CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act), ESI Tractebel Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition Corp.) and Northeast Energy, LP (NE LP) are hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause their actual results and the actual results of ESI Tractebel Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.), Northeast Energy Associates, a limited partnership (NEA) and North Jersey Energy Associates, a limited partnership (NJEA) (collectively, the Partnerships and, together with Funding Corp., Acquisition Corp. and NE LP, the registrants), to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Reform Act) made by or on behalf of the registrants in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but n ot always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "believe," "could," "estimated," "may," "plan," "potential," "projection," "target," "outlook") are not statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors (in addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements) that could cause the registrants' actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of any of the registrants.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the registrants undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
The following are some important factors that could have a significant impact on the registrants' operations and financial results, and could cause the registrants' actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:
·	The registrants are subject to changes in laws or regulations, including the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (PURPA) and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, changing governmental policies and regulatory actions, including those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), with respect to, but not limited to, acquisition and disposal of assets and facilities, and present or prospective wholesale and retail competition.
·	The registrants are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, waste management, natural resources and health and safety that could, among other things, restrict or limit the output of certain facilities or the use of certain fuels required for the production of electricity and/or require additional pollution control equipment and otherwise increase costs. There are significant capital, operating and other costs associated with compliance with these environmental statutes, rules and regulations, and those costs could be even more significant in the future.
·	The registrants operate in a changing market environment influenced by various legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding deregulation, regulation or restructuring of the energy industry, including deregulation of the production and sale of electricity. The registrants will need to adapt to these changes and may face increasing competitive pressure.
·	A substantial portion of the output from the Partnerships' power generation facilities is sold under long-term power purchase agreements to three regulated utilities, two of which are under common control. The limited number of power purchasers creates a concentration of counterparty risk. The remaining output from the power generation facilities is sold, from time to time, in the merchant markets. In addition, it is expected that upon expiration of the power purchase agreements, the residual portion of the electrical output will be sold in the merchant market. Merchant plants sell power based on market conditions at the time of sale. The amount and timing of revenues to be received from the merchant markets in the future is uncertain. In December 2003, an amended and restated power purchase agreement between NJEA and a New Jersey utility became effective and in February 2005, amended and restated power purchase agreements between NEA and two Massachusetts utilities became effective. These agreements provide for, among other things, the ability to deliver electricity to these utilities from sources other than the NJEA and NEA facilities.
·	The operation of power generation facilities involves many risks, including start up risks, breakdown or failure of equipment, transmission lines or pipelines, use of new technology, the dependence on a specific fuel source, including the supply and transportation of fuel, or the impact of unusual or adverse weather conditions (including natural disasters), as well as the risk of performance below expected or contracted levels of output or efficiency. This could result in lost revenues and/or increased expenses. Insurance, warranties or performance guarantees may not cover any or all of the lost revenues or increased expenses, including the cost of replacement power. Breakdown or failure of an operating facility may prevent the facility from performing under applicable power sales agreements which, in certain situations, could result in termination of the agreement or incurring a liability for liquidated damages.
·	The registrants use derivative instruments, such as swaps and options, futures and forwards, to manage their commodity and financial market risks. The registrants could recognize financial losses as a result of volatility in the market values of these contracts, or if a counterparty fails to perform. In the absence of actively quoted market prices and pricing information from external sources, the valuation of these derivative instruments involves management's judgment or use of estimates. As a result, changes in the underlying assumptions or use of alternative valuation methods could affect the reported fair value of these contracts.
·	In addition to risks discussed elsewhere, risk factors specifically affecting the registrants' success include the ability to efficiently operate generating assets, the successful and timely completion of project restructuring activities, the price and supply of fuel (including transportation), transmission constraints, competition from new sources of generation, excess generation capacity and demand for power. There can be significant volatility in market prices for fuel and electricity, and there are other financial, counterparty and market risks that are beyond the control of the registrants. The registrants' inability or failure to effectively hedge their assets or positions against changes in commodity prices, interest rates, counterparty credit risk or other risk measures could significantly impair their future financial results. In addition, the registrants' business depends upon transmission facilities owned and operated by others; if transmission is disrupted or capacity is inadequate or unavailable , the registrants' ability to sell and deliver its wholesale power may be limited.
·	The registrants' results of operations are affected by changes in the weather. Severe weather can be destructive, causing outages and/or property damage, and could disrupt fuel supply which could require additional costs to be incurred.
·	The registrants are subject to costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims, as well as the effect of new, or changes in, tax laws, rates or policies, rates of inflation, accounting standards, securities laws or corporate governance requirements.
·	The registrants are subject to direct and indirect effects of terrorist threats and activities. Generation and transmission facilities, in general, have been identified as potential targets. The effects of terrorist threats and activities include, among other things, terrorist actions or responses to such actions or threats, the inability to generate, purchase or transmit power, the risk of a significant slowdown in growth or a decline in the U.S. economy, delay in economic recovery in the U.S., and the increased cost and adequacy of security and insurance.
·	The registrants' ability to obtain insurance, and the cost of and coverage provided by such insurance, could be affected by national, state or local events as well as registrant-specific events.
·	The registrants are substantially leveraged. The ability of the registrants to make interest and principal payments and fund capital expenditures is dependent on the future performance of the Partnerships. Future performance is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the control of the registrants. The registrants are also subject to restrictive covenants under their debt agreements that will limit the ability to borrow additional funds.
·	All obligations of the Partnerships are non-recourse to the direct and indirect owners of the registrants. Following any default by the Partnerships, security is limited to the owners' economic interests in the Partnerships. The owners have no meaningful revenues other than the distributions they receive from the Partnerships. In the event of default, the ability of the owners to satisfy any obligations will be limited to amounts payable by the Partnerships as distributions.
The issues and associated risks and uncertainties described above are not the only ones the registrants may face. Additional issues may arise or become material as the energy industry evolves. The risks and uncertainties associated with these additional issues could impair the registrants' businesses and financial results in the future.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Condensed Combined Financial Statements and Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the 2004 Form 10-K for the registrants. In the opinion of the registrants' management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been made. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year.

