DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014


Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Organization
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the SEC. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2015, which we refer to as our “Form 10-K.” Unless the context indicates otherwise, throughout this report, the terms “Dynegy,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours” are used to refer to Dynegy Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Our current business operations are focused primarily on the unregulated power generation sector of the energy industry. We report the results of our power generation business as three segments in our unaudited consolidated financial statements: (i) the Coal segment (“Coal”), (ii) the IPH segment (“IPH”) and (iii) the Gas segment (“Gas”). Our consolidated financial results also reflect corporate-level expenses such as general and administrative expense, interest expense and income tax benefit (expense). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Please read Note 19—Segment Information for further discussion.
IPH and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are organized into ring-fenced groups in order to maintain corporate separateness from Dynegy and its other subsidiaries. Certain of the entities in the IPH segment, including Illinois Power Generating Company (“Genco”), have an independent director whose consent is required for certain corporate actions, including material transactions with affiliates. Further, entities within the IPH segment present themselves to the public as separate entities.  They maintain separate books, records and bank accounts and separately appoint officers.  Furthermore, they pay liabilities from their own funds, conduct business in their own names and have restrictions on pledging their assets for the benefit of certain other persons.  These provisions restrict our ability to move cash out of these entities without meeting certain requirements as set forth in the governing documents.
Note 2—Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates. The preparation of unaudited 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 based on currently available information.  Actual results could differ materially from our estimates. 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 accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. Accounting policies for all of our operations are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Due to our recent Acquisitions in April 2015, we have added the following significant policies:
Undivided Interest Accounting. We account for our undivided interests in certain of our coal-fired power generation facilities whereby our proportionate share of each facility’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are included in the appropriate classifications in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents, at the time of an acquisition, the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. The carrying amount of our goodwill will be periodically reviewed, at least annually, for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we can opt to perform a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment or we can directly perform a two-step impairment test. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be less than its carrying amount, the two-step impairment test will be performed.

DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

In the absence of sufficient qualitative factors, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process:
Step one—Identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the book value, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds book value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the book value exceeds fair value, proceed to step two.
Step two—Compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the book value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the book value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess.
Accounting Standards Adopted During the Current Period
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Asset Disposals. In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08-Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this ASU change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. An entity is required to report within discontinued operations on the statement of operations the results of a component or group of components of an entity if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Additionally, the associated assets and liabilities are required to be presented separately from other assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all comparative periods. The ASU includes updated guidance regarding what meets the definition of a component of an entity. The new financial statement presentation provisions relating to this ASU are prospective and effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements or disclosures.    
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Inventory. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-011-Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this ASU require that inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”), with the latter defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU eliminates the need to determine market or replacement cost and evaluate whether it is above the ceiling at NRV or below the floor (NRV less a normal profit margin). The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03-Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30).  The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update.  The guidance in this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of this ASU should be applied on a retrospective basis, affecting all balance sheet periods presented.  We do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Consolidation. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02-Consolidation (Topic 810). The amendments in this ASU respond to concerns about the current accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities, in particular: (i) consolidation of limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary determination, (iv) the effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and (v) consolidation of certain investment funds. The guidance in this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted in an interim period. We do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Extraordinary and Unusual Items. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01-Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). The amendments in this ASU eliminate from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items and will no longer require separate classification of these items within the statement of operations. Presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Reporting entities may elect to apply the amendments prospectively only, or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements.  Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued ASU 2014-09-Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by removing inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, providing a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improving comparability of revenue recognition practices, providing more useful information to users of financial statements and simplifying the preparation of financial statements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing this ASU; however, we do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Acquisitions
Acquisitions
ECP Purchase Agreements. On April 1, 2015 (the “EquiPower Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement dated August 21, 2014, as amended (the “ERC Purchase Agreement”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dynegy Resource II, LLC (the “ERC Purchaser”) purchased 100 percent of the equity interests in EquiPower Resources Corp. (“ERC”) from certain affiliates of Energy Capital Partners (collectively, the “ERC Sellers”) thereby acquiring (i) five combined cycle natural gas-fired facilities in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, (ii) a partial interest in one natural gas-fired peaking facility in Illinois, (iii) two gas and oil-fired peaking facilities in Ohio and (iv) one coal-fired facility in Illinois (the “ERC Acquisition”).
On the EquiPower Closing Date, in a related transaction, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement and plan of merger dated August 21, 2014, as amended (the “Brayton Purchase Agreement” and together with the ERC Purchase Agreement, the “ECP Purchase Agreements”), our wholly-owned subsidiary Dynegy Resource III, LLC (the “Brayton Purchaser” and together with the ERC Purchaser, the “ECP Purchasers”) purchased 100 percent of the equity interests in Brayton Point Holdings, LLC (“Brayton”) from certain affiliates of Energy Capital Partners (collectively, the “Brayton Sellers” and together with the ERC Sellers, the “ECP Sellers”), thereby acquiring a coal-fired facility in Massachusetts (the “Brayton Acquisition”).
The ERC Acquisition and the Brayton Acquisition (collectively, the “EquiPower Acquisition”) added approximately 6,300 MW of generation in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania for an aggregate base purchase price of approximately $3.35 billion in cash plus approximately $105 million in common stock of Dynegy, subject to certain adjustments. In aggregate, the resulting operations from the two coal-fired facilities acquired from the ECP Sellers are reported within our Coal segment, while related operations from the six natural gas-fired and two gas and oil-fired facilities are reported within our Gas segment.
Under the ECP Purchase Agreements, the ECP Purchasers and ECP Sellers have agreed to indemnify the other applicable parties for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and certain other matters, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.  Neither the ECP Purchasers nor the ECP Sellers, in the aggregate, are entitled to indemnification in excess of $276 million, and $104 million of the purchase price will be held in escrow for one year after closing to support the post-closing adjustment and the indemnification obligations of the ECP Sellers.
Duke Midwest Purchase Agreement. On April 2, 2015 (the “Duke Midwest Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement dated August 21, 2014, as amended (the “Duke Midwest Purchase Agreement”), our wholly-owned subsidiary Dynegy Resource I, LLC (“DRI”) purchased 100 percent of the membership interests in Duke Energy Commercial Asset Management, LLC and Duke Energy Retail Sales, LLC, from two affiliates of Duke Energy Corporation (collectively, “Duke Energy”), thereby acquiring approximately 6,200 MW of generation in (i) three combined cycle natural gas-fired facilities located in Ohio and Pennsylvania, (ii) two natural gas-fired peaking facilities located in Ohio and Illinois, (iii) one oil-fired peaking facility located in Ohio, (iv) partial interests in five coal-fired facilities located in Ohio and (v) a retail energy business for a base purchase price of approximately $2.80 billion in cash (the “Duke Midwest Acquisition”), subject to certain adjustments. We operate two of the five coal-fired facilities, the Miami Fort and Zimmer facilities, with other owners operating the three remaining facilities. The operations from the retail energy business, the five coal-fired and the one oil-fired facilities acquired from Duke Energy are reported within our Coal segment, while related operations from the five natural gas-fired facilities are reported within our Gas segment.
Under the Duke Midwest Purchase Agreement, DRI and Duke Energy have agreed to indemnify the other applicable parties for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and certain other matters, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.  Dynegy has guaranteed, up to a maximum liability of $2.80 billion, the obligations of DRI under the Duke Midwest Purchase Agreement and related Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). DRI shall, in the aggregate, not be entitled to

