PHI was incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 2001, for the purpose of effecting the acquisition of Conectiv by Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco). The acquisition was completed on August 1, 2002, at which time Pepco and Conectiv became wholly owned subsidiaries of PHI. Conectiv was formed in 1998 to be the holding company for Delmarva Power & Light Company (DPL) and Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE) in connection with a merger between DPL and ACE. As a result, DPL and ACE are wholly owned subsidiaries of Conectiv. Conectiv also is a registered public utility holding company under PUHCA.

PHI Service Company, a subsidiary service company of PHI, provides a variety of support services, including legal, accounting, tax, purchasing and information technology services to Pepco Holdings and its operating subsidiaries. These services are provided pursuant to a service agreement among PHI, PHI Service Company, and the participating operating subsidiaries that has been filed with, and approved by, the SEC under PUHCA. The expenses of the service company are charged to PHI and the participating operating subsidiaries in accordance with costing methodologies set forth in the service agreement.

The following is a description of each of PHI's two principal business operations.

Power Delivery

The largest component of PHI's business is power delivery, which consists of the transmission and distribution of electricity and the distribution of natural gas. PHI's Power Delivery business is conducted by its three regulated utility subsidiaries: Pepco, DPL and ACE, each of which is a regulated public utility in the jurisdictions that comprise its service territory. Each company is responsible for the delivery of electricity and, in the case of DPL, natural gas in its service territory, for which it is paid tariff rates established by the local public service commission. Each company also provides Default Electricity Supply, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its service territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive energy supplier. Default Electricity Supply is also

_____________________________________________________________________________

known as Default Service in Virginia, Standard Offer Service (SOS) in Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as in Delaware on and after May 1, 2006, Basic Generation Service (BGS) in New Jersey, and Provider of Last Resort service (POLR) in Delaware before May 1, 2006. The rates each company is permitted to charge for the transmission of electricity is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This means that the profitability of the Power Delivery business depends on its ability through the rates it is permitted to charge to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on its capital investments.

Competitive Energy

The competitive energy business provides competitive generation, marketing and supply of electricity and gas, and related energy management services, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. PHI's competitive energy operations are conducted through subsidiaries of Conectiv Energy Holding Company (collectively, Conectiv Energy) and Pepco Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Pepco Energy Services).

Other Business Operations

Over the last several years, PHI has discontinued its investments in non-energy related businesses, including the sale of its aircraft portfolio and the sale of its 50% interest in Starpower Communications LLC. These activities previously had been conducted through Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI) and Pepco Communications, LLC, respectively. PCI's current activities are limited to the management of a portfolio of cross-border energy sale-leaseback transactions, with a book value at March 31, 2005, of approximately $1.2 billion. PCI does not plan on making further investments in non-energy related businesses, and will focus on maintaining the earnings stream from its energy leveraged leases. These remaining operations constitute a business segment entitled "Other Non-Regulated" for financial reporting purposes.

(2) ACCOUNTING POLICY, PRONOUNCEMENTS, AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Financial Statement Presentation

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 for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 March 31, 2005, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 may not be indicative of PHI's results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2005, s ince 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.

9
_____________________________________________________________________________

FIN 45

As of March 31, 2005 Pepco Holdings did not have material obligations under guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002, which are required to be recognized as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets; however, certain energy marketing obligations of Conectiv Energy were recorded as liabilities.

FIN 46R

Subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings have power purchase agreements (PPAs) with a number of entities including three ACE Non-Utility Generation contracts (ACE NUGs) and Pepco's agreement with Panda-Brandywine, L.P. (Panda PPA). Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of the ACE NUGs and the Panda PPA, the Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries potentially assume the variability in the operations of the plants of these entities and therefore have a variable interest in the counterparties to these PPAs. As required by FIN 46R, Pepco Holdings continued to conduct exhaustive efforts to obtain information from these four entities but was unable to obtain sufficient information from these four 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 enter prises that have conducted exhaustive efforts to obtain the necessary information.

Net purchase activities with the counterparties to the ACE NUGs and the Panda PPA in the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $100 million and $87 million, respectively, of which approximately $91 million and $79 million, respectively, related to power purchases under the ACE NUGs and the Panda PPA. Pepco Holdings' exposure to loss under the agreement with Panda entered into in 1991, pursuant to which Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021 is discussed in Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, under "Relationship with Mirant Corporation." Pepco Holdings does not have loss exposure under the ACE NUGs because cost recovery will be achieved from its customers through regulated rates.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following Pepco Holdings information is for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

10
_____________________________________________________________________________

		Pension Benefits						Other Post-Retirement Benefits
		2005			2004			2005			2004
	(In Millions)
Service cost	$	9.4		$	9.6		$	2.1		$	2.4
Interest cost		24.3			23.8			8.4			8.3
Expected return on plan assets		(30.7	)		(29.8	)		(2.5	)		(2.8	)

Amortization of net loss		2.5			4.5			2.5			3.1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	5.8		$	8.4		$	9.5		$	11.0

Pension

The 2005 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $5.8 million includes $2.6 million for Pepco, $2.1 million for ACE, and $(1.3) million for DPL. The remaining pension net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries. The 2004 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $8.4 million includes $3.6 million for Pepco, $2.1 million for ACE, and $(.5) million for DPL. The remaining pension net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Pension Contributions

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 2004 and 2003 PHI made discretionary tax-deductible cash contributions to the plan of $10 million and $50 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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, no contributions were made. The potential discretionary funding of the pension plan in 2005 will depend on many factors, including the actual investment return earned on plan assets over the remainder of the year.

Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The 2005 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $9.5 million includes $3.1 million for Pepco, $2.3 million for ACE, and $2.5 million for DPL. The remaining other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries. The 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $11.0 million includes $4.5 million for Pepco, $2.5 million for ACE, and $2.3 million for DPL. The remaining other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Stock-Based Compensation

The objective of Pepco Holdings' Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP) is to increase shareholder value by providing a long-term incentive to reward officers, key employees, and directors of Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries and to increase the ownership of Pepco

11
_____________________________________________________________________________

Holdings' common stock by such individuals. Any officer or key employee of Pepco Holdings or its subsidiaries may be designated by PHI's Board of Directors as a participant in the LTIP. Under the LTIP, awards to officers and key employees may be in the form of restricted stock, options, performance units, stock appreciation rights, or dividend equivalents. No awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Pepco Holdings recognizes compensation costs for the LTIP based on the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," the following table illustrates what the effect on net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been if Pepco Holdings had applied the fair value based method of expense recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2005			2004

Medium-Term Note Retirement

In March 2005, ACE retired at maturity $10 million of 6.67% medium-term notes and $2 million of 6.65% medium-term notes.

Effective Tax Rate

PHI's effective tax rate before extraordinary item for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 42% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate are state income taxes (net of federal benefit), changes in estimates related to tax liabilities for prior tax years subject to audit 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.

12
_____________________________________________________________________________

issuance of final consolidated tax return regulations by a local taxing authority, which is the primary reason for the lower effective rate as compared to 2005), the flow-through of deferred investment tax credits and tax benefits related to certain leveraged leases partially offset by the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences.

Extraordinary Item

On April 19, 2005, a settlement related to ACE's electric distribution rate case was reached among ACE, the staff of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), the New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate, and active intervenor parties. As a result of this settlement, ACE reversed $15.2 million ($9.0 million, after-tax) in accruals related to certain deferred costs that are now deemed recoverable. The after-tax credit to income of $9.0 million is classified as an extraordinary item (gain) since the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge in conjunction with the accounting for competitive restructuring in 1999. See Note (4) Commitments and Contingencies, under "Rate Proceedings - New Jersey" for additional information.

New Accounting Standards

SAB 107 and SFAS 123R

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) which provides implementation guidance on the interaction between FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) and certain SEC rules and regulations as well as guidance on the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.

In April 2005, the SEC approved a new rule delaying the effective date of SFAS 123R for public companies. Under the SEC's rule, SFAS 123R is now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods that begin after June 15, 2005 (year ended December 31, 2006 for Pepco Holdings). Pepco Holdings is in the process of completing its evaluation of the impact of SFAS 123R and does not anticipate that its implementation or SAB 107 will have a material effect on PHI's overall financial position or net results of operations.

FIN 47

In March 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations applies to conditional asset retirement obligations as defined and requires that the fair value of a reasonably estimable conditional asset retirement obligation be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the asset. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for Pepco Holdings). Pepco Holdings is in the process of evaluating the anticipated impact that the implementation of FIN 47 will have on its overall financial position or net results of operations.

This allows Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries with taxable losses to utilize those losses against tax liabilities of Pepco Holdings' companies with taxable income. During the first quarter of 2004, Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries recorded the impact of the new regulations of $13.2 million for 2001 through 2003.

_____________________________________________________________________________

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS

Relationship with Mirant Corporation

In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation, formerly Southern Energy, Inc. 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 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 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.

Transition Power Agreements

As part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the TPAs). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its SOS obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its SOS obligations in the District of Columbia through January 22, 2005.

15
_____________________________________________________________________________

To avoid the potential rejection of the TPAs, Pepco and Mirant entered into an Amended Settlement Agreement and Release dated as of October 24, 2003 (the Settlement Agreement) pursuant to which Mirant assumed both of the TPAs and the terms of the TPAs were modified. The Settlement Agreement also provided that Pepco has an allowed, pre-petition general unsecured claim against Mirant Corporation in the amount of $105 million (the Pepco TPA Claim).

Pepco has also asserted the Pepco TPA Claim against other Mirant entities, which Pepco believes are liable to Pepco under the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement's Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the Assignment Agreement). Under the Assignment Agreement, Pepco believes that each of the Mirant entities assumed and agreed to discharge certain liabilities and obligations of Pepco as defined in the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement. Mirant has filed objections to these claims. Under the original plan of reorganization filed by the Mirant entities with the Bankruptcy Court, certain Mirant entities other than Mirant Corporation would pay significantly higher percentages of the claims of their creditors than would Mirant Corporation. The amount that Pepco will be able to recover from the Mirant bankruptcy estate with respect to the Pepco TPA Claim will depend on the amount of assets available for distribution to creditors of the Mirant entities that are found to be liable for the Pepco TPA Claim.

Power Purchase Agreements

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 the Panda PPA, entered into in 1991, Pepco is obligated to purchase from Panda 230 megawatts of capacity and energy annually through 2021. In each case, the purchase price is substantially in excess of current market price. 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 FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA (the PPA-Related Obligations).

Pepco Pre-Petition Claims

16
_____________________________________________________________________________

of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Mirant is obligated to reimburse Pepco for the settlement payment. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2004, Pepco increased the amount of the receivable due from Mirant by approximately $2.5 million and amended its Proofs of Claim to include this amount. Pepco currently estimates that the $14.5 million expensed in the third quarter of 2003 represents the portion of the entire $31.5 million receivable unlikely to be recovered in bankruptcy, and no additional reserve has been established for the $2.5 million increase in the receivable. The amount expensed represents Pepco's estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recovered could be higher or lower.

Mirant's Attempt to Reject 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 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 on jurisdictional grounds. The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation (the Creditors' Committee) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the Court of Appeals). On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that the District Court 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 busine ss judgment rule usually applied by bankruptcy courts in ruling on rejection motions.

On December 9, 2004, the District Court issued an order again denying Mirant's motion to reject the PPA-Related Obligations. The District Court found that the PPA-Related Obligations are not severable from the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement and that the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement cannot be rejected in part, as Mirant was seeking to do. On December 16, the Creditors' Committee appealed the District Court's order to the Court of Appeals, and on December 20, 2004, Mirant also appealed the District Court's order. Mirant and the Creditors' Committee each filed its brief on April 4, 2005. Pepco's and FERC's briefs are due May 19, 2005. Oral arguments have not yet been scheduled.

As more fully discussed below, Mirant had been making regular periodic payments in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations. On December 9, 2004, Mirant filed a notice with the Bankruptcy Court that it was suspending payments to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations. On December 13, 2004, Mirant failed to make a payment of approximately $17.9 million due to Pepco for the period November 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004. On December 23, 2004, Pepco received a payment of approximately $6.8 million from Mirant, which according to Mirant represented the market value of the power for which payment was due on December 13. At that time, Mirant informed Pepco that it intended to continue to pay the market value, but not the above-market portion, of the power purchased under the PPA-Related Obligations. Pepco disagreed with Mirant's assertion that it need only pay the market value and believed that the amount representing the market value calculated by Mirant was insuffi cient.

On January 21, 2005, Mirant made a payment of approximately $21.1 million. Pepco disputed Mirant's contention that the amount paid reflected the full amount due Pepco under these agreements for the applicable periods.

17
_____________________________________________________________________________

On January 21, 2005, Mirant filed in the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking to reject certain of its ongoing obligations under the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, including the PPA-Related Obligations (the Second Motion to Reject). On March 1, 2005 (as amended by order dated March 7, 2005), the District Court granted Pepco's motion to withdraw jurisdiction over the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement rejection proceedings from the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the District Court ordered Mirant to pay on March 18, 2005, all past-due unpaid amounts under the PPA-Related Obligations. On March 4, 2004, Mirant filed an emergency motion for reconsideration and a stay of the March 1, 2005 order. On March 14, 2005, Pepco filed a response to Mirant's motion.

On March 16, 2005, the District Court denied Mirant's emergency motion for reconsideration and stay of the District Court's March 1 and March 7 Orders. On the same day, Mirant filed a petition for writ of mandamus, and a motion for stay pending appeal and mandamus review in the Court of Appeals.

On March 17, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued an Order staying the District Court's Orders of March 1 and March 7, 2005. Accordingly, Mirant was not required to make the payment that was due to Pepco on March 18, 2005 pursuant to the District Court's Orders. On March 28, 2005, in accordance with the Court of Appeals March 17Order, Pepco, FERC, the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and Office of the People's Counsel (OPC) of Maryland filed oppositions to Mirant's petition for writ of mandamus in the Court of Appeals. Mirant and the Creditor's Committee filed briefs with the Court of Appeals on April 1, 2005.

On March 28, 2005, Pepco, FERC, the District of Columbia OPC, the MPSC and the Maryland OPC filed oppositions to the Second Motion to Reject in the District Court.

On April 11, 2005 the Court of Appeals entered an Order vacating the stay it had ordered on March 17, 2005 and denying Mirant's motions for writ of mandamus and stay pending appeal. On April 13, 2005, Pepco received a payment from Mirant in the amount of approximately $57.5 million, representing the full amount then due in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations.

Pepco is exercising all available legal remedies and vigorously opposing Mirant's attempt to reject the PPA-Related Obligations and other obligations under the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement 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.

If Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting 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 granting the rejection 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 that September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $185.6 million as of May 1, 2005.

_____________________________________________________________________________

period July 14, 2003 (the date on which Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition) through rejection, if approved, 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, in addition to the amounts described above, is approximately $22.5 million.

Any repayment by Pepco of amounts paid by Mirant would entitle Pepco to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate in an amount equal to the amount repaid. Pepco believes that, to the extent such amounts were not recovered from the Mirant bankruptcy estate, they 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 attempt to reject the 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 May 1, 2005, 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 May 1, 2005, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 5.9 cents) and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the FirstEnergy PPA, to be approximately 5.7 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $6.4 million for the remainder of 2005, the final year of the FirstEnergy PPA.

If Pepco were required to purchase capacity and energy from Panda commencing as of May 1, 2005, at the rates provided in the PPA (with an average price per kilowatt hour of approximately 16.8 cents), and resold the capacity and energy at market rates projected, given the characteristics of the Panda PPA, to be approximately 9.0 cents per kilowatt hour, Pepco estimates that it would cost approximately $19 million for the remainder of 2005, approximately $29 million in 2006, approximately $30 million in 2007, and approximately $30 million to $44 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 the creditors of the Mirant companies determined to be liable for those claims, 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.

19
_____________________________________________________________________________

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.

The SMECO Agreement

As a term of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco assigned to Mirant a facility and capacity agreement with Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SMECO) under which Pepco was obligated to purchase the capacity of an 84-megawatt combustion turbine installed and owned by SMECO at a former Pepco generating facility (the SMECO Agreement). The SMECO Agreement expires in 2015 and contemplates a monthly payment to SMECO of approximately $.5 million. Pepco is responsible to SMECO for the performance of the SMECO Agreement if Mirant fails to perform its obligations thereunder. At this time, Mirant continues to make post-petition payments due to SMECO.

On March 15, 2004, Mirant filed a complaint with the Bankruptcy Court seeking a declaratory judgment that the SMECO Agreement is an unexpired lease of non-residential real property rather than an executory contract and that if Mirant were to successfully reject the agreement, any claim against the bankruptcy estate for damages made by SMECO (or by Pepco as subrogee) would be subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that limit the recovery of rejection damages by lessors. Pepco believes that there is no reasonable factual or legal basis to support Mirant's contention that the SMECO Agreement is a lease of real property. Litigation continues and the outcome of this proceeding cannot be predicted.

