    As filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 1995
    
                       PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT

                              MAGMA POWER COMPANY
                              4365 Executive Drive
                                   Suite 900
                          San Diego, California 92121

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

         You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting of Stockholders
of Magma Power Company ("Magma") to be held on February 21, 1995, at 10:00 a.m.,
Nebraska time, at the Red Lion Hotel, 1616 Dodge Street, in Omaha, Nebraska. At
this important meeting, Magma stockholders will consider and vote upon a
proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5,
1994 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Magma, California Energy Company, Inc.
("CECI") and CE Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI
("CE Sub"), pursuant to which CE Sub will be merged with and into Magma (the
"Merger").
   
         As you know, the Merger is the second and final step in the acquisition
of Magma by CECI pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The first step
was a tender offer (the "Offer") by CE Sub pursuant to which CE Sub acquired
12,400,000 shares of Magma common stock (representing approximately 51% of the
issued and outstanding Magma common stock) for $39.00 per share in cash.

         Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Magma common stock will
be converted into the right to receive, at CECI's election, either (i) an amount
of cash determined such that the blended consideration paid by CECI in the Offer
and the Merger would be $38.75 per share or (ii) cash and CECI common stock
having an aggregate market value, based on an average closing price for the CECI
common stock and subject to a collar provision in the case of CECI common stock,
equal to $39.00 per share. If CECI elects the former option, each share of Magma
common stock will be converted in the Merger into cash in the range of
approximately $38.47 per share to $38.49 per share. If CECI elects the latter
option, each share of Magma common stock will be converted in the Merger into
(A) cash in the range of approximately $16.94 per share to $17.50 per share PLUS
(B) between 1.148 and 1.546 shares of CECI common stock. As a result of a collar
provision included in the formula for determining the precise Merger
consideration, the value of the cash and CECI common stock received by Magma
stockholders in the Merger may, pursuant to the application of the collar, be
less than $39.00. The formula for determining the precise Merger consideration
is complicated; for a more complete discussion of the Merger consideration, see
"THE MERGER AGREEMENT -- Terms of The Merger" and "RISK FACTORS--Potential for
Fluctuation of Value of Merger Consideration" in the accompanying Information
Statement/Prospectus.

         Goldman, Sachs & Co., Magma's financial advisor, has rendered its
opinion, dated December 5, 1994, to Magma's Board of Directors that the
consideration to be received by the holders of Magma common stock in the Offer
and the Merger, taken as a unitary transaction, is fair to the holders of Magma
common stock receiving such consideration (other than CECI and its affiliates).
The opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co. is discussed in the accompanying Information
Statement/Prospectus under the heading "SPECIAL FACTORS --Opinion of Magma's
Financial Advisor".

         The alternative forms and amounts of consideration payable by CECI in
the Merger were negotiated by Magma and CECI at arms' length, in consultation
with their respective financial advisors. Each of Magma and CECI viewed the
acquisition of Magma as a single transaction, and the parties negotiated on the
basis of a blended consideration to be received by Magma stockholders in the
Offer and the Merger. CECI proposed that the consideration to be paid in the
Offer and the Merger consist of a combination of cash and shares of CECI common
stock and that any increase in the consideration over the consideration offered
by CECI immediately prior to the time Magma and CECI agreed to negotiate a
possible transaction (the "Revised Previous Offer") be





    
<PAGE>


paid in additional shares of CECI common stock. Magma proposed that the
consideration be paid entirely in cash. The parties then discussed an increase
in the consideration offered in the Revised Previous Offer--a blended amount of
$28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI common stock--to a blended
amount of $28.50 in cash and $10.50 in market value of CECI common stock. In
light of Magma's desire to have the consideration paid entirely in cash, CECI
proposed that, at its option, CECI could pay the consideration all in cash
(rather than in cash and CECI common stock) such that the blended all cash
consideration paid in the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per share of
Magma common stock.

         The Merger Agreement does not by its terms require CECI to elect the
form of consideration it will pay in the Merger at any time prior to the
effective time of the Merger. It is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger
consideration solely in cash, but such intention is subject to change if (i) the
proposed underwriters for the public offering of CECI common stock that is
expected to provide a portion of the all cash consideration (the "Public
Offering") determine that they cannot or will not proceed with such offering
upon terms reasonably satisfactory to CECI or (ii) market conditions would
require the issuance in the Public Offering of a greater number of shares of
CECI common stock in order to fund an all cash Merger than would be required to
be issued if the Merger were consummated with a mixed cash and CECI common stock
consideration. CECI will seek to cause the Public Offering to be priced so that
the closing of the Public Offering (normally five trading days following
pricing) will occur on the date the Magma Special Meeting occurs and the Merger
becomes effective. CECI will determine the form of consideration to be paid in
the Merger at the time the Public Offering is priced or at the time CECI elects
not to proceed with the Public Offering based on the foregoing considerations.

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger consideration in a combination of cash
and CECI common stock, CECI will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and mail to Magma's stockholders a supplement to the accompanying
Information Statement/Prospectus disclosing such determination and providing a
toll-free telephone number so that Magma stockholders may call to obtain the
"Average Closing Price" (part of the formula for determining the precise
allocation of cash and CECI common stock to be paid as Merger consideration).
Concurrently with the filing of such supplement, CECI will issue a press release
stating such election. In addition, Magma will, if necessary, postpone or
adjourn the Magma Special Meeting so that the foregoing supplement is mailed to
Magma stockholders at least ten business days prior to the Magma Special Meeting
and the Merger. CECI will disseminate another supplement at the time the
"Average Closing Price" is determined.

         As a result of completion of the Offer and the purchase of shares of
Magma common stock pursuant thereto, CE Sub owns and has the right to vote at
the Magma Special Meeting sufficient shares to approve the Merger Agreement
without the affirmative vote of any other stockholder, thereby assuring the
approval of the Merger Agreement.

         The accompanying Information Statement/Prospectus explains in detail
the terms of the Merger and the CECI common stock to be issued, if any. Although
you are not being asked for a proxy and are requested not to send a proxy,
please read the information statement/prospectus carefully.
    
         YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE MERGER IS FAIR TO, AND IN THE
BEST INTERESTS OF, MAGMA AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS. THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
(WITH TWO DIRECTORS ABSENT) THE TERMS OF THE MERGER PURSUANT TO THE MERGER
AGREEMENT.

TRANSMITTAL TO BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE. YOU SHOULD NOT SUBMIT YOUR SHARE

                   NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                          ---------------------------
                   WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU
                     ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
                          ---------------------------

         A Special Meeting of Stockholders of Magma Power Company, a Nevada
corporation ("Magma"), will be held on February 21, 1995, at 10:00 a.m.,
Nebraska time, at the Red Lion Hotel, 1616 Dodge Street, in Omaha, Nebraska, for
the following purposes:
   
                  1. To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt
         an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 1994 (the
         "Merger Agreement"), among Magma, California Energy Company, Inc.
         ("CECI") and CE Acquisition Company, Inc. ("CE Sub"), a wholly owned
         subsidiary of CECI, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to the
         Information Statement/Prospectus accompanying this Notice, pursuant to
         which, among other things, (a) CE Sub will be merged with and into
         Magma, (b) each outstanding share of Magma common stock, par value
         $0.10 per share ("Shares"), will be converted into the right to
         receive, at CECI's election, either (i) the All Cash Component Amount
         (as defined below), net in cash, without interest thereon or (ii) both
         (A) the Mixed Cash Component Amount (as defined below), net in cash,
         without interest thereon, and (B) the number of fully paid and
         nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.0675 per share, of
         CECI ("CECI Common Stock") equal to the quotient of (I) $39.00 less
         (II) the Mixed Cash Component Amount divided by the Average Closing
         Price (as defined below). If CECI elects the former option, each Share
         will be converted in the Merger into cash in the range of approximately
         $38.47 per Share to $38.49 per Share. If CECI elects the latter option,
         each Share will be converted in the Merger into (A) cash in the range
         of approximately $16.94 per Share to $17.50 per Share PLUS (B) between
         1.148 and 1.546 shares of CECI Common Stock. As a result of a collar
         provision included in the formula for determining the precise Merger
         consideration, the value of the cash and CECI Common Stock received by
         Magma stockholders in the Merger may, pursuant to the application of
         the collar, be less than $39.00. The formula for determining the
         precise Merger consideration is complicated; for a complete discussion
         of the Merger consideration, see "THE MERGER AGREEMENT -- Terms of the
         Merger" and "RISK FACTORS--Potential for Fluctuation of Value of Merger
         Consideration" in the accompanying Information Statement/Prospectus.
         The "Mixed Cash Component Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the
         quotient of (A) (x) $28.50 multiplied by the number of Shares
         outstanding at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
         less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by CECI and
         any of its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided
         by (B) the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time (other
         than Shares owned by CECI and any of its affiliates). The "All Cash
         Component Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the quotient of (A) (x)
         $38.75 multiplied by the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective
         Time less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by CECI
         and any of its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time,
         divided by (B) the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time
         (other than Shares owned by CECI and any of its affiliates). The
         "Average Closing Price" shall mean the average closing price of CECI
         Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 15 consecutive
         trading days ending on the fifth business day prior to the Effective
         Time; provided, however, that if such average closing
    




    
<PAGE>






         price exceeds $18.73, the Average Closing Price shall be deemed to be
         $18.73, and if such average closing price is less than $14.27, the
         Average Closing Price shall be deemed to be $14.27.

                  2.  To transact such other business as may properly come
          before the meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
   
     The Board of Directors  has fixed the close of business on January 23, 1995
as the record date for the  determination of the holders of Magma's common stock
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting.  Your  attention is directed
to the accompanying Information Statement/Prospectus.

         The alternative forms and amounts of consideration payable by CECI in
the Merger were negotiated by Magma and CECI at arms' length, in consultation
with their respective financial advisors. Each of Magma and CECI viewed the
acquisition of Magma as a single transaction, and the parties negotiated on the
basis of a blended consideration to be received by Magma stockholders in the
Offer and the Merger. CECI proposed that the consideration to be paid in the
Offer and the Merger consist of a combination of cash and shares of CECI Common
Stock and that any increase in the consideration over the consideration offered
by CECI immediately prior to the time Magma and CECI agreed to negotiate a
possible transaction (the "Revised Previous Offer") be paid in additional shares
of CECI Common Stock. Magma proposed that the consideration be paid entirely in
cash. The parties then discussed an increase in the consideration offered in the
Revised Previous Offer--a blended amount of $28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market
value of CECI Common Stock--to a blended amount of $28.50 in cash and $10.50 in
market value of CECI Common Stock. In light of Magma's desire to have the
consideration paid entirely in cash, CECI proposed that, at its option, CECI
could pay the consideration all in cash (rather than in cash and CECI Common
Stock) such that the blended all cash consideration paid in the Offer and the
Merger would be $38.75 per Share.

         The Merger Agreement does not by its terms require CECI to elect the
form of consideration it will pay in the Merger at any time prior to the
effective time of the Merger. It is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger
consideration solely in cash, but such intention is subject to change if (i) the
proposed underwriters for the public offering of CECI Common Stock that is
expected to provide a portion of the all cash consideration (the "Public
Offering") determine that they cannot or will not proceed with such offering
upon terms reasonably satisfactory to CECI or (ii) market conditions would
require the issuance in the Public Offering of a greater number of shares of
CECI Common Stock in order to fund an all cash Merger than would be required to
be issued if the Merger were consummated with a mixed cash and CECI Common Stock
consideration. CECI will seek to cause the Public Offering to be priced so that
the closing of the Public Offering (normally five trading days following
pricing) will occur on the date the Magma Special Meeting occurs and the Merger
becomes effective. CECI will determine the form of consideration to be paid in
the Merger at the time the Public Offering is priced or at the time CECI elects
not to proceed with the Public Offering based on the foregoing considerations.

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger consideration in a combination of cash
and CECI Common Stock, CECI will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and mail to Magma's stockholders a supplement to the accompanying
Information Statement/Prospectus disclosing such determination and providing a
toll-free telephone number so that Magma stockholders may call to find out the
"Average Closing Price". Concurrently with the filing of such supplement, CECI
will issue a press release stating such election. In addition, Magma will, if
necessary, postpone or adjourn the Magma Special Meeting so that the foregoing
supplement is mailed to Magma stockholders at least ten business days prior to
the Magma Special Meeting and the Merger. CECI will disseminate another
supplement at the time the "Average Closing Price" is determined.

                        Special Meeting of Stockholders

                      Meeting To Be Held February 21, 1995

                               ------------------
   
         This Information Statement/Prospectus is furnished to holders of record
on January 23, 1995 (the "Magma Record Date") of common stock, par value $0.10
per share ("Share"), of Magma Power Company, a Nevada corporation ("Magma"), in
connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Magma to be held on
February 21, 1995, and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof (the
"Magma Special Meeting"). At the Magma Special Meeting, the stockholders of
Magma will consider and vote upon the approval and adoption of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 1994 (the "Merger Agreement"), among
Magma, California Energy Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CECI"), and CE
Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI and a Delaware
corporation ("CE Sub"). If the Merger Agreement is approved and the Merger is
consummated, each outstanding Share will be converted into the right to receive
consideration (the "Merger Consideration") consisting of, at CECI's election,
either (i) an amount of cash determined such that the blended consideration paid
by CECI in the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Share or (ii) cash and
common stock, par value $0.0675 per share, of CECI ("CECI Common Stock") having
an aggregate market value, based on an average closing price for the CECI Common
Stock and subject to a collar provision in the case of CECI Common Stock, equal
to $39.00 per Share. If CECI elects the former option, each Share will be
converted in the Merger into cash in the range of approximately $38.47 per Share
to $38.49 per Share. If CECI elects the latter option, each Share will be
converted in the Merger into (A) cash in the range of approximately $16.94 per
Share to $17.50 per Share PLUS (B) between 1.148 and 1.546 shares of CECI Common
Stock. As a result of a collar provision included in the formula for determining
the precise Merger consideration, the value of the cash and CECI Common Stock
received by Magma stockholders in the Merger may be less than $39.00. The
formula for determining the precise Merger consideration is complicated; for a
more complete discussion of the Merger Consideration, see "THE MERGER
AGREEMENT--Terms of The Merger" and "RISK FACTORS--Potential for Fluctuation of
Value of Merger Consideration."

         The alternative forms and amounts of consideration payable by CECI in
the Merger were negotiated by Magma and CECI at arms' length, in consultation
with their respective financial advisors. Each of Magma and CECI viewed the
acquisition of Magma as a single transaction, and the parties negotiated on the

of CECI Common Stock. Magma proposed that the consideration be paid entirely in
cash. The parties then discussed an increase in the consideration offered in the
Revised Previous Offer--a blended amount of $28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market
value of CECI Common Stock--to a blended amount of

$28.50 in cash and $10.50 in market value of CECI Common Stock. In light of
Magma's desire to have the consideration paid entirely in cash, CECI proposed
that, at its option, CECI could pay the consideration all in cash (rather than
in cash and CECI Common Stock) such that the blended all cash consideration paid
in the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Share.

         The Merger Agreement does not by its terms require CECI to elect the
form of consideration it will pay in the Merger at any time prior to the
effective time of the Merger. It is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger
Consideration solely in cash, but such intention is subject to change if (i) the
proposed underwriters for the public offering of CECI Common Stock that is
expected to provide a portion of the all cash consideration (the "Public
Offering") determine that they cannot or will not proceed with such offering
upon terms reasonably satisfactory to CECI or (ii) market conditions would
require the issuance in the Public Offering of a greater number of shares of
CECI Common Stock in order to fund an all cash Merger than would be required to
be issued if the Merger were consummated with a mixed cash and CECI Common Stock
consideration. CECI will seek to cause the Public Offering to be priced so that
the closing of the Public Offering (normally five trading days following
pricing) will occur on the date the Magma Special Meeting occurs and the Merger
becomes effective. CECI will determine the form of consideration to be paid in
the Merger at the time the Public Offering is priced or at the time CECI
determines to abandon the Public Offering based on the foregoing considerations.

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration in a combination of cash
and CECI Common Stock, CECI will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and mail to Magma's stockholders a supplement to this Information
Statement/Prospectus disclosing such determination and providing a toll-free
telephone number so that Magma stockholders may call to find out the "Average
Closing Price". Concurrently with the filing of such supplement, CECI will issue
a press release stating such election. In addition, Magma will, if necessary,
postpone or adjourn the Magma Special Meeting so that the foregoing supplement
is mailed to Magma stockholders at least ten business days prior to the Magma
Special Meeting and the Merger. CECI will disseminate another supplement at the
time the "Average Closing Price" is determined.

         This Information Statement/Prospectus constitutes the Prospectus of
CECI with respect to up to 17,700,000 shares of CECI Common Stock to be issued
in connection with the Merger, if CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration
with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock. On January 6, 1995, CECI filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act") for the purpose of registering shares of CECI Common Stock that may be
issued in the Public Offering. On January 26, 1995, the last reported sales
price of CECI Common Stock on the NYSE was $17.63.
    
         Holders of Shares outstanding at the close of business on the Magma
Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Magma Special
Meeting, but Shares can be voted at the meeting only if the record holder is
present or represented by proxy.
   
         Approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Magma Special
Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of determining whether
the Merger Agreement has received the required number of votes for approval,
abstentions will be included in the vote totals with the result that an
abstention has the same effect as a negative vote. As a result of completion of
the Offer pursuant to which CE Sub acquired 12,400,000 Shares (representing
approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Shares) for $39.00 per Share in
cash, CE Sub owns a sufficient number of Shares to approve the Merger without
the affirmative vote of any other stockholder. Accordingly, approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Magma Special Meeting is assured.
    
         STOCKHOLDERS OF MAGMA ARE NOT BEING ASKED FOR A PROXY AND ARE REQUESTED
NOT TO SEND MAGMA A PROXY.

TIME, PLACE AND DATE OF MAGMA SPECIAL MEETING; RECORD DATE
   
         The Magma Special Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Nebraska time, on
February 21, 1995 at the Red Lion Hotel, 1616 Dodge Street, in Omaha, Nebraska.
Only holders of Shares of record at the close of business on January 23, 1995,
the Magma Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Magma Special Meeting or any
adjournment or postponement thereof.
    
TERMS OF MERGER; MERGER CONSIDERATION

         The following description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger
Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A and incorporated herein
by reference. Stockholders of Magma are urged to read the Merger Agreement in
its entirety.
   
         General. CECI, CE Sub and Magma have entered into the Merger Agreement,
providing for, among other things, the Offer and the Merger. Pursuant to the
Offer, on January 10, 1995, CE Sub purchased 12,400,000 Shares at a price of
$39.00 per Share in cash. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CE Sub and Magma
will, as soon as practicable following consummation of the Offer, consummate the
Merger.

         Merger Consideration. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each
outstanding Share (other than Shares held by CECI, CE Sub or any other direct or
indirect subsidiary of CECI and Shares held in the treasury of Magma) will be
converted into the right to receive, at CECI's election (which election shall be
made no later than five business days prior to the Magma Special Meeting), (i)
an amount of cash determined such that the blended consideration paid by CECI in
the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Share or (ii) cash and CECI Common
Stock having an aggregate market value, based on an average closing price for
the CECI Common Stock and subject to a collar provision in the case of CECI
Common Stock, equal to $39.00 per Share. If CECI elects the former option, each
Share will be converted in the Merger into cash in the range of approximately
$38.47 per Share to $38.49 per Share. If CECI elects the latter option, each
share will be converted in the Merger into (A) cash in the range of
approximately $16.94 per Share to $17.50 per Share PLUS (B) between 1.148 and
1.546 shares of CECI Common Stock. As a result of a collar provision included in
the formula for determining the precise Merger consideration, the value of the
cash and CECI Common Stock received by Magma stockholders in the Merger may be
less than $39.00. The formula for determining the precise Merger consideration
is complicated; for a more complete discussion of the Merger Consideration, see
"THE MERGER AGREEMENT--Terms of the Merger" and "RISK FACTORS--Potential for
Fluctuation of Value of Merger Consideration."

         The alternative forms and amounts of consideration payable by CECI in
the Merger were negotiated by Magma and CECI at arms' length, in consultation
with their respective financial advisors. Each of Magma and CECI viewed the
acquisition of Magma as a single transaction, and the parties negotiated on the
basis of a blended consideration to be received by Magma stockholders in the
Offer and the Merger. As a result of (i) the agreement of the parties that CECI
could, at its option, pay the Merger Consideration entirely in cash, at a
blended value of $38.75 per Share, and (ii) Magma's insistence that the
consideration paid in the Offer be $39.00 per Share, the per share Merger
Consideration payable if CECI elects the all cash alternative will be in the
range of $38.47 to $38.49, which amount is less than the amount per share in the
Offer. In addition, assuming the "Average Closing Price" is between $14.27 and
$18.73, the value of the Merger Consideration will be less if CECI elects the
all cash alternative than if CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration in a
combination of cash and CECI common stock. The price differentials between the
Offer and the all cash alternative Merger Consideration and between the all cash
alternative and the mixed cash and stock alternative Merger Consideration
resulted from arms' length negotiation between the parties. For a further
discussion of

                                                        10




    
<PAGE>






the formulation and fairness of the Merger Consideration payable if CECI elects
the all cash alternative, see "THE MERGER AGREEMENT--Terms of the Merger".

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration in a combination of cash
and CECI Common Stock, CECI will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and mail to Magma's stockholders a supplement to this Information
Statement/Prospectus disclosing such determination and providing a toll-free
telephone number so that Magma stockholders may call to find out the "Average
Closing Price". Concurrently with the filing of such supplement, CECI will issue
a press release stating such election. In addition, Magma will, if necessary,
postpone or adjourn the Magma Special Meeting so that the foregoing supplement
is mailed to Magma stockholders at least ten business days prior to the Magma
Special Meeting and the Merger. CECI will disseminate another supplement at the
time the "Average Closing Price" is determined.

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a combination of
cash and CECI Common Stock, CECI estimates that approximately $710,900,000 will
be required to effectuate the Merger, to refinance bank borrowings incurred in
connection with the Offer and to pay related fees and expenses. If CECI elects
to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, approximately $957,400,000 will
be required to complete the Merger. Credit Suisse will provide, on specified
terms and subject to customary conditions, up to $500,000,000 in secured bank
financing (the "Merger Facilities"). Such funds, together with a capital
contribution by CECI from CECI's general corporate funds and, if CECI elects to
pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, the net proceeds of a public
offering of CECI Common Stock will be sufficient to pay the Merger
Consideration, to refinance bank borrowings incurred in connection with the
Offer and to pay related fees and expenses. Specifically, if CECI elects to pay
the Merger Consideration with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock, CECI
will pay the Merger Consideration, refinance the bank borrowings and pay related
fees and expenses using the following: approximately $500,000,000 from the
Merger Facilities plus approximately $210,900,000 from general corporate funds.
If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, CECI will pay the
Merger Consideration, refinance the bank borrowings and pay related fees and
expenses using the following: approximately $500,000,000 from the Merger
Facilities plus approximately $266,700,000 from the net proceeds of a CECI
Common Stock public offering plus approximately $190,700,000 CECI's general
corporate funds.

         As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, CECI does not
have authorized a sufficient number of shares of CECI Common Stock to consummate
the Merger, regardless of whether such shares would be issued in the Public
Offering or as part of the Merger Consideration. In order to permit consummation
of the Merger, CECI has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders for
February 10, 1995 (the "CECI Meeting"), at which CECI's stockholders will vote
on an amendment to CECI's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the number of shares authorized to be issued by CECI by an amount
sufficient to consummate the Merger. CECI's obligation to consummate the Merger
is conditioned upon the adoption of such amendment. CECI has not determined what
steps it will take if such amendment is not adopted.
    
         Termination. The Merger Agreement provides that it may be terminated
before the Effective Time in the following circumstances: (a) by mutual consent
of the Board of Directors of CECI (the "CECI Board") and the Board of Directors
of Magma (the "Magma Board"); or (b) by Magma or CECI if the Effective Time
shall not have occurred on or prior to September 30, 1995; or (c) by either CECI
or Magma if a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or
administrative agency or commission shall have issued an order, decree or ruling
or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the parties hereto
shall use their best efforts to lift), in each case permanently restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final
and nonappealable; or (d) by CECI if (i) the Magma Board withdraws, modifies or
changes its recommendation

                                                        11

of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or shall
have resolved to do any of the foregoing or (ii) the Magma Board recommends to
the holders of Shares any proposal with respect to a merger, consolidation,
share exchange or similar transaction involving Magma or any of its
subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
or (e) by CECI if, without Magma's consent, any person has acquired beneficial
ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of or any "group" (as
defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder) has been formed which beneficially owns, or has the
right to acquire beneficial ownership of, more than 10% of the Shares; or (f) by
Magma or CECI if (i) a corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group
shall have made a bona fide offer that the Magma Board determines in its good
faith judgment and in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, after consultation
with and based upon the advice of its financial and legal advisors, is more
favorable to Magma's stockholders than the Offer and the Merger or any person
(including, without limitation, Magma or any affiliate thereof), other than CECI
or any affiliate of CECI, shall have become the beneficial owner of more than
50% of the then outstanding Shares; or (g) by either CECI or Magma if the other
party shall have breached the Merger Agreement in any material respect and such
breach continues for a period of ten days after the receipt of notice of the
breach from the nonbreaching party.

         Termination Fee for CECI. The Merger Agreement provides that if it is
terminated pursuant to clauses (d) or (f) or terminated by CECI pursuant to
clause (g) of the preceding paragraph, Magma will be required to pay CECI a
termination fee of $8,000,000 plus CECI's actual documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred since September 13, 1994 in connection with the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without
limitation, legal and professional fees and expenses.
   
RISK FACTORS

         Holders of Shares, in reaching a decision regarding the proposal to
approve and adopt the Merger Agreement (which contains an option on the part of
CECI to pay a portion of the Merger Consideration in shares of CECI Common
Stock), should consider carefully certain factors set forth herein under the
heading "RISK FACTORS." Factors to be considered relating to CECI and Magma
include the following: (i) the potential for fluctuation of value of the Merger
Consideration; (ii) market risk of a mixed cash and CECI Common Stock Merger
Consideration; (iii) partial disadvantage associated with an all cash Merger
Consideration; (iv) election of form of Merger Consideration by CECI; (v)
development uncertainty; (vi) development uncertainty outside the United States;
(vii) exploration, development and operation uncertainties of geothermal energy
resources; (viii) competition; (ix) present dependence on a large customer; (x)
contract risks; expected negative impact of avoided cost pricing; (xi)
substantial leverage; (xii) certain risks of the Merger; (xiii) impact of
environmental and other regulations; (xiv) shares of CECI Common Stock eligible
for future sale; and (xv) conflicts of interest.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MAGMA

         On December 5, 1994, the Magma Board unanimously approved (with two
directors absent) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
and determined that each of the Offer and the Merger is fair to, and in the best
interests of, the stockholders of Magma. The Magma Board had also recommended
that all holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to
the Offer. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Recommendations of the Board of Directors of
Magma and CECI; Reasons for the Merger; Fairness of the Offer and the Merger."

         On December 6, 1994, the CECI Board unanimously ratified the signing of

OPINIONS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS

         On December 5, 1994, Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") delivered
its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Magma
Board that, as of December 5, 1994, the consideration to be received by the
holders of the Shares in the Offer and the Merger, taken as a unitary
transaction, was fair to the holders of Shares receiving such consideration
(other than CECI and its affiliates). In this connection, Goldman Sachs opined
as to the aggregate consideration to be received per Share by Magma stockholders
in both the Offer and the Merger taken as a whole and as a single transaction.
In view of the integrated returns of the Offer and the Merger, Goldman Sachs was
not requested by the Magma Board to render, and did not render, a separate
opinion as to the fairness of the consideration to be received by Magma
stockholders in the Merger viewed as a transaction separate from the Offer. A
copy of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated December 9, 1994, which sets
forth a description of the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of
its review, is attached to this Information Statement as Annex B. See "SPECIAL
FACTORS -- Opinion of Magma's Financial Adviser."
    
         On December 6, 1994, Gleacher & Co. Inc. ("Gleacher") delivered its
written opinion to the CECI Board that the consideration to be paid by CECI
pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to CECI from a financial point of
view. A copy of the written opinion of Gleacher, dated December 6, 1994, which
sets forth a description of the assumptions made, matters considered and limits
of its review, is attached to this Information Statement as Annex C. See
"SPECIAL FACTORS -- Opinion of CECI's Financial Adviser."

REQUIRED VOTE

         An affirmative vote approving and adopting the Merger Agreement at the
Magma Special Meeting by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares
entitled to vote thereon is required to consummate the Merger. As a result of
the completion of the Offer pursuant to which CE Sub acquired 12,400,000 Shares
for $39.00 per Share in cash (representing approximately 51% of the issued and
outstanding Shares), CE Sub owns a sufficient number of Shares to approve the
Merger without the affirmative vote of any other stockholder. Accordingly,
approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Magma Special Meeting is
assured.
   
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         In considering the recommendation of the Magma Board with respect to
the Offer, stockholders should be aware that certain members of Magma's
management and the Magma Board have certain interests in the Merger that are in
addition to the interests of Magma stockholders generally. See "RISK FACTORS."
    
STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

         It is a condition to the Merger that the shares of CECI Common Stock to
be issued pursuant to the Merger be authorized for listing on the NYSE.
Application will be made to list the CECI Common Stock to be issued pursuant to
the Merger on such exchange.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

         CECI, CE Sub and Magma know of no federal or state regulatory
requirements that must be complied with or approvals that must be obtained in
order to consummate the Merger, other than the filing of the Certificate of
Merger or the Merger Agreement with the Secretary of State of Nevada and the
Secretary of State of Delaware.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

         The Merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

     Holders of Shares do not have the right to  dissent  from the  Merger.  See
"SPECIAL FACTORS -- Dissenters' Rights."
   
COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

         If CECI elects to exercise its option to pay a portion of the Merger
Consideration in shares of CECI Common Stock, the rights of former Magma
stockholders as holders of CECI Common Stock will be governed by CECI's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which differ in certain
material respects from Magma's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Furthermore, as stockholders of CECI, the rights of the former Magma
stockholders as holders of CECI Common Stock will be governed by the Delaware
General Corporation Law instead of the Nevada General Corporation Law. See
"COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS."
    
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         The conversion of Shares into the Merger Consideration will be a
taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes and may also be taxable
under applicable state, local and other tax laws. For federal income tax
purposes, a holder of Shares will generally recognize gain or loss upon the
Merger in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the
Merger Consideration and the holder's adjusted tax basis in such Shares. See
"SPECIAL FACTORS--Federal Income Tax Consequences."

     The defeasance of the Senior Notes resulted in an extraordinary item in
     1994 in the amount of $2.0 million, after the tax effect of $1.0 million.
(3)  On January 1, 1993, CECI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
     No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), which resulted in a
     cumulative adjustment to net income of $4.1 million in 1993.

(4)  Fully diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of convertible subordinated
     debentures as if they were converted at the beginning of the reporting
     period.
(5)  The number of shares outstanding is calculated by using the
     treasury stock method.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a combination of
cash and CECI Common Stock, holders of Shares will become stockholders of CECI
and, in such connection, holders of Shares should consider carefully all of the
information contained in this Information Statement, including the following:

         POTENTIAL FOR FLUCTUATION OF VALUE OF MERGER CONSIDERATION. Pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, holders of Shares will only be able to determine the
number of shares of CECI Common Stock they will receive on the fifth business
day prior to the Magma Special Meeting. The stock price of CECI Common Stock on
the fifth business day prior to the Magma Special Meeting may vary significantly
from the price on the date of execution of the Merger Agreement, the date hereof
or the Effective Time. These variances may be due to changes in the business,
operations and prospects of CECI or Magma, general market and economic
conditions, and other factors. Accordingly, CECI Common Stock may trade at
values which, combined with the Mixed Cash Component Amount, results in the
holders of Shares receiving an amount lower in value than $39.00. The Collar
Provision also may have an impact on the value of the Merger Consideration at
the Effective Time. The Collar Provision limits the number of shares of CECI
Common Stock required to be issued in the Merger if the Average Closing Price is
less than $14.27. Thus, if the Average Closing Price falls below $14.27, holders
of Shares would receive an aggregate of CECI Common Stock and cash with a value
of less than $39.00.

     MARKET RISK OF A MIXED CASH AND CECI COMMON STOCK MERGER CONSIDERATION.  It
is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger  Consideration solely in cash, but
such  intention  is subject to change if (i) the proposed  underwriters  for the
Public  Offering  determine  that  they  cannot  or will not  proceed  with such
offering upon terms  reasonably  satisfactory to CECI or (ii) market  conditions
would require the issuance in the Public  Offering of a greater number of shares
of CECI Common  Stock in order to fund an all cash Merger than would be required
to be issued if the Merger  were  consummated  with a mixed cash and CECI Common
Stock  consideration.  If CECI elects to fund the Merger  using a mixed cash and
CECI Common Stock consideration,  holders of Shares would receive shares of CECI
Common  Stock,  the then  current  public  market for which  either  CECI or the
proposed  underwriters for the Public Offering would have previously  determined
to be unattractive for the purpose of funding the Merger on an all cash basis.

         PARTIAL DISADVANTAGE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ALL CASH MERGER CONSIDERATION.
If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, holders of Shares
would not receive any shares of CECI Common Stock, the public market for which
either or both of CECI or the underwriters for the Public Offering would have
determined to be a more attractive source to fund a portion of the Merger
Consideration. Accordingly, Magma's stockholders (other than those who reinvest
their cash receipts in CECI Common Stock) would no longer be afforded an
opportunity to realize any of the possible future benefits of the Merger which
could have been realized if CECI Common Stock was received in the Merger.

         ELECTION OF FORM OF MERGER CONSIDERATION BY CECI. CECI may elect, in
its sole and absolute discretion, whether to pay the Merger Consideration with a
combination of cash and CECI Common Stock or solely in cash. While CECI will
consider a number of factors in making such election, CECI's interests in
selecting the form of Merger Consideration will be different from, and may be in
opposition to, the interests of holders of Shares.

         DEVELOPMENT UNCERTAINTY. CECI is actively seeking to develop,
construct, own and operate new power projects utilizing geothermal and other
technologies, both domestically and internationally, the completion of any of
which is subject to substantial risk. CECI has in development or under
construction projects representing several times the MW's of those currently in
operation. Development can require CECI to expend significant sums for
preliminary engineering, permitting, legal and other expenses in preparation for
competitive

                                                        26




    
<PAGE>






bids which CECI may not win or before it can be determined whether a project is
feasible, economically attractive or capable of being financed. Successful
development and construction is contingent upon, among other things, negotiation
on terms satisfactory to CECI of engineering, construction, fuel supply and
power sales contracts with other project participants, receipt of required
governmental permits and consents and timely implementation of construction.
Further, there can be no assurance that CECI, which will continue to be
substantially leveraged upon completion of the Merger, will obtain access to the
substantial debt and equity capital required to continue to develop and
construct electric power projects or to refinance projects. The future growth of
CECI is dependent, in large part, upon the demand for significant amounts of
additional electrical generating capacity and its ability to obtain contracts to
supply portions of this capacity. There can be no assurance that development
efforts on any particular project, or CECI's efforts generally, will be
successful.

         DEVELOPMENT UNCERTAINTY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Upon completion of
the Merger, CECI will have three projects under construction outside the United
States representing an aggregate net capacity of 500 MW of electric generating
capacity of which CECI's aggregate net ownership interest is 409 MW and a number
of projects under award outside the Unites States. The financing and development
of projects outside the United States entail significant political and financial
risks (including, without limitation, uncertainties associated with first-time
privatization efforts in the countries involved, currency exchange rate
fluctuations, currency repatriation restrictions, political instability, civil
unrest and expropriation) and other structuring issues that have the potential
to cause substantial delays in respect of or material impairment of the value of
the project being developed, which CECI may not be capable of fully insuring
against. The uncertainty of the legal environment in certain foreign countries
in which CECI is developing and may develop or acquire projects could make it
more difficult for CECI to enforce its rights under agreements relating to such
projects. In addition, the laws and regulations of certain countries may limit
the ability of CECI to hold a majority interest in some of the projects that it
may develop or acquire. CECI's international projects may, in certain cases, be
terminated by the applicable foreign governments.
    
         EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION UNCERTAINTIES OF GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY RESOURCES. Geothermal exploration, development and operations are subject
to uncertainties similar to those typically associated with oil and gas
exploration and development, including dry holes and uncontrolled releases.
Because of the geological complexities of geothermal reservoirs, the geographic
area and sustainable output of geothermal reservoirs can only be estimated and
cannot be definitively established. There is, accordingly, a risk of an
unexpected decline in the capacity of geothermal wells and a risk of geothermal
reservoirs not being sufficient for sustained generation of the electrical power
capacity desired. In addition, while CECI's existing power generating systems
are built to withstand relatively significant levels of seismic disturbance and
CECI seeks appropriate insurance protection, geothermal power production poses
unusual risks of seismic activity. Accordingly, there can no assurance that
earthquake, property damage or business interruption insurance will be adequate
to cover all potential losses sustained in the event of serious seismic
disturbances or that such insurance will be available on commercially reasonable
terms.

         The success of a geothermal project depends on the quality of the
geothermal resource and operational factors relating to the extraction of the
geothermal fluids involved in such project. The quality of a geothermal resource
is affected by a number of factors, including the size of the reservoir, the
temperature and pressure of the geothermal fluids in such reservoir, the depth
and capacity of the production and injection wells, the amount of dissolved
solids and noncondensible gases contained in such geothermal fluids, and the
permeability of the subsurface rock formations containing such geothermal
resource, including the presence, extent and location of fractures in such
rocks. The quality of a geothermal resource may decline as a result of a number
of factors, including the intrusion of lower-temperature fluid into the
producing zone. An incorrect estimate by CECI of the quality of geothermal
resource, or a decline in such quality, could have a material adverse effect on
CECI's results of operations.

                                                        27




    
<PAGE>







         In addition, both the cost of operations and the operating performance
of geothermal power plants may be adversely affected by a variety of operating
factors. Production and injection wells can require frequent maintenance or
replacement. Corrosion caused by high-temperature and high-salinity geothermal
fluids may compel the replacement or repair of certain equipment, vessels or
pipelines. New production and injection wells may be required for the
maintenance of current operating levels, thereby requiring substantial capital
expenditures.
   
         COMPETITION. The international power production market is characterized
by numerous strong and capable competitors, many of which have more extensive
and more diversified developmental or operating experience (including
international experience) and greater financial resources than CECI. Many of
these competitors also compete in the domestic market. Further, in recent years,
the domestic power production industry has been characterized by strong and
increasing competition with respect to the industry's efforts to obtain new
power sales agreements, which has contributed to a reduction in prices offered
by utilities. In this regard, many utilities often engage in "competitive bid"
solicitations to satisfy new capacity demands. In the domestic market, the
Energy Policy Act of 1992 is expected to increase competition.

         PRESENT DEPENDENCE ON LARGE CUSTOMER. CECI currently relies on
long-term power purchase "Standard Offer No. 4" contracts (each, an "SO4
Agreement") with a single customer, Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"),
to generate substantially all of its operating revenues. Any material failure by
SCE to fulfill its contractual obligations under any of such contracts is likely
to have a material adverse effect on CECI's results of operations.

         CONTRACT RISKS; EXPECTED NEGATIVE IMPACT OF AVOIDED COST PRICING. Each
SO4 Agreement provides for both capacity payments and energy payments for a term
of between 20 to 30 years. During the first ten years of the term of each SO4
Agreement, energy payments are based on a pre-set schedule. Thereafter, while
the basis for the capacity payment remains the same, the required energy payment
is SCE's then-current published avoided cost of energy ("Avoided Cost of
Energy"), as determined by the California Public Utility Commission ("CPUC").
The initial ten-year period expires in August 1997 for the CECI's Navy I
Project, March 1999 for its BLM Project and January 2000 for its Navy II
Project. Such ten-year period expires in 1996 with respect to one of CECI's
Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area Projects (as hereinafter described),
in 1999 for three of CECI's Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area Projects
and in 2000 for the remaining two Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area
Projects that operate under SO4 Agreements.

         Estimates of SCE's future Avoided Cost of Energy vary substantially in
any given year. CECI cannot predict the likely level of Avoided Cost of Energy
prices under its SO4 Agreements with SCE at the expiration of the fixed-price
periods. SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy as determined by the CPUC is currently
substantially below the current energy prices under CECI's respective SO4
Agreements and is expected to remain so. For example, for September 1994, the
time period-weighted average of SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy was 2.2(cent) per
kWh, compared to the time period-weighted average September 1994 selling prices
for energy of approximately 10.9(cent) and 10.6(cent) per kWh, for CECI and
Magma, respectively. Thus, the revenues generated by each of CECI's facilities
operating under SO4 Agreements are likely to decline significantly after the
expiration of the fixed-price period.

         SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE. Following completion of the Merger, CECI will
continue to be substantially leveraged. As of September 30, 1994, CECI's total
consolidated indebtedness was $775.5 million, its total consolidated assets were
$1,087.1 million and its total stockholders' equity was $179.7 million. As of
such date, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the completion of the
Merger, CECI's total consolidated indebtedness was $1,476.9 million, its total
consolidated assets were $2,246.9 million and its total stockholders' equity was
$446.3 million. CECI's substantial level of debt presents the risk that CECI
might not generate

                                                        28




    
<PAGE>






sufficient cash to service CECI's indebtedness or that its leveraged capital
structure could limit its ability to finance the acquisition and development of
additional projects, to compete effectively or to operate successfully under
adverse economic conditions. However, all project financing debt of CECI's
project subsidiaries (aggregating approximately $955.5 million as of December
31, 1994) is substantially non-recourse to CECI and its other projects. See
"BUSINESS OF CECI AND MAGMA AND RELATED INFORMATION --Description of Projects,"
"CAPITALIZATION OF CECI" and "SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL
INFORMATION."

         CERTAIN RISKS OF THE MERGER. As a result of the Merger, CECI's total
assets, total liabilities and total resources will each approximately double.
Such rapid expansion could divert the resources and management time of CECI and
will require the integration of Magma's operations with those of CECI. There can
be no assurance that CECI will be successful in managing such growth or that it
will be able to achieve any of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

         IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS. CECI is subject to a
number of environmental laws and regulations affecting many aspects of its
present and future operations, including the disposal of various forms of waste,
the construction or permitting of new facilities and the drilling and operation
of new wells. Such laws and regulations generally require CECI to obtain and
comply with a wide variety of licenses, permits and other approvals. CECI also
remains subject to a varied and complex body of regulations that both public
officials and private individuals may seek to enforce. There can be no assurance
that existing regulations will not be revised or that new regulations will not
be adopted or become applicable to CECI which could have an adverse impact on
its operations. Although CECI does not currently expect the enactment of changes
in applicable environmental laws or regulations which would have a material
adverse effect on its business, the implementation of regulatory changes
imposing more comprehensive or stringent requirements on CECI, which would
result in increased compliance costs and could have a material adverse effect on
its results of operations. In addition, regulatory compliance for the
construction of new facilities is a costly and time-consuming process, and
intricate and rapidly changing environmental regulations may require major
expenditures for permitting and create the risk of expensive delays or material
impairment of project value if projects cannot function as planned due to
regulatory requirements or local opposition.

         SHARES OF CECI COMMON STOCK ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Pursuant to
CECI's Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "1986 Plan"), as of
September 30, 1994, CECI had outstanding various options to its officers,
directors and employees for the purchase of 3,371,075 shares of CECI Common
Stock, of which all of the shares of CECI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
said options have been registered pursuant to registration statements on Form
S-8, and, as and when fully vested, are available for immediate resale. Also as
of September 30, 1994, there were additional options outstanding to purchase
6,064,154 shares of CECI Common Stock, 5,789,163 of which were granted to PKS.
As of September 30, 1994, PKS has demand and piggyback registration rights with
respect to approximately 8,971,912 shares of CECI Common Stock (and any shares
of CECI Common Stock subsequently held by PKS including, without limitation, any
shares of CECI Common Stock purchased in the Public Offering), all options to
purchase shares of CECI Common Stock (and the shares issuable upon the exercise
of such options) and 3,393,197 shares of CECI Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the 1,247 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock held by PKS (or
upon conversion of CECI's Exchangeable Subordinated Debentures if issued upon
the exchange of the Series C Preferred Stock). In addition, 3,393,197 shares of
CECI Common Stock and 4,444,444 shares of CECI Common Stock have been reserved
for issuance pursuant to the conversion of the 1,247 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock held by PKS and the CECI's Convertible Subordinated Debentures
due July 31, 2000, respectively. Sales of substantial amounts of CECI Common
Stock or the availability of CECI Common Stock for sale, could have an adverse
impact on the market price of the CECI Common Stock and on CECI's ability to
raise additional capital through the sale of CECI Common Stock.

         CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. In considering the recommendation of the Magma
Board with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, holders of Shares should be aware that certain members of Magma's
management and the Magma Board have certain interests in the Merger that are in
addition to the interests of Magma stockholders generally. The Magma Board was
aware of these interests when it considered and approved the Merger and the
Merger Agreement.

         In November 1993, the Compensation Committee of the Magma Board (the
"Compensation Committee") determined that, in order to attract and retain key
executives of Magma, from time to time it would be in Magma's best interests to
enter into "change in control" agreements with key executives. The Compensation
Committee authorized Magma to enter into change of control agreements with its
officers in November 1993, subject to the following parameters:
    
         (A) provision for up to two times base and bonus salary;
         (B) accelerated vesting of options; and
         (C) continuation of health and insurance benefits.

         Each of the items referred to in (A) through (C) would be triggered by
a Change in Control (as defined below) of Magma followed by termination of the
relevant officer's employment by Magma within a specified period, other than for
cause, disability or retirement.

         On September 15, 1994, Magma entered into such change in control
agreements with each of its six current executive officers (Paul M. Pankratz,
Chairman of the Board, Ralph W. Boeker, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Jon R. Peele, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Kenneth
Kerr, Senior Vice President--Commercial Development, Trond Aschehoug, Vice
President--North American Operations, and Wallace C. Dieckmann, Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer) ("Agreement I") and with nine other officers (Tom
Hinrichs, Vice President--Government Affairs, David Olsen, Vice
President--Marketing, Jim Runchey, Vice President--Human Resources and
Administration, Russ Tenney, Vice President--Asian Operations, Steven Jaye, Vice
President--Legal Affairs, Mark Robinson, Vice President--Business Development,
Paul Zapf, Corporate Controller, Joe Asiala, Director--Resource Development and
Management, and Jim Turner, Director--Engineering and Technology) ("Agreement
II").

