The representations and warranties contained in any agreement that we have filed as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or that we have or may publicly file in the future may contain representations and warranties made by and to the parties thereto at specific dates.

Adjusted EBITDA | | Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA adjusted to exclude noncash items, unusual items and other adjustments allowable under the EFIH Notes and certain debt arrangements of EFH Corp. (as applicable). See the definition of EBITDA below. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not recognized terms under US GAAP and, thus, are non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing our and EFH Corp.'s Adjusted EBITDA in this Form 10-Q (see reconciliations in Exhibits 99(b) and 99(c)) solely because of the important role that Adjusted EBITDA plays in respect of certain covenants contained in the indentures for the EFIH Notes and EFH Corp. debt pushed down to EFIH as discussed in Note 3 to Financial Statements. We do not intend for Adjusted EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with US GAAP. Additionally, we do not intend for Adjusted EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be used as a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as the measure excludes certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and other debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA (and EBITDA) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. | BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of Business
References in this report to "we," "our," "us" and "the company" are to EFIH and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries as apparent in the context. See "Glossary" for defined terms.
EFIH, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of EFH Corp., is a Dallas, Texas-based holding company with no operations or operating assets whose wholly owned subsidiary, Oncor Holdings, holds a majority interest (approximately 80%) in Oncor. Oncor is a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company principally engaged in providing delivery services to REPs, including subsidiaries of TCEH, that sell electricity to residential, business and other consumers in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas. EFIH has no reportable business segments. Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries are not consolidated in EFIH's financial statements in accordance with consolidation accounting standards related to variable interest entities (VIEs) (see Note 2).
Various "ring-fencing" measures have been taken to enhance the credit quality of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. These measures serve to mitigate Oncor's and Oncor Holdings' credit exposure to the Texas Holdings Group, which includes EFIH, and to reduce the risk that the assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the Texas Holdings Group in the event of a bankruptcy of one or more of Texas Holding Group's subsidiaries. Such measures include, among other things: Oncor's sale of a 19.75% equity interest to Texas Transmission in November 2008; maintenance of separate books and records for the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities; the board of directors of Oncor Holdings and Oncor being comprised of a majority of independent directors, and prohibitions on the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities providing credit support to, or receiving credit support from, any member of the Texas Holdings Group. The assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are separate and distinct from those of the Texas Holdings Group, including TXU Energy and Luminant, and none of the assets of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are available to satisfy the debt or contractual obligations of any member of the Texas Holdings Group. Oncor and Oncor Holdings do not bear any liability for debt or contractual obligations of the Texas Holdings Group (including, but not limited to, our debt obligations), and vice versa. Accordingly, Oncor Holdings' operations are conducted, and its cash flows managed, independently from the Texas Holdings Group.
Liquidity Considerations and Concentration of Risk
Our substantial debt, resulting in part from debt issued in exchange for outstanding EFH Corp. debt, requires significant cash flows to be dedicated to interest payments.
Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on i) receiving dividends from Oncor Holdings, ii) receiving interest payments on EFH Corp. and TCEH debt we hold and, if needed, iii) receiving capital contributions or loans from EFH Corp. (see Notes 2, 3, and 5).
EFH Corp. Discussions with Creditors
In March and April 2013, EFH Corp. engaged in discussions with certain unaffiliated holders of first lien senior secured claims against EFCH, TCEH and certain of TCEH's subsidiaries (the EFCH and Subsidiaries Creditors) with respect to its capital structure, including the possibility of a restructuring transaction. During the discussions, proposed changes to its capital structure were presented to the EFCH and Subsidiaries Creditors. The proposed changes included a consensual restructuring of TCEH's debt under which EFCH, TCEH, and certain of TCEH's subsidiaries would implement a prepackaged plan of reorganization by commencing voluntary cases under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Under this proposed plan, the TCEH first lien creditors would exchange their claims for a combination of EFH Corp. equity and cash or new long-term debt of TCEH, and the Sponsors would continue to hold an equity investment in EFH Corp. The Sponsors communicated a willingness to contribute new equity capital to EFH Corp. to facilitate implementation of the proposed plan in an amount that would provide substantial additional liquidity to EFH Corp. and EFIH, provided that in such circumstances the Sponsors would receive additional equity of EFH Corp. Following implementation of the proposed plan, EFH Corp. would continue to hold all of the equity interests in EFCH and EFIH, EFCH would continue to hold all of the equity interests in TCEH, and EFIH would continue to hold all of the equity interests in Oncor Holdings. EFH Corp. and the EFCH and Subsidiaries Creditors have not reached agreement on the terms of any change in its capital structure.
EFH Corp. has engaged in additional discussions regarding possible changes to its capital structure with the advisors to the EFCH and Subsidiaries Creditors, EFIH creditors and other creditors. EFH Corp. will continue to consider and evaluate a range of future changes to its capital structure, in addition to the proposed changes described above, which may include filing a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for some or all of EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (excluding the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities).
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K. Our investment in Oncor Holdings does not meet accounting standards criteria for consolidation and is accounted for under the equity method (see Note 2). Adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included therein. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our 2012 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for a full year. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in millions of US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reporting of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of income and expense, including fair value measurements. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
| |
2. | INVESTMENT IN ONCOR HOLDINGS |
We have an equity investment in Oncor Holdings, which holds an approximate 80% interest in Oncor. Oncor Holdings is considered a variable interest entity (VIE). A VIE is an entity with which we have a relationship or arrangement that indicates some level of control over the entity or results in economic risks to us. Accounting standards require consolidation of a VIE if we have (a) the power to direct the significant activities of the VIE and (b) the right or obligation to absorb profit and loss from the VIE (primary beneficiary). In determining the appropriateness of consolidation of a VIE, we evaluate its purpose, governance structure, decision making processes and risks that are passed on to its interest holders. We also examine the nature of any related party relationships among the interest holders of the VIE and the nature of any special rights granted to the interest holders of the VIE.
