS at Pepco of approximately $33.6 million, partially offset by:  (i) $20.4 million in regulated electric and gas revenues due to sales growth and rate increases and (ii) $8.8 million in net earnings from ESS at Conectiv.

|Conectiv Energy's year-to-date 2004 adjusted earnings were $20.8 million higher than the corresponding 2003 period due to higher generation gross margins of $19.7 million, which resulted primarily from fuel switching, hedging, and use of power plant flexibility.  Recognition of an adjustment related to fuel supply contracts also helped to improve earnings this year.  In addition, gross margins from the provision of Provider of Last Resort (POLR) services improved due to an increase in the average sales price and somewhat lower cost of goods.  Power, Oil and Gas Marketing benefited from lower cost of goods driven by mild summer weather.  In total, the fuel supply adjustment, POLR services, and Power, Oil and Gas Marketing gross margins were $10 million higher than 2003.  Several items offsetting the positive variances included higher interest cost resulting from the completion of the Bethlehem power plant ($4.2 million), higher depreciation expense also associated with the Bethlehem plant ($3.2 million), and other ($4.0 million).
|Pepco Energy Services' year to date 2004 adjusted earnings were $4.8 million higher than its earnings for the corresponding period in 2003 due to improved gross margins in the retail commodity business.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|Other Non-Regulated year-to-date 2004 adjusted earnings were $11.2 million higher than its adjusted earnings for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to the $5.2 million gain on the sale of PCI's final three aircraft and from $6.1 million in reduced interest expense.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|Corporate and Other's year-to-date 2004 adjusted earnings were $3.3 million higher than its adjusted earnings for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to lower amortization associated with certain purchase accounting adjustments and software which was fully amortized in early 2004.  The items were partially offset by higher intercompany net interest expense, which is offset in the lines of businesses resulting in no effect on consolidated earnings.

|The table below shows the amount of Power Delivery operating revenue earned that is subject to price regulation (regulated T&D electric and gas revenue and electricity supply service revenue).  Regulated T&D (Transmission and Distribution) electric revenue includes revenue Power Delivery receives for delivery of energy to its customers.  Regulated gas revenue includes on-system natural gas sales and the transportation of natural gas to customers.  Electricity supply service (ESS) also known as Standard Offer Service (SOS), Basic Generation Service (BGS), and Provider of Last Resort (POLR) includes revenue within the service areas of Power Delivery.  Other electric revenue includes work and services performed on behalf of customers including other utilities; other gas revenue includes off-system gas sales; and the resale of excess gas or system capacity.

|The decrease in Conectiv Energy's operating revenue of $146.4 million is primarily due to the following: a $44.8 million decrease in revenue from PJM due to a change in power scheduling procedures by Conectiv to schedule power directly to DPL, a decrease of $88.9 million that related to the implementation of EITF 03-11 on January 1, 2004, and a $12.7 million decrease resulting primarily from a decrease in Power, Oil and Gas Marketing activities.  The impact of the decrease in operating revenue was substantially offset by decreases in fuel and purchased energy expenses, discussed below.

|The increase in Power Delivery's fuel and purchased energy of $72.5 million was primarily due to the following: (i) a $75.7 million increase in net energy procurement due to higher sales of ESS; (ii) a $13.5 million increase in energy procurement costs to provide ESS due to the TPA Settlement with Mirant (effective October 2003) that increased the price of energy purchased from Mirant (the TPA Settlement); partially offset by (iii) a $14.5 million reserve recorded in September 2003 to reflect a potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp. for which Pepco filed a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceedings.

|The decrease in Conectiv Energy's fuel and purchased energy of $216.7 million was primarily due to the following: a change in power scheduling procedures by Conectiv to schedule power directly to DPL which resulted in a decrease of approximately $17.0 million in expenses from PJM, a decrease of $88.9 million related to the implementation of EITF 03-11 on January 1, 2004, and a decrease of approximately $110.8 million primarily due to reduced Power, Oil and Gas Marketing costs of goods sold from lower sales volume.

|PHI's other operation and maintenance, which includes costs associated with Conectiv Energy's petroleum division, increased $17.5 million to $348.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $330.6 million for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to an increase of $17 million in Conectiv Energy's cost of sales expense associated with its petroleum division due to higher fuel costs.  Additionally, higher electric system maintenance costs of $3.7 million and other operating costs of $5.4 million in 2004 were partially offset by $13.1 million in storm costs in 2003 primarily from Hurricane Isabel.

|Deferred electric service costs increased by $19.6 million to $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from a $0.9 million credit to operating expense for the corresponding period in 2003.  The $19.6 million increase represents a net over-recovery associated with non-utility generation contracts (NUGs), market transition charge (MTC), BGS and other restructuring items.  Customers in New Jersey who do not choose a competitive supplier receive default electricity supply from suppliers selected through auctions approved by the NJBPU. ACE's rates for the recovery of these costs are reset annually. On ACE's consolidated balance sheet a regulatory asset includes an under-recovery of $110.9 million as of September 30, 2004.

|PHI's other expenses (which is net of other income) increased $7.2 million to $96.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $89.1 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $12.8 million at Conectiv Energy from costs associated with the pre-payment of debt related to the Bethlehem mid-merit facility, partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in PCI and Pepcom expenses from reduced interest expense at PCI and decreased investment losses at Pepcom.

|PHI's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was 38.9% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and tax benefits related to certain leveraged leases.

