Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS: Indiantown Cogeneration, L.P. (the
"Partnership") is a special purpose Delaware limited partnership
formed on October 4, 1991. The general partners are Toyan
Enterprises ("Toyan"), a California corporation and a special
purpose indirect subsidiary of PG&E Enterprises, and Palm Power
Corporation ("Palm"), a Delaware corporation and a special
purpose indirect subsidiary of Bechtel Enterprises,
Inc.("Bechtel Enterprises"). The sole limited partner is TIFD
III-Y, Inc. ("TIFD"), a special purpose indirect subsidiary of
General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"). During 1994, the
Partnership formed its sole, wholly owned subsidiary, Indiantown
Cogeneration Funding Corporation ("ICL Funding"), to act as
agent for, and co-issuer with, the Partnership in accordance
with the 1994 bond offering discussed in Note 4. ICL Funding
has no separate operations and has only $100 in assets and
capitalization.
The Partnership was formed to develop, construct, and operate an
approximately 330 megawatt (net) pulverized coal-fired cogeneration
facility (the "Facility") located on an approximately 240 acre site
in southwestern Martin County, Florida. The Facility was designed
to produce electricity for sale to Florida Power & Light Company
("FPL") and will also supply steam to Caulkins Indiantown Citrus Co.
("Caulkins") for its plant located near the Facility.
The Partnership was in the development stage through December
21, 1995 and commenced commercial operations on December 22, 1995
(the "Commercial Operation Date"). The Partnership's continued
existence is dependent on the ability of the Partnership to sustain
successful operations. Management of the Partnership is of the
opinion that the assets of the Partnership are realizable at their
current carrying value.
The net profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated to
Toyan, Palm and TIFD (collectively, the "Partners") based on the
following ownership percentages:
Toyan 48% Palm 12% TIFD 40%
All distributions other than liquidating distributions will be
made based on the Partners' percentage interest as shown above, in
accordance with the project documents and at such times and in such
amounts as the Board of Control of the Partnership determines. The
Partners contributed, pursuant to an equity commitment agreement,
approximately $140,000,000 of equity when commercial operation of
the Facility commenced in December 1995.
2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 1997, and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the three months ended on March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, have been prepared by the Partnership,
without audit and in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, these financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of
March 31, 1997, results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
The financial statements and related notes contained herein
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Investments Held by Trustee The investments held by trustee
represent bond and equity proceeds and revenue funds held by a
bond trustee/disbursement agent and are carried at cost which
approximates market. The proceeds include $12,501,000 of
restricted tax-exempt debt service reserve required by the
financing documents. The Partnership also maintains restricted
investments in an amount equal to the amount of accrued
principal and interest payables. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at actual cost.
Substantially all property, plant and equipment consist of the
Facility, which is depreciated on a straight- line basis over
the useful life of the Facility, estimated to be 35 years.
Other property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated economic or service lives of the
respective assets (ranging from three to ten years). Routine
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
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"). SFAS No. 121, which was adopted for
the Partnership's 1996 annual financial statements, establishes
criteria for recognizing and measuring impairment losses when
recovery of recorded long-lived asset values is uncertain. Adoption
of this pronouncement has not impacted the Partnership's financial
condition or results of operations.
Equity Contribution Agreement Pursuant to an Equity Contribution
Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1994, between TIFD and
NationsBank of Florida, N.A. (succeeded by The Bank of New York
Trust Company of Florida, N.A.) (the "Trustee"), the Partners
contributed approximately $140,000,000 of equity on December 26,
1995. Proceeds were used to repay the $139,000,000 outstanding
under the Equity Loan Agreement. The remaining $1,000,000 was
deposited with the Trustee according to a disbursement agreement
among the Partnership, the Trustee and the other lenders and is
included in investments held by trustee in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996.
3. DEPOSITS: In 1991, in accordance with a contract between the
Partnership and Martin County, the Partnership provided Martin
County with a security deposit in the amount of $149,357 to
secure installation and maintenance of required landscaping
materials. This amount is included in current assets as of
December 31, 1996. The landscaping has been completed and the
Partnership has applied to the County for a return of funds in
excess of the required deposit as security for the first year
maintenance.
In 1991, in accordance with the Planned Unit Development Zoning
Agreement between the Partnership and Martin County, the Partnership
deposited $1,000,000 in trust with the Board of County Commissioners
of Martin County (the "PUD Trustee"). Income from this trust will
be used solely for projects benefiting the community of Indiantown.
