                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Plan Administrator of the
       Baltimore Gas and Electric Company
       Employee Savings Plan


     We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for
benefits of the Baltimore Gas and Electric  Company  Employee  Savings Plan (the
Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related  statements of changes in
net assets  available  for  benefits for the years then ended.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December  31,  1996 and 1995,  and the  changes in net assets  available  for
benefits  for the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

     Our  audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules of
assets held for  investment  purposes and reportable  transactions  for the year
ended December 31, 1996 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial  statements but are supplementary
information  required by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974.  The Fund  Information  in the  statements  of net  assets  available  for
benefits and the  statement of changes in net assets  available  for benefits is
presented  for purposes of  additional  analysis  rather than to present the net
assets  available for benefits and changes in net assets  available for benefits
of each  fund.  The  supplemental  schedules  and  Fund  Information  have  been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  the  audits  of the  basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                       BALTIMORE GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
                              EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (the Company), established the Baltimore
Gas and Electric Company Employee Savings Plan (Plan) and Trust Agreement,  with
Bankers Trust Company as trustee on July 1, 1978.  Effective  June 30, 1995, the
Company removed Bankers Trust as trustee under the Trust  Agreement,  terminated
the  Trust   Agreement,   and   discontinued   Bankers  Trust   Company's   Plan
administrative  services.  Effective July 1, 1995, the Company appointed T. Rowe
Price Trust Company (T. Rowe Price) as successor trustee (Trustee). In addition,
TRP  Retirement  Plan  Services,  Inc.,  became the  provider of  administrative
services for the Plan.  Significant  Plan amendments  adopted  effective July 1,
1995  include:  (1)  Expanding  and  changing  the  investment  fund choices for
participant  contributions  to eliminate the Morgan Fund,  which was replaced by
and the  assets  transferred  into,  the T. Rowe Price  Growth  Stock  Fund,  to
eliminate  the Windsor  Fund,  which was replaced by and the assets  transferred
into, the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, to include the Interest  Income Fund
(formerly  the Fixed Rate Fund),  to add three  additional  T. Rowe Price mutual
funds and to retain the BGE Common Stock Fund. Effective March 31, 1995, T. Rowe
Price Stable Asset  Management  Inc. took over management of the Fixed Rate Fund
assets. (2) Monthly valuation was replaced with daily valuation.  As a result of
this  change,   participants  can  request  transfers  among  investment  funds,
withdrawals, distributions, and loans more frequently than once a month. (3) The
number of loans participants may have outstanding at any time was increased from
one to two,  and the loan  interest  rate was changed to the prime rate plus 1%.
(4) The period of time before an employee becomes eligible to make contributions
was reduced from one year to one month (three months in the case of employees of
certain subsidiaries of the Company).

     The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan allows  participants to contribute up to
15% of their eligible pay through regular payroll  deductions,  under a deferred
compensation option and/or a thrift option.  Participant contributions under the
deferred  compensation  option are excluded from current year's taxable  income,
whereas  participant  contributions  under the  thrift  option are  included  in
current year's taxable income. The Company contributes  one-half of the first 6%
of eligible pay contributed by participants.

     The Plan accepts rollovers of employees'  eligible  rollover  distributions
from other qualified plans.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

     There  are  seven   investment   fund  choices   offered  for   participant
contributions:  the BGE Common  Stock Fund,  the  Interest  Income Fund and five
mutual funds.  The Interest Income Fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Stable Asset
Management,  Inc. The mutual funds consist of the T. Rowe Price  Balanced  Fund,
the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund,  the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund,  the
T. Rowe Price  Small Cap Value Fund and the T. Rowe  Price  International  Stock
Fund (mutual funds).  All Company  contributions  are initially  invested by the
Trustee in the BGE Common Stock Fund.

     Participant and Company matching  contributions  are sent, each pay period,
to the Trustee, who invests participant  contributions as designated,  either in
(1) the BGE Common  Stock Fund for the  purchase  (in the open  market) or other
acquisition  (as described in Note 2) of shares of the  Company's  common stock;
(2) the T. Rowe Price  Balanced  Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, the
T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund,  the T. Rowe Price Small Cap Value Fund and the
T. Rowe Price  International  Stock Fund for the purchase of mutual fund shares;
or (3) the Interest Income Fund, as more fully described below.

