SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION 			 REFORM ACT OF 1995 In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act), ESI Tractebel Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.), Northeast Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership (NEA) and North Jersey Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership (NJEA) (collectively, the Partnerships), ESI Tractebel Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition Corp.) and Northeast Energy, LP (NE LP) (all five entities collectively, the Registrants) are hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause the Registrants' actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Reform Act) made by or on behalf of the Registrants in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as will likely result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, estimated, projection, outlook) are not statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that could cause the Registrants' actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Registrants. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Registrants undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include changes in laws or regulations, changing governmental policies and regulatory actions, including those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended, acquisition, disposal, depreciation and amortization of assets and facilities, operation and construction of plant facilities, recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, and present or prospective competition. The business and profitability of the Registrants are also influenced by economic and geographic factors including political and economic risks, changes in and compliance with environmental and safety laws and policies, weather conditions, population growth rates and demographic patterns, competition for retail and wholesale customers, availability, pricing and transportation of fuel and other energy commodities, market demand for energy from plants or facilities, changes in tax rates or policies or in rates of inflation or in accounting standards, unanticipated delays or changes in costs for capital projects, unanticipated changes in operating expenses and capital expenditures, capital market conditions, competition for new energy development opportunities and legal and administrative proceedings (whether civil, such as environmental, or criminal) and settlements. All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties which may materially affect actual results, and are beyond the control of the Registrants. 			PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1.

Notes to Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements, combined financial statements and financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 1999 Form 10-K for the Registrants. In the opinion of the Registrants' management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been made. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Combined Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements contained herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the 1999 Form 10-K for the Registrants. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year. In the following discussion, all comparisons are with the corresponding items in the prior year. Results of Operations NE LP and the Partnerships - Revenues for the third quarter increased primarily as a result of increased energy production and increased power sales to utilities at both the Bellingham, MA and Sayreville, NJ facilities. Revenues year to date decreased primarily as a result of lower availability in the second quarter due to an eleven-day utility outage at the Bellingham, MA facility for transmission interconnect maintenance and upgrades. Revenues include power sales to utilities which reflect changes in utility energy bank balances. The changes in the energy bank balances, which increased reported revenues, are determined in accordance with scheduled or specified rates under certain power purchase agreements. Fuel expense for the third quarter and year to date (excluding $5.2 million of deferred credit amortization for fuel contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and excluding $15.6 million of deferred credit amortization for fuel contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999) increased primarily as a result of the increased price of natural gas required to fuel the facilities. Operations and maintenance (O&M) expense for the third quarter and year to date decreased primarily as a result of a $428 thousand gain recognized as a result of settling certain issues that remained following the termination of the previous O&M contracts. The previous O&M contracts were terminated effective December 31, 1998 by mutual consent of the previous operator and the Partnerships. Additionally, for the third quarter and year to date, payroll expense has been reduced as a result of operating the facilities with fewer personnel. Interest expense of NE LP and the Partnerships for the third quarter and year to date decreased as a result of decreasing principal balances on the notes payable. The Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp. - The Funding Corp. made semi- annual debt principal payments and debt interest payments of $13.2 million and $21.0 million, respectively, in June 2000. The Acquisition Corp. made a semi-annual debt interest payment of $8.8 million in June 2000. Interest expense for the Funding Corp. for the third quarter and year to date decreased as a result of decreasing principal balances on the securities payable. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Registrants - Cash flow generated by the Partnerships year to date has been and is expected to remain sufficient for at least the next twelve months to fund operating expenses of the Registrants as well as fund the debt service requirements of the Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp.
