MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER 2009 vs. FIRST QUARTER 2008

OVERVIEW

Discussion of the results of operations is focused on Southern Company’s primary business of electricity sales in the Southeast by the traditional operating companies – Alabama Power, Georgia Power, Gulf Power, and Mississippi Power – and Southern Power. The traditional operating companies are vertically integrated utilities providing electric service in four Southeastern states. Southern Power constructs, acquires, owns, and manages generation assets and sells electricity at market-based rates in the wholesale market. Southern Company’s other business activities include investments in leveraged lease projects, telecommunications, and energy-related services. For additional information on these businesses, see BUSINESS – The Southern Company System – “Traditional Operating Companies,” “Southern Power,” and “Other Businesses” in Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Southern Company continues to focus on several key performance indicators. These indicators include customer satisfaction, plant availability, system reliability, and earnings per share. For additional information on these indicators, see MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – OVERVIEW – “Key Performance Indicators” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

First Quarter 2009 vs. First Quarter 2008
(change in millions)		(% change)
$(233.5)		(65.0)

Southern Company’s first quarter 2009 net income after dividends on preferred and preference stock of subsidiaries was $125.7 million ($0.16 per share) compared to $359.2 million ($0.47 per share) for the first quarter 2008. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of a litigation settlement agreement with MC Asset Recovery, LLC (MC Asset Recovery); a decrease in contributions from market-response rates to large commercial and industrial customers; and higher depreciation and amortization. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 was partially offset by an increase in customer charges at Alabama Power, increased environmental compliance cost recovery revenues at Georgia Power, and lower other operations and maintenance expenses.

THE SOUTHERN COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues associated with changes in rates and pricing increased in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 primarily as a result of an increase in customer charges at Alabama Power and increased environmental compliance cost recovery revenues at Georgia Power in accordance with its 2007 Retail Rate Plan, partially offset by a decrease in contributions from market-response rates to large commercial and industrial customers.

Revenues attributable to changes in sales growth declined in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 due to a 6.3% decrease in weather-adjusted retail KWH sales mainly due to recessionary economic conditions. For the first quarter 2009, weather-adjusted residential KWH sales decreased 0.4%, weather-adjusted commercial KWH sales decreased 1.3%, and weather-adjusted industrial KWH sales decreased 16.9%. Reduced demand in the primary and fabricated metal sectors, as well as in the chemicals, textiles, and transportation sectors, contributed to the decrease in weather-adjusted industrial KWH sales in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008.

Revenues resulting from changes in weather were not material in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 due to near normal weather in both periods.

Fuel and other cost recovery revenues increased $41.5 million in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. Electric rates for the traditional operating companies include provisions to adjust billings for fluctuations in fuel costs, including the energy component of purchased power costs. Under these provisions, fuel revenues generally equal fuel expenses, including the fuel component of purchased power costs, and do not affect net income.

Wholesale Revenues

First Quarter 2009 vs. First Quarter 2008
(change in millions)		(% change)
$(62.3)		(12.1)

In the first quarter 2009, wholesale revenues were $451.4 million compared to $513.7 million for the same period in 2008. Wholesale fuel revenues, which are generally offset by wholesale fuel expenses and do not affect net income, decreased $81.7 million in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. Excluding wholesale fuel revenues, wholesale revenues increased $19.4 million in the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase for the first quarter 2009 was primarily the result of additional revenues associated with Plant Franklin Unit 3 at Southern Power, renegotiated wholesale contracts, and changes in mark-to-market positions on sales of uncontracted generating capacity. Decreases in energy revenues and fewer short-term opportunity sales due to lower energy prices partially offset the first quarter 2009 increase. Short-term opportunity sales are made at market-based rates that generally provide a margin above Southern Company’s variable cost to produce the energy.

