RELIANT ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Background and Basis of Presentation
(a) Background.
Reliant Energy refers to Reliant Energy, Inc. and we, us and our refer to Reliant Energy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our business consists primarily of two business segments, retail energy and wholesale energy. See note 12. Our consolidated interim financial statements and notes (interim financial statements) are unaudited, omit certain disclosures and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-K).
(b) Basis of Presentation.
Estimates. Management makes estimates and assumptions to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) that affect:
· the reported amount of assets, liabilities and equity,
· the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and
· our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.
Adjustments and Reclassifications. The interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary, in managements opinion, to present fairly our financial position and results of operations for the reported periods. Amounts reported for interim periods, however, may not be indicative of a full year period due to seasonal fluctuations in demand for electricity and energy services, changes in commodity prices, changes in our retail revenue rates and changes in regulations, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, dispositions, changes in interest expense and other factors. We have reclassified certain immaterial amounts reported in this Form 10-Q from prior periods to conform to the 2007 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported earnings/losses.
Gross Receipts Taxes. We record gross receipts taxes for our retail energy segment on a gross basis in revenues and operations and maintenance in our consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our retail energy segments revenues and operation and maintenance include gross receipts taxes of $24 million and $28 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $45 million and $49 million, respectively.
Sales Taxes. We record sales taxes collected from our taxable retail energy segment customers and remitted to the various governmental entities on a net basis, thus there is no impact on our consolidated statements of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted Fair Value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is applicable for us beginning in 2008. It applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. We are currently in the process of determining the effects of the adoption, which could have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted Offsetting of Amounts. The FASB issued FSP FIN 39-1, an amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FIN 39), which addresses certain modifications to FIN 39 and whether a reporting entity that is a party to a master netting arrangement can offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments that have been offset under the same master netting arrangement. The effects of applying this interpretation are to be recognized as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application for all financial statements presented unless it is impracticable to do so.
4
Where derivative instruments are subject to a master netting arrangement and the accounting criteria to offset are met, we currently present our derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis. However, we currently do not offset collateral (net margin deposits) related to these derivatives. See note 2(d) to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K. Under FSP FIN 39-1, if we elect to continue to net our derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty (pursuant to master netting arrangements), we will be required to net such amounts against cash collateral amounts. However, if we choose to discontinue netting our derivative assets and liabilities and present our derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, cash collateral amounts will also be required to be presented on a gross basis. Upon adoption of this interpretation, we will be allowed to choose between either accounting policy to offset or not offset all fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements.
This interpretation is applicable for us beginning in 2008. We are currently in the process of determining which method we will apply and the adoption could have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheets.

During February 2007, the compensation committee of our board of directors granted stock-based compensation awards to 47 of our officers under the Reliant Energy, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The committee granted 429,221 time-based stock options (exercise price of $16.26 per share, which vest in three equal installments during February 2008, 2009 and 2010), 200,314 time-based restricted stock units (which vest during February 2010) and 345,358 performance-based cash units. Our common stock closed at $23 or higher for 20 consecutive trading days on June 1, 2007. Accordingly, all of the outstanding performance-based cash units (326,048) vested according to their terms and we recognized $8 million of expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 related to these units. In addition, during February 2007, the committee granted 126,790 time-based restricted stock units and 126,790 time-based cash units to other employees under the Reliant Energy, Inc. 2002 Stock Plan. These awards vest in February 2010.
No tax benefits related to stock-based compensation were realized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 due to our net operating loss carryforwards.

2007 Annual Goodwill Impairment Tests. We completed our annual goodwill impairment tests for our wholesale energy and retail energy reporting units effective April 1, 2007. No impairments occurred.

Estimation of Our Wholesale Energy Reporting Units Fair Value. We updated a number of subjective factors and significant assumptions to estimate fair value in our April 2007 test as compared to our April 2006 test, including (a) appropriate weighting of valuation approaches (income approach, market approach and comparable public company approach); (b) projections about future power generation margins; (c) estimates of our future cost structure; (d) environmental assumptions; (e) discount rates for estimated cash flows, which changed from 9% to 9.5% primarily due to capital structure changes of peer companies; (f) required level of working capital and (g) assumed EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiple for terminal values, which changed from 7.5 to 8.0 primarily due to market factors affecting peer company comparisons. See note 4(a) to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.
(5) Derivative Instruments
For discussion of our derivative activities, see notes 2(d) and 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K. The income (loss) of our energy and interest rate derivative instruments is:

(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $0 and during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $0 and $3 million loss, respectively, were recognized in our results of continuing operations as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur.
As of December 31, 2006, the maximum length of time we were hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows that may result from changes in commodity prices was six years. During the first quarter of 2007, we de-designated our remaining cash flow hedges; therefore, as of June 30, 2007, we have no cash flow hedges.

