NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

General

These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate consolidated financial statements of each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CECONY). CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, which are presented separately in the CECONY consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Con Edison’s other utility subsidiary, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), Con Edison Transmission, Inc. (Con Edison Transmission) and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to CECONY and O&R.

As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.

The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part I, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiaries, provides electric service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania (see Note P) and gas service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania. Con Edison has the following competitive energy businesses: Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a company which sells to retail customers electricity purchased in wholesale markets (see Note P), enters into related hedging transactions and also provides energy-related products and services to retail customers; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a company that provides energy-related products and services to wholesale customers; and Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops, owns and operates renewable and energy infrastructure projects. In addition, Con Edison has a subsidiary, Con Edison Transmission, that invests in electric transmission facilities through its subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Transmission, LLC (CET Electric), and invests in gas pipeline and storage facilities through its subsidiary Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage, LLC (CET Gas).

Note B — Regulatory Matters

Rate Plans

CECONY - Electric

In May 2016, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) staff submitted testimony in the NYSPSC January 2016 proceeding in which CECONY requested an electric rate increase, effective January 2017. The NYSPSC staff testimony supports an electric rate increase of $45 million reflecting, among other things, an 8.6 percent return on common equity. In June 2016, CECONY filed an update to its January 2016 request. The company increased its requested January 2017 rate increase by $16 million to $498 million, decreased its illustrated January 2018 rate increase by $11 million to $169 million and increased its illustrated January 2019 rate increase by $45 million to $186 million. This updated filing reflects a 9.75 percent return on common equity.

In April 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected CECONY’s challenge to FERC’s approval of substantially increased charges allocated to CECONY for transmission service provided pursuant to the open access tariff of PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM). CECONY will continue to challenge FERC’s approval of the increased charges that will be incurred over the remaining contract term, and in May 2016 filed an appeal of FERC's decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals. In April 2016, CECONY notified PJM that it will not be exercising its option to continue the service beyond April 2017.

CECONY - Gas

In May 2016, the NYSPSC staff submitted testimony in the NYSPSC January 2016 proceeding in which CECONY requested a gas rate increase, effective January 2017. The NYSPSC staff testimony supports a gas rate decrease of $25 million reflecting, among other things, an 8.6 percent return on common equity. In June 2016, CECONY filed an update to its January 2016 request. The company decreased its requested January 2017 rate increase by $29 million to $125 million, increased its illustrated January 2018 rate increase by $13 million to $110 million and decreased its illustrated January 2019 rate increase by $9 million to $100 million. This updated filing reflects a 9.75 percent return on common equity.

Rockland Electric Company (RECO)

In April 2016, RECO filed a request with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for an electric rate increase of $10 million, effective March 2017. The filing reflected a return on common equity of 10.20 percent and a common equity

Table of Contents

ratio of 49.81 percent. In July 2016, RECO filed an update to its April 2016 request. The company decreased its requested March 2017 rate increase by $1 million to $9 million. The updated filing reflects a return on common equity of 10.20 percent and a common equity ratio of 49.71 percent. The filing reflects continuation of provisions pursuant to which the company recovers its purchased power and fuel costs from customers.

Other Regulatory Matters

In April 2016, the NYSPSC approved the September 2015 Joint Proposal among CECONY, the NYSPSC staff and others with respect to the prudence proceeding the NYSPSC commenced in February 2009 and related matters. Pursuant to the Joint Proposal, the company is required to credit $116 million to customers and, for the period 2017 through 2044, to not seek to recover from customers an aggregate $55 million relating to return on its capital expenditures. In addition, the company’s revenues that were made subject to potential refund in this proceeding are no longer subject to refund. At June 30, 2016, the company had a $97 million regulatory liability for the remaining amount to be credited to customers related to this matter.

In June 2014, the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding to investigate the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions on gas facilities. New York State regulations require gas utilities to qualify and, except in certain circumstances, annually requalify workers that perform fusion to join plastic pipe. The NYSPSC directed the New York gas utilities to provide information in this proceeding about their compliance with the qualification and requalification requirements and related matters; their procedures for compliance with all gas safety regulations; and their annual chief executive officer certifications regarding these and other procedures. CECONY’s qualification and requalification procedures had not included certain required testing to evaluate specimen fuses. In addition, CECONY and O&R had not timely requalified certain workers that had been qualified under their respective procedures to perform fusion to join plastic pipe. CECONY and O&R have requalified their workers who perform plastic pipe fusions. In May 2015, the NYSPSC, which indicated that it would address enforcement at a later date, ordered CECONY, O&R and other gas utilities to perform risk assessment and remediation plans, additional leakage surveying and reporting; CECONY to hire an independent statistician to develop a risk assessment and remediation plan; and the gas utilities to implement certain new plastic fusion requirements. In December 2015, the NYSPSC staff informed O&R that the company had satisfactorily completed its risk assessment and remediation plan. CECONY expects to submit its risk assessment and remediation plan to the NYSPSC staff in 2016.

