Summary
This Form 8-K filing from Exelon Corporation, dated March 24, 2008, serves primarily as a supplemental submission related to their previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The core of this filing involves the attachment of financial statements (Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows, Balance Sheets, Shareholders' Equity, and Comprehensive Income) formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). These XBRL documents are explicitly stated as unaudited and intended for technological testing purposes, not as the official financial statements for investment decision-making. Investors should note that the company advises continued reliance on the officially filed HTML versions of their financial statements. The XBRL data presented here is experimental and should not be used to make investment decisions. The filing also clarifies that the information contained within this 8-K, including Exhibit 100, is not considered "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act and thus does not carry the same liability. This filing's main purpose is to advance the SEC's XBRL initiative.