Other Electric Revenues

First Quarter 2009 vs. First Quarter 2008
(change in millions)		(% change)
$(7.4)		(5.7)

In the first quarter 2009, other electric revenues were $122.8 million compared to $130.2 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of a $9.5 million decrease in co-generation revenues due to lower natural gas prices and a $6.5 million decrease in transmission revenues. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 was partially offset by an increase in revenues from other energy services of $3.3 million, an increase in customer fees of $2.5 million,

In the first quarter 2009, other revenues were $27.4 million compared to $33.4 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of a $5.7 million decrease in revenues at SouthernLINC Wireless related to lower average revenue per subscriber and fewer subscribers due to increased competition in the industry.

Fuel and Purchased Power Expenses

		First Quarter 2009 vs. First Quarter 2008
		(change in millions)				(% change)
Fuel		$	(45.7	)			(3.1	)
Purchased power			14.7				15.9
Total fuel and purchased power expenses		$	(31.0	)

Fuel and purchased power expenses for the first quarter 2009 were $1.51 billion compared to $1.54 billion for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of a $139.0 million net decrease related to total KWHs generated and purchased, partially offset by a $108.0 million net increase in the average cost of fuel and purchased power, primarily related to a 27.9% increase in the cost of coal per net KWH generated.

Fuel expenses at the traditional operating companies are generally offset by fuel revenues and do not affect net income. See FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “FERC and State PSC Matters – Retail Fuel Cost Recovery” herein for additional information. Fuel expenses incurred under Southern Power’s PPAs are generally the responsibility of the counterparties and do not significantly affect net income.

Details of Southern Company’s cost of generation and purchased power are as follows:

		First Quarter				First Quarter				Percent
Average Cost		2009				2008				Change
		(cents per net KWH)
Fuel			3.40				3.07				10.8
Purchased power			5.09				6.35				(19.8)

Energy purchases will vary depending on demand for energy within the Southern Company service area, the market cost of available energy as compared to the cost of Southern Company system-generated energy, and the availability of Southern Company system generation.

In the first quarter 2009, other operations and maintenance expenses were $871.1 million compared to $896.8 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of a $25.3 million decrease in fossil and hydro expenses mainly due to fewer scheduled and unplanned outages; a $13.3 million decrease in transmission and distribution expenses mainly due to lower maintenance expenses; a $7.1 million decrease in expenses primarily related to lower advertising, litigation, and property insurance costs; and a $4.5 million decrease in expenses primarily related to lower sales volume at SouthernLINC Wireless. The decrease for the first quarter 2009 was partially offset by a $27.1 million increase in administration and general expenses largely related to the voluntary attrition program at Georgia Power under which 579 employees elected to resign their positions effective March 31, 2009. The related charge will be largely offset by lower salary costs for the remainder of the year and is not expected to have a material impact on Southern Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009.

In the first quarter 2009, depreciation and amortization was $389.8 million compared to $343.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of an increase in plant in service related to environmental and transmission projects at Alabama Power and environmental, transmission, and distribution projects at Georgia Power. An increase in depreciation rates at Southern Power also contributed to the first quarter 2009 increase, as well as the completion of Southern Power’s Plant Franklin Unit 3 in June 2008.

In the first quarter 2009, taxes other than income taxes were $199.9 million compared to $189.3 million for the same period in 2008. The increase for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of increases in franchise fees and municipal gross receipt taxes associated with increases in revenues from retail energy sales. Higher ad valorem taxes at Georgia Power also contributed to the first quarter 2009 increase.

The decrease for the first quarter 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of lower pre-tax earnings, partially offset by a decrease in the IRC Section 199 production activities deduction. See Note (H) to the Condensed Financial Statements under “Effective Tax Rate” herein for details regarding the impact of the MC Asset Recovery litigation settlement on the effective tax rate.

FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL

The results of operations discussed above are not necessarily indicative of Southern Company’s future earnings potential. The level of Southern Company’s future earnings depends on numerous factors that affect the opportunities, challenges, and risks of Southern Company’s primary business of selling electricity. These factors include the traditional operating companies’ ability to maintain a constructive regulatory environment that continues to allow for the recovery of all prudently incurred costs during a time of increasing costs. Other major factors include profitability of the competitive wholesale supply business and federal regulatory policy, which may impact Southern Company’s level of participation in this market. Future earnings for the electricity business in the near term will depend, in part, upon maintaining energy sales which is subject to a number of factors. These factors include weather, competition, new energy contracts with neighboring utilities and other wholesale customers, energy conservation practiced by customers, the price of electricity, the price elasticity of demand, and the rate of economic growth or decline in the service area. In addition, the level of future earnings for the wholesale supply business also depends on numerous factors including creditworthiness of customers, total generating capacity available in the Southeast, and the successful remarketing of capacity as current contracts expire. Recent recessionary conditions have negatively impacted sales growth for the traditional operating companies and have negatively impacted wholesale capacity revenues at Southern Power. The current economic recession is expected to continue to have a negative impact on energy sales, particularly to industrial customers. The timing and extent of the economic recovery will impact future earnings. For additional information relating to these issues, see RISK FACTORS in Item 1A and MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K.

Environmental Matters

Compliance costs related to the Clean Air Act and other environmental statutes and regulations could affect earnings if such costs cannot continue to be fully recovered in rates on a timely basis. See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “Environmental Matters” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Environmental Matters” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.

Water Quality

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “Environmental Matters – Environmental Statutes and Regulations – Water Quality” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for additional information regarding the EPA’s regulation of cooling water intake structures. On April 1, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit’s decision with respect to the rule’s use of cost-benefit analysis and held that the EPA could consider costs in arriving at its standards and in providing variances from those standards for existing power plant cooling water intake structures. Other aspects of the court’s decision were not appealed and remain unaffected by the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling. While the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision may ultimately result in greater flexibility for demonstrating compliance with the standards, the full scope of the regulations will depend on subsequent legal proceedings, further rulemaking by the EPA, the results of studies and analyses performed as part of the rules’ implementation, and the actual requirements established by state regulatory agencies and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.

Global Climate Issues

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “Environmental Matters – Global Climate Issues” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for information regarding the potential for legislation and regulation addressing greenhouse gas emissions. On April 17, 2009, the EPA released a proposed finding that certain greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles endanger public health and welfare due to climate change. The ultimate outcome of the proposed endangerment finding cannot be determined at this time and will depend on additional regulatory action and potential legal challenges. However, regulatory decisions that may follow from such a finding could have implications for both new and existing stationary sources, such as power plants. In addition, federal legislative proposals that would impose mandatory requirements related to greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy standards, and energy efficiency standards continue to be actively considered in Congress, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has been identified as a high priority by the current Administration. The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time; however, mandatory restrictions on Southern Company’s greenhouse gas emissions, or requirements relating to renewable energy or energy efficiency, could result in significant additional compliance costs that could affect future unit retirement and replacement decisions and results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition if such costs are not recovered through regulated rates.

FERC and State PSC Matters

Market-Based Rate Authority

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “FERC Matters – Market-Based Rate Authority” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “FERC Matters – Market-Based Rate Authority” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for information regarding market-based rate authority. In October 2008, Southern Company filed with the FERC a revised market-based rate (MBR) tariff and a new cost-based rate (CBR) tariff. The revised MBR tariff provides for a “must offer” energy auction whereby Southern Company offers all of its available energy for sale in a day-ahead auction and an hour-ahead auction with reserve prices not to exceed the CBR tariff price, after considering Southern Company’s native load requirements, reliability obligations, and sales commitments to third parties. All sales under the energy auction would be at market clearing prices established under the auction rules. The new CBR tariff provides for a cost-based price for wholesale sales of less than a year. On March 5, 2009, the FERC accepted Southern Company’s CBR tariff for filing. On March 25, 2009, the FERC accepted Southern Company’s compliance filing related to the MBR tariff and directed Southern Company to commence the energy auction in 30 days. Southern Company commenced the energy auction on April 23, 2009. Implementation of the energy auction in accordance with the MBR tariff order is expected to adequately mitigate going forward any presumption of market power that Southern Company may have in the Southern

