The Coso Projects The Coso projects consist of three 80 MW geothermal power plants, called Navy I, BLM and Navy II, their transmission lines, wells, gathering system and other related facilities. The Coso projects are located near one another in the Mojave Desert approximately 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California, and have been generating electricity since the late 1980s. Unlike fossil fuel-fired power plants, the Coso projects' power plants use geothermal energy derived from the natural heat of the earth's interior to generate electricity. Coso Finance Partners (The Navy I partnership) owns Navy I and its related facilities, Coso Energy Developers (the BLM partnership) owns BLM and its related facilities and Coso Power Developers (the Navy II partnership) owns Navy II and its related facilities (collectively, the Coso partnerships). The Coso partnerships and their affiliates own the exclusive right to explore, develop and use, currently without any known interference from any other power developers, a portion of the Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area. The geothermal power plants, each of which has three separate turbine generator units, have consistently operated above their nominal capacities, and the combined average capacity factor for the plants has exceeded 100% for each of the last six years. The Coso partnerships sell 100% of the electrical energy generated at the plants to Southern California Edison (Edison) under three long-term Standard Offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. Each power purchase agreement expires after the last maturity date of the senior secured notes. (Edison is one of the largest investor-owned electric utilities in the United States.) Under the power purchase agreements, the Coso partnerships receive the following payments: * Capacity payments for being able to produce electricity at certain levels. Capacity payments are fixed throughout the lives of the power purchase agreements; * Capacity bonus payments if they are able to produce electricity above a specified, higher level. The maximum capacity bonus payment available is also fixed throughout the lives of the power purchase agreements; and * Energy payments based on the amount of electricity their respective plants actually produce. Energy payments were fixed for the first ten years of firm operation under the power purchase agreements. Firm operation was achieved for each Coso partnership when Edison and that Coso partnership under its power purchase agreement agreed that each generating unit at a plant was a reliable source of generation and could reasonably be expected to operate continuously at its effective rating. After the first ten years of firm operation and until its power purchase agreement expires, Edison is required to make energy payments to the Coso partnership based on its avoided cost of energy. Edison's avoided cost of energy is Edison's cost to generate electricity if Edison were to produce it itself or buy it from another power producer rather than buy it from the relevant Coso partnership. Future energy payments required to be paid by Edison to the Coso partnerships will most likely be less than historical energy payments because they will be paid based on Edison's avoided cost of energy, instead of the fixed payments paid during the first ten years. The fixed energy price period expired in August 1997 for the Navy I partnership, in March 1999 for the BLM partnership, and in January 2000 for the Navy II partnership. The Edison power purchase agreements will expire in August 2011 for the Navy I partnership; in March 2019 for the BLM partnership; and in January 2010 for the Navy II partnership. 1 AB1890 Energy Subsidy Payments In addition to receiving payments under the power purchase agreements, the Coso partnerships qualify for subsidy payments from a special purpose state fund established under California Legislature AB1890 (AB1890). The California Energy Commission administers the fund. AB1890 provides, in part, for subsidy payments from 1998 through 2001 to power generators using renewable sources of energy, including geothermal energy, and who are being paid based on the avoided cost of energy. The funds are distributed in the form of a production incentive payment that subsidizes renewable energy producers when prices paid for their electricity are below certain pre-determined target prices. Under AB1890, the Navy I partnership, the BLM partnership and the Navy II partnership would receive future subsidy payments for energy delivered to Edison by the respective Coso partnership, if Edison's avoided cost of energy falls below three cents per kWh. This subsidy payment is capped at one cent per kWh. Purchase of CalEnergy Interests On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC, (Caithness Energy) purchased all of the interests in the Coso projects that were owned by CalEnergy Company Inc.'s (CalEnergy), which is now known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The purchase price consisted of $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in contingent payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates' share of debt outstanding on the Coso projects which then totaled approximately $67.0 million. In order to complete the purchase, CAC arranged for short-term debt financing in the principal amount of approximately $211.5 million. CAC used a portion of the proceeds from the Series A note offering that it received from the Coso partnerships, together with funds from other sources, to repay all of this short-term borrowing. Operating Strategy The Coso partnerships seek to maximize their cash flow at the Coso projects through active management of the their cost structure and the geothermal resource. After CAC'S purchase of all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso projects, the Coso partnerships retained Coso Operating Company, (COC) which is an affiliate, to maintain all three plants, the transmission lines and the geothermal resource, including well drilling. As a result of the change in operators and restructuring of operator fees, the aggregate annual fees paid by the Coso partnerships to COC for such maintenance has been reduced significantly. Payments of operator fees were subordinated to all payments made under the senior secured notes. CAC, which purchased the managing partners interest in the Coso partnerships, has caused any management fees payable by each Coso partnership to its partners to be subordinated to all payments made under the senior secured notes. The Coso projects qualify as Small Power Qualifying Facilities (QF) under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) and the rules and regulations promulgated under PURPA by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PURPA exempts the Coso projects from certain federal and state regulations. The Coso projects must continue to satisfy certain ownership and fuel-use standards to maintain their QF status. Since their inception, the Coso projects have satisfied these standards and we expect that they will continue to do so. The Sponsor Caithness Energy, the principal operating subsidiary of Caithness Corporation, is a developer and owner of independent power projects and is the sponsor of the Coso projects. Since 1966, the current owners of Caithness Corporation have been involved in the development of long-term investment opportunities involving natural resources. Caithness Corporation is one of the two original sponsors of the Coso projects and formed Caithness Energy in 1995 to consolidate its ownership of independent power projects. 2 Caithness Energy believes that it is currently the second largest owner of geothermal power projects in the United States, based on the total electrical generating capacity of its power projects. Through its controlled affiliates, Caithness Energy owns interests in seven geothermal plants, including the Coso projects, totaling 414 MW of generating capacity. Caithness Energy is also seeking to develop two additional natural gas power projects with a total potential electrical generating capacity of over 1,580 MW, and has interests in other operating power generating facilities, including solar, wind and natural gas, totaling an additional 696 MW of generating capacity. Caithness Energy is headquartered in New York City and has additional offices in California, Nevada, Denver and Florida. The Issuer Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) is a special purpose corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Coso partnerships. It was formed for the purpose of issuing the senior secured notes on behalf of the Coso partnerships who have jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed repayment of the senior secured notes. Funding Corp. has no material assets, other than the loans made to the Coso partnerships, and does not conduct any business, other than issuing the senior secured notes and making the loans to the Coso partnerships. The Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area The Coso projects are located in an area that has been designated as a Known Geothermal Resources Area by the Bureau of Land Management pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970. The Bureau of Land Management designates an area as a Known Geothermal Resource Area when it determines that a commercially viable geothermal resource is likely to exist there. There are over 100 Known Geothermal Resource Areas in the United States, most of which are located in the western United States in tectonically active regions. The Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area is located in Inyo County, California, approximately 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The Coso geothermal resource is a ''liquid-dominated'' hot water source contained within the heterogeneous fractured granite rocks of the Coso Mountains. It is believed the heat source for the Coso geothermal resource is a hot molten rock or ''magma'' body located at a depth of six-to-seven miles beneath the surface of the field. Geochemical studies indicate that the water in the Coso geothermal resource is ancient water that has been there since the ice age or longer. Steam Sharing Program In 1994, the Coso partnerships entered into a Geothermal Exchange Agreement which implemented a steam-sharing program among the Coso projects. The purpose of the steam-sharing program is to enhance the management and optimize the overall use of the Coso geothermal resource. Pursuant to the steam sharing program, the Coso partnerships constructed an inter-project steam supply and water injection system that links the three Coso projects and BLM North together via metered transfer lines through which the Coso partnerships exchange steam and other geothermal resources with one another. 