|PHI's operating revenue decreased by $255.6 million to $5,502.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $5,757.7 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $536.9 million at Conectiv Energy, partially offset by a $272.3 million increase by Power Delivery businesses.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|The increase in Power Delivery's operating revenue of $272.3 million is primarily due to the following: (i) a $229.3 million increase in ESS revenue of which $107.6 million is a result of lower customer migration to alternative energy suppliers and $113.9 million is related to sales into the PJM market and rate increases due to the higher price of energy; (ii) a $54.8 million increase in delivery revenue, of which $28.3 million is due to an increase for a county surcharge which is a pass through; partially offset by (iii) an $11.8 million decrease in other revenue primarily due to the expiration of DPL wholesale contracts.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, delivery sales were 39,090,000 MwH, compared to 38,144,000 MwH for the comparable period in 2003.  Cooling degree days increased 12.5% and heating degree days decreased 10.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003.  Gas sales were 15,357,000 mcf, compared to 17,006,000 mcf for the comparable period in 2003.

|The decrease of $536.9 million in Conectiv Energy's operating revenue is primarily due to the following: a $220.5 million decrease in revenue from PJM due primarily to a change in power scheduling procedures by Conectiv to schedule power directly to DPL, a decrease of $192.5 million that related to the implementation of EITF 03-11 on January 1, 2004.  The remaining $123.9 million decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in Power, Oil and Gas Marketing activities, partially offset by an increase in operating revenues due to the discontinuance of gas and electric trading which was recorded as a net loss in 2003 revenues and a net increase in generation and wholesale revenues.  The impact of the decrease in operating revenue was substantially offset by decreases in fuel and purchased energy expenses.

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $698.2 million at Conectiv Energy, partially offset by a $248.2 million increase by Power Delivery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|Power Delivery's electric fuel and purchased energy costs increased by $248.2 million primarily due to the following: (i) a $183.9 million increase in net energy procurement due to higher sales of ESS; (ii) a $71.1 million increase in energy procurement costs to provide ESS due to the TPA Settlement with Mirant (effective October 2003); (iii) a $26.2 million increase for gas purchases; partially offset by (iv) an $18.5 million decrease in PJM transmission costs and (v) a $14.5 million reserve recorded in September 2003 to reflect a potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp. for which Pepco filed a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceedings.  See the Regulatory and Other Matters - Relationship with Mirant section herein for additional information related to Mirant.                                                                                                              
|The decrease of $698.2 million in Conectiv Energy's fuel and purchased energy costs was primarily due to the following:  a change in power scheduling procedures by Conectiv to schedule power directly to DPL which resulted in a decrease of approximately $220.5 million in expenses from PJM, a decrease of $192.5 million that related to the implementation of EITF 03-11 on January 1, 2004, and a decrease of approximately $265.6 million in cost of goods sold primarily due to a reduction in Power, Oil and Gas Marketing sales volume.

|Deferred electric service costs increased by $27.1 million to $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  The $27.1 million increase represents a net over-recovery associated with NUGs, MTC, BGS and other restructuring items. Additionally, the 2003 period contained a $27.5 million charge related to the New Jersey deferral disallowance regarding the procurement of fuel and purchased energy. Customers in New Jersey who do not choose a competitive supplier receive default electricity supply from suppliers selected through auctions approved by the NJBPU.

|PHI's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 35.5% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit, including the benefit associated with the retroactive adjustment for the issuance of final consolidated return regulations by a local taxing authority, which is the primary reason for the lower effective tax rate as compared to 2003) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and tax benefits related to certain leveraged leases.

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 customary 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.

|2. | Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $4.2 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 the flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post substantial cash collateral. While the exposure under these standby letters of credit is $4.2 million, Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount.                                                                                                                                      
|3. | Subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings have guaranteed residual values in excess of fair value related to certain equipment and fleet vehicles held through lease agreements. As of September 30, 2004, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $6.4 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 guarantees have not been made by the guarantor as, under normal conditions, the contract runs to full term at which time the residual value is minimal.  As such, Pepco Holdings 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.

|The following table provides the source of fair value information (exchange-traded, provided by other external sources, or modeled internally) used to determine the carrying amount of the competitive energy segments' total mark-to-market energy contract net assets.  The table also provides the maturity, by year, of the competitive energy segments' mark-to-market energy contract net assets, which indicates when the amounts will settle and either generate cash for, or require payment of cash by, PHI.

|PHI uses its best estimates to determine the fair value of the commodity and derivative contracts that its competitive energy segments hold and sell.  The fair values in each category presented below reflect forward prices and volatility factors as of September 30, 2004 and are subject to change as a result of changes in these factors:

|(1)    | This table reflects $.3 million (pre-tax) of net assets that existed at the time of the Pepco/Conectiv merger that are not reflected in PHI's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 due to purchase accounting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|(2)    | Includes all remaining contracts held for proprietary trading.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|(3)    | The forward value of the trading contracts represents positions held prior to the cessation of proprietary trading.  The values were locked-in during the exit from trading and will be realized during the normal course of business through the year 2005.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|(4)    | Prices provided by other external sources reflect information obtained from over-the-counter brokers, industry services, or multiple-party on-line platforms.  As of March 2003, Conectiv Energy ceased all proprietary trading activities; however, the market exposure under certain contracts associated with proprietary trading activities was not eliminated due to the illiquid market environment to execute such elimination.  These illiquid contracts will remain in place until they are terminated and their values are realized.
|(5)    | Includes all SFAS No. 133 hedge activity and non-trading activities marked-to-market through AOCI or on the Income Statement as required.  As of the second quarter of 2003, this category also includes the activities of the 24-Hour Power Desk.

