NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited combined financial statements included in the
     Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 1995 for
     Northeast Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership, and North Jersey Energy
     Associates, A Limited Partnership (together, the "Partnerships") and IEC
     Funding Corp.

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
     unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year. The unaudited financial information at March 31, 1996
     and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 contains all adjustments,
     consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered by management
     necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for such period.


2.   Distributions

     Distributions to the partners may be made only after all required funds and
     sub-funds have been fully funded as described in the trust indenture. After
     funding all amounts required under the indenture, the excess cash generated
     during the quarterly period ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $.3
     million. An additional $8.5 million of excess cash flow was generated in
     April. All conditions under the trust indenture for distributions of such
     excess cash were satisfied after March 31, 1996 resulting in a distribution
     of $8.8 million in April to the partners in proportion to their designated
     interests in the Partnerships.

NORTHEAST ENERGY ASSOCIATES, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND
NORTH JERSEY ENERGY ASSOCIATES, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Total revenue for the first quarter of 1996 of $74.2 million increased by $.9
million (1.2%) as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase is a result
of increased generation during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same
period last year, as well as decreasing energy bank requirements.

   Cost of power and steam sales, as a percentage of gross revenues, (gross of
increase to energy bank balances) was 51.3% for the first quarter of 1996 versus
44.3% for the first quarter of 1995. The increased costs are primarily
attributable to weather related increases in fuel costs including higher market
prices of spot gas and additional charges applicable under North Jersey Energy
Associates' extended gas service arrangement with a fuel supplier. Extended gas
service occurs when temperatures are below 22 degrees Fahrenheit. There were
sixteen such days during the first quarter of 1996 compared with four days in
the first quarter of 1995.

   Operation and maintenance costs increased $.2 million (2.8%) as compared to
the first quarter of 1995. Increases include normal and expected escalations on
O&M contracts, increased water and sewer charges, and increased property tax
rates.

   General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the first quarter
of 1996 as compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year, increasing
$.8 million (32.2%). Increases include legal and consulting costs related to
potential industry restructuring and normal and expected increases in overhead
costs.

   Interest expense decreased $.6 million (4.2%) as compared to the first
quarter of 1995, as a result of principal payments of $20.4 million paid in 
1995. Principal payments are made semi-annually on June 30, and December 30.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Cash flow generated during the first quarter of 1996 was more than sufficient
to fund all operating expenses as well as fund $37.6 million of interest and
principal required for payment on June 30, 1996. An additional debt service
reserve funding requirement of $.7 million was also fulfilled.
