NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
SCE is a rate-regulated electric utility that supplies electric energy to a 50,000 square-mile area of central, coastal and southern California. SCE is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Edison International.
Basis of Presentation
SCE's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 of "SCE Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in its 2009 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. SCE follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes, with the exception of accounting principles adopted as of January 1, 2010, as
discussed below in "New Accounting Guidance." This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such financial statements.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, including recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Management
has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
The
December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash equivalents included money market funds totaling $40 million and $360 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively. The carrying value of cash equivalents equals the fair value, as all investments have maturities of less than three months. For further discussion of money market funds, see
Note 9.
SCE
has a cash management program under which the ending daily cash balance in its primary disbursement accounts are temporarily invested until required for check clearing. SCE reclassified
$238 million and $224 million of checks issued against these accounts, but not yet paid by the financial institution, from cash to accounts payable at March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Margin and collateral deposits include cash deposited with counterparties and brokers, and cash received from counterparties and brokers as credit
support under energy contracts. The amount of margin and collateral deposits generally varies based on changes in the fair value of the positions. SCE presents margin and cash collateral deposits
subject to a master netting arrangement netted with its

positions on its consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes margin and collateral deposits provided to and received from counterparties:

New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2010
ConsolidationImprovements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities
The
FASB issued an accounting standards update that changes how a company determines when an entity, that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting
(or similar rights), should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an ability to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and whether the entity has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive expected returns of the entity. This guidance
requires a company to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SCE adopted this
guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2010. The impact of adopting this guidance resulted in the deconsolidation of projects related to four QF contracts. For further discussion, see
Note 12.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The
FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides for new disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Requirements, effective January 1,
2010, include separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for the transfers. The update also clarified existing disclosure requirements for the
level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. In addition, effective January 1, 2011, the Level 3 reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs should include gross rather than net information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. The guidance impacts disclosures only. For further discussion, see Note 9.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and the SEC that were effective after March 31, 2010 are not expected to have a material effect on SCE's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 2. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Commodity Price Risk
SCE is exposed to commodity price risk, which represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular
commodity. SCE's hedging program reduces ratepayer exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's power and gas activities. As part of this program, SCE enters into energy options, swaps,
forward arrangements, tolling arrangements and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). These transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved
procurement plans. SCE recovers its related hedging costs through the ERRA balancing account and as a result, exposure to commodity price risk is not expected to impact earnings, but may impact cash
flows.
SCE's
electricity price exposure arises from energy purchased and sold in the MRTU market as a result of differences between SCE's load requirements versus the amount of energy delivered from its
generating facilities, existing bilateral contracts and CDWR contracts allocated to SCE.
A
portion of SCE's purchased power supply is subject to natural gas price volatility. SCE's natural gas price exposure arises from purchasing natural gas for generation at Mountainview and peaker
plants, bilateral contracts where pricing is based on natural gas prices (this includes contract energy prices for most renewable QFs which are based on the monthly index price of natural gas
delivered at the southern California border), and power contracts in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.

- In
compliance with a CPUC mandate, SCE held an open, competitive solicitation that produced agreements with different project
developers who have agreed to construct new southern California generating resources. SCE has entered into a number of contracts which are recorded as derivative instruments. The
contracts provide for fixed capacity payments as well as pricing for energy delivered based on a heat rate and contractual operation and maintenance prices. However, due to uncertainty
regarding the availability of required emission credits, some of the new generating resources may not be constructed and the contracts associated with these resources could therefore
terminate, at which time SCE would no longer account for these contracts as derivatives.

