This current report includes forward-looking statements. Edison Mission Energy has based these forward-looking
statements on its current expectations and projections about future events based upon knowledge of facts as of

Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

         On November 5, 2003, Edison International, the ultimate parent company of Edison Mission Energy, issued
press releases that included information about Edison Mission Energy's consolidated financial results for the
third quarter of 2003.  Copies of the press releases are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The information
furnished in this Item 12, Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933.

Reporting of 2002 Change in Accounting - Reconciliation with Edison International

         Effective January 1, 2002, Edison Mission Energy adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  SFAS No. 142 establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring goodwill not to be amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit
level.  During the third quarter of 2002, Edison Mission Energy concluded that fair value of the goodwill related
to the Citizens Power LLC acquisition was impaired by $14 million, net of $9 million of income tax benefit and,
accordingly, reported this amount as a cumulative change in accounting.  In accordance with SFAS No. 3,
"Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", Edison Mission Energy's financial statements for
the first quarter of 2002 were restated to reflect the accounting change as of January 1, 2002.

         Edison International did not report the goodwill impairment charge discussed above as a cumulative
change in accounting based on the immaterial amount of the charge in relation to its consolidated financial
statements.  Instead, Edison International reported the goodwill impairment charge as part of continuing
operations during the third quarter ended September 30, 2002.  The following table reconciles the amounts that
were reported by Edison Mission Energy for the first nine months of 2002 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K to the
segment results for the same prior period as reflected in the Edison International press release.

                              Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2003 - Part I

        ROSEMEAD, Calif., November 5, 2003 -- Edison International (EIX) recorded third-quarter 2003 earnings per
share of $1.67, compared to $1.08 per share in the same period last year.  The increase primarily reflects the
resolution of certain regulatory proceedings at Southern California Edison (SCE) in the third quarter of 2003 and
write-offs of capitalized costs at Edison Mission Energy (EME) in the same period last year.

        The 2003 third-quarter results also include a gain of 14 cents per share from discontinued operations due
to the sale of SCE's fuel oil pipeline and storage business.  The 2002 third quarter results include earnings
from discontinued operations of two cents per share at EME's Lakeland project.  Excluding earnings from
discontinued operations, EIX's earnings from continuing operations were $1.53 per share in the third quarter of
2003 compared to $1.06 per share in 2002.

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings from Continuing Operations
- -----------------------------------

        SCE's earnings from continuing operations were $329 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with
$234 million in the third quarter of 2002.  This $95 million increase reflects the resolution of certain
regulatory proceedings recorded in the third quarter of 2003.  The proceedings include the California Public
Utilities Commission's (CPUC) allocation of certain overhead costs between the CPUC and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdictions, the final disposition of the Procurement Related Obligations Account
(PROACT) following the CPUC's review, and the Palo Verde nuclear incentive awards.  These favorable results were
partially offset by performance-based ratemaking (PBR) rewards received in 2002, higher net interest expense and
depreciation expense.

        EME's 2003 third quarter earnings from continuing operations of $200 million were higher than the 2002
third quarter earnings from continuing operations by $57 million primarily due to higher U.S. wholesale energy
prices, the start of operations at Phase II of the Sunrise project in June 2003, increased earnings from Contact
Energy and the ISAB and Paiton projects, and the write-off of capitalized costs in 2002.  These favorable results
were partially offset by lower capacity revenues from EME's Midwest Generation subsidiary due to



                                                     - more -

certain units being released from power purchase agreements in 2003 and lower state tax benefits than in 2002.
EME's earnings are seasonal with higher earnings expected during the summer months.

        Earnings in the third quarter of 2003 for Edison Capital were $14 million compared to $27 million in the
same period last year.  The decrease is primarily due to lower state tax benefits.

