SALTON SEA ROYALTY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) ____________________ 1. General: In the opinion of management of the Salton Sea Royalty Company (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, 1997 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Other Footnote Information: Reference is made to the Salton Sea Funding Corporation's most recently issued annual report on Form 10-K that included information necessary or useful to the understanding of the Company's business and financial statement presentations. THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Funding Corporation's and Guarantor's financial condition and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying statements of operations. Funding Corporation was organized for the sole purpose of acting as issuer of senior secured notes and bonds (the "Securities"). The Securities are payable from the proceeds of payments made of principal and interest on the senior secured project notes by the Guarantors, as defined, to the Funding Corporation. The Securities are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors. The guarantees of the Partnership Guarantors and Salton Sea Royalty Company are limited to available cash flow. The Funding Corporation does not conduct any operations apart from the Securities. The Partnership Projects sell all electricity generated by the respective plants pursuant to four long-term SO4 Agreements between the projects and Southern California Edison Company ("Edison"). These SO4 Agreements provide for capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments. Edison makes fixed annual capacity bonus payments to the projects, and to the extent that capacity factors exceed certain benchmarks is required to make capacity bonus payments. The price for capacity and capacity bonus payments is fixed for the life of the SO4 Agreements and the capacity payments are significantly higher in the months of June through September. Energy is sold at increasing scheduled rates for the first ten years of each contract and thereafter at Edison's Avoided Cost of Energy. The scheduled energy price periods of the Partnership Project SO4 Agreements extended until February 1996 for the Vulcan Partnership and extend until December 1998, December 1998, and December 1999 for each of the Hoch (Del Ranch), Elmore and Leathers Partnerships, respectively. Excluding Vulcan, which is receiving Edison's awarded cost of energy, the Companys SO4 Agreements provide for energy rates ranging from 13.6 cents per kWh in 1997 to 15.6 cents per kWh in 1999. The Salton Sea I Project sells electricity to Edison pursuant to a 30-year negotiated power purchase agreement, as amended (the "Salton Sea I PPA"), which provides for capacity and energy payments. The initial contract capacity and contract nameplate are each 10 MW. The energy payment is calculated using a Base Price which is subject to quarterly adjustments based on a basket of indices. The time period weighted average energy payment for Salton Sea I was 5.3 cents per kWh during the six months ended June 30, 1997. As the Salton Sea I PPA is not an SO4 Agreement, the energy payments do not revert to Edison's Avoided Cost of Energy. THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: (continued) The Salton Sea II and Salton Sea III Projects sell electricity to Edison pursuant to 30-year modified SO4 Agreements. The contract capacities and contract nameplates are 15 MW and 20 MW for Salton Sea II and 47.5 MW and 49.8 MW for Salton Sea III, respectively. The contracts require Edison to make capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments. The price for contract capacity and contract capacity bonus payments is fixed for the life of the modified SO4 Agreements. The energy payments for the first ten year period, which expires April 4, 2000 for Salton Sea II and February 13, 1999 for Salton Sea III, are levelized at a time period weighted average of 10.6 cents per kWh and 9.8 cents per kWh for Salton Sea II and Salton Sea III, respectively. Thereafter, the monthly energy payments will be at Edison's Avoided Cost of Energy. For Salton Sea II only, Edison is entitled to receive, at no cost, 5% of all energy delivered in excess of 80% of contract capacity through March 31, 2004. The Salton Sea IV Project sells electricity to Edison pursuant to a modified SO4 agreement which provides for contract capacity payments on 34 MW of capacity at two different rates based on the respective contract capacities deemed attributable to the original Salton Sea PPA option (20 MW) and to the original Fish Lake PPA (14 MW). The capacity payment price for the 20 MW portion adjusts quarterly based upon specified indices and the capacity payment price for the 14 MW portion is a fixed levelized rate. The energy payment (for deliveries up to a rate of 39.6 MW) is at a fixed price for 55.6% of the total energy delivered by Salton Sea IV and is based on an energy payment schedule for 44.4% of the total energy delivered by Salton Sea IV. The contract has a 30-year term but Edison is not required to purchase the 20 MW of capacity and energy originally attributable to the Salton Sea I PPA option after September 30, 2017, the original termination date of the Salton Sea I PPA. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Edison's average Avoided Cost of Energy was 3.2 cents per kWh which is substantially below the contract energy prices earned for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Estimates of Edison's future Avoided Cost of Energy vary substantially from year to year. The Company cannot predict the likely level of Avoided Cost of Energy prices under the SO4 Agreements and the modified SO4 Agreements at the expiration of the scheduled payment periods. The revenues generated by each of the projects operating under such Agreements could decline significantly after the expiration of the respective scheduled payment periods. The following data includes the aggregate capacity and electricity production of Salton Sea Units I, II, III and IV: THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: (continued) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, _________________________________________ 1997 1996 1997 1996 ________ _________ __________________ Operating capacity factor 89.4% 78.7% 94.1% 83.8% Capacity (NMW) (weighted average)* 119.4 92.9 119.4 86.3 kWh produced (in thousands) 233,100 159,700 487,900 315,900 *Weighted average for the commencement of operations at the Salton Sea Unit IV for 1996.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, sales of electricity increased to $48,423 from $35,233 in 1996, a 37.4% increase. These increases were primarily due to the addition of Unit IV production on June 1, 1996 and increased electric production at the other plants. The Partnership Guarantors' sales of electricity increased to $38,165 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $36,996 for the same period in 1996, a 3.2% increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, sales of electricity increased to $72,911 from $52,155 in 1996, a 39.8% increase. These increases were primarily due to the purchase of Edison Mission Energy's 50% partnership interest in the four geothermal operating facilities in April 1996 and a scheduled price increase at some of the facilities offset partially by turbine overhauls at Vulcan and Del Ranch in April 1997. The Royalty Guarantor revenue increased to $7,922 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $7,697 for the same period last year. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, revenue increased to $15,783 from $14,638 in 1996, a 7.8% increase. These increases were due primarily to higher energy sales at Del Ranch, Elmore and Leathers compared to the same periods of 1996. THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: (continued) The Salton Sea Guarantors' operating expenses, which include royalty, operating, and general and administrative expenses, increased to $6,844, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $5,937 for the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, operating expenses increased to $14,005 from $11,726 in 1996. These increases were primarily due to the start up of the Salton Sea Unit IV plant in June 1996. The Partnership Guarantors' operating expenses, which include royalty, operating, and general and administrative expenses, decreased to $15,366 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $16,798 for the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, operating expenses increased to $31,648 from $24,410 in 1996. The decrease in the second quarter was due to a reduction in operating costs. The year to date increase was primarily due to the Edison Mission Energy acquisition. The Royalty Guarantors' operating expenses increased to $1,955 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,845 for the same period in 1996, a 6.0% increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, operating expenses increased to $3,832 from $3,552 in 1996, a 7.9% increase. These increases were due to a scheduled increase in third party lessor royalties related to the increase in the Partnership Projects' sales of electricity. The Salton Sea Guarantors' depreciation and amortization increased to $3,647 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,204 for the same period of 1996, a 13.8% increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, depreciation and amortization increased to $7,289 from $5,886 in 1996. These increases were due primarily to the start up of the Salton Sea Unit IV plant in June 1996. The Partnership Guarantors' depreciation and amortization decreased to $9,686 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $9,916 for the same period in 1996, a 2.3% decrease. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, depreciation and amortization increased to $19,330 from $14,289 in 1996, a 35.3% increase. These increases were due primarily to the Edison Mission Energy acquisition. The Royalty Guarantors' amortization decreased to $2,448 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $2,570 for the same period of 1996, a 4.7% decrease. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, depreciation and amortization decreased to $4,897 from $5,140 in 1996. These decreases were due to decreases in allocated purchase price depreciation. The Salton Sea Guarantors' interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, increased to $4,614 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,355 for THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: (continued) the same period in 1996, a 37.5% increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, increased to $9,253 from $6,312 in 1996. These increases were due primarily to the capitalization of interest related to the mineral reserve project. The Partnership Guarantors' interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, increased to $1,246 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $793 for the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, increased to $2,651 from $793 in 1996. These increases were a result of increased indebtedness. The Royalty Guarantors' interest expense decreased to $1,094 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,341 from the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, interest expense decreased to $2,226 from $2,699 in 1996. These decreases were a result of reduced indebtedness. The Salton Sea Guarantors are comprised of partnerships. Income taxes are the responsibility of the partners and Salton Sea Guarantors have no obligation to provide funds to the partners for payment of any tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Salton Sea Guarantors have no tax obligations. The Partnership Guarantors income tax provision increased to $5,006 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $4,463 for the same period in 1996, a 12.2% increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the provision for income taxes increased to $8,109 from $6,712 in 1996, a 20.8% increase. These increases were primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes resulting from the Edison Mission Energy acquisition. 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 Royalty Guarantor's income tax provision was $748 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $887 for the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the income tax provision was $1,485 compared to $1,365 for the same period in 1996. Tax obligations of the Royalty Guarantor will be remitted to the parent company only to the extent of cash flows available after operating expenses and debt service. The Salton Sea Funding Corporation's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $356 compared to $510 for the same period in 1996. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997 net income decreased to $671 compared to $1,023 in 1996. The net income primarily represents interest income and THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Results of Operations: (continued) expense, net of applicable tax, and the Salton Sea Funding Corporation's 1% equity in earnings of the Guarantors.

THE SALTON SEA FUNDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per kwh data) _________________________________ Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Salton Sea Guarantors' only source of revenue is payments received pursuant to long term power sales agreements with Edison, other than interest earned on funds on deposit. The Partnership Guarantors' primary source of revenue is payments received pursuant to long term power sales agreements with Edison. The Partnership Guarantors' also receive a special distribution. The Royalty Guarantor receives Royalties pursuant to resource lease agreements with the Partnership Projects and the East Mesa Project. These payments, for each of the Guarantors, are expected to be sufficient to fund operating and maintenance expenses, payments of interest and principal on the Securities, projected capital expenditures and debt service reserve fund requirements.