Income Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased-power expense and recovers these costs from ratepayers. As a result,
realized gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from ratepayers, unrealized gains and losses are deferred and are not
recognized as purchased-power expense and therefore do not affect earnings. The results of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are recorded in cash flows from operating activities in
the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Table of Contents
Contingent Features/Credit-Related Exposure
Certain derivative instruments and power procurement contracts under SCE's power and natural gas hedging activities contain collateral requirements.
SCE has historically provided collateral in the form of cash and/or letters of credit for the benefit of counterparties. These requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit
extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments and other factors.
Certain
of these power contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a
"credit-risk-related contingent feature." If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the derivative liability or post additional
collateral. The aggregate fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $213 million and $91 million, as of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for which SCE has posted no collateral to its counterparties. If the credit-risk-related contingent features
underlying
these agreements were triggered on March 31, 2010, SCE would be required to post $16 million of collateral.
Note 3. Liabilities and Lines of Credit
Long-Term Debt
In March 2010, SCE issued $500 million of 5.5% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2040. The bond proceeds were used to repay commercial
paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt is generally used to finance fuel inventories, balancing account under-collections and general, temporary cash
requirements including power purchase payments. At March 31, 2010, the outstanding short-term debt was $180 million at a weighted-average interest rate of .28%. This
short-term debt was supported by a $2.4 billion credit line. At December 31, 2009, the outstanding short-term debt was zero.
At
March 31, 2010, letters of credit under SCE's credit facility aggregated $82 million and were scheduled to expire in 2010.
Note 4. Income Taxes
SCE's effective tax rates were 42% and 35% (excluding income attributable to non-controlling interests) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $39 million non-cash charge recorded in the first quarter of 2010 to reverse previously recognized federal tax benefits
eliminated by the federal health care legislation enacted in March 2010, partially offset by higher property-related flow-through tax deductions in 2010. The Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, was enacted in March 2010. The new health care legislation includes a provision that eliminates the federal tax
deduction of retiree health care costs to the extent those costs are eligible for federal Medicare Part D subsidies. Although this change does not take effect until January 1, 2013, SCE
is required to recognize the full accounting impact of the legislation in its financial statements in the period of enactment.
The
CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time.
The accounting treatment
9
Table of Contents
for
these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Unrecognized tax benefits increased $123 million during the first quarter of 2010 mainly as a result of tax positions taken for a prior
period.
Note 5. Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Pension Plans
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, SCE made 2010 plan year contributions of $20 million and expects to make $61 million
of additional contributions during the remainder of 2010. SCE recovers contributions made to most of its pension plans through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms. Annual contributions to
these plans are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Stock-Based Compensation
During the first quarter of 2010, Edison International granted its 2010 stock-based compensation awards, which included stock options, performance
shares and restricted stock units. SCE's total stock-based compensation expenses (reflected in the caption "Other operation and maintenance" on the consolidated statements of income) was
$5 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of income was
$2 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Consistent with SCE's 2009 GRC, no stock-based compensation was capitalized beginning
in 2009. Excess tax benefits included in "Stock-based compensation net" in the financing section of the consolidated statements of cash flows were $1 million and
$2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other Commitments
SCE has letters of credit outstanding under a credit facility. For further discussion, see Note 3.
Indemnities
Indemnity Provided as Part of the Acquisition of Mountainview
In connection with the acquisition of Mountainview, SCE agreed to indemnify the seller with respect to specific environmental claims related to SCE's
previously owned San Bernardino Generating Station, divested by SCE in 1998 and reacquired as part of the Mountainview acquisition. SCE retained certain responsibilities with respect to environmental
claims as part of the original divestiture of the station.
12
Table of Contents
The
aggregate liability for either party to the purchase agreement for damages and other amounts is a maximum of $60 million. This indemnification for environmental liabilities expires on or
before March 12, 2033. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.
Mountainview Filter Cake Indemnity
The Mountainview power plant utilizes water from on-site groundwater wells and City of Redlands ("City") recycled water for cooling