(b) Financing Activity.
2007 Financing Activity. We completed a refinancing in June 2007, the components of which included:
· Downsize of:
· $700 million to $500 million senior secured revolver and extension of maturity from 2009 to 2012, and
· $300 million to $250 million senior secured letter of credit facility and extension of maturity from 2010 to 2014;
· Issuance of:
· $575 million 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2014, and
· $725 million 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2017;
· Repayment of:
· $521 million 9.25% senior secured notes due 2010,
· $537 million 9.50% senior secured notes due 2013, and
· $400 million senior secured term loan due 2010.
Senior Secured Revolver and Letter of Credit Facility (the June 2007 credit facilities). We entered into the June 2007 credit facilities, which replaced the December 2006 credit facilities. The senior secured revolver bears interest at the London Inter Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75% or a base rate plus 0.75%. Our revolving credit facility and letter of credit facility provide for the issuance of up to $500 million and $250 million of letters of credit, respectively.
The June 2007 credit facilities restrict our ability to, among other actions, (a) encumber our assets, (b) enter into business combinations or divest our assets, (c) incur additional debt or engage in sale and leaseback transactions, (d) pay dividends or pay subordinated debt, (e) make investments or acquisitions, (f) enter into transactions with affiliates, (g) materially change our business, (h) repurchase capital stock or (i) utilize proceeds from asset sales. When there are any revolving loans or revolving letters of credit outstanding under our June 2007 credit facilities, we are required to achieve specified levels for the ratio of consolidated secured debt to adjusted net earnings (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (consolidated secured leverage ratio).
The June 2007 credit facilities are (a) guaranteed by some of our subsidiaries and (b) secured by the assets and stock of those subsidiaries, as well as the stock of RERH Holdings, LLC, REMA LLC and Orion Power Holdings, Inc. See note 11.
Senior Unsecured 7.625% and 7.875% Notes. In June 2007, we issued $575 million of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2014 and $725 million of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2017. These notes are unsecured obligations and not guaranteed. The unsecured notes restrict our ability to encumber our assets. Upon a change of control, the notes require, as do the 6.75% senior secured notes and the PEDFA guarantee, that an offer to purchase the notes be made at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount. The proceeds of this issuance were used to repay the tendered 9.25% and 9.50% senior secured notes and a portion of the senior secured term loan.
8
Senior Unsecured 9.25% and 9.50% Notes. In June 2007, we completed a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding 9.25% senior secured notes due 2010 and 9.50% senior secured notes due 2013. We also solicited consents to (a) amend the applicable indentures governing the notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, (b) amend certain events of default, (c) modify other provisions contained in the indentures and (d) release the collateral securing the notes. Approximately 94.81% of the 2010 note holders and 97.73% of the 2013 note holders accepted the tender offer and agreed to the consents. We paid a cash premium of $50 million and a consent solicitation fee of $21 million to the note holders who tendered during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
In July 2007, we called the remaining $29 million of our 2010 notes that were outstanding as of June 30, 2007. We used cash on hand to pay the $29 million and a $1 million call premium.
Deferred Financing Costs. We incur costs, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt, in connection with obtaining financings.

(c) Channelview.
We are considering various strategic alternatives with respect to our interest in Channelview, including selling our equity interests to a third party, refinancing all or a portion of Channelviews debt or placing Channelview in bankruptcy. There can be no assurances regarding the outcome of this process. As of June 30, 2007, Channelviews net property, plant and equipment is $362 million and its debt is $342 million. As of June 30, 2007, our net investment in the Channelview companies, before considering any income tax impacts, is approximately $60 million. Under Channelviews credit agreement, the partnership is required to maintain a working capital requirement of $14 million. This covenant is currently met by the commitments of the $14 million revolving working capital facility that matures by August 15, 2007. The lenders have not agreed to extend the commitments and we do not know whether the working capital requirement will be met. Failure to maintain the working capital requirement would constitute an event of default allowing Channelviews lenders to demand immediate payment. Due to these factors, we have classified the Channelview debt as a current liability as of June 30, 2007. Channelviews debt is non-recourse to Reliant Energy.

