Report of Independent Accountants
To the Personnel and Compensation
Committee of Conectiv:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") at December 30, 2000 and
1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 30, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan, a defined
contribution plan, (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the
Plan's provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
General
On March 1, 1998, Atlantic Energy, Inc., the former parent company of Atlantic
City Electric Company, and Delmarva Power & Light Company consummated a merger
transaction to form Conectiv (the "Merger"). As a consequence of the Merger, the
Plan was renamed from Delmarva Power & Light Company Savings and Thrift Plan and
the Atlantic Electric 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan - A (Management) to
Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan effective July 1, 1998. In addition, the
ESOP Accounts in the Plan result from the merger, as of November 1, 1998, of
Delmarva Power & Light Company Payroll Based Employee Stock Ownership Plan and
the Atlantic City Electric Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan with the Plan.
Contributions
Eligible employees, as defined by the Plan document, of Conectiv and
subsidiaries (the "Company") may participate in the Plan. Participants may
contribute from 1% to 20% of their base pay, with the Company contributing a
matching amount equal to 50% of each participant's contributions up to 6% of the
participant's base pay of any participant who is a Non-Bargaining Unit Employee
or up to 5% of the base pay of any participant who is a Local 1238a Employee or
a Local 1307a Employee. The Company may make its matching contribution, either
by contribution of cash to purchase the Company's common stock or newly issued
or purchased shares of the Company's common stock. The Plan includes a 401(k)
option, which allows participants to defer income taxes on their before-tax
contributions until such contributions and earnings are withdrawn from the Plan.
Participants may elect to contribute on an after-tax or before-tax basis and to
invest their contributions among the investment funds at their discretion, in
increments of 5%. Dividends earned on the Company common stock invested for the
benefit of participants is reinvested in Company common stock, which may, at the
Company's option, be purchased by the Plan trustee on the open market or from
the Company. A participant who is at least 55 years old with at least 10 years
of service and who has been a participant of the Plan and/or prior Plans for 5
years may direct a percentage of his common stock balance, with certain
limitations, to be transferred to any investment fund or funds available.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
an allocation of Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant account
balances, as defined in the Plan.
Vesting
Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants are fully vested at all times in all
amounts held in their accounts.
Participant Loans
The Plan allows participants to obtain loans from their individual accounts.
Participants may borrow up to 50% of their account balance subject to a minimum
loan of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000. Loans have terms from one to five years
and bear interest at the average rate charged by at least three financial
institutions selected by the Plan Committee for comparable loans, originating on
the first business day of the month in which the Plan loan is made, ranging
between 7.1% and 10.5% at
4
December 30, 2000. Principal and interest is paid ratably through weekly payroll
deductions or by prepayment in a lump sum. A participant may not have more than
two loans outstanding at any time. Loan repayments are made through payroll
withholdings from the participant's earnings. A participant may pre-pay a loan
at any time without penalty. A participant's loan is repayable within a maximum
of five years or immediately upon termination of employment. Interest is
currently accrued at the prime rate, which was in existence on the first day of
the month in which the loan was issued. Loans are secured by a lien on the
participant's interest in the Plan.
Payment of Benefits
If a participant retires, dies, becomes permanently disabled, or otherwise
separates from the Company, the participant or participant's beneficiary is
entitled to the full amount of his account as valued on the applicable valuation
date. In the event of a participant's death, distribution of his account will be
made as soon as administratively practicable upon the receipt of appropriate
documentation from the designated beneficiary. Distributions for reasons of
retirement, permanent disability or termination will be made upon written
request. Distributions of a participant's account may be made in (1) a lump sum
cash payment (2) in regular installments for a period not exceeding the joint
and survivor life expectancy of the participant and his or her spouse or other
beneficiary (3) partial lump sums upon the request of the participant, with
certain limitations stated in the Plan. Distributions from the Conectiv Class A
ESOP Stock Fund and the Conectiv PAYSOP Stock Fund may be made in Company stock
or cash. Deferrals of distributions cannot be made past the age of 70 1/2.
While employed, a participant may make certain withdrawals upon written notice
of basic and supplemental contributions for the reason of financial hardship, as
defined in the Plan. Hardship withdrawals must be approved by the Committee. At
the age of 59 1/2, the participant may withdraw any portion of his basic and
supplemental contribution amounts.
Before-tax contributions, Company matching and supplemental contributions, and
all investment earnings are fully taxable upon distribution to the participant.
Special lump-sum distribution rules apply for full plan withdrawals made after
age 59 1/2. A 10% surtax, as well as a 20% mandatory withholding, is applicable
to taxable withdrawals and distributions prior to age 59 1/2, subject to certain
exceptions.
A participant with less than 60 months of Plan participation will incur a
six-month suspension period upon making any withdrawal of the participant's
after-tax contributions. During the suspension period, no matching contributions
will be credited to the participant's account. Participants with 60 or more
months of Plan participation will incur a six-month suspension of Company
contributions when any part of the Company contributions are withdrawn. After
making a hardship withdrawal of before-tax contributions, a participant is
prohibited from making contributions or receiving Company matching contributions
for a period of one year.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time subject to the
provisions of ERISA.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies, which conform with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, have been used consistently
in the preparation of the Plan's financial statements:
5
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for investment
contracts, which are valued at contract value. Common stock is valued at quoted
market prices. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted
market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at
year-end. Shares of collective trust funds are valued at net asset value.
Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
The Plan invests in investment contracts through the Conectiv Inc. Stable Value
Fund (the "Fund") and the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust (the "Trust"). The
Fund consists of guaranteed investment contracts, $9,895,799, with various banks
and insurance companies ("Issuers"). Additionally, the Fund currently holds
units of the Trust, a common / collective trust sponsored by the Vanguard Group
with a value of $10,387,090. The Fund is credited with earnings on the
underlying investments and charged for Plan withdrawals and administrative
expenses charged by the Issuers. The investment contracts included in the Fund
are carried at contract value, which approximates fair value, because the
contracts are fully benefit responsive. The Fund also included net other
liabilities (including units receivable and payable) in the amount of $102,994.
The crediting interest rates of the investment contracts ranged from 5.84% -
6.45% at December 30, 2000. There are no reserves required against contract
value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The Fund was created
by Vanguard for the Plan to account for its investments in investment contracts
and intends to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit. As the
existing contracts mature, the proceeds are invested in the Trust.
The Trust is a tax-exempt collective trust registered in the State of
Pennsylvania, which invests primarily in investment contracts issued by
insurance companies and commercial banks, and similar types of fixed-principal
investments. The Fund intends to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00
per unit.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds and a collective trust fund managed
by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company ("VFTC"). VFTC acts as
trustee for Plan assets. Transactions in such investments qualify as
party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction
rules.

NOTE 7 - PLAN EXPENSES
All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company.
NOTE 8 - TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated October 27, 1995 that the Plan and related Trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan's
management believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