purposes. Unrelated to the operation of the plant, this water contains perchlorate. The pumping of the water removes perchlorate from the aquifer beneath the plant and concentrates it in the plant's
wastewater treatment "filter cake." Use of this impacted groundwater for cooling purposes was mandated by Mountainview's California Energy Commission permit. SCE has indemnified the City for cleanup
or associated actions related to groundwater contaminated by perchlorate due to the disposal of filter cake at the City's solid waste landfill. The obligations under this agreement are not limited to
a specific time period or subject to a maximum liability. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this guarantee.
Other Indemnities
SCE provides other indemnifications through contracts entered into in the normal course of business. These are primarily indemnifications against
adverse litigation outcomes in connection with underwriting agreements, and specified environmental indemnities and income taxes with respect to assets sold. SCE's obligations under these agreements
may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances SCE may have recourse against third parties for certain indemnities. The obligated amounts of these indemnifications often are not
explicitly stated, and the overall maximum amount of the obligation under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. SCE has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities.
Contingencies
In addition to the matters disclosed in these Notes, SCE is involved in other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts and
governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. SCE believes that the outcome of these other proceedings will not materially affect its results of operations or
liquidity.
Environmental Remediation
SCE is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, which typically require a lengthy and complex process for obtaining licenses, permits
and approvals and require it to incur substantial costs to operate existing facilities, construct and operate new facilities, and mitigate or remove the effect of past operations on the environment.
Possible
developments, such as the enactment of more stringent environmental laws and regulations, proceedings that may be initiated by environmental and other regulatory authorities, cases in which
new theories of liability are recognized, and settlements agreed to by other companies that establish precedent or expectations for the power industry, could affect the costs and the manner in which
business is conducted and could cause substantial additional capital expenditures or operational expenditures or the ceasing of operations at certain facilities. There is no assurance that additional
costs would be recovered from customers or that SCE's financial position, results of operations and cash flows would not be materially affected.
13
Table of Contents
SCE
records its environmental remediation liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. SCE reviews its sites
and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted
laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site
investigations, remediation, operations and maintenance, monitoring and site closure. Unless there is a probable amount, SCE records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected
in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts.
As
of March 31, 2010, SCE's recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 23 identified sites was $38 million. The ultimate costs to clean up SCE's identified sites may vary from
its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the
varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the time periods over which site remediation is
expected to occur. SCE believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at these identified sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to
$171 million. The upper limit of this range of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to SCE among a range of reasonably possible outcomes. In addition to its
identified sites (sites in which the upper end of the range of costs is at least $1 million), SCE also has 34 immaterial sites for which total liability ranges from $5 million (the
recorded minimum liability) to $10 million.
The
CPUC allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites, representing $32 million of its recorded liability, through an incentive mechanism (SCE may request
to include additional sites). Under this mechanism, SCE will recover 90% of cleanup costs through customer rates; shareholders fund the remaining 10%, with the opportunity to recover these costs from
insurance carriers and other third parties. SCE has successfully settled insurance claims with all responsible carriers. SCE expects to recover costs incurred at its remaining sites through customer
rates. SCE has recorded a regulatory asset of $39 million for its estimated minimum environmental-cleanup costs expected to be recovered through customer rates.
SCE's
identified sites include several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination and the extent, if any, that SCE may be
held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.
SCE
expects to clean up its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs in each of the next several years are expected to range from $3 million to
$18 million. Recorded costs were less than $1 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Based
on currently available information, SCE believes it is unlikely that it will incur amounts in excess of the upper limit of the estimated range for its identified sites and, based upon the CPUC's
regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs, SCE believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There can
be no assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites, will not require material revisions to such estimates.