In November 2015, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to show cause why the NYSPSC should not commence proceedings to penalize the company for alleged violations of gas safety regulations identified by the NYSPSC staff in its investigation of a March 2014 explosion and fire and to review the prudence of the company's conduct associated with the incident. See "Manhattan Explosion and Fire" in Note H. In December 2015, the company responded that the NYSPSC should not institute the proceedings and disputed the alleged violations.

At June 30, 2016, CECONY had an $18 million regulatory liability related to the June 2014 plastic fusion proceeding and the November 2015 order to show cause. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to these matters in excess of this regulatory liability.

Note C — Capitalization

In February 2016, a Con Edison Development subsidiary issued $218 million aggregate principal amount of 4.21 percent senior notes, due 2041, secured by the company's Texas Solar 7 solar project.

In May 2016, Con Edison issued approximately 10 million common shares resulting in net proceeds, after issuance expenses, of $702 million, and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00 percent debentures, due 2021. Also, in May 2016, a Con Edison Development subsidiary issued $95 million aggregate principal amount of 4.07 percent senior notes, due 2036, secured by the company's California Holding 3 solar projects. In June 2016, Con Edison borrowed $400 million pursuant to a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks. The borrowing matures in 2018 and bears interest at a LIBOR plus margin of 1.00 percent. In June 2016, CECONY issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of 3.85 percent debentures, due 2046. Also, in June 2016, a Con Edison Solutions subsidiary borrowed $2 million pursuant to a loan agreement with a New Jersey utility. The borrowing matures in 2026, bears interest of 11.18 percent and may be repaid in cash or project Solar Renewable Energy Certificates.

The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were:



(Millions of Dollars)	2016		2015
Long-Term Debt (including current portion)	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Con Edison	$14,493	$16,681	$12,745	$13,856
CECONY	$11,983	$13,917	$11,437	$12,427

Fair values of long-term debt have been estimated primarily using available market information. For Con Edison, $16,045 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2016 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. For CECONY, $13,281 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2016 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively (see Note L). The $636 million of long-term debt classified as Level 3 is CECONY’s tax-exempt, auction-rate securities for which the market is highly illiquid and there is a lack of observable inputs.

Note D — Short-Term Borrowing

At June 30, 2016, Con Edison had $708 million of commercial paper outstanding of which $608 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2016 was 0.7 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At December 31, 2015, Con Edison had $1,529 million of commercial paper outstanding of which $1,033 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2015 was 0.7 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no loans were outstanding under the credit agreement (Credit Agreement) and $2 million (including $2 million for CECONY) and $15 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement, respectively.

Based on estimates as of June 30, 2016, the Companies expect to make contributions to the pension plans during 2016 of $508 million (of which $469 million is to be contributed by CECONY). The Companies’ policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the qualified plan to the extent tax deductible and to also contribute to the non-qualified supplemental plans. During the first six months of 2016, the Companies contributed $307 million to the pension plans, nearly all of which was contributed by CECONY. CECONY also contributed $17 million to its external trust for supplemental plans.

Expected Contributions

Based on estimates as of June 30, 2016, Con Edison expects to make a contribution of $6 million, nearly all of which is for CECONY, to the other postretirement benefit plans in 2016. The Companies' policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the plans to the extent tax deductible.

Note G — Environmental Matters

Superfund Sites

Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.

The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”

For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites.

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:



	Con Edison		CECONY
(Millions of Dollars)	2016	2015	2016	2015
Accrued Liabilities:
Manufactured gas plant sites	$670	$679	$576	$579
Other Superfund Sites	88	86	88	86
Total	$758	$765	$664	$665
Regulatory assets	$837	$904	$732	$800

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available,

Table of Contents

the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. The Companies are unable to estimate the time period over which the remaining accrued liability will be incurred because, among other things, the required remediation has not been determined for some of the sites. Under their current rate plans, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certain site investigation and remediation costs.

Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	Con Edison		CECONY
(Millions of Dollars)	2016	2015	2016	2015
Remediation costs incurred	$9	$8	$3	$7



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	Con Edison		CECONY
(Millions of Dollars)	2016	2015	2016	2015
Remediation costs incurred	$12	$15	$5	$12

No insurance recoveries were received by Con Edison or CECONY for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

In 2015, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other environmental contaminants could range up to $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings

Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities 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 the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. At June 30, 2016, Con Edison and CECONY had accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. The estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Trial courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined by an appellate court may continue, to apply a different standard for determining liability in asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate plans, CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.

The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

Note H — Other Material Contingencies

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

In July 2007, a CECONY steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured. It has been reported that one person died and others were injured as a result of the incident. Several buildings in the area were damaged. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of several buildings and streets for various periods. Approximately eighty suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs to satisfy its liability to others in connection with the suits. In the company’s estimation, there is not a reasonable possibility that an exposure to loss exists for the suits that is materially in excess of the estimated liability accrued. At June 30, 2016, the company has accrued its estimated liability for the suits of $50 million and an insurance receivable in the same amount.

Manhattan Explosion and Fire

On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116^th and 117^th Street in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. Eight people died and more than 50 people were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated. The parties to the investigation included the company, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC (which also conducted an investigation). In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic distribution main) installed by the company that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a City sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, which caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the company that addressed its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for notifications to the City’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. Approximately 70 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss for damages related to the incident. At June 30, 2016, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident.

Other Contingencies

See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B and “Uncertain Tax Positions” in Note I.

Guarantees

Con Edison and its subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison totaled $2,544 million and $2,856 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

A summary, by type and term, of Con Edison’s total guarantees at June 30, 2016 is as follows:

Table of Contents



Guarantee Type	0 – 3 years	4 – 10 years	> 10 years		Total
	(Millions of Dollars)
Con Edison Transmission	$619	$583		$—	$1,202
Energy transactions	672	41	91		804
Renewable electric production projects	443	—	20		463
Other	75	—	—		75
Total	$1,809	$624	$111		$2,544

Con Edison Transmission — Con Edison has guaranteed payment by CET Electric of the contributions CET Electric agreed to make to New York Transco LLC (NY Transco). CET Electric acquired a 45.7 percent interest in NY Transco when it was formed in 2014. NY Transco’s transmission projects are expected to be initially developed by CECONY and other New York transmission owners and then transferred to NY Transco. In May 2016, the transmission owners transferred certain projects to NY Transco, as to which CET Electric made its required contributions. See Note Q. The other projects that were proposed when NY Transco was formed remain subject to certain authorizations from the NYSPSC, the FERC and, as applicable, other federal, state and local agencies. Guarantee amount shown is for the maximum possible required amount of CET Electric’s contributions for these other projects as calculated based on the assumptions that the projects are completed at 175 percent of their estimated costs and NY Transco does not use any debt financing for the projects. Guarantee term shown is assumed as the timing of the contributions is not certain. Also included within the table above is a guarantee for $25 million from Con Edison on behalf of CET Gas in relation to a proposed gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia (see Note Q).

Energy Transactions — Con Edison guarantees payments on behalf of its competitive energy businesses in order to facilitate physical and financial transactions in electricity, gas, pipeline capacity, transportation, oil, renewable energy credits and energy services. To the extent that liabilities exist under the contracts subject to these guarantees, such liabilities are included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet.

Renewable Electric Production Projects — Con Edison, Con Edison Development, and Con Edison Solutions guarantee payments associated with the investment in solar and wind energy facilities on behalf of their wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Other — Other guarantees primarily relate to $70 million in guarantees provided by Con Edison to Travelers Insurance Company for indemnity agreements for surety bonds in connection with energy service projects and operation of solar energy facilities of Con Edison Solutions and Con Edison Development, respectively. In addition, Con Edison issued a guarantee estimated at $5 million to the Public Utility Commission of Texas covering obligations of Con Edison Solutions as a retail electric provider.

In addition to the guarantees included in the table above, in July 2016, Con Edison guaranteed (subject to a $53 million maximum amount) certain obligations of Con Edison Solutions under its agreement to sell the assets of its retail electric supply business to a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation. See Note P.

Note I — Income Tax

Con Edison’s income tax expense increased to $124 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $101 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 35 percent and 32 percent, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Con Edison recorded lower tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, partially offset by increased tax benefits as a result of higher injuries and damages payments and higher renewable energy tax credits.

CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $84 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $101 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. CECONY's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 34 percent and 32 percent, respectively. The increase in CECONY's effective tax rate is primarily related to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, partially offset by increased tax benefits as a result of higher injuries and damages payments.

Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $288 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $300 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 35 percent and 34 percent, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Con Edison recorded income tax benefits for research and development tax credits and higher renewable energy tax credits, which were primarily offset by a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items.