(1) Our changes to the federal valuation allowance are recorded at Reliant Energy, Inc.
(2) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded a deferred state tax benefit of $19 million to reflect the estimated cumulative change to deferred tax items as a result of the Texas law change. See note 11(f) to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.
(b) Valuation Allowances.
We assess quarterly our future ability to use federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. These assessments include an evaluation of our recent history of earnings and losses, future reversals of temporary differences and identification of other sources of future taxable income, including the identification of tax planning strategies in certain situations.

(1) During 2007, we submitted a revision to taxable income to the Internal Revenue Service filed in our 2003 federal income tax return, which resulted in an increase in our net deferred tax assets related to our net operating losses, which was offset by an increase in our valuation allowance of $19 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
(c) Adoption of FIN 48 and Tax Uncertainties.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (FIN 48). This interpretation addresses whether (and when) tax benefits claimed in our tax returns should be recorded in our financial statements. Pursuant to FIN 48, we may only recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more-likely-than-not that, based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained by taxing authorities or the courts. The recognized tax benefits are measured as the largest benefit having a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosures and related matters. We classify accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense/benefit.
11
In connection with the adoption, we recognized the following in our consolidated financial statements:

|
As of January 1, 2007, immediately after adoption, our consolidated balance sheet reflected $4 million for income tax uncertainties in long-term liabilities. Of the $4 million, $1 million relates to income taxes, $2 million relates to penalties and $1 million relates to interest. As of June 30, 2007, we have accrued $1 million for uncertain income tax positions (relating to income taxes) included in long-term liabilities.
Our income tax returns for the 1997 to 2005 tax reporting periods are under audit by federal and state taxing authorities. These audits may result in additional taxes, interest and penalties or revisions of the timing of tax payments. We do not currently estimate that our unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months.
(9) Guarantees and Indemnifications
We have guaranteed some non-qualified benefits of CenterPoints existing retirees at September 20, 2002. The estimated maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee was approximately $56 million as of June 30, 2007 and no liability is recorded in our consolidated balance sheets for this item.
In addition, we are also required to indemnify CenterPoint for certain liabilities relating to the initial public offering of our common stock.
We also guarantee the $500 million PEDFA bonds, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet as outstanding debt. Our guarantees are secured by guarantees from all of our subsidiaries that guarantee the June 2007 credit facilities. The guarantees require us to comply with covenants substantially identical to those in the 6.75% senior secured notes indenture. The PEDFA bonds will become secured by certain assets of our Seward power plant if the collateral supporting both the 6.75% senior secured notes and our guarantee is released. Our maximum potential obligation under the guarantee is for payment of the principal of $500 million and related interest charges at a fixed rate of 6.75%.
We have guaranteed payments to a third party relating to energy sales from El Dorado Energy, LLC, a former investment. The estimated maximum potential amount of future payments under this guarantee was approximately $21 million as of June 30, 2007 and no liability is recorded in our consolidated balance sheets for this item.
We enter into contracts that include indemnification and guarantee provisions. In general, we enter into contracts with indemnities for matters such as breaches of representations and warranties and covenants contained in the contract and/or against certain specified liabilities. Examples of these contracts include asset sales agreements, retail supply agreements, service agreements and procurement agreements.
In our debt agreements, we typically indemnify against liabilities that arise from the preparation, entry into, administration or enforcement of the agreement.
We are unable to estimate our maximum potential exposure under these provisions until an event triggering payment under these provisions occurs. We do not expect to make any material payments under these provisions.

