Delmarva Power & Light Company a FinancialReview and Analysis Results of Operations Eamings Eamings per share of common stock were S2.13 in 1982 compared with $1.78 in 1981 and S1.60 in 1989 This improvement in financial performance is also reflected in an improved retum on average common equity to 13.3% in 1982 from 11.2% in 1981 and 10.0% in 1980. However, it is still below the rate of return authorized by the company's regulatory authorities. In addition, the quality of the company's earnings continues to improve because of higher intemally generated funds and a modest construction program. AFUDC, a non-cash eamings item which is affected by the level of construction expenditures, has decreased to 8% of net income in 1982 when compared to 12% in 1981 i and 38% in 1980. l The increase in 1982 eamings, despite a dechne in sales, can De attributed primanly to (1) timely and significant rate rehef, (2) continuing tight cost controls and (3) lower financing costs and debt levels. With substantially reduced capital requirements in the future, the company believes it will be able to maintain this improved financial position. Dividends vi er s D clared In December, the quarterly dividend on common stock was increased to 41: per share wra from 39% : per share. This increase reflects a dividend policy which is designed to gradually increase dividends on an annual basis, eamings permitting and thus provide 250 stockholders with a fair and competitive retum on their investment. The current indicated annual dividend rate is S1.64 per share. Electric Sales and Revenue 200 f Electric revenues, net of fuel costs, increased by S51.3 million in 1982 and by S71.7 million i in 1981. The principal factor affecting these net revenue increasec was rate relief in all junsdictions. See the accompanying text, " Rate Matters" and the chart " Status of Rate Cases" for additional information conceming rate case filings. kWh sales decreased '5 slig!1tly in 1982 and 1981 by 2.0% and 0.9%, respectively, due to a recessionary economy, customer conservation and price elasticity. In 1982, lower industrial sales of 8.1% have been the direct result of reduced industrial activity throughout the company's service area, whereas resident al and commercial sales have increased 1.5% and 4.2%, respectively, due primarily to customer growth. Future electric sales will continue to be affected by ,gg the overall economic situation and level of business activity in the company's tervice temtory, as well as by weather conditions, use of altemative fuels for heating and cus-tomer conservation efforts. Electric sales have been forecasted to increase apnroximately 2.0% annually through 1987. so Gas Sales l Gas cales decreased 5.5% in 1982 compared to a 5.3% increase in 1981. The decline in l o 1982 sales was due to a substantial decrease in usage by industnal customers and warmer ( 78 79 80 81 'a winter weather which reduced gas sales for heating. The increase in 1981 sales reflected i greater usage by induutrial customers due to the Improved availability of gas. Future gas O Dmdends sales Wlli be affected by the availability of gas, the deregulation of gas prices and the price n Emmngs of altemative fuels for which gas is a substitute. I 15 i

Delmarva Power & Light Company FinancialReview and Analysis i Rate Matters The company is subject to regulation with respect to its retail sales of electricity by the Delaware and Maryland Pubhc Service Commissions, and the Virgmia State Corporation Commission, which have broad powers over rate matters, accounting and terms of service. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) exercises jurisdiction with respect to the company's accounting systems and policies and the transmission and sale at wholesale (resale) of electric energy in interstate commerce. The company has been filing rate increase applications on an annual basis in an effort to have rates set that more closely reflect current costs. Rate cases were filed in all jurisdictions in 1982 and were structured to recover the capital and operating costs for the conversion to coal of Edge Moor units 3 and 4, to recover increases in operating and maintenance costs, and to improve the retum on utihty investment.

Delmarva Power & bght Company FinancialRevicw and Analysis Impact ofInflation Inflation continues to have an adverse impact on the company because rates are gen-etally set on a historical basis. The company is addressing inflation in the ratemaking i process by utilizing a forecast " test year" and attrition allowances in its rate fihngs, where permitted, so that rates will reflect costs anticipated for the period that they are in effect. For a further discussion of the effects of inflation on the company, see Note 12 of the Financial Statements. Liquidity and Fmancmg and Capitalization CapitalResources The company is committed to improving its financial strength and financing flexibility and believes that it is important to have a strong capital structure and manageable levels of l debt. At December 31,1982, the company's capitahzation goals v:ere 48-50% long-term debt 10-12% preferred stock and 38-40% common equity. These goals have been attained by increasing common equity and by reducmg the relative proportions of debt and pre-ferred stock. See " Selected Financial Data" for the actual capitalization ratios. Credit ratings on the company's first mortgage bonds were upgraded by Duff ar.d Phelps. Moody'sInvestors Service and Standard & Poor's. The rating was raised from A to AA minus by Standard & Poor's, as well as the equivalent upgrading by both Moody's and Duff and Phelps. The upgradings are primanly due to the company's improved retum on equity, substantially increased intemal generation of funds, increased equity capitalization and reduced future extemal financing requirements. The Ratio of Eamings to Fixed Interest Charges, which is influenced by the extent and Ratio of Earnings to FixedInterest stability of pre-tax earnings as related to fixed mterest charges, showed significant Charges improvement in the last two years and is expected to contmue to rise, although more moderately. This ratio, as computed on the SEC method, for 1982 was 3.5 as compared to