Federal and State Income Taxes
Edison International's federal income tax returns are currently under active examination by the IRS for tax years 2003 through 2006 and are subject
to examination through tax year 2009. Edison International's California and other state income tax returns remain open for tax years 1986 through 2009.
2010 FERC Rate Case
In September 2009, the FERC issued an order allowing SCE to implement its proposed 2010 rates effective March 1, 2010, subject to refund. The
proposed rates would increase SCE's revenue requirement by $107 million, or 24%, over the 2009 revenue requirement primarily due to an increase in transmission rate base, and would result in an
approximate 1% increase to SCE's overall system average rate. SCE has terminated settlement negotiations and begun the litigation process for the proposed 2010 rates. A final decision is expected in
the second half of 2011.
FERC Transmission Incentives and CWIP Proceedings
In November 2007, the FERC issued an order granting ROE incentive adders, recovery of the ROE and incentive adders in the CWIP proceedings, and 100%
recovery of abandoned plant costs (if any) for three of SCE's transmission projects: 125 basis point adder for both DPV2 and Tehachapi, and a 75 basis point adder for Rancho Vista. The CPUC
filed an appeal of this order, which had been stayed pending final resolution by FERC of the 2008 CWIP proceeding. In April 2010, the FERC issued an order on SCE's 2008 CWIP proceeding. The order sets
SCE's 2008 base ROE (before incentives) at 9.54% and establishes a methodology for determining the base ROE for 2009 and 2010 CWIP incentives. SCE may seek a rehearing of the order. The order did not
have a material impact on SCE's earnings or cash flows. The outcomes of the 2009 and 2010 CWIP proceedings are still pending. The 2010 CWIP revenue requirements are expected to be collected in rates
beginning on June 1, 2010. The collected 2008 and 2009 CWIP revenue requirements are subject to refund, pending a final FERC order on these matters.
Navajo Nation Litigation
The Navajo Nation filed a complaint in June 1999 against SCE, among other defendants, arising out of the coal supply agreement for Mohave.
Subsequently, the Hopi Tribe was added as an additional plaintiff. As amended in April 2010, the Navajo Nation's complaint asserts claims for, among other things, interference with fiduciary duties
and contractual relations, fraudulent misrepresentations by nondisclosure, and various contract-related claims. The complaint claims that the defendants' actions prevented the Navajo Nation from
obtaining the full value in royalty rates for the coal supplied to Mohave. The complaint seeks damages of not less than $600 million, plus interest thereon, and punitive damages of not less
than $1 billion. In April 2009, in a related case filed in December 1993 against the U.S. Government, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the Navajo Nation did not have a claim for compensation.
No trial date has been set for this litigation. SCE cannot predict the outcome of the Tribes' complaints against SCE.
Nuclear Insurance
Federal law limits public liability claims from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately
$12.6 billion. SCE and other owners of San Onofre and Palo Verde have purchased the maximum private primary insurance available ($375 million). The balance is covered by a loss sharing
program among nuclear reactor licensees. If a nuclear incident at
15
Table of Contents
any
licensed reactor in the United States results in claims and/or costs which exceed the primary insurance at that plant site, all nuclear reactor licensees could be required to contribute their
share of the liability in the form of a deferred premium.
Based
on its ownership interests, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $235 million per nuclear incident. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately
$35 million per incident in any one year. If the public liability limit above is insufficient, federal law contemplates that additional funds may be appropriated by Congress. This could include
an additional assessment on all licensed reactor operators as a measure for raising further federal revenue.
Property
damage insurance covers losses up to $500 million, including decontamination costs, at San Onofre and Palo Verde. Decontamination liability and property damage coverage exceeding the
primary $500 million also has been purchased in amounts greater than federal requirements. Additional insurance covers part of replacement power expenses during an accident-related nuclear unit
outage. A mutual insurance company owned by utilities with nuclear facilities issues these policies. If losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds
for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $43 million per year. Insurance premiums are charged to operating expense.
Spent Nuclear Fuel
Under federal law, the DOE is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and
high-level radioactive waste. The DOE did not meet its contractual obligation to begin acceptance of spent nuclear fuel by January 31, 1998. Extended delays by the DOE have led to
the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on site sufficient for the
current license period.
On
January 29, 2004, SCE, as operating agent, filed a complaint against the DOE in the United States Court of Federal Claims seeking damages for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to
begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. The trial was completed in April 2009 but no decision has been issued. SCE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding or when a decision will be
issued by the Court.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an "exit price"). Fair value for a liability should reflect the entity's non-performance risk.
Fair value is determined using a hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation models. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical
assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2
Pricing inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the derivative instrument; and
Level 3
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurements and unobservable.
SCE's
assets and liabilities carried at fair value primarily consist of derivative contracts, nuclear decommissioning trust investments and money market funds. Derivative contracts are primarily
commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of power and gas and include contracts for forward physical sales and purchases, options and forward price swaps which settle only on a financial basis
(including futures contracts). Derivative contracts can be exchange traded or over-the-counter traded.
The
fair value of derivative contracts takes into account quoted market prices, time value of money, volatility of the underlying commodities, and other factors. Derivatives that are exchange traded
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as Level 1. Investments in money market funds are generally classified as Level 1, as fair value is determined by
observable market prices in active markets. SCE's Level 2 derivatives primarily consist of financial natural gas swaps, fixed to
18
Table of Contents
floating
swaps, and natural gas physical trades for which SCE obtains the applicable Henry Hub and basis forward market prices from the New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange.
Level 3
includes the majority of SCE's derivatives, including over-the-counter options, bilateral contracts, capacity contracts, and QF contracts. The fair value of
these derivatives is determined using uncorroborated non-binding broker quotes (from one or more brokers) and models which may require SCE to extrapolate short-term observable
inputs in order to calculate fair value. Broker
quotes are obtained from several brokers and compared against each other for reasonableness. SCE has Level 3 fixed to floating swaps for which SCE obtains the applicable Henry Hub and basis
forward market prices from the New York Mercantile Exchange. However, these swaps have contract terms that extend beyond observable market data and the unobservable inputs incorporated in the fair
value determination are considered significant compared to the overall swap's fair value.
Level 3
also includes derivatives that trade infrequently (such as CRRs in the California market and over-the-counter derivatives at illiquid locations) and
long-term power agreements. For illiquid CRRs, objective criteria is reviewed, including system congestion and other underlying drivers, and fair value is adjusted when it is concluded
that a change in objective criteria would result in a new valuation that better reflects fair value.
Changes
in fair values are based on the hypothetical sale of illiquid positions. For illiquid long-term power agreements, fair value is based upon a discounting of future electricity and
natural gas prices derived from a proprietary model using the risk free discount rate for a similar duration contract, adjusted for credit risk and market liquidity. Changes in fair value are based on
changes to forward market prices, including forecasted prices for illiquid forward periods. In circumstances where SCE cannot verify fair value with observable market transactions, it is possible that
a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. As markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available, SCE continues to assess
valuation methodologies used to determine fair value. Derivative contracts with counterparties that have significant nonperformance risk are classified as Level 3.
In
assessing nonperformance risks, SCE reviews credit ratings of counterparties (and related default rates based on such credit ratings). The fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities
nonperformance risks was $2 million and $11 million, respectively at March 31, 2010 and was $2 million and $7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009.
The
nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities and other fixed-income securities. Equity and treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as
fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed-income securities are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these
financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields,
broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers and relevant credit information.