|Under certain contractual arrangements entered into by PHI's subsidiaries in connection with competitive energy and other transactions, the affected company may be required to provide cash collateral or letters of credit as security for its contractual obligations if the credit ratings of the applicable company are downgraded one or more levels. In the event of a downgrade, the amount required to be posted would depend on the amount of the underlying contractual obligation existing at the time of the downgrade. As of September 30, 2004, a one-level downgrade in the credit rating of PHI and all of its affected subsidiaries would have required PHI and such subsidiaries to provide aggregate cash collateral or letters of credit of approximately up to $144 million. An additional amount of approximately $176

|Many of the contractual arrangements entered into by PHI's subsidiaries in connection with competitive energy activities include margining rights pursuant to which the PHI subsidiary or a counterparty may request collateral if the market value of the contractual obligations reaches levels that are in excess of the credit thresholds established in the applicable arrangements.  Pursuant to these margining rights, the affected PHI subsidiary may receive, or be required to post, collateral due to energy price movements.

|In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation, formerly Southern Energy, Inc., pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement.  As part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, 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).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|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 any additional cash requirements that have arisen or 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.

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).

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Upon motions filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the District Court) by Pepco and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), in October 2003, the District Court withdrew jurisdiction over the rejection proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  In December 2003, the District Court denied Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that it has jurisdiction to rule on the merits of Mirant's rejection motion, suggesting that in doing so the court apply a "more rigorous standard" than the business judgment rule usually applied by bankruptcy courts in ruling on rejection motions, and noting that there are other "important issues which must still be resolved before a decision on the merits would be appropriate."  On October 4, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the District Court will retain jurisdiction over the matter and invited parties to submit comments on the appropriate standard to be applied in determining whether to grant Mirant's rejection motion.  All parties submitted comments.  On November 3, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the Court concluded that the "separate agreement" issue (i.e., whether the PPA-Related Obligations are severable from the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement) relating to the sale of Pepco's generation assets should be resolved before the District Court deals further with the issue of the standard to be applied in determining whether the motion to reject should be granted.  The order permits the parties to submit further evidentiary material related to the separate agreement issue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempt 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 Mirant's efforts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations is uncertain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings.  However, if Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting, and
96_____________________________________________________________________________is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco could be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (which date could be prior to the date of the court's order and possibly as early as 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 could be required to repay to Mirant in the unlikely event September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $118.8 million as of November 1, 2004.  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 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, for the period 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 $22.5 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected in the Bankruptcy Court.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts for either period, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.  However, Pepco believes that, to the extent such amounts were not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, the expensed amounts would be recoverable as stranded costs from customers through distribution rates as described below.
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its potential future exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations ultimately 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, 2004, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect to 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC) 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 MPSC and the DCPSC 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting 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 from Pepco's customers through its 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.

|PHI files a consolidated federal income tax return.  PHI's federal income tax liabilities for Pepco legacy companies for all years through 2000, and for Conectiv legacy companies for all years through 1997, have been determined, subject to adjustment to the extent of any net operating loss or other loss or credit carrybacks from subsequent years.  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as part of its normal audit of PHI's income tax returns, has questioned whether PHI was entitled to certain tax deductions as the result of the adoption of a carry-over tax basis for a non-lease financial asset acquired in 1998 by a subsidiary of PHI.  If the position asserted by the IRS were to prevail and the deductions were disallowed, PHI maybe required to take a charge to earnings for financial reporting purposes due to the reversal of the tax benefits recognized in prior periods (including years 1998 through 2000, which remain open due to net operating loss carrybacks).
98_____________________________________________________________________________At September 30, 2004, the amount of this potential charge consisted of approximately $16.3 million reflecting the reversal of the tax benefits and approximately $3 million of estimated interest on the additional taxes owed.  PHI is in discussions with the IRS regarding a settlement of this matter; however the ultimate outcome and financial effect are not known at this time.

|For a discussion of the history of ACE's proceeding filed with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to increase its electric distribution rates and Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC) in New Jersey, see Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - Relationship with Mirant included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate and Staff of the NJBPU filed their briefs in this proceeding in August 2004.  The Ratepayer Advocate's brief supported its earlier proposal of an annual rate decrease of $4.5 million.  The Staff's brief, however, stated for the first time its position calling for an overall decrease of $10.8 million.  Reply briefs were filed on August 23, 2004.  Settlement discussions between ACE, the NJBPU Staff and the Ratepayer Advocate have been ongoing.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

|On August 31, 2004, ACE filed requests with the NJBPU proposing changes to its Transition Bond Charge (TBC), its Market Transition Charge - Tax rate (MTC-Tax), and its Basic Generation Service (BGS) Reconciliation charges.  The net impact of these rate changes will be a decrease in ACE's annual revenues of approximately 1.5%.  All of these rate changes were implemented on October 1, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|On October 1, 2004, DPL submitted its annual Gas Cost Rate (GCR) filing to the DPSC.  In its filing, DPL seeks to increase its GCR by approximately 16.8% in anticipation of increasing natural gas commodity costs.  The GCR, which permits DPL to recover its procurement gas costs through customer rates, becomes effective November 1, 2004 and is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings.  A final order is expected in the spring of 2005.  DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

In July 2004, the NJBPU issued its final order in the restructuring deferral proceeding.  The final order did not modify the amount of the disallowances set forth in the summary order issued in July 2003, but did provide a much more detailed analysis of evidence and other information relied on by the NJBPU as justification for the disallowances.  ACE believes the record does not justify the level of disallowance imposed by the NJBPU.  In August 2004, ACE filed with the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey, which hears appeals of New Jersey administrative agencies, including the NJBPU, a Notice of Appeal and a Case Information Statement related to the July 2004 Final Decision and Order.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of this appeal.