indemnification in excess of $280 million for most matters and $2.80 billion for certain fundamental representations, tax matters and fraud.
Business Combination Accounting. The EquiPower Acquisition and the Duke Midwest Acquisition (collectively, the “Acquisitions”) have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, April 1, 2015 and April 2, 2015, respectively. The initial accounting for the Acquisitions is not complete because certain information and analysis that may impact our initial valuations are still being obtained or reviewed as a result of the short time period since the closing of the Acquisitions. The significant assets and liabilities for which provisional amounts are recognized at the respective acquisition dates are property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and liabilities, goodwill, investment in unconsolidated affiliate, working capital adjustments, deferred income taxes, taxes other than deferred income taxes and asset retirement obligations. The provisional amounts recognized are subject to revision until our valuations are completed, not to exceed one year, and any material adjustments identified that existed as of the acquisition date will be retroactively adjusted.
To fair value the acquired property, plant and equipment, we used a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis, classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy levels and based upon a debt-free, free cash flow model.  This DCF model was created for each power generation facility based on its remaining useful life.  The DCF model included gross margin forecasts for each power generation facility determined using forward commodity market prices obtained from third party quotations for the years 2015 through 2016.  For the years 2017 through 2024, we used commodity and capacity price curves developed internally utilizing forward NYMEX natural gas prices and supply and demand factors.  For periods beyond 2024, we assumed a 2.5 percent growth rate. We also used management’s forecasts of operations and maintenance expense, general and administrative expense and capital expenditures for the years 2015 through 2019 and assumed a 2.5 percent growth rate, thereafter. The resulting cash flows were then discounted using plant specific discount rates of approximately 8 to 10 percent for gas-fired generation facilities and approximately 9 to 13 percent for coal-fired generation facilities, based upon the asset’s age, efficiency, region and years until retirement. Contracts with terms that were not at current market value were also valued using a DCF analysis.  The cash flows generated by the contracts were compared with their cash flows based on current market prices with the resulting difference recorded as either an intangible asset or liability. The 3,460,053 shares of common stock of Dynegy issued as part of the consideration for the EquiPower Acquisition were valued at approximately $105 million based on the closing price of Dynegy’s common stock on the EquiPower Closing Date.

As a result of recording the stepped up fair market basis for GAAP purposes, but receiving primarily carryover basis for tax purposes in the EquiPower Acquisition, we recorded a net deferred tax liability of $537 million. As we have previously recorded a valuation allowance against our historical deferred tax assets, we have released approximately $480 million of our valuation allowance as a result of these increased net deferred tax liabilities.
The goodwill of $837 million resulting from the EquiPower Acquisition reflects the excess of our purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. We allocated 88 percent of the goodwill to our Gas reporting unit, and 12 percent to our Coal reporting unit, or $732 million and $105 million, respectively, based upon the fair value of the plant assets associated with each reporting unit. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes, and as such, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to goodwill. No goodwill was recognized as a result of the Duke Midwest Acquisition.
We incurred acquisition costs of $2 million and $85 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, related to the Acquisitions, which are included in Acquisition and integration costs in our unaudited consolidated statement of

Note 4—Unconsolidated Investments
Equity Method Investments
Elwood. In connection with the EquiPower Acquisition, we acquired a 50 percent interest in Elwood Energy LLC, a limited liability company (“Elwood Energy”) and Elwood Expansion LLC, a limited liability company (“Elwood Expansion” and, together with Elwood Energy, “Elwood”).  Elwood Energy owns a 1,566 MW natural gas-fired facility located in Elwood, Illinois. As of June 30, 2015, our equity method investment included in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet was $199 million. Upon the acquisition of our Elwood investment, we recognized basis differences in the net assets of approximately $84 million related to property plant and equipment, debt and intangibles. These basis differences are being amortized over their respective useful lives. Our risk of loss related to our equity method investment is limited to our investment balance. Holders of the debt of our unconsolidated investment do not have recourse to us and our other subsidiaries; therefore, the debt of our unconsolidated investment is not reflected in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2015, Elwood debt was approximately $160 million, and based on our pro rata share of the investment, our share of such debt would be approximately $80 million.
We recorded $3 million in equity earnings related to our investment in Elwood, which is reflected in Earnings from unconsolidated investments in our unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no distributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. In July 2015, we received a distribution of $11 million. As of June 30, 2015, we have approximately $2 million in accounts receivable due from Elwood, which is included in Accounts receivable in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
Black Mountain. On June 27, 2014, we completed the sale of our 50 percent partnership interest in Nevada Cogeneration Associates #2, a partnership that owns Black Mountain, an 85 MW (43 net MW) natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine facility in Nevada. We received $14 million in cash proceeds upon the close of the transaction, which is reflected in Gain on sale of assets, net in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. In connection with the sale, our guarantee was terminated. Additionally, we received $10 million in cash distributions from Black Mountain, which is recorded as Earnings from unconsolidated investments in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Note 5—Risk Management Activities, Derivatives and Financial Instruments
The nature of our business necessarily involves commodity market and financial risks.  Specifically, we are exposed to commodity price variability related to our power generation business.  Our commercial team manages these commodity price risks with financially and physically settled contracts consistent with our commodity risk management policy.  Our treasury team manages our interest rate risk. 
Our commodity risk management policy gives us the flexibility to sell energy and capacity and purchase fuel through a combination of spot market sales and near-term contractual arrangements (generally over a rolling one- to three-year time frame).  Our commodity risk management goal is to protect cash flow in the near-term while keeping the ability to capture value longer-term.