Table of Contents

CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $264 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $293 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. CECONY's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 36 percent and 34 percent, respectively. The increase in CECONY's effective tax rate is primarily related to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items, partially offset by research and development tax credits.

Con Edison anticipates a federal consolidated net operating loss for 2016, primarily due to bonus depreciation. Con Edison expects to carryback a portion of its 2016 net operating loss and recover $10 million of income tax. General business tax credits that became available as a result of the net operating loss carryback, as well as the remaining 2016 net operating loss will be carried forward to future tax years. A deferred tax asset for these tax attribute carryforwards was recorded, and no valuation allowance has been provided, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

Uncertain Tax Positions

At June 30, 2016, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $36 million ($4 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve approximately $27 million ($18 million, net of federal taxes) of its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $4 million ($3 million, net of federal taxes), of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $36 million ($24 million, net of federal taxes).

The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense and no penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

Note J — Financial Information by Business Segment

In 2016, Con Edison Transmission began investing, through CET Electric and CET Gas, in electric transmission and gas pipeline and storage assets (see Note Q). As a result of these investments, Con Edison has changed its business segments to add Con Edison Transmission as a separate reportable segment based on management’s reporting and decision-making, including performance evaluation and resource allocation. For comparison purposes, the previously reported financial information by business segments was reclassified to reflect the current business segment presentation.

The financial data for the business segments are as follows:

Note K — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note L), unless an exception is available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

The fair values of the Companies’ commodity derivatives including the offsetting of assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were:

(a)

Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.

(b)

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, margin deposits for Con Edison ($16 million and $26 million, respectively) and CECONY ($16 million and $26 million, respectively) were classified as derivative assets on the consolidated balance sheet, but not included in the table. Margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument is required to deposit in order to transact on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange.


(c)	Amounts represent derivative assets and liabilities included in assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet (see Note P).

The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the

reporting period in which they occur. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

The following table presents the realized and unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives that have been deferred or recognized in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Table of Contents

The following table presents the hedged volume of Con Edison’s and CECONY’s derivative transactions at June 30, 2016:



	Electric Energy (MWh) (a)(b)	Capacity (MW) (a)	Natural Gas (Dt) (a)(b)	Refined Fuels (gallons)
Con Edison (c)	31,244,951	23,618	39,700,166	3,360,000
CECONY	15,349,625	10,200	38,830,000	3,360,000


(a)	Volumes are reported net of long and short positions, except natural gas collars where the volumes of long positions are reported.


(b)	Excludes electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts, which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.


(c)	Includes 14,519,076 MWh for electric energy, 10,779 MW for capacity and 887,007 Dt for natural gas derivative transactions that are held for sale.

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.

At June 30, 2016, Con Edison and CECONY had $191 million and $21 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $79 million with commodity exchange brokers, $67 million with independent system operators, $35 million with investment-grade counterparties and $10 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $17 million with commodity exchange brokers and $4 million with investment-grade counterparties.

The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the party’s credit ratings.

The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Companies’ derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position, the collateral posted for such positions and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade at June 30, 2016:



(Millions of Dollars)	Con Edison (a)		CECONY (a)
Aggregate fair value – net liabilities	$82		$68
Collateral posted	23		22
Additional collateral (b) (downgrade one level from current ratings)	4		3
Additional collateral (b) (downgrade to below investment grade from current ratings)	99	(c)	76	(c)

(a)

Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post additional collateral of $4 million at June 30, 2016. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.

(b)

The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liabilities position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.


(c)	Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At June 30, 2016, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $20 million.

Note L — Fair Value Measurements

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is

Table of Contents

determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:

•

Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.

•

Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.

•

Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are summarized below.

Table of Contents


(a)	The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(b)

Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas. Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry standard models that incorporate corroborated observable inputs; such as pricing services or prices from similar instruments that trade in liquid markets, time value and volatility factors.

(c)

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations.


(d)	Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the deferred compensation plan and non-qualified retirement plans.


(e)	Amounts represent the impact of legally-enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Companies to net gain and loss positions and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.


(f)	Amounts represent derivative assets and liabilities included in Assets and Liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet (see Note P).

The employees in the Companies’ risk management group develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The risk management group reports to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities regulators. Unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations.

For the competitive energy businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues (immaterial for both periods) and purchased power costs ($5 million gain and $1 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues (immaterial for both periods) and purchased power costs ($2 million loss and $10 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities held at June 30, 2016 and 2015 is included in non-utility revenues (immaterial for both periods) and purchased power costs ($7 million gain and $1 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, the change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities is included in non-utility revenues (immaterial for both periods) and purchased power costs ($3 million gain and $4 million loss) on the consolidated income statement, respectively.