Mirant Plan of Reorganization

On January 19, 2005, Mirant filed its Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court. In that plan, Mirant proposed to transfer all assets to "New Mirant" (an entity it proposed to create in the reorganization), with the exception of the PPA-Related Obligations. Mirant proposed that the PPA-Related Obligations would remain in "Old Mirant," which would be a shell entity as a result of the reorganization. Pepco believes this plan cannot be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court under the law and has submitted objections to the plan. The plan also did not have the support of any of the creditor's committees in the Mirant bankruptcy.

Power Act. On April 1, 2005, Pepco filed a motion to intervene and protest at FERC in connection with Mirant's March 11 FERC filing. On the same date, the District of Columbia OPC also filed a motion to intervene and protest.

On March 25, 2005, Mirant filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and First Amended Disclosure Statement. Pepco is currently analyzing this amended plan.

Rate Proceedings

New Jersey

In February 2003, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU to increase its electric distribution rates and its Regulatory Asset Recovery Charge (RARC) in New Jersey. In December 2003, the NJBPU issued an order also consolidating into this base rate proceeding outstanding issues from several other proceedings. Later in December 2003, ACE filed a Motion for Reconsideration in which it suggested that these additional issues be dealt with in a Phase II to the base rate case to address the outstanding issues identified in the NJBPU's December 2003 order. The parties to the base rate proceeding agreed that a Phase II to the base rate case would be initiated in April 2004. Accordingly, in April 2004, ACE filed testimony with the NJBPU initiating a Phase II to the base rate proceeding, which addressed these additional issues and sought recovery of the $25.4 million of deferred restructuring costs previously transferred into the base rate case (which is also referred to as Phase 1 ).

On April 19, 2005, a settlement was reached among ACE, the staff of the NJBPU, the New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate and active intervenor parties. The settlement, if approved by the NJBPU, will resolve issues in both the Phase I proceeding and the other issues referred by the NJBPU to the base rate proceeding and addressed in the Phase II proceeding. No party to either of these proceedings opposes the settlement.

The proposed settlement will allow for an increase in ACE's base rates of approximately $18.8 million, $2.8 million of which would come from an increase in RARC revenue collections. $16 million of the base rate increase, not related to RARC collections, will be collected annually until such time as base rates change pursuant to another base rate proceeding. The $2.8 million in RARC collections will be collected each year for four years. The $18.8 million increase in base rate revenue will be offset by a base rate revenue decrease in a similar amount in total resulting from a change in depreciation rate, which is further discussed below, similar to what has been adopted by the NJBPU for other New Jersey electric utility companies. Overall, the settlement provides for a net decrease in revenues of approximately $.3 million, consisting of a $3.1 million reduction of distribution revenues offset by the $2.8 million increase in RARC revenue collections mentioned above. The proposed settlement specifies an overall rate of return of 8.14%. The proposed settlement provides for a change in depreciation rates driven by a change in average service lives. In addition, the settlement provides for a change in depreciation technique from remaining life to whole life, including amortization of any calculated excess or deficiencies in the depreciation reserve. As a result of these changes there is a net excess depreciation reserve. Accordingly PHI and ACE recorded a regulatory liability in March 2005 by reducing its depreciation reserve by approximately $131 million. The regulatory liability will be amortized over 8.25 years and will result in a reduction of depreciation and amortization expense on PHI's and ACE's consolidated statements of earnings. While the impact of the settlement will be

21
_____________________________________________________________________________

essentially revenue and cash neutral to PHI and ACE, there will be a positive annual pre-tax earnings impact to PHI and ACE of approximately $20 million.

With respect to Phase II issues, which included supply-related deferred costs, the settlement provides for a disallowance of $13.0 million previously recorded to such deferred accounts and specifies the recovery over four years of an adjusted deferred balance of approximately $116.8 million, including a portion of the $25.4 million of costs transferred first into the Phase I proceeding from other proceedings and then ultimately into the Phase II proceeding, offset by the return over one year of over-collected balances in certain other deferred accounts, with the net result being that there will be no rate impact from the deferral account recoveries and credits for at least one year.

The settlement does not become effective unless approved by the NJBPU. It is likely that the NJBPU will consider the settlement in the second quarter of 2005. While ACE believes it is probable that the NJBPU will approve the settlement, ACE cannot predict with certainty the timing of any NJBPU approval. The settlement does not affect the existing appeal filed by ACE with the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey (the NJ Superior Court) related to the July 2004 Final Decision and Order issued by the NJBPU in ACE's restructuring deferral proceeding before the NJBPU under the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (EDECA), discussed below under "Restructuring Deferral."

Delaware

In October 2004, DPL submitted its annual Gas Cost Rate (GCR) filing to the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC). In its filing, DPL sought 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, became effective November 1, 2004 and is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings. In addition, in November 2004, DPL filed a supplemental filing seeking approval to further increase GCR rates by an additional 6.5% effective December 29, 2004. The additional GCR increase became effective December 29, 2004 and, similarly, is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings. The DPSC Staff and the Division of Public Advocate filed their testimony on March 7, 2005 recommending full approval of the GCR changes being sought by DPL, including the revisions to the tariff in the original and supplemental filings. An evidentiary hearing was held on May 5, 2005, at which both DPSC staff and the Division of Public Advocate testified that the rates sought by DPL should be approved as filed. A final order addressing both the November 1 and December 29 increases is expected in the second quarter of 2005.

Pursuant to the April 16, 2002 merger settlement agreement in Delaware, on May 4, 2005, DPL made a filing with the DPSC whereby DPL seeks approval of a proposed increase of approximately $6.177 million in electric transmission service revenues, or about 1.1% of total Delaware retail electric revenues. This proposed revenue increase is the Delaware retail portion of the increase in the "Delmarva zonal" transmission rates on file with FERC under the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) of the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM). This level of revenue increase will decrease to the extent that competitive retail suppliers provide a supply and transmission service to retail customers. In that circumstance, PJM would charge the competitive retail supplier the PJM OATT rate for transmission service into the Delmarva zone and DPL's charges to the retail customer would exclude as a "shopping credit" an amount equal to the standard offer service supply charge and th e transmission and ancillary charges that would

22
_____________________________________________________________________________

otherwise be charged by DPL to the retail customer. DPL has proposed to begin collecting this rate change for service rendered on and after June 3, 2005, subject to refund.

District of Columbia

Pepco's delivery rates in the District of Columbia generally are capped through July 2007, except with respect to residential low-income customers, for whom rates generally are capped through July 2009. In July 2004, Pepco filed a distribution rate review case with the DCPSC as required by the terms of the Pepco-Conectiv merger settlement approved by the DCPSC to determine whether Pepco's distribution rates would be decreased during the period the rates are capped. In accordance with the terms of the merger settlement, Pepco's distribution rates cannot be increased as a result of this proceeding. On April 7, 2005, the DCPSC approved a settlement of this proceeding which provides that Pepco's current distribution rates will remain unchanged through the end of the rate cap periods set forth above, except as otherwise provided in the merger settlement, or as may otherwise be required by the Commission or by law.

Restructuring Deferral

Pursuant to a July 1999 summary order issued by the NJBPU under EDECA (which was subsequently affirmed by a final decision and order issued in March 2001), ACE was obligated to provide BGS from August 1, 1999 to at least July 31, 2002 to retail electricity customers in ACE's service territory who did not choose a competitive energy supplier. The order allowed ACE to recover through customer rates certain costs incurred in providing BGS. ACE's obligation to provide BGS was subsequently extended to July 31, 2003. At the allowed rates, for the period August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2003, ACE's aggregate allowed costs exceeded its aggregate revenues from supplying BGS. These under-recovered costs were partially offset by a $59.3 million deferred energy cost liability existing as of July 31, 1999 (LEAC Liability) that was related to ACE's Levelized Energy Adjustment Clause and ACE's Demand Side Management Programs. ACE established a regulatory asset in an amount equal to the balance.

In August 2002, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU for the recovery of approximately $176.4 million in actual and projected deferred costs relating to the provision of BGS and other restructuring related costs incurred by ACE over the four-year period August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2003. The deferred balance was net of the $59.3 million offset for the LEAC Liability. The petition also requested that ACE's rates be reset as of August 1, 2003 so that there would be no under-recovery of costs embedded in the rates on or after that date. The increase sought represented an overall 8.4% annual increase in electric rates and was in addition to the base rate increase discussed above. ACE's recovery of the deferred costs is subject to review and approval by the NJBPU in accordance with EDECA.

In July 2003, the NJBPU issued a summary order, which (i) permitted ACE to begin collecting a portion of the deferred costs and reset rates to recover on-going costs incurred as a result of EDECA, (ii) approved the recovery of $125 million of the deferred balance over a ten-year amortization period beginning August 1, 2003, (iii) transferred to ACE's pending base rate case for further consideration approximately $25.4 million of the deferred balance, and (iv) estimated the overall deferral balance as of July 31, 2003 at $195 million, of which $44.6 million was disallowed recovery by ACE. In July 2004, the NJBPU issued its final order in the restructuring deferral proceeding. The final order did not modify the amount of the

23
_____________________________________________________________________________

disallowances set forth in the July 2003 summary order, 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 NJ Superior Court, which hears appeals of New Jersey administrative agencies, including the NJBPU, a Notice of Appeal related to the July 2004 final order. ACE cannot predict the outcome of this appeal.

Divestiture Cases

District of Columbia

Final briefs on Pepco's District of Columbia divestiture proceeds sharing application were filed in July 2002 following an evidentiary hearing in June 2002. That application was filed to implement a provision of Pepco's DCPSC-approved divestiture settlement that provided for a sharing of any net proceeds from the sale of Pepco's generation-related assets. One of the principal issues in the case is whether Pepco should be required to share with customers the excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) and accumulated deferred investment tax credits (ADITC) associated with the sold assets and, if so, whether such sharing would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and its implementing regulations. As of May 1, 2005, the District of Columbia allocated portions of EDIT and ADITC associated with the divested generation assets were approximately $6.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. In March 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that is relevant to that principal issue. Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties in June 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing later in June 2003. As a result of the NOPR, three of the parties in the divestiture case filed comments with the DCPSC urging the DCPSC to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule. Pepco filed comments with the DCPSC in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules. Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the DCPSC to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues. Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issu es in the proceeding deal with the treatment of internal costs and cost allocations as deductions from the gross proceeds of the divestiture.

Pepco believes that a sharing of EDIT and ADITC would violate the normalization rules. If Pepco were required to share EDIT and ADITC and, as a result, the normalization rules were violated, Pepco would be unable to use accelerated depreciation on District of Columbia allocated or assigned property. Pepco, in addition to sharing with customers the generation-related ADITC balance, would have to pay to the IRS an amount equal to Pepco's $5.8 million District of Columbia jurisdictional generation-related ADITC balance as well as its District of Columbia jurisdictional transmission and distribution-related ADITC balance as of the later of the date a DCPSC order is issued and all rights to appeal have been exhausted or lapsed, or the date the DCPSC order becomes operative. As of May 1, 2005, the District of Columbia jurisdictional transmission and distribution-related ADITC balance was approximately $5.8 million.

Pepco believes that its calculation of the District of Columbia customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, depending on the ultimate outcome of this proceeding, Pepco

24
_____________________________________________________________________________

could be required to make additional gain-sharing payments to District of Columbia customers, including the payments described above related to EDIT and ADITC. Such additional payments (which, other than the EDIT and ADITC related payments, cannot be estimated) would be charged to expense in the quarter and year in which a final decision is rendered and could have a material adverse effect on Pepco's and PHI's results of operations for those periods. However, neither PHI nor Pepco believes that additional gain-sharing payments, if any, or the ADITC-related payments to the IRS, if required, would have a material adverse impact on its financial condition. It is uncertain when the DCPSC will issue a decision.

Maryland

Pepco filed its divestiture proceeds plan application in Maryland in April 2001. Reply briefs were filed in May 2002. The principal issue in the Maryland case is the same EDIT and ADITC sharing issue that was raised in the D.C. case. As of May 1, 2005, the Maryland allocated portions of EDIT and ADITC associated with the divested generation assets were approximately $9.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Other issues deal with the treatment of certain costs as deductions from the gross proceeds of the divestiture. In November 2003, the Hearing Examiner in the Maryland proceeding issued a proposed order that concluded that Pepco's Maryland divestiture settlement agreement provided for a sharing between Pepco and customers of the EDIT and ADITC associated with the sold assets. Pepco believes that such a sharing would violate the normalization rules and would result in Pepco's inability to use accelerated depreciation on Maryland allocated or assigned property. If th e proposed order is affirmed, Pepco would have to share with its Maryland customers, on an approximately 50/50 basis, the Maryland allocated portion of the generation-related EDIT, i.e., $9.1 million as of May 1, 2005, and the generation-related ADITC. If such sharing were to violate the normalization rules, Pepco, in addition to sharing with customers an amount equal to approximately 50 percent of the generation-related ADITC balance, would be unable to use accelerated depreciation on Maryland allocated or assigned property. Furthermore, Pepco would have to pay to the IRS an amount equal to Pepco's $10.4 million Maryland jurisdictional generation-related ADITC balance as of May 1, 2005, as well as its Maryland retail jurisdictional ADITC transmission and distribution-related balance as of the later of the date a MPSC order is issued and all rights to appeal have been exhausted or lapsed, or the date the MPSC order becomes operative. As of May 1, 2005, the Maryland retail jurisdictional t ransmission and distribution-related ADITC balance was approximately $10.4 million. The Hearing Examiner decided all other issues in favor of Pepco, except that only one-half of the severance payments that Pepco included in its calculation of corporate reorganization costs should be deducted from the sales proceeds before sharing of the net gain between Pepco and customers. See also the disclosure above under "Divestiture Cases - District of Columbia" regarding the March 2003 IRS NOPR.

Under Maryland law, if the proposed order is appealed to the MPSC, the proposed order is not a final, binding order of the MPSC and further action by the MPSC is required with respect to this matter. Pepco has appealed the Hearing Examiner's decision on the treatment of EDIT and ADITC and corporate reorganization costs to the MPSC. Pepco cannot predict what the outcome of the appeal will be or when the appeal might be decided. Pepco believes that its calculation of the Maryland customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, depending on the ultimate outcome of this proceeding, Pepco could be required to share with its customers approximately 50 percent of the EDIT and ADITC balances described above and make additional gain-sharing payments related to the disallowed severance payments. Such additional payments would be charged to expense in the quarter and year in which a final

25
_____________________________________________________________________________

decision is rendered and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations for those periods. However, neither PHI nor Pepco believes that additional gain-sharing payments, if any, or the ADITC-related payments to the IRS, if required, would have a material adverse impact on its financial condition.

SOS and Default Service Proceedings

District of Columbia

As more fully described in Note (12), Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K, in a proceeding initiated by the DCPSC to consider issues relating to (a) the establishment of terms and conditions for providing SOS in the District of Columbia after Pepco's obligation to provide SOS terminated on February 7, 2005, and (b) the selection of a new SOS provider, the DCPSC issued an order in March 2004 adopting the wholesale SOS model. Under this model, Pepco would continue to be the SOS provider in the District of Columbia after February 7, 2005. This March 2004 order, as amended by a DCPSC order issued in July 2004, also extended Pepco's obligation to provide SOS at market rates for up to an additional 76 months for small commercial and residential customers, and for an additional 28 months for large commercial customers.

In August 2004, the DCPSC issued an order approving administrative charges including an average margin for Pepco of approximately $0.00248 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial District of Columbia 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 amount of electricity used by the respective classes of customers over the time period. The administrative charges went into effect for Pepco's District of Columbia SOS sales on February 8, 2005. Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for District of Columbia 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 obtained the fixed-rate DC SOS supply ended on January 22, 2005, while the new SOS supply contracts with the winning bidders in the competitive procurement process began on February 1, 2005. Pepco procured power separately on the market for next-day deliveries to cover the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005, before the new District of Columbia SOS contracts began. Consequently, Pepco had to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power on the market for next-day deliveries and the current District of Columbia SOS rates charged to customers during the period from January 23 through January 31, 2005. In addition, because the new District of Columbia SOS rates did not go into effect until February 8, 2005, Pepco had to pay the difference between the procurement cost of power under the new District of Columbia SOS contracts and the District of Columbia SOS rates charged to customers for the period from February 1 to February 7, 2005. The total amount of the difference is estimated to be approximately $8.7 million. This difference, however, will be included in the calculation of the Generation Procurement Credit (GPC) for the District of Columbia 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 earned providing SOS in the District of Columbia during the four-year period from February 8, 2001 through February 7, 2005. Currently, based on the rates paid by Pepco to Mirant under the TPA Settlement, there is no customer sharing. However, in the event that Pepco were to ultimately realize a significant

26
_____________________________________________________________________________

recovery from the Mirant bankruptcy estate associated with the TPA Settlement, the GPC would be recalculated, and the amount of customer sharing with respect to such recovery would be reduced because of the $8.7 million loss being included in the GPC calculation.

