On the cover: View from Exelon’s Conowingo hydro-electric plant in Darlington, Md. Built in 1928 and situated on the Susquehanna River, it
was the second largest hydroelectric project in the United States. Conowingo is the chief PJM resource for restoration of service in the event
of a major system loss of electricity. Two fish lifts operated by Exelon have helped more than 1.2 million American Shad fish over the dam to
continue their migration up the Susquehanna.

To our shareholders

2007 was a truly remarkable year. Exelon delivered the substantial increases
in both operating and GAAP earnings that the market expected – the latter
while bearing the costs of the Illinois settlement. We remain one of the
most profitable companies in the industry. Our operating performance
improved in both our generation and delivery businesses, led as always by
our world-class nuclear program. We successfully navigated a protracted
and painful transition to competition in Illinois. In my 24 years as a CEO,
I do not recall a better overall performance by a utility.

Through many challenges, we have protected and significantly increased
the value with which you have entrusted us. Some of that value already has
been returned to you in share repurchases and dividend increases. We
remain confident in our ability to protect and grow that value in the years
to come. We have the nation’s best portfolio of generation assets, a strong
record of financial discipline, and one of the most talented management
teams in the industry. We are absolutely committed to delivering reliable
and affordable service to our customers and superior value to you, our
shareholders – in good economic times and bad, in high price environments
and low, in favorable regulatory environments and unfavorable. For 
customers and shareholders alike, Exelon provides sustainable value.

sustainable earnings

For the seventh consecutive year, Exelon reported improved operating earnings.

Thanks to the end of the market transition period in Illinois, a record year for

nuclear output and continued strong wholesale margins, our 2007 adjusted

(non-GAAP)* operating earnings totaled $4.32 per share, a 34 percent

increase over comparable earnings in 2006. Over the past seven years, Exelon’s

operating earnings have grown more than 12 percent per year. Our 2007

GAAP earnings were $4.05 per share, a 72 percent increase over 2006.

Our sustained financial performance made Exelon the most highly valued 

company in the industry. Our year-end market capitalization was almost

$54 billion, over $24 billion more than our next largest competitor. Our overall

stock price rose by nearly 32 percent during the course of the year, from

$61.89 on Dec. 29, 2006 to $81.64 on Dec. 31, 2007. Our total return for 2007,

measured by stock appreciation plus dividend reinvestment, was 35 percent.

From the completion of the Unicom/PECO merger in October 2000 to the

end of 2007, our total return has been 243 percent, significantly outpacing

the performance of both the Philadelphia Utility Index (105 percent) and the

S&P 500 Index (19 percent).

Our accomplishments have again been recognized by a wide array of observers.

Fortune magazine named Exelon one of America’s “Most Admired Companies,”

and ranked Exelon second on the electric and gas utilities list. We were

named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the second

consecutive year and to the Climate Disclosure Project’s Climate Leadership

Index for the third consecutive year. The U.S. Green Building Council certified

our renovated Chicago headquarters as LEED®-Commercial Interiors Platinum,

its highest environmental rating. Our delivery companies were likewise singled

out; ComEd recently received the Emergency Recovery Award from the Edison

Electric Institute for its response to the “storm of the decade” that hit northeast

Illinois in August and PECO’s Low-Income Usage Reduction Program was 

recognized by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy as one

of the nation's most exemplary energy efficiency programs. I am personally

gratified that our performance led Institutional Investor magazine to name

me as the industry’s top CEO.

The value we have delivered to you is a result of the consistent and disciplined

work of the Exelon management team and our employees. They have given

us a real opportunity to realize the Exelon Vision: to be the best group of

electric generation and electric and gas delivery companies in the United

States. I thank all of them for these efforts.

*For a 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 Jan. 23, 2008 posted on the investor relations
page at www.exeloncorp.com and included in the 8-K filed with the SEC on that date.

sustainable operations

Exelon’s remarkable performance in 2007 was led by another great year for our

generation business. Our world-class nuclear fleet, led by Chris Crane and Chip

Pardee, set company records for production (132.3 million net MWh) and capacity

factor (94.5 percent).We have achieved a nuclear capacity factor above 93 percent

in each of the past five years, a consistent level of excellence unparalleled in our

industry. Our renewable and fossil assets performed well under the leadership

of Mark Schiavoni. Our hydro fleet maintained a near-record equivalent availability

factor (94.7 percent), and our fossil fleet ended the year with a solid 91.2 percent

commercial availability factor.