We do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for it as an equity method investment because the structural and operational "ring-fencing" measures discussed in Note 1 prevent us from having power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings or Oncor. In accordance with accounting standards, we account for our investment in Oncor Holdings under the equity method, as opposed to the cost method, based on our level of influence over its activities.
The carrying value of our variable interest in Oncor Holdings totaled $5.904 billion and $5.842 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is reported as investment in Oncor Holdings in our balance sheet. Our maximum exposure to loss from this investment does not exceed our carrying value.
See Note 6 for discussion of Oncor Holdings' and Oncor's transactions with EFH Corp. and its other subsidiaries.
Distributions from Oncor Holdings — Oncor Holdings' distributions of earnings to us totaled $80 million and $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Distributions may not be paid except to the extent Oncor maintains a required regulatory capital structure as discussed below. At June 30, 2013, $143 million was eligible to be distributed to Oncor's members after taking into account the regulatory capital structure limit, of which approximately 80% relates to our ownership interest in Oncor. The boards of directors of each of Oncor and Oncor Holdings can withhold distributions to the extent the applicable board determines in good faith that it is necessary to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements of Oncor and/or Oncor Holdings.
Oncor's distributions are limited by its regulatory capital structure, which is required to be at or below the assumed debt-to-equity ratio established periodically by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes, which is currently set at 60% debt to 40% equity. At June 30, 2013, Oncor's regulatory capitalization ratio was 59.0% debt and 41.0% equity. The PUCT has the authority to determine what types of debt and equity are included in a utility's debt-to-equity ratio. For purposes of this ratio, debt is calculated as long-term debt plus unamortized gains on reacquired debt less unamortized issuance expenses, premiums and losses on reacquired debt. The debt calculation excludes bonds issued by Oncor Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company, which were issued in 2003 and 2004 to recover specific generation-related regulatory assets and other qualified costs. Equity is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with US GAAP, excluding the effects of accounting for the Merger (which included recording the initial goodwill and fair value adjustments and the subsequent related impairments and amortization).

Debt Related Activity in 2013
EFIH Debt Exchanges and Distributions Involving EFH Corp. Debt — In exchanges in January 2013, EFIH and EFIH Finance issued $1.302 billion principal amount of EFIH 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (New EFIH 10% Notes) in exchange for $1.310 billion total principal amount of EFH Corp. and EFIH senior secured notes consisting of: (i) $113 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (EFH Corp. 9.75% Notes), (ii) $1.058 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (EFH Corp. 10% Notes), and (iii) $139 million principal amount of EFIH 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (EFIH 9.75% Notes). The New EFIH 10% Notes have terms and conditions substantially the same as the existing EFIH 10% Notes discussed below. EFIH cancelled the EFIH notes it received in the exchanges.
In connection with these debt exchange transactions, EFH Corp. received the requisite consents from holders of the EFH Corp. 9.75% Notes and EFH Corp. 10% Notes and EFIH received the requisite consents from holders of the EFIH 9.75% Notes to certain amendments to the respective indentures governing such notes. These amendments, among other things, (i) eliminated EFIH's pledge of its 100% ownership of the membership interests it owns in Oncor Holdings as collateral for the EFIH 9.75% Notes, (ii) made EFCH and EFIH unrestricted subsidiaries under the EFH Corp. 9.75% Notes and EFH Corp. 10% Notes, thereby eliminating EFCH's unsecured and EFIH's secured guarantees of the notes, (iii) eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indentures and (iv) eliminated certain events of default, modified covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modified or eliminated certain other provisions in these indentures.
In additional exchanges in January 2013, EFIH and EFIH Finance issued $89 million principal amount of additional 11.25%/12.25% Toggle Notes due 2018 (EFIH Toggle Notes) in exchange for $95 million total principal amount of EFH Corp. senior notes consisting of: (i) $31 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 10.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes), (ii) $33 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 11.25%/12.00% Senior Toggle Notes due 2017 (EFH Corp. Toggle Notes), (iii) $2 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 5.55% Series P Notes due 2014 (EFH Corp. 5.55% Notes) and (iv) $29 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 6.50% Series Q Notes due 2024 (EFH Corp. 6.50% Notes). The additional EFIH Toggle Notes have the same terms and conditions as the existing EFIH Toggle Notes discussed below.
The aggregate principal amount of EFH Corp. debt received in the January 2013 exchanges totaled $1.266 billion.
Accounting and Income Tax Effects of the January 2013 Debt Exchanges — In consideration of the circumstances and terms of the exchanges, accounting rules require that the net loss on the exchanges, which totaled $21 million, be deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt issued. The deferred loss is reported as debt discount associated with the EFIH 10% Notes and EFIH Toggle Notes. The deferred loss and the related deferred tax liability were pushed down to EFIH as a membership interests transaction.
Guarantee and Push Down of EFH Corp. Debt
Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries consists of debt issued or existing at the time of the Merger. Debt issued in exchange for Merger-related debt is considered Merger-related. Debt issuances for cash are considered Merger-related debt to the extent the proceeds are used to repurchase Merger-related debt. EFCH and EFIH (excluding their subsidiaries) fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. (parent). Such debt is subject to push down in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-J, and as a result, a portion of such debt and related interest expense is reflected in our financial statements. Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. held by its subsidiaries is not subject to push down.
As a result of transactions in the first quarter 2013 discussed above, debt guaranteed and subject to push down at June 30, 2013 totals $60 million and consists of $33 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 10.875% Senior Notes and $27 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 11.25%/12.00% Senior Toggle Notes. The amount reflected in our balance sheet as pushed down debt ($30 million and $450 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, as shown in the long-term debt table above) represents 50% of the principal amount of the EFH Corp. Merger-related debt guaranteed. This percentage reflects the fact that at the time of the Merger, the equity investments of EFCH and EFIH in their respective operating subsidiaries were essentially equal amounts. Because payment of principal and interest on the debt is the responsibility of EFH Corp., we record the settlement of such amounts as noncash capital contributions from EFH Corp.