|For a history of the Standard Offer Service (SOS) proceeding pending before the DCPSC, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - Pepco Regulatory Matters included in Pepco Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - SOS and POLR Proceedings included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - Standard Offer Service included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.  In August 2004, the DCPSC issued an order adopting administrative charges for residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers that are intended to allow Pepco to recover the administrative costs incurred to provide the SOS supply.  The approved administrative charges include an average margin for Pepco of approximately $0.00248 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of DC SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  The administrative charges will go into effect for Pepco's DC SOS sales beginning February 8, 2005.  Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for DC SOS at the end of October and filed the proposed new SOS rates with the DCPSC on November 3, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|The Transition Power Agreement (TPA) with Mirant under which Pepco obtains the DC SOS supply ends on January 22, 2005, while the new SOS supply contracts with the winning bidders in the competitive procurement process provide for supply to begin on February 1, 2005.  Pepco will procure power separately on the spot market to cover the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005, before the new DC SOS contracts begin.  Consequently, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power on the spot market and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers during the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005.  In addition, because the new DC SOS rates do not go into effect until February 8, 2005, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power under the new DC SOS contracts and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers for the period from February 1 to February 7, 2005.  The amount of the difference for these periods will depend on spot market power prices during the first
100_____________________________________________________________________________period, weather, and the amount of DC SOS load that Pepco is serving.  Pepco estimates that the total amount of the difference will be in the range from approximately $7.6 million to approximately $11.4 million.  This difference, however, will be included in the calculation of the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) for DC for the period February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005.  The GPC provides for a sharing between Pepco's customers and shareholders, on an annual basis, of any margins, but not losses, that Pepco earns providing SOS in the District of Columbia during the four-year period from February 8, 2001 through February 7, 2005.  When the GPC is calculated, Pepco expects that the cost difference it will pay after the expiration of the Mirant TPA and before the new DC SOS rates go into effect will reduce to zero the margins earned from February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005 that otherwise would have been shared between Pepco's customers and shareholders.  The amount of the difference that exceeded such margins would be recorded on Pepco's books as a loss.  In the event that Pepco were to ultimately realize a significant recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate associated with the TPA, the GPC would be recalculated, potentially reducing the amount of any loss recorded on Pepco's books.

|Under amendments to the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act implemented in March 2004, DPL is obligated to offer default service to customers in Virginia for an indefinite period until relieved of that obligation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC).  DPL currently obtains all of the energy and capacity needed to fulfill its default service obligations in Virginia under a supply agreement with Conectiv Energy.  Conectiv Energy has served notice that the power supply agreement will terminate effective December 31, 2004.  After conducting a competitive bid procedure, DPL has entered into a new supply agreement with Conectiv Energy, which was the lowest bidder, to provide wholesale power supply for DPL's Virginia default service customers.  The new supply agreement commences January 1, 2005 and expires in May 2006.  On October 26, 2004, DPL filed an application with the VSCC for approval to increase the rates that DPL charges its Virginia default service customers to allow it to recover its costs for power under the new supply agreement plus an administrative charge and an average margin of approximately $0.00179 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential and non-residential Virginia default service customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of Virginia default service customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.  Contemporaneously, DPL and Conectiv Energy jointly filed an application with the VSCC under Virginia's Affiliates Act requesting authorization for DPL to enter into a contract to purchase power from an affiliate.  On October 29, 2004, Conectiv Energy also made a filing with FERC requesting authorization to enter into a contract to supply power to an affiliate.

|As discussed in Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - Preliminary Settlement Agreement with NJDEP included in Pepco Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, ACE filed a report in April 2004 with the NJBPU in compliance with the NJBPU order issued in September 2003.  This report recommended that the B.L. England generating plant be shut down in accordance with the terms of the
101_____________________________________________________________________________preliminary settlement agreement among PHI, Conectiv and ACE, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Attorney General of New Jersey.  In letters dated May and September 2004 to the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), ACE informed PJM of its intent, as owner of the B.L. England generating plant, to retire the entire plant (447 MW) on December 15, 2007.  PJM has completed its independent analysis to determine the upgrades required to eliminate any identified reliability problems resulting from the retirement of B.L. England and has recommended that certain transmission upgrades be installed prior to the summer of 2008.  ACE's independent assessment confirmed that the transmission upgrades identified by PJM are the transmission upgrades necessary to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  The amount of the costs incurred by ACE to construct the recommended transmission upgrades that ACE would be permitted to recover from load serving entities that use ACE's transmission system would be subject to approval by FERC.  The amount of construction costs that ACE would be permitted to recover from retail ratepayers would be determined in accordance with the treatment of transmission-related revenue requirements in retail rates under the jurisdiction of the appropriate state regulatory commission.  ACE cannot predict how the recovery of such costs will ultimately be treated by FERC and the state regulatory commissions and, therefore, cannot predict the financial impact to ACE of installing the recommended transmission upgrades.  However, in the event that the NJBPU makes satisfactory findings and grants other requested approvals concerning the retirement of B.L. England and approves the construction of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after such retirement, ACE expects to begin construction of the appropriate transmission upgrades while final decisions by FERC and state regulatory commissions concerning the methodology for recovery of the costs of such construction are still pending.
|On November 1, 2004, ACE made a filing with the NJBPU requesting approval of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England.  Late in November or shortly thereafter, ACE will file a request that the NJBPU (i) make a finding that the retirement of the B.L. England generating station is prudent and (ii) approve the categories of costs that will be stranded costs associated with the retirement, dismantling and remediation of B.L. England.  ACE cannot predict the outcome of these two proceedings.