         The agreements provide for certain severance payments to those officers
in the event of the termination of their employment following a Change in
Control of Magma, consistent with the enabling resolutions passed by the
Compensation Committee in the fall of 1993. Each agreement has a term expiring
on December 31, 1997, renewable at the end of such term if mutually agreed to by
the officer and Magma.

         Agreement I provides that if the officer's employment is terminated by
Magma for any reason other than for Cause, Disability or Retirement (as such
terms are defined in Agreement I) or by the officer for Good Reason (as such
term is defined in Agreement I) within two years following a Change of Control
(as defined below), (i) Magma will pay the officer, within 30 days of the date
of termination, a cash payment (the "Severance Payment") equal to 200% of the
sum (the "Sum") of (A) the officer's base salary for the twelve months
immediately preceding the Change in Control and (B) the officer's entire
targeted bonus payable under Magma's Management Incentive Bonus Plan or other
executive bonus plan then in effect and (ii) all Magma deferred shares or
similar Magma securities and all options to purchase Magma securities then held
by the officer shall immediately vest. Magma will continue to provide the
officer and his or her dependents group life and health insurance benefits
substantially the same as those in effect prior to the Change of Control,
increased to the extent that such benefits are increased following the Change of
Control, for 24 months following the officer's date of termination. In the event
that any payments or benefits under the agreement would not be deductible (in
whole or in part) by Magma as a result of the application of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue

                                                        30




    
<PAGE>






Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Severance Payment will be reduced
until no portion of the Severance Payment and benefits is not deductible as a
result of Section 280G of the Code.

         Agreement II provides the same level of payments and benefits as
provided in Agreement I except that the Severance Payment shall equal 100% of
the applicable Sum and that health insurance benefits shall be provided for 12
months following a Change of Control.
   
         A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred (i) in the event
of the acquisition by any person, together with its affiliates, of beneficial
ownership of capital stock of Magma possessing 30% or more of the combined
voting power of the Shares, (ii) if within any two-year period, the majority of
the members of the Magma Board were to be comprised of individuals other than
those who were members at the beginning of such period, unless the members
elected during such period were approved by a majority of the Magma Board in
office immediately prior to the beginning of such period, (iii) if all or
substantially all of Magma's assets are sold as an entirety to any person or
related group of persons or (iv) if Magma is merged with or into another
corporation or another corporation is merged into Magma with the effect that
immediately after such transaction the stockholders of Magma immediately prior
to such transaction hold less than a majority in interest of the total voting
power entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees of the
entity surviving such transaction.

         At a regular scheduled Magma Board meeting held on September 20, 1994,
the Compensation Committee of Magma authorized a change of the definition of
"Good Reason" in these agreements, the effect of which would allow a covered
executive to resign for "Good Reason" if, after a Change of Control, the
executive were required to relocate more than 50 miles from his then current
place of employment.
    

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

         This Information Statement is furnished to stockholders of Magma in
connection with the Magma Special Meeting. The Magma Special Meeting will be
held on February 21, 1995, at 10:00 a.m., Nebraska time, at the Red Lion Hotel,
1616 Dodge Street, in Omaha, Nebraska. This Information Statement is first being
mailed to its respective stockholders on or about January __, 1995.

PURPOSE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS

         The stockholders of Magma will be asked to consider and vote upon the
Merger Agreement at the Magma Special Meeting. The Magma Special Meeting also
will be held for the purpose of transacting such other business, if any, as may
be incidental to the conduct of such meeting as may properly come before it.

RECORD DATE; VOTING RIGHTS
   
         The Magma Board has fixed the close of business on January 23, 1995 as
the Magma Record Date for determining holders entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Magma Special Meeting.

         As of the Magma Record Date, there were 24,128,912 Shares issued and
outstanding, entitling the holder thereof to one vote. Neither Magma nor CECI
knows of any matters other than as described in the Notice of Special Meeting
that are to come before the Magma Special Meeting.

<PAGE>






QUORUM

         The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of holders of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Magma Special Meeting is
necessary to constitute a quorum at the Magma Special Meeting. As a result of
the completion of the Offer and the purchase of Shares pursuant thereto, CE Sub
owns a sufficient number of Shares to constitute a quorum at the Magma Special
Meeting.

REQUIRED VOTE
   
         An affirmative vote approving and adopting the Merger Agreement at the
Magma Special Meeting by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares
entitled to vote thereon is required to consummate the Merger. As a result of
the completion of the Offer and the purchase of Shares pursuant thereto, CE Sub
owns a sufficient number of Shares to approve the Merger without the affirmative
vote of any other stockholder. Accordingly, approval and adoption of the Merger
Agreement at the Magma Special Meeting is assured.
    

                                SPECIAL FACTORS

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER

         In May 1991, representatives of CECI and Magma entered into discussions
and meetings to explore the possibility of combining the companies, and the two
companies exchanged certain information concerning their respective businesses
for the purpose of considering such a business combination or other acquisition
transaction. At the end of May 1991, the discussions were terminated as a result
of the inability of the parties to reach agreement concerning price and certain
other terms.

         In September 1991, a number of conversations between CECI's
representatives and persons believed by CECI to be Magma's representatives were
held regarding a possible merger of Magma with and into CECI. Based upon those
conversations, on September 26, 1991, after receiving the approval of CECI's
Executive Committee, CECI transmitted a proposed letter of intent to Magma. The
proposed letter of intent contemplated a consensual merger of Magma with and
into CECI. Pursuant to the proposed merger, each outstanding Share would have
been exchanged for approximately two shares of CECI Common Stock in a
transaction accounted for on a pooling of interests basis. Such a transaction
would have represented a value of $30.25 for each Share (approximately a 20%
premium to the then-prevailing market price) based upon the then current market
values of the respective companies' common stocks. After its receipt of the
proposed letter of intent, Magma advised CECI that Magma had no interest in
pursuing the proposed pooling of interests combination transaction.
   
         In August 1993, David L. Sokol, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
and then President of CECI, contacted Paul M. Pankratz, then Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Magma in order to propose a meeting to discuss various
matters of mutual interest. At a meeting in San Diego in September 1993, Mr.
Sokol and Steven A. McArthur, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of CECI, and Mr. Pankratz, Ralph W. Boeker, President of Magma, and
Jon R. Peele, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Magma, discussed
principally the possibility of joint venturing or other cooperation in respect
of certain pending power development projects in the Philippines and the
possible sharing of legal costs and information in respect of certain domestic
regulatory proceedings in which the companies had a common interest. During the
course of those discussions, Mr. Sokol suggested to Magma's management that such
potential cost savings were illustrative of certain of the synergies that a
combination of the companies could achieve. However, no agreements or
understandings were reached between CECI and Magma as a result of these
discussions. In addition, at that meeting CECI suggested to Magma that it
consider utilizing PKS as Magma's general
    
                                                        32

contractor in respect of Magma's pending projects in the Philippines. Magma's
management agreed to meet with PKS regarding its possible role as a contractor
in the Philippines. The meeting between Magma and PKS was held in the fall of
1993, but no agreements or understandings were reached with PKS and no further
discussions were held in respect of such matters.

         In January 1994, Mr. Sokol again contacted Mr. Pankratz by telephone in
an effort to resume the foregoing discussions and, at Mr. Pankratz's suggestion,
Mr. Sokol was asked to contact Mr. Boeker, the President and recently appointed
Chief Executive Officer of Magma, to discuss these matters further. In an April
1994 telephone conversation between Mr. Sokol and Mr. Boeker, the possibility of
cooperation with respect to international joint ventures between the companies
and other possible synergies between the companies were again generally
discussed, but no agreements or understandings were reached.
   
         On or about June 20, 1994, Mr. Sokol contacted Mr. Boeker and proposed
a meeting between members of management of the two companies to discuss the
possible combination of CECI and Magma. Such contact was made as a result of Mr.
Sokol's continuing belief that a combination of the two companies would provide
substantial operational benefits such as those more fully discussed under the
heading "BUSINESS OF CECI AND MAGMA AND RELATED INFORMATION -- General --
Reasons for the Merger." Mr. Sokol's belief was based on his experience and
knowledge of the industry and not on the basis of any study or report as to the
benefits of the possible combination. Prior to contacting Mr. Boeker, Mr. Sokol
did not discuss such combination with any member of the CECI Board nor with
CECI's financial advisors. At the time, CECI was not seeking merger partners in
general and, while it had discussed a possible merger with Magma in the past, it
had not yet determined to seek a combination with Magma. Mr. Boeker responded
favorably to Mr. Sokol's proposal to meet by agreeing to a meeting on August 11,
1994.

         On August 9, 1994, Mr. Sokol was advised that Mr. Boeker had declined a
scheduled August 11 meeting, and that Magma's decision to cancel was due to the
desire of Magma's management to dedicate its full attention to the pending
financing of Magma's Malitbog project in the Philippines.

         In response to Magma's cancellation of the scheduled August 11 meeting,
on September 15, 1994, Mr. Sokol contacted a member of the Magma Board, in an
effort to determine whether Magma had a serious interest in discussing a
negotiated combination of the companies within a time frame that would recognize
CECI's desire to make certain decisions regarding the strategic direction it
wished to pursue in the changing global marketplace. The director stated that he
was aware of certain of the past discussions between the companies, but would
ask Magma's management to respond directly to Mr. Sokol's inquiry.

         Later that same day, Messrs. Pankratz and Boeker called Mr. Sokol and
advised him that the closing of the financing for Magma's Malitbog project was
not expected to occur until November 1994 and suggested that they would not be
interested in meeting with Mr. Sokol until that time. Mr. Sokol stated that CECI
was considering a number of strategic alternatives, including a possible
combination with Magma, and that CECI's strategic planning had reached a stage
where a prompt decision concerning entering into negotiations regarding any
possible combination with Magma was required. Mr. Sokol further stated his
belief that it was unnecessary to wait until after the closing of the Malitbog
financing because CECI was prepared to negotiate in good faith on a basis that
would value Magma as though such financing had closed. Messrs. Boeker and
Pankratz reiterated that, in light of their belief that their attention was more
appropriately devoted to completion of Magma's Malitbog project, they would
agree to meet only after the Malitbog closing. Mr. Sokol concluded the call by
reiterating CECI's need to act upon certain of its strategic alternatives on a
prompt basis.

         On September 18, 1994, CECI retained Gleacher to serve as financial
advisor to CECI in connection with the possible acquisition of Magma by CECI.
The scope of Gleacher's engagement included providing

                                                        33




    
<PAGE>






advice and assistance with respect to defining transaction objectives,
structuring and planning the transaction, performing valuation analysis,
negotiating the transaction and performing due diligence. In addition, Gleacher
was retained in order to advise on arranging debt financing for the possible
acquisition of Magma.

         On September 19, 1994, Mr. Sokol wrote to Messrs. Pankratz and Boeker
proposing to acquire all outstanding Shares for $35 per Share comprised of
$25.00 in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI Common Stock (the "Initial
Proposal"). The form and amount of consideration offered to Magma pursuant to
the Initial Proposal was determined in consultation with Gleacher and was based
on CECI's internal review of publicly available information of and relating to
Magma. On September 20, 1994, Mr. Pankratz responded that the Magma Board would
consider the proposal and respond after completion of its evaluation.
    
         During the week of September 19, 1994, representatives of CECI
contacted management of The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow"), the beneficial owner
of approximately 21% of the Shares, to determine Dow's reaction to CECI's
proposal of September 19, 1994. The CECI representatives were told Dow was
evaluating such proposal. During the week of September 26, 1994, CECI's
financial representatives contacted management of Dow to inquire as to the
circumstances surrounding a recent sale by Dow of 857,143 Shares for $28.25 per
Share and an associated option agreement to acquire such Shares at the same
price, which Dow had reported in filings with the Commission, and in particular
whether any impediments existed to Dow's ability to freely dispose of such
Shares and whether any structural changes to CECI's merger proposal would be
helpful in this regard. Dow reported that it was considering such issues in the
context of CECI's proposal.
   
         On September 22, 1994, Magma announced its retention of Goldman, Sachs
& Co. ("Goldman Sachs") as its financial advisor in connection with the Initial
Proposal.

         On September 28, 1994, after telephone discussions between CECI's
financial advisors and Magma's financial advisors regarding CECI's request to
arrange a meeting between the parties, Messrs. Sokol and McArthur, together with
representatives from CECI's financial advisors, met with representatives from
Magma's financial advisor in order to introduce CECI and to further elaborate
and answer questions with respect to the details of CECI's proposal. CECI
provided the representatives from Magma's financial advisors with a letter to
Messrs. Pankratz and Boeker and copies of a draft merger agreement.

         At a meeting held on October 2 and 3, 1994, the Magma Board considered
Magma's business, financial condition and prospects, the terms and conditions of
the Initial Proposal, and CECI's business, financial condition and prospects.
Magma's management made detailed presentations regarding Magma's business plan
and the various strategic initiatives which Magma had undertaken both in the
United States and overseas. On October 3, 1994, Magma's financial advisors
informed CECI's financial advisors that the Magma Board had authorized Magma to
enter into a "poison pill" Rights Plan (the "Rights Agreement") at its Board
meeting which concluded on such date, but that the Magma Board had also
authorized Magma's financial advisors to meet with CECI's financial advisors as
soon as possible and, accordingly, a meeting was scheduled for the morning of
October 4, 1994. CECI subsequently learned through press reports that Magma had
amended its Bylaws to require that stockholder action occur only at a regular or
special meeting of stockholders rather than by way of a written consent
solicitation and that Magma also had filed a complaint against CECI seeking a
declaratory judgment that (i) the Magma Board had properly discharged its
fiduciary duties in adopting the Rights Agreement and an amendment to Magma's
Bylaws and, accordingly, such agreement and amendment were valid and binding,
and (ii) the Merger Moratorium Statute (as defined below) is valid and not in
violation of the Commerce Clause and Supremacy Clause of the United States
Constitution.

         On October 4, 1994, at the meeting between CECI's financial advisors
and Magma's financial advisors, Magma's financial advisors informed CECI's
financial advisors that Magma was not for sale and that the value

                                                        34




    
<PAGE>






placed on Magma by the Initial Proposal did not reflect the intrinsic value of
Magma, which view was based on the presentations and discussions at Magma's
Board meeting held on October 2 through October 3. Magma's financial advisor did
not discuss or suggest any price which it believed reflected Magma's intrinsic
value.

         Following the defensive actions taken by Magma, on October 6, 1994 CE
Sub commenced a cash tender offer for 12,400,000 Shares at $35 per Share (the
"Previous Offer"). The Previous Offer sought approximately 51% of the
outstanding Shares rather than 100% of the Shares because (i) CECI intended the
Previous Offer as a step toward implementing the Initial Proposal and (ii) CECI
and CE Sub determined that an exchange offer for 100% of the Shares, which could
not be made until effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities
Act, would be less desirable from a timing perspective than a cash tender offer
which could be accepted in as little as twenty business days. CECI and CE Sub
intended that following completion of the Previous Offer, it would complete the
Initial Proposal by way of a merger of an affiliate of CECI into Magma in which
all Shares not owned by CECI and its affiliates would be converted into the
right to receive cash and CECI Common Stock having a combined cash and market
value of $35 per Share. The per Share amount of cash and CECI Common Stock to be
distributed in such merger was to be determined such that the blended purchase
price for all Shares acquired by CECI and its affiliates in the Previous Offer
and such merger would be $25 in cash and $10 in market value of CECI Common
Stock, subject to a collar provision that CECI intended to negotiate with Magma.
    
         On October 11, 1994, Magma filed with the Commission a
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the "Previous Schedule
14D-9") pursuant to the Exchange Act, which included the recommendation of the
Magma Board reached at its October 10, 1994 meeting that Magma's stockholders
reject the Previous Offer.

         On October 13, 1994, CECI announced the filing of a preliminary proxy
statement with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act in order to solicit
written requests from Magma's stockholders for the call of a Special Meeting of
Magma's stockholders (the "Requested Special Meeting"). The purpose of the
Requested Special Meeting was to provide Magma's stockholders the opportunity to
consider and vote on CECI's proposals which, if approved, would help facilitate
consummation of the Previous Offer.
   
         On October 21, 1994, CE Sub increased the price per Share to be paid in
the Previous Offer to $38.50 per Share (the "Revised Previous Offer"). The form
and amount of consideration offered to Magma pursuant to the Revised Previous
Offer was determined in consultation with Gleacher and was based on CECI's
internal review of publicly available information of and relating to Magma and
based on CECI's belief that the increased consideration was both prudent and
would allow a transaction to occur. On October 31, 1994, CECI learned that the
Magma Board had resolved at its meeting of that date to recommend that its
stockholders reject the Revised Previous Offer. In making this recommendation,
the Magma Board took into account inquiries received from various third parties
expressing interest in pursuing a possible business combination with Magma, the
terms of the Revised Previous Offer, which the Magma Board viewed as highly
conditional, the opinion of Goldman Sachs that the consideration provided for in
the Revised Previous Offer was inadequate, the Magma Board's understanding of
CECI's business and financial condition, including the degree of CECI's
leverage, CECI's existing projects, CECI's geothermal resources and CECI's
announced future projects. With respect to the inquiries received from third
parties, while Magma permitted extensive due diligence to be conducted by
certain parties which signed confidentiality agreements and held initial
meetings with several other parties, no specific offers were made and no dollar
amounts for Magma were discussed. In rendering its opinion on October 28,
Goldman Sachs reviewed the following topics with the Magma Board: (A) an
overview of the Revised Previous Offer; (B) a summary of certain financial
information regarding Magma; (C) trading histories of the Shares as well as
shares of CECI Common Stock; (D) a comparison of market trading prices as well
as certain other financial statistics of several companies within the
independent power production industry (the

                                                        35

"Industry"); (E) a summary of recent acquisition transactions within the
Industry; (F) a summary of certain publicly available information concerning
CECI and its business; (G) the application of certain valuation methodologies
and analyses, including a discount cash flow analysis, based upon certain
assumptions stated therein, to Magma; (H) an analysis of the pro forma impact of
a possible transaction with CECI; (I) analyses of selected financial and
strategic alternatives; and (J) analyses of the pro forma impact of possible
transactions with certain potential acquirors.
    
         On November 1, 1994, CECI announced that it had put its best offer on
the table and that it intended to withdraw its acquisition proposal if it had
not signed a merger agreement with Magma or received sufficient written requests
to call the Requested Special Meeting by December 2, 1994. Throughout November
1994, CECI solicited written consents for the call of the Requested Special
Meeting, which solicitation was actively opposed by Magma.
   
         As of the close of business on December 2, 1994, CECI had neither
entered into a merger agreement with Magma nor received sufficient written
requests to call the Requested Special Meeting. Consequently, CECI announced by
press release, and Mr. Sokol placed telephone calls to Messrs. Pankratz and
Boeker and to a representative of Dow to advise them, that CECI had withdrawn
its acquisition proposal and had terminated the Revised Previous Offer. As a
result of these telephone conversations, and follow up telephone conversations
among the parties and their advisors, CECI and Magma arranged to meet the
following day in New York to explore the possibility of a negotiated acquisition
of Magma by CECI. The meeting was arranged between CECI and Magma because their
respective financial advisors advised that it would be in the parties'
respective best interests to discuss the possibility of a negotiated transaction
at a higher consideration and because Dow indicated it would consider supporting
a negotiated transaction at a higher consideration. In addition, Magma resumed
the negotiations because a large number of Magma stockholders had requested the
call of the Requested Special Meeting and because Magma believed that such
negotiations would be the final opportunity to achieve the highest possible
offer from CECI and the best available transaction for Magma.

         From December 3, 1994 through the morning of December 5, 1994,
representatives of CECI and Magma, together with their legal and financial
advisors, met to negotiate the terms of a proposed acquisition of Magma by CECI.
The Magma Board met to consider and approve the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby on December 4 and 5, 1994. Following continued
negotiations regarding the definitive agreements, the Merger Agreement was
signed on the morning of December 5, 1994.

         The principal participants in the meetings held on December 3 through
the morning of December 5, 1994, were: Messrs. Sokol and McArthur, and John G.
Sylvia, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of CECI;
Messrs. Boeker, Pankratz and Peele from Magma; representatives of Gleacher and
Willkie Farr & Gallagher on behalf of CECI; and representatives of Goldman Sachs
and Shearman & Sterling on behalf of Magma. The material issues discussed by the
parties were the form and amount of the consideration to be paid in a
transaction, the structure of a transaction, covenants relating to conduct of
the respective businesses pending completion of a transaction, reciprocal
termination fees, a "no shop" provision, a "standstill" provision in case the
transaction failed to close due to any action by CECI, and the ability of CECI
to secure the financing necessary to complete a transaction. Representatives of
Credit Suisse and its counsel, Chadbourne & Parke, assisted in the discussions
relating to the ability of CECI to finance a transaction.

         Representatives of CECI and Magma each sought to structure the
transaction in two steps, the first as a tender offer to obtain control of Magma
and the second as a merger to permit the acquisition of the entire remaining
equity interest in Magma. CECI sought this transaction structure in order to
obtain operating control of Magma at the earliest possible time, and Magma
sought this structure in order to enable Magma stockholders to receive a portion
of the transaction consideration at the earliest possible time. The form and
amount of the

                                                        36




    
<PAGE>






consideration was determined by the parties in consultation with their
respective financial advisors and was based on the form of the consideration
that had been offered by CECI pursuant to the Revised Previous Offer.
Representatives of CECI proposed that the transaction consideration be a
combination of cash and CECI Common Stock and that any increase in such
consideration be paid in additional shares of CECI Common Stock. Representatives
of Magma proposed that the transaction consideration be paid entirely in cash.
The parties then discussed an increase in the consideration from a blended
amount of $28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI Common Stock, as
contemplated by the Revised Previous Offer, to a blended amount of $28.50 in
cash and $10.50 in market value of CECI Common Stock. In light of Magma's desire
to have the consideration paid entirely in cash, CECI proposed that, at its
option, CECI could pay the consideration all in cash (rather than in cash and
CECI Common Stock) such that the blended all cash consideration paid in the
Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Share. As a result of (i) the agreement
of the parties that CECI could, at its option, pay the Merger Consideration
entirely in cash, at a blended value of $38.75 per Share, and (ii) Magma's
insistence that the consideration paid in the Offer be $39.00 per Share, the per
share Merger Consideration payable if CECI elects the all cash alternative will
be in the range of $38.47 to $38.49, which amount is less than the amount per
share in the Offer. Accordingly, the parties did not discuss the fact that the
amount to be paid in the Merger would be less than the value of the Revised
Previous Offer less than the cash amount in the Offer and less than the value of
the Merger Consideration if it were paid with a combination of cash and CECI
Common Stock. In light of the fact that the Merger Agreement was negotiated on
an arms length basis prior to the time CECI became an affiliate of Magma, Magma
did not appoint a special committee composed of directors who are not employees
of Magma, did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf
of unaffiliated stockholders of Magma for the purposes of negotiating the terms
of the Merger Agreement and did not voluntarily accord Magma stockholders
appraisal rights.

         On January 10, 1995, CECI consummated the Offer and purchased
12,400,000 Shares pursuant thereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, nine
members of the 11 member Magma Board resigned and six nominees of CECI and CE
Sub were elected to fill such vacancies. At such time, the size of the Magma
Board was reduced to eight directors. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, CECI
and CE Sub have designated a majority of the Magma Board.

PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE OF THE MERGER

         CECI and CE Sub's purpose for entering into the Merger Agreement and
consummating the Offer and the Merger is to acquire the entire equity interest
in Magma because CECI believes that combining the businesses of CECI and Magma
will provide an excellent strategic fit due to synergies and other benefits
which will result from combining the operations of Magma and CECI pursuant to
the Merger Agreement and will strengthen the combined companies' competitive
position in the increasingly challenging business environment and global markets
in which they operate. See "SPECIAL FACTORS--Recommendations of the Board of
Directors of Magma and CECI; Reasons for the Merger; Fairness of the Offer and
the Merger." The Merger is structured as a merger because it ensures that CECI
will acquire beneficial ownership of 100% of the equity of Magma in a single
transaction. CECI's acquisition of the Shares owned by the holders of the Shares
other than CECI and its subsidiaries will enable CECI to realize the benefits
and bear the risks of complete ownership of Magma including the opportunity to
(i) facilitate inter-company activity between Magma and CECI, (ii) permit
combinations of management and other resources of CECI and Magma, including,
among other things, the consolidation and rationalization of Magma's business
and operating structure with a view to improving operations and reducing
expenses of Magma and CECI (see "--Certain Effects of the Merger; Operations
After the Merger"), (iii) enable Magma's management (or any successors thereto)
to devote itself to building long-term values for Magma without concern that
such efforts may adversely affect short-term results and the market price of the
Shares, and (iv) eliminate the need for Magma to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, to maintain separately audited financial
statements and to maintain its current listing on the

                                                        37




    
<PAGE>






NNM. In addition, CECI believes that if Magma were to continue to have public
stockholders, Magma would require more management time and attention than it
would as a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI.

         The Merger will be effected by causing CE Sub to merge with and into
Magma. As a result, Magma will be the corporation surviving the Merger and will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI after the Effective Time.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MAGMA AND CECI; REASONS FOR THE
MERGER; FAIRNESS OF THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

         Magma. The Magma Board held separate meetings on December 4 and 5,
1994. At the December 5, 1994 meeting, the Magma Board unanimously approved
(with two directors absent) the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby and determined that the Offer and the Merger were fair to,
and in the best interests of, the stockholders of Magma. The two directors
absent were William R. Knee and John D. Roach, each of whom was travelling and
therefore unable to attend, or participate in, the December 5, 1994 Magma Board
meeting. The Magma Board recommended that all holders of Shares accept the Offer
and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Magma Board approved the
Merger as part of its recommendations to the stockholders of Magma that they
tender their shares to CECI pursuant to the Offer. In the course of reaching its
decision to approve the Merger Agreement, Magma's Board consulted with its
financial advisors as to the legal terms of the transaction and the obligations
of Magma's Board in its consideration of the Merger Agreement.

         In reaching its determinations and recommendations with respect to the
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Magma Board took
into account the following factors, which constitute all material factors
considered by the Magma Board at its December 4 and 5, 1994 board meetings:

                  (i) The improvement to the financial terms of the Revised
         Previous Offer. Specifically, the Board considered the increase in the
         blended average per Share consideration offered from $28.50 in cash and
         $10.00 in CECI Common Stock to, at the option of CECI, either $28.50 in
         cash and $10.50 in CECI Common Stock or $38.75 in cash. In this regard,
         the Magma Board also considered that a two-step transaction had been
         negotiated such that the Magma stockholders would receive a portion of
         the transaction consideration at the earliest possible time as well as
         the possibility that Magma stockholders might receive all cash as
         Merger Consideration. The Magma Board did not specifically consider the
         $.50 increase in the mixed cash and CECI Common Stock consideration in
         relation to the all cash option, but focused instead on the full
         blended consideration to be paid in each alternative and, in this
         regard, considered the fact that because the blended value of the all
         cash alternative was less than the nominal value of the mixed
         consideration alternative, CECI would have an incentive to select the
         all cash option.

                  (ii) The improvement to the terms and conditions of the
         Revised Previous Offer such as the entitlement of Magma to receive a
         fee of $8,000,000 if CECI failed to complete the Offer and had not
         delivered a commitment letter or definitive loan documentation
         reflecting the financing necessary to consummate the Offer and the
         Merger which generally contained a provision for the prompt amendment
         of the financing commitment to (a) eliminate the due diligence
         condition and (b) provide a definition of "material adverse effect"
         that substantially conforms with such definitions contained in the
         Merger Agreement with respect to CECI and Magma.

                  (iii)  The Magma Board's familiarity with the financial
condition and future prospects of Magma including the prospects of Magma were it
to remain independent.  The Magma Board

                                                        38




    
<PAGE>






         considered Magma's potential for development of new opportunities, the
         risk that such opportunities might not materialize, the fact that Magma
         would be required to substantially increase its borrowings and to seek
         new infusions of capital in order to benefit from such opportunities,
         and the increased risk associated with financing and developing any
         such opportunity. The Magma Board believed that its familiarity with
         the foregoing, in conjunction with the other factors discussed in
         paragraphs (i) through (xii), supported its recommendation.

                  (iv) The presentation of Goldman Sachs at the December 4 and
         5, 1994 meetings and the oral opinion of Goldman Sachs (which was
         subsequently confirmed in writing) delivered to the Magma Board at the
         December 5, 1994 meeting that, as of December 5, 1994, the
         consideration to be received by the holders of the Shares in the Offer
         and the Merger, taken as a unitary transaction, was fair to the holders
         of Shares receiving such consideration (other than CECI and its
         affiliates). The full text of the written opinion, dated December 9,
         1994, which confirms the December 5th oral opinion of Goldman Sachs and
         sets forth the assumptions made, the matters considered and the
         limitations on the review undertaken by Goldman Sachs, is attached as
         Annex B hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Such opinion
         should be read carefully in its entirety by holders of Shares in
         conjunction with the foregoing matters.

                  (v) The Magma Board's belief that the reasonably likely
         alternatives were unlikely to provide values to the stockholders of
         Magma superior to the Offer, which belief was based on, among other
         things, the report of management and Goldman Sachs with respect to the
         status of the contacts and discussions that had been undertaken based
         upon the Magma Board's resolution on October 28, 1994 to explore all
         alternatives available to further the best interests of Magma's
         stockholders.

                  (vi) The provision of the Merger Agreement permitting Magma to
         terminate the Merger Agreement if any person shall have a bona fide
         offer that the Magma Board determines in its good faith judgment and in
         the exercise of its fiduciary duties is more favorable to Magma's
         stockholders than the Merger.

                  (vii) The provision of the Merger Agreement prohibiting the
         solicitation by Magma of other proposals and the termination provisions
         of the Merger Agreement providing that CECI and CECI Sub could be
         entitled to receive a fee of $8,000,000, as well as reimbursement of
         all out-of-pocket fees and expenses actually incurred by them or on
         their behalf in connection with the Previous Offer, the Offer, the
         Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement under
         certain circumstances (see "THE MERGER AGREEMENT"). After consulting
         with its legal and financial advisors, among other things, the Magma
         Board concluded that, in view of the other provisions of the Merger
         Agreement and the Magma Board's view with respect to possible
         alternatives, it was in the best interests of the Magma stockholders to
         accept these provisions in order to induce CECI to execute the Merger
         Agreement.

                  (viii) The Collar Provision which protects, within certain
         limits, the value of CECI Common Stock to be received by the Magma
         stockholders in the Merger, but which might cause the value of the cash
         and CECI Common Stock received by Magma stockholders to be less than
         $39.00.

                  (ix) The fact that if the Offer and the Merger were
         consummated and if CECI were to elect to pay the Merger Consideration
         solely with cash, Magma's stockholders would no longer be offered an
         opportunity to participate in future growth prospects of the combined
         companies. However, the Magma Board believed that the premium being
         offered in the Offer and the Merger fairly compensates for that loss of
         opportunity and noted that there was still a possibility, if CECI were
         to elect to pay the

                                                        39

         Merger Consideration with a combination of CECI Common Stock and cash,
         that the Merger Consideration could include CECI Common Stock.

                  (x) The Magma Board's confidence that the highest offer had
been received from CECI.

                  (xi) The Magma Board viewed the acquisition of Magma as a
         single transaction, and considered the fact that the parties negotiated
         on the basis of a blended consideration to be received by Magma
         stockholders in the Offer and the Merger. The Magma Board considered
         that as a result of (i) the agreement of the parties that CECI could,
         at its option, pay the Merger Consideration entirely in cash, at a
         blended value of $38.75 per Share, and (ii) Magma's insistence that the
         consideration paid in the Offer be $39.00 per Share, the per share
         Merger Consideration payable if CECI elects the all cash alternative
         will be in the range of $38.47 to $38.49, which amount is less than the
         amount per share in the Offer. The Magma Board also considered that,
         assuming the Average Closing Price is between $14.27 and $18.73, the
         value of the Merger Consideration will be less if CECI elects the all
         cash alternative than if CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration in
         a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock.

                  (xii)  Certain risks associated with the Offer and the
          Merger, as set forth under "RISK FACTORS."

         The Magma Board considered each of the factors listed above during the
course of its deliberations and negotiations prior to entering into the Merger
Agreement. The Magma Board evaluated the factors listed above in light of their
knowledge of the business and operations of Magma and their business judgment.
During its evaluation, the Magma Board recognized that the price differentials
between the Offer and the all cash alternative Merger Consideration and between
the all cash alternative and the mixed cash and CECI Common Stock alternative
resulted from arms' length negotiation between the parties. The Magma Board
viewed the acquisition of Magma as a single transaction and, accordingly, only
sought an opinion from Goldman Sachs on the Offer and the Merger taken as a
unitary transaction. In light of the fact that (i) the Merger Agreement was
negotiated on an arms' length basis prior to the time CECI became an affiliate
of Magma and (ii) all of Magma's stockholders prior to consummation of the Offer
would be entitled to the foregoing benefits and detriments, Magma did not
appoint a special committee composed of directors who are not employees of
Magma, did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of
unaffiliated stockholders of Magma for the purposes of negotiating the terms of
the Merger Agreement and did not voluntarily accord Magma stockholders appraisal
rights. The Magma Board did not consider the lack of appraisal rights by Magma
stockholders and did not consider the liquidation value of Magma during the
course of their consideration of the Offer and the Merger. The presentation of
Goldman Sachs was strongly favorable to the Magma Board's determination and
while the Magma Board did not take any specific action with respect to the
presentation, in making its favorable determination regarding the Offer and the
Merger, the Magma Board adopted the overall analyses and conclusions of the
presentation.

         Each of the foregoing factors was viewed positively by Magma's Board,
and the Magma Board neither identified nor discussed any other material negative
factor in connection with its deliberations with respect to the Merger
Agreement. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with
the evaluation of the Offer and the Merger, the Magma Board did not find it
practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative
weights to the specific factors considered in making their determination.
However, as a general matter, the Magma Board believed that factors discussed in
paragraphs (i) through (xi) supported its decision to approve the Offer and the
Merger and outweighed the risks and detriments associated therewith referred to
in paragraphs (i), (iii), (v), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii). The Magma Board
approved the Merger as

                                                        40

part of its recommendations to the stockholders of Magma that they tender their
shares to CECI pursuant to the Offer.

         CECI. On September 19, 1994, CECI's Board approved a proposal to
acquire the outstanding Shares for $35.00 per Share for consideration consisting
of cash and CECI Common Stock, and authorized certain officers of CECI to
negotiate modifications to the foregoing proposal (including the final price and
form of the consideration) in consultation with members of the Executive
Committee of CECI. On December 6, 1994, CECI's Board unanimously ratified and
approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

         In the course of reaching its decision to ratify and approve the Merger
Agreement, CECI's Board consulted with its financial advisors regarding the
financial aspects and fairness of the Merger, and with its legal advisors
regarding the legal terms of the transaction and the obligations of CECI's Board
in its consideration of the Merger Agreement. CECI's Board concluded that the
Merger will further CECI's objectives in part because of its belief that Magma
is an excellent strategic fit and that the acquisition will create significant
benefits, including: (i) expansion and enhancement of development efforts, (ii)
benefits of increased size, (iii) opportunities for operational and
administrative cost savings, and (iv) diversification in sources of revenue and
operations. For a further discussion of these factors, see "BUSINESS OF CECI AND
MAGMA AND RELATED INFORMATION -- General -- Reasons For the Merger."

         In reaching its determinations and recommendations with respect to the
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, CECI's Board took
into account numerous factors, including, among other things, in addition to the
foregoing, the following:

         (i) CECI's knowledge and review of the business, operations,
         properties, assets, financial condition and operating results of each
         of CECI and Magma. CECI's Board found that these factors supported
         their determinations and recommendations because, as a result of its
         favorable view of Magma, the Board believed CECI would realize benefits
         that would improve CECI's competitive position, including expansion and
         enhancement of development efforts, the benefits of increased size,
         opportunities for operational and administrative cost savings and
         diversification in sources of revenues and operations;

         (ii) The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which were the
         product of arms' length negotiations, including the amount and form of
         the consideration. CECI's Board found that these factors supported
         their determinations and recommendations because (a) the terms of the
         Merger Agreement were generally evenhanded, (b) the pricing structure
         gave CECI the option of alternative forms of consideration and through
         the Collar Provision limited the number of shares of CECI Common Stock
         required to be issued in the Merger, (c) the two-tier structure
         contemplated by the Merger Agreement allowed CECI to obtain control of
         Magma at the earliest possible time, thereby laying the groundwork for
         realizing the benefits of the transaction sooner rather than later and
         (d) the Merger Agreement (including the tender offer conditions) gave
         CECI adequate protection in the form of representations and warranties
         as to the business and operations of Magma;

         (iii) The Gleacher Report and the Gleacher Opinion delivered to CECI's
         Board (as discussed more fully below) that the Consideration to be paid
         by CECI pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to CECI from a
         financial point of view. CECI's Board found that these factors
         supported their determinations and recommendations because the Gleacher
         Report and the Gleacher Opinion spoke directly to the fairness of the
         transaction to CECI, the Board felt comfortable with the scope of work
         performed by Gleacher and the Board believed that Gleacher had done a
         competent and professional job;

                                                        41




    
<PAGE>







         (iv) The fact that the effect of the Merger would be accretive on a pro
         forma per share basis. CECI's Board found that this factor supported
         their determinations and recommendations because it indicated a
         reasonable likelihood that earnings per share of CECI Common Stock
         would increase as a result of the transaction; and

         (v) Current industry, economic and market conditions. CECI's Board
         found that these factors supported their determinations and
         recommendations because (a) the development of new opportunities,
         particularly internationally, is a key component of CECI's strategy,
         (b) the international power production market is characterized by
         numerous strong and capable competitors and (c) based on CECI's belief
         that potential customers consider both the price of power and the
         provider's capacity to fulfill its obligations as primary factors in
         the selection of power suppliers, CECI believes that increased size is
         an important factor in determining the success of an independent power
         producer competing in the global power market.

         CECI's Board considered each of the factors listed above during the
course of its deliberations and negotiations prior to entering into the Merger
Agreement. Each of the foregoing factors, which constitute all material factors
considered by CECI's Board, was viewed positively by CECI's Board, and CECI's
Board neither identified nor discussed any material negative factor in
connection with its deliberations with respect to the Merger Agreement. CECI's
Board evaluated the factors listed above in light of their knowledge of the
business and operations of Magma and their business judgement. In view of the
wide variety of factors considered in connection with the evaluation of the
Offer and the Merger, CECI's Board did not find it practicable to, and did not,
quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the specific factors
considered in making their determinations.

         In considering the Merger Agreement, CECI's Board identified no
significant disadvantages to the combining of the businesses of CECI and Magma.
CECI's Board considered the synergies expected to result from such a combination
and determined that the economic value of such synergies was not a material
determinant in establishing CECI's Board's belief that the Merger Consideration
represents a fair value for the Shares. CECI's Board considered the possibility
that the synergies predicted by CECI's management may ultimately fail to occur
but determined that such an occurrence would not be material to CECI's Board's
approval of the payment in the Merger of the premium to market price and book
value represented by the Merger Consideration. CECI's Board gave significant
weight to CECI's pro forma analysis, which indicates CECI's belief that, among
other things, on a consolidated basis, consummation of the Offer and the Merger
will be accretive to per share earnings and will not materially increase CECI's
debt to equity ratio.
    
         CECI believes the consideration paid in the Offer and the Merger, taken
together, is fair to the stockholders of Magma. CECI's belief is based upon the
fact that the terms of the Offer and the Merger Agreement were the product of
arm's length negotiations between CECI, Magma and their respective financial and
legal advisors and were approved by the Magma Board at a time when neither CECI
nor its affiliates was a member of the Magma Board, that the Magma Board
received a fairness opinion from Goldman Sachs, that a substantial majority of
the holders of Shares executed requests for the call of the Requested Special
Meeting, and that the Magma Board believed that the reasonably likely
alternatives to the Offer and the Merger were unlikely to provide values to the
stockholders of Magma superior to the Offer. While the Merger does not require
the approval of a majority of the unaffiliated stockholders of Magma, CECI
believes that the Merger is procedurally fair to the stockholders of Magma for
the reasons set forth above.
   
         General. In the course of preparing their respective opinions, Gleacher
and Goldman Sachs conducted the analyses described above, several of which
resulted in quantifiable per Share values in excess of $38.75. Gleacher's second
discounted cash flow analysis (which took into account substantially all of
Magma's future

                                                        42




    
<PAGE>






development projects) resulted in values in excess of $50 per Share, and its
trading valuation analysis resulted in a per Share valuation range of $39 to
$54. Goldman Sachs' discounted cash flow analysis resulted in a per Share
valuation range of $24 to $52. Notwithstanding such values, the CECI Board and
the Magma Board believe the transaction is fair because such boards believe, and
have been so cautioned by their respective financial advisors, that the
individual analyses undertaken by the financial advisors cannot be viewed in
isolation from the entirety of the analyses performed by them and because, in
the case of the discounted cash flow analyses, such analyses produced
significantly lower per Share values than available to the holders of Shares in
the Offer and the Merger.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

         Magma. The Magma Board considered the following alternatives to the
Offer and the Merger: (i) pursuing its long-term business plan and remaining an
independent entity, (ii) entering into a plan of recapitalization, pursuant to
which Magma would either buy Shares from the Magma stockholders or distribute a
cash dividend to the Magma stockholders, and (iii) entering into a strategic
alliance or combination with other partners. The Magma Board determined not to
pursue alternatives (i) and (ii) because it believed that the Offer and the
Merger provided greater value to Magma's stockholders and because the Magma
Board believed that, in light of the need for additional borrowings to fund
future development projects, borrowings to accomplish a Share buyback or special
dividend would not be in Magma's long-term best interest. The Magma Board
determined that while pursuit of Magma's long-term business plan could possibly
produce a greater long-term value for the Magma stockholders than the Initial
Proposal, the Previous Offer and the Revised Previous Offer, no assurances to
that effect could be given, and in light of the firm present offer from CECI,
the Magma stockholders' interests were best served by consummation of the Offer
and the Merger. The Magma Board rejected alternative (iii) because, despite the
public announcement of the Previous Offer, there was an absence of firm
proposals by potential acquirors and the Magma Board believed that reasonably
likely alternatives were unlikely to provide value to Magma's stockholders
greater than the values provided to them in the Offer and the Merger.

         CECI. In light of its belief regarding the excellent strategic fit of
Magma with CECI and the significant benefits expected to be gained as a result
of the Merger, the CECI Board considered no alternatives to the acquisition of
Magma.
    
OPINION OF MAGMA'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR

         The Magma Board retained Goldman Sachs as Magma's exclusive financial
advisor in connection with the Initial Proposal and the ensuing related events,
including the Offer and the Merger. Goldman Sachs is an internationally
recognized investment banking firm and is continually engaged in the valuation
of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions,
negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of
listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate,
corporate and other purposes. The Magma Board selected Goldman Sachs to act as
Magma's exclusive financial advisor based on Goldman Sachs' familiarity with
Magma and Goldman Sachs' substantial experience in mergers and acquisitions and
in securities valuation generally. No limitations were imposed by the Magma
Board upon Goldman Sachs with respect to the investigations made or procedures
followed by Goldman Sachs in rendering its opinion.
   
         On December 5, 1994, Goldman Sachs delivered its oral opinion (which
was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Magma Board that, as of December
5, 1994, the Consideration (as defined below) to be received by the holders of
the Shares in the Offer and the Merger, taken as a unitary transaction, was fair
to the holders of Shares receiving such Consideration (other than CECI and its
affiliates). For purposes of Goldman Sachs'

                                                        43




    
<PAGE>






opinion, the term "Consideration" means the consideration to be received by the
holders of Shares in the Offer and the Merger, taken as a unitary transaction
(regardless of the payment option chosen by CECI with respect to the Merger as
discussed under the caption "THE MERGER AGREEMENT -- Terms of the Merger"). In
this connection, Goldman Sachs opined as to the aggregate consideration to be
received per Share by Magma stockholders in both the Offer and the Merger taken
as a whole and as a single transaction. In view of the integrated returns of the
Offer and the Merger, Goldman Sachs was not requested by the Magma Board to
render, and did not render, a separate opinion as to the fairness of the
consideration to be received by Magma stockholders in the Merger viewed as a
transaction separate from the Offer. THE FULL TEXT OF THE WRITTEN OPINION, DATED
DECEMBER 9, 1994, WHICH CONFIRMS GOLDMAN SACHS' DECEMBER 5, 1994 ORAL OPINION
AND SETS FORTH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE, THE MATTERS CONSIDERED AND THE LIMITATIONS
ON THE REVIEW TAKEN BY GOLDMAN SACHS, IS ATTACHED TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
AS ANNEX B AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. HOLDERS OF SHARES ARE URGED
TO AND SHOULD READ SUCH OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY.
    
         In connection with its opinion, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other
things, the Merger Agreement; Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports
on Form 10-K of Magma and CECI for the five years ended December 31, 1993;
certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of
Magma and CECI; certain other communications from Magma and CECI to their
respective stockholders; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for
Magma prepared by the management of Magma; and certain internal financial
analyses and forecasts for Magma and CECI prepared by the management of CECI.
Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior managements of
each of Magma and CECI regarding the past and current business operations,
financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and as
combined in the contemplated Merger. Goldman Sachs reviewed the reported price
and trading activity for both the Shares and the CECI Common Stock, compared
certain financial and stock market information for Magma and CECI, respectively,
with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are
publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the independent power production industry specifically and in
other industries generally and considered such other information, held such
other discussions and performed such other studies and analyses as it considered
appropriate.
   
         Goldman Sachs relied without independent verification upon the accuracy
and completeness of all of the financial and other information reviewed by it
for purposes of its opinion. In addition, Goldman Sachs did not make an
independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Magma or
CECI or any of their respective subsidiaries and was not furnished with any such
evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs was not requested to, and did not,
perform a stand-alone liquidation analysis of Magma, and there can be no
assurance that such an analysis would not have resulted in a higher or lower
value than the Consideration.