The following table presents an analysis of the total outstanding principal amount of EFH Corp. debt guaranteed by EFCH and EFIH at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Information Regarding Other Significant Outstanding Debt
EFIH 6.875% Senior Secured Notes — At June 30, 2013, the principal amount of the EFIH 6.875% Notes totaled $503 million. These notes mature in August 2017, with interest payable in cash semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 at a fixed rate of 6.875% per annum. The EFIH 6.875% Notes are secured on a first-priority basis by EFIH's pledge of its 100% ownership of the membership interests in Oncor Holdings (the EFIH Collateral) on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 10% Notes.
The EFIH 6.875% Notes are senior obligations of EFIH and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of EFIH and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of EFIH. The EFIH 6.875% Notes are effectively senior to all second lien and unsecured indebtedness of EFIH, to the extent of the value of the EFIH Collateral, and are effectively subordinated to any indebtedness of EFIH secured by assets of EFIH other than the EFIH Collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets. Furthermore, the EFIH 6.875% Notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of EFIH's subsidiaries (other than EFIH Finance), including Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries. The holders of the EFIH 6.875% Notes vote as a separate class from the holders of the EFIH 10% Notes.
The EFIH 6.875% Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH 6.875% Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH 6.875% Notes. If an exchange offer for the notes is not completed within 365 days after the date (August 14, 2012) the initial EFIH 6.875% Notes were issued (a Registration Default), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 25 basis points for the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default continues, and thereafter, the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 50 basis points for the remaining period during which the Registration Default continues. If the Registration Default is cured, the interest rate on the notes will revert to the original level.
EFIH 10% Senior Secured Notes — At June 30, 2013, the principal amount of the EFIH 10% Notes totaled $3.482 billion. The notes mature in December 2020, with interest payable in cash semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The notes are secured by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 6.875% Notes.
The EFIH 10% Notes are senior obligations of EFIH and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of EFIH, including the EFIH 6.875% Notes. The EFIH 10% Notes have substantially the same terms, covenants and events of default as the EFIH 6.875% Notes. The holders of the EFIH 10% Notes vote as a separate class from the holders of the EFIH 6.875% Notes.
EFIH 11% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes — At June 30, 2013, the principal amount of the EFIH 11% Notes totaled $406 million. The notes mature in October 2021, with interest payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 at a fixed rate of 11% per annum. The EFIH 11% Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 11.75% Notes.
The EFIH 11% Notes are senior obligations of EFIH and EFIH Finance and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of EFIH and are effectively senior in right of payment to all existing or future unsecured debt of EFIH to the extent of the value of the EFIH Collateral. The notes have substantially the same terms, covenants and events of default as the EFIH 11.75% Notes discussed below, and the holders of the EFIH 11% Notes will generally vote as a single class with the holders of the EFIH 11.75% Notes.
EFIH 11.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes — At June 30, 2013, the principal amount of the EFIH 11.75% Notes totaled $1.750 billion. These notes mature in March 2022, with interest payable in cash semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 at a fixed rate of 11.75% per annum. The EFIH 11.75% Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 11% Notes. The EFIH 11.75% Notes have substantially the same covenants as the EFIH 11% Notes, and the holders of the EFIH 11.75% Notes will generally vote as a single class with the holders of the EFIH 11% Notes.
The EFIH 11.75% Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH 11.75% Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH 11.75% Notes. Because the exchange offer has not yet been completed, the annual interest rate on the EFIH 11.75% Notes increased by 25 basis points (to 12.00%) on February 5, 2013 and by an additional 25 basis points (to 12.25%) on May 6, 2013. The interest rate on the EFIH 11.75% Notes will remain at that level until completion of the exchange offer, at which time the interest rate on the notes will revert to 11.75%.
EFIH 11.25%/12.25% Senior Toggle Notes — At June 30, 2013, the principal amount of the EFIH Toggle Notes totaled $1.476 billion. These notes mature in December 2018, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 at a fixed rate of 11.25% per annum for cash interest and 12.25% per annum for PIK Interest. For any interest period until June 1, 2016, EFIH may elect to pay interest on the Toggle Notes (i) entirely in cash; (ii) by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new EFIH Toggle Notes (PIK Interest); or (iii) 50% in cash and 50% in PIK Interest. Once EFIH makes a PIK election, which it did effective with the June 1, 2013 interest payment, the election is valid for each succeeding interest payment period until EFIH revokes the election.
The EFIH Toggle Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH Toggle Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH Toggle Notes. If an exchange offer for the notes is not completed within 365 days after the date (December 5, 2012) the initial EFIH Toggle notes were issued (a Registration Default), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 25 basis points for the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default continues, and thereafter, the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 50 basis points for the remaining period during which the Registration Default continues. If the Registration Default is cured, the interest rate on the notes will revert to the original level.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including pushed down debt) totaled $7.951 billion and $7.258 billion, respectively, and the carrying amount totaled $7.820 billion and $6.954 billion, respectively. We determine fair value in accordance with accounting standards and at June 30, 2013 our debt fair value represents Level 2 valuations. We obtain security pricing from a vendor who uses broker quotes and third-party pricing services to determine fair values. Where relevant, these prices are validated through subscription services such as Bloomberg.

Guarantees
See Notes 3 and 6 for discussion of our guarantees of certain EFH Corp. debt.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in various legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business the ultimate resolutions of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Cash Distributions
In January 2013, EFIH's board of directors declared, and EFIH paid, a cash distribution to EFH Corp. of $680 million (which as of December 31, 2012 was recorded as restricted cash), which was used by EFH Corp. to settle the TCEH Demand Notes (see Note 6).
In February 2012, EFIH's board of directors declared, and EFIH paid, a cash distribution to EFH Corp. of $950 million, which was used by EFH Corp. to partially settle the TCEH Demand Notes.
The indentures governing the EFIH Notes include covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to our membership interests. Accordingly, our net income is restricted from being used to make distributions with respect to our membership interests unless such distributions are expressly permitted under the indentures. The indentures further restrict us from making any distribution to EFH Corp. for the ultimate purpose of making a dividend on EFH Corp.'s common stock unless at the time, and after giving effect to such distribution, our consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or less than 6.0 to 1.0. Under the indentures governing the EFIH Notes, the term "consolidated leverage ratio" is defined as the ratio of EFIH's consolidated total debt (as defined in the indentures) to EFIH's Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, including Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries. EFIH's consolidated leverage ratio was 7.8 to 1.0 at June 30, 2013.