Maryland

Under a settlement approved by the MPSC in April 2003, Pepco is required to provide SOS at market rates to residential and small commercial customers through May 2008, to medium-sized commercial customers through May 2006, and to large commercial customers through May 2005. In accordance with the settlement, Pepco purchases the power supply required to satisfy its market rate SOS obligations from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure approved by the MPSC. Pepco is entitled to recover from its SOS customers the cost of the SOS supply plus an average margin of $0.002 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small and large commercial Maryland 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 amount of electricity used by the respective classes of customers over the time period.

Under a settlement approved by the MPSC in April 2003, DPL is required to provide SOS supply at market rates to residential and small commercial customers through May 2008, to medium-sized commercial customers through May 2006, and to large commercial customers through May 2005. In accordance with the settlement, DPL purchases the power supply required to satisfy its market rate SOS obligations from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure approved and supervised by the MPSC. DPL is entitled to recover from its SOS customers the costs of the SOS supply plus an average margin of $0.002 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small, and large commercial Maryland 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 amount of electricity used by the respective classes of cus tomers over the time period.

Virginia

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 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 that commenced on January 1, 2005 and expires in May 2006. A prior agreement, also with Conectiv Energy, terminated effective December 31, 2004. DPL entered into this supply agreement after conducting a competitive bid procedure in which Conectiv Energy was the lowest bidder.

27
_____________________________________________________________________________

order also directed the parties to file memoranda concerning whether administrative costs and a margin are properly recovered through a fuel clause mechanism. Memoranda were filed by DPL, the VSCC Staff and Virginia's Office of Attorney General. The VSCC ruled in January 2005 that the administrative charge and margin are base rate items not recoverable through a fuel clause. No appeal is planned regarding this filing. A settlement resolving all other issues and making the interim rates final was filed on March 4, 2005, the amount of the final rates being contingent only on possible future adjustment depending on the result of a related proceeding at FERC. The VSCC approved the settlement on March 25, 2005.

In October 2004, Conectiv Energy made a filing with FERC requesting authorization to enter into a contract to supply power to an affiliate, DPL, under the supply agreement described above. In December 2004, FERC granted the requested authorization effective January 1, 2005, subject to refund and hearings on the narrow question whether, in the absence of direct VSCC oversight over the DPL competitive bid process, DPL unduly preferred its own affiliate, Conectiv Energy, in the design and implementation of the DPL competitive bid process, or unduly favored Conectiv Energy in the credit criteria and analysis applied. DPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

Delaware

Under a settlement approved by the DPSC, DPL is required to provide POLR service to retail customers in Delaware until May 1, 2006. In October 2004, the DPSC initiated a proceeding to investigate and determine which entity should act as the SOS supplier in DPL's Delaware service territory after May 1, 2006, and what prices should be charged for SOS after May 1, 2006. The process used in Delaware consists of three separate stages. The stage 1 process was constructed to allow the DPSC to determine by February 28, 2005 the fundamental issues related to the selection of an SOS supplier. Stage 2 would resolve issues relating to the process under which supply would be acquired by the SOS provider and the way in which SOS prices would be set and monitored. In Stage 3, these selection and pricing mechanisms would be implemented to determine the post-May 2006 SOS supplier and the post-May 2006 SOS price. On January 26, 2005, the DPSC Staff issued a report recommending to the DPSC that DPL be selected as the SOS supplier, subject to further discussions as to how to establish SOS prices. On March 22, 2005, the DPSC issued an order approving DPL as the SOS provider at market rates after May 1, 2006, when DPL's current fixed rate POLR obligation ends. The DPSC will determine in the future the duration of DPL's market rate SOS obligation and the margin, if any, that it will be permitted to earn in conjunction with providing the SOS. The DPSC also approved a structure whereby DPL will purchase the power supply required to satisfy its market rate SOS obligations from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure.

Proposed Shut Down of B.L. England Generating Facility; Construction of Transmission Facilities

Pursuant to a September 2003 NJBPU order, ACE filed a report in April 2004 with the NJBPU recommending that the B.L. England generating facility be shut down. The report stated that the operation of the B.L. England facility is necessary at the time of the report to satisfy reliability standards, but that those reliability standards could also be satisfied in other ways. The report concludes that, based on B.L. England's current and projected operating costs resulting from compliance with more restrictive environmental requirements, the most cost-

_____________________________________________________________________________

effective way in which to meet reliability standards is to shut down the B.L. England facility and construct additional transmission enhancements in southern New Jersey.

The terms of an April 26, 2004 preliminary settlement among PHI, Conectiv, ACE, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the Attorney General of New Jersey, which are further discussed under "Preliminary Settlement Agreement with NJDEP," below, established emission limits for B.L. England's operations (which would become applicable on October 1, 2008 for Unit 1 and on May 1, 2009 for Unit 2 if B.L. England is not shut down) and required ACE to seek necessary approvals from agencies that may have jurisdiction to shut down and permanently cease operations at B.L. England by December 15, 2007, and to obtain approval to construct necessary substation and transmission facilities.

In letters dated May and September 2004 to 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 completed its independent analysis to determine the upgrades required to eliminate any identified reliability problems resulting from the retirement of B.L. England and 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 wou ld 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 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.

In November 2004, ACE made a filing with the NJBPU requesting the necessary approvals for construction of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England. The NJBPU issued an order on April 21, 2005, which unanimously approved the petition for the construction of the transmission upgrades, including the 230 kilovolt (kV) Cumberland to Dennis line, the138 kV Dennis to Corson line, and the 138 kV Cardiff to Lewis line. The approval states that these lines are necessary even if B.L. England does not shut down. On May 6, 2005, ACE announced that it would again auction its electric generation assets, including B.L. England. ACE intends to construct the transmission upgrades referred to above whether or not B.L. England is sold.

site. ACE contemplates that Phase II of this proceeding, which would be initiated by an ACE filing in 2008 or 2009, would establish the actual level of prudently incurred stranded costs to be recovered from customers in rates. Evidentiary hearings for the necessary approvals for construction of the transmission upgrades were held on March 28, 2005. It is expected that the NJBPU will rule on the petition in the second quarter of 2005. ACE cannot predict the outcome of these two proceedings.

General Litigation

During 1993, Pepco was served with Amended Complaints filed in the state Circuit Courts of Prince George's County, Baltimore City and Baltimore County, Maryland in separate ongoing, consolidated proceedings known as "In re: Personal Injury Asbestos Case." Pepco and other corporate entities were brought into these cases on a theory of premises liability. Under this theory, plaintiffs argue that Pepco was negligent in not providing a safe work environment for employees or its contractors, who allegedly were exposed to asbestos while working on Pepco's property. Initially, a total of approximately 448 individual plaintiffs added Pepco to their complaints. While the pleadings are not entirely clear, it appears that each plaintiff sought $2 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages from each defendant.

Since the initial filings in 1993, additional individual suits have been filed against Pepco, and significant numbers of cases have been dismissed. As a result of two motions to dismiss, numerous hearings and meetings and one motion for summary judgment, Pepco has had approximately 400 of these cases successfully dismissed with prejudice, either voluntarily by the plaintiff or by the court. Of the approximately 250 remaining asbestos cases pending against Pepco, approximately 85 cases were filed after December 19, 2000, and have been tendered to Mirant for defense and indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement.

While the aggregate amount of monetary damages sought in the remaining suits (excluding those tendered to Mirant) exceeds $400 million, Pepco believes the amounts claimed by current plaintiffs are greatly exaggerated. The amount of total liability, if any, and any related insurance recovery cannot be determined at this time; however, based on information and relevant circumstances known at this time, Pepco does not believe these suits will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. However, if an unfavorable decision were rendered against Pepco, it could have a material adverse effect on Pepco's and PHI's results of operations.

Environmental Litigation

PHI, through its subsidiaries, is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. PHI's subsidiaries may incur costs to clean up currently or formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices.

In May 2004, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) invited DPL to enter into pre-filing negotiations in connection with DPL's alleged liability under Comprehensive Environmental

30
_____________________________________________________________________________

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 at the Diamond State Salvage site in Wilmington, Delaware. In the context of the negotiations, DOJ informed DPL that DPL is a de minimis party at the site. In February 2005, DPL entered into a de minimis consent decree with the United States which, if approved by the U.S. District Court, would require DPL to pay $144,000 as reimbursement of the government's response costs, resolve DPL's alleged liability, and provide DPL a covenant not to sue from the United States and protection from third-party claims for contribution.

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 manufactured gas plant (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 approximately $300,000, approximately $50,000 of which will be expended in 2005. The costs of cleanup resulting from the RI/FS will not be determinable until the RI/FS is completed and an agreement with respect to cleanup is reached with the MDE. Due to project delays, DPL now expects that the completion date for the RI/FS will be in the fourth quarter of 2005.

In October 1995, Pepco and DPL each received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it, along with several hundred other companies, might be a potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with the Spectron Superfund Site in Elkton, Maryland. The site was operated as a hazardous waste disposal, recycling and processing facility from 1961 to 1988.

In August 2001, Pepco entered into a consent decree for de minimis parties with EPA to resolve its liability at this site. Under the terms of the consent decree, which was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in March 2003, Pepco made de minimis payments to the United States and a group of PRPs. In return, those parties agreed not to sue Pepco for past and future costs of remediation at the site and the United States will also provide protection against third-party claims for contributions related to response actions at the site. The consent decree does not cover any damages to natural resources. However, Pepco believes that any liability that it might incur due to natural resource damage at this site would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In April 1996 DPL, with numerous other PRPs, entered into an administrative order on consent with EPA to perform an RI/FS at the site. In February 2003 , the EPA informed DPL that it will have no future liability for contribution to the remediation of the site.

In the early 1970s, both Pepco and DPL sold scrap transformers, some of which may have contained some level of PCBs, to a metal reclaimer operating at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, owned by a nonaffiliated company. In December 1987, Pepco and DPL were notified by EPA that they, along with a number of other utilities and non-utilities, were PRPs in connection with the PCB contamination at the site.

In October 1994, an RI/FS including a number of possible remedies was submitted to the EPA. In December 1997, the EPA issued a Record of Decision that set forth a selected remedial action plan with estimated implementation costs of approximately $17 million. In June 1998, the EPA issued a unilateral administrative order to Pepco and 12 other PRPs to conduct the design and actions called for in its decision. In May 2003, two of the potentially liable owner/operator entities filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

31
_____________________________________________________________________________

In October 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed a Reorganization Plan that incorporates the terms of a settlement among the debtors, the United States and a group of utility PRPs including Pepco. Under the settlement, the reorganized entity/site owner will pay a total of $13.25 million to remediate the site.

As of May 1, 2005, Pepco had accrued $1.7 million to meet its liability for a site remedy. At the present time, it is not possible to estimate the total extent of EPA's administrative and oversight costs or the expense associated with a site remedy ultimately implemented. However, Pepco believes that its liability at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In 1999, DPL entered into a de minimis settlement with EPA and paid approximately $107,000 to resolve its liability for cleanup costs at the site. The de minimis settlement did not resolve DPL's responsibility for natural resource damages, if any, at the site. DPL believes that any liability for natural resource damages at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 1992, EPA identified ACE as a PRP at the Bridgeport Rental and Oil Services Superfund Site in Logan Township, New Jersey. In September 1996, ACE along with other PRPs signed a consent decree with EPA and NJDEP to address remediation of the site. ACE's liability is limited to 0.232 percent of the aggregate remediation liability and thus far ACE has made contributions of approximately $105,000. Based on information currently available, ACE may be required to contribute approximately an additional $100,000. ACE believes that its liability at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In November 1991, NJDEP identified ACE as a PRP at the Delilah Road Landfill site in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. In 1993, ACE, along with other PRPs, signed an administrative consent order with NJDEP to remediate the site. The soil cap remedy for the site has been completed and the NJDEP conditionally approved the report submitted by the parties on the implementation of the remedy in January 2003. In March 2004, NJDEP approved a Ground Water Sampling and Analysis Plan. The results of groundwater monitoring over the first year of this ground water sampling plan will help to determine the extent of post-remedy operation and maintenance costs. In March 2003, EPA demanded from the PRP group reimbursement for EPA's past costs at the site, totaling $168,789. The PRP group objected to the demand for certain costs, but agreed to reimburse EPA approximately $19,000. Based on information currently available, ACE may be required to contribute approximately an additional $626 ,000. ACE believes that its liability for post-remedy operation and maintenance costs will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the NJDEP

In an effort to address NJDEP's concerns regarding ACE's compliance with New Source Review (NSR) requirements at B.L. England, on April 26, 2004, PHI, Conectiv and ACE entered into a preliminary settlement agreement with NJDEP and the Attorney General of New Jersey. The preliminary settlement agreement outlines the basic parameters for a definitive agreement to resolve ACE's NSR liability at B.L. England and various other environmental issues at ACE and Conectiv Energy facilities in New Jersey. Among other things, the preliminary settlement agreement provides that:

32
_____________________________________________________________________________

·	contingent upon the receipt of necessary approvals from the NJBPU, PJM, North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), FERC, and other regulatory authorities and the receipt of permits to construct certain transmission facilities in southern New Jersey, ACE will permanently cease operation of the B.L. England generating facility by December 15, 2007. In the event that ACE is unable to shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007 through no fault of its own (e.g., because of failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals), B.L. England Unit 1 would be required to comply with stringent sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter emissions limits set forth in the preliminary settlement agreement by October 1, 2008, and B.L. England Unit 2 would be required to comply with these emissions limits by May 1, 2009. If ACE does not either shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007 or satisfy the emissions limits applicable in the eve nt shut down is not so completed, ACE would be required to pay significant monetary penalties.
·	to address ACE's appeal of NJDEP actions relating to NJDEP's July 2001 denial of ACE's request to renew a permit variance from sulfur-in-fuel requirements under New Jersey regulations, effective through July 30, 2001, that authorized Unit 1 at B.L. England generating facility to burn bituminous coal containing greater than 1% sulfur, ACE will be permitted to combust coal with a sulfur content of greater than 1% at the B.L. England facility in accordance with the terms of B.L. England's current permit until December 15, 2007 and NJDEP will not impose new, more stringent short-term SO₂ emissions limits on the B.L. England facility during this period. However, in the absence of a consent order or other final settlement document, which the parties continue to negotiate as required by the preliminary settlement agreement, ACE will need to seek, in July 2005, a renewal of its current fuel authorization, which is scheduled to expire on July 30, 2006.
·	to resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for violations of the permit provisions of the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act (APCA) and the Prevention of Significant Deterioration provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) relating to modifications that may have been undertaken at the B.L. England facility, ACE paid a $750,000 civil penalty to NJDEP on June 1, 2004. To compensate New Jersey for other alleged violations of the APCA and/or the CAA, ACE will undertake environmental projects valued at $2 million, which are beneficial to the state of New Jersey and approved by the NJDEP in a consent order or other final settlement document.
·	ACE will submit all federally required studies and complete construction of facilities, if any, necessary to satisfy the EPA's new cooling water intake structure regulations in accordance with the schedule that NJDEP established in the recent renewal of the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the B.L. England facility. The schedule takes into account ACE's agreement, provided that all regulatory approvals are obtained, to shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007.
33 ____________________________________________________________________________
·	to resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for natural resource damages resulting from groundwater contamination at the B.L. England facility, Conectiv Energy's Deepwater generating facility and ACE's operations center near Pleasantville, New Jersey, ACE and Conectiv will pay NJDEP $674,162 or property of equivalent value and will remediate the groundwater contamination at all three sites. If subsequent data indicate that groundwater contamination is more extensive than indicated in NJDEP's preliminary analysis, NJDEP may seek additional compensation for natural resource damages.

The preliminary settlement agreement provides that the parties will work toward a consent order or other final settlement document that reflects the terms of the preliminary settlement agreement. ACE, Conectiv and PHI continue to negotiate with the NJDEP the terms of a consent order or other final settlement document.