(10) Contingencies
We are party to many legal proceedings, some of which may involve substantial amounts. Unless otherwise noted, we cannot predict the outcome of the matters described below. Other than as described below and in note 10 to our consolidated interim financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there have been no significant developments regarding the contingencies disclosed in note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.
(a) Legal Proceedings.
Pending Electricity and Natural Gas Litigation
The following proceedings relate to alleged conduct in the electricity and natural gas markets. In 2005 and 2006, we settled a number of proceedings that were pending in California and other Western states; however, a number of other proceedings remain pending.
Electricity Actions. We are party to one remaining lawsuit relating to our participation in alleged conduct to increase electricity prices in violation of antitrust laws, unfair competition laws and similar laws. The lawsuit seeks treble damages, restitution and expenses. The lawsuit is on appeal from an order of the United States District Court, District of Oregon that dismissed this case in our favor. We do not believe the appeal will materially impact the underlying 2005 settlement or other electricity lawsuits.
Natural Gas Actions. We are party to 27 lawsuits, several of which are class action lawsuits, in state and federal courts in California, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin. These lawsuits relate to alleged conduct to increase natural gas prices in violation of antitrust and similar laws. The lawsuits seek treble damages, restitution and/or expenses. The lawsuits also name a number of unaffiliated energy companies as parties. In July 2007, the cases pending in California were stayed pending a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in related cases on appeal.
One of the natural gas cases is a case filed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) in the California Superior Court in 2004. The lawsuit alleges that we conspired to manipulate natural gas prices in breach of our supply contract with LADWP and in violation of Californias antitrust laws and the California False Claims Act. The lawsuit seeks treble damages for the alleged overcharges (estimated to be $218 million) for gas purchased by LADWP, interest and legal costs. The lawsuit also seeks (a) a determination that an extension of the contract with LADWP was invalid in that the required municipal approvals for the extension were allegedly not obtained and (b) a return of all money paid by LADWP during that period (estimated to be $681 million).
PUCT Cases
There are various proceedings pending before the state district court in Travis County, Texas, seeking reviews of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) orders relating to the fuel factor component used in our price-to-beat tariff. These proceedings pertain to the same issues affirmed by a district court in Travis County and later by the Travis County Court of Appeals in 2004 in a separate proceeding.
Settlements
Criminal Proceeding Reliant Energy Services. In March 2007, Reliant Energy Services, Inc. entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement in resolution of its April 2004 indictment for alleged violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, wire fraud and conspiracy charges. As part of the agreement, Reliant Energy Services, Inc. paid and expensed a $22 million penalty in March 2007. The agreement has a term of two years.
(b) Environmental Matters.
New Source Review Matters. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various states are investigating compliance of coal-fueled electric generating stations with the New Source Review requirements of the Clean Air Act. The EPA has agreed to share information relating to its investigations with state environmental agencies. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the EPAs investigation. In November 2005, we received a notice of intent to sue pursuant to the Clean Air Act from the state of New Jersey relating to one of our power plants located in Pennsylvania. The allegations relate to conduct that occurred prior to our ownership of the power plant. If the state of New Jersey sues us and is successful, we could incur significant capital expenditures
13
associated with the implementation of emissions reductions on an accelerated basis and possible penalties. In February 2007, the state of New Jersey filed suit against the EPA to force a ruling on the petition filed by the state of New Jersey relating to renewal of an air permit for our plant. In June 2007, the EPA issued a ruling that denied New Jerseys petition and the New Jersey complaint was dismissed.
Ash Disposal Site Closures. We are responsible for environmental costs related to the future closures of seven ash disposal sites. Based on our evaluations with assistance from third-party consultants and engineers, we recorded the estimated discounted costs associated with these environmental liabilities as part of our asset retirement obligations. See note 2(p) to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.