In addition, under applicable law, we are prohibited from paying any distribution to the extent that immediately following payment of such distribution, we would be insolvent.
Long-Term Debt Of Affiliates Held by EFIH
As a result of debt exchanges in 2009 through 2013, we held debt securities of EFH Corp. and TCEH as presented in the table below. In December 2012, management determined that some or all of these securities may be returned as dividends to EFH Corp.; accordingly, the balances were reclassified at that time from investment in long-term debt of affiliates and reported as a reduction of membership interests. The securities are no longer marked-to-market. Interest received reduces the carrying value of the securities.
Prior to December 2012, when the debt securities were reported as investment in long-term debt of affiliates, the securities were classified as available for sale, interest was recorded in the income statement as interest income and unrealized gains or losses were recorded in other comprehensive income unless such losses were other than temporary, in which case they were recorded as impairments in net income.
In the first quarter 2013, EFIH distributed $6.360 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. debt that it previously received in debt exchanges as a dividend to EFH Corp., which cancelled the notes, leaving $1.361 billion principal amount of affiliate debt still held by EFIH. The $6.360 billion principal amount consisted of $5.125 billion of debt held at December 31, 2012 and $1.235 billion (of the $1.266 billion) received in debt exchanges in January 2013 (see Note 3). The dividend included $1.715 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes, $3.474 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. Toggle Notes, $1.058 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. 10% Notes and $113 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 9.75% Notes.

As a result of the distribution of all the EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes and EFH Corp. Toggle Notes EFIH held, we recorded a gain of $284 million (pretax) representing the reclassification to interest income of mark-to-market gains reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Prior to our issuance of the dividend, we received payment from EFH Corp. of the $163 million of accrued interest on the notes, which was recorded in membership interests.

Our liquidity needs represent interest and principal payments on our long-term debt and payments of income taxes to EFH Corp., which we expect to fund with cash on hand, distributions we receive from Oncor Holdings (see Note 2), interest and principal payments we receive on TCEH and EFH Corp. debt securities and as necessary, to the extent available, additional liquidity sources, including borrowings from EFH Corp. The indentures governing the EFIH Notes do not limit our ability to dividend the EFH Corp. debt securities that we hold to EFH Corp. so long as we received such securities in exchange for the issuance of EFIH debt, which applies to all the EFH Corp. debt we currently hold.

6. | RELATED–PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The following represent our significant related-party transactions in addition to the EFH Corp. and TCEH debt securities held by EFIH as discussed in Note 5:
| |
• | EFH Corp. files consolidated federal income tax and Texas state margin tax returns, and under a tax sharing agreement, allocates income tax liabilities to us substantially as if we were filing our own corporate income tax returns. Our income tax receivable from EFH Corp. totaled $4 million and $1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our income tax payments to EFH Corp. totaled $3 million and $154 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represented federal income taxes and Texas state margin taxes. See discussion below in this note regarding allocation of income tax liabilities to Oncor Holdings and Oncor. |
| |
• | At December 31, 2012, EFH Corp. had demand notes payable (TCEH Demand Notes) to TCEH totaling $698 million arising from borrowings used to fund EFH Corp. debt principal and interest payments (P&I Note) and net borrowings for general corporate purposes (SG&A Note). EFIH was a guarantor of these demand notes. EFH Corp. settled the balance of the TCEH Demand Notes in January 2013 using the cash distribution from EFIH discussed in Note 5. |
| |
• | In January 2013, fees paid to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Goldman), an affiliate of GS Capital Partners, for services related to debt exchanges totaled $2 million, described as follows: (i) Goldman acted as a dealer manager for the offers by EFIH and EFIH Finance to exchange new EFIH 10% Notes for EFH Corp. 9.75% Notes, EFH Corp. 10% Notes and EFIH 9.75% Notes (collectively, the Old Notes) and as a solicitation agent in the solicitation of consents by EFH Corp. and EFIH and EFIH Finance to amendments to the Old Notes and indentures governing the Old Notes and (ii) Goldman acted as a dealer manager for the offers by EFIH and EFIH Finance to exchange EFIH Toggle Notes for EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes and EFH Corp. Toggle Notes. See Note 3 for further discussion of these exchange offers. |
In February 2012, Goldman acted as a joint book-running manager and initial purchaser in the issuance of $1.15 billion principal amount of EFIH 11.750% Notes for which it received fees totaling $7 million. A broker-dealer affiliate of KKR served as a co-manager and initial purchaser and an affiliate of TPG served as an advisor in the transactions, for which they each received $1 million.
| |
• | Affiliates of the Sponsor Group have sold or acquired, and in the future may sell or acquire, debt or debt securities issued by us in open market transactions or through loan syndications. |
See Note 3 regarding guarantees and push-down of certain EFH Corp. debt and Note 5 regarding distributions to, and contributions from, EFH Corp.
Significant related-party transactions between Oncor Holdings (including its consolidated subsidiary Oncor) and EFH Corp., other affiliates of EFH Corp. and the Sponsor Group are as follows:
| |
• | Oncor receives payments from TCEH for services it provides, principally the delivery of electricity. Revenues recorded by Oncor for these services totaled $230 million and $238 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $455 million and $465 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fees are based on rates regulated by the PUCT that apply to all REPs. These revenues from TCEH represented 27% and 29% of Oncor Holdings' operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Oncor Holdings' balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflect receivables from affiliates totaling $139 million and $53 million, respectively, consisting almost entirely of trade receivables from TCEH related to these electricity delivery fees. |
| |
• | In August 2012, TCEH and Oncor agreed to settle at a discount two agreements related to securitization (transition) bonds issued by Oncor's bankruptcy-remote financing subsidiary in 2003 and 2004 to recover generation-related regulatory assets. Under the agreements, TCEH had been reimbursing Oncor as described immediately below. |
Oncor collects transition surcharges from its customers to recover the transition bond payment obligations. Oncor's incremental income taxes related to the transition surcharges it collects had been reimbursed by TCEH quarterly under a noninterest bearing note payable to Oncor that was to mature in 2016. TCEH's payments on the note prior to the August 2012 settlement totaled $10 million and $20 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
Under an interest reimbursement agreement, TCEH had reimbursed Oncor on a monthly basis for interest expense on the transition bonds. Only the monthly accrual of interest under this agreement was reported as a receivable by Oncor. This interest income prior to the August 2012 settlement totaled $7 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
| |
• | Oncor pays EFH Corp. subsidiaries for certain administrative services and shared facilities at cost. These costs, which are primarily reported in operation and maintenance expenses, totaled $7 million and $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $16 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. |
| |
• | Under Texas regulatory provisions, the trust fund for decommissioning the Comanche Peak nuclear generation facility (reported on TCEH's balance sheet) is funded by a delivery fee surcharge collected from REPs by Oncor, as collection agent, and remitted monthly to TCEH. The delivery fee surcharges remitted to TCEH totaled $4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and $8 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
| |
• | EFH Corp. files a consolidated federal income tax return that includes Oncor Holdings' results. Oncor is not a member of EFH Corp.'s consolidated tax group, but EFH Corp.'s consolidated federal income tax return includes EFH Corp.'s portion of Oncor's results as a result of EFH Corp.'s equity ownership in Oncor. EFH Corp. also files a consolidated Texas state margin tax return that includes all of Oncor Holdings' and Oncor's results. However, under a tax sharing agreement, Oncor Holdings and Oncor record their federal income and Texas state margin taxes substantially as if Oncor Holdings and Oncor were filing their own corporate income tax returns. Oncor Holdings and Oncor had a current payable to EFH Corp. related to income taxes of $47 million and $34 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Oncor Holdings and Oncor made income tax payments to EFH Corp. totaling $53 million and $37 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
| |
• | Oncor has PUCT-approved tariffs in place to assure adequate credit worthiness of any REP to support the REP's obligation to collect transition bond-related charges on behalf of Oncor Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company LLC. Under these tariffs, as a result of TCEH's credit rating being below investment grade, TCEH is required to post collateral support in an amount equal to estimated transition charges over specified time periods. Accordingly, at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, TCEH had posted letters of credit in the amount of $11 million, for Oncor's benefit. |
| |
• | Oncor and Texas Holdings agreed to the terms of a stipulation with major interested parties to resolve all outstanding issues in the PUCT review related to the Merger. As part of this stipulation, TCEH would be required to post a letter of credit in an amount equal to $170 million to secure its payment obligations to Oncor in the event, which has not occurred, two or more rating agencies downgrade Oncor's credit rating below investment grade. |
| |
• | Affiliates of the Sponsor Group have, and from time-to-time in the future, may (1) sell, acquire or participate in the offerings of Oncor's debt or debt securities in open market transactions or through loan syndications, and (2) perform various financial advisory, dealer, commercial banking and investment banking services for Oncor and certain of its affiliates for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses. |
| |
• | Oncor has participated in plans sponsored by EFH Corp. that provide pension, health care and other retiree benefits. Accordingly, Oncor Holdings' consolidated financial statements have reflected allocations to Oncor of amounts related to these retiree benefit plans. Certain regulatory provisions allow for the recovery by Oncor of retiree benefit costs for all applicable former employees of EFH Corp.'s regulated predecessor integrated electric utility, which in addition to Oncor's active and retired employees consists largely of active and retired personnel engaged in TCEH's activities, related to service of those additional personnel prior to the deregulation and disaggregation of EFH Corp.'s businesses effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly, Oncor and TCEH entered into an agreement whereby Oncor assumed responsibility for applicable retiree benefit costs related to those personnel. |
In the fourth quarter 2012, EFH Corp. implemented certain amendments to its pension plan. These amendments resulted, in part, in the splitting off of the assets and liabilities under the plan associated with employees of Oncor and all retirees and terminated vested employees of EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (including discontinued businesses) to a new plan that is sponsored and administered by Oncor (the Oncor Plan). In connection with this change, EFH Corp. fully funded the obligations being assumed by the Oncor Plan that relate to participants' benefits not recoverable by Oncor. The change is not expected to materially affect Oncor's reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Under ERISA, EFH Corp. and Oncor are jointly and severally liable for the funding of the EFH Corp. and Oncor pension plans. EFH Corp. views the risk of this retained liability under ERISA related to the Oncor Plan to not be significant. Oncor's retained liability under ERISA relates to the nonrecoverable portion of the unfunded obligation for EFH Corp.'s active employees under collective bargaining, which totaled approximately $20 million at December 31, 2012.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements.
All dollar amounts in the tables in the following discussion and analysis are stated in millions of US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Business
EFIH, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of EFH Corp., is a Dallas, Texas-based holding company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Oncor Holdings, holds a majority interest (approximately 80%) in Oncor. Oncor is a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company principally engaged in providing delivery services to REPs, including subsidiaries of TCEH, that sell electricity to residential, business and other consumers in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas. Revenues from services provided to TCEH represented 27% and 29% of Oncor's total reported consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. EFIH has no reportable business segments. See Notes 1 and 2 to Financial Statements for a discussion of the reporting of our investment in Oncor Holdings as an equity method investment and a description of the "ring-fencing" measures implemented with respect to Oncor Holdings and Oncor. These measures were put in place to further enhance Oncor's credit quality and mitigate Oncor's and Oncor Holdings' exposure to the Texas Holdings Group with the intent to minimize the risk that a court would order any of the assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities to be substantively consolidated with those of any member of the Texas Holdings Group in the event any such member were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case. We believe, as several major credit rating agencies have acknowledged, that the likelihood of such substantive consolidation of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities' assets and liabilities is remote in consideration of the ring-fencing measures and applicable law.
Significant Activities and Events and Items Influencing Future Performance
Liability Management Activity — In October 2009, EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (excluding Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries) implemented a liability management program designed to reduce debt, capture debt discount and extend debt maturities through debt exchanges, repurchases and extensions. As a result of this program, a substantial majority of EFH Corp. (parent entity) debt has been exchanged for debt issued by EFIH.