- Due
to regulatory mechanisms, SCE's realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities.
There were no transfers between levels during the first quarter of 2010. SCE determines the fair value for transfers in and transfers out of each level as of
the end of each reporting period.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
SCE is collecting in rates amounts for the future costs of removal of its nuclear assets, and has placed those amounts in independent decommissioning
trusts. Contributions are approximately $46 million per year. Funds collected, together with accumulated earnings, will be utilized solely for decommissioning. The CPUC has set certain
restrictions related to the investments of these trusts.

Note 12. Variable Interest Entities
Effective January 1, 2010, SCE adopted the FASB's new guidance regarding variable interest entities ("VIEs"). A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient
equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to
receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The new guidance replaces the predominantly quantitative model for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest
in a VIE with a qualitative approach. Under this new qualitative model, the primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the
VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE unless specific exceptions or exclusions are met. Commercial and operating activities are generally the factors that most significantly
impact the economic performance of VIEs in which SCE has a variable interest. Commercial and operating activities include construction, operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch and
compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.
Variable Interests in VIEs that are not Consolidated
Power Purchase Contracts
SCE has power purchase agreements ("PPAs") in which SCE has a variable interest in 17 VIEs, including 6 tolling agreements, where SCE provides the
natural gas to operate the plants, and 11 contracts with QFs (including the Big 4 projects) that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas. SCE has concluded that it
is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. In general, because payments for capacity are the primary source of
income, the most significant economic activity for SCE's VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants. SCE does not have control over the operation and
25
Table of Contents
maintenance
of the facilities considered VIEs and it does not bear operational risk of the facilities. See further discussion of the Big 4 projects below.
As
of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE's consolidated balance sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs or the
fair value of those derivative contracts, which are accounted for at fair value. See Note 9 for a discussion on non performance risk. Further, SCE has no residual interest in the entities and
has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts, other than the purchase commitments
described in Note 6, so there is no significant potential maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIEs. For contracts accounted for as a derivative, the potential
maximum exposure is limited to the derivative asset balance in the tables below. The aggregate capacity dedicated to SCE for these VIE projects was 1,749 MW at March 31, 2010 and the amounts
that SCE paid to these projects were $125 million and $116 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively. These amounts are

Big 4 Projects Consolidated Prior to 2010
SCE has variable interests in the Big 4 Projects through power contracts between SCE and the Big 4 Projects containing variable contract pricing
provisions based on the price of natural gas. Prior to 2010, SCE had determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these four VIEs and, therefore, consolidated these projects. SCE deconsolidated
the Big 4 Projects at January 1, 2010 since it did not control the commercial and operating activities of these projects. The deconsolidation did not result in a gain or loss.