Our power marketing team completed another year of enhancing the value of

our generation assets. Despite lower than expected load volume in the east,

Ian McLean, Ken Cornew and our Power Team successfully bid into PJM’s new

Reliability Pricing Model (RPM), met or exceeded our publicly stated hedging

goals and tirelessly worked to optimize our portfolio. These steps have helped to

secure the value we promise to deliver to you each year.

Our delivery companies likewise performed well, although we are still seeking

consistent top quartile performance. Under Frank Clark and Barry Mitchell,

ComEd achieved its best non-storm outage duration in 10 years and earned

both industry recognition and regulatory praise for its response to August’s

“storm of the decade.” PECO recorded better-than-target reliability numbers,

including distinguished performance in interruption frequency and managed a

very warm summer without significant incident. Denis O’Brien and his team

have spent countless hours with Pennsylvania legislators addressing transition

to market issues. I remain confident that they will deliver a reasonable solution

on this front.

Under the leadership of John Young, our finance group continued to demonstrate

the disciplined financial management that has been a hallmark of Exelon’s 

performance. We executed a $1.25 billion accelerated share repurchase in

September and announced an additional $500 million repurchase in December.

We also have announced that our dividend will increase by 14 percent in 2008.

John has left Exelon to assume a CEO position but Ian McLean, Matt Hilzinger

and Michael Metzner are committed to maintaining the financial rigor and

integrity that you have come to expect.

And last, but certainly not least, our Business Services Company again performed

admirably in its role as a provider of low-cost, quality support services. Ruth Ann

Gillis and her team continue to ensure that all of the Exelon companies operate

with the best resources available.

sustainable environmental performance

Last year, I wrote about the serious challenge we face as a nation and as a

world community in responding to global climate change. The science behind

climate change is now compelling – global average temperatures are rising and

human activity is a major contributor. We must begin to address the problem

now. Unfortunately, there are no easy regulatory or technological solutions.

Exelon has been a leading industry voice for federal enactment of greenhouse

gas regulation since 2002. We continue to actively advocate for a mandatory,

economy-wide climate program that will begin to address the problem 

effectively without imposing an impossible financial burden on our customers

or the economy as a whole. Betsy Moler and her Washington team press the

issue daily, both individually and in cooperation with the National Commission

on Energy Policy, the U.S. Climate Action Partnership and the Clean Air Group.

Exelon is well positioned to succeed in a carbon-constrained world by virtue

of our world-class nuclear fleet. Yet our advantage poses challenges of its

own. The value we derive from carbon regulation will inevitably result from

higher electricity prices. Our regulators understand this, and they will

demand value in return. They will expect us to lead the industry in building

an affordable, reliable, low carbon energy future for our customers. Thus,

we must be recognized not merely as a beneficiary of carbon regulation, but

as an innovator and problem solver. We must find ways to address energy

supply issues in a greener way. And we must do so in a manner that inflicts

the least financial burden on our customers.

As a consequence, we have recently initiated a corporate-wide effort to develop

a comprehensive sustainability strategy. Our goal must be ambitious – we

must reduce, displace or offset a major portion of our carbon footprint by a

certain date. First, we will further reduce our own green house gas (GHG)

emissions. While we already have one of the lowest emission rates in the

country, we are exploring every conceivable opportunity to further improve

the efficiency of our buildings, our transportation fleet, our transmission

and distribution operations and to make our supply chain a model of low

carbon procurement.

Second, we will help our customers reduce their GHG emissions. ComEd

already has begun implementing what will become one of the nation’s

largest energy efficiency programs; PECO currently is working with

Pennsylvania legislators to craft similarly reasonable yet bold energy policy.

Third, we will reduce overall GHG emissions in the markets in which we operate.

We are rigorously evaluating new low carbon supply sources, including capacity

uprates at our existing nuclear plants, new natural gas-fired generation and

renewable energy resources like wind. We also continue to pursue the possibility

of building a new nuclear facility in Texas. The Board has agreed to fund 

additional exploration and we plan to submit a combined construction and

operating licensing application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2008.

Exelon is well positioned
to succeed in a carbon-
constrained world

6

“There is no security 
on this earth, there is
only opportunity”

Our success will inevitably depend upon both economic and political 

developments. Rising prices for fuel and commodities complicate the industry’s

ability to deliver affordable electricity, particularly in a time of economic

slowdown. We also need enactment of national and regional energy policies

that foster, rather than frustrate, an affordable, reliable, low-carbon future.