3 As part of the steam sharing program, the Coso partnerships plan to conserve the geothermal resource whenever possible by, among other things, transferring steam between and among the Coso projects and BLM North, rather than drilling new wells at the Coso projects' sites prematurely, and expanding a flexible field-wide water reinjection program. While the U.S. Navy and the Bureau of Land Management have consented to the steam sharing program, each has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw its consent to such transfers under certain circumstances. In 2000, the Navy I partnership and the Navy II partnership incurred aggregate royalties to the U.S Navy of approximately $2.0 million for steam transferred by Navy I to Navy II and by Navy II to BLM under the steam sharing program from geothermal resources located on the property on which Navy I or Navy II, as the case may be, are situated. Of this amount, the Navy I and Navy II partnerships each incurred approximately $1.0 million. The BLM partnership reimbursed the Navy II partnership approximately $0.4 million of the royalties incurred by the Navy II partnership. The BLM partnership incurs a royalty to the U.S. Navy for electricity generated by BLM for steam transferred from U.S. Navy property and sold to Edison. Royalty and Revenue-Sharing Arrangements The Coso partnerships are required to make royalty payments to, and are subject to other revenue-sharing arrangements with, the U.S. Navy, the Bureau of Land Management and certain other persons. Navy I Under the U.S. Navy contract, as a royalty for Unit 1 at Navy I, the Navy I partnership is obligated to partially reimburse the U.S. Navy for electricity supplied to it by Edison from electricity generated at the Navy I plant. The reimbursement payment is based on a pricing formula included in the U.S. Navy contract. The percentage rate of reimbursement changes semiannually, but cannot exceed 95% of the price paid by the U.S. Navy to Edison, in accordance with a weighted index based on the Consumer Price Index and price indices for the oil industry, the electric power plant industry and the construction industry. In addition, with respect to Unit 1 at Navy I, the Navy I partnership is obligated to pay the U.S. Navy the sum of $25.0 million on or before December 31, 2009, the expiration date of the term of the U.S. Navy contract. Payment of this obligation will be made from an established sinking fund to which the Navy I partnership has been making payments since 1987. For Units 2 and 3 at Navy I, the Navy I partnership's royalty expense is a fixed percentage of its electricity sales to Edison. The royalty expense is 15.0% of revenues received by the Navy I partnership through 2003 and will increase to 20.0% of revenues received from 2004 through 2009, the expiration date of the U.S. Navy contract. BLM The BLM partnership pays royalties to the Bureau of Land Management under the BLM lease. The royalty rate is 10% of the value of the steam produced by the BLM partnership. This royalty rate is fixed for the life of the BLM Lease. In addition to this royalty, the BLM partnership is obligated to pay a royalty of 5% based on the value of the steam produced, to Coso Land Company, a general partnership of which CAC and another affiliate of Caithness Energy are the general partners, in connection with the assignment of the BLM lease to the BLM partnership. The royalty is subordinated to the payment of all the BLM partnership's other royalties, all debt service and all operating costs of BLM. No portion of the royalty accrued to Coso Land Company to date has been paid. 4 BLM North Coso Land Company had applied as a tenant-in-common, to the Bureau of Land Management for assignment to each of the Coso partnerships of an undivided one-third interest in leases they had previously bought from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The assignment became effective in December 2000 and now each Coso partnership is required to pay $8.00 per acre in additional rent to the Bureau of Land Management. When the leased property commences to produce geothermal steam, the Coso partnerships will pay monthly royalties under the LADWP leases of 10% of the value of steam produced, 5% of the value of any by-products, and 5% of the value commercially demineralized water. The Bureau of Land Management may establish minimum production levels and reduce the foregoing royalties if necessary to encourage the greater recovery of leased resources, or as otherwise justified. Navy II The Navy II partnership pays royalties to the U.S Navy under the U.S Navy contract. The Navy II partnership's royalty expense is a fixed percentage of its electricity sales to Edison. The royalty rate was 10.0% of electricity sales to Edison through 1999, increased to 18.0% for 2000 through 2004 and will increase to 20.0% from 2005 through the end of the Navy contract. Operations and Maintenance The operations and maintenance services for the Coso projects, including the Navy I, BLM, and Navy II transmission lines, wells, gathering system, and other related facilities, are performed by COC on behalf of the Coso partnerships pursuant to Operation and Maintenance agreements. COC is a wholly owned subsidiary of CAC that was initially formed by CalEnergy to facilitate the transfer of operational control of the Coso projects to a Caithness Energy affiliate. On February 26, 1999 CalEnergy ceased to be the operator of the Coso projects, and FPL Energy Operating Services, Inc. (FPLEOSI), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FPL Energy, Inc., assumed that role. An amended and restated operation and maintenance agreement between FPLEOSI and the managing general partners was implemented. Under that agreement, FPLEOSI became the plant operator and under a separate operations and maintenance agreement COC was responsible for maintenance of the geothermal resource. On October 17, 1999 the operating agreement between FPLEOSI and the managing general partners was terminated and COC became the sole operator of the plant and continued to maintain the geothermal field. Insurance The Coso partnerships currently have property, business interruption, catastrophe and general liability insurance for the Coso projects. The plants are insured up to their replacement cost for general property damage and over $166 million in the aggregate for business interruption, subject to a $25,000 deductible for property damage (and a $250,000 deductible for the turbine generator sets), with a 15-day deductible for business interruption and a 25-day deductible for machinery breakdown and earthquake. Catastrophic insurance (including earthquake and flood) is capped at $200.0 million for property damage, subject to a deductible of $2.5 million or 5.0% of the loss, whichever is greater. Liability insurance coverage is $51.0 million (occurrence based). Operators extra expense (control of well) insurance is $10.0 million per occurrence with a $25,000 deductible. 5 Employees Employees necessary for the operation of the Coso partnerships are provided by COC, under their respective operation and maintenance agreements. COC maintains a qualified technical staff covering a broad range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, drilling technology, reservoir engineering, plant engineering, construction management, maintenance services, production management, electric power operation and certain accounting, purchasing and payroll services. As of December 31, 2000, COC employed 94 people to operate and maintain the Coso projects. Competition The Coso partnerships sell all electrical energy generated at the plants to Edison under three long-term Standard Offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. The payments under these agreements have constituted 100% of the operating revenues of each power plant since its inception. Environmental and Regulatory Matters The Coso partnerships are subject to environmental laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels in connection with the development, ownership and operation of the Coso projects. These environmental laws and regulations generally require that a wide variety of permits and governmental approvals be obtained to construct and operate an energy-producing facility. The facility must then operate in compliance with the terms of these permits and approvals. If the Coso partnerships fail to operate their facilities in compliance with applicable laws, permits and approvals, governmental agencies could levy fines or curtail operations. The Coso partnerships believe they are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental regulatory requirements applicable to the Coso projects, and that maintaining compliance with current governmental requirements will not require a material increase in capital expenditures or materially adversely affect that Coso partnership's financial condition or results of operations. It is possible, however, that future developments, such as more stringent requirements of environmental laws and enforcement policies thereunder, could affect capital and other costs at the Coso projects and the manner in which the Coso partnerships conduct their business.

6 Item 2. Properties Plants Navy I Navy I and its steam resource are located on the United States Naval Weapons Center at China Lake. In December of 2000, Navy I acquired an undivided one-third interest in leases previously purchased from LADWP located on Bureau of Land Management property. It commenced operations in 1987. Geothermal steam for Navy I is produced using over 40 production and injection wells located within a radius of approximately 3,000 feet of Navy I. Navy I consists of three separate turbine generators, known as Units 1, 2 and 3, each with approximately 30 MW of electrical generating capacity. Navy I's steam gathering and piping systems are cross-connected to Navy II via metered transfers to allow steam to be transferred from wells located on the real property covered by the LADWP leases to Navy I and between Navy I and Navy II, pursuant to the steam sharing program. Unit 1 commenced firm operation in 1987, and Units 2 and 3 commenced firm operation during 1988. Navy I has an aggregate gross electrical generating capacity of approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity factor of 111.8% in 2000, 95.4% in 1999, and 94.6% in 1998, based on a stated capacity of 80 MW. BLM BLM and its steam resource are located on Bureau of Land Management property, within the boundaries of the United States Naval Weapons Center at China Lake. In December of 2000, BLM acquired an undivided one-third interest in leases previously purchased from LADWP which are also located on Bureau of Land Management property. It commenced operations in 1989. BLM is comprised of turbine generators located at two different power blocks: the BLM East site and the BLM West site. The BLM East site is located approximately 1.3 miles east of the BLM West site. Geothermal steam for BLM is produced using over 35 production and injection wells located within a radius of approximately 4,000 feet from either the BLM East or the BLM West site. BLM consists of three separate turbine generators, known as Units 7, 8 and 9. Units 7 and 8 are located at the BLM East site, each with a generating capacity of approximately 30 MW, while Unit 9 is located at the BLM West site, with a generating capacity of approximately 30 MW. All three units commenced firm operation during 1989. BLM's steam gathering and piping systems are cross connected to Navy II via metered transfers to allow steam to be transferred between Navy II and BLM pursuant to the steam sharing program. BLM has an aggregate gross electrical generating capacity of approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity factor of 109.4% in 2000, 105.0% in 1999, and 104.4% in 1998, based on a stated capacity of 80 MW. 7 Navy II Navy II and its steam resource are located on the United States Naval Weapons Center at China Lake. In December of 2000, Navy II acquired an undivided one-third interest in leases previously purchased from LADWP which are located on Bureau of Land Management property. It commenced operations in 1989. Geothermal steam for Navy II is produced using over 35 production and injection wells located within a radius of approximately 6,000 feet of Navy II. Navy II consists of three separate turbine generators, known as Units 4, 5 and 6, each with approximately 30 MW of electrical generating capacity. All three Navy II units commenced firm operation in 1990. Navy II's steam supply systems are cross-connected to Navy I and BLM steam supply systems via metered transfers to allow steam to be transferred between or among the plants pursuant to the steam sharing program. Navy II has an aggregate gross electrical capacity of approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity factor of 111.1% in 2000, 112.0% in 1999, and 108.6% in 1998, based on a stated capacity of 80 MW. Transmission Lines The electricity generated by Navy I is conveyed over an approximately 28.8-mile 115 kilovolt (''kV'') transmission line on the U.S. Navy and Bureau of Land Management land that is connected to the Edison substation at Inyokern, California. The Navy I partnership owns and uses this transmission line and its related facilities. The electricity generated by BLM and Navy II is conveyed over an approximately 28.8-mile 230 kV transmission line on U.S. Navy and Bureau of Land Management land that is also connected to the Edison substation at Inyokern, California. Coso Transmission Line Partners owns the BLM/Navy II transmission line and related facilities. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Settlement of Litigation In December 1999, the BLM partnership and Dow Chemical Company (Dow) entered into a confidential settlement agreement which was effective January 1, 2000, to resolve BLM partnership's claim to recover damages incurred related to the installation in 1992 by Dow of a hydrogen sulfide abatement system. In February 2000, Navy I, Navy II, and BLM reached a settlement with Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities Commission, which was received in December 2000. The case has not yet been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under the settlement agreement. The cost of the settlement was allocated among the Coso partnerships. Except as otherwise described above, the Coso partnerships are currently parties to various items of litigation, none of which, if determined adversely, would be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the Coso partnerships, either individually or taken as a whole.

