DYNEGY INC. and DYNEGY HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Note 1—Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the SEC.  These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Dynegy’s and DHI’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed on February 25, 2010, which we refer to as each registrant’s “Form 10-K”.
 
The December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, as adjusted for the 1-for-5 reverse stock split of Dynegy’s common stock that became effective on May 25, 2010.  Please read Note 15—Capital Stock for further discussion.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  The results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period due to seasonal fluctuations in demand for our energy products and services, changes in commodity prices, timing of maintenance and other expenditures and other factors.  The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make informed estimates and judgments that affect our reported financial position and results of operations.  These estimates and judgments also impact the nature and extent of disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities based on currently available information.  We review significant estimates and judgments affecting our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments.  Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and judgments are inherent in the preparation of financial statements.  Estimates and judgments are used in, among other things, (i) developing fair value assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows and discount rates, (ii) analyzing tangible and intangible assets for possible impairment, (iii) estimating the useful lives of our assets, (iv) assessing future tax exposure and the realization of tax assets, (v) determining amounts to accrue for contingencies, guarantees and indemnifications, (vi) estimating various factors used to value our pension assets and liabilities and (vii) determining the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs from a set of related parties.  Actual results could differ materially from any such estimates.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current year presentation.
 
Short-Term Investments.  Short-term investments consist of highly liquid investments, primarily U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency and corporate debt securities, with original maturities over three months from the date of purchase.  Our investment policy restricts investments to high credit quality investments with limits on the length to maturity and the amount invested with any one issuer.  Debt securities which we have the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost, net of unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts, which approximates fair value.  At June 30, 2010, we did not hold any short-term investments that were classified as held-to-maturity.
 
Debt securities not held-to-maturity are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, resulting from changes in fair value are recorded as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss).
 
            Declines in the value of individual equity securities that are considered other than temporary result in write-downs to the individual securities to their fair value and the write-downs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Declines in debt securities held-to-maturity and available for sale, that are considered other than temporary, result in write-downs when it is more likely than not that we will sell the securities before we recover our cost.  If we do not intend to sell an impaired debt security but do not expect to recover its cost, we determine whether a credit loss exists, and if so, the credit loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and any remaining impairment is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss). The review for other-than-temporary declines considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery.

We consider all available for sale securities, including those with maturity dates beyond twelve months, as available to support current operational liquidity needs and therefore classify these securities as short-term investments within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.  As of June 30, 2010, Dynegy and DHI held $305 million and $290 million, respectively, of available for sale securities with maturity dates within one year.  Of these amounts, $86 million is included in the Broker margin account on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
Interest on securities, including the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, is reported in Other income and expense, net using the interest method over the lives of the securities, adjusted for actual prepayments.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and recognized using the specific identification method and reported in Other income and expense, net.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Accounting Principle Adopted

Variable Interest Entities.  On January 1, 2010, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17—Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU No. 2009-17”).  This guidance replaces the previous quantitative-based analysis for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity with a framework that is based on qualitative judgments.  The new guidance identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the party that both: (i) has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) has an obligation to absorb losses or a right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.  As a result of applying this guidance, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of PPEA Holding Company, LLC (“PPEA Holding”) because we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PPEA Holding’s economic performance.  The activities that most significantly impact PPEA Holding’s economic performance are changes to the costs to complete the facility, modifications to the off-take agreements, and/or changes in the financing structure.  As PPEA Holding’s LLC Agreement currently requires that those activities be approved by all members, the power to direct these activities is shared with the other owners of PPEA Holding and the participants in the 665 MW coal-fired power generation facility (the “Plum Point Project”).  We have historically consolidated PPEA Holding in our consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 resulted in a deconsolidation of our investment in PPEA Holding, which resulted in the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $41 million ($25 million after tax), which was recorded as an increase in Accumulated deficit on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2010.  This pre-tax charge reflects the difference in the assets, liabilities and equity (including Other comprehensive loss) that we have historically included in our consolidated balance sheets and the carrying value of the equity investment and related accumulated other comprehensive loss that we would have recorded had we accounted for our investment in PPEA Holding as an equity method investment since April 2, 2007, the date we acquired an interest in PPEA Holding.  On January 1, 2010, we recorded an equity investment of approximately $19 million and accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $29 million ($17 million after tax).  The $19 million equity investment balance at January 1, 2010 reflects the fair value of our investment at that date, after an other than temporary pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $32 million that would have been recorded in 2009 had we accounted for our investment in PPEA Holding as an equity investment at that time.  Our assessment of the fair value of our investment in PPEA Holding at January 1, 2010 reflects the risk associated with PPEA Holding’s financing arrangement at that date.  Please read Note 6— Fair Value Measurements for further discussion about the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our investment as of January 1, 2010.  Please read Note 17—Debt—Plum Point (including PPEA Credit Agreement Facility and PPEA Tax Exempt Bonds) and Note 14—Variable Interest Entities—PPEA Holding Company, LLC in our Form 10-K for further discussion.  Summarized aggregate financial information for PPEA Holding, included in our December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets, is included below (in millions):

The adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 had no impact on our investment in the Hydroelectric Generation Facilities.  Please read Note 8—Variable Interest Entities—Hydroelectric Generation Facilities for further discussion.

Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  On January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU No. 2010-06—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  Please read Note 6—Fair Value Measurements for further discussion.

Note 2—Dispositions and Discontinued Operations

Dispositions

LS Power Transactions.  We consummated our transactions (the “LS Power Transactions”) with LS Power Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“LS Power”) in two parts, with the issuance of $235 million of notes by DHI on December 1, 2009, and the remainder of the transactions closing on November 30, 2009.  Please read Note 4—Dispositions, Contract Terminations and Discontinued Operations—Dispositions and Contract Terminations in our Form 10-K for further discussion of these transactions.

Discontinued Operations

Arlington Valley, Griffith and Bluegrass.  On November 30, 2009, we completed the sale of our interests in the Arlington Valley and Griffith power generation assets (collectively, the “Arizona power generation facilities”) and Bluegrass power generation facility as part of the LS Power Transactions.

The Arizona power generation facilities, as well as our Bluegrass facility, met the criteria of held for sale during the third quarter 2009.  At that time, we discontinued depreciation and amortization of the Arizona power generation facilities’ and Bluegrass’ property, plant and equipment.  Depreciation and amortization expense related to the Arizona power generation facilities totaled approximately $5 million and $10 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009.  Depreciation and amortization expense related to Bluegrass totaled approximately zero and $1 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  We recorded a pre-tax impairment of approximately $5 million in the period ended March 31, 2009 and approximately $18 million in the period ended June 30, 2009 related to the Bluegrass facility.  We are reporting the results of operations for the Arizona power generation facilities and the Bluegrass power generation facility in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Heard County.  On April 30, 2009, we completed our sale of our interest in the Heard County power generation facility for approximately $105 million.

Heard County was classified as held for sale during the first quarter 2009.  At that time, we discontinued depreciation and amortization of Heard County’s property, plant and equipment.  Depreciation and amortization expense related to Heard County totaled zero and $1 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  We are reporting the results of Heard County’s operations in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Note 3—Noncontrolling Interests

On January 1, 2009, we adopted authoritative guidance which requires: (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statements of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations; (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interests that do not result in deconsolidation to be accounted for as equity transactions; and (iv) that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, with any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary initially measured at fair value.  The following table presents the net loss attributable to Dynegy’s and DHI’s stockholders:

Note 5—Risk Management Activities, Derivatives and Financial Instruments

The nature of our business necessarily involves market and financial risks.  Specifically, we are exposed to commodity price variability related to our power generation business.  Our commercial team seeks to manage these commodity price risks with financially settled and other types of contracts consistent with our commodity risk management policy.  Our commercial team also uses financial instruments in an attempt to capture the benefit of fluctuations in market prices in the geographic regions where our assets operate.  Our treasury team seeks to manage our financial risks and exposures associated with interest expense variability.

Our commodity risk management strategy gives us the flexibility to sell energy and capacity through a combination of spot market sales and near-term contractual arrangements (generally over a rolling 1 to 3 year time frame).  Our commodity risk management goal is to increase predictability of cash flows in the near-term while keeping the ability to capture value from rising commodity prices that are anticipated over the longer term.  Many of our contractual arrangements are derivative instruments and must be accounted for at fair value.  We also manage commodity price risk by entering into capacity forward sales arrangements, tolling arrangements, RMR contracts, fixed price coal purchases and other arrangements that do not receive fair value accounting treatment because these arrangements do not meet the definition of a derivative or are designated as “normal purchase normal sales.”  As a result, the gains and losses with respect to these arrangements are not reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations until the settlement dates.

