The Coso Projects
The Coso projects consist of three 80 MW geothermal power plants, called
Navy I, BLM and Navy II, their transmission lines, wells, gathering system and
other related facilities. The Coso projects are located near one another in the
Mojave Desert approximately 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California, and
have been generating electricity since the late 1980s. Unlike fossil fuel-fired
power plants, the Coso projects' power plants use geothermal energy derived from
the natural heat of the earth's interior to generate electricity.
Coso Finance Partners (The Navy I partnership) owns Navy I and its related
facilities, Coso Energy Developers (the BLM partnership) owns BLM and its
related facilities and Coso Power Developers (the Navy II partnership) owns Navy
II and its related facilities (collectively, the Coso partnerships). The Coso
partnerships and their affiliates own the exclusive right to explore, develop
and use, currently without any known interference from any other power
developers, a portion of the Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area.
The geothermal power plants, each of which has three separate turbine
generator units, have consistently operated above their nominal capacities, and
the combined average capacity factor for the plants has exceeded 100% for each
of the last six years.
The Coso partnerships sell 100% of the electrical energy generated at the
plants to Southern California Edison (Edison) under three long-term Standard
Offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. Each power purchase agreement expires
after the last maturity date of the senior secured notes. (Edison is one of the
largest investor-owned electric utilities in the United States.) Under the power
purchase agreements, the Coso partnerships receive the following payments:
* Capacity payments for being able to produce electricity at
certain levels. Capacity payments are fixed throughout the lives
of the power purchase agreements;
* Capacity bonus payments if they are able to produce electricity
above a specified, higher level. The maximum capacity bonus
payment available is also fixed throughout the lives of the power
purchase agreements; and
* Energy payments based on the amount of electricity their
respective plants actually produce.
Energy payments were fixed for the first ten years of firm operation under
the power purchase agreements. Firm operation was achieved for each Coso
partnership when Edison and that Coso partnership under its power purchase
agreement agreed that each generating unit at a plant was a reliable source of
generation and could reasonably be expected to operate continuously at its
effective rating. After the first ten years of firm operation and until its
power purchase agreement expires, Edison is required to make energy payments to
the Coso partnership based on its avoided cost of energy. Edison's avoided cost
of energy is Edison's cost to generate electricity if Edison were to produce it
itself or buy it from another power producer rather than buy it from the
relevant Coso partnership. Future energy payments required to be paid by Edison
to the Coso partnerships will most likely be less than historical energy
payments because they will be paid based on Edison's avoided cost of energy,
instead of the fixed payments paid during the first ten years. The fixed energy
price period expired in August 1997 for the Navy I partnership, in March 1999
for the BLM partnership, and in January 2000 for the Navy II partnership. The
Edison power purchase agreements will expire in August 2011 for the Navy I
partnership; in March 2019 for the BLM partnership; and in January 2010 for the
Navy II partnership.
1
AB1890 Energy Subsidy Payments
In addition to receiving payments under the power purchase agreements, the
Coso partnerships qualify for subsidy payments from a special purpose state fund
established under California Legislature AB1890 (AB1890). The California Energy
Commission administers the fund. AB1890 provides, in part, for subsidy payments
from 1998 through 2001 to power generators using renewable sources of energy,
including geothermal energy, and who are being paid based on the avoided cost of
energy. The funds are distributed in the form of a production incentive payment
that subsidizes renewable energy producers when prices paid for their
electricity are below certain pre-determined target prices. Under AB1890, the
Navy I partnership, the BLM partnership and the Navy II partnership would
receive future subsidy payments for energy delivered to Edison by the respective
Coso partnership, if Edison's avoided cost of energy falls below three cents per
kWh. This subsidy payment is capped at one cent per kWh.
Purchase of CalEnergy Interests
On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC, (Caithness Energy) purchased all of
the interests in the Coso projects that were owned by CalEnergy Company Inc.'s
(CalEnergy), which is now known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The
purchase price consisted of $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in
contingent payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates'
share of debt outstanding on the Coso projects which then totaled approximately
$67.0 million. In order to complete the purchase, CAC arranged for short-term
debt financing in the principal amount of approximately $211.5 million. CAC used
a portion of the proceeds from the Series A note offering that it received from
the Coso partnerships, together with funds from other sources, to repay all of
this short-term borrowing.
Operating Strategy
The Coso partnerships seek to maximize their cash flow at the Coso projects
through active management of the their cost structure and the geothermal
resource. After CAC'S purchase of all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso
projects, the Coso partnerships retained Coso Operating Company, (COC) which is
an affiliate, to maintain all three plants, the transmission lines and the
geothermal resource, including well drilling. As a result of the change in
operators and restructuring of operator fees, the aggregate annual fees paid by
the Coso partnerships to COC for such maintenance has been reduced
significantly. Payments of operator fees were subordinated to all payments made
under the senior secured notes. CAC, which purchased the managing partners
interest in the Coso partnerships, has caused any management fees payable by
each Coso partnership to its partners to be subordinated to all payments made
under the senior secured notes.
The Coso projects qualify as Small Power Qualifying Facilities (QF) under
the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) and the rules and regulations
promulgated under PURPA by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
PURPA exempts the Coso projects from certain federal and state regulations. The
Coso projects must continue to satisfy certain ownership and fuel-use standards
to maintain their QF status. Since their inception, the Coso projects have
satisfied these standards and we expect that they will continue to do so.
The Sponsor
Caithness Energy, the principal operating subsidiary of Caithness
Corporation, is a developer and owner of independent power projects and is the
sponsor of the Coso projects. Since 1966, the current owners of Caithness
Corporation have been involved in the development of long-term investment
opportunities involving natural resources. Caithness Corporation is one of the
two original sponsors of the Coso projects and formed Caithness Energy in 1995
to consolidate its ownership of independent power projects.
2
Caithness Energy believes that it is currently the second largest owner of
geothermal power projects in the United States, based on the total electrical
generating capacity of its power projects. Through its controlled affiliates,
Caithness Energy owns interests in seven geothermal plants, including the Coso
projects, totaling 414 MW of generating capacity. Caithness Energy is also
seeking to develop two additional natural gas power projects with a total
potential electrical generating capacity of over 1,580 MW, and has interests in
other operating power generating facilities, including solar, wind and natural
gas, totaling an additional 696 MW of generating capacity.
Caithness Energy is headquartered in New York City and has additional
offices in California, Nevada, Denver and Florida.
The Issuer
Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) is a special purpose
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Coso partnerships. It was
formed for the purpose of issuing the senior secured notes on behalf of the Coso
partnerships who have jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed
repayment of the senior secured notes.
Funding Corp. has no material assets, other than the loans made to the Coso
partnerships, and does not conduct any business, other than issuing the senior
secured notes and making the loans to the Coso partnerships.
The Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area
The Coso projects are located in an area that has been designated as a
Known Geothermal Resources Area by the Bureau of Land Management pursuant to the
Geothermal Steam Act of 1970. The Bureau of Land Management designates an area
as a Known Geothermal Resource Area when it determines that a commercially
viable geothermal resource is likely to exist there. There are over 100 Known
Geothermal Resource Areas in the United States, most of which are located in the
western United States in tectonically active regions.
The Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area is located in Inyo County,
California, approximately 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The Coso
geothermal resource is a ''liquid-dominated'' hot water source contained within
the heterogeneous fractured granite rocks of the Coso Mountains. It is believed
the heat source for the Coso geothermal resource is a hot molten rock or
''magma'' body located at a depth of six-to-seven miles beneath the surface of
the field. Geochemical studies indicate that the water in the Coso geothermal
resource is ancient water that has been there since the ice age or longer.
Steam Sharing Program
In 1994, the Coso partnerships entered into a Geothermal Exchange Agreement
which implemented a steam-sharing program among the Coso projects. The purpose
of the steam-sharing program is to enhance the management and optimize the
overall use of the Coso geothermal resource. Pursuant to the steam sharing
program, the Coso partnerships constructed an inter-project steam supply and
water injection system that links the three Coso projects and BLM North together
via metered transfer lines through which the Coso partnerships exchange steam
and other geothermal resources with one another.
3
As part of the steam sharing program, the Coso partnerships plan to
conserve the geothermal resource whenever possible by, among other things,
transferring steam between and among the Coso projects and BLM North, rather
than drilling new wells at the Coso projects' sites prematurely, and expanding a
flexible field-wide water reinjection program. While the U.S. Navy and the
Bureau of Land Management have consented to the steam sharing program, each has
reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw its consent to such
transfers under certain circumstances.
In 2000, the Navy I partnership and the Navy II partnership incurred
aggregate royalties to the U.S Navy of approximately $2.0 million for steam
transferred by Navy I to Navy II and by Navy II to BLM under the steam sharing
program from geothermal resources located on the property on which Navy I or
Navy II, as the case may be, are situated. Of this amount, the Navy I and Navy
II partnerships each incurred approximately $1.0 million. The BLM partnership
reimbursed the Navy II partnership approximately $0.4 million of the royalties
incurred by the Navy II partnership. The BLM partnership incurs a royalty to the
U.S. Navy for electricity generated by BLM for steam transferred from U.S. Navy
property and sold to Edison.
Royalty and Revenue-Sharing Arrangements
The Coso partnerships are required to make royalty payments to, and are
subject to other revenue-sharing arrangements with, the U.S. Navy, the Bureau of
Land Management and certain other persons.
Navy I
Under the U.S. Navy contract, as a royalty for Unit 1 at Navy I, the Navy I
partnership is obligated to partially reimburse the U.S. Navy for electricity
supplied to it by Edison from electricity generated at the Navy I plant. The
reimbursement payment is based on a pricing formula included in the U.S. Navy
contract. The percentage rate of reimbursement changes semiannually, but cannot
exceed 95% of the price paid by the U.S. Navy to Edison, in accordance with a
weighted index based on the Consumer Price Index and price indices for the oil
industry, the electric power plant industry and the construction industry.
In addition, with respect to Unit 1 at Navy I, the Navy I partnership is
obligated to pay the U.S. Navy the sum of $25.0 million on or before December
31, 2009, the expiration date of the term of the U.S. Navy contract. Payment of
this obligation will be made from an established sinking fund to which the Navy
I partnership has been making payments since 1987.
For Units 2 and 3 at Navy I, the Navy I partnership's royalty expense is a
fixed percentage of its electricity sales to Edison. The royalty expense is
15.0% of revenues received by the Navy I partnership through 2003 and will
increase to 20.0% of revenues received from 2004 through 2009, the expiration
date of the U.S. Navy contract.
BLM
The BLM partnership pays royalties to the Bureau of Land Management under
the BLM lease. The royalty rate is 10% of the value of the steam produced by the
BLM partnership. This royalty rate is fixed for the life of the BLM Lease. In
addition to this royalty, the BLM partnership is obligated to pay a royalty of
5% based on the value of the steam produced, to Coso Land Company, a general
partnership of which CAC and another affiliate of Caithness Energy are the
general partners, in connection with the assignment of the BLM lease to the BLM
partnership. The royalty is subordinated to the payment of all the BLM
partnership's other royalties, all debt service and all operating costs of BLM.
No portion of the royalty accrued to Coso Land Company to date has been paid.
4
BLM North
Coso Land Company had applied as a tenant-in-common, to the Bureau of Land
Management for assignment to each of the Coso partnerships of an undivided
one-third interest in leases they had previously bought from the Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The assignment became effective in
December 2000 and now each Coso partnership is required to pay $8.00 per acre in
additional rent to the Bureau of Land Management. When the leased property
commences to produce geothermal steam, the Coso partnerships will pay monthly
royalties under the LADWP leases of 10% of the value of steam produced, 5% of
the value of any by-products, and 5% of the value commercially demineralized
water. The Bureau of Land Management may establish minimum production levels and
reduce the foregoing royalties if necessary to encourage the greater recovery of
leased resources, or as otherwise justified.
Navy II
The Navy II partnership pays royalties to the U.S Navy under the U.S Navy
contract. The Navy II partnership's royalty expense is a fixed percentage of its
electricity sales to Edison. The royalty rate was 10.0% of electricity sales to
Edison through 1999, increased to 18.0% for 2000 through 2004 and will increase
to 20.0% from 2005 through the end of the Navy contract.
Operations and Maintenance
The operations and maintenance services for the Coso projects, including
the Navy I, BLM, and Navy II transmission lines, wells, gathering system, and
other related facilities, are performed by COC on behalf of the Coso
partnerships pursuant to Operation and Maintenance agreements. COC is a wholly
owned subsidiary of CAC that was initially formed by CalEnergy to facilitate the
transfer of operational control of the Coso projects to a Caithness Energy
affiliate.
On February 26, 1999 CalEnergy ceased to be the operator of the Coso
projects, and FPL Energy Operating Services, Inc. (FPLEOSI), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of FPL Energy, Inc., assumed that role. An amended and restated
operation and maintenance agreement between FPLEOSI and the managing general
partners was implemented. Under that agreement, FPLEOSI became the plant
operator and under a separate operations and maintenance agreement COC was
responsible for maintenance of the geothermal resource. On October 17, 1999 the
operating agreement between FPLEOSI and the managing general partners was
terminated and COC became the sole operator of the plant and continued to
maintain the geothermal field.
Insurance
The Coso partnerships currently have property, business interruption,
catastrophe and general liability insurance for the Coso projects. The plants
are insured up to their replacement cost for general property damage and over
$166 million in the aggregate for business interruption, subject to a $25,000
deductible for property damage (and a $250,000 deductible for the turbine
generator sets), with a 15-day deductible for business interruption and a 25-day
deductible for machinery breakdown and earthquake. Catastrophic insurance
(including earthquake and flood) is capped at $200.0 million for property
damage, subject to a deductible of $2.5 million or 5.0% of the loss, whichever
is greater. Liability insurance coverage is $51.0 million (occurrence based).
Operators extra expense (control of well) insurance is $10.0 million per
occurrence with a $25,000 deductible.
5
Employees
Employees necessary for the operation of the Coso partnerships are provided
by COC, under their respective operation and maintenance agreements. COC
maintains a qualified technical staff covering a broad range of disciplines
including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, drilling technology, reservoir
engineering, plant engineering, construction management, maintenance services,
production management, electric power operation and certain accounting,
purchasing and payroll services. As of December 31, 2000, COC employed 94 people
to operate and maintain the Coso projects.
Competition
The Coso partnerships sell all electrical energy generated at the plants to
Edison under three long-term Standard Offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. The
payments under these agreements have constituted 100% of the operating revenues
of each power plant since its inception.
Environmental and Regulatory Matters
The Coso partnerships are subject to environmental laws and regulations at
the federal, state and local levels in connection with the development,
ownership and operation of the Coso projects. These environmental laws and
regulations generally require that a wide variety of permits and governmental
approvals be obtained to construct and operate an energy-producing facility. The
facility must then operate in compliance with the terms of these permits and
approvals. If the Coso partnerships fail to operate their facilities in
compliance with applicable laws, permits and approvals, governmental agencies
could levy fines or curtail operations.
The Coso partnerships believe they are in compliance in all material
respects with all environmental regulatory requirements applicable to the Coso
projects, and that maintaining compliance with current governmental requirements
will not require a material increase in capital expenditures or materially
adversely affect that Coso partnership's financial condition or results of
operations. It is possible, however, that future developments, such as more
stringent requirements of environmental laws and enforcement policies
thereunder, could affect capital and other costs at the Coso projects and the
manner in which the Coso partnerships conduct their business.