Federal Tax Treatment of cross-border Leases

PCI maintains a portfolio of cross-border energy sale-leaseback transactions, which as of March 31, 2005 had a book value of approximately $1.2 billion and from which PHI currently derives approximately $55 million per year in tax benefits in the form of interest and depreciation deductions. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 imposed new passive loss limitation rules that apply prospectively to leases (including cross-border leases) entered into after March 12, 2004 with tax indifferent parties (i.e., municipalities and tax exempt or governmental entities). All of PCI's cross-border energy leases are with tax indifferent parties and were entered into prior to 2004. Although this legislation is prospective in nature and does not affect PCI's existing cross-border energy leases, it does not prohibit the IRS from challenging prior leasing transactions. In this regard, on February 11, 2005, the Treasury Department and IRS issued Notice 2005-13 informing taxpayer s that the IRS intends to challenge on various grounds the purported tax benefits claimed by taxpayers entering into certain sale-leaseback transactions with tax-indifferent parties, including those entered into on or prior to March 12, 2004 (the Notice). PCI's cross-border energy leases are similar to those sale-leaseback transactions described in the Notice.

PCI's leases have been under examination by the IRS as part of the normal PHI tax audit. On May 4, 2005, the IRS issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment to PHI that challenges the tax benefits realized from interest and depreciation deductions claimed by PHI with respect to these leases for the tax years 2001 and 2002. The tax benefits claimed by PHI with respect to these leases from 2001 through the first quarter of 2005 were approximately $189 million. The ultimate outcome of this issue is uncertain; however, if the IRS prevails, PHI would be subject to additional taxes, along with interest and possibly penalties on the additional taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations and cash flow.

PHI believes that its tax position related to these transactions was proper based on applicable statutes, regulations and case law, and intends to contest any adjustments proposed by the IRS; however, there is no assurance that PHI's position will prevail.

repricing impact of the disallowed deductions. Such a charge to earnings, if required, is likely to have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations for the period in which the charge is recorded.

In recent deliberations, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has determined that a change in the timing of tax benefits also should require a repricing of the lease and an adjustment to the book value of a lease. Under this interpretation, a material change in the timing of cash flows under PHI's cross-border leases as the result of a settlement with the IRS also would require an adjustment to the book value. PHI understands that the FASB intends to publish this guidance for comment in the near future to become effective at the end of 2005. If adopted, the application of this guidance could result in a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations even if the resolution is limited to a deferral of the tax benefits realized by PCI from its leases.

Third Party Guarantees, Indemnifications, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Pepco Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnification obligations which are entered into in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties as discussed below.

As of March 31, 2005, Pepco Holdings and its subsidiaries were parties to a variety of agreements pursuant to which they were guarantors for standby letters of credit, performance residual value, and other commitments and obligations. The fair value of these commitments and obligations was not required to be recorded in Pepco Holdings' Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, certain energy marketing obligations of Conectiv Energy were recorded. The commitments and obligations, in millions of dollars, were as follows:

	Guarantor
		PHI		DPL		ACE		PCI		Total
Energy marketing obligations of Conectiv Energy (1)	$	157.8	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	157.8
Energy procurement obligations of Pepco Energy Services (1)		7.0		-		-		-		7.0
Standby letters of credit of Pepco Holdings (2)		.6		-		-		-		.6
Guaranteed lease residual values (3)		.7		3.1		3.1		-		6.9
Loan agreement (4)		13.1		-		-		-		13.1
Other (5)		20.4		-		-		2.9		23.3
Total	$	199.6	$	3.1	$	3.1	$	2.9	$	208.7

1.	Pepco Holdings has 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 BGS contracts for ACE.
2.	Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $.6 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 $.6 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

35
_____________________________________________________________________________

	March 31, 2005, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $6.9 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.
5.	Other guarantees comprise:
	·	Pepco Holdings has performance obligations of $1.7 million relating to obligations to third party suppliers of equipment.
	·	Pepco Holdings has guaranteed payment of a bond issued by a subsidiary of $14.9 million. Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount of the exposure under the guarantee.
	·	Pepco Holdings has guaranteed a subsidiary building lease of $3.8 million. Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount of the exposure under the guarantee.
	·	PCI has guaranteed facility rental obligations related to contracts entered into by Starpower Communications LLC. As of March 31, 2005, the guarantees cover the remaining $2.9 million in rental obligations.

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 indemniti es.

Dividends

On April 27, 2005, Pepco Holdings' Board of Directors declared a dividend on common stock of 25 cents per share payable June 30, 2005, to shareholders of record on June 10, 2005.

(5) USE OF DERIVATIVES IN ENERGY AND INTEREST RATE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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 "Accounting for Derivatives" in Note 2 and "Use of Derivatives in Energy and Interest Rate Hedging Activities" in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of PHI included in PHI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for a discussion of the accounting treatment of the derivatives used by PHI and its subsidiaries.

The table below provides detail on effective cash flow hedges under SFAS 133 included in PHI's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005. Under SFAS 133, cash flow hedges are marked-to-market on the balance sheet with corresponding adjustments to AOCI. The data in the table indicates the magnitude of the effective cash flow hedges by hedge type (i.e., other energy commodity and interest rate hedges), maximum term, and portion expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months.

Cash Flow Hedges Included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss As of March 31, 2005 (Dollars in Millions)
Contracts		Accumulated OCI (Loss) After Tax (1)			Portion Expected to be Reclassified to Earnings during the Next 12 Months			Maximum Term
Other Energy Commodity		$	17.9		$	27.7		60 months
Interest Rate			(45.6	)		(7.3	)	329 months
Total		$	(27.7	)	$	20.4

(1)	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as of March 31, 2005, includes $(4.1) million for an adjustment for minimum pension liability. This adjustment is not included in this table as it is not a cash flow hedge.

The following table shows, in millions of dollars, the pre-tax gain or (loss) recognized in earnings for cash flow hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and where they were reported in PHI's consolidated statements of earnings during the periods.

	2005			2004
Operating Revenue	$	1.1		$	(2.8	)
Fuel and Purchased Energy		(.9	)		(1.7	)
Total	$	.2		$	(4.5	)

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no forecasted hedged transactions deemed to be no longer probable.

37
_____________________________________________________________________________

In connection with their other energy commodity activities and discontinued proprietary trading activities, PHI's competitive energy segments hold certain derivatives that do not qualify as hedges. Under SFAS 133, these derivatives are marked-to-market through earnings with corresponding adjustments on the balance sheet. The pre-tax gains (losses) on these derivatives are summarized in the following table, in millions of dollars, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Proprietary Trading	$	-	$	(.2	)
Other Energy Commodity		1.7		1.2
Total	$	1.7	$	1.0

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (DEBT)

On May 5, 2005, Pepco Holdings, Pepco, DPL and ACE entered into a five-year credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing limit of $1.2 billion. This agreement replaces a $650 million five-year credit agreement that was entered into in July 2004 and a $550 million three-year credit agreement entered into in July 2003. Pepco Holdings' credit limit under this agreement is $700 million. The credit limit of each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is the lower of $300 million and the maximum amount of debt the company is permitted to have outstanding by its regulatory authorities, except that the aggregate amount of credit used by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreement may not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the companies are entitled to request increases in the principal amount of available credit up to an aggregate increase of $300 million, with any such increase proportionately increasing the credit limit of each of the respective borrowers and the $300 million sublimits for each of Pepco, DPL and ACE. The interest rate payable by the respective companies on utilized funds will be based on a pricing schedule determined by the credit rating of the borrower. The indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement is unsecured.

The credit agreement is intended to serve primarily as a source of liquidity to support the commercial paper programs of the respective companies. The companies also are permitted to use the facility to borrow funds for general corporate purposes and issue letters of credit. In order for a borrower to use the facility, certain representations and warranties made by the borrower at the time the credit agreement was entered into also must be true at the time the facility is utilized, and the borrower must be in compliance with specified covenants, including the financial covenant described below. However, a material adverse change in the borrower's business, property, or financial condition subsequent to the entry into the credit agreement is not a condition to the availability of credit under the facility. Among the covenants contained in the credit agreement are (i) 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 agreement, (ii) a restriction on sales or other dispositions of assets, other than sales and dispositions permitted by the credit agreement and (iii) a restriction on the incurrence of liens on the assets of a borrower or any of its significant subsidiaries other than liens permitted by the credit agreement. The failure to satisfy any of the covenants or the occurrence of specified events that constitute events of default that could result in the acceleration of repayment obligations of the borrower. The events of default include (i) the failure of any borrowing company or any of its significant subsidiaries to pay when due, or the acceleration of, certain

38
_____________________________________________________________________________

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 agreement) of Pepco Holdings or the failure of Pepco Holdings to own all of the voting stock of Pepco, DPL and ACE. The agreement does not include any ratings triggers.

In May 2005, Conectiv called for early redemption on June 1, 2005, all of the remaining $20 million of 6.73% Series A due June 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount outstanding and the make-whole call provision, to be determined prior to the call date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

(1) ORGANIZATION

Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Washington, D.C. and major portions of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in suburban Maryland. Additionally, Pepco provides Standard Offer Service, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its territories who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive supplier. Pepco's service territory covers approximately 640 square miles and has a population of approximately 2 million. Pepco is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings or PHI). Because PHI is a public utility holding company registered under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA), the relationship between PHI and Pepco and certain activities of Pepco are subject to the regulatory oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under PUHCA.

(2) ACCOUNTING POLICY, PRONOUNCEMENTS, AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Financial Statement Presentation

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 for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 March 31, 2005, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2005 since the sales of electric energy are seasonal. A dditionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

FIN 45

As of March 31, 2005, Pepco did not have material obligations under guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002, which are required to be recognized as a liability on its balance sheets.

FIN 46R

Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of Pepco's purchase power agreement with one entity, Panda-Brandywine, L.P. (Panda PPA), Pepco potentially assumes the variability in the operations of the plants of this entity and therefore has a variable interest in the entity. As required by FIN 46R, Pepco continued to conduct exhaustive efforts to obtain information from this entity but 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

45
_____________________________________________________________________________

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 March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $20 million in each period. Pepco's exposure to loss under the Panda PPA is discussed in Note (4), Commitments and Contingencies, under "Relationship with Mirant Corporation."

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following Pepco Holdings information is for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

		Pension Benefits						Other Post-Retirement Benefits
		2005			2004			2005			2004
	(In Millions)
Service cost	$	9.4		$	9.6		$	2.1		$	2.4
Interest cost		24.3			23.8			8.4			8.3
Expected return on plan assets		(30.7	)		(29.8	)		(2.5	)		(2.8	)
Amortization of prior service cost		.3			.3			(1.0	)		-
Amortization of net loss		2.5			4.5			2.5			3.1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	5.8		$	8.4		$	9.5		$	11.0

Pension

The 2005 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $5.8 million includes $2.6 million for Pepco. The 2004 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $8.4 million includes $3.6 million for Pepco. The remaining pension net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Pension Contributions

46
_____________________________________________________________________________

Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The 2005 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $9.5 million includes $3.1 million for Pepco. The 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $11.0 million includes $4.5 million for Pepco. The remaining other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Effective Tax Rate

Pepco's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 44% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are 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.

Pepco's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 38% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are 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 rate as compared to 2005) 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.

Related Party Transactions

PHI Service Company provides various administrative and professional services to PHI and its regulated and unregulated subsidiaries, including Pepco, pursuant to a service agreement. The cost of these services is allocated in accordance with cost allocation methodologies set forth in the service agreement using a variety of factors, including the subsidiaries' share of employees, operating expenses, assets, and other cost causal methods. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation and no profit results from these transactions. PHI Service Company costs directly charged or allocated to Pepco for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $26.2 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

Certain subsidiaries of Pepco Energy Services perform utility maintenance services, including services that are treated as capital costs, for Pepco. Amounts paid by Pepco to these companies for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $2.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Pepco had the following significant balances on its Consolidated Balance Sheets due to and from related parties:

47
_____________________________________________________________________________

	2005	2004
	(In Millions)
Payable to Related Party (current)
PHI Service Company	$(15.7)	$(12.9)
Pepco Energy Services (a)	(32.0)	(12.5)
Money Pool Balance with Pepco Holdings (included in short-term debt on the balance sheet)	(36.4)	(14.0)

(a)	Pepco bills customers on behalf of Pepco Energy Services where customers have selected Pepco Energy Services as their alternative supplier or where Pepco Energy Services has performed work for certain government agencies under a General Services Administration area-wide agreement.

New Accounting Standards

FIN 47

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations applies to conditional asset retirement obligations as defined and requires that the fair value of a reasonably estimable conditional asset retirement obligation be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the asset. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for Pepco). Pepco is in the process of evaluating the anticipated impact that the implementation of FIN 47 will have on its overall financial position or net results of operations.

(3) SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," Pepco has one segment, its regulated utility business.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS

Relationship with Mirant Corporation

48
_____________________________________________________________________________

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.

Transition Power Agreements

Power Purchase Agreements

Pepco Pre-Petition Claims

49
_____________________________________________________________________________

Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding. Pepco has filed Proofs of Claim in the Mirant bankruptcy proceeding in the amount of approximately $26 million to recover this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain. The $3 million difference between Mirant's unpaid obligation to Pepco and the $26 million Proofs of Claim primarily represents a TPA settlement adjustment which is included in the $105 million Proofs of Claim filed by Pepco against the Mirant debtors in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim. In view of the uncertainty as to recoverability, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant. In January 2004, Pepco paid approximately $2.5 million to Panda in settlement of certain billing disputes under the Panda PPA that related to periods after the sale of Pepco's generation assets to Mirant. Pepco believes that under the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Mirant is obligated to reimburse Pepco for the settlement payment. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2004, Pepco increased the amount of the receivable due from Mirant by approximately $2.5 million and amended its Proofs of Claim to include this amount. Pepco currently estimates that the $14.5 million expensed in the third quarter of 2003 represents the portion of the entire $31.5 million receivable unlikely to be recovered in bankruptcy, and no additional reserve has been established for the $2.5 million increase in the receivable. The amount expensed represents Pepco's estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recovered could be higher or lower.

Mirant's Attempt to Reject 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 on jurisdictional grounds. The District Court's decision was appealed by Mirant and The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Corporation (the Creditors' Committee) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the Court of Appeals). On August 4, 2004, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court saying that the District Court 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.

As more fully discussed below, Mirant had been making regular periodic payments in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations. On December 9,` 2004, Mirant filed a notice with the Bankruptcy Court that it was suspending payments to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations. On December 13, 2004, Mirant failed to make a payment of approximately $17.9 million due to Pepco for the period November 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004. On December 23,

50
_____________________________________________________________________________

2004, Pepco received a payment of approximately $6.8 million from Mirant, which according to Mirant represented the market value of the power for which payment was due on December 13. At that time, Mirant informed Pepco that it intended to continue to pay the market value, but not the above-market portion, of the power purchased under the PPA-Related Obligations. Pepco disagreed with Mirant's assertion that it need only pay the market value and believed that the amount representing the market value calculated by Mirant was insufficient.

On March 28, 2005, Pepco, FERC, the District of Columbia OPC, the MPSC and the Maryland OPC filed oppositions to the Second Motion to Reject in the District Court.

If Mirant ultimately is successful in rejecting the PPA-Related Obligations, Pepco could be required to repay to Mirant, for the period beginning on the effective date of the rejection (which

51
_____________________________________________________________________________

date could be prior to the date of the court's order granting the rejection 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 that September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $185.6 million as of May 1, 2005.

Mirant has also indicated to the Bankruptcy Court that it will move 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) through rejection, if approved, 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, in addition to the amounts described above, is approximately $22.5 million.

52
_____________________________________________________________________________

distribution to the creditors of the Mirant companies determined to be liable for those claims, 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 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 distribut ion 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.

The SMECO Agreement

53
_____________________________________________________________________________

Mirant Plan of Reorganization

On March 11, 2005, Mirant filed an application with FERC seeking approval for the internal transfers and corporate restructuring that will result from its proposed Plan of Reorganization. Mirant must obtain FERC approval for these transactions under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act. On April 1, 2005, Pepco filed a motion to intervene and protest at FERC in connection with Mirant's March 11 FERC filing. On the same date, the District of Columbia OPC also filed a motion to intervene and protest.

On March 25, 2005, Mirant filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and First Amended Disclosure Statement. Pepco is currently analyzing this amended plan.

Rate Proceedings

Pepco's delivery rates in the District of Columbia generally are capped through July 2007, except with respect to residential low-income customers, for whom rates generally are capped through July 2009. In July 2004, Pepco filed a distribution rate review case with the DCPSC as required by the terms of the Pepco-Conectiv merger settlement approved by the DCPSC to determine whether Pepco's distribution rates would be decreased during the period the rates are capped. In accordance with the terms of the merger settlement, Pepco's distribution rates cannot be increased as a result of this proceeding. On April 7, 2005, the DCPSC approved a settlement of this proceeding, which provides that Pepco's current distribution rates will remain unchanged through the end of the rate cap periods set forth above, except as otherwise provided in the merger settlement, or as may otherwise be required by the Commission or by law.