Quantitative Disclosures Related to Financial Instruments and Derivatives

The following disclosures and tables present information concerning the impact of derivative instruments on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.  In the table below, commodity contracts primarily consist of derivative contracts related to our power generation business that we have not designated as accounting hedges, that are entered into for purposes of hedging future fuel requirements and sales commitments and securing commodity prices.  Interest rate contracts primarily consist of derivative contracts related to managing our interest rate risk.  As of June 30, 2010, our commodity derivatives were comprised of both long and short positions; a long position is a contract to purchase a commodity, while a short position is a contract to sell a commodity.  As of June 30, 2010, we had net long/ (short) commodity derivative contracts outstanding and notional interest rate swaps outstanding in the following quantities:

Derivatives on the Balance Sheet. We execute a significant volume of transactions through a futures clearing manager.  Our daily cash payments (receipts) to (from) our futures clearing manager consist of three parts: (i) fair value of open positions (exclusive of options) (“Daily Cash Settlements”); (ii) initial margin requirements related to open positions (exclusive of options) (“Initial Margin”); and (iii) fair value and margin requirements related to options (“Options”, and collectively with Initial Margin, “Collateral”).  We do not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement and we do not elect to offset the fair value amounts recognized for the Daily Cash Settlements paid or received against the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement.

As a result, our consolidated balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities, as well as related Daily Cash Settlements and Collateral, as applicable, on a gross basis.  As of June 30, 2010, the net value of our Daily Cash Settlements and Collateral with our futures clearing manager totaled $160 million.  The $160 million is comprised of approximately $156 million of Collateral and approximately $4 million of Daily Cash Settlements due from the broker.  Approximately $113 million of the $160 million is included in Broker margin account on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The remaining $47 million represents collateral requirements secured by letters of credit.  As of June 30, 2010, the Broker margin account includes $86 million of short-term investments posted as collateral.  In the second quarter 2010, we began using short-term investments to collateralize a portion of our collateral requirements.  The broker requires that we post approximately 103 percent of any collateral requirement collateralized with short-term investments.  Accordingly, our Broker margin account includes approximately $3 million related to this requirement.  As of December 31, 2009, of the approximately $286 million included in Broker margin account on our consolidated balance sheets, approximately $288 million represented Collateral, offset by approximately $2 million representing Daily Cash Settlements.

The following table presents the fair value and balance sheet classification of derivatives in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009 segregated between designated, qualifying hedging instruments and those that are not, and by type of contract segregated by assets and liabilities.

Impact of Derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Operations

The following discussion and tables present the disclosure of the location and amount of gains and losses on derivative instruments in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 segregated between designated, qualifying hedging instruments and those that are not, by type of contract.

Cash Flow Hedges.  We enter into financial derivative instruments that qualify, and that we may elect to designate, as cash flow hedges.  Interest rate swaps have been used to convert floating interest rate obligations to fixed interest rate obligations.

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
In 2007, a formerly consolidated variable interest entity, PPEA, entered into three interest rate swap agreements which were designated as cash flow hedges.  PPEA Holding was deconsolidated on January 1, 2010 upon adoption of ASU No. 2009-17, and therefore these instruments are not reflected in our consolidated risk management accounts at June 30, 2010.  Please read Note 1—Accounting Policies—Accounting Policies Adopted—Variable Interest Entities for further discussion.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded no income or loss, related to ineffectiveness from changes in fair value of derivative positions and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to the hedge of future cash flows in either of the periods.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no amounts were reclassified to earnings in connection with forecasted transactions that were considered probable of not occurring.

The balance in cash flow hedging activities within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net at June 30, 2010, representing our share of the historical cash flow hedging activities of PPEA under the equity method, is expected to be reclassified to future earnings when the forecasted hedged transaction impacts earnings.  Currently we do not expect to make any reclassifications into earnings over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2011, unless we complete a sale of our investment in PPEA Holding during such period.  The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings over this period and beyond could vary materially from this estimated amount as a result of changes in market prices, hedging strategies, the probability of forecasted transactions occurring and other factors.

The amount of gain recognized in Other comprehensive loss on the effective portion of interest rate derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $80 million
