Prominent Industry Analysts believe Magma shares are undervalued

                      -----------------------------------------------------

                      "Although CE's $35 per share offer falls short of our
                      $42 P/E valuation for Magma shares, it is in line
                      with our $36 NPV valuation.  However, this amount
                      does not reflect any upside of potential new projects
                      in the Philippines and Indonesia." (9/20/94)
                
Michael N. Cha        "Our rationale for a buyout price higher than $35 per
J.P. Morgan           share is that an acquirer should pay something for
Securities, Inc.      the upside potential afforded by possible new
                      Magma projects in the Philippines, Indonesia,
                      California as well as other potential geothermal and
                      pumped storage technologies."  (9/29/94)

                       "(Magma's) very conservative balance sheet and 
                       strong fundamentals does not seem to be reflected 
                       in the offering price (of $35)." (9/20/94)
                    
                       "We believe MGMA is still undervalued even after a 
                       26% run-up after the merger announcement which 
                       brought the stock back to more normal valuations.
                       If MGMA were to sell at the average price to book of
                       the IPPs in our universe (2.8 times). The stock would
 Daniele M. Seitz      be worth $43.75 (the offer price is only 2.2 times 
 UBS Securities        book)."  
                    
                       Long term, we believe that with the pipeline of 
                       plants under development (Magma's) earnings leap
                       to $5.35 per share by 1998, resulting in 19% 
                       compound annual growth in EPS over the period
                       1993-1998 as 750 MW is expected to be added to 
                       its existing base of 154 MW." (10/4/94)

                flat horizontal line on which points are marked at regular
                intervals for each year from 1994 through 2005. The shaded area
                is bounded at its two sides by straight, unmarked vertical