11 Footnotes to Summary Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data (a) Reflects the combined financial results of the Navy I partnership and Coso Finance Partners II, a California general partnership (''CFP II''). The Navy I partnership and CFP II were first formed as separate entities to facilitate the initial bank financing for the construction and development of Navy I. Initially, the Navy I partnership acquired all of the assets relating to the first turbine generator unit at Navy I and CFP II acquired all of the assets of Navy I relating to the second and third generator units at Navy I. In 1988, CFP II assigned all of its rights and interests in the second and third generator units at Navy I to the Navy I partnership in return for a 5.0% royalty to be paid based on the Navy I partnership's steam production. Since the Navy I partnership and CFP II operate under common ownership and management control, the historical financial statements of the entities have been combined after elimination of intercompany amounts related to the royalty arrangement. During 1999, the closing of the Series A notes offering, CFP II merged with and into the Navy I partnership and the accrued royalty was extinguished. In addition, the royalty will no longer be accrued from and after the Series A note offering. (b) The fixed energy price periods expired for the Navy I partnership in August 1997, for the BLM partnership in March 1999 and for the Navy II partnership in January 2000. (c) After CACs purchase of all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso projects on February 25, 1999, the Coso partnerships adopted a new basis of accounting and, accordingly, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and therefore is not comparable. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based on their fair values, with the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis. (d) Based on a stated capacity of 80 MW. (e) The variance in the operating capacity factors for the Navy I partnership, the BLM partnership, and the Navy II partnership are due to the transfer of steam from the Navy I partnership to the BLM and Navy II partnership's under the steam sharing program. (f) Reflects indebtedness owed to Funding Corp., which loaned all the proceeds from the offering to the Coso partnerships at interest rates and maturities identical to the interest rates and maturities of the senior secured notes. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Except for historical financial information contained herein, the matters discussed in this annual report may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and subject to the safe harbor created by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include declarations regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Caithness Coso Funding Corp. ("Funding Corp."), Coso Finance Partners ("the Navy I partnership"), Coso Energy Developers ("the BLM partnership"), and Coso Power Developers ("the Navy II partnerships") ,collectively, (the "Coso partnerships") and their respective management. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties; actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: (i) risks relating to the uncertainties in the California energy market, (ii) the financial viability of Southern California Edison, ("Edison"), (iii) that the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to further adjustment, (iv) risks related to the operation of power plants (v) the impact of avoided cost pricing, (vi) general operating risks,(vii) the dependence on third parties, (viii) changes in government regulation,(ix) the effects of competition,(x) the dependence on senior management, (xi) fluctuations in quarterly results and (xii) seasonality. 12 General The Coso projects consist of three 80MW geothermal power plants, which are referred to as Navy I, BLM and Navy II, and their transmission lines, wells, gathering systems and other related facilities. The Coso projects are located near one another at the United States Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake, California. The Navy I partnership owns Navy I and its related facilities. The BLM partnership owns BLM and its related facilities. The Navy II partnership owns Navy II and its related facilities. Affiliates of Caithness Corporation and CalEnergy Company, Inc. ("CalEnergy"), which is now known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, formed the Coso partnerships in the 1980s to develop, construct, own and operate the Coso projects. On February 25, 1999 Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC, (CAC) purchased all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso projects for $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in contingent payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates share of debt outstanding at the Coso projects which then totaled approximately $67.0 million. Each Coso partnership sells 100% of the electrical energy generated at its plant to Edison under a long-term Standard Offer No.4 power purchase agreement. Each power purchase agreement expires after the final maturity date of the 6.8% Series B Senior Secured Notes and the 9.05% Series B Senior Secured Notes issued by Funding Corp. Each Coso partnership is entitled to the following payments under its power purchase agreement: * Capacity payments for being able to produce electricity at certain levels. Capacity payments are fixed throughout the life of each power purchase agreement; * Capacity bonus payments if the Coso partnership is able to produce electricity above a specified higher level. The maximum annual capacity bonus payment available is also fixed throughout the life of each power purchase agreement; and * Energy payments which are based on the amount of electricity the Coso partnership's plant actually produces. Energy payments were fixed for the first ten years of firm operation under each power purchase agreement.After the first ten years of firm operation and until a Coso partnership's power purchase agreement expires, Edison makes energy payments to the Coso partnership based on Edison's "avoided cost of energy". Edison's avoided cost of energy is Ediso's cost to generate electricity if Edison were to produce it itself or buy it from another power producer rather than buy it from the Coso partnerships. The power purchase agreement for the Navy I partnership will expire in August 2011, the power purchase agreement for the BLM partnership will expire in March 2019, and the power purchase agreement for the Navy II partnership will expire in January 2010. The fixed energy price period expired in August 1997 for the Navy I partnership, in March 1999 for the BLM partnership and in January 2000 for the Navy II partnership. For the year ended December 31, 2000, Edison's annual average avoided cost of energy paid to the Navy I, the BLM and the Navy II Partnerships was 5.8 cents per kWh, which is substantially below the fixed energy prices earned by the partnerships prior to the expiration of the fixed energy price periods of their respective power purchase agreements. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of energy vary significantly, and no one can predict the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices. 13 The Coso Partnerships implemented a steam-sharing program, which they established under the Coso Geothermal Exchange Agreement they entered into in 1994. The purpose of the steam-sharing program is to enhance the management of the Coso geothermal resource and to optimize the resource's overall benefits to the Coso partnerships by transferring steam among the Coso projects. Under the steam sharing program, the partnership receiving the steam transfer splits revenue earned from electricity generated with the partnership that transferred the steam. Funding Corp is a special purpose corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Coso partnerships. It was formed for the purpose of issuing the senior secured notes on behalf of the Coso partnerships who have jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed repayment of the senior secured notes. On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. issued $110.0 million of 6.80% senior secured notes due in 2001 and $303.0 million of 9.05% senior secured notes due in 2009. The proceeds from the notes were loaned to the Coso partnerships and are payable to Funding Corp from payments of principal and interest on the notes. Funding Corp. does not conduct any other operations apart from issuing the notes. Under the depositary agreement, the Coso partnerships established accounts with a depositary and pledged those accounts as security for the benefit of the holders of the senior secured notes. All amounts deposited with the depositary are, at the direction of the Coso partnerships, invested by the depositary in permitted investments. All revenues or other proceeds actually received by the Coso partnerships are deposited in a revenue account and withdrawn upon receipt by the depositary of a certificate from the relevant Coso partnerships detailing the amounts to be paid from funds in its respective revenue account. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001 Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by the Coso partnerships, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis. Edison has not made payments to the Coso partnerships for power generated in November and December of 2000, which were $13,284 and $32,540, respectively. The Coso partnerships have also billed Edison for energy provided in January and February of 2001. The cost to Edison for this power would be approximately $33,813 and $24,421, respectively. Capacity Utilization For purposes of consistency in financial presentation, the plant capacity factor for each of the Coso partnerships is based on a nominal capacity amount of 80MW (240MW in the aggregate). The Coso partnerships have a gross operating capacity that allows for the production of electricity in excess of their nominal capacity amounts. Utilization of this operating margin is based upon a number of factors and can be expected to vary throughout the year under normal operating conditions. 14 The following data includes the operating capacity factor, capacity and electricity production (in kWh) for each Coso partnership on a stand-alone basis: Year Ended December 31, ----------------------- Navy I Partnership (stand alone) 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Operating capacity factor 111.8% 95.4% 94.6% Capacity (MW) (average) 89.44 76.34 75.63 kWh produced (000s) 785,624 668,388 662,560 BLM Partnership (stand alone) Operating capacity factor 109.4% 105.0% 104.4% Capacity (MW) (average) 87.56 84.00 83.54 kWh produced (000s) 769,098 735,840 731,767 Navy II Partnership (stand alone) Operating capacity factor 111.1% 112.1% 108.6% Capacity (MW) (average) 88.88 89.70 86.83 kWh produced (000s) 780,709 785,772 760,659 Total energy production for the Navy I partnership was 785.6 million kWh for 2000, as compared to 668.4 million kWh for 1999, an increase of 17.5%. The increase in Navy I partnership's energy production is attributable to increased production resulting from decreased steam transfers and the outage of one turbine generator unit during a portion of 1999. Total energy production for the BLM partnership was 769.1 million kWh for 2000, as compared to 735.8 million kWh in 1999, an increase of 4.5%. Total energy production for the Navy II partnership was 780.7 million kWh for 2000, as compared to 785.8 million kWh in 1999, a decrease of 0.6%. Total energy production for the Navy I partnership was 668.4 million kWh for 1999, as compared to 662.6 million kWh for 1998, an increase of 0.9%. Total energy production for the BLM partnership was 735.8 million kWh for 1999, as compared to 731.8 million kWh in 1998, an increase of 0.5%. Total energy production for the Navy II partnership was 785.8 million kWh for 1999, as compared to 760.7 million kWh in 1998, an increase of 3.3%. Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following discusses the results of operations of the Coso partnerships for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (dollar amounts in tables in thousands, except per kWh data):
Revenue 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Total Operating Revenues Navy I partnership 67,653 8.6 55,666 8.3 53,153 8.0 BLM partnership 57,453 7.5 49,877 6.8 107,199 14.6 Navy II partnership 58,366 7.5 113,746 14.5 119,564 15.7 Capacity & Bonus Revenues Navy I partnership 14,266 1.8 13,372 2.0 13,573 2.0 BLM partnership 13,940 1.8 13,938 1.9 13,847 1.9 Navy II partnership 14,018 1.8 14,018 1.8 14,018 1.8 Energy Revenues Navy I partnership 53,387 6.8 42,294 6.3 39,580 6.0 BLM partnership 43,513 5.7 35,939 4.9 93,352 12.8 Navy II partnership 44,348 5.7 99,728 12.7 105,546 13.9
15 Total operating revenues for the Navy I partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $67.7 million for 2000, as compared to $55.7 million in 1999, an increase of 21.5%. The increase in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 2000 was primarily due to the increase in the average avoided cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. Capacity and bonus revenues were $14.3 million for 2000, as compared to $13.4 million in 1999, an increase of 6.7%. The increase was due to increased production resulting from decreased steam transfers and the outage of one of the Navy I units during a portion of 1999. Total operating revenues for the BLM partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $57.5 million for 2000, as compared to $49.9 million in 1999, an increase of 15.2%. The increase in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 2000 was primarily due to the increase in average avoided cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. Total operating revenues for the Navy II partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $58.4 million for 2000, as compared to $113.7 million in 1999, a decrease of 48.6%. The Navy II partnerships energy revenues decreased by $55.3 million due to the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the Navy II partnership's power purchase agreement in January 2000 and the receipt of energy payments based on Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Until January 2000, and during 1999, the Navy II partnership received approximately 14.5 cents per kWh for energy delivered. Under the avoided cost of energy formula, the Navy II partnership received an average of approximately 6.0 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period February 2000 to December 2000. Total operating revenues for the Navy I partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $55.7 million for 1999, as compared to $53.2 million in 1998, an increase of 4.7%. The increase in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 1999 was primarily due to the Navy I partnership's ability to transfer geothermal steam to the BLM partnership and the Navy II partnership, both of which were receiving higher fixed energy prices under their respective power purchase agreements (the BLM partnership stopped receiving higher fixed energy prices during the first quarter of 1999) and slightly higher energy prices received from Edison. Total operating revenues for the BLM partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $49.9 million in 1999, as compared to $107.2 million in 1998, a decrease of 53.5%. The BLM partnership's energy revenues decreased by $57.3 million in 1999, due to the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the BLM partnership's power purchase agreement in March 1999 and the receipt of energy payments based on Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Until March 1999, and during 1998, the BLM partnership received approximately 14.6 cents per kWh for energy delivered. Under the avoided cost of energy formula, the BLM partnership received an average of approximately 3.2 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period April 1999 to December 1999. Total operating revenues for the Navy II partnership, which consist of capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $113.7 million in 1999, as compared to $119.6 million in 1998, a decrease of 4.9%. The decrease in revenues was due to increased steam transfers from the Navy I partnership. 16
Interest and Other Income 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Navy I partnership 2,506 0.3 2,234 0.3 585 0.1 BLM partnership 8,125 1.1 1,066 0.1 1,181 0.2 Navy II partnership 2,868 0.4 2,174 0.3 1,799 0.2
The Navy I partnership's interest and other income was $2.5 million in 2000, as compared to $2.2 million in 1999, an increase of 13.6%. The increase was primarily due to a settlement of $600,000 for legal fees related to the Edison litigation and increased interest income from higher cash reserves balances required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The BLM partnership's interest and other income was $8.1 million in 2000, as compared to $1.1 million in 1999, an increase of $7.0 million. This increase was primarily due to a legal settlement of $6.1 million with Dow Chemical Company, settlement of $600,000 for legal fees related to the Edison litigation, and increased interest income from higher cash reserves balances required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The Navy II partnership's interest and other income was $2.9 million in 2000, as compared to $2.2 million in 1999, an increase of 31.8%. The increase was primarily due to a settlement of $600,000 for legal fees related to the Edison litigation and increased in interest income from higher cash reserves balances required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The Navy I partnership's interest and other income was $2.2 million in 1999, as compared to $0.6 million in 1998, an increase of $1.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the accrual of a $1.6 million business loss insurance recovery in connection with the shutdown of one of the Navy I partnership's turbine generator units during the first quarter of 1999. The shut down unit was returned to service in May of 1999. The partnership has recovered $500,000 with respect to the insurance and has reserved the remaining $1.1 million pending resolution of the insurance claim. The remainder of the increase in interest and other income for the Navy I partnership resulted from interest income on cash revenues required by the senior notes issued on May 28, 1999. The BLM partnership's interest and other income was $1.1 million in 1999, as compared to $1.2 million in 1998, a decrease of 8.3%. The decrease was due to the decreased level of cash balances resulting from the reduction in energy revenues subsequent to the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the BLM partnerships power purchase agreements in March 1999. The decreases were partially mitigated by interest income resulting from cash reserves required by the senior secured notes issued on May 29, 1999. The Navy II partnership's interest and other income was $2.2 million in 1999, as compared to $1.8 million in 1998, an increase of 22.2%. The increase was primarily due to interest on increased cash reserves required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.