|The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, indirectly, the states, to issue orders and bring enforcement actions to compel responsible parties to investigate and take remedial actions at any site that is determined to present an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment because of an actual or threatened release of one or more hazardous substances.  Parties that generated or transported hazardous substances to such sites, as well as the owners and operators of such sites, may be deemed liable under CERCLA.  Pepco, DPL and ACE each has been named by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a potentially
102_____________________________________________________________________________responsible party at certain contaminated sites.  In July 2004, DPL entered into an Administrative Consent Order with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to further identify the extent of soil, sediment and ground and surface water contamination related to former MGP operations at the Cambridge, Maryland site on DPL-owned property and to investigate the extent of MGP contamination on adjacent property.  The costs for completing the RI/FS for this site are expected to be approximately $150,000 between 2004 and 2005; however, the costs of cleanup resulting from the RI/FS are not determinable until the RI/FS is completed and an agreement with respect to cleanup is reached with the MDE.  DPL expects to complete the RI/FS in the first quarter of 2005.

|On October 22, 2004,President Bush signed into law the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (FSC-ETI Bill, H.R. 4520).  This legislation provides, in part, new passive loss limitation rules that will be applied prospectively to leases (including cross-borderleases) entered into after March 12, 2004 with tax indifferent parties (i.e., municipalities and tax exempt or governmental entities).  Theassets of PCI include a cross-borderenergy lease portfolio with a book value of approximately $1.2 billion at September 30, 2004.  cross-borderleases are leases by a U.S. taxpayer of property located in a foreign country.  All of PCI's cross-borderleases are with tax indifferent parties and were entered into prior to 2004.  Therefore, the legislation, as finally enacted, will not affect PCI's existing leases.  Although this legislation is prospective in nature, it does not prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from challenging prior leasing transactions.

|The table above shows the amount of operating revenue earned that is subject to price regulation (regulated and ESS) and that which is not subject to price regulation (other).  Regulated T&D (Transmission & Distribution) electric revenue consists of the revenue Pepco receives for delivery of energy to its customers for which service Pepco is paid regulated rates.  Electricity supply service (ESS) also known as Standard Offer Service (SOS) consists of revenue Pepco receives for the procurement of energy for its customers within the service areas of Pepco.  Other revenue includes work and services performed on behalf of customers including other utilities, which is not subject to price regulation.  Work and services includes mutual assistance to other utilities, highway relocation, rents, late payments, and collection fees.

|Regulated T&D electric revenue increased by $11.5 million primarily due to the following:  (i) an $8.3 million increase in a county surcharge which is a pass through to the taxing authority (see Other Taxes); (ii) a $4.5 million increase due to sales growth of 1.0%; partially offset by (iii) a $1.0 million decrease due to the difference in weather.

|Electric fuel and purchased energy increased by $48.4 million to $289.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $241.5 million for the corresponding period in 2003. The increase was primarily due to the following: (i) $65.9 million higher ESS costs resulting from a 9.0% increase in ESS sales; and (ii) $13.5 million higher costs as a result of the Transition Power Agreements (TPA) settlement with Mirant (effective October 2003) that increased the price of energy purchased from Mirant.  These increases were partially offset by: (i) $14.5 million reserve recorded in September 2003 to reflect a potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp. for which Pepco filed a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceedings; (ii) $15.9 million reduction in the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) which resulted from the lower ESS margin, which in turn provided less customer sharing; and (iii) $.6 million lower transmission service costs.

|Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $6.9 million to $66.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $59.5 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to the following:  (i) $3.7 million higher electric system maintenance costs, (ii) $2.6 million miscellaneous charges billed to customers (see Other Electric Revenue), (iii) $2.4 million for uncollectibles, (iv) $1.4 million for severance and incentive costs, (v) $1.0 million SOS Administrative expenses, and (vi) $5.4 million various other items.  These increases were partially offset by the nonrecurrence of storm costs of $9.6 million primarily related to Hurricane Isabel in September 2003.

|Other taxes increased by $9.3 million to $72.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $63.2 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to a higher county surcharge of $7.9 million, which is a pass through (see Regulated Electric Revenue) and $.9 million for gross receipts tax.  The tax rate on the county surcharge based on kilowatt hours delivered on and after July 1, 2004 increased by approximately 52%.

The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and changes in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit (which was the primary reason for the lower effective tax rate as compared to 2003).

|Regulated T&D electric revenue increased by $51.8 million primarily due to the following:  (i) a $28.3 million increase in a county surcharge pass through (see Other Taxes); ii) a $12.7 million increase due to sales growth of 4.3% (excluding the effects of weather); and (iii) a $9.9 million increase due to net favorable warmer weather.  Delivery sales were 20,771,000 MwH, compared to 19,909,000 MwH for the comparable period in 2003. Cooling degree days increased by 21.1% and heating degree days decreased by 9.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

|Electric fuel and purchased energy increased by $156.6 million to $696.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $540.3 million for the corresponding period in 2003. The increase was primarily due to the following: (i) $127.1 million higher ESS costs resulting from a 16.6% increase in ESS sales, (ii) $71.1 million higher costs as a result of the TPA Settlement with Mirant (effective October 2003) that increased the price of energy purchased from Mirant, and (iii) $3.3 million higher transmission service costs.  These increases were partially offset by (i) $30.4 million reduction in the GPC which resulted from the lower ESS margin, which in turn provided less customer sharing; and (ii) $14.5 million reserve recorded in September 2003 to reflect a potential exposure related to a pre-petition receivable from Mirant Corp. for which Pepco filed a creditor's claim in the bankruptcy proceedings.

|Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $19.8 million to $196.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $177.1 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to (i) $11.1 million higher electric system maintenance costs, (ii) $7.4 million of costs related to the increase in miscellaneous charges billed to customers (see Other Electric Revenue), (iii) $3.7 million for increased professional fees, (iv) $4.6 million for uncollectibles, and (v) $2.4 million for various other items, partially offset by the nonrecurrence of storm costs of approximately $9.4 million primarily related to Hurricane Isabel in September 2003.

|Other taxes increased by $34.6 million to $187.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $153.1 million for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to $27.6 million higher county surcharge, which is a pass through (see Regulated Electric Revenue), $3.9 million higher gross receipts tax, $1.1 million county Right-of-Way fee adjustment in 2003, and $.9 million higher use tax.  The tax rate on the county surcharge based on kilowatt hours delivered on and after July 1, 2004 increased by approximately 52%.

|Pepco's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 38.2% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits and certain removal costs and changes in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit (which was the primary reason for the lower effective tax rate as compared to 2003).

|In July 2004, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $650 million. This agreement replaces a $550 million 364-day credit agreement that was entered into on July 29, 2003. The respective companies also are parties to a three-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2003 and terminates in July 2006 with an aggregate borrowing limit of $550 million. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under these agreements is $700 million and the credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of short-term debt authorized by the applicable regulatory authority, except that the aggregate amount of credit utilized by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreements may not exceed $500 million. The credit agreements primarily serve as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies can also borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit under the Agreements. The 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 customary 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 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).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|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 any additional cash requirements that have arisen or 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.

|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).

|On August 28, 2003, Mirant filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking authorization to reject its PPA-Related Obligations.  Upon motions filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the District Court) by Pepco and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), in October 2003, the District Court withdrew jurisdiction over the rejection proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court.  In December 2003, the District Court denied Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations.  The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that it has jurisdiction to rule on the merits of Mirant's rejection motion, suggesting that in doing so the court apply a "more rigorous standard" than the business judgment rule usually applied by bankruptcy courts in ruling on rejection motions, and noting that there are other "important issues which must still be resolved before a decision on the merits would be appropriate."  On October 4, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the District Court will retain jurisdiction over the matter and invited parties to submit comments on the appropriate standard to be applied in determining whether to grant Mirant's rejection motion.  All parties submitted comments.  On November 3, 2004, the District Court issued an order stating that the Court concluded that the "separate agreement" issue (i.e., whether the PPA-Related Obligations are severable from the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement) relating to the sale of Pepco's generation assets should be resolved before the District Court deals further with the issue of the standard to be applied in determining whether the motion to reject should be granted.  The order permits the parties to submit further evidentiary material related to the separate agreement issue.

While Pepco believes that it has substantial legal bases to oppose the attempt to reject the agreements, the outcome of Mirant's efforts to reject the PPA-Related Obligations is uncertain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, Mirant is continuing to perform the PPA-Related Obligations pending the resolution of the ongoing proceedings.  However, if Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting, and is otherwise permitted to stop performing the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco could be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (which date could be prior to the date of the court's order and possibly as early as 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 could be required to repay to Mirant in the unlikely event September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $118.8 million as of November 1, 2004.  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 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, for the period 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 $22.5 million.  Pepco believes a claim based on this theory should be entitled to administrative expense status for which complete recovery could be expected in the Bankruptcy Court.  If Pepco were required to repay any such amounts for either period, the payment would be expensed at the time the payment is made.  However, Pepco believes that, to the extent such amounts were not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, the expensed amounts would be recoverable as stranded costs from customers through distribution rates as described below.                               
|The following are estimates prepared by Pepco of its potential future exposure if Mirant's motion to reject its PPA-Related Obligations ultimately 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, 2004, representing the loss of the future benefit of the PPA-Related Obligations to Pepco, is as follows:

|The ability of Pepco to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate in respect to 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting the PPA-Related Obligations and Pepco's full claim is not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, Pepco may seek authority from the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC) 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 MPSC and the DCPSC 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 ultimately is successful in rejecting 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 from Pepco's customers through its 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.

|For a history of the Standard Offer Service (SOS) proceeding pending before the DCPSC, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory Matters included in Pepco's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003
115_____________________________________________________________________________and Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - SOS Proceedings included in Pepco's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters - Standard Offer Service included in Pepco's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.  In August 2004, the DCPSC issued an order adopting administrative charges for residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers that are intended to allow Pepco to recover the administrative costs incurred to provide the SOS supply.  The approved administrative charges include an average margin for Pepco of approximately $0.00248 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial DC SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period will depend on the number of DC SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period.  The administrative charges will go into effect for Pepco's DC SOS sales beginning February 8, 2005.  Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for DC SOS at the end of October and filed the proposed new SOS rates with the DCPSC on November 3, 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|The TPA with Mirant under which Pepco obtains the DC SOS supply ends on January 22, 2005, while the new SOS supply contracts with the winning bidders in the competitive procurement process provide for supply to begin on February 1, 2005.  Pepco will procure power separately on the spot market to cover the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005, before the new DC SOS contracts begin.  Consequently, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power on the spot market and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers during the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005.  In addition, because the new DC SOS rates do not go into effect until February 8, 2005, Pepco will have to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power under the new DC SOS contracts and the current DC SOS rates charged to customers for the period from February 1 to February 7, 2005.  The amount of the difference for these periods will depend on spot market power prices during the first period, weather, and the amount of DC SOS load that Pepco is serving.  Pepco estimates that the total amount of the difference will be in the range from approximately $7.6 million to approximately $11.4 million.  This difference, however, will be included in the calculation of the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) for DC for the period February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005.  The GPC provides for a sharing between Pepco's customers and shareholders, on an annual basis, of any margins, but not losses, that Pepco earns providing SOS in the District of Columbia during the four-year period from February 8, 2001 through February 7, 2005.  When the GPC is calculated, Pepco expects that the cost difference it will pay after the expiration of the Mirant TPA and before the new DC SOS rates go into effect will reduce to zero the margins earned from February 8, 2004 through February 7, 2005 that otherwise would have been shared between Pepco's customers and shareholders.  The amount of the difference that exceeded such margins would be recorded on Pepco's books as a loss.  In the event that Pepco were to ultimately realize a significant recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate associated with the TPA, the GPC would be recalculated, potentially reducing the amount of any loss recorded on Pepco's books.