         The terms of the engagement of Goldman Sachs by Magma are set forth in
a letter agreement dated September 26, 1994 between Goldman Sachs and Magma (the
"Goldman Engagement Letter"). Pursuant to the terms of the Goldman Engagement
Letter, Magma has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs (a) an initial fee of $850,000,
(b) a transaction fee in the event of any transaction in which at least 50% of
the outstanding Shares are acquired, or all or substantially all of the assets
of Magma are transferred, equal to 0.4% of the aggregate value of such
transaction up to $35.00 per share, plus 1.666% of the aggregate value of such
transaction in excess of $35.00 per share up to $38.00 per share, plus 2.5% of
the aggregate value of such transaction in excess of $38.00 per share and (c) a
financial advisory fee to the extent no transaction of the type described in
clause (b) above has been consummated equal to 0.4% of the market value of
Magma's outstanding Shares as determined on September 20, 1994, payable in four
equal installments due December 31, 1994, March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and
September 30, 1995, so long as Magma is independent as of any date such payment
is due; provided, however, that such financial advisory fee shall equal (i)
$850,000 in the event that Magma rejected the Initial Proposal by October 10,
1994, and CECI subsequently withdraws such proposal on or before the end of the
fifth business day following the date of such rejection or (ii) $1,700,000 in
the event that Magma

                                                        44




    
<PAGE>






rejected the Initial Proposal by October 10, 1994, and CECI subsequently
withdraws such proposal after the fifth business day following such rejection
but on or before the end of the fifteenth business day following such rejection.
The fees paid pursuant to clauses (a) and (c) above shall be creditable against
any fees payable pursuant to clause (b) above.

         Magma has also agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for its out-of-pocket
expenses, including all fees and disbursements of counsel, and to indemnify
Goldman Sachs and certain related persons against certain liabilities in
connection with its engagement, including certain liabilities under the federal
securities laws. Goldman Sachs provides a full range of financial, advisory and
brokerage services and in the course of its normal trading activities may from
time to time effect transactions and hold positions in the securities or options
on securities of Magma and/or CECI for its own account and for the accounts of
its customers. In the course of its trading activities prior to its retention by
Magma in connection with the Initial Proposal, Goldman Sachs accumulated a long
position of 60,100 Shares.

         The following is a summary of the material financial analyses utilized
by Goldman Sachs in connection with providing its opinion to the Magma Board on
December 5, 1994.

         Stock Trading Analysis. Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed the
historical trading prices and volumes for the common stock of Magma and of CECI
during the trailing five and three year periods, respectively, for trading
prices and volumes. During the period commencing on December 2, 1993 and ending
on December 2, 1994, the intra-day high was $38 per Share. Goldman Sachs noted
that the Consideration was at a price above such intra-day high. Goldman Sachs
reviewed the volume of Shares which traded during the specified period to
determine the weighted average price of Shares during the period reviewed.
Goldman Sachs determined that the average weighted price for a Share during the
trailing one year period was $33.44 and during the trailing three year period
was $32.59 and noted that the Consideration was higher than such weighted
average prices.

         Selected Company Analysis. Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared certain
actual and estimated financial, operating and stock market information of Magma,
CECI and selected companies in the independent power production industry,
specifically The AES Corporation, Destec Energy, Inc., KENETECH Corporation and
Sithe Energies, Inc. (collectively, excluding Magma and CECI, the "Selected
Companies"). Based upon the closing market price for the Shares on December 2,
1994 ($35.50), such analysis indicated that, for the Selected Companies, the
median values of the estimated 1994 and estimated 1995 price/earnings ratios
were 24.9x and 12.3x, as compared to corresponding values of 18.1x and 15.3x for
CECI and 14.5x and 13.4x for Magma. Based upon a Consideration of $38.75 per
Share, the price/earnings ratio for Magma had an estimated value of 15.6x in
1994 and 14.4x in 1995. Based upon a Consideration of $39.00 per Share, the
price/earnings ratio for Magma had an estimated value of 15.7x in 1994 and 14.4x
in 1995. The estimated price/earnings ratios for 1994 and 1995 for each of CECI
and Magma were within the range of the price/earnings ratios for the same period
for the Selected Companies, and, as such, indicated that the valuations for both
Magma and CECI were not inconsistent with the valuations of the Selected
Companies. Accordingly, in the case of Magma, the fact that Magma's estimated
price/earnings ratios for 1994 and 1995, based upon a Consideration of either
$38.75 or $39.00, were within the range of estimated price/earnings ratios for
the same period for the Selected Companies was indicative that the Shares at the
Consideration prices were not under-valued vis-a-vis the Selected Companies,
and, in the case of CECI, the estimated price/earnings ratios for 1994 and 1995
based on the then CECI Common Stock price were within the range of appropriate
values for purposes of serving as consideration in the Merger.

         Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.  Goldman Sachs estimated the net present
value of Magma as a going concern based on estimates of future project cash
flows and the likelihood of successful project development

where appropriate, all as provided by Magma management. Goldman Sachs performed
a variety of sensitivity analyses on such cash flow information based upon a
variety of factors, including utility avoided costs and discount rates. Goldman
Sachs conducted its discounted cash flow analysis using a bottom-up approach
which is based upon the net present value of the cash flow generated by each of
the individual projects for the life of each such project. Such analysis
indicated that assuming discount rates ranging from 9% to 13% for domestic
projects and 11% to 19% for international projects, the net after-tax present
value of Magma's future cash flows (plus net cash of approximately $107 million)
ranged from $577 million to $1,250 million, or from $24 to $52 per Share. The
Consideration on a per Share basis was within the range (and at approximately
the midpoint of the range) indicated by the discounted cash flow analysis.

         Pro Forma Analyses. Goldman Sachs reviewed certain forecasted financial
information prepared by the respective managements of Magma and CECI for their
respective companies as well as certain pro forma financial information for the
combined entity prepared by CECI management. Goldman Sachs' pro forma analysis
was based primarily on the foregoing information. In conducting its analysis,
Goldman Sachs assumed that the option to pay the All Cash Component Amount was
not exercised by CECI in the Merger. Further, in conducting its analysis with
respect to information provided by Magma and CECI's managements for their
respective companies, Goldman Sachs also assumed that synergies from the Merger
aggregated in the amount of $5 million. In addition, Goldman Sachs evaluated the
pro forma information for the combined entity as provided by CECI management
(including certain other assumptions made therein). The foregoing analysis
indicated that the estimated earnings per share for the pro forma combined
entity would be accretive to earnings per share for the CECI Common Stock in the
range of 2% to 11% in 1995 and 13% to 22% in 1996, depending on the market price
of CECI Common Stock at the time of consummation of the Merger. The foregoing
analysis indicated that the estimated earnings per share for the pro forma
combined entity would be accretive to earnings per share for the CECI Common
Stock by 1% in 1995 and 11% in 1996.
    
         Goldman Sachs also reviewed the value of the Consideration to be
received by the holders of the Shares on a per Share basis assuming (i) that all
outstanding Shares were tendered in the Offer, (ii) that the option to pay the
All Cash Component Amount was not exercised by CECI in the Merger, and (iii) a
range of market prices for CECI Common Stock between $10 per share to $20 per
share. The foregoing analysis indicated that the value of the Consideration had
a range between $35.86 per Share (if CECI Common Stock traded at $10 per share)
and $39.71 per Share (if CECI Common Stock traded at $20 per share).
   
         Selected Transactions Analysis. Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed
certain information relating to selected transactions within the independent
power production industry since January 1, 1988. Goldman Sachs noted that the
selected transactions analysis did not provide any consistent indication of
value and, accordingly, did not rely upon this analysis.

         Other Analyses. Goldman Sachs also considered the status of discussions
with certain third parties which may have had a potential interest in entering
into a business combination transaction or a strategic alliance with Magma,
which did not indicate a likelihood of an alternative transaction achieving a
greater value for Magma stockholders than the Consideration being offered by
CECI.

         General. In addition to the foregoing analyses, Goldman Sachs
considered the effect of the Collar Provision, which was negotiated between
Magma and CECI and was but one of many factors used by Goldman Sachs in
delivering its opinion. In this connection, Goldman Sachs noted that the Collar
Provision provided certainty as to the Merger Consideration as long as CECI
Common Stock traded within the boundaries of the collar prior to consummation of
the Merger, and was symmetrical in the sense that Magma stockholders could
receive either greater or lesser value if CECI Common Stock traded outside the
boundaries of the collar prior to consummation of the Merger.

         As described above, certain of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs
relied on estimates of future financial performance provided by the managements
of CECI and Magma, including certain financial forecasts for the pro forma
combined entity resulting from the Merger prepared by the management of CECI
and, in the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, estimates regarding the likelihood of
successful project development as provided by Magma management relating to
Magma's IPP projects.

         The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of
the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs. The preparation of a fairness opinion
is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or
summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set
forth above, without considering the analysis as a whole, could create an
incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving
at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all such
analyses. The analyses were prepared solely for purposes of Goldman Sachs'
providing its opinion to the Magma Board as to the fairness of the Consideration
to the holders of Shares (other than CECI and its affiliates), and do not
purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which Magma or its
securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results
are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses.

OPINION OF CECI'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR

         On December 6, 1994, Gleacher delivered its written opinion to the CECI
Board (the "Gleacher Opinion") to the effect that, as of December 6, 1994, and
based upon the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of the review, as
set forth in the Gleacher Opinion, the Consideration (as defined below) to be
paid by CECI pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to CECI from a
financial point of view. For purposes of the Gleacher Opinion, the term
"Consideration" means the consideration paid by CECI pursuant to the Offer
together with, at CECI's option, either (i) $39.00 per Share in a combination of
cash and a number of shares of CECI Common Stock to be determined in accordance
with the Merger Agreement, or (ii) $38.50 per Share in cash, in either case to
be paid by CECI pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In arriving at the Gleacher
Opinion, Gleacher considered the effect of the Collar Provision on the
consideration to be paid in the Merger and noted that if the Average Closing
Price exceeds the high point of the collar, CECI could elect to pay the Merger
Consideration entirely in cash. Gleacher also noted that if the Average Closing
Price falls below the low point of the collar, CECI could elect to pay the
Merger Consideration with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock and CECI
would be protected by the collar in that the collar limits the number of shares
of CECI Common Stock that CECI would be obligated to issue.
    
         A COPY OF THE GLEACHER OPINION, WHICH SETS FORTH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE,
MATTERS CONSIDERED AND THE LIMITS OF THE REVIEW BY GLEACHER, IS ATTACHED TO THE
INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AS ANNEX C. THE GLEACHER OPINION IS DIRECTED
ONLY TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE CONSIDERATION TO BE PAID BY CECI FROM A FINANCIAL
POINT OF VIEW. THE SUMMARY OF THE GLEACHER OPINION SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE FULL TEXT
OF SUCH OPINION.

         In arriving at its opinion, Gleacher, among other things, (i) reviewed
the audited financial statements and public Commission filings for the three
most recent fiscal years and interim periods to date of Magma and CECI (the "SEC
Reports"); (ii) on an operating and trading basis, compared financial
information relating to Magma's businesses with published financial information
concerning certain companies whose businesses Gleacher deemed to be reasonably
similar, in whole or in part, to those of Magma; (iii) analyzed the market
prices and trading characteristics of the Shares and the CECI Common Stock for
recent periods to date; (iv) conducted discussions with members of senior
management of CECI concerning its businesses and prospects; (v) reviewed certain
financial forecasts for Magma and CECI, and projections of expected cost savings
in a business combination (together, the "Projections"), in each case as
prepared by CECI; (vi) based on

                                                        47

the Projections, performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Magma including
the expected cost savings arising from a business combination; (vii) based on
the Projections, analyzed the pro forma financial effects to CECI of the
proposed business combination; (viii) assumed without independent investigation
that no material contingent liability exists with respect to Magma or CECI which
is not disclosed in the SEC Reports; (ix) reviewed the Merger Agreement and
related transaction documentation; and (x) reviewed certain other financial
studies, performed such other analyses and took into account certain other
matters as deemed appropriate.

         Gleacher relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information
supplied or otherwise made available to it by CECI, and did not independently
verify such information or make or obtain an independent evaluation or appraisal
of the assets of CECI or Magma. With respect to the Projections, Gleacher
assumed without independent investigation that the Projections were reasonably
prepared by CECI, and were generated on bases reflecting the best currently
available estimates and judgments of CECI's management as to the expected future
financial performance of CECI or Magma, as the case may be. The Gleacher Opinion
was based upon prevailing market conditions and other circumstances and
conditions as they existed as of the date of the Gleacher Opinion.

         In arriving at the Gleacher Opinion and making its presentation to the
CECI Board at the meeting held on December 6, 1994, Gleacher considered and
discussed certain financial analyses and other factors. In connection with its
presentation, Gleacher provided the CECI Board with a summary of valuation
results obtained by using several different valuation methods as well as other
materials concerning Magma (the "Gleacher Report"), the material portions of
which are summarized below.
   
         Purchase Price Multiples. Gleacher compared the Consideration to be
paid by CECI assuming that the All Cash Component Amount was exercised by CECI
to the price per Share as of the close of business the day before the Offer
commenced (resulting in an implied premium to Magma stockholders of
approximately 41%) and the average closing price per Share during the six-month
period before the Offer commenced (resulting in an implied premium to Magma
stockholders of approximately 30%). Gleacher then compared such premiums to
premiums paid in recent public merger and acquisition transactions generally and
concluded that the premium being paid by CECI is at the low end of the range of
the premiums paid in such recent public merger and acquisition transactions.
Gleacher used its experience and knowledge of the markets and the premiums being
paid in recent public merger and acquisition transactions generally over the
last few years to arrive at its conclusion. Gleacher did not perform an analysis
of premiums in comparable acquisitions because, it is the belief of Gleacher,
there are no acquisitions of comparable public companies to Magma in terms of
its line of business and, as a result, Gleacher gave little weight to the
results of this analysis in rendering the Gleacher Opinion. Gleacher also
calculated the value of such Consideration as a multiple of (i) Magma's trailing
twelve-month earnings before interest and taxes (10.5x), (ii) net income
(14.6x), (iii) book value (2.4x) and (iv) projected net income for 1994 (15.5x)
and for 1995 (14.4x). Gleacher then compared such multiples to CECI's current
trading multiples, and noted that CECI's trading multiples in general were
higher. Gleacher calculated CECI's trading value at December 5, 1994 as a
multiple of (i) CECI's twelve-month earnings before interest and taxes (8.6x),
(ii) net income (16.5x), (iii) book value (2.8x) and (iv) projected net income
for 1994 (17.4x) and for 1995 (14.6x). Gleacher further noted that the
Consideration to be paid by CECI should not have an adverse impact in general on
CECI's trading multiples.

         Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Gleacher performed two discounted cash
flow analyses of Magma. The first, which was derived from publicly available
information, was based upon estimates of financial performance as prepared by
CECI for each of Magma's power projects in operation and for a limited number of
projects in development but under signed contracts or awards. For this analysis,
no value was accorded to any future development efforts by Magma, and as a
result did not necessarily reflect Magma's potential future financial
performance. The second analysis was based upon estimates of financial
performance as prepared by

                                                        48




    
<PAGE>






Magma and as provided to CECI and Gleacher for each of Magma's power projects
including (a) certain projects under development and (b) benefits of a specific
technology expected to be implemented, including certain planned operational
enhancements. Using these projections, Gleacher discounted to the present (i)
the projected stream of proportionate cash flows through year 2012 and (ii) the
projected terminal value of Magma at such year based upon a multiple of
projected after-tax cash flows. After-tax cash flows were calculated as
projected earnings adjusted for all non-cash items, less capital expenditures
and principal payments on debt obligations. Gleacher applied discount rates in
the first analysis of 10%, 12% and 15% and an after-tax cash flow multiple of
14x to Magma's after-tax cash flows. Using this valuation method for the first
analysis, the implied values per Share were approximately equal to $30. In the
second discounted cash flow analysis, Gleacher applied a 12% discount rate. For
this analysis, value was accorded to substantially all of Magma's future
development projects. By including such future development projects in the
analysis, this analysis resulted in an implied value per Share of in excess of
$50. Gleacher then compared the results obtained from the second discounted cash
flow analysis to the Consideration to be paid by CECI. Because the first
discounted cash flow analysis was based solely on publicly available
information, and the second discounted cash flow analysis was based on both
information provided by Magma and the results of additional due diligence
conducted on Magma, Gleacher's presentation to CECI's Board indicated that it
discounted the results of the first analysis and gave substantially more weight
to the second discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rates and after-tax
cash flow multiple used by Gleacher in its analyses were based upon discussions
with the management of CECI and Gleacher's judgments as to the manner in which
companies in the Comparable Group (as defined below) are valued. The "Comparable
Group" included CECI, The AES Corporation, Destec Energy, Inc. and Sithe
Energies, Inc.

         Trading Valuation. Gleacher reviewed and compared certain actual and
estimated financial and operating results and stock market performance of Magma
and the Comparable Group. Gleacher applied trading multiples of the Comparable
Group to Magma's financial performance. These trading multiples consisted of (i)
trailing twelve-month revenues of 4x to 5x, (ii) earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization of 6.5x to 7.5x, (iii) earnings before
interest and taxes of 9x to 10x, (iv) net income of 14x to 16x and (v) projected
net income for 1994 of 13x to 15x and for 1995 of 12x to 14x. Gleacher then
derived a range of values for the Shares. Gleacher then added control premiums
of 25% and 50% to the calculated range for the Shares. The control premium range
was determined by Gleacher based upon its experience and knowledge of premiums
generally paid to acquire control of a company. Gleacher then calculated the
implied values per Share, which ranged from approximately $39 to $54. Gleacher
then noted that the Consideration to be paid by CECI was at the low end of such
range.

         Pro Forma Analyses. Gleacher analyzed the pro forma impact of the
Merger on earnings per share of Common Stock for periods following consummation
of the Merger, and compared such amounts to projected earnings per share on a
stand-alone basis for CECI based on CECI's base operating plan. In conducting
its pro forma analyses, Gleacher assumed the following: CECI achieves synergies
and cost savings in 1995 and thereafter resulting from the Merger of
approximately $10 million, the All Cash Component is exercised by CECI, interest
rate on borrowings of 9%, opportunity cost of CECI's cash of 5% and CECI sells
approximately 14,800,000 shares of CECI Common Stock at $16.50 per share based
on the then current market price. The foregoing assumptions were all of the
assumptions used by Gleacher in performing the pro forma analyses. Gleacher
estimated that the Merger could result in a percentage increase in the earnings
per share for the CECI Common Stock of approximately (i) 1% in 1995, 10% in 1996
and 22% in 1997, based upon, with respect to Magma, publicly available
information and estimates of financial performance as prepared by CECI for each
of Magma's power projects in operation and for a limited number of projects in
development but under signed contracts or awards, and approximately (ii) 2% in
1995, 25% in 1996 and 26% in 1997, based upon, with respect to Magma, estimates
of financial performance as prepared by Magma for each of Magma's power
projects, including the results of additional due diligence conducted on Magma.
Because both pro forma

                                                        49




    
<PAGE>






analyses produced percentage increases in earnings per share for the CECI Common
Stock, Gleacher did not place more weight on either set of results.

         Stock Trading Analysis. Gleacher reviewed and analyzed historical
trading prices and volumes for the Shares during the 30-month period preceding
the Offer. The trading prices per Share over such period ranged from $20.00 to
$39.25 and the weekly trading volumes for the Shares ranged from 49,100 to
4,919,700. Gleacher then compared such historical trading prices to the
Consideration to be paid by CECI. This comparison indicated that the
Consideration to be paid by CECI is approximately equal to the high point of the
trading value per Share during such 30-month period.

         In arriving at the Gleacher Opinion and in presenting the Gleacher
Report, Gleacher decided to perform a purchase price multiples analysis, a
discounted cash flow analysis, a trading valuation analysis and pro forma
analyses, the material portions of which are summarized above, based on industry
practice and its experience in merger and acquisition transactions. Gleacher
concluded that the results of such analyses, when considered as a whole, support
the Gleacher Opinion. Gleacher believes that its analyses must be considered as
a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors
considered by it, without considering all such factors and analyses, or
quantifying the value assigned to any particular analysis performed, could
create a misleading view of the process underlying its analyses set forth in the
Gleacher Opinion and the Gleacher Report. The matters considered by Gleacher in
arriving at the Gleacher Opinion that, as of the date of such opinion, the
Consideration to be paid by CECI pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to
CECI from a financial point of view, are based on numerous macroeconomic,
operating and financial assumptions with respect to industry performance,
general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are
beyond CECI's control. Any estimates incorporated in the analyses performed by
Gleacher are not necessarily indicative of actual past or future results or
values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such estimates.
Estimated values do not purport to be appraisals and do not necessarily reflect
the prices at which businesses or companies may be acquired in the future, and
such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. Arriving at a fairness
opinion is a complex process not necessarily susceptible to partial or summary
description. No public company utilized as a comparison is identical to Magma.
Accordingly, an analysis of publicly traded comparable companies is not
mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments
concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the
comparable companies and other factors that could affect the public trading
value of the comparable companies or company to which they are being compared.
    
         Gleacher is a recognized investment banking firm routinely engaged in
the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions and other purposes. The CECI Board selected Gleacher to act as
CECI's exclusive financial advisor based on Gleacher's familiarity with CECI and
Gleacher's substantial experience in mergers and acquisitions and in securities
valuation generally. No limitations were imposed by the CECI Board upon Gleacher
with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Gleacher in
rendering its opinion.

         Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement dated September 18, 1994,
between CECI and Gleacher (the "Gleacher Engagement Letter"), CECI paid Gleacher
a fee of $250,000 and has agreed to pay Gleacher (i) a fee of $4,000,000 payable
upon the completion of the direct or indirect acquisition by CECI, either alone
or in partnership with another entity, by merger, acquisition of securities, or
otherwise, of 50.1% or more of the equity securities of Magma, which fee shall
be offset by the $250,000 previously paid to Gleacher by CECI and (ii) a fee
equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of debt directly arranged by Gleacher and
Lehman Brothers in connection with the proposed transaction, which is estimated
to be $1,250,000, assuming the full amount of the Merger Facilities is drawn
down by CECI.

         In addition to any fees payable to Gleacher pursuant to the terms of
the Gleacher Engagement Letter, CECI shall reimburse Gleacher for all reasonable
travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Gleacher
thereunder, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of Gleacher's legal
counsel and any other professional advisors.

         In connection with the matters described in the Gleacher Engagement
Letter, CECI and Gleacher entered into a separate letter agreement, dated
September 18, 1994, providing for the indemnification, contribution, and
reimbursement of Gleacher and certain other entities and individuals for a
period of six years from the date of termination of Gleacher's engagement
pursuant to the terms of the Gleacher Engagement Letter.

FINANCING OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
   
         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a combination of
cash and CECI Common Stock, CECI estimates that approximately $710,900,000 in
cash will be required to effectuate the Merger, to refinance bank borrowings
incurred in connection with the Offer and to pay related fees and expenses. If
CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, approximately
$957,400,000 will be required. Credit Suisse will provide, on specified terms
and subject to customary conditions, up to $500,000,000 in secured bank
financing (the "Merger Facilities"). Such funds, together with a capital
contribution by CECI from CECI's general corporate funds and, if CECI elects to
pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, the net proceeds of a CECI Common
Stock public offering, will be sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration, to
refinance bank borrowings incurred in connection with the Offer and to pay
related fees and expenses. Specifically, if CECI elects to pay the Merger
Consideration with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock, CECI will pay
the Merger Consideration, refinance the bank borrowings and pay related fees and
expenses using the following: approximately $500,000,000 from the Merger
Facilities plus approximately $210,900,000 from general corporate funds. If CECI
elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash, CECI will pay the Merger
Consideration, refinance the bank borrowings and pay related fees and expenses
using the following: approximately $500,000,000 from the Merger Facilities plus
approximately $266,700,000 from the net proceeds of a CECI Common Stock public
offering plus approximately $190,700,000 from CECI's general corporate funds.

         CECI has received a fully underwritten financing commitment letter from
Credit Suisse (the "Commitment Letter") which states that Credit Suisse will
provide to CE Sub, on specified terms and subject to customary conditions (i) a
facility of up to $250,000,000 to capitalize CE Sub for the purpose of financing
the Offer (the "Tender Facility"), which facility has been fully utilized in
connection with consummation of the Offer, and (ii) the Merger Facilities for,
among other things, refinancing the Tender Facility and effectuating the Merger.

         On January 10, 1995, in connection with the purchase of Shares pursuant
to the Offer, CECI borrowed approximately $250 million under the Tender Facility
on a limited-recourse basis (recourse as to interest only and certain fees) and
loaned the proceeds of such borrowing to CE Sub in exchange for a secured term
note of CE Sub (the "CE Sub Note"). The economic terms of CE Sub Note mirror
those of the Tender Facility.
    
         The Tender Facility is a 12-month term loan extendible for up to three
years by the mutual consent of CECI and Credit Suisse. Borrowings under the
Tender Facility are secured by an assignment and pledge of CE Sub Note, which in
turn is secured by an assignment and pledge of the 12,400,000 Shares purchased
by CE Sub pursuant to the Offer and an additional 200,000 Shares contributed by
CECI to the capital of CE Sub. Interest on borrowings under the Tender Facility
is payable at spreads of 2.50% above LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) or 1.25%
above Base Rate.

                                                        51

         The Tender Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants
customary for similar credit facilities. Such covenants include: a negative
pledge of all stock and unencumbered assets of CE Sub and its subsidiaries; a
limitation on guaranties by CECI and CE Sub; a limitation on mergers and sales
of assets by CECI and its subsidiaries; a limitation on investments in other
persons by CECI and its subsidiaries; a prohibition on dividends and other
payments by CECI and its subsidiaries to CECI unless the proceeds are used to
pay down the Tender Facility in amounts to be agreed upon; a prohibition on the
sale of ownership interests in CE Sub and its subsidiaries; a prohibition on the
incurrence of additional debt by CE Sub and its subsidiaries; a requirement that
CECI deliver each month a certificate as to the absence of material adverse
changes in (i) CECI and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (ii) CE Sub and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which in either case could reasonably be
expected to materially affect the ability of CECI to service the Tender Facility
or the ability of the lenders to realize on the collateral for the Tender
Facility; and a restriction on a change in the nature of the business of CECI
and its subsidiaries, except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

         The Tender Facility also contains financial covenants and customary
events of default, including events of default based on: a permanent injunction
prohibiting the Merger; breaches of covenants; cross defaults with respect to
debt of CECI, Magma and their subsidiaries; bankruptcy and similar events; the
failure to pay one or more final judgments aggregating more than a specified
threshold; the failure to make a payment with respect to the Tender Facility
when due; and the failure of the pledge agreement with respect to the Shares and
CE Sub Note to be in full force and effect.
   
         The Merger Facilities will be comprised of (i) a six year term loan
("Term Loan A") in a principal amount of up to the difference between $500
million and the principal amount of Term Loan B (as defined below), expected to
be amortized in semi-annual payments, and (ii) an eight year term loan ("Term
Loan B") in a principal amount to be not less than $150 million, expected to be
amortized in semi-annual payments in the seventh and eighth years of such Term
Loan. Loans under the Merger Facilities will be made to CECI on a non-recourse
basis, and CECI will lend the proceeds of such loans to Magma in exchange for a
secured term note of Magma (the "Magma Note"). The loans under the Merger
Facilities are to be amortized from internally generated funds of Magma. Loans
under the Merger Facilities will be secured by an assignment and pledge by CECI
of the Magma Notes and 100% of the capital stock of Magma. The Magma Note will
be secured by an assignment of certain unencumbered assets of Magma.

         Interest on loans under the Merger Facilities will be payable at
spreads of 2.50% above LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) or 1.50% above the Base
Rate for Term Loan A, and 3.00% above LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) or 2.00%
above the Base Rate for Term Loan B. The LIBOR spreads are subject to upward
adjustment in certain instances. CECI may elect to have loans bear interest
based on either LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined in the Merger Facilities).

         The Merger Facilities will contain affirmative and negative covenants
customary for similar non-recourse credit facilities. Such covenants will
include a negative pledge of all stock and unencumbered assets of Magma; a
limitation on guaranties by Magma; a limitation on mergers and sales of assets
by Magma; a limitation on investments in other persons by Magma; a prohibition
on dividends and other payments by Magma to CECI unless the proceeds are used to
pay down the Merger Facilities; a prohibition on the sale of ownership interests
in Magma; a prohibition on the incurrence of additional debt by Magma; a
requirement that CECI deliver each fiscal quarter a certificate as to the
absence of material adverse changes in CECI or Magma which could reasonably be
expected to materially affect the ability of CECI to repay the Merger Facilities
or the ability of the lenders to realize on the collateral for the Merger
Facilities; and a restriction on a change in the nature of the business of CECI
and Magma.

         The Merger Facilities will also contain financial covenants and
customary events of default, including events of default based on breaches of
certain representations, warranties and covenants; cross defaults with respect
to debt of CECI and Magma; bankruptcy and similar events; the failure to pay one
or more final judgments aggregating more than a specified threshold to be agreed
upon; the failure to make a payment with respect to the Merger Facilities when
due; and the failure of the pledge agreement with respect to the capital stock
of Magma and the Magma Note to be in full force and effect.

         Credit Suisse's commitment to provide the Merger Facilities is subject
to certain customary conditions, including without limitation (i) a capital
investment in CE Sub in an amount and form satisfactory to Credit Suisse and
(ii) the absence of certain material adverse changes.
    
         CECI has agreed to pay certain fees to Credit Suisse with respect to
the Merger Facilities and Tender Facilities which, in the aggregate, are not
material to the transactions described herein.

CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE MERGER: OPERATIONS AFTER THE MERGER

         As a result of the Merger there will be no public market for the
Shares. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Shares will cease to be quoted on
the NNM, the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be
terminated and will no longer constitute "margin securities" under the rules of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

         Following completion of the Merger, CECI will own the entire equity
interest in Magma and will thereby have a 100% interest in Magma's net assets
and earnings. If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a combination
of cash and CECI Common Stock, upon completion of the Merger, the existing
stockholders of Magma will receive CECI Common Stock representing approximately
32.2% of the CECI Common Stock then outstanding and will share to such extent in
CECI's earnings and assets with the existing stockholders of CECI.

         Except for the Merger and except as otherwise described in this
Information Statement, CECI has no present plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation involving Magma or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a
sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Magma or any of its
subsidiaries, (iii) any material change in the present dividend rate or policy
or indebtedness or capitalization of Magma or (iv) any other material change in
Magma's corporate structure or business. See "--Financing of Merger
Consideration."

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
   
         The following summarizes the material federal income tax consequences
to stockholders of Magma as a result of the Merger. The discussion is based upon
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury
regulations thereunder, administrative procedures, rulings and decisions in
effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with
retroactive effect) by legislation, administrative action or judicial decision.
No ruling has or will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") regarding the anticipated tax consequences described herein. The
discussion set forth below does not discuss all aspects of federal income
taxation that may be relevant to a particular stockholder in light of his
personal investment circumstances or to certain types of stockholders subject to
special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, tax-exempt
organizations, foreign corporations and individuals who have received Shares as
compensation or who are not citizens or residents of the United States) and does
not discuss any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation. The discussion is
limited to those stockholders who hold the Shares as capital assets (generally,
property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the
    
                                                        53

Code. EACH STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS INDIVIDUAL TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER UNDER HIS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES,
INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX
LAWS.

         Tax Effects of the Merger. Each outstanding Share (other than Shares
held by CECI, CE Sub or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of CECI and
Shares held in the treasury of Magma) will be converted in the Merger into the
right to receive, at CECI's election (which election shall be made no later than
five business days prior to the Magma Special Meeting), either (i) all cash such
that the blended consideration paid by CECI in the Offer and the Merger would be
$38.75 per Share or (ii) a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock such that
the consideration paid by CECI in the Offer and the Merger would consist, on a
blended basis, of $28.50 per Share in cash and $10.50 per Share in market value
of CECI Common Stock, based on the Average Closing Price and subject to the
Collar Provision. The Merger will be a taxable transaction for federal income
tax purposes. A stockholder exchanging Shares for cash and CECI Common Stock
pursuant to the Merger will recognize gain or loss in the Merger equal to the
difference between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the CECI
Common Stock received (if any) in the Merger and (ii) the holder's adjusted tax
basis for the Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger. Gain or loss will be
calculated separately for each block of Shares exchanged. A holder's tax basis
in the CECI Common Stock received (if any) pursuant to the Merger will equal the
fair market value of such CECI Common Stock as of the Effective Time, and the
holder's holding period for such CECI Common Stock will commence as of the
Effective Time. For tax purposes, the fair market value of the CECI Common Stock
will be determined as of the Effective Time and, whether or not the Collar
Provision is applicable, may differ from the Average Closing Price used for
purposes of determining the number of Shares to be issued in the Merger.

         Gain or loss recognized by an exchanging stockholder in the Merger will
be capital gain or loss if the Shares at the Effective Time are held as capital
assets. Such capital gain or loss will be classified as a long-term capital gain
or loss to the extent that the exchanged Shares have a holding period of more
than one year at the Effective Time. Long-term capital gains recognized by an
exchanging individual stockholder will be subject to tax at a maximum marginal
federal rate of 28%. Short-term capital gains or non-capital gains recognized by
an exchanging individual stockholder will be subject to tax at a maximum
marginal federal rate of 39.6%. Net gains recognized by an exchanging corporate
stockholder will be subject to tax at a maximum marginal federal rate of 35%.

         Backup Withholding. To prevent "backup withholding" of federal income
tax on payments of cash to a stockholder of Magma who exchanges Shares for cash
in the Merger, a stockholder of Magma must, unless an exception applies under
the applicable law and regulations, provide the payor of such cash with such
stockholder's correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on a Substitute
Form W-9 and certify under penalties of perjury that such number is correct and
that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding. A Substitute Form
W-9 is included in the Letter of Transmittal. If the correct TIN and
certifications are not provided, a $50 penalty may be imposed on a stockholder
of Magma by the Service, and cash received by such stockholder in exchange for
Shares in the Merger may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31%.
Amounts paid as backup withholding do not constitute an additional tax and would
be allowable as a credit against the stockholder's federal income tax liability.
   
         THE DISCUSSION ABOVE DOES NOT ADDRESS THE STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX
ASPECTS OF THE MERGER. IN ADDITION, IT DOES NOT DISCUSS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO CERTAIN PERSONS, INCLUDING HOLDERS OF
OPTIONS, AND MAY NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN HOLDERS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TAX RULES. THE
DISCUSSION IS BASED UPON CURRENT LAW. LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE
CHANGES MAY BE FORTHCOMING THAT COULD AFFECT THIS DISCUSSION. EACH STOCKHOLDER
SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO

HIM OR HER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL
AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW CONSEQUENCES

         All CECI Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger will be
freely transferable, except that any CECI Common Stock received by persons who
are deemed to be "affiliates" (as such term is defined under the Securities Act)
of Magma prior to the Merger may be sold by them only in transactions permitted
by the resale provisions of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (or
Rule 144 if such persons are or become affiliates of CECI) or as otherwise
permitted under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates
of Magma or CECI generally include individuals or entities that control, are
controlled by, or are under common control with, such party and may include
certain officers and directors of such party as well as principal stockholders
of such party.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

         The Merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

         It is a condition to the Merger that the shares of CECI Common Stock to
be issued pursuant to the Merger be authorized for listing on the NYSE, subject
to official notice of issuance.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

         Stockholders of CECI are not entitled to appraisal rights under Section
262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") in connection with the
Merger.

         Holders of Shares do not have the right to dissent from the Merger,
pursuant to Section 78.482 of the Nevada General Corporation Law ("NGCL"), which
provides that holders of securities of Nevada corporations have no right of
dissent with respect to a plan of merger or exchange in favor of holders of
shares of any class or series which was, at the record date fixed to determine
the holders entitled to vote on the merger or plan of exchange, listed on a
national securities exchange or held by at least 2,000 stockholders of record,
unless the articles of incorporation of the corporation provide otherwise or if,
in the merger, the holders will receive consideration other than cash, shares of
the surviving corporation or shares of another corporation which are listed on a
national securities exchange. Since the Shares are listed on the NNM, and
holders thereof will receive in the Merger cash and/or shares of CECI Common
Stock, which are listed on the NYSE, the holders of Shares will not be entitled
to any dissenters' rights.

         The NGCL does not provide any other material rights to holders of
Shares with respect to the Merger.

EXPENSES OF THE TRANSACTION
   
         It is estimated that when the Merger is consummated expenses incurred

                              THE MERGER AGREEMENT

GENERAL

         The following description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to
be complete, omits provisions that have been rendered inapplicable as a result
of the consummation of the Offer and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A and
incorporated herein by reference. Stockholders of Magma are urged to read the
Merger Agreement in its entirety.

THE MERGER

         General. The purpose of the Merger is to acquire all Shares not
beneficially owned by CECI following consummation of the Offer. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, CECI, CE Sub and Magma have agreed to effectuate the Merger in
accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement as promptly as
practicable following consummation of the Offer. Following is a description of
the material terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides that
as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
described below (the "Effective Time"), CE Sub will be merged with and into
Magma, with Magma continuing as the surviving corporation following the Merger
(the "Surviving Corporation"). As a result of the Merger, Magma will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of CECI. In addition, the directors of CE Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the initial directors of the
Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Magma immediately before the
Effective Time will become the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in
each case until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

EFFECTIVE TIME

         Following the adoption of the Merger Agreement and subject to
satisfaction or waiver of certain terms and conditions contained in the Merger
Agreement, the Merger will become effective on such date as the Merger Agreement
and the officers' certificates of each of Magma, CECI and CE Sub, are duly filed
with the Secretary of State of Nevada and the Secretary of State of Delaware.
The filing of the Merger Agreement and the officers' certificates shall be made
as promptly as practicable after all conditions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement have been satisfied or waived.

TERMS OF THE MERGER
   
         The Merger Consideration. In the Merger, each outstanding Share (other
than Shares held by CECI, CE Sub or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of
CECI and Shares held in the treasury of Magma) will be converted into the right
to receive, at CECI's election (which election shall be made no later than five
business days prior to the Magma Special Meeting), either (i) the All Cash
Component Amount, net in cash, without interest thereon or (ii) both (A) the
Mixed Cash Component Amount, net in cash, without interest thereon, and (B) the
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of CECI Common Stock equal to the
quotient of (I) $39.00 less (II) the Mixed Cash Component Amount divided by the
Average Closing Price (the All Cash Component Amount or (ii)(A) and (ii)(B),
collectively, as applicable, being the "Merger Consideration"). If CECI elects
the former option, each Share will be converted in the Merger into cash in the
range of approximately $38.47 per Share to $38.49 per Share. If CECI elects the
latter option, each Share will be converted in the Merger into (A) cash in the
range of approximately $16.94 per Share to $17.50 per Share PLUS (B) between
1.148 and 1.546 shares of CECI Common Stock. As a result of the Collar Provision
included in the formula for determining the precise Merger Consideration, the
value of the cash and CECI Common Stock received by Magma stockholders in the


                                             57




    
<PAGE>



Merger may be less than $39.00. The "Mixed Cash Component Amount" shall mean an
amount equal to the quotient of (A) (x) $28.50 multiplied by the number of
Shares outstanding at the Effective Time less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the
number of Shares owned by CECI and any of its affiliates immediately prior to
the Effective Time, divided by (B) the number of Shares outstanding at the
Effective Time (other than Shares owned by CECI and any of its affiliates). The
"All Cash Component Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the quotient of (A)
(x) $38.75 multiplied by the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time
less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by CECI and any of its
affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the number of
Shares outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by CECI and
any of its affiliates). The "Average Closing Price" shall mean the average
closing price of Common Stock on the NYSE during the 15 consecutive trading days
ending on the fifth business day prior to the Effective Time; provided, however,
that, for purposes of the calculation, if such average closing price exceeds
$18.73, the Average Closing Price shall be deemed to be $18.73, and if such
average closing price is less than $14.27, the Average Closing Price shall be
deemed to be $14.27 (such proviso being referred to herein as the "Collar
Provision").

         The foregoing formula for determining the consideration to be paid in
the Merger was established so that (i) if CECI elects to pay the Merger
Consideration with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock, the
consideration paid by CECI in the Offer and the Merger would consist, on a
blended basis, of $28.50 per Share in cash and $10.50 per Share in market value
of CECI Common Stock, based on the Average Closing Price and subject to the
Collar Provision, and (ii) if CECI elects to pay only cash consideration in the
Merger, the blended consideration paid by CECI in the Offer and the Merger would
be $38.75 per Share. The consideration to be paid in the Offer, including the
terms of the Collar Provision, was negotiated on an arms' length basis between
CECI and Magma. The purpose of the Collar Provision is to limit the number of
shares of CECI Common Stock required to be issued in the Merger if the Average
Closing Price is less than $14.27 and to establish a minimum number of shares of
CECI Common Stock required to be issued in the Merger if the Average Closing
Price exceeds $18.73. It is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger
Consideration solely in cash, but such intention is subject to change if (i) the
proposed underwriters for the public offering determine that they cannot or will
not proceed with such offering upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the CECI or
(ii) market conditions would require the issuance of a greater number of shares
of CECI Common Stock in order to fund an all cash Merger than would be required
to be issued in a Merger with a mixed cash and CECI Common Stock consideration.
The total maximum cash amount to be paid by CECI for Shares in the Merger will
be approximately equal to $440.3 million.

         As noted above, at CECI's option, each Share to be converted in the
Merger can be converted into the right to receive either the amounts of cash and
CECI Common Stock set forth in columns B and C, respectively, assuming the
Average Closing Prices set forth in column A, or the cash amounts set forth in

                                                        58




    
<PAGE>






column F. For purposes of the calculations set forth below, it has been assumed
that the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time will be equal to
24,043,000 (the number of Shares outstanding as of September 30, 1994). In
addition, it has been assumed that the number of Shares owned by CECI and any of
its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time will be equal to
12,600,000, 12,400,000 of which were acquired pursuant to the Offer.

</TABLE>

The foregoing table is based on the number of Shares outstanding as of September
30, 1994. If, prior to the Effective Time, the maximum number of Shares
(582,478) are issued in respect of outstanding options and deferred stock
awards, (i) the All Cash Component Amount in all cases would be $38.49, (ii) the
Mixed Cash Component Amount in all cases would be $17.50, and (iii) the "Number
of Shares of Common Stock", the "Value of Common Stock" and the "Total
Consideration" would be, respectively, for the following Assumed Average Closing
Prices: for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $14.00, 1.507, $21.09 and
$38.59; for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $15.00, 1.433, $21.50 and
$39.00; for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $16.00, 1.344, $21.50 and
$39.00; for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $17.00, 1.265, $21.50 and
$39.00; for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $18.00, 1.195, $21.50 and
$39.00; for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $19.00, 1.148, $21.81 and
$39.31; and for an Assumed Average Closing Price of $20.00, 1.148, $22.96 and
$40.46.

         The alternative forms and amounts of consideration payable by CECI in
the Merger were negotiated by Magma and CECI at arms' length, in consultation
with their respective financial advisors. Each of Magma and CECI viewed the
acquisition of Magma as a single transaction, and the parties negotiated on the
basis of a blended consideration to be received by Magma stockholders in the
Offer and the Merger. CECI proposed that the consideration to be paid in the
Offer and the Merger consist of a combination of cash and shares of CECI Common
Stock and that any increase in the consideration over the consideration offered
by the Revised Previous Offer be paid in additional shares of CECI Common Stock.
Magma proposed that the consideration be

                                                        59




    
<PAGE>






paid entirely in cash. The parties then discussed an increase in the
consideration offered in the Revised Previous Offer--a blended amount of $28.50
in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI Common Stock--to a blended amount of
$28.50 in cash and $10.50 in market value of CECI Common Stock. In light of
Magma's desire to have the consideration paid entirely in cash, CECI proposed
that, at its option, CECI could pay the consideration all in cash (rather than
in cash and CECI Common Stock) such that the blended all cash consideration paid
in the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Share.

         The Merger Agreement does not by its terms require CECI to elect the
form of consideration it will pay in the Merger at any time prior to the
effective time of the Merger. It is CECI's current intention to pay the Merger
consideration solely in cash, but such intention is subject to change if (i) the
proposed underwriters for the Public Offering determine that they cannot or will
not proceed with such offering upon terms reasonably satisfactory to CECI or
(ii) market conditions would require the issuance in the Public Offering of a
greater number of shares of CECI Common Stock in order to fund an all cash
Merger than would be required to be issued if the Merger were consummated with a
mixed cash and CECI Common Stock consideration. CECI will seek to cause the
Public Offering to be priced so that the closing of the Public Offering
(normally five trading days following pricing) will occur on the date the Magma
Special Meeting occurs and the Merger becomes effective. CECI will determine the
form of consideration to be paid in the Merger at the time the Public Offering
is priced or at the time CECI elects not to proceed with the Public Offering
based on the foregoing considerations.

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger consideration in a combination of cash
and CECI Common Stock, CECI will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and mail to Magma's stockholders a supplement to the Information
Statement/Prospectus disclosing such determination and providing a toll-free
telephone number so that Magma stockholders may call to obtain the "Average
Closing Price" (part of the formula for determining the precise allocation of
cash and CECI Common Stock to be paid as Merger consideration). Concurrently
with the filing of such supplement, CECI will issue a press release stating such
election. In addition, Magma will, if necessary, postpone or adjourn the Magma
Special Meeting so that the foregoing supplement is mailed to Magma stockholders
at least ten business days prior to the Magma Special Meeting and the Merger.
CECI will disseminate another supplement at the time the "Average Closing Price"
is determined.

         Magma Stock Options. Each option outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time under the Magma Stock Option Plans (as defined in the Merger
Agreement), whether or not then exercisable, shall be cancelled by Magma and, in
exchange therefor, each holder of any such option shall be entitled to receive
from Magma at the Effective Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter, an
amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares previously
subject to such option and (y) the excess, if any, of $39.00 or, if CECI has
elected the All Cash Component Amount, $38.75, over the exercise price per Share
previously applicable to such option. Each unvested share of deferred stock
under Magma's 1994 Equity Participation Plan (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) or as otherwise described in the Magma Disclosure Schedule (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (each, a "Deferred Share") shall be cancelled by Magma and each holder of a
cancelled Deferred Share shall be entitled to receive at the Effective Time or
as soon as practicable thereafter from Magma an amount in cash equal to $39.00
or, if CECI has elected the All Cash Component Amount, $38.75. The treatment of
the Magma stock options in the Merger was determined subsequent to the
determination of the Merger Consideration. The parties agreed on this treatment
because they believed such treatment, which provides for the payment in cash of
the "spread" on the options, is customary in transactions similar to the Merger.