1. Combined Statement of Partners' Equity

NEA's and NJEA's general partner (GP) and limited partner (LP) equity balances are comprised of the following:

	NEA						NJEA						Combined
	GP		LP		Total		GP		LP		Total		GP		LP		Total
	(Thousands of Dollars)
Balances, December 31, 2004	$	2,509	$	248,504	$	251,013	$	3,654	$	361,636	$	365,290	$	6,163	$	610,140	$	616,303
Balances, September 30, 2005	$	2,991	$	296,257	$	299,248	$	3,643	$	360,444	$	364,087	$	6,634	$	656,701	$	663,335

NEA received approximately a $29.9 million non-cash contribution from NE LP related to costs associated with the execution of the amended and restated power purchase agreement, as described in Note 5 below, in the first quarter of 2005. Affiliates of NE LP's partners paid these costs in the form of loans in the same amount to NE LP with a maturity date of December 31, 2005. These loans were repaid with interest in April 2005 from funds otherwise available for NE LP partnership distributions.

2. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

NE LP and the Partnerships reclassified net realized gains of approximately $0.5 million and $1.5 million into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The effective portion of the net gain/loss on cash flow hedges included within comprehensive income was a net gain of approximately $12 thousand and approximately $41 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. There were no net gains/losses on cash flow hedges in comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on derivative transactions represent the net unrealized effect of derivative transactions entered into as economic hedges (but which do not qualify for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (FAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended) and the ineffective portion of transactions accounted for as cash flow hedges. These transactions have been entered into to reduce NE LP and the Partnerships' aggregate fuel cost and purchased power price risk. Changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases are recognized in operating revenues and fuel purchases are recognized in fuel expense in NE LP's and the Partnerships' condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations, unless hedge accounting is applied. NE LP and the Partnerships' had no instruments that qualified for hedge accounting in the first nine months of 2005.

Unrealized mark-to-market (losses)/gains on derivative transactions were $(8.2) million and $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Unrealized mark-to-market (losses)/gains on derivative transactions were $(4.9) million and $49.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, NE LP and the Partnerships recognized a net loss of $40.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 due to the write-off of derivative assets associated with NJEA's termination of its two off-peak power purchase contracts with FPL Energy Power Marketing, Inc. (PMI) and Suez Energy Marketing NA, Inc. (formerly known as Tractebel Energy Marketing, Inc.) (TEMI) which is reflected in a reduction to revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The current portion of the derivative assets is $3.6 million at September 30, 2005 and is included in the condensed combined and consolidated balance sheets under prepaid expenses and oth er current assets. There were no non-current derivative assets at September 30, 2005. The current portion of derivative liabilities is $8.6 million at September 30, 2005 and is included in the condensed combined and consolidated balance sheets under other accrued expenses. There were no non-current derivative liabilities at September 30, 2005.

3. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income below includes net income and net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of forecasted fuel purchases for both NE LP and the Partnerships of approximately $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. There were no differences between comprehensive income and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

5. Cogeneration Facilities, Power Purchase Agreements and Carbon Dioxide Facility

On February 28, 2005, the amended and restated power purchase agreements among NEA as seller, and Boston Edison Company (Boston Edison) and Commonwealth Electric Company (Commonwealth) as utility purchasers became effective. The amended and restated agreements provide for, among other things, NEA obtaining the right to source power from the wholesale market in addition to sourcing power from NEA's facility. Affiliates of NE LP's partners paid approximately $29.9 million to the utility purchasers in the form of loans to NE LP in the same amount due on December 31, 2005. This payment is capitalized as part of the power purchase agreement's intangible asset on the balance sheet at September 30, 2005. These loans were repaid with interest in April 2005 from funds otherwise available for NE LP partnership distributions. As a result of the amended and restated power purchase agreements, NE LP and the Partnerships adopted EITF 91-6, "Revenue Recognition of Long-Term Power Sales Co ntracts", which requires NE LP and the Partnerships to recognize revenue as the lesser of the amount billable under the contract or the estimated average revenue over the term of the contract. Consequently, NE LP and the Partnerships recognized a reduction to revenue of $2.9 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

On March 2, 2005, the gas purchase and supply agreement between NEA and ProGas Limited of Alberta, Canada (ProGas) was terminated by agreement (NEA Termination Agreement). Under the terms of the NEA Termination Agreement, NEA continued to purchase 12,507 MMbtu/day through October 31, 2005 at a fixed price and the fuel supplier paid NEA $25.0 million on November 1, 2005. NEA recognized a $22.5 million gain associated with this termination on the effective date.

Also on February 28, 2005, NEA terminated its long-term gas supply agreements with PMI and TEMI, which had been effective since September 2003 and January 2004, and replaced them with two long-term gas supply agreements with PMI and TEMI effective March 31, 2005 that will enable NEA to purchase sufficient fuel for production.

NEA and New England Power Company (New England Power) terminated the remaining power purchase agreement effective February 28, 2005. The terminated agreement had covered approximately 8% of NEA's output up to 25 megawatts. The termination of this power purchase agreement resulted in the recognition of a $2.4 million loss representing the current net book value of the agreement.

To meet the FERC regulations for a qualifying facility (QF), NEA sold thermal energy to an unrelated third party which leased a carbon dioxide facility owned by NEA and is located on NEA's property. As a result of the amended and restated power purchase agreements between NEA and two Massachusetts utilities, NEA filed for and was granted Electric Wholesale Generator (EWG) status and no longer operates as a QF. Therefore, NEA issued a notice of termination to the lessee of the carbon dioxide facility to terminate the operating lease, steam sales agreement and other ancillary agreements effective April 30, 2005. NEA recorded a $0.6 million loss in the first quarter of 2005 associated with obligations arising from termination of the operating lease.

NEA recognized a gain of approximately $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to the gain on termination of the gas purchase and supply agreement with ProGas partially offset by the loss on termination of the power purchase agreement with New England Power, and the termination of the operating lease agreement.

On February 28, 2005, a supplemental fuel management subcontract agreement was entered into to allow PMI to purchase energy, ancillary services and capacity from the NEA facility or from the marketplace and sell to the purchasers under the NEA amended and restated power purchase agreements.

Also on February 28, 2005, NJEA terminated its two off-peak power purchase contracts with PMI and TEMI, which had been entered into effective January 2004, each of which provided for the purchase of up to 125 mw per off-peak hour at a fixed price to supply power to the New Jersey utility.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Financial Statements contained herein (the Notes) and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the 2004 Form 10-K for the registrants. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year. In the following discussion, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year.

Results of Operations

NE LP Consolidated and the Partnerships - NE LP's consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $36.6 million compared to $24.4 million for the same period in 2004 and the Partnerships' net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $41.0 million compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2004. NE LP's consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $75.9 million compared to $174.0 million for the same period in 2004, and the Partnerships' combined net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $89.3 million compared to $188.3 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, is primarily attributable to fuel savings of approximately $13.3 million due to the NJEA and NEA amended and restated power purchase agreements. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 incl uded a net gain of $19.5 million on restructuring of contracts and fuel savings of $48.7 million, favorable pricing primarily on purchased power of $19.8 million and net losses of $40.4 million from the termination of power purchase contracts which are reflected in revenues. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included a net gain of $103.2 million on restructuring of contracts and net unrealized mark-to-market gains of $49.1 million.