        Mission Energy Holding Company's results were unchanged from its results in the same period last year.
"EIX parent and other" incurred a loss of $18 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to a loss of $35
million in the third quarter of 2002.  The decrease in the loss reflects an insurance premium refund to EME from
EIX's insurance subsidiary in the third quarter of 2002 and an asset impairment charge at its Edison O&M Services
unit in the third quarter of 2002.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations
- -------------------------------------

        The third-quarter financial results include a $44 million, after-tax, gain on the sale of SCE's fuel oil
pipeline and storage business in 2003 and earnings from discontinued operations of $6 million in 2002 from EME's
Lakeland project.

                                                                     Quarter Ended Sept. 30,

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS SUMMARY

        EIX recorded earnings per share of $1.92 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, compared to
$3.38 for the same period last year on a reported basis.  Excluding SCE's gain of $480 million for implementation
of the CPUC's utility-retained generation (URG) decision in 2002, earnings from continuing operations were $585
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $599 million for the same period last year.
This decrease in core earnings was primarily the result of an EME 2003 asset impairment charge of 46 cents per
share, partially offset by SCE's resolution of certain regulatory proceedings in 2003 and EME's write-offs of
capitalized costs in 2002.

        2003 earnings from discontinued operations include SCE's gain on sale and operating results from its fuel
oil pipeline and storage business, and adjustments from the sale of EME's Fiddler's Ferry and Ferrybridge (FFF)
and Lakeland projects.  2002 earnings from discontinued operations are primarily related to operating results
from EME's Lakeland project.  EME's 2003 loss from the change in accounting principle of $9 million resulted from
implementation of a new accounting standard for asset retirement obligations.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations
- ------------------------------------------

        Excluding the $480 million gain in 2002 to implement the URG decision, SCE's earnings from continuing
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $55 million compared to the same period last
year.  This increase in core earnings primarily reflects the resolution of certain regulatory proceedings at SCE
recorded in the third quarter of 2003.  These proceedings include the CPUC's allocation of certain overhead
costs,

                                                     - more -



the final disposition of the PROACT account following the CPUC's review, and Palo Verde
nuclear incentive awards.  These favorable results were partially offset by regulatory items
recorded in 2002 including the CPUC decisions regarding SCE's PBR and URG-related issues.  Earnings were also
affected by higher operations and maintenance expenses and depreciation expenses, partially offset by higher
revenue.

      EME's earnings from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, decreased by
$67 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to the asset impairment charge of $150 million,
after-tax, for Midwest Generation's peaking facilities last quarter, partially offset by the start of operations
at Phase II of the Sunrise project in June 2003 and the write-off of capitalized costs in 2002.  EME's 2003
results were favorably impacted by higher U.S. wholesale energy prices and increased earnings from Contact Energy
and the Paiton project.   These favorable items were partially offset by a reduction in revenue from the Illinois
power plants, which reflects the release of certain power and capacity in 2003 from power purchase agreements,
lower ancillary revenues and mark-to-market losses on forward contracts at the First Hydro project, and lower
state tax benefits.

        Edison Capital's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $41 million, down $17 million
from the same period last year.  This decrease is primarily due to lower state tax benefits and a maturing lease
portfolio which produces lower income, partially offset by lower interest expense.

        Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 for Mission Energy Holding Company were
substantially unchanged from the results in the same period last year.  "EIX parent and other" incurred a loss of
$61 million for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, compared to a loss of $79 million in the same
period last year.  The decrease in the loss reflects an insurance premium refund to EME from EIX's insurance
subsidiary and an asset impairment charge at Edison O&M Services in the third quarter of 2002.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations
- -------------------------------------

        The increase in earnings from discontinued operations primarily reflects the 2003 gain on sale and
operating results from SCE's fuel oil pipeline and storage business, partially offset by a loss from discontinued
operations at EME from adjustments related to the sale of the FFF and Lakeland projects in 2003 and operating
income from Lakeland in 2002.

Change in Accounting Principle
- ------------------------------

        EME's results for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003 include a three-cent, or $9 million,
charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for asset retirement obligations adopted in
2003.  Because SCE follows accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises, implementation of the asset
retirement standard did not affect its earnings.
