INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
of Panda Energy International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Panda
Interholding Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholder's deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1995
and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

PANDA INTERHOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Panda Interholding Corporation ("Interholding", or collectively with its
subsidiaries the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Panda Interfunding
Corporation ("PIC"), which in turn is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Panda Energy International, Inc. ("PEII"), was formed in July 1996 to hold the
ownership interests in two independent power projects which were formerly owned
by another subsidiary of PEII. The ownership interests were transferred to the
Company at PEII's historical cost. Because the transfers occurred between
entities under common control, the transactions have been accounted for in a
manner similar to a pooling of interests.
Interholding, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, holds the Company's
ownership interests in the Rosemary project and the Brandywine project (see Note
5) and has no other independent operations. The entities holding such ownership
interests include the following: Panda Rosemary Corporation ("PRC"), a 91%
general partner in Panda-Rosemary, L.P. ("Panda-Rosemary"); PRC II Corporation
("PRC II"), a 9% limited partner in Panda-Rosemary; Panda Brandywine
Corporation, a 50% general partner in Panda-Brandywine, L.P.
("Panda-Brandywine"); Panda Energy Corporation (a Delaware corporation), a 50%
limited partner in Panda-Brandywine; and Brandywine Water Company. The Company,
through its general and limited partnership interests, owns 100% of
Panda-Rosemary and Panda-Brandywine. Prior to July 31, 1996, the Company owned
10% of Panda-Rosemary (see Note 5). The Rosemary and Brandywine projects are
located in the United States.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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.
CASH -- Included in cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
RESTRICTED CASH - CURRENT -- Restricted cash-current represents escrowed
cash which may be used to pay operating expenses and make debt payments and
distributions to partners pursuant to the trust indenture agreements.
RESTRICTED CASH - DEBT SERVICE RESERVES AND ESCROW DEPOSITS -- Debt
service reserves and escrow deposits include cash held by the bank to pay debt
service and capital improvements pursuant to the trust indenture agreements.
FUEL OIL, SPARE PARTS AND SUPPLIES -- These items include fuel oil stored
on-site and various spare parts and supplies necessary for plant maintenance.
The items are valued at cost using the weighted average method, and are
expensed, as plant operating expenses, when used.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Electric generating facility assets are recorded at
cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, generally twenty-five years. Depreciation of office
furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally
three to five years. Costs, including interest on funds borrowed to finance the
construction of facilities, related to projects under construction are
capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress balances are
transferred to electric generating facilities when the assets are ready for
their intended use. Capitalized interest was $803,254, $5,793,296 and
$11,055,172 during 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Maintenance and repair
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Other projects currently under
development by PEII may be transferred to the Company at PEII's historical cost
when construction financing has been obtained or when the completed projects
have commenced commercial operations, subject to certain limitations in PIC's
indentures (see Note 8).
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS -- The costs related to the issuance of debt are
capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of
the related debt.
F-7
<PAGE>
PARTNERSHIP FORMATION COSTS -- The costs related to the formation of
Panda-Rosemary are capitalized and amortized over five years.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS -- The operations of the Company are subject to
federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the
environment. Although the Company believes that its operations are in compliance
with applicable environmental regulation, risks of additional costs and
liabilities are inherent in cogeneration operations, and there can be no
assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the
Company. Management is not aware of any contingent liabilities that currently
exist with respect to environmental matters.
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.
Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and
which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed.
Liabilities are recorded if environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts
become probable, and the costs reasonably estimable.
REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Revenue generated from the sale of electric
capacity and energy from the Rosemary and Brandywine projects is recognized
based on the amount billed under the power purchase agreements. The revenue
generated from the sale of electric capacity and energy from other projects will
be recognized based on the lesser of the amount billable under the power
purchase agreement or an amount determined by the annual kilowatts made
available multiplied by the estimated average revenue per kilowatt over the term
of the power purchase agreement. Revenue from the sale of steam and chilled
water is recognized based on the output delivered at rates specified under
contract terms.
INCOME TAXES -- The Company records income taxes according to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109)
which requires deferred tax liabilities or assets to be recognized for the
anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences that arise as a result
of the differences in the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires a valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets in certain circumstances.
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of
PEII. PEII's policy is to allocate income tax expense or benefits to the Company
as if it filed a separate tax return.
ALLOCATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS -- PEII performs certain accounting,
legal, insurance, and consulting services for the Company. These general and
administrative costs are generally allocated to the Company using the percentage
of time PEII personnel spent performing these services. The expenses allocated
were $600,353, $870,200 and $1,654,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and
are included in project development and administrative expenses in the statement
of operations. Management believes the method used to allocate these costs is
reasonable.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" (SFAS 121). SFAS 121 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 and requires the write-down of
certain long-lived assets if circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
those assets may not be recoverable. The Company adopted SFAS 121 in 1996 and
such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
INTEREST COST -- Total interest cost incurred, including capitalized
interest, was $11,820,672, $17,509,225 and $25,357,817 in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

3. RECEIVABLE AND ADVANCES FROM PARENT

parent, allocations of general and administrative expenses from the parent, and
the excess of liabilities assumed over the assets contributed on projects owned
by the parent and contributed in connection with the formation of the Company.
The advances from (receivable from) parent for the years ended December

=========== ============
5. POWER PROJECTS
ROSEMARY PROJECT -- Effective May 5, 1989, PEII formed a wholly-owned
subsidiary, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to develop, construct,
and operate the 180 megawatt gas-fired Rosemary cogeneration facility in Roanoke
Rapids, North Carolina ("Rosemary Project"). Construction on the Rosemary
Project began in September 1989, and commercial operation of the facility began
on December 27, 1990.
The Rosemary Project produces both electricity and useful thermal energy
in the form of steam. Electric capacity and energy sales are based on the terms
of the power purchase agreement between Panda-Rosemary and Virginia Electric
Power Company ("VEPCO") dated January 24, 1989. The agreement requires
Panda-Rosemary to provide VEPCO with all the available capacity of the Rosemary
Project on an as-needed basis with VEPCO obligated to pay for the power
delivered and dependable capacity of the facility at a rate per kilowatt which
decreases in certain periods as defined by the agreement. The term of the
agreement is 25 years and it expires December 2015. A financial institution has
provided a letter of credit for approximately $5 million guaranteeing
Panda-Rosemary's performance under the power purchase agreement. Steam and
chilled water are sold to a third party under a separate agreement which also
has a term of 25 years and expires December 2015. The Rosemary Project is
managed by PRC, the general partner, and was operated by an unrelated third
party through 1996. Effective January 1, 1997, the Rosemary Project is operated
by a subsidiary of PEII.

On January 6, 1992, PRC contributed substantially all project assets and
liabilities and $216,553 in cash to Panda-Rosemary, in exchange for a 10%
combined general partnership and limited partnership interest. The assets and
liabilities were recorded at historical cost, resulting in $19,874,216 in
partners' deficit being contributed by PRC. An institutional investor
("Investor") contributed $30,948,987 in cash in exchange for a 90% limited
partnership interest. On July 31, 1996, the Company acquired the Investor's
limited partnership interest in Panda-Rosemary for a purchase price of
approximately $34.3 million. As a result of this acquisition, the Company owns
100% of Panda-Rosemary. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The excess of minority interest over the purchase price
(approximately $3.8 million) was allocated to plant and equipment.
Prior to July 31, 1996, the Investor received percentage allocations of
income, expense, and cash flow which would decline over time if certain rate of
return requirements were achieved. For the duration of the Investor's
participation in Panda-Rosemary, the allocation to the Investor remained at 90%.
Prior to acquiring the Investor's 90% limited partnership interest on July
31, 1996, the Company controlled Panda-Rosemary through its one percent general
partner interest. As general partner, the Company has exclusive management
authority over the operations of Panda-Rosemary. Accordingly, Panda-Rosemary's
balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, and statements of operations and of cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for the period January
1, 1996 through July 31, 1996 (in addition to the post-acquisition period) have
been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. The capital of the
Investor and Panda-Rosemary's net income allocated to the Investor are presented
as minority interest in the accompanying financial statements.
BRANDYWINE PROJECT -- On August 9, 1991, Panda-Brandywine entered into a
power purchase agreement with Potomac Electric Power Company ("PEPCO") to build
a 230 megawatt gas-fired facility ("Brandywine Project"). The agreement requires
Panda-Brandywine to supply PEPCO with all available capacity from the facility
for the 25-year term of the agreement with a guaranteed dispatch level of at
least 60 hours per week for the first 15 years. The Brandywine Project, in
Brandywine, Maryland, constructed by Raytheon Engineers and Constructors, Inc.
under a fixed fee, turn-key contract was substantially completed and commenced
commercial operations in October, 1996. A construction loan commitment in the
amount of $215 million was provided by General Electric Capital Corporation
("GECC") in April, 1995. On December 30, 1996 the loan converted to a capital
lease with GECC in the amount of $217.5 million with a twenty year term and two
five year renewal options (see Note 6). GECC has provided letters of credit for
approximately $2.3 million guaranteeing Panda-Brandywine's performance under the
agreement. GECC has committed to increase the amount available under letters of
credit to a maximum of approximately $7.3 million under certain circumstances.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION
Long-term debt and capital lease obligation of the Company as of December
31, 1995 and 1996 are summarized as follows:

============= ==============
Capital lease obligation for
Brandywine Project............................ $ -- $ 217,488,645
TAXABLE REVENUE BONDS -- In October 1989, PRC obtained long-term financing
for the Rosemary Project in the form of $116 million of taxable revenue bonds
("Tax Bonds") issued by the Halifax Regional Economic Development Corporation
("Halifax"), a nonprofit corporation organized in North Carolina. In connection
with the issuance of first mortgage bonds for the Rosemary Project in July 1996
as discussed below, the Company refinanced the Tax Bonds and incurred a loss of
$13.3 million on the early extinguishment of that obligation. The Tax Bonds bore
interest at a fixed rate of 9.25% payable semiannually. Scheduled principal
payments began on October 1, 1991. Such principal and interest payments paid by
Panda-Rosemary to Halifax were used to make required payments on the Tax Bonds.
F-10
<PAGE>
The Tax Bonds were fully guaranteed by an irrevocable, direct-pay letter
of credit issued by The Fuji Bank, Limited, Houston Agency ("Fuji"). The letter
of credit had a term equal to the term of the Tax Bonds and included annual fees
of .9375% for years 1-5, 1.3125% for years 6-10, and 1.6875% thereafter.
TERM LOAN -- On October 27, 1995, PEII obtained a term loan in the amount
of $20 million from Trust Company of the West ("TCW"). This loan amended and
restated the loan agreement dated November 8, 1994. In July 1996, in connection
with the offering of Series A Bonds by PIC (the Company's parent) as discussed
in Note 8, approximately $26.4 million of the proceeds was advanced by PIC to
the Company to retire all of the term loan debt. The Company incurred a loss of
$8 million on the early extinguishment of this obligation. The loan bore
interest at a rate of 13.5%, payable at a rate of 11.0%. The 2.5% interest not
payable currently was added to the principal balance of the loan.
Under the loan agreement, TCW also received 1,004,000 warrants to purchase
shares of PEII stock. A loan discount of $1,241,812 was created as a result of
allocating value to the warrants. The carrying value of the warrants is adjusted
annually to the redemption price. Such adjustment, which was allocated to the
Company from PEII until the debt was retired in July 1996, was $153,861 and
$172,924 in 1995 and 1996, respectively, and was recorded as interest expense in
the accompanying statement of operations.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS -- In July 1996, Panda-Rosemary Funding Corporation
("PRFC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Panda-Rosemary, issued $111,400,000 of
first mortgage bonds ("Rosemary Bonds"). The Rosemary Bonds bear interest at a
fixed rate of 8-5/8% payable quarterly commencing November 15, 1996. Scheduled
principal payments are required quarterly commencing November 15, 1996, and will
continue through maturity on February 15, 2016. The Rosemary Bonds are subject
to mandatory redemption prior to maturity under certain conditions. The Rosemary
Bonds are unconditionally guaranteed by Panda-Rosemary but are non-recourse to
the Company, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of
Panda-Rosemary as well as all of the outstanding capital stock of PRC, PRC II
and PRFC. The indenture contains certain covenants, including limitations on
distributions, additional debt and certain other transactions.
While amounts are outstanding under the Rosemary Bonds, all revenues of
Panda-Rosemary are paid to a collateral agent. Funds held by the collateral
agent are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as restricted
cash-current. On a monthly basis, the collateral agent remits to Panda-Rosemary
remaining funds available after payment of all expenditures relating to the
Rosemary project, including debt service, provided that Panda-Rosemary is in
compliance with the debt covenants. Additionally, the collateral agent withholds
funds to meet future debt service, maintenance and pollution control
requirements, if required under the indenture. These amounts are included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash-current and
restricted cash-debt service reserves and escrow deposits.