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.

|Delmarva Power & Light Company (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.  DPL's electricity distribution service territory covers approximately 6,000 square miles and has a population of approximately 1.25 million.  DPL's natural gas distribution service territory covers approximately 275 square miles and has a population of approximately 523,000.  DPL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Conectiv, which is wholly owned by Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings or PHI).                                                         
|In March 2004, Virginia amended its Electric Utility Restructuring Act to extend the rate freeze provisions applicable to DPL's rates for both provider of last resort (POLR) supply and distribution.  The rate freezes, previously scheduled to expire on July 1, 2007, were extended to December 31, 2010, except that one change in base rates can be proposed by DPLprior to July 1, 2007, and one additional change in base rates can be proposed by DPLbetween that date and December 31, 2010. Additionally, rates may be increased to reflect increased purchased power costs, increased taxes, or increased costs to comply with environmental or reliability requirements.
|The Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act obligates DPL to offer POLR service during the period that rates are frozen and thereafter, until relieved of that obligation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC).

|The table above shows the amounts of operating revenue earned that is subject to price regulation (regulated T&D electric revenue and electricity supply service revenue) and that which is not subject to price regulation (other electric revenue).  Regulated T&D (Transmission & Distribution) electric revenue includes revenue DPL receives for delivery of energy to its customers.  Electricity supply service (ESS), also known as Standard Offer Service (SOS) in Maryland and Provider of Last Resort (POLR) in Delaware, includes revenue DPL receives for the procurement of energy for its customers within the service areas of DPL.  Other revenue includes work and services performed on behalf of customers including other utilities, which is not subject to price regulation.  Work and services includes mutual assistance to other utilities, highway relocation, rents, late payments, and collection fees.

|The $12.2 million decrease in regulated T&D electric revenue was primarily due to the following unfavorable variances: (i) $3.6 million related to unbilled revenue and industrial customer adjustments, (ii) $3.9 million other sales and rate variances, (iii) $2.1 million related to a transition charge that ended in 2003, and (iv) $1.9 million lower industrial sales.

|The $11.7 million increase in Regulated gas revenue primarily resulted from the following: (i) a $17.1 million increase in the Gas Cost Rate effective November 1, 2003; (ii) a $6.5 million increase in Gas base rates effective December 9, 2003; (iii) partially offset by a $9.4 million decrease due to 2003 being significantly colder than normal winter weather and $2.5 million of other decreases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, gas sales were 15,357,284 mcf as compared to 17,006,246 mcf for the comparable period in 2003.

|The $17.8 million increase in Other Gas Revenue is largely related to an increase in off-system sales revenues of $18 million. The gas sold off-system was made available by unfavorable warmer winter weather and, as a result, reduced customer demand. Fuel costs, however, increased to offset the off-system sales.

|Fuel and purchased energy decreased by $32.7 million to $518.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $551.4 million for the corresponding period in 2003 due primarily to the expiration of the DMEC contract of $32.6 million as mentioned in other electric revenue above.

|Total gas purchased increased by $26.2 million to $126.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $100.7 million for the corresponding period in 2003. Regulated gas purchased primarily resulted from the following:  (i) a net $23.4 million increase (substantially offset in revenue) from the settlement of financial hedges (entered into as part of DPL's regulated Natural Gas Hedge program), (ii) offset by a $12.3 million decrease in system purchases due to warmer weather and more natural gas withdrawn from storage partially net of higher unit commodity costs. In addition, other gas purchased increased by $15.3 million due to the increase in sales volume.

This decrease is primarily due to the following: (i) $5.0 million decrease in interest charges due to a reduction in long-term debt; partially offset by (ii) $1.7 million increase in short-term interest charges; and (iii) $1.1 million increase in interest expense due to the implementation of FAS 150, which required a change in the designation for DPL's trust preferred securities.

|DPL's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 41.9% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit), changes in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences (which was the primary reason for the higher effective tax rate as compared to 2003) partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits.

|The $3.5 million increase in regulated T&D electric revenue was primarily due to the following: (i) $9.5 million of additional delivery revenue related primarily to increased customer usage among residential and commercial customers; (ii) $1.3 million of other favorable delivery revenue variances, and (iii) partially offset by a decrease in unfavorable mild winter weather related sales revenue of $2.9 million and PJM network transmission revenue of $4.4 million.  Delivered sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were 7,645,000 MwH compared to 7,439,000 MwH for the comparable period in 2003.  Cooling degree days increased by .8% and heating degree days decreased by 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.

|ESS revenue is offset in operating expenses and has minimal earnings impact due to deferral accounting as a result of electric restructuring in New Jersey. The $96.3 million increase in ESS revenue resulted from the following: (i) $69.9 million of higher energy prices in 2004; (ii) $30.3 million due to an increase in NUG rates set in August 2003; (iii) $17.0 million of transition bond charges due to the securitization of the BL England power plant in December 2003; partially offset by (iv) $11.8 million of lower BGS revenue due to an increase in customer migration and (v) $9.1 million of lower revenue associated with other restructuring initiatives.