Remediation Obligations. We are responsible for environmental costs related to site contamination investigations and remediation requirements at four power plants in New Jersey. Based on our evaluations with assistance from third-party consultants and engineers, we recorded the estimated liability for the remediation costs of $6 million and $7 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
New Castle Notice of Violation. In December 2006, we received a Notice of Violation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) regarding the elevation of the permitted coal ash landfill at our generating site in New Castle, Pennsylvania. In July 2007, we agreed to pay a penalty of $120,000 to the PADEP in settlement of this matter.
Avon Lake Emission Violation. In early 2007, we notified the EPA and the Ohio EPA that the nitrogen oxide level at one of our Avon Lake units exceeded the 2006 annual emission limit. In July 2007, we paid the EPA $268,000 in settlement of this matter. No monetary sanctions are due to the Ohio EPA.
Conemaugh Actions. In April 2007, the PADEP filed suit against us in the Court of Common Pleas of Indiana County, Pennsylvania. In addition, in April 2007, PennEnvironment and the Sierra Club filed a citizens suit against us in the United States District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania. Each suit alleges that the Conemaugh plant is in violation of its water discharge permit and related state and federal laws and seeks civil penalties, remediation and/or to enjoin violations. The Conemaugh plant is jointly owned by us and seven other companies and is governed by a consent order agreement with the PADEP. We are confident that the Conemaugh plant has operated and will continue to operate in material compliance with the consent order agreement, its water discharge permit and related state and federal laws. However, if PADEP or PennEnvironment and the Sierra Club are successful, we could incur significant capital expenditures associated with the implementation of discharge reductions on an accelerated basis and possible penalties.
Water Quality. In July 2007, the EPA suspended its regulations relating to cooling water intake structures at large existing power plants pending further rulemaking. This action was in response to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals January 2007 remand of the regulations. In issuing the suspension, the EPA retained interim requirements that associated intakes employ best technology available controls as determined on a plant-by-plant, best professional judgment basis.
(c) Other.
PUCT Complaint. A market participant has filed a complaint at the PUCT relating to the Electric Reliability Council of Texass (ERCOTs) procedure for allocating replacement reserve charges for 2006. We, along with other parties opposing complainants request for relief, filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaint. If the motion to dismiss is not granted and if the PUCT orders resettlement of the charges and depending on the method of resettlement, our share of the resettlement charges could be up to $25 million.
CenterPoint Indemnity. We have agreed to indemnify CenterPoint against certain losses relating to the lawsuits described in note 10(a) under Pending Electricity and Natural Gas Litigation Natural Gas Actions. We have also agreed to indemnify CenterPoint against losses relating to an alleged breach of fiduciary duties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act in a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and restitution. In January 2006, the court granted CenterPoints motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case with prejudice. The courts decision is on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Texas Franchise Audit. The state of Texas has issued preliminary audit findings indicating an estimated tax liability of approximately $75 million (excluding any interest and penalties) relating primarily to the sourcing of receipts for 2000 through 2005. We plan to contest any proposed audit assessment related to this issue. We cannot predict an outcome at this time.
14
Sales Tax Contingencies. We have some estimated sales tax exposure related to disputed tax-exempt customers. As of June 30, 2007, we have $29 million accrued in current and long-term liabilities relating to these contingencies.
(11) Supplemental Guarantor Information
Our wholly-owned subsidiaries are either (a) full and unconditional guarantors, jointly and severally, or (b) non-guarantors of the senior secured notes. Effective with the December 2006 refinancing and the credit-enhanced retail structure, RERH Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise our Texas retail energy business, became non-guarantors. We have retrospectively adjusted the information presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to be comparable to 2007.