Divestiture Cases

District of Columbia

54
_____________________________________________________________________________

relevant to that principal issue. Comments on the NOPR were filed by several parties in June 2003, and the IRS held a public hearing later in June 2003. As a result of the NOPR, three of the parties in the divestiture case filed comments with the DCPSC urging the DCPSC to decide the tax issues now on the basis of the proposed rule. Pepco filed comments with the DCPSC in reply to those comments, in which Pepco stated that the courts have held and the IRS has stated that proposed rules are not authoritative and that no decision should be issued on the basis of proposed rules. Instead, Pepco argued that the only prudent course of action is for the DCPSC to await the issuance of final regulations relating to the tax issues and then allow the parties to file supplemental briefs on the tax issues. Pepco cannot predict whether the IRS will adopt the regulations as proposed, make changes before issuing final regulations or decide not to adopt regulations. Other issues in the proceeding deal with the treatment of internal costs and cost allocations as deductions from the gross proceeds of the divestiture.

Pepco believes that its calculation of the District of Columbia customers' share of divestiture proceeds is correct. However, depending on the ultimate outcome of this proceeding, Pepco could be required to make additional gain-sharing payments to District of Columbia customers, including the payments described above related to EDIT and ADITC. Such additional payments (which, other than the EDIT and ADITC related payments, cannot be estimated) would be charged to expense in the quarter and year in which a final decision is rendered and could have a material adverse effect on Pepco's and PHI's results of operations for those periods. However, neither PHI nor Pepco believes that additional gain-sharing payments, if any, or the ADITC-related payments to the IRS, if required, would have a material adverse impact on its financial condition. It is uncertain when the DCPSC will issue a decision.

Maryland

55
_____________________________________________________________________________

Pepco would have to share with its Maryland customers, on an approximately 50/50 basis, the Maryland allocated portion of the generation-related EDIT, i.e., $9.1 million as of May 1, 2005, and the generation-related ADITC. If such sharing were to violate the normalization rules, Pepco, in addition to sharing with customers an amount equal to approximately 50 percent of the generation-related ADITC balance, would be unable to use accelerated depreciation on Maryland allocated or assigned property. Furthermore, Pepco would have to pay to the IRS an amount equal to Pepco's $10.4 million Maryland jurisdictional generation-related ADITC balance as of May 1, 2005, as well as its Maryland retail jurisdictional ADITC transmission and distribution-related balance as of the later of the date a MPSC order is issued and all rights to appeal have been exhausted or lapsed, or the date the MPSC order becomes operative. As of May 1, 2005, the Maryland retail jurisdictional transmission and dist ribution-related ADITC balance was approximately $10.4 million. The Hearing Examiner decided all other issues in favor of Pepco, except that only one-half of the severance payments that Pepco included in its calculation of corporate reorganization costs should be deducted from the sales proceeds before sharing of the net gain between Pepco and customers. See also the disclosure above under "Divestiture Cases - District of Columbia" regarding the March 2003 IRS NOPR.

The administrative charges went into effect for Pepco's District of Columbia SOS sales on February 8, 2005. Pepco completed the first competitive procurement process for District of Columbia SOS at the end of October and filed the proposed new SOS rates with the DCPSC on November 3, 2004.

Maryland

General Litigation

57
_____________________________________________________________________________

corporate entities were brought into these cases on a theory of premises liability. Under this theory, plaintiffs argue that Pepco was negligent in not providing a safe work environment for employees or its contractors, who allegedly were exposed to asbestos while working on Pepco's property. Initially, a total of approximately 448 individual plaintiffs added Pepco to their complaints. While the pleadings are not entirely clear, it appears that each plaintiff sought $2 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages from each defendant.

Environmental Litigation

Pepco is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. Pepco may incur costs to clean up currently or formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices.

In October 1995, Pepco received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it, along with several hundred other companies, might be a potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with the Spectron Superfund Site in Elkton, Maryland. The site was operated as a hazardous waste disposal, recycling and processing facility from 1961 to 1988.

58
_____________________________________________________________________________

In the early 1970s, Pepco sold scrap transformers, some of which may have contained some level of PCBs, to a metal reclaimer operating at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, owned by a nonaffiliated company. In December 1987, Pepco was notified by EPA that it, along with a number of other utilities and non-utilities, was a PRP in connection with the PCB contamination at the site.

In October 1994, a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study including a number of possible remedies was submitted to the EPA. In December 1997, the EPA issued a Record of Decision that set forth a selected remedial action plan with estimated implementation costs of approximately $17 million. In June 1998, the EPA issued a unilateral administrative order to Pepco and 12 other PRPs to conduct the design and actions called for in its decision. In May 2003, two of the potentially liable owner/operator entities filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In October 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed a Reorganization Plan that incorporates the terms of a settlement among the debtors, the United States and a group of utility PRPs including Pepco. Under the settlement, the reorganized entity/site owner will pay a total of $13.25 million to remediate the site.

(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT (DEBT)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DELMARVA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

(1) ORGANIZATION

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. Additionally, DPL provides Default Electricity Supply, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its territories who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive supplier. Default Electricity Supply is also known as Default Service in Virginia, Standard Offer Service (SOS) in Maryland, as well as in Delaware on and after May 1, 2006, and Provider of Last Resort service (POLR) in Delaware before May 1, 2006. DPL's electricity distribution service territory covers approximately 6,000 square miles and has a population of approximately 1.28 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 subsidi ary of Conectiv, which is wholly owned by Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings or PHI). Because PHI is a public utility holding company registered under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA), the relationship between PHI and DPL and certain activities of DPL are subject to the regulatory oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under PUHCA.

(2) ACCOUNTING POLICY, PRONOUNCEMENTS, AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Financial Statement Presentation

DPL'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 DPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. In the opinion of DPL's management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (which all are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly DPL's financial condition as of March 31, 2005, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2005 since the sales of electric energy are seasonal. Addi tionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

FIN 45

As of March 31, 2005, DPL did not have material obligations under guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002, which are required to be recognized as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets.

66
_____________________________________________________________________________

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following Pepco Holdings information is for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Amortization of net loss		2.5			4.5			2.5			3.1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	5.8		$	8.4		$	9.5		$	11.0

Pension

The 2005 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $5.8 million includes $(1.3) million for DPL. The 2004 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $8.4 million includes $(.5) million for DPL. The remaining pension net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Pension Contributions

Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The 2005 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $9.5 million includes $2.5 million for DPL. The 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $11.0 million includes $2.3 million for DPL. The remaining other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

67
_____________________________________________________________________________

Effective Tax Rate

DPL's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 46% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are 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, partially offset by the flow-through of deferred investment tax credits.

DPL's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 41% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are 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.

Related Party Transactions

PHI Service Company provides various administrative and professional services to PHI and its regulated and unregulated subsidiaries, including DPL, pursuant to a service agreement. The cost of these services is allocated in accordance with cost allocation methodologies set forth in the service agreement using a variety of factors, including the subsidiaries' share of employees, operating expenses, assets, and other cost causal methods. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation and no profit results from these transactions. PHI Service Company costs directly charged or allocated to DPL for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were $24.6 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

In addition to the PHI Service Company charges described above, DPL's Statements of Earnings include the following related party transactions:

	For the Quarters Ended March 31,

New Accounting Standards

FIN 47

In March 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations applies to conditional asset retirement obligations as defined and requires that the fair value of a reasonably estimable conditional asset retirement obligation be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the asset. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for DPL). DPL is in the process of evaluating the anticipated impact that the implementation of FIN 47 will have on its overall financial position or net results of operations.

(3) SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," DPL has one segment, its regulated utility business.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

_____________________________________________________________________________

rates by an additional 6.5% effective December 29, 2004. The additional GCR increase became effective December 29, 2004 and, similarly, is subject to refund pending evidentiary hearings. The DPSC Staff and the Division of Public Advocate filed their testimony on March 7, 2005 recommending full approval of the GCR changes being sought by DPL, including the revisions to the tariff in the original and supplemental filings. An evidentiary hearing was held on May 5, 2005, at which both DPSC staff and the Division of Public Advocate testified that the rates sought by DPL should be approved as filed. A final order addressing both the November 1 and December 29 increases is expected in the second quarter of 2005.

SOS and Default Service Proceedings

Maryland

Under a settlement approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) in April 2003, DPL is required to provide SOS supply at market rates to residential and small commercial customers through May 2008, to medium-sized commercial customers through May 2006, and to large commercial customers through May 2005. In accordance with the settlement, DPL purchases the power supply required to satisfy its market rate SOS obligations from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure approved and supervised by the MPSC. DPL is entitled to recover from its SOS customers the costs of the SOS supply plus an average margin of $0.002 per kilowatt hour, calculated based on total sales to residential, small, and large commercial Maryland 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 amount of electricity used by the respective classes of customers over the time period.

Virginia

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 a subsidiary of Conectiv Energy Holding Company (Conectiv Energy) that commenced on January 1, 2005 and expires in May 2006. A prior agreement, also with Conectiv Energy, terminated effective December 31, 2004. DPL entered

70
_____________________________________________________________________________

into this supply agreement after conducting a competitive bid procedure in which Conectiv Energy was the lowest bidder.

In October 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 a margin. A VSCC order issued in November 2004 allowed DPL to put interim rates into effect on January 1, 2005, subject to refund if the VSCC subsequently determined the rate is excessive. The interim rates reflected an increase of 1.0247 cents per kwh to the fuel rate, which provide for recovery of the entire amount being paid by DPL to Conectiv Energy, but did not include an administrative charge or margin, pending further consideration of this issue. Therefore, the November 2004 order also directed the parties to file memoranda concerning whether administrative costs and a margin are properly recovered through a fuel clause mechanism. Memoranda were filed by DPL, the VSCC Staff and Virginia's Office of Attorney Ge neral. The VSCC ruled in January 2005 that the administrative charge and margin are base rate items not recoverable through a fuel clause. No appeal is planned regarding this filing. A settlement resolving all other issues and making the interim rates final was filed on March 4, 2005, the amount of the final rates being contingent only on possible future adjustment depending on the result of a related proceeding at FERC. The VSCC approved the settlement on March 25, 2005.

Delaware

Environmental Litigation

DPL is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. DPL may incur costs to clean up currently or

71
_____________________________________________________________________________

formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices.

In May 2004, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) invited DPL to enter into pre-filing negotiations in connection with DPL's alleged liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 at the Diamond State Salvage site in Wilmington, Delaware. In the context of the negotiations, DOJ informed DPL that DPL is a de minimis party at the site. In February 2005, DPL entered into a de minimis consent decree with the United States which, if approved by the U.S. District Court, would require DPL to pay $144,000 as reimbursement of the government's response costs, resolve DPL's alleged liability, and provide DPL a covenant not to sue from the United States and protection from third-party claims for contribution.

In October 1995, DPL received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it, along with several hundred other companies, might be a potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with the Spectron Superfund Site in Elkton, Maryland. The site was operated as a hazardous waste disposal, recycling and processing facility from 1961 to 1988. In April 1996 DPL, with numerous other PRPs, entered into an administrative order on consent with EPA to perform an RI/FS at the site. In February 2003, the EPA informed DPL that it will have no future liability for contribution to the remediation of the site.

In the early 1970s, DPL sold scrap transformers, some of which may have contained some level of PCBs, to a metal reclaimer operating at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, owned by a nonaffiliated company. In December 1987, DPL was notified by EPA that it, along with a number of other utilities and non-utilities, was a PRP in connection with the PCB contamination at the site. In 1999, DPL entered into a de minimis settlement with EPA and paid approximately $107,000 to resolve its liability for cleanup costs at the site. The de minimis settlement did not resolve DPL's responsibility for natural resource damages, if any, at the site. DPL believes that any liability for natural resource damages at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT (DEBT)

_____________________________________________________________________________

its regulatory authorities, except that the aggregate amount of credit used by Pepco, DPL and ACE at any given time under the agreement may not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the companies are entitled to request increases in the principal amount of available credit up to an aggregate increase of $300 million, with any such increase proportionately increasing the credit limit of each of the respective borrowers and the $300 million sublimits for each of Pepco, DPL and ACE. The interest rate payable by the respective companies on utilized funds will be based on a pricing schedule determined by the credit rating of the borrower. The indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement is unsecured.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY

(1) ORGANIZATION

Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE) is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in southern New Jersey. Additionally, ACE provides Basic Generation Service, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive supplier. ACE's service territory covers approximately 2,700 square miles and has a population of approximately 998,000. ACE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Conectiv, which is wholly owned by Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Pepco Holdings or PHI). Because PHI is a public utility holding company registered under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA), the relationship between PHI and ACE and certain activities of ACE are subject to the regulatory oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under PUHCA.

(2) ACCOUNTING POLICY, PRONOUNCEMENTS, AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Financial Statement Presentation

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 for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 March 31, 2005, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2005 since the sales of electric energ y are seasonal. Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation.

FIN 45

As of March 31, 2005, ACE did not have material obligations under guarantees or indemnifications issued or modified after December 31, 2002, which are required to be recognized as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets.

FIN 46R

ACE has power purchase agreements (PPAs) with a number of entities including three Non-Utility Generation contracts (NUGs). Due to a variable element in the pricing structure of the NUGs, ACE potentially assumes the variability in the operations of the plants of these entities and therefore has a variable interest in the entities. As required by FIN 46R, ACE continued to conduct exhaustive efforts to obtain information from these entities but 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,

79
_____________________________________________________________________________

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 the counterparties to the NUGs in the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $80 million and $67 million, respectively, of which $71 million and $58 million, respectively, related to power purchases under the NUGs. ACE does not have exposure to loss under the PPA agreements since cost recovery will be achieved from its customers through regulated rates.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following Pepco Holdings information is for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

		Pension Benefits						Other Post-Retirement Benefits
		2005			2004			2005			2004

Amortization of net loss		2.5			4.5			2.5			3.1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	5.8		$	8.4		$	9.5		$	11.0

Pension

The 2005 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $5.8 million includes $2.1 million for ACE. The 2004 pension net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $8.4 million includes $2.1 million for ACE. The remaining pension net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Pension Contributions

80
_____________________________________________________________________________

Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The 2005 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $9.5 million includes $2.3 million for ACE. The 2004 other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, of $11.0 million includes $2.5 million for ACE. The remaining other post-retirement net periodic benefit cost is for other PHI subsidiaries.

Medium-Term Note Retirement

In March 2005, ACE retired at maturity $10 million of 6.67% medium-term notes and $2 million of 6.65% medium-term notes.

Effective Tax Rate

ACE's effective tax rate before the extraordinary item for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 38% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are state income taxes (net of federal benefit), the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences, change in estimates related to tax liabilities of prior tax years subject to audit, and the flow-through of deferred investment tax credits.

ACE's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 42% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are state income taxes (net of federal benefit), the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences, offset by the flow-through of deferred investment tax credits.

Extraordinary Item

On April 19, 2005, a settlement related to ACE's electric distribution rate case was reached among ACE, the Staff of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), the New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate, and active intervenor parties. As a result of this settlement, ACE reversed $15.2 million ($9.0 million, after-tax) in accruals related to certain deferred costs that are now deemed recoverable. The after-tax credit to income of $9.0 million is classified as an extraordinary item (gain) since the original accrual was part of an extraordinary charge in conjunction with the accounting for competitive restructuring in 1999.

Related Party Transactions

PHI Service Company provides various administrative and professional services to PHI and its regulated and unregulated subsidiaries, including ACE, pursuant to a service agreement. The cost of these services is allocated in accordance with cost allocation methodologies set forth in the service agreement using a variety of factors, including the subsidiaries' share of employees, operating expenses, assets, and other cost causal methods. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation and no profit results from these transactions. PHI Service Company costs directly charged or allocated to ACE for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were $20.7 million and $22.2 million, respectively.

In addition to the PHI Service Company charges described above, ACE's Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the following related party transactions:

New Accounting Standards

FIN 47

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations applies to conditional asset retirement obligations as defined and requires that the fair value of a reasonably estimable conditional asset retirement obligation be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the asset. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for ACE). ACE is in the process of evaluating the anticipated impact that the implementation of FIN 47 will have on its overall financial position or net results of operations.

(3) SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," ACE has one segment, its regulated utility business.

