[2] | In 2010, SCE recorded a $23 million reserve against an uncollectible receivable related to contract termination negotiations, which was written off during 2011.
[3] | Edison International recorded deferred tax assets of $2.2 billion related to net operating losses and tax carryforwards that pertain to Edison International's consolidated or combined federal and state tax returns, including approximately $1.6 billion related to EME. Edison International continues to consolidate EME for federal and certain combined state tax returns. EME’s Plan of Reorganization, filed in December 2013 ("December Plan of Reorganization"), provides for the transfer of EIX’s ownership interest to the creditors, which would result in a tax deconsolidation of EME. Under federal and state tax regulations, the tax deconsolidation of EME will reduce the amounts net operating loss and tax credits carryforwards that Edison International would be eligible to use in future periods. As a result of the EME’s December Plan of Reorganization, that would result in a tax deconsolidation of EME, Edison International has recorded a $1.380 billion valuation allowance based on the estimated amount of such benefits as calculated under the applicable federal and state tax regulations as of December 31, 2013. The deferred income tax benefits recognized by Edison International less the valuation allowance for amounts that would no longer be available upon tax deconsolidation of EME was approximately $220 million.
