Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K 39 Signatures 40 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholder Salton Sea Funding Corporation Omaha, Nebraska We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of the Salton Sea Funding Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of the Salton Sea Funding Corporation as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 17, 2002 (March 1, 2002 as to Note 4), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Omaha, Nebraska August 2, 2002 SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION BALANCE SHEETS (Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts)

General: In the opinion of management of the Salton Sea Funding Corporation (the "Funding Corporation"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2002 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Funding Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year classifications. 2. Accounting Policies: On January 1, 2002, the Funding Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes the accounting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and provides goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Funding Corporation's related amortization consists solely of its share of the goodwill amortization at the Guarantors, which has no income tax effect. Following is a reconciliation of net loss as originally reported for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, to adjusted net loss (in thousands): Three Months Six months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 Reported net income (loss) $ (62) $ --- $ (69) $ (119) Goodwill amortization --- 14 --- 29 ______ _____ _____ _____ Adjusted net income (loss) $ (62) $ 14 $ (69) $ (90) ====== ===== ===== ===== In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Guarantors have determined their reporting units and completed their transitional impairment testing of goodwill in the second quarter primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology as of January 1, 2002. The results of the transitional impairment tests indicated potential goodwill impairment at the Salton Sea and Partnership Guarantors. The Guarantors will determine the potential impairment charge, if any, and record such charge in the financial statements no later than the period ending December 31, 2002. The impairment charge will be recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting as of January 1, 2002. In October 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. There was no financial statement impact as a result of the Funding Corporation's adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. 3. Contingency: Southern California Edison ("Edison"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, is a public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying electric energy to retail customers in Central and Southern California, excluding Los Angeles. Due to reduced liquidity, Edison failed to pay approximately $119 million owed under the power purchase agreements with certain Guarantors (Imperial Valley Projects, excluding the Salton Sea V and Turbo Projects) for power delivered in the fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001. Due to Edison's failure to pay contractual obligations, the Guarantors had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $21.0 million as of December 31, 2001. The payment was received March 1, 2002. Following the receipt of Edison's final payment of past due balances, the Guarantors released the remaining allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of uncertainties related to Edison, the letter of credit that supports the debt service reserve fund at the Funding Corporation has not been extended beyond its current July 2004 expiration date, and as such cash distributions are not available to CE Generation, LLC until the Funding Corporation debt service reserve fund of approximately $67.6 million has been funded or the letter of credit has been extended beyond its July 2004 expiration date or replaced. In January 2001, the California Power Exchange ("PX") declared bankruptcy. As a result, the Salton Sea V and Turbo Projects have not received payment for power sold under the Transaction Agreements during December 2000 and January 2001 of approximately $3.8 million. The Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts for the full amount of this receivable. Edison has failed to pay approximately $3.9 million of capacity bonus payments for the months from October 2001 through May 2002. On December 10, 2001 certain Guarantors filed a lawsuit against Edison in California's Imperial County Superior Court seeking a court order requiring Edison to make the required capacity bonus payments under the Power Purchase Agreements. The Project entities will vigorously pursue collection of the capacity bonus payments. However, due to Edison's failure to pay the contractual obligations, certain Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.3 million as of June 30, 2002. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholder Magma Power Company Omaha, Nebraska We have reviewed the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Salton Sea Guarantors as of June 30, 2002, and the related combined statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The unaudited combined financial statements shall be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements included in the Funding Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with current year classification. 2. Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 2001, the Guarantors changed their accounting policy for overhaul and well workover costs. These costs, had historically been accounted for using the deferral method, and are now expensed as incurred. The Guarantors have recorded a cumulative effect of this change of approximately $8.