(i) Brooklyn Navy Yard is a 286-MW gas-fired cogeneration power plant under construction in Brooklyn, New York. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company owns 50%, but is funding all of the required equity during construction. Total estimated capital cost is $485 million of which $386 million has been spent through June 30, 1996. Commercial operation is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 1996. In December 1995, the Company obtained a tax-exempt bond financing for the project in the amount of $254 million through the New York City Industrial Development Agency (NYCIDA). The Company has guaranteed the obligations of the project pursuant to the financing as well as an indemnity agreement on behalf of NYCIDA in the amount of $40 million. Consolidated Edison Company of New York (Consolidated Edison), which has contracted to buy most of the project's power, raised concerns regarding the timing of certain milestones and whether the plant's configuration and related performance comply with the terms of the contracts. The Company believes the project has complied with the terms of the contracts; however, the Company and its project partner are attempting to resolve these issues in a manner satisfactory to the project and Consolidated Edison through negotiations among the Company, its project partner and Consolidated Edison. Moreover, although the Company, its project partner and Consolidated Edison are continuing to evaluate various options with respect to the ongoing development and future operation of the project, the Company believes that its anticipated returns with respect to the project will be substantially less than it had originally estimated. The Company has been advised that the contractor intends to assert general monetary claims under the Construction Turnkey Agreement against Brooklyn Navy Yard. None of such claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. (ii) Contingent obligations to contribute additional project equity to the Paiton project would be based on events principally related to capital cost overruns during the plant construction. Management has no reason to believe that these contingent obligations or any other contingent obligations to contribute project equity will be required. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Certain of the Company subsidiaries entered into indemnification agreements whereby the subsidiaries agreed to repay capacity payments to the projects' power purchasers, in the event the projects unilaterally terminate their performance or reduce their electric power producing capability during the term of the power contract. Obligations under these indemnification agreements as of June 30, 1996, if required, would be $240 million. Management has no reason to believe that the projects will either terminate their performance or reduce their electric power producing capability during the term of the power contracts. Certain Company subsidiaries are required to fund construction costs of project facilities, which are estimated to be $113 million at June 30, 1996 (principally related to the Brooklyn Navy Yard project). LITIGATION The Company is routinely involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management, based on advice of counsel, does not believe that the final outcome of any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and foreign regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over projects located outside the United States. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with environmental regulatory requirements and that maintaining compliance with current requirements will not materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. The Company completed a review of some of its sites in 1995 and does not believe that a material liability exists as of June 30, 1996. The implementation of Clean Air Act Amendments is expected to result in increased operating expenses; however, these increased operating expenses, as well as any other potential environmental liability increase, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL - ------- The Company is one of the leading independent producers of electricity worldwide. Through its subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in the business of developing, acquiring, owning and operating independent electric power generation facilities. The Company's operating revenues are derived primarily from electric revenues and equity in income from energy projects. Operating revenues also include equity in income from oil and gas investments and revenue attributable to operation and maintenance services. Electric revenues are derived from consolidated results of operations of four international energy projects. Equity in income from energy projects primarily relates to the Company's ownership interest of 50% or less in domestic projects. The equity method of accounting is generally used to account for the operating results of entities over which a company has a significant influence but in which it does not have a controlling interest. With respect to entities accounted for under the equity method, the Company recognizes its proportional share of the income or loss of such entities. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- OPERATING REVENUES Operating revenues increased $76.1 million and $176.4 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 1995. Increases in both periods resulted primarily from higher electric revenues due to the acquisition of First Hydro in December 1995. In addition, Iberian Hy-Power contributed additional electric revenues as a result of the Company increasing its minority ownership percentage to 100% in January 1996. Both First Hydro and Iberian Hy-Power provide for higher electric revenues during the winter months. There were no comparable electric revenues for these projects included in the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses increased $50.5 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared to the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, operating expenses increased $102.1 million, compared with the corresponding period in 1995. The increases for both periods were principally due to higher fuel expense, plant operations and depreciation and amortization expense, resulting from the addition of operations related to First Hydro and Iberian Hy-Power. There were no comparable expenses for these projects included in the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Administrative and general expenses increased in the first six months of 1996, compared to the first six months of 1995 as a result of continued worldwide development and charges related to a voluntary retirement offer for non-union employees. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $20 million related to the sale in April 1996 of four operating geothermal facilities in the Imperial Valley, California, for a cash price of $70 million. CalEnergy Company, Inc., the Company's partner in these projects, purchased all the stock of four wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, which hold 50% interests in the Vulcan (34-MW), Andy Hoch (38-MW), Elmore (38-MW) and Leathers (38-MW) projects. There will be no impact on the Company s future revenues as the Company discontinued recognizing earnings from these projects in the third quarter of 1993. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased $12 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared with the corresponding period in 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased $27.2 million compared with the same prior year period. The increases for both periods were due primarily to the additional debt related to the First Hydro acquisition. Dividends on preferred securities increased $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 1995. Increases in both periods were due to the issuance of Series B preferred securities during the third quarter of 1995. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company recorded an effective tax provision rate of 42% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, compared with 30% for the same prior year period. The increase in the 1996 effective tax rate was primarily due to the acquisition of First Hydro. Earnings generated from the First Hydro project are subject to a higher effective tax rate than the federal statutory rate. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating activities increased to $138.4 million from $53.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The improvement primarily reflects higher net income and improved accounts receivable collections primarily attributable to First Hydro. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $19.9 million during the first six months of June 30, 1996, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $245.2 million during the same period in 1995. This change resulted primarily from a reduction in net issuances under the Company's $400 million revolving credit facility in 1996. In addition, the Company issued 400 million pounds sterling of 9% Guaranteed Secured Bonds (U.S. $603.8 million) in January 1996. The net proceeds received were used to repay the borrowings under the 400 million pound sterling (U.S. $603.8 million) credit facility entered into by First Hydro Finance in December 1995 in connection with the First Hydro acquisition. Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the first six months of 1996, compared with the same prior year period primarily due to the proceeds of $70 million received from the sale of four of the Company's operating geothermal facilities in April 1996 and a reduction in the amount of loans and contributions made to energy projects under development, partially offset by purchases of common stock of acquired companies of $29.7 million, primarily the remaining equity stake of Iberian Hy-Power. The Company invested $91.6 million in new plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $96.8 million during the same period in 1995. At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $147.1 million and had available $345 million of borrowing capacity under a $400 million revolving credit facility that expires in 1999. This borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility will be reduced by borrowings for firm commitments to contribute project equity and to fund construction costs of its project facilities.

The Company and its subsidiaries may incur additional obligations to make equity and other contributions to projects in the future. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity on both a short and long-term basis to fund pre-financing project development costs, make equity contributions to partnerships, pay corporate debt obligations and pay other administrative and general expenses as they are incurred from (1) distributions from energy projects and dividends from investments in oil and gas, (2) proceeds from the repayment of loans to energy projects, (3) funds available from the Company's revolving credit facility and (4) additional corporate borrowings. CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES, CHANGES IN ELECTRICITY POOL PRICING, AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS Changes in interest rates, changes in electricity pool pricing, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. Interest rate changes affect the cost of capital needed to construct and finance projects. The Company has mitigated the risk of interest rate fluctuations by arranging for fixed rate financing or variable rate financing with interest rate swaps or other hedging mechanisms for the majority of its project financings. Interest expense was increased by $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, as a result of interest rate hedging mechanisms. The Company has entered into several interest rate swap agreements whereby the maturity date of the swaps occurs prior to the final maturity of the underlying debt. The Company does not believe that interest rate fluctuations will have a materially adverse effect on financial position or results of operations. Projects in the U.K. sell their electrical energy and capacity through a centralized electricity pool, which establishes a half-hourly clearing price (also referred to as the pool price ). The half-hourly pool price is extremely volatile and can vary by as much as a factor of 10 or more over the course of a few hours, due to the large differentials in demand according to the time of day. First Hydro mitigates a portion of the market risk of the pool by entering into contracts for differences (electricity rate swap agreements), whereby First Hydro receives specified contracted amounts in exchange for making payments when pool selling prices rise above the prices specified in the contracts. These contracts act as a means of stabilizing production revenues by removing an element of net exposure to pool price volatility. First Hydro electric revenues were decreased by $1.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, as a result of electricity rate swap agreements. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect, on a U.S. dollar equivalent basis, the amount of the Company's equity contributions to, and distributions from, its foreign projects. As the Company continues to expand into foreign markets, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can be expected to have a greater impact on the Company's results of operations in the future. The Company has hedged a portion of its current exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates where it deems appropriate through offsetting obligations denominated in foreign currencies and indexing underlying project agreements to U.S. dollars or other indices reasonably expected to correlate with foreign exchange movements. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS OR REGULATIONS The Company is subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and foreign regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over projects located outside the United States. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with environmental regulatory requirements and that maintaining compliance with current requirements will not materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. The Company completed a review of some of its sites in 1995 and does not believe that a material liability exists as of June 30, 1996. The implementation of Clean Air Act Amendments is expected to result in increased operating expenses; however, these increased operating expenses, as well as any other potential environmental liability increase, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