         Board Representation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 10,
1995, CECI obtained majority representation on the Magma Board of Directors (the
"Magma Board"). The Magma Board currently consists of six designees of CECI (the
"Acquisition Designees") and Messrs. Boeker and Pankratz, who were

directors of Magma at the time the Merger Agreement was executed. Prior to the
Effective Time, any amendment of the Merger Agreement or Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, any extension by Magma of the time for the performance
of any of the obligations or other acts of CECI or CE Sub, or waiver of any of
Magma's rights under the Merger Agreement, and any other consent or action of
the Magma Board under the Merger Agreement will require the concurrence of a
majority (which shall be at least two) of the directors of Magma then in office
who are not designees of CECI or CE Sub ("Disinterested Directors").

    
   
         CECI has agreed to use its best efforts to nominate and cause up to two
nominees of Magma to be elected or appointed as members of the CECI Board.

SURRENDER AND PAYMENT

         The Merger Agreement provides that before the Effective Time, Magma
will appoint a bank or trust company to act as the exchange agent for the
holders of Shares (the "Exchange Agent") to receive the funds and/or securities
necessary to make the payments of the Merger Consideration. Each holder of a
certificate representing any Shares canceled upon the Merger may thereafter
surrender such certificate to the Exchange Agent to effect the surrender of such
certificate on such holder's behalf for a period ending one year after the
Effective Time. Promptly after the Effective Time, CECI shall cause the
distribution to holders of record of Shares as of the Effective Time of
appropriate materials to facilitate such surrender, including a letter of
transmittal.

               STOCKHOLDERS OF MAGMA SHOULD NOT SEND CERTIFICATES
             REPRESENTING THEIR SHARES TO MAGMA OR TO THE EXCHANGE
              AGENT PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

         If payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of canceled Shares is
to be made to a person other than the person in whose name a surrendered
certificate or instrument is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment
that the certificate or instrument so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of
such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the
certificate or instrument surrendered or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or
is not payable.

         At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of Magma shall be closed and there shall not be any further
registration or transfer of Shares thereafter on the records of Magma. If, after
the Effective Time, certificates for Shares are presented to the Surviving
Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged (without interest) for the
Merger Consideration.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

         If CECI elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a combination of
cash and CECI Common Stock, fractional shares of CECI Common Stock shall not be
issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu of any such fractional share, each
holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share
of CECI Common Stock upon surrender of certificates for exchange shall be paid
cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such holder's proportionate
interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market of the
aggregate fractional CECI Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall
determine the excess of (i) the number of full shares of CECI Common Stock
delivered to the Exchange Agent by CECI over (ii) the aggregate number of full
shares of CECI Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Shares ("Excess
Shares"), and the Exchange Agent, as agent for the former holders of Shares,
shall sell the Excess Shares at the prevailing prices on the NYSE. The sale of
the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on NYSE in round lots
to the extent practicable. The Exchange Agent shall deduct from the proceeds of
the sale of the Excess Shares all

                                                        62

commissions, transfer taxes and other reasonable out-of-pocket transaction
costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent incurred in
connection with such sale of Excess Shares.

Commission and remain in effect, and (v) that there shall not be in effect (a)
any judgment, decree or order issued by any Federal, state or local court of
competent jurisdiction, or (b) any statute, rule or regulation enacted or

prohibits the consummation of the Merger or makes such consummation illegal.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

before or after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and
use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. Magma shall, to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regardless of whether the
Merger becomes effective, indemnify and hold harmless, and after the Effective

substitute therefor its current policies or other policies of at least the same
coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the
Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall CECI be required
to expend more than an amount equal to 125% of current annual premiums paid by
Magma for such insurance.

or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not
be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or
merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets
to any person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so
that the successors and assigns of CECI or Surviving Corporation assume the
indemnification obligations.

TERMINATION; FEES AND EXPENSES

         Termination. The Merger Agreement provides that it may be terminated

Time shall not have occurred on or prior to September 30, 1995; or (c) by either
CECI or Magma if a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory
or administrative agency or commission shall have issued an order, decree or
ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the parties
hereto shall use their best efforts to lift), in each case permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have
become final and nonappealable; or (d) by CECI if (i) the Magma Board withdraws,
modifies or changes its recommendation of the Merger Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby or shall have resolved to do any of the
foregoing or (ii) the Magma Board recommends to the holders of Shares any
proposal with respect to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar
transaction involving Magma or any of its subsidiaries, other than the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or (e) by CECI if, without
Magma's consent, any person has acquired beneficial ownership or the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of or any "group" (as defined under Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) has
been formed which beneficially owns, or has the right to acquire beneficial
ownership of, more than 10% of the Shares; or (f) by Magma or CECI if (i) a
corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group shall have made a bona
fide offer that the Magma Board determines in its good faith judgment and in the
exercise of its fiduciary duties, after consultation with and based upon the
advice of its financial and legal advisors, is more favorable to Magma's
stockholders than the Offer and the Merger or any person (including, without
limitation, Magma or any affiliate thereof), other than CECI or any affiliate of
CECI, shall have become the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the then
outstanding Shares; or (g) by either CECI or Magma if the other party shall have
breached the Merger Agreement in any material respect and such breach continues

nonbreaching party.

         Termination Fee for CECI. The Merger Agreement provides that if it is
terminated pursuant to clauses (d) or (f) or terminated by CECI pursuant to
clause (g) of the preceding paragraph, Magma will be required to pay CECI a
termination fee of $8,000,000 plus CECI's actual documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred since September 13, 1994 in connection with the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without
limitation, legal and professional fees and expenses.

AMENDMENT

         The Merger Agreement provides that it may be amended by the parties
thereto at any time before the Effective Time by an instrument in writing signed
by the parties. However, after approval of the Merger by Magma's stockholders,
no amendment may be made which would materially adversely affect the interests
of such stockholders or reduce the amount or change the type of consideration
into which each Share will be converted upon consummation of the Merger.
Following the election or appointment of the Acquisition Designees and prior to
the Effective Time, any amendment of the Merger Agreement or Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, any termination of the Merger Agreement by Magma, any
extension by Magma of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or
other acts of CECI or CE Sub, or waiver of any of

majority (which shall be at least two) of the Disinterested Directors.

         On September 19, 1994, the day of CECI's issuance of its press release
announcing the transmission of a letter to Magma containing a proposal to
acquire Magma in a transaction in which stockholders would receive cash and
shares of CECI Common Stock having a combined cash and market value of $35 per
share, the last reported sale price for CECI Common Stock was $16.875. On
December 2, 1994, the last full trading day prior to the announcement that the
Merger Agreement had been executed, the last reported sale price for CECI Common
Stock was $16.50. On January 26, 1995, the last full trading day for which
quotations were available at the time of printing of this Information Statement,
the last reported sale price for CECI Common Stock was $17.63. STOCKHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO OBTAIN CURRENT QUOTATIONS FOR THE CECI COMMON STOCK.
    
         As of March 21, 1994, there were approximately 1,408 holders of record
of CECI Common Stock.

         The present policy of CECI is to retain earnings to provide sufficient
funds for the operation and expansion of CECI's business. Accordingly, CECI has
not paid, and does not have any present plan to pay, cash dividends on CECI
Common Stock. In January of 1990 and January of 1991, CECI paid a 4% stock

dividend to the holders of CECI Common Stock. CECI did not pay such a dividend
in 1992, and has no plans to pay any such dividend in the future.

         The agreements relating to the Senior Notes issued by CECI prohibit the
payment of dividends unless CECI satisfies various covenants and conditions. The
Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock
prohibits cash dividend payments with respect to CECI Common Stock unless all
accumulated dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock have been paid.

         CECI's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon receipt of dividends
or other distributions from CECI's subsidiaries and the partnerships and joint
ventures in which CECI has interests. The availability of distributions from the
Coso Project is subject to the satisfaction of various covenants and conditions
contained in the Coso Joint Ventures' refinancing documents and CECI anticipates
that future project level financings will contain certain conditions and similar
restrictions on the distribution of cash flow to CECI.

PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

         The following Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as
of September 30, 1994 and the Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Statements
of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 combine the historical consolidated balance sheets of CECI
and Magma as if the acquisition had been effective on September 30, 1994, and
the historical statements of income as if the acquisition had been effective at
the beginning of the period. The acquisition is reflected under the purchase
method of accounting, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments and
assumptions described in the accompanying notes. Under this method of
accounting, which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, assets and liabilities of Magma are adjusted to their estimated fair
value, and combined with the recorded values of the assets and liabilities of
CECI. This pro forma combined financial data should be read in conjunction with
the financial data appearing under "SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
AND OPERATING DATA OF CECI," "SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA OF
MAGMA" and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto,
of CECI and Magma, included herein.

         CECI has not completed reviewing Magma's records in order to make its
determination of the fair value of Magma's assets and liabilities. The fair
value adjustments reflected in the accompanying pro forma combined financial
data reflect, among other things, estimates of fair value made by CECI based on
market quotations and assumptions it believes to be reasonable.

         It should be noted, however, that the actual fair values will be
determined on the basis of the financial condition of Magma at the time the
Shares are purchased.

         The pro forma data do not reflect operating efficiencies and cost
reductions which CECI anticipates are achievable. The savings would be largely
attributable to the economies of scale obtained through the combination of
CECI's operations with Magma's operations, and the resulting decrease in
employment and occupancy costs, as well as general overhead expenses.

         The pro forma combined financial data are not intended to present the
results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition had been in effect
on the assumed dates and for the assumed periods, and are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be obtained in the future.

         NOTES TO PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
                     (MERGER CONSIDERATION CONSISTING OF A
                   COMBINATION OF CASH AND CECI COMMON STOCK)
                                 CECI AND MAGMA
                              (TABLES IN THOUSANDS)

        The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase.  The resulting
adjustments are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
CECI and Magma. The final adjustments will be based on the fair value of CECI
Common Stock and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Magma at or
near the closing.  For purposes of the pro forma combined financial statements,
it is assumed that one hundred percent of the Shares will be acquired and that
the fair value of the CECI Common Stock will be $16.50 (the mid-point of the
"Average Closing Price" range limits stipulated in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger).

        The pro forma unaudited condensed combined financial statements are
based on the following assumptions:

1.      The Merger occurred as of September 30, 1994 for balance sheet purposes
and at the beginning of the periods presented for statement of earnings
purposes.

2.      23,843,000 Shares outstanding as of September 30, 1994 will be purchased
for $39.00 per Share consisting of a package of, on a blended basis,
approximately $28.50 per share in cash and approximately $10.50 in market value
per share of CECI Common Stock (see "Merger Consideration").

3.      The Magma options outstanding will be retired for approximately
$8,500,000 in cash.

4.      The pro forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the transaction are
as follows:

        A.      The adjustments reflect the elimination of Magma's equity
accounts and the issuance of CECI Common Stock.

        B.      The adjustments which have been made to the net assets of Magma
and CECI to give effect to the Merger follow:

           Assumed value of the
              Common Stock and cash consideration
              plus estimated direct costs to be
              incurred in consummating the Merger . .          $942,377

                                                                      $710,944
                                                                ==============

        D.      The pro forma adjustments to the pro forma combined statements
of earnings include the following:

                i.      Record amortization of the excess of purchase price over
net assets acquired over a 40-year period, eliminate the amortization of
goodwill from the historical operating results of Magma and provide depreciation
expense on costs allocated to property and plant.  CECI's policy is to provide
depreciation and amortization expense beginning upon the commencement of energy
production over the estimated remaining useful life of plant and equipment or
the contract period for costs applicable to power sales and development
contracts.  Costs of $150 million have been allocated to power sales and
development contracts and plant for which energy production is not expected to
commence until 1996 or later.  Accordingly, revenues, period operating costs and
amortization of future costs to be incurred in the completion of such facilities
together with amortization of this allocation of acquisition costs are not
included in the pro forma combined statements of earnings.

                ii.     Increase interest expense relating to amortization of
deferred financing costs over ten years and cash used to finance the merger,
utilizing an 8.75 percent annual interest rate assumption applied to additional
borrowings and a 5 percent annual interest rate assumption applicable to the
reduction of cash on hand.

                iii.    Change income tax expense as a result of pro forma
adjustments which affect taxable income.

                        The pro forma income per common share has been
determined on the basis of weighted average outstanding shares which have been
adjusted to include the number of shares of CECI Common Stock to be exchanged
for the outstanding Shares.

5.      The pro forma combined income from continuing operations available to
common shareholders per share for the year ended December 31, 1993, and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, would be $0.82 and $0.78, respectively, based
upon the assumption that (1) 100% of the Shares are acquired by CECI and (2) the
market value of CECI Common Stock issued to the present shareholders of Magma is
$18.73 per share.  The pro forma combined book value per share at September 30,
1994, would be $9.45 under the same assumptions.

6.      The pro forma combined income from continuing operations available to
common shareholders per share for the year ended December 31, 1993, and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, would be $0.76 and $0.72, respectively, based
upon the assumption that (1) 100% of the Shares are acquired by CECI and (2) the
market value of CECI Common Stock issued to the present shareholders of Magma is
$14.27 per share.  The pro forma combined book value per share at September 30,
1994, would be $8.66 under the same assumptions.

                      (TABLES IN THOUSANDS)

        The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase.  The resulting
adjustments are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
CECI and Magma.  The final adjustments will be based upon the net proceeds to
CECI from the sale of its Common Stock contemplated by this Information
Statement and the fair market value of the assets of Magma at or near the
Effective Time.

        The pro forma unaudited condensed combined financial statements are
based on the following assumptions:

1.      The Merger occurred as of September 30, 1994 for balance sheet purposes
and at the beginning of the periods presented for statement of earnings
purposes.

2.      16,666,667 shares of CECI Common Stock will be sold at a price
sufficient to provide net proceeds of $16.00 per share to CECI, all of which
will be used to fund a portion of the cost of the Merger.  The CECI treasury
stock will be canceled.

3.      23,843,000 Shares outstanding as of September 30, 1994 will be purchased
for cash in an amount of $483,600,000 as to 12,400,000 Shares and cash in an
amount of $440,266,000 as to 11,443,000 Shares.

4.      The Magma options outstanding will be retired for approximately
$8,500,000 in cash.

5.      The pro forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the transaction are
as follows:

        A.      The adjustments reflect the elimination of Magma's equity
accounts, the sale of CECI Common Stock, and the cancellation of CECI treasury
stock.

        B.      The adjustments which have been made to the net assets of Magma
and CECI to give effect to the Merger follow:

           Cash consideration

        D.      The pro forma adjustments to the pro forma combined statements
of earnings include the following:

                i.      Record amortization of the excess of purchase price over
net assets acquired over a 40-year period, eliminate the amortization of
goodwill from the historical operating results of Magma and provide depreciation
expense on costs allocated to property and plant.  CECI's policy is to provide
depreciation and amortization expense beginning upon the commencement of energy
production over the estimated remaining useful life of plant and equipment or
the contract period for costs applicable to power sales and development
contracts.  Costs of $150 million have been allocated to power sales and
development contracts and plant for which energy production is not expected to
commence until 1996 or later.  Accordingly, revenues, period operating costs and
amortization of future costs to be incurred in the completion of such facilities
together with amortization of this allocation of acquisition costs are not
included in the pro forma combined statements of earnings.

                ii.     Increase interest expense relating to amortization of
deferred financing costs over ten years and cash used to finance the merger,
utilizing an 8.75 percent annual interest rate assumption applied to additional
borrowings and a 5 percent annual interest rate assumption applicable to the
reduction of cash on hand.

                iii.    Change income tax expense as a result of pro forma
adjustments which affect taxable income.

                        The pro forma income per common share has been
determined on the basis of weighted average outstanding shares which have been
adjusted to include the number of shares of CECI Common Stock to be sold.

                           BUSINESS OF CECI AND MAGMA
                            AND RELATED INFORMATION
   
                                    GENERAL


CECI

         CECI was founded in 1971 to develop geothermal power production
facilities. CECI is primarily engaged in the exploration for, and development
and operation of, environmentally responsible independent power production
facilities worldwide utilizing geothermal resources or other energy sources,
such as hydroelectric, natural gas, oil and coal.

         Following completion of the Merger, CECI will be the largest
independent geothermal power producer in the world (on the basis of CECI's
estimate of the aggregate MW of electric generating capacity in operation and
under construction). CECI will have an aggregate net ownership interest of 354
MW of electric generating capacity in power production facilities in the United
States having an aggregate net capacity of 571 MW. All of these facilities will
be managed and operated by CECI and are principally located in Southern
California. In addition to the electricity sales revenue earned from its net
ownership position in such facilities, CECI receives significant fee and royalty
income from operating such plants and managing the production from the
geothermal resources for such facilities. CECI will have an aggregate net
ownership interest of 409 MW of electric generating capacity in three geothermal
power projects in the Philippines, having an aggregate net capacity of 500 MW,
which projects are financed and under construction. CECI is also developing
eight additional projects with executed or awarded power sales contracts in the
Philippines, Indonesia and the United States. CECI will have an approximate net
ownership interest of 935 MW in these development projects representing an
aggregate net capacity of 1,589 MW of additional potential electric generating
capacity.

         PKS is an approximate 44% stockholder of CECI (on a fully diluted
basis). PKS is a large employee-owned construction, mining and
telecommunications company with approximately $2.2 billion in revenues in 1993.
PKS is one of the largest construction companies in North America and has been
in the construction business since 1884. Since the initial PKS investment in
CECI in 1991 (which at that time represented approximately 25% of the CECI
Common Stock on a fully diluted basis), a new management team has been installed
and CECI's net income has increased from $12.0 million for the 12-month period
ended December 31, 1990 to $29.4 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1994.

REASONS FOR THE MERGER

         CECI believes that Magma is an excellent strategic fit and that the
acquisition of Magma will create significant benefits, including:

         o    EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS

         Development of new opportunities, particularly internationally, is a
key component of CECI's strategy. Since 1990, CECI and Magma have each pursued
international development opportunities primarily in Southeast Asia. By pursuing
additional development opportunities rather than competing with Magma for the
same opportunities, CECI expects to expand its development efforts to cover
additional projects and thereby more effectively capitalize on the numerous
opportunities in the growing international independent power market.


                                                        83

         Furthermore, CECI will have available to it technology of both
companies. CECI owns production technology compatible with the relatively low
mineral content of its wells at the Coso Project, and Magma owns technology
compatible with the high levels of mineral precipitates found in the geothermal
resource at the Salton Sea Projects. CECI expects that access to these
technologies will enable it to compete for new power development projects from
geothermal reservoirs encompassing a wide range of geothermal resource
characteristics.

         o    BENEFITS OF INCREASED SIZE

         CECI believes that size is an important factor in determining the
success of an independent power producer. This view is based on CECI's belief
that potential customers consider both the price of power and the provider's
capacity to fulfill its obligations as primary factors in the selection of power
suppliers. The expanded size and capabilities of the combined companies is
expected to further enhance CECI's reputation and credibility with sovereign
governments and state utility customers and therefore enhance its ability to
successfully compete for new projects. Following the Merger, CECI will have over
$2 billion of total assets and an aggregate net ownership interest of 1,698 MW
in projects in operation, under construction or in development, which projects
have an aggregate net generating capacity of 2,770 MW. CECI also believes that
the combination with Magma will create the opportunity to reduce CECI's average
cost per kWh by expanding its asset base, without materially expanding its cost
structure. This will allow CECI to be more price competitive with other
geothermal power producers and traditional fossil fuel power plants, which CECI
believes will be its primary competition in the future.

         o    OPPORTUNITIES FOR OPERATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COST SAVINGS

              Based in part on its experience in restructuring the operations of
CECI since 1991, management of CECI believes that it can achieve meaningful cost
savings upon the combination of Magma and CECI. Through the implementation of
CECI's existing organizational structure, management policies and cost controls,
CECI presently expects that the cost of duplicate functions will be
substantially eliminated and that the productivity of its combined operating and
administrative staff will be significantly increased.

         o    DIVERSIFICATION IN SOURCES OF REVENUE AND OPERATIONS

              The combination of CECI's and Magma's operations will increase
CECI's sources of revenue and increase the number of operating sites (including
projects under construction) from eight to 16. CECI believes that the resulting
diversification in sources of revenue and operations can be expected to reduce
the risk profile of CECI, thereby enhancing its overall credit position and
improving its access to capital in relation to competitors with more
concentrated sources of revenue and operations.
    
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

         Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable and generally sustainable
energy source that releases significantly lower levels of emissions than result
from energy generation based on the burning of fossil fuels. Geothermal energy
is derived from the natural heat of the earth when water comes sufficiently
close to hot molten rock to heat the water to temperatures of 400 degrees
Fahrenheit or more. The heated water then ascends naturally toward the surface
of the earth where it can be extracted by drilling geothermal wells. The energy
necessary to operate a geothermal power plant is typically obtained from several
such wells which are drilled using established technology similar to that
employed in the oil and gas industry.

                                   [Picture]

         Geothermal production wells are normally located within approximately
one to two miles of the power plant as geothermal fluids cannot be transported
economically over longer distances. From the well heads, the heated fluid flows
through pipelines to a series of separators where it is separated into water,
brine and steam. The steam is passed through a turbine which drives a generator
to generate electricity. Once the steam has passed through the turbine, it is
then cooled and condensed back into water which, along with any brine, is
returned to the geothermal reservoir via injection wells. Geothermal plants in
the United States are eligible to be qualifying facilities ("QFs") under the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA"), which provides for
certain beneficial Federal regulatory treatment. The geothermal reservoir is a
renewable source of energy if natural ground water sources and re-injection of
extracted geothermal fluids are adequate over the long term to replenish the
geothermal reservoir after the withdrawal of geothermal fluids.

         The generation of electric power from geothermal resources has certain
advantages when compared to other methods of electric power generation.
Geothermal energy facilities generate significantly less emissions than fossil
fuel power plants. Geothermal energy facilities typically have higher capital
costs but tend to have significantly lower variable costs than fossil fuel-based
power plants. The utilization of geothermal power is preferred by certain
governments so as to minimize the import, or maximize the export, of
hydrocarbons. Geothermal power facilities also enjoy certain tax benefits in the
United States.

GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE  -  "RING OF FIRE"

         Geothermal energy is most prevalent where the different sections or
plates of the Earth's crust meet. Productive geothermal resources are found
throughout the Pacific Rim (the so-called "Ring of Fire"), including the western
United States, Latin America, Hawaii, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and
New Zealand. These areas are experiencing high rates of population growth and
increased demand for new electric generating capacity.

                                   [Picture]
    
THE GLOBAL POWER MARKET

         The opportunity for independent power generation has expanded from a
United States market consisting of cogeneration and small power production
projects to a global competitive market for power generation. Many foreign
countries have initiated restructuring policies after the advent of the
independent power market in the United States.
   
         In the United States, the independent power industry expanded rapidly
in the 1980's, facilitated by the enactment of PURPA. PURPA was enacted to
encourage the production of electricity by non-utility companies as well as to
lessen reliance on imported fuels. According to the Utility Data Institute,
independent power producers were responsible for about 30,000 MW, or 50%, of the
U.S. electric generation capacity which has been placed in service since 1988.

         As the size of the United States independent power market has
increased, available domestic power capacity and competition in the industry
have also significantly increased. Over the past decade, obtaining a power sales
contract from a U.S utility has generally become increasingly difficult,
expensive and competitive. Many states now require power sales contracts to be
awarded through competitive bidding, which both increases the cost of obtaining
such contracts and decreases the chances of obtaining such contracts as bids
significantly outnumber awards in most competitive solicitations. The federal
Energy Policy Act of 1992 is expected to further increase domestic competition.
As a result of this increased competition, it may be difficult to obtain a power
sales agreement for a proposed project in the United States, and the terms and
conditions of any such contract may be less favorable than those in prior
agreements.

                                                        85

         Large amounts of new electric power generating capacity are required in
developing countries. The movement toward privatization in some developing
countries has created significant new markets outside the United States. In
1990, the World Bank estimated that developing countries will need approximately
380,000 MW of new power generating capacity through the end of the decade. The
need for such rapid expansion has caused many countries to select private power
development as their only practical alternative and to restructure their
legislative and regulatory systems to facilitate such development. CECI believes
that this significant need for power has created strong local support for
private power projects in many foreign countries and increased the availability
of attractive long-term power contracts. CECI intends to take advantage of
opportunities in these new markets and to develop, construct and acquire power
generation projects outside the United States.

STRATEGY

         Domestically, CECI is focusing on market opportunities in which it
believes it has relative competitive advantages due to its geotechnical, project
management and operating expertise. In addition, CECI expects to continue
diversification into other environmentally responsible sources of energy
primarily through selected acquisitions of partially developed or existing power
generating projects and contracts.

         CECI presently believes that the international independent power market
holds the majority of new opportunities for financially attractive private power
development in the next several years, in large part because the demand for new
generating capacity is growing more rapidly in emerging nations than in the
United States. In developing its international strategy, CECI pursues
development opportunities in countries which it believes have an acceptable risk
profile and where CECI's geothermal resource development and operating
experience, project development expertise or strategic relationship with PKS or
local partners are expected to provide it with a competitive advantage.
Subsequent to the Merger, CECI will have financed and have under construction
three projects representing an aggregate of 409 MW of net ownership of electric
generating capacity in the Philippines. In addition, CECI is currently pursuing
a number of other electric power project opportunities in countries including
the Philippines and Indonesia. These countries are ideally suited for CECI to
develop, finance and operate power projects successfully because of their
excellent population demographics, extensive geothermal resources and stated
commitments to the development private power programs. CECI's development
efforts include both so-called "greenfield" development as well as the
acquisition of or participation in the joint venture development of projects
which are under development or already operating. In greenfield development,
CECI attempts to negotiate power sales contracts for new generation capacity or
engages in competitive bids in response to government agency or utility requests
for proposals for new capacity.

         In pursuing its international strategy, CECI intends to own a
significant equity interest in, and to operate, the projects it develops or
acquires. In order to compete more effectively internationally, CECI's strategy
is to attempt to diversify its project portfolio, extend its future equity
funding capacity through joint ventures and utilize fixed-price, turnkey
construction contracts with contractors experienced in the construction of power
plants or other infrastructure facilities. CECI also believes that it is
important in foreign transactions to work with local partners who are
knowledgeable concerning local culture, politics and commercial practices and
who provide a visible local presence and local project representation.

         With respect to emerging market projects, CECI's policy is to attempt
to minimize currency risks, including the devaluation of local currencies versus
the U.S. dollar, as well as the risk of availability of hard currency
convertibility. To date, all of CECI's executed power contracts contain
provisions which index CECI's returns to U.S. dollars or provide for the payment
of capacity payments in U.S. dollars. To the extent possible, CECI attempts to
secure "political risk" insurance from the Overseas Private Insurance
Corporation ("OPIC") or similar multilateral agencies to limit its risk in
emerging market countries. In addition, CECI endeavors to involve the World
Bank, export credit agencies or multilateral funding sources in its
international project financings. CECI

                                                        85




     
<PAGE>






believes multilateral lending agencies and foreign source financing and
political risk insurance are available for certain international private power
projects, particularly those utilizing indigenous fuel sources in renewable or
otherwise environmentally responsible generating facilities. CECI believes that
the involvement of these institutions will enhance an international project's
position in emerging market countries.

         CECI has an international joint venture agreement with PKS which CECI
believes enhances CECI's capabilities in foreign power markets. The joint
venture agreement is limited to international activities and provides that if
both CECI and PKS agree to participate in a project, they will share all
development costs equally. Each of CECI and PKS will provide 50% of the equity
required for financing a project developed by the joint venture and CECI will
operate and manage such project. The agreement creates a joint development
structure under which, on a project by project basis, CECI will be the
development manager, managing partner and/or project operator, an equal equity
participant with PKS and a preferred participant in the construction consortium
and PKS will be an equal equity participant and the preferred turnkey
construction contractor. The joint venture agreement may be terminated by either
party on 15 days written notice, provided that such termination cannot affect
the pre-existing contractual obligations of either party.

         In order to augment its technical capabilities, in 1993 CECI acquired
The Ben Holt Co. ("BHCO"), a California based engineering firm with over 25
years of geothermal experience, specializing in feasibility studies, process
design, detailed engineering, procurement, construction and operation of
geothermal power plants, gathering systems and related facilities.

THE PROJECTS

         Upon completion of the Merger, CECI will have net ownership interests
of an aggregate of (i) 354 MW in 13 projects in operation representing an
aggregate net capacity of 571 MW of electric generating capacity, (ii) 409 MW in
three projects under construction representing an aggregate net capacity of 500
MW of electric generating capacity and (iii) 935 MW in eight projects in
development stages with signed power sale agreements or under award representing
an aggregate net capacity of 1,589 MW of electric generating capacity. The
following table sets out CECI's various projects in operation, under
construction and in the latter stages of development pursuant to signed power
sales agreements or awarded mandates, in each case subsequent to the Merger.

                      INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS -- DISCUSSION

PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION

         THE PHILIPPINES. CECI believes that increasing industrialization, a
rising standard of living and an expanding power distribution network has
significantly increased demand for electrical power in the Philippines.
According to the 1993 Power Development Program of the National Power
Corporation of the Philippines ("NAPOCOR"), demand for electricity exceeds
supply. NAPOCOR has also reported that its ability to sustain desired levels of
electric production from existing facilities has been limited due to frequent
breakdowns in many of its older electric generating plants. As a result, the
Philippines has experienced severe power outages, with Manila suffering
significant daily brownouts during much of 1993 and periodic brownouts during
1994. Although the occurrence of brownouts has been recently reduced, NAPOCOR
has said that it still anticipates significant energy shortages in the future.
   
         In 1993, the Philippine Congress, pursuant to Republic Act 7648,
granted President Ramos emergency powers to remedy the Philippine energy crisis,
including authority to (i) exempt power projects from public bidding
requirements, (ii) increase power rates and (iii) reorganize NAPOCOR. Until
1987, NAPOCOR had a monopoly on power generation and transmission in the
Philippines. In 1987, then President Aquino issued Executive Order No. 215,
which granted private companies the right to develop certain power generation
projects, such as those using indigenous energy sources on a
"build-operate-transfer" or "build-transfer" basis. In 1990, the Philippine
Congress enacted Republic Act No. 6957, which authorized private development of
priority infra-structure projects on a "build-operate-transfer" and a
"build-transfer" basis. In addition, under that Act, such power projects were
made eligible for certain tax benefits, including exemption from Philippine
national income taxes for at least six years and exemption from, or
reimbursement for, customs duties and value added taxes on capital equipment to
be incorporated into such projects. In 1994, certain amendments to Republic Act
No. 6957 were approved by the Philippine Congress and signed into law (R.A.
7718). Among other things, such amendments provide for the financing of
"unsolicited proposals" on a "build-operate-transfer" basis.
    
         In an effort to remedy the shortfall of electricity, the Philippines,
NAPOCOR and the Philippine National Oil Company-Energy Development Company
("PNOC-EDC") continue to jointly solicit bids for private power projects. Among
private power projects selected through this solicitation process were the Upper
Mahiao (the "Upper Mahiao Project"), Mahanagdong (the "Mahanagdong Project"),
Malitbog (the "Malitbog Project") and Alto Peak (the "Alto Peak Project")
geothermal power projects, as described below. Geothermal power has been
identified as a preferred alternative by the Philippine Government due to the
domestic availability and the minimal environmental effects of geothermal power
in comparison to other forms of power production. PNOC-EDC, which is responsible
for developing the Philippines' domestic energy sources, has been successful in
the exploration and development of geothermal resources.
   
         CECI and Magma have financed and commenced construction of the Upper
Mahiao, Mahanagdong and Malitbog Projects, which have an aggregate net capacity
of 500 MW, of which CECI's aggregate net ownership interest is 409 MW subsequent
to the Merger.

                                   [Picture]

         Upper Mahiao. CECI has closed the financing and commenced construction
of the Upper Mahiao Project, a 128 gross MW geothermal project to be located in
the Greater Tongonan area of the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The Upper
Mahiao Project will be built, owned and operated by CE Cebu Geothermal Power
Company, Inc. ("CE Cebu"), a Philippine corporation that is approximately 100%
indirectly owned by CECI.

                                                        90

It will sell 100% of its capacity on a "take-or-pay" basis (described below) to
PNOC-EDC, which will in turn sell the power to NAPOCOR for distribution to the
island of Cebu, located about 40 miles west of Leyte.

         The Upper Mahiao Project will have a total project cost of
approximately $218 million, including interest during construction, project
contingency costs and a debt service reserve fund. A consortium of international
banks has committed to provide approximately $162 million in a project-financed
construction loan, supported by political risk insurance from the Export-Import
Bank of the United States ("ExIm Bank"). The largest portion of the term loan
for the project will also be provided by ExIm Bank. CECI's equity contribution
to the Upper Mahiao Project is $56 million. Subject to the pledge of the project
company's stock to the lenders, CECI has arranged for political risk insurance
of its equity investment through OPIC. The financing is collateralized by all
the assets of the project.

         The Upper Mahiao Project is being constructed by Ormat, Inc. ("Ormat")
and its affiliates pursuant to supply and construction contracts (collectively,
the "Upper Mahiao EPC"), which, taken together, provide for the construction of
the plant on a fixed-price, date-certain, turnkey basis. Ormat is an
international manufacturer and construction contractor that builds binary
geothermal turbines. It has provided its equipment to several geothermal power
projects throughout the United States, the Philippines and internationally. The
Upper Mahiao EPC Contract provides liquidated damage protection of up to 30% of
the Upper Mahiao EPC price. Ormat's performance under the Upper Mahiao EPC is
backed by a completion guaranty of Ormat, by letters of credit, and by a limited
guaranty of Ormat Industries, Ltd., an Israeli corporation and the parent of
Ormat, in each case for the benefit of the project lenders.

         Under the terms of an energy conversion agreement, executed on
September 6, 1993 (the "Upper Mahiao ECA"), CE Cebu will build, own and operate
the Upper Mahiao Project during the approximately two-year construction period
and the ten-year cooperation period, after which ownership will be transferred
to PNOC-EDC at no cost.

         The Upper Mahiao Project will be located on land provided by PNOC-EDC
at no cost. It will take geothermal steam and fluid, also provided by PNOC-EDC
at no cost, and convert its thermal energy into electrical energy to be sold to
PNOC-EDC on a "take-or-pay" basis. Specifically, PNOC-EDC will be obligated to
pay for the electric capacity that is nominated each year by CE Cebu,
irrespective of whether PNOC-EDC is willing or able to accept delivery of such
capacity. PNOC-EDC will pay to CE Cebu a fee (the "Capacity Fee") based on the
plant capacity nominated to PNOC-EDC in any year (which, at the plant's design
capacity, is approximately 95% of total contract revenues) and a fee (the
"Energy Fee") based on the electricity actually delivered to PNOC-EDC
(approximately 5% of total contract revenues). The Capacity Fee serves to
recover the capital costs of the project, to recover fixed operating costs and
to cover return on investment. The Energy Fee is designed to cover all variable
operating and maintenance costs of the power plant. Payments under the Upper
Mahiao ECA will be denominated in U.S. dollars, or computed in U.S. dollars and
paid in Philippine pesos at the then-current exchange rate, except for the
Energy Fee, which will be used to pay Philippine peso-denominated expenses. The
convertibility of Philippine peso receipts into U.S. dollars is insured by OPIC.
Significant portions of the Capacity Fee and Energy Fee will be indexed to U.S.
and Philippine inflation rates, respectively. PNOC-EDC's payment requirements,
and its other obligations under the Upper Mahiao ECA, are supported by the
Government of the Philippines through a performance undertaking.

         The payment of the Capacity Fee is not excused if PNOC-EDC fails to
deliver or remove the steam or fluids or fails to provide the transmission
facilities, even if its failure was caused by a force majeure event. In
addition, PNOC-EDC must continue to make Capacity Fee payments if there is a
force majeure event (e.g., war, nationalization, etc.) that affects the
operation of the Upper Mahiao Project and that is within the reasonable control
of PNOC-EDC or the government of the Philippines or any agency or authority
thereof. If CE Cebu fails

                                                        91

to meet certain construction milestones or the power plant fails to achieve 70%
of its design capacity by the date that is 120 days after the scheduled
completion date (as that date may be extended for force majeure and other
reasons under the Upper Mahiao ECA), the Upper Mahiao Project may, under certain
circumstances, be deemed "abandoned," in which case the Upper Mahiao Project
must be transferred to PNOC-EDC at no cost, subject to any liens existing
thereon.

         PNOC-EDC is obligated to purchase CE Cebu's interest in the facility
under certain circumstances, including (i) extended outages resulting from the
failure of PNOC-EDC to provide the required geothermal fluid, (ii) certain
material changes in policies or laws which adversely affect CE Cebu's interest
in the project, (iii) transmission failure, (iv) failure of PNOC-EDC to make
timely payments of amounts due under the Upper Mahiao ECA, (v) privatization of
PNOC-EDC or NAPOCOR, and (vi) certain other events. Prior to completion of the
Upper Mahiao Project, the buy-out price will be equal to all costs incurred
through the date of the buy-out, including all Upper Mahiao Project debt, plus
an additional rate of return on equity of ten percent per annum. In a
post-completion buy-out, the price will be the net present value (at a discount
rate based on the last published Commercial Interest Reference Rate of the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) of the total remaining
amount of Capacity Fees over the remaining term of the Upper Mahiao ECA.

         Mahanagdong. CECI has also closed the financing and commenced
construction of the Mahanagdong Project, a 180 gross MW geothermal project,
which will also be located on the island of Leyte. The Mahanagdong Project will
be built, owned and operated by CE Luzon Geothermal Power Company, Inc. ("CE
Luzon"), a Philippine corporation that during construction is indirectly owned
50% by CECI and 50% by PKS. Up to a 10% financial interest in CE Luzon may be
sold at completion to another industrial company at the option of such company.
The Mahanagdong Project will sell 100% of its capacity on a similar basis as
described above for the Upper Mahiao Project to PNOC-EDC, which will in turn
sell the power to NAPOCOR for distribution to the island of Luzon.

         Mahanagdong has a total project cost of approximately $320 million,
including interest during construction, project contingency costs and a debt
service reserve fund. The capital structure consists of a project financing
construction and term loan of approximately $240 million provided by OPIC, ExIm
Bank and a consortium of international banks, and approximately $80 million in
equity contributions. Political risk insurance from ExIm Bank has been obtained
for the commercial lenders. CECI's equity investment for the Mahanagdong Project
will be approximately $40 million. Subject to the pledge of the project
company's stock to the lenders, CECI has arranged for political risk insurance
on its equity investment through OPIC. The financing is collateralized by all
the assets of the project.

         The Mahanagdong Project is being constructed by a consortium (the "EPC
Consortium") of Kiewit Construction Group, Inc. ("KCG") and BHCO pursuant to
fixed-price, date-certain, turnkey supply and construction contracts
(collectively, the "Mahanagdong EPC"). The obligations of the EPC Consortium
under the Mahanagdong EPC are supported by a guaranty of KCG at an aggregate
amount equal to approximately 50% of the Mahanagdong EPC price. The Mahanagdong
EPC provides for maximum liability for liquidated damages of up to $100.5
million and total liability of up to $201 million. KCG, a wholly owned
subsidiary of PKS, is the lead member of the EPC Consortium, with an 80%
interest. KCG performs construction services for a wide range of public and
private customers in the U.S. and internationally. Construction projects
undertaken by KCG during 1993 included transportation projects, including
highways, bridges, airports and railroads, power facilities, buildings and sewer
and waste disposal systems, and water supply systems, utility facilities, dams
and reservoirs. KCG accounts for 80% of PKS's revenues, contributing $1.7
billion in revenues in 1993. KCG has an extensive background in power plant
construction.

         BHCO will provide design and engineering services for the EPC
Consortium, holding a 20% interest. CECI has provided a guaranty of BHCO's
obligations under the Mahanagdong EPC Contract.

         The terms of an energy conversion agreement (the "Mahanagdong ECA"),
executed on September 18, 1993, are substantially similar to those of the Upper
Mahiao ECA. The Mahanagdong ECA provides for an approximately three-year
construction period and a ten-year cooperation period. At the end of the
cooperation period, the facility will be transferred to PNOC-EDC at no cost. All
of PNOC-EDC's obligations under the Mahanagdong ECA are supported by the
Government of the Philippines through a performance undertaking. The capacity
fees are expected to be approximately 97% of total revenues at the design
capacity levels and the energy fees are expected to be approximately 3% of such
total revenues.

         Malitbog. In December 1994, Magma closed the financing and commenced
construction of the Malitbog Project, a 231 gross MW geothermal project, which
will also be located on the island of Leyte. The Malitbog Project will be built,
owned and operated by Visayas Geothermal Power Company ("VGPC"), a Philippine
general partnership that is wholly owned, indirectly, by Magma. VGPC will sell
100% of its capacity on substantially the same basis as described above for the
Upper Mahiao Project to PNOC-EDC, which will in turn sell the power to NAPOCOR.

         The Malitbog Project has a total project cost of approximately $280
million, including interest during construction and project contingency costs. A
consortium of international banks and OPIC have provided a total of $210 million
of construction and term loan facilities, the $135 million international bank
portion of which is supported by political risk insurance from OPIC. Magma's
equity contribution to VGPC was $70 million. Magma's equity participation is
covered by political risk insurance from OPIC.

         The Malitbog Project will be constructed by Sumitomo Corporation
("Sumitomo") pursuant to a fixed-price, date-certain, turnkey supply and
construction contract (the "Malitbog EPC"). The Malitbog EPC provides that
certain liquidated damages will be paid by Sumitomo for failure to meet certain
scheduled performance test dates, including the payment of any liquidated
damages or penalties required to be paid by VGPC to PNOC-EDC under an energy
conversion agreement (subject to limitations on the total amount of liquidated
damages payable by Sumitomo). The Malitbog EPC also provides for the payment of
certain liquidated damages on a per unit basis if upon completion of the
facility, tests do not demonstrate such unit's ability to operate at a net
generating capacity of at least 74.1 MW. The liquidated damages for each
generating unit are capped at 13 1/3% of the total Malitbog EPC. Pursuant to a
reimbursement undertaking, Magma has agreed to reimburse Sumitomo for draws, if
any, by PNOC-EDC on the construction bond provided by Sumitomo on behalf of
Magma in excess of the liquidated damage amounts provided in the Malitbog EPC.

         Sumitomo is one of the principal trading and investment companies in
Japan, and has built power plants around the world, often on a turnkey basis. As
of October 20, 1994, Sumitomo had a credit rating of "Aa3" from Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). The Malitbog EPC requires Sumitomo to
provide engineering, procurement, construction, start-up and testing services
with respect to the facility.

         Construction of the facility has begun, with commercial operation of
unit 1 scheduled to commence in July 1996, and commercial operation of unit 2
and unit 3 scheduled to commence in July 1997.

         The terms of the "Malitbog ECA", executed on September 10, 1993, are
substantially similar to those of the Upper Mahiao ECA. The Malitbog ECA
provides for a two-phase construction period, of three identical 77 gross MW
units. The cooperation period is ten years from the completion of unit 3. At the
end of the cooperation period, the facility will be transferred to PNOC-EDC at
no cost. All of PNOC-EDC's obligations

under the Malitbog ECA are supported by the Government of the Philippines
through a performance undertaking. The capacity fees are 100% of total revenues
and there is no energy fee.

PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT

         Casecnan. In November 1994, CECI signed a "Project Agreement" with the
Philippine National Irrigation Administration ("NIA") to develop an estimated
$320 million combined irrigation and hydroelectric power generation project (the
"Casecnan Multipurpose Project"). Such Project will deliver excess water from
the Casecnan and Denip (Cagayan) watershed in Northern Luzon to the Pampanga
watershed and the Pantabangan Reservoir for irrigation use in the Central Luzon
Valley. The Casecnan Multipurpose Project, which has satisfied the requirements
for an unsolicited proposal under the amended BOT law, will also provide 140 MW
of net electric generation capacity to the Luzon grid.

         The project agreement is structured as a build, operate and transfer
agreement under which NIA will supply the water for the Project and provides for
a 20-year cooperation period with significant "take-or-pay" obligations for
water and electricity. At the end of the 20-year cooperation period, the
Casecnan Multipurpose Project will be transferred to NIA at no cost. CECI
anticipates commencing construction in 1995.

         Completion of such Project remains subject to a number of significant
uncertainties, including arranging financing, obtaining certain required permits
and licenses and completing construction, none of which can be assured.

         Alto Peak. The Alto Peak Project is a smaller geothermal project in the
same general area of Leyte as the Upper Mahiao, Mahanagdong and Malitbog
Projects. Magma and PNOC-EDC have executed a 70 MW net Energy Conversion
Agreement, dated May 7, 1994. The general terms and conditions are similar to
the Malitbog ECA. However, the plant design has not been initiated as PNOC-EDC
has not finalized the steam conditions (pressure, composition and ph), as
PNOC-EDC is still drilling and testing the geothermal wells that will supply
steam to such project. Consequently, Magma has not commenced financing
arrangements for the Alto Peak Project.

         Indonesia. Indonesia, which has the world's fourth largest population,
has experienced rapid growth in electricity demand. CECI believes that load
growth has exceeded 13% since 1980. Furthermore, CECI believes that rapid
expansion in industrial growth has created a backlog of unconnected industrial
users in excess of 4,000 MW. In its sixth five-year plan, the Indonesian
government has called for the addition of 12,000 MW of additional generating
capacity by 1999. The long range plan calls for an additional 15,000 MW to be
added by the year 2004. The plans call for approximately 75% of this capacity to
be added by independent power producers. Although Indonesia is a member of OPEC
and is also the world's largest exporter of liquified natural gas, the
Government of Indonesia has announced that it wishes to maintain sufficient
amounts of oil for export, which will require a shift to coal fired generation
and the use of other energy sources, such as geothermal.

         It is estimated that Indonesia has sufficient geothermal steam
potential to generate 16,000 MW, centered in the Java and Sumatra areas (the two
most populous of the 13,000 islands in Indonesia). To date, less than 150 MW of
geothermal facilities have been commissioned, as the Government of Indonesia was
not encouraging the development of geothermal energy.