Item 2. Properties
Plants
Navy I
Navy I and its steam resource are located on the United States Naval
Weapons Center at China Lake. In December of 2000, Navy I acquired an undivided
one-third interest in leases previously purchased from LADWP located on Bureau
of Land Management property. It commenced operations in 1987. Geothermal steam
for Navy I is produced using over 40 production and injection wells located
within a radius of approximately 3,000 feet of Navy I. Navy I consists of three
separate turbine generators, known as Units 1, 2 and 3, each with approximately
30 MW of electrical generating capacity. Navy I's steam gathering and piping
systems are cross-connected to Navy II via metered transfers to allow steam to
be transferred from wells located on the real property covered by the LADWP
leases to Navy I and between Navy I and Navy II, pursuant to the steam sharing
program. Unit 1 commenced firm operation in 1987, and Units 2 and 3 commenced
firm operation during 1988. Navy I has an aggregate gross electrical generating
capacity of approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity
factor of 111.8% in 2000, 95.4% in 1999, and 94.6% in 1998, based on a stated
capacity of 80 MW.
BLM
BLM and its steam resource are located on Bureau of Land Management
property, within the boundaries of the United States Naval Weapons Center at
China Lake. In December of 2000, BLM acquired an undivided one-third interest in
leases previously purchased from LADWP which are also located on Bureau of Land
Management property. It commenced operations in 1989. BLM is comprised of
turbine generators located at two different power blocks: the BLM East site and
the BLM West site. The BLM East site is located approximately 1.3 miles east of
the BLM West site. Geothermal steam for BLM is produced using over 35 production
and injection wells located within a radius of approximately 4,000 feet from
either the BLM East or the BLM West site. BLM consists of three separate turbine
generators, known as Units 7, 8 and 9. Units 7 and 8 are located at the BLM East
site, each with a generating capacity of approximately 30 MW, while Unit 9 is
located at the BLM West site, with a generating capacity of approximately 30 MW.
All three units commenced firm operation during 1989. BLM's steam gathering and
piping systems are cross connected to Navy II via metered transfers to allow
steam to be transferred between Navy II and BLM pursuant to the steam sharing
program. BLM has an aggregate gross electrical generating capacity of
approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity factor of
109.4% in 2000, 105.0% in 1999, and 104.4% in 1998, based on a stated capacity
of 80 MW.
7
Navy II
Navy II and its steam resource are located on the United States Naval
Weapons Center at China Lake. In December of 2000, Navy II acquired an undivided
one-third interest in leases previously purchased from LADWP which are located
on Bureau of Land Management property. It commenced operations in 1989.
Geothermal steam for Navy II is produced using over 35 production and injection
wells located within a radius of approximately 6,000 feet of Navy II. Navy II
consists of three separate turbine generators, known as Units 4, 5 and 6, each
with approximately 30 MW of electrical generating capacity. All three Navy II
units commenced firm operation in 1990. Navy II's steam supply systems are
cross-connected to Navy I and BLM steam supply systems via metered transfers to
allow steam to be transferred between or among the plants pursuant to the steam
sharing program. Navy II has an aggregate gross electrical capacity of
approximately 90 MW, and operated at an average operating capacity factor of
111.1% in 2000, 112.0% in 1999, and 108.6% in 1998, based on a stated capacity
of 80 MW.
Transmission Lines
The electricity generated by Navy I is conveyed over an approximately
28.8-mile 115 kilovolt (''kV'') transmission line on the U.S. Navy and Bureau of
Land Management land that is connected to the Edison substation at Inyokern,
California. The Navy I partnership owns and uses this transmission line and its
related facilities. The electricity generated by BLM and Navy II is conveyed
over an approximately 28.8-mile 230 kV transmission line on U.S. Navy and Bureau
of Land Management land that is also connected to the Edison substation at
Inyokern, California. Coso Transmission Line Partners owns the BLM/Navy II
transmission line and related facilities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Settlement of Litigation
In December 1999, the BLM partnership and Dow Chemical Company (Dow)
entered into a confidential settlement agreement which was effective January 1,
2000, to resolve BLM partnership's claim to recover damages incurred related to
the installation in 1992 by Dow of a hydrogen sulfide abatement system.
In February 2000, Navy I, Navy II, and BLM reached a settlement with
Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities Commission,
which was received in December 2000. The case has not yet been dismissed pending
completion of certain obligations under the settlement agreement. The cost of
the settlement was allocated among the Coso partnerships.
Except as otherwise described above, the Coso partnerships are currently
parties to various items of litigation, none of which, if determined adversely,
would be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the
Coso partnerships, either individually or taken as a whole.

Footnotes to Summary Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data
(a) Reflects the combined financial results of the Navy I partnership
and Coso Finance Partners II, a California general partnership (''CFP
II''). The Navy I partnership and CFP II were first formed as separate
entities to facilitate the initial bank financing for the construction and
development of Navy I. Initially, the Navy I partnership acquired all of
the assets relating to the first turbine generator unit at Navy I and CFP
II acquired all of the assets of Navy I relating to the second and third
generator units at Navy I. In 1988, CFP II assigned all of its rights and
interests in the second and third generator units at Navy I to the Navy I
partnership in return for a 5.0% royalty to be paid based on the Navy I
partnership's steam production. Since the Navy I partnership and CFP II
operate under common ownership and management control, the historical
financial statements of the entities have been combined after elimination
of intercompany amounts related to the royalty arrangement. During 1999,
the closing of the Series A notes offering, CFP II merged with and into the
Navy I partnership and the accrued royalty was extinguished. In addition,
the royalty will no longer be accrued from and after the Series A note
offering.
(b) The fixed energy price periods expired for the Navy I partnership in
August 1997, for the BLM partnership in March 1999 and for the Navy II
partnership in January 2000.
(c) After CACs purchase of all of CalEnergy's interests in the Coso
projects on February 25, 1999, the Coso partnerships adopted a new basis of
accounting and, accordingly, the financial information for the period after
the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the
period before the acquisition and therefore is not comparable. The purchase
price was allocated to the portion of the assets and liabilities purchased
from CalEnergy based on their fair values, with the amount of fair value of
net assets in excess of the purchase price being allocated to long-lived
assets on a pro-rata basis.
(d) Based on a stated capacity of 80 MW.
(e) The variance in the operating capacity factors for the Navy I partnership,
the BLM partnership, and the Navy II partnership are due to the transfer
of steam from the Navy I partnership to the BLM and Navy II partnership's
under the steam sharing program.
(f) Reflects indebtedness owed to Funding Corp., which loaned all the
proceeds from the offering to the Coso partnerships at interest rates and
maturities identical to the interest rates and maturities of the senior
secured notes.