|Other Operation and Maintenance decreased by $12.0 million to $143.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $155.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease primarily resulted from lower pension costs of $3.6 million in 2004 and incremental storm costs of approximately $1 million related to Hurricane Isabel in September 2003.  In addition, costs associated with providing ESS and other restructuring items decreased by $5.4 million in 2004 but were offset through the deferral accounting.

|Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $14.6 million to $104.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $89.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 primarily due to a $12.2 million increase for amortization of bondable transition property as a result of additional transition bonds issued in December 2003 and due to a $3.4

|Deferred electric service costs increased by $27.1 million to $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The $27.1 million increase represents a net over-recovery associated with NUGs, MTC, BGS and other restructuring items. Additionally, the 2003 period contained a $27.5 million charge related to the New Jersey deferral disallowance regarding the procurement of fuel and purchased energy. Customers in New Jersey who do not choose a competitive supplier receive default electricity supply from suppliers selected through auctions approved by the NJBPU. ACE's rates for the recovery of these costs are reset annually. On ACE's balance sheet a regulatory asset includes an under-recovery of $110.9 million as of September 30, 2004. This amount is net of a $46.1 million reserve on previously disallowed items under appeal.

|Other expenses increased by $3.5 million to a net expense of $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from a net expense of $35.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase is primarily due to the following: (i) $4.3 million increase in interest expense on Transition Bonds issued by ACE Transition Funding due to additional transition bonds issued in December, 2003; (ii) $2.1 million decrease in income derived from customers to recover income tax expense on contributions in aid of construction; (iii) $.4 million decrease in interest income accrued on the balance for ACE's deferred electric service costs due to a lower interest rate used, effective September 1, 2003; (iv) partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in long-term debt interest expense due to lower outstanding long-term debt balances for ACE.

|ACE's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 41.7% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reasons for this difference were state income taxes (net of federal benefit) and the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences (which was the primary reason for the higher effective tax rate as compared to 2003) partially offset by the flow-through of Deferred Investment Tax Credits.

|As of March 2003, Conectiv Energy ceased all proprietary trading activities which generally consist of the entry into contracts to take a view of market direction, capture market price change, and put capital at risk.  PHI's competitive energy segments are no longer engaged in proprietary trading; however, the market exposure under certain contracts entered into prior to cessation of proprietary trading activities was not eliminated due to the illiquid market environment to execute such elimination.  These illiquid contracts will remain in place until they are terminated and their values are realized.  As of September 30, 2004, approximately 73% of the unrealized value of Conectiv Energy's remaining proprietary trading contracts will be realized as they mature in 2004.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|The competitive energy segments actively engage in commodity risk management activities to reduce their financial exposure to changes in the value of their assets and obligations due to commodity price fluctuations.  Certain of these risk management activities are conducted using instruments classified as derivatives under SFAS 133.  In addition, the competitive energy segments also manage commodity risk with contracts that are not classified as derivatives.  The competitive energy segments' primary risk management objectives are to manage the spread between the cost of fuel used to operate their electric generation plants and the revenue received from the sale of the power produced by those plants and manage the spread between retail sales commitments and the cost of supply used to service those commitments in order to ensure stable and known minimum cash flows and fix favorable prices and margins when they become available.  To a lesser extent, Conectiv Energy also engages in market activities in an effort to profit from short-term geographical price differentials in electricity prices among markets.  PHI collectively refers to these energy market activities, including its commodity risk management activities, as "other energy commodity" activities and identifies this activity separate from that of the discontinued proprietary trading activity.
|PHI's risk management policies place oversight at the senior management level through the Corporate Risk Management Committee which has the responsibility for establishing corporate compliance requirements for the competitive energy segments' energy market participation.  PHI uses a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of its competitive energy segments' other energy commodity activities and its remaining proprietary trading contracts. PHI also uses other measures to limit and monitor risk in its commodity activities, including limits on the nominal size of positions and periodic loss limits.  VaR represents the potential mark-to-market loss on energy contracts or portfolios due to changes in market prices for a specified time period and confidence level.  PHI estimates VaR using a delta-gamma variance/ covariance model with a 95 percent, one-tailed confidence level and assuming a one-day holding period.  Since VaR is an estimate, it is not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur.

|The following table provides information on the estimated electricity output of and fuel requirements for the competitive energy segment's generation plants that have been economically hedged (which includes the use of contracts that are classified as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133, other derivative instruments, and normal purchase and sales contracts) as of September 30, 2004 based on economic availability projections.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|The competitive energy segments' portfolio of electric generating plants includes "mid-merit" assets and peaking assets.  Mid-merit electric generating plants are typically combined cycle units that can quickly change their megawatt output level on an economic basis.  These plants are generally operated during times when demand for electricity rises and power prices are higher. The following table represents an economic hedge position for a single point in time and does not reflect the ongoing transactions executed to carry a balanced position.  The competitive energy segments dynamically hedge both the estimated plant output and fuel requirements as the estimated levels of output and fuel needs change.

|Disclosure controls and procedures are PHI's controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by PHI in the reports that it files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls, and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by PHI in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.                                                                                                                                                                         
|Under the supervision, and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, PHI has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004, and, based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to PHI and its subsidiaries that is required to be disclosed in reports filed with, or submitted to, the SEC under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed,

|During the three months ended September 30, 2004, there was no change in ACE's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ACE's internal controls over financial reporting.