Company retail service territory. The original generation dominance proceeding initiated by the FERC in December 2004 remains pending before the FERC. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

Retail Fuel Cost Recovery

The traditional operating companies each have established fuel cost recovery rates approved by their respective state PSCs. Over the past several years, the traditional operating companies have experienced higher than expected fuel costs for coal, natural gas, and uranium. These higher fuel costs have resulted in under recovered fuel costs included in the balance sheets of approximately $1.0 billion at March 31, 2009 as compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008. Operating revenues are adjusted for differences in actual recoverable fuel costs and amounts billed in current regulated rates. Accordingly, changes to the billing factors will have no significant effect on Southern Company’s revenues or net income but will affect cash flow. The traditional operating companies continuously monitor the under recovered fuel cost balance in light of these higher fuel costs. See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “PSC Matters – Fuel Cost Recovery” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Alabama Power Retail Regulatory Matters,” “Georgia Power Retail Regulatory Matters,” and “Gulf Power Retail Regulatory Matters” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.

On March 10, 2009, the Georgia PSC granted Georgia Power’s request to delay its fuel case filing until September 4, 2009. The extension was requested as a result of difficulty in establishing a forward-looking fuel rate due to volatile coal and gas prices, uncertain sales forecasts, and a continuing decline in the State of Georgia’s economy. New fuel rates are expected to become effective January 1, 2010. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot now be determined.

Income Tax Matters

Legislation

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Major tax incentives in the ARRA include an extension of bonus depreciation and multiple renewable energy incentives, which could have a significant impact on the future cash flow and net income of Southern Company. Southern Company estimates the cash flow reduction to 2009 tax payments as a result of the bonus depreciation provisions of the ARRA to be between approximately $225 million and $275 million. Southern Company is currently assessing the other financial implications of the ARRA. The ultimate impact cannot be determined at this time.

Construction Projects

Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “Construction Projects – Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for information regarding the Kemper IGCC.

On April 6, 2009, the Governor of the State of Mississippi signed into law a bill that will provide an ad valorem tax exemption for a portion of the assessed value of all property utilized in certain electric generating facilities with integrated gasification process facilities. This tax exemption, which may not exceed 50% of the total value of the project, is for projects with a capital investment from private sources of $1 billion or more.

On April 6, 2009, Mississippi Power received an accounting order from the Mississippi PSC directing Mississippi Power to continue to charge all Kemper IGCC generation resources planning, evaluation, and

screening costs to regulatory assets including those costs associated with activities to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity and costs necessary and prudent to preserve the availability, economic viability, and/or required schedule of the selected generation resource until the Mississippi PSC makes findings and determination as to the recovery of Mississippi Power’s prudent expenditures.

As of March 31, 2009, Mississippi Power had spent a total of $50.7 million associated with Mississippi Power’s generation resource planning, evaluation, and screening activities, including regulatory filings costs. Costs incurred during the first quarter 2009 totaled $8.4 million as compared to $7.2 million during the first quarter 2008. Of the total $50.7 million, $46.2 million was deferred in other regulatory assets, $3.7 million was related to land purchases capitalized, and $0.8 million was previously expensed.

Several motions have been filed by intervenors in this proceeding, most of which are procedural in nature and seek to stay or delay the timely and orderly administration of the docket. In addition to these procedural motions, a motion has been filed by the Attorney General for the State of Mississippi which questions whether the Mississippi PSC has authority to approve the gasification portion of the Kemper IGCC. All of these motions were heard by the Mississippi PSC on May 5, 2009.

The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot now be determined.

Nuclear

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FUTURE EARNINGS POTENTIAL – “Construction Projects – Nuclear” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Nuclear” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for information regarding the potential expansion of Plant Vogtle.