82
_____________________________________________________________________________

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS

Rate Proceedings

The proposed settlement will allow for an increase in ACE's base rates of approximately $18.8 million, $2.8 million of which would come from an increase in RARC revenue collections. $16 million of the base rate increase, not related to RARC collections, will be collected annually until such time as base rates change pursuant to another base rate proceeding. The $2.8 million in RARC collections will be collected each year for four years. The $18.8 million increase in base rate revenue will be offset by a base rate revenue decrease in a similar amount in total resulting from a change in depreciation rate, which is further discussed below, similar to what has been adopted by the NJBPU for other New Jersey electric utility companies. Overall, the settlement provides for a net decrease in revenues of approximately $.3 million, consisting of a $3.1 million reduction of distribution revenues offset by the $2.8 million increase in RARC revenue collections mentioned above. The proposed settlement specifies an overall rate of return of 8.14%. The proposed settlement provides for a change in depreciation rates driven by a change in average service lives. In addition, the settlement provides for a change in depreciation technique from remaining life to whole life, including amortization of any calculated excess or deficiencies in the depreciation reserve. As a result of these changes there is a net excess depreciation reserve. Accordingly ACE recorded a regulatory liability in March 2005 by reducing its depreciation reserve by approximately $131 million. The regulatory liability will be amortized over 8.25 years and will result in a reduction of depreciation and amortization expense on ACE's consolidated statements of earnings. While the impact of the settlement will be essentially revenue and cash neutral to ACE, there will be a positive annual pre-tax earnings impact to ACE of approximately $20 million.

83
_____________________________________________________________________________

$116.8 million, including a portion of the $25.4 million of costs transferred first into the Phase I proceeding from other proceedings and then ultimately into the Phase II proceeding, offset by the return over one year of over-collected balances in certain other deferred accounts, with the net result being that there will be no rate impact from the deferral account recoveries and credits for at least one year.

Restructuring Deferral

Pursuant to a July 1999 summary order issued by the NJBPU under EDECA (which was subsequently affirmed by a final decision and order issued in March 2001), ACE was obligated to provide Basic Generation Service (BGS) from August 1, 1999 to at least July 31, 2002 to retail electricity customers in ACE's service territory who did not choose a competitive energy supplier. The order allowed ACE to recover through customer rates certain costs incurred in providing BGS. ACE's obligation to provide BGS was subsequently extended to July 31, 2003. At the allowed rates, for the period August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2003, ACE's aggregate allowed costs exceeded its aggregate revenues from supplying BGS. These under-recovered costs were partially offset by a $59.3 million deferred energy cost liability existing as of July 31, 1999 (LEAC Liability) that was related to ACE's Levelized Energy Adjustment Clause and ACE's Demand Side Management Programs. ACE established a regulatory asset in an amount equal to the balance.

84
_____________________________________________________________________________

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 NJ Superior Court, which hears appeals of New Jersey administrative agencies, including the NJBPU, a Notice of Appeal related to the July 2004 final order. ACE cannot predict the outcome of this appeal.

Proposed Shut Down of B.L. England Generating Facility; Construction of Transmission Facilities

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 completed its independent analysis to determine the upgrades required to eliminate any identified reliability problems resulting from the retirement of B.L. England and 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 rec over 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 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.

85
_____________________________________________________________________________

In December 2004, ACE filed a petition with the NJBPU requesting that the NJBPU establish a proceeding that will consist of a Phase I and Phase II and that the procedural process for the Phase I proceeding require intervention and participation by all persons interested in the prudence of the decision to shut down B.L. England generating facility and the categories of stranded costs associated with shutting down and dismantling the facility and remediation of the site. ACE contemplates that Phase II of this proceeding, which would be initiated by an ACE filing in 2008 or 2009, would establish the actual level of prudently incurred stranded costs to be recovered from customers in rates. Evidentiary hearings for the necessary approvals for construction of the transmission upgrades were held on March 28, 2005. It is expected that the NJBPU will rule on the petition in the second quarter of 2005. ACE cannot predict the outcome of these two proceedings.

Environmental Litigation

ACE is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. ACE may incur costs to clean up currently or formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices.

In June 1992, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified ACE as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the Bridgeport Rental and Oil Services Superfund Site in Logan Township, New Jersey. In September 1996, ACE along with other PRPs signed a consent decree with EPA and NJDEP to address remediation of the site. ACE's liability is limited to 0.232 percent of the aggregate remediation liability and thus far ACE has made contributions of approximately $105,000. Based on information currently available, ACE may be required to contribute approximately an additional $100,000. ACE believes that its liability at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

86
_____________________________________________________________________________

Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the NJDEP

In an effort to address NJDEP's concerns regarding ACE's compliance with New Source Review (NSR) requirements at B.L. England, on April 26, 2004, PHI, Conectiv and ACE entered into a preliminary settlement agreement with NJDEP and the Attorney General of New Jersey. The preliminary settlement agreement outlines the basic parameters for a definitive agreement to resolve ACE's alleged NSR liability at B.L. England and various other environmental issues at ACE and Conectiv Energy facilities in New Jersey. Among other things, the preliminary settlement agreement provides that:

contingent upon the receipt of necessary approvals from the NJBPU, PJM, North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and other regulatory authorities and the receipt of permits to construct certain transmission facilities in southern New Jersey, ACE will permanently cease operation of the B.L. England generating facility by December 15, 2007. In the event that ACE is unable to shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007 through no fault of its own (e.g., because of failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals), B.L. England Unit 1 would be required to comply with stringent sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter emissions limits set forth in the preliminary settlement agreement by October 1, 2008, and B.L. England Unit 2 would be required to comply with these emissions limits by May 1, 2009. If ACE does not either shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007 or satisfy the em issions limits applicable in the event shut down is not so completed, ACE would be required to pay significant monetary penalties.

to address ACE's appeal of NJDEP actions relating to NJDEP's July 2001 denial of ACE's request to renew a permit variance from sulfur-in-fuel requirements under New Jersey regulations, effective through July 30, 2001, that authorized Unit 1 at B.L. England generating facility to burn bituminous coal containing greater than 1% sulfur, ACE will be permitted to combust coal with a sulfur content of greater than 1% at the B.L. England facility in accordance with the terms of B.L. England's current permit until December 15, 2007 and NJDEP will not impose new, more stringent short-term SO₂ emissions limits on the B.L. England facility during this period. However, in the absence of a consent order or other final settlement document, which the parties continue to negotiate as required by the preliminary settlement agreement, ACE will

87
____________________________________________________________________________

	need to seek, in July 2005, a renewal of its current fuel authorization, which is scheduled to expire on July 30, 2006.
·	to resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for violations of the permit provisions of the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act (APCA) and the Prevention of Significant Deterioration provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) relating to modifications that may have been undertaken at the B.L. England facility, ACE paid a $750,000 civil penalty to NJDEP on June 1, 2004. To compensate New Jersey for other alleged violations of the APCA and/or the CAA, ACE will undertake environmental projects valued at $2 million, which are beneficial to the state of New Jersey and approved by the NJDEP in a consent order or other final settlement document.
·	ACE will submit all federally required studies and complete construction of facilities, if any, necessary to satisfy the EPA's new cooling water intake structure regulations in accordance with the schedule that NJDEP established in the recent renewal of the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the B.L. England facility. The schedule takes into account ACE's agreement, provided that all regulatory approvals are obtained, to shut down the B.L. England facility by December 15, 2007.
·	to resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for natural resource damages resulting from groundwater contamination at the B.L. England facility, Conectiv Energy's Deepwater generating facility and ACE's operations center near Pleasantville, New Jersey, ACE and Conectiv will pay NJDEP $674,162 or property of equivalent value and will remediate the groundwater contamination at all three sites. If subsequent data indicate that groundwater contamination is more extensive than indicated in NJDEP's preliminary analysis, NJDEP may seek additional compensation for natural resource damages.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PEPCO HOLDINGS

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI) is a public utility holding company that, through its operating subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in two principal business operations:

·	electricity and natural gas delivery (Power Delivery), and
·	competitive energy generation, marketing and supply (Competitive Energy).

The Power Delivery business is the largest component of PHI's business. In the first quarter of 2005, the operating revenues of the Power Delivery business (including intercompany amounts) were equal to 61% of PHI's consolidated operating revenues and its operating income (including income from intercompany transactions) were equal to 77% of PHI's consolidated operating income. The Power Delivery business consists primarily of the transmission, distribution and default supply of electric power, which was responsible for 90% of Power Delivery's first quarter 2005 operating revenues, and the distribution of natural gas, which contributed 10% of Power Delivery's first quarter 2005 operating revenues. Power Delivery represents one operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

The Power Delivery business is conducted by three regulated utility subsidiaries: Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), Delmarva Power & Light Company (DPL) and Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE), each of which is a regulated public utility in the jurisdictions that comprise its service territory. Each company is responsible for the delivery of electricity and, in the case of DPL, natural gas in its service territory, for which it is paid tariff rates established by the local public service commission. Each company also provides Default Electricity Supply, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its service territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive supplier. Default Electricity Supply is also known as Default Service in Virginia, Standard Offer Service (SOS) in Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as in Delaware on and after May 1, 2006, Basic Generation Service (BGS) in New Jersey, an d Provider of Last Resort service (POLR) in Delaware before May 1, 2006. The rates each company is permitted to charge for the transmission of electricity is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This means that the profitability of the Power Delivery business depends on each company's ability through the rates it is permitted to charge to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on its capital investments.

Power Delivery's operating revenue and income are seasonal, and weather patterns may have a material impact on operating results. Historically, Power Delivery operations have generated less revenue and income when weather conditions are milder in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The Competitive Energy business provides competitive generation, marketing and supply of electricity and gas, and related energy management services primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. These operations are conducted through subsidiaries of Conectiv Energy Holding Company

92
_____________________________________________________________________________

(collectively, Conectiv Energy) and Pepco Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Pepco Energy Services), each of which is treated as a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes. In the first quarter of 2005, the operating revenues of the Competitive Energy business (including intercompany amounts), were equal to 48% of PHI's consolidated operating revenues and its operating income (including operating income from intercompany transactions) was 12% of PHI's consolidated operating income. Of this segment's operating revenues, an amount equal to 14% of PHI's consolidated operating revenues was attributable to electric energy, electric capacity, and natural gas sold to the Power Delivery segment.

Conectiv Energy provides wholesale power, capacity and ancillary services in the wholesale markets administered by PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) and also supplies electricity to other wholesale market participants. Conectiv Energy has a power supply agreement under which it provides DPL with Default Electricity Supply for distribution to customers in Delaware and Virginia. Conectiv Energy also supplies a portion of the Default Electricity Supply for DPL's Maryland load, a portion of ACE's load, as well as load shares of other mid-Atlantic utilities. Conectiv Energy obtains the electricity required to meet its power supply obligations from its own generation plants, under bilateral contract purchases from other wholesale market participants and from purchases in the PJM wholesale market. Conectiv Energy also sells natural gas and fuel oil to very large end-users and to wholesale market participants under bilateral agreements.

Pepco Energy Services sells retail electricity and natural gas and provides integrated energy management services, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. Pepco Energy Services also provides high voltage construction and maintenance services to utilities and other customers throughout the United States and low voltage electric and telecommunication construction and maintenance services primarily in the Washington, D.C. area.

The primary objectives of the Competitive Energy business are to manage Conectiv Energy's generation assets to match wholesale energy supply with load and to capture retail energy supply and service opportunities in the mid-Atlantic region through Pepco Energy Services. The financial results of the Competitive Energy business can be significantly affected by wholesale and retail energy prices, the cost of fuel to operate the Conectiv Energy plants, and the cost of purchased energy necessary to meet its power supply obligations.

In order to lower its financial exposure related to commodity price fluctuations and provide a more predictable earnings stream, the Competitive Energy business frequently enters into contracts to hedge the power output of its generation facilities, the costs of fuel used to operate those facilities and its energy supply obligations.

Like the Power Delivery business, the Competitive Energy business is seasonal, and therefore weather patterns can have a material impact on operating results.

Discussion of Segment Net Income Variances:

Power Delivery's higher earnings of $11.5 million are primarily due to the following: a (i) $5.1 million increase related to the ACE base rate case settlement (described above), (ii) $4.2 million increase from the successful implementation of the competitive bid procedure for SOS approved by the Maryland and District of Columbia Commissions effective June and July 2004 and February 2005, respectively, (iii) $3.4 million of lower operation and maintenance costs, attributable primarily to less system maintenance, lower information technology (IT) costs and reduced employee and administrative costs, and (iv) $2.7 million of lower interest expense; partially offset by (v) $3.9 million of lower earnings because of a gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of 2004 resulting from the sale of assets.

Conectiv Energy's lower earnings of $1.9 million is primarily due to the following: (i) $3.8 million decrease in merchant generation earnings, which resulted primarily from 9.2% lower megawatt hour output; partially offset by (ii) $1.9 million of higher POLR earnings as the result of less load obligations.

Pepco Energy Services' lower earnings of $.9 million is primarily due to the following: (i) $2.2 million of lower generation from Benning and Buzzard power plants, (ii) $1.5 million related to the 2004 tax benefit (described above) and (iii) $.7 million from its energy efficiency services activity; partially offset by (iv) $3.6 million due to higher earnings from its retail commodity business.

Other Non-Regulated lower earnings of $6.5 million is primarily due to the following: (i) an $8.8 million decrease related to the 2004 tax benefit (described above) and (ii) $3.6 million due to the gain on sale of aircraft leases in the first quarter of 2004; partially offset by (iii) $4.8 million related to the gain on the sale of PCI's Solar Electric Generation Stations (SEGS) investment and (iv) a $.5 million reduction in interest expense.

Corporate and Other higher earnings of $2.1 million is primarily due to the following: (i) $3.8 million reduction in net interest expense; partially offset by (ii) an increase of $2.1 million related to the 2004 tax benefit (described above).

DPL's natural gas service territory is located in New Castle County, Delaware. Several key industries contribute to the economic base as well as to growth.

·	Commercial activity in the region includes banking and other professional services, government, insurance, real estate, strip mall, stand alone construction, and tourism.
·	Industrial activity in the region includes automotive, chemical, and pharmaceutical.

Regulated Gas Revenue increased $11.2 million principally due to the following: (i) $12.8 million increase in the Gas Cost Rate due to higher natural gas commodity costs, which took effect November 1, 2004 (offset in Fuel and Purchased Energy and Other Services Cost of Sales), (ii) $.9 million increase due to higher gas base rates due to higher average rates. These increases were partially offset by (iii) $2.5 million decrease in sales due to lower customer usage. Heating degree days decreased 1.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

Competitive Energy Business

The following table divides the operating revenues of the Competitive Energy business among its major business activities.

	2005		2004		Change

Merchant Generation	$	133.2	$	110.8	$	22.4
POLR Load Service		129.0		196.8		(67.8	)
Power, Oil & Gas Marketing Services and Other		247.2		280.2		(33.0	)
Total Conectiv Energy Operating Revenue	$	509.4	$	587.8	$	(78.4	)

Pepco Energy Services	$	352.6	$	310.7	$	41.9

99
_____________________________________________________________________________

·	Merchant Generation experienced an increase of $22.4 million primarily due to increased power prices (approximately 16% higher).
·	POLR Load Service experienced a decrease of $67.8 million primarily due to a drop in load of 37% because of the implementation of competitive bidding on wholesale supply in Maryland and Virginia.
·	Power, Oil and Gas Marketing Services and Other decreased by $33.0 million primarily due to lower New Jersey BGS power sales. Many of the 12 month BGS contracts ended in the middle of 2004. Conectiv Energy won fewer bids on load for the 2004-2005 period in the 2004 BGS auction.

The increase in Pepco Energy Services' operating revenue of $41.9 million is primarily due to higher volumes of electricity sold to customers in the 2005 quarter at higher prices than the corresponding quarter in 2004.

Operating Expenses

Fuel and Purchased Energy and Other Services Cost of Sales

A detail of PHI's consolidated fuel and purchased energy and other services cost of sales is as follows:

	2005			2004			Change
Power Delivery	$	651.8		$	598.8		$	53.0
Conectiv Energy		462.5			537.2			(74.7	)
Pepco Energy Services		325.6			287.0			38.6
Other Non-Regulated		-			-			-
Corporate and Other		(181.4	)		(195.1	)		13.7
Total	$	1,258.5		$	1,227.9		$	30.6

Power Delivery's Fuel and Purchased Energy costs increased by $53.0 million primarily due to the following: (i) a $45.0 million increase related to higher average energy costs, which are reflected in the new Default Electricity Supply rates for Maryland beginning in June and July 2004, for New Jersey beginning in June 2004, and the District of Columbia beginning in February 2005 (offset in Default Supply Revenue), (ii) $11.4 million increase in gas commodity fuel costs (offset in Regulated Gas Revenue), and (iii) $4.4 million increase in costs due to the phase out of the generation procurement credit (GPC) as a result of the new procurement rates, partially offset by (iv) $7.8 million decrease in PJM network transmission costs.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The following table divides the fuel and purchased energy and other services costs of sales of the Competitive Energy business among its major business activities.

