To our shareholders

Much has changed this past year, most of it good, some not. In Illinois,
Commonwealth Edison won the right to pass through its cost of 
purchased power to its retail customers, despite a last ditch effort to
extend a ten-year rate freeze in the Illinois legislature. While the issue
seems likely to arise again, ComEd’s success to date is testament to the
strength of the wholesale competitive market, the strength of its legal
position and the tireless efforts of ComEd’s regulatory and legislative
teams. In New Jersey, however, we were obliged to walk away from our
long-pending merger with PSEG, despite its continuing strategic value,
when it became clear that we could not meet the significant financial
demands of state regulators and other government officials.

Yet each of these outcomes, seemingly very different, demonstrates 
the one thing that hasn’t changed here at Exelon. We are value driven.
The same focus and dedication that gave us a successful resolution 
of the rate issue in Illinois compelled us to abandon the merger in New
Jersey. And the same commitment and determination that resulted in 
a stellar operating year at Exelon Generation enabled PECO to install 
a new Common Customer IT system with few complications, while 
successfully dealing with record peak demands and a very demanding
summer storm season. We have never lost sight of our commitment
to deliver superior value to you, our shareholders.

3

As evidence of that commitment, Exelon has again reported improved 

operating earnings for 2006. Thanks primarily to higher generation margins

and continued strong operating performance, our 2006 adjusted (non-GAAP)

operating earnings were nearly $2.2 billion, or $3.22 per diluted share,

a 4 percent increase over comparable earnings in 2005. Over the past six years,

our operating earnings have increased by almost 9 percent a year. Exelon’s

2006 GAAP earnings were $1.6 billion, or $2.35 per diluted share, reflecting 

a further impairment charge to ComEd’s goodwill, this time arising from an

initial unfavorable ruling in last year’s delivery service case.* 

Our continuing success has again made us the most highly valued company

in the industry, with a year-end market capitalization exceeding $41 billion.

Our overall stock price rose by 16 percent over the course of the year, from

$53.14 on December 30, 2005 to $61.89 on December 29, 2006. And our total

return, measured by stock appreciation plus dividend reinvestment, was

approximately 20 percent. All in all, our total return over the past five years

has been 204 percent, far outstripping the performance of the Philadelphia

Utility Index, the S&P 500 Utility Index, and the S&P 500.

And we continue to earn favorable recognition in the media and from 

industry and civic groups. Fortune magazine named Exelon one of America’s

“Most Admired Companies,” and ranked Exelon number one on the electric

and gas utilities industry list, for both 2004 and 2005. We were also recently

named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index and the Carbon

Disclosure Project’s Climate Leadership Index. And due to our diversity efforts,

the Minority Supplier Development Council of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and

Delaware recently named Exelon as the 2006 Corporation of the Year.

Thus, we have kept our commitment to deliver superior value to you, our

shareholders, despite our many challenges. I am very proud of all that we have

accomplished. And I am very grateful to both the Exelon management team,

and our employees, for their dedication and tireless efforts on your behalf.

And I am very grateful 
to both the Exelon 
management team,

your behalf.

*The ICC initially granted only $8.3 million of a requested $317 million increase. On rehearing, the ICC increased the grant
to nearly $83 million, still well short of our original request. For a complete reconciliation of adjusted (non GAAP) operating
earnings to GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) earnings, see Exelon’s fourth quarter
earnings release, issued January 24, 2007, posted on the Investor Relations page at www.exeloncorp.com and included
in the 8-K filing with the SEC on that date.

value driven operations

As always, our success begins with superior operating performance, particularly

in generation. Our world-class nuclear fleet achieved a 93.9 percent capacity

factor for the year and a summer capacity factor record of 98.1 percent.

No other nuclear fleet has achieved Exelon’s consistent level of excellence 

in capacity factor over the past six years. Our fossil and hydro fleet likewise

ended the year with commercial and equivalent availability factors of 93.5

percent and 95 percent, respectively. This represents the highest commercial

availability ever achieved by our fossil units.

Our power marketing team again excelled in turning our operational prowess

into commercial success. Despite somewhat lower gas and power prices,

and lower load volume, Power Team hedged and optimized our portfolio to

again deliver above budget growth and profitability.

Our delivery companies, ComEd and PECO, have kept the lights on and the

gas flowing, even when confronted with record demands and abnormal storm

activity. They have also continued to improve their overall safety performance,

and reached second quartile in customer satisfaction for the first time ever.

Our finance group continues to ensure that Exelon exercises disciplined

financial management, and has taken steps to align our financial management

policies with the changing profile of the company. We have now adopted a

new value return policy, with a base dividend of $1.76 per share (annualized)

that will grow modestly over time. In the future, excess cash and/or balance

sheet capacity will be returned to shareholders from time to time through

share repurchases. Future dividends and share repurchases are subject to the

approval of our board of directors.

And lastly, our Business Services Group again improved its overall performance

and service levels, delivering quality products and services at the best cost

to all Exelon companies.

challenges

Winston Churchill once observed, “Kites rise highest against the wind – not

with it.” Although the past year has presented us with a series of challenges,

we have risen higher by squarely facing those challenges, squarely disclosing

them, and squarely resolving them consistent with our fundamental 

commitment to shareholder value.

Competition

Last year, we faced serious regulatory and legislative challenges in Illinois 

as the transition period under the Illinois Restructuring Act came to an end.

In January 2006, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) unanimously

approved a plan for ComEd to procure power on behalf of its customers

through a reverse auction with the new power supply contracts beginning 

in 2007. The ICC showed great courage approving the auction in the face 

of vocal political opposition. In September 2006, the first Illinois auction 

was successfully conducted, resulting in a 22 percent increase in average 

residential rates. A rate increase was inevitable in the wake of a 20 percent

rate reduction in 1997, a nine-year rate freeze and the recent increase in 

natural gas and oil prices. Even with the increase, customer rates remained

lower than cost based rates that were approved in 1995. But not surprisingly,

there was a legislative effort to freeze rates at the end of the year, even after

ComEd had entered into ICC approved contracts to purchase the power from

the auction winners.

Fortunately, the effort to extend the freeze failed. But many continue to

oppose the auction and the rate increase, and the issue will likely rise again.

In the interim, ComEd has taken steps to help its customers manage the

impact of the rate increase. The ICC has approved ComEd’s residential rate

stabilization plan, which allows residential customers the opportunity to

phase-in rates, if they choose to do so. ComEd is also proactively taking steps

to educate customers on energy efficiency and renewable energy programs

and assistance for low-income customers through the ComEd CARE

(Customers’ Affordable Reliable Energy) program.

Illinois is not alone in revisiting its commitment to competition. Despite 

the demonstrated improvement in operating performance brought on 

by competition, and the documented savings to customers, many national

advocacy groups are now calling for a return to cost-based regulation.

The irony, of course, is that many of today’s critics were in the forefront

of efforts to inject competition into the industry years ago. And while the

early transition to competitive markets was rocky, we have now seen steady

progress throughout the Northeast, the Midwest, and particularly in Illinois.

We at Exelon are deeply committed to wholesale competition, and in the

coming months we intend to redouble our advocacy for the competitive

model, at both the federal and state level.

Winston Churchill 
once observed, “Kites
rise highest against
the wind – not with it.”

Climate Change 

We are also dealing with climate change. We believe that global climate

change is real. The scientific evidence strongly suggests that human activity

is warming the planet. And we believe that the time to act is now. Exelon has

already taken voluntary action to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions

by 8 percent from 2001 levels under the Environmental Protection Agency’s

Climate Leaders Program. We are also actively advocating the passage of

economy-wide mandatory limits at the federal level, both individually and

through our association with the National Commission on Energy Policy 

and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. We support federal legislation

that will impose either a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system with a safety

valve to govern economic impact. With our current nuclear fleet, we are 

well positioned to provide environmental leadership into a low-carbon energy

future. And in the future, we intend to expand our low-carbon resource 

portfolio around low or no carbon generation, energy efficiency, demand

management and renewables.

looking forward

I am often asked what our strategy is. The answer is quite simple. Our strategy

is to execute our Vision, in good times and in bad, to protect today’s value,

and to grow long-term value for the future. In the pages that follow we provide

a more detailed look at the Vision, and how its goals drive value, now and in

the future.

In sum, I continue to believe that Exelon has the best platform for confronting

an uncertain future. We have an exceptional generation business, one well

positioned to respond to increasing environmental challenges, and with 

a demonstrated ability to make money when markets are up, or when they

are down. We have a stable and improving delivery business, with a strong

commitment to our customers and the communities we serve. And we have

the balance sheet and the financial discipline to sustain us.

We also have the Vision and the talent to guide that platform. We know

what it takes to be the very best, and we have the proven judgment and the

absolute commitment of a seasoned management team to get us there.

And even more fundamentally, we have a bedrock commitment to value, one

that will see us through our current and future challenges. We are value driven.

Value driven to keep the lights on and the gas flowing

Protect today’s value 
First and foremost, we must live up to our commitment to keep the lights on and the gas flowing. Our delivery 
companies must continue to operate safely, reliably and efficiently, and provide superior service to our customers.
They must also secure power supplies for those customers at the best price available in the marketplace.

10

Grow long-term value
Each of our delivery companies must stand on its own feet. For ComEd, this means opposing rate freeze legislation,
seeking regulatory and political solutions that enable it to recover prudently incurred purchased power and delivery
service costs, and putting itself on a path to financial health. For PECO, this means maintaining its strong operating
and financial performance while preparing for its transition to market in 2011.

11

Value driven to run our nuclear fleet
at world-class levels 

Protect today’s value
In 2006, Exelon Nuclear performed at world-class levels. We achieved 
a record summer capacity factor of 98.1 percent, and our fleet-wide
annual capacity factor was 93.9 percent, the sixth consecutive year 
that it has exceeded 92 percent. Our fossil and hydro units also excelled,
with commercial availability factors of 93.5 percent and 95 percent,
respectively.

Grow long-term value
To assure the continued growth of the nuclear industry, we must sustain
and improve our current level of performance, while at the same time
taking concrete steps to bolster public confidence in nuclear power
through greater disclosure and applying the lessons learned from the 
tritium incidents. We must also continue to press for the safe and 
effective storage of spent fuel, and the development of next generation
passive designs.

13

Value driven to capitalize on environmental 
leadership and clean nuclear energy

Protect today’s value
In 2006, Exelon was named to both the Dow Jones Sustainability North
American Index and the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Leadership Index.
We further demonstrated our commitment to environmental leadership
through the design and construction of our new corporate headquarters 
in downtown Chicago. Utilizing existing space, the new facility uses the
latest in environmental and sustainable design to provide employees
with an inviting space in which they can feel positive about their work
environment.

Grow long-term value
As the nation’s largest nuclear generator, Exelon is well positioned to 
provide environmental leadership in a low-carbon energy future. We must
leverage that advantage by providing real and measurable environmental
benefits that also make good business sense. We have already taken 
voluntary action to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and we are
active advocates of mandatory federal greenhouse gas regulation. In the
future, we will expand our low-carbon resource portfolio around clean
nuclear energy, natural gas, energy efficiency, demand management
and renewables.

14

Value driven to create a challenging and rewarding workplace

Protect today’s value
Exelon is striving to become a high-performance organization with a strong culture of continuous improvement –
where each employee strives to do his or her best each day, and the organization provides support and opportunity
for diversity and growth. In recognition of our effort, BusinessWeek recently named Exelon one of the 50 Best Places
to Launch a Career.

16

Grow long-term value
We must continue our efforts to create an environment that brings out the best in our employees, while attracting,
developing and retaining top-notch talent. We will do this by focusing on integrating our values of safety, integrity,
diversity, respect, accountability and continuous improvement into a workplace where employees understand how
the work they do links to the Vision and to Exelon’s strategic direction.

17

Value driven to enhance the value of our generation

Protect today’s value
A significant portion of Exelon’s current stock value depends on sustaining market prices for the output of Exelon
Generation’s unregulated nuclear fleet. To protect the value of that fleet, Exelon Generation must continue to 
optimize the generation portfolio and appropriately hedge market risk. It must also oppose regulatory or political
efforts to regulate generation prices, “claw back” unregulated generation profits, or otherwise hinder its ability 
to obtain market prices for its power.