         The Indonesian state-owned utility has recently been converted to a
limited liability company, P.T. PLN (Persero) ("PLN"), as a first step toward
the privatization of its two largest generating subsidiaries. The main objective
of Indonesia's electric energy policy has been to secure a continuity of supply
at reasonable rates for households (more than 50% of which have been reported to
have no power) and to minimize the utilization of

                                                        94

hydrocarbons. Rural electrification will remain an important component of the
energy policy as PLN is targeting the addition of 2 million customers a year.

         Indonesia is rated "Baa3" by Moody's and "BBB-" by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group ("S&P"). CECI believes that Indonesia represents an attractive
development opportunity, as it combines growing power needs with ample
geothermal resources and creditworthy contract parties.

         The following is a summary description of certain information
concerning CECI's projects in Indonesia. Since these projects are still in
development, however, there can be no assurance that this information will not
change materially over time. In addition, there can be no assurance that
development efforts on any particular project, or CECI's efforts generally, will
be successful.
    
         Dieng. On December 2, 1994, a subsidiary of CECI executed a joint
operation contract (the "Dieng JOC") for the development of the geothermal steam
field and geothermal power facilities at the Dieng geothermal field, located in
Central Java (the "Dieng Project") with Perusahaan Pertambangan Minyak Dan Gas
Bumi Negara ("Pertamina"), the Indonesian national oil company, and executed a
"take-or-pay" energy sales contract (the "Dieng ESC") with both Pertamina and
PLN, the Indonesian national electric utility.

         A subsidiary of CECI has entered into a joint development agreement
with P.T. Himpurna Enersindo Abadi ("P.T. HEA"), its Indonesian partner, which
is a subsidiary of Himpurna, an association of Indonesian military veterans,
whereby CECI and P.T. HEA have agreed to work together on an exclusive basis to
develop the Dieng Project (the "Dieng Joint Venture"). The Dieng Joint Venture
is structured with subsidiaries of CECI having a minimum 47% interest,
subsidiaries of PKS having the option to take a 47% interest and P.T. HEA having
a 6% interest in the Dieng Project.
   
         Pursuant to the Dieng JOC and ESC, Pertamina will grant to the Dieng
Joint Venture the geothermal field and the wells and other facilities presently
located thereon and the Dieng Joint Venture will build, own and operate power
production units with an aggregate capacity of up to 400 MW. The Dieng Joint
Venture will accept the field operation responsibility for developing and
supplying the geothermal steam and fluids required to operate the plants. The
Dieng JOC is structured as a build own transfer agreement and will expire
(subject to extension by mutual agreement) on the date which is the later of (i)
42 years following effectiveness of the Dieng JOC and (ii) 30 years following
the date of commencement of commercial generation of the final unit completed.
Upon the expiration of the proposed Dieng JOC, all facilities will be
transferred to Pertamina at no cost. The Dieng Joint Venture is required to pay
Pertamina a production allowance equal to three percent of the Dieng Joint
Venture's net operating income from the Dieng Project, plus a further amount
based upon the negotiated value of existing Pertamina geothermal production
facilities that CECI expects will be made available by Pertamina.
    
         Pursuant to the Dieng ESC, PLN agreed to purchase and pay for all of
the Project's capacity and energy output on a "take or pay" basis regardless of
PLN's ability to accept such energy made available from the Dieng Project for a
term equal to that of the Dieng JOC. The price paid for electricity includes a
base energy price per kWh multiplied by the number of kWhs the plants deliver or
are "capable of delivering," whichever is greater. Energy price payments are
also subject to adjustment for inflation. PLN will also pay a capacity payment
based on plant capacity. All such payments are payable in U.S. dollars.

         CECI presently intends to begin well testing by the second quarter of
1995 and to commence construction of an initial 55 MW unit in the 4th quarter of
1995, and then to proceed on a modular basis with construction of three
additional units to follow shortly thereafter, resulting in an aggregate first
phase net capacity at this site of 220 MW. CECI estimates that the total project
cost of these units will be approximately $450 million. The

                                                        95




     
<PAGE>






next phase is expected to expand the total capacity to 400 MW. The cost of the
full Dieng Project is estimated to approximate $1 billion. CECI anticipates a
consortium consisting of KCG and BHCO will submit a proposal for the design and
construction of the Dieng Project, and that CECI, through a subsidiary, will be
responsible for operating and managing the Dieng Project.

         The Dieng field has been explored domestically for over 20 years and
BHCO has been active in the area for more than five years. Pertamina has drilled
a total of 27 wells to date. CECI has a significant amount of data, which it
believes to be reliable as to the production capacity of the field. However, a
number of significant steps, both financial and operational, must be completed
before the Dieng Project can proceed further. These steps, none of which can be
assured, include obtaining required regulatory permits and approvals, completing
the well testing, entering into a construction agreement and other project
contracts, and arranging financing.
   
         Patuha. CECI is also developing a geothermal power plant with respect
to the Patuha geothermal field in Java, Indonesia (the "Patuha Project"). CECI
has entered into a joint venture (the "Patuha Joint Venture") for Patuha with
P.T. Enerindo Supra Abadi ("P.T. ESA"), an Indonesian company. P.T. ESA is an
affiliate of the Bukaka Group, which has extensive experience in general
construction, fabrication and electrical transmission construction in Indonesia.
In exchange for project development services, P.T. ESA will receive a 10% equity
interest in the Patuha Project with an option to acquire an additional 20%
interest for cash upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subject to the
exercise of that option, subsidiaries of CECI will have a 45% interest and
subsidiaries of PKS will have the option to take a 45% interest in the Patuha
Project.

         On December 2, 1994, the Patuha Joint Venture executed both a joint
operation contract and an energy sales contract, each of which currently
contains terms substantially similar to those described above for the Dieng
Project. The Patuha Joint Venture intends to proceed on a modular basis similar
to the Dieng Project, with an aggregate capacity of up to 400 MW. CECI estimates
that the total cost will be approximately $1 billion. CECI presently intends to
begin well testing and further exploration in the fourth quarter of 1995 with
construction of the first unit expected to begin by 1996.

         The Patuha Project remains subject to a number of significant
uncertainties, as described above in connection with the Dieng Project, and
there can be no assurance that the Patuha Project will proceed or reach
commercial operation.

         Bali. CECI and PT Panutan Group, an Indonesian consortium of energy,
oil, gas and mining companies, have formed a joint venture to pursue the
development of geothermal resources in Bali (the "Bali Project") and to obtain a
power sales contract from PLN.
    
         CECI presently intends to develop the Bali Project and other possible
projects in Indonesia using a structure similar to that contemplated for the
Dieng Project.

         The Bali Project remains subject to a number of significant
uncertainties, as described above for the Dieng Project, and there can be no
assurance that CECI will pursue the Bali Project or that it will proceed or
reach commercial operation.

                        DOMESTIC PROJECTS -- DISCUSSION

                                   [Picture]

PROJECTS IN OPERATION

         The Coso Project. In 1979, CECI entered into a 30-year contract (the
"Navy Contract") with the United States Department of the Navy (the "Navy") to
develop geothermal power facilities located on approximately 5,000 acres of the
Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake, California (150 miles northeast of Los
Angeles). In 1985, CECI entered into a 30-year lease (the "BLM Lease") with the
United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") for approximately 19,000 acres
of land adjacent to the land covered by the Navy Contract. The Navy Contract and
the BLM Lease provide for certain royalty payments as a percentage of gross
revenue and certain other formulas. CECI formed three joint ventures (the "Coso
Joint Ventures") with one primary joint venture partner, Caithness Corporation
("Caithness"), to develop and construct the three facilities which comprise the
Navy I project (the "Navy I Project"), the BLM project (the "BLM Project") and
the Navy II project (the "Navy II Project") (collectively the "Coso Project").

         The Coso Joint Ventures are as follows: (i) Coso Finance Partners,
which owns the Navy I Project (the "Navy I Partnership"), (ii) Coso Energy
Developers, which owns the BLM Project (the "BLM Partnership") and (iii) Coso
Power Developers, which owns the Navy II Project (the "Navy II Partnership" and,
together with the Navy I Partnership and the BLM Partnership, the "Coso
Partnerships"). CECI holds ownership interests of approximately 46% in the Navy
I Partnership; approximately 48% in the BLM Partnership, after payout to CECI
and Caithness; and 50% in the Navy II Partnership. CECI consolidates its
respective share of the operating results of the Coso Partnerships into its
financial statements. In addition, CECI indirectly holds rights to certain cash
flows from its partners in the BLM Project, and, to a lesser extent, the Navy I
Project and Navy II Project. Each of the Coso Joint Ventures is managed by a
management committee which consists of two representatives from CECI and two
representatives from CECI's partners. CECI operates the Coso Project, for which
it receives fees from the Coso Partnerships.

         The Coso Project sells all electricity generated by the respective
plants pursuant to three long-term SO4 Agreements between the Navy I
Partnership, the BLM Partnership, and the Navy II Partnership, respectively, and
SCE. These SO4 Agreements provide for capacity payments, capacity bonus payments
and energy payments. SCE makes fixed annual capacity payments to the Coso
Partnerships, and to the extent that capacity factors exceed certain benchmarks
is required to make capacity bonus payments. The price for capacity and capacity
bonus payments is fixed for the life of the SO4 Agreements. Energy is sold at
increasing fixed rates for the first ten years of each contract and thereafter
at SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy. The fixed price periods of the SO4 Agreements
extend until August 1997, March 1999 and January 2000 for each of the Navy I,
BLM and Navy II Partnerships, respectively, at rates ranging from 11.0(cent) per
kWh in 1994 to 14.6(cent) per kWh in 2000. CECI's share of the revenues received
by the Coso Partnerships for 1993 and the first nine months of 1994 was $92.9
million and $78.9 million, respectively.

         The physical facilities used for geothermal energy production are
substantially the same at the Navy I, BLM and Navy II Projects.

         The Navy I Project. The geothermal resource for the Navy I Project
currently is produced from approximately 32 wells. The Navy I Project consists
of three turbine generators, each with approximately 32 MW of electrical
generating capacity. The Navy I Project has an aggregate gross electrical
generating capacity of approximately 96 MW. Based on an assumed capacity of 80
MW, the Navy I Project operated at an average operating capacity factor of 99.8%
in 1992, 111.2% in 1993 and 114.6% in the first nine months of 1994.

                                                        97

         The BLM Project. The BLM Project's geothermal resource currently is
produced from approximately 20 wells. The BLM Project consists of three turbine
generators. Two of these turbine generators are located at the BLM East site in
a dual flash system, each with a nameplate capacity of 29 MW; and one is located
at the BLM West site in a single flash system, with a nameplate capacity of 29
MW. The BLM Project has an aggregate gross electrical generating capacity of
approximately 96 MW. Based on an assumed capacity of 80 MW, the BLM Project
operated at an average operating capacity factor of 87.2% in 1992, 98.1% in
1993, and 98.5% in the first nine months of 1994.

         The Navy II Project. The geothermal resource for the Navy II Project
currently is produced from approximately 25 wells. The Navy II Project consists
of three individual turbine generators, each with approximately 32 MW of
electrical generating capacity. The Navy II Project has an aggregate gross
electrical capacity of approximately 96 MW. Based on an assumed capacity of 80
MW, the Navy II Project operated at an average operating capacity factor of
98.1% in 1992, 102.6% in 1993, and 103.5% in the first nine months of 1994.

         In December 1992, the Coso Joint Ventures refinanced the existing bank
debt on the Coso Project with the proceeds of the sale of approximately $560
million in non-recourse senior secured notes (the "Notes") in a private
placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued
by Coso Funding Corp. ("Coso Funding"), a corporation owned by the Coso Joint
Ventures and formed exclusively for the purpose of issuing the Notes. Coso
Funding lent the Coso Joint Ventures substantially all of the net proceeds of
the sale of the Notes. At the time of their issuance, the Notes were rated
"Baa3" by Moody's, "BBB-" by S&P and "BBB" by Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.,
all investment grade ratings. The outstanding balance of the Notes on September
30, 1994 was $483.5 million with a remaining average life of 3.5 years, and the
average interest rate on the Notes for the nine months ending on the same date
was 8.07%. The obligations of each Coso Partnership under the loans from Coso
Funding are non-recourse to CECI. Coso Funding may look solely to each Coso
Partnership's pledged assets for satisfaction of such Coso Partnership's loan.
In addition, the loans are cross-collateralized by certain support loans only to
the extent of the other Coso Joint Ventures' available cash flow and, under
certain circumstances, the debt service reserve funds, and not as to other
assets.

         Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area Projects. Magma acquired
three geothermal power plants which comprise the Salton Sea I project (the
"Salton Sea I Project"), the Salton Sea II project (the "Salton Sea II Project")
and the Salton Sea III project (the "Salton Sea III Project") (collectively, the
"Salton Sea Projects") and all related wellfield, land and other related assets
in March 1993 from Union Oil Company of California. Each of the Vulcan, Hoch
(Del Ranch), Elmore and Leathers projects (the "Vulcan Project," the "Hoch (Del
Ranch) Project," the "Elmore Project" and the "Leathers Project," respectively,
and collectively, the "Partnership Projects") is owned by an equal partnership
(the "Vulcan Partnership," the "Del Ranch Partnership," the "Elmore Partnership"
and the "Leathers Partnership," respectively, and collectively, the
"Partnerships") between Magma and a subsidiary of Mission Energy, a wholly owned
subsidiary of SCE. In the case of the Vulcan Project, the Vulcan Partnership
owns certain geothermal resources supplying the Vulcan Project plant. In the
case of the other three Partnership Project plants, Magma owns the geothermal
resources and receives royalty payments from the Del Ranch, Elmore and Leathers
Partnerships. In the first nine months of 1994, such royalties together with
royalties from the East Mesa Plant and Mammoth Plants (as defined below) totaled
$15.1 million. Magma's share of the aggregate electricity revenues received by
the Salton Sea Projects and the Partnerships for the first nine months of 1994
was $124.1 million. In each case, a subsidiary of Magma is the managing general
partner, and Magma consolidates one-half of the operating results of each
Partnership Project plant into its financial statements. A subsidiary of Magma
operates each of the Salton Sea Project plants and the Partnership Project
plants.


                                                        98

         The Salton Sea Projects operated at a combined contract nameplate
capacity factor (excluding scheduled maintenance hours) of 94.1% in the nine
months ended December 31, 1993 and 90.8% in the first nine months of 1994. The
Partnership Projects operated at a combined contract nameplate factor of 100.7%
in 1993 and 105.0% in the first nine months in 1994.

         Vulcan. The Vulcan Project sells electricity to SCE under a 30-year SO4
Agreement that commenced on February 10, 1986. The Vulcan Project has a contract
capacity and contract nameplate of 29.5 MW and 34 MW, respectively. Under the
SO4 Agreement, SCE is obligated to pay the Vulcan Project a capacity payment, a
capacity bonus payment and an energy payment.

         The price for contract capacity payments is fixed for the life of such
SO4 Agreement. The as-available capacity price is based on a payment schedule as
approved by the CPUC from time to time. The contract energy payment increases
each year for the first ten years, which period expires on February 9, 1996.
Thereafter, the energy payments will be based on SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy.
The energy payment per kWh is 10.9(cent) for 1994, 11.8(cent) for 1995 and
12.6(cent) for 1996. The Vulcan Project is unleveraged.

         Hoch (Del Ranch). The Hoch (Del Ranch) Project sells electricity to SCE
under a 30-year SO4 Agreement that commenced on January 1, 1989. The contract
capacity and contract nameplate are 34 MW and 38 MW, respectively. The
provisions of such SO4 Agreement are substantially the same as the SO4 Agreement
with respect to the Vulcan Project.

         The price for contract capacity payment is fixed for the life of the
SO4 Agreement. The energy payments per kWh for the first ten-year period, which
expires on December 31, 1998, are fixed at rates ranging from 10.9(cent) for
1994 to 14.6(cent) for 1998. Thereafter, the energy payments will be based on
SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy.
    
         The Del Ranch Partnership entered into a $66 million secured credit
facility with commercial banks in March 1988. The final maturity date of the
term loans is September 15, 2001. The secured credit agreement was amended to
allow for the issuance of commercial paper and medium-term notes supported by a
letter of credit as an alternative to borrowing directly from the banks.
   
         Elmore. The Elmore Project sells electricity to SCE under a 30-year SO4
Agreement that commenced on January 1, 1989. The contract capacity and contract
nameplate are 34 MW and 38 MW, respectively. The provisions of such SO4
Agreement are substantially the same as the SO4 Agreement with respect to the
Vulcan Project.

         The price for contract capacity payments is fixed for the life of the
SO4 Agreement. The energy payments per kWh for the first ten-year period, which
expires on December 31, 1998, are fixed at rates ranging from 10.9(cent) in 1994
to 14.6(cent) in 1998. Thereafter, the energy payments will be based on SCE's
Avoided Cost of Energy.

         The Elmore Partnership entered into a $66 million secured credit
facility with commercial banks in March 1988. The final maturity date of the
term loans is September 15, 2001. The secured credit agreement was amended and
restated on April 18, 1990 to allow for the issuance of commercial paper and
medium-term notes supported by a letter of credit as an alternative to borrowing
directly from the banks.

         Leathers. The Leathers Project sells electricity to SCE pursuant to a
30-year SO4 Agreement that commenced on January 1, 1990. The contract capacity
and contract nameplate are 34 MW and 38 MW, respectively. The provisions of such
SO4 Agreement are substantially the same as the SO4 Agreement with respect to
the Vulcan Project.

                                                        99




     
<PAGE>







         The price for contract capacity payments is fixed for the life of the
SO4 Agreement. The energy payments per kWh for the first ten-year period, which
expires on December 31, 1999, are fixed at rates ranging from 10.9(cent) in 1994
to 15.6(cent) in 1999. Thereafter, the energy payments are based on SCE's
Avoided Cost of Energy.

         The Leathers Partnership entered into an $82 million secured credit
facility with commercial banks in March 1988. The final maturity date of the
term loans is September 15, 2002. The secured credit agreement was amended to
allow for the issuance of commercial paper and medium-term notes supported by a
letter of credit as an alternative to borrowing directly from the banks.

         Salton Sea I Project. The Salton Sea I Project sells electricity to SCE
pursuant to a 30-year negotiated power purchase agreement, as amended (the
"Salton Sea I PPA"), which provides for capacity and energy payments. The
initial contract capacity and contract nameplate are each 10 MW. The Salton Sea
I Project may add subsequent increments of contract capacity (subject to
notification requirements) the sum of which may not exceed 20 MW (the "Salton
Sea I Project Expansion"). See "--Projects in Development - Fish Lake/Salton Sea
I Expansion."

         The capacity payment is based on the firm capacity price which is
currently $123.61/kW-year. The contract capacity payment adjusts quarterly based
on a basket of energy indices for the term of the Salton Sea I PPA. The energy
payment is calculated using a Base Price (defined as the initial value of the
energy payment (4.701(cent) per kWh for the second quarter of 1992)), which is
subject to quarterly adjustments based on a basket of indices. The time period
weighted average energy payment for Unit 1 was 4.8(cent) per kWh during 1993. As
the Salton Sea I PPA is not an SO4 Agreement, the energy payments do not revert
to SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy.

         Salton Sea II Project. The Salton Sea II Project sells electricity to
SCE pursuant to a 30-year modified SO4 Agreement that commenced on April 15,
1990. The contract capacity and contract nameplate are 15 MW and 18 MW,
respectively. The contract requires SCE to make capacity payments, capacity
bonus payments and energy payments. The price for contract capacity and contract
capacity bonus payments is fixed for the life of the modified SO4 Agreement. The
energy payments for the first ten-year period, which period expires on April 4,
2000, are levelized at a time period weighted average of 10.6(cent) per kWh.
Thereafter, the monthly energy payments will be SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy.
For the period April 1, 1994 through March 31, 2004, SCE is entitled to receive,
at no cost, 5% of all energy delivered in excess of 80% of contract capacity.

         Salton Sea III Project. The Salton Sea III Project sells electricity to
SCE pursuant to a 30-year modified SO4 Agreement. The contract capacity is 47.5
MW and the contract nameplate is 50 MW. The SO4 Agreement requires SCE to make
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments and energy payments for the life of
the SO4 Agreement. The price for contract capacity payments is fixed. The energy
payments for the first ten-year period, which period expires on February 13,
1999, are levelized at a time period weighted average of 9.8(cent) per kWh.
Thereafter, the monthly energy payments will be SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy.

         The partnerships that own the Salton Sea Projects (the "Salton Sea
Partnerships") are parties to a secured credit facility with commercial banks.
The agreement provides for a $130 million term loan broken into two tranches,
(i) tranche A (covers Units 1 and 2) in the original principal amount of $37
million with a final maturity date of March 15, 2000 and (ii) tranche B (covers
Unit 3) in the original principal amount of $93 million with a final maturity
date of January 31, 1999. In addition, the agreement provides for a renewable
working capital loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5 million with an
initial maturity date of February 27, 1995.

         Yuma. During 1992, CECI acquired a development stage 50 MW natural
gas-fired cogeneration project in Yuma, Arizona (the "Yuma Project"). The Yuma
Project is designed to be a QF under PURPA and to provide 50 MW of electricity
to San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E") under an existing 30-year power
purchase contract. The electricity is sold at SDG&E's Avoided Cost of Energy.
The power is wheeled to SDG&E over transmission lines constructed and owned by
Arizona Public Service Company ("APS"). An agreement for interconnection and a
firm transmission service agreement have been executed between APS and the Yuma
Project entity and have been accepted for filing by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission ("FERC").

         The Yuma Project commenced commercial operation in May 1994. The
project entity has executed steam sales contracts with an adjacent industrial
entity to act as its thermal host in order to maintain its status as a QF, which
is a requirement of its SDG&E contract. Since the industrial entity has the
right under its contract to terminate the agreement upon one year's notice if a
change in its technology eliminates its need for steam, and in any case to
terminate the agreement at any time upon three years notice, there can be no
assurance that the Yuma Project will maintain its status as a QF. However, if
the industrial entity terminates the agreement, CECI anticipates that it will be
able to locate an alternative thermal host in order to maintain its status as a
QF or build a greenhouse at the site for which CECI believes it would obtain QF
status. A natural gas supply and transportation agreement has been executed with
Southwest Gas Corporation terminable under certain circumstances by CECI and
Southwest Gas Corporation. The Yuma Project is unleveraged other than
intercompany debt.

         Roosevelt Hot Springs. CECI operates and owns an approximately 70%
interest in a 25 MW geothermal steam field which supplies geothermal steam to a
power plant owned by Utah Power & Light Company ("UP&L") located on the
Roosevelt Hot Springs property under a 30-year steam sales contract. CECI
obtained approximately $20.3 million of cash under a pre-sale agreement with
UP&L whereby UP&L paid in advance for the steam produced by the steam field.
CECI must make certain penalty payments to UP&L if the steam produced does not
meet certain quantity and quality requirements.

         Desert Peak. CECI is the owner and operator of a 10 MW geothermal plant
at Desert Peak, Nevada that is currently selling electricity to Sierra Pacific
Power Company under a power sales contract that expires December 31, 1995 and
that may be extended on a year-to-year basis as agreed by the parties. The price
for electricity under this contract is 6.3(cent) per kWh, comprising an energy
payment of 1.8(cent) per kWh (which is adjustable pursuant to an inflation-based
index) and a capacity payment of 4.5(cent) per kWh. CECI is currently
negotiating the terms of an extension to this contract.

         Mammoth Plants. Magma receives royalty revenues from a 10 MW and a 12
MW contract nameplate geothermal power plant (the "First Mammoth Plant" and the
"Second Mammoth Plant", respectively, and referred to herein, collectively, as
the "Mammoth Plants") at Mammoth Lakes, California. Electricity from the Mammoth
Plants is sold to SCE under two long-term power purchase agreements. The First
Mammoth Plant and the Second Mammoth Plant began commercial operation in 1985
and 1991, respectively. Magma leases both property and geothermal resources to
support the Mammoth Plants in return for certain base royalty and bonus royalty
payments. For the First Mammoth Plant and the Second Mammoth Plant, the base
royalty is 12.5% and 12%, respectively, of gross electricity sales revenues. The
bonus royalty for the Mammoth Plants is 50% of the excess of annual gross
electricity sales revenues over an annual revenue standard based on the Mammoth
Plants operating at 85% of contract capacity.

         The East Mesa Plant. Magma also receives royalty revenues from a 37 MW
contract nameplate geothermal power plant (with two units) at East Mesa in
Imperial Valley, California (the "East Mesa Plant"). Electricity from the plant
is sold to SCE pursuant to two SO4 Agreements formerly held by Magma, and Magma

                                                        101

is entitled to receive a senior payment of 4% of gross electricity sales
revenues and a junior payment of 10% of gross electricity sales revenues. To
date, such junior payment has not been received. Since 1992, Magma recognized
the accrued junior payments as royalty income.

PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT

         The BRPU Process. Magma is seeking new long-term final standard offer
no. 4 power purchase agreements in southern California through the bidding
process adopted by the CPUC under its 1992 Biennial Resource Plan Update
("BRPU"). In its 1992 BRPU, the CPUC cited the need for an additional 9,600 MW
of power production through 1999 among California's three investor-owned
utilities, SCE, SDG&E and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (collectively, the
"IOUs"). Of this amount, 275 MW was set aside for bidding by independent power
producers (such as Magma) utilizing renewable resources. Pursuant to an order of
the CPUC dated June 22, 1994 (confirmed on December 21, 1994), Magma was awarded
163 MW for sale to SCE and SDG&E, with in-service dates in 1997 and 1998.
However, the IOUs may continue to challenge the order and there can be no
assurance that power sales contracts will be executed or that any such projects
will be completed.

         Fish Lake/Salton Sea I Expansion. The Salton Sea I Project has an
option to supply an additional 20 MW of power to SCE under the Salton Sea I PPA.
Magma, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fish Lake Power Company, acquired in
1992 a modified ISO4 power purchase agreement (the "Fish Lake ISO4") to supply
electric power to SCE from a 16 MW geothermal power plant proposed to be built
at Fish Lake in Esmeralda County, Nevada (the "Fish Lake Project").

         The Fish Lake ISO4 is a 30-year contract providing for a contract
capacity of 14 MW and a contract nameplate of 16 MW. The contract capacity
payment under the Fish Lake ISO4 is levelized in the contract for the full
30-year term of the contract at $180 per kilowatt year. The capacity portion
(plus bonus capacity) of such revenues is levelized at approximately 2.5(cent)
per kWh for 30 years (assuming a 90% nameplate capacity factor). The energy
payment thereunder is fixed for the first ten years starting at 10.2(cent) per
kWh in 1996 and escalates at an average annual rate of 3.9%. For years 11
through 15, such energy payment is set at SCE's Avoided Cost of Energy, plus an
additional specified amount which decreases each year. For the last 15 years of
the Fish Lake ISO4, the energy payment will be based on SCE's Avoided Cost of
Energy.

         On November 29, 1994, SCE filed an application with the CPUC seeking
approval for the proposed restructuring of (i) the Salton Sea I PPA and (ii) the
Fish Lake ISO4, whereby the Fish Lake Project would not be developed at its
present site in Nevada's Fish Lake Valley and instead would be developed under
an amended and restated 30-year power purchase agreement (the "Amended PPA") in
conjunction with the Salton Sea I PPA.

         If approved, the Amended PPA will consolidate the Salton Sea I Project
Expansion with the Fish Lake Project. The Amended PPA also would reduce the
price for contract capacity payments to $158/kW-year and would alter the energy
payment schedule to commence in 1996 at 8.8(cent) per kWh.

         Newberry. Under a Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") geothermal
pilot program, CECI is developing a 30 MW net geothermal project within the
Newberry known geothermal resource area of Deschutes County, Oregon (the
"Newberry Project"). Pursuant to two power sales contracts executed in September
1994, after the final environmental impact statement for the Newberry Project
was issued, CECI has agreed to sell 20 MW to BPA and 10 MW to Eugene Water and
Electric Board ("EWEB") from the Newberry Project. In addition, BPA and EWEB
together have an option to purchase up to an additional 100 MW of production
from the Newberry Project under certain circumstances. In a public-private
development effort, CECI is responsible for development, permitting, financing,
construction and operation of the project (which will be 100% owned by CECI),
while EWEB will cooperate in the development efforts by providing assistance
with government and

                                                        102




     
<PAGE>






community affairs and sharing in the development costs (up to 30%). The Newberry
Project is currently expected to commence commercial operation in 1997. The
power sales contracts provide that under certain circumstances the contracts may
be utilized at an alternative location. Completion of the Newberry Project is
subject to a number of significant uncertainties and cannot be assured.
    
                      REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         Environmental Regulation. The projects of CECI and Magma are subject to
environmental laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels in
connection with the development, ownership and operation of the projects. These
environmental laws and regulations generally require that a wide variety of
permits and other approvals be obtained for the construction and operation of an
energy-producing facility and that the facility then operate in compliance with
such permits and approvals. Failure to operate the facility in compliance with
applicable laws, permits and approvals can result in the levy of fines or
curtailment of operations by regulatory agencies.

         Management of the Coso Joint Ventures believes that the Coso Joint
Ventures are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
environmental regulatory requirements and that maintaining compliance with
current governmental requirements will not require a material increase in
capital expenditures or materially affect its financial condition or results of
operations. Likewise, management of each of CECI and Magma believes that the
other projects of CECI and Magma are in compliance with all applicable
environmental regulatory requirements. It is possible, however, that future
developments, such as more stringent requirements of environmental laws and
enforcement policies thereunder, could affect the costs of and the manner in
which the Coso Joint Ventures or the other projects of CECI and Magma conduct
their businesses.

         Federal Energy Regulations. The principal federal regulatory
legislation relating to CECI's geothermal energy activities is PURPA. PURPA and
associated state legislation have conferred certain benefits on the independent
power production industry. In particular, PURPA exempts certain electricity
producers ("Qualifying Facilities") from federal and state regulation as a
public utility. PURPA also requires utilities, such as SCE, to purchase
electricity from qualifying facilities at the particular utility's avoided cost.

         Each of CECI's domestic projects meets the requirements promulgated
under PURPA to be Qualifying Facilities. Qualifying Facility status under PURPA
provides two primary benefits. First, regulations under PURPA exempt qualifying
facilities from the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 ("PUHCA"), most
provisions of the Federal Power Act (the "FPA") and state laws concerning rates
of electric utilities, and financial and organizational regulations of electric
utilities. Second, FERC's regulations promulgated under PURPA require that (1)
electric utilities purchase electricity generated by Qualifying Facilities, the
construction of which commenced on or after November 9, 1978, at a price based
on the purchasing utility's full avoided cost; (2) the electric utility sell
back-up, interruptable, maintenance and supplemental power to the Qualifying
Facility on a non-discriminatory basis; and (3) the electric utility
interconnect with the Qualifying Facility in its service territory.

         CECI's projects remain subject, among other things, to FERC approvals
and permits for power development, and to federal, state and local laws and
regulations regarding environmental compliance, leasing, siting, licensing,
construction, and operational and other matters relating to the exploration,
development and operation of its geothermal properties.

         In 1992, Congress enacted comprehensive new energy policy legislation
in its passage of the Energy Policy Act. This new law is designed to, among
other things, foster competition in energy production and provide independent
power producers with competitive access to the transmission grid. To achieve
these goals, the

                                                        103




     
<PAGE>






Energy Policy Act amended PUHCA to create a new class of generating facility
called Exempt Wholesale Generators ("EWGs"). EWGs are generally exempt from
public utility regulation under PUHCA. The Energy Policy Act also provides new
authority to FERC to mandate that owners of transmission lines provide wheeling
access at just and reasonable rates. Previously limited, wheeling rights enhance
the ability of independent power producers to negotiate transmission access and
encourages development of facilities whose most feasible siting lies outside the
purchasing utility's service area or which, like many geothermal sites, are
remotely located.

         Permits and Approvals. CECI has obtained certain permits, approvals and
certificates necessary for the current exploration, development and operation of
its projects. Similar permits, approvals and certificates will be required for
any future expansion of the Coso Project and for any development of CECI's other
geothermal properties or for other power project development by CECI. Such
compliance is costly and time consuming, and may in certain instances be
dependent upon factors beyond CECI's control.

         CECI believes that its operating power facilities are currently in
material compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations. No assurance can be given, however, that in the future all
necessary permits, approvals, variances and certificates will be obtained and
all applicable statutes and regulations will be complied with, nor can assurance
be given that additional and more stringent laws, taxes or regulations will not
be established in the future which may restrict CECI's current operations or
delay the development of new geothermal properties, or which may otherwise have
an adverse impact on CECI.

                                   EMPLOYEES

      As of December 31, 1993, CECI employed approximately 249 people, of
which approximately 160 people were employed at the Navy I, Navy II and BLM
Projects, collectively. The Coso Joint Ventures do not hire or retain any
employees. All employees necessary to the operation of the Coso Project are
provided by CECI under certain plant and field operations and maintenance
agreements.

         As of February 28, 1994, Magma employed 340 persons on a regular,
full-time basis, 31 at Magma's headquarters in San Diego, California, and 309 at
MOC in California's Imperial Valley.
   
         EACH OF CECI AND MAGMA BELIEVES IT HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS
EMPLOYEES.
    
                                   PROPERTIES

         CECI's most significant physical properties are its four operating
power facilities and its related real property interests. CECI also maintains an
inventory of more than 400,000 acres of geothermal property leases and owns a
70% interest in a geothermal steam field. An affiliate of CECI owns the
approximately 42 acre site in Yuma, Arizona where the 50 MW gas fired
cogeneration facility is being constructed.

         CECI owns a one-story office building in Omaha, Nebraska, which houses
it principal executive offices. CECI also leases office space in Ridgecrest,
California, which houses the operating offices for the Coso Project and in
Singapore and Manila, which house offices for CECI's international activities in
the region.

         Magma holds geothermal leasehold and fee interests covering
approximately 198,208 acres on a gross acreage basis, after giving effect to the
1993 Unocal Acquisition and the 1993 Freeport McMoRan Acquisition. See "Business
of Magma." Such amount includes approximately 21,034 acres of developed (i.e.,
actively utilized in the production of geothermal energy) leasehold and fee
interests, and approximately 178,174 acres of undeveloped (i.e., non-producing)
geothermal leasehold and fee interests. Certain of the producing acreage is
owned by Magma and is leased to Mammoth-Pacific as owner and operator of the
Mammoth Plants, and Magma,

                                                        104

as lessor, receives royalties from the revenues earned by such power plants. See
"Business of Magma--Royalty Plants". The remainder of Magma's producing
geothermal acreage is located in the SSKGRA and is utilized in the production of
geothermal power at the SSKGRA Plants. Magma, as lessee, pays certain royalties
and other fees to the property owners from the revenue generated by the SSKGRA
Plants.

         Terms of Geothermal Leases. Lessors are generally paid a monthly or
annual rental payment during the term of the lease unless and until the acreage
goes into production, in which case the rental typically stops and the
(generally higher) royalty payments begin. Leases of federal property, such as
those at Fish Lake, Nevada are transacted with the Department of Interior,
Bureau of Land Management, pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"), and are for a primary
term of 10 years, extendible for an additional five years if drilling is
commenced within the primary term and is diligently pursued for two successive
five-year periods upon certain conditions set forth in the Regulations. A
secondary term of up to 40 years is available so long as geothermal resources
from the property are being produced or used in commercial quantities. Leases of
federal lands provide for a modest yearly rental based on the acreage covered by
the lease, a requirement of diligent exploration, a royalty of not less than 10%
nor more than 15% of the value of geothermal resources sold or utilized and a
royalty of up to 5% of the value of byproducts derived from the production of
geothermal resources, and certain other obligations of the lessee as provided in
the Regulations. Leases of state lands may vary in form. California, lease
provisions and royalty amounts are determined from time to time by the State
Lands Commission. Leases of private lands vary considerably, since their terms
and provisions are the product of negotiations with the landowners. Generally,
the private leases held by Magma provide for a primary term of five to 10 years,
which is extendible for an additional period of time if certain conditions (such
as the drilling of a well) have been satisfied.

         Development Royalties and Payments. In connection with the development
of any new geothermal power plants at the SSKGRA, Magma is obligated to pay
royalties and/or one-time lump-sum payments to certain third parties.

         Headquarters. Magma's executive and administrative offices are
currently located in San Diego, California. A total of approximately 19,000
square feet are leased in a modern office building. Magma also has a right of
first negotiation on an additional 19,000 square feet in the same building. The
lease expires in 2002.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Neither CECI nor Magma is a party to any material legal proceedings.

             CECI MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         For purposes of consistency in financial presentation, dollars and
shares are stated in thousands except per share data and the Plants comprising
the Coso Project (including the Navy I, Navy II and BLM Plants) capacity factors
are based upon a capacity amount of 88 gross MW ("GMW"), 80 net MW ("NMW") for
each plant. The Navy I and Navy II Plants each consist of a set of three
turbines located at a plant site. The BLM Plant consists of two turbines at one
site ("BLM East") and one turbine at another site ("BLM West"). In April 1990,
CECI completed a retrofit of the two turbines at BLM East and in July 1990
completed associated retrofitting of the cooling towers to increase the
aggregate installed capacity of the BLM Plant to 88 GMW/80 NMW, effective July
2, 1990. Each plant possesses an operating margin which periodically allows for
production in excess of the amount listed above. However, through 1990, the Navy
I, Navy II and BLM Plant capacity amounts were restricted by the then existing
PURPA 80 NMW cap. With the lifting of the PURPA 80 NMW cap in 1991, utilization
of this operating margin can, at times, produce plant capacity factors in excess
of 100%. Utilization of this operating margin is based upon a variety of factors
and can be expected to vary throughout the year under normal operating
conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

         Sales of electricity and steam increased to $49,498 in the third
quarter of 1994 from $41,433 in the third quarter of 1993, a 19.5% increase.
This improvement was primarily due to an increase in the Coso Project's electric
kilowatt hour sales to 580.4 million kWh from 578.2 million kWh and an increased
price per kWh in accordance with the S04 Agreements. The remaining increases are
a result of the Yuma project commencing operations in late May of 1994. For the
nine months ended September 30, sales of electricity and steam increased to
$117,208 in 1994 from $101,046 in 1993, a 16.0% increase. Similarly, the
increase was due to an increase in the Coso Project's electric kilowatt hour
sales to 1,659.4 million kWh from 1,610.4 million kWh, the aforementioned
increased price per kWh, and the commencement of the Yuma project.

         The following operating data represent the aggregate installed capacity
and electricity production of the Coso Project:

         The Navy I plant installed capacity factor was 115.5% in the third
quarter of 1994 compared to 115.1% in the third quarter of 1993. For the nine
months ended September 30, the Navy I plant installed capacity factor was 114.6%
in 1994 compared to 109.0% for the same period in 1993. Several successful well
workovers and the addition of a new well contributed to the improved
performance. The Navy II plant installed capacity factor was 113.2% in the third
quarter of 1994 compared to 106.3% in the third quarter of 1993. For the nine
months ended September 30, the Navy II plant installed capacity factor was
103.5% in 1994 compared to 100.4% for the same period in 1993. Navy II output
benefitted from gathering system improvements completed in June of 1993. The BLM
plant installed capacity factor was 99.8% in the third quarter of 1994 compared
to 106.0% in the third quarter of 1993. For the nine months ended September 30,
the BLM plant installed capacity factor was 98.5% in 1994 compared to 97.8% for
the same period in 1993.

         As a result of the successful performance of the BLM H2S abatement
system, which was installed in 1992, the Navy I and Navy II Joint Ventures
obtained authority to construct ("ATC") permits for the installation of similar
H2S abatement systems in an effort to enhance operational efficiency and improve
long term reservoir management. Such abatement systems are expected to have an
aggregate Coso Project capital cost of approximately $11,948, $10,845 of which
has been incurred through September 30, 1994. Completion of construction and
testing of the Navy I and Navy II abatement systems is currently expected to
occur by year end of 1994. In conjunction with the ATC, the Great Basin Unified
Air Pollution Control District agreed to provide an eighteen month variance to
Navy I which allows venting of a portion of Navy I's non-condensable gas while
the abatement system is constructed and tested.

         The Coso Project's average electricity prices per kWh in 1994, 1993,
and 1992, were comprised of (in cents):

         The Yuma plant commenced commercial operation in late May pursuant to
its power purchase agreement and operated at 99.6% of its 50 net MW plant
capacity in the third quarter of 1994.

         Roosevelt Hot Springs steam field supplied 100% of customer power plant
steam requirements in the third quarter and for the nine months ended September
30, 1994. CECI has an approximate 70% interest in the Roosevelt Hot Springs
field.

         The Desert Peak power plant operated at 101.1% of its nine net megawatt
capacity in the third quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30,
1994, the Desert Peak plant capacity factor was 105.5%.

         Interest and other income increased in the third quarter of 1994 to
$9,026 from $4,824 for the same period in 1993. For the nine months ended
September 30, interest and other income increased to $21,980 in 1994 from
$12,294 for the same period in 1993. The increase primarily reflects interest
income on higher average cash balances from the issuance of the Senior Discount
Notes.

         CECI's expenses as a percentage of sales of electricity and steam were

         Plant operations increased to $9,846 in the third quarter of 1994 from
$5,878 in the third quarter of 1993, a 67.5% increase. For the nine months ended
September 30, plant operations increased to $23,887 in 1994 from $18,898 in
1993, a 26.4% increase. While plant operating cost at Coso actually declined,
the above increases were due to the inclusion of the plant operating costs of
the Yuma cogeneration plant which started operations in May 1994.

         General and administration costs increased to $3,216 in the third
quarter of 1994 from $2,359 in the third quarter of 1993, a 36.3% increase. For
the nine months ended September 30, general and administration costs increased
to $9,536 in 1994 from $8,596 in 1993, a 10.9% increase. The increases are a
result of the increased project construction activity associated with two
projects aggregating 300 MW in the Philippines, as well as increased project
development activity associated with overseas efforts.

         Royalty costs increased to $3,504 in the third quarter of 1994 from
$3,004 in the third quarter of 1993, a 16.6% increase. For the nine months ended
September 30, royalties increased to $7,898 in 1994 from $6,525 in 1993, a 21.0%
increase. The increases were due to the increase in sales of electricity and an
increase in the effective royalty rate at BLM.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $5,639 in the third quarter of 1994
from $4,344 in the third quarter of 1993, a 29.8% increase. For the nine months
ended September 30, depreciation and amortization increased to $15,439 in 1994
from $13,044 in 1993, an 18.4% increase. The increase was due primarily to
capital expenditures at the Coso Project and the depreciation of the Yuma plant.

         Interest expense before amounts capitalized increased to $17,653 in the
third quarter of 1994 from $8,184 in the third quarter of 1993, a 115.7%
increase. For the nine months ended September 30, interest expense increased to
$44,480 in 1994 from $20,993 in 1993, a 111.9% increase. The increase was
primarily due to the original issue discount amortization expense on the Senior
Discount Notes issued in March 1994 and interest expense on the Convertible
Subordinated Debentures which were issued in June 1993, offset in part by the
defeasance of the Senior Notes in March 1994.

         The provision for income taxes decreased to $6,340 in the third quarter
of 1994 from $7,493 in the third quarter of 1993, a 15.4% decrease. For the nine
months ended September 30, the provision for income taxes decreased to $14,067
in 1994 from $14,295 in 1993, a 1.6% decrease. The decreases are due to a lower
income before tax attributable to higher interest costs as previously discussed.

         CECI's effective tax rate continues to be less than the expected
statutory tax rate primarily due to the percentage depletion deduction and
energy tax credits generated in the current year.

         Income before extraordinary item and the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle decreased to $14,413 in the third quarter of 1994 from
$16,677 in the third quarter of 1993, a 13.6% decrease. Net income attributable
to common shares in the third quarter of 1994 decreased to $13,138 or 38 cents
per share from $15,498 or 41 cents per share in the third quarter of 1993, a
15.2% decrease. Net income excluding the effect of the Senior Discount Notes was
approximately $16,487 or 47 cents per share for the third quarter of 1994. For
the nine months ended September 30, income before extraordinary item and the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle decreased to $31,399 or 77
cents per share from $34,811 or 81 cents per share, a 9.8% decrease. Net income
attributable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30 decreased
to $25,681 or 71 cents per share from $35,482 or 92 cents per share, a 27.6%
decrease. Net income excluding the effect of the Senior Discount Notes was
approximately $34,602 or 95 cents per share for the nine months ended September
30, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992, AND 1991

         Sales of electricity and steam increased to $132,059 in the year ended
December 31, 1993 from $117,342 in the year ended December 31, 1992, a 12.5%
increase. This improvement was primarily due to a 9.1% increase in the Coso
Project's electric kWh sales to 2,186.7 million kWh from 2,004.0 million kWh,
and an increased price per kWh in accordance with the SO4 Agreements. The
increase in Coso Project kWh sales was primarily due to the completion of new
production wells. The increase in sales of electricity and steam in 1992 to
$117,342 from $106,184 in 1991 was primarily due to increasing kWh sales by 6.0%
to 2,004.0 million kWh from 1,890.4 million kWh, largely as a result of the
drilling of additional production wells, and the aforementioned increase in
price per kWh pursuant to the SO4 Agreements.

</TABLE>

         The overall Coso plant capacity factor was 108.8% in the fourth quarter
of 1993 compared to 109.1%, 100.9% and 97.1% for the third, second and first
quarters of 1993, respectively. The Navy I Plant capacity factor was 111.2% in
1993, compared to 99.8% and 98.5% in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The Navy II
Plant capacity factor was 102.6% in 1993, compared to 98.1% and 99.9% in 1992
and 1991, respectively. The BLM Plant capacity factor was 98.1% in 1993,
compared to 87.2% and 71.4% in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The BLM Plant, Navy
I Plant and the Navy II Plant were overhauled in conjunction with scheduled
warranty inspections in 1993, 1992 and 1991 respectively, resulting in a
temporary reduction of the plant capacity factor of 3% in the specified year.

         Electric sale price per kWh for the Coso Project varies seasonally in
accordance with the rate schedule included in the SO4 Agreements. The price
consists of an energy payment based on the annualized contracted rate of 10.11
cents per kWh in 1993, 9.23 cents per kWh in 1992, and 8.58 cents per kWh in
1991, and constant annual capacity payments, of which CECI's share was $5,400 to
$5,800 per annum for each of the three power plants. Capacity payments are
significantly higher in the months of June through September. Bonus payments are
received monthly, of which CECI's share was approximately $1,000 per annum for
each of the three power plants.

         The Coso Project's average electricity prices per kWh in 1993, 1992 and
1991 were comprised of (in

         The Desert Peak and Roosevelt Hot Springs facilities ran at or near
capacity levels for each of the past three years.

