INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Exelon Corporation
Employee Savings Plan Committee:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the EXELON CORPORATON EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN (the "Plan") as of December 31,
2002 and 2001, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the EXELON
CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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.
Our audits were made 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 as of December 31, 2002 is presented for purposes 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, as amended. This 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.

EXELON CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
----------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
(1) Description of Plan. The following description of the Exelon Corporation
Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes
only. The official text of the Plan, as amended, should be read for more
complete information.
a. General. The Plan was established by Commonwealth Edison
Company, effective March 1, 1983, to provide a systematic savings program for
eligible employees and to supplement such savings with employer contributions.
On March 30, 2001 the Commonwealth Edison Employee Savings and Investment Plan
was combined with the PECO Energy Company Employee Savings Plan to become the
Exelon Corporation Employee Savings Plan. The Plan is subject to the applicable
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Plan provides generally that any regular employee of Exelon
Corporation (the "Corporation") and any other affiliated company that adopts the
Plan with the consent of the Corporation is eligible to elect to participate in
the Plan. There were 23,872 and 24,532 participants in the Plan at December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Corporation is the administrator of the Plan ("Plan
Administrator") and has the sole authority to appoint and remove members of the
Plan committee, the trustee, and any investment manager which may be provided
for under the trust. The Plan committee has the responsibility for day-to-day
administration of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plan
trustee ("Trustee") and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company,
Inc. is the Plan recordkeeper.
b. Contributions. The Plan permits salaried and non-union hourly
employees to contribute between 1% and 20% of their normal base pay each pay
period on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis or a combination of the two. For
Exelon subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan on behalf of their salaried and
non-union hourly employees, the company matches contributions at a rate of 100%
of the first 5% of contributions (whether pre-tax or after-tax).
The Plan permits union-represented employees to contribute between
1% and 15% of the sum of their normal base pay plus certain overtime on a
pre-tax basis and between 1% and 10% on an after-tax basis. Although the Plan
permits contributions of up to 15% of base pay on a pre-tax basis and up to 10%
of base pay on an after-tax basis, the combined maximum employee contributions
may not exceed 20%. For Exelon subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan on behalf
of their union employees, the company matches contributions at a rate of 100% of
the first 2% contributed, 84% of the following 1% contributed, 83% of the
following 2% contributed, and 25% of the following 1% contributed.
Effective August 1, 2002, during any calendar year in which
participants attain age 50 or older, they may elect to make additional pre-tax
contributions, called "catch-up" contributions to the Plan. In order to be
eligible to make catch-up contributions, participants must anticipate that their
Plan pre-tax contributions will reach the applicable annual IRS limit on that
type of contribution or be contributing at the maximum base pay level.
c. Investment Options. The Plan investments are fully participant
directed. The investment options provided under the Plan are described as
follows:
The Exelon Corporation Stock Fund seeks to increase the value of
each account over the long term by investing in Exelon Corporation common stock
and short-term investments. The amount of the short-term investments is based
upon a target established by the Plan sponsor, but the actual amount

in a collection of other Fidelity mutual funds. Each Freedom Fund invests in a
combination of underlying Fidelity stock, bond, and money market mutual funds.
The allocation strategy among the underlying stock, bond, and money market
mutual funds contained in each Freedom Fund with a target retirement date is
based on the number of years until a participant's anticipated retirement. For
the funds with a target retirement date, the mix of underlying funds will
gradually become more conservative over time.

a secondary objective, some capital appreciation for those already in

with high credit ratings known as money market instruments. These securities are
issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, governments, banks and U.S. agencies

stocks. The fund invests in stocks that comprise the BGI Extended Market Index

Stanley Capital International in the EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) Index.