The net gain on restructurings of contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of a gain of $22.5 million recognized on the effective date of a termination agreement between NEA and one of its fuel suppliers, partially offset by a loss of $2.4 million recognized on the effective date of the termination of the remaining power purchase agreement between NEA and New England Power and a loss of $0.6 million recognized on the effective date of the termination of the operating lease on the carbon dioxide facility. The net gain on restructurings of contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 consisted of a gain of $115.1 million recognized on the effective date of a partial termination agreement between NEA and one of its fuel suppliers, partially offset by a loss of $11.9 million recognized on the exercise date of NJEA's option to terminate its steam sales contract.

In February 2005, NJEA terminated its two off-peak power purchase contracts with PMI and TEMI, which had been entered into effective January 2004, each of which provided for the purchase of up to 125 mw per off-peak hour at a fixed price to supply power to the New Jersey utility. The derivative assets associated with these contracts were subsequently written-off resulting in net losses of $40.4 million in the first nine months of 2005. NE LP included unrealized mark-to-market gains on these contracts of $49.1 million for the same period in 2004.

Revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to higher purchased power costs of $43.6 million due to market sourcing of power to fulfill the Partnerships' obligations under the power purchase agreements and net unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative instruments of $6.1 million in the same period in the prior year that did not recur in the current quarter. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing under the restructured power purchase agreements of $47.7 million and an increase in utility energy bank amortization of $1.2 million. The energy bank balances are amortized in accordance with scheduled or specified rates under the NEA power purchase agreement. NE LP's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of $114.8 million and $115.2 million of power sales to utilities and $0.0 and $0.5 million of steam sales, respectively. Partnerships' revenues for the three months e nded September 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of $114.8 million and $115.4 million of power sales to utilities and $0.0 and $0.5 million of steam sales, respectively.

Fuel expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 by $44.9 million as a result of the NJEA and NEA amended and restated power purchase agreements due to the supply of power from the market rather than the facilities and by $5.8 million resulting from increased gains on fuel sales. These decreases were partially offset by the increased cost of market priced gas of $29.0 million and net unrealized mark-to-market losses of $8.2 million on derivative instruments primarily associated with gas supply provided by ProGas under the NEA Termination Agreement.

Revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to a realized loss of $40.4 million described above, compared to a net unrealized mark-to-market gain of $49.1 million in the same period in 2004, and due to higher purchased power costs of $88.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to market sourcing of power to fulfill the Partnerships' obligations under the power purchase agreements. In addition, steam sales decreased $0.9 million due to the termination of the steam sales agreement. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing under the restructured power purchase agreements of $108.1 million, an increase in the utility energy bank amortization of $4.5 million, higher miscellaneous revenues of $1.4 million, and higher capacity revenues of $0.5 million. The decrease in the energy bank balances is determined in accordance with scheduled or specified rates under a certain power purchase agreement. NE&nbs p;LP's revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of $253.5 million and $316.5 million of power sales to utilities and $0.2 million and $1.1 million of steam sales, respectively. The Partnerships' revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of $253.5 million and $316.8 million of power sales to utilities and $0.2 million and $1.1 million of steam sales, respectively.

Fuel expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 by $95.2 million as a result of the NJEA and NEA amended and restated power purchase agreements due to the supply of power from the market rather than the facilities and $8.8 million resulting from increased gains on fuel sales. These decreases were partially offset by the increased cost of market priced gas of $50.0 million and net unrealized mark-to-market losses on derivatives of $4.9 million primarily associated with gas supply provided by ProGas under the NEA Termination Agreement.

Operations and maintenance expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to the supply of power from the market under the amended and restated power purchased agreements resulting in lower generation at the facilities and consequently, lower variable production costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to the addition of an intangible asset of $29.9 million as part of the NEA amended and restated power purchase agreement.

General and administrative expenditures increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to higher professional fees associated with the power purchase agreement restructuring and higher fees to the managing general partner.

NE LP makes scheduled interest and principal payments on its outstanding debt. NE LP is scheduled to make semi-annual principal and interest payments on June 30 and December 30. On June 30, 2005, NE LP made the scheduled debt service payment. Interest expense for NE LP decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 due to decreasing principal balances on its outstanding debt and energy bank liability.

The Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp. - Both the Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp. use interest income and principal payments received from the notes receivable from the Partnerships and NE LP, respectively, to make scheduled interest and principal payments on their outstanding debt. Both entities are scheduled to make semi-annual principal and interest payments on June 30 and December 30. On June 30, 2005, the Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp. made the scheduled debt service payments. Interest expense for both the Funding Corp. and Acquisition Corp. decreased for the three and nine months ended September 2005 compared to 2004 due to decreasing principal balances on their outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

NE LP and the Partnerships - The increases in net cash provided by operating activities for NE LP and the Partnerships for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were primarily due to lower fuel costs incurred in 2005 partially offset by higher purchased power as a result of the NEA amended and restated power purchase agreements discussed above.

