                          Notes to Financial Statements
                        --------------------------------

     Terms and abbreviations appearing in Notes to Financial Statements are
explained in the glossary.

1.   Interim Financial Statements

     Certain information in footnote disclosures, normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
has been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes included in PPL Transition Bond Company,
LLC's Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999. Certain amounts in the December 31, 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation in the June 30, 2000 financial
statements.

2.   Nature of Operations

     The financial statements include the accounts of PPL Transition Bond
Company, LLC (the Company). The Company is a limited liability company
established under the laws of the State of Delaware, and was formed on March 25,
1999 pursuant to a limited liability company agreement. PPL Electric Utilities
is the sole member of the Company.

     The Company was organized for the sole purpose of purchasing and owning
ITP, issuing transition bonds (the Bonds), pledging its interest in ITP and
other collateral to the Trustee under an Indenture between the Company and the
Trustee to collateralize the Bonds, and performing activities that are necessary
to accomplish these purposes. ITP represents the irrevocable right of PPL
Electric Utilities, or its successor or assignee, to collect a non-bypassable
ITC from customers pursuant to the PUC Restructuring Order in accordance with
the Competition Act. The PUC Restructuring Order authorized the ITC to be
sufficient to recover up to $2.85 billion aggregate principal amount of Bonds,
plus an amount sufficient to provide for any credit enhancement, to fund any
reserves and to pay interest, redemption premiums, servicing fees and other
expenses relating to the Bonds.

     The Company's organizational documents require it to operate in a manner so
that its assets would not be consolidated with the bankruptcy estate of PPL
Electric Utilities in the event PPL Electric Utilities becomes subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding. Both PPL Electric Utilities and the Company have treated
the transfer of the ITP to the Company as a sale under applicable law. The Bonds
are treated as debt obligations of the Company. The assets of the Company are
not available to creditors of PPL Electric Utilities or PPL Corporation, and the
ITP is legally not an

                                       4
<PAGE>

asset of PPL Electric Utilities or PPL Corporation. The Company is expected to
terminate its existence after final maturity of the Bonds.

     The Company issued $2.42 billion of Bonds in eight different classes on
August 10, 1999. See Note 4 for additional information.

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management's Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions will affect the reported amount of
revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents do not
include Restricted Funds.

Restricted Funds

     Under the Indenture, the Company deposited an amount equal to 0.5% of the
initial principal amount of the 1999-1 Bonds into the Capital Subaccount with
the Trustee. This amount was contributed by PPL Electric Utilities to the
Company. This account is the last account drawn in the event funds are
insufficient to make scheduled allocations. If the Capital Subaccount is used,
it will be replenished from ITC remittances to its original level through the
periodic reconciliation process. Accordingly, the Capital Subaccount is
classified as "Restricted Funds" on the Balance Sheet.

Amortization of Intangible Transition Property

     The ITP was recorded at the acquired cost and is being amortized over the
life of the Bonds, based on ITC revenues, interest accruals and other fees. The
ITP is solely the property of the Company.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount on Debt

     The costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds have been capitalized
and are being amortized over the life of the Bonds, utilizing the effective
interest method.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Income Taxes

     The Company is a limited liability company and has elected to be
disregarded as a separate entity for federal and state income tax purposes. The
Company's taxable income or loss is included in the consolidated federal and
state income tax returns of its member. The Statement of Operations and Changes
in Member's Equity reflects the Company's pro rata allocation of its member's
consolidated income taxes in accordance with its member's tax sharing policy.

4.   Long-Term Debt and Source of Repayment

     In August 1999, the Company issued $2.42 billion of Series 1999-1 Bonds.
The Bonds consist of eight classes. The Company used the proceeds from the Bonds
to purchase ITP from CEP Securities. The Bonds are collateralized by the ITP and
other assets of the Company.

Scheduled maturities and interest rates for the Bonds at June 30, 2000 are:

</TABLE>

     The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair market value as
of June 30, 2000. The current maturities stated above are based on the expected
final payment dates rather than the final maturity date.

     The source of repayment for the Bonds is the ITC. The Servicer collects
this non-bypassable charge from PPL Electric Utilities' retail consumers of
electricity. The Servicer deposits ITC monthly collections into a General
Subaccount maintained by the Trustee under the Indenture. The monthly ITC
collections from December 1999 through May 2000 were $200 million in aggregate.
Each quarter, such monies are used to make principal and interest payments on
the Bonds, and to pay fees, costs and charges specified in the Indenture. The
Trustee made scheduled payments on March

                                       6
<PAGE>

27 and June 25, 2000. The Indenture also includes a Reserve Subaccount that is
maintained for the purpose of retaining any excess amount of ITC collections and
investment earnings not released to the Company. The Indenture also provides for
an Overcollateralization Subaccount. The funding level of this account is 0.5%
of the initial principal amount of the Series 1999-1 Bonds, funded ratably over
the life of the Bonds. The Company's scheduled Overcollateralization Subaccount
level as of June 30, 2000, was $981,081. Additionally, an amount equal to 0.5%
of the initial principal amount of the Bonds was deposited into the Capital
Subaccount under the Indenture on the date of issuance. If amounts available in
the General, Reserve, and Overcollateralization Subaccounts are not sufficient
on any payment date to make scheduled payments, the Trustee will draw on amounts
in the Capital Subaccount in excess of $100,000. The Trustee was required to
withdraw $8.6 million from the Capital Subaccount on December 27, 1999 and $3.4
million from the Capital Subaccount on March 27, 2000 to help make principal
payments of $29.7 and $60.9 million, respectively. On June 25, 2000, the Trustee
replenished the Capital Subaccount in the amount of $2.8 million. Any remaining
amounts collateralizing the Bonds will be released to the Company upon final
payment on the Bonds.