         Steam sales from the Roosevelt Hot Springs field, which was acquired in
January 1991, remained relatively unchanged at $2,198, $2,255, and $2,077 in
1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. Electricity sales from Desert Peak were
$5,177, $5,347 and $3,976 for the years 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
Desert Peak was acquired in March 1991 and, accordingly, reflects only nine
months sales in 1991.

         Interest and other income increased in 1993 to $17,194 from $10,187 in
1992 and from $9,379 in 1991. The increase reflects higher average cash
balances, interest income on notes receivable from the Coso Joint Ventures

         CECI's expenses, excluding interest, increased as a general result of
the greater electricity production of the Coso Project. However, in 1993, plant
operations and general and administration costs per kWh decreased from 1992. In
1992, CECI's total expenses, excluding interest, were proportionally less than
the increase in electricity production of the Coso Project.

         The cost of plant operations increased to $25,362 in 1993 from $24,440
in 1992, an increase of 3.8%. The cost of plant operations increased to $24,440
in 1992 from $23,525 in 1991, an increase of 3.9%.  General and administration
costs remained relatively unchanged at $13,158 in 1993 compared to $13,033 in
1992.  General and administration costs increased to $13,033 in 1992 from
$12,476 in 1991, a 4.5% increase.  However, for 1993 and 1992 both plant
operations and general and administration costs per kWh continued to decrease
due to a proportionally greater increase in electrical production than plant
operations and general administration costs.  Plant cost per kWh decreased to
1.64 cents in 1993 from 1.65 cents in 1992 and 1.77 cents in 1991.  General and
administration cost per kWh decreased to 1.03 cents in 1993 from 1.04 cents in
1992 and 1.11 cents in 1991.

         Royalty costs increased to $8,274 in 1993 from $7,710 in 1992, an
increase of 7.3%. Royalty costs increased to $7,710 in 1992 from $5,505 in 1991,
an increase of 40.1%, due to higher electrical sales and a contractually
scheduled increase in the 1992 royalty rate for the second and third turbines of
the Navy I Plant. Overall, the royalty cost per kWh increased to 0.65 cents in
1993 from 0.61 cents in 1992 and 0.49 cents in 1991.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $17,812 in 1993 from
$16,754 and $14,752 in 1992 and 1991, respectively, a 6.3% increase from 1992 to
1993, and a 13.6% increase from 1991 to 1992. Depreciation and amortization
expense for 1993 was 1.39 cents per kWh compared to 1.33 cents in 1992 and 1.31
cents per kWh in 1991. The increase in 1993 was due to additional capitalized
costs associated with the settlement of litigation involving Mission Power
Engineering Company ("MPE") and the Mission Power Group, as well as additional
wells and gathering systems. The increase in per kWh cost in 1992 was due
largely to the costs of an increased number of production and injection wells.

         Interest expense, less amounts capitalized, increased to $23,389 in
1993 from $14,860 in 1992, an increase of 57.4%, or 1.82 cents per kWh in 1993,
compared to 1.17 cents in 1992. Net interest expense decreased to $14,860 in
1992 from $24,439, or 2.16 cents per kWh in 1991. Net interest expense in 1993
increased due primarily to CECI's higher weighted average interest rate, higher
levels of indebtedness associated with the Coso Project and the issuance of
convertible subordinated debentures in June 1993. The short-term variable rate
debt on the Coso Project was refinanced in 1992 with longer-term fixed rate
debt. The weighted average interest rate on the Coso Project debt was 7.9%, 5.4%
and 8.5% in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. Net interest expense decreased
in 1992 from 1991 as a result of low interest rates associated with the Coso
Project's then variable rate debt.

         The provision for income taxes increased to $18,184 in 1993 from
$11,922 and $8,284 in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The effective tax rate was
29.7%, 23.5% and 23.8% in 1993, 1992, and 1991. The increase in the 1993
effective tax rate was a result of adopting Financial Accounting Standard No.
109 ("FAS 109").

         Income before the provision for income taxes increased 21% to $61,258
in 1993 from $50,732 in 1992. Net income after a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle was $47,174 and net income available to common
shareholders was $42,544 or $1.11 per common share for the year ended December
31, 1993. This compares to net income of $33,819 after an extraordinary item and
net income available to common shareholders of $29,544 or $.79 per common share
for the year ended December 31, 1992. Net income before cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $43,074
or $1.00 per common share versus net income before an extraordinary item of
$38,810 or $.92 per common share in 1992. In 1991, income

                                                        112

before the provision for income taxes was $34,866 and net income available to
common shareholders was $26,582, or $.75 per share.

         Earnings per share were favorably impacted in 1992 by CECI's repurchase
of CECI Common Stock during 1992 at an average price of approximately $12.00 per
share. CECI purchased CECI Common Stock to be held as treasury stock, which was
reissued upon the exercise of options and warrants.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

         CECI's cash and investments were $316,349 at September 30, 1994 as
compared to $127,756 at December 31, 1993. In addition, CECI's share of Coso
Project retained cash and investments in project control accounts at September
30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $27,088 and $14,943, respectively.
Distributions out of the project control account are made monthly to CECI for
operation and maintenance and capital costs and semiannually to each Coso Joint
Venture partner for profit sharing under a prescribed calculation subject to
mutual agreements by the partners. In addition, CECI recorded separately
restricted cash and short-term investments of $127,380 and $48,105 at September
30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. The restricted balances were
comprised primarily of amounts deposited in restricted accounts from which CECI
will source its equity contribution requirements relating to the Upper Mahiao
and Mahanagdong projects and of its proportionate share of Coso Project cash
reserves for a debt service reserve fund. The Coso Project established these
reserves in conjunction with the refinancing of its previous bank debt.

         In March 1994, CECI issued $400,000 of 10 1/4% Senior Discount Notes
which accrete to an aggregate principal amount of $529,640 at maturity in 2004.
The original issue discount (the difference between $400,000 and $529,640) will
be amortized from issue date through January 15, 1997, during which time no cash
interest will be paid on the Senior Discount Notes. Commencing July 15, 1997,
cash interest on the Senior Discount Notes will be payable semiannually on
January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Senior Discount Notes are redeemable at
any time on or after January 15, 1999. The redemption prices commencing in the
twelve month period beginning January 15, 1999 (expressed in percentages of the
principal amount) are 105.125%, 103.417%, 101.708%, and 100% for 1999, 2000,
2001, and 2002, respectively, plus accrued interest through the redemption date
in each case. The Senior Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of
CECI.

         CECI's Senior Notes in the principal amount of $35,730 which were due
in March 1995, together with the fixed 12% interest due thereon, were defeased
in the first quarter of 1994 in conjunction with the issuance of the Senior
Discount Notes. The 1994 contingent interest component of these Senior Notes,
calculated by reference to CECI's share of available cash flow from the Coso
Project, remains undefeased and outstanding through the end of the calculation
period, December 31, 1994.

         In June of 1993, CECI issued $100,000 principal amount of 5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") due July 31, 2000. The
Debentures are convertible into shares of CECI Common Stock at any time prior to
redemption or maturity at a conversion price of $22.50 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. Interest on the Debentures is payable
semiannually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, and commenced on
July 31, 1993. The Debentures may be redeemed for cash at any time on or after
July 31, 1996 at the option of CECI. The redemption prices commencing in the
twelve month period beginning July 31, 1996 (expressed in percentages of the
principal amount) are 102%, 101%, 100% and 100% for 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The Debentures are unsecured general obligations of CECI and
subordinated to all senior indebtedness of CECI.

         In December 1992, CECI entered into an agreement with Community Energy
Alternatives Incorporated ("CEA") to purchase CEA's interest in the Coso Project
for $9,800. The terms of the agreement granted CECI's

                                                        113

Coso Project Joint Venture Partner an option to purchase the CEA interest for a
price which provided CECI with a 17% per annum return for the period CECI owned
the CEA interest. In April 1994, the Coso Project Joint Venture Partner
purchased the CEA interest from CECI for the defined price.

         In May 1994, pursuant to a special antidilution provision of the 1991
Stock Purchase Agreement between CECI and Kiewit Energy Company, CECI increased
Kiewit Energy Company's existing option (granted in 1991) to purchase 3 million
shares at $12 per share by an additional 289,163 shares as a final adjustment
under such provision.

         Proceeds from options for shares of common and treasury stock exercised
in the nine months ended September 30, 1994 aggregated approximately $677.
   
         As of September 30, 1994 CECI has repurchased 3,420 shares of CECI
Common Stock at a cost of $59,516. This repurchase provides shares for issuance
under CECI's employee stock option and share purchase plans and other
outstanding convertible securities. The shares may also be used for any future
convertible securities or employee benefit plans.
    
         CECI is actively seeking to develop, construct, own and operate new
power projects utilizing geothermal and other technologies, both domestically
and internationally, the completion of any of which is subject to substantial
risk. Development can require CECI to expend significant sums for preliminary
engineering, field development, permitting, legal and other expenses in
preparation for competitive bids which CECI may not win or before it can be
determined whether a project is feasible, economically attractive or capable of
being financed. Successful development is contingent upon, among other things,
negotiation of construction, fuel supply and power sales contracts with other
project participants on terms satisfactory to CECI, and receipt of required
governmental permits and consents. Further, there can be no assurance that CECI
will obtain access to the substantial debt and equity capital required to
develop and construct electric power projects or to refinance projects for which
CECI has provided initial construction financing. CECI's future growth is
dependent, in large part, upon the demand for significant amounts of additional
electrical generating capacity and CECI's ability to obtain contracts to supply
portions of this capacity. There can be no assurance that development efforts on
any particular project, or CECI's efforts generally, will be successful.

         CECI believes that the international independent power market holds the
majority of new opportunities for financially attractive private power
development in the next several years. The financing and development of projects
outside the United States entail significant political and financial risks
(including, without limitation, uncertainties associated with first time
privatization efforts in the countries involved, currency exchange rate
fluctuations, currency repatriation restrictions, political instability, civil
unrest and expropriation) and other structuring issues that have the potential
to cause substantial delays or material impairment of value to the project being
developed, which CECI may not be fully capable of insuring against. The
uncertainty of the legal environment in certain foreign countries in which CECI
may develop or acquire projects could make it more difficult for CECI to enforce
its rights under agreements relating to such projects. In addition, the laws and
regulations of certain countries may limit the ability of CECI to hold a
majority interest in some of the projects that it may develop or acquire. CECI's
international projects may, in certain cases, be terminated by a government.
   
         In April 1994, CECI closed the financing for the 128 GMW Upper Mahiao
geothermal power project located in the Philippines. The total project cost for
the facility is approximately $218,000. CECI will supply approximately $56,000
of equity and project debt financing will constitute the balance of
approximately $162,000. A syndicate of international commercial banks is
providing the construction financing. The Export-Import Bank of the U.S. ("Ex-Im
Bank") is providing political risk insurance to the commercial banks for the
construction loan and will provide the preponderance of project term financing
upon satisfaction of conditions associated with

                                                        114

commercial operation. As of September 30, 1994, draws on the construction loan
totalled $20,636, equity investments made by a subsidiary of CECI totalled
$12,712, and CECI has invested $1,236. The Overseas Private Investment
Corporation ("OPIC") is providing political risk insurance on the equity
investment by CECI in this project. The Upper Mahiao project has begun
construction, and is expected to be in service by July of 1996. The project is
structured as a ten year Build-Own-Transfer ("BOT"), in which CECI's subsidiary
CE Cebu Geothermal Power Company, Inc., the project company, will be responsible
for implementing construction of the geothermal power plant and, as owner, for
providing operations and maintenance during the ten year BOT period. The
electricity generated by the Upper Mahiao geothermal power plant will be sold to
the Philippine National Oil Company - Energy Development Corporation
("PNOC-EDC"), which is also responsible for supplying the facility with the
geothermal steam. After a ten year cooperation period, and the recovery by CECI
of its capital investment plus incremental return, the plant will be transferred
to PNOC-EDC at no cost. Ormat Inc. of Sparks, Nevada is the turnkey contractor
for the project.
    
         In 1993 CECI and PNOC-EDC signed an Energy Conversion agreement for a
180 GMW project at the Mahanagdong geothermal site with a target completion date
of July 1997. As with the Upper Mahiao project, the Mahanagdong project is
structured as a ten year Build-Own-Transfer ("BOT"), in which CECI will be
responsible for implementing construction of the geothermal power plant and, as
owner for providing operations and maintenance for the ten year BOT period. The
electricity generated by the geothermal power plant will be sold to PNOC-EDC,
which is also responsible for supplying the facility with the geothermal steam.
After a ten year cooperation period, and the recovery by CECI of its capital
investment plus incremental return, the plant will be transferred to PNOC-EDC at
no cost.

         The Mahanagdong project will be built, owned and operated by CE Luzon
Geothermal Power Company, a Philippine corporation, that is expected to be owned
post completion as follows: 45% by CECI, 45% by Kiewit, and up to 10% by another
industrial company. The turnkey contractor consortium consists of Kiewit
Construction Group, Inc. (with an 80% interest) and The Ben Holt Co., Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of CECI (with a 20% interest).

         In August 1994, CECI completed the financing on the Mahanagdong project
with a total project cost of approximately $320 million. The capital structure
consists of a term loan of $240 million and approximately $80 million in equity
contributions. The construction debt financing facility will be provided by OPIC
and a consortium of commercial lenders led by Bank of America NT&SA. The debt
provided by the commercial lenders will be insured against political risks by
Ex-Im Bank. Ten-year term debt financing will be provided by Ex-Im Bank (which
will replace the construction debt) and by OPIC.

         The Mahanagdong project has commenced construction and as of September
30, 1994, CECI's proportionate share of draws on the construction loan totalled
$443, equity investments made by a subsidiary of CECI totalled $3,899, and CECI
has invested $6,711.

         The Yuma Cogeneration Associates ("YCA") 50 MW cogeneration power plant
commenced commercial operation pursuant to its power purchase agreement with San
Diego Gas & Electric ("SDG&E") at the end of May, 1994. In June 1994 SDG&E filed
a complaint in U.S. District Court seeking to be released from its power
purchase agreement with YCA. In September 1994 SDG&E dismissed its case against
CECI without payment by either party. YCA, a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI,
received all outstanding amounts due from SDG&E.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1993

         CECI's cash and investments were $127,756 at December 31, 1993, as
compared to $54,671 at December 31, 1992. In addition, the Coso Project retained
cash and investments on project control accounts, of which CECI's

                                                        115

share was $14,943 and $8,848 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Distributions out of the project control accounts are made monthly to CECI for
operation and maintenance and capital costs and semiannually to each Coso Joint
Venture partner for profit sharing under a prescribed calculation subject to
mutual agreement by the partners. In addition to these liquid instruments, CECI
recorded separately restricted cash of $48,105 and $62,514 at December 31, 1993
and 1992, respectively. The restricted cash balance in 1993 was comprised
primarily of CECI's proportionate share of Coso Project cash reserves for debt
reserve funds and in 1992 included a contingency reserve fund, both of which
were established in conjunction with the Coso Project's refinancing of its
previous bank debt.

         Accounts receivable normally represents two months of revenues, and
fluctuates with both production and price per kWh.

         The balance due from/to the Coso Joint Ventures relates to operations,
maintenance, and management fees for managing the Coso Project. This amount
fluctuates based on the timing of billings and incurrence of costs.

         In December 1992, CECI refinanced the existing bank debt of the Coso
Project (see Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Coso
Funding Corp. ("Funding Corp."), a single-purpose corporation, was formed to
issue $560,245 of notes for its own account and as an agent acting on behalf of
Navy I, BLM and Navy II Plants. The proceeds were used in part to replace the
outstanding Coso Project bank indebtedness and to provide funding within the
Coso Project for certain reserves. As of December 31, 1993 and 1992 CECI's
proportionate share of the Coso Project loan was $246,880 and $263,604,
respectively.

         The Funding Corp. notes have remaining terms of up to eight years and
different fixed interest rates for each tranche. The underlying project loans
have identical terms as the Coso Project loans and are also non-recourse to
CECI.

         In connection with the Coso Project refinancing, CECI purchased
Community Energy Alternatives Incorporated's ("CEA") interest in the Coso
Project at the close of the Coso Project refinancing (see Note 5 to the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements).

         On June 9, 1993, MPE and the Mission Power Group, subsidiaries of SCE
Corp., and the Coso Joint Ventures reached a final settlement of all of their
outstanding disputes and claims relating to the construction of the Coso
Project. As a result of the various payments and releases involved in such
settlement, the Coso Joint Ventures agreed to make a net payment of $20,000 to
MPE from the cash reserves of the Coso Project contingency fund and MPE agreed
to release its mechanics' liens on the Coso Projects. After making the $20,000
payment, the remaining balance of the Coso Project contingency fund
(approximately $49,300) was used to increase the Coso Project debt reserve fund
from approximately $43,000 to its maximum fully-funded requirement of $67,900.
The remaining $24,400 balance of the contingency fund was retained within the
Coso Project for future capital expenditures and for Coso Project debt service
payments. Since the Coso Project debt service reserve is fully funded in
advance, Coso Project cash flows otherwise intended to fund the Coso Project
debt service reserve funds, subject to satisfaction of certain covenants and
conditions contained in the Coso Joint Ventures' refinancing documents, are
available for distribution to CECI in its proportionate share.

         On May 3, 1993, the transmission line dispute was settled and the
transmission line deposit of approximately $7,700 was released to CECI.

         In June of 1993, CECI issued $100,000 principal amount of 5%
convertible subordinated debentures (the "Convertible Subordinated Debentures"),
due July 31, 2000. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures are convertible into
shares of CECI Common Stock at any time prior to redemption or maturity at a
conversion price

                                                        116




     
<PAGE>






of $22.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Interest on
the Convertible Subordinated Debentures is payable semiannually in arrears on
July 31 and January 31 each year, commencing on July 31, 1993. The Convertible
Subordinated Debentures are redeemable for cash at any time on or after July 31,
1996 at a redemption price of (expressed in percentages of the principal amount)
102%, 101%, 100% and 100% in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The
Convertible Subordinated Debentures are unsecured general obligations of CECI
and subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of CECI.

         The Senior Notes, of which $35,730 aggregate principal amount are
currently outstanding, mature in March 1995 and bear interest at the rate of 12%
per annum, plus contingent interest calculated by reference to CECI's share of
the cash flow from the Coso Project through December 31, 1994. Simultaneous with
the closing of a proposed offering of Senior Discount Notes (see Note 16 of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), CECI intends to use
approximately $39,000 to defease and provide for the repayment of the entire
aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding. The Senior Notes
prohibit the payment of cash dividends unless CECI has a net worth of at least
$50,000 after payment of such dividends, and dividends do not exceed 50% of
accumulated net income subsequent to December 31, 1987. The Senior Notes also
place restrictions on capital expenditures not related to the Coso Project.
   
         Proceeds and benefits from warrants and options for shares of CECI
Common Stock exercised in 1993 and 1992 aggregated approximately $1,400 and
$8,065, respectively. In addition, in September 1993, CECI acquired the Ben Holt
Co. ("BHC"), a thirty person engineering firm, for a combination of cash and
CECI Common Stock. In connection with this transaction, 87 common shares were
issued having an aggregate market value of $1,557.
    
         CECI repurchased 157 shares of CECI Common Stock during 1993 for the
aggregate amount of $2,897. CECI purchased common stock to be held as treasury
stock in anticipation of their reissue upon the exercise of options. CECI
repurchased 565 shares of CECI Common Stock during 1992 at an aggregate amount
of $4,887.
The shares were reissued during 1992 upon the exercise of stock options.

         On October 13, 1992, CECI repurchased, and cancelled, certain warrants
exercisable for 1,025 shares of unregistered common stock at $2.04 per share,
for a purchase price of $9.16 per share, or approximately $9,389 in the
aggregate. Kiewit Energy Company ("Kiewit Energy") simultaneously purchased and
exercised other warrants to purchase 600 shares of unregistered common stock at
$2.04 per share, providing CECI with proceeds of $1,200. On October 27, 1992,
CECI repurchased and cancelled warrants exercisable for 250 shares of
unregistered common stock at 2.04 per share, for a purchase price of $9.316 per
share, or $2,329 in the aggregate.

         On November 15, 1992, CECI called CECI's Series B convertible preferred
stock, no par value (the "Series B preferred stock"), for conversion into common
stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock was converted into two shares of
CECI Common Stock and, accordingly, CECI issued 954.9 shares of common stock.

         In 1991, CECI and Kiewit Energy signed a stock purchase agreement and
related agreements (see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statement). In
addition, in 1991 CECI issued 1,000 shares of its Series C redeemable preferred
stock to Kiewit Energy for $50,000 per share.

         On March 31, 1993, CECI acquired leases from Unocal on 26,000 acres of
geothermal properties at the Glass Mountain site in Northern California which
includes three successful production wells.

         CECI is actively engaged in the acquisition of, and is seeking to
develop, construct, own and operate power projects utilizing geothermal and
other technologies, both domestically and internationally, the completion of any
of which is subject to substantial risk. CECI is currently pursuing a number of
international power project opportunities in countries where private power
generation programs have been initiated, including the Philippines

                                                        117

and Indonesia. Development can require CECI to expend significant sums for
preliminary engineering, permitting, legal and other expenses in preparation for
competitive bids which CECI may not win or before it can be determined whether a
project is feasible, economically attractive or financeable. Successful
development is contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of construction,
fuel supply and power sales contracts with other project participants on terms
satisfactory to CECI, and receipt of required governmental permits and consents.
Further, there can be no assurance that CECI will obtain access to the
substantial debt and equity capital required for the acquisition or development
and construction of electric power projects. To the extent CECI engages in
international development efforts, the financing and development of projects
entails significant political and financial risks (including, without
limitation, uncertainties associated with first time privatization efforts in
the countries involved, currency exchange rate fluctuations, currency
repatriation restrictions, political instability, civil unrest and
expropriation) and other structuring issues that have the potential to cause
substantial delays or that CECI may not be fully capable of insuring against.
There can be no assurance that development efforts on any particular project, or
CECI's acquisition or development efforts generally, will be successful.

         In particular, CECI is developing a number of international projects,
for which it may have significant capital requirements. In 1994, CECI intends to
incur capital expenditures in excess of $40,000 for international project
development. In addition to its international projects, CECI plans to incur
domestic geothermal capital expenditures in the approximate aggregate amount of
$30,000 in 1994. CECI's planned capital spending includes, among other things,
its share of recurring Coso Project capital expenditures, as well as development
of the Newberry Project in the Pacific Northwest.

         CECI is constructing the Yuma Project, a 50 MW natural gas fired
cogeneration project in Yuma, Arizona. Engineering and equipment procurement
commenced in 1993. Capital expenditures of $10,000 are anticipated through the
completion of the Yuma Project by midyear 1994. The capital expenditures will be
funded from existing cash balances and CECI's operating cash flows.

         Inflation has not had a substantial impact on CECI's operating revenues
and costs. The Coso Project's energy payments for electricity will continue to
be based upon scheduled rate increases through the initial ten-year period of
each SO4 Agreement. Prior to the Coso Project refinancing, the project loans
relating to the Coso Project were generally for periods up to twelve months at
LIBOR plus a specified margin. Accordingly, the interest rates on the loans
varied and over the operating period resulted in fluctuating interest payments.
The refinanced Coso Project debt has fixed interest rates.

ADOPTION OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 109

         On January 1, 1993, CECI adopted FAS 109. The adoption of FAS 109
changes CECI's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method as
required by Accounting Principles Board No. 11 to an asset and liability
approach. Under FAS 109, the net excess deferred tax liability as of January 1,
1993 was determined to be $4,100. This amount is reflected in 1993 income as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. It primarily represents
the recognition of CECI's tax credit carryforwards as a deferred tax asset.
There was no cash impact to CECI upon the required adoption of FAS 109. Under
FAS 109, the effective tax rate utilized increased at the time of adoption as a
result of the tax credit carryforwards being recognized as an asset and
unavailable to reduce the current period's effective tax rate for computing
CECI's provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate continues to be less
than the statutory rate primarily due to the depletion deduction and the
generation of energy credits in 1993. The significant components of the deferred
tax liability are the temporary differences between the financial reporting
bases and income tax bases of the power plant and the well and resource
development costs, and in addition, the offsetting benefits of operating loss

            MAGMA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: THIRD QUARTER 1994 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1993

         Revenues. Total revenues for the third quarter of 1994 were up
$1,568,000 or 3% to $58,883,000 as compared to $57,315,000 for the same period
last year. This increase was made up primarily of increases in the sales of
electricity, interest income and other income.

         Sales of Electricity. Revenues from the sale of electricity increased
$918,000 in the third quarter of 1994 to $50,592,000. The revenue gain was due
to a 7.9% increase in the payments for "energy" under the ISO4 contracts of the
four Magma Partnership Plants. The "energy" payments under the ISO4 contracts of
two of the three Salton Sea Plants are "levelized" during their Initial Terms.
The third Salton Sea Plant does not have an ISO4 contract. Under its "negotiated
contract," the energy and capacity payments adjust quarterly pursuant to a
basket of price indices. The "capacity" payments received by all plants were
essentially unchanged during the period.

         During the third quarter of 1994 and 1993, the combined "contract" and
"nameplate" capacity factors of the Magma Partnership Plants are shown in the
table below:

         Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased
$494,000, a 55% increase compared to interest and other income for the same
period of the prior year, reflecting the higher cash balances available for
investment and the higher short-term interest rate environment. Cash available
for investment during the same period of the prior year was lower due to the use
of cash in connection with the acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants from Unocal.

         Costs and Expenses. In the third quarter of 1994, total costs and
expenses were $25,744,000 compared to costs and expenses for the same period in
1993 of $26,532,000. This 3% decrease in total costs and expenses was composed
primarily of decreases in plant operating costs and depreciation of $1,681,000
and $499,000, respectively, and increases of $818,000 in general and
administrative expense and $577,000 in interest expense.

         The decrease in plant operating costs reflects the realization of
certain efficiencies by integrating the operations of the Magma Partnership and
Salton Sea Plants and the favorable results of Magma's ongoing efforts to reduce
operating costs.

         The $818,000 increase in general and administrative costs reflects
Magma's continued devotion of more of its resources towards expansion of
business development activities by increasing staff and support services to
facilitate the planned growth of Magma.

         The $577,000 increase in interest expense reflects the effect of higher
borrowing costs due to higher market interest rates. Currently, approximately
84% of Magma's consolidated debt is floating rate debt.

         Net Income. Net income was 12% higher at $22,849,000 in the third
quarter of 1994 as compared to $20,453,000 in the corresponding period of the
prior year. The increase in net income reflects the increase in electricity
revenues and interest income and the decrease in total costs and expenses.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1993

         Revenues. Total revenues for the first nine months of 1994 were up
$21,323,000 or 17% to $146,104,000 as compared to $124,781,000 for the same
period of the prior year. This increase was made up primarily of an increase in
the sales of electricity.

         Sales of Electricity. Revenues from the sale of electricity increased
$20,767,000 in the first nine months of 1994 to $124,086,000 primarily due to
the inclusion of the revenues of the Salton Sea Plants for the full nine months
of 1994. The Salton Sea Plants contributed $15,311,000 of this revenue gain. The
balance of the revenue gain of $5,456,000 was produced by the four Magma
Partnership Plants by way of a 1% increase in the megawatt hours delivered and
an increase in the price paid for "energy" under their ISO4s with SEC. The
annual time period weighted average price of "energy" under the Magma
Partnership Plants ISO4s increased 7.9% in 1994 to 10.9 cents per kWh. The
energy payments under the ISO4 contracts of two of the Salton Sea Plants are
"levelized" during their Initial Terms. The third Salton Sea Plant does not have
an ISO4 contract. Under its "negotiated" contract, both the energy and capacity
payments adjust quarterly based on a basket of price indices. The "capacity"
payments received by all plants were essentially unchanged during the first nine
months of 1994 compared to 1993.

         (6,600 hours) ended December 31, 1993.

</TABLE>

         Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased
$231,000, a 6% increase compared to interest income for the same period of the
prior year, primarily due to higher investment earnings, reflecting the higher
cash balances available for investment and the higher short-term interest rate
environment.

         Costs and Expenses. In the first nine months of 1994, total costs and
expenses increased $11,365,000, a 17% increase, compared to costs for the same
period in 1993. This increase was composed primarily of a $4,586,000 increase in
plant operating costs, a $2,288,000 increase in depreciation, a $2,131,000
increase in general and administrative expense, and a $2,381,000 increase in
interest expense. The increase in plant operating costs and depreciation
primarily reflects the cost of operating the Salton Sea Plants for nine months
in 1994 compared to six months in 1993.

         The $2,131,000 increase in general and administrative costs reflects
Magma's continued devotion of more of its resources towards expansion of
business development activities by increasing staff and support services to
facilitate the planned growth of Magma.

         The $2,381,000 increase in interest expense over the corresponding
period of 1994 reflects the increased cost of borrowings to finance the
acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants. Interest expense related to the Magma
Partnership Plants declined as a result of lower partnership weighted-average
borrowings during the first nine months of 1994 as compared to the same period
of the prior year.

         Provision for Income Taxes. Magma's effective tax rate in the first
nine months of 1994 was 31 percent which was comparable to the rate in the same
period of the prior year.

         Net Income. Net income was 19% higher at $46,843,000 for the first nine
months of 1994 as compared to $39,469,000 in the corresponding period of the
prior year. The increase in net income reflects the addition of the earnings of
the Salton Sea Plants for nine months in 1994 compared to six months in 1993 as
well as the higher ISO4 electricity revenues received by the Partnership Plants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: 1993 COMPARED TO 1992

         Revenues. Magma's operating revenues (total revenues excluding interest
and other income) in 1993 increased $62,630,000 to $162,943,000. This increase
was made up of an increase in the sales of electricity, an increase in royalties
received from the Vulcan, Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants (the "Partnership
Plants") and an increase in management services fees earned for providing
services to the Partnership Plants and a decrease in royalties received from
third-party owned and operated geothermal power plants.

         Sales of Electricity. Revenues from the sale of electricity in 1993
increased $65,646,000 to $137,882,000 primarily due to the inclusion of the
revenues of the three power plants (the "Salton Sea Plants") acquired from Union
Oil Company of California ("Unocal"), as of March 31, 1993. The Salton Sea
Plants contributed $60,158,000 of the electricity revenue gain. The balance of
$5,488,000 was produced by the Partnership Plants and was due to both an
increase in the price paid for energy under their Interim Standard Offer No. 4
("ISO4") long-term power purchase contracts with Southern California Edison
Company ("SCE") and an increase in the number of megawatt hours produced. The
annual time period weighted average price of energy under the Partnership
Plants' ISO4s increased 8.6% in 1993 to 10.1(cent) per kilowatt hour ("kWh").
The number of megawatt hours produced by these plants increased 2.6% in 1993.

         In addition to the energy payments, the Partnership Plants receive the
following separate payments for capacity based on the contract capacities
specified in their respective ISO4s: Vulcan -- $158 per kilowatt year, Hoch --
$198 per kilowatt year, Elmore -- $198 per kilowatt year and Leathers -- $187
per kilowatt year. Unlike the energy payments which escalate each year for the
first ten years pursuant to schedules attached to the ISO4s and then convert to
SCE's then published avoided cost of energy, the capacity payments are fixed for
the full 30-year term of the ISO4s. The contract capacities specified in the
ISO4s for the Vulcan, Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants are 29,500, 34,000,
34,000 and 34,000 kilowatts, respectively.

         The ISO4s for the Vulcan, Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants also specify
a nameplate rating. The specified nameplate ratings for these plants are 34,000,
38,000, 38,000 and 38,000 kilowatts, respectively.

         The Partnership Plants are 50% owned by Magma and the newly acquired
Salton Sea Plants are 100% owned by Magma. Two of the Salton Sea Plants have an
ISO4 with SCE and the third has a non-standard offer long-term power purchase
contract (a "Negotiated Contract") with SCE. Each of the Salton Sea Plants earns
an

<PAGE>






energy payment. For the 10 MW, Salton Sea Plant I, the energy payment under its
Negotiated Contract averaged 4.8(cent) per kWh in the nine months ended December
31, 1993. This energy payment adjusts quarterly based on a basket of indices for
the 30-year term of its power purchase agreement with SCE. For the 20 MW, Salton
Sea Plant 2, and the 49.8 MW, Salton Sea Plant 3, the energy payments under
their ISO4 contracts are levelized for the first ten years at a time period
weighted average of 10.6(cent) and 9.8(cent) per kWh, respectively. The first
ten years expires in 1999 for Salton Sea Plant 3 and in 2000 for Salton Sea
Plant 2.

         Each of the Salton Sea Plants also receives the following capacity
payments based on the contract capacity specified in its power purchase
agreements with SCE: Salton Sea Plant 1 -- $123.61 per kilowatt year, Salton Sea
Plant 2 -- $187.00 per kilowatt year and Salton Sea Plant 3 -- $175.00 per
kilowatt year. The contract capacities specified in the power purchase
agreements for the Salton Sea Plants are 10,000, 15,000 and 47,500 kilowatts,
respectively. The capacity payments for Salton Sea Plants 2 and 3 are fixed for
the full 30-year term of their ISO4s, while the capacity payment for Salton Sea
Plant 1 adjusts quarterly based on a basket of indices for the full 30-year term
of its Negotiated Contract.

         The power purchase agreements for the Salton Sea Plants also specify a
nameplate rating. The specified nameplate ratings of these plants are 10,000,
20,000 and 49,800 kilowatts, respectively.

         Royalties. Magma's royalty revenues from the Partnership Plants
increased in 1993, while royalties received from third-party plants decreased.
The decrease in third-party royalties was due to the one-time recognition in
1992 of $7,900,000 of earned but unpaid Jr. SO4 payments from the GEO East Mesa
plant. Since 1989, Magma has received Sr. SO4 payments from the East Mesa plant
on a current basis. However, Jr. SO4 payments have gone unpaid pending
conversion of the plant's construction loan to permanent financing. Due to the
strong operating and financial performance and cash flow of the East Mesa plant,
Magma recognized as royalty income in 1992 the $7,900,000 of Jr. SO4 payments
which had accrued since the East Mesa plant's start-up. In 1993 Magma recognized
as royalty income $3,190,000 of accrued Jr. SO4 payments from the East Mesa
plant. Although no Jr. SO4 payments have been received by Magma, loan conversion
is expected during the first half of 1994 at which time substantially all of the
accrued Jr. SO4 payments are expected to be received.

         Royalties from the Partnership Plants, the major source of Magma's
royalty income, increased $1,225,000 or 10.5% in 1993 to $12,877,000. The
increase resulted from the increased energy revenues in 1993.

         Management Services. Revenues received for management services
increased $284,000 in 1993, due to an increase in the incentive fees received
from the Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants for operating the facilities above
certain predetermined targets and an increase in the administrative fees
received from the four Partnership Plants, reflecting the higher electricity
revenues received by these plants in 1993.

         Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased
$4,458,000, or 52%, in 1993 to $4,195,000 due to lower investment earnings,
reflecting the lower short-term interest rate environment and the reduction in
Magma's cash and marketable securities due to the purchase, in March of 1993, of
the Unocal geothermal properties and assets.

         Costs and Expenses.. Total costs and expenses increased $32,926,000 in
1993, a 56% increase primarily due to the acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants
from Unocal. This increase was composed primarily of a $16,235,000 increase in
plant operating costs, a $9,765,000 increase in depreciation, a $4,460,000
increase in general and administrative expense and a $2,795,000 increase in
interest expense.

         Plant Operating Costs and Depreciation.  The increase in plant
operating costs and depreciation primarily reflects the additional cost of
operating and maintaining the Salton Sea Plants acquired from Unocal.  Of the

                                                        123




     
<PAGE>






$16,235,000 increase in plant operating costs in 1993, $16,191,000 was
attributable to the nine months operation of the newly acquired Salton Sea
Plants. Similarly, of the $9,765,000 increase in depreciation, $8,156,000
related to the Salton Sea Plants.

         Controllable operating costs for the Partnership Plants (total costs
less depreciation, interest, management fees and royalties) increased by less
than 1% over the prior year and, on a per kilowatt hour basis, have decreased in
1993 to 4.3(cent) per kWh from 4.4(cent) per kWh in 1992. Magma has established
a goal of significantly reducing controllable operating costs over the next five
years for its plants at the Salton Sea by applying newly developed material and
process technologies and the further realization of the efficiencies gained
through its acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants from Unocal. The goal is to
reduce these costs to less than 3.0(cent) per kWh over the next five years.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased
from $6,483,000 in 1992 to $10,943,000 in 1993, an increase of $4,460,000. Magma
continued to devote more resources to expansion of business development
activities by increasing staff and related costs, which is directed toward
development of international geothermal power projects, and support services to
facilitate the planned growth of Magma.

         Interest Incurred. Interest expense increased by $2,795,000, in 1993 to
$9,626,000, reflecting the cost of the $140,000,000 one-year term loan ("Bridge
Loan") incurred in the acquisition of the Unocal geothermal assets. Interest
expense related to the Partnership Plants actually declined in 1993 as a result
of a lower level of partnership debt and lower market interest rates. Excluding
the Bridge Loan, Magma's weighted average interest rate of 5.6% during 1993
compared favorably with the corresponding rate of 6.7% in 1992.

         Interest expense in 1994 is expected to be higher than in 1993
reflecting principally the replacing of the Bridge Loan on February 28, 1994
with a non-recourse $130,000,000 six-year term loan. The term loan is a "project
level loan", that is, a loan arranged by Magma's subsidiaries owning the Salton
Sea Plants and secured by their assets with no recourse to Magma. Magma believes
that through non-recourse project level debt, typically more expensive than
corporate level recourse loans, it retains more flexibility in financing future
growth.

         Provision for Income Taxes. In 1992 Magma adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"). SFAS 109 changed the manner in which Magma accounted for the tax benefit
of certain items such as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The
cumulative effect of this change increased net income approximately $17,833,000
or $.77 per share in 1992, and is reported separately in the consolidated
statement of operations. As a result of this change Magma's effective tax rate
increased in 1993, and will increase in future years as well, over what it would
have been but for the change, since the future tax benefit of operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards was recognized in 1992 in the cumulative effect
adjustment.

         Magma's tax provision in 1993, as a percentage of earnings before tax,
increased to 30.4% from the 1992 rate of 26.8% due to higher operating profits
in 1993 as a result of the earnings contribution of the newly acquired Salton
Sea Plants and recognition of the 1% increase in the Federal statutory corporate
tax rate in the current tax provision and the corresponding adjustment to
recognize the effect of the rate increase on the deferred tax liability.
Magma's 1994 provision for income taxes is expected to be approximately 32%.

         Net Income. Magma's 1992 net income of $54,191,000 included a positive
adjustment of $17,833,000 to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No.
109. Before the cumulative effect of the accounting change, 1992's net income
was $36,358,000. Magma's 1993 net income increased by $15,777,000 or 43% to
$52,135,000 from 1992's net income before the cumulative effect of the
accounting change. The 1993 increase in net income reflects the addition of the
earnings of the Salton Sea Plants acquired from Unocal, as well as the higher
ISO4 electricity revenues received by the Partnership Plants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  1992 COMPARED TO 1991

         Revenues. Magma's operating revenues increased $16,178,000 in 1992 to
$100,313,000 from $84,135,000 in 1991. This increase was made up of an increase
in the sales of electricity, an increase in royalties received from the
Partnership Plants and third-party owned and operated geothermal power plants
and an increase in management services fees earned for providing services to the
Partnership Plants.

         Sales of Electricity. Revenues from the sale of electricity increased
$6,221,000 in 1992 to $72,236,000 due primarily to an increase in the price for
energy under the ISO4s and a 4.4% increase in kilowatts delivered to SCE. The
average price for energy under the ISO4s increased 8.1% in 1992 to 9.3(cent) per
kWh.

         Royalties. Magma's royalty revenues increased $9,318,000 in 1992 to
$22,929,000, $1,050,000 of the increase resulted from the increased energy
revenues of the Partnership Plants in 1992. The remainder of the increase or
$8,268,000 came as the result of higher royalty income recognized from
third-party owned and operated plants of which $7,900,000 was due to the
recognition of accrued royalties ("Jr. SO4 payments") from the GEO East Mesa
geothermal power plant. Since 1989, Magma has received the senior portion of the
royalties ("Sr. SO4 payments") from the East Mesa plant on a current basis,
however, the Jr. SO4 payments have gone unpaid pending conversion of the plant's
construction loan to permanent financing. Due to the strong performance and cash
flow of the East Mesa plant in 1992 and the expected conversion of the plant's
construction loan, Magma elected to recognize the accrued Jr. SO4 payments as
royalty income.

         Management Services. Revenues received for management services provided
to the Partnership Plants increased $639,000 in 1992, due primarily to a
$402,000 increase in the incentive fees received from the Hoch, Elmore and
Leathers plants for operating the facilities above certain predetermined
targets, and a $216,000 increase in the fees received from the Partnership
Plants by Magma's wholly-owned subsidiary, Desert Valley Company, for disposal
of drilling muds and cuttings and silica cake at its monofill, a single purpose
landfill owned and operated by Desert Valley.

         Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased
$2,103,000 in 1992 to $8,653,000. In spite of higher cash balances available for
investment, interest and other income decreased compared to the prior year
reflecting the lower short-term interest rate environment.

         Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses in 1992 increased
$5,612,000, a 10.5% increase, over 1991. This increase was comprised primarily
of a $5,905,000 increase in plant operating costs, including depreciation and
amortization, a $549,000 increase in general and administrative expense, offset
by a $1,696,000 decrease in interest expense.

         Plant Operating Costs. The increase in plant operating costs reflected
the increased costs in 1992 of processing geothermal fluids and collecting and
disposing of geothermal solids and maintaining the well field and geothermal
reservoir supporting the Partnership Plants.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased
from $5,934,000 in 1991 to $6,483,000 in 1992, an increase of $549,000. Magma
continues to direct more financial resources to business development and
governmental relations.

         Interest Incurred. Interest expense declined as a result of lower
partnership weighted average borrowings during 1992 and the effect of lower
borrowing costs, because of lower market interest rates. Magma's weighted
average interest rate of 6.7% during 1992 compares favorably with the
corresponding rate of 8.0% in the prior year.

         Provision for Income Taxes. In 1992 Magma adopted SFAS 109. Prior to
1992, the provision for income taxes was based on income and expenses included
in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected
to reverse. SFAS 109 changed the manner in which Magma accounted for the tax
benefit of certain items such as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Accordingly, the cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income
taxes, adopted as of the beginning of 1992, increased net income approximately
$17,833,000 or $.77 per share, and is reported separately in the consolidated
statement of operations. The financial statements for 1991 have not been
restated to reflect SFAS 109.

         Magma's tax provision, as a percentage of earnings before tax, was
higher in 1992 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 109. The effect of applying
SFAS 109 in 1992 was to decrease net income before the cumulative effect of
adopting SFAS 109 by approximately $2,821,000 or $.12 per share. Magma's 1992
effective tax rate was 26.8% following the adoption of SFAS 109 rather than
21.1% under the previous accounting treatment. Magma's effective tax rate will
continue to be significantly higher in the future, since the tax benefit of
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which could have been expected to
reduce future tax provisions, has been recognized in 1992 in the cumulative
effect adjustment.

         Net Income. Net income increased $20,250,000 in 1992 to $54,191,000. Of
this increase $17,833,000 is attributable to the cumulative effect of adopting
SFAS No. 109. In addition, higher net income reflects higher revenues from the
sale of electricity, Magma's core business, higher royalty income from
third-party owned and operated royalty plants including the recognition of
$7,900,000 in accrued Jr. SO4 payments from the GEO East Mesa geothermal power
plants and lower interest expense incurred on partnership non-recourse debt. The
higher revenues and lower interest expense were offset, in part, by lower
interest and other income, higher plant operating costs and a higher tax
provision than would have been recorded under the previous accounting standard.
The lower interest income and interest expense reflects the generally lower
market rates of interest.

         Acquisition and New Project Costs. Magma purchased, on March 31, 1993,
all of Unocal's geothermal interests in the Imperial Valley of California,
including three operating geothermal power plants, 40,600 acres of geothermal
leases and an option to develop and sell an additional 20MWs of geothermal power
to SCE. The total cost of the acquisition was $248,200,000 (subject to certain
post-closing adjustments) which included $6,686,000 for certain current assets
and liabilities assumed by Magma, $3,489,000 of interest incurred on the unpaid
purchase price from January 1, 1993 through the closing date, advisory fees and
transaction costs of $3,400,000, and a $10,000,000 reserve for future capital
expenditures for certain improvements to the assets. The total purchase price
was paid utilizing both cash and the proceeds from a $140,000,000 Bridge Loan.
The acquired assets contributed to Magma's revenues and earnings as of April 1,
1993.

         In addition, in separate transactions, Magma purchased from Unocal for
an additional $1,000,000 interest in approximately 12,000 acres of geothermal
leases in central California near Mammoth, California (the "Long Valley Leases")
and its interest in approximately 58,300 acres of geothermal leases in Nevada.
Simultaneously, Magma sold a two-thirds interest in the Long Valley Leases to
two independent power developers.

         On March 11, 1992 Magma acquired a 30-year modified ISO4 Power Purchase
Agreement to sell 14MWs of capacity and 16MWs of energy to SCE using geothermal
resources from leases at Fish Lake, Nevada. Magma is currently engaged in
exploratory and well field development activities, which are preparatory to
constructing a power plant. Three wells have been drilled, which could be used
as production wells for the future plant.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Operations and development activities have been financed with working
capital, the sale of common stock for cash and services, secured and unsecured,
loans and non-recourse loans from commercial banks.

         Magma has geothermal projects in the development stage, both domestic
and international, which it intends to finance with a combination of
Magma-supplied equity and non-recourse project debt. These development stage
projects will require significant equity contributions from Magma during the
next five years. Magma believes that its cash reserves, augmented by cash flow
from its current operations, will be sufficient to fund these equity
contributions.

         Magma financed the Unocal acquisition with its own cash and with the
proceeds from the $140,000,000 Bridge Loan. On February 28, 1994 the Bridge Loan
was repaid, utilizing both Magma cash and the proceeds from a non-recourse
project level six-year term loan of $130,000,000 collateralized by substantially
all of the assets and power purchase contracts of the three Salton Sea Plants
acquired from Unocal (the "$130,000,000 Term Loan"). In addition, a $5,000,000
working capital line of credit has been provided to the subsidiaries owning the
plants by two of the banks participating in the $130,000,000 Term Loan. No loans
against the working capital line of credit have been made.