18

Grow long-term value
We are ardent supporters of competitive wholesale markets. We believe that competitive market forces ensure 
the best value for both customers and investors. As the debate over restructuring and competition continues,
we are stepping up our advocacy efforts on a range of issues, including organized markets like PJM and ERCOT 
and competitive procurement approaches like the Illinois auction.

19

Value driven to build value through disciplined
financial management

Protect today’s value
Exelon is transitioning from a more traditional, stable utility to a more
cyclical commodity-driven merchant generator with a sizable utility 
presence. As our business profile changes, its financial characteristics
and value proposition to investors also change. We have recently adopted
a new value return policy, with a base dividend that will grow modestly
over time. In the future, excess cash and/or balance sheet capacity will 
be returned to shareholders from time to time through share repurchases.
Future dividends and share repurchases are subject to the approval of
our board of directors.

Grow long-term value
As we look forward, we are dedicated to growing future value by taking 
the organization to the next level of performance, aligning our financial
policies, evaluating new growth opportunities, and advancing our 
environmental strategy. We must find growth opportunities without
sacrificing financial discipline, without getting hung up in protracted
approval proceedings and without trading too much of today’s earnings
for promised future returns. We are open to a variety of opportunities
that meet these criteria.

Exelon at a Glance

comed and peco – energy delivery operations 

In 2006, ComEd and PECO continued sharing best practices
in support of Exelon’s corporate vision of fulfilling com-
mitments, performing at world-class levels, and building
value through disciplined financial management. In this
effort, the utilities improved upon their distinguished 2005
safety performance, reached second quartile in customer
satisfaction for the first time ever, and performed well
during record heat waves and powerful storms.

ComEd
Regulatory activities highlighted ComEd’s year, as a nine-
year rate freeze ended in January 2007 as part of Illinois’
transition to a competitive electric industry. While Illinois’
first ever electricity auction resulted in the lowest avail-
able market price for electricity, there will be a 24 percent
increase on residential customer bills in 2007 due to higher
energy and delivery service costs. Still, ComEd rates will
remain lower than they were in 1995.

To help customers prepare for new rates, ComEd established
the ComEd CARE (Customers’ Affordable Reliable Energy)
program. This initiative includes an optional residential
rate phase in program to pay for the rate increase over time,
special programs to assist low-income customers, and an
energy efficiency campaign to help customers reduce
their energy use and lower their bills. One of this year’s
highlights was CARE’s compact fluorescent light bulb 
program, which provided ComEd customers deep discounts
on more than 1 million energy efficient light bulbs. An
additional 200,000 bulbs were distributed free to low-
income customers.

Extreme summer weather in ComEd’s territory, including
two straight days of record demand, stressed the distribu-
tion system. ComEd received positive comments from
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley for its overall perform-
ance and response to outages during the heat wave.
ComEd also received praise from many customers and
area leaders for the utility’s restoration efforts following
especially destructive storms.

PECO
On Jan. 1, 2006, PECO instituted changes to its electric 
distribution, competitive transition and generation
charges, which increased the bundled residential rate by
about 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, or 7.6 percent. The rate
changes were part of a 12-year rate plan approved by the 

22

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in 1997. The com-
petitive transition charge (CTC) and generation charges
rose again on Jan. 1, 2007 with no other changes scheduled
through 2010 at which time PECO’s CTC, which provides a
dedicated funding stream for securitization bonds, expires.

For gas customers, lower wholesale costs allowed PECO 
to reduce its purchased gas cost portion of its overall gas
rate in four consecutive quarters. The rate decreases rolled
back sharp increases that took effect in 2005 following
the Gulf of Mexico hurricanes.

Customer outages associated with storms were more than
three times the previous year, and storm-related outages
accounted for roughly half of all customer interruptions.
PECO’s response to the storms was commendable.