Edison legal expenses and settlement costs decreased in 2000 for the Navy I, BLM and Navy II partnerships by $2.4 million, $4.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Legal expenses including monies allocated for litigation settlements increased in 1999 for the BLM and Navy II partnerships by $1.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The change for both 2000 and 1999 resulted from, among other expenses, an accrued settlement obligation with Edison. 17
Plant Operations 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Navy I partnership 8,609 1.1 10,017 1.5 10,020 1.5 BLM partnership 12,008 1.6 15,568 2.1 16,418 2.2 Navy II partnership 9,409 1.2 10,873 1.4 12,271 1.6
The Navy I partnership's operating expenses, including operating and general and administrative expenses were $8.6 million in 2000, as compared to $10.0 million in 1999, a decrease of 14.0%. The BLM partnership's operating expenses, including operating and general and administrative expenses were $12.0 million in 2000, as compared to $15.6 million in 1999, a decrease of 23.1%. The Navy II partnership's operating expenses including operating and general and administrative expenses were $9.4 million in 2000, as compared to $10.9 million in 1999, a decrease of 13.8%. The decreases for each of the Coso partnerships for 2000 as compared to 1999, was primarily due to the continued implementation of management's plan to reduce the work force and other operating costs. The replacement of the Coso project's prior operator and managing partner also contributed to the overall reduction in plant operating costs. The decrease in operating expenses for the BLM and Navy II partnerships for 1999, as compared to 1998, was due primarily to reductions in operator and management fees, insurance and other operating costs, somewhat offset by an increase in property taxes.
Royalty Expenses 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Navy I partnership 10,921 1.4 10,157 1.5 6,824 1.0 BLM partnership 4,045 0.5 3,148 0.4 10,492 1.4 Navy II partnership 10,104 1.3 12,077 1.5 11,868 1.6
The Navy I partnership's royalty expenses were $10.9 million for 2000, as compared to $10.2 million in 1999, an increase of 6.9%. The increase was due to an increase in energy revenues caused by the increase in the average avoided cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. The BLM partnership's royalty expenses were $4.0 million for 2000, as compared to $3.1 million in 1999, an increase of 29.0%. This increase was due to an increase in energy revenues caused by the increase in the average avoided cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. The Navy II partnership's royalty expenses were $10.1 million for 2000, as compared to $12.1 million in 1999, a decrease of 16.5%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the Navy II partnerships energy revenues, caused by the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the Navy II partnership's power purchase agreement in January 2000, and the receipt of energy payments based on Edison's average avoided cost of energy since that time. Under the average avoided costs of energy formula, the Navy II partnership received an average of approximately 6.0 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period February 2000 to December 2000. The decrease in the Navy II partnerships royalty expenses were partially offset by an increase in royalty rate from 10% to 18% as of January 2000. The Navy I partnership's royalty expenses were $10.2 million for 1999, as compared to $6.8 million in 1998, an increase of 50.0%. The increase was due to a scheduled increase in the royalty rate paid to the U.S. Navy beginning in November 1998 from 10% to 15%. The BLM partnership's royalty expenses were $3.1 million for 1999, as compared to $10.5 million in 1998, a decreased of 70.5%. This decrease was due to a reduction in BLM partnership revenues caused by the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the BLM partnership's power purchase agreement in March 1999, and the receipt of energy payments under Edison's average avoided cost of energy since that time. The Navy II partnership's royalty expenses were $12.1 million for 1999, as compared to $11.9 million in 1998, an increase of 1.7%. The increase was due to an increase in production. 18
Depreciation and Amortization 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Navy I partnership 9,594 1.2 9,582 1.4 12,081 1.8 BLM partnership 15,361 2.0 15,649 2.1 14,809 2.0 Navy II partnership 15,070 1.9 14,808 1.9 14,025 1.8
The Navy I partnership's depreciation and amortization expense was $9.6 million for 1999, as compared to $12.1 million in 1998, a decrease of 20.7%. The decrease was primarily due to purchase accounting adjustments. The overall effect was a reduction in depreciation expense that was partially offset by depreciation on 1999 additions. The BLM partnership's depreciation and amortization expense was $15.6 million for 1999, as compared to $14.8 million for 1998, an increase of 5.4%. The increase was due to substantial increases in 1999 asset additions, partially offset by the effect of purchase accounting adjustments. The Navy II partnership's depreciation and amortization expense was $14.8 million for 1999, as compared to $14.0 million in 1998, an increase of 5.7%. The increase was due to purchase accounting adjustments and depreciation expense on 1999 asset additions.
Interest Expense 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh $ cents/kWh - --------- - --------- - --------- Navy I partnership 12,493 1.6 9,611 1.4 4,210 0.6 BLM partnership 9,174 1.2 7,310 1.0 6,107 0.8 Navy II partnership 9,130 1.2 9,937 1.3 7,918 1.0
The Navy I partnership's interest expense was $12.5 million in 2000, as compared to $9.6 million in 1999, an increase of 30.2%. The BLM partnership's interest expense was $9.2 million in 2000, as compared to $7.3 million in 1999, an increase of 26.0%. The Navy II partnership's interest expense was $9.1 million in 2000, as compared to $9.9 million in 1999, a decrease of 8.1%. The increases in interest expense for the Navy I partnership and the BLM partnership and the decrease in interest expense for the Navy II partnership for the year 2000, as compared to 1999, were the result of higher outstanding debt balances under the $413 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The Navy I partnership's interest expense was $9.6 million in 1999, as compared to $4.2 million in 1998, an increase of 128.6%. The BLM partnership's interest expense was $7.3 million in 1999, as compared to $6.1 million in 1998, an increase of 19.7%. The Navy II partnership's interest expense was $9.9 million in 1999, as compared to $7.9 million in 1998, an increase of 25.3%. These increases were due to higher outstanding debt balances resulting from the $413 million senior secured financing which closed on May 28, 1999. Provision for Doubtful Accounts In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid the Coso partnerships for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing negotiations with Edison, the Coso partnerships have been unable to secure from Edison a firm indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment of their November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts of $15,234, $15,279 and $15,312 for Navy I, BLM and Navy II, respectively, has been established for revenues earned but not yet paid as of December 31, 2000. 19 Interest Expense - Acquisition Debt The Navy I, BLM and Navy II partnerships incurred interest expense - acquisition debt of $2.0 million, $1.4 million, and $2.0 million, respectively in 1999. This interest expense related to acquisition debt in the amount of $211.5 million and was incurred on February 25, 1999 to acquire the interests of CalEnergy in the Coso partnerships. This acquisition debt was repaid with the proceeds of the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. Costs Related to Acquisition Debt The Navy I, BLM and Navy II Partnerships incurred other expenses of $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999. These other expenses, which consist primarily of lending, legal and other fees, related to the acquisition debt in the amount of $211.5 million incurred on February 25, 1999 to acquire Cal Energy's interest in the Coso Partnerships. This acquisition debt was repaid with the proceeds of the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. Loss on early extinguishment of debt The Navy I, BLM and Navy II partnerships recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of their previous debt in the amounts of $2.4 million, $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999. This loss was due to premium and other costs incurred to repay the existing project debt of the Coso partnerships before its scheduled maturity date. These costs included tender premiums paid to the holders of the previous debt and the write off of the remaining balance of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the previous debt. The previous debt was repaid with the proceeds of the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources Each of the Navy I partnership, the BLM partnership and the Navy II partnership derive substantially all of their cash flow from Edison under the power purchase agreements and from interest income earned on funds on deposit. The Coso partnerships have used their cash primarily for capital expenditures for power plant improvements, resource and operating costs, distributions to partners and payments with respect to the project debt. The Coso Partnership's ability to meet their obligations as they come due will depend upon the ability of Edison to meet its obligations under the terms of the standard offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. Edison's increasing under-collections, coupled with its near term capital requirements has materially and adversely affected its liquidity. Unless actions are taken to restore Edison's financial condition, there is uncertainty of collection of receivables owed to the Coso partnership for revenues generated from November 2000 forward. Edison's failure to pay its obligations will have a material adverse effect on the Coso Partnership's ability to make debt service payments as the come due under the Funding Corp. notes. 20 The following table sets forth a summary of each Coso partnership's cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000, December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998.
2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Navy I partnership (stand alone) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 29,168 $ 24,388 $ 31,928 Net cash used in investing activities (1,638) (24,094) (7,493) Net cash provided (used) by financing activities (31,845) 7,527 (27,323) --------- --------- --------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (4,315) $ 7,821 $ (2,888) ========= ========= ========= BLM partnership (stand alone) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 32,916 $ 29,806 $ 75,855 Net cash used in investing activities (6,986) (16,699) (20,637) Net cash used by financing activities (26,491) (6,684) (56,091) --------- --------- --------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (561) $ 6,423 $ (873) ========= ========= ========= Navy II partnership (stand alone) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 37,019 $ 74,802 $ 84,833 Net cash provided (used) in investing activities 42,124 (58,752) (7,010) Net cash used by financing activities (77,722) (10,848) (78,153) --------- --------- --------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 1,721 $ 5,202 $ (330) ========= ========= =========
The Navy I partnership's cash flows from operating activities increased by $4.8 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to an increase in net income, decreases in both accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties, partially offset by decreases in trade payables. Cash used in investing activities at the Navy I partnership decreased by $22.5 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to decreases in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp. The Navy I partnership's cash flows from financing activities decreased by $39.4 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan from Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000. The BLM partnership's cash flows from operating activities increased by $3.1 million in 2000 as compared 1999, primarily due to increases in net income and amounts due to related parties, and a decrease in accounts receivable. Cash used in investing activities at the BLM partnership decreased by $9.7 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, due to a reduction in 2000 capital expenditures. The BLM partnership's cash used in financing activities increased by $19.8 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan from Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000. The Navy II partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by $37.8 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to a decrease in net income caused by the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the Navy II Partnership's power purchase agreement in January 2000 and the receipt of energy payments based on Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Under the avoided costs of energy formula, the Navy II partnership received an average of approximately 6.0 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period February 2000 to December 2000. The decrease in net income was partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties. 21 Cash flows from investing activities at the Navy II partnership increased by $100.9 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp. The Navy II partnership's cash used in financing activities increased by $66.9 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan from Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000. The Navy I partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by $7.5 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to financing costs associated with the short term debt obtained to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in the Navy I partnership and also due to the interest cost relating to the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. Cash used in investing activities at the Navy I partnership increased by $16.6 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily as a result of an increase in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp. The Navy I partnership's cash flows from financing activities increased by $34.9 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, as a result of the project loan from Funding Corp. offset by increased distributions to partners. The BLM partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by $46.0 million in 1999 as compared 1998, primarily due to a decrease in energy revenues as a result of the switch to avoided cost in March 1999, and increased financing costs associated with the short term debt obtained to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in the BLM partnership. Cash used in investing activities at the BLM partnership decreased by $3.9 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures offset by an increase in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp. The BLM partnership's cash used in financing activities decreased by $49.4 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, as a result of the project loan from Funding Corp. offset by increased distributions to partners. The Navy II partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by $10.0 million in 1999 as compared 1998, primarily due to financing costs associated with the short term debt obtained to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in the Navy II partnership as well as increased steam transfers. Cash used in investing activities at the Navy II partnership increased by $51.7 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to the increase in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp. The Navy II partnership's cash used by financing activities decreased by $67.3 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, as a result of the project loan from Funding Corp. offset by increased distributions to partners. 22 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Risk Factors Operating the Coso projects involves, among other things, general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Changes in these factors could make it more expensive to operate the Coso projects, or require additional capital expenditures, or reduce certain benefits currently available to the Coso partnerships. There are a variety of other risks that affect the Coso projects, some of which are beyond our control, including: * One or more of the Coso projects could perform below expected levels of output or efficiency; * In light of the uncertainty of the California energy market, Edison's financial viability is uncertain. If Edison were to enter into bankruptcy procedures, the power purchase contracts could be amended and any accounts receivable from Edison could be reduced or eliminated. * The Coso geothermal resource could be interrupted or unavailable; * Operating costs could increase; * Energy prices paid by Edison could decrease or terminate; * Delivery of electrical energy to Edison could be disrupted; * Environmental problems could arise which could lead to fines or a shutdown of one or more plants; * Plant units and equipment have broken down or failed in the past and could break down or fail in the future; * The operators of the Coso projects could suffer labor disputes; * The government could change permit or governmental approval requirements; * Third parties could fail to perform their contractual obligations to the Coso partnerships; and * Catastrophic events, such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods, severe storms or other occurrences, could affect one or more of the Coso projects or Edison. In addition, the Coso partnerships must meet specified performance requirements under their respective power purchase agreements during the months of June through September to continue to qualify for the maximum capacity and capacity bonus payments. If one or more of the events listed above occur and substantially affect the performance of one or more of the plants during these months, operating revenues would be significantly decreased. Item 8.