         Magma's cash and marketable securities at December 31, 1993 totalled
$73,022,000 of which $50,103,000 was available for general corporate uses. The
remainder of $22,919,000 is Magma's share of cash and marketable securities of
the four partnerships which own the four Partnership Plans operated by Magma.
These funds are earmarked for the working capital needs of each of the
partnerships. Restrictions in the secured credit agreements for the Hoch, Elmore
and Leathers plants and the $130,000,000 Term Loan for the Salton Sea Plants
place limits on distributions of cash by the partnerships to Magma.

         In addition, at December 31, 1993, Magma had non-current investments
totalling $47,642,000 consisting of $32,302,000 in securities with maturities
greater than one year, which are liquid, and $15,340,000 of other investments,
which are not liquid.

         At December 31, 1993, long-term obligations were $189,209,000, a
$103,375,000 increase over year-end 1992. The increase reflects the replacement
on February 28, 1994 of the $140,000,000 one-year Bridge Loan, with the six-year
$130,000,000 Term Loan. The increase in long-term obligations was partially
offset by a reduction of $9,028,000 in Magma's pro-rata share of partnership
debt for the Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants. Partnership debt is non-recourse
to Magma.

         Magma has an unused and available line of credit with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York of $25,000,000.

         Cash and marketable securities at September 30, 1994 totaled
$74,198,000 of which $48,720,000 was available for general corporate use. The
remainder of $25,478,000 is Magma's share of the cash and marketable securities
of the "Magma Partnerships," the four separate partnerships which are jointly
owned by Magma and Mission Energy Company and which own the Partnership Plants,
and the cash and marketable securities of the Salton Sea Partnerships, the 100%
owned Magma partnerships which own the three Salton Sea plants acquired from
Unocal (the "Salton Sea Plants"). Certain portions of these funds are earmarked
for the working capital needs of the plants. In addition, the secured credit
agreements for the Hoch, Elmore and Leathers Partnership Plants and the Term
Loan for the Salton Sea Plants place limits on distributions of cash.

         Non-current investments at September 30, 1994, totaled $41,245,000
consisting of $29,676,000 in marketable securities with maturities greater than
one year which are liquid and $11,569,000 of other investments, which are not
liquid.

         At September 30, 1994, loans payable (including amounts currently due)
were $188,969,000, a $37,039,000 decrease over year end 1993. The decrease
reflects the $10,000,000 debt reduction that occurred on February 28, 1994 when
the $140,000,000 Bridge Loan was replaced with the $130,000,000 Term Loan and a
$9,992,000 reduction in Magma's pro-rata share of Magma Partnership debt, a
$15,692,000 reduction in Salton Sea Partnership debt, and a $1,355,000 reduction
in other debt. The Magma Partnerships debt and the $130,000,000 Term Loan are
both non-recourse to Magma Power Company and its subsidiaries. The ratio of debt
to debt-plus-equity at September 30, 1994 (inclusive of non-recourse debt) was
34 percent compared to 40 percent at December 31, 1993. Magma has an unused and
available line of credit with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of $25,000,000 at
September 30, 1994.

         Six of the seven geothermal power plants operated by Magma sell
electricity to SCE under Interim Standard Offer No. 4 "ISO4" long-term power
purchase contracts. Each ISO4 contract provides for both capacity payments and
energy payments. The capacity payments remain constant throughout the life of
each ISO4 contract. During each of the first 10 years of operation (the "Initial
Term"), the energy payments are fixed pursuant to the terms of the ISO4
contract. Thereafter, the energy payments are SCE's then-current published
avoided cost of energy. In 1994 the time period weighted average price for
energy for the six plants combined is approximately 10.6 cents per kWh. For
September 1994, SCE's avoided cost of energy was 2.2 cents per kWh. Estimates of
SCE's future avoided cost of energy vary substantially, but it is expected to
remain substantially below such contract energy prices. Thus, the revenues
generated by each of Magma's six plants operating under ISO4 contracts are
likely to decline significantly after their respective initial terms expire.
Such decline could have a material adverse effect on Magma's results of
operation. The initial terms expire in 1996 as to 34 megawatts of nameplate
generation, in 1999 for 126 megawatts of nameplate generation and in 2000 for
the remaining 58 megawatts of nameplate generation under ISO4 contracts.

         The seventh and smallest plant (approximately 10 megawatts) sells
electricity to SCE under a negotiated power purchase contract (the "Negotiated
Contract"). The energy payment under the Negotiated Contract was 4.8 cents per
kWh in the third quarter of 1994. The capacity payment was approximately 1.7
cents per kWh in the third quarter of 1994. Both the energy and capacity
payments adjust quarterly based on a basket of indices for the 30- year term of
the Negotiated Contract.

         Magma's strategy is to mitigate the adverse impact of potentially lower
revenues in the future from its six plants with ISO4 contracts by aggressively
seeking out and developing new power generation projects in both the United
States and abroad, seeking out additional strategic acquisitions, and continuing
to find new ways to significantly reduce plant operating costs for its existing
as well as any new plants. The competition for new power purchase contracts is
intense, however, and any contracts Magma is able to secure in the future,
whether in the United States or abroad, are likely to be on terms and conditions
that are substantially less favorable than those provided in Magma's current
ISO4 contracts.

         Other than as described herein and as subject to the ISO4 contract
terms regarding payments for energy after its initial ten-year term (see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Future Rates") Magma is not aware of any trends or known demands,
events or uncertainties that would result in or that are reasonably likely to
result in a material change in Magma's liquidity or capital resources, other
than the development activities mentioned above.

<PAGE>






SEASONALITY

         The ISO4 contracts held by Magma reflect a seasonal variation in rates
for both energy and capacity. The ISO4 rates are higher in the summer months
(i.e., June through September) to correspond with SCE's peak system load and are
lower in the winter months. Similarly, the rates are higher during peak hours
than they are during the off-peak hours (night time, weekends and holidays).
Consequently, Magma strives to operate its geothermal power plants at the
highest possible output during the peak months and peak hours to take advantage
of the higher rates, and to conduct maintenance during non-peak months and the
off-peak hours (especially during the eight winter off-peak months). Thus,
Magma's monthly revenues from the sale of electricity are generally higher from
June through September of each year.

INFLATION

         During the period that Magma has been engaged in business, general
inflation has not had a substantial impact on Magma's operating revenues and
costs. However, if Magma were to construct a new geothermal power plant at the
Salton Sea of the same size and using the same technology as its existing
plants, the capital cost of such plant would be significantly higher than that
of any of the existing Salton Sea plants. Also, any general increase in interest
rates will increase the interest expense of the Hoch, Elmore and Leathers plants
and the Salton Sea Plants.

FUTURE RATES

         Each of the Partnership Plants sells electricity to SCE under ISO4
contracts. For the first ten years the price paid for energy under these ISO4s
is fixed and escalates at an average rate of 7.5% per year. The price paid for
capacity (including bonus capacity), on the other hand, is fixed for the entire
30-year term of the ISO4s at approximately 2.5(cent) per kWh (assuming a 90%
nameplate capacity factor). In 1994, the time period weighted average of the
energy payments for each of the Partnership Plants is 10.9(cent) per kWh, which
along with the fixed capacity payments results in a total time period weighted
average price for electricity of approximately 13.4(cent) per kWh.

         Two of the Salton Sea Plants sell electricity to SCE pursuant to ISO4
contracts under which the capacity payments (including bonus capacity) are fixed
for the full 30-year term of the ISO4s at approximately 2.4(cent) per kWh
(assuming a 90% nameplate capacity factor). During the first 10 years of these
two ISO4s, the energy payments are fixed (and do not escalate) at a time period
weighted average of 9.8(cent) per kWh for the 49.8MW Salton Sea Plant 3 and
10.6(cent) per kWh for the 20MW Salton Sea Plant 2, which along with their fixed
capacity payments results in a total time period weighted average price of
electricity of approximately 12.2(cent) and 13(cent) per kWh, respectively.

         Starting in 1996 for the Vulcan plant, 1999 for the Hoch, Elmore and
Salton Sea Plant 3 and 2000 for the Leathers and the Salton Sea Plant 2, the
price for energy under the ISO4 contracts for these plants will automatically
convert to the SCE's then-current published avoided cost of energy. As a result,
the price paid by SCE for a kWh of electricity under these ISO4s will be
composed of the capacity payments per kWh described above and an energy payment
based on SCE's avoided cost of energy. In 1993, SCE's time period weighted
average avoided energy cost was 3.2(cent) per kWh. Thus, revenues generated by
these plants are likely to decline significantly which may have a material
adverse effect on Magma's results of operations.

         The remaining acquired plant (Salton Sea Plant 1) sells electricity to
SCE pursuant to a negotiated contract under which both the capacity and the
energy portions of the revenues adjust quarterly based on a basket of indices.
In 1993, the time period weighted average energy payment was 4.8(cent) per kWh,
which along with the capacity

payment of approximately 1.7(cent) per kWh (assuming a 90% nameplate capacity
factor) results in a total payment of approximately 6.5(cent) per kWh.

THE CECI BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES

         The CECI Board of Directors currently consists of twelve members.
Immediately following the Merger, the CECI Board of Directors will consist of
two additional directors designated by Magma pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement.

         The CECI Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, an
Environmental Committee, an Executive Committee, a Nominating Committee, and a
Stock Option Committee.

         Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (Messrs. Aronson, Brush,
Shackelford and Wit) is empowered to recommend to the CECI Board independent
public accounting firms for selection as auditors of CECI; to make
recommendations to the Board on auditing matters; to examine and make
recommendations concerning the scope of audits; and to review the terms of
transactions between CECI and related entities. The Audit committee met four
times during 1993.

        Compensation  Committee.  The Compensation Committee (Messrs. Brush,
Crowe, Laybourne,  Shackelford  and Wit) is authorized to make  recommendations
to the Board  with   respect  to  executive   salaries   and  bonuses  and
directors' compensation. The Compensation Committee met once during 1993.

("Kiewit") stock. Kiewit Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kiewit. Mr.
Laybourne was of counsel to the Los Angeles office of the law firm Baker &
McKenzie until August 1993. CECI paid Baker & McKenzie a total of approximately
$615,000 in legal fees in 1993. CECI believes that the fees of Baker & McKenzie
are comparable to fees that would be payable for similar work performed by
unaffiliated third parties. Messrs. Shackelford and Wit have not been employees
of CECI or otherwise participated in activities constituting compensation
committee interlocks or insider participation requiring disclosure under this
caption.

         Environmental  Committee.  The Environmental  Committee (Mr.  Aronson,
Ms. Ayres,  Mr. Brush,  Mr. Jaros,  and Adm.  Murphy)  addresses issues and
provides advice concerning  environmental  regulations and compliance.  The
Environmental Committee met three times during 1993.

         Executive  Committee.  The Executive  Committee (Messrs.  Davidson,
Jaros, Scott,  Shackelford  and Sokol) was  established to act for the Board in
between regularly  scheduled  Board  meetings.  The Executive  Committee met
once during 1993.

         Nominating  Committee.  The  Nominating  Committee  (Ms.  Ayres and
Messrs. Brush,  Jaros,  Oakes and Sokol) was  established to provide the CECI
Board with advice regarding potential nominees to the CECI Board. The Nominating
Committee did not meet during 1993.

         Stock Option Committee.  The Stock Option Committee (Messrs.  Laybourne
and Shackelford) was established to provide  disinterested  administration of
CECI's Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Option Plan ("Employee Option Plan")
pursuant to the  requirements of the SEC's Rule 16b-3.  The Stock Option
Committee acted by written consent four times during 1993.

CECI COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
   
         CECI's executive compensation is determined by the CECI Compensation
Committee of the CECI Board. The Compensation Committee usually meets once a
year in December, at which time salaries with respect to the next fiscal year,
and bonuses with respect to the nearly completed year are determined, as well as
making recommendations to the Stock Option Committee for stock option grants as
long-term incentive compensation.

         The CECI Compensation Committee believes that compensation of CECI's
key executives should be sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified and
productive personnel and also to provide meaningful incentives for enhanced
productivity and superior performance. It is the policy of CECI that the three
components of CECI's total compensation package (salary, bonus and stock
options) will be considered in the aggregate in determining the amount of any
one component. CECI seeks to reward achievement of long and short-term
individual performance goals, viewed in the context of both individual power
project and company performance. However, given the unique nature of each
independent development project (particularly considering the context of the
different legal, regulatory, financial, accounting, tax, political and cultural
systems, issues and structures found in various countries in which CECI develops
projects internationally) and the resulting flexible adaptation required in the
duties and tasks performed by CECI's key executives, the CECI Compensation
Committee's criteria for assessing executive performance in any year is
inherently subjective and not subject to specific enumeration of factors,
relative weighting or formulae calculations. CECI did not specifically use any
companies in the same industry as a basis for comparison when establishing
executive compensation.

         During 1994, CECI's executive compensation included a base salary, a
cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options
awarded by the Stock Option Committee under CECI's Employee Option Plan, all
dependent on subjective evaluations of performance as noted above. The cash
bonus compensation of executives is designed to compensate executives for the
CECI Compensation Committee's assessment of superior

                                                        134




     
<PAGE>






performance and meritorious and diligent individual efforts, and such
assessments usually relate to individual and unique projects and, in part also
recognize the individual executive's level of commitment (demonstrated by
subjective factors) to CECI's long-term success. The long term incentive option
grants recommended by the Committee and implemented by the Stock Option
Committee are intended to align the interests of employees and stockholders and
thereby to motivate executives as equity owners to contribute at superior levels
in the future and to allow them to share in increased value developed for CECI
stockholders generally.

         CECI's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Sokol, has an
existing employment agreement with CECI which provides for a base salary of
$350,000 per annum and a minimum annual bonus of $75,000. The employment
contract also provides for the payment of two years base salary and minimum
bonus in the event of termination without cause.

         At its December 1994 meeting, the Compensation Committee determined to
increase Mr. Sokol's base salary to $400,000 per annum and to award Mr. Sokol a
cash bonus of $550,000 in order to reflect Mr. Sokol's superior performance and
significant accomplishments during the year. In addition, at the December 1994
meeting other executives received salary increases, cash bonuses and
recommendations for stock option grants commensurate with the CECI Compensation
Committee's subjective assessment of their relative individual performance.

         In reviewing Mr. Sokol's compensation, the CECI Compensation Committee
subjectively considered Mr. Sokol's significant contribution to the management
of CECI during the year, including the favorable settlement of outstanding
litigation involving CECI's Yuma Project, the issuance of CECI's 10 1/4% Senior
Notes due 2004 (providing CECI with $400 million in proceeds to fund
international projects and acquisitions), CECI's successfully closing financing
and commencing construction on two Philippine geothermal projects aggregating
300 MW, CECI's successfully signing definitive power sales contracts for one new
Philippine power project (the 140 MW Casecnan combined hydroelectric and
irrigation project) and two Indonesian geothermal projects aggregating 800 MW
(the Dieng Project and Patuha Project), CECI's other promising project
development activities and the record electrical production levels at the Coso
Project. Mr. Sokol contributed significantly to CECI's current success and the
CECI Compensation Committee believes his overall compensation was wholly
justified and moreover, expressly approved of by Kiewit Energy, CECI's largest
stockholder (which holds approximately 44% of CECI's outstanding voting stock,
on a fully-diluted basis).

(1)   As required by the Commission, potential values stated are based on the
      prescribed assumption that the CECI Common Stock will appreciate in value
      from the date of grant to the end of the option term (ten years from the
      date of grant) at annualized rates of 5% and 10% (total appreciation of
      63% and 159%), respectively, and therefore are not intended to forecast
      possible future appreciation, if any, in the price of the CECI. The total
      of all stock options granted to employees, including executive officers,
      during fiscal 1993 was approximately 3.59% of total shares outstanding
      during the year. Accordingly, the potential value of such options for all
      optionees under the prescribed assumptions is approximately 3.59% of the
      potential realizable value of all shareholders for the same period under
      the same assumptions. As an alternative to the assumed potential
      realizable values stated above, Commission rules would permit stating the
      present value of such options at the date of grant. Methods of computing
      present value suggested by different authorities can produce significantly
      different results. Moreover, since stock options granted by CECI are not
      transferable, there are no objective criteria by which any computation of
      present value can be verified. Consequently, the CECI's management does
      not believe there is a reliable method of computing the present value of
      such stock options and that all assumptions as to annualized appreciation
      rates are inherently speculative.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         For 1994, directors who were not employees of CECI were paid an annual
retainer fee of $15,000 and a fee of $500 per day for attendance at CECI Board
and committee meetings. Directors who are employees of CECI will not receive
such fees. All directors are reimbursed for their expenses incurred in attending
CECI Board meetings.

DESCRIPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 1986 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         The Employee Option Plan permits the issuance of CECI Common Stock
pursuant to grants of incentive stock options ("ISOs") and non-qualified stock
options ("NSOs") to selected employees, including officers and directors of
CECI, designated by the Compensation Committee. Under the Employee Option Plan,
NSOs may also be granted to non-employee directors, independent contractors or
consultants to CECI.

         The Employee Option Plan is administered by a committee of
disinterested directors appointed by the CECI Board. Members of the committee
are not eligible for the discretionary grant of options under the Employee
Option Plan, but instead receive an automatic annual grant of an NSO to purchase
100 shares of CECI Common Stock at a price equal to 100% of the fair market
value of the CECI Common Stock on the date the NSO is granted.

         The exercise price of ISOs granted under the Employee Option Plan may
not be less than 100% of, and the exercise price of NSOs granted under the
Employee Option Plan may not be less than 85% of, the fair market value of the
CECI Common Stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of any ISO
granted to any holder of more than 10% of the CECI Common Stock and the CECI
Preferred Stock must be at least equal to 110% of fair market value on the grant
date. Options granted under the Employee Option Plan may have terms of up to ten
years and are exercisable in one or more installments as determined by the CECI
Board. Some or all shares of CECI Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of
options under the Employee Option Plan only after such shares have become fully
exercisable and nonforfeitable under the vesting provisions of the option
agreement and other terms and conditions of the Employee Option Plan.

         CECI Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option can be
paid for in cash, or subject to approval by the Committee, any one or a
combination of the following methods: (i) by surrendering shares of CECI Common
Stock to CECI, if the individual is a former employee of CECI and has owned the
shares to be surrendered for at least six months, (ii) by directing CECI to
withhold a number of shares of CECI Common Stock from the option if the
individual is a former employee and has held the option for at least six months,
or (iii) by a promissory note.

         Outstanding options will become immediately vested and exercisable upon
the occurrence of any of the following events (unless the agreement governing
the event provides for the assumption of outstanding options): (i) approval by
the CECI Board of a dissolution of CECI or a merger or consolidation of CECI
where CECI is not the

                                                            139

surviving corporation, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of CECI, or (iii) a change in control of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of all classes of stock of CECI.

         All of the options granted to date under the existing Employee Option
Plan have a term of not more than ten years. The existing Employee Option Plan
terminates April 3, 1996.

         The following table sets forth information with respect to all options
to purchase CECI Common Stock which were granted to certain executive officers,
all current executive officers as a group, all current directors who are not
executive officers as a group, and all current employees as a group, during the
last fiscal year.

1994 STOCK EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

         The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an employee
stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and each eligible employee's right to purchase
shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is taxed in accordance with
Sections 421 and 423 of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

         The following summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon the
employee and CECI with respect to participants in the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan does not purport to be complete and reference is made to the applicable
provisions of the Code.


                                                            140




     
<PAGE>






         1. If the provisions of Section 423 are met, the employee will not
realize taxable income either at the time of election to participate in the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan or at the time the employee purchases shares
pursuant to the Plan.

         2. If the employee disposes of shares of CECI Common Stock after the
later of two years after the election to participate or one year from the date
of receipt of the stock pursuant to the election, then upon such disposition the
employee will recognize as ordinary income an amount equal to the lesser of: (a)
the excess of the fair market value of the shares of CECI Common Stock on the
date of disposition over the amount the employee paid for the shares under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan; or (b) the excess of the fair market value of the
shares at the time of election to participate over the purchase price under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan price. The employee will also recognize a long-term
capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount
realized upon the sale of the CECI Common Stock and (ii) the sum of the amount
the employee paid for the shares plus the amount, if any, taxed to the employee
as ordinary income under (a) or (b) above.

         3. If the employee disposes of shares of CECI Common Stock before the
later of two years after the election to participate or one year from the date
of receipt of the stock pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, then upon
this disposition the employee will recognize as ordinary income an amount equal
to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of CECI Common Stock on the
date of receipt of the stock over the amount the employee paid for the shares.
The employee will also recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to
the difference between (i) the amount realized upon the sale of the shares of
CECI Common Stock and (ii) the sum of the amount the employee paid for the
shares plus the amount, if any, taxed to the employee as ordinary income. If the
employee holds the shares for more than one year, this gain or loss will be a
long-term capital gain or loss.

         4. Generally, CECI will not receive any deduction for federal income
tax purposes with respect to the opportunity to purchase shares or the shares of
CECI Common Stock issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If, however,
the employee disposes of stock acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
before the later of two years after the employee's election to participate or
one year from the date of the transfer of the stock to the employee, CECI will
be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount which is considered
ordinary income to the employee.

         The benefits or amounts that will be received by the participants under
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan cannot be presently calculated, as they are
dependent on each individual's decision regarding the amount of stock to be
purchased and on the price at which the stock is purchased under the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

         Under the terms of his employment contract, Mr. Sokol is entitled to
receive two times his base salary and minimum bonus in the event of the
termination of his employment by CECI other than for cause. If Mr. Sokol were
terminated without cause, the $850,000 would be currently payable.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS

         Stock Purchase and Related Agreements. CECI and Kiewit Energy are
parties to a stock purchase agreement and related agreements, dated as of
February 18, 1991, pursuant to which Kiewit Energy purchased 4,000,000 shares of
CECI Common Stock at $7.25 per share and received options to buy 3,000,000
shares of CECI Common Stock at a price of $9.00 per share exercisable over three
years, and an additional 3,000,000 shares of CECI Common Stock at a price of
$12.00 per share exercisable over five years (subject to customary adjustments).


                                                            141




     
<PAGE>






         In connection with such stock purchase, CECI and Kiewit Energy also
entered into certain other agreements pursuant to which, among other things, (i)
Kiewit Energy and its affiliates agreed, subject to certain conditions, not to
acquire more than 34% of the outstanding CECI Common Stock (the "Standstill
Percentage") for a five-year period, (ii) Kiewit Energy became entitled to
nominate at least three of CECI's directors, (ii) Kiewit Energy agreed that
Kiewit and its affiliates would present to CECI any opportunity to acquire,
develop, operate or own a geothermal resource or geothermal power plant, and
(iv) CECI and Kiewit Energy agreed to use their best efforts to negotiate and
execute a definitive joint venture agreement relating to the development of
certain geothermal properties in Nevada and Utah Messrs. Crowe, Jaros and Scott
are the current CECI Board nominees of Kiewit Energy.

         On June 19, 1991, the CECI Board approved a number of amendments to the
stock purchase agreement and the related agreements. Pursuant to such
amendments, CECI reacquired from Kiewit Energy the rights to develop the Nevada
and Utah properties, and Kiewit Energy agreed to exercise options to acquire
1,500,000 shares of CECI Common Stock at $9.00 per share, providing CECI with
$13.5 million in cash. CECI also extended the term of the $9.00 and $12.00
options to seven years, modified certain of the other terms of these options,
granted to Kiewit Energy an option to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of
the outstanding CECI Common Stock at a price of $11.625 per share exercisable
over ten years (the closing price for the shares on the American Stock Exchange
on June 18, 1991), and increased the Standstill Percentage from 34% to 49%.

         CECI entered into a joint venture agreement with two subsidiaries of
Kiewit, Kiewit Diversified Group, Inc. and Kiewit Construction Group, Inc., on
December 14, 1993. The agreement provides a framework for the joint development
of power projects located in the Philippines, Indonesia and certain other
countries.

         Commencing in 1991, Gilbert Industrial Corporation ("Gilbert"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kiewit, constructed modifications to the geothermal
power production facility owned by a partnership in which CECI holds a 48%
interest. Through the year ended December 31, 1993, CECI's portion of amounts
paid by the partnership to Gilbert under this contract was approximately $3.6
million.

         CECI believes that the terms of the construction contracts described
above are comparable to terms that would be obtained in similar transactions
with unaffiliated third parties.

         Mr. Scott, a director of CECI, is also the Chairman and President of
Kiewit and owns Kiewit  stock.  Mr.  Crowe,  a director of CECI,  is the
Chairman  and President of MFS Communications  Company,  Inc., a subsidiary of
Kiewit and owns Kiewit's  common stock.  Mr.  Jaros,  the Chairman and a
director of CECI, is an officer and director of Kiewit and also owns Kiewit's
common stock.  Mr. Holt, a director of CECI,  provides  consulting and other
services to CECI for an annual fee of $75,000 pursuant to the terms of a
consulting  agreement which expires in 1998.  CECI  believes the terms of this
agreement  are  comparable  to those in similar transactions with unaffiliated
third parties.

         CECI retained the law firm of Baker & McKenzie in 1993. Everett B.
Laybourne, a director, was of counsel to the Los Angeles office of Baker &
McKenzie until August 1993. CECI paid to Baker & McKenzie a total of
approximately $615,636 in legal fees in 1993. CECI believes that the fees
payable to Baker & McKenzie are comparable to fees that would be payable in
similar transactions with unaffiliated third parties.

the Audit Committee, which is comprised of Messrs. Kesseler, Petersen and Roach;
(2) the Compensation Committee which is comprised of Messrs. Kesseler, Pankratz,

         The Audit Committee monitors Magma's basic accounting policies, reviews
Magma's audit and management reports, reviews Magma's systems for internal
control, monitors compliance with Magma's code of conduct and the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, and makes recommendations regarding the appointment of
independent auditors. The Compensation Committee establishes salaries and other
compensation for directors, executive officers and management level officers of
Magma. The Compensation Committee also reviews all employee compensation
programs including approval of merit budgets, establishment of short and
long-term incentive plans, benefits, and compliance with 1934 Act reporting of
Executive Compensation in Magma's proxy. The Option sub-committee of the
Compensation Committee administers the stock incentive programs of Magma with
full power for all grants and awards under the 1987 Stock Option Plan and under
the 1994 Equity Participation Plan. The Environmental, Health and Safety
Committee oversees the environmental compliance and other environmental, health
and safety policies and programs of Magma. The Executive Committee has broad
discretionary authority to make all executive decisions which are not expressly
reserved to the Magma Board by resolution or otherwise. The Finance Committee,
established in April 1994, oversees the financial affairs of Magma and makes
recommendations to the Magma Board as to financial policies formulated by
management of Magma. The Nomination Committee recommends nominees for election
as directors, officers and members of committees, and also from time to time
makes recommendations concerning enlarging or reducing the size of the Magma
Board.

         As of December 31, 1993, the six regularly constituted committees of
the Magma Board were: (1) the Audit Committee, which was comprised of Messrs.
Kesseler and Petersen; (2) the Compensation Committee, which was comprised of
Messrs. Kesseler, Petersen and Shepard; (3) the Environmental, Health and Safety
Committee, which was comprised of Messrs. Knee and Hinrichs; (4) the Executive
Committee, which was comprised of Messrs. Boeker and Pankratz; (5) the
Nomination Committee which was comprised of Messrs. Boeker and Pankratz; and (6)
the Stock Option Committee, which was comprised of Messrs. Petersen and Shepard.

         During 1993 (a) the Magma Board met nine times (including regularly
scheduled, special and telephonic meetings); (b) the Audit Committee met three
times; (c) the Compensation Committee met four times; (d) the Environmental,
Health and Safety Committee met three times; (e) the Executive Committee took
action once by unanimous written consent; (f) the Nomination Committee took
action once by unanimous written consent; (g) the Stock Option Committee met
four times; and (h) a Special Independent Committee met twice. Each incumbent
director who was a director during 1993 attended more than 75% of the Magma
Board meetings and meetings of standing committees of which he was a member.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Directors of Magma may be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in
connection with their attendance at Magma Board and committee meetings. Each
"outside" director receives a $15,000 annual fee, $1,500 for each Magma Board
meeting he attends, and $750 for each committee meeting he attends (if such
committee meeting is not held the same day as a Magma Board meeting). The
members of the Magma Board deemed to be "outside" directors for this purpose
(since they are neither employed by Magma nor affiliated with a major
stockholder of Magma) are currently Messrs. Coleman, Petersen, Roach and
Simpson.

         On December 3, 1993, concurrent with Mr. Arnold L. Johnson's
resignation from the Magma Board, Magma accelerated the remaining payments he
otherwise would have received in 1994 under the agreement Mr. Johnson and Magma
entered into in connection with Mr. Johnson's resignation as an officer of Magma
in June 1991 (the "June 1991 Agreement"). Such accelerated payment to satisfy
Magma's obligations to Mr. Johnson under the June 1991 Agreement amounted to
approximately $1,164,000, which included a cash payment for Mr. Johnson's
supplemental benefit plan accounts. Mr. Shepard receives an annual payment of
$15,000 for serving as a shareholder relations consultant to Magma.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

         There are no family relationships between any director, executive
officer or person nominated or chosen to become a director or executive officer
and any other director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen to
become a director or executive officer of Magma.

FOOTNOTES TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

(1)      Cash bonuses are paid to executive officers of Magma based upon their
         individual contribution to Magma and Magma's overall financial
         performance. Bonuses for 1994 were paid in December 1994 for 1994
         performance.

(2)      Excludes the value of perquisites and other personal benefits.  The incremental cost to Magma of
         providing such perquisites and other personal benefits did not, during 1994, exceed the lesser of
         $50,000 or 10% of annual salary and bonus for the respective individuals named in the Summary
         Compensation Table.
   
(3)      Magma Deferred Stock is subject to vesting based on continuing
         employment, and the holder of such Deferred Stock is not
         entitled to vote or receive dividends until such Deferred
         Stock is vested. The grant date value shown may overstate the
         value of Deferred Stock because it does not take into account
         the negative effect of the lack of transferability, vesting
         restrictions and potential loss of the Deferred Stock upon
         termination of employment.
    
(4)      There are currently no SARs outstanding.

MAGMA BENEFIT PLANS

         Employee Retirement Savings Plan. Magma provides a Retirement Savings
Plan (the "401(k)Plan") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the "Code"). The 401(k) Plan became effective April 1, 1988, and covers
all of Magma's employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, Magma is obligated to
contribute 1% of each participating employee's eligible compensation and to
match 50% of the first 6% of the employee's contributions. In addition, Magma
may also make discretionary contributions. In fiscal year 1994, Magma made no
such discretionary contributions.

         Employees' Pension Plan. The Magma Power Company Pension Plan (the
"Pension Plan") covers all of Magma's full-time regular employees who have
completed one year of service with Magma. The Pension Plan was effective as of
January 1, 1990. It is a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code.
Under the Pension Plan, Magma is obligated to contribute an amount equal to 6%
of the eligible compensation of each of the participants in the Pension Plan.

         Executive Supplemental Plan. Magma maintains a Special Supplemental
Retirement Plan covering a select group of management and upper level employees.
The Supplemental Plan is an unfunded nonqualified plan under Section 401(a) of
the Code. It is designed to receive certain allocations of funds that could not
be contributed to the participants' 401(k) Plan or Pension Plan accounts under
current tax law limitations. Additionally, under the Supplemental Plan,
participating employees may defer income, and Magma may also allocate amounts
such as discretionary contributions.

         1987 Stock Option Plan. The Magma Power Company 1987 Stock Option Plan
(which is a Rule 16b-3 Plan) provides that options to purchase an aggregate of
1,000,000 Shares may be granted to salaried employees and consultants of Magma
and its subsidiaries, as selected by the Stock Option Committee of the Magma
Board (the "Option Committee"). The purchase price which must be paid for stock
in exercise of an option granted under the 1987 Stock Option Plan will be fixed
by the Option Committee when the option is granted, but such price may not be
less than 90% of the fair market value of the stock on the grant date and must
be at least 100% of such fair market value for any option intended to be an
"incentive stock option" under federal tax law.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

         On January 20, 1992, Magma entered into an agreement with Paul M.
Pankratz in connection with his initial employment with Magma. This agreement
provides for the payment of one year's base salary and the immediate vesting of
all previously unvested stock options held by Mr. Pankratz in the event that Mr.
Pankratz' employment with Magma should be terminated without cause after a
change-in-control. This agreement is scheduled to terminate January 31, 1995.

         In November 1993 the Compensation Committee determined that, in order
to attract and retain key executives of Magma, from time to time it would be in
Magma's best interests to enter in to "change in control" agreements with key
executives. The Compensation Committee authorized Magma to enter into agreements
subject to the following parameters:

         (i)   provision for up to two times base and bonus salary;
         (ii)  accelerated vesting of options; and
         (iii) continuation of health and insurance benefits.

         Each of the items referred to in (i) through (iii) would be triggered
by a Change in Control (as defined below) of Magma followed by termination of
the relevant officer's employment by Magma within a specified period, other than
for cause, disability or retirement.

         On September 15, 1994 Magma entered into change in control agreements
with each of its six current executive officers (Paul Pankratz, Chairman of the
Magma Board, Ralph Boeker, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon Peele,
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Ken Kerr, Senior Vice
President--Commercial Development, Trond Aschehoug, Vice President--North
American Operations, and Wallace Dieckmann, Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer) ("Agreement I") and with nine other officers (Tom Hinrichs, Vice
President--Government Affairs, David Olsen, Vice President--Marketing, Jim
Runchey, Vice President--Human Resources and Administration, Russ Tenney, Vice
President--Asian Operations, Steve Jaye, Vice President--Legal Affairs, Mark
Robinson, Vice President--Business Development, Paul Zapf, Corporate Controller,
Joe Asiala, Director--Resource Development and Management, and Jim Turner,
Director--Engineering and Technology) ("Agreement II").

         The agreements provide for certain severance payments to those officers
in the event of the termination of their employment following a Change in
Control of Magma, consistent with the enabling resolutions passed by the
Compensation Committee in the fall of 1993. Each agreement has a term expiring
on December 31, 1997, renewable at the end of such term if mutually agreed to by
the officer and Magma. See "Certain Investment Considerations--Interests of
Certain Persons in the Merger."

MAGMA COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         As members of the Magma Compensation Committee, it is our duty to
oversee Magma's overall compensation programs to ensure compliance with Magma's
compensation philosophy, to evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), review the performance of the executive management group,
establish the compensation level of the CEO, review compensation levels for the
executive management group, and consider related matters.

         The compensation programs of Magma are designed to align executive
officers' compensation with the strategic goals and performance of Magma. The
Compensation Committee strives to develop and administer programs that will:

      o   Attract and retain key executive officers critical to the long-term
success of Magma;

      o   Provide salary and total compensation levels for executive officers
          which are competitive with the median salary and compensation levels
          for Magma's competitors;

      o   Motivate executive officers to enhance long-term stockholder value in
          Magma; and

      o   Integrate Magma's compensation programs with its strategic planning
          and measurement processes.

         The compensation philosophy of Magma, which is endorsed by the Magma
Compensation Committee, is to provide salary and total compensation levels
comparable to the median of Magma's compensation peer group, specifically, those
publicly traded independent power producers and growth companies similar to
Magma. This peer group includes substantially all of the members of the Industry
Peer Group reflected in the 1993 Proxy Performance graph plus an additional
group of publicly traded technology growth companies with annual revenues,
growth history, and other performance and business characteristics similar to
Magma but which may not directly compete with Magma in its independent power
business. The compensation philosophy also calls for a substantial portion of
the annual compensation of each executive officer to relate to, and be
contingent upon the performance of Magma and the individual contribution of such
executive officer to such performance. As a result, much of an executive
officer's compensation is "at risk" with annual incentive bonus compensation
amounting to a significant portion of total cash compensation.

         The Compensation Committee retained in 1993 the services of an outside
executive compensation consulting firm to assist in the performance of its
various duties. The results of the consulting firm's study disclosed that
Magma's executive compensation levels, base salary, annual and long-term
incentives, were below the median of its peer group. As such, the Committee
approved a program to bring compensation levels in line with its philosophy over
a two-year period. The Committee takes into account Magma's performance as well
as the competitiveness of Magma's compensation levels to the comparable levels
paid by Magma's compensation peer group.

         The base salary and target bonus for Magma's newly appointed Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Ralph W. Boeker, were based principally on his rights
under his offer of employment as President of Magma as detailed in the letter
dated January 20, 1993 (the "January 20, 1993 Letter"). On January 11, 1994, the
Compensation Committee recommended to the Magma Board of Directors, and the
Magma Board of Directors approved, that Mr. Bocker's base annual salary be
increased to $300,000 concurrent with his appointment as Magma's Chief Executive
Officer. This increase was based on the compensation survey data provided by
Magma's executive compensation consulting firm and is in line with Magma's
compensation philosophy to compensate at the median level of its peer group. The
January 20, 1993 Letter also provided for (i) the grant by the Stock Option

                                                        151

Committee to Mr. Bocker of 30,000 options under Magma's 1987 Stock Option Plan
with an exercise price of 90% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the grant date and with three years vesting and (ii) the grant of 5,000 shares
of restricted Common Stock vesting 1,000 shares on date of hire and 1,000 shares
per year on the succeeding four anniversaries of the date of hire. The terms of
the January 20, 1993 Letter were designed to provide Mr. Boeker with total
compensation levels comparable to the median of Magma's compensation peer group.

         The base salary and target bonus for Magma's former Chief Executive
Officer and current Chairman of the Magma Board of Directors, Mr. Paul M.
Pankratz, were unchanged from the levels reported last year.

         Under Magma's annual management incentive bonus plan, bonuses are based
one-half on the individual's performance and one-half on the performance of
Magma, with target bonuses of approximately 35% to 50% of total cash
compensation, except in extraordinary circumstances. Magma's performance for
purposes of compensation decisions is measured under the annual incentive bonus
plan against goals established for a given fiscal year by the Compensation
Committee. The 1993 goals consisted of performance objectives for both the
individuals and Magma. Company performance was measured by actual 1993 income
before taxes (net income plus provision for taxes) compared to targeted 1993
income before taxes ("IBT"). In 1993 Magma materially exceeded the targeted IBT
goal and in 1992, Magma substantially met the targeted IBT objective. The
Committee evaluated individual performance, so that, on average, together with
the over achievement on Company performance, total 1993 annual incentive bonuses
represented approximately 43% of total cash compensation for the executive
officers. In assessing the individual performances of Messrs. Pankratz and
Boeker, the Committee was influenced by (a) the successful integration of the
acquired geothermal assets from Union Oil of California into Magma's operation,
(b) the successful consummation of an energy conversion agreement with the
Philippine National Oil Company for a 231 MW(gross) geothermal generating
facility on the island of Leyte, and (c) Magma's record results in 1993 with net
income up 51% and revenues 53% greater than the previous year.

         In addition to the annual incentive bonus plan, Magma's 1987 Stock
Option Plan is an integral part of Magma's long-term compensation program. Such
long-term compensation is designed to encourage and create ownership and
retention of Magma's stock by key employees and to provide incentives to
increase the profits and long-term profitable growth of Magma. This program is
designed to align the long range interests of key employees with those of the
stockholders. The 1987 Stock Option Plan is administered by the Option
Sub-Committee of the Compensation Committee. In November of 1993, under the 1987
Stock Option Plan, Mr. Boeker was granted by the Option Sub-Committee a
performance award of 35,000 options, and Mr. Pankratz was granted by the Option
Sub-Committee a performance award of 48,000 options, all at an exercise price of
90% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date. Such options
were based on an evaluation of these executives' performance and their
contributions to Magma, their options granted previously, and the long-term
compensation and total compensation levels provided that Magma's compensation
peer group. Such options fully vest one year after the grant date. In addition,
Jon R. Peele received 7,500 options fully vested after one year from the date of
grant. These option grants were structured to provide these executive officers
with total compensation levels comparable to the median of Magma's compensation
peer group.

                                             Roger L. Kesseler, Chairman

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         The members of the  Compensation  Committee  during 1993 were Mr.
Kesseler, Mr.  Petersen  and Mr.  Shepard.  As of the  Record  Date,  the
members  of the Compensation Committee are Messrs.  Kesseler,  Pankratz, Roach
and Shepard, with Messrs.  Roach and Shepard serving as members of the Option
Sub-Committee.  Mr. Shepard is a former Vice President and Treasurer of Magma.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
   
         Dow Services. Under two technical services agreements between Magma and
Dow, Dow agreed to furnish certain technical and other services in connection
with the operation of Magma's geothermal power plants. Magma, in turn, agreed to
pay for such services in cash payments or through the issuance of previously
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. In 1993, Magma entered into a
new agreement with Dow (the "1993 Technical Services Agreement") which amends,
restates and supersedes the prior technical services agreements. Under the 1993
Technical Services Agreement, Dow has agreed to provide technical services for
Magma's geothermal power plants until January 1, 2000. Magma, in turn, has
agreed to make payments for such technical services in the amounts of $575,000
for 1993 and $550,000 for 1994 and thereafter in annual amounts reduced by
$50,000 each year to $300,000 for 1999. Such annual payments entitle Magma each
year to receive technical services from Dow equivalent in value to such year's
payment, invoiced at Dow's internal interdepartmental charge rates. Magma may
obtain additional technical services from Dow (if available), invoiced and paid
for by Magma at such scheduled rates. Magma is also entitled to receive from Dow
technical services for additional power plants by increasing the annual payments
to Dow by $50,000 for each such plant, subject to certain limitations. Payments
under the 1993 Technical Services Agreement are to be made exclusively in cash
- -- there is no provision for payment in Shares. In 1993, Magma paid Dow $575,000
under the 1993 Technical Services Agreement. In addition, in March 1994 Magma
signed a five-year agreement (the "1994 Engineering and Construction Management
Services Agreement") with Dow Engineering Company ("DEC"). Under the Agreement,
DEC will provide engineering, procurement and construction management services
to Magma, including process engineering, project design, procurement and
construction management services for Magma's existing and future geothermal
power projects in North America. Magma believes that the 1993 Technical Services
Agreement and the 1994 Engineering and Construction Management Services
Agreement are on terms at least as favorable to Magma as would be available from
an unaffiliated third party.
    
         Dow Options. In October 1993 Magma acquired at a discount Dow's option
to purchase for an exercise price of $21 per share two million shares of Magma
Common Stock. Magma purchased the options for 857,143 shares of newly issued and
unregistered shares of its stock (the "Dow Shares"). The closing price of
Magma's common stock on the date the acquisition was consummated was $38.50 per
share. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. was retained by an independent committee of
Magma's Board of Directors to assist in valuing the option. Under the Option
Surrender Agreement, Dow agreed not to sell the newly issued shares before
September 30, 1994 (the "Lock-up"). The purposes for this acquisition included
lessening the magnitude of the overhang caused by the two million shares subject
to the option. The newly issued shares did not materially impact Magma's 1993
earnings per share calculations since the option shares were already reflected
in the number of shares used in calculating primary earnings per share.

         On July 26, 1994, Magma agreed to release Dow from the Lock-up in
consideration of Dow's agreement to (i) sell the Dow Shares in a single block
transaction in a private placement outside of the Nasdaq National Market, (ii)
cause the purchaser of the Dow Shares to agree in writing to refrain from
reselling the Dow Shares until after September 29, 1994 and (iii) give Magma the
opportunity to review the final form of any Dow public disclosure regarding this
matter at least three business days prior to public release or filing.

         On September 12, 1994, Dow sold 857,143 shares of Common Stock to
Garantia Banking Limited, a Bahamian corporation ("Garantia"), for
$24,214,289.75. On September 12, 1994, Dow acquired an option (the "Option") to
purchase 857,143 shares of Common Stock from Garantia for an exercise price of
$24,214,289.75. The Option was acquired in consideration of $150,000. According
to a filing by Dow with the SEC, the purpose of this transaction was to match
Dow's book and tax basis for the Dow Shares. On September 30, 1994, Dow
exercised the Option in full and reacquired the 857,143 shares from Garantia for
$24,214,289.75.

         Following these transactions, Dow holds over 5 million Shares,
approximately 4 million of which are currently held in escrow for exchangeable
notes.

         1993 Stock Offering. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, Dow
requested that Magma facilitate a registered public offering by Dow of certain
of its Shares. Accordingly, Magma filed, and in June 1993 the Commission
declared effective, a registration statement covering the sale by Dow of
3,635,000 Shares and the sale by J. P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated of 365,000
shares of Company Common Stock. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement,
Magma paid the first $100,000 of its accounting, printing, legal and other
expenses of the offering, and the two selling shareholders paid the remainder of
such expenses.
    
         1991 Stock Offering. In April 1991, Magma registered 4,000,005 Shares
(the "Registered Shares") owned by Dow. The Registered Shares were placed in
escrow by Dow for delivery upon exchange of the Notes. The Notes are
exchangeable at any time into shares of Common Stock at an exchange rate of
26,6667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Dow retains the right
to vote the shares placed in escrow. A registration statement covering the
Registered Shares (the "Registration Statement") was filed by Magma on behalf of
Dow pursuant to existing registration rights agreements between Magma and Dow.
Magma has agreed to keep the Registration Statement current until the earlier of
(i) the maturity of the Notes in 2001 or (ii) the date on which all of the Notes
have been exchanged or redeemed. Magma and Dow have agreed to indemnify each
other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act in
connection with the Registration Statement and another registration statement
concurrently filed by Dow in connection with its issuance of the Notes.

         Aschehoug Home Purchase. In September 1994, Magma sold a residential
home to Mr. Aschehoug and his wife (the "Aschehougs") for $250,000. The purchase
price of $250,000 was determined by an independent appraisal of the property.
The Aschehougs financed the purchase with a 90-day note (the "Note") from Magma
in the amount of $200,000 bearing interest at a rate of 6.49% per annum. In
November 1994, the Aschehougs refinanced the Note and paid Magma in full.
   
         Kerr Relocation Loan. In July 1993, Magma made an interest-free
employee relocation loan (the "Loan") to Mr. Kerr and his wife (the "Kerrs") in
the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of financing the purchase of a new
residence. The Loan is secured by a deed of trust granted by the Kerrs to Magma
relating to their new residence. Mr. Kerr is obligated to make annual reduction
payments on the Loan in an amount equal to one-half the annual cash bonus paid
to him for services rendered in the preceding fiscal year, less any taxable
portion thereof. Currently, $77,000 remains outstanding under the Loan and the
final balance is due and payable in full on July 16, 1998.
    