On July 23, 2025, the PUD Trustee is required to return the deposit
to the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, the estimated present
value of this deposit of approximately $60,000 has been included in
deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. The remaining balance
has been included in property plant, and equipment as part of total
construction expenses.
4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair
values of the Partnership's financial instruments at March 31, 1997.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", defines the fair market
value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties.
Carrying Amount Fair Value
Financial Liabilities
Tax-Exempt Bonds $125,010,000 $139,767,346
Taxable Bonds $500,603,000 $543,780,449
For the Tax Exempt Bonds and First Mortgage Bonds, the fair values
of the Partnership's bonds payable are based on the stated rates
of the Tax Exempt Bonds and First Mortgage Bonds and current
market interest rates to estimate market values for the Tax
Exempt Bonds and the First Mortgage Bonds.
The carrying amounts of the Partnership's cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, prepaid expenses,
investments held by trustee, accounts payable, accrued liabilities
and accrued interest approximate fair value because of the short
maturities of these instruments.
Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Partnership and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this report.
General
The Partnership is primarily engaged in the ownership and
operation of a non- utility electric generating facility. Since its
inception, and until December 21, 1995, the Partnership was in the
development stage and had no operating revenues or expenses. On
December 22, 1995 the Facility commenced commercial operation. As
of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $679 million of
property, plant and equipment consisting primarily of purchased
equipment, construction-related labor and materials, interest during
construction, financing costs and other costs directly associated
with the construction of the Facility. For the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the Partnership had total operating revenues of
approximately $37.5 million, total operating costs of $19.9 million,
and total net interest expenses of approximately $13.6 million
resulting in net income of approximately $3.95 million.
The Partnership has obtained all material environmental permits
and approvals required as of March 31, 1997 for the operation of the
Facility. Certain of such permits and approvals are subject to
periodic renewal. Certain additional permits and approvals will be
required in the future for the continued operation of the Facility.
The Partnership is not presently aware of any technical
circumstances that would prevent the issuance of such permits and
approvals or the renewal of currently existing permits. The
Partnership filed its application for a Title V air permit on May
24, 1996. A permit is expected within the next two years.
On September 9, 1994, Costain Group PLC, parent company of
Costain Coal, Inc. ("Costain Coal"), the Facility's primary fuel
supplier, announced that it was proceeding with the sale of its U.S.
coal assets. On March 17, 1997, Costain Group PLC announced that it
completed the sale of Costain Coal to Rencoal Inc. for $44.7
million. Costain Coal will remain obligated under the Coal Purchase
Agreement and the coal will be supplied from the same coal reserves
which remain with Costain Coal. In light of the terms of the Coal
Purchase Agreement compared with similar coal supply and ash
disposal agreements which the Partnership believes are currently
obtainable in the market, the Partnership currently does not believe
that the sale of Costain Coal will have an adverse effect on the
Partnership's ability to arrange for coal supply and ash disposal
services.
Results of Operations
For the three months ending March 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Facility achieved an average Capacity Billing Factor of 95.38% and
96.67%, respectively. This resulted in earning full monthly
capacity payments aggregating $27.9 million, for both periods and
bonuses aggregating $1.9 and $1.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Capacity Billing Factor
measures the overall availability of the Facility, but gives a
heavier weighting to on-peak availability. During the three months
ended March 31, 1997, the Facility was dispatched by FPL and
generated 330,586 megawatt-hours compared with 372,986
megawatt-hours during the same period in 1996. The 42,400
megawatt-hour decrease was primarily due to lower dispatch levels by
FPL primarily driven by mild weather. The monthly dispatch rate for
the first quarter of 1997 ranged from 44% to 72%, as compared to a
range of 64% to 78% for the corresponding period in 1996. The
difference is primarily attributable to lower dispatch levels by
FPL.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
approximately $3.95 million which is comparable to the net income of
approximately $4.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior
year.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership had
total operating revenues of approximately $37.5 million as compared
to $38.8 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
The $1.3 million decrease in operating revenue is primarily due to a
$1.5 million decrease in electric revenue resulting from lower
dispatch by FPL. This decrease is partially offset by a $.2 million
increase in electric capacity and bonus revenue resulting from
higher availability levels during the first quarter of 1997.