On March 17, 2009, the Georgia PSC voted to certify construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 at an in-service cost of $6.4 billion. In addition, the Georgia PSC voted to approve inclusion of the related construction work in progress accounts in rate base and to recover financing costs during the construction period beginning in 2011.

On April 21, 2009, the Governor of the State of Georgia signed into law The Georgia Nuclear Energy Financing Act that will allow Georgia Power to recover financing costs for nuclear construction projects by including the related construction work in progress accounts in rate base during the construction period. The cost recovery provisions will become effective January 1, 2011.

Other Matters

Southern Company is involved in various other matters being litigated, regulatory matters, and certain tax-related issues that could affect future earnings. In addition, Southern Company is subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Southern Company’s business activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation related to public health and the environment. Litigation over environmental issues and claims of various types, including property damage, personal injury, common law nuisance, and
citizen enforcement of environmental requirements such as opacity and air and water quality standards, has increased generally throughout the United States. In particular, personal injury claims for damages caused by alleged exposure to hazardous materials have become more frequent. The ultimate outcome of such pending or potential litigation against Southern Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted at this time; however, for current proceedings not specifically reported herein or in Note 3 to the financial statements of Southern Company in Item 8 of the Form 10-K, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such current proceedings would have a material adverse effect on Southern Company’s financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Southern Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements of Southern Company in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. In the application of these policies, certain estimates are made that may have a material impact on Southern Company’s results of operations and related disclosures. Different assumptions and measurements could produce estimates that are significantly different from those recorded in the financial statements. See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – ACCOUNTING POLICIES – “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for a complete discussion of Southern Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates related to Electric Utility Regulation, Contingent Obligations, and Unbilled Revenues.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

Southern Company’s financial condition remained stable at March 31, 2009. Throughout the recent turmoil in the financial markets, Southern Company has maintained adequate access to capital without drawing on any of its committed bank credit arrangements used to support its commercial paper programs and variable rate pollution control revenue bonds. Southern Company and the other registrants have continued to issue commercial paper at reasonable rates. Southern Company intends to continue to monitor its access to short-term and long-term capital markets as well as its bank credit arrangements to meet future capital and liquidity needs. Market rates for committed credit have increased, and Southern Company and its subsidiaries have been and expect to continue to be subject to higher costs as existing facilities are replaced or renewed. Of the $215 million of facilities expiring in the first quarter 2009, $160 million of them were replaced or renewed. In addition, Gulf Power entered into a $20 million facility and Mississippi Power increased an existing facility by $10 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, Georgia Power, Gulf Power, and Mississippi Power entered into new credit arrangements resulting in a net increase of $425 million, $75 million, and $40 million, respectively. These additional facilities all expire in 2010. Total committed credit fees at Southern Company and its subsidiaries average less than ¹/4 of 1% per year. Southern Company’s interest cost for short-term debt has decreased as market short-term interest rates have declined from 2008 levels. The ultimate impact on future financing costs as a result of the financial turmoil cannot be determined at this time. Southern Company experienced no material counterparty credit losses as a result of the turmoil in the financial markets. See “Sources of Capital” and “Financing Activities” herein for additional information.

Southern Company’s investments in pension and nuclear decommissioning trust funds have continued to decline in value during the first quarter 2009. Southern Company expects that the earliest that cash may have to be contributed to the pension trust fund is 2011 and such contribution could be significant; however, projections of the amount vary significantly depending on interpretations of and decisions related to federal legislation passed during 2008 as well as other key variables including future trust fund performance and cannot be determined at this time. Southern Company does not expect any changes to funding obligations to the nuclear decommissioning trusts prior to 2011.