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. On January 1, 2002, the Guarantors adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes the accounting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, and provides goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Guarantor's related amortization consists solely of goodwill amortization. Following is a reconciliation of net income as originally reported for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, to adjusted net income (loss) (in thousands): Three Months Six months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 Reported net income (loss) $ (12,199) $ (822) $ (9,691) $ 1,040 Goodwill amortization --- 326 --- 652 _____ _____ _____ _____ Adjusted net income (loss) $ (12,199) $ (496) $ (9,691) $ 1,692 ===== ===== ===== ===== The Guarantors' acquired intangible assets consists of power purchase contracts (the "contracts") with a cost of $7.9 million and accumulated amortization of $3.0 million at June 30, 2002, and are included in property, plant, contracts and equipment in the accompanying combined balance sheet. Amortization expense on the contracts was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Guarantors expect amortization expense on the contracts to be $.2 million for the remainder of fiscal 2002 and $.3 million for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Guarantors have determined their reporting units and completed their transitional impairment testing of goodwill in the second quarter primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology as of January 1, 2002. The results of the transitional impairment tests indicated potential goodwill impairment at the Guarantors. The Guarantors will determine the potential impairment charge, if any, and record such charge in the financial statements no later than the period ending December 31, 2002. The impairment charge will be recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting as of January 1, 2002. August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Guarantors' fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. The Guarantors have not quantified the impact resulting from the adoption of this standard. In October 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. There was no financial statement impact as a result of the Guarantors' adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. 3. Contingency: A. Southern California Edison Southern California Edison ("Edison"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, is a public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying electric energy to retail customers in Central and Southern California, excluding Los Angeles. Due to reduced liquidity, Edison failed to pay approximately $42.3 million owed under the power purchase agreements with certain Guarantors (excluding the Salton Sea V Project) for power delivered in the fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001. Due to Edison's failure to pay contractual obligations, the Guarantors had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $6.8 million as of December 31, 2001. The payment was received March 1, 2002. Following the receipt of Edison's final payment of past due balances, the Guarantors released the remaining allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of uncertainties related to Edison, the letter of credit that supports the debt service reserve fund at Salton Sea Funding Corporation has not been extended beyond its current July 2004 expiration date, and as such, cash distributions are not available to CE Generation, LLC until the Salton Sea Funding Corporation debt service reserve fund of approximately $67.6 million has been funded or the letter of credit has been extended beyond its July 2004 expiration date or replaced. In January 2001, the California Power Exchange ("PX") declared bankruptcy. As a result, the Salton Sea V Project has not received payment for power sold under the Transaction Agreements during December 2000 and January 2001 of approximately $3.0 million. The Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts for the full amount of this receivable. Edison has failed to pay approximately $1.1 million of capacity bonus payments for the months from October 2001 through May 2002. On December 10, 2001 certain Guarantors (except the Salton Sea V Project) filed a lawsuit against Edison in California's Imperial County Superior Court seeking a court order requiring Edison to make the required capacity bonus payments under the Power Purchase Agreements. The Guarantors will vigorously pursue collection of the capacity bonus payments. However, due to Edison's failure to pay these contractual obligations, the Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $.4 million. B. Environmental Liabilities The Guarantors are subject to numerous legislative and regulatory environmental protection requirements involving air and water pollution, waste management, hazardous chemical use, noise abatement, and land use aesthetics. State and federal environmental laws and regulations currently have, and future modifications may have, the effect of (i) increasing the lead time for the construction of new facilities, (ii) significantly increasing the total cost of new facilities, (iii) requiring modification of the Guarantors' existing facilities, (iv) increasing the risk of delay on construction projects, (v) increasing the Guarantors' cost of waste disposal and (vi) reducing the reliability of service provided by the Guarantors and the amount of energy available from the Guarantors' facilities. Any of such items could have a substantial impact on amounts required to be expended by the Guarantors in the future. Expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of the liability are based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations taking into consideration the likely effects of inflation and other social and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating sites, other companies' clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. These estimated liabilities are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances, and are included in the accompanying balance sheets at their undiscounted amounts. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet were not material. 4. Related Party Transactions On September 29, 2000, Salton Sea Power L.L.C. ("Salton Sea Power") entered into an agreement to sell all available power from the Salton Sea V Project to El Paso Merchant Energy Company ("EPME"). Under the terms of the agreement, EPME purchased and sold available power on behalf of Salton Sea Power, into the California ISO markets. The purchase price for the available power was equivalent to the value actually received by EPME for the sale of such power, including renewable premiums. On January 17, 2001, Salton Sea Power entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power from the Salton Sea V Project to EPME. Under the terms of the agreement, at the option of Salton Sea Power, EPME purchased all available power from the Salton Sea V Project based on day ahead price quotes received from EPME. On March 27, 2001 and May 1, 2001, the Guarantors entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power to EPME based on percentages of the Dow Jones SP-15 Index. On June 28, 2001, the Guarantors (excluding the Salton Sea V Project) ceased selling available power to EPME and resumed power sales to Edison. Pursuant to these agreements, sales to EPME from the Guarantors totaled $.7 million and $39.2 million for the three-months and $2.9 million and $48.8 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accounts receivable from EPME were $.4 million and $.8 million, respectively.

