NOTE A - GENERAL
These footnotes accompany and form an integral part of (i) the interim
consolidated financial statements of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (CEI) and its
subsidiaries, including the regulated utility Consolidated Edison Company of New
York, Inc. (Con Edison), the regulated utility Orange and Rockland Utilities,
Inc. (O&R), which CEI acquired in July 1999, and several non-utility
subsidiaries, (ii) the interim consolidated financial statements of Con Edison
and its subsidiaries, and (iii) the interim consolidated financial statements of
O&R and its subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the
respective opinions of the managements of CEI, Con Edison and O&R, reflect all
adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial
statements should be read together with the audited financial statements
(including the notes thereto) included in the combined CEI and Con Edison Annual
Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the O&R Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
NOTE B - O&R
In July 1999, CEI completed its acquisition of O&R for $791.5 million in cash.
CEI is accounting for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CEI has recorded in its consolidated financial statements all of the assets and
liabilities of O&R. The fair value of O&R's regulatory assets was assumed to
approximate book value. All other assets and liabilities of O&R were adjusted to
their estimated fair values. The approximately $437 million excess of the
purchase price paid by CEI over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired
and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill (CEI's O&R Goodwill) and is
being amortized over 40 years. The effects of purchase accounting have not been
"pushed down" to the separate books and records of O&R, but rather are reflected
only in the consolidated financial statements of CEI. Costs to achieve the
merger have been incurred by both CEI and O&R. In accordance with regulatory
settlements, these costs have been deferred as regulatory assets and are being
amortized over a 5-year period ending May 2004. Such costs may continue to be
incurred for a period of one year following the consummation date of the merger.
The results of operations of O&R for the three months ended September 30, 1999
have been included in the consolidated income statement of CEI for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma consolidated CEI
financial information shown below has been prepared based upon the historical
consolidated income statements of CEI and O&R for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 and the twelve month period ended December 31, 1998, giving
effect to CEI's acquisition of O&R as if it had occurred at the beginning of
each period. The historical information has been adjusted to reflect the
amortization of CEI's O&R Goodwill for the entire period and the after-tax cost
CEI would have incurred for financing the acquisition of O&R by issuing debt at
the beginning of the period at an assumed 7% per annum interest rate. The pro
forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that CEI would
have had if its acquisition of O&R had been completed prior to July 1999,
or the results that CEI will have in the future.

As a result of the July 1999 acquisition of O&R by CEI, O&R recognized
approximately $20.9 million of expenses for contractual termination benefits,
workforce reductions and curtailment losses under employee benefit plans,
including expenses to which Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88
("SFAS No. 88"), "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits", applies. O&R also
incurred $2.4 million of SFAS Nos. 88 and 106 costs in connection with the June
1999 sale of its electric generating assets, which amounts have been reflected
in the in determination of the net gain from the sale of the generating assets.
In addition, O&R paid the buyer $10.0 million with respect to certain pension
and other post employment benefit costs and reduced O&R's pension and other
post-retirement benefit liability by $10.0 million.

NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES
INDIAN POINT
Nuclear generating units similar in design to Con Edison's Indian Point 2 unit
have experienced problems that have required steam generator replacement.
Inspections of the Indian Point 2 steam generators since 1976 have revealed
various problems, some of which appear to have been arrested, but the remaining
service life of the steam generators is uncertain. The projected service life of
the steam generators is reassessed periodically in the light of the inspections
made during scheduled outages of the unit, the next of which is scheduled for
2000. Based on the latest available data and current NRC criteria, Con Edison
estimates that steam generator replacement will not be required before 2002. Con
Edison has replacement steam generators, which are stored at the site.
Replacement of the steam generators would require estimated additional
expenditures of up to $100 million (exclusive of replacement power costs) and an
outage of approximately three months. However, securing necessary permits and
approvals or other factors could require a substantially longer outage if steam
generator replacement is required on short notice.
The Settlement Agreement (described in Note A to the financial statements
included in the combined CEI and Con Edison Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998) does not contemplate the divestiture or transfer
of Indian Point 2. The PSC has, however, initiated a proceeding to consider the
future of nuclear generating facilities in New York State.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
The insurance policies covering Con Edison's nuclear facilities for property
damage, excess property damage, and outage costs permit assessments under
certain conditions to cover insurers' losses. As of September 30, 1999, the
highest amount that could be assessed for losses during the current policy year
under all of the policies was $18.6 million. While assessments may also be made
for losses in certain prior years, neither CEI nor Con Edison is aware of any
losses in such years that it believes are likely to result in an assessment.
Under certain circumstances, in the event of nuclear incidents at facilities
covered by the federal government's third-party liability indemnification
program, Con Edison could be assessed up to $88.1 million per incident, of which
not more than $10 million may be assessed in any one year.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The normal course of operations of certain of CEI's subsidiaries, including Con
Edison and O&R, necessarily involves activities and substances that expose the
subsidiaries to potential liabilities under laws and regulations protecting the
environment. Liabilities under these laws and regulations can be material and in
some instances may be imposed without regard to fault, or may be imposed for
past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they
occurred. Sources of potential environmental liabilities include (but are not
limited to) the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund) and similar state statutes and asbestos.
- 27 -
Superfund. By its terms Superfund imposes joint and several strict liability,
regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for resulting
removal and remedial costs and environmental damages. Con Edison and O&R have
received process or notice concerning possible claims under Superfund or similar
state statutes relating to a number of sites at which it is alleged that
hazardous substances generated by Con Edison and/or O&R (and, in most instances,
a large number of other potentially responsible parties) were deposited.