One of PECO’s most important strategic projects was the
completion of a new Customer Information Management
System (CIMS), which went live Oct. 16. PECO and ComEd
now operate a common platform for account management,
billing, and other customer service functions. The implemen-
tation involved 350 employees from across PECO, ComEd and
Information Technology, and more than 18 months of plan-
ning and transfer of data from 70 interfacing systems.

Early in 2006, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National
Renewable Energy Laboratory recognized the PECO WIND
program as the 7th largest utility-sponsored renewable
energy program in the country. PECO WIND enrollments
grew 55 percent, to more than 34,000 customers over 
the year, including several municipalities in southeastern
Pennsylvania. Purchases through PECO WIND in 2006 had
an environmental benefit equal to taking 6,500 cars off
the road or planting 7.6 million trees.

By the Numbers
ComEd, with about 5,500 employees, serves 3.8 million
electric customers in Chicago and northern Illinois. PECO
and its 2,100 employees serve about 1.6 million electric
customers and more than 475,000 natural gas customers
in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania. In 2006,
ComEd and PECO collectively distributed more than 128,000
gigawatt-hours of electricity to customers. PECO provided
more than 76 billion cubic feet of natural gas through
approximately 12,000 miles of pipelines.

exelon generation 

exelon business services company 

Exelon Nuclear, the nation’s largest operator of commercial
nuclear reactors, continued to perform at world-class levels
in 2006. Exelon Nuclear’s owned generation produced
131,385,409 megawatt-hours of electricity in 2006, an all-
time company record. There are 6,800 nuclear professionals
working at Exelon Nuclear. Whether serving at a site or 
at Exelon Nuclear’s headquarters in Warrenville, Ill., these
professionals implement industry best practices to ensure
safe, reliable operation throughout the fleet. With 10 
generating stations and 17 reactors in the Midwest and
Mid-Atlantic regions, Exelon Nuclear also achieved a record
summer capacity factor of 98.1 percent and an overall
capacity factor of 93.9 percent, both well above the industry
average. Exelon Nuclear continued its industry leadership
in well-executed planned outages, completing 10 refueling
outages in an average of 24 days, versus an industry aver-
age of 39 days. Exelon Nuclear generation performance
was enhanced by continued focus on equipment reliability,
resulting in the fleet’s best-ever forced loss rate.

Exelon Power’s fleet of fossil and hydroelectric units in
Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas
provided more than 14,966,280 megawatt-hours of reliable
generation in 2006. With 113 units at 23 different sites,
Exelon Power can provide more than 8,000 megawatts 
of safe, efficient and environmentally responsible base
load, intermediate, and peak power generation. Over the
past few years, Exelon Power has made great strides in
optimizing the performance of its units and maintenance
programs while continuing to perform safely to provide
the company with the right power, at the right time, and
at the right price.

Exelon Power Team is the power marketing division of
Exelon, whose role it is to manage the risk and maximize
the economic value associated with Exelon’s electric 
generating facilities, fuel requirements, emission credits,
transmission contracts and load obligations. Power Team’s
wholesale marketing and transaction efforts are focused
on the electricity markets in several regions of the United
States: the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, the Northeast, the
Southwest and Texas. Power Team’s retail electric and gas
marketing, sales and operations are focused in the Midwest.
Power Team’s trade floor and headquarters are located 
in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, with retail offices in Ohio
and Illinois.

Exelon Business Services Company (EBSC) is a direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of Exelon Corporation that serves as a

leverage technology and economies of scale to improve
managing costs, quality and efficiencies.

In 2006, EBSC improved its overall performance and service
levels, ranking above industry benchmarks in most areas,
including IT service reliability, legal client satisfaction 
and payroll accuracy, while exceeding demanding cost-
savings targets. The company enabled supply chain savings
of $70 million, surpassing its aggressive target for the
third consecutive year. Importantly, the Diverse Business
Enablement program directed $341 million of Exelon’s
spending on materials and services to minority- and
women-owned businesses.

EBSC also implemented a Common Customer System
across Exelon Energy Delivery for billing and managing
customer information, replacing a legacy application at
PECO, and providing more automated controls and processes
in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Other
highlights include the financial and legal support of Illinois’
first auction for procuring wholesale electricity for ComEd.