Note M — Variable Interest Entities

Con Edison enters into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with various entities. As a result of these arrangements, Con Edison retains or may retain a variable interest in these entities.

CECONY had a variable interest in a non-consolidated variable interest entity (VIE), Astoria Energy, LLC (Astoria Energy), with which CECONY entered into a long-term electricity purchase agreement that expired in April 2016. CECONY has ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreements with the following two potential VIEs: Cogen Technologies Linden Venture, LP, and Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP. In 2015, requests were made of these two counterparties for information necessary to determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information was not made available. The payments for these contracts constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIEs.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the VIEs in which Con Edison Development has entered into as of June 30, 2016:



Project Name (a)	Generating Capacity (b) (MW AC)	Power Purchase Agreement Term (in Years)	Year of Initial Investment	Location	Maximum Exposure to Loss (Millions of Dollars) (c)
Copper Mountain Solar 3	128	20	2014	Nevada	$184
Panoche Valley	120	20	2015	California	204
Mesquite Solar 1	83	20	2013	Arizona	105
Copper Mountain Solar 2	75	25	2013	Nevada	84

Texas Solar 4	32	25	2014	Texas	15
Pilesgrove (e)	9	n/a (d)	2010	New Jersey	18

(a) With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison’s ownership interest is 50 percent and these projects are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Con Edison is not the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the entities are shared equally between Con Edison Development and third parties. Con Edison’s ownership interest in Texas Solar 4 is 80 percent and is consolidated in the financial statements. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 is held by Con Edison Development. The maximum exposure for Texas Solar 4 is the net assets of the investment offset by an $8 million noncontrolling interest.

(b) Represents Con Edison Development’s ownership interest in the project.

(c) For investments accounted for under the equity method, maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of the investment on the consolidated balance sheet and any related receivables due from the project. For consolidated investments, maximum exposure is equal to the net assets of the investment on the consolidated balance sheet less any applicable noncontrolling interest. Con Edison did not provide any financial or other support during the year that was not previously contractually required.

(d) Pilesgrove has 3-4 year Solar Renewable Energy Credit hedges in place.

(e) Carrying value and maximum exposure reduced by an $8 million impairment charge in June 2016 (included in Investment and other income on Con Edison's consolidated income statement).

Note N — Related Party Transactions

The Utilities perform work and incur expenses on behalf of NY Transco, a company in which CET Electric has a 45.7 percent equity interest (see Note Q). The Utilities bill NY Transco for such work and expenses in accordance with established policies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the amounts billed by CECONY to NY Transco were immaterial.

CECONY has storage and wheeling service contracts with Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach), a joint venture formed by a subsidiary of CET Gas and a subsidiary of Crestwood Equity Partners LP (Crestwood) (see Note Q). In addition, CECONY is the replacement shipper on one of Crestwood’s firm transportation agreements with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC. Since the formation of the joint venture in June 2016, the amount of storage and wheeling services received by CECONY from Stagecoach was $3 million.

CECONY has a financial electric capacity contract with Con Edison Energy for the period May 2016 through April 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Con Edison Energy's realized losses under this contract were immaterial to earnings.

Note O — New Financial Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a revenue recognition standard that will supersede the revenue recognition requirements within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance under the Codification through Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The purpose of the new guidance is to create a consistent framework for revenue recognition. The guidance clarifies how to measure and recognize revenue arising from customer contracts to depict the transfer of goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive. Additionally, in March and April 2016, respectively, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)” to clarify how to apply the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations and ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” to clarify the guidance pertaining to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. Furthermore in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” to clarify assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, non-cash consideration, contract modification at transition, and completed contracts at transition. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods

Table of Contents

beginning after December 15, 2016. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the application and impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments on certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments through ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments require changes to the accounting for equity investments, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, clarification was provided related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for portions of the standard. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amendments on financial reporting of leasing transactions through ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. For income statement purposes, the pattern of expense recognition will be dependent on whether transactions are designated as operating leases or finance leases. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and provide for certain practical expedients. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for Derivatives and Hedging accounting through ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships." The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require discontinuation of the application of hedge accounting. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the guidance for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts through ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives & Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.” An entity performing the assessment under the amendments is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amendments to eliminate the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting when a company increases its level of ownership or degree of influence over an investment through ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting.” This amendment requires that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income at the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. The amendments in this Update are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amendments to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions through ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments simplify areas such as income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Table of Contents