On December 10, 2001 certain Guarantors (excluding the Turbo Project) filed a lawsuit against Edison in California's Imperial County Superior Court seeking a court order requiring Edison to make the required capacity bonus payments under the Power Purchase Agreements. The Guarantors will vigorously pursue collection of the capacity bonus payments. However, due to Edison's failure to pay these contractual obligations, the Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $.9 million. B. Minerals The Zinc Recovery Project was being constructed by Kvaerner U.S. Inc. ("Kvaerner") pursuant to a date certain, fixed-price, turnkey engineering, procure, construct and manage contract (the "Zinc Recovery Project EPC Contract"). On June 14, 2001, Minerals LLC issued notices of default, termination and demand for payment of damages to Kvaerner under the Zinc Recovery Project EPC Contract due to failure to meet performance obligations. As a result of Kvaerner's default under the Zinc Recovery EPC Contract, the Guarantors drew $29.6 million under the EPC Contract Letter of Credit ("LOC") on July 20, 2001 and claimed the retainage and balance of the contract price. The LOC draw, retainage and balance of the contract price have been accounted for as a reduction of the capitalized costs of the project. The Guarantors have entered into a time and materials engineering, procurement and construction management contract with AMEC E&C Services, Inc. to complete the Zinc Recovery Project. On July 11, 2001, Kvaerner filed an Amended Demand For Arbitration against Minerals LLC characterizing the nature of the dispute as concerns regarding change orders and performance penalties. Kvaerner did not state the amount of its claim. On August 7, 2001, Minerals LLC filed an Answering Statement and Counterclaim against Kvaerner. Minerals LLC denied all material allegations in Kvaerner's Amended Demand for Arbitration, and asserted a counterclaim against Kvaerner for breach of contract and specific performance. Minerals LLC alleged that its total estimated damage for Kvaerner's breach of contract are in excess of approximately $60 million; however, Minerals LLC has offset approximately $42.5 million of these damages by exercising its rights under the EPC Contract to claim the balance of the contract price, the retainage and by drawing on the LOC. On May 23, 2002, Minerals LLC and Kvaerner entered into a Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Minerals retained the amounts drawn under the LOC, the EPC retainage amounts and the EPC contract balance and will pay to Kvaerner three equal installments of $2.25 million payable in January of 2003, 2004 and 2005. C. Environmental Liabilities The Guarantors are subject to numerous legislative and regulatory environmental protection requirements involving air and water pollution, waste management, hazardous chemical use, noise abatement, and land use aesthetics. State and federal environmental laws and regulations currently have, and future modifications may have, the effect of (i) increasing the lead time for the construction of new facilities, (ii) significantly increasing the total cost of new facilities, (iii) requiring modification of the Guarantors' existing facilities, (iv) increasing the risk of delay on construction projects, (v) increasing the Guarantors' cost of waste disposal and (vi) reducing the reliability of service provided by the Guarantors and the amount of energy available from the Guarantors' facilities. Any of such items could have a substantial impact on amounts required to be expended by the Guarantors in the future. Expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of the liability are based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations taking into consideration the likely effects of inflation and other social and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating sites, other companies' clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. These estimated liabilities are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances, and are included in the accompanying balance sheets at their undiscounted amounts. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet were not material. 4. Related Party Transactions On September 29, 2000, CE Turbo LLC ("CE Turbo") entered into an agreement to sell all available power from the Turbo Project to EPME. Under the terms of the agreement, EPME purchased and sold available power on behalf of CE Turbo, into the California ISO markets. The purchase price for the available power was equivalent to the value actually received by EPME for the sale of such power, including renewable premiums. On January 17, 2001, CE Turbo entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power from the Turbo Project to EPME. Under the terms of the agreement, at the option of CE Turbo, EPME purchased all available power from the Turbo Project based on day ahead price quotes received from EPME. On March 27, 2001 and May 1, 2001, the Guarantors entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power to EPME based on percentages of the Dow Jones SP-15 Index. On June 28, 2001, the Guarantors (excluding the Turbo Project) ceased selling available power to EPME and resumed power sales to Edison. Pursuant to these agreements, sales to EPME from the Company totaled $.2 million and $30.8 million for the three-months and $.6 million and $49.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accounts receivable from EPME were $.5 million and $.1 million, respectively. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholder Magma Power Company Omaha, Nebraska We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of the Salton Sea Royalty LLC as of June 30, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Salton Sea Royalty LLC's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of the Salton Sea Royalty LLC as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 17, 2002 (March 1, 2002 as to Note 5), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Omaha, Nebraska August 2, 2002 SALTON SEA ROYALTY LLC BALANCE SHEETS (Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts)