General
The Coso projects consist of three 80MW geothermal power plants, which are
referred to as Navy I, BLM and Navy II, and their transmission lines, wells,
gathering systems and other related facilities. The Coso projects are located
near one another at the United States Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake,
California. The Navy I partnership owns Navy I and its related facilities. The
BLM partnership owns BLM and its related facilities. The Navy II partnership
owns Navy II and its related facilities. Affiliates of Caithness Corporation and
CalEnergy Company, Inc. ("CalEnergy"), which is now known as MidAmerican Energy
Holdings Company, formed the Coso partnerships in the 1980s to develop,
construct, own and operate the Coso projects. On February 25, 1999 Caithness
Acquisition Company, LLC, (CAC) purchased all of CalEnergy's interests in the
Coso projects for $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in contingent
payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates share of debt
outstanding at the Coso projects which then totaled approximately $67.0 million.
Each Coso partnership sells 100% of the electrical energy generated at its
plant to Edison under a long-term Standard Offer No.4 power purchase agreement.
Each power purchase agreement expires after the final maturity date of the 6.8%
Series B Senior Secured Notes and the 9.05% Series B Senior Secured Notes issued
by Funding Corp.
Each Coso partnership is entitled to the following payments under its power
purchase agreement:
* Capacity payments for being able to produce electricity at certain
levels. Capacity payments are fixed throughout the life of each power
purchase agreement;
* Capacity bonus payments if the Coso partnership is able to produce
electricity above a specified higher level. The maximum annual capacity
bonus payment available is also fixed throughout the life of each power
purchase agreement; and
* Energy payments which are based on the amount of electricity the Coso
partnership's plant actually produces.
Energy payments were fixed for the first ten years of firm operation under
each power purchase agreement.After the first ten years of firm operation and
until a Coso partnership's power purchase agreement expires, Edison makes energy
payments to the Coso partnership based on Edison's "avoided cost of energy".
Edison's avoided cost of energy is Ediso's cost to generate electricity if
Edison were to produce it itself or buy it from another power producer rather
than buy it from the Coso partnerships. The power purchase agreement for the
Navy I partnership will expire in August 2011, the power purchase agreement for
the BLM partnership will expire in March 2019, and the power purchase agreement
for the Navy II partnership will expire in January 2010. The fixed energy price
period expired in August 1997 for the Navy I partnership, in March 1999 for the
BLM partnership and in January 2000 for the Navy II partnership.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, Edison's annual average avoided cost
of energy paid to the Navy I, the BLM and the Navy II Partnerships was 5.8 cents
per kWh, which is substantially below the fixed energy prices earned by the
partnerships prior to the expiration of the fixed energy price periods of their
respective power purchase agreements. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost
of energy vary significantly, and no one can predict the likely level of avoided
cost of energy prices.
13
The Coso Partnerships implemented a steam-sharing program, which they
established under the Coso Geothermal Exchange Agreement they entered into in
1994. The purpose of the steam-sharing program is to enhance the management of
the Coso geothermal resource and to optimize the resource's overall benefits to
the Coso partnerships by transferring steam among the Coso projects. Under the
steam sharing program, the partnership receiving the steam transfer splits
revenue earned from electricity generated with the partnership that transferred
the steam.
Funding Corp is a special purpose corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Coso partnerships. It was formed for the purpose of issuing the senior
secured notes on behalf of the Coso partnerships who have jointly, severally,
and unconditionally guaranteed repayment of the senior secured notes.
On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. issued $110.0 million of 6.80% senior
secured notes due in 2001 and $303.0 million of 9.05% senior secured notes due
in 2009. The proceeds from the notes were loaned to the Coso partnerships and
are payable to Funding Corp from payments of principal and interest on the
notes. Funding Corp. does not conduct any other operations apart from issuing
the notes.
Under the depositary agreement, the Coso partnerships established accounts
with a depositary and pledged those accounts as security for the benefit of the
holders of the senior secured notes. All amounts deposited with the depositary
are, at the direction of the Coso partnerships, invested by the depositary in
permitted investments. All revenues or other proceeds actually received by the
Coso partnerships are deposited in a revenue account and withdrawn upon receipt
by the depositary of a certificate from the relevant Coso partnerships detailing
the amounts to be paid from funds in its respective revenue account.
Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between supply and demand,
among other factors, has lead to significant increases in wholesale electricity
prices in California. Edison had previously agreed to fixed tariffs with their
retail customers that were significantly below the wholesale prices they pay in
California. This resulted in significant under-recoveries by Edison of their
electricity purchase costs. On January 16, 2001 Edison announced that it was
temporarily suspending payments for energy provided, including the energy
provided by the Coso partnerships, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity
crisis. Edison has not made payments to the Coso partnerships for power
generated in November and December of 2000, which were $13,284 and $32,540,
respectively. The Coso partnerships have also billed Edison for energy provided
in January and February of 2001. The cost to Edison for this power would be
approximately $33,813 and $24,421, respectively.
Capacity Utilization
For purposes of consistency in financial presentation, the plant capacity
factor for each of the Coso partnerships is based on a nominal capacity amount
of 80MW (240MW in the aggregate). The Coso partnerships have a gross operating
capacity that allows for the production of electricity in excess of their
nominal capacity amounts. Utilization of this operating margin is based upon a
number of factors and can be expected to vary throughout the year under normal
operating conditions.

The following data includes the operating capacity factor, capacity and
electricity production (in kWh) for each Coso partnership on a stand-alone
basis:

Total energy production for the Navy I partnership was 785.6 million kWh
for 2000, as compared to 668.4 million kWh for 1999, an increase of 17.5%. The
increase in Navy I partnership's energy production is attributable to increased
production resulting from decreased steam transfers and the outage of one
turbine generator unit during a portion of 1999. Total energy production for the
BLM partnership was 769.1 million kWh for 2000, as compared to 735.8 million kWh
in 1999, an increase of 4.5%. Total energy production for the Navy II
partnership was 780.7 million kWh for 2000, as compared to 785.8 million kWh in
1999, a decrease of 0.6%.
Total energy production for the Navy I partnership was 668.4 million kWh
for 1999, as compared to 662.6 million kWh for 1998, an increase of 0.9%. Total
energy production for the BLM partnership was 735.8 million kWh for 1999, as
compared to 731.8 million kWh in 1998, an increase of 0.5%. Total energy
production for the Navy II partnership was 785.8 million kWh for 1999, as
compared to 760.7 million kWh in 1998, an increase of 3.3%.

Total operating revenues for the Navy I partnership, which consist of
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $67.7
million for 2000, as compared to $55.7 million in 1999, an increase of 21.5%.
The increase in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 2000 was
primarily due to the increase in the average avoided cost of energy from 3.1
cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. Capacity and bonus revenues
were $14.3 million for 2000, as compared to $13.4 million in 1999, an increase
of 6.7%. The increase was due to increased production resulting from decreased
steam transfers and the outage of one of the Navy I units during a portion of
1999.
Total operating revenues for the BLM partnership, which consist of capacity
payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $57.5 million for
2000, as compared to $49.9 million in 1999, an increase of 15.2%. The increase
in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 2000 was primarily due to
the increase in average avoided cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to
5.8 cents per kWh in 2000.
Total operating revenues for the Navy II partnership, which consist of
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $58.4
million for 2000, as compared to $113.7 million in 1999, a decrease of 48.6%.
The Navy II partnerships energy revenues decreased by $55.3 million due to the
expiration of the fixed energy price period under the Navy II partnership's
power purchase agreement in January 2000 and the receipt of energy payments
based on Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Until January 2000,
and during 1999, the Navy II partnership received approximately 14.5 cents per
kWh for energy delivered. Under the avoided cost of energy formula, the Navy II
partnership received an average of approximately 6.0 cents per kWh for energy
delivered for the period February 2000 to December 2000.
Total operating revenues for the Navy I partnership, which consist of
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $55.7
million for 1999, as compared to $53.2 million in 1998, an increase of 4.7%. The
increase in total operating revenues and energy revenues for 1999 was primarily
due to the Navy I partnership's ability to transfer geothermal steam to the BLM
partnership and the Navy II partnership, both of which were receiving higher
fixed energy prices under their respective power purchase agreements (the BLM
partnership stopped receiving higher fixed energy prices during the first
quarter of 1999) and slightly higher energy prices received from Edison.
Total operating revenues for the BLM partnership, which consist of capacity
payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $49.9 million in
1999, as compared to $107.2 million in 1998, a decrease of 53.5%. The BLM
partnership's energy revenues decreased by $57.3 million in 1999, due to the
expiration of the fixed energy price period under the BLM partnership's power
purchase agreement in March 1999 and the receipt of energy payments based on
Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Until March 1999, and during
1998, the BLM partnership received approximately 14.6 cents per kWh for energy
delivered. Under the avoided cost of energy formula, the BLM partnership
received an average of approximately 3.2 cents per kWh for energy delivered for
the period April 1999 to December 1999.
Total operating revenues for the Navy II partnership, which consist of
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments, were $113.7
million in 1999, as compared to $119.6 million in 1998, a decrease of 4.9%. The
decrease in revenues was due to increased steam transfers from the Navy I
partnership.

Navy II partnership 2,868 0.4 2,174 0.3 1,799 0.2
The Navy I partnership's interest and other income was $2.5 million in
2000, as compared to $2.2 million in 1999, an increase of 13.6%. The increase
was primarily due to a settlement of $600,000 for legal fees related to the
Edison litigation and increased interest income from higher cash reserves
balances required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The BLM
partnership's interest and other income was $8.1 million in 2000, as compared to
$1.1 million in 1999, an increase of $7.0 million. This increase was primarily
due to a legal settlement of $6.1 million with Dow Chemical Company, settlement
of $600,000 for legal fees related to the Edison litigation, and increased
interest income from higher cash reserves balances required by the senior
secured notes issued on May 28, 1999. The Navy II partnership's interest and
other income was $2.9 million in 2000, as compared to $2.2 million in 1999, an
increase of 31.8%. The increase was primarily due to a settlement of $600,000
for legal fees related to the Edison litigation and increased in interest income
from higher cash reserves balances required by the senior secured notes issued
on May 28, 1999.
The Navy I partnership's interest and other income was $2.2 million in
1999, as compared to $0.6 million in 1998, an increase of $1.6 million. The
increase was primarily due to the accrual of a $1.6 million business loss
insurance recovery in connection with the shutdown of one of the Navy I
partnership's turbine generator units during the first quarter of 1999. The shut
down unit was returned to service in May of 1999. The partnership has recovered
$500,000 with respect to the insurance and has reserved the remaining $1.1
million pending resolution of the insurance claim. The remainder of the increase
in interest and other income for the Navy I partnership resulted from interest
income on cash revenues required by the senior notes issued on May 28, 1999. The
BLM partnership's interest and other income was $1.1 million in 1999, as
compared to $1.2 million in 1998, a decrease of 8.3%. The decrease was due to
the decreased level of cash balances resulting from the reduction in energy
revenues subsequent to the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the
BLM partnerships power purchase agreements in March 1999. The decreases were
partially mitigated by interest income resulting from cash reserves required by
the senior secured notes issued on May 29, 1999. The Navy II partnership's
interest and other income was $2.2 million in 1999, as compared to $1.8 million
in 1998, an increase of 22.2%. The increase was primarily due to interest on
increased cash reserves required by the senior secured notes issued on May 28,
1999.

respectively. Legal expenses including monies allocated for litigation
settlements increased in 1999 for the BLM and Navy II partnerships by $1.2
million and $2.9 million, respectively. The change for both 2000 and 1999
resulted from, among other expenses, an accrued settlement obligation with
Edison.

Navy II partnership 9,409 1.2 10,873 1.4 12,271 1.6
The Navy I partnership's operating expenses, including operating and
general and administrative expenses were $8.6 million in 2000, as compared to
$10.0 million in 1999, a decrease of 14.0%. The BLM partnership's operating
expenses, including operating and general and administrative expenses were $12.0
million in 2000, as compared to $15.6 million in 1999, a decrease of 23.1%. The
Navy II partnership's operating expenses including operating and general and
administrative expenses were $9.4 million in 2000, as compared to $10.9 million
in 1999, a decrease of 13.8%. The decreases for each of the Coso partnerships
for 2000 as compared to 1999, was primarily due to the continued implementation
of management's plan to reduce the work force and other operating costs. The
replacement of the Coso project's prior operator and managing partner also
contributed to the overall reduction in plant operating costs.
The decrease in operating expenses for the BLM and Navy II partnerships for
1999, as compared to 1998, was due primarily to reductions in operator and
management fees, insurance and other operating costs, somewhat offset by an
increase in property taxes.

Navy II partnership 10,104 1.3 12,077 1.5 11,868 1.6
The Navy I partnership's royalty expenses were $10.9 million for 2000, as
compared to $10.2 million in 1999, an increase of 6.9%. The increase was due to
an increase in energy revenues caused by the increase in the average avoided
cost of energy from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. The
BLM partnership's royalty expenses were $4.0 million for 2000, as compared to
$3.1 million in 1999, an increase of 29.0%. This increase was due to an increase
in energy revenues caused by the increase in the average avoided cost of energy
from 3.1 cents per kWh in 1999 to 5.8 cents per kWh in 2000. The Navy II
partnership's royalty expenses were $10.1 million for 2000, as compared to $12.1
million in 1999, a decrease of 16.5%. The decrease was primarily due to a
reduction in the Navy II partnerships energy revenues, caused by the expiration
of the fixed energy price period under the Navy II partnership's power purchase
agreement in January 2000, and the receipt of energy payments based on Edison's
average avoided cost of energy since that time. Under the average avoided costs
of energy formula, the Navy II partnership received an average of approximately
6.0 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period February 2000 to December
2000. The decrease in the Navy II partnerships royalty expenses were partially
offset by an increase in royalty rate from 10% to 18% as of January 2000.
The Navy I partnership's royalty expenses were $10.2 million for 1999, as
compared to $6.8 million in 1998, an increase of 50.0%. The increase was due to
a scheduled increase in the royalty rate paid to the U.S. Navy beginning in
November 1998 from 10% to 15%. The BLM partnership's royalty expenses were $3.1
million for 1999, as compared to $10.5 million in 1998, a decreased of 70.5%.
This decrease was due to a reduction in BLM partnership revenues caused by the
expiration of the fixed energy price period under the BLM partnership's power
purchase agreement in March 1999, and the receipt of energy payments under
Edison's average avoided cost of energy since that time. The Navy II
partnership's royalty expenses were $12.1 million for 1999, as compared to $11.9
million in 1998, an increase of 1.7%. The increase was due to an increase in
production.