In May 2016, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on revenue recognition and derivatives and hedging through ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (SEC Update).” The amendment rescinds certain SEC guidance superseded by the newly issued revenue recognition and hedging guidance (ASU 2014-09 and 2014-16 respectively). The amendments will be effective upon adoption of the 2014-09 and 2014-16. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the amendments on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In June 2016, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for recognition of credit losses for financial instruments through ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendment replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology which involved delayed recognition of credit losses. As the updated guidance now requires credit losses to be recognized when expected rather than when incurred, a broader range of reasonable and supportable information must be considered in developing the credit loss estimates. This includes financial instruments that are valued at amortized cost and available for sale. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted where entities may adopt earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Note P — Assets Held For Sale

In July 2016, Con Edison Solutions entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its retail electric supply business (including retail contracts, related derivative instruments, information systems, and accounts receivable) to a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation. The company estimates that it will receive proceeds from the sale of approximately $200 million, subject to certain adjustments. The earnings impact of the sale will be determinable at closing when the mark-to-market effects of the derivative instruments being sold are known. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year.

In October 2015, upon evaluating strategic alternatives, O&R entered into an agreement to sell Pike County Light & Power Company (Pike) to Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (Corning) for $16 million, including estimated working capital adjustments. The closing of the sale, which the company expects to occur in 2016, is subject to certain regulatory approvals by the FERC and Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC). In March 2016, FERC approved a proposed electric supply agreement between O&R and Pike. In June 2016, FERC approved a proposed gas supply and gas transportation agreement between O&R and Pike. In June 2016, the administrative law judge presiding over the PAPUC proceeding approved a joint settlement petition submitted by Pike, O&R, Corning and other parties, which is subject to PAPUC approval. In 2015, the company classified the related electric and gas assets and liabilities as held for sale and ceased recording depreciation expense on these assets. At September 30, 2015, O&R recorded an impairment charge of $5 million ($3 million, net of taxes), representing the difference between the carrying amount of Pike’s assets and the estimated sales proceeds. The impairment is reflected in the amount included in assets held for sale on the company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities designated as held for sale were as follows:

The Companies’ results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared with the 2015 periods, reflect the impact of warmer than normal weather on steam revenues, changes in regulatory charges, and higher operations and maintenance expenses for emergency response, municipal infrastructure support, and stock-based compensation. In the six month period, these expenses were offset by lower surcharges for assessments and fees that are collected in revenues from customers at CECONY. In addition, the Utilities' rate plans provide for revenues to cover expected changes in certain operating costs including depreciation, property taxes and other tax matters. The results of operations also include the impairment of a solar electric production investment and the impact of the net mark-to-market effects of the competitive energy businesses.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the estimated effect on earnings per share and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 period as compared with 2015 periods, resulting from these and other major factors:

(a)

Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect the Companies’ results of operations.


(b)	These variations include $12 million or $0.04 a share and $21 million or $0.07 a share related to lower plant related flow-through tax deductions, offset in part by certain tax credits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.


(c)	These variations include the impairment of a solar electric production investment and net mark-to-market effects shown in notes (a) and (b) in the Results of Operations table above.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect principally their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is affected primarily by factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy, economic conditions and measures that promote energy efficiency. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows but generally not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate plans.

Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense and amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 for Con Edison and CECONY were $145 million and $197 million higher, respectively, than in the 2015 period. The change in net cash flows for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily the income taxes paid, net of refunds received in the 2016 period as compared with the 2015 period. The amount and timing of income tax payments and refunds reflect, among other things, the extension of bonus depreciation tax provisions.

The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is reflected within changes to accounts receivable – customers, recoverable energy costs and accounts payable balances.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $1,261 million and $16 million higher, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the 2015 period. The change for Con Edison reflects primarily increased investments in/acquisitions of renewable electric production and electric and gas transmission projects ($998 million), increased utility construction expenditures in 2016 ($170 million) and increased non-utility construction expenditures related to development of renewable electric production projects ($153 million). In addition, the change for CECONY reflects primarily increased utility construction expenditures in 2016 ($160 million), offset in part by the proceeds from the transfer of assets to NY Transco ($122 million).

Cash Flows From/(Used In) Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $1,024 million higher and $230 million lower, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the 2015 period.

In June 2016, Con Edison borrowed $400 million pursuant to a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks. The borrowing matures in 2018 and bears interest at a LIBOR plus margin of 1.00 percent.