Estimates of liability for these sites range from extremely preliminary to
highly refined. At September 30, 1999, Con Edison had accrued a liability for
these sites of approximately $$27.6 million and O&R had accrued a liability of
approximately $0.8 million. There will be additional costs in amounts that are
not presently determinable but may be material to the respective financial
position, results of operations or liquidity of CEI, Con Edison and O&R.
Asbestos Claims. Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts
against Con Edison, O&R and many other defendants, wherein a large number of
plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths
and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of Con
Edison and O&R . Many of these suits have been disposed of without any payment
by Con Edison or O&R , or for immaterial amounts. The amounts specified in all
the remaining suits total billions of dollars but CEI, Con Edison and O&R
believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, as were the claims already
disposed of. Based on the information and relevant circumstances known to CEI,
Con Edison and O&R at this time, neither CEI, Con Edison nor O&R believe that
these suits will have a material adverse effect on its respective financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE E - DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
CEI's earnings per share (EPS) calculations are in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share". "Basic" EPS are computed by dividing net income for common
shares by the average number of shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS
are computed by dividing net income for common stock by the total average number
of shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding
stock options (applying the treasury stock method). Options to acquire
approximately 1,261,000 CEI common shares at an exercise price higher than CEI's
market price were excluded for the three, nine and twelve month periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Edison, Inc. (CEI) is a holding company, which operates only
through its subsidiaries and has no material assets other than the stock of its
subsidiaries. CEI's principal subsidiaries are regulated utilities: Consolidated
Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) and Orange and Rockland Utilities,
Inc. (O&R). CEI also has several non-utility subsidiaries. In October 1999, CEI
agreed to acquire Northeast Utilities. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - NU
Merger," below.
The following discussion and analysis relates to the interim consolidated
financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, of (i) CEI and
its subsidiaries (including Con Edison and, from its date of acquisition in July
1999, O&R) and (ii) Con Edison on a stand-alone basis. The O&R Management's
Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations, appearing following Part I,
Item 3 of this report, relates to the interim consolidated financial statements,
included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, of O&R on a stand-alone basis.
References in this report to the "Company" are to CEI and Con Edison,
collectively.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in Item 7 of the combined CEI and Con Edison Annual Reports on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 (File Nos. 1-14514 and 1-1217, the
Form 10-K) and in Part I, Item 2 of the combined CEI and Con Edison Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1999 and June 30,
1999 (the earlier 1999 Form 10-Qs). Reference is also made to the notes to the
financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which notes are
incorporated herein by reference.
The acquisition by CEI of O&R in July 1999 (see "Liquidity and Capital
Resources - O&R Acquisition," below) and sales by Con Edison of approximately
6,300 MW of its approximately 8,300 MW of electric generating assets in June and
August 1999 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - PSC Settlement Agreement,"
below) are reflected in CEI's interim consolidated financial statements, and, in
part, explain variations between balance sheet amounts at September 30, 1999
compared to amounts at December 31, 1998 or September 30, 1998 and variations
between income statement amounts for the 1999 third quarter and the nine and
twelve-month periods ended September 30, 1999 compared to the corresponding
prior year periods. Also impacting reported amounts was the CEI common stock
repurchase program (see Liquidity and Capital Resources," below).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and temporary cash investments for CEI and Con Edison were as follows
at the dates indicated (amounts shown in millions):
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1999 December 31, 1998 September 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CEI $188.9 $102.3 $153.8
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Con Edison $40.9 $30.0 $69.2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No commercial paper was outstanding at September 30, 1999, December 31,
1998 or September 30, 1998. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, Con
Edison used net proceeds from the sale of electric generating assets to repay
its commercial paper, continue the CEI common stock repurchase program
(discussed below) and pay dividends to CEI. CEI used dividends received from Con
Edison to repay the commercial paper issued to initially fund CEI's acquisition
of O&R.
-33-
Pursuant to the $1 billion CEI common stock repurchase program, during the
third quarter of 1999, Con Edison purchased approximately 5.1 million shares of
CEI common stock. From May 1998, when the program began, through September 30,
1999, Con Edison purchased a total of approximately 17.1 million CEI shares at
an aggregate cost of $788.8 million. As of November 12, 1999, Con Edison had
purchased approximately 18.6 million CEI shares at an aggregate cost of $844.8
million.
In May 1999, CEI purchased 432,400 shares of its common stock (at an
aggregate cost of approximately $19.8 million) to be used for exercises of
options under CEI's 1996 Stock Option Plan. At September 30, 1999, approximately
323,700 of these shares remained available for future option exercises. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources of Liquidity - Stock Repurchases" in
Item 7 of the Form 10-K.
In July 1999, Con Edison issued $292.7 million of 35-year adjustable rate
tax-exempt debt, the proceeds of which, along with other Con Edison funds, were
used in August 1999 to redeem $150 million of 7 1/4% Series 1989 C tax-exempt
debt and $150 million of 7 1/2% Series 1990 A tax-exempt debt. In addition, Con
Edison repaid at maturity $150 million of floating rate taxable debentures in
July 1999 and $75 million of 7-year 6.5% debentures in September 1999.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges (for the twelve months ended
on the date indicated) and common equity ratio (as of the date indicated) for
CEI and Con Edison were as follows:
Sept. 30, 1999 December 31, 1998 Sept. 30, 1998
Earnings to fixed charges*:
CEI 4.32 4.29 4.22
Con Edison 4.38 4.36 4.21
Common equity ratio:
CEI 54.8 58.4 58.0
Con Edison 51.4 57.6 57.3
- ----------
* The "earnings" component of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges
includes net income plus federal income tax, federal income tax deferred,
investment tax credits deferred and fixed charges. Fixed charges include
interest on long-term debt and other interest expense, amortization of debt
expense, discount and premium, and the interest component of rentals.
The increase in interest coverage reflects higher pre-tax income and lower
interest expense as a result of debt refundings. The decrease in equity ratio
reflects the CEI common stock repurchase program and, in the case of Con Edison,
dividends of net proceeds of electric generating asset sales to CEI.
The increases at September 30, 1999 in CEI's accounts receivable -
customer, less allowance for uncollectible accounts and CEI's allowance for
uncollectible accounts at September 30, 1999 reflect primarily the O&R
acquisition and increased billings from CEI's non-utility subsidiaries.
-34-
Con Edison's equivalent number of days of revenue outstanding (ENDRO) of
customer accounts receivable was 27.5 days at September 30, 1999, compared with
28.0 days at December 31, 1998 and 26.3 days at September 30, 1998. Prior year
ENDRO amounts have been restated to reflect a new method for calculating ENDRO
that eliminates variations arising from the number of billing and collection
days in each month.
CEI's other receivables were higher at September 30, 1999 than at December
31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, reflecting the acquisition of O&R, increased
billings to other utilities and a New York State sales tax refund.
Materials and supplies decreased at September 30, 1999 compared to
December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, reflecting the sales by Con Edison of
electric generating assets and related inventories.
Prepayments at September 30, 1999 include prepaid property tax of $154.7
million for CEI, including $134.9 million for Con Edison, compared with $21.4
million at December 31, 1998 and $167.0 million at September 30, 1998. Property
taxes are generally prepaid on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The decrease
in prepaid property tax at September 30, 1999 compared to September 30, 1998
reflects sales by Con Edison of electric generating assets. Prepayments at
September 30, 1999 also reflect cumulative credits to pension expense for Con
Edison of $119.7 million, compared with $62.0 million at December 31, 1998 and
$39.5 million at September 30, 1998, resulting primarily from the amortization
of past investment gains. See Note D to the financial statements included in
Item 8 of the Form 10-K.
The increase in CEI's other investments reflects investments made by CEI's
non-utility subsidiaries.
For information about the goodwill recorded by CEI in connection with its
acquisition of O&R, see the notes to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1
of this report.
Recoverable fuel costs reflect the ongoing recovery of previously deferred
amounts and the changes in volumes and unit costs of purchased power, fuel and
gas purchased for resale discussed below in "Results of Operations."
CEI's other deferred charges increased reflecting primarily its acquisition
of O&R.
The regulatory asset for future federal income tax decreased reflecting
primarily the sales by Con Edison of electric generating assets. See Note I to
the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.
Other non-current liabilities include $237.0 million for unfunded other
post-employment benefit (OPEB) obligations ($169.7 million for Con Edison and
$67.3 for O&R) at September 30, 1999, $102.0 million at December 31, 1998 and
$79.9 million at September 30, 1998. The Company's policy is to fund its
estimated OPEB costs to the extent deductible under current tax limitations. See
Note E to the financial statements included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.
The increase in accrued taxes reflects federal income taxes on gains on
sales of electric generating assets. See "PSC Settlement Agreement," below.
-35-
Open Access and the Independent System Operator
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Open Access and
the Independent System Operator" in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. The New York State
Independent System Operator ("NYISO") is scheduled to start operation on
November 18, 1999.
PSC Settlement Agreement
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources--PSC Settlement
Agreement" in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and "Liquidity and Capital Resources--PSC
Settlement Agreement" in Part I, Item 2 of the earlier 1999 Form 10-Qs.
In June and August 1999, Con Edison completed the sales of approximately
6,300 MW of its approximately 8,300 MW of electric generating assets for an
aggregate price of approximately $1.8 billion. Con Edison used net proceeds
received from these sales to pay dividends to CEI, repay commercial paper and
continue the CEI common stock repurchase program.
The approximately 6,300 MW of electric generating assets sold had a net
book value of approximately $940 million, and resulted in net after-tax gains of
approximately $400 million. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended by
the July 1998 divestiture order of the New York Public Service Commission (PSC),
Con Edison has retained for shareholders $50 million of the net after-tax gains
and has applied $50 million of the net after-tax gains from the divestiture to
reduce the net book value of the Indian Point 2 nuclear generating unit (Indian
Point 2). The net gains in excess of $100 million have been deferred for
disposition by the PSC.
Con Edison has entered into contracts ("Transition Contracts") with the
new owners of the generating assets to purchase capacity from them at least
until the NYISO Installed Capacity (ICAP) market is operational and to obtain
associated energy until the commencement of NYISO operations. See "Open Access
and the Independent System Operator," above. Con Edison has submitted a petition
to the PSC relating to the recovery of the difference in the cost of capacity
under the Transition Contracts and the embedded costs of the divested capacity
reflected in Con Edison's electric rates. Con Edison has proposed that any
incremental cost be recovered either as a "cost of implementing divestiture"
(which the Settlement Agreement provides is to be recovered from net divestiture
proceeds) or through Con Edison's electric fuel adjustment clause. Con Edison
estimates that the incremental capacity costs under the Transition Contracts if
the NYISO ICAP market commences operation as now scheduled, in May 2000, would
be about $75 million. In the event of a prolonged delay in the commencement of
the NYISO ICAP market, additional incremental costs could be material.
