In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying   consolidating  and  individual  financial
statements of PECO Energy Power Company  (subsidiary of PECO Energy Company) and
subsidiary  company listed in Item 10 of this Form U5S,  present fairly,  in all
material respects,  the consolidating and individual financial positions of PECO
Energy  Power  Company and  subsidiary  company at December  31,  1998,  and the
results of operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998,
in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management;   our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our  audit.  We  conducted  our audit of these  statements  in  accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in the financial  statements,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our audit  provides a reasonable  basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Significant Accounting Policies:

     CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidating  financial statements include the accounts of PECO Energy
     Power  Company  (Company)  and its  subsidiary,  Susquehanna  Power Company
     (SPCO).  The Company and SPCO  (Companies) are owned by PECO Energy Company
     (Parent  Company),  which  together  with  another  subsidiary  leases  and
     operates the utility plant of the Company and SPCO.

     The  Companies  are joint  holders  of a license  from the  Federal  Energy
     Regulatory Commission (FERC) for Project No. 405 (Conowingo Project).

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
     The annual  provision  for  depreciation  is  provided  over the  estimated
     service lives of plant on the  straight-line  method.  The annual provision
     for financial reporting purposes in 1998, expressed as a percent of average
     depreciable plant in service, was 1.07% for the property of the Company and
     1.51% for the property of SPCO.

     Costs  for  relicensing  the  Conowingo  Hydroelectric  Project  are  being
     amortized over 30 years on the straight-line method.

     INCOME TAXES
     Deferred  federal and state income  taxes are  provided on all  significant
     temporary differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
     transactions  that reflect  taxable  income in a year  different  than book
     income and tax  carryforwards.  Investment tax credits  previously used for
     income tax purposes  have been deferred on the  Consolidated  Balance Sheet
     and are  recognized  in book income over the life of the related  property.
     The Companies file a consolidated federal income tax return with the Parent
     Company and its other subsidiaries.  The provision for federal income taxes
     is  computed  on a separate  return  basis after  giving  consideration  to
     consolidated return savings.

     INTEREST DURING CONSTRUCTION
     Effective  January 1, 1998,  the  Companies  ceased  accruing  AFUDC  under
     Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, "Accounting for
     the   Effects   of   Certain   Types   of    Regulation,"    for   electric
     generation-related  construction  projects. The Companies used SFAS No. 34,
     "Capitalization  of  Interest  Cost," to  calculate  the costs,  during the
     period  of  construction,  of debt  funds  used  to  finance  its  electric
     generation-related construction projects. The Companies recorded additional
     utility plant of $0.5 million in 1998 based on their proportionate share of
     the Parent Company's capitalized interest.