We must have an effective federal loan-guarantee program for the next

generation of nuclear plants, a resolution to the nuclear waste storage issue,

aggressive financial support of research and development, constructive regu-

latory partners and a strong commitment to competitive electricity markets.

This last piece – competitive markets and the prices they yield – is particularly

critical. Competitive markets are essential to the value of your shares and the

needs of our customers. Competition best provides the incentives necessary

to build the lowest cost, most reliable, lowest carbon energy infrastructure.

To ensure competition’s success, we will continue to work with our regulators

to develop the most acceptable competitive procurement processes, we will

demonstrate that competitive markets best encourage conservation efforts,

we will validate PJM’s RPM structure by building new supply resources and

we will increase our activity in competitive retail products.

moving ahead

After a noteworthy year like 2007, I am reminded that General Douglas

MacArthur once said, “There is no security on this earth, there is only oppor-

tunity.” At Exelon, we see our situation in the same light. We have performed

well, we have met your high expectations, but we move forward with the

constant knowledge that you expect us to turn tomorrow’s challenges and

opportunities into real value.

We have the assets, skills and team to deliver sustainable value to you for

years to come. Our assets have us prepared to excel in a carbon-constrained

world. Our financial management skills will allow us to make difficult, yet

well-informed decisions as we look to build a new generation of power plants

and improve the performance of our delivery affiliates. Our management

team will work tirelessly to protect and grow your value, whether through

defending competitive markets, growing and sustaining superior performance,

or hedging the many risks that face our businesses.

Our Vision is unwavering – we are determined to be the best.

Sustainable portfolio

A low-carbon future requires low-carbon energy. No company is better
positioned to meet this growing demand than Exelon. We are the fourth
largest generation company in the country, yet we release carbon emissions
at a fraction of any other company in the top 10.

It starts with Exelon’s best-in-class nuclear fleet, the largest in the nation,
producing enough energy to power 11.5 million homes with virtually no
greenhouse gas emissions. We continue to extract more energy from
these plants through operational improvements that have doubled the
fleet’s capacity factor in the last 10 years.

Exelon is also deeply invested in alternative energy. We are the largest
marketer of wind-generated electricity east of the Mississippi River and
own the second largest landfill gas facility in the country. Our hydroelectric
facilities can generate more than 1,600 megawatts of electricity. We are
investing in solar energy, as well, through a 20-year power purchase
agreement with the fourth largest solar generation project in the U.S.

In short, Exelon has optimal generation assets for a carbon-constrained
world. We are an energy company completely aligned for the coming 
low-carbon revolution.

11

Sustainable products & services

Public concern about climate change is bringing new demand for 
environmentally friendly products and services - and Exelon is leading
the way. Exelon Generation, for example, is now a key broker in the
emerging market for renewable energy credits (RECs). Exelon’s renewable
energy portfolio includes wind, landfill, municipal solid waste and 
hydro-electric generation.

Empowering customers to make environmentally conscious choices is at
the heart of the PECO Wind program, which enables customers to purchase
renewable energy. And ComEd and PECO together make Exelon a national
leader in implementing demand-side management, real-time pricing 
and advanced meters so customers can more strategically manage their
energy use.

Innovation – above all else – is the key to solving the climate change
problem. Exelon will continue to seek out new opportunities to put
innovation to work for our climate, our customers and our shareholders.
It’s what we do best.

12

Sustainable communities

Exelon is a valued corporate citizen in the communities we serve. Helping
customers reduce their carbon footprint is an essential part of that role.
ComEd and PECO are helping customers with everything from discounts
on CFL bulbs to energy audits and real time pricing programs.

Exelon also leads by example. We are on pace to surpass the voluntary
eight percent reduction in emissions we set for ourselves back in 2005
under the EPA’s Climate Leader program. We intend to establish even
more aggressive carbon reduction targets for the future. Our recently
renovated headquarters in Chicago is the largest LEED Platinum certified
renovation in the world and has reduced our electricity consumption in
that building by 50 percent. We have done enormous work in restoring
natural habitats on our utility rights of way and around our generation
facilities. We are promoting efficiency in schools throughout our service
communities and we’ve funded and designed the solar-powered Exelon
Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Exelon has been named to the
2007-08 Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for our economic,
social and environmental performance. And for the third consecutive
year, the Carbon Disclosure Project has named us to the Climate
Leadership Index.