In May 2016, Con Edison issued approximately 10 million common shares resulting in net proceeds, after issuance expenses, of $702 million and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00 percent debentures, due 2021, the net proceeds from the sale of which were used in connection with the acquisition by a CET Gas subsidiary of a 50 percent equity interest in a gas pipeline and storage joint venture (see Con Edison Transmission, below) and for general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

In June 2016, CECONY issued $550 million of 3.85 percent 30-year debentures, the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to repay short-term borrowings and for other general corporate purposes.

In June 2016, Con Edison Solutions subsidiary borrowed $2 million pursuant to a loan agreement with a New Jersey utility. The borrowing matures in 2026, bears interest of 11.18 percent and may be repaid in cash or project Solar Renewable Energy Certificates. In May 2016, a Con Edison Development subsidiary issued $95 million aggregate principal amount of 4.07 percent senior notes, due 2036, secured by the company's California Holdings 3 solar project. In February 2016, a Con Edison Development subsidiary issued $218 million aggregate principal amount of 4.21 percent senior notes, due 2041, secured by the company's Texas Solar 7 solar project.

Cash flows used in financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuance. The commercial paper amounts outstanding at June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the average daily balances for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 for Con Edison and CECONY were as follows:

Capital Requirements and Resources

Con Edison has increased its estimates for capital requirements for 2016 from $4,892 million to $6,117 million. The increase reflects the agreement it announced in April 2016 for the $975 million purchase of a 50 percent equity interest in a gas pipeline and storage joint venture. See “Con Edison Transmission,” below. The increase also reflects increased estimates of capital expenditures by its competitive energy businesses from $985 million to $1,235 million to reflect additional renewable energy project development. See "Con Edison Development," below. The company plans to meet its 2016 capital requirements, including for maturing securities, through internally-generated funds and the issuance of securities. The company’s plans include the issuance, which the company completed in May 2016, of approximately $500 million of common equity and approximately $500 million of long-term debt in connection with the purchase of the joint venture interest. In addition, the company’s plans to meet its other 2016 capital requirements include the issuance of between $1,000 million and $1,800 million of long-term debt, most of which would be at the Utilities, $400 million of which was issued by Con Edison and $550 million of which was issued by CECONY in June 2016, respectively; debt secured by its renewable electric production projects at the competitive energy businesses; and approximately $200 million of common equity, which was issued in May 2016, in addition to equity under its dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and long term incentive plans. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources," above.

Con Edison has also increased its estimates of capital expenditures by its competitive energy businesses from $360 million to $400 million for both 2017 and 2018 to reflect additional renewable energy project development.

Investments

The increase in investments for Con Edison reflects the purchase of a 50 percent equity interest in a natural gas pipeline and storage joint venture. See “Con Edison Transmission,” below and Note Q to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Held for Sale

The increase in Con Edison's assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale reflects agreements to sell Con Edison Solutions' retail electric supply business and O&R's subsidiary, Pike. See Note P to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Asset for Unrecognized Pension and Other Postretirement Costs and Liability for Pension and Retiree Benefits

The decrease in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs and the liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2015, in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the year’s amortization of accounting costs. The change in the liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects in part contributions to the plans made by the Utilities in 2016. See Notes B, E and F to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Income Taxes Receivable

The decrease in income taxes receivable for Con Edison reflects primarily the refund received in February 2016 from the Internal Revenue Service as a result of the extension of bonus depreciation in December 2015.

Table of Contents

Deferred Income Taxes and Investment Tax Credits

The increase in the liability for deferred income taxes and investment tax credits for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily the extension of bonus depreciation in 2016, partially offset by the increase in deferred income tax assets associated with the federal tax attribute carryforwards related to the net operating loss and general business tax credits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None of the Companies’ interests in variable interest entities (VIEs) meet the Securities and Exchange Commission definition of off-balance sheet arrangements. For information regarding the Companies’ VIEs, see Note M to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Regulatory Matters

In March 2016, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) issued an order in which it approved CECONY’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plan for the company’s electric and gas delivery businesses, subject to a cap on capital expenditures of $1,285 million. AMI components include smart meters, a communication network, information technology systems and business applications. The plan provides for full deployment of AMI to the company’s customers to be implemented over a six-year period. The NYSPSC directed CECONY to submit a customer engagement plan, an update to the company’s benefit cost analysis and metrics that the NYSPSC can use to monitor the success of the project.