Each of NE LP and the Partnerships make scheduled interest and principal payments on their outstanding debt. Each are scheduled to make semi-annual principal and interest payments on June 30 and December 30. On June 30, 2005, NE LP and the Partnerships' made the scheduled debt service payments.

NE LP and the Partnerships' long-term contractual obligations at September 30, 2005 are shown in Note 4.

Letters of credit were established to satisfy requirements in certain power purchase agreements. As of September 30, 2005, one letter of credit related to a power purchase agreement remains. This letter of credit can be drawn upon in multiple drawings in favor of the power purchaser in the event that the power purchase agreement has terminated at the time when there is a positive energy bank balance existing.

In February 2005, affiliates of NE LP's partners paid approximately $29.9 million to the utility purchasers associated with NEA's amended and restated power purchase agreements in the form of loans to NE LP in the same amount due December 31, 2005. These loans were repaid with interest in April 2005 from funds otherwise available for NE LP partnership distributions.

Market Risk Sensitivity

Commodity price risk - The prices received by the Partnerships for power sales under their long-term contracts do not move precisely in tandem with the prices paid by the Partnerships for natural gas. To manage the price risk associated with purchases of natural gas and purchases of power, the Partnerships may, from time to time, enter into certain transactions either through public exchanges or by means of over-the-counter transactions with specific counterparties. The Partnerships manage their risk associated with purchases of natural gas and power through the use of natural gas and power swap agreements and options. The swap agreements require the Partnerships to pay a fixed price (absolutely or within a specified range) in return for a variable price on specified notional quantities of natural gas and power. The options consist of purchased call options to establish a maximum price for natural gas and power, and written put options are executed to offset the cost of the purchased call options.

NE LP and the Partnerships use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure market risk in their mark-to-market portfolios. The VaR is the estimated nominal loss of market value based on a one-day holding period at a 95% confidence level using historical simulation methodology. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the VaR figures (in thousands) are as follows:

		Trading and Managed Hedges(a)		Non-Qualifying Hedges and Hedges in OCI(b)		Total
December 31, 2004		$	- -	$	3,165	$	3,165
September 30, 2005		$	904	$	-	$	904
Average for the nine months ended September 30, 2005		$	252	$	1,865	$	819
(a)	Trading and managed hedges are essentially all changes in the derivatives' fair value for power purchases and sales and trading activities, which are recognized on a net basis in operating revenues and for fuel purchases and sales which are recognized on a net basis in fuel expense.
(b)	Non-qualifying hedges are employed to reduce the market risk exposure to physical assets which are not marked to market. The VaR figures for the non-qualifying hedges and hedges in OCI category do not represent the economic exposure to commodity price movements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Risk Sensitivity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
	As of September 30, 2005, the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP had performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP, or their equivalent (Principal Officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Officers concluded the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP required to be included in the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act and ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accum ulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Acquisition Corp. and NE LP have a Disclosure Committee, which is made up of several key management employees and reports directly to the Principal Officers of each of the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP to monitor and evaluate these disclosure controls and procedures. Due to the inherent limitations of the effectiveness of any established disclosure controls and procedures, management of the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of their disclosure controls and procedures will be met.
(b)	Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
	The Acquisition Corp. and NE LP are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and of their internal controls. This results in refinements to processes. However, there has been no change in the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Acquisition Corp.'s and NE LP's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information
(a)	None
(b)	None
(c)	Other Events
	Reference is made to Item 1. Business - Partnerships' Operations in the 2004 Form 10-K for the registrants.
	In early August 2005, President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (2005 Energy Act). The 2005 Energy Act is comprehensive legislation that will substantially affect the regulation of energy companies, including provisions that amend federal energy laws and provide the FERC with new oversight responsibilities. Among the important changes to be implemented as a result of this legislation are the following:
	·	The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, which regulated the financial structure of utility holding companies and, among other things, significantly restricted mergers and acquisitions in the electric utility industry, will be repealed effective February 2006 and will be replaced with the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.
	·	The 2005 Energy Act establishes conditions for the elimination of the utility obligation under PURPA to enter into new contracts to purchase power from qualifying facilities.
	·	The FERC will appoint and oversee an electric reliability organization to establish and enforce mandatory reliability rules regarding the interstate electric transmission system.
	The implementation of the 2005 Energy Act requires proceedings at the state level and the development of regulations by the FERC and Department of Energy, as well as other federal agencies. The registrants continue to evaluate the provisions of the 2005 Energy Act; however, its effects will depend on the future actions of federal and state agencies which cannot be determined at this time.