(13) Discontinued Operations
New York Plants.
General. In February 2006, we closed on the sale of our three remaining New York plants with an aggregate net generating capacity of approximately 2,100 megawatts (MW) for $979 million. During the third quarter of 2005, we began to report the results of the New York plants as discontinued operations. These plants were a part of our wholesale energy segment.
Use of Proceeds. We applied $952 million of cash proceeds, which is net of estimated city, state and transfer taxes and transaction costs, to pay down our senior secured term loans.
Assumptions Related to Debt, Deferred Financing Costs and Interest Expense on Discontinued Operations. Based on our contractual obligation (at the time the purchase and sale agreement was executed) to utilize a portion of the net proceeds from the sale to prepay debt, we classified $638 million of debt as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2005 and through the date of sale. We also classified as discontinued operations the related deferred financing costs and interest expense on this debt. We allocated $15 million of related interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to discontinued operations. No interest was allocated to discontinued operations subsequent to the closing.
The following summarizes certain financial information of our New York plants discontinued operations:

Subsequent to the sale of our New York plants in February 2006, we continue to have insignificant settlements with the independent system operator. These amounts are classified as discontinued operations in our results of operations. In addition, we have some amounts on our consolidated balance sheets classified as discontinued operations relating to these settlements and other insignificant items.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K. This includes non-GAAP financial measures, which are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
We provide electricity and energy services to retail and wholesale customers through two business segments.
· Retail energy provides electricity and energy services to approximately 1.9 million retail electricity customers in Texas, including residential and small business customers and commercial, industrial and governmental/institutional customers. Our next largest market is the PJM Market, where we serve commercial, industrial and governmental/institutional customers. We regularly evaluate entering other markets.
· Wholesale energy provides electricity and energy services in the competitive wholesale energy markets in the United States through our ownership and operation or contracting for power generation capacity. As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately 16,000 MW of power generation capacity.
Key Earnings Drivers.
Retail Energy. The retail energy segment is a low capital investment electricity resale business with relatively stable earnings (excluding unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives). The key earnings drivers in the retail energy segment are the volume of electricity we sell to customers, the unit margins received on those sales and the cost of acquiring and serving those customers. We earn a margin by selling electricity to end-use customers and simultaneously acquiring supply. Short-term earnings in this business are impacted by local weather patterns and the competitive tactics of other retailers in the market. The longer-term earnings drivers of the business are the level of competitive intensity and our ability to retain and grow market share by having a strong brand and excellent customer service.
Wholesale Energy. The wholesale energy segment is a capital-intensive, cyclical business. Earnings are significantly impacted by the level of natural gas prices, spark spreads and capacity prices. The key earnings drivers are the amount of electricity we generate and the margin we earn for each unit of electricity sold. We do not control those factors that have the most significant impact on our earnings levels. The factor that we have the most control over is the percentage of time that our generating assets are available to run when it is economical for them to do so. Short-term earnings in our wholesale business are impacted by weather and commodity price volatility. Longer-term earnings are driven by the level of commodity prices and regional supply and demand fundamentals.
In this section, we present recent and potential events that have impacted or could in the future impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition to the events described below, a number of other factors could affect our future results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, including changes in natural gas prices, plant availability, retail energy customer growth, weather and other factors (see Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Form 10-K).
We completed a refinancing in June 2007 as an initial step towards creating a capital structure that gives us increased flexibility to direct cash flow and additional capital to those alternatives that we believe will create the greatest stockholder value. The 2007 refinancing included a tender offer and consent solicitation for our 9.25% and 9.50% senior secured notes totaling $1.1 billion. We (a) issued $1.3 billion of senior unsecured notes with 7- and 10-year maturities and (b) used cash on hand along with proceeds from senior unsecured notes to (i) fund the tender offer and consent solicitation, (ii) retire our $400 million term loan and (iii) call in July 2007 the 9.25% notes not tendered. In addition, we replaced our existing revolving credit facility and letter of credit facilities with a new $500 million revolving credit facility and $250 million letter of credit facility. For further discussion of the June 2007 refinancing, see note 6(b) to our interim financial statements.
25
We are evaluating various alternatives to address restrictions remaining in our 6.75% senior secured notes and our tax-exempt PEDFA bonds.
We believe the results of the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) capacity auctions in 2007 support our view of tightening supply and demand in the wholesale energy business. RPM is a model utilized by the PJM Interconnection, LLC to meet load serving entities forecasted capacity obligations via a forward-looking commitment of capacity resources.
Other
There were no major legislative changes to the Texas regulatory model coming out of the 2007 legislative session. The minor legislation concerning electricity related matters that was passed during the 2007 session is not expected to have a material impact on our future results of operations.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
We reported $(283) million consolidated net loss, or $(0.83) loss per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $14 million consolidated net income, or $0.05 earnings per diluted share, for the same period in 2006.

Retail Energy Segment.
In analyzing the results of our retail energy segment, we use the non-GAAP financial measures retail gross margin and retail contribution margin, as well as our retail energy segment profit and loss measure, contribution margin, including unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives. Retail gross margin and retail contribution margin should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The item that is excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures has a recurring effect on our earnings and reflects aspects of our business that are not taken into account by this measure.
Unrealized Gains/Losses on Energy Derivatives. We use derivative instruments to manage operational or market constraints and to execute our retail energy segments supply procurement strategy. We are required to record in our consolidated statement of operations non-cash gains/losses related to future periods based on current changes in forward commodity prices for derivative instruments receiving mark-to-market accounting treatment. We refer to these gains and losses prior to settlement, as well as ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges, as unrealized
26
gains/losses on energy derivatives. In substantially all cases, the underlying transactions being hedged receive accrual accounting treatment, resulting in a mismatch of accounting treatments. Since the application of mark-to-market accounting has the effect of pulling forward into current periods non-cash gains/losses relating to and reversing in future delivery periods, analysis of results of operations from one period to another can be difficult. We believe that excluding these unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives provides a more meaningful representation of our economic performance in the reporting period and is therefore useful to us, investors, analysts and others in facilitating the analysis of our results of operations from one period to another.
Our retail energy segments contribution margin, including unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives was $(234) million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $271 million in the same period of 2006. The $505 million decrease was primarily due to the net change in unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives of $394 million and a $110 million decrease in retail gross margin. See Retail Energy Margins below for explanations.