In May 2016, the NYSPSC issued an order in its Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) proceeding adopting a ratemaking and utility revenue framework. The order indicated that utilities will have four ways of achieving earnings: traditional cost-of-service earnings; earnings tied to achievement of alternatives that reduce utility capital spending and provide definitive consumer benefit; earnings from market-facing platform activities; and transitional outcome-based performance measures. The order also indicated, among other things, that existing measures for negative revenue adjustments for utility failure to meet basic service standards should generally be retained and net utility plant reconciliations should be modified to encourage cost-effective distributed energy resources (DER) as an alternative to utility capital investment. The order directs each utility to file a system efficiency proposal; an interconnection survey process and proposed earnings adjustment mechanism; a progress report on aggregated data reporting automation; an aggregated data privacy policy statement; revisions to standby service tariffs and cost allocation matrix; one or more smart home rate demonstration proposals; and revisions to voluntary time of use rates and promotion and education tools.

In June 2016, CECONY and O&R each filed initial distributed system implementation plans with the NYSPSC, pursuant to which the companies provide additional system and planning information for third-party developers to facilitate the integration of DER in the distributed system platform.

In August 2016, the NYSPSC issued an order adopting the New York State Energy Plan’s goal of 50 percent of the State’s electricity to be generated by renewable sources by 2030 as part of a strategy to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030. The NYSPSC also adopted a Clean Energy Standard (CES) that includes renewable energy credit (REC) and zero-emissions credit (ZEC) requirements. Beginning in 2017, load serving entities (LSEs), including CECONY and O&R for their full-service customers, will be required to obtain RECs and ZECs in amounts determined by the NYSPSC. LSEs may satisfy their REC obligation by either purchasing RECs acquired through central procurement by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), by self-supply through direct purchase of tradable RECs, or by making alternative compliance payments. LSEs will purchase ZECs from NYSERDA at prices determined by the NYSPSC. The order establishes an annual NYSPSC staff review and triennial NYSPSC review of the CES.

For certain information about the Utilities' rate plans and other regulatory matters affecting the Companies, see Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison Transmission

CET Electric

In March 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a November 2015 settlement agreement applicable to three transmission projects that the NYSPSC approved in October 2013 in its proceeding to address potential needs that could arise should the Indian Point Energy Center (which is owned by Entergy Corporation subsidiaries) no longer be able to operate. CECONY developed and, in May 2016, transferred two of the projects to New York Transco LLC. See Note Q to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. The settlement agreement, among other things, provides for a 10 percent return on common equity (or 9.5 percent for capital costs in excess of $228 million incurred for initial commercial operation), a maximum common equity ratio of 53 percent and allocation of 63 percent of the costs of the projects to load serving entities in the CECONY and O&R service areas.

CET Gas

In April 2016, a CET Gas subsidiary agreed with a subsidiary of Crestwood Equity Partners LP to form a joint venture to own, operate and further develop a gas pipeline and storage business located in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. In June 2016, the transaction was substantially completed. See Note Q to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and investment risk.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

The Companies’ interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businesses manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at June 30, 2016, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $2 million. Under CECONY’s current gas, steam and electric rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.

Commodity Price Risk

Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note K to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of June 30, 2016, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $68 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $60 million is for CECONY and $8 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts, generating assets and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of the portfolio due to changes in market prices, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their portfolio using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for the portfolio, assuming a one-day holding period, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively, was as follows:



95% Confidence Level, One-Day Holding Period	June 30, 2016	December 31, 2015
	(Millions of Dollars)
Average for the period	$2	$1
High	3	2
Low	1	—

The competitive energy businesses compare the measured VaR results against performance due to actual prices and stress test the portfolio each quarter using an assumed 30 percent price change from forecast. The stress test includes an assessment of the impact of volume changes on the portfolio because the businesses generally commit to sell their customers their actual requirements, an amount which is estimated when the sales commitments are made. The businesses limit the volume of commodity derivative instruments entered into relative to their estimated sale commitments to maintain net market price exposures to their estimated sale commitments within a certain percentage of maximum and minimum exposures.

Credit Risk

Table of Contents

Investment Risk

The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 55 to 65 percent equities and 35 to 45 percent fixed income and other securities. At June 30, 2016, the pension plan investments consisted of 58 percent equity and 42 percent fixed income and other securities.

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. Generally, O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its rate plans.

Material Contingencies

For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see Notes B, G and H to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For information about the Companies’ primary market risks associated with activities in derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, see “Financial and Commodity Market Risks,” in Part I, Item 2 of this report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

The Companies maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that they submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For each of the Companies, its management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on such evaluation, has concluded that the controls and procedures are effective to provide such reasonable assurance. Reasonable assurance is not absolute assurance, however, and there can be no assurance that any design of controls or procedures would be effective under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

There was no change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.