Electric Revenues (dollars and KWh's in millions)
For the three months ended
March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996
Dollars 37.5 38.8
KWhs 331 373
Average Capacity Billing
Factor 95.38% 96.67%
Average Dispatch Rate 58% 67%
Costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were
approximately $17.3 million on sales of 330,586 MWhs as compared
to $18.5 million on sales of 372,986 MWhs for the corresponding
period in the prior year.
Total other operating expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1997, were approximately $2.6 million, which is comparable to
the total other operating expenses for the corresponding period in
the prior year.
Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
was approximately $13.6 million which is comparable to the $13.7
million of net interest expense for the same period in the prior
year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 22, 1994 the Partnership and ICL Funding issued
first mortgage bonds in an aggregate principal amount of $505
million (the "First Mortgage Bonds"). $236.6 million of the First
Mortgage Bonds bear an average interest rate of 9.26% and $268.4
million of the First Mortgage Bonds bear an interest rate of 9.77%.
Concurrently with the Partnership's issuance of its First Mortgage
Bonds, the Martin County Industrial Development Authority issued
$113 million of Industrial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Series 1994A) which bear an interest rate of 7.875% (the "1994A Tax
Exempt Bonds"). A second series of tax exempt bonds (Series 1994B)
in the approximate amount of $12 million, which bear an interest
rate of 8.05%, were issued by the Martin County Industrial
Development Authority on December 20, 1994 (the "1994B Tax Exempt
Bonds" and, together with the 1994A Tax Exempt Bonds, the "1994 Tax
Exempt Bonds"). The First Mortgage Bonds and the 1994 Tax Exempt
Bonds are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Bonds."
Certain proceeds from the issuance of the First Mortgage Bonds
were used to repay $421 million of the Partnership's indebtedness
and financing fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
development and construction of the Facility and the balance of the
proceeds were deposited in various restricted funds that are being
administered by an independent disbursement agent pursuant to trust
indentures and a disbursement agreement. Funds administered by such
disbursement agent are invested in specified investments. These
funds together with other funds available to the Partnership were
being used: (i) to finance completion of construction, testing, and
initial operation of the Facility; (ii) to finance construction
interest and contingency; and (iii) to provide for initial working
capital.
The proceeds of the 1994 Tax Exempt Bonds were used to refund
$113 million principal amount of Industrial Development Revenue
Bonds (Series 1992A and Series 1992B) previously issued by the
Martin County Industrial Development Authority for the benefit of
the Partnership, and to fund, in part, a debt service reserve
account for the benefit of the holders of its tax-exempt bonds and
to complete construction of certain portions of the Facility.
The Partnership's total borrowings through March 1997 were $769
million, of which the $139 million equity loan was repaid on
December 26, 1995. As of March 31, 1997, the borrowings included
all of the available $125 million of the proceeds of the 1994 Tax
Exempt Bonds and all of the available First Mortgage Bond proceeds.
Series A-1 of the First Mortgage Bonds, in the aggregate principal
amount of $4,397,000, matured and were repaid on June 15, 1996.
Series A-2 of the First Mortgage Bonds, in the aggregate principal
amount of $4,398,000, matured and were repaid on December 15, 1996.
The weighted average interest rate paid by the Partnership on its
debt for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was 9.02%. The
comparable rate was 9.18% for the same period in 1996.
The Partnership, pursuant to certain of the Project Contracts,
is required to post letters of credit which, in the aggregate, will
have a face amount of no more than $65 million. Certain of these
letters of credit have been issued pursuant to a Letter of Credit
and Reimbursement Agreement with Credit Suisse and the remaining
letters of credit will be issued when required under the Project
Contracts, subject to conditions contained in such Letter of Credit
and Reimbursement Agreement. As of March 31, 1997, no drawings have
been made on any of these letters of credit. The Letter of Credit
and Reimbursement Agreement has a term of seven years subject to
extension at the discretion of the banks party thereto.
The Partnership entered into a debt service reserve letter of
credit and reimbursement agreement, dated as of November 1, 1994,
with Banque Nationale de Paris pursuant to which a debt service
reserve letter of credit in the amount of approximately $60 million
was issued. Such agreement has a rolling term of five years,
subject to extension at the discretion of the banks party thereto.
Drawings on the debt service reserve letter of credit became
available on the Commercial Operation Date of the Facility to pay
principal and interest on the First Mortgage Bonds, the 1994 Tax
Exempt Bonds and interest on any loans created by drawings on such
debt service reserve letter of credit. Cash and other investments
held in the debt service reserve account will be drawn on for the
Tax Exempt Bonds prior to any drawings on the debt service reserve
letter of credit. As of March 31, 1997, no drawings have been made
on the debt service reserve letter of credit.
In order to provide for the Partnership's working capital needs,
the Partnership entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with
Credit Suisse dated as of November 1, 1994. Such Agreement has a
term of seven years subject to extension at the discretion of the
banks party thereto. The revolving credit agreement has a maximum
available amount of $15 million and may be drawn on by the
Partnership from time to time. The interest rate is based upon
various short term indices at the Partnership's option and is
determined separately for each draw. As of March 31, 1997, no
working capital loans have been made to the Partnership under the
working capital loan facility.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership is not currently aware of any pending or
threatened litigation that it anticipates would have a material
adverse effect on the Partnership.
The Partnership's steam host, Caulkins, has been named as a
defendant in a lawsuit by various Florida citrus growers. The
plaintiffs allege that Caulkins did not pay the growers the proper
amounts for their crops at various times from 1989 through 1994 and
are claiming $10 million in damages. Caulkins, without admitting
the veracity of the plaintiffs' allegations, has settled with citrus
growers not involved in the litigation which represent over 95% of
the fruit processed during the period which is the subject of the
lawsuit and, therefore, over 95% of the damages alleged. While the
Partnership is not, and does not anticipate being, involved with
this action, a significant judgment against Caulkins could have an
adverse impact on Caulkins' ability to continue purchasing steam
from the Partnership and, therefore, require the Partnership to take
certain actions, under the Energy Services Agreement with Caulkins
and otherwise, to preserve the Facility's status as a qualifying
facility. Caulkins has informed the Partnership of its view that
the magnitude of the remaining exposure with respect to this
litigation is not material to Caulkins' financial position. The
Partnership does not, and cannot, express any opinion as to the
likelihood or remoteness of a decision being rendered against
Caulkins in this case.
Item 5 OTHER INFORMATION
Governmental Approvals
The Partnership has obtained all material environmental permits
and approvals required, as ofMarch 31, 1997, in order to continue
commercial operation of the Facility. Certain of such permits and
approvals are subject to periodic renewal. Certain additional
permits and approvals will be required in the future for the
continued operation of the Facility. The Partnership is not aware
of any technical circumstances that would prevent the issuance of
such permits and approvals or the renewal of currently issued
permits. The Partnership timely filed its application for a Title V
air permit on May 24, 1996. A permit is expected within the next
two years.
Energy Prices
On October 1, 1996, FPL filed with the Florida Public Service
Commission its most recent projections for its 1996-1999 "as
available" energy costs (in this context, "as available" energy
costs reflect actual energy production costs avoided by FPL
resulting from the purchase of energy from the Facility and other
Qualifying Facilities). The projections filed by FPL are lower for
certain periods than the energy prices specified in the Power
Purchase Agreement for energy actually delivered by the Facility.
At other times, the projections exceed the energy prices specified
in the Power Purchase Agreement. Should FPL's "as available" energy
cost projections prove to reflect actual rates, FPL may elect,
pursuant to its dispatch and control rights over the Facility set
forth in the Power Purchase Agreement, to run the Facility less
frequently or at lower loads than if the Facility's energy prices
were lower than the cost of other energy sources available to FPL.
Because capacity payments under the Power Purchase Agreement are not
affected by FPL's dispatch of the Facility and because capacity
payments are expected by the Partnership to cover all of the
Partnership's fixed costs, including debt service, the Partnership
currently expects that, if the recently filed projections prove to
reflect actual rates, such rates and the resulting dispatch of the
Facility will not have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's ability to service its debt. To the extent the
Facility is not operated by FPL during Caulkins' processing season
(November to June), the Partnership may elect to run the Facility at
a minimum load or shut down the Facility and run auxiliary boilers
to produce steam for Caulkins in amounts required under the
Partnership's steam agreement with Caulkins. Such operations may
result in decreased net operating income for such periods. The
Partnership expects that the decrease, if any, will not be material.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, FPL requested to decommit
the Facility numerous times and the Partnership has exercised its
rights to operate at minimum load (100MW) during all but one such
decommit order. The Partnership's election to continue to operate
at minimum load has not had a material impact although energy
delivered during such operations is sold at reduced prices. Based
upon FPL's projections, the Partnership does not expect that, if the
recently filed projections prove to reflect actual rates, its
dispatch rate will change materially during the period covered by
such projections.