Navy II partnership 15,070 1.9 14,808 1.9 14,025 1.8
The Navy I partnership's depreciation and amortization expense was $9.6
million for 1999, as compared to $12.1 million in 1998, a decrease of 20.7%. The
decrease was primarily due to purchase accounting adjustments. The overall
effect was a reduction in depreciation expense that was partially offset by
depreciation on 1999 additions. The BLM partnership's depreciation and
amortization expense was $15.6 million for 1999, as compared to $14.8 million
for 1998, an increase of 5.4%. The increase was due to substantial increases in
1999 asset additions, partially offset by the effect of purchase accounting
adjustments. The Navy II partnership's depreciation and amortization expense was
$14.8 million for 1999, as compared to $14.0 million in 1998, an increase of
5.7%. The increase was due to purchase accounting adjustments and depreciation
expense on 1999 asset additions.

The Navy I partnership's interest expense was $12.5 million in 2000, as

interest expense was $9.2 million in 2000, as compared to $7.3 million in 1999,
an increase of 26.0%. The Navy II partnership's interest expense was $9.1
million in 2000, as compared to $9.9 million in 1999, a decrease of 8.1%. The
increases in interest expense for the Navy I partnership and the BLM partnership
and the decrease in interest expense for the Navy II partnership for the year
2000, as compared to 1999, were the result of higher outstanding debt balances
under the $413 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.
The Navy I partnership's interest expense was $9.6 million in 1999, as
compared to $4.2 million in 1998, an increase of 128.6%. The BLM partnership's
interest expense was $7.3 million in 1999, as compared to $6.1 million in 1998,
an increase of 19.7%. The Navy II partnership's interest expense was $9.9
million in 1999, as compared to $7.9 million in 1998, an increase of 25.3%.
These increases were due to higher outstanding debt balances resulting from the
$413 million senior secured financing which closed on May 28, 1999.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections
resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers
through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its
customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have adversely
affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid the Coso partnerships
for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing
negotiations with Edison, the Coso partnerships have been unable to secure from
Edison a firm indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment
of their November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison
is prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts of
$15,234, $15,279 and $15,312 for Navy I, BLM and Navy II, respectively, has been
established for revenues earned but not yet paid as of December 31, 2000.
19
Interest Expense - Acquisition Debt
The Navy I, BLM and Navy II partnerships incurred interest expense -
acquisition debt of $2.0 million, $1.4 million, and $2.0 million, respectively
in 1999. This interest expense related to acquisition debt in the amount of
$211.5 million and was incurred on February 25, 1999 to acquire the interests of
CalEnergy in the Coso partnerships. This acquisition debt was repaid with the
proceeds of the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.
Costs Related to Acquisition Debt
The Navy I, BLM and Navy II Partnerships incurred other expenses of $1.6
million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999. These other expenses, which consist primarily of
lending, legal and other fees, related to the acquisition debt in the amount of
$211.5 million incurred on February 25, 1999 to acquire Cal Energy's interest in
the Coso Partnerships. This acquisition debt was repaid with the proceeds of the
$413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt
The Navy I, BLM and Navy II partnerships recorded a loss on the early
extinguishment of their previous debt in the amounts of $2.4 million, $1.8
million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31,
1999. This loss was due to premium and other costs incurred to repay the
existing project debt of the Coso partnerships before its scheduled maturity
date. These costs included tender premiums paid to the holders of the previous
debt and the write off of the remaining balance of deferred financing costs
related to the issuance of the previous debt. The previous debt was repaid with
the proceeds of the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Each of the Navy I partnership, the BLM partnership and the Navy II
partnership derive substantially all of their cash flow from Edison under the
power purchase agreements and from interest income earned on funds on deposit.
The Coso partnerships have used their cash primarily for capital expenditures
for power plant improvements, resource and operating costs, distributions to
partners and payments with respect to the project debt.
The Coso Partnership's ability to meet their obligations as they come due
will depend upon the ability of Edison to meet its obligations under the terms
of the standard offer No. 4 power purchase agreements. Edison's increasing
under-collections, coupled with its near term capital requirements has
materially and adversely affected its liquidity. Unless actions are taken to
restore Edison's financial condition, there is uncertainty of collection of
receivables owed to the Coso partnership for revenues generated from November
2000 forward. Edison's failure to pay its obligations will have a material
adverse effect on the Coso Partnership's ability to make debt service payments
as the come due under the Funding Corp. notes.

The following table sets forth a summary of each Coso partnership's cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2000, December 31, 1999, and December 31,

The Navy I partnership's cash flows from operating activities increased by
$4.8 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to an increase in net
income, decreases in both accounts receivable and amounts due from related
parties, partially offset by decreases in trade payables.
Cash used in investing activities at the Navy I partnership decreased by
$22.5 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to decreases in
restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp.
The Navy I partnership's cash flows from financing activities decreased by
$39.4 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan
from Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project
financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000.
The BLM partnership's cash flows from operating activities increased by
$3.1 million in 2000 as compared 1999, primarily due to increases in net income
and amounts due to related parties, and a decrease in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities at the BLM partnership decreased by $9.7
million in 2000 as compared to 1999, due to a reduction in 2000 capital
expenditures.
The BLM partnership's cash used in financing activities increased by $19.8
million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan from
Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project
financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000.
The Navy II partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by
$37.8 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to a decrease in net
income caused by the expiration of the fixed energy price period under the Navy
II Partnership's power purchase agreement in January 2000 and the receipt of
energy payments based on Edison's avoided cost of energy since that time. Under
the avoided costs of energy formula, the Navy II partnership received an average
of approximately 6.0 cents per kWh for energy delivered for the period February
2000 to December 2000. The decrease in net income was partially offset by
decreases in accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties.
21
Cash flows from investing activities at the Navy II partnership increased
by $100.9 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to a decrease in
restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp.
The Navy II partnership's cash used in financing activities increased by
$66.9 million in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to the project loan
from Funding Corp in 1999, partially offset by both lower repayments of project
financing loans and decreased distributions to partners in 2000.
The Navy I partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by
$7.5 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to financing costs

relating to the $413.0 million senior secured notes issued on May 28, 1999.
Cash used in investing activities at the Navy I partnership increased by
$16.6 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily as a result of an increase
in restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding
Corp.
The Navy I partnership's cash flows from financing activities increased by
$34.9 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, as a result of the project loan from
Funding Corp. offset by increased distributions to partners.
The BLM partnership's cash flows from operating activities decreased by
$46.0 million in 1999 as compared 1998, primarily due to a decrease in energy
revenues as a result of the switch to avoided cost in March 1999, and increased
financing costs associated with the short term debt obtained to complete the
purchase of CalEnergy's interest in the BLM partnership.
Cash used in investing activities at the BLM partnership decreased by $3.9
million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to a decrease in capital
expenditures offset by an increase in restricted cash requirements associated

transfers.
Cash used in investing activities at the Navy II partnership increased by
$51.7 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to the increase in
restricted cash requirements associated with the project loan from Funding Corp.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Risk Factors
Operating the Coso projects involves, among other things, general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are
beyond our control. Changes in these factors could make it more expensive to
operate the Coso projects, or require additional capital expenditures, or reduce
certain benefits currently available to the Coso partnerships. There are a
variety of other risks that affect the Coso projects, some of which are beyond
our control, including:
* One or more of the Coso projects could perform below expected levels of
output or efficiency;
* In light of the uncertainty of the California energy market, Edison's
financial viability is uncertain. If Edison were to enter into bankruptcy
procedures, the power purchase contracts could be amended and any accounts
receivable from Edison could be reduced or eliminated.
* The Coso geothermal resource could be interrupted or unavailable;
* Operating costs could increase;
* Energy prices paid by Edison could decrease or terminate;
* Delivery of electrical energy to Edison could be disrupted;
* Environmental problems could arise which could lead to fines or a
shutdown of one or more plants;
* Plant units and equipment have broken down or failed in the past and
could break down or fail in the future;
* The operators of the Coso projects could suffer labor disputes;
* The government could change permit or governmental approval requirements;
* Third parties could fail to perform their contractual obligations to the
Coso partnerships; and
* Catastrophic events, such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods,
severe storms or other occurrences, could affect one or more of the Coso
projects or Edison.
In addition, the Coso partnerships must meet specified performance
requirements under their respective power purchase agreements during the months
of June through September to continue to qualify for the maximum capacity and
capacity bonus payments. If one or more of the events listed above occur and
substantially affect the performance of one or more of the plants during these
months, operating revenues would be significantly decreased.

Coso Funding Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Caithness Coso Funding Corp.

flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an

statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Caithness Coso Funding Corp. as

On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. sold $413,000 of senior secured notes (see
note 4). Pursuant to separate credit agreements between Funding Corp. and
each partnership (Credit Agreements), the net proceeds from the offering of
the Notes were loaned to the Partnerships. Payment of the Notes is provided
for by payments made by the Partnerships under their respective project
loans (see note 3). Funding Corp. has no material assets, other than the
project loans, and does not conduct any operations apart from issuing the
Notes and making the project loans to the Partnerships.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
stockholders equity, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Basedon quoted market rates of the senior secured notes, the fair value of
the project loans and underlying Notes as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are
$26,796 and $108,900, respectively, for the Notes maturing in 2001, and
$322,979 and $301,485, respectively, for the Notes maturing in 2009.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. " In June 2000,FASB issued
SFAS No. 138, "Accounting For Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and addressed certain
implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that
changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company does not
have any derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 133,
as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on
Funding Corp's financial statements.
(3) Project Loans to the Partnerships
Pursuant to each Credit Agreement, each partnership shall make project loan
payments in scheduled installment amounts which, in the aggregate, are
sufficient to enable Funding Corp. to pay scheduled principal and interest
on the Notes (see note 4).
The Notes are general obligations of Funding Corp., and are secured and
perfected by: (1)first priority pledge of the promissory notes evidencing
each partnership's obligation to repay the loan; (2) first priority lien on
the funds in the debt service cash accounts of the Partnerships; and (3)
first priority pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of Funding
Corp. These obligations are unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnerships
and are secured and perfected by substantially all assets of the
Partnerships and the equity interests in the Partnerships. Funding Corp.,
CPD, CED, and CFP are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the
Notes.
(4) Senior Secured Notes
On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. completed a $413,000 underwritten public
debt offering consisting of $110,000 6.8% senior secured notes due 2001 and
$303,000 9.05% senior secured notes due 2009. The Notes were issued under
an indenture dated as of May 28, 1999 between Funding Corp. and the
trustee, U.S. Bank Trust NA. Payment of the Notes is provided for by
payments to be made by the Partnerships on their respective project loans
(see note 3). Interest is payable each June 15 and December 15. As of
December 15, 2000 and 1999, the principal payments of $30,268 were made and
$52,665 was available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid the
$52,665 to the noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the
principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from lack of
performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnerships, and Funding
Corps. management believes this is not an event of default.
The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending
December 31 is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
------------------------------------- -------------
2001 $ 27,067
2002 21,771
2003 27,618
2004 31,332
2005 35,480
Thereafter 186,799
-------------
$ 330,067
=============
The Note indentures contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, release funds
from reserve accounts, make distributions, create loans, and enter into any
transaction, merger, or consolidation.
(5) Stockholders Equity
Funding Corp. is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par
value per share. Upon incorporating in 1999, Funding Corp. issued 100
common shares each to CFP, CED, and CPD.
(6) Risks and Uncertainties
The Partnerships future result of operations involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance betweeen
supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases
in wholesale electricity prices in California. Southern California Edison
(Edison)is the only customer of the Partnerships. Edison had previously
agreed to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly
below the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in
significant under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs.
On January 16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending
payments for energy provided, including the energy provided by the
Partnerships, pending a permanent solution to its liquidity crisis.
In 2001, the Partnerships have continued to sell electricity under their
existing Power Purchase Contracts with Edison. The State of California is
expected to enact a law that will, among other things, provide for
long-term price stability and payments to qualifying facilities, such as
the Partnerships. Under the draft legislation currently being considered by
the California legislature, the Partnerships believe that they will
ultimately collect a sufficient amount of revenue from their electricity
sales to fund their operations.