The Index is a broad unmanaged index that measures the aggregate performance of
the U.S. market for investment-grade bonds.
d. Discontinued Funds. The following funds were discontinued as of
April 30, 2002: U.S. Equity Index Commingled Pooled, White Oak Growth Fund, and
the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Fund. The assets were transferred to the
other various funds described above.
e. Participant Loans. A participant may, upon application, borrow
from the Plan. Only one loan is permitted to a participant in any calendar year
(with a maximum of five loans outstanding at any time) and the loan shall not be
less than $1,000. The aggregate amount of all outstanding loans may not exceed
the lesser of (i) 50% of a participant's vested balance in the Plan or, (ii)
$50,000 minus the excess of the highest outstanding balance of all loans from
the Plan to the participant during the previous 12-month period over the
outstanding balance of all loans from the Plan to the participant on the day the
loan is made. For a general purpose loan, the maximum period is five years. For
a home loan the maximum term is fifteen years, and the minimum is five years.
The interest rate on all loans is the prime rate for commercial loans plus 1%.
No lump-sum or installment distribution from the Plan will be made to a
participant who has received a loan, or to a beneficiary of any such
participant, until the loan, including interest, has been repaid out of the
funds otherwise distributable.
f. Vesting of Participants' Accounts. A participant's after-tax
contributions account, before-tax contributions account, employer matching
contributions account, and rollover account are fully vested at all times.
g. Withdrawals by Participants While Employed. A participant may
withdraw up to the entire balance of the participant's after-tax contributions
account once each calendar year. After making such a withdrawal, the participant
must wait six months before making a new election to resume contributions to the
Plan. A participant may also withdraw up to an amount equal to the balance in
his or her rollover account.
A participant may make withdrawals from the participant's
before-tax contributions, but only if the participant has attained age 59-1/2
or, prior to that age, only in an amount required to alleviate financial
hardship as defined in the Code and regulations thereunder. Financial hardship
withdrawals from a before-tax contributions account suspend the participant's
right to make contributions to the Plan for six months.
While any loan to the participant remains outstanding, the amount
available for withdrawal shall be the balance in such account less the balance
of all outstanding loans.
h. Distributions upon Termination of Employment. Upon termination
of employment, retirement, total disability or death of a participant,
distribution of the balances of the participant's after-tax contributions
account, before-tax contributions account, rollover account and employer
matching contributions account is made to the participant or, in the event of
the participant's death, to the participant's designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries. Such distribution will be made, as elected by the participant, in
the form of either a lump-sum payment or in substantially equal annual
installments over a period not exceeding the lesser of 15 years or the life
expectancy of the participant or beneficiary, as the case may be. A participant
may elect to defer distributions until age 70-1/2. If the value of a
participant's
9
EXELON CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
----------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------
account is greater than $5,000 the participant can leave his or her account in
the plan. Distributions will be taxed as ordinary income in the year withdrawn
and may also be subject to an early withdrawal penalty if taken before age 59
1/2, unless eligible rollover distributions are rolled over to another qualified
plan or an IRA. A 20% mandatory federal income tax withholding applies to
withdrawals that are eligible for rollover, but which are not directly rolled
over to another qualified plan or an IRA.
i. Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses for
recordkeeping services as well as trustee services, which include custodial,
administrative and fiduciary services, are paid out of the Plan assets.
j. Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited
with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of
administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or
account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
k. Reclassifications. Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified
to conform to 2002 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the
net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2001.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The significant accounting
policies followed by the Plan are as follows:
a. General. The Plan follows the accrual method of accounting for
recording contributions from participants and employers, income from
investments, purchases and sales of investments, and administrative expenses.
Benefits are recorded when paid.
b. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan
administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those
estimates.
c. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition. The Plan presents
in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits the net
appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists
of the realized gain (loss) on the sale of securities and the unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments.
Guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit responsive and
are reported at contract value, which is cost plus accrued interest; for
synthetic investment contracts, contract value is equal to the fair value of the
collateral plus the benefit responsive wrap value.
Investments in Exelon Corporation Common Stock are valued at the
closing sales price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.
10
EXELON CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
----------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------
Short-term investments held by various institutional funds of the
UBS Global Asset Management Trust Company are stated at cost which approximates
current value. Investments in certain of the various funds that make up the UBS
Multi-Asset Portfolio are valued at the latest reported sale price on the
valuation date used for securities traded on United States and foreign stock
exchanges. Investments valued in foreign currencies are converted into U.S.
dollars based on quoted foreign exchange rates on that date and are valued at
the latest quoted bid price or at estimated current value as determined by the
fund trustee.
Investments of registered securities are valued at the last sale
price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost
or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair
value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
on the ex-dividend date.
d. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to establish accounting and
reporting standards for derivatives. SFAS No. 133 was subsequently amended by
SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. These new standards require that all derivatives
be recognized at their fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet and specify the accounting for changes in fair value depending upon the
intended use of the derivative. The Plan was required to adopt SFAS No. 133, as
amended, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
(3) Net Appreciation/Depreciation of Investments. During 2002 and 2001, the
Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold,
as well as held during the year) appreciated/(depreciated) in value as follows:

(4) Investments. The current values of the Plan's investments at December 31,
2002 and 2001, which represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets, are
summarized as follows:
2002 2001
---- -----
Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II $224,024,411 $277,550,439
UBS Collective Investment
Trust, Multi Asset Portfolio Fund 155,999,960 167,140,136
Exelon Corporation Common Stock 119,920,775 112,994,136
Fidelity Magellan Fund 143,155,225 193,440,584
Fidelity Growth Company Fund 166,097,506 243,554,370
Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Commingled Pool - 165,086,228
BGI Equity Index T Fund 112,827,032 -
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund 112,395,883 141,508,736
Legg Mason Value Trust Institutional Shares 188,387,040 249,075,664
Fidelity Contrafund 128,875,927 148,202,380
PIMCO Total Return Fund - Inst. Class 98,193,027 -
(5) Investment Contracts. In 2002 and prior years, the Plan entered into several
benefit-responsive investment contracts with various insurance companies and
other financial institutions. The contract providers maintain the contributions
in a general account. Some investment contracts are purchased in conjunction
with the investment by the Plan in fixed-income securities. Investment contracts
provide for the payment of a specified rate of interest. The account is credited
with earnings at the specified rate and charged for participant withdrawals and
administrative expenses. The contracts are included in the financial statements
at contract value, as reported to the Plan by the contract providers. Contract
value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less
participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Plan participants may
ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their
investment at contract value.
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of
the contract issuer or otherwise. The weighted average yield for all such
contracts was approximately 5.9 percent for 2002 and 5.7 percent for 2001. The
crediting interest rate was 6.0 percent at December 31, 2002 and 2001. The
crediting interest rate generally cannot be less than the contract rate.
(6) Investments in Derivative Financial Instruments. The UBS Collective
Investment Trust, Multi-Asset Portfolio Fund and some of the funds in which it
invests participate in various equity index futures contracts and foreign
currency contracts. The assets of this fund are invested as follows: 51%
equities, 22% bonds, 10% real estate, 11% derivatives, and 6% venture capital. A
futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on
a specified future date at an agreed upon price. Risks of entering into futures
contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that
changes in the value of the contracts may not correlate with changes in the
value of the underlying securities. Open futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
These contracts are marked to market daily with the resulting gain or loss
included in the net realized gain or loss from futures contracts.
A forward exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a
foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated
with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.
12

----------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------
The contracts are valued at foreign exchange rates, and the changes in value of
open contracts are recognized as unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The
realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts represents the difference
between the value of the original contracts and the closing value of such
contracts.
Similarly, some or all of the Fidelity funds, the Morgan Stanley
International Equity Portfolio, and the BGI EAFE Equity Index Fund-Class K may
use (1) foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign
securities and to manage the fund's currency exposure and (2) futures and
options contracts to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to
fluctuations in the interest rates and currency values. Such funds also may
invest in indexed securities whose values are linked either directly or
inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities,
indices, or other underlying instruments.
(7) Risks and Uncertainties. The Plan provides for various investment options in
several investment securities and instruments, including common stock of Exelon
Corporation. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risks associated
with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially
affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement
of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits. No collateral or other security is required by the
Trustee to collateralize these financial statements.
(8) Income Tax Status. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a
determination letter that the Plan, as amended and restated January 1, 1995, is
a qualified plan under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code, and the Trust
established under the Plan, as in effect as of the amendments of January 1,
1995, is tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Although the Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator and the
Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore,
they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as
of the financial statement date.
(9) Plan Amendments. If a participant invests any portion of his or her account
in the Exelon Corporation Stock Fund and is eligible to receive dividend
distributions from the Plan, then effective January 1, 2002, the participant is
deemed to have elected to have the dividends reinvested in the Exelon
Corporation Stock fund. If the participant prefers to receive any such dividends
in cash, he or she can so elect by contacting Fidelity. Dividends distributed to
the participant in cash from the Plan are subject to income tax as a dividend,
and affected participants will receive an IRS Form 1099DIV for the dividends in
the year following receipt (Form 1099R if participants take a full distribution
of their Plan accounts).
(10) Plan Termination. The Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by the
Corporation at any time, subject to certain rights of participants under the
Plan. The Plan may also be terminated if the Plan is disqualified by the IRS.
Termination of the Plan with respect to a participating employer may occur if
there is no successor employer in the event of dissolution, merger,
consolidation or reorganization of such employer company. In the event of full
or partial termination of the Plan, assets of affected participants of the
terminating employer or employers shall remain 100% vested and distributable at
fair market value in the form of cash, securities or annuity contracts, in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Corporation has no current
intentions of terminating the Plan.

(12) Related Party Transactions. Investment options in the Plan include mutual
funds managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Trustee as defined by
the Plan. Also, the Plan holds shares of Exelon Corporation common stock. These
transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. There have been
no known prohibited transactions with a party-in-interest.