In January 2013, EFIH issued $1.391 billion principal amount of debt in exchange for $1.266 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. debt and $139 million principal amount of EFIH debt. In 2013, EFIH distributed $6.360 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. debt that it received in debt exchanges, including $1.235 billion received in January 2013, as a dividend to EFH Corp., which cancelled it, leaving $1.361 billion principal amount of affiliate debt still held by EFIH. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for details of debt related activity in 2013.
EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (other than Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries) continue to consider and evaluate possible transactions and initiatives to address their highly leveraged balance sheets and significant cash interest requirements and will likely from time to time enter into discussions with their lenders and bondholders with respect to such transactions and initiatives. These transactions and initiatives may include, among others, debt for debt exchanges, recapitalizations, amendments to and extensions of debt obligations and debt for equity exchanges or conversions, including exchanges or conversions of debt of EFIH, EFCH and TCEH into equity of EFH Corp., EFCH, TCEH and/or any of their subsidiaries. These actions could result in holders of EFH Corp., EFIH and TCEH debt instruments not recovering the full principal amount of those obligations. See Note 1 to Financial Statements regarding "EFH Corp. Discussions with Creditors."
Sunset Review/2013 Texas Legislative Session — Sunset review is the regular assessment of the continuing need for a state agency to exist, and is grounded in the premise that an agency will be abolished unless legislation is passed to continue its functions. On a specified time schedule, the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission (Sunset Commission) closely reviews each agency and recommends action on each agency to the Texas Legislature, which action may include modifying or even abolishing the agency.
During the 2013 legislative session that ended in May 2013, the Texas Legislature passed the PUCT Sunset bill and extended the life of the PUCT for 10 years through 2023. The bill did not fundamentally change the management or operation of the PUCT related to electricity issues. The bill included various electric service regulation changes, including clarification on PUCT oversight of ERCOT, protections regarding customer privacy related to advanced meter data and new PUCT authority to issue cease and desist orders.
No legislation passed during the 2013 Texas legislative session, including the Sunset Review actions described above, is expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Oncor Matters with the PUCT — Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZs) — In 2009, the PUCT awarded Oncor CREZ construction projects (PUCT Docket Nos. 35665 and 37902) requiring 14 related Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) amendment proceedings before the PUCT for 17 projects. All 17 projects and 14 CCN amendments have been approved by the PUCT. The projects involve the construction of transmission lines and stations to support the transmission of electricity from renewable energy sources, principally wind generation facilities, in the western part of Texas to population centers in the eastern part of Texas. In addition to these projects, ERCOT completed a study in December 2010 that will result in Oncor and other transmission service providers building additional facilities to provide further voltage support to the transmission grid as a result of CREZ. Oncor currently estimates, based on these additional voltage support facilities and the approved routes and stations for its awarded CREZ projects, that CREZ construction costs will total approximately $2.0 billion. CREZ-related costs could change based on finalization of costs for the additional voltage support facilities and final detailed designs of subsequent project routes. At June 30, 2013, Oncor's cumulative CREZ-related capital expenditures totaled $1.772 billion, including $312 million in 2013. Oncor expects that all necessary permitting actions and other requirements and all line and station construction activities for Oncor's CREZ construction projects will be completed by the end of 2013. Additional voltage support projects are expected to be completed by early 2014, with the exception of one series capacitor project that is scheduled to be completed in December 2015.
Transmission Cost Recovery and Rates (PUCT Docket Nos. 41543, 41002 and 40451) — In order to reflect increases or decreases in its wholesale transmission costs, including fees paid to other transmission service providers, Oncor is required to file an update to the transmission cost recovery factor (TCRF) component of its retail delivery rates charged to REPs twice a year. In June 2013, Oncor filed an application to update the TCRF, which will become effective September 1, 2013. This application was designed to increase Oncor's billings for the period from September 2013 through February 2014 by $88 million. In November 2012, Oncor filed an application to update the TCRF, which became effective March 1, 2013. This application was designed to reduce Oncor's billings for the period from March 2013 through August 2013 by $47 million. In June 2012, Oncor filed an application to update the TCRF, which became effective in September 2012. This application was designed to increase Oncor's billings for the period from September 2012 through February 2013 by $129 million.
Transmission Interim Rate Update Applications (PUCT Docket Nos. 41706 and 41166) — In order to reflect changes in its invested transmission capital, PUCT rules allow Oncor to update its transmission cost of service (TCOS) rates by filing up to two interim TCOS rate adjustments in a calendar year. The TCOS rate is charged directly to third-party wholesale transmission providers benefiting from Oncor's transmission system and, through the TCRF component of Oncor's delivery rates, to REPs with retail customers in Oncor's service territory. In July 2013, Oncor filed an application for an interim update of its TCOS rate. Oncor anticipates PUCT approval of the new rate in September 2013. Oncor's annualized revenues will increase by an estimated $71 million with approximately $45 million of this increase recoverable through transmission costs charged to wholesale customers and $26 million recoverable from REPs through the TCRF component of Oncor's delivery rates. In January 2013, Oncor filed an application for an interim update of its TCOS rate. The new rate was approved by the PUCT and became effective in March 2013. Oncor's annualized revenues increased by an estimated $27 million with approximately $17 million of this increase recoverable through transmission costs charged to wholesale customers and $10 million recoverable from REPs through the TCRF component of Oncor's delivery rates.
Application for 2014 Energy Efficiency Cost Recovery Factor (PUCT Docket No. [41544]) — In May 2013, Oncor filed an application with the PUCT to request approval of the energy efficiency cost recovery factor (EECRF) for 2014. PUCT rules require Oncor to make an annual EECRF filing by the first business day in June in each year for implementation on March 1 of the next calendar year. The requested 2014 EECRF was $73 million, which is the same amount established for 2013, and would result in a monthly charge for residential customers of $1.01 as compared to the 2013 residential charge of $1.23 per month. PUCT approval is expected in the third quarter 2013.