SALTON SEA ROYALTY LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ____________________ 1. General: In the opinion of management of Salton Sea Royalty LLC (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2002 and the results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited financial statements shall be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Funding Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. 2. Accounting Policies: On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which establishes the accounting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and provides goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company's related amortization consists soley of goodwill amortization. Following is a reconciliation of net income as originally reported for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, to adjusted net income (in thousands): Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 Reported net income $ 1,726 $ 1,072 $ 4,013 $ 2,992 Goodwill amortization --- 227 --- 454 ________ ______ _______ _______ Adjusted net income $ 1,726 $ 1,299 $ 4,013 $ 3,446 ======== ====== ======= ======= The Company's acquired intangible assets consist of the royalty stream with a cost of $60.5 million and accumulated amortization of $46 million at June 30, 2002. Amortization expense on the royalty stream was $0.4 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2002. The Company expects amortization expense on the royalty stream to be $0.4 million for the remainder of fiscal 2002 and $0.9 million for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company has determined its reporting units and completed the transitional impairment testing of goodwill in the second quarter primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology as of January 1, 2002. No impairment was indicated as a result of the transitional impairment test. 3. Contingency: Southern California Edison ("Edison"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, is a public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying electric energy to retail customers in Central and Southern California, excluding Los Angeles. Due to reduced liquidity, Edison failed to pay approximately $119 million owed under the power purchase agreements with certain Guarantors (Imperial Valley Projects, excluding the Salton Sea V and Turbo Projects) for power delivered in the fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001. Due to Edison's failure to pay contractual obligations, the Guarantors had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $21.0 million as of December 31, 2001. The payment was received March 1, 2002. Following the receipt of Edison's final payment of past due balances, the Guarantors released the remaining allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of uncertainties related to Edison, the letter of credit that supports the debt service reserve fund at Salton Sea Funding Corporation has not been extended beyond its current July 2004 expiration date, and as such cash distributions are not available to CE Generation until the Salton Sea Funding Corporation debt service reserve fund of approximately $67.6 million has been funded or the letter of credit has been extended beyond its July 2004 expiration date or replaced. THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS _________________________________ Forward-Looking Statements Certain information included in this report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Reform Act"). Such statements are based on current expectations and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results and performance of the Company to differ materially from any expected future results or performance, expressed or implied, by the forward-looking statements. In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Reform Act, the Company has identified important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations, including development and construction uncertainty, operating uncertainty, acquisition uncertainty, uncertainties relating to geothermal resources, uncertainties relating to economic and political conditions and uncertainties regarding the impact of regulations, changes in government policy, industry deregulation and competition. Reference is made to all of the Company's SEC filings, incorporated herein by reference, for a description of such factors. The Company assumes no responsibility to update forward-looking information contained herein. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 2 to the Combined Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Combined Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Combined Financial Statements. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Guarantors' assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer's credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the Guarantors' historical experience, estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be adversely affected. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Guarantors' long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets with useful lives, which range from 3 to 40 years. The Guarantors believe the useful lives of its long-lived assets are reasonable. The Guarantors evaluate goodwill impairment on an annual basis. The Guarantors evaluate the long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Triggering events include a significant change in the extent or manner in which long-lived assets are being used or in its physical condition, in legal factors, or in the business climate that could affect the value of the long-lived assets, including changes in regulation. The interpretation of such events requires judgment from management as to whether such an event has occurred and is required. If an event occurs that could affect the carrying value of the asset and management does not identify it as a triggering event, future results of operations could be significantly affected. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is reviewed to assess whether the recoverable amount has declined below its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the estimated net future cash flows that the Guarantors expect to recover from the future use of the asset, undiscounted and without interest, plus the asset's residual value on disposal. Where the recoverable amount of the long-lived asset is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its fair value which is based on discounted estimated cash flows from the future use of the asset. The estimated cash flows arising from future use of the asset that are used in the impairment analysis requires judgment regarding what the Guarantors would expect to recover from future use of the asset. Any changes in the estimates of cash flows arising from future use of the asset or the residual value of the asset on disposal based on changes in the market conditions, changes in the use of the assets, management's plans, the determination of the useful life of the assets and technology change in the industry could significantly change the calculation of the fair value or recoverable amount of the asset and the resulting impairment loss, which could significantly affect the results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Guarantors have determined their reporting units and completed their transitional impairment testing of goodwill in the second quarter primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology as of January 1, 2002. The results of the transitional impairment tests indicated potential goodwill impairment at the Salton Sea and Partnership Guarantors. The Guarantors will determine the potential impairment charge, if any, and record such charge in the financial statements no later than the period ending December 31, 2002. The impairment charge will be recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting as of January 1, 2002. Contingent Liabilities The Guarantors are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies, including tax, legal and environmental, arising in the ordinary course of business. The Guarantors consider the likelihood of the loss or the incurrence of a liability as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Guarantors regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted. Results of Operations The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors, which have affected the Salton Sea Funding Corporation's (the "Funding Corporation"), Salton Sea Guarantors', the Partnership Guarantors' and the Salton Sea Royalty LLC's (collectively, the "Guarantors") financial condition and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying statements of operations. Revenues: The Salton Sea Guarantors' sales of electricity decreased to $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $22.9 million for the same period in 2001, a 29.7% decrease. This decrease was due to lower production and rates in 2002, and a $.9 million write-off related to prior year accounts receivables. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 sales of electricity decreased to $39.5 million from $55.0 million for the same period in 2001, a 28.2% decrease. Sales of electricity for the six-months ended June 30, 2002 included the impact of a $6.8 million reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Sales of electricity for the six months ended June 30, 2001 included the impact of a $12.5 million increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Excluding the impact of the adjustments related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales of electricity decreased $34.3 million or 51.2% to $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $67.0 million for the six-months June 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to lower rates and production in 2002. The following data includes the aggregate capacity and electricity production of the Salton Sea Guarantors: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 Overall capacity factor 63.2% 75.8% 76.2% 79.9% Capacity (NMW) (average) 168.4 168.4 168.4 168.4 kWh produced (in thousands) 232,400 278,900 557,200 584,700 The overall capacity factor for the Salton Sea Guarantors decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to overhauls and other maintenance. The 2002 overhauls include an uncontrollable force event at the Salton Sea II Project. Salton Sea II's 10 MW turbine went out of service on March 25th and is expected to be placed back into service in December. The Guarantors expect to collect lost revenues under the Salton Sea II PPA and through insurance coverage excluding deductibles. The Partnership Guarantors' sales of electricity increased to $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $20.1 million for the same period in 2001, a 1.0% increase. This increase was due to higher production offset by lower rates in 2002 and a write off related to prior year accounts receivable. For the six-months ended June 30, 2002 sales of electricity decreased to $42.5 million from $43.6 million for the same period in 2001, a 2.5% decrease. Sales of electricity for the six months ended June 30, 2002 included the impact of $14.1 million reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Sales of electricity for the six months ended June 30, 2001 included the impact of a $28.9 million increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Excluding the impact of the adjustments related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales of electricity decreased $44.1 million or 60.8% to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $72.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was due to lower rates and decreased production from scheduled overhauls. The following data includes the aggregate capacity and electricity production of the Partnership Guarantors:

The overall capacity factor for the Partnership Guarantors increased for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to higher plant availability. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 2001 was due to scheduled overhauls in 2002. As a result of the Settlement Agreements, Edison has elected to pay the Guarantors (except Salton Sea Projects IV and V and the Turbo Project) a fixed energy price in lieu of Edison's Average Avoided Cost of Energy. The fixed energy price was 3.25 cents/per kilowatt-hour from January through April 30, 2002 and increased to 5.37 cents/per kilowatt hour effective May 1, 2002 through April 30, 2007. Edison's Average Avoided Cost of Energy was 8.1 cents per kilowatt-hour for the three months and 11.6 cents per kilowatt-hour for the six-months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The Royalty Guarantor revenue increased to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.4 million for the same period last year. The increase relates to higher royalties based on higher revenue at the Partnership Guarantor. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 revenue increased to $6.2 million from $5.8 million for the same period in 2001. The increase relates to additional royalties recognized on the past due interest payments from Edison. Operating Expenses: The Salton Sea Guarantors' operating expenses, which include royalty, operating, and general and administrative expenses, increased to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $14.2 million for the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 operating expenses increased to $28.3 million from $27.6 million for the same period in 2001. The increases were due to higher costs from an overhaul offset by lower royalty expenses of approximately $.5 million resulting from lower revenues. The Partnership Guarantors' operating expenses, which include royalty, operating, and general and administrative expenses, increased to $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $12.3 million for the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 operating expenses increased to $32.7 million from $26.7 million for the same period in 2001. The increases were due to higher overhaul costs in 2002. The Royalty Guarantors' operating expenses decreased to $.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $.7 million for the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 operating expenses increased to $1.6 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was due to higher royalty costs resulting from higher revenue. Depreciation and Amortization: The Salton Sea Guarantors' depreciation and amortization increased to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $4.6 million for the same period of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 depreciation and amortization increased to $11.0 million from $9.0 million for the same period in 2001. These increases were due to significant capital additions and the write off of an abandoned project, partially offset by the discontinuation of goodwill amortization in 2002 of $ 0.7 million. The Partnership Guarantors' depreciation and amortization decreased to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $6.9 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization in 2002 of $.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 depreciation and amortization increased to $12.2 million from $12.0 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was due primarily to capital additions, partially offset by the discontinuation of goodwill amortization in 2002 of $1.8 million. The Royalty Guarantors' amortization decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $.5 million for the same period of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, amortization decreased to $.4 million from $1.0 million for the same period in 2001. The decreases were due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization in 2002. Interest Expense: The Salton Sea Guarantors' interest expense, decreased to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.8 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was due to reduced indebtedness. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, amounts increased to $10.3 million from $9.6 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was due to the discontinuation of capitalized interest on the minerals extraction process partially offset by reduced indebtedness. The Partnership Guarantors' interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, decreased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.1 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was due to reduced indebtedness. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, increased to $3.8 million from $2.1 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was due to discontinuation of capitalized interest on the minerals extraction process. The Royalty Guarantors' interest expense decreased to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $0.2 million from the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 interest expense decreased to $.2 million from $.3 million from the same period in 2001. The decrease was due to reduced indebtedness. Income Tax Provision: The Partnership Guarantors' income tax benefit increased to $.