SCE's earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Management uses core earnings for financial
planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings are also used when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company's
performance from period to period. Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings are defined as earnings attributable
to SCE less income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as: settlement of prior year tax liabilities, change in tax law
and nonrecurring regulatory or legal proceedings.
SCE's
2010 core earnings decreased from 2009 primarily due to higher operating expense, including the impact of curtailed spending in the first quarter of last year until the 2009 CPUC GRC decision
was received in March 2009. This decrease was almost entirely offset by rate base growth and higher capitalized financing costs (AFUDC).
Consolidated
non-core items for SCE included a non-cash charge of $39 million to reverse previously recognized federal tax benefits eliminated by the federal health care
legislation. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, was enacted in March 2010. The new health care legislation includes a
provision that eliminates the federal tax deduction of retiree health care costs to the extent those costs are eligible for federal Medicare Part D subsidies. Although this change does not take
effect until January 1, 2013, SCE is required to recognize the full accounting impact of the legislation in its financial statements in the period of enactment.
SCE Capital Program
SCE's capital program continues to be focused primarily in five areas:
-
- Upgrading and constructing new transmission lines to expand capacity to utilize renewable energy, including the Tehachapi,
Devers-Colorado River and Eldorado-Ivanpah projects.
-
- Maintaining reliability and expanding capability of SCE's transmission and distribution system.
-
- Developing and installing up to 250 MW of utility-owned solar photovoltaic generating facilities (generally ranging in
size from 1 to 2 MW each) on commercial and industrial rooftops and other space in SCE's service territory.
-
- Replacing steam generators at San Onofre intended to enable operations until at least the end of its initial license
period in 2022. During the first quarter of 2010, SCE completed the replacement of
30
Table of Contents
the
steam generators at San Onofre Unit 2 and Unit 2 was returned to service on April 11, 2010. See "Results of OperationsElectric Utility Results of OperationsUtility
Earning Activities" for discussion of the extended outage at San Onofre Unit 2.
-
- Installing "smart" meters in approximately 5.3 million households and small businesses referred to as Edison
SmartConnect. During the first quarter SCE installed approximately 343,000 smart meters, with cumulative installations totaling approximately 495,000.
SCE
continues to plan to utilize much of the cash generated from its operations and issuance of additional debt and preferred equity for its capital program. During the first quarter of 2010, SCE
issued $500 million of long-term debt that matures in 2040.
SCE's
capital investments (including accruals) during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $640 million. SCE projects that capital investments will be in the range of $3.3 billion to
$4.0 billion in 2010 and the 2010 2014 total capital investment spending will be in the range of $18 billion to $21.5 billion. The rate of actual
capital spending will be affected by permitting, regulatory, market and other factors as discussed further under "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCapital Investment Plans" in the 2009
Form 10-K.
Environmental Developments
California Renewable Energy Developments
In March 2010, CARB issued its preliminary draft Renewable Electricity Standard that would require most retail sellers of electricity in California
to procure 33% of their electricity from eligible renewable energy resources by 2020. CARB is seeking comments on its draft from stakeholders and plans to issue proposed regulations during the summer
of 2010. SCE believes that achieving a 33% renewables portfolio standard in this timeframe will be highly ambitious, given the magnitude of the infrastructure build-out required and the
slow pace of transmission permitting and approvals.
Once-Through Cooling
On May 4, 2010, the California State Water Resources Board issued a final policy, which establishes closed-cycle wet cooling as required
technology for retrofitting existing once-through cooled plants like San Onofre and many of the existing gas-fired power plants along the California coast. The final policy
requires an independent engineering study to be conducted regarding the feasibility of compliance by California's two coastal nuclear power plants. Depending on the results of the study, the required
compliance may result in significant capital expenditures at San Onofre and may affect its operations. It may also significantly impact SCE's ability to procure generating capacity from
fossil-fuel plants that use ocean water in once-through cooling systems. As a consequence, system reliability and the cost of electricity may be impacted to the extent other
coastal power plants in California are forced to shut down or limit operations. The policy has the potential to adversely affect California's nineteen once-through cooled power plants,
which provide over 21,000 MW of combined, in-state generation capacity, including over 9,100 MW of capacity interconnected within SCE's service territory.

Table of Contents
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
-
- Utility earning activities, which mainly represent CPUC-and FERC-authorized base rates, which allow a
reasonable return, and CPUC-authorized incentive mechanisms; and
-
- Utility cost-recovery activities, which mainly represent CPUC-authorized balancing accounts, which
allow recovery of costs incurred or provide mechanisms to track and recover or refund differences in forecasted and actual amounts. Balancing accounts do not allow for a return.
Utility
earning activities include base rates that are designed to recover forecasted operation and maintenance costs, certain capital-related carrying costs, interest, taxes and a return, including
the return and taxes on capital projects recovered through balancing account mechanisms. Differences between authorized and actual results impact earnings. Also included in utility earning activities
are revenues or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances, if any.
Utility
cost-recovery activities include rates which provide for recovery, subject to reasonableness review, of fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related program costs
(including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses, and depreciation expense related to certain projects. There is no return for
cost-recovery expenses.