(1) Decrease primarily due to (a) lower volumes driven by (i) a decrease in average customer usage due in part to milder weather and (ii) fewer number of customers and (b) lower unit margins (lower sales prices partially offset by lower costs of purchased power at the time of procurement).
(2) Decrease primarily due to lower unit margins (higher costs of purchased power at the time of procurement, partially offset by higher revenue rates).
(3) The revenues and the related energy supply costs in our retail energy segment include our estimates of customer usage based on initial usage information provided by the independent system operators and the distribution companies. We revise these estimates and record any changes in the period as additional settlement information becomes available (collectively referred to as market usage adjustments).
(4) Previously titled Adjusted retail gross margin.
(5) Decrease primarily due to (a) $368 million loss due to changes in prices on our derivatives marked to market and (b) $75 million of decreased gains on energy derivatives which settled during the period.
(6) Retail energy segment profit and loss measure.
Wholesale Energy Segment.
In analyzing the results of our wholesale energy segment, we use the non-GAAP financial measures open energy gross margin, open wholesale gross margin and wholesale open contribution margin, which exclude the items described below, as well as our wholesale energy segment profit and loss measure, contribution margin, including historical and operational wholesale hedges and unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives. Open energy gross margin, open wholesale gross margin and wholesale open contribution margin should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures have or have had a recurring effect on our earnings and reflect aspects of our business that are not taken into account by these measures.
Historical and Operational Wholesale Hedges. We exclude the effect of certain historical, although recurring until the contracts terminate, wholesale hedges that were entered into in order to hedge the economics of a portion of our wholesale operations. These amounts primarily relate to settlements of forward power hedges, long-term tolling purchases, long-term natural gas transportation contracts not serving our generation assets and our legacy energy trading. We also exclude the effect of certain on-going operational wholesale hedges that were entered into primarily to mitigate certain operational risks at our generation assets. These amounts primarily relate to settlements of fuel hedges, long-term natural gas transportation contracts and storage contracts. Operational wholesale hedges are derived based on methodology consistent with the calculation of open energy gross margin. We believe that it is useful to us, investors, analysts and others to show our results in the absence of both historical and operational hedges. The impact of these hedges on our financial results is not a function of the operating performance of our generation assets and excluding the impact better reflects the operating performance of our generation assets based on prevailing market conditions.
Unrealized Gains/Losses on Energy Derivatives. We use derivative instruments to manage operational or market constraints and to increase the return on our generation assets. We are required to record in our consolidated statement of operations non-cash gains/losses related to future periods based on current changes in forward commodity prices for derivative instruments receiving mark-to-market accounting treatment. We refer to these gains and losses prior to settlement, as well as ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges, as unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives. In some cases, the underlying transactions being hedged receive accrual accounting treatment,
30
resulting in a mismatch of accounting treatments. Since the application of mark-to-market accounting has the effect of pulling forward into current periods non-cash gains/losses relating to and reversing in future delivery periods, analysis of results of operations from one period to another can be difficult. We believe that excluding these unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives provides a more meaningful representation of our economic performance in the reporting period and is therefore useful to us, investors, analysts and others in facilitating the analysis of our results of operations from one period to another. These gains/losses are also not a function of the operating performance of our generation assets, and excluding their impact helps isolate the operating performance of our generation assets under prevailing market conditions.
Our wholesale energy segments contribution margin, including historical and operational wholesale hedges and unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives was $122 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $(13) million in the same period of 2006. The $135 million increase was primarily due to (a) $62 million increase in open wholesale gross margin, (b) a reduced negative effect of historical and operational wholesale hedges of $59 million and (c) $16 million change in unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives. See Wholesale Energy Margins below for explanations.

(1) Open energy gross margin is calculated using the power sales prices received by the plants less delivered spot fuel prices. This figure excludes the effects of other margin and our historical and operational wholesale hedges.
(2) Increase primarily due to higher unit margins (higher power prices) and higher commercial capacity factor primarily due to lower planned outages in 2007.
(3) Increase primarily due to higher unit margins (higher power prices and lower fuel costs) and higher economic generation. These increases were partially offset by lower commercial capacity factor primarily due to higher planned outages in 2007.
(4) Increase primarily due to higher unit margins (higher power prices partially offset by higher fuel costs) in Texas.
(5) Other margin represents power purchase agreements, capacity payments, ancillary revenues and selective commercial hedge strategies.
(6) Increase primarily due to ancillary services and RPM capacity payments.
(7) Increase primarily due to RPM capacity payments and a reliability-must-run contract entered into in May 2006.
(8) Decrease primarily due to (a) fewer selective commercial hedge activities and (b) lower revenue from power purchase agreements. These decreases were partially offset by higher capacity payments.
(9) Decrease primarily due to lower revenue from power purchase agreements in Texas.
(10) Increase primarily due to (a) $44 million in higher margins on natural gas transportation and storage contracts and (b) $10 million of decreases in losses on closed and settled power hedges.
(11) Increase primarily due to $21 million in gains on energy derivatives which settled during the period.
(12) Wholesale energy segment profit and loss measure.