     Dividends  and  earnings  received  on any  shares  held  in  participants'
accounts,  except for the shares of Company  common stock held in their employee
stock  accounts,  whether in the BGE Common Stock Fund,  or the mutual funds are
automatically  used to  purchase  or  otherwise  acquire  additional  shares for
reinvestment in the corresponding  fund, and all earnings on each  participant's
investment  in the Interest  Income Fund are  automatically  reinvested  in that
fund.

     Dividends   received  on  shares  of  Company   common   stock  held  in  a
participant's   employee   stock   account  are   invested  by  the  Trustee  in
income-producing  investments.  Annually,  a check  is  sent to the  participant
representing the total dividends  credited to the  participant's  employee stock
account.  Any income earned on the  dividends is not paid out  annually,  but is
used to purchase or otherwise acquire  additional shares of Company common stock
for reinvestment in the participant's employee stock account.

     The total  number of common stock or mutual fund shares  purchased  for any
participant depends upon: (1) the participant's  eligible pay; (2) the amount of
the  participant's  eligible  pay that is  contributed;  (3) the  amount of that
contribution  which is designated for investment in the BGE Common Stock Fund or
the mutual funds; (4) the amount of Company matching  contributions  invested in
the BGE Common Stock Fund;  (5) the  reinvested  dividends  and earnings on each
investment fund; and (6) the price of common stock or mutual fund shares, at the
time of purchase, for each investment fund.

     Amounts held in the Interest  Income Fund are invested in contracts  issued
by  insurance  companies  or other  financial  institutions  and in  short  term
investments.  Each contract specifies a fixed or variable rate of interest for a
certain period of time. The interest rate earned by the Interest  Income Fund is
a blend of the rates under the various investments. The

annual effective rates for 1996 and 1995 were 6.25 and 6.23%, respectively.  The
crediting  interest rates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 6.42% and 6.27%,
respectively.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  there were no  investments in the
aggregate  contracts of any issuer which exceeded 5% of net assets available for
benefits in the Interest Income Fund.  Contracts included in the Interest Income
Fund have been reported at their contract value,  which approximates fair market
value.  All the  investments  in this  fund  are held for  purposes  other  than
trading.

     Participants  have the right,  once a month,  to change the amount of their
payroll  deductions.  Participants  also  have the right to  change,  on a daily
basis,  the percentage of their future  contributions  being invested in each of
the seven investment funds as provided in the Plan.

     In  addition,  participants  are allowed to initiate,  on a daily basis,  a
transfer  of the value of their  contributions,  including  earnings,  among the
seven investment funds. Furthermore, as of the beginning of the calendar year in
which participants reach age 56, they may initiate, on a daily basis, a transfer
of the value of their Company contributions and employee stock account among the
seven investment funds.

     Under a loan program, participants may borrow up to one-half of their total
account balance, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000. Participants
may elect up to five  years to repay the loan,  unless  the loan is used for the
purchase  of a  principal  residence,  in which case they may elect up to thirty
years  for  repayment.  Participants  are  allowed  to  have  up  to  two  loans
outstanding  at any time.  Principal  and  interest are repaid  through  regular
payroll  deductions or by direct payment.  The interest rate on amounts borrowed
is set at the time the loan is executed  and remains in effect for the  duration
of the loan.  The interest  rate for loans is equal to the prime rate plus 1% on
the last day of the month preceding the month the loan is initiated.

     The Plan allows participants to postpone, until withdrawal or distribution,
any income tax  liability  on (1) all  Company  contributions;  (2)  participant
contributions under the deferred  compensation option; and (3) earnings on their
contributions and Company  contributions.  Participant  contributions  under the
thrift option are included in current year's taxable income.

     Withdrawals of thrift  contributions and Company  contributions,  including
earnings,  are allowed to be initiated on a daily basis. All contributions  held
in participants accounts are immediately 100% vested. However,  participants who
withdraw unmatured basic  contributions  (contributions of up to the first 6% of
the  participant's  eligible  pay that had not remained in the Plan for two full
calendar years) are suspended from making payroll  contributions to the Plan for
twelve months.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

     Distributions to participants who retire or terminate active employment are
automatically   deferred  until  they  either  reach  age  65  or  cease  active
employment,  whichever  is  later,  unless  they  request  an  earlier  or later
distribution.  Generally, participants who reach age 70 1/2 must begin receiving
their Plan  distribution by April 1 of the following  year,  whether or not they
are actively employed.  Furthermore,  active employees who attain age 59 1/2 may
request  to  receive  a  distribution  of their  deferred  compensation  account
balances.

     The Plan is administered by the Manager,  Staff Services  Department of the
Company,  as Plan  Administrator.  Administrative  fees charged by  institutions
which  issue  contracts  for the  Interest  Income  Fund  are  reflected  in the
effective  rate  earned by the fund.  All other fees and  expenses  of the Plan,
including  those of the Trustee,  are currently  paid by the Company.  Brokerage
fees,  commissions  and transfer taxes  associated  with the purchase,  sale, or
transfer of shares of common stock for the BGE Common Stock Fund and mutual fund
shares for the five mutual funds are borne by those funds.

     Although  it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the  Company  has the
right  under  the  Plan to  discontinue  its  contributions  at any  time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

     On  September  25, 1995,  the Company and Potomac  Electric  Power  Company
(PEPCO)  announced  plans  to merge  into a new  company,  Constellation  Energy
Corporation  (CEC).  If all  conditions  specified in the  Agreement and Plan of
Merger  dated as of  September  22,  1995 among the  Company,  PEPCO and CEC are
satisfied or waived,  the merger will close promptly.  These conditions  include
receipt of all necessary  regulatory  approvals.  For an update on the status of
these regulatory approvals see BGE's latest filing under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. An important  matter to follow in terms of further  developments is
the  request  filed by the  Company and PEPCO for the  Maryland  Public  Service
Commission  to  reconsider  their  order and the  International  Brotherhood  of
Electrical  Workers  appeal of the same  order.  The Company and PEPCO have said
publicly that absent a change in  unacceptable  financial  terms included in the
order, they will not proceed with the merger.

     If the merger  occurs,  the  Baltimore  Gas and Electric  Company  Employee
Savings  Plan and the PEPCO  plans will be  combined  to form the  Constellation
Energy  Retirement  Savings  Plan.  The  proposed  Plan  design has not yet been
finalized, however, the Company has announced that participants will be eligible
to contribute up to 16% of their eligible pay through payroll deductions,  under
a deferred compensation option and/or a thrift option. The Company match will be
75% of the first 6% of pay  contributed.  Participants  will be eligible to make
withdrawals,  and  transfer the value of their  contributions  among the various
investment  options  offered,  and to  initiate  changes  to their  contribution
percentage  and  investment  options  on a daily  basis.  The  number  of  loans
participants may have outstanding at any time will be two.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial  statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
of accounting.

     Shares of common stock for participant  contributions  and Company matching
contributions  currently are purchased for the BGE Common Stock Fund on the open
market,  through new issuances or by other  acquisition.  Mutual fund shares for
the T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds are purchased on the open market, except that the
Trustee  purchases  from time to time a small number of shares at current market
value from participants  making withdrawals or interfund  transfers or obtaining
loans from the Plan.  The cost of shares sold from the BGE Common Stock Fund and
the T.  Rowe  Price  Mutual  Funds,  as a result of  participant  distributions,
withdrawals,  interfund transfers or loans, is determined under the average cost
method.

     Withdrawals and distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

     Leveraging  provisions are included in the Plan, but these  provisions have
not yet been utilized.

     Shares of common  stock in the BGE Common  Stock Fund held by T. Rowe Price
Trust Company  (previously  Bankers Trust Company) are valued as of December 31,
1996 and  1995,  using  the  quoted  closing  market  price as  reported  by the
"NYSE--Composite  Transactions"  published  in the  eastern  edition of The Wall
Street  Journal.  Mutual fund shares held in the T. Rowe Price  Mutual Funds and
the  Vanguard  Mutual  Funds,  are  valued  as of  December  31,  1996  and 1995
respectively,  using the net asset  value  price of such shares as quoted by the
"Mutual Fund Quotations" for such date in the eastern edition of The Wall Street
Journal. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

     The Plan's  investments  are stated at fair  value  except for the  various
contracts issued by insurance companies or other financial  institutions,  under
the  Interest  Income Fund  (previously  the Fixed Rate  Fund),  which are fully
benefit- responsive and are stated at contract value. Contract value is equal to
the aggregate of the net contributions and earnings thereon.

     The Plan presents in the  Statement of Changes in Net Assets  Available for
Benefits  the  net  appreciation   (depreciation)  in  the  fair  value  of  its
investments   which   consists  of  realized  gains  or  losses  and  unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Internal  Revenue  Service,  dated  May 2,  1997,  with  respect  to the Plan as
restated  effective  June 30,  1995,  qualifying  the Plan as a stock bonus plan
under  Section 401 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code (Code) and an employee  stock
ownership plan under Section  4975(e)(7) of the Code and exempting the Plan from
federal income tax under Section 501 of the Code.