Utility Earning Activities
2010 vs. 2009
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
-
- Higher operating revenue of $61 million primarily due to the following:
-
- $40 million increase due to implementation of the 2009 GRC (effective January 1, 2009) which authorized a
4.25% increase in 2010 authorized revenue.
-
- $25 million increase resulting from the 2009 and 2010 FERC rate cases effective March 1, 2009 and
March 1, 2010, respectively (see "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesRegulatory Proceedings2010 FERC Rate Case" for further discussion).
-
- Higher operation and maintenance expense of $78 million including the impact of curtailed spending in the first
quarter of 2009 until the 2009 CPUC GRC decision was received in March 2009. The increase in operation and maintenance expense was primarily in the following areas:
-
- $30 million of higher transmission and distribution expenses. In addition to the impact of curtailed spending, the
2010 increase reflects higher costs to support system reliability and infrastructure replacement and increases in preventive maintenance work.
-
- $20 million of higher 2010 generation expenses reflecting $10 million primarily due to additional work
identified during the San Onofre Unit 2 scheduled outage and $10 million primarily due to overhaul and outage costs at Four Corners.
The
first two of the four replacement steam generators were installed in San Onofre Unit 2 in the first quarter of 2010 and the final two are expected to be installed in San Onofre Unit 3 in late
2010. During the San Onofre Unit 2 scheduled outage, SCE identified and completed additional work unrelated to the steam generator replacement that resulted in increased operation and maintenance
expense and extended the outage beyond SCE's initial estimated timeframe. San Onofre Unit 2 was returned to service on April 11, 2010.
-
- Higher depreciation expense of $27 million primarily resulting from increased capital investments including
capitalized software costs.
-
- Lower net interest expense and other of $10 million primarily due to higher capitalized cost of equity and debt
(AFUDC) resulting from a higher capitalization rate and level of construction in progress. See "SCE Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 11. Other Income and Expenses" for further
detail of other income and expenses.
Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
2010 vs. 2009
Excluding the impact of deconsolidation of the Big 4 projects (see "SCE Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 12. Variable Interest
Entities"), utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by:
-
- Higher purchased power expense of $68 million primarily due to: higher QF power-purchase expense of
$130 million primarily due to higher natural gas prices and higher kWh purchases; and higher ISO-related energy costs of $70 million, including replacement power costs
related to the San Onofre Unit 2 scheduled outage. This was partially offset by lower bilateral energy purchase expense of $65 million primarily due to decreased kWh purchases. Realized losses
on economic hedging
34
Table of Contents
activities
were $24 million in 2010 and $98 million in 2009. Changes in realized losses on economic hedging activities were primarily due to settled natural gas prices being lower than
average fixed prices.
-
- Lower fuel expense of $16 million primarily due to lower costs at Four Corners (coal) of $10 million
resulting from an outage during the first quarter 2010 and lower costs at San Onofre Unit 2 of $5 million resulting from the first quarter 2010 outage described above.
Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's total consolidated operating revenue was $2.2 billion for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, of which
$2.0 billion and $1.9 billion were related to retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales) for March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the first quarter of
2010, retail billed and unbilled revenue increased $145 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. The increase reflects a rate increase of $182 million and a sales volume decrease
of $37 million. The rate increase was due to higher system average rates for the first quarter of
2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Effective April 4, 2009, SCE's overall system average rate increased due to the implementation of both revenue allocation and rate design changes
authorized in the 2009 GRC and the FERC transmission rate changes authorized in the 2009 FERC rate case. The sales volume decrease was due to the economic downturn. As a result of the
CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE does not bear the volumetric risk related to electricity sales (see "Overview of Ratemaking Mechanisms" in the 2009 Form 10-K).
Due
to warmer weather during the summer months and SCE's rate design, operating revenue during the third quarter of each year is generally higher than other quarters.
Amounts
SCE bills and collects from its customers for electric power purchased and sold by the CDWR to SCE's customers, CDWR bond-related costs and a portion of direct access exit fees are
remitted to the CDWR and are not recognized as revenue by SCE. The amounts collected and remitted to CDWR were $296 million and $505 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Effective January 1, 2010, the CDWR-related rates were decreased primarily to refund CDWR overcollections to customers.
Effective Income Tax Rates
SCE's effective tax rates were 42% and 35% (excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interests) for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $39 million non-cash charge recorded in the first quarter of 2010 to reverse previously
recognized federal tax benefits eliminated by the federal health care legislation enacted in March 2010, partially offset by higher property-related flow-through tax deductions in 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SCE expects to fund its continuing obligations and projected capital investments for 2010 through cash and equivalents on hand, operating cash flows
and incremental capital market financings of debt and preferred equity. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities if additional funding and liquidity are necessary to meet operating and
capital requirements.
35
Table of Contents
Available Liquidity
As of March 31, 2010, SCE had approximately $2.7 billion of available liquidity comprised of cash and equivalents and
short-term investments and $2.6 billion available under credit facilities. As of March 31, 2010, SCE's long-term debt, including current maturities of
long-term debt, was $7.0 billion.