To continue to provide exceptional service and unparal-
leled value in 2007, EBSC will focus on providing greater
cost transparency and broadening its benchmarking to
demonstrate the value of its products and services. It also
will support Exelon’s environmental leadership by pursuing
LEED certification for the corporate headquarters.

Net Income. Exelon’s net income for 2006 reflects higher realized prices on market sales and increased nuclear output at

Generation; a one-time benefit of approximately $158 million to recover previously incurred severance costs approved by the

December 2006 amended Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) rate order; a one-time benefit of approximately $130 million to

recover certain costs approved by the July 2006 ICC rate order; a decrease in Generation’s nuclear asset retirement obligation

resulting from changes in management’s assessment of the probabilities associated with the anticipated timing of cash flows to

decommission primarily AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen) nuclear plants; unrealized mark-to-market gains;

increased electric revenues at PECO associated with certain authorized rate increases; and increased kWh deliveries,

excluding the effects of weather, reflecting load growth at ComEd and PECO. These increases were partially offset by a $776

million impairment charge associated with ComEd’s goodwill; unfavorable weather conditions in both the ComEd and PECO

service territories; a charge of approximately $55 million for the write-off of capitalized costs associated with the terminated

proposed merger with Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG); increased severance and severance-related

charges; losses from investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities; increased depreciation and amortization expense,

including competitive transition charges (CTC) amortization at PECO; and higher operating and maintenance expenses

including increased costs associated with storm damage in the PECO service territory, increased nuclear refueling outage

costs,

increased stock-based compensation expense as a result of adopting FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),

EXELON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Discussion of Financial Results – Exelon

(continued)

“Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123-R), and the impacts of inflation. Exelon’s net income for 2005 reflects an impairment

charge of $1.2 billion associated with ComEd’s goodwill; unrealized mark-to-market losses; losses of $42 million for the

cumulative effect of adopting FIN 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47);

favorable tax

settlements at Generation and PECO; and gains realized on AmerGen’s decommissioning trust fund investments related to

changes in the investment strategy.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased primarily due to an increase in wholesale and retail electric sales at

Generation due to an increase in market prices; higher nuclear output; electric rate increases at PECO; and higher kWh

deliveries at ComEd and PECO, excluding the effects of weather. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable weather

conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories.

Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense decreased due to lower volumes of power purchased

in the market and decreased fossil generation, partially offset by overall higher market energy prices and higher natural gas

and oil prices. Purchased power represented 20% of Generation’s total supply in 2006 compared to 22% for 2005.

Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and maintenance expense increased primarily due to a charge of

approximately $55 million for the write-off of capitalized costs associated with the terminated proposed merger with PSEG;

increased nuclear refueling outage costs;

increased severance and severance-related charges;

increased stock-based

compensation expense as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123-R; and the impacts from inflation. These increases were partially

offset by a one-time benefit of $201 million to recover certain costs approved by the ICC’s July 2006 rate order and the ICC’s

December 2006 amended rate order; the impact of the reduction in Generation’s estimated nuclear asset retirement obligation;

mark-to-market gains associated with Exelon’s investment in synthetic fuel-producing facilities; and a charge for a reserve

recorded by Generation in 2005 for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims.

Impairment of Goodwill. During 2006, ComEd recorded a $776 million impairment charge associated with its goodwill primarily

due to the impacts of the ICC’s July 2006 rate order. During 2005, in connection with the annually required assessment of

goodwill for impairment, ComEd recorded a $1.2 billion charge.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to additional CTC

amortization at PECO and additional plant placed in service.

Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other than income increased primarily due to a reduction in 2005 of previously established

real estate tax reserves at PECO and Generation and a net increase in utility revenue taxes at ComEd and PECO in 2006,

partially offset by favorable state franchise tax settlements at PECO in 2006.

Other Income and Deductions. The change in other income and deductions reflects increased interest expense associated with

the debt issued in 2005 to fund Exelon’s voluntary pension contribution; higher interest rates on variable rate debt outstanding;

higher interest expense on Generation’s one-time fee for pre-1983 spent nuclear fuel obligations to the Department of Energy;

an interest payment to the Internal Revenue Service associated with the settlement of a tax matter at Generation; and a

one-time benefit of $87 million approved by the ICC’s July 2006 rate order to recover previously incurred debt expenses to

retire debt early .

Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 43.1% for 2006 compared to 49.8% for

2005. The goodwill impairment charges increased the effective income tax rate from continuing operations by 9.7% and 22.3%

for 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 12 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s

2006 Form 10-K for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.

Discussion of Financial Results – Exelon

(continued)

Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in

Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially all components of

Enterprises. Accordingly, the results of operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these entities have been presented as

discontinued operations within Exelon’s (for Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe) and Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC (Enterprises))

and Generation’s (for Sithe) Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2 and 3 of the

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2006 Form 10-K for further information regarding the

presentation of Sithe and certain Enterprises businesses as discontinued operations.

The income from discontinued operations decreased by $12 million for 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to the gain on the

sale of Sithe in 2005 partially offset by an adjustment to the gain on the sale of Sithe in 2006 as a result of the expiration of

certain tax indemnifications.

Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles reflects the

impact of adopting FIN 47 as of December 31, 2005. See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

within Exelon’s 2006 Form 10-K for further discussion of the adoption of FIN 47.

Generation’s net income for 2006 compared to 2005 increased due to higher revenue, net of purchased power and fuel

expense partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expense, higher depreciation expense, higher interest expense

and lower other income. The increase in Generation’s revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense was due to realized

revenues associated with forward sales contracts entered into in prior periods which were recognized at higher prices,

combined with lower purchased power and fuel expense due to the impact of higher nuclear output. Unlike the energy delivery

business, the effects of unusually warm or cold weather on Generation depend on the nature of its market position at the time of

the unusual weather. Generation’s net income for 2006 and 2005 reflects income from discontinued operations of $4 million and

$19 million (after tax), respectively.

PECO’s net income in 2006 decreased primarily due to higher CTC amortization and higher operating and maintenance

expense, which reflected higher storm costs. Partially offsetting these factors were higher revenues, net of purchased power

and fuel expense. Higher net revenues reflected certain authorized electric rate increases, including a scheduled CTC rate

increase, partially offset by lower net electric and gas revenues as a result of unfavorable weather relative to the prior year. The

increases in CTC amortization expense and CTC rates were in accordance with PECO’s 1998 restructuring settlement with the

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. The increase in CTC amortization expense exceeded the increase in CTC revenues.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over

financial reporting. Exelon’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance

regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance

with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,

projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate

because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Exelon’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of Exelon’s internal control over financial reporting as of

December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment,

Exelon’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, Exelon’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

February 13, 2007

Information Derived from 2006 Form 10-K

We have presented a condensed discussion of financial results, excerpts from our consolidated financial statements and a

copy of our Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in this summary annual report. A complete

discussion of our financial results and our complete consolidated financial statements, including notes, appears on pages 62

through 324 of our Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006. That annual report was filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2007 and can be viewed and retrieved through the Commission’s web

site at www.sec.gov or our web site at www.exeloncorp.com.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, issued a report dated February 13, 2007 on

their integrated audit of our consolidated financial statements and our internal controls over financial reporting. In their report

they expressed an unqualified opinion that those consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of Exelon Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations

and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting

principles generally accepted in the United States of America. They also expressed an unqualified opinion that Exelon’s

assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting, that Exelon maintained effective

internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated

Framework issued by COSO, is fairly stated, in all material respects. Furthermore, they expressed an unqualified opinion that

Exelon maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on

criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The full text of PricewaterhouseCoopers

LLP’s report can be found on pages 150 and 151 of our 2006 Form 10-K.

Certifications

The CEO of Exelon has made the required annual certifications for 2006 to the New York Stock Exchange and the Philadelphia

Stock Exchange that Exelon is in compliance with the listing standards of those exchanges. The CEO and CFO have filed with

the SEC all required certifications under section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These certifications are filed as

Exhibits 31-1 and 31-2 to Exelon’s 2006 Form 10-K.