         Halliburton Services. Halliburton Energy Services ("Halliburton
Energy") provides Magma Operating Company, a subsidiary of Magma, with various
maintenance services for Magma's well fields. Mr. Coleman is the Executive Vice
President and General Counsel of Halliburton Company, the parent of Halliburton
Energy. While the terms by which Halliburton Energy provides services are
currently determined on a case-by-case basis, Magma Operating Company is
considering negotiating a long term maintenance service agreement with
Halliburton Energy. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994 and for
fiscal 1993, Magma

Operating Company made payments to Halliburton Energy of approximately $225,000
and $700,000, respectively.


                       DESCRIPTION OF CECI CAPITAL STOCK

CECI COMMON STOCK

         As of September 30, 1994, there were 32,229,584 shares of CECI Common
Stock outstanding (not including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock
options and upon conversion of all outstanding shares of CECI Preferred Stock).
The holders of CECI Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the CECI
Common Stock and holders of the CECI Preferred Stock vote together as a single
class on all matters other than certain matters affecting the class of CECI
Preferred Stockholders or upon the occurrence of any default in the payment of
any required dividends to the CECI Preferred Stockholders. Subject to
preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding CECI Preferred Stock,
holders of CECI Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as
may be declared by CECI's Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CECI,
holders of CECI Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any
outstanding CECI Preferred Stock. Subject to certain exceptions, Kiewit Energy
has the right to purchase its pro rata share of any securities convertible into
CECI Common Stock or any other equity securities offered or sold by CECI at a
price less than the greater of the current market price of the CECI Common Stock
or the exercise price of certain options granted to Kiewit Energy. No other
holders of CECI Common Stock have preemptive rights and holders of CECI Common
Stock have no rights to convert their CECI Common Stock into any other
securities. The outstanding shares of CECI Common Stock are, and the CECI Common
Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Debentures will be, fully paid and
nonassessable.

         As of September 30, 1994, CECI had outstanding $100,000,000 principal
amount of 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July 31, 2000 (the
"Convertible Debentures"). The Convertible Debentures are convertible into
shares of CECI Common Stock at any time at or prior to maturity at a conversion
price of $22.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events, including
(i) dividends (and other distributions) payable in CECI Common Stock on any
class of capital stock of CECI, (ii) subdivisions, combinations and
reclassifications of CECI Common Stock, (iii) the issuance to all holders of
CECI Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase CECI Common Stock at less than the then current market price and (iv)
distributions to all holders of CECI Common Stock of evidence of indebtedness of
CECI or assets (including shares of its capital stock (other than CECI Common
Stock) and other securities, but excluding those rights, warrants, dividends and
distributions referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) above, subdivisions of shares
referred to in clause (ii) above and dividends and distributions paid in cash
out of funds legally available for distribution to stockholders under the laws
of CECI's state of incorporation). In addition to the foregoing adjustments,
CECI will be permitted to make such reductions in the conversion price as it
considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax
purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the
holders of the CECI Common Stock.

         On December 1, 1988, CECI distributed a dividend of one Preferred Share
Purchase Right (a "CECI Right") for each outstanding share of CECI Common Stock.
The CECI Rights are not exercisable until ten days after a person or group
acquires, or has the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
CECI Common Stock or announces a tender or purchase offer for 30% or more of
CECI Common Stock. Each CECI Right entitles the holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, no par value (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"), for $52.00. The CECI Rights may be redeemed by
CECI's Board

of Directors up to ten days after an event triggering the distribution of
certificates for the CECI Rights. The CECI Rights Plan pursuant to which such
CECI Rights were issued was amended in February 1991 so that Kiewit Energy's
purchase of CECI Common Stock would not trigger the exercise of such Rights. The
CECI Rights will expire, unless previously redeemed or exercised, on November
30, 1998. The CECI Rights are automatically attached to, and trade with, each
share of CECI Common Stock.

CECI PREFERRED STOCK

         The CECI Board has the authority to issue 1,534,009 shares of CECI
Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the
designation of such series, without any further action by the stockholders. The
issuance of additional shares of CECI Preferred Stock may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of CECI without further
action by the stockholders. The issuance of additional shares of CECI Preferred
Stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of
the holders of CECI Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to
others. CECI has no present plans to issue any additional shares of CECI
Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 1994, 1,247 shares of CECI Preferred Stock
were outstanding.

         The CECI Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 8.125%, commencing
March 15, 1992 through the conversion date or December 15, 2003. The dividends,
which are cumulative, are currently payable quarterly in kind through March 15,
1995 and in cash on subsequent dividend dates.


                       DESCRIPTION OF MAGMA CAPITAL STOCK

         The authorized capital stock of Magma includes 30,000,000 Shares and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Magma
Preferred Stock"). As of September 30, 1994, there were 24,042,915 Shares issued
and outstanding and no shares of Magma Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

THE SHARES

         The holders of Shares are entitled to one vote per share for the
election of the directors of Magma and for all other matters to be voted upon by
the stockholders of Magma. The holders of Shares have no cumulative voting
rights.

         The holders of Shares are entitled to share ratably in such dividends
and other distributions as may be declared by Magma's Board of Directors and
paid by Magma out of funds legally available therefor (subject to prior rights
of Magma Preferred Stock, if any). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of Magma, holders of Shares are entitled to share ratably in the
assets available for distribution to such stockholders after the payment of all
prior claims.

         Holders of Shares have no redemption, preemptive or subscription
rights, nor do they have any conversion privileges.

MAGMA PREFERRED STOCK

         The authorized capital stock of Magma includes 1,000,000 shares of
Magma Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, none of which is issued or
outstanding. Magma's Board is authorized to issue, from time to

                                                        156

time by resolution and generally without further action by the stockholders of
Magma, shares of Magma Preferred Stock in one or more series and to determine,
subject to the provisions of Nevada law, the voting powers, designations,
preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights (including rights, if
any, with respect to dividends, conversion privileges, redemption, sinking funds
and liquidation) of such series of Magma Preferred Stock.


                        COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS


         Upon consummation of the Merger and assuming CECI elects to pay the
Merger Consideration with a combination of cash and CECI Common Stock, the
stockholders of Magma will become stockholders of CECI and their rights will be
governed by CECI's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which differ in
certain material respects from Magma's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. As
stockholders of CECI, the rights of former Magma stockholders will be governed
by the DGCL instead of by the NGCL. Delaware is the jurisdiction of
incorporation of CECI and Nevada is the jurisdiction of incorporation of Magma.
   
         The following is a comparison of the material provisions of the DGCL
and CECI's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, on the one hand, and the
NGCL and Magma's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, on the other. Copies of
CECI's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are available for inspection at
the offices of CECI and copies will be sent to the holders of Magma Common Stock
or CECI Common Stock upon request. Copies of Magma's Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws are available for inspection at the principal executive offices of
Magma and copies will be sent to holders of Magma Common Stock upon request.

         DIRECTORS. Both the DGCL and the NGCL provide that a corporation's
board of directors shall consist of at least one member and that the number of
directors may be fixed in either the corporation's certificate of incorporation
or articles of incorporation, as the case may be, or in the bylaws. CECI's
Bylaws provide that the CECI Board shall consist of 13 directors and shall be
classified into three classes of directors each serving three-year terms.
Magma's Articles of Incorporation provide that the number of directors
constituting the Magma Board will be fixed from time to time by resolution of
Magma's Board or Magma's stockholders, and that the number of directors may not
be less than three nor more than 15. Magma's Board currently consists of eight
directors and is also classified into three classes of directors each serving
three-year terms.
    
         REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS; FILLING VACANCIES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Under the DGCL, any director of a classified board of directors may be removed
only for cause by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an
election of directors. Under the NGCL, any director may be removed from office
upon the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the
voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled. Although CECI's
Certificate of Incorporation is silent as to the filling of vacancies on the
CECI Board, its Bylaws provide that any director or the entire CECI Board may be
removed only for cause by the holders of not less than two-thirds of shares
entitled to vote at an election of directors. Magma's Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws are silent as to the removal of directors.

         Both the DGCL and the NGCL generally provide that all vacancies on the
board of directors, including vacancies caused by an increase in the number of
authorized directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors
even if they are less than a quorum. Both CECI's and Magma's Bylaws follow this
language and further provide that any such elected director shall hold office
for a term expiring at the annual meeting at which the term of the class to
which he has been elected expires.

     LIMITATION  ON  DIRECTORS'  LIABILITY.  Both the DGCL and the NGCL permit a
corporation   to  include  a  provision  in  its   certificate  or  articles  of
incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director

                                                        157




     
<PAGE>






for damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty subject to certain
limitations. CECI's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will
not be personally liable to CECI or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, although it does not eliminate the
liability of the director for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
law, the unlawful repurchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful
dividends or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal
benefit. Magma's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director or officer of
Magma shall not be personally liable to Magma or its stockholders for damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, but do not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director or an officer for (a) acts or omissions
which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or (b)
the unlawful payment of distributions.

         INDEMNIFICATION. Both the DGCL and the NGCL permit a corporation to
indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents for actions taken in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action,
which they had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Both states' laws
provide that a corporation may advance expenses of defense (upon receipt of a
written undertaking to reimburse the corporation if indemnification is not
appropriate) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses, including
attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and both states permit a
corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and
officers. Both the DGCL and the NGCL provide that indemnification may not be
made for any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent a court determines
that the person is entitled to indemnify for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Both CECI's Bylaws and Magma's Bylaws provide indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

         RESTRICTIONS ON BUSINESS COMBINATIONS/CORPORATE CONTROL. The DGCL
contains provisions restricting the ability of a corporation to engage in
business combinations with an interested stockholder. Under the DGCL, except
under certain circumstances, a corporation is not permitted to engage in a
business combination with any interested stockholder for a three-year period
following the date such stockholder became an interested stockholder. The DGCL
defines an interested stockholder, generally, as a person who owns 15% or more
of the outstanding shares of such corporation's voting stock. Kiewit Energy
would be considered an interested stockholder. However, because Kiewit Energy
has been an interested stockholder for more than three years, the moratorium on
a business combination involving Kiewit Energy does not apply.

         Certain provisions of the NGCL disallow the exercise of voting rights
with respect to "control shares" of an "issuing corporation" held by an
"acquiring person," unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote
of the disinterested stockholders or if, prior to the acquiring person's
acquisition of the control shares, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of
the issuing corporation state that such provisions of the NGCL do not apply to
the issuing corporation. Magma's Bylaws contain such a statement with regard to
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

         The NGCL also contains provisions restricting the ability of a
corporation to engage in any combination with an interested stockholder (i)
unless three years have elapsed since the time such interested stockholder
becomes such and the combination complies with certain fair price specifications
or (ii) unless the board of directors of the corporation approved of the
interested stockholder's acquisition of shares. The NGCL defines an interested
stockholder, generally, as a person who owns 10% or more of the outstanding
shares of such corporation's voting stock. CECI would be considered an
interested stockholder of Magma under the NGCL. However, because the Magma Board
approved the acquisition of the Shares by CECI, the provisions of the NGCL
restricting a combination involving CECI do not apply.

         STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT: SPECIAL MEETINGS. Under the DGCL
and the NGCL, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or
Articles of Incorporation, as the case may be, stockholders may take action
without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, upon the written
consent of stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize the proposed action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote were present and voted. CECI's Certificate of
Incorporation provides that any action that may be taken or is required to be
taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may not be taken without
a meeting. Magma's Bylaws have a similar provision.

         CECI's Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be
called by the CECI Board or the President. Magma's Bylaws provide that special
meetings of the stockholders may be called by the President or Secretary of
Magma and must be called by the President or Secretary at the request, in
writing, of a majority of Magma's Board or stockholders owning at least a
majority of Magma's shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

         AMENDMENT OR REPEAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS.
Under the DGCL and the NGCL, unless the Certificate of Incorporation or Articles
of Incorporation, as the case may be, or Bylaws otherwise provide, amendments to
the Certificate of Incorporation or Articles of Incorporation generally require
the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to
vote thereon, and if such amendments would increase or decrease the number of
authorized shares of any class or series or the par value of such shares or
would adversely affect the shares of such class or series, the holders of the
outstanding shares of a class shall be entitled to vote as a class to approve
the amendment. CECI's Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all shares of CECI
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a
single class to amend its Certificate of Incorporation. CECI's Bylaws provide
that CECI's Board may amend its Bylaws by a majority vote and that CECI
stockholders may amend its Bylaws by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the voting power of all shares of CECI entitled to vote, except when
stockholders are required to vote by class, in which event two-thirds of the
voting power of that class shall be required.

         Magma's Articles of Incorporation provide that Magma reserves the right
to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in the Articles of
Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders in the Articles of Incorporation are subject
to such reservation. Magma's Articles of Incorporation provide that the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
common stock shall be required to amend, alter, change, repeal, or adopt any
provision inconsistent with, certain provisions of its Articles of Incorporation
that concern directors. Magma's Bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of a
majority the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote thereon or a majority of
the entire Magma Board shall be required to amend its Bylaws.

         CUMULATIVE VOTING. Under both the DGCL and the NGCL, cumulative voting
of stock applies only when so provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or
the Articles of Incorporation, as the case may be, of a corporation. Neither
CECI's Certificate of Incorporation nor Magma's Articles of Incorporation
provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

         STOCKHOLDER VOTE FOR MERGERS. Except with respect to certain mergers
between parent and subsidiary corporations, under both the DGCL and the NGCL, a
merger generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote thereon. Under the DGCL and the NGCL, holders of stock
which is not by its terms entitled to vote on such a transaction are entitled to
notice of the meeting at which the proposed transaction is considered. Neither
the DGCL nor the NGCL requires a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation
in a merger, however, if (a) the merger agreement does not amend the existing
certificate of incorporation, (b) each outstanding or treasury share of the
surviving corporation before the merger is

                                                        159




     
<PAGE>






unchanged after the merger, and (c) the number of shares to be issued by the
surviving corporation in a merger does not exceed 20% of the shares outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance.
   
         DISSENTERS' RIGHTS IN MERGERS. Both the DGCL and the NGCL provide that
stockholders have the right, in some circumstances, to dissent from certain
corporate reorganizations and to instead demand payment of the fair cash value
of their shares. Unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides
otherwise, the DGCL does not provide for such dissenters' rights of appraisal
with respect to (a) a sale-of-assets reorganization, (b) a merger or
consolidation by a corporation, the shares of which are either listed on a
national securities exchange or widely-held (by more than 2,000 stockholders),
if stockholders receive shares of the surviving corporation or of such a listed
or widely-held corporation; or (c) stockholders of a corporation surviving a
merger if no vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation is required
to approve the merger. Like the DGCL, the NGCL generally does not provide for
dissenters' rights with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation,
the shares of which are either listed on a national securities exchange or held
by at least 2,000 stockholders of record if stockholders receive shares of the
surviving corporation or of a listed or widely-held (at least 2,000
stockholders) corporation ("widely-held stock"); however, both the DGCL and NGCL
have certain exceptions to such rule and the principal difference between such
exceptions is that under the NGCL holders do not have appraisal rights if they
receive cash, either exclusively or in addition to surviving corporation stock
or widely-held stock.
    
         DIVIDENDS. Under both the DGCL and the NGCL, corporations may pay
dividends out of surplus, or if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the
fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

          Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the securities

                                    EXPERTS

          The annual consolidated financial statements of CECI and subsidiaries
included in this Information Statement have been audited by Deloitte & Touche
LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report (which report expresses an
unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to
California Energy Company, Inc.'s adoption effective January 1, 1993, of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes") which are included herein, and have been so included in reliance upon
the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and
auditing.

          With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the
period ended September 30, 1994 of CECI and subsidiaries, which is included
herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP have applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for a review of such information. However, as stated in
their report included herein, they did not audit and they do not express an
opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of
reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of
the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are
not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of
1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because
that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared
or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Section 7 and 11 of the Act.


          The consolidated balance sheets of Magma and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 and the Statement of Net
Assets Acquired as of March 31, 1993 and the Historical Summaries of Gross
Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1992 of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests, included in
this Information Statement have been included herein in reliance on the reports
of Coopers & Lybrand, independent accountants, given on the authority of that
firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
   
                             STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

         Any proposal which a Magma stockholder intended to present at the Magma
1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (if the Merger has not been consummated
prior to the date the meeting is to be held) must have been received by Magma no
later than January 11, 1995 in order to be considered for inclusion, if
appropriate, in Magma's proxy statement relating to such meeting.  Any such
proposal should have been directed to the Secretary, Magma Power Company, 4365
Executive Drive, Suite 900, San Diego, California 92121.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR PERIOD ENDING
DECEMBER 31, 1993

Independent Auditors' Report


Board of Directors and Shareholders
California Energy Company, Inc.
Omaha, Nebraska


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of California
Energy Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 California Energy Company, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 8, the consolidated financial statements give effect
to the Company's adoption, effective January 1, 1993, of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (For the three years ended December 31, 1993)
          (Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)


1.       BUSINESS

         CECI was formed in 1971. It is primarily engaged in the exploration for
and development of geothermal resources and conversion of such resources into
electrical power and steam for sale to electric utilities, and the development
of other environmentally responsible forms of power generation.

         CECI has organized several partnerships and joint ventures (herein
referred to as Coso Joint Ventures) in order to develop geothermal energy at the
China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, Coso Hot Springs, China Lake, California.
Collectively, the projects undertaken by these Coso Joint Ventures are referred
to as the Coso Project. CECI is the operator and holds interests between 46.4%
and 50% in the Coso Joint Ventures after payout. Payout is achieved when a Coso
Joint Venture has returned the initial capital to the Coso Joint Venturers. In
addition, CECI is exploring geothermal resources in Northern California,
Washington and Oregon (collectively, the Pacific Northwest). In January 1991,
CECI acquired a power plant and an interest in steam fields in Nevada and Utah
(see Note 4--Nevada and Utah Properties). In 1992, CECI entered into the natural
gas-fired electrical generation market through the purchase of a development
opportunity in Yuma, Arizona. Commercial operation of the Yuma project will
commence in 1994. In 1993, CECI started developing a number of international
power project opportunities where private power generating programs have been
initiated, including the Philippines and Indonesia.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CECI, its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its proportionate share of the Coso Joint
Ventures in which it has invested. All significant inter-enterprise transactions
and accounts have been eliminated.

         INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH. Investments other than restricted cash
are primarily commercial paper and money market securities. The restricted cash
balance includes such securities and mortgage backed securities, and is mainly
composed of the Coso Joint Ventures' debt service reserve funds. The debt
service reserve funds are legally restricted to their use and require the
maintenance of specific minimum balances. The carrying amount of the investments
approximates the fair value based on quoted market prices as provided by the
financial institution which holds the investments.

         WELL, RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION COSTS. CECI 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 and the cost of drilling and equipping production wells, as well as
directly attributable administrative and interest costs, are capitalized and
amortized over their estimated useful lives when production commences. The
estimated useful lives of production wells are ten years each; exploration costs
and development costs, other than production wells, are generally amortized over
the weighted average remaining term of CECI's power and steam purchase
contracts. For purposes of current period visibility and disclosure, all such
costs are identified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as they are
incurred.

     DEFERRED  WELL AND  REWORK  COSTS.  Well  rework  costs  are  deferred  and
amortized  over the estimated  period between  reworks.  These deferred costs of
$1,305 and $1,592 at December 31, 1993 and 1992,

                                    F-7

respectively, are included in other assets. Currently, both production and
injection well reworks are amortized over twelve months.

         FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION. The cost of major additions and
betterments are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that
do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.

         Depreciation of the operating power plants is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives resulting in a composite
rate of depreciation of approximately 2.67% per annum. Depreciation of
furniture, fixtures and equipment, which are recorded at cost, is computed on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which range from three to ten years.

         CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST AND DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS. Prior to the
commencement of operations, interest is capitalized on the costs of the plants
and geothermal resource development to the extent incurred. Capitalized interest
and other deferred charges are amortized over the lives of the related assets.

         Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related
financing. Loan fees are amortized using the implicit interest method; other
deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was approximately $1,954
and $950, respectively.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Revenues are recorded based upon service rendered and
electricity and steam delivered to the end of the month.

         MANAGEMENT FEE AND INTEREST REVENUE RECOGNITION. CECI charges the Coso
Joint Ventures management fees, operator fees and interest on outstanding
advances. Recognition of fees and interest relating to power plants and resource
development of the Coso Joint Ventures in which CECI has invested is deferred
until each Coso Joint Venture commences operations. Revenue previously deferred
is amortized over the lives of the related assets of the Coso Joint Venture as
each Coso Joint Venture becomes operational.

     DEFERRED  INCOME  TAXES.  On January 1, 1993,  CECI  adopted  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (FAS 109),  "Accounting for Income Taxes."
The adoption of FAS 109 changes  CECI's  method of  accounting  for income taxes
from the deferred method as required by Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No.
11 to an asset and liability approach.

         NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE. Earnings per common share are based on the
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period computed using the treasury stock method.

         CASH FLOWS. The statement of cash flows classifies changes in cash
according to operating, investing, or financing activities. Investing activities
include capital expenditures incurred in connection with the power plants,
wells, resource development and exploration costs. CECI considers all investment
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Restricted cash is not considered a cash equivalent.

         RECLASSIFICATION. Certain amounts in the fiscal 1992 and 1991 financial
statements and supporting footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform
to the fiscal 1993 presentation. Such reclassification did not impact previously
reported net income or retained earnings.

3.       INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

         In January 1993, the Coso Joint Ventures entered into five year deposit
interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert a notional deposit,
CECI's portion of the balance is $20,300 (restricted cash and investments), from
a variable rate to a fixed rate. CECI's proportion of the deposit amount
accretes annually to a maximum amount of approximately $29,300 in 1996. Under
the agreements, which mature on January 11, 1998, the Coso Joint Ventures make
semiannual payments to the counter party at variable rates based on LIBOR, reset
and compounded every three months, and in return receive payments based on a
fixed rate of 6.34%. The effective LIBOR rate ranged from 3.25% to 3.375% during
1993 and was 3.375% at December 31, 1993. The counter party to this agreement is
a large multinational financial institution. CECI's proportionate share of the
carrying amount, representing accrued interest receivable, and the fair value of
the swap agreements are $277 and $1,281, respectively. The fair value is based
on quoted market prices provided by the counter party to the swap.

         In September 1993, CECI entered into a three year deposit interest rate
swap agreement, which effectively converts a notional deposit balance of $75,000
from a variable rate to a fixed rate. CECI makes semiannual payments to the
counter party at effectively the LIBOR rate, reset every six months, and in
return receives payments based on a fixed rate of 4.87%. The counter party to
this agreement is the same counter party to the Coso Joint Ventures. The
carrying amount is $286, representing accrued interest receivable. The fair
value of the interest rate swap is currently negative in the amount of $642,
which is based on quoted market prices provided by the counter party to the swap
and assumes CECI closes out the swap agreement prior to the stated maturity.

          OPERATING FACILITIES.  The Coso operating facilities comprise CECI's
proportionate share of the assets of three of its Joint Ventures; Coso Finance
Partners (Navy I Joint Venture), Coso Energy Developers

                                      F-9

(BLM Joint Venture), and Coso Power Developers (Navy II Joint Venture). With
respect to the Coso Project, distributions from its project accounts are made
semiannually to each Coso Joint Venture partner for profit sharing under a
prescribed calculation subject to mutual agreement by the partners and
compliance with the Coso Joint Ventures' financing documents. As of December 31,
1993, payout had only been reached on Units 2 and 3 of the Navy I power plant.

                  i. NAVY I PLANT. The Navy I plant consists of three turbines,
          of which one unit commenced delivery of firm power in August 1987, and
          the second and third units in December 1988. The 80 NMW power plant is
          located on land owned by and leased from the U.S. Navy through
          December 2009, with a 10-year extension at the option of the Navy.
          Under terms of the Navy I Joint Venture, profits and losses were
          allocated approximately 49% before payout of units 2 and 3 and
          approximately 46.4% thereafter to CECI.

                ii. BLM PLANT. The BLM plant consists of two turbines at one
          site (BLM East), which commenced delivery of firm power in March and
          May, 1989, respectively, and one turbine at another site (BLM West)
          which commenced delivery of firm power in August, 1989. The BLM plant
          is situated on lands leased from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management
          under a geothermal lease agreement that extends until October 31,
          2035. The lease may be extended to 2075 at the option of the BLM.
          Under the terms of the BLM Joint Venture agreement, CECI's share of
          profits and losses before and after payout is approximately 45% and
          48%, respectively. During 1990, CECI upgraded the cooling tower and
          turbines to increase the plant's capacity to 80 NMW from the initial
          level of 70 NMW.

              iii. NAVY II PLANT. The Navy II plant consists of three turbines,
          of which two units commenced delivery of firm power in January 1990,
          and the third in February 1990, respectively. The 80 NMW power plant
          is on the southern portion of the Navy lands. Under terms of the Joint
          Venture, all profits, losses and capital contributions for Navy II are
          divided equally by the two partners.

          SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER. All of CECI's sales of electricity from the Coso
Project, which comprise approximately 94% of 1993 electricity and steam
revenues, are to Southern California Edison (SCE) and are under long-term power
purchase contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, SEC pays firm prices for
the energy portion of the contract. The energy payment escalates pursuant to the
contracts at an average rate of approximately 7.0% per year for the delivery of
electricity for ten years, commencing with the initial delivery of electricity
at firm power; thereafter, the energy payment adjusts to the actual avoided
energy cost experienced by SCE at that time. The capacity payment, which
initially represented approximately 25% of CECI's revenue, remains fixed during
the entire period of the contract. In addition, CECI is eligible for bonus
payments based on the amount by which the actual output exceeds the contract
capacity of each power plant. Bonus payments aggregated $3,050, $3,257 and
$2,635 in the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.

          CECI has three contracts for terms of 24, 30 and 20 years, expiring in
2011, 2019 and 2010, respectively. Delivery of electricity by the Navy I Joint
Venture, the BLM Joint Venture and the Navy II Joint Venture commenced under
those contracts in 1987, 1989 and 1990, respectively.

          See Note 13 for a description of litigation involving SCE.

</TABLE>


         The amount of royalties paid by CECI to the U.S. Navy to develop
geothermal energy for Navy I, Unit 1 on the lands owned by the Navy comprises
(i) a fee payable during the term of the contract based on the difference
between the amounts paid by the Navy to SCE for specified quantities of
electricity and the price as determined under the contract (which currently
approximates 65% of that paid by the Navy to SCE), and (ii) $11,600 payable in
December 2009. The $11,600 payment is secured by funds placed on deposit
monthly, which funds, plus accrued interest, will aggregate $11,600. The monthly
deposit is currently $23. As of December 31, 1993, the balance of funds
deposited approximated $1,283, which amount is included in restricted cash and
accrued liabilities.

         Units 2 and 3 of Navy I and the Navy II power plants are on Navy lands,
on which the Navy receives a royalty based on electric sales revenue at the
initial rate of 4% escalating to 22% by the end of the contract in December
2019. The BLM is paid a royalty of 10% of the value of steam produced by the
geothermal resource supplying the BLM plant.

         PACIFIC NORTHWEST GEOTHERMAL EXPLORATION COSTS. In the Pacific
Northwest, CECI has acquired leasehold rights and has performed certain
geological evaluations to determine the resource potential of the underlying
properties. Recovery of those costs is ultimately dependent upon CECI's ability
to prove geothermal reserves and sell geothermal steam, or to obtain financing,
build power plants, gain access to high voltage transmission lines, and sell the
resultant electricity at favorable prices, or sell its leaseholds. In the
opinion of management, CECI will be able to realize its exploration costs
through the generation of electricity for sale.

         NEVADA AND UTAH PROPERTIES. On May 3, 1990, CECI entered into a
definitive purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (Chevron)
for the acquisition of certain geothermal operations, including interests in
approximately 83,750 acres of geothermal properties in Nevada and Utah, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $51,100. These property interests
consist largely of leasehold interests, including properties leased from the BLM
and from private landowners.

         The property acquired from Chevron includes a 9 MW power plant at
Desert Peak, Nevada ("Desert Peak"), and a 70% interest in a steam field at
Roosevelt Hot Springs, Utah (Roosevelt Hot Springs"). The facility at Desert
Peak is currently selling electricity to Sierra Pacific Power Company under a
contract that runs through 1995 and then may be extended on a year-to-year basis
as agreed by the parties. The price for electricity under this contract is 6.5
cents per kWH, comprising an energy payment of 2.0 cents per kWH

                                      F-11




     
<PAGE>






(which is adjustable pursuant to an inflation based index) and a capacity
payment of 4.5 cents per kWH. The Roosevelt Hot Springs site has a contract to
sell steam to a 25 MW power plant owned by Utah Power and Light Company (UP&L)
and to dispose of the brine that is a by-product of the electricity production
process.

         As part of the Nevada and Utah properties acquisition, CECI acquired
leasehold interests in an aggregate of approximately 20,000 acres at the
Roosevelt Hot Springs site in Utah and approximately 63,750 acres at four sites
in Nevada. The Roosevelt Hot Springs and Desert Peak properties have been the
subject of exploration and testing by Chevron and its predecessors. Based on
these tests and reports of independent engineering companies, CECI believes that
there are significant geothermal resources available for commercial development
at these sites. Other tests conducted by Chevron and its predecessors indicate
that commercially viable amounts of geothermal resources may underlie the other
Chevron properties.

         CECI financed the acquisition of Roosevelt Hot Springs through an
equity offering, a $20,317 pre-sale of steam from the Roosevelt Hot Springs
field to the utility-owned power plant located at the site, and seller
financing. The acquisition of Roosevelt Hot Springs and certain of the Nevada
properties closed on January 22, 1991 for an aggregate amount of approximately
$35,000. The remainder of the transaction closed on March 28, 1991 and was
financed with seller financing and the proceeds of the sale of common stock to
Kiewit Energy Company (Kiewit Energy); see Note 12.

5.       PROJECT LOANS

         Project loans, which are non-recourse to CECI, comprise the following
at December 31:

Project loans with fixed interest rates (weighted average interest rates of
  8.04% and 7.88% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively) with scheduled
  repayments through December 2001                                              $246,880                  $263,604
                                                                                ========                  ========
</TABLE>

         The project loans are from Coso Funding Corp. ("Funding Corp.").
Funding Corp. is a single-purpose corporation formed to issue notes for its own
account and as an agent acting on behalf of Navy I, BLM, and Navy II Joint
Ventures, collectively the "Coso Joint Ventures." Pursuant to separate credit
agreements executed between Funding Corp. and each Coso Joint Venture on
December 16, 1992, the proceeds from Funding Corp.'s note offering were loaned
to the Coso Joint Ventures. The proceeds of $560,245 were used by the Coso Joint
Ventures to (i) purchase and retire project finance debt comprised of the term
loans and construction loans in the amount of $424,500, (ii) fund contingency
funds in the amount of $68,400, (iii) fund debt service reserve funds in the
amount of $40,000, and (iv) finance $27,345 of capital expenditures and
transaction costs. The contingency fund and debt service reserve fund were
required by the project loan agreements.

         The contingency fund represented the approximate maximum amount, if
any, which could theoretically have been payable by the Coso Joint Ventures to
third parties to discharge all liens of record and other contract claims

and sale of the notes by Funding Corp., and such establishment did not reflect
the Coso Joint Ventures' view as to the merits or likely disposition of such
litigation or other contingencies. On June 9, 1993, MPE and the Mission Power
Group, subsidiaries of SCE Corp., and the Coso Joint Ventures reached a final
settlement of all of their outstanding disputes and claims relating to the
construction of the Coso Project. As a result of the various payments and
releases involved in such settlement, the Coso Joint Ventures agreed to make a
net payment of $20,000 to MPE from the cash reserves of the Coso Project
contingency fund and MPE agreed to release its mechanics' liens on the Coso
Project. After making the $20,000 payment, the remaining balance of the Coso
Project contingency fund (approximately $49,300) was used to increase the Coso
Project debt reserve fund from approximately $43,000 to its maximum fully-funded
requirement of $67,900. The remaining $24,400 balance of contingency fund was
retained within the Coso Project for future capital expenditures and for Coso
Project debt service payments. Since the Coso Project debt service reserve is
fully funded in advance, Coso Project cash flows otherwise intended to fund the
Coso Project debt service reserve fund, subject to satisfaction of certain
covenants and conditions contained in the Coso Joint Ventures' refinancing
documents, may be available for distribution to CECI in its proportionate share.

         The loans are collateralized by, among other things, the power plants,
geothermal resource, debt service reserve funds, contingency funds, pledge of
contracts, and an assignment of all such Coso Joint Ventures' revenues which
will be applied against the payment of obligations of each Coso Joint Venture,
including the project loans. Each Coso Joint Venture's assets will secure only
its own project loan, and will not be cross-collateralized with assets pledged
under other Coso Joint Venture's credit agreements. The project loans are
non-recourse to any partner in the Coso Joint Ventures and Funding Corp. shall
solely look to such Coso Joint Venture's pledged assets for satisfaction of such
project loans. However, the loans are cross-collateralized by the available cash
flow of each Coso Joint Venture. Each Coso Joint Venture after satisfying a
series of its own obligations has agreed to advance support loans (to the extent
of available cash flow and, under certain conditions, its debt service reserve
funds) in the event revenues from the supporting Coso Joint Ventures are
insufficient to meet scheduled principal and interest on their separate project
loans.

         The annual repayments of the project loans for the years beginning
January 1, 1994 and thereafter are as follows:

         In connection with the aforementioned refinancing, CECI entered into an
agreement with Community Energy Alternatives Incorporated ("CEA") for CECI to
purchase at the close of the Coso Project refinancing CEA's interest in the Coso
Project. Until the close of the Coso Project refinancing, CEA had been a partner
in a partnership structure organized by CECI's Joint Venture Partner in the BLM
project. CECI purchased the CEA interest under certain terms and conditions
which are designed to provide CECI with a 17% per annum return on the CEA
interest purchase price of $9,800. CECI's 17% per annum return is secured in
part by a pledge and assignment to CECI of certain cash flows to be received by
CECI's Coso Project Joint Venture Partner (and certain affiliates) from Coso
Project distributions. CECI has granted its Coso Project Joint Venture Partner
the right to purchase the CEA interest for a price which will provide CECI a 17%
per annum return for the duration CECI owns the CEA interest.

6.       SENIOR NOTES

         The Senior Notes are due in March 1995, and bear interest at the rate
of 12% per annum, plus 10% of CECI's share of the cash flow from the Coso
Project, commencing July 1, 1989 and terminating December 31, 1994. The Senior
Notes prohibit the payment of cash dividends unless CECI has a net worth of at
least $50,000 after payment of such dividends, and dividends do not exceed 50%
of accumulated net income subsequent to December 31, 1987. The Senior Notes also
place restrictions on capital expenditures not related to the Coso Project. The
fair value of the Senior Notes approximates the carrying value.

7.       CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

         In June of 1993, CECI issued $100,000 principal amount of 5%
convertible subordinated debentures (debentures) due July 31, 2000. The
debentures are convertible into shares of CECI's common stock at any time prior
to redemption or maturity at a conversion price of $22.50 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. Interest on the debentures is payable
semiannually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, commencing on
July 31, 1993. The debentures are redeemable for cash at any time on or after
July 31, 1996 at the option of CECI. The redemption prices commencing in the
twelve month period beginning July 31, 1996 (expressed in percentages of the
principal amount) are 102%, 101%, 100% and 100% in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The debentures are unsecured general obligations of CECI and
subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of CECI. The fair
value of the debentures as of December 31, 1993 was approximately $103,250,
which is based on quoted market rates.

8.       INCOME TAXES

         On January 1, 1993, CECI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." The adoption of FAS
109 changes CECI's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred
method as required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 to an asset and
liability approach. Under FAS 109, the net excess deferred tax liability as of
January 1, 1993 was determined to be $4,100. This amount is reflected in 1993
income as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. It
primarily represents the recognition of CECI's tax credit carryforwards as a
deferred tax asset. There was no cash impact to CECI upon the required adoption
of FAS 109. Under FAS 109, the effective tax rate increased to approximately 30%
from 23.5% in 1992. This increase was due to CECI's tax credit carryforward
being recognized as an asset and unavailable to reduce the current period's
effective tax rate for computing CECI's provision for income taxes.

In 1992, the significant components of the deferred tax liability were
timing differences in the computation of depreciation and amortization of the
power plants and exploration and development costs for financial reporting
purposes versus income tax purposes.

     As of  December  31,  1993,  CECI has an unused  net  operating  loss (NOL)
carryover  of  approximately  $113,000 for regular  federal tax return  purposes
which  expires  primarily  between 2001 and 2007.  In addition,  CECI has unused
investment  and  geothermal  energy tax credit  carryforwards  of  approximately
$40,106 expiring between 2002 and 2008. CECI also has  approximately  $12,018 of
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards which have no expiration date.

9.       COMMITMENTS

         CECI's former office space lease, which requires annual rental of $660
through April 1994, has been partially sublet at annual rentals of $261 and
remaining future rental costs were previously provided for in a restructuring
charge. CECI also leases an aircraft under a lease that expires on August 1,
1995, at an annual rental of approximately $464. The aircraft has been subleased
at an annual rental of approximately $300. Rental expense for the aircraft,
vehicles, geothermal leases, and other equipment leases for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 was approximately $1,143, $1,018 and $986
respectively.

Total projected lease commitments (net of sublease contracts) at December 31,
1993, are as follows:

10.      PREFERRED STOCK

         SERIES A. On December 1, 1988, CECI distributed a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right (right) for each outstanding share of common
stock. The rights are not exercisable until ten days after a person or group
acquires or has the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
CECI's common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer for 30% or more of
the CECI's common stock. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A junior preferred stock for $52. The rights
may be redeemed by the Board of Directors up to ten days after an event
triggering the distribution of certificates for the rights. The rights plan was
amended in February 1991 so that the agreement with Kiewit Energy (see Note 12)
would not trigger the exercise of the rights. The rights will expire, unless
previously redeemed or exercised, on November 30, 1998. The rights are
automatically attached to, and trade with, each share of common stock.

         SERIES B. On November 15, 1990, CECI sold 357.5 shares of convertible
preferred stock, Series B at $14 per share. Each share of the convertible
preferred stock was convertible into two shares of common stock, and had a
dividend rate of 15% through November 15, 1992, 10% from November 16, 1992 to

                                      F-16




     
<PAGE>






November 15, 1994 and 5% from November 16, 1994 to November 15, 1996. The
dividends were payable semiannually in convertible preferred stock, Series B.

         On November 15, 1992, CECI called the preferred stock for conversion
into common stock. Each Series B preferred stock was converted into two shares
of common stock; accordingly, CECI issued 954.9 shares of common stock.

         SERIES C. On November 19, 1991, CECI sold one thousand shares of
convertible preferred stock, Series C at $50,000 per share to Kiewit Energy, in
a private placement. Each share of the Series C preferred stock is convertible
at any time at $18.375 per common share into 2,721 shares of common stock
subject to customary adjustments. The Series C preferred stock has a dividend
rate of 8.125%, commencing March 15, 1992 through conversion date on December
15, 2003. The dividends, which are cumulative, are payable quarterly in
convertible preferred stock, Series C, through March 15, 1995 and in cash on
subsequent dividend dates.

         CECI is obligated to redeem 20% of the outstanding preferred stock,
Series C each December 15, commencing 1999 through 2003 at a price per share
equal to $50,000, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

         At any time after December 15, 1994, upon 20 days written notice, CECI
may redeem all, or any portion consisting of at least $5,000, of the preferred
stock, Series C. then outstanding, provided that the CECI's common stock has
traded at or above 150% of the then effective conversion price, for any 20
trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days ending not more than five
trading days prior to notice of redemption.

         CECI may also exchange the preferred stock, Series C, in whole or part
on any dividend date commencing December 15, 1994, for 9.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures of CECI due 2003.

         Each share of preferred stock, Series C shall be entitled to the number
of votes equal to $50,000 per share divided by the then effective conversion
price. If cash dividends are in arrears six consecutive quarters, Kiewit Energy
shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect two
directors of CECI.

         No cash dividends shall be paid or declared on CECI's common stock
unless all accumulated dividends on the Series C preferred stock have been paid.

11.      STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

         CECI has issued various stock options and warrants. As of December 31,
1993, a total of 8,953 shares are reserved for stock options, of which 8,514
shares have been granted and remain outstanding at prices of $3.00 to $19.00 per
share.

         CECI has stock option plans under which shares were reserved for grant
as incentive or non-qualified stock options, as determined by the Board of
Directors. As of December 31, 1993, the total options granted for the non-1986
plan and the 1986 plan are 5,778 and 6,354, respectively. The plans allow
options to be granted at 85% of their fair market value at the date of grant.
Generally, options are issued at 100% of fair market value at the date of grant.
Options granted under the 1986 Plan become exercisable over a period of three to
five years and expire if not exercised within ten years from the date of grant
or, in some instances a lesser term. Prior to the 1986 Plan, CECI granted 256
options at fair market value at date of grant which had terms of ten years and
were exercisable at date of grant. In addition, CECI had issued approximately
138 options to consultants on terms similar to those issued under the 1986 Plan.
The non-1986 Plan options are primarily options granted to Kiewit Energy; see
Note 12.

On October 13, 1992, CECI repurchased, and cancelled, certain warrants
exercisable for 1,025 shares of unregistered common stock at $2.04 per share,
for a purchase price of $9.16 per share or $9,389 in aggregate. Separately,
Kiewit Energy simultaneously purchased and exercised other warrants to purchase
600 shares of unregistered common stock at $2.04 per share, providing CECI with
proceeds of $1,224.

         On October 27, 1992, CECI repurchased, and cancelled, certain warrants
exercisable for 250 shares of unregistered common stock at $2.04 per share, for
a purchase price of $9.316 per share or $2,329 in aggregate.

12.      COMMON STOCK SALES AND RELATED OPTIONS

         In January 1991, CECI sold 2,505 shares of unregistered common stock at
$6.75 per share for an aggregate total of $16,909. The funds were used to repay
a portion of the seller financing related to CECI's acquisition of Chevron's
interest in Roosevelt Hot Springs, Utah.

         CECI and Kiewit Energy signed a Stock Purchase Agreement and related
agreements, dated as of February 18, 1991. Kiewit Energy is a subsidiary of
Peter Kiewit Sons', Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska, a large construction and mining
company with diversified operations. Under the terms of the agreements, Kiewit
Energy purchased 4,000 shares of common stock at $7.25 per share and received
options to buy 3,000 shares at a price of $9 per share exercisable over three
years and an additional 3,000 shares at a price of $12 per share exercisable
over five years (subject to customary adjustments).

         In connection with this initial stock purchase, CECI and Kiewit Energy
also entered into certain other agreements pursuant to which (i) Kiewit Energy
and its affiliates agreed not to acquire more than 34% of the outstanding common
stock (the Standstill Percentage) for a five-year period, (ii) Kiewit Energy
became entitled to nominate at least three of CECI's directors, and (iii) CECI
and Kiewit Energy agreed to use their best efforts

                                      F-19




     
<PAGE>






to negotiate and execute a joint venture agreement relating to the development
of certain geothermal properties in Nevada and Utah.

         On June 19, 1991, the board approved a number of amendments to the
stock purchase agreement and the related agreements. Pursuant to those
amendments, CECI reacquired from Kiewit Energy the rights to develop the Nevada
and Utah properties, and Kiewit Energy agreed to exercise options to acquire
1,500 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share, providing CECI with $13,500 in
cash. CECI also extended the term of the $9.00 and $12.00 options to seven
years; modified certain of the other terms of these options; granted to Kiewit
Energy an option to acquire an additional 1,000 shares of the outstanding common
stock at $11.625 per share (closing price for the shares on the American Stock
Exchange on June 18, 1991) for a ten year term; and increased the Standstill
Percentage from 34% to 49%.

         On November 19, 1991, the Board approved the issuance by CECI to Kiewit
Energy of one thousand shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $50,000 per share,
as described in Note 10 above. In connection with the sale of the Series C
Preferred Stock to Kiewit Energy, the Standstill Agreement was amended so that
the 49% Standstill Percentage restriction would apply to voting stock rather
than just common stock.

13.      LITIGATION

         SETTLEMENT OF CONTRACTOR CLAIMS. In June 1990, Mission Power
Engineering Company (MPE), a subsidiary of SCECorp. and the general contractor
for eight of the nine facilities at the Coso Project recorded mechanics' liens
(the Liens) against two of the Coso Projects and filed suit to pursue claims for
amounts allegedly due from the Coso Joint Ventures in connection with the
turnkey contracts for the design and construction on eight of the units. In July
1990, MPE, the Joint Venture Partners and CECI agreed to enter settlement
discussions during which period the suit was suspended. In January 1991, MPE
terminated settlement discussions and refiled its suit in the amount of
approximately $70,900 in contract claims. The Coso Joint Ventures counterclaimed
on January 10, 1991, for performance and equipment related and other damages
arising under the turnkey contracts.

         On June 9, 1993, MPE and the Mission Power Group, subsidiaries of
SCECorp, and the Coso Joint Ventures and CECI announced that the companies had
reached a final settlement of all of their outstanding disputes relating to the
construction of and the filing of mechanics' liens against the Coso Project.

         Under the settlement agreement, MPE agreed to dismiss with prejudice
its $70,900 breach of contract suit against the Coso Joint Ventures and the Coso
Joint Ventures agreed to dismiss with prejudice their counterclaims against MPE
and related parties. As a result of the various payments and releases involved
in such settlement, the Coso Joint Ventures agreed to make a net payment of
$20,000 to MPE from the cash reserves of the Coso Project Contingency Fund and
MPE agreed to release its mechanics' liens on the Coso Project.

         SETTLEMENT OF TRANSMISSION LINE DISPUTES. In September 1990, the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a decision which would fix
at approximately $10,500 the Coso Joint Ventures' maximum exposure for the cost
of the construction of a new 220 kV electric transmission line (Line) on the SCE
transmission system. The Coso Joint Ventures appealed the decision of the CPUC
to the Federal district court and intended to petition the CPUC to reconsider
its decision on the grounds that such line is not necessary. In a related
proceeding involving the cost allocation for existing and ancillary
interconnection facilities, the CPUC ruled that the Coso Joint Ventures' share
would be approximately $7,000. The Coso Joