                 BGE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - GENERATION
                                 ASSET TRANSFER

BACKGROUND

In  Exhibit  99 to our  Current  Report  on Form 8-K  dated  June 30,  2000,  we
presented pro forma financial  statements for Baltimore Gas and Electric Company
(BGE), a subsidiary of Constellation Energy Group, Inc.  (Constellation Energy).
Effective  July 1, 2000,  BGE  transferred  its  generation  assets and  related
liabilities   to  Calvert  Cliffs   Nuclear  Power  Plant,   Inc.   (CCNPP)  and
Constellation Power Source Generation, Inc. (CPSG), nonregulated subsidiaries of
Constellation  Energy. The pro forma financial statements and description of the
pro forma  adjustments  reflect  these  transfers  and other  financial  impacts
surrounding the deregulation of BGE's electric generation business.

At the time the June 30, 2000 Form 8-K was filed,  BGE's  quarter ended June 30,
2000  results  were not  available.  Accordingly,  we have updated the pro forma
financial  statements  to include our June 30, 2000  results.  In addition,  the
updated  condensed pro forma balance sheet included in this Exhibit reflects the
actual June 30, 2000 book value of the transferred assets and liabilities.

                                        1

DESCRIPTION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following updated  consolidated  financial statements for BGE are filed with
this Exhibit:

o    Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Balance Sheet At June 30, 2000, and
o    Unaudited  Condensed Pro Forma Income Statement for the Year Ended December
     31, 1999 and for the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2000.

The following major  assumptions  were made in preparing these updated pro forma
financial statements:

o    The transfers described above were assumed to occur as of June 30, 2000 for
     the purposes of the condensed pro forma balance sheet.
o    The transfers  described  above were assumed to occur as of January 1, 1999
     for the purposes of the condensed  pro forma income  statement for the year
     ended  December 31, 1999. The transfers were assumed to occur as of January
     1, 2000 for the purposes of the  condensed  pro forma income  statement for
     the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. In viewing these  statements,  it
     should be recognized that weather conditions can have a great impact on our
     results for interim periods. This means that results for interim periods do
     not necessarily represent results to be expected for the year.
o    The  transfer  of the  generating  assets  and  decommissioning  trusts was
     assumed to occur at book value and on a non-taxable basis.
o    The provisions of the Maryland Public Service  Commission's  (Maryland PSC)
     Restructuring Order are assumed to be effective as of the beginning of each
     period presented for the purposes of developing BGE's revenues and electric
     purchased  fuel and energy  expenses  included in the  condensed  pro forma
     income statements.
o    An  effective  tax rate of  approximately  35% was  utilized to develop the
     income  tax  effects  of  adjustments  to the  condensed  pro forma  income
     statement  for the year ended  December 31, 1999.  An effective tax rate of
     approximately  39.55% was utilized for the six-month  period ended June 30,
     2000.   The   difference  in  the  effective  tax  rate  results  from  the
     comprehensive changes in the state and local tax laws that began January 1,
     2000. We discuss these  comprehensive tax law changes in Note 4 of our 1999
     Annual Report on Form 10-K.

These pro forma financial statements have been prepared for comparative purposes
only and do not  purport  to be  indicative  of the  results  of  operations  or
financial  condition  which would have actually  resulted if the transfer of the
generation  assets or other related  transactions  had been made on the dates or
for the periods presented, or which may result in the future. Further, these pro
forma financial statements have been prepared using information available at the
date  of  this  filing.  As a  result,  certain  amounts  indicated  herein  are
preliminary  in nature  and,  therefore,  are  subject to change in the  future.
Please refer to Part II, Item 5 Forward-Looking Statements in this Form 10-Q for
additional factors.

     interchange  and other wholesale sales for the year ended December 31, 1999

     residential rate reduction provided for in the Restructuring  Order for the

     June 30, 2000).
3.   The anticipated  transfer to CCNPP of  approximately  $164 million of BGE's
     revenues that will fund nuclear  decommissioning and stranded costs for the
     year ended  December 31, 1999 ($80 million for the  six-month  period ended
     June 30, 2000).
4.   The reversal of BGE's actual  electric fuel and  purchased  energy costs of
     approximately  $487  million  for the year ended  December  31,  1999 ($244
     million for the six-month  period ended June 30, 2000), and its replacement
     with the estimated  $1,187  million cost of power BGE would have  purchased
     from CPS to meet its system sales load for the year ended December 31, 1999
     ($519  million for the  six-month  period  ended June 30, 2000) at standard
     offer service rates provided for in the Restructuring Order.
5.   The expected elimination of operation and maintenance expenses directly and
     indirectly relating to the generation function for the respective period.

     the six-month period ended June 30, 2000).
7.   The  removal  from  results of the  nonrecurring  impact of $75  million of
     amortization  expense  relating to the $150  million  reduction of electric
     generation  plant under the terms of the  Restructuring  Order for the year
     ended  December 31, 1999 ($75 million for the  six-month  period ended June
     30, 2000).
8.   The estimated reduction to taxes other than income taxes resulting from the
     transfer of the generation function for the respective period.
9.   The reduction to other income associated with the elimination of the equity
     portion of the  allowance  for funds used during  construction  relating to
     generation  construction  projects,  equity in the  earnings of Safe Harbor
     Water   Power   Corporation,   and   after-tax   earnings  on  the  nuclear
     decommissioning trusts.
10.  The  reflection  in other income of  approximately  $22 million of interest
     income expected to be earned on the unsecured promissory notes described in
     this Form 10-Q for the year ended  December  31, 1999 ($11  million for the
     six-month period ended June 30, 2000).
11.  The reduction of fixed charges to approximate  interest expense expected to
     be avoided on transferred tax-exempt debt.
12.  The estimated  income tax effects using the effective  income tax rates for