Independent Auditors Report
The Partners and Management Committee
Coso Finance Partners:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Finance Partners as of,
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners
capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The
combined financial statements of Coso Finance Partners and Coso Finance Partners
II as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors
whose report, dated February 12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Finance
Partners as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999,
Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not
already owned by its affiliates, ESCA LLC and ESCA II Limited Partnership, in a
business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the
acquisition, the financial information for the period after the acquisition is
presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the
acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

COSO FINANCE PARTNERS
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
(1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnerships
Coso Finance Partners (CFP or the Partnership) and Coso Finance Partners II
(CFP II) were formed on July 7, 1987 in connection with the refinancing of
the construction of a 30-net-megawatt (NMW) geothermal power plant and the
expansion of that power plant from 30 NMW to approximately 80 NMW,
constructed on behalf of China Lake Joint Venture (CLJV) on land at the
China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, Coso Hot Springs, China Lake,
California.
CFP acquired the assets and assume the liabilities of CLJV insofar as they
related to the first turbine generator set of the power plant and the
related geothermal resources. CFP II acquired the assets and assumed the
liabilities of CLJV insofar as they related to the second and third turbine
generator sets, together with the related geothermal resources. The three
turbine generators that comprise the power plant have the capacity to
produce an aggregate of approximately 80 NMWs. CFP and CFP II were formed
as separate entities in order to facilitate bank financing of the completed
power plant and power plants under construction, respectively. In 1988, CFP
II assigned its assets and liabilities to CFP in exchange for a royalty of
5% of the value of the steam produced.
During 1999, CFP merged with CFP II with CFP surviving as a general
partnership owned by ESCA LLC (ESCA) and New CLOC Company, LLC (New CLOC),
both Delaware limited liability companies. CFP and CFP II were general
partnerships between China Lake Operating Company (CLOC), a Delaware
corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy Company, Inc. (CalEnergy), now known
as MidAmerican Energy Holding Company and ESCA, and China Lake Geothermal
Management Company (CLGMC), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by
CalEnergy, and ESCA II Limited Partnership (ESCA II), respectively. ESCA
was a California limited liability company between Caithness Geothermal
1980, Ltd., Caithness Power, L.L.C., and ESI Geothermal, Inc. (ESI) (a
subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc.). ESCA II was a California limited
partnership between Caithness Geothermal 1980, Ltd., Mojave Power II, Inc.
and ESI Geothermal II, Inc. (a subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc.).
On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC and an affiliate of ESCA and ESCA
II, purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CLOC and CLGMC (see note 3)
and formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, New CLOC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and New CLGMC Company (New CLGMC), a Delaware limited
liability company. In May of 1999, CFP II merged into CFP, ESCA II merged
into ESCA, and New CLGMC merged into New CLOC. In October 1999, CAC
purchased all of ESI's interest in ESCA and ESCA II. The new managing
partner of CFP became New CLOC.
Since CFP and CFP II operated under common ownership and management
control, the statements of operations and cash flows of CFP and CFP II for
the year ended December 31, 1998 have been combined after elimination of
intercompany amounts.
The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California
Edison (Edison) under a 24-year power purchase contract expiring in 2011.
Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CFP as follows:
* Contractual payments for energy delivered, which payments escalated at an
average rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date
of firm operation (scheduled energy price period). After the scheduled
energy price period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided
energy cost experienced by Edison. In August 1997, the Partnership
completed the first ten-year period. At that time, Edison ceased paying the
scheduled energy rates. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95
cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of
energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict
the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 24-year power
purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the
Partnership could fluctuate significantly;
* Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the
extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant
capacity defined in the contract; and
* Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds 85% of
the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the
bonus payments aggregated $2,250, $1,345, and $1,510, respectively.
CalEnergy served as the operator for CEP, maintaining the accounting
records and operating the plant day-to-day, until February 1, 1999 at which
time Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability
company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance
agreements with CLOC, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned
subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all
of its interest and rights in COC to CAC, which became manager and sole
member.
On February 25, 1999, CFP entered into two operating and maintenance
agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with
COC. The initial term of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was
for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the
geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission
line. The term of the COC agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide
field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October
17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became
the sole operator of all Partnership operations.
At formation, and as subsequently amended, the terms of the partnership
agreements provided that distributable cash flow before "payout" was
allocated 10% to CLOC as managing partner and 90% in proportion to the
remaining sums necessary to be distributed to each partner to achieve
payout. "Payout" occurred in June 1996 and is defined as the point at which
each partner had received aggregate cash distributions from the 90%
allocation in amounts equal to their accumulated cash contributions plus
amounts equal to 10% simple interest on the cash contributions. For
purposes of allocating net income to partners capital accounts, profits
and losses are allocated based on the aforementioned percentages. For
income tax purposes, certain deductions and credits are subject to special
allocations as defined in the partnership agreements. Cash flow after
"payout" is allocated 53.6% and 46.4% to ESCA and New CLOC (formerly
CLOC/CLGMC), respectively.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for
electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC). In
addition, the U.S. Navy (Navy) reimburses CFP for electricity paid on their
behalf (see note 6). As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the balance due from
the Navy was $477 and $480, respectively.
Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which
electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the
payment rates scheduled in CFP's PPC with Edison through August 1997. After
August 1997, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy cost.
In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections
resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers
through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its
customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have
adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CFP
for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing
negotiations with Edison, CFP has been unable to secure from Edison a firm
indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment of their
November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is
prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was
established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,234.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while
replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the
lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
Depreciation of the operating power plant and transmission line is computed
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 30 years and,
for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the
plant's commencement of operations.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with 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"), an impairment loss is
recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not
recoverable. The Partnership considers historical performance and future
estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then
compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows
before interest charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the
impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.
The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected
future cash flows at the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate
potential investments. The Partnership estimates fair value based on the
best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as
considered necessary.
Start-Up Activities
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities." SOP No.98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption,
costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and
reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and
further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as
incurred. CFP adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable
unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of
CFP. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $923.
Wells and Resource Development Costs
The Partnership follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs
incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal
resources. All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the cost of
drilling and equipping production wells, and administrative and interest
costs directly attributable to the project, are capitalized and amortized
over their estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated
useful lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and
development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years
and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the
plant's commencement of operations.
Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs
Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period
between overhauls as these costs extend the useful life of the respective
assets. These deferred costs of $497 and $292 at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment.
Currently, plant overhauls are amortized over three to four years from the
point of completion.
Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred. For the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were $42, $47, and
$8, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 balance sheet and the
1999 and 1998 statements of operations and cash flows to conform to the
2000 presentation.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan
fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the
related financing. In 1999 fees of $1,984 associated with certain
short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs related to
acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new deferred
financing costs of $4,122. The $215 balance of the deferred financing costs
at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced project debt was
included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of the refinancing
(see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
$893 and $373, respectively.
Income Taxes
There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the
responsibility of the partners.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
money market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Investments
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were
classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Restricted
cash and investments include a capital expenditure reserve and a sinking
fund, related to a lump-sum royalty payment of $25,000 to be paid to the
Navy in 2009 (see note 6) totaling $9,838 and $8,583 at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. This account comprised various mortgage-backed
securities with maturities ranging from 2000 through 2005. Restricted cash
and investments also includes a sinking fund for the project debt service
required by the project loans (see note 7). The carrying amount of
restricted cash and investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated
fair value, which is based on quoted market prices as provided by the
financial institution which holds the investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and
partners capital and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, and allocation of profits and losses during the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related
parties, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because
of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $132,103 and
$150,647, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior
secured notes and the Coso Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7).
The investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc. approximates the fair
value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 (SFAS No. 133),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June
2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and
addressed certain implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended requires
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires
that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership
does not have any derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS
No. 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect
on the Partnership's financial statements.
(3) Acquisition Accounting
On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CFP and
CFP II, Coso Energy Developers (CED), and Coso Power Developers (CPD),
collectively known as the Coso Partnerships, for approximately $205,500 in
cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately $139,800. The purchase
price allocated to CFP was approximately $62,000 plus the assumption of
debt of approximately $40,600. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded. After CAC's purchase of
CalEnergy's interest in CFP, a new basis of accounting was adopted and,
therefore, the financial information for the period after the acquisition
is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the
acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.
The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and
liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair value, with the
amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being
allocated to long-lived assets on a pro rata basis. These adjustments
resulted in a net decrease of $24,316 in the recorded amounts of property,
plant, and equipment, and an increase of $14,344 in the recorded amounts
for the power purchase contract. The power purchase contract is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the power
purchase contract of 12.5 years as of the date of acquisition. Accumulated
amortization on the power purchase contract at December 31, 2000 and 1999
was $2,104 and $956, respectively.
(4) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc.
China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CFP, CED, and
CPD. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are
held by CLPSI. CFP's investment in CLPSI represents funds advanced for the
purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory
held by CLPSI on behalf of CFP is valued at the lower of cost or market.
(5) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the
following:
2000 1999
---- ----
Power plant and gathering system $ 154,506 151,282
Transmission line 5,746 5,705
Wells and resource development costs 68,466 68,170
------ ------
228,718 225,157
Less accumulated depreciation and
amortization (79,642) (71,278)
------- -------
$ 149,076 153,879
======= =======
The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs
of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the
Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison
substation at Victorville, California.
(6) Royalty Expense
Royalty expense is summarized as follows:
2000 1999 1998
------ ------ -----
Unit 1 $ 3,824 3,852 3,114
Units 2 and 3 7,097 6,305 3,710
------ ------ -----
Total $ 10,921 10,157 6,824
====== ====== =====
The power plant is located on land owned by the Navy and governed under the
terms of a 30-year contract. To develop geothermal energy on its lands, CFP
pays a royalty for the first turbine unit only by paying the Navy's monthly
Edison bill for specified quantities of electricity and, in return, is
reimbursed at a set rate for such quantities of electricity. During 2000,
1999, and 1998, CFP was reimbursed for approximately 76% of the amount of
the Nav's Edison bills paid by CFP. The royalties for the second and third
turbines increased from 10% of related revenues to 15% in December 1998 and
will increase to 20% in December 2003.
In addition, CFP is required to pay the Navy $25,000 in December 2009, the
date the contract expires. The payment is secured by funds placed on
deposit monthly, which funds plus accrued interest will aggregate $25,000.
Currently, the monthly amount to be deposited is approximately $60. The
balance included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $9,862 and $8,583, respectively.
(7) Project Loans
In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CFP and CFP
II, CAC arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which
approximately $77,610 was allocated to CFP. As a result of "push-down"
accounting, the short-term debt was reflected in the financial statement of
CFP and was repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the
offering of senior secured notes. Financing costs associated with the
short-term financing are included in interest expense - acquisition debt.
On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised
$413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned
approximately $151,550 to CFP from the $413,000 debt raised from the
offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the
senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $29,000 at 6.80% and
another of $122,550 at 9.05% with payments due at various dates through
December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December
15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $5,556 was
available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the
noteholders on January 19, 2000. The trustee's failure to make the
principal payment on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of
performance on the part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership, and the
Partnership's management believes this is not an event of default.
Furthermore, all related penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through
this financing the existing project loan and short-term financing of
approximately $118,176 were repaid and an extraordinary loss of
approximately $2,375 from the early extinguishment of this debt was
incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium and other costs
incurred to pay the existing project loan before its maturity date.
The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31
is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------------- ----------------
2001 $ 12,434
2002 11,597
2003 13,408
2004 10,694
2005 15,100
Thereafter 71,751
----------------
$ 134,984
================
The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things,
limit the Partnershi's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release
funds from reserve accounts, make distributions, create liens, and enter
into any transaction of merger or consolidation.
The Partnership, Funding Corp., CPD, and CED are jointly and severally
liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes.
The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending
December 31 is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------------- ----------------
2001 $ 27,067
2002 21,771

COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of
CFP. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of CFP
geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an
operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of
operating expenses. The amount due to COC relates to reimbursements for
payment of operating expenses.
Both CalEnergy and ESCA were reimbursed at approved amounts for their
respective costs incurred in relation to the CFP Management Committee. For
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-,
$25, and $147, respectively, while ESCA received $-0-, $129, and $221,
respectively.
As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fee was eliminated and
replaced by a non-managing fee payable to ESCA. For the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, ESCA received $234 and $129, respectively.
The amount due to Funding Corp. is accrued interest for fifteen days in
December related to the project loans.
The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for
payments of operating expenses.
CFP is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the
expenses of operating CLPSI. The charges to CFP from CLPSI in 2000, 1999,
and 1998 were approximately $43, $65, and $532, respectively.
During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements
under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting
incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships.
In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants
were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CFP steam sharing
revenue, net of royalties and other related costs, amounted to $5,962,
$17,579, and $17,556 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
(9) Settlement of Litigation
In February 2000, the Partnership, CED, and CPD reached a settlement with
Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case
has not been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under the
settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement will be allocated among
the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the purchase
accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in the
Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to
settlement of litigation and related expenses.
In June 1999, the Partnership, CED, CPD, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji
Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement.
Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various
equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships.
(10) Risks and Uncertainties
The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between
supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases
in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed
to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below
the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant
under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January
16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for
energy provided, including the energy provided by CFP, pending a permanent
solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2).
In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its
existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a
law that will, among other things, provide for long-term price stability
and payments to qualifying facilities, such as the Partnership. Under the
draft legislation currently being considered by the California legislature,
the Partnership believes that it will ultimately collect a sufficient
amount of revenue from its electricity sales to fund its operations.