	2005		2004		Change

Merchant Generation	$	78.3	$	49.6	$	28.7
POLR Load Service		134.4		211.2		(76.8	)
Power, Oil & Gas Marketing Services and Other		249.8		276.4		(26.6	)
Total Conectiv Energy Fuel and Purchased Energy and Other Services Cost of Sales	$	462.5	$	537.2	$	(74.7	)

Pepco Energy Services	$	325.6	$	287.0	$	38.6

The decrease of $74.7 million in Conectiv Energy's fuel, purchased energy and other services cost of sales is attributable primarily to the following:

·	Merchant Generation costs increased by $28.7 million mainly due to higher fuel costs.
·	POLR Load Service costs decreased by $76.8 million partially due to a drop in load of 37% because of the implementation of competitive bidding on wholesale supply in Maryland and Virginia.
·	Power, Oil and Gas Marketing Services and Other costs decreased by $26.6 million due to lower New Jersey BGS power sales.

The increase in Pepco Energy Services' fuel and purchased energy and other services cost of sales of $38.6 million resulted from higher volumes of electricity purchased at higher prices in the 2005 quarter to serve customers.

Other Operation and Maintenance

PHI's other operation and maintenance decreased by $6.0 million to $192.0 million in the 2005 quarter from $198.0 million in the 2004 quarter primarily due to (i) $4.5 million decrease in Default Electricity Supply costs, (ii) $4.3 million decrease in system maintenance, (iii) $3.0 million lower IT costs, partially offset by (iv) $1.3 million increase in building lease costs, (v) $1.9 million higher Sarbanes-Oxley external compliance costs, and (vi) $1.3 million increase in bad debt expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

PHI's depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $7.1 million to $105.7 million in the 2005 quarter from $112.8 million in the 2004 quarter primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in New Jersey deferred transitional bond charges and a $2.7 million decrease related to non-regulated assets.

101
_____________________________________________________________________________

Other Taxes

Other taxes increased by $9.9 million to $81.9 million in the 2005 quarter from $72.0 million in the 2004 quarter. This increase was primarily due to pass-throughs of (i) $6.9 million higher county surcharge and $1.3 million in higher delivery taxes (offset in Regulated T&D Electric Revenue) and (ii) $2.6 million delivery tax prior adjustments related to the District of Columbia and New Jersey.

Deferred Electric Service Costs

Deferred Electric Service Costs (DESC), which relates only to ACE, increased by $4.0 million to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The $4.0 million increase represents (i) $4.5 million in regulatory disallowances (net of amounts previously reserved) associated with the April 2005 NJBPU settlement agreement, (ii) $1.1 million in deferral write-offs associated with the NJBPU settlement agreement and offset by, (iii) $1.6 million net under-recovery associated with New Jersey BGS, NUGs, MTC and other restructuring items. Customers in New Jersey who do not choose a competitive supplier receive BGS from suppliers selected through auctions approved by the NJBPU. ACE's rates for the recovery of the costs of supplying this electricity are reset annually. On ACE's balance sheet a regulatory asset includes an under-recovery of $82.5 million as of March 31, 2005. This amount is net of a $47.3 million r eserve on previously disallowed items under appeal.

Gain on Sale of Assets

During the first quarter of 2004 Pepco sold land for a $6.6 million pre-tax gain and PCI sold two aircraft for a pre-tax gain of $5.5 million.

Other Income (Expenses)

PHI's other expenses (which are net of other income) decreased $20.3 million to $66.9 million in the 2005 quarter, from $87.2 million in the 2004 quarter. The decrease was due to other income of $8.0 million realized by PCI from the sale of solar energy investments and from lower interest expense of approximately $9.8 million as a result of lower debt outstanding in the 2005 quarter.

Income Tax Expense

PHI's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 18% as compared to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The major reasons for this difference are state income taxes (net of federal benefit, including the benefit associated with the retroactive adjustment for the issuance of final consolidated tax return regulations by a local taxing authority, which is the primary reason for the lower effective rate as compared to 2005), the flow-through of deferred

102
_____________________________________________________________________________

investment tax credits and tax benefits related to certain leveraged leases partially offset by the flow-through of certain book tax depreciation differences.

Extraordinary Item

As a result of the settlement of ACE's electric distribution rate case, ACE reversed $15.2 million ($9.0 million, after-tax) in accruals related to certain deferred costs that are now deemed recoverable.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Capital Structure

The components of Pepco Holdings' capital structure, expressed as a percentage of total capitalization (including short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt but excluding (i) transition bonds issued by Atlantic City Electric Transition Funding LLC (ACE Funding) in the principal amount of $516.2 million and $523.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and (ii) Pepco Energy Services' project funding secured by customer accounts receivable of $69.5 million and $70.7 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) is shown below. The transition bonds issued by ACE Funding and the project funding of Pepco Energy Services, which are both effectively securitized, are excluded because the major credit rating agencies treat effectively securitized debt separately and not as general obligations of PHI, when computing credit quality measures. (Dollar amounts in the table are in millions.)

Working Capital

At March 31, 2005, PHI's current assets on a consolidated basis totaled $1.7 billion and its current liabilities totaled $2.3 billion. At December 31, 2004, PHI's current assets on a consolidated basis totaled $1.7 billion and its current liabilities totaled $2.0 billion.

PHI's working capital deficit results in large part from the fact that, in the normal course of business, PHI's utility subsidiaries acquire and pay for energy supplies for their customers before the supplies are metered and then billed to customers. Short-term financings are used to meet liquidity needs. Short-term financings are also used, at times, to temporarily fund redemptions of long-term debt, until long-term replacement issues are completed.

A detail of Pepco Holdings' short-term debt at March 31, 2005 is as follows:

1.	Pepco Holdings has 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 BGS contracts for ACE.
2.	Pepco Holdings has issued standby letters of credit of $.6 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 $.6 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 March 31, 2005, obligations under the guarantees were approximately $6.9 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.
5.	Other guarantees comprise:
	·	Pepco Holdings has performance obligations of $1.7 million relating to obligations to third party suppliers of equipment.
	·	Pepco Holdings has guaranteed payment of a bond issued by a subsidiary of $14.9 million. Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount of the exposure under the guarantee.
	·	Pepco Holdings has guaranteed a subsidiary building lease of $3.8 million. Pepco Holdings does not expect to fund the full amount of the exposure under the guarantee.

PCI has guaranteed facility rental obligations related to contracts entered into by Starpower Communications LLC. As of March 31, 2005, the guarantees cover the remaining $2.9 million in rental obligations.

Dividends

On April 27, 2005, Pepco Holdings' Board of Directors declared a dividend on common stock of 25 cents per share payable June 30, 2005, to shareholders of record on June 10, 2005.

Contractual Arrangements with Credit Rating Triggers or Margining Rights

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 rating for long-term unsecured debt of the applicable company is 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 March 31, 2005, a one-level downgrade in the credit rating of long-term unsecured debt 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 $152 million. An additional amount of approximately $225 million of aggregate cash collateral or letters of credit would have been required in the event of subsequent downgrades to below investment grade.

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. As of March 31, 2005, Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries that engaged in competitive energy activities were in receipt of (a net holder of) cash collateral in the amount of $18.0 million as recorded in connection with their competitive energy activities.

REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS

Relationship with Mirant Corporation

Transition Power Agreements

As part of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Pepco and Mirant entered into Transition Power Agreements for Maryland and the District of Columbia, respectively (collectively, the

112
_____________________________________________________________________________

TPAs). Under these agreements, Mirant was obligated to supply Pepco with all of the capacity and energy needed to fulfill its SOS obligations in Maryland through June 2004 and its SOS obligations in the District of Columbia through January 22, 2005.

Power Purchase Agreements

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, 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 price. 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 FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA (the PPA-Related Obligations).

Pepco Pre-Petition Claims

113
_____________________________________________________________________________

Mirant debtors in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim. In view of the uncertainty as to recoverability, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 million to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant. In January 2004, Pepco paid approximately $2.5 million to Panda in settlement of certain billing disputes under the Panda PPA that related to periods after the sale of Pepco's generation assets to Mirant. Pepco believes that under the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Mirant is obligated to reimburse Pepco for the settlement payment. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2004, Pepco increased the amount of the receivable due from Mirant by approximately $2.5 million and amended its Proofs of Claim to include this amount. Pepco currently estimates that the $14.5 million expensed in the third quarter of 2003 represents the portion of the entire $31.5 million receivable unlikely to be recovered in bankruptcy, and no additional reserve has been established fo r the $2.5 million increase in the receivable. The amount expensed represents Pepco's estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimately recovered could be higher or lower.

Mirant's Attempt to Reject the PPA-Related Obligations

114
_____________________________________________________________________________

disagreed with Mirant's assertion that it need only pay the market value and believed that the amount representing the market value calculated by Mirant was insufficient.

On March 28, 2005, Pepco, FERC, the District of Columbia OPC, the MPSC and the Maryland OPC filed oppositions to the Second Motion to Reject in the District Court.

_____________________________________________________________________________

capacity. Pepco estimates that the amount it could be required to repay to Mirant in the unlikely event that September 18, 2003, is determined to be the effective date of rejection, is approximately $185.6 million as of May 1, 2005.

which would be a shell entity as a result of the reorganization. Pepco believes this plan cannot be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court under the law and has submitted objections to the plan. The plan also did not have the support of any of the creditor's committees in the Mirant bankruptcy.

On March 25, 2005, Mirant filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and First Amended Disclosure Statement. Pepco is currently analyzing this amended plan.

Rate Proceedings

New Jersey

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 (also referred to as Phase I) and a related Phase II proceeding, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Rate Proceedings" of PHI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K). On April 19, 2005, a settlement was reached among ACE, the staff of the NJBPU, the New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate and active intervenor parties. The settlement, if approved by the NJBPU, will resolve issues in both the Phase I proceeding and the other issues referred by the NJBPU to the base rate proceeding and addressed in the Phase II proceeding. No party to either of these proceedings opposes the settlement.

118
_____________________________________________________________________________

ACE's consolidated statements of earnings. While the impact of the settlement will be essentially revenue and cash neutral to PHI and ACE, there will be a positive annual pre-tax earnings impact to PHI and ACE of approximately $20 million.

The settlement does not become effective unless approved by the NJBPU. It is likely that the NJBPU will consider the settlement in the second quarter of 2005. While ACE believes it is probable that the NJBPU will approve the settlement, ACE cannot predict with certainty the timing of any NJBPU approval. The settlement does not affect the existing appeal filed by ACE with the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey related to the July 2004 Final Decision and Order issued by the NJBPU in ACE's restructuring deferral proceeding before the NJBPU under the New Jersey Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act. For additional information about this appeal and the New Jersey regulatory proceeding leading up to this appeal, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Restructuring Deferral" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K.

Delaware

For a discussion of the history DPL's annual Gas Cost Rate (GCR) filing, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Rate Proceedings" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. An evidentiary hearing was held on May 5, 2005, at which both Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC) staff and the Division of Public Advocate testified that the rates sought by DPL should be approved as filed. A final order addressing both the November 1 and December 29 increases is expected in the second quarter of 2005.

Pursuant to the April 16, 2002 merger settlement agreement in Delaware, on May 4, 2005, DPL made a filing with the DPSC whereby DPL seeks approval of a proposed increase of approximately $6.177 million in electric transmission service revenues, or about 1.1% of total Delaware retail electric revenues. This proposed revenue increase is the Delaware retail portion of the increase in the "Delmarva zonal" transmission rates on file with FERC under the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). This level of revenue increase will decrease to the extent that competitive retail suppliers provide a supply and transmission service to retail customers. In that circumstance, PJM would charge the competitive retail supplier the PJM OATT rate for transmission service into the Delmarva zone and DPL's charges to the retail customer would exclude as a "shopping credit" an amount equal to the standard offer service supply charge and the transmission and ancillary charg es that would otherwise be charged by
DPL to the retail customer. DPL has proposed to begin collecting this rate change for service rendered on and after June 3, 2005, subject to refund.

District of Columbia

For a discussion of the history of Pepco's distribution rate review case filed with the DCPSC, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Rate Proceedings" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. On April 7, 2005, the DCPSC approved a settlement of this proceeding, which provides that Pepco's current distribution rates will remain unchanged through the end of the rate cap periods set forth above, except as otherwise provided in the merger settlement, or as may otherwise be required by the Commission or by law.

SOS and Default Service Proceedings

Virginia

For a discussion of the history of DPL's default service proceedings in Virginia, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- SOS and Default Service Proceedings" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. As discussed in the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K, the parties to this proceeding entered into and filed, on March 4, 2005, a settlement resolving the issues in this proceeding. The settlement proposed to make the interim rates DPL had put into effect final, without any administrative charge or margin, but with the amount of the final rates being contingent only on possible future adjustment depending on the result of a related proceeding at FERC. The VSCC approved the settlement on March 25, 2005.

Delaware

For a discussion of the history of DPL's default service proceedings Delaware, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- SOS and Default Service Proceedings" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. On March 22, 2005, the DPSC issued an order approving DPL as the SOS provider at market rates after May 1, 2006, when DPL's current fixed rate POLR obligation ends. The DPSC will determine in the future the duration of DPL's market rate SOS obligation and the margin, if any, that it will be permitted to earn in conjunction with providing the SOS. The DPSC also approved a structure whereby DPL will purchase the power supply required to satisfy its market rate SOS obligations from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure.

Proposed Shut Down of B.L. England Generating Facility; Construction of Transmission Facilities

For a discussion of the history of the proposed shut-down of the B.L. England generating facility, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Proposed Shut Down of B.L. England Generating Facility; Construction of Transmission Facilities " of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. As discussed in the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K, in November 2004, ACE made a filing with the NJBPU requesting the necessary approvals for construction of the transmission upgrades required to maintain reliability in the Atlantic zone after the retirement of B.L. England. The NJBPU issued an order on April 21, 2005, which unanimously approved the petition for the construction of the transmission upgrades, including the 230 kilovolt (kV) Cumberland to Dennis line, the138 kV Dennis to Corson line, and the 138 kV Cardiff to Lewis

120
_____________________________________________________________________________

line. The approval states that these lines are necessary even if B.L. England does not shut down. On May 6, 2005, ACE announced that it would again auction its electric generation assets, including B.L. England. ACE intends to construct the transmission upgrades referred to above whether or not B.L. England is sold.

Environmental Litigation

For a discussion of the history of DPL's Administrative Consent Order, entered into with the Maryland Department of the Environment, to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) with respect to former manufactured gas plant operations at the Cambridge, Maryland site, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Environmental Litigation" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K. Due to project delays, DPL now expects that the completion date for the RI/FS will be in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the NJDEP

For a discussion of the history and details of the April 26, 2004 preliminary settlement agreement entered into by PHI, Conectiv, ACE, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the Attorney General of New Jersey, please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Preliminary Settlement Agreement with the NJDEP" of the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K.. As discussed in the Pepco Holdings 2004 10-K, under the preliminary settlement agreement, in order to address ACE's appeal of NJDEP actions relating to NJDEP's July 2001 denial of ACE's request to renew a permit variance from sulfur-in-fuel requirements under New Jersey regulations, effective through July 30, 2001, that authorized Unit 1 at B.L. England generating facility to burn bituminous coal containing greater than 1% sulfur, ACE will be permitted to combust coal with a sulfur content of greater than 1% at the B.L. England facility in accordance with the terms of B.L. England's current permit until December 15, 2007 and NJDEP will not impose new, more stringent short-term SO₂ emissions limits on the B.L. England facility during this period. However, in the absence of a final settlement agreement with NJDEP, ACE will need to seek, in July 2005, a renewal of its current fuel authorization, which is scheduled to expire on July 30, 2006. The preliminary settlement agreement provides that the parties will work toward a consent order or other final settlement document that reflects the terms of the preliminary settlement agreement. ACE, Conectiv and PHI continue to negotiate with the NJDEP the terms of a consent order or other final settlement document.

Federal Tax Treatment of cross-border Leases

121
_____________________________________________________________________________

Department and IRS issued Notice 2005-13 informing taxpayers that the IRS intends to challenge on various grounds the purported tax benefits claimed by taxpayers entering into certain sale-leaseback transactions with tax-indifferent parties, including those entered into on or prior to March 12, 2004 (the Notice). PCI's cross-border energy leases are similar to those sale-leaseback transactions described in the Notice.

Under SFAS No. 13, as currently interpreted, a settlement with the IRS that results in a deferral of tax benefits that does not change the total estimated net income from a lease does not require an adjustment to the book value of the lease. However, if the IRS were to disallow, rather than require the deferral of, certain tax deductions related to PHI's leases, PHI would be required to adjust the book value of the leases and record a charge to earnings equal to the repricing impact of the disallowed deductions. Such a charge to earnings, if required, is likely to have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations for the period in which the charge is recorded.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

No material changes to Pepco Holdings' critical accounting policies occurred during the first quarter of 2005. Accordingly, for a discussion of these policies, please refer to Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Pepco Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

122
_____________________________________________________________________________

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SAB 107 and SFAS 123R

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) which provides implementation guidance on the interaction between FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) and certain SEC rules and regulations as well as guidance on the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.

FIN 47

RISK FACTORS

The IRS challenge to cross-border energy sale and lease-back transactions entered into by a PHI subsidiary could result in loss of prior and future tax benefits.

123
_____________________________________________________________________________

additional taxes, along with interest and possibly penalties on the additional taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations and cash flow.

In addition, a disallowance, rather than a deferral, of tax benefits to be realized by PHI from these leases will require PHI to adjust the book value of its leases and record a charge to earnings equal to the repricing impact of the disallowed deductions. Such a change would likely have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations for the period in which the charge is recorded. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory and Other Matters."

For information concerning additional risk factors, please refer to Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Pepco Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Default Supply Revenue increased by $45.4 million, despite a decline in sales driven by customer migration, primarily due to higher retail energy rates, the result of the successful implementation of the SOS competitive bid procedure in Maryland beginning in July 2004 and in the District of Columbia beginning in February 2005 (offset in Fuel and Purchased Energy).

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, Pepco's Maryland customers served by an alternate supplier represented 34% of Pepco's total Maryland load, and Pepco's District of Columbia customers served by an alternate supplier represented 49% of Pepco's total District of Columbia load. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, Pepco's Maryland customers served by an alternate supplier represented 24% of Pepco's total Maryland load, and Pepco's District of Columbia customers served by an alternate supplier represented 37% of Pepco's total District of Columbia load.

Default Electricity Supply Sales were approximately 4,065,000 MwH for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to approximately 4,715,000 MwH for the comparable period in 2004.

Operating Expenses

Fuel and Purchased Energy

Fuel and Purchased Energy increased by $42.7 million to $216.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $173.7 million for the comparable period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the following: (i) $40.6 million increase in energy costs, which are reflected in the new SOS rates for Maryland beginning in July 2004 and the District of Columbia beginning in February 2005 (offset in Default Supply Revenue), (ii) $4.4 million increase in costs due to the end of the generation procurement credit (GPC) as a result of the new SOS agreements, partially offset by (iii) $2.3 million lower PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) network transmission costs.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Other Operation and Maintenance

Other Operation and Maintenance decreased by $.6 million to $66.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $67.1 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease was primarily due to (i) $2.5 million lower Default Supply costs, (ii) $2.1 million lower severance costs, (iii) $1.8 million lower information technology costs, and (iv) $.8 million lower employee benefit expense, partially offset by (v) $2.0 million higher incentive costs, (vi) $2.2 million higher building lease costs, (vii) $1.5 million sick pay reserve, and (viii) $1.3 million increased bad debt expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased by $4.1 million to $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $43.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease related to non-regulated assets and $1.8 million decrease due to software retirements.

Other Taxes

Other Taxes increased by $9.2 million to $65.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $56.5 million for the comparable period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to pass-throughs of (i) $6.9 million higher county surcharge and $1.3 million higher delivery taxes (offset in Regulated T&D Electric Revenue) and (ii) $1.0 million delivery tax prior period adjustment.

Gain on Sale of Assets

The gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of 2004 of $6.6 million represents the sale of land.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other Expenses decreased by $2.8 million to a net expense of $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from a net expense of $19.3 million for the comparable period in 2004. This was primarily due to (i) $1.2 million lower interest expense and (ii) $1.1 million higher other income.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Working Capital

At March 31, 2005, Pepco's current assets totaled $432.6 million and its current liabilities totaled $504.4 million. At December 31, 2004, Pepco's current assets totaled $364.0 million and its current liabilities totaled $434.6 million.

Pepco's working capital deficit results in large part from the fact that, in the normal course of business, it acquires and pays for energy supplies for its customers before the supplies are metered and then billed to customers. Short-term financings are used to meet liquidity needs. Short-term financings are also used, at times, to temporarily fund redemptions of long-term debt, until long-term replacement issues are completed.

REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS

Relationship with Mirant Corporation

133
_____________________________________________________________________________

(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).

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 FirstEnergy PPA and the Panda PPA (the PPA-Related Obligations).

Pepco Pre-Petition Claims

When Mirant filed its bankruptcy petition on July 14, 2003, Mirant had unpaid obligations to Pepco of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of payments due to Pepco in respect of the PPA-Related Obligations (the Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations). The Mirant Pre-Petition Obligations constitute part of the indebtedness for which Mirant is seeking relief in its bankruptcy proceeding. Pepco has filed Proofs of Claim in the Mirant bankruptcy proceeding in the amount of approximately $26 million to recover this indebtedness; however, the amount of Pepco's recovery, if any, is uncertain. The $3 million difference between Mirant's unpaid obligation to Pepco and the $26 million Proofs of Claim primarily represents a TPA settlement adjustment which is included in the $105 million Proofs of Claim filed by Pepco against the Mirant debtors in respect of the Pepco TPA Claim. In view of the uncertainty as to recoverability, Pepco, in the third quarter of 2003, expensed $14.5 mi llion to establish a reserve against the $29 million receivable from Mirant. In January 2004, Pepco paid approximately $2.5 million to Panda in settlement of certain billing disputes under the Panda PPA that related to periods after the sale of Pepco's generation assets to Mirant. Pepco believes that under the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Mirant is obligated to reimburse Pepco for the settlement payment. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2004, Pepco increased the amount of the receivable due from Mirant by approximately $2.5 million and amended its Proofs of Claim to include this amount. Pepco currently estimates that the $14.5 million expensed in the third quarter of 2003 represents the portion of the entire $31.5 million receivable unlikely to be recovered in bankruptcy, and no additional reserve has been established for the $2.5 million increase in the receivable. The amount expensed represents Pepco's estimate of the possible outcome in bankruptcy, although the amount ultimatel y recovered could be higher or lower.

At this time, Mirant continues to make post-petition payments due to SMECO.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FIN 47

In March 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, applies to conditional asset retirement obligations as defined and requires that the fair value of a reasonably estimable conditional asset retirement obligation be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the asset. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for Pepco). Pepco is in the process of evaluating the anticipated impact that the implementation of FIN 47 will have on its overall financial position or net results of operations.

DPL's natural gas service territory is located in New Castle County, Delaware. Several key industries contribute to the economic base as well as to growth.

·	Commercial activity in the region includes banking and other professional services, government, insurance, real estate, strip mall, stand alone construction, and tourism.
·	Industrial activity in the region includes automotive, chemical, and pharmaceutical.

Regulated Gas Revenue increased by $11.2 million primarily due to the following: (i) $12.8 million increase, effective November 1, 2004, in the Gas Cost Rate due to higher natural gas commodity costs (offset in Gas Purchased) and (ii) $0.9 million increase in Gas Base Rates due to higher average rates. These increases were partially offset by (iii) $2.4 million decrease in sales due to lower customer usage. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, gas sales were

146
_____________________________________________________________________________

approximately 9,300,000 Mcf as compared to approximately 9,700,000 Mcf for the comparable period in 2004. Heating degree days decreased 1.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

Other Gas Revenue

Other Gas Revenue increased by $.6 million largely due to increased capacity release revenues and slightly higher off-system sales compared to the same period last year (offset in Gas Purchased).

Operating Expenses

Fuel and Purchased Energy

Fuel and Purchased Energy increased by $4.4 million to $162.2 million in 2005 from $157.8 million in 2004 due primarily to higher average energy costs, which are reflected in the new SOS rates for Maryland beginning in June and July 2004 (offset in Default Supply Revenue).

Gas Purchased

Gas Purchased increased by $11.4 million to $85.1 million in 2005 from $73.7 million in 2004. This increase primarily resulted from (i) $4.6 million due to increased wholesale commodity prices and less gas injected into storage, (ii) $3.8 million increase in deferred fuel costs, and (iii) $3.0 million increase from the settlement of financial hedges (entered into as part of DPL's regulated Natural Gas Hedge program). (Offsets in Regulated Gas Revenue and Other Gas Revenue).

Other Operation and Maintenance

Other Operation and Maintenance decreased by $3.7 million to $42.4 million in 2005 from $46.1 million in 2004. The decrease primarily resulted from: (i) $2.2 million lower system maintenance costs and (ii) $1.6 million lower employee pension and benefit expense, and (iii) $.6 million decrease in IT costs, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in building lease costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased by $.9 million to $19.0 million in 2005 from $18.1 million in 2004 due primarily to utility property additions.

Other Taxes

Other Taxes increased by $.4 million to $9.4 million in 2005 from $9.0 million in 2004. The increase primarily resulted from delivery tax related to an increase in gas revenue.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE) is engaged in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity in southern New Jersey. ACE's service territory covers approximately 2,700 square miles and has a population of approximately 998,000.

ACE is a wholly owned subsidiary of PHI. Because PHI is a public utility holding company registered under PUHCA, the relationship between PHI and ACE and certain activities of ACE are subject to the regulatory oversight of the SEC under PUHCA.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Revenue

	2005		2004		Change
Regulated T&D Electric Revenue	$	81.8	$	84.2	$	(2.4	)
Default Supply Revenue		223.6		232.0		(8.4	)
Other Electric Revenue		3.9		6.2		(2.3	)
Total Operating Revenue	$	309.3	$	322.4	$	(13.1	)

The table above shows the amounts of Operating Revenue earned that are subject to price regulation (Regulated T&D (Transmission & Distribution) Electric Revenue and Default Supply Revenue) and that which is not subject to price regulation (Other Electric Revenue). Regulated T&D Electric Revenue includes revenue ACE receives for delivery of electricity to its customers. ACE provides Default Electricity Supply, which is the supply of electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its service territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive supplier. Default Electricity Supply is also known as Basic Generation Service (BGS) in New Jersey. Default Supply Revenue is revenue received by ACE from Default Electricity Supply. The costs related to the supply of electricity are included in Fuel and Purchased Energy. Also included in Default Supply Revenue is revenue from non-utility generators (NUGs), transition bond charges (TBC), mar ket transition charges (MTC) and other restructuring related revenues (see Deferred Electric Service Cost). Other Electric 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 decreased by $2.4 million primarily due to the following: (i) $.8 million unfavorable weather impact, (ii) $.8 million related to network transmission revenue, and (iii) $.3 million due to customer sales mix. Delivered sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were approximately 2,360,000 MwH compared to approximately 2,370,000 MwH for the comparable period in 2004. Heating degree days decreased by 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Default Supply 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 $8.4 million decrease in Default Supply Revenue primarily resulted from $6.7 million of lower sales and transmission due to increased customer migration.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, ACE's New Jersey customers served by an alternate supplier represented 22% of ACE's total load. For the three months ended March, 2004, ACE's New Jersey customers served by an alternate supplier represented 19% of ACE's total load.

Default Electricity Supply Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were approximately 1,837,300 MwH compared to approximately 1,916,400 MwH for the comparable period in 2004.

Other Electric Revenue

Other Electric Revenue decreased by $2.3 million primarily due to, (i) $1.8 million decrease in inter-company revenues, and (ii) $.6 million decrease in customer requested work.

Operating Expenses

Fuel and Purchased Energy

Fuel and Purchased Energy decreased by $5.5 million to $188.1 million in 2005 from $193.6 million in 2004. This decrease was primarily due to reduced PJM network transmission costs.

Other Operation and Maintenance

Other Operation and Maintenance decreased by $4.5 million to $47.3 million in 2005 from $51.8 million in 2004. The decrease primarily resulted from: (i) $2.1 million of lower restoration and system maintenance costs, (ii) $2.0 million for Default Electricity Supply costs, (iii) $1.7 million due to the transfer of the Deepwater plant to Conectiv Energy in 2004, and (iv) $.6 million lower IT costs, partially offset by (v) $1.0 million increase in building lease costs and (vi) $.9 million related to the NJBPU settlement.

152
_____________________________________________________________________________

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased by $4.0 million to $29.9 million in 2005 from $33.9 million in 2004 primarily due to a decrease in deferred transitional bond charges.

Other Taxes

Other Taxes increased by $1.3 million to $5.3 million in 2005 from $4.0 million in 2004. The increase primarily resulted from $1.6 million resulting from a New Jersey delivery tax expense true-up in 2004.

Deferred Electric Service Costs

Deferred Electric Service Costs (DESC) increased by $4.0 million to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The $4.0 million increase represents (i) $4.5 million in regulatory disallowances (net of amounts previously reserved) associated with the April 2005 NJBPU settlement agreement, (ii) $1.1 million in deferral write-offs associated with the NJBPU settlement agreement and offset by, (iii) $1.6 million net under-recovery associated with New Jersey BGS, NUGs, MTC 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 the costs of supplying this electricity are reset annually. On ACE's balance sheet a regulatory asset includes an under-recovery of $82.5 million as of March 31, 2005. This amount is net of a $47.3 million r eserve on previously disallowed items under appeal.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other Expenses decreased by $.8 million to a net expense of $11.7 million in 2005 from a net expense of $12.5 million in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest expense.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pepco Holdings

For information about PHI's derivative activities, refer to "Accounting for Derivatives" in Note 2 and "Use of Derivatives in Energy and Interest Rate Hedging Activities" in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of PHI included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

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 indicat ive of actual results that may occur.

Value at Risk Associated with Energy Contracts For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 (Dollars in Millions)
	Proprietary Trading VaR (1)	VaR for Competitive Energy Activity (2)
95% confidence level, one-day holding period, one-tailed (3)
Period end	$ -	$ 6.1
Average for the period	$ -	$ 4.3
High	$ -	$ 6.1
Low	$ -	$ 2.9

Notes:
(1)	Includes all remaining proprietary trading contracts entered into prior to cessation of this activity prior to March 2003.
(2)	This column represents all energy derivative contracts, normal purchase & sales contracts, modeled generation output and fuel requirements and modeled customer load obligations for both the discontinued proprietary trading activity and the ongoing other energy commodity activities.
(3)	As VaR calculations are shown in a standard delta or delta/gamma closed form 95% 1-day holding period 1-tail normal distribution form, traditional statistical and financial methods can be employed to reconcile prior 10-K and 10-Q VaRs to the above approach. In this case, 5-day VaRs divided by the square root of 5 equal 1-day VaRs; and 99% 1-tail VaRs divided by 2.326 times 1.645 equal 95% 1-tail VaRs. Note that these methods of conversion are not valid for converting from 5-day or less holding periods to over 1-month holding periods and should not be applied to "non-standard closed form" VaR calculations in any case.

155
_____________________________________________________________________________

For additional quantitative and qualitative information on the fair value of energy contracts refer to Note 5, Use of Derivatives in Energy and Interest Rate Hedging Activities in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 competitive energy segments dynamically (economically) hedge both the estimated plant output and fuel requirements as the estimated levels of output and fuel needs change. Dynamic (or economic) hedge percentages include the estimated electricity output of and fuel requirements for the competitive energy segment's generation plants that have been economically hedged and any associated financial or physical commodity contracts (including derivative contracts that are classified as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133, other derivative instruments, wholesale normal purchase and sales contracts, and load service obligations).

As of March 31, 2005, based on economic availability projections, 90% of generation output is economically hedged over the next 36 months. Fuel inputs for the same 36 month period are 54% hedged.

Hedge volumes can vary significantly from period to period, where sales may exceed forecast plant output in some periods (a net short position), while in other periods sales may fall short of forecast output (a net long position).

This table provides information on the competitive energy segment's credit exposure, net of collateral, to wholesale counterparties.

Schedule of Credit Risk Exposure on Competitive Wholesale Energy Contracts (Dollars in Millions)
	March 31, 2005
Rating (1)	Exposure Before Credit Collateral (2)	Credit Collateral (3)	Net Exposure	Number of Counterparties Greater Than 10% *	Net Exposure of Counterparties Greater Than 10%

Investment Grade	$347.1	$20.5	$326.6	3	$186.7

Split rating	-	-	-	-	-
No External Ratings	19.1	-	19.1	-	-
Credit reserves	-	-	1.0	-	-

(1)	Investment Grade - primarily determined using publicly available credit ratings of the counterparty. If the counterparty has provided a guarantee by a higher-rated entity (e.g., its parent), it is determined based upon the rating of its guarantor. Included in "Investment Grade" are counterparties with a minimum Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating of BBB- or Baa3, respectively. If it has a split rating (i.e., rating not uniform between major rating agencies), it is presented separately.
(2)	Exposure before credit collateral - includes the MTM energy contract net assets for open/unrealized transactions, the net receivable/payable for realized transactions and net open positions for contracts not subject to MTM. Amounts due from counterparties are offset by liabilities payable to those counterparties to the extent that legally enforceable netting arrangements are in place. Thus, this column presents the net credit exposure to counterparties after reflecting all allowable netting, but before considering collateral held.
(3)	Credit collateral - the face amount of cash deposits, letters of credit and performance bonds received from counterparties, not adjusted for probability of default, and if applicable property interests (including oil and gas reserves).
*	Using a percentage of the total exposure.