O&R Acquisition
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources of
Liquidity- Debt Financings - and - Acquisition" in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. In
July 1999, CEI completed its acquisition of O&R for an aggregate purchase price
of $791.5 million. CEI issued commercial paper to initially fund the
acquisition, and repaid the commercial paper using dividends it received from
Con Edison. For information about CEI's accounting for the acquisition, see the
notes to financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report. (Also see the
O&R Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations appearing
following Part I, Item 3 of this report.)
-36-
NU Merger
In October 1999, CEI agreed to acquire Northeast Utilities (NU) for a base
price of $25 per NU common share (subject to adjustment as discussed below),
payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in stock. To effect the acquisition,
CEI will merge into a new parent holding company (New CEI) which was
incorporated in Delaware and is also to be named Consolidated Edison, Inc., and
a subsidiary of New CEI will merge into NU (collectively these mergers are
referred to as the Merger). Upon completion of the Merger, the former holders of
CEI and NU common shares will together own all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of New CEI, and New CEI will in turn own all of the outstanding
common shares of Con Edison, NU (which will continue to own its regulated
utilities and non-utility subsidiaries), O&R and CEI's non-utility subsidiaries.
The price to be paid for each NU common share is subject to adjustment as
follows: (i) $1 per share will be added to the price if prior to the closing of
the Merger NU enters into binding agreements and receives certain regulatory
approvals with respect to the sale of certain nuclear facilities (the
"divestiture condition") and (ii) $0.0034 per share will be added to the price
for each day after August 5, 2000 through the date prior to the closing of the
Merger. The stock consideration (i.e., the number of shares of New CEI common
stock) to be received by NU shareholders in exchange for their NU shares will be
determined by dividing the adjusted price to be paid for each NU share by a
calculated average market price of CEI common shares over a specified period
prior to the closing. The calculated average market price to be used in this
determination is subject to a "price collar" of not more than $46 per share or
less than $36 per share. If the divestiture condition is satisfied following the
completion of the Merger but prior to December 31, 2000, the $1 per NU share
referred to above would be separately paid by New CEI to the former NU
shareholders in cash.
-37-
The aggregate price to be paid to NU shareholders (including the value of
the stock consideration), which is estimated to be not more than $3.8 billion,
will depend upon the adjustments described above and the number of NU common
shares outstanding at the completion of the Merger. It is expected that New CEI
will account for the Merger under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CEI expects that the cash consideration to be paid to the NU shareholders
will be funded from a combination of short-term borrowings, the issuance of new
securities and dividends from subsidiaries.
The Merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of CEI and NU,
federal and state regulatory approvals and certain conditions customary for
transactions of this type. CEI expects to call a special meeting of its
shareholders, to be held in early 2000, to vote on approval of the Merger. CEI
plans to mail a joint proxy statement/prospectus, containing detailed
information about the Merger, to its shareholders after New CEI's registration
statement for the New CEI shares to be issued in connection with the Merger is
filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Nuclear Generation
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources--Nuclear Generation"
in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. In mid-October 1999, Indian Point 2 returned to
service from an unscheduled outage that commenced at the end of August 1999.
Financial Market Risks
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources--Financial Market
Risks" in Item 7 of the Form 10-K. At September 30, 1999 neither the fair value
of derivatives outstanding nor potential derivative losses from reasonably
possible near-term changes in market prices were material to the financial
position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
Environmental Claims and Other Contingencies
Reference is made to the notes to the financial statements in Part I, Item
1 in this report, Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 of this report and to
Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings in the Form 10-K for information concerning
potential liabilities of the Company arising from the Federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), from
claims relating to alleged exposure to asbestos, and from certain other
contingencies to which the Company is subject.
-38-
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
Reference is made to "Liquidity and Capital Resources--Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" in Item 7 of the Form 10-K and in Part I, Item 2 of the earlier 1999
Form 10-Qs. Con Edison has completed its Year 2000 program.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements, which
are statements of future expectation and not facts. Words such as "estimates,"
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans" and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. Actual results or developments might differ
materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of
factors such as competition and industry restructuring, the Merger, changes in
economic conditions, changes in historical weather patterns, changes in laws,
regulations, regulatory policies or public policy doctrines, technological
developments, any failure by Con Edison or others to successfully complete
necessary changes to address Year 2000 problems, and other presently unknown or
unforeseen factors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CEI's net income for common stock for the 1999 third quarter and the nine
and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 1999 was lower than the
corresponding 1998 periods by $11.0 million, $1.9 million and $9.1 million,
respectively. Earnings per share increased $0.01 per share, $0.08 per share and
$0.06 per share, respectively. The increases in earnings per share reflect the
CEI common stock repurchase program (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources,"
above).
The results of operations of CEI include the results of Con Edison, CEI's
non-utility subsidiaries and, starting in July 1999, O&R (see "Liquidity and
Capital Resources - O&R Acquisition," above). Con Edison's earnings for the 1999
periods compared to the 1998 periods were favorably affected by higher electric
sales resulting from the continued strength of the New York City economy, warmer
than normal weather and increased availability of Con Edison's Indian Point 2
nuclear generating unit (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Nuclear
Generation," above). These factors were offset by rate reductions implemented
pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the impact of Hurricane Floyd and its
aftermath and increased electric distribution expenses associated with the very
hot summer weather. Con Edison's earnings also reflect the effects of the sale
by Con Edison of approximately 6,300 MW of its approximately 8,300 MW of
electric generating assets (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - PSC
Settlement Agreement," above).
A comparison of the results of operations of each of CEI, Con Edison and
CEI's non-utility subsidiaries for the 1999 third quarter and the nine and
twelve-month periods ended September 30, 1999 is shown on the tables that
follow. For a comparison of the results of operations of O&R, see the O&R
Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations appearing following

CEI's investment in its non-utility subsidiaries was $268.4 million at
September 30, 1999. For additional information about CEI's non-utility
subsidiaries, see "Non-Utility Subsidiaries" in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.
For information about the operating segments of CEI, see the notes to the
financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Third Quarter 1999 Compared with Third Quarter 1998
The $32.3 million increase in CEI's net revenues (operating revenues less
purchased power, fuel and gas purchased for resale) in the 1999 period compared
to the 1998 period reflects the inclusion of $101.3 million of O&R net revenues
in the 1999 period and a $28.3 million increase in the net revenues of CEI's
non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a $97.3 million decrease in Con
Edison's net revenues.
CEI's non-utility net revenues increased in the 1999 period due primarily
to participation in electric and gas retail access programs.
Con Edison's electric, gas and steam net revenues decreased $95.3 million,
$1.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in the 1999 period compared with
the 1998 period.
Con Edison's electric net revenues in the 1999 period were lower than in
the 1998 period primarily as a result of the rate reductions that went into
effect in April 1999, the third rate year of the PSC Settlement Agreement. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources--PSC Settlement Agreement--Rate Plan" in Item 7
of the Form 10-K.
Con Edison's electric sales, excluding off-system sales, in the 1999
period compared with the 1998 period were:
Millions of Kwhrs.

-42-
Electric sales in Con Edison's service area increased by 7.2 percent in
the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period. The decrease in sales to Con
Edison's full service (supply and delivery) customers in the 1999 period
reflects Con Edison's electric Retail Choice (delivery only) program. See
"Electric Operations-Changes" in Item 1 of the Form 10-K and "PSC Settlement
Agreement," above.
For the 1999 period, Con Edison's firm gas sales and transportation
volumes increased 0.9 percent, and interruptible sales increased 2.8 percent,
compared with the 1998 period. Under the current gas rate agreement, most
weather-related variations in firm gas sales and transportation do not affect
earnings. Transportation of customer-owned gas under Con Edison's gas Retail
Choice program increased significantly during the 1999 period. See "Gas
Operations-Gas Sales" in Item 1 of the Form 10-K. Gas transported for the New
York Power Authority (NYPA) increased significantly in the 1999 period due to
NYPA's use of gas fuel for its generation of electricity.
After adjusting for variations, primarily in weather and billing days in
each period, electric sales volume in Con Edison's service territory increased
3.5 percent in the 1999 period, firm gas sales and transportation volume
increased 0.3 percent and steam sales volume decreased 2.5 percent.
Electric fuel costs decreased in the 1999 period due principally to a
decrease in generation as result of sales by Con Edison of its electric
generating assets. Electric purchased power costs increased in the 1999 period
due to higher purchased volumes and increased unit cost. Electric fuel and
purchased power costs reflect the availability of Indian Point 2 which was in
service for most of the 1999 period but not in service for most of the 1998
period (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Nuclear Generation").
-43-
The cost of gas purchased for resale in the 1999 period increased,
reflecting higher sendout (and for CEI, its acquisition of O&R).
Steam fuel costs increased due to higher unit cost and higher sendout.
Steam purchased power costs also increased due to higher unit cost, partially
offset by lower purchased volumes.
The $52.6 million increase in CEI's other operations and maintenance (O&M)
expenses in the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period reflects the inclusion
of $42.8 million of O&R O&M expenses in the 1999 period and $17.1 million of
increased O&M expenses of CEI's non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a
$4.6 million decrease in Con Edison's O&M expenses. (Amounts exclude $2.7
million of eliminated intercompany expenses attributable to the O&R purchase.)
Con Edison's O&M expenses decreased due primarily to lower expenses at Indian
Point 2 and lower administrative and general expenses, offset partially by the
expenses incurred in responding to Hurricane Floyd and its aftermath and by
increased electric distribution expenses associated with the very hot summer
weather.
CEI's depreciation and amortization increased $4.3 million in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period, reflecting amortization by CEI of $2.7
million of goodwill relating to its acquisition of O&R and inclusion of
approximately $6.7 million of O&R depreciation and amortization in the 1999
period, partially offset by a $5.9 million decrease in Con Edison's depreciation
and amortization as a result of its sales of electric generating assets.
Taxes other than federal income tax decreased in the 1999 period compared
to the 1998 period due principally to lower property taxes, which resulted from
sales by Con Edison of electric generating assets, and lower sales taxes, which
resulted from a New York State tax refund to Con Edison.
Federal income tax decreased in the 1999 period compared to the 1998
period due to lower taxable income, partially offset by lower tax credits.
CEI's net interest charges increased $9.0 million in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period due primarily to interest on commercial paper issued
to initially finance CEI's O&R acquisition.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared with
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998
The $24.5 million increase in CEI's net revenues in the 1999 period
compared with the 1998 period reflects the inclusion of $101.3 million of O&R
net revenues in the 1999 period and $46.0 million of increased net revenues of
CEI's non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a $122.8 million decrease in
Con Edison's net revenues. Con Edison's electric and gas net revenues decreased
$128.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and its steam net revenues
increased $5.3 million, in the 1999 period compared with the 1998 period.
Con Edison's electric net revenues in the 1999 period were lower than in
the corresponding 1998 period primarily as a result of the rate reductions that
went into effect in April 1999 and April 1998, partially offset by higher sales
resulting from continued strength in the New York City economy.
-44-
Con Edison's electric sales, excluding off-system sales, for the 1999
period compared with the 1998 period were:
Millions of Kwhrs.

Electric sales in Con Edison's service area increased by 4.3 percent in
the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period. The decrease in sales to Con
Edison's full service (supply and delivery) customers in the 1999 period
reflects Con Edison's electric Retail Choice (delivery only) program.
For the 1999 period, Con Edison's firm gas sales and transportation
volumes increased 6.2 percent, and interruptible sales decreased 22.5 percent.
Transportation of customer-owned gas under Con Edison's gas Retail Choice
program increased significantly during the 1999 period. Gas transported for NYPA
increased in the 1999 period due to NYPA's use of gas fuel for its generation of
electricity.
Steam sales volume increased 6.2 percent compared with the 1998 period as
a result of somewhat colder weather in 1999 as compared to 1998.
-45-
After adjustment for variations, primarily in weather and billing days in
each period, electric sales volume in Con Edison's service territory in the 1999
period increased 2.7 percent. Similarly adjusted, firm gas sales and
transportation volume increased 1.7 percent and steam sales volume decreased 1.5
percent.
Electric fuel costs decreased in the 1999 period compared to the 1998
period due to a decrease in the unit cost of fuel, partially offset by an
increase in generation. Electric purchased power costs increased in the 1999
period, reflecting increased purchased volumes and higher unit cost of
purchases. Electric fuel and purchased power costs reflect the availability of
Indian Point 2 which was in service for most of the 1999 period but not in
service for most of the 1998 period (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Nuclear Generation," above) and sales by Con Edison of its electric generating
assets.
The $2.1 million increase in CEI's cost of gas purchased for resale in the
1999 period compared to the 1998 period reflects inclusion in the 1999 period of
$5.8 million of O&R cost of gas purchased for resale and a $19.2 million
increase in the cost of gas purchased for resale by CEI's non-utility
subsidiaries, partially offset by a $22.8 million decrease in Con Edison's cost
of gas purchased for resale. The decrease in Con Edison's cost of gas purchased
for resale reflects lower unit cost of purchases, partially offset by higher
sendout. Steam fuel costs increased, reflecting increased generation, partially
offset by lower unit cost. Steam purchased power costs decreased as a result of
decreased purchased volumes and lower unit cost of purchases.
-46-
The $15.8 million increase in CEI's O&M expenses in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period reflects the inclusion in the 1999 period of $42.8
million of O&R O&M expenses and $31.8 million of increased O&M expenses of CEI's
non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a $56.6 million decrease in Con
Edison's O&M expenses. (Amounts exclude $2.2 million of eliminated intercompany
expenses.) Con Edison's O&M expenses decreased due primarily to lower nuclear
expenses and lower administrative and general expenses, offset partially by the
expenses incurred in responding to Hurricane Floyd and its aftermath and by
increased electric distribution expenses associated with the very hot summer
weather.
CEI's depreciation and amortization increased $13.1 million in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period, reflecting amortization by CEI of $2.7
million of goodwill relating to its acquisition of O&R, inclusion of
approximately $6.7 million of O&R depreciation and amortization and a $2.3
increase in Con Edison's depreciation and amortization reflecting principally
higher average plant balances.
Taxes other than federal income tax decreased in the 1999 period compared
to the 1998 period due principally to lower property taxes, which resulted from
sales by Con Edison of electric generating assets, lower sales taxes, which
resulted from a refund received by Con Edison from New York State, and lower
revenue taxes.
Federal income tax increased in the 1999 period compared to the 1998
period due to higher taxable income and lower tax credits.
CEI's net interest charges increased $2.3 million in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period due primarily to interest on commercial paper issued
to initially finance CEI's O&R acquisition, partially offset by a $6.7 million
decrease in Con Edison's net interest charges that resulted primarily from the
refunding of long-tem debt issues.
Twelve Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared with
Twelve Months Ended September 30, 1998
The $59.2 million increase in CEI's net revenues in the 1999 period
compared with the 1998 period reflects the inclusion of $101.3 million of O&R
net revenues in the 1999 period and a $35.3 million increase in the net revenues
of CEI's non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a $77.4 million decrease
in Con Edison's net revenues. Con Edison's electric and steam net revenues
decreased $67.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and its gas net revenues
increased $23.1 million, in the 1999 period compared with the 1998 period. Con
Edison's net revenues in the 1998 period included $25.0 million in net revenues
attributable to the non-utility subsidiaries. No such revenues were included in
the 1999 period because, in connection with the January 1, 1998 establishment of
CEI as the holding company for Con Edison, the non-utility subsidiaries of Con
Edison were transferred to CEI.
Con Edison's electric net revenues in the 1999 period were lower than in
the 1998 period primarily as a result of the rate reductions that went into
effect in April 1999 and April 1998, partially offset by higher sales resulting
from continued strength in the New York City economy and warmer than normal 1999
summer weather.
-47-
The increase in Con Edison's gas net revenues in the 1999 period compared
to the 1998 period reflects principally the lower cost of gas purchased for
resale (see fuel cost discussion, below).
Con Edison's electric sales, excluding off-system sales, for the 1999
period compared with the 1998 period were:
Millions of Kwhrs.

Electric sales in Con Edison's service area increased 3.5 percent in the
1999 period compared to the 1998 period. The decrease in sales to Con Edison's
full service (supply and delivery) customers in the 1999 period reflects Con
Edison's electric Retail Choice (delivery only) program.
-48-
For the 1999 period, firm gas sales and transportation volumes were
unchanged. Interruptible sales decreased 29.6 percent in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period. Transportation of customer-owned gas under Con
Edison's gas Retail Choice program increased significantly during the 1999
period. Gas transported for NYPA increased in the 1999 period due to NYPA's use
of gas fuel for its generation of electricity.
After adjustment for variations, primarily in weather and billing days in
each period, electric sales volume in Con Edison's service territory in the 1999
period increased 2.6 percent. Similarly adjusted, firm gas sales and
transportation volume increased 1.3 percent and steam sales volume decreased 1.3
percent.
Electric fuel costs decreased in the 1999 period compared to the 1998
period due to a decrease in the unit cost of fuel, partially offset by an
increase in generation. Electric purchased power costs increased in the 1999
period, reflecting higher unit cost of purchases, partially offset by decreased
purchased volumes. Electric fuel and purchased power costs in the 1999 period
reflect the availability of Indian Point 2 which was in service for most of the
1999 period but not in service for most of the 1998 period (see "Liquidity and
Capital Resources - Nuclear Generation") and sales by Con Edison of its electric
generating assets.
The $46.8 million decrease in CEI's cost of gas purchased for resale in
the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period reflects a $90 million decrease in
Con Edison's cost of gas purchased for resale, partially offset by the inclusion
of approximately $5.8 million of O&R cost of gas purchased for resale in the
1999 period and an increased cost of gas purchased for resale of $13.1 million
by CEI's non-utility subsidiaries. The decrease in Con Edison's cost of gas
purchased for resale reflects lower sendout and lower unit cost. In the 1998
period, Con Edison's cost of gas purchased for resale included $24.3 million
attributable to the non-utility subsidiaries. Steam fuel costs decreased in the
1999 period due to a lower unit cost of fuel, partially offset by increased
generation of steam by Con Edison. Steam purchased power costs decreased due to
decreased purchased volumes and lower unit cost of purchases.
The $54.1 million increase in CEI's O&M expenses in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period reflects the inclusion of $42.8 million of O&R O&M
expenses in the 1999 period and $40.7 million of increased O&M expenses of CEI's
non-utility subsidiaries, partially offset by a $31 million decrease in Con
Edison's O&M expenses. (Amounts exclude $2.6 million of eliminated intercompany
expenses.) Con Edison's O&M expenses decreased in the 1999 period due primarily
to lower nuclear expenses and lower administrative and general expenses. In the
1998 period, Con Edison's O&M expenses included $4.2 million attributable to the
non-utility subsidiaries.
Depreciation and amortization increased in the 1999 period due principally
to higher average plant balances.
Taxes other than federal income tax decreased in the 1999 period due
principally to lower sales taxes as a result of a refund received by Con Edison
from New York State and lower revenue taxes.
-49-
Federal income tax increased in the 1999 period compared to the 1998
period due to higher taxable income and lower tax credits.
CEI's net interest charges decreased $4.9 million in the 1999 period
compared to the 1998 period due primarily to a $13.9 million decrease in Con
Edison's net interest charges (resulting primarily from the refunding of
long-tem debt issues), partially offset by interest associated with commercial
paper issued to initially finance CEI's O&R acquisition.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For information about the primary market risks associated with the
activities of CEI and Con Edison in derivative financial instruments, other
financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, see "Liquidity and
Capital Resources - Financial Market Risks" in Part 1, Item 2 of this report and
Item 7A of the Form 10-K.
O&R MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
O&R, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEI, meets the conditions specified in
General Instruction H of Form 10-Q and is permitted to use the reduced
disclosure format for wholly-owned subsidiaries of companies, such as CEI, that
are reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly,
this O&R Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations is
included in this report and O&R has omitted from this report the information
called for by Part 1, Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations), Part 1, Item 3 (Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk), Part II, Item 2 (Changes in
Securities and Use of Proceeds), Part II, Item 3 (Defaults Upon Senior
Securities) and Part II, Item 4 (Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders).
O&R's net income for common stock for the third quarter ended September
30, 1999 was $1.3 million higher than the corresponding 1998 period, and for the
nine months and twelve months ended September 30, 1999 was $24.6 million and
$27.8 million, respectively, lower than the corresponding 1998 periods. O&R's
earnings reflect the sale of its electric generating assets, which was completed
in June 1999, and costs relating to its acquisition by CEI, which was completed
in July 1999.
A comparison of the results of operations of O&R for the 1999 third
quarter and the nine and twelve month periods ended September 30, 1999 are shown
on the tables that follow. Starting in July 1999, O&R's results of operations
are included in the results of operations of CEI. See "Results of Operations" in
Part I, Item 2 of this report.

Third Quarter 1999 Compared with Third Quarter 1998
O&R's net operating revenues in the 1999 period were $19.2 million lower
than in the 1998 period, primarily as a result of a $19.7 million decrease in
electric net revenues. This decrease was attributable to rate decreases
implemented in July and August designed to eliminate electric generation
services from base rates in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Gas net
revenues increased by $0.5 million, due to higher firm gas transportation
deliveries for the period.
O&R's total sales of electric energy during the 1999 period increased 5.4%
compared to the 1998 period. This increase was due primarily to warmer weather
and customer growth.
O&R's total sales of gas to customers during the 1999 period decreased
1.3% compared to the 1998 period. The decrease was primarily due to the warmer
weather.
O&R's cost of fuel used in the production of electricity and energy
purchased for resale increased $18.0 million in the 1999 period compared to the
1998 period. This increase was primarily attributable to capacity purchases made
to replace the capacity of the electric generating assets sold in June 1999,
higher customer sales, and increases in the cost of purchased energy.
O&R's cost of gas purchased for resale decreased $0.6 million in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period due primarily to lower firm sales for the
period.
O&R's O&M expenses decreased $6.5 million in the 1999 period compared to
the 1998 period due primarily to the June 1999 sale by O&R of its electric
generating assets.
-52-
O&R's other income, net of interest charges and other deductions,
increased by $2.3 million during the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period due
primarily to interest income earned on proceeds received from the June 1999 sale
of electric generating assets.
O&R had no preferred stock dividend requirements in the 1999 period
because it redeemed all outstanding shares of its preferred stock in April 1999.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared with
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998
O&R's net revenues in the 1999 period were $32.9 million lower than in the
1998 period. Electric net revenues were $37.8 million lower as a result of rate
decreases implemented in July and August designed to eliminate electric
generation services from base rates in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Additionally, O&R recorded revenues subject to refund in June 1999 to reflect
the customers' share of proceeds from the sale of electric generating assets.
Gas net revenues were $4.9 million higher due primarily to higher sales.
O&R's total sales of electric energy during the 1999 period increased 4.0%
compared to the 1998 period. This increase was due primarily to warmer weather
and customer growth.
O&R's total sales of gas to customers during the 1999 period increased
10.7% compared to the 1998 period. The increase in comparison to the prior year
was primarily the result of much warmer than normal weather experienced during
1998. Revenues from O&R's gas sales to retail customers in New York are subject
to a weather normalization clause that substantially eliminates the effect of
weather on O&R's net gas revenues.
-53-
O&R's cost of fuel used in the production of electricity and electricity
purchased for resale increased $16 million in the 1999 period compared to the
1998 period. This increase was primarily attributable to capacity purchases made
to replace the capacity of the electric generating assets sold in June 1999,
higher customer sales, and increases in the cost of purchased energy.
O&R's cost of gas purchased for resale increased $13.3 million in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period due primarily to the higher volume of gas
purchased for resale and increases in the price of gas.
O&M expenses increased $29.6 million in the 1999 period compared to the
1998 period, due primarily to expenses related to the June 1999 sale of O&R's
electric generating assets and the July 1999 acquisition by CEI. Non-recurring
employee severance and pension costs for the period have been offset, in part,
by the elimination of O&M expenses relating to electric generation function
following the sale.
O&R's other income, net of interest charges and other deductions,
increased by $13.3 million during the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period
due primarily to proceeds from the sale of generating assets offset by federal
income tax.
O&R's preferred stock dividend requirements in the 1999 period were lower
than in the 1998 period because it redeemed all outstanding shares of its
preferred stock in April 1999.
-54-
Twelve Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared with
Twelve Months Ended September 30, 1998
O&R's net revenues in the 1999 period were $39.0 million lower than in the
1998 period. Electric net revenues were $41.7 million lower as a result of rate
decreases implemented in July and August designed to eliminate electric
generation services from base rates in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Additionally, O&R recorded revenues subject to refund in June 1999 to reflect
the customers' share of proceeds from the sale of electric generating assets.
Gas net revenues were $2.7 million higher due primarily to higher sales, offset
in part by lower incentive revenues earned for gas line losses.
O&R's total sales of electric energy during the 1999 period increased 3.3%
compared to the 1998 period. This increase was due primarily to warmer weather
and customer growth.
O&R's total sales of gas to customers during the 1999 period increased
0.8% compared to the 1998 period. This increase was due primarily to weather and
customer growth.
O&R's cost of fuel used in the production of electricity and energy
purchased for resale increased $13.5 million in the 1999 period compared to the
1998 period. This increase was primarily attributable to capacity purchases made
to replace the capacity of the electric generating assets sold in June 1999,
higher customer sales, and increases in the cost of purchased energy.
O&R's cost of gas purchased for resale increased $4.7 million in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period due primarily to the higher volume of gas
purchased for resale and increases in the price of gas.
-55-
O&R's O&M expenses increased $34.1 million in the 1999 period compared to
the 1998 period, due primarily to expenses related to the June 1999 sale of
O&R's electric generating assets, the July 1999 acquisition by CEI, and startup
costs associated with O&R's new customer billing system. Non-recurring employee
severance and pension costs for the period have been offset, in part, by the
elimination of O&M expenses relating to electric generation function following
the sale.
O&R's other income, net of interest charges and other deductions,
increased by $13.9 million during the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period,
due primarily to proceeds from the sale of generating assets offset by federal
income tax.
O&R's preferred stock dividend requirements in the 1999 period were lower
than in the 1998 period because it redeemed all outstanding shares of its
preferred stock in April 1999.