Independent Auditors Report
The Partners and Management Committee
Coso Energy Developers:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Energy Developers as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The
financial statements of Coso Energy Developers as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February
12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Energy
Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999,
Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not
already owned by its affiliates, Caithness Coso Holdings LLC, in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the
financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a
different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and,
therefore, is not comparable.

CAITHNESS ENERGY DEVELOPERS.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnership
Coso Energy Developers (CED or the Partnership) was founded on March 31,
1988, in connection with financing the construction of a geothermal power
plant on land leased from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at Coso
Hot Springs, China Lake, California. CED is a general partnership owned by
Caithness Coso Holdings, LLC (CCH), a California limited liability company
and, until February 25, 1999, Coso Hotsprings Intermountain Powers, Inc.
(CHIP), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy Company, Inc.
(CalEnergy), now known as MidAmerican Energy Holding Company. On February
25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC and an affiliate of CCH, purchased all
of CalEnergy's interest in CHIP (see note 3) and formed a wholly owned
subsidiary, New CHIP Company, LLC (New CHIP), a Delaware limited liability
company, to become the new managing general partner of CED.
The CED power plants are located on land owned by the BLM. There are
turbine generators located at both the East and West power locks. CED pays
royalties to BLM of 10% of the value of the steam produced.
The primary BLM geothermal lease had an initial term of ten years (1998)
and thereafter is subject to automatic extension until October 31, 2035, so
long as geothermal steam is commercially produced. In addition, the lease
may be extended to 2075 at the option of the BLM. Coso Land Company (CLC),
the original leaseholder, retained a 5% overriding royalty interest based
on the value of the steam produced. CLC was a joint venture between
CalEnergy and an affiliate of CCH. On February 25, 1999, CalEnergy
transferred all its interest and rights in CLC to CAC.
The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California
Edison (Edison) under a 30-year power purchase contract expiring in 2019.
Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CED as follows:
* Contractual payments for energy delivered, which payments escalated at an
average rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date
of firm operation (scheduled energy price period). After the scheduled
energy price period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided
energy cost experienced by Edison. In March of 1999, the Partnership
completed the ten-year fixed price payment period and Edison ceased paying
the scheduled energy rates. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999,
and 1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95
cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of
energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict
the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 30-year power
purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the
Partnership could fluctuate significantly;
* Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the
extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant
capacity defined in the contract; and
* Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivery exceeds 85% of
the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the
bonus aggregated $2,230, $2,200, and $2,124, respectively.
CalEnergy served as the operator for CED, maintaining the accounting
records and operating the plant day-to-day, until February 1, 1999 at which
time when Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability
company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance
agreements with CHIP, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned
subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all
of its interest and right in COC to CAC, which became its manager and sole
member.
On February 25, 1999, CED entered into two operating and maintenance
agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with
COC. The initial term of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was
for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the
geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission
line. The term of the COC agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide
field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October
17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became
the sole operator of all Partnership operations.
At formation, and as subsequently amended, the partnership agreement
provided that distributable cash flow before "payout" was allocated 3.81%
to CHIP as managing partner and 96.19% allocated in proportion to the
remaining sums necessary to be distributed to each partner to achieve
payout. "Payout" was defined as the point at which each partner had
received aggregate cash distributions from the 96.19% allocation in amounts
equal to their accumulated capital contributions. Cash flow after "payout,"
which occurred in June 1994, is allocated 48% to New CHIP (formerly CHIP)
and 52% to CCH. For purposes of allocating net income to partners capital
accounts, profits and losses are allocated based on the aforementioned
capital percentages. For income tax purposes, certain deductions and
credits are subject to special allocations as defined in the partnership
agreement.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for
electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC).
Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which
electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the
payment rates scheduled in CED's PPC with Edison through March 1999. After
March 1999, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy cost.
In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections
resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers
through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its
customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have
adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CED
for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing
negotiations with Edison, CED has been unable to secure from Edison a firm
indication of the time frame during which it can expect payment of its
November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is
prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was
established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,279.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while
replacements; maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the
life of the respective assets are expensed currently.
Depreciation of the power plant and transmission line is computed on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 30 years and, for
significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's
commencement of operations.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with 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"), an impairment loss is
recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not
recoverable. The Partnership considers historical performance and future
estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then
compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows
before interest charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the
impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.
The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected
future cash flows at the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate
potential investments. The Partnership estimates fair value based on the
best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as
considered necessary.
Start-Up Activities
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No.98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities." SOP No. 98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption,
costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and
reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and
further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as
incurred. CED adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable
unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of
CED. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $953.
Wells and Resource Development Costs
CED follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs incurred in
connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources.
All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the cost of drilling and
equipping production wells, and administrative and interest costs directly
attributable to the project are capitalized and amortized over their
estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated useful
lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and
development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years
and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the
plant's commencement of operations.
Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs
Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period
between overhauls as these costs extend the life of the respective assets.
These deferred costs of $100 and $271 at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment. Currently,
plant overhauls are amortized over three years from the point of
completion.
Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred during the
year. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were
$653, $676, and $669, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 balance sheet and the
1999 and 1998 statements of operations and cash flows to conform to the
2000 presentation.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan
fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the
related financing. On February 25, 1999, the fees of $1,408 associated with
certain short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs
related to acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new
deferred financing costs of $3,032. The $148 balance of the deferred
financing costs at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced
project debt was included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of
the refinancing (see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000
and 1999 was $552 and $234, respectively.
Income Taxes
There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the
responsibility of the partners.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, CED considers all money
market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Investments
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were
classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Included in
restricted cash and investments are capital expenditure reserves and
sinking fund requirements for the project debt service required by the
projects loan (see note 7). The carrying amount of restricted cash and
investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated fair value, which is
based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial institution,
which holds the investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and
partners capital and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, and the allocation of profits and losses during the period.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related
parties approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because
of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $98,694 and
$107,302, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior
secured notes and the COSO Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7).
The investments in Coso Transmission Line Partners and China Lake Plant
Services, Inc. approximate the fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 2000, FASB
issued SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS 133 and addressed certain
implementation issues. SFAS 133, as amended, requires that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership does not have any
derivative instruments and therefore the adoption of SFAS 133, as amended,
in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on the Partnership's
financial statements.
(3) Acquisition Accounting
On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CED,
Coso Power Developers (CPD), Coso Finance Partners (CFP), and Coso Finance
Partners II (CFP II), collectively known as the Coso partnerships, for
approximately $205,500 in cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately
$139,800. Allocated to CED from the purchase price was approximately
$69,000 plus the assumption of debt of approximately $37,900. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill
was recorded. After CAC's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CED, a new
basis of accounting was adopted and, therefore, the financial information
for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis
than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not
comparable.
The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and
liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with the
amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being
allocated to long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis. These adjustments
resulted in a net decrease of $29,304 in the recorded amounts of property,
plant, and equipment and an increase of $21,443 in the recorded amounts for
the power purchase contract. The power purchase contract is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the power purchase
contract of 20 years as of the date of acquisition. Accumulated
amortization on the power purchase contract at December 31, 2000 and 1999
was $1,933 and $894, respectively.
(4) Investment in Coso Transmission Line Partners
Coso Transmission Line Partners (CTLP) is a partnership, between CED and
CPD, which owns the transmission line and facilities connecting the power
plants owned by CED and CPD to the transmission line, owned by Edison, at
Inyokern, California, located 28 miles south of the plants. CTLP charges
CED and CPD for the use of the transmission line at amounts sufficient for
CTLP to recover its operating costs. These charges are recorded by CED as
operating expenses and reflected as a reduction in CED's investment in
CTLP.
(5) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc.
China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CED, CPD, and
CFP. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are
held by CLPSI. CED's investments in CLPSI represent funds advanced for the
purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory
held by CLPSI on behalf of CED is valued at the lower of cost or market.
(6) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the
following:
2000 1999
---- ----
Power plant and gathering system $ 146,500 146,327
Transmission line 9,120 9,120
Wells and resources development costs 82,624 81,736
-------- --------
238,244 237,183
Less accumulated depreciation and
amortization (84,626) (71,533)
-------- --------
$ 153,618 165,650
======== ========
The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs
of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the
Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison
substation at Victorville, California.
(7) Project Loan
In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CED, CAC
arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which $55,256 was
allocated to CED. As a result of "push-down" accounting, the short-term
debt was reflected in the financial statement of CED and was repaid on
May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior
secured notes. Financing costs associated with the short-term financing are
included in interest expense-acquisition debt.
On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised
$413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned
approximately $107,900 to CED from the $413,000 debt raised from the
offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the
senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $11,650 at 6.80% and
another of $96,250 at 9.05%, with payments due at various dates through
December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December
15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $4,105 was
available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the
noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the principal payment
on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of performance on the
part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership and the Partnership's management
believes this is not an event of default. Furthermore, all related
penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through this financing the
existing project loan and short-term financing loans of $93,214 were repaid
and an extraordinary loss of approximately $1,822 from the early
extinguishment of this debt was incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to
a premium and other costs incurred to pay the existing project loan before
its maturity date.
The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31
is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------- -------
2001 $ 4,657
2002 6,375
2003 5,055
2004 9,920
2005 8,683
Thereafter 66,217
-------
$ 100,907
=======
The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that among other things,
limit the Partnership's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release
funds from reserve accounts, make distributions, create liens, and enter
into any transaction of merger or consolidation.
The Partnership, Funding Corp., CPD, and CFP are jointly and severally
liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes.
The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending
December 31 is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------- --------
2001 $ 27,067
2002 21,771

COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of
CED. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of CED
geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an
operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of
operating expenses. The amount due to COC relates to reimbursements for
payments of operating expenses.
Both CCH and CalEnergy were reimbursed at approved amounts for their
respective costs incurred in relation to the CED Management Committee. For
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-,
$25, and $148, respectively, while CCH received $-0-, $130, and $223,
respectively.
As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fees were eliminated, and
replaced by a non-managing fee payable to CCH. For the years ended December
31, 2000 and 1999, CCH received $234 and $129, respectively.
As indicated in note 1, CLC is entitled to a royalty of 5% of the value of
steam used by CED to produce the electricity sold to Edison. The royalty
due CLC for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $1,195,
$771, and $3,057, respectively. Payment of royalties due to CLC is
subordinated to payment of the project loans (see note 7).
CED is charged for its use of the transmission line owned by CTLP. The
amount of such net charges was $110, $115, and $115 for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
CED is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the
expenses of operating CLPSI. The 2000, 1999, and 1998 costs charged to CED
from CLPSI were approximately $359, $143, and $1,350, respectively.
The amount due to Caithness Coso Funding Corp. represents accrued interest
for fifteen days in December related to the project loans (see note 7).
The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for
payments of operating expenses.
On December 16, 1992, CED retired CLC's promissory note due CalEnergy,
resulting in the loan from CED to CLC of $141. Interest was accrued on this
loan for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 at 10.0%, 12.5%,
and 12.5%, respectively. Interest on the note was $34, $34, and $34 in
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements
under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting
incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships.
In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants
were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CED steam sharing
resulted in an expense, net of royalties and other related costs for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 of $2,712, $6,103, and
$14,898, respectively.
(9) Settlement of Litigation
In February 2000, the Partnership, CFP, and CPD reached a settlement with
Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case
has not yet been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under
the settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement was allocated among
the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the purchase
accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in the
Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to
settlement of litigation and related expenses.
In June 1999, the Partnership, CFP, CPD, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji
Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement.
Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various
equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships.
In December 1999, the Partnership and Dow Chemical Company (Dow) entered
into a confidential settlement agreement which was effective January 1,
2000, to resolve CED's claim to recover damages incurred related to an
installation in 1992 by Dow of a hydrogen sulfide abatement system.
(10) Risk and Uncertainties
The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between
supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases
in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed
to fixed tariffs with its retail customers that were significantly below
the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant
under-recoveries by Edison of its electricity purchase costs. On January
16, 2001, Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for
energy provided, including the energy provided by CED, pending a permanent
solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2).
In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its
existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a
law that will among other things, provide for long-term price stability,
and payments to qualifying facilities, such as, the Partnership. Under the
draft legislation currently being considered by the California Legislature,
the Partnership believes that it will ultimately collect a sufficient
amount of revenue from its electricity sales to fund its operations.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coso Power Developers as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The
financial statements of Coso Power Developers as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February
12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2000 and 1999 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coso Power
Developers as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, effective February 25, 1999,
Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC acquired all of the partnership interest not
already owned by its affiliates, Navy II Group LLC, in a business combination
accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the financial
information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different
cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is
not comparable.