THE SOUTHERN COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net cash provided from operating activities totaled $401 million for the first quarter 2009, a decrease of $136 million from the same period in 2008. Significant changes in operating cash flow for the first quarter 2009 as compared to the prior period include increases in the use of funds for federal tax and property tax payments of $199 million and fuel purchases of $108 million. These uses of funds were partially offset by increased cash inflows as a result of higher fuel rates included in customer billings. Net cash used for investing activities totaled $1.12 billion for the first quarter 2009, an increase of $127 million over the prior period, primarily due to property additions to utility plant. For the first quarter 2009, net cash provided from financing activities totaled $976 million compared to $506 million for the first quarter 2008. The $470 million increase is primarily due to higher levels of short-term borrowings and the issuance of new long-term debt.

Significant balance sheet changes for the first quarter 2009 include an increase of $256 million in cash and cash equivalents primarily due to an increase in temporary cash investments and an increase of $889 million in total property, plant, and equipment for the installation of equipment to comply with environmental standards, construction of generation, transmission and distribution facilities, and purchases of nuclear fuel. Other significant changes include an increase in long-term debt, excluding amounts due within one year, of $990 million used primarily for construction expenditures and general corporate purposes.

The market price of Southern Company’s common stock at March 31, 2009 was $30.62 per share (based on the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange) and the book value was $16.94 per share, representing a market-to-book ratio of 181%, compared to $37.00, $17.08, and 217%, respectively, at the end of 2008. The dividend for the first quarter 2009 was $0.42 per share compared to $0.4025 per share in the first quarter 2008. In April 2009, the quarterly dividend payable in June 2009 was increased to $0.4375 per share.

Capital Requirements and Contractual Obligations

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY – “Capital Requirements and Contractual Obligations” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for a description of Southern Company’s capital requirements for its construction program and other funding requirements associated with scheduled maturities of long-term debt, as well as the related interest, preferred and preference stock dividends, leases, trust funding requirements, other purchase commitments, unrecognized tax benefits and interest, and derivative obligations. Approximately $686 million will be required through March 31, 2010 for maturities of long-term debt. The construction programs are subject to periodic review and revision, and actual construction costs may vary from these estimates because of numerous factors. These factors include: changes in business conditions; changes in load projections; changes in environmental statutes and regulations; changes in nuclear plants to meet new regulatory requirements; changes in FERC rules and regulations; PSC approvals; changes in legislation; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment, and materials; and the cost of capital. In addition, there can be no assurance that costs related to capital expenditures will be fully recovered.

Sources of Capital

Southern Company intends to meet its future capital needs through internal cash flow and external security issuances. Equity capital can be provided from any combination of Southern Company’s stock plans, private placements, or public offerings. The amount and timing of additional equity capital to be raised in 2009, as well as in subsequent years, will be contingent on Southern Company’s investment opportunities. The traditional operating companies and Southern Power plan to obtain the funds required for construction and other purposes from sources similar to those used in the past, which were primarily from operating cash flows, security issuances, term loans, short-term borrowings, and equity contributions from Southern Company.

THE SOUTHERN COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

However, the amount, type, and timing of any financings, if needed, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory approval, and other factors. See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY – “Sources of Capital” of Southern Company in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for additional information.

Southern Company’s current liabilities frequently exceed current assets because of the continued use of short-term debt as a funding source to meet cash needs as well as scheduled maturities of long-term debt. To meet short-term cash needs and contingencies, Southern Company has substantial cash flow from operating activities and access to capital markets, including commercial paper programs (which are backed by bank credit facilities) to meet liquidity needs. At March 31, 2009, Southern Company and its subsidiaries had approximately $672 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.2 billion of unused credit arrangements with banks, of which $775 million expire in 2009, $160 million expire in 2010, $25 million expire in 2011, and $3.2 billion expire in 2012. Approximately $94 million of the credit facilities expiring in 2009 and 2010 allow for the execution of term loans for an additional two-year period, and $504 million contain provisions allowing one-year term loans. At March 31, 2009, approximately $1.3 billion of the credit facilities were dedicated to providing liquidity support to the traditional operating companies’ variable rate pollution control revenue bonds. See Note 6 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Bank Credit Arrangements” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K and Note (F) to the Condensed Financial Statements under “Bank Credit Arrangements” herein for additional information. The traditional operating companies may also meet short-term cash needs through a Southern Company subsidiary organized to issue and sell commercial paper at the request and for the benefit of each of the traditional operating companies. At March 31, 2009, the Southern Company system had outstanding commercial paper of $915.6 million and short-term bank notes of $150 million. Management believes that the need for working capital can be adequately met by utilizing commercial paper programs, lines of credit, and cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

See MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY – “Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements” of Southern Company in Item 7 and Note 7 to the financial statements of Southern Company under “Operating Leases” in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for information related to Mississippi Power’s lease of a combined cycle generating facility at Plant Daniel.

Credit Rating Risk

Southern Company does not have any credit arrangements that would require material changes in payment schedules or terminations as a result of a credit rating downgrade. There are certain contracts that could require collateral, but not accelerated payment, in the event of a credit rating change of certain subsidiaries to BBB and Baa2, or BBB- and/or Baa3 or below. These contracts are for physical electricity purchases and sales, fuel purchases, fuel transportation and storage, emissions allowances, energy price risk management, and construction of new generation. At March 31, 2009, the maximum potential collateral requirements under these contracts at a BBB and Baa2 rating were approximately $9 million and at a BBB- and/or Baa3 rating were approximately $403 million. At March 31, 2009, the maximum potential collateral requirements under these contracts at a rating below BBB- and/or Baa3 were approximately $1.9 billion. In addition, certain nuclear fuel agreements could require collateral of up to $251 million in the event of a rating change to below investment grade for Southern Company. Generally, collateral may be provided by a Southern Company guaranty, letter of credit, or cash. Additionally, any credit rating downgrade could impact Southern Company’s ability to access capital markets, particularly the short-term debt market.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

Market Price Risk

Southern Company’s market risk exposure relative to interest rate changes has not changed materially compared with the December 31, 2008 reporting period. Since a significant portion of outstanding indebtedness is at fixed rates, Southern Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would significantly affect exposures on existing indebtedness in the near term. However, the impact on future financing costs cannot now be determined.

Due to cost-based rate regulation, the traditional operating companies continue to have limited exposure to market volatility in interest rates, commodity fuel prices, and prices of electricity. In addition, Southern Power’s exposure to market volatility in commodity fuel prices and prices of electricity is limited because its long-term sales contracts shift substantially all fuel cost responsibility to the purchaser. However, during 2009, Southern Power is exposed to market volatility in energy-related commodity prices as a result of sales of uncontracted generating capacity. The traditional operating companies continue to manage fuel-hedging programs implemented per the guidelines of their respective state PSCs. To mitigate residual risks relative to movements in electricity prices, the traditional operating companies enter into physical fixed-price contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity through the wholesale electricity market. To mitigate residual risks relative to movements in gas prices, the registrants may enter into fixed-price contracts for natural gas purchases; however, a significant portion of contracts are priced at market. As such, the traditional operating companies have no material change in market risk exposure when compared with the December 31, 2008 reporting period.

The changes in fair value of energy-related derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were as follows:

		First Quarter
		2009
		Changes
		Fair Value
		(in millions)
Contracts outstanding at the beginning of the period, assets (liabilities), net		$	(285	)
Contracts realized or settled			60
Current period changes(a)			(198	)
Contracts outstanding at the end of the period, assets (liabilities), net		$	(423	)

(a)

Current period changes also include the changes in fair value of new contracts entered into during the period, if any.

The decrease in the fair value positions of the energy-related derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $138 million, substantially all of which is due to natural gas positions. This change is attributable to both the volume and prices of natural gas. At March 31, 2009, Southern Company had a net hedge volume of 172.6 Bcf (includes location basis of 2 Bcf) with a weighted average contract cost approximately $2.53 per mmBtu above market prices, compared to 148.8 Bcf at December 31, 2008 with a weighted average contract cost approximately $1.97 per mmBtu above market prices. The majority of the natural gas hedges are recovered through the traditional operating companies’ fuel cost recovery clauses.