15

Sustainable future

Addressing climate change will be the next great global industry. Our
low-carbon strategy is not only good for the planet, it’s good for our 
business. It creates shareholder value by using our resources more 
efficiently, improving our relationship with regulators, responding to
market demands and strengthening public goodwill.

Preparing for the future is also about strong advocacy for the right policy
outcomes. If the country is serious about climate change, nuclear energy
will need to be part of the solution. Exelon will aggressively advocate for
national and regional policies to encourage the continued and extended
operation of existing plants as well as the construction of new plants.

We will also continue to champion mandatory, economy-wide carbon
regulation and competitive markets as the most effective tools to foster
positive action on climate change. And we will continue to improve our
own operations, setting ever more aggressive standards of efficiency for
our customers and ourselves. Through a comprehensive low carbon strategy
and results-driven leadership, Exelon will continue to deliver superior value
to our customers, investors, employees and the communities we serve.

Exelon at a Glance

comed and peco 

Midway through 2007, the political and regulatory environ-
ments in Illinois and Pennsylvania required a change to the
way ComEd and PECO operated. Although a re-organization
left the two companies operating separately, they continue to
learn from each other to improve operations and common
processes within each utility and across the companies in
support of Exelon’s corporate vision.

ComEd
In January 2007, electric rates increased for the first time
since 1997, when residential rates were frozen and
reduced by 20 percent as a result of a state restructuring
law. The rate increase was primarily due to higher energy
costs, which had risen substantially over the past decade.
Six months later, legislation was passed in Illinois that
reflects a settlement agreement between ComEd, Exelon
Generation and other utilities and generators in the state
for a comprehensive, multi-year $1 billion rate-relief package.

ComEd restored power to 630,000 customers in August
following the worst storm in a decade. This series of
storms was the most severe to hit the area since a March
1998 ice storm interrupted service to 865,000 customers.
ComEd crews restored service to 90 percent of affected
customers within 48 hours.

Construction on the West Loop Project - the largest and
most complex project in ComEd’s history - reached the 50
percent completion point in 2007. The 2008 in-service
development, which will feature power lines running
under the Chicago River, is an ambitious effort to improve
reliability by expanding the transmission system in
Chicago’s central business district and transforming it
from a radial to a state-of-the-art network system.

ComEd’s CARE (Customers’ Affordable Reliable Energy)
Discount CFL Bulb Program, which distributed 1 million
CFLs in 2007 to help the U.S. phase out incandescent
bulbs, was the largest privately funded energy efficiency
lighting promotion in the Midwest. This effort will save
about 33 million pounds of carbon dioxide per year that
would have otherwise been emitted by traditional bulbs,
the equivalent annual emissions of about 2,850 cars.

PECO
Throughout much of 2006 and into 2007, PECO’s entire
operation underwent a Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission (PAPUC) management audit. Independent
auditors conducted hundreds of interviews and reviewed
thousands of pages of documents before issuing a favorable
report in August. The auditors noted that they were
impressed with many of the actions that PECO had under-
taken over the last several years, such as automated meter
reading implementation, outsourcing of fleet vehicle
maintenance, and shifting to supplier-owned, just-in-time
inventory and other efficiencies gained in its purchasing
and materials management. PAPUC regulations require a
comprehensive management audit of utilities every five
to eight years.

In April, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable
Energy Laboratory announced that PECO WIND was once
again one of the nation’s top 10 green power programs 
for enrollment.

Another important project implemented in 2007 was an
option that dramatically reduces wait times on the 
telephone for customers who need to speak with a 
customer service representative.

With the onset of cold weather, PECO’s 480,000 natural gas
customers enjoyed a nearly four percent rate cut in supply
charges. In the meantime, PECO’s rates for natural gas 
delivery remained unchanged for the twentieth year in a row.

In 2007, PECO made significant upgrades to its natural gas
delivery system and expanded capacity to serve about
7,000 new customers each year – all without increasing
delivery and service charges, and keeping costs below the
rate of inflation.

By the Numbers
ComEd, with about 5,900 employees, serves approximately
3.8 million electric customers in Chicago and northern
Illinois. PECO and its 2,300 employees serve about 1.6 million
electric customers and approximately 480,000 natural gas
customers in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania.
In 2007, ComEd and PECO collectively distributed more
than 133,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity to customers.
PECO provided more than 86.5 million cubic feet of natural
gas through approximately 12,000 miles of pipelines.