Summary — We cannot predict future regulatory or legislative actions or any changes in economic and securities market conditions. Such actions or changes could significantly affect our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Results — Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Interest income – affiliates decreased $157 million to none in 2013. See Notes 3 and 5 to Financial Statements for discussion of January 2013 transactions and reclassification of long-term debt of affiliates we hold that resulted in interest received on such debt no longer being recorded as interest income.
Interest expense and related charges increased $66 million to $190 million in 2013. The increase was driven by higher interest paid/accrued reflecting issuance of EFIH Notes in 2012 and 2013 (see Note 3 to Financial Statements).
Income tax benefit totaled $67 million in 2013 compared to income tax expense of $12 million in 2012. The effective tax rate on pretax loss was 35.3% in 2013 compared to 36.4% on pretax income in 2012. The change in the effective tax rate was driven by a decrease in Texas margin tax expense due primarily to lower interest income.
Equity in earnings of our Oncor Holdings unconsolidated subsidiary (net of tax) decreased $9 million to $74 million in 2013. Equity in earnings in 2013 included a $3 million favorable tax effect due to resolution of certain income tax positions at Oncor. The decline reflected the effect of milder weather on revenues, lower interest income and higher depreciation, partially offset by higher revenues reflecting higher transmission rates and growth in points of delivery. See Note 2 to Financial Statements.
Net loss increased $153 million to $49 million in 2013 driven by a decrease in interest income and an increase in interest expense.
Financial Results — Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Interest income – affiliates decreased $26 million to $284 million in 2013. The 2013 amount represents previous mark-to-market gains on certain holdings of long-term debt of affiliates reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result of EFIH's distribution of these securities to EFH Corp. in the first quarter, these gains were recognized as interest income in accordance with GAAP. See Notes 3 and 5 to Financial Statements for discussion of January 2013 transactions and reclassification of long-term debt of affiliates we hold that resulted in interest received on such debt no longer being recorded as interest income.
Interest expense and related charges increased $142 million to $374 million in 2013. The increase was driven by higher interest paid/accrued reflecting issuance of EFIH Notes in 2012 and 2013 (see Note 3 to Financial Statements).
Income tax benefit totaled $31 million in 2013 compared to income tax expense of $29 million in 2012. The effective tax rate on pretax loss was 34.4% in 2013 compared to 37.2% on pretax income in 2012. The change in the effective tax rate was driven by a decrease in nondeductible interest on pushed down debt.
Equity in earnings of our Oncor Holdings unconsolidated subsidiary (net of tax) totaled $141 million in both 2013 and 2012. Equity in earnings in 2013 included an $11 million favorable tax effect due to resolution of certain income tax positions at Oncor. The results also reflected higher depreciation, lower interest income and the effect of milder weather, partially offset by higher revenues reflecting higher transmission rates and growth in points of delivery. See Note 2 to Financial Statements.
Net income decreased $108 million to $82 million in 2013 driven by the increase in interest expense.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash Flows — Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 — Cash used in operating activities totaled $237 million in 2013 compared to $130 million in 2012. The $107 million increase reflected $164 million in higher interest payments and a decrease of $92 million in interest received on affiliate debt, partially offset by the effect of $154 million in taxes paid to EFH Corp. in 2012, including amounts related to prior years. See Note 5 to Financial Statements for discussion of the distribution of EFH Corp. debt as a dividend to EFH Corp., which has resulted in lower cash interest received in 2013 as compared to 2012.
Amortization of debt issuance costs reported in the statement of consolidated cash flows relates to both the debt pushed down from EFH Corp. and the debt we have issued (see Note 3 to Financial Statements) and is reported in interest expense and related charges in the statement of consolidated income.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $478 million in 2013 compared to cash provided totaling $163 million in 2012. Activity in 2013 reflects a $680 million cash distribution to EFH Corp. (see Note 5 to Financial Statements), partially offset by the cash settlement of accrued interest totaling $208 million on the debt securities distributed to EFH Corp. in 2013. Activity in 2012 reflected the issuances of $1.150 billion of EFIH Notes and distributions of $950 million of the proceeds to EFH Corp.
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $680 million in 2013 and represents a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of EFIH Notes in August 2012 that EFIH removed from escrow (reported as restricted cash at December 31, 2012) to pay a dividend in this amount to EFH Corp. in January 2013 (see Note 5 to Financial Statements). There were no cash flows related to investing activities in 2012.
Liquidity Needs — Our liquidity needs represent interest and principal payments on our long-term debt and payments of income taxes to EFH Corp., which we expect to fund with cash on hand, distributions we receive from Oncor Holdings, interest and principal payments we receive on TCEH and EFH Corp. debt securities (see Note 5 to Financial Statements) and as necessary, to the extent available, additional liquidity sources, including borrowings from EFH Corp. (See "Distributions of Earnings from Oncor Holdings" below and Notes 2 and 6 to Financial Statements.)
Long-Term Debt Activity — In January 2013, EFIH issued $1.391 billion principal amount of debt in exchange for $1.266 billion principal amount of EFH Corp. debt and $139 million principal amount of EFIH debt. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for details of debt related activity in 2013, including EFH Corp. debt returned by EFIH as dividends to EFH Corp., which cancelled it.
Debt Capacity — We believe that we (excluding the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities) and EFH Corp. collectively are permitted under our applicable debt agreements to issue (subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in our applicable debt documents) up to approximately $250 million of additional aggregate principal amount of debt secured by EFIH's equity interest in Oncor Holdings on a second-priority basis.
In addition, EFIH is permitted under its debt agreements to issue up to approximately $375 million of additional principal amount of senior unsecured debt (subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in its debt agreements). Such unsecured debt may be incurred for, among other things, exchanges for EFH Corp. unsecured debt.
These amounts are estimates based on our current interpretation of the covenants set forth in our debt agreements and do not take into account exceptions in the debt agreements that may allow for the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt, including, but not limited to, acquisition debt, refinancing debt, capital leases and hedging obligations. Moreover, such amounts could change from time to time as a result of, among other things, the termination of any debt agreement (or specific terms therein) or amendments to the debt agreements that result from negotiations with new or existing lenders. In addition, covenants included in agreements governing additional future debt may impose greater restrictions on our incurrence of secured or unsecured debt. Consequently, the actual amount of senior secured or unsecured debt that we are permitted to incur under our debt agreements could be materially different than the amounts provided above.
