 Common Stock for securities or assets of another company is pending (other
 than the CEI/NU merger, which has been reflected in the Pro Forma).

Note D.     Merger Consideration

            The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
            statements assume that 50% of the outstanding Northeast common
            shares were exchanged for cash consideration of $26.50 and 50%
            of the outstanding Northeast common shares were exchanged for
            .646 shares of New Con Edison common stock. We have assumed
            that the cash payment to Northeast shareholders will be
            financed through the issuance of long-term debt. The merger
            consideration was determined assuming that the merger would be
            consummated on December 31, 2000, the average trading price of
            Con Edison common shares over the specified period would be
            $41.00 and the value of the fraction of a share of New Con
            Edison common stock delivered to Northeast shareholders would
            remain at $26.50 at the time of delivery. A Con Edison share
            price of $41.00 has been assumed because it represents the
            midpoint of the price collar established for Con Edison's
            share price.

                        Cash payment to Northeast shareholders                                               $1,970,000

Note E.     Income Taxes

                                                                                                               =========

Note F.     Interest Charges

            Reflects $1.970 billion of long-term debt bearing interest
            over one year at an effective interest rate of 8.5% inclusive
            of costs of issuance, the proceeds of which may be used to
            fund the cash consideration to be paid to Northeast shareholders                                  $167,450
                                                                                                              ========

            A 1/8 of 1% variation in the interest rate would result in a $2.5
            million change in interest expense.