18

exelon generation

Exelon Nuclear
Exelon Nuclear, the nation’s largest operator of commercial
nuclear reactors, continued to perform at world-class 
levels in 2007. Exelon-operating fleet achieved an average
capacity factor of 94.5 percent in 2007, its all-time record
and the fifth consecutive year over 93 percent. During the
summer months, when demand is the highest, Exelon
Nuclear achieved a capacity factor of 97.4 percent.

The company’s 6,700 nuclear professionals implemented
industry-best practices to ensure safe, reliable operation
throughout the fleet.

Exelon Nuclear operates 10 generating stations and 17
reactors in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, which
produced 132.3 million megawatt-hours of electricity in
2007, the highest annual production ever for the Exelon-
operated nuclear fleet. That’s enough electricity to
steadily supply more than 15 million American homes.

The company also announced its intention to file an
application for a combined construction and operating
license for a possible new nuclear plant in Victoria County,
Texas. The application is to be filed with the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission in September 2008, although
Exelon has not decided to build the plant.

Exelon Power

Exelon Power’s fleet of fossil and renewable fuel units in
Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas
provided more than 13.6 million gross megawatt-hours of
reliable generation in 2007. With 105 units at 23 different
sites, Exelon Power can provide more than 7,500 megawatts
of safe, efficient and environmentally responsible base
load, intermediate load, 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

Exelon Power Team is the power marketing division of
Exelon, whose role is to manage the risk and maximize
the economic value associated with Exelon's electric 
generating facilities, power purchase agreements, 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 trading floor and headquarters
are located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Exelon Energy markets electricity and natural gas to retail
customers in the Midwest. Exelon Energy has offices in
Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

exelon business services company

Exelon Business Services Company (EBSC) is a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon Corporation that
serves as a strategic partner to provide quality products
and services at the lowest cost for all Exelon companies.
EBSC practice areas include Communications, Corporate
Governance, Corporate Strategy, Finance, Government &
Environmental Affairs and Public Policy, Human Resources,
IT, Legal, Real Estate, Supply, and Commercial Operations
such as accounts payable, payroll and business planning.

EBSC has approximately 1,600 employees in Northern
Illinois, Pennsylvania and at virtually every Exelon business
location, delivering value by providing cost and operating
efficiencies, high-quality service, and developing enterprise-
wide and organization-specific solutions.

In 2007, EBSC improved its overall performance and service
levels. IT ranked very high for service reliability compared
to industry benchmarks. Legal identified 35 outside firms
as preferred service providers, negotiating significant fee
discounts. A payroll system upgrade completed in 2007,
laid the foundation for a multi-year human resources
technology strategy aimed at improved data sharing and
streamlining processes throughout Exelon.

The company enabled supply chain savings of $70 million,
surpassing its aggressive target for the fourth consecutive
year. Importantly, the Diverse Business Enablement program
directed $475 million of Exelon’s spending on materials and
services to minority- and women-owned businesses.

EBSC supported Exelon’s environmental leadership by
achieving U.S. Green Building Council LEED-CI certification
for Chase Tower in Chicago and achieving its highest LEED
standard of Platinum LEED-CI. Exelon’s space within Chase
Tower is the largest Platinum LEED-CI space in the world.

Net Income. Exelon’s net income for 2007 increased due to the impact of a $776 million impairment charge in 2006 associated

with ComEd’s goodwill; higher average margins on Generation’s wholesale market sales primarily due to the end of the below-

market price power purchase agreement (PPA) with ComEd at the end of 2006; increased nuclear output at Generation

reflecting fewer outage days; increased transmission revenues at ComEd; increased rates for delivery services at ComEd;

favorable weather conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories; increased delivery volume, excluding the effects of

weather, at ComEd and PECO; income associated with the termination of Generation’s PPA with State Line; a favorable PJM

Interconnection, LLC (PJM) billing settlement with PPL Electric (PPL); decreased nuclear refueling outage costs; incremental

storm costs in 2006 associated with storm damage in the PECO service territory; gains realized on decommissioning trust fund

investments related to changes in the investment strategy; favorable income tax benefit associated with Exelon’s method of

capitalizing overhead costs; increased earnings associated with synthetic fuel-producing facilities; the reduction in the reserve

related to the successful Pennsylvania Public Utility Realty Tax Act of March 4, 1971, as amended (PURTA) tax appeal at

