Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
||
To the Participants and Administrator of |
||
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") at December 30, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. |
||
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. |

CONECTIV SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements |
||
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). |
||
General On March 1, 1998, Atlantic Energy, Inc., the former parent company of Atlantic City Electric Company, and Delmarva Power & Light Company consummated a merger transaction to form Conectiv (the "Merger Transaction"). As a consequence of the Merger Transaction, the Plan was renamed from Delmarva Power & Light Company Savings and Thrift Plan and the Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - A (Management) to Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan effective July 1, 1998. In addition, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") Accounts in the Plan result from the merger, as of November 1, 1998, of the Delmarva Power & Light Company Payroll Based Employer Stock Ownership Plan and the Atlantic City Electric Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan with the Plan. |
||
On February 9, 2001, the Boards of Directors of Conectiv and Potomac Electric Power Company ("Pepco") approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger") under which Pepco would acquire Conectiv for a combination of cash and stock and Conectiv and Pepco would become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pepco Holdings, Inc. Under the Merger, holders of Conectiv common stock and Conectiv Class A common stock were permitted to exchange their shares for cash, Pepco Holdings, Inc. common stock, or a combination of cash and Pepco Holdings Inc. common stock. Those electing cash would have their funds transferred to the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust. Upon the deposit of a participant's funds into the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust, the participant then had the option to either leave those funds in the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust or reallocate those funds to an election of the participant's choice. The Merger between Conectiv and Pepco was effective as of August 1, 2002. |
||
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company ("VFTC") serves as the Plan's trustee. |
||
Contributions |
||
Participants may contribute from 1% to 20% of their base pay, not to exceed the maximum allowable under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), with the Company contributing a matching amount equal to 50% of each participant's contributions up to 6% of the base pay of any participant who is a Non-Bargaining Unit Employee or up to 5% of the base pay of any participant who is a Local 1238 Employee or a Local 1307 Employee. The Company may make its matching contribution, either by contribution of cash to purchase the Company's common stock or with newly issued or purchased shares of the Company's common stock. The Plan includes a 401(k) option, which allows participants to defer income taxes on their before-tax contributions until such contributions and earnings are withdrawn from the Plan. Participants may elect to contribute on an after-tax or before-tax basis and to invest their contributions among the twelve registered investment company mutual funds and one collective trust at their discretion, in increments of 5%. Participant contributions can not be made to the Pepco Holdings, Inc. common stock fund. Dividends earned on the Company |
||
|
||
_____________________________________________________________________________ |
common stock invested for the benefit of the participants is reinvested in Company common stock, which may, at the Company's option, be purchased by the Plan trustee on the open market or from the Company. A participant who is at least 55 years old with at least 10 years of service and who has been a participant of the Plan and/or prior Plans for 5 years may direct a percentage of his common stock balance, with certain limitations, to be transferred to any investment fund or funds available. |

Payment of Benefits |
||
While employed, a participant may make certain withdrawals upon written notice of basic and supplemental contributions for the reason of financial hardship, as defined in the Plan. Hardship withdrawals must be approved by the Committee. At the age of 59-1/2, the participant may withdraw any portion of this basic and supplemental contribution amounts. Before-tax contributions, Company matching and supplemental contributions, and all investment earnings are fully taxable upon distribution to the participant. Special lump-sum distribution rules apply for full plan withdrawals made after age 59-1/2. A 10% surtax, as well as a 20% mandatory withholding, is applicable to taxable withdrawals and distributions prior to age 59-1/2, subject to certain exceptions. |
||
|
||
_____________________________________________________________________________ |
After making a hardship withdrawal of before-tax contributions, a participant is prohibited from making contributions or receiving Company matching contributions for a period of one year. A participant with less than 60 months of Plan participation will incur a six-month suspension period upon making any withdrawal of his or her after-tax contributions. During this suspension period, no matching contributions will be credited to the participant's account. Participants with 60 or more months of Plan participation will incur a six-month suspension of Company contributions, only when part of the Company's contributions are withdrawn. |
||
Plan Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. |
||
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following accounting policies, which conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been used consistently in the preparation of the Plan's financial statements: |
||
Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. |
||
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for investment contracts, which are valued at contract value. Common stock is valued at quoted market prices. Shares of registered investment companies mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Shares of collective trust funds are valued at net asset value. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. |
||
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income. |
||
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments, which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. |
||
Risks and Uncertainties The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment |
||
|
||
_____________________________________________________________________________ |
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. |
|||
Payment of Benefits |
|||
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT CONTRACTS The Plan invests in guaranteed investment contracts through the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is a tax-exempt collective trust registered in the State of Pennsylvania, which invests primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance companies and commercial banks, and similar types of fixed-principal investments. The Trust intends to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit. |