     At June 30, 2000, the following balances were reflected in the Subaccounts
maintained by the Trustee:

                  Subaccounts                                        Balance

5.   Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions

     Under the Servicing Agreement, PPL Electric Utilities, as Servicer, is
required to manage and administer the ITP of the Company and to collect the ITC
on behalf of the Company. The Company pays an annual servicing fee of $1.25
million to PPL Electric Utilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company expensed servicing fees of approximately $313,000 and other
administrative fees of $25,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 the
Company expensed servicing fees of approximately $626,000 and other
administrative fees of $50,000.

     Debt issuance costs of approximately $16.3 million were incurred in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Of that amount, about $4.9 million
has been incurred by PPL Electric Utilities and has been reimbursed by the
Company.

     At June 30, 2000, the Balance Sheet includes a receivable from PPL Electric
Utilities of approximately $75 million for ITC collections.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations
        ---------------------------------------------

Forward-Looking Information

     Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q concerning expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and
underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of
historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. Although PPL Electric Utilities and the Company believe
that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to have
been correct. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements
should be considered in conjunction with PPL Electric Utilities' and the
Company's other documents on file with the SEC.

     New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not
possible for PPL Electric Utilities or the Company to predict all of such
factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may
cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking
statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
such statement is made, and neither PPL Electric Utilities nor the Company
undertakes any obligation to update the information contained in such statement
to reflect subsequent developments or information.

Results of Operations

     The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company is in an abbreviated format pursuant to Instruction H of Form
10-Q. Such analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
and Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 1 above, and with the section
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     PPL Transition Bond Company, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware limited
liability company organized in March 1999 for the limited purposes of purchasing
ITP and issuing Bonds secured by the ITP. The Company is wholly-owned by PPL
Electric Utilities. The Company's organizational documents require it to operate
in a manner so that its assets would not be

                                       8
<PAGE>

consolidated with the bankruptcy estate of PPL Electric Utilities in the event
PPL Electric Utilities becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the revenue generated from the
ITP was approximately $206 million. The Company also earned approximately
$81,000 in interest from the Capital Subaccount maintained by the Trustee and
temporary investments. Interest expense of approximately $82 million consists of
interest on the Bonds, amortization of debt issuance expenses and the discount
on the Bonds. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company also incurred
administrative and general expenses of approximately $916,000, including
servicing fees of approximately $626,000 and other administrative fees of
$50,000.

     The principal amount of the Bonds, interest, fees, and funding of the
Overcollateralization Subaccount will be recovered through ITC payable by retail
consumers of electricity within PPL Electric Utilities' service territory who
receive electric delivery service from PPL Electric Utilities. As part of PPL
Electric Utilities' responsibility as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement,
PPL Electric Utilities remitted to the Trustee approximately $200 million of ITC
collections for the period December 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000.

     Quarterly payments of Bond principal, interest and all related expenses
were made by the Trustee on March 27, 2000 and June 25, 2000. Due to the manner
in which seasonal customer electricity usage levels were estimated for purpose
of establishing the initial ITC, the Trustee was required to use $4.9 million of
the funds in the Capital Subaccount on March 27, 2000 (including approximately
$1.5 million of excess Bond proceeds transferred to the Capital Account). There
was sufficient revenue to make interest payments due on the quarterly payment
date, March 27, 2000. After application of the remaining $4.9 million in the
Capital Subaccount and unapplied Bond proceeds, the Company had a shortfall of
$1.2 million in the scheduled principal payment on that date (which shortfall
does not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture). On June 25, 2000,
there was sufficient revenue to make the scheduled quarterly principal and
interest payments, to pay the $1.2 million shortfall in the scheduled principal
payment for March 2000, and to replenish the Capital Subaccount in the amount of
$2.8 million.

     The Company currently anticipates that there will be sufficient revenue to
make interest and principal payments due on the next quarterly payment date,
September 25, 2000.

     Under the annual reconciliation process established by the Competition Act
and the PUC Restructuring Order, withdrawals from the Capital Subaccount must be
replenished, and shortfalls in the scheduled principal payments must be made up,
by increases in the ITC. Under the Servicing Agreement, PPL Electric Utilities,
as Servicer, filed a request for an adjustment to the ITC with the PUC on
December 15, 1999 to produce

                                       9
<PAGE>

additional revenues sufficient to replenish the Capital Subaccount and to make
up shortfalls in scheduled principal payments prior to the December 2000
quarterly payment date. This adjustment went into effect on January 1, 2000.