To the Partners of Coso Power Developers
In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash
flows of Coso Power Developers for the year ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

CAITHNESS POWER DEVELOPERS
Notes to Financial Statement
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) Organization, Operation, and Business of the Partnership
Coso Power Developers (CPD or the Partnership) was formed on July 31, 1989
in connection with financing the construction of a geothermal power plant
on land at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station at Coso Hot Springs,
China Lake, California. CPD is a general partnership between Caithness Navy
II Group LLC (Navy II), a New Jersey limited liability company, and, until
February 25, 1999, Coso Technology Corporation (CTC), a Delaware
corporation wholly owned by CalEnergy, Inc. (CalEnergy), now known as
MidAmerica Energy Holdings Company. On February 25, 1999, Caithness
Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Caithness
Energy, LLC and an affiliate of Navy II, purchased all of CalEnergy's
interest in CTC (see note 3) and formed a wholly owned subsidiary, New CTC
Company, LLC (New CTC), a Delaware limited liability company, to become the
new managing general partner of CPD.
The power plant is located on land owned by the U.S. Navy. Under the terms
of a 30-year contract with the U.S. Navy to develop geothermal energy on
its land, CPD pays a royalty to the U.S. Navy which was initially 4% of
revenues, increased to 10% of revenues at December 31, 1998, and is
currently 18% of revenues (as of December 24, 1999). The royalty will
increase to 20% of revenues after December 15, 2004. The U.S. Navy contract
will expire in 2010.
The Partnership sells all electricity produced to Southern California
Edison (Edison) under a 20-year power purchase contract expiring in 2010.
Under the terms of this contract, Edison makes payments to CPD as follows:
* Contractual payments for energy delivered, which escalated at an average
rate of approximately 7.6% for the first ten years after the date of firm
operation (scheduled energy price period). The scheduled energy price
period extended until January 2000. After the scheduled energy price
period, the energy payment adjusted to the actual avoided energy cost
experienced by Edison. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, Edison's average avoided cost of energy was 5.80, 3.13, and 2.95
cents per kwh, respectively. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of
energy vary substantially from year to year. The Partnership cannot predict
the likely level of avoided cost of energy prices under the 20-year power
purchase contract and, accordingly, the revenues generated by the
Partnership could fluctuate significantly;
* Capacity payments which remain fixed over the life of the contract to the
extent that actual energy delivered exceeds minimum levels of the plant
capacity defined in the contract; and
* Bonus payments to the extent that actual energy delivered exceeds 85% of
the plant capacity stated in the contract. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, the
bonus payments aggregated $2,248, $2,248, and $2,242, respectively.
CalEnergy served as the operator for CPD, maintaining the accounting
records and operating the plant day to day, until February 1, 1999, at
which time Coso Operating Company LLC (COC), a Delaware limited liability
company, became operator pursuant to certain operations and maintenance
agreements with CTC, the managing general partner. COC was a wholly owned
subsidiary of CalEnergy until February 25, 1999 when CalEnergy assigned all
of its interest and right in COC to CAC, which became manager and sole
member.
On February 25, 1999, CPD entered into two operating and maintenance
agreements, one with FPL Operating Services, Inc. (FPL) and a second with
COC. The initial terms of the FPL operating and maintenance agreement was
for three years, to provide for the operation and maintenance of the
geothermal power facilities and the interconnection to the transmission
line. The term of the COC Agreement is through December 31, 2009 to provide
field services and administrative services for the Partnership. On October
17, 1999, the operating agreement with FPL was terminated and COC became
the sole operator of all Partnership operations.
At formation, and as subsequently amended, the partnership agreement
provides that cash flows before and after "payout," are allocated 50% each
to New CTC (formerly CTC) and Navy II. "Payout," which has occurred, is
defined as the point at which each partner received aggregate cash
distributions in an amount equal to their accumulated capital
contributions. For purposes of allocating net income to partners capital
accounts and for income tax purposes, profits and losses are allocated
based on the aforementioned capital percentages.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from Edison for
electricity delivered and sold under the Power Purchase Contract (PPC).
Operating revenues are recognized as income during the period in which
electricity is delivered to Edison. Revenue was recognized based on the
payment rates scheduled in CPD's PPC with Edison, through January 2000.
After January 2000, revenue is recognized based on Edison's avoided energy
cost.
In recent months, Edison has experienced significant undercollections
resulting from the difference between revenues received from its customers
through currently frozen rates and the cost of producing service to its
customers, including procurement costs. Those undercollections have
adversely affected Edison's liquidity and in turn they have not paid CPD
for November and December revenues. Despite extensive and continuing
negotiations with Edison, CPD has been unable to secure from Edison a firm
indication of the time frame during which they can expect payment of their
November and December receivables, nor the amount, if any, that Edison is
prepared to pay. Therefore, an allowance for uncollectible amounts was
established as of December 31, 2000, which totaled $15,312.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized, while
replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the
life of the respective assets are expensed currently.
Depreciation of the power plant and transmission line is computed on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 30 years and, for
significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the plant's
commencement of operations.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with 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), an impairment loss is recognized
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amounts of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is not recoverable.
The Partnership considers historical performance and future estimated
results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the
carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows before interest
charges, the Partnership measures the amount of the impairment by comparing
the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair
value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at
the rate the Partnership utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The
Partnership estimates fair value based on the best information available
using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary.
Start-Up Activities
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No.98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities." SOP No.98-5 requires that, at the effective date of adoption,
costs of start-up activities previously capitalized be expensed and
reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, and
further requires that such costs subsequent to adoption be expensed as
incurred. CPD adopted this standard in 1998 and expensed applicable
unamortized costs previously capitalized in connection with the start-up of
CPD. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was
$1,664.
Wells and Resource Development Costs
CPD follows the full-cost method of accounting for costs incurred in
connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources.
All such costs, which include dry hole costs, the costs of drilling and
equipping production wells, and administrative and interest costs directly
attributable to the project, are capitalized and amortized over their
estimated useful lives when production commences. The estimated useful
lives of production wells are 10 years each; exploration costs and
development costs, other than production wells, are amortized over 30 years
and, for significant additions, the remainder of the 30-year life from the
plant's commencement of operations.
Deferred Plant Overhaul Costs and Well Rework Costs
Plant overhaul costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated period
between overhauls as these costs extend the useful life of the respective
assets. These deferred costs of $333 and $97 at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, are included in property, plant, and equipment. Currently,
plant overhauls are amortized over three years from the point of
completion.
Production and injection rework costs are expensed as incurred. For the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the costs were $32, $101,
and $83, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 1998 statements of
operations and cash flows to conform to the 2000 presentation.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of loan
fees and other costs of financing that are amortized over the term of the
related financing. In 1999, fees of $1,473 associated with certain
short-term financing were fully expensed and included in costs related to
acquisition debt, and a refinancing of this debt resulted in new deferred
financing costs of $4,175. The $179 balance of the deferred financing costs
at the date of acquisition related to the refinanced project debt was
included in the extraordinary loss recorded at the time of the refinancing
(see note 7). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
$1,320 and $551, respectively.
Income Taxes
There is no provision for income taxes since such taxes are the
responsibility of the partners.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, CPD considers all money
market instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Investments
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of the Partnership's investments were
classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Included in
restricted cash and investments are capital expenditure reserves and
sinking fund requirements for the project debt service required by the
project loans (see note 7). The carrying amount of restricted cash and
investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated fair value, which is
based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial institution
which holds the investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
partners capital, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, and the allocation of profits and losses during the reportable
period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses and other assets, amounts due from related parties,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related
parties approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because
of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The project loans as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999 have an estimated fair value of $93,866 and
$152,435, respectively, based on the quoted market price of the senior
secured notes and the Coso Funding Corp. notes, respectively (see note 7).
The investments in Coso Transmission Line Partners and China Lake Plant
Services, Inc. approximate fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,"Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 2000, FASB issued
SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities," which amended SFAS No. 133 and addressed certain
implementation issues. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that
changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Partnership does not
have any derivative instruments and therefore, the adoption of SFAS No.
133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001, will not have any effect on
the Partnership's financial statements.
(3) Acquisition Accounting
On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of CalEnergy's interest in CPD,
Coso Energy Developers (CED), Coso Finance Partners (CFP), and Coso Finance
Partners II (CFP II), collectively known as the Coso Partnerships, for
approximately $205,500 in cash plus the assumption of debt of approximately
$139,800. The purchase price allocated to CPD was approximately $74,500
plus the assumption of debt of approximately $61,300. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method, and no goodwill was recorded.
After CAC's purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CPD, a new basis of
accounting was adopted and, therefore, the financial information for the
period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than
that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not
comparable.
The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets and
liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with the
amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price being
allocated to long-lived assets on a pro rata basis. These adjustments
resulted in a net decrease of $33,536 in the recorded amounts for the value
of property, plant, and equipment and an increase of $30,738 in the
recorded amounts for the power purchase contract. The power purchase
contract is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining
term of the power purchase contract of 11 years as of the date of
acquisition. Accumulated amortization on the power purchase contract at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $5,124 and $2,329, respectively.
(4) Investment in Coso Transmission Line Partners
Coso Transmission Line Partners (CTLP) is a partnership between CPD and
CED, which owns the transmission line and facilities connecting the power
plants owned by CPD and CED to the transmission line, owned by Edison, at
Inyokern, California, located 28 miles south of the plants. CTLP charges
CPD and CED for the use of the transmission line at amounts sufficient for
CTLP to recover its operating costs. These charges are recorded by CPD as
operating expenses and reflected as a reduction in CPD's investment in
CTLP.
(5) Investment in China Lake Plant Services, Inc.
China Lake Plant Services, Inc. (CLPSI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CAC. CLPSI purchases, stores, and distributes spare parts to CPD, CED, and
CFP. Also, certain other facilities utilized by the Coso Partnerships are
held by CLPSI. CPD's investments in CLPSI represent funds advanced for the
purchase of spare parts inventory and other assets. Spare parts inventory
held by CLPSI on behalf of CPD is valued at the lower of cost or market.
(6) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the
following:
2000 1999
--------------- --------------
Power, plant, and gathering system $ 142,350 141,068

The transmission line costs represent the Partnership's share of the costs
of construction of transmission lines from Inyokern, California to the
Edison substation at Kramer, California and from Kramer to the Edison
substation at Victorville, California.
(7) Project Loans
In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in CPD, CAC
arranged for short-term debt financing of $211,500, of which approximately
$78,634 was allocated to CPD. As a result of "push-down" accounting, the
short-term debt was reflected in the financial statements of CPD and was
repaid on May 28, 1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of
senior secured notes. Financing costs associated with the short-term
financing are included in interest expense - acquisition debt.
On May 28, 1999, Caithness Coso Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) raised
$413,000 from an offering of senior secured notes. Funding Corp. loaned
approximately $153,550 to CPD from the $413,000 debt raised from the
offering of senior secured notes on terms consistent with those of the
senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $69,350 at 6.80% and
another note of $84,200 at 9.05% with payments due at various dates through
December 15, 2001 and December 15, 2009, respectively, beginning December
15, 1999. As of December 15, 1999, the principal payment of $43,004 was
available for payment by the trustee. The trustee paid this amount to the
noteholders on January 19, 2000. The failure to make the principal payment
on December 15, 1999 did not result from the lack of performance on the
part of Funding Corp. or the Partnership and the Partnership's management
believes this is not an event of default. Furthermore, all related
penalties will be assumed by the trustee. Through this financing, the
existing project loan and short-term financing of approximately $139,957
was repaid and an extraordinary loss of approximately $2,147 from the early
extinguishment of this debt was incurred. The extraordinary loss was due to
a premium and other costs incurred to pay the existing project loan before
its maturity date.
The annual maturity of the project loans for each year ending December 31
is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------- ------
2001 $ 9,976
2002 3,799
2003 9,155
2004 10,718
2005 11,697
Thereafter 48,831
------
$ 94,176
======
The loans contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things,
limit the Partnership's ability to incur additional indebtedness, release
funds from reserve amounts, make distributions, create loans, and enter
into any transaction of merger or consolidation.
The Partnership, Funding Corp., CED, and CFP are jointly and severally
liable for the repayment of the senior secured notes.
The annual maturity of the senior secured notes for each year ending
December 31 is as follows:
Year ending December 31 Amount
----------------------- ------
2001 $ 27,067
2002 21,771

COC is reimbursed monthly for non-third-party costs incurred on behalf of
CPD. These costs are comprised principally of direct operating costs of the
CPD geothermal facility, allocable general and administrative costs, and an
operator fee. The amount due from COC relates to advances for payments of
operating expenses.
Both CalEnergy and Navy II were reimbursed at approved amounts for their
respective costs incurred in relation to the CPD Management Committee. For
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, CalEnergy received $-0-,
$25, and $148, respectively, while Navy II received $-0-, $130, and $223,
respectively.
As of May 28, 1999, the management committee fees were eliminated and
replaced by a nonmanaging fee payable to Navy II. For the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, Navy II received $234 and $129, respectively.
CPD is charged for its use of the transmission line owned by CTLP. For the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the amount of such net
charges was $179, $127, and $127, respectively.
CPD is charged by CLPSI for both its inventory usage and its portion of the
expenses of operating CLPSI. The charges to CPD from CLPSI in 2000, 1999,
and 1998 were approximately $318, $78, and $361, respectively.
On December 16, 1992, CPD retired China Lake Joint Venture's (CLJV)
promissory note due CalEnergy, resulting in the loan from CPD to CLJV of
$1,562 at December 31, 1992. CLJV is an affiliated venture. Interest has
been accrued on this loan for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998 at 10.0%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, respectively. Interest on the loan was
$371, $421, and $371 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
The amount due to Caithness Coso Funding Corp. represents accrued interest
for fifteen days in December, related to the project loans (see note 7).
The amount due to Caithness Operating Company relates to reimbursements for
payments of operating expenses.
During 1994, the Coso Partnerships entered into steam sharing agreements
under which the partnerships may transfer steam, with the resulting
incremental revenue and royalty expense shared equally by the partnerships.
In the second half of 1995, interconnection facilities between the plants
were completed and the transfer of steam commenced. CPD steam sharing
resulted in an expense, net of royalties and other related costs, of $5,751
and $18,618 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
and a revenue, net of expense, of $342 for the year ended December 31,
1998.
(9) Settlement of Litigation
In February 2000, the Partnership, CED, and CFP reached a settlement with
Edison, subject to the approval of the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC), which approval was received in December 2000. The case
has not yet been dismissed pending completion of certain obligations under
the settlement agreements. The cost of the settlement will be allocated
among the Coso Partnerships. A portion of that cost was reflected in the
purchase accounting applied to the acquisition of CalEnergy's interest in
the Partnership (see note 3). The balance of the settlement was charged to
settlement of litigation and related expenses.
In June 1999, the Partnership, CED, CFP, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. and Fuji
Electric Corporation of America (Fuji) reached a settlement agreement.
Fuji, in consideration of the settlement agreement, must send various
equipment or spare parts to the Coso Partnerships.
(10) Risks and Uncertainties
The Partnership's future results of operations involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between
supply and demand, among other factors, has lead to significant increases
in wholesale electricity prices in California. Edison had previously agreed
to fixed tariffs with their retail customers that were significantly below
the wholesale prices they pay in California. This resulted in significant
under-recoveries by Edison of their electricity purchase costs. On January
16, 2001 Edison announced that it was temporarily suspending payments for
energy provided, including the energy provided by CPD, pending a permanent
solution to its liquidity crisis (see note 2).
In 2001, the Partnership has continued to sell electricity under its
existing PPC with Edison. The State of California is expected to enact a
law that will, among other things, provide for long-term price stability
and payments to qualifying facilities such as the Partnership. Under the
draft legislation currently being considered by the California legislature,
the Partnership believes that it will ultimately collect a sufficient
amount of revenue from its electricity sales to fund its operations.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements were
derived from the stand alone financial statements of Caithness Coso Funding
Corp., Coso Finance Partners, Coso Energy Developers and Coso Power
Developers. All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated.
This financial information has been provided to facilitate a more
comprehensive understanding of the financial position, operating results
and cash flows of the Coso Partnerships as a whole. The unaudited condensed
combined financial statements should read in conjunction with each
individual partnership's financial statements.
(2) Acquisition
On February 25, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC (CAC), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Caithness Energy, LLC, purchased all of the interests
in the Coso projects that were owned by CalEnergy Company Inc. (CalEnergy)
which is now known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The purchase
price consisted of $205.0 million in cash, plus $5.0 million in contingent
payments, plus the assumption of CalEnergy's and its affiliates' share of
debt outstanding. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method, and no goodwill was recorded. After Caithness Acquisition's
purchase of CalEnergy's interest in Coso Partnerships, a new basis of
accounting was adopted and is referred to as "New Basis" as compared to the
former cost basis which is referred to as "Old Basis" in the financial
statements. The purchase price was allocated to the portion of the assets
and liabilities purchased from CalEnergy based upon their fair values, with
the amount of fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price
being allocated to long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis.
In order to complete the purchase of CalEnergy's interest in Coso
Partnerships, Caithness Acquisition arranged for short-term debt financing
of approximately $211.5 million. This short-term debt was repaid on May 28,
1999 from a portion of the proceeds from the offering of senior secured
notes (see note 3).
(3) Debt Financing
On May 28, 1999 Caithness Coso Funding Corp. loaned approximately $413.0
million to Coso Partnerships from a portion of the proceeds from the
offering of senior secured notes. The loan consists of one note of $110.0
million with an interest rate of 6.80% and another of $303.0 million with
an interest rate of 9.05% with maturity dates of December 15, 2001 and
December 15, 2009, respectively. All prior project loans of approximately
$351.4 million were repaid from the proceeds of the financing and an
extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of this debt was incurred
for approximately $6.3 million. The extraordinary loss was due to a premium
and other costs incurred to pay the prior project loans before maturity.

Item 9. Changes in and disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
Since 1991, Caithness Energy and CalEnergy, the two former co-sponsors of
the Coso projects, had engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to audit the financial
statements of the Coso partnerships. On February 25, 1999, CAC purchased all of
CalEnergy's interests in the Coso projects, and Caithness Energy engaged KPMG
LLP, its own independent certified public accountants, to audit future financial
statements of the Coso partnerships. In connection with the audits of the
financial statements of Coso Finance Partners and Coso Finance Partners II, Coso
Energy Developers and Coso Power Developers for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1998 and through February 25, 1999, (i) Caithness
Energy had no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in
their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) the reports
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Coso partnerships did not contain any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except for the reference to
the Coso partnerships' adoption in 1998 of Statement of Position No. 98-5,
''Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities.''

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The Coso Partnerships
Each of the Coso partnerships has two general partners, a managing partner
and a non-managing partner. Under the amended and restated partnership
agreement, the managing partner of each Coso partnership is generally
responsible for the management and control of the day-to-day business and
affairs. The managing partner of the Navy I partnership is New CLOC Company,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the managing partner of the BLM
partnership is New CHIP Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
the managing partner of the Navy II partnership is New CTC Company, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company. The non-managing partner of the Navy I
partnership is ESCA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the non-managing
partner of the BLM partnership is Caithness Coso Holdings, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, and the non-managing partner of the Navy II
partnership is Caithness Navy II Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company.
28
Each managing partner is a limited liability company managed by a manager
who is appointed by CAC, the sole member of each managing partner. The manager
is responsible for the ordinary course management and operations by its Coso
partnership. CAC has appointed itself as the manager of each managing partner.
CAC has also appointed Mr. Ferrucci as the independent manager of each managing
partner. (In addition, each of the managing members of the non-managing partners
has appointed Mr. Ferrucci as the independent manager of that non-managing
partner.) The approval of the independent manager is required before the
managing partner (or the non-managing partner, as the case may be) may take
certain actions that do not involve the ordinary course management and
operations by the Coso partnerships of the Coso projects, including, among
others, (1) commencing any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the
managing partner, (2) incurring any debt in the name of the managing partner for
which it would be liable, (3) dissolving, liquidating, consolidating or merging,
or selling all or substantially all of the assets of, its respective Coso
partnership, or (4) engaging in any business or activity other than acting as
the managing partner of its respective Coso partnership. Each managing partner
also has its officers, who are also officers of Funding Corp., who act on
behalf of the managing partners of the Coso partnerships.
CAC, a limited liability company, is the manager and sole member of each of
the managing partners. Caithness Energy as the manager and sole owner of CAC,
has delegated its role as manager of CAC to the CAC board of directors,
including the power to manage the managing partners of the Coso partnerships.
Each managing partner's officers are also the officers of CAC. None of the
persons acting on behalf of the Coso partnerships receives any compensation from
the Coso partnerships for his or her services, except that nominal compensation
is paid in consideration for Mr. Ferrucci's services.
Caithness Energy is governed by a board of directors and not by its
members. The directors of Funding Corp., other than Mr. Ferrucci, also currently
serve as members of the board of directors of Caithness Energy. Under the
limited liability company agreement of Caithness Energy, Caithness Corporation
is entitled to appoint a number of members to the Board of Directors of
Caithness Energy who hold, in the aggregate, a majority of the votes of all
members of such board of directors. Caithness Corporation's present appointees
are Messrs. Bishop, Sr., and Bishop, Jr.. In addition, Messrs. Gelber, Carpenter
and McCallion serve as voting members of the board of directors of Caithness
Energy pursuant to their individual executive compensation agreements with
Caithness Energy. These five individuals, together with Mr. Ferrucci, serve as
the CAC board of directors.
Management Committees
Under the amended and restated partnership agreement of each Coso
partnership, the managing partner is subject to the directives of a management
committee which oversees the business operations of the Coso partnership. The
managing partner of a Coso partnership may not take certain specific actions
without the consent of the management committee of that Coso partnership.
However, the management committee may not direct the managing partner of the
Coso partnership to take any action over which the independent manager has
exclusive authority without the requisite approval of the independent manager.
The management committee of each Coso partnership consists of four delegates,
two of which are appointed by the managing partner and two of which are
appointed by the non-managing partner. Each partner may substitute or change its
delegates.
Under the amended and restated partnership agreements of the Coso
partnerships, each partner may appoint one delegate with multiple votes. The
names of the delegates appointed by affiliates of Caithness Energy to the
management committees of the Coso partnerships are set forth below.
As of December 31, 2000, the following persons were the members of the
management committee of each Coso partnership, as applicable. Each person has
two votes on each management committee on which he serves:

Certain information regarding Messrs. Bishop and McCallion is provided above.
Management Committee Fees
The members of the management committees are not entitled to any direct
compensation from Funding Corp. or the Coso partnerships. However, each Coso
partnership previously paid its two general partner's annual management
committee fees for their participation on the management committee of that Coso
partnership. The following table sets forth, for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the total amount of management committee fees paid or

managing partners.
Funding Corp.
As of June 30, 1999, the authorized capital stock of Funding Corp.
consisted of 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which
300 shares were outstanding. The outstanding common stock is owned equally by
the Coso partnerships.
30
Coso Partnerships
The directors and executive officers also act in similar capacities on
behalf of the managing partner of each Coso partnership and, except for Mr.
Ferrucci, on behalf of CAC and Caithness Energy. Several of these directors and
executive officers beneficially own the securities of Caithness Corporation, who
beneficially owns the majority of membership interests of Caithness Energy.