CONSTRUCTION LOAN AND CAPITAL LEASE -- On April 10, 1995, Panda-Brandywine
closed the initial funding of a $215 million construction loan commitment with
GECC. The construction loan bore an interest rate of the Eurodollar rate plus
2.5%. The construction loan provided for commitments under letters of credit
aggregating approximately $12.4 million of which approximately $5.4 million was
outstanding as of December 31, 1995. The letters of credit had an annual fee of
1.50% on any amounts outstanding and 1.25% on the unused commitment and are
collateralized by the Brandywine Project.
The Brandywine Project commenced commercial operations on October 31,
1996. The construction loan was converted to long-term non-recourse financing of
$217.5 million in the form of a capital lease on December 30, 1996. To effect
the lease financing, title to the Brandywine Project was transferred to a third
party trustee and leased back to Panda-Brandywine. The Brandywine facility lease
is a net lease with an initial term of 20 years and two five-year renewal
options. The lease contains various affirmative and negative covenants,
including limitations on the ability of Panda-Brandywine to make distributions
to its partners. In connection with the capital lease financing, GECC has
provided letters of credit of approximately $2.3 million, which may be increased
to approximately $7.3 million under certain circumstances (see Note 5). The
letters of credit have an annual fee of 1.50% on any amounts outstanding.

7. INCOME TAXES
A provision for income taxes for 1994, 1995 and 1996 has not been recorded
since operating losses were incurred for each year.
The Company has approximately $37 million of net operating loss
carryforwards at December 31, 1996, the benefits of which will be available to
the Company when realized by PEII. The net operating loss carryforwards will
expire during the years 2007 to 2011. PEII may become subject to a limitation on
the amount of net operating loss carryforwards which may be used annually to
offset income should certain changes in its ownership occur in the future.
Should PEII become subject to such a limitation, the amount of tax benefits
available to the Company could be reduced.
Deferred tax assets of approximately $3 million and $11 million as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, consist primarily of interest in
partnerships and net operating losses and are offset by a valuation allowance.
The deferred tax asset for interest in partnerships relates to the difference
between the tax basis of the assets contributed to the partnership upon its
formation and the Company's financial reporting basis in those assets.
SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded against tax assets
which are not likely to be realized. The Company's carryforwards expire at
specific future dates and utilization of certain carryforwards is limited to
specific amounts each year. However, due to the uncertain nature of their
ultimate realization based upon past performance and expiration dates, the
Company has established a full valuation allowance against these carryforward
benefits and will recognize the benefits only when reassessment demonstrates
that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Realization
is entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. While
the need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the
allowance is reduced, the tax benefits of the carryforwards will be recorded in
future operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In July 1996, Panda Funding Corporation ("PFC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of PIC, issued $105,525,000 of pooled project bonds ("Series A Bonds"). The
Series A Bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 11-5/8% payable semiannually
commencing February 20, 1997. Scheduled principal payments are required
semiannually commencing February 20, 1997 and will continue through maturity on
August 20, 2012. The Series A Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption prior to
maturity under certain conditions. The Series A Bonds are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by PIC. Although not direct obligations of the
Company, the Series A Bonds are guaranteed on a limited basis by Interholding up
to a maximum amount specified by the guarantee agreement which approximates
$25.1 million at December 31, 1996. Additionally, the Series A Bonds are secured
by (i) all of the capital stock of PFC, PIC and Interholding, (ii) PIC's
interest in distributions from Interholding, and (iii) certain other collateral.
The Series A Bonds are effectively subordinated to the obligations of PIC's
subsidiaries under project-level financing arrangements. The indenture contains
certain covenants, including limitations on distributions, additional debt and
certain other transactions.
While amounts are outstanding under the Series A Bonds, all distributions
to PIC from Interholding and certain proceeds received by PIC from another
subsidiary will be paid to a collateral agent. On a monthly basis, the
collateral agent will remit to PIC remaining funds available after satisfaction
of PIC's debt service obligations (including amounts withheld, if necessary, to
meet future debt service and reserve fund requirements as required by the
indenture) provided that PIC is in compliance with the debt covenants.
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Bonds, PIC advanced to the
Company (i) approximately $25.1 million to partially fund the acquisition of the
outside investor's limited partnership interest in Panda-Rosemary as discussed
in Note 5, and (ii) approximately $26.4 million to retire the term loan as
discussed in Note 6.
