UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial  information combines
the historical consolidated balance sheets and statements of income of Baltimore
Gas and Electric  Company  (BGE) and Potomac  Electric  Power  Company  (PEPCO),
including  their  respective  subsidiaries,  after giving effect to the proposed
merger (the Merger) of the two companies into Constellation  Energy Corporation.
As  previously  disclosed  by BGE,  the Merger is  expected  to close  after all
necessary regulatory approvals are obtained.  As of the date of this filing, the
Merger has not closed. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheets
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at
December 31, 1995.  The unaudited  pro forma  combined  condensed  statements of
income for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, give
effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at January 1, 1994.  These statements
are prepared on the basis of accounting for the Merger as a pooling of interests
and are based on the assumptions set forth in the notes thereto. The registrant,
Constellation  Energy  Corporation,  was formed  September 22, 1995,  and has no
assets or operations. Therefore, the registrant has no financial statements and,
in turn, there has been no audit of such statements.

     The PEPCO income  statement for the twelve month period ended  December 31,
1995 includes a $110 million  one-time,  non-cash,  after-tax charge to earnings
recorded in the second  quarter of 1995 in  connection  with the plan to sell 13
aircraft owned by its subsidiary,  Potomac Capital  Investment  Corporation,  as
part of the  adoption  of a plan to end  investment  in the  aircraft  equipment
leasing  business.  Income for the twelve  months  ended  December 31, 1995 also
includes a  nonrecurring  charge of $12  million  ($0.11 per share)  relating to
valuation  of two  aircraft  under a master  lease  agreement  which  expired in
September 1995.

     The following pro forma  financial  information has been prepared from, and
should  be read in  conjunction  with,  the  historical  consolidated  financial
statements  and related notes  thereto of BGE and PEPCO,  which are contained in
their respective 1934 Act reports for prior periods.  The following  information
is not  necessarily  indicative of the financial  position or operating  results
that would have occurred had the Merger been consummated on the dates, or at the
beginning of the  periods,  for which the Merger is being given effect nor is it
necessarily indicative of future financial position or operating results.

     The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial  information
of Constellation Energy Corporation is set forth in this Form 8-K:

Balance Sheet as of December  31, 1995

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.The  revenues,  expenses,  assets,  and  liabilities  of PEPCO's  nonregulated
  subsidiaries have been reclassified to conform with the presentation  utilized
  by BGE. The effect of accounting  policy  differences  are immaterial and have
  not been adjusted in the pro forma combined condensed financial statements.

2.Pro forma per common share amounts give effect to the conversion of each share
  of BGE and PEPCO  Common  Stock into 1 share and .997 share,  respectively  of
  Constellation   Energy  Corporation  Common  Stock.  The  pro  forma  combined
  condensed financial statements are presented as if the companies were combined
  during all periods included therein.

3.The allocation between BGE and PEPCO and their customers of the estimated cost
  savings  resulting from the Merger,  net of the costs incurred to achieve such
  savings,  will be subject to  regulatory  review and  approval.  None of these
  estimated  cost  savings,  the costs to achieve such savings,  or  transaction
  costs  have been  reflected  in the pro  forma  combined  condensed  financial
  statements.

4.Intercompany  transactions  between BGE and PEPCO during the periods presented
  were not material  and,  accordingly,  no pro forma  adjustments  were made to
  eliminate such transactions.

5.The  PEPCO  reclassifying   information  reflects  the  reclassifying  entries
  necessary to adjust PEPCO's consolidated balance sheet and statement of income
  presentation to be consistent with the presentation expected to be used by the
  Constellation Energy Corporation.