F-4 CAITHNESS COSO FUNDING CORP. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2000 and 1999 (Dollars in thousands) (1) Organization of the Corporation Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.), which was incorporated on April 22, 2000, is a single-purpose Delaware corporation formed to issue senior secured notes (Notes) for its own account and as an agent acting on behalf of Coso Finance Partners (CFP), Coso Energy Developers (CED), and Coso Power Developers (CPD), collectively, the "Partnerships." The Partnerships are California general partnerships. On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. sold $413,000 of senior secured notes (see note 4). Pursuant to separate credit agreements between Funding Corp. and each partnership (Credit Agreements), the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were loaned to the Partnerships. Payment of the Notes is provided for by payments made by the Partnerships under their respective project loans (see note 3). Funding Corp. has no material assets, other than the project loans, and does not conduct any operations apart from issuing the Notes and making the project loans to the Partnerships. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders equity, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Basedon quoted market rates of the senior secured notes, the fair value of the project loans and underlying Notes as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are $26,796 and $108,900, respectively, for the Notes maturing in 2001, and $322,979 and $301,485, respectively, for the Notes maturing in 2009. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. " In June 2000,FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting For Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and addressed certain implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company does not have any derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on Funding Corp's financial statements. (3) Project Loans to the Partnerships Pursuant to each Credit Agreement, each partnership shall make project loan payments in scheduled installment amounts which, in the aggregate, are sufficient to enable Funding Corp. to pay scheduled principal and interest on the Notes (see note 4). The Notes are general obligations of Funding Corp., and are secured and perfected by: (1)first priority pledge of the promissory notes evidencing each partnership's obligation to repay the loan; (2) first priority lien on the funds in the debt service cash accounts of the Partnerships; and (3) first priority pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of Funding Corp. These obligations are unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnerships and are secured and perfected by substantially all assets of the Partnerships and the equity interests in the Partnerships. Funding Corp., CPD, CED, and CFP are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the Notes. (4) Senior Secured Notes On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. completed a $413,000 underwritten public debt offering consisting of $110,000 6.8% senior secured notes due 2001 and $303,000 9.05% senior secured notes due 2009. The Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of May 28, 1999 between Funding Corp. and the trustee, U.S. Bank Trust NA. Payment of the Notes is provided for by payments to be made by the Partnerships on their respective project loans (see note 3). Interest is payable each June 15 and December 15. As of December 15, 2000 and 1999, the principal payments of $30,268 were made and $52,665 was available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid the $52,665 to the noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from lack of performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnerships, and Funding Corps. management believes this is not an event of default. The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ------------------------------------- ------------- 2001 $ 27,067 2002 21,771 2003 27,618 2004 31,332 2005 35,480 Thereafter 186,799 ------------- $ 330,067 ============= The Note indentures contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, release funds from reserve accounts, make distributions, create loans, and enter into any transaction, merger, or consolidation. (5) Stockholders Equity Funding Corp. is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share. Upon incorporating in 1999, Funding Corp. issued 100 common shares each to CFP, CED, and CPD. (6) Risks and Uncertainties The Partnerships future result of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance betweeen supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California. Southern California Edison (Edison)is the only customer of the Partnerships. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by the Partnerships, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis. In 2001, the Partnerships have continued to sell electricity under their existing Power Purchase Contracts with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a law that will, among other things, provide for long-term price stability and payments to qualifying facilities, such as the Partnerships. Under the draft legislation currently being considered by the California legislature, the Partnerships believe that they will ultimately collect a sufficient amount of revenue from their electricity sales to fund their operations. F-5 Independent Auditors Report The Partners and Management Committee Coso Finance Partners: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Finance Partners as of, December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The combined financial statements of Coso Finance Partners and Coso Finance Partners II as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Finance Partners as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not already owned by its affiliates, ESCA LLC and ESCA II Limited Partnership, in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

F-11 COSO FINANCE PARTNERS Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnerships Coso Finance Partners (CFP or the Partnership) and Coso Finance Partners II (CFP II) were formed on July 7, 1987 in connection with the refinancing of the construction of a 30-net-megawatt (NMW) geothermal power plant and the expansion of that power plant from 30 NMW to approximately 80 NMW, constructed on behalf of China Lake Joint Venture (CLJV) on land at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, Coso Hot Springs, China Lake, California. CFP acquired the assets and assume the liabilities of CLJV insofar as they related to the first turbine generator set of the power plant and the related geothermal resources. CFP II acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of CLJV insofar as they related to the second and third turbine generator sets, together with the related geothermal resources. The three turbine generators that comprise the power plant have the capacity to produce an aggregate of approximately 80 NMWs. CFP and CFP II were formed as separate entities in order to facilitate bank financing of the completed power plant and power plants under construction, respectively. In 1988, CFP II assigned its assets and liabilities to CFP in exchange for a royalty of 5% of the value of the steam produced. During 1999, CFP merged with CFP II with CFP surviving as a general partnership owned by ESCA LLC (ESCA) and New CLOC Company, LLC (New CLOC), both Delaware limited liability companies. CFP and CFP II were general partnerships between China Lake Operating Company (CLOC), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy Company, Inc. (CalEnergy), now known as MidAmerican Energy Holding Company and ESCA, and China Lake Geothermal Management Company (CLGMC), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy, and ESCA II Limited Partnership (ESCA II), respectively. ESCA was a California limited liability company between Caithness Geothermal 1980, Ltd., Caithness Power, L.L.C., and ESI Geothermal, Inc. (ESI) (a subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc.). ESCA II was a California limited partnership between Caithness Geothermal 1980, Ltd., Mojave Power II, Inc. and ESI Geothermal II, Inc. (a subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc.). On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC and an affiliate of ESCA and ESCA II, purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CLOC and CLGMC (see note 3) and formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, New CLOC, a Delaware limited liability company, and New CLGMC Company (New CLGMC), a Delaware limited liability company. In May of 1999, CFP II merged into CFP, ESCA II merged into ESCA, and New CLGMC merged into New CLOC. In October 1999, CAC purchased all of ESI's interest in ESCA and ESCA II. The new managing partner of CFP became New CLOC. Since CFP and CFP II operated under common ownership and management control, the statements of operations and cash flows of CFP and CFP II for the year ended December 31, 1998 have been combined after elimination of intercompany amounts. The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California Edison (Edison) under a 24-year power purchase contract expiring in 2011. Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CFP as follows: * Contractual payments for energy delivered, which payments escalated at an average rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date of firm operation (scheduled energy price period). After the scheduled energy price period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided energy cost experienced by Edison. In August 1997, the Partnership completed the first ten-year period. At that time, Edison ceased paying the scheduled energy rates. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95 cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 24-year power purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the Partnership could fluctuate significantly; * Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant capacity defined in the contract; and * Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds 85% of the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the bonus payments aggregated $2,250, $1,345, and $1,510, respectively. CalEnergy served as the operator for CEP, maintaining the accounting records and operating the plant day-to-day, until February 1, 1999 at which time Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance agreements with CLOC, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all of its interest and rights in COC to CAC, which became manager and sole member. On February 25, 1999, CFP entered into two operating and maintenance agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with COC. The initial term of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission line. The term of the COC agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October 17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became the sole operator of all Partnership operations. At formation, and as subsequently amended, the terms of the partnership agreements provided that distributable cash flow before "payout" was allocated 10% to CLOC as managing partner and 90% in proportion to the remaining sums necessary to be distributed to each partner to achieve payout. "Payout" occurred in June 1996 and is defined as the point at which each partner had received aggregate cash distributions from the 90% allocation in amounts equal to their accumulated cash contributions plus amounts equal to 10% simple interest on the cash contributions. For purposes of allocating net income to partners capital accounts, profits and losses are allocated based on the aforementioned percentages. For income tax purposes, certain deductions and credits are subject to special allocations as defined in the partnership agreements. Cash flow after "payout" is allocated 53.6% and 46.4% to ESCA and New CLOC (formerly CLOC/CLGMC), respectively. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC). In addition, the U.S. Navy (Navy) reimburses CFP for electricity paid on their behalf (see note 6). As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the balance due from the Navy was $477 and $480, respectively. Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the payment rates scheduled in CFP's PPC with Edison through August 1997. After August 1997, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy cost. In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CFP for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing negotiations with Edison, CFP has been unable to secure from Edison a firm indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment of their November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,234. Fixed Assets and Depreciation The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation of the operating power plant and transmission line is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"), an impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not recoverable. The Partnership considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows before interest charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Partnership estimates fair value based on the best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary. Start-Up Activities In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP No.98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption, costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as incurred. CFP adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of CFP. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $923. Wells and Resource Development Costs The Partnership follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources. All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the cost of drilling and equipping production wells, and administrative and interest costs directly attributable to the project, are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated useful lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period between overhauls as these costs extend the useful life of the respective assets. These deferred costs of $497 and $292 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment. Currently, plant overhauls are amortized over three to four years from the point of completion. Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were $42, $47, and $8, respectively. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 balance sheet and the 1999 and 1998 statements of operations and cash flows to conform to the 2000 presentation. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the related financing. In 1999 fees of $1,984 associated with certain short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs related to acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new deferred financing costs of $4,122. The $215 balance of the deferred financing costs at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced project debt was included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of the refinancing (see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $893 and $373, respectively. Income Taxes There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the responsibility of the partners. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all money market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash and Investments As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Restricted cash and investments include a capital expenditure reserve and a sinking fund, related to a lump-sum royalty payment of $25,000 to be paid to the Navy in 2009 (see note 6) totaling $9,838 and $8,583 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This account comprised various mortgage-backed securities with maturities ranging from 2000 through 2005. Restricted cash and investments also includes a sinking fund for the project debt service required by the project loans (see note 7). The carrying amount of restricted cash and investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated fair value, which is based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial institution which holds the investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and partners capital and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and allocation of profits and losses during the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $132,103 and $150,647, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior secured notes and the Coso Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7). The investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc. approximates the fair value. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and addressed certain implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended requires that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership does not have any derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on the Partnership's financial statements. (3) Acquisition Accounting On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CFP and CFP II, Coso Energy Developers (CED), and Coso Power Developers (CPD), collectively known as the Coso Partnerships, for approximately $205,500 in cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately $139,800. The purchase price allocated to CFP was approximately $62,000 plus the assumption of debt of approximately $40,600. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded. After CAC's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CFP, a new basis of accounting was adopted and, therefore, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair value, with the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro rata basis. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $24,316 in the recorded amounts of property, plant, and equipment, and an increase of $14,344 in the recorded amounts for the power purchase contract. The power purchase contract is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the power purchase contract of 12.5 years as of the date of acquisition. Accumulated amortization on the power purchase contract at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $2,104 and $956, respectively. (4) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc. China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CFP, CED, and CPD. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are held by CLPSI. CFP's investment in CLPSI represents funds advanced for the purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory held by CLPSI on behalf of CFP is valued at the lower of cost or market. (5) Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Power plant and gathering system $ 154,506 151,282 Transmission line 5,746 5,705 Wells and resource development costs 68,466 68,170 ------ ------ 228,718 225,157 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (79,642) (71,278) ------- ------- $ 149,076 153,879 ======= ======= The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison substation at Victorville, California. (6) Royalty Expense Royalty expense is summarized as follows: 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------ ----- Unit 1 $ 3,824 3,852 3,114 Units 2 and 3 7,097 6,305 3,710 ------ ------ ----- Total $ 10,921 10,157 6,824 ====== ====== ===== The power plant is located on land owned by the Navy and governed under the terms of a 30-year contract. To develop geothermal energy on its lands, CFP pays a royalty for the first turbine unit only by paying the Navy's monthly Edison bill for specified quantities of electricity and, in return, is reimbursed at a set rate for such quantities of electricity. During 2000, 1999, and 1998, CFP was reimbursed for approximately 76% of the amount of the Nav's Edison bills paid by CFP. The royalties for the second and third turbines increased from 10% of related revenues to 15% in December 1998 and will increase to 20% in December 2003. In addition, CFP is required to pay the Navy $25,000 in December 2009, the date the contract expires. The payment is secured by funds placed on deposit monthly, which funds plus accrued interest will aggregate $25,000. Currently, the monthly amount to be deposited is approximately $60. The balance included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $9,862 and $8,583, respectively. (7) Project Loans In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CFP and CFP II, CAC arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which approximately $77,610 was allocated to CFP. As a result of "push-down" accounting, the short-term debt was reflected in the financial statement of CFP and was repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured notes. Financing costs associated with the short-term financing are included in interest expense - acquisition debt. On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised $413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned approximately $151,550 to CFP from the $413,000 debt raised from the offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $29,000 at 6.80% and another of $122,550 at 9.05% with payments due at various dates through December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December 15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $5,556 was available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the noteholders on January 19, 2000. The trustee's failure to make the principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership, and the Partnership's management believes this is not an event of default. Furthermore, all related penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through this financing the existing project loan and short-term financing of approximately $118,176 were repaid and an extraordinary loss of approximately $2,375 from the early extinguishment of this debt was incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium and other costs incurred to pay the existing project loan before its maturity date. The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------------- ---------------- 2001 $ 12,434 2002 11,597 2003 13,408 2004 10,694 2005 15,100 Thereafter 71,751 ---------------- $ 134,984 ================ The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnershi's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release funds from reserve accounts, make distributions, create liens, and enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation. The Partnership, Funding Corp., CPD, and CED are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes. The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------------- ---------------- 2001 $ 27,067 2002 21,771 2003 27,618 2004 31,332 2005 35,480 Thereafter 186,799 ---------------- $ 330,067 ================ (8) Related Party Transactions The amounts due from and to related parties at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Amounts due from related parties: Coso Operating Company $ -- 1,663 CPD for steam sharing 1,357 2,807 CED for steam sharing 603 38 ------- -------- $ 1,960 4,508 ======= ======== Amounts due to related parties: Caithness Coso Funding Corp. $ 525 564 Coso Operating Company 60 -- Caithness Operating Company 112 -- ------- ------- $ 697 564 ======= ======== COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of CFP. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of CFP geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of operating expenses. The amount due to COC relates to reimbursements for payment of operating expenses. Both CalEnergy and ESCA were reimbursed at approved amounts for their respective costs incurred in relation to the CFP Management Committee. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-, $25, and $147, respectively, while ESCA received $-0-, $129, and $221, respectively. As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fee was eliminated and replaced by a non-managing fee payable to ESCA. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, ESCA received $234 and $129, respectively. The amount due to Funding Corp. is accrued interest for fifteen days in December related to the project loans. The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for payments of operating expenses. CFP is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the expenses of operating CLPSI. The charges to CFP from CLPSI in 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $43, $65, and $532, respectively. During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships. In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CFP steam sharing revenue, net of royalties and other related costs, amounted to $5,962, $17,579, and $17,556 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. (9) Settlement of Litigation In February 2000, the Partnership, CED, and CPD reached a settlement with Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case has not been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under the settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement will be allocated among the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the purchase accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in the Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to settlement of litigation and related expenses. In June 1999, the Partnership, CED, CPD, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement. Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships. (10) Risks and Uncertainties The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by CFP, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2). In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a law that will, among other things, provide for long-term price stability and payments to qualifying facilities, such as the Partnership. Under the draft legislation currently being considered by the California legislature, the Partnership believes that it will ultimately collect a sufficient amount of revenue from its electricity sales to fund its operations. F-12 Independent Auditors Report The Partners and Management Committee Coso Energy Developers: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Energy Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Coso Energy Developers as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February 12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Energy Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not already owned by its affiliates, Caithness Coso Holdings LLC, in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

F-18 CAITHNESS ENERGY DEVELOPERS. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (Dollars in thousands) (1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnership Coso Energy Developers (CED or the Partnership) was founded on March 31, 1988, in connection with financing the construction of a geothermal power plant on land leased from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at Coso Hot Springs, China Lake, California. CED is a general partnership owned by Caithness Coso Holdings, LLC (CCH), a California limited liability company and, until February 25, 1999, Coso Hotsprings Intermountain Powers, Inc. (CHIP), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy Company, Inc. (CalEnergy), now known as MidAmerican Energy Holding Company. On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC and an affiliate of CCH, purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CHIP (see note 3) and formed a wholly owned subsidiary, New CHIP Company, LLC (New CHIP), a Delaware limited liability company, to become the new managing general partner of CED. The CED power plants are located on land owned by the BLM. There are turbine generators located at both the East and West power locks. CED pays royalties to BLM of 10% of the value of the steam produced. The primary BLM geothermal lease had an initial term of ten years (1998) and thereafter is subject to automatic extension until October 31, 2035, so long as geothermal steam is commercially produced. In addition, the lease may be extended to 2075 at the option of the BLM. Coso Land Company (CLC), the original leaseholder, retained a 5% overriding royalty interest based on the value of the steam produced. CLC was a joint venture between CalEnergy and an affiliate of CCH. On February 25, 1999, CalEnergy transferred all its interest and rights in CLC to CAC. The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California Edison (Edison) under a 30-year power purchase contract expiring in 2019. Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CED as follows: * Contractual payments for energy delivered, which payments escalated at an average rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date of firm operation (scheduled energy price period). After the scheduled energy price period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided energy cost experienced by Edison. In March of 1999, the Partnership completed the ten-year fixed price payment period and Edison ceased paying the scheduled energy rates. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95 cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 30-year power purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the Partnership could fluctuate significantly; * Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant capacity defined in the contract; and * Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivery exceeds 85% of the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the bonus aggregated $2,230, $2,200, and $2,124, respectively. CalEnergy served as the operator for CED, maintaining the accounting records and operating the plant day-to-day, until February 1, 1999 at which time when Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance agreements with CHIP, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all of its interest and right in COC to CAC, which became its manager and sole member. On February 25, 1999, CED entered into two operating and maintenance agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with COC. The initial term of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission line. The term of the COC agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October 17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became the sole operator of all Partnership operations. At formation, and as subsequently amended, the partnership agreement provided that distributable cash flow before "payout" was allocated 3.81% to CHIP as managing partner and 96.19% allocated in proportion to the remaining sums necessary to be distributed to each partner to achieve payout. "Payout" was defined as the point at which each partner had received aggregate cash distributions from the 96.19% allocation in amounts equal to their accumulated capital contributions. Cash flow after "payout," which occurred in June 1994, is allocated 48% to New CHIP (formerly CHIP) and 52% to CCH. For purposes of allocating net income to partners capital accounts, profits and losses are allocated based on the aforementioned capital percentages. For income tax purposes, certain deductions and credits are subject to special allocations as defined in the partnership agreement. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC). Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the payment rates scheduled in CED's PPC with Edison through March 1999. After March 1999, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy cost. In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CED for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing negotiations with Edison, CED has been unable to secure from Edison a firm indication of the time frame during which it can expect payment of its November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,279. Fixed Assets and Depreciation The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while replacements; maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation of the power plant and transmission line is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"), an impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not recoverable. The Partnership considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows before interest charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Partnership estimates fair value based on the best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary. Start-Up Activities In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position (SOP) No.98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities." SOP No. 98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption, costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as incurred. CED adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of CED. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $953. Wells and Resource Development Costs CED follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources. All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the cost of drilling and equipping production wells, and administrative and interest costs directly attributable to the project are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated useful lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period between overhauls as these costs extend the life of the respective assets. These deferred costs of $100 and $271 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment. Currently, plant overhauls are amortized over three years from the point of completion. Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred during the year. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were $653, $676, and $669, respectively. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 balance sheet and the 1999 and 1998 statements of operations and cash flows to conform to the 2000 presentation. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the related financing. On February 25, 1999, the fees of $1,408 associated with certain short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs related to acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new deferred financing costs of $3,032. The $148 balance of the deferred financing costs at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced project debt was included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of the refinancing (see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $552 and $234, respectively. Income Taxes There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the responsibility of the partners. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, CED considers all money market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash and Investments As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Included in restricted cash and investments are capital expenditure reserves and sinking fund requirements for the project debt service required by the projects loan (see note 7). The carrying amount of restricted cash and investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated fair value, which is based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial institution, which holds the investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and partners capital and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and the allocation of profits and losses during the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $98,694 and $107,302, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior secured notes and the COSO Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7). The investments in Coso Transmission Line Partners and China Lake Plant Services, Inc. approximate the fair value. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS 133 and addressed certain implementation issues. SFAS 133, as amended, requires that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership does not have any derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on the Partnership's financial statements. (3) Acquisition Accounting On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CED, Coso Power Developers (CPD), Coso Finance Partners (CFP), and Coso Finance Partners II (CFP II), collectively known as the Coso partnerships, for approximately $205,500 in cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately $139,800. Allocated to CED from the purchase price was approximately $69,000 plus the assumption of debt of approximately $37,900. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded. After CAC's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CED, a new basis of accounting was adopted and, therefore, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $29,304 in the recorded amounts of property, plant, and equipment and an increase of $21,443 in the recorded amounts for the power purchase contract. The power purchase contract is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the power purchase contract of 20 years as of the date of acquisition. Accumulated amortization on the power purchase contract at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1,933 and $894, respectively. (4) Investment in Coso Transmission Line Partners Coso Transmission Line Partners (CTLP) is a partnership, between CED and CPD, which owns the transmission line and facilities connecting the power plants owned by CED and CPD to the transmission line, owned by Edison, at Inyokern, California, located 28 miles south of the plants. CTLP charges CED and CPD for the use of the transmission line at amounts sufficient for CTLP to recover its operating costs. These charges are recorded by CED as operating expenses and reflected as a reduction in CED's investment in CTLP. (5) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc. China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CED, CPD, and CFP. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are held by CLPSI. CED's investments in CLPSI represent funds advanced for the purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory held by CLPSI on behalf of CED is valued at the lower of cost or market. (6) Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Power plant and gathering system $ 146,500 146,327 Transmission line 9,120 9,120 Wells and resources development costs 82,624 81,736 -------- -------- 238,244 237,183 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (84,626) (71,533) -------- -------- $ 153,618 165,650 ======== ======== The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison substation at Victorville, California. (7) Project Loan In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CED, CAC arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which $55,256 was allocated to CED. As a result of "push-down" accounting, the short-term debt was reflected in the financial statement of CED and was repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured notes. Financing costs associated with the short-term financing are included in interest expense-acquisition debt. On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised $413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned approximately $107,900 to CED from the $413,000 debt raised from the offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $11,650 at 6.80% and another of $96,250 at 9.05%, with payments due at various dates through December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December 15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $4,105 was available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership and the Partnership's management believes this is not an event of default. Furthermore, all related penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through this financing the existing project loan and short-term financing loans of $93,214 were repaid and an extraordinary loss of approximately $1,822 from the early extinguishment of this debt was incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium and other costs incurred to pay the existing project loan before its maturity date. The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------- ------- 2001 $ 4,657 2002 6,375 2003 5,055 2004 9,920 2005 8,683 Thereafter 66,217 ------- $ 100,907 ======= The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that among other things, limit the Partnership's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release funds from reserve accounts, make distributions, create liens, and enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation. The Partnership, Funding Corp., CPD, and CFP are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes. The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------- -------- 2001 $ 27,067 2002 21,771 2003 27,618 2004 31,332 2005 35,480 Thereafter 186,799 ------- $ 330,067 ======= (8) Related Party Transactions The amounts due from and to related parties at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 -------- -------- Amounts due from related parties: CLC: Principal $ 141 141 Accrued interest 224 190 Coso Operating Company, LLC -- 430 -------- -------- $ 365 761 ======== ======== Amounts due to related parties: CPD for steam sharing $ 127 673 CFP for steam sharing 603 38 CLC 22,532 21,339 Caithness Coso Funding Corp. 397 410 Coso Operating Company, LLC 564 -- Caithness Operating Company, Inc. 98 -- -------- -------- $ 24,321 22,460 ======== ======== COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of CED. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of CED geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of operating expenses. The amount due to COC relates to reimbursements for payments of operating expenses. Both CCH and CalEnergy were reimbursed at approved amounts for their respective costs incurred in relation to the CED Management Committee. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-, $25, and $148, respectively, while CCH received $-0-, $130, and $223, respectively. As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fees were eliminated, and replaced by a non-managing fee payable to CCH. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, CCH received $234 and $129, respectively. As indicated in note 1, CLC is entitled to a royalty of 5% of the value of steam used by CED to produce the electricity sold to Edison. The royalty due CLC for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $1,195, $771, and $3,057, respectively. Payment of royalties due to CLC is subordinated to payment of the project loans (see note 7). CED is charged for its use of the transmission line owned by CTLP. The amount of such net charges was $110, $115, and $115 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. CED is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the expenses of operating CLPSI. The 2000, 1999, and 1998 costs charged to CED from CLPSI were approximately $359, $143, and $1,350, respectively. The amount due to Caithness Coso Funding Corp. represents accrued interest for fifteen days in December related to the project loans (see note 7). The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for payments of operating expenses. On December 16, 1992, CED retired CLC's promissory note due CalEnergy, resulting in the loan from CED to CLC of $141. Interest was accrued on this loan for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 at 10.0%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, respectively. Interest on the note was $34, $34, and $34 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships. In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CED steam sharing resulted in an expense, net of royalties and other related costs for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 of $2,712, $6,103, and $14,898, respectively. (9) Settlement of Litigation In February 2000, the Partnership, CFP, and CPD reached a settlement with Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case has not yet been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under the settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement was allocated among the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the purchase accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in the Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to settlement of litigation and related expenses. In June 1999, the Partnership, CFP, CPD, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement. Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships. In December 1999, the Partnership and Dow Chemical Company (Dow) entered into a confidential settlement agreement which was effective January 1, 2000, to resolve CED's claim to recover damages incurred related to an installation in 1992 by Dow of a hydrogen sulfide abatement system. (10) Risk and Uncertainties The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with its retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of its electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by CED, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2). In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a law that will among other things, provide for long-term price stability, and payments to qualifying facilities, such as, the Partnership. Under the draft legislation currently being considered by the California Legislature, the Partnership believes that it will ultimately collect a sufficient amount of revenue from its electricity sales to fund its operations. F-19 Independent Auditors Report The Partners and Management Committee Coso Power Developers: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Power Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Coso Power Developers as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February 12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Power Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not already owned by its affiliates, Navy II Group LLC, in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. March 16, 2001 /s/ KPMG LLP - ------------ KPMG LLP F-20 Report of Independent Accountants To the Partners of Coso Power Developers In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Coso Power Developers for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

F-25 CAITHNESS POWER DEVELOPERS Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (Dollars in thousands) (1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnership Coso Power Developers (CPD or the Partnership) was formed on July 31, 1989 in connection with financing the construction of a geothermal power plant on land at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station at Coso Hot Springs, China Lake, California. CPD is a general partnership between Caithness Navy II Group LLC (Navy II), a New Jersey limited liability company, and, until February 25, 1999, Coso Technology Corporation (CTC), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy, Inc. (CalEnergy), now known as MidAmerica Energy Holdings Company. On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC and an affiliate of Navy II, purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CTC (see note 3) and formed a wholly owned subsidiary, New CTC Company, LLC (New CTC), a Delaware limited liability company, to become the new managing general partner of CPD. The power plant is located on land owned by the U.S. Navy. Under the terms of a 30-year contract with the U.S. Navy to develop geothermal energy on its land, CPD pays a royalty to the U.S. Navy which was initially 4% of revenues, increased to 10% of revenues at December 31, 1998, and is currently 18% of revenues (as of December 24, 1999). The royalty will increase to 20% of revenues after December 15, 2004. The U.S. Navy contract will expire in 2010. The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California Edison (Edison) under a 20-year power purchase contract expiring in 2010. Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CPD as follows: * Contractual payments for energy delivered, which escalated at an average rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date of firm operation (scheduled energy price period). The scheduled energy price period extended until January 2000. After the scheduled energy price period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided energy cost experienced by Edison. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95 cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 20-year power purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the Partnership could fluctuate significantly; * Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant capacity defined in the contract; and * Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds 85% of the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the bonus payments aggregated $2,248, $2,248, and $2,242, respectively. CalEnergy served as the operator for CPD, maintaining the accounting records and operating the plant day to day, until February 1, 1999, at which time Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance agreements with CTC, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all of its interest and right in COC to CAC, which became manager and sole member. On February 25, 1999, CPD entered into two operating and maintenance agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with COC. The initial terms of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission line. The term of the COC Agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October 17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became the sole operator of all Partnership operations. At formation, and as subsequently amended, the partnership agreement provides that cash flows before and after "payout," are allocated 50% each to New CTC (formerly CTC) and Navy II. "Payout," which has occurred, is defined as the point at which each partner received aggregate cash distributions in an amount equal to their accumulated capital contributions. For purposes of allocating net income to partners capital accounts and for income tax purposes, profits and losses are allocated based on the aforementioned capital percentages. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from Edison for electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC). Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the payment rates scheduled in CPD's PPC with Edison, through January 2000. After January 2000, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy cost. In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CPD for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing negotiations with Edison, CPD has been unable to secure from Edison a firm indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment of their November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,312. Fixed Assets and Depreciation The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation of the power plant and transmission line is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 121), an impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not recoverable. The Partnership considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows before interest charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Partnership estimates fair value based on the best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary. Start-Up Activities In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position (SOP) No.98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP No.98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption, costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, and further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as incurred. CPD adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of CPD. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $1,664. Wells and Resource Development Costs CPD follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources. All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the costs of drilling and equipping production wells, and administrative and interest costs directly attributable to the project, are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated useful lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's commencement of operations. Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period between overhauls as these costs extend the useful life of the respective assets. These deferred costs of $333 and $97 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment. Currently, plant overhauls are amortized over three years from the point of completion. Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were $32, $101, and $83, respectively. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 1998 statements of operations and cash flows to conform to the 2000 presentation. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the related financing. In 1999, fees of $1,473 associated with certain short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs related to acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new deferred financing costs of $4,175. The $179 balance of the deferred financing costs at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced project debt was included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of the refinancing (see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1,320 and $551, respectively. Income Taxes There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the responsibility of the partners. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, CPD considers all money market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash and Investments As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Included in restricted cash and investments are capital expenditure reserves and sinking fund requirements for the project debt service required by the project loans (see note 7). The carrying amount of restricted cash and investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated fair value, which is based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial institution which holds the investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, partners capital, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and the allocation of profits and losses during the reportable period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $93,866 and $152,435, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior secured notes and the Coso Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7). The investments in Coso Transmission Line Partners and China Lake Plant Services, Inc. approximate fair value. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and addressed certain implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership does not have any derivative instruments and therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on the Partnership's financial statements. (3) Acquisition Accounting On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CPD, Coso Energy Developers (CED), Coso Finance Partners (CFP), and Coso Finance Partners II (CFP II), collectively known as the Coso Partnerships, for approximately $205,500 in cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately $139,800. The purchase price allocated to CPD was approximately $74,500 plus the assumption of debt of approximately $61,300. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded. After CAC's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CPD, a new basis of accounting was adopted and, therefore, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro rata basis. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $33,536 in the recorded amounts for the value of property, plant, and equipment and an increase of $30,738 in the recorded amounts for the power purchase contract. The power purchase contract is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the power purchase contract of 11 years as of the date of acquisition. Accumulated amortization on the power purchase contract at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $5,124 and $2,329, respectively. (4) Investment in Coso Transmission Line Partners Coso Transmission Line Partners (CTLP) is a partnership between CPD and CED, which owns the transmission line and facilities connecting the power plants owned by CPD and CED to the transmission line, owned by Edison, at Inyokern, California, located 28 miles south of the plants. CTLP charges CPD and CED for the use of the transmission line at amounts sufficient for CTLP to recover its operating costs. These charges are recorded by CPD as operating expenses and reflected as a reduction in CPD's investment in CTLP. (5) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc. China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CPD, CED, and CFP. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are held by CLPSI. CPD's investments in CLPSI represent funds advanced for the purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory held by CLPSI on behalf of CPD is valued at the lower of cost or market. (6) Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 --------------- -------------- Power, plant, and gathering system $ 142,350 141,068 Transmission line 7,245 7,245 Wells and resources development costs 60,010 59,735 --------------- -------------- 209,605 208,048 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (72,658) (60,526) --------------- -------------- $ 136,947 147,522 ================ ============== The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison substation at Victorville, California. (7) Project Loans In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CPD, CAC arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which approximately $78,634 was allocated to CPD. As a result of "push-down" accounting, the short-term debt was reflected in the financial statements of CPD and was repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured notes. Financing costs associated with the short-term financing are included in interest expense - acquisition debt. On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised $413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned approximately $153,550 to CPD from the $413,000 debt raised from the offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $69,350 at 6.80% and another note of $84,200 at 9.05% with payments due at various dates through December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December 15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $43,004 was available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership and the Partnership's management believes this is not an event of default. Furthermore, all related penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through this financing, the existing project loan and short-term financing of approximately $139,957 was repaid and an extraordinary loss of approximately $2,147 from the early extinguishment of this debt was incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium and other costs incurred to pay the existing project loan before its maturity date. The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------- ------ 2001 $ 9,976 2002 3,799 2003 9,155 2004 10,718 2005 11,697 Thereafter 48,831 ------ $ 94,176 ====== The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release funds from reserve amounts, make distributions, create loans, and enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation. The Partnership, Funding Corp., CED, and CFP are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes. The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending December 31 is as follows: Year ending December 31 Amount ----------------------- ------ 2001 $ 27,067 2002 21,771 2003 27,618 2004 31,332 2005 35,480 Thereafter 186,799 ------- $ 330,067 ======= (8) Related Party Transactions The amounts due from and to related parties at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following: 2000 1999 ----- ----- Amounts due from related parties: CED for steam sharing $ 127 673 Coso Operating Company 1,784 2,714 China Lake Joint Venture: Principal 1,562 1,562 Accrued interest 2,480 2,109 ----- ----- $ 5,953 7,058 ===== ===== Amounts due to related parties: CFP for steam sharing $ 1,357 2,807 Caithness Coso Funding Corp. 365 418 Caithness Operating Company 94 -- ----- ----- $ 1,816 3,225 ===== ===== COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of CPD. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of the CPD geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of operating expenses. Both CalEnergy and Navy II were reimbursed at approved amounts for their respective costs incurred in relation to the CPD Management Committee. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-, $25, and $148, respectively, while Navy II received $-0-, $130, and $223, respectively. As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fees were eliminated and replaced by a nonmanaging fee payable to Navy II. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, Navy II received $234 and $129, respectively. CPD is charged for its use of the transmission line owned by CTLP. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the amount of such net charges was $179, $127, and $127, respectively. CPD is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the expenses of operating CLPSI. The charges to CPD from CLPSI in 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $318, $78, and $361, respectively. On December 16, 1992, CPD retired China Lake Joint Venture's (CLJV) promissory note due CalEnergy, resulting in the loan from CPD to CLJV of $1,562 at December 31, 1992. CLJV is an affiliated venture. Interest has been accrued on this loan for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 at 10.0%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, respectively. Interest on the loan was $371, $421, and $371 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The amount due to Caithness Coso Funding Corp. represents accrued interest for fifteen days in December, related to the project loans (see note 7). The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for payments of operating expenses. During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships. In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CPD steam sharing resulted in an expense, net of royalties and other related costs, of $5,751 and $18,618 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and a revenue, net of expense, of $342 for the year ended December 31, 1998. (9) Settlement of Litigation In February 2000, the Partnership, CED, and CFP reached a settlement with Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case has not yet been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under the settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement will be allocated among the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the purchase accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in the Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to settlement of litigation and related expenses. In June 1999, the Partnership, CED, CFP, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement. Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships. (10) Risks and Uncertainties The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001 Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by CPD, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2). In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a law that will, among other things, provide for long-term price stability and payments to qualifying facilities such as the Partnership.

F-30 COSO PARTNERSHIPS NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (Dollars in thousands) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements were derived from the stand alone financial statements of Caithness Coso Funding Corp., Coso Finance Partners, Coso Energy Developers and Coso Power Developers. All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated. This financial information has been provided to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Coso Partnerships as a whole. The unaudited condensed combined financial statements should read in conjunction with each individual partnership's financial statements. (2) Acquisition On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC, purchased all of the interests in the Coso projects that were owned by CalEnergy Company Inc. (CalEnergy) which is now known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The purchase price consisted of $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in contingent payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates' share of debt outstanding. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded. After Caithness Acquisition's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in Coso Partnerships, a new basis of accounting was adopted and is referred to as "New Basis" as compared to the former cost basis which is referred to as "Old Basis" in the financial statements. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis. In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in Coso Partnerships, Caithness Acquisition arranged for short-term debt financing of approximately $211.5 million. This short-term debt was repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured notes (see note 3). (3) Debt Financing On May 28, 1999 Caithness Coso Funding Corp. loaned approximately $413.0 million to Coso Partnerships from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $110.0 million with an interest rate of 6.80% and another of $303.0 million with an interest rate of 9.05% with maturity dates of December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively. All prior project loans of approximately $351.4 million were repaid from the proceeds of the financing and an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of this debt was incurred for approximately $6.3 million. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium and other costs incurred to pay the prior project loans before maturity. F-31 Item 9. Changes in and disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Since 1991, Caithness Energy and CalEnergy, the two former co-sponsors of the Coso projects, had engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to audit the financial statements of the Coso partnerships. On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso projects, and Caithness Energy engaged KPMG LLP, its own independent certified public accountants, to audit future financial statements of the Coso partnerships. In connection with the audits of the financial statements of Coso Finance Partners and Coso Finance Partners II, Coso Energy Developers and Coso Power Developers for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998 and through February 25, 1999, (i) Caithness Energy had no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Coso partnerships did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except for the reference to the Coso partnerships' adoption in 1998 of Statement of Position No. 98-5, ''Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities.''

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The Coso Partnerships Each of the Coso partnerships has two general partners, a managing partner and a non-managing partner. Under the amended and restated partnership agreement, the managing partner of each Coso partnership is generally responsible for the management and control of the day-to-day business and affairs. The managing partner of the Navy I partnership is New CLOC Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the managing partner of the BLM partnership is New CHIP Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the managing partner of the Navy II partnership is New CTC Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The non-managing partner of the Navy I partnership is ESCA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the non-managing partner of the BLM partnership is Caithness Coso Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the non-managing partner of the Navy II partnership is Caithness Navy II Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. 28 Each managing partner is a limited liability company managed by a manager who is appointed by CAC, the sole member of each managing partner. The manager is responsible for the ordinary course management and operations by its Coso partnership. CAC has appointed itself as the manager of each managing partner. CAC has also appointed Mr. Ferrucci as the independent manager of each managing partner. (In addition, each of the managing members of the non-managing partners has appointed Mr. Ferrucci as the independent manager of that non-managing partner.) The approval of the independent manager is required before the managing partner (or the non-managing partner, as the case may be) may take certain actions that do not involve the ordinary course management and operations by the Coso partnerships of the Coso projects, including, among others, (1) commencing any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the managing partner, (2) incurring any debt in the name of the managing partner for which it would be liable, (3) dissolving, liquidating, consolidating or merging, or selling all or substantially all of the assets of, its respective Coso partnership, or (4) engaging in any business or activity other than acting as the managing partner of its respective Coso partnership. Each managing partner also has its officers, who are also officers of Funding Corp., who act on behalf of the managing partners of the Coso partnerships. CAC, a limited liability company, is the manager and sole member of each of the managing partners. Caithness Energy as the manager and sole owner of CAC, has delegated its role as manager of CAC to the CAC board of directors, including the power to manage the managing partners of the Coso partnerships. Each managing partner's officers are also the officers of CAC. None of the persons acting on behalf of the Coso partnerships receives any compensation from the Coso partnerships for his or her services, except that nominal compensation is paid in consideration for Mr. Ferrucci's services. Caithness Energy is governed by a board of directors and not by its members. The directors of Funding Corp., other than Mr. Ferrucci, also currently serve as members of the board of directors of Caithness Energy. Under the limited liability company agreement of Caithness Energy, Caithness Corporation is entitled to appoint a number of members to the Board of Directors of Caithness Energy who hold, in the aggregate, a majority of the votes of all members of such board of directors. Caithness Corporation's present appointees are Messrs. Bishop, Sr., and Bishop, Jr.. In addition, Messrs. Gelber, Carpenter and McCallion serve as voting members of the board of directors of Caithness Energy pursuant to their individual executive compensation agreements with Caithness Energy. These five individuals, together with Mr. Ferrucci, serve as the CAC board of directors. Management Committees Under the amended and restated partnership agreement of each Coso partnership, the managing partner is subject to the directives of a management committee which oversees the business operations of the Coso partnership. The managing partner of a Coso partnership may not take certain specific actions without the consent of the management committee of that Coso partnership. However, the management committee may not direct the managing partner of the Coso partnership to take any action over which the independent manager has exclusive authority without the requisite approval of the independent manager. The management committee of each Coso partnership consists of four delegates, two of which are appointed by the managing partner and two of which are appointed by the non-managing partner. Each partner may substitute or change its delegates. Under the amended and restated partnership agreements of the Coso partnerships, each partner may appoint one delegate with multiple votes. The names of the delegates appointed by affiliates of Caithness Energy to the management committees of the Coso partnerships are set forth below.