THE SOUTHERN COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

At March 31, 2009, the fair value of energy-related derivative contracts by hedge designation was reflected in the financial statements as follows:

		March 31, 2009
		(in millions)
Regulatory hedges		$	(427	)
Cash flow hedges			1
Not designated			3
Total fair value		$	(423	)

Energy-related derivative contracts which are designated as regulatory hedges relate to the traditional operating companies’ fuel hedging programs, where gains and losses are initially recorded as regulatory liabilities and assets, respectively, and then are included in fuel expense as they are recovered through the fuel cost recovery clauses. Gains and losses on energy-related derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are mainly used by Southern Power to hedge anticipated purchases and sales and are initially deferred in other comprehensive income before being recognized in income in the same period as the hedged transaction. Gains and losses on energy-related derivative contracts that are not designated or fail to qualify as hedges are recognized in the statements of income as incurred.

Total net unrealized pre-tax losses recognized in the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 for energy-related derivative contracts that are not hedges were $1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the total net unrealized losses recognized in the statements of income were $14 million. See Note (F) to the Condensed Financial Statements herein for further details of these losses.

The maturities of the energy-related derivative contracts and the level of the fair value hierarchy in which they fall at March 31, 2009 are as follows:

		March 31, 2009
		Fair Value Measurements
		Total				Maturity
		Fair Value				Year 1				Years 2&3				Years 4&5
		(in millions)
Level 1		$	—			$	—			$	—			$	—
Level 2			(423	)			(319	)			(99	)			(5	)
Level 3			—				—				—				—
Fair value of contracts outstanding at end of period		$	(423	)		$	(319	)		$	(99	)		$	(5	)

Southern Company uses over-the-counter contracts that are not exchange traded but are fair valued using prices which are actively quoted, and thus fall into Level 2. See Note (C) to the Condensed Financial Statements herein for further discussion on fair value measurements.

Financing Activities

In the first three months of 2009, Southern Company’s subsidiaries issued $1.1 billion of senior notes, and Southern Company issued $151 million of common stock through the Southern Investment Plan and employee and director stock plans. The proceeds were primarily used to fund ongoing construction projects and to repay short-term and long-term indebtedness. Alabama Power issued $500 million of Series 2009A 6.00% Senior Notes due March 1, 2039. Alabama Power used the proceeds to repay short-term indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes, including Alabama Power’s continuous construction program. Georgia Power issued $500 million of Series 2009A 5.95% Senior Notes due February 1, 2039. Georgia Power used the proceeds to repay $150 million aggregate principal amount of its Series U Floating Rate Senior Notes at maturity, to repay a portion of short-term indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes, including Georgia Power’s continuous construction program. Georgia Power settled $100 million of hedges related to the Series 2009A issuance at a loss of approximately $16 million, and this loss will be amortized to interest expense, in earnings, together with a previously settled loss of approximately $2 million, over 10 years. Mississippi Power issued $125 million of Series 2009A 5.55% Senior Notes due March 1, 2019. Mississippi Power used the proceeds to repay at maturity Mississippi Power’s $40 million aggregate principal amount of Series F Floating Rate Senior Notes due March 9, 2009, to repay a portion of short-term indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes, including Mississippi Power’s continuous construction program. Gulf Power also incurred obligations related to the issuance of pollution control revenue bonds totaling approximately $130 million. Gulf Power is using the proceeds for acquisition, construction, installation, and equipping of certain solid waste disposal facilities located at Plant Crist. See Southern Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows herein for further details regarding financing activities during the first three months of 2009.

In addition to any financings that may be necessary to meet capital requirements and contractual obligations, Southern Company and its subsidiaries plan to continue, when economically feasible, a program to retire higher-cost securities and replace these obligations with lower-cost capital if market conditions permit.
