                            THE CATALYST GROUP, INC.

                              Statement by Claimant

1.       The Catalyst Group, Inc. (the "Claimant") is a Louisiana corporation
         located at 409 Texas Street, Vidalia, Louisiana 71373. The claimant has
         a 100% ownership interest in Catalyst Vidalia Acquisition Corporation
         ("CVAC"), a Louisiana corporation, which has a 100% ownership interest
         in Catalyst Vidalia Holding Corporation ("CVHC"), a Louisiana
         corporation, which has a 100% ownership interest in Catalyst Vidalia
         Corporation ("CVC"), a Louisiana corporation, which owns a 50%
         undivided interest in, and 100% of the voting securities of, Catalyst
         Old River Hydroelectric Limited Partnership, a Louisiana limited
         partnership in commendam (the "Partnership"). CVHC is also the sole
         member of Vidalia Holding, LLC (a Louisiana Limited Liability Company)
         ("VHLLC") which on July 15, 1999 acquired from the limited partner to
         the Partnership, 50% of the limited partner's 50% ownership in the
         Partnership. As a result of this transaction, CVHC owns a 75% undivided
         interest in the Partnership. The Partnership is located at Old River
         Control Complex, North Highway 15, Lettsworth, Louisiana 70753, and the
         nature of its business is ownership of a lessee interest in, and the
         operation of, a 192 megawatt hydroelectric facility. Further
         information regarding the business of the Partnership is contained in
         Note 2 below and the information regarding the nature of business of
         the Claimant and its respective subsidiaries is attached hereto as
         Attachment B.

2.       The Claimant, through CVAC, owns 100% of CVHC. CVHC owns 100% of CVC
         which is the sole general partner of the Partnership. CVC owns a 50%
         undivided interest in the Partnership and, as sole general partner,
         100% of the voting securities of the Partnership. CVHC is also the sole
         member of VHLLC which owns a 25% undivided interest in the Partnership.

         The Partnership's assets consist of a leasehold interest in a 192
         megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric facility located in Concordia
         Parish (near Vidalia), Louisiana, approximately one mile north of the
         Army Corps of Engineers Old River Control Complex between the
         Mississippi River and the Red/Atchafalaya Rivers. The Project consists
         of an intake channel 4,500 feet in length, a power plant containing
         eight bulb turbines with a total installed capacity of 192 megawatts,
         and a power discharge channel 10,000 feet in length discharging into
         the Old River Outflow Channel. The Project discharges the flows that
         otherwise would be passed through the Low Sill Structure of the Old
         River Control Structure. A single 40-mile, 115-KV transmission line
         connects the Project with Louisiana Power and Light's existing
         substation, just west of Vidalia.

         In August 1990, the Partnership sold and leased back its interest in
         the Project to and from a group of institutions. The term of the lease
         is 30 years, subject to certain renewal options. Under the lease and
         related agreements, the Partnership was granted certain

                                  Page 4 of 20
<PAGE>

         options to purchase the Project from the lessors. These agreements
         also impose certain restrictions on the operation of the Project by
         the Partnership, and generally require that revenues from Project
         operations be used to pay operating and maintenance expenses, rent,
         royalty and related obligations before they may be distributed to the
         partners of the Partnership.