In connection with a previous borrowing from Nova Northwest Inc. ("Nova"),
Nova received a cash flow participation interest in the distributions from the
Rosemary Project for the term of the Panda-Rosemary L.P. partnership agreement.
Such participation interest amounted to 4.33% of the Company's own participation
interest, which was 10% at the time the agreement was entered into. The Company
has filed an action with the District Court of Dallas County, Texas seeking a
declaratory judgment that Nova's cash flow participation is 0.433% of the
Company's 100% interest after the acquisition of the institutional investor's
90% limited partnership interest. Management believes that the resolution of
this dispute will not have a material effect on the financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of the Company. PEII and Nova each have the option
to convert the present value of cash flow participation, as defined by the
agreement, to PEII common stock at $6 a share.
In August 1996, Panda-Brandywine and PEPCO commenced discussions
concerning commercial operational requirements of the Brandywine Project and
conversion of the construction loan to long-term financing in the form of a
lease. During these discussions, disagreements arose between Panda-Brandywine
and PEPCO with respect to certain provisions of the Brandywine Power Purchase
Agreement which relate to the determination of the interest rate that is the
basis for reduction in capacity payments thereunder (the "PEPCO Interest Rate
Dispute"). PEPCO and Panda-Brandywine are presently attempting to resolve these
disagreements but there are no assurances that such efforts will be successful.
If the PEPCO Interest Rate Dispute is determined adversely to Panda-Brandywine,
the capacity payments paid by PEPCO under the Brandywine Power Purchase
Agreement (which commence in January 1997) will be less than originally
anticipated, thereby adversely affecting the revenues realized by
Panda-Brandywine, and consequently, reducing the amount of funds that would be
available for distribution to the Company.
Raytheon Engineers and Constructors, Inc. ("Raytheon") constructed the
Brandywine Project pursuant to a fixed-price, turnkey engineering, procurement
and construction contract (the "Brandywine EPC Agreement") with
Panda-Brandywine. Raytheon completed the construction and start-up of the
Brandywine Project and has met the requirements for commercial operations and
substantial completion under the Brandywine EPC Agreement, although the date on
which commercial operations were achieved and the entitlement of Raytheon to
certain early completion bonuses under the Brandywine EPC Agreement are the
subject of a dispute between Panda-Brandywine and Raytheon. The Company
estimates that the amount in dispute is less than $1 million and believes that
the resolution of this dispute will not have a material adverse effect upon the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
F-13
<PAGE>
The Company has entered into various long-term contracts for the purchase
and transportation of fuel subject to termination only in certain limited
circumstances. These contracts have remaining terms of 10 to 25 years. The
Company's minimum purchase commitment under these contracts is 2.3 million
British thermal units of gas annually from October 31, 1996 through October 31,
2011. In the aggregate, such commitments are not at prices in excess of the
current market.
PEII is also involved in other legal and administrative proceedings in the
ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on the advice of
counsel, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these matters will not
have a material affect on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company purchases insurance coverage through an agency owned by a
major shareholder of PEII who is also a member of the board of directors of PEII
and a relative of PEII's chairman. The Company believes such coverage is on
terms that are no less favorable than reasonably available from unaffiliated
third parties. Total insurance purchases through this agency were $291,142,
$298,728 and $754,388 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of
December 31, 1996 are as follows:
CARRYING VALUE FAIR VALUE
------------- -------------
Long-term debt, including current portion..... $ 110,023,541 $ 110,023,541
Capital lease obligation...................... $ 217,488,645 $ 217,488,645
The Rosemary Bonds have limited trading. The fair value of these bonds is
estimated based on an April 1997 third party quotation, adjusted to reflect
changes in the yield of government securities with similar maturities since
December 31, 1996. The fair value of the capital lease obligation equals the
carrying value of the obligation because the lease financing transaction, which
closed on December 30, 1996, reflects the Company's incremental borrowing rate
at year-end.
The Company is also a party to letters of credit. Historically, no claims
have been made against these financial instruments and management does not
expect any material losses to result from these off-balance-sheet instruments
because performance is not usually expected to be required. Therefore,
management is of the opinion that the fair value of these instruments is zero.
The Company has various purchase commitments for gas supply and delivery
incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the aggregate, such commitments
are not at prices in excess of the current market.
The Company's electric capacity and energy sales are currently under two
power sales contracts with two customers. The failure of these customers to
fulfill their contractual obligations could have a substantial negative impact
on the Company's revenue. However, the Company does not anticipate
non-performance by the customers under these contracts.