Many of our contractual arrangements are derivative instruments and are accounted for at fair value as part of Revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.  We have other contractual arrangements such as capacity forward sales arrangements, tolling arrangements, fixed price coal purchases and retail power sales which do not receive recurring fair value accounting treatment because these arrangements do not meet the definition of a derivative or are designated as “normal purchase, normal sale,” in accordance with ASC 815.  As a result, the gains and losses with respect to these arrangements are not reflected in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations until the delivery occurs.

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit limits that require us to post collateral. The amount of collateral required to be posted is a function of the net liability position of the derivative as well as our established credit limit with the respective counterparty. If our credit rating were to change, the counterparties could require us to post additional collateral. The amount of additional collateral that would be required to be posted would vary depending on the extent of change in our credit rating as well as the requirements of the individual counterparty. The aggregate fair value of all commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions with our clearing brokers that are fully collateralized) at June 30, 2015 was $81 million, for which we have posted $7 million collateral. Our remaining derivative instruments do not have credit-related collateral contingencies as they are included within our first-lien collateral program.

DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Level 3 Valuation Methods. The electricity derivatives classified within Level 3 include financial swaps executed in illiquid trading locations or on long dated contracts, capacity contracts, heat rate derivatives and FTRs.  The curves used to generate the fair value of the financial swaps are based on basis adjustments applied to forward curves for liquid trading points, while the curves for the capacity deals are based upon auction results in the marketplace, which are infrequently executed. The forward market price of FTRs is derived using historical congestion patterns within the marketplace and heat rate derivative valuations are derived using a Black-Scholes spread model, which uses forward natural gas and power prices, market implied volatilities and modeled correlation values. The natural gas derivatives classified within Level 3 include financial swaps, basis swaps and physical purchases executed in illiquid trading locations or on long dated contracts. The coal derivatives classified within Level 3 include financial swaps executed in illiquid trading locations.
Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Valuations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy include estimates of forward congestion, power price spreads, natural gas and coal pricing and the difference between our plant locational prices to liquid hub prices. Power price spreads, natural gas and coal pricing and the difference between our plant locational prices to liquid hub prices are generally based on observable markets where available, or derived from historical prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available. Increases in the price of the spread on a buy or sell position in isolation would result in a higher/lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of Dynegy’s contracts classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2015 are as follows:

For purposes of these tables, we define settlements as the beginning of period fair value of contracts that settled during the period.
Gains and losses recognized for Level 3 recurring items are included in Revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for commodity derivatives.  We believe an analysis of commodity instruments classified as Level 3 should be undertaken with the understanding that these items generally serve as economic hedges of our power generation portfolio.  We did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities.  Nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
We did not have any material nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, other than the preliminary purchase price allocation discussed in Note 3—Acquisitions.
