FirstEnergy has tax returns that are under review at the audit or appeals level by the IRS (2008-2010) and state tax
authorities. Tax returns for all state jurisdictions are open from 2006-2009. The IRS began auditing the year 2008 in
February 2008 and the audit was completed in July 2010 with one item under appeal. The 2009 tax year audit began in
February 2009 and the 2010 tax year audit began in February 2010. Management believes that adequate reserves have
been recognized and final settlement of these audits is not expected to have a material adverse effect on FirstEnergy’s
financial condition or results of operations.