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from a benefit of $.1 million for the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 the income tax provision decreased to a benefit of $1.7 million from an expense of $1.3 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a lower pre-tax income. Income taxes will be paid by the parent of the Guarantors from distributions to the parent company by the Guarantors, which occur after operating expenses and debt service. The effective tax rate was 31.5% and 34.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cumulative Effect of Accounting Policy Change: On January 1, 2001, the Guarantors changed their policy of accounting for the overhaul and well workover costs. These costs, which have historically been accounted for using the deferral method, are expensed as incurred. The Salton Sea Guarantors recorded a cumulative effect of $8.7 million. The Partnership Guarantors recorded a cumulative effect of $8.3 million, net of tax of $4.3 million. Related Party Transactions On September 29, 2000, Salton Sea Power L.L.C. ("Salton Sea Power") and CE Turbo LLC ("CE Turbo") entered into an agreement to sell all available power from the Salton Sea V Project and Turbo Project to EPME. Under the terms of the agreement, EPME purchased and sold available power on behalf of Salton Sea Power and CE Turbo, into the California ISO markets. The purchase price for the available power was equivalent to the value actually received by EPME for the sale of such power, including renewable premiums. On January 17, 2001, Salton Sea Power and CE Turbo entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power from the Salton Sea V Project and Turbo Project to EPME. Under the terms of the agreement, at the option of Salton Sea Power and CE Turbo, EPME purchased all available power from the Salton Sea V Project and Turbo Project based on day ahead price quotes received from EPME. On March 27, 2001 and May 1, 2001, the Imperial Valley Projects entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell available power to EPME based on percentages of the Dow Jones SP-15 Index. On June 28, 2001, the Imperial Valley Projects (excluding the Salton Sea V Project and Turbo Project) ceased selling available power to EPME and resumed power sales to Edison. Pursuant to these agreements, sales to EPME from the Company totaled $.9 million and $70.1 million for the three months and $3.5 million and $98.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accounts receivable from EPME were $.5 million and $.9 million, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Salton Sea Guarantors' cash flows from operating activities increased to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $9.1 million for the same period in 2001. The operating Salton Sea Guarantors' only source of revenue is payments received pursuant to long-term power sales agreements with Edison, other than Salton Sea V Project revenue and interest earned on funds on deposit. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of past due balances from Edison offset by lower revenues and higher operation and maintenance payments in 2002. The Partnership Guarantors' cash flows from operating activities increased to $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from a net cash use of $1.9 million for the same period in 2001. The operating Partnership Guarantors' primary source of revenue is payments received pursuant to long term power sales agreements with Edison, other than Turbo Project and Zinc Recovery Project revenue and interest earned on funds on deposit. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of past due balances from Edison. The Royalty Guarantors' cash flow from operations was $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $4.0 million for the same period in 2001. The Royalty Guarantors' only source of revenue is royalties received pursuant to resource lease agreements with the Partnership Projects. Edison, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, is a public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying electric energy to retail customers in Central and Southern California, excluding Los Angeles. Due to reduced liquidity, Edison failed to pay approximately $119 million owed under the power purchase agreements with certain Guarantors (Imperial Valley Projects, excluding the Salton Sea V and Turbo Projects) for power delivered in the fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001. Due to Edison's failure to pay contractual obligations, the Guarantors had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $21.0 million as of December 31, 2001. The payment was received March 1, 2002. Following the receipt of Edison's final payment of past due balances, the Guarantors released the remaining allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of uncertainties related to Edison, the letter of credit that supports the debt service reserve fund at Salton Sea Funding Corporation has not been extended beyond its current July 2004 expiration date, and as such cash distributions are not available to CE Generation until the Salton Sea Funding Corporation debt service reserve fund of approximately $67.6 million has been funded or the letter of credit has been extended beyond its July 2004 expiration date or replaced. In January 2001, the California Power Exchange ("PX") declared bankruptcy. As a result, the Salton Sea V and Turbo Projects have not received payment for power sold under the Transaction Agreements during December 2000 and January 2001 of approximately $3.8 million. The Guarantors have established an allowance for doubtful accounts for the full amount of this