(1) Increase primarily due to the 2006 margins including impacts from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which resulted in (a) a phase in of our price-to-beat rate increase and (b) entering into hedges for the expected first quarter 2006 load during a period of high and volatile natural gas prices in the fourth quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by (a) $19 million realized income in 2006 from terminated and subsequent replacement contracts and (b) negative impacts to the second quarter of 2007 due to (i) lower volumes driven by a decrease in average customer usage due in part to milder weather and fewer number of customers and (ii) lower unit margins (lower unit sales prices, partially offset by lower costs of purchased power at the time of procurement).
(2) Decrease primarily due to (a) $26 million realized income in 2006 from terminated and subsequent replacement contracts and (b) lower units margins (higher costs of purchased power at the time of procurement).
(3) Increase primarily due to $16 million from increases in salaries, contract services and professional fees, partially offset by $4 million from decreases in gross receipts taxes.
(4) Increase primarily due to additional marketing campaigns.
(5) Increase primarily due to (a) $110 million of increased gains on energy derivatives which settled during the period, (b) $71 million of decreased losses from cash flow hedge ineffectiveness and (c) $51 million of decreased losses resulting from the termination of commodity contracts with a counterparty.
Wholesale Energy Segment.
Our wholesale energy segments contribution margin, including historical and operational wholesale hedges and unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives was $80 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $65 million in the same period of 2006. The $15 million increase was primarily due to a reduced negative effect of historical and operational wholesale hedges of $146 million and a $74 million increase in open wholesale gross margin. These increases were partially offset by net change in unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives of $165 million and a $40 million increase in operation and maintenance and bad debt expenses. See Wholesale Energy Margins below for explanations.

(1) Increase primarily due to (a) higher unit margins (higher power prices) and (b) higher economic generation. These increases were partially offset by lower commercial capacity factor primarily due to higher planned outages in 2007.
(2) Increase primarily due to (a) higher economic generation and (b) higher unit margins (higher power prices and lower fuel costs). These increases were partially offset by lower commercial capacity factor primarily due to higher planned outages in 2007.
(3) Increase primarily due to higher unit margins (higher power prices partially offset by higher fuel costs) in Texas.
(4) Increase primarily due to ancillary services and RPM capacity payments.
(5) Increase primarily due to (a) RPM capacity payments and (b) a reliability-must-run contract entered into in May 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In June 2007, we refinanced a significant portion of our senior secured debt. See Business Overview Recent Events and note 6 to our interim financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we generated $24 million in operating cash flows from continuing operations including the changes in margin deposits of $113 million (cash inflow) and $57 million in payments relating to the Western states and similar settlements (cash outflow). See Historical Cash Flows for further detail of our cash flows from operating activities and explanation around our $88 million use of cash from investing activities and $231 million use of cash from financing activities.
For discussion related to Channelview and its debt, see note 6(c) to our interim financial statements.
As of July 25, 2007, we had total available liquidity of $701 million, comprised of unused borrowing capacity, letters of credit capacity and cash and cash equivalents. Of this amount, $300 million is only available to our Texas retail business.

Credit Risk
By extending credit to our counterparties, we are exposed to credit risk. As of June 30, 2007, our derivative assets and accounts receivable from our wholesale energy and ERCOT power supply counterparties, after taking into consideration netting within each contract and any master netting contracts with counterparties, are:

(1) The table excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchase/normal sale and non-derivative contractual commitments that are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheets, except for any related accounts receivable. Such contractual commitments contain credit and economic risk if a counterparty does not perform. Nonperformance could have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As of June 30, 2007, two non-investment grade counterparties and one investment grade counterparty represented 48% ($310 million) and 17% ($108 million), respectively, of our credit exposure. As of December 31, 2006, two non-investment grade counterparties represented 53% ($359 million) of our credit exposure. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held no collateral from these counterparties. There were no other counterparties representing greater than 10% of our credit exposure.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest Rate Risk
We remain subject to the benefits or losses associated with movements in market interest rates related to a portion ($267 million as of June 30, 2007) of our debt and certain margin deposits, which are most vulnerable to changes in LIBOR and the prime rate.
We assess interest rate risks using a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential change in our interest expense based on a hypothetical one percentage point movement in the underlying variable interest rate indices. If interest rates increased/decreased by one percentage point, our interest expense would have increased/decreased for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 by $9 million and $15 million, respectively, and our interest expense, net of interest income, would have increased/decreased by $4 million and $8 million, respectively.
We estimated these amounts by considering the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on our variable-rate debt adjusted for: cash and cash equivalents and net margin deposits outstanding at the respective balance sheet dates.
If interest rates decreased by one percentage point from their June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 levels, the fair market values of our fixed-rate debt would have increased by $221 million and $189 million, respectively.