sEc meent 2.7 in 1981 and 2.2 in 1980. Improved interest coverage ratios are another indicator of the 4

company's improved credit position. The financing program for 1982 consisted of S15.7 million raised by issuance of shares 01 common stock in accordance with the company's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan and through the TRASOP. Also, in November, the Delaware Eco-3g nomic Development Authority sold S11 million of short-term tax-exempt revenue notes pursuant to an existing agreement with the company at an average annual rate of 4%% These tax-exempt notes, togethat wit a previous issue of S12 million in short-term tax-exempt notes and a $10 milhon tax-exempt note due August,1984, will ultimately be refinanced on a more permanent basis. 2o With a reduced construction program (see " Capital and Construction Requirements" below) and assuming reasonable rate treatment, the company does not expect any furthei extemallong-term fmancings before 1987 except for the aforementioned refinancing and through issuance of common stock under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and PAYSOP. to 0 78 79 80 81 82 f 17 l

Delmarva Power & Light Company FinancialRsview and Analysis Capital and Construction Requirements For the period 1980-1982, the compmiy had total capital requirements of S370.9 million, includmg S305.6 million for construction (excluding AFUDC). During the same period S187.3 million was generated intemally which represents 50% of the capital requirements and 61% of the construction requirements. Capital requirements for the period 1983-1985 are estimated to be S266.5 million, including $222.3 million for construction (excluding AFUDC). Assuming timely and adequate rate relief and continued improvements in the level and quality of earnings, the company presently anticipates that, for the period 1983-1985, intemally generated funds will be S332.4 million which equals 125% of the total ) capital requirements and 150% of its construction requirements. The company has delayed the construction schedule for the 500-megawatt, coal-fired Vienna 9 generating unit by five years to 1995. The decision is based on the company's current load forecast, which indicates a lower rate of growth in the coming decade. The deferral also reflects a program of load management to be instituted in the late 1980's when it may be cost-effective for Delmarva and the technology may be more fully developed. As a result of these actions, the company's constniction budget will be [pgndi reduced through atleast 1986. nst i es andInternally Generated Funds The construction program and related expenditures may vary from the estimates set forth Mer.s of dolus) above as a result of, among other factors, higher than anticipated inflation, regulation and legislation, rates ofload growth, hcensing and construction delays, results of rate proceed-12s ings, as well as the cost and availability of capital. Working Capital R a3 '00 Working capital increased by S13.2 million in 1982, decreased by $48.6 million in 1981 and increased by S5.3 million in 1980. See page 23, Statement of Sources of Funds for Construction Expenditures for the components of and the changes in working capital. The company issues commercial paper supported by adequate bank lines of credit to meet I seasonal fluctuations in workmg capital requirements as well as the interim financing 3 necessary for cone: action projects. Additional cash requirements will result from the I I payment of the Summit state tax liability (see Notes 2 and 7 of Financial Statements) and the future repayment of the over-recovered defened fuel costs. l 50 25 t 0 + 81 82 83 84 85 g Construction Expenditures (excluding AWDC) B Internally oenerated Funds 18 j i

The retained earnings available for dividends on common stock as of December 31,1982 were approximately S75,300,000 under the most restrictive of these provisions. 1982 1981 Dividend Price Price Dividend Price Price Deciated High Iow Declared High Low First Quarter S.395 14 % 11 % S.38 12 % 11 % Second Quarter .395 15 13 % .38 12 % 10 % Third Quarter .395 15 % 13 % .38 12 % 11 Fourth Quarter .41 16 % 13 % .395 12 % 11 % Withholding Tax on Dividends The 'Ihx Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 requires the company to withhold taxes at the rate of 10% from each dividend payment on or after July 1,1983. However, certain exemptions are allowed, provided that the shareholder requests and quahfies for such exemption. Exemptions will be allowed for individuals who paid no more than S600 (S1,000 on a joint retum) of Federalincome tax for the prior year. Individuals 65 or older who paid no more than S1,500 (S2,500 on a jomt retum) of Federal m"ome tax for the prior year also would be exempt. Certain other recipients of dividends, including corporations, governments, certain securities dealers, money market funds, tax-exempt organizations and certain nominees or custodians will also qualify for exemption. Dividends reinvested in a qualified dividend reinvestment plan, such as Delmarva Power's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan, are automatically exempt from withholding. It will not be necessary for you to call the company to request an exemption form. Exemp-tion certificates and instructions will be sent to all stockholders on or about April 25,1983. 20 1

1. Significant FinancialStatements Accounting Policies The consohdated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its totally-held subsidiaries. Delmarva Energy Company and Delmarva Industries Inc. (formed in 1981). Accounting policies are in accordance with those prescribed by the regulatory commissions havmg jurisdiction with respect to accounting matters.

Revenues Revenues are recorded at the time billings are iendered to customers on a monthly cycle basis and include rate increases permitted to be billed subject to refund pending final approval. At the end of each month, there is an amount of unbilled electric and gas service which has been rendered from the last meter reading to the month-end. FuelCosts Fuel costs (electric and gas) are deferred and charged to operations on the basis of fuel costs included in customer bilhngs under the company's tanffs, which are subject to periodic regulatory review and approval. The company's share of nuclear fuel costs relating to jointly-owned nuclear generating stations (including estimated costs of storing spent fuel) is charged to fuel expense on a unit of production basis. Depreciation and Maintenance The annual provision for depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis using composite rates by classes of depreciable property. Provision for decommissioning costs relating to jointly-owned nuclear generating units is made to the extent of the net cost of removal allowed for rate purposes (approximately 20% cf the plant cost). The relationship of the annual provision for depreciation for financial accounting purposes to average depreciable property was 3.6% for 1982,3.5% for 1981 and 3.2% for 1980. The cost of maintenance and repairs. including renewals of minor items of property, is charged to operating expenses. A replacement of a unit of property is accounted for as an addition to and a retirement from utility plant. The original cost of the property retired is charged to accumulated depreciation together with the net cost of removal. For income tax purposes, the cost of removing retired property is deducted as an expense. j us

1. Significant Accounting Income Taxes Policies (contmued)

Deferred income taxes result from timing differences in the recognition of certain expenses for tax and financial accounting purposes. The principal items accounting for deferred income taxes are: (1) use of the Accelerated Cost Recovery System and other accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes, (2) unbilled fuel and gas purchased costs deducted currently for income tax purposes, and (3) other timing differences involving spent nuclear fuel storage costs and the capitalization of certain taxes and overhead costs. Investment tax credits utilized to reduce federal income taxes are deferred and generally amortized over the useful hves of the related utility plant. An additionalinvestment tax credit of 1% % (1% in 1980) related to the Tax Credit Employees Stock Ownership Plan (a "TRASOP" plan) does not affect net income and is recorded as a liabihty until the contnbution is made to the TRASOP Plan. Allowance for Funds Used During Construction Allowance for funds used dunng construction ( AFUDC) is a non-cash item and is defmed in the regulatory system of accounts as "the net cost for the period of construction of borrowed funds used for construction purposes and a reasonable rate on other funds so used." AFUDC is segregated into two components: (1) the interest on debt component (" allowance for borrowed funds used during construction"), which is net of taxes and classified as a credit to interest charges, and (2) the common stock equity and preferred dividend component (" allowance for other funds used during construction"), which is classified as an item of other income. AFUDC is considered a cost of utility plant with a concurrent credit to income. It is excluded from taxable income for tax purposes. The rate used in determining AFUDC, which includes semi-annual compounding, was 9.1% in 1982,8.7% in 1981 and 8.0% in 1980.

2. Taxes onIncorne Income tax expense for 1982,1981 and 1980 is as follows:

The company has been assessed additional taxes and interest resulting predominantly from the taxability, on an ordinary mcome basis, of the net proceeds from the sale of contracts for a nuclear steam supply system (See Note 7). The assessment would result in net additional federal and state income taxes of approximately $20.3 mil-tion and interest of S18.9 million. These amounts are net of anticipated refunds that result from the reversalof the previous tax treatment applied to the sale of the contracts. The company is appealing the taxabihty of the net proceeds. In the opinion of management and tax counsel, it appears probable that this issue will ultimately be resolved as taxable in an amount which approximates taxes on a capital gains basis. Accordingly, in 1981, the company accrued a net tax liability on a capital gains basis. During 1982, the company made federal tax and interest payments totalhng $28.5 million, on a capital gains basis, to prevent the compounding of interest on the tax deficiency. The ultimate disposition of this issue will not have a material etf9ct on the company's financial position or results of operations. 30

5. Capitalization Preferred Stock (contmued)

(continued) With Mandatory Redemption (1) The 9% series, issued in 1978, has a sinking fund requirement, commencing in December,1984, to redeem 8,000 shares annually at $100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At the option of the company, an additional 8,000 shares may be redeemed on any sinking fund date, without premium. (2) The 12.56% series, issued in 1980, has a sinking fund requirement, commencing in December,1986, to redeem 9,000 shares annually at S100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At the option of the company, an additional 9,000 shares may be redeemed on any sinking fund date, without premium. (3) Under certain conditions, these series may also be redeemed at the option of the company. (4) Aggregate mandatory sinking fund redemptions during the next five years are S800,000 in 1984 and 1985 and S1,700,000 in 1986 and 1987. CapitalStock Expenses I f l Capital stock expenses relating to the issuance of common and preferred stock have been i mflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. I Long-Term Debt i L [ (1) Sinking fund provisions with respect to substantially all issues of the First Mortgage j and Collateral Trust Bonds require that there be deposited annually with the Trustee cash equal to one percent (1%) of the greatest aggregate principal amount at any one f time outstanding. There shall be credited against such cash regwrements (a) an amount l not exceedmg sixty percent (60%) of the bondable value of property additions which i the company then elects to make the basis of this credit, and (b) the aggregate principal amount of bonds which might then be made the basis of the authentication and delivery t of bonds and which the company then elects to make the basis of this credit. For the years l 1980-1982, the company elected to certify property additions to satisfy its sinking fund l requirements equal to 1% of each series as permitted by the indenture. (2) Substantially l all utihty plant of the company now or hereafter owned is subject to the lien of the related Mortgage and Deed of Trust. (3) Pursuant to a bank loan agreement the company has a $3,000,000 revolvmg credit commitment through December 31,1984, convertible into a t rm loan due December 31,1987. Any loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty and would bear interest at the prime rate through December 31,1983 and 105% of prime j rate thereafter, and a commitment fee of %% on any unused portion of the revolving credit. I From time to time, the company issues commercial paper to repay borrowings under the revolving credit commitment. In 1981 and 1982, the company sold $12 million and $11 million, respectively, of short-term tax-exempt revenue notes. In recognition of the long-term financing commitment, these borrowings have been classified as long-term debt. l (4) Maturities of long-term debt during the next five years are 1983-S30,100,000; 1984-( l S20,100,000; 1985-S10,100,000; 1986 and 1987-S150,000. (5) The annual interest require-t ments on all borrowmgs classified as long-term debt at December 31,1982 are S45,586,000. t [ Unamortized Debt Discount, Premium and Expense These amounts are amortized on a straight-hne basis over the lives of the long-term debt issues to which they pertain. 32 l

6. Commitments The company estimates that approximately S90,440,000, excluding AFUDC, will be expended for construction purposes m 1983, in connection with which substantial commitments have been incurred. The company also has commitments under long-term fuel supply contracts.

Minimum commitments as of December 31,1982 under all non-cancellable lease agreements are as follows: 1983 S 8,206,000 1984 7,196,000 1985 6,854,000 1986 6,527,000 1987 579,000 Remainder 5,095,000 Total S 34,457,000 The total minimum rental commitments are applicable to the following types of property: company's share of Peach Bottom nuclear fuel, S22,310,000; railroad coal cars, S2,150,000; distribution facilities S5,498.000; other, principally computer equipment, S4,499,000. Rentals charged to operating expenses aggregated S13,949,000 in 1982. S9,986,000 in 1981 and S9,463,000 in 1980 including S7,112,000, S5,282,000 and S5.357,000 for nuclear fuel, respectively. The company has certain leases for property and equipment which meet the enteria for capitalization, but in accordance with rate-making treatment are accounted for as operating leases. The capitalization of such leases would not have a significant effect on assets, liabilities or expenses. In 1973, the company entered into an agreement providing for the availability of fuel storage and pipeline facilities through 1999. Under the agreement, the company must make specified minimum payments monthly, which totaled S2,454,000 in 1982, S2,941.000 in 1981 and S2,747,000 in 1980. The amount of required payments is S2,240,000 in 1983, S2,038,000 in 1984, S1,793.000 in 1985, S2,137,000 in 1986, S1,813,000 in 1987 and S15,047,000 between 1988 and 1999.

7. Sale of Contracts The proceeds received by the company for the sale in 1975 of the contracts for a nuclear f:r Nuclear Plant steam supply system and related fuel, net of related plant expenditures which are consid-ered of no future value to the company, are classified as a deferred credit in the balance sheet. The credit has been reduced by applicable income taxes and related interest (See Note 2). The company has obtained regulatory approval for this accounting treatment.

Subject to regulatory approval, the net credit will be amortized to income, or altematively used to reduce the cost of subsequent replacement plant capacity. For ratemaking purposes, the net credit has been reflected as a reduction in rate base. However, in 1982, the company received a revenue order from the Maryland Public Service Commission which required the company to amortize the Maryland portion of the credit (approximately $5,960,000) over a five-year period and reduce the company's rate base by the unamortized portion of the credit. The company amortized $1,192,000 of the credit in 1982. This amortization of the net credit will not have a material effect on the company's fmancial position or results of operations. 33

8. Short-Term Debt and As of December 31,1982, the compaily had unused bank lines of credit of S58,000,000 Lines of Credit and is generally required to pay commitment fees for these hnes. Such lines of credit are periodically reviewed by the company, at which time they may be renewed or cancelled.

9. Jointly-Owned Plant Information with respect to the company's share of jointly owned plant, including nuclear fuel for the Salem plant, as of December 31,1982 is as follows:

(Dollars in Thousands) Construction Ownership Plantin Accumulated Workin Share Service Depreciation Progress Nuclear: Peach Bottom 7.51% S 71,983 S 18.806 S 1,125 Salem 7.41% 165,172 31,895 10,626 Coal-Fired: Keystone 3.70 % 8,34E 3,509 709 Conemaugh 3.72% 12,789 4,303 164 Total S 258,293 S 58.513 S 12,624 The company provides its own financing during the construction period for its share of jointly-owned plant. In addition, the company is a joint guarantor of loans ($1,075,000 proportionate share) advanced for operating of the coal mines that supply the Keystone plant. The company's share of operating and maintenance expenses of the jointly-owned plant is included in the correspondino expenses in the statements of income.

10. Contingencies See Note 2 for possible payment of taxes.

In January 1983, the company reached a settlement with four Delaware municipal electric wholesale customers inho had filed anti-trust suits against the company in 1977. The settlement of this suit, which is subject to FERC and District Court approval, did not have a materialimpact on the company's results of operations. Based upon settlements with resale customers, revenues recorded pursuant to interim rate increases effective December 1,1978. December 1,1980 December 29,1981 and November 1,1982, are approximately S6.5 million, S6.9 milhon, S2.0 million and S.6 million, respectively. These increases are subject to refund pending FERC apnroval, and the company believes that substantially all such revenues will be realized. The company is involved in certain other legal and administrative proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies conceming rates, environmental issues, taxes, licensing, fuel contracts and other matters. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these proceedings will not have a matenal effect on the financial position or results of operations of the company. The company is a member of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) which provides insurance coverage against the extra expense incurred in obtaming replacement power duririg prolonged accidental outages of nuclear power units. After the deductible period of 26 weeks, weekly indemnity of up to S2.5 million is provided for 52 weeks and S1.25 milhon for an additional 52 weeks for each insured umt. Insured members are contmgently liable 34

Delmatva Power & Light Company Notes to Consolid;ted FinancialSt tements

10. Contingencies for payment of a retrospective premium adjustment of up to five times the annual pre-(continued) mium if losses exceed accumulated funds available to NEIL. The company's maximum share of retrospective premium adjustments currently approximates S2.3 million.

The Price-Anderson Act places a limit of liability of $560 million on each nuclear generating facility for public liabdity claims that arise from a nuclear incident. Public hability insurance on the nuclear generating units in which the company has an ownership participation is currently provided by a combination of private insurance and indemnity agreements with an agency of the federal govemment. Under the indemnity agreements, the company, to the extent ofits ownership participation, could be assessed SS million per incident for each nuclear operating unit, subject to a maximum of $10 million per licensed reactor in any one year. The company is currently a joint owner of 4 reactors and its maximum assessment would be St.5 million per incident and S3.0 million in any one year. For property damage to the Peach Bottom nuclear plant facilities, the company and its co-owners have private insurance up to S460 million. The company and the Salem nuclear facihty co-owners are membw of Nuclear Mutual Limited (NML), which provides insurance coverages up to S500 million for property damage to nuclear plant facilities. In the event of losses at any plant covered by NML, the company would be subject to a maximum assessment of fourteen times its annual premium. Such maximum assessment would currently approximate S3.9 million. In addition, each of the facilities are insured for S400 million by Nuclear Electnc Insurance Limited (NEIL II) for losses in excess of $500 million. In the event of losses at any plant covered by NEIL IL the company would be subject to a maximum assessment of seven and a half times the annual premiums. Such maximum assessment would currently approximate S1.1 million for both plants. The company is a self-insurer, to the extent of its ownership interest, for any property loss in excess of the aforementioned amounts. The company has entered into a five-year contract, effective October 1,1980, with Atlantic City Electric Company to sell one-eighth of the electricity generated by Indian River unit 4. The major provisions of the contract allow for the company to receive, irrespective of the availability of electric generation, one-eighth of all operation and maintenance expenses incurred and a fixed return on the plant investment. Approval of this agreement was received from the FERC and the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC)in 1980. In connection with the decision of the DPSC, it was determined that profits from the contract up to the company's projection of S8.6 million be passed on to the customers, any losses be absorbed by the stockholders and profits above S8.6 million be passed to the stockholders. In July 1982, the DPSC recognized that the expected value of this contract may not be ascertainable and postponed the final issuance of their Order to permit further investigation of this matter during the remaining time of the operation of the contract. As of December 31,1982, the company believes that profits on the contract will be substantially in excess of the initial projection of S8.6 million. The company's coal-buying practices and contracts associated with the Indian River unit 4 became the subject of an investigation in 1982 fuel adjustment hearings before the DPSC. The Commission initially assessed damages to the company for S3.9 million which was reduced to S2.9 million. Once an order is received, the company intends to appeal the case to the Delaware Superior Court. In 1982, the company delayed the construction schedule for the 500-megawatt, coal-fired Vienna 9 generating unit. The plant is now scheduled to begin commercial operation in 1995. The decision is based on the company's current load forecast, which indicates a lower rate of growth in the coming decade than had previously been projected. The net mvestment, including AFUDC, at December 31,1982, is $13.4 million, which is anticipated to be recoverable at i rescheduled in-service date. 35

12. Supplementary Inforrnation The following supplementary financialinformation, as presenbed by the Financial to Disclose the Effects of Accounting Standards Board in Statement No. 33, is supphed for the purpose of providing Changing Prices (Unaudited) information about the effects of changing prices on the company's operations. The information should be viewed as an estimate of the approximate effect of inflation rather than as a precise measura.

Constant dollar amounts represent historical costs stated in terms of dollars of equal purchasing power, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Current cost amounts reflect the change in specific prices of plant fIom the date the plant was acquired to the present and differ from constant dollar amounts to the extent that specific prices have increased more or less rapidly than prices in general. The current cost of utility plant represents the estimated cost of replacmg existing plant assets and was determined by indexing existing plant by the Handy-Whitman Index of Public Utility Construction Costs.

Other operating experises were either not required to be adjusted or were not adjusted due to rate-making considerations. The company, by holding inonetary assets such as cash and receivables, loses purchasing power during periods of inflation because these items can purchase less at a future date. Conversely, by holding monetary liabihties, pnmarily long-term debt, payments in the future will be made with dollars having less purchasing power. For the years 1979-1982, the company's monetaryliabilities exceeded monetary assets which resulted in a purchasmg power gain on net amounts owed during the year. 38

12. Supplementary Information The rate regulatory process hmits the company to the recovery of the historical cost of (conunued) plaat. Therefore, the excess of the cost of plant stated in terms of constant dollars or current cost over the historical cost of plant is not presently recoverable in rates as depreciation and is reflected as a reduction to net recoverable cost. Based on past practices, however, the company believes it will be allowed to earn on the increased cost of its facilities when replacement actually occurs.

Smce the gain from the dochne in purchasing power is attributable to long-term debt which has been used to finance utility plant, the reduction of utihty plant to net recoverable amount is netted against the purchasing power gain on net amounts owed during the year.

13. Quarterly Financial The quarterly data presented below reflect all adjustments necessary in the opinion of Ini:rmation(Unaudited) the company for a fair presentation of the interim results.

Short-Term Financing For interim financing, the Company is authorized to have a total of $300 million of short-term obligations outstanding at any gis en time. The availability of short-term financing provides the Company greater flexibility in the issuance of long-term secunties. The Company's average daily short-term debt during 1982 was $ 108 million - $7 million over last year's average. However, at year end the Company had no short term debt outstanding. In January 1982, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement establishing a $75 million Two-Year Revolving Credit Facility with a group of international banks. under which the Banks have agreed to make revolving loans for one month, three months or six months at a rate based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate for deposits in United States Dollars. No borrowings have been made under this arrangement. The Company continues to have to finance larger cus-tomer accounts receivable. As of the end of 1982 receivables from custorrers approximated $361 million (excluding un-billed revenues of $182 million) and were $22 million higher than at the end of 1981. Reflectiag the slowdown in the economy, customer payments have slowed as the amounts of bills have increased. Furthermore. net write-off of uncol-lectible accounts this year was $5.4 million greater than the $27.0 million in 1981.The increases in accounts receivable and uncollectible accounts also reflect a requirement of the BPU prohibiting the termination of electric and gas service in New Jersey during the winter months with respect to cer-tain customers with financial need who are unable to pay utility bills. Cash Position The Company's cash position improved greatly during 1982 as a result of the colle: tion of energy costs deferred from prior years, the overrecoveries of 1982 energy costs, rate relief granted in February 1982,and equity and long-term debt financing. Any improvement resulting from overrecoveries is only temporary because any overrecovery remaining at the end of one levelized period is returned to customers with inter-est in the subsequent period. Effects of Inflation inflation continues to affect the national economy and the Company but not as severely as in the past few years. The Average Consumer Price index was 289.1, an increase of 6% over 1981 compared to increases of over 10% for the preceding three years. The Company has experienced record interest charges in recent years and increased dividend re-quirements at a time when substantial amounts must be raised in the capital markets to finance needed construction. Rising prices also have impacted construction, fuel and labor costs. For additional information on the effects of changing prices, see Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements. 46

'Ibtal common stock earnings were $279 million, up $55 million or 25% from 1981. The average number of shares outstanding increased 17% to 116 million. The increase in earnings was due primarily to electric sectnc cas andsteam customer and gas rate increases which became effective in 1981 and 1982. ,rhe r.asi. in a., rand cont orionn W=====Iretir center city department )

""'** ""' "*h '",$' ""'i, Electric Sales Rise; Gas, Steam Sales Pall 'Ibtal electric sales increased by 5% to 29.6 billion kilowatthours (kWh). The increase was due to higher sales of the Company's share of the output of Salem Unit No. 2 to Jersey Central Power & Light Company Electric sales to regular customers, excluding sales to Jersey Central Power & Light Company declined by 3% to 26.2 billion kWh. The recession caused depressed kilowatthour sales to large commercial and industrial customers. A cooler summer in 1982 held air conditioning loads below 1981 levels. Gas sales decreased by 6% to 69 billion cubic feet as a result of milder weather andiower sales to large commercial and industrial customers. Steam sales dropped 7%to five billion pounds as a result of continued conservation and conversion to other fuels by our steam customers. Revenue, Expenses Increase 'Ibtal operating revenue amounted to $2.6 billion, 9% above 1981. Electric operating revenue rose to $2.2 billion, an i increase of $179 million or 9% over 1981. This increase reflects higher base rates and an increase in revenue from the sale of Salem Unit No. 2 output and capacity Gas revenue amounted to $390 million, an increase of 10% over 1981, and steam revenue reached $73 million. 'Ibtal operating expenses before depreciation and taxes amounted to $1.7 billion, an increase of $35 million or 2% over 1981. The major elements of this increase were $18 million of increased costs associated with the full-year operation of Salem Unit No. 2, higher wages and benefits and increased costs for materials and supplies. Management continued to hold controllable costs to a minimum, consistent with reliable service. Interest charges increased $41 million (14%) and preferred dividends increased $4 million (7%).

Of this amount, approximately $588 million were spent on the Limerick project and related transmission facilities, l and $104 milhon in completing the flue gas scrubbing systems, or " scrubbers", for Eddystone and Cromby coal-fired generating stations. The remainder was spent for necessary projects throughout the electnc, gas, and steam systems. Estimated construction outlays are $996 million for 1983. 1982 Financing Program l During 1982, the Company raised more than $600 milhon, the second-highest amount cf capital ever raised by j Philadelphia Electric, to meet the needs of our construction program and refundings. The Company's major 1982 financings are sum-j manzed in the table on page 7. Internal cash sources, primarily 1 depreciation and deferred taxes, provided the remaining funds for i construction. l The magnitude of the Company's construction program, j as well as recent market conditions, have caused the Company to l utthze several innovative financing techniques to tap new sources of i capital. For example, the Company sold $30 million of tax-exempt j commercial paper to provide interim financing for the magnesium j oxide regeneration facihty in Claymont, Delaware at an average 1 interest rate of 4.670 during the last four months of 1982. j In December, the Company sold $100 milhon of a new tax-exempt security called a Floating Rate Monthly Demand Note. 4 Although the notes may remain outstanding for 30 years, they offer the Company significant savings since they carry an interest rate which fluctuates monthly tied to an index related to 30-day tax-exempt commercial paper. Interest rates on these notes are currently about one-half the rate paid on long-term, fixed-rate notes. I The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 provided for i special tax treatment of pubhc utihty dividends which are reinvested in quahfied new-issue common stock.

Rate Increases The Company must regularly raise the pnces ofits prod-ucts to offset the effects of inflation, to improve the Company's financial performance, to maintain the ability to attract new capital and to balance supply and demand. Rate proceedings for all energy services are summarized on the table on page 11. On May 21, the Pennsylvania PUC approved an annual electric rate increase of $221.7 million (1270). The increase was 64?o of the $344.4 million originally requested in July 1981 and reflected a h CMren's Hospital of 17.7570 return allowance on common stock equity The majority of the stN Electne ands disallowed revenue was related to the PUC's refusal to include m,y moa,,,3,,,i,,1,,,,,,,3,c,,,,,, Limerick construction-work-in-progress (CWIP) in rate base.

Also, a billing credit is available for large, high-voltage customers who are willing to have part of their usage interrupted on short notice.

After 39 days of evidentiary hearings and almost 4,000 pages of testimony from 37 witnesses, the ALJ concluded that, at the present time, there is no alternative available that can replace Limerick at a lower cost to the consumer and that both nuclear units should be brought on line as l close as possible to the projected 1985/1987 completion dates. l e ^ %g.. . g.g ,4 g - i2 e 4 w, -y .'f Drexel University \\,, Electnc and Steam Customer Our service territory encompasses more than 50 colleges and universities.

E_ t Despite the ALJs recommendation, the PUC adopted a motion on May 7,1982, that "either the cancellation or suspension of construction at Limerick Unit No. 2 would be in the public mterest." The Commission cited its inability and unwillingness to provide the revenue necessary to complete both Limerick units as proposed and l its belief that an aggressive conservation program could substantially offset the cancellation of Limerick Unit No. 2. On August 27, the PUC issued its final order finding that Limerick Unit No. 2 should be cancelled or suspended until Unit No.1 is completed; that the public interest requires timely completion of Limerick Unit No.1; and that the Company must pursue an aggressive conservation program to offset the absence of Unit ;o. 2. The order criticized construction delays announced by the Company in 1976 and 1978. It gave the Company 120 days to respond to the order. The Company appealed the PUC order to the Common-wealth Court and, on December 15, the Court unanimously reversed the PUC's August 27 order. The PUC and the Consumer Advocate have petitioned the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for approval to appeal the Commonwealth Court decision. The Company's studies continue to demonstrate that completion of both Limerick units is in the public interest and is the least cost alternative for meeting our customers' $cDe[ ~ increasing energy demands. Construction of Unit No. 2 is continuing on m arkan.-cm iai.3.ai a schedule for service in late 1988, the earliest feasible date. Comple-towant the wrapping operation at hmy tion of Unit No. I has been advanced by two months and should be ,7,, 3,m.,",',",';f, i$i,,,,4 ready for fuel loading in the summer of 1984, with commercial opera-pies and also has cookie diaribution and lion anticipated in early 1985.

This cost estimate is in line with other units scheduled for completion in the same time frame. As of December 31,1982, the Company had invested $2.54 billion in the Limerick project-$1.35 billion for Unit No.1, $563 million for Unit No. 2, and $627 million for facilities common to both units. i Energy Cost Rate Reduced The Company's Electric Energy Cost Rate (ECR) was reduced twice during 1982, resulting in reductions of about $200 million per year (10%). These decreases resulted from the continued good performance of our nuclear units, economic purchases of power from other utilities and lower prices for oil than anticipated. ECR rate reductions substantially offset higher base rates for Company customers, but did not affect the Company's earnings.

,,c u Nuclear Power The Company's nuclear power plants performed superbly durmg 1982. The Peach Bottom and Salem plarits cperated at a 68^ capacuy factor. Peach Bottom Unit No. 3 produced more than 8.5 bilhon kilowatthours of energy during the year. The production nearly equalled the free world record previously set by Peach Bottom Unit No. 2 in 1979, since surpassed by larger foreign units. The Peach Bottom units now hold the all-time fust and second positions in the United States for annual electrical energy production by a single generatmg unit, either nuclear or fossil fueled. The achievement was made possible, in part, by the Company's implementation of an 18-month, rather than a 12-month, refueling cycle for its nuclear units. This ehmmated the need for refueling Unit No. 3 during 1982 when it t experienced only three outages and was in continuous operation from May 31 to year-end. Tbtal fuel savings to Company customers from the opera-c,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tion of both units at Peach Bottom and Salem Unit No. I amounted to com, ~ more than $400 milhon in 1982. m a cuseme The outstanding performance by our nuclear units was a Kegs of beer are sealed at the Chris. significant factor in reducing the Company's use of fossil fuel.

These innovative facihties were designed and constructed under a Consent Decree between the Company the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pennsylvania Department of l Environmental Resources in order to satisfy air quahty standards which i hmit permissible levels of visible emissions, sulfur dioxide and particu-l late matter emissions from the stacks of the stations. The Eddystone l and Cromby scrubbers use a regenerative process which produces no sludge for disposal. Includmg the regeneration facihties. the total cost s of the scrubbers is about $317 million. Transmission and Distribution Electric service rehability continueo at a high level in 1982. The annual service availabihty of 99.991% was comparable to the average for the last five years. In other words, the average customer was without electric service for only 46 minutes during 1982. The Company's 220 and 500 kV systems have proven to be very reliable. Nevertheless, the towers which support the aerial hnes are vulnerable to storms and accidentss. Reliable electric service at the lowest possible cost requires a dependable high-voltage transmission system. An extended hne outage would be very costly particularly if it interrupted the supply from a low-cost source of power, such as a nuclear generating station. The Ccmpany has prepared for these

contingencies by its recent design and acquisition of unique temporary towers enabling us to restore up to a mile of 500 kV line in as little as 48 hours. Power Purchases Dunng 1982, the Company continued to utilize its transmission interconnections to purchase economical power from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM) and from systems outside of PJM. The purpose of these purchases was to mmmuze operation of higher-priced, oil-fired generating stations. Over 4 i 3.5 billion kilowatthours of coal-fired power were imported from systems in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. Another 150 million kilowatthours of oil-fired power were purchased during peak load hours from Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corpo-ration in New York, which is permitted to burn lower-cost oil. These purchases, together with 7.2 billion kilowatthours of power purchased from PJM, produced savings to the Companyb customers amounting to approximately $200 million in 1982. Limerick Supplementary Cooling Water System Construction began in early 1983 on the Point Pleasant Water Supply System, by which the Neshammy Water Resources Authority (NWRA) will supply water from the Delaware River for public use and also for supplementary cooling water for Limerick during periods of low flow on the Schuylkill River NWRA will pipe the water 2K miles from a pumping station,which it will construct on the Delaware River, to the Companyb 70 million gallon reservoir and pumping station. The Company will then pipe water from the reservoir 6% miles to the Perkiomen Creek and ultimately another 7% miles to Limerick by way of another pumping station and pipeline. Construction of Company facilities, estimated to cost $22 million, is scheduled to begm in early 1983. ~t 4 ( t e n... , wn,ang.

Temperature Controlled Service Winter space heating loads during cold weather cause high peak usage which must be met by relying on gas storage or alternative supplies. In addition to creating potential capacity problems, this results in higher costs. Smce April 1980, gas sales to new or expanding commercial and industrial customers have been limited to assure an adequate winter supply to all existing customers. Off-peak supplies of gas are now adequate and the Com-pany is again accepting requests for firm gas supplies from commer-cial and industrial customers for large process loads. Use of space heatmg by these customers will continue to be restricted by requiring large temperature-sensitive, gas-burnmg equipment to switch to alter-nate fuels dunng cold winter periods. i

The first is Philadelphias $325 million Center City Commuter I Connection project, the largest in the Citys history including a four-track tunnel that will hnk 580 miles of 13 regional electrified commuter rail lines of the former Reading and Penn Central railroads into an l integrated, flexible rail transit system. Extending more than 25 blocks through central Philadelphia, it is the keystone of a master plan for the revitalization of Center City Linked with the tunnel project is the $200 million second phase of the Market Street East Redevelopment Proj-ect, comprised of two new shopping malls, a major department store and three office buildings. Work is proceeding on schedule with completion e~oected in late 1983. The tunnel project and Market East redevelopment are providing jobs for approximately 4,000 people. Another important asset of the area's economy is the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Dunng the past three years,18 vessels, including the aircraft carrier Saratoga, have been rehabilitated at the yard. Eight more ships, including the carrier Forrestal, are scheduled for refitting, and the total cost of these projects will be over $2 billion. As a result of the work, civihan employment at the Navy Yard has doubled to approximately 14,000 employees. ResidentialSpace Heating Dunng 1982,11,000 additional residential units selected Company-supplied electricity or gas for space heating.