receivable. Edison has failed to pay approximately $3.9 million of capacity bonus payments for the months from October 2001 through May 2002. On December 10, 2001 certain Guarantors filed a lawsuit against Edison in California's Imperial County Superior Court seeking a court order requiring Edison to make the required capacity bonus payments under the Power Purchase Agreements. The Guarantors are vigorously pursuing collection of the capacity bonus payments. However, due to Edison's failure to pay the contractual obligations, the Imperial Valley Projects have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.3 million. The Salton Sea Guarantors' cash flow used in investing activities increased to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2001. Capital expenditures are the primary component of investing activities. The Partnership Guarantors' cash flow used in investing activities increased to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $18.2 million for the same period in 2001. Capital expenditures are the primary component of investing activities. Minerals LLC is constructing the Zinc Recovery Project, which will recover zinc from the geothermal brine (the "Zinc Recovery Project"). Facilities are being installed near the sites of the Imperial Valley Projects to extract a zinc chloride solution from the geothermal brine through an ion exchange process. This solution will be transported to a central processing plant where zinc ingots will be produced through solvent extraction, electrowinning and casting processes. The Zinc Recovery Project is designed to have a capacity of approximately 30,000 metric tonnes per year and is scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2002. In September 1999, Minerals LLC entered into a sales agreement whereby all high-grade zinc produced by the Zinc Recovery Project will be sold to Cominco, Ltd. The initial term of the agreement expires in December 2005. Total project costs of the Zinc Recovery Project are expected to be approximately $217.9 million, net of funds received in connection with the settlement of disputes with Kvaerner U.S. Inc (Kvaerner), which is being funded by $140.5 million of debt and the balance from equity contributions. The Zinc Recovery Project has incurred $187.0 million, net of the funds received in connection with the settlement with Kvaerner, of such costs through June 30, 2002. The Zinc Recovery Project was being constructed by Kvaerner pursuant to a date certain, fixed-price, turnkey engineering, procure, construct and manage contract (the "Zinc Recovery Project EPC Contract"). On June 14, 2001, Minerals LLC issued notices of default, termination and demand for payment of damages to Kvaerner under the Zinc Recovery Project EPC Contract due to failure to meet performance obligations. As a result of Kvaerner's default under the Zinc Recovery EPC Contract, the Partnership Guarantors claimed the balance of the contract price, the retainage and drew $29.6 million under the EPC Contract Letter of Credit on July 20, 2001. The Partnership Guarantors have entered into a time and materials reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management contract with AMEC E&C Services, Inc. to complete the Zinc Recovery Project. Salton Sea Funding Corporation's net cash flows from financing activities decreased to a net cash use of $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from a net cash flow of $9.4 million for the same period in 2001. Salton Sea Guarantors' net cash flows used in financing activities increased to $12.6 million from $5.8 million for the same period in 2001. Partnership Guarantors' net cash used in financing activities increased to $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from a net cash provided of $20.1 million for the same period in 2001. The changes in net cash flows from financing activities are primarily the result of the funding of the debt service reserve fund and debt repayments. These receipts were deposited into cash accounts at Salton Sea Funding Corporation and are recorded as amounts due to the Salton Sea and Partnership Guarantors. Environmental Liabilities The Guarantors are subject to numerous legislative and regulatory environmental protection requirements involving air and water pollution, waste management, hazardous chemical use, noise abatement and land use aesthetics. State and federal environmental laws and regulations currently have, and future modifications may have, the effect of (i) increasing the lead time for the construction of new facilities, (ii) significantly increasing the total cost of new facilities, (iii) requiring modification of the Guarantors' existing facilities, (iv) increasing the risk of delay on construction projects, (v) increasing the Guarantors' cost of waste disposal and (vi) reducing the reliability of service provided by the Guarantors and the amount of energy available from the Guarantors' facilities. Any of such items could have a substantial impact on amounts required to be expended by the Guarantors in the future. Expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of the liability are based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations taking into consideration the likely effects of inflation and other social and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating sites, other companies' clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. These estimated liabilities are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances, and are included in the accompanying balance sheets at their undiscounted amounts. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Guarantors' environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet were not material. Inflation Inflation has not had a significant Impact on the Guarantors' cost structure.