PECO; and a charge in 2006 associated with the termination of the proposed merger with Public Service Enterprise Group

Incorporated (PSEG). These increases were partially offset by decreased energy margins at ComEd due to the end of the

regulatory transition period; unrealized mark-to-market losses on contracts not yet settled;

the impact of

the settlement

agreement reached by Generation, ComEd, and other generators and utilities in Illinois (Settlement); a loss associated with

Generation’s tolling agreement with Georgia Power related to the contract with Tenaska Georgia Partners, LP (Tenaska); a

greater reduction in 2006 compared to 2007 in Generation’s nuclear decommissioning obligation related to the AmerGen

Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen) nuclear plants;

the impact of

inflationary cost pressures;

increased pension and

(continued)

non-pension postretirement benefits expense; increased uncollectible accounts expense at ComEd and PECO; incremental

storm costs associated with storm damage in the ComEd service territory; a charitable contribution of $50 million to the Exelon

Foundation; increased amortization expense related to scheduled competitive transition charges (CTC) amortization at PECO;

costs associated with the possible construction of a new nuclear plant in Texas; benefits in 2006 of approximately $288 million

to recover certain costs by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) rate orders; and the impact of favorable tax settlements at

PECO in 2006.

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

resulting from higher volumes of generation sold to the market at higher prices as a result of the expiration of the ComEd PPA at

the end of 2006; income associated with the termination of Generation’s PPA with State Line; the impact of rate changes and

mix at ComEd due to the end of the rate freeze and the implementation of market-based rates for electricity; increased

transmission revenues at ComEd resulting from the 2007 transmission rate case; increased rates for delivery services at

ComEd; favorable weather conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories; higher delivery volumes, excluding the

effects of weather, at ComEd and PECO; and authorized electric generation rate increases under the 1998 restructuring

agreement at PECO. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the Settlement; more non-residential customers at

ComEd electing to purchase electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier; costs associated with ComEd’s

settlement agreement with the City of Chicago; and the expiration of certain wholesale contracts at ComEd.

Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense increased due to higher market energy prices;

unrealized mark-to-market losses on contracts not yet settled; a loss associated with Generation’s tolling agreement with

Georgia Power related to a contract with Tenaska; higher prices for electricity purchased by ComEd; and favorable weather

conditions in the ComEd and PECO service territories. Purchased power represented 20% of Generation’s total supply for 2007

and 2006. The increases in purchase power and fuel expense were partially offset by a favorable PJM billing settlement with

PPL; more non-residential customers at ComEd electing to purchase electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier;

and the expiration of certain wholesale contracts at ComEd. In 2007, as a result of the ICC-approved reverse-auction process,

ComEd began procuring electricity, including ancillary services, under its supplier forward contracts from PJM-administered

wholesale electricity markets.

Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and maintenance expense increased primarily due to increased pension and

non-pension postretirement benefits expense; the impact of inflationary cost pressures; a greater reduction in 2006 compared

to 2007 in Generation’s nuclear decommissioning obligation related to the AmerGen nuclear plants; increased uncollectible

accounts expense at ComEd and PECO; incremental storm costs associated with storm damage in the ComEd service territory;

a charitable contribution of $50 million to the Exelon Foundation; new nuclear site development costs for the evaluation and

development of a new nuclear generating facility in Texas; increased tax consulting fees; and benefits of $201 million recorded

at ComEd in 2006 as a result of the 2006 ICC rate orders. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in nuclear

refueling outage costs associated with the fewer planned refueling outage days during 2007 compared to 2006; incremental

storm costs in 2006 associated with storm damage in the PECO service territory; and a charge recorded in 2006 of

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

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.

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

amortization at PECO and additional plant placed in service across Exelon. These increases were partially offset by lower

amortization related to investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities.

Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other than income increased primarily due to an increase in utility taxes resulting from higher

utility revenues at PECO and the impact of favorable tax settlements at PECO in 2006. These increases were partially offset by

a reduction in the reserve related to the successful PURTA tax appeal at PECO.

Other Income and Deductions. The change in other income and deductions reflects interest income related to the favorable PJM

billing settlement with PPL; a gain related to the sale of

investments by Generation; income and gains associated with

26

EXELON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Discussion of Financial Results – Exelon

(continued)

nuclear decommissioning trust funds, net of other than temporary impairments, primarily associated with changes in Generation’s

investment strategy; benefits of $87 million recorded by ComEd in 2006 as a result of the 2006 ICC rate order; and earnings

associated with investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities.

Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income tax rate was 34.7% for 2007 compared to 43.1% for 2006. The 2007 rate

decreased, as compared with 2006, primarily due to ComEd’s non-deductible goodwill

impairment charge in 2006 which

increased the rate by 9.7% and a decrease of state tax expense in 2007 of 1.5% due to a tax restructuring to allow utilization of

separate company losses for state income tax purposes, partially offset by a reduction in synthetic fuel credits of 1.7% in 2007

caused by an increase in the phase-out due to higher oil prices, and other changes amounting to 1.1%. See Note 12 of the

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2007 Form 10-K for further details of the components of

the effective income tax rates and discussion on the investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities.

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 Energies, Inc (Sithe). In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially all

components of Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC (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 and Enterprises) and

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

Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2007 Form 10-K for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe and certain

Enterprises businesses as discontinued operations.

Net income

Generation’s net income for 2007 compared to 2006 increased primarily due to higher revenue, net of purchased power and

fuel expense, more than offsetting inflationary and other cost pressures, a greater reduction in 2006 compared to 2007 in the

nuclear decommissioning obligation related to the AmerGen nuclear plants and costs associated with the new nuclear plant

Construction and Operating License application. Generation’s revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, increased

due to higher average margins primarily due to the end of the below-market price PPA with ComEd at the end of 2006, the

contractual increase in the prices associated with Generation’s PPA with PECO, the termination of the State Line PPA and a

favorable PJM billing settlement with PPL in 2007, partially offset by amounts incurred in conjunction with the Settlement, net

mark-to-market losses on derivative activities and the execution of the Georgia Power PPA. In addition to these impacts,

Generation’s net income for 2007 included (all after tax) gains of $38 million related to changes in Generation’s investment

strategy with the decommissioning trust fund investments, a gain on the sale of investments of $11 million and earnings of $4

million associated with the settlement of a tax matter related to Generation’s previous investment in Sithe.

As more fully described below, ComEd’s net income (loss) for 2007 compared to 2006 reflected the impact of a goodwill

impairment charge in 2006 partially offset by higher purchased power expense, higher operating and maintenance expense,

and the impacts of the 2006 benefits associated with reversing previously incurred expenses as a result of the July 2006 ICC

rate order. Since January 2007, a substantial portion of ComEd’s revenues represents the recovery of its costs of procuring

energy, which it is allowed to pass-along to its customers without mark-up. While ComEd’s 2007 results reflect an $83 million

annual revenue requirement increase as allowed by the ICC, this revenue requirement increase was based generally on 2004

costs and does not include the impacts of increased operating expenses since 2004 or additional net capital investment since

the end of 2005. ComEd filed a new delivery service rate case with the ICC in October 2007 based on a 2006 test year and also

filed a transmission rate case with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission during the first quarter of 2007. Resolution of the

transmission rate case in 2007 resulted in an increase in first year annual transmission network service revenue requirement of

approximately $93 million. The rate increases were requested to help reduce the regulatory lag related to recovery of ComEd’s

costs and returns on its investments. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s

2007 Form 10-K for further discussion. In 2007, ComEd incurred increased costs associated with transitioning from the rate

freeze period, including implementing the rate relief programs.

PECO’s net income for 2007 compared to 2006 increased primarily due to higher operating revenues net of purchased power and

fuel expense, which reflected increased sales from favorable weather conditions, increased usage across all customer classes for

both electric and gas, the completion of certain authorized rate increases that began in 2006 and the favorable settlement of a PJM

billing dispute, as well as the recognition of income resulting from a reduction in the reserve after the successful PURTA tax appeal.

Partially offsetting these factors was higher scheduled CTC amortization, which was in accordance with the 1998 restructuring

settlement mandated by the Competition Act.

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, 2007. 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, 2007, Exelon’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, has been audited by

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report.

February 7, 2008

Information Derived from 2007 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 71

through 346 of our Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2007. That annual report was filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2008 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 7, 2008 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, 2007 and 2006 and the results of their operations

and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 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, 2007, 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, 2007, 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 page 176 of our 2007 Form 10-K.

Certifications

The CEO of Exelon has made the required annual certifications for 2007 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 2007 Form 10-K.