EFIH Toggle Notes Interest Election — We have the option every six months at our discretion, ending with the interest payment due June 2016, to use the payment-in-kind (PIK) feature of our toggle notes ($1.393 billion aggregate principal amount issued in December 2012 and January 2013) in lieu of making cash interest payments. Once we make a PIK election, the election is valid for each succeeding interest payment period until we revoke the applicable election. Use of the PIK feature will be evaluated at each election period, taking into account market conditions and other relevant factors at such time.
We made our June 2013 interest payment and expect to make our December 2013 interest payment on the EFIH Toggle Notes by using the PIK feature of those notes. During the applicable PIK interest periods, the interest rate on these notes is increased from 11.25% to 12.25%. As a result of the PIK election, we increased the aggregate principal amount of the notes by $83 million in June 2013 and expect to issue an additional $90 million in December 2013. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for further discussion of the EFIH Toggle Notes.
Distributions of Earnings from Oncor Holdings — Oncor Holdings' distributions of earnings to us totaled $80 million and $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Oncor Holdings' board of directors also declared a distribution to us totaling $68 million payable on August 1, 2013. See Note 2 to Financial Statements for discussion of limitations on amounts Oncor can distribute to its members.
Oncor has credit risk exposure to trade accounts receivable from TXU Energy, which relate to delivery services provided by Oncor to TXU Energy. These trade accounts receivable amounts totaled $133 million, net of $7 million in letters of credit posted by TCEH, at June 30, 2013. Because Oncor had committed to the PUCT, in connection with the Merger, that it would not seek regulatory rate recovery for credit losses associated with affiliated REPs, Oncor's earnings would be reduced by the amount (after-tax) of any default by TXU Energy.
Financial Covenants, Credit Rating Provisions and Cross Default Provisions — Covenants and Restrictions Related to EFIH Notes and Pushed Down Debt — The indentures governing the EFIH Notes, EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes and EFH Corp. Toggle Notes contain covenants that could have a material impact on our liquidity and operations. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for discussion of our long-term debt, including EFH Corp. debt pushed down to us as a result of our guarantee of the debt.
Adjusted EBITDA (as used in the restricted payments covenants contained in the indentures governing the EFIH Notes and the EFH Corp. Notes) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $1.779 billion and $4.759 billion, respectively. See Exhibits 99(b) and 99(c) for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for EFIH and EFH Corp., respectively, for the six and twelve months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The table below summarizes various financial ratios of EFIH and EFH Corp. that are applicable under the indentures governing the EFIH Notes, EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes and EFH Corp. Toggle Notes at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the corresponding covenant threshold levels at June 30, 2013. The debt incurrence and restricted payments/limitations on investments covenants thresholds presented below represent levels that must be met in order for EFH Corp. and EFIH to incur certain debt or make certain restricted payments and/or investments. Our debt agreements do not contain maintenance covenants. In January 2013, in accordance with amendments to the terms of the EFH Corp. 9.75% Senior Notes due 2019 and EFH Corp. 10% Notes due 2020 and their governing indentures, restrictive covenants under those notes were removed (see Note 3 to Financial Statements).

Material Cross Default/Acceleration Provisions — Certain of our financing arrangements contain provisions that could result in an event of default if there were a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that could or does result in an acceleration of payments due. Such provisions are referred to as "cross default" or "cross acceleration" provisions.
The indentures governing the EFIH Notes contain a cross acceleration provision whereby a payment default at maturity or on acceleration of principal indebtedness under any instrument or instruments of EFIH or any of its restricted subsidiaries or of any debt that EFIH guarantees in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $250 million may cause the acceleration of the EFIH Notes.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There have been no recently issued accounting standards effective after June 30, 2013 that are expected to materially impact our financial statements.
| |
Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk is the risk that we may experience a loss in value as a result of changes in market conditions such as interest rates that may be experienced in the ordinary course of business. We may transact in financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk related to our debt, but there are currently no such hedges in place. All of our long-term debt at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 carried fixed interest rates.
Except as discussed below, the information required hereunder is not significantly different from the information set forth in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in our 2012 Form 10-K and is therefore not presented herein. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for discussion of debt issued and retired in 2013.
Credit Risk
Oncor's Credit Risk — Credit risk relates to the risk of loss associated with nonperformance by counterparties. Oncor's customers consist primarily of REPs. As a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining certification, a REP must meet the financial resource standards established by the PUCT. Meeting these standards does not guarantee that a REP will be able to perform its obligations. REP certificates granted by the PUCT are subject to suspension and revocation for significant violation of Texas Public Utility Regulatory Act and PUCT rules. Significant violations include failure to timely remit payments for invoiced charges to a transmission and distribution utility pursuant to the terms of tariffs approved by the PUCT. PUCT rules allow for the recovery of uncollectible amounts from nonaffiliated REPs, reducing the credit risk of such receivables.
At June 30, 2013, Oncor's exposure to credit risk associated with accounts receivable from nonaffiliate customers totaled $375 million. The nonaffiliated customer receivable amount is before the allowance for uncollectible accounts, which totaled $3 million, and includes trade accounts receivable from REPs totaling $288 million, which are almost entirely noninvestment grade. At June 30, 2013, REP subsidiaries of one nonaffiliated entity collectively represented approximately 12% of the nonaffiliated trade receivable amount. No other nonaffiliated parties represented 10% or more of the total exposure. Oncor views its exposure to this customer to be within an acceptable level of risk tolerance considering PUCT rules and regulations; however, this concentration increases the risk that a default would have a material effect on cash flows.
See "Financial Condition — Distributions of Earnings from Oncor Holdings" above for discussion of Oncor's credit risk to accounts receivable from affiliates.
See Note 6 to Financial Statements for discussion of transactions between Oncor and TCEH and EFH Corp.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.