terminates in February 2013, with four one-year options to extend by mutual consent, and a $500 million three-year credit facility that terminates in March
2013.
Debt Covenant
SCE has a debt covenant in its credit facilities that limits its debt to total capitalization ratio to less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At
March 31, 2010, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.46 to 1.
Regulatory Proceedings
Energy Efficiency Risk/Reward Incentive Mechanism
As discussed in the year-ended 2009 MD&A, the CPUC adopted an Energy Efficiency Risk/Reward Incentive Mechanism applicable to the
2006 2008 performance period under which SCE expected to receive a $27 million final payment in late 2010. Settlement negotiations on the
2006 2008 energy savings and earnings are expected to begin in late May 2010 and SCE expects a CPUC decision on the final payment, if any, in the second half of 2010. There
is no assurance that SCE will receive a final payment.
2010 FERC Rate Case
In September 2009, the FERC issued an order allowing SCE to implement its proposed 2010 rates effective March 1, 2010, subject to refund. The
proposed rates would increase SCE's revenue requirement by $107 million, or 24%, over the 2009 revenue requirement primarily due to an increase in transmission rate base, and would result in an
approximate 1% increase to SCE's overall system average rate. SCE has terminated settlement negotiations and begun the litigation process for the proposed 2010 rates. A final decision is expected in
the second half of 2011.
Dividend Restrictions
The CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure and limits the dividends it may pay Edison International. In SCE's most recent cost of capital proceeding,
the CPUC set an authorized capital structure for SCE which included a common equity component of 48%. SCE may make distributions to Edison International as long as the common equity component of SCE's
capital structure remains at or above the 48% authorized level on a 13-month weighted-average basis. At March 31, 2010, SCE's 13-month
36
Table of Contents
weighted-average
common equity component of total capitalization was 50.5% resulting in the capacity to pay $381 million in additional dividends.
SCE
paid dividends of $100 million to its parent, Edison International, in January 2010. Future dividend amounts and timing of distributions are dependent upon several factors, including the
actual level of capital investments, operating cash flows and earnings.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Certain derivative instruments and power procurement contracts under SCE's power and natural gas hedging activities contain collateral requirements.
The table below illustrates the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties, as well as the potential collateral that would be required if SCE's credit rating fell below investment grade.

- Total
posted and potential collateral requirements may increase by an additional $32 million, based on SCE's forward
position as of March 31, 2010, due to adverse market price movements over the remaining life of the existing contracts using a 95% confidence level.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $93 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due
to a decrease in pre-tax income, the timing of cash receipts and
37
Table of Contents
disbursements
related to working capital items and income taxes paid in 2010 compared to income tax refunds received in 2009.
Cash Flows Provided (Used) by Financing Activities
Cash provided (used) by financing activities mainly consisted of net repayments of short-term debt and long-term debt
issuances (payments).
Cash
provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2010 were $305 million consisting of the following significant events:
-
- Issued $500 million of first refunding mortgage bonds due in 2040. The bond proceeds were used to repay commercial
paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
-
- Borrowed $180 million under SCE's line of credit to fund interim working capital requirements.
-
- Repaid $250 million of senior unsecured notes.
-
- Paid $100 million in dividends to Edison International.
Cash
used by financing activities for the first quarter of 2009 were $101 million consisting of the following significant events:
-
- Issued $500 million of first refunding mortgage bonds due in 2039 and $250 million of first and refunding
mortgage bonds due in 2014. The bond proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to finance fuel inventories.
-
- Repaid a net $335 million borrowings under SCE's line of credit, primarily due to the improvement in economic
conditions that occurred during the second half of 2008.
-
- Repaid $150 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds.
-
- Purchased $219 million of two issues of tax-exempt pollution control bonds and converted the issues to
a variable rate structure. SCE continues to hold the bonds which remain outstanding and have not been retired or cancelled.
-
- Paid $100 million in dividends to Edison International.
Cash Flows Used by Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities are driven primarily by capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Cash paid for
capital expenditures were $867 million and $690 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily related to transmission and distribution
investments. Net purchases of nuclear decommissioning trust investments and other were $49 million and $42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

- In
compliance with a CPUC mandate, SCE held an open, competitive solicitation that produced agreements with different project developers who
have agreed to construct new southern California generating resources. The contracts provide for fixed capacity payments as well as pricing for energy delivered based on a heat rate and contractual
operation and maintenance prices. However, due to uncertainty regarding the availability of required emission credits, some of the generating resources may not be constructed and the contracts
associated with these resources could therefore terminate, at which time SCE would no longer account for these contracts as derivatives.

- Due
to regulatory mechanisms, SCE's realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities.
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased power expense and recovers these costs from ratepayers. As a result, realized
gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from ratepayers, unrealized gains and losses are deferred and are not recognized as
purchased power expense, and therefore do not affect earnings. Realized losses on economic hedging activities were primarily due to settled natural gas prices being lower than average fixed prices.
Unrealized gains on economic hedging activities were primarily due to the decrease in forward natural gas prices and declining market conditions related to SCE's new generation contracts.
Credit Risk
Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable
less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the balance sheet. SCE enters into master agreements which
typically provide for a right of setoff.
Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. As of March 31, 2010, the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above,
broken down by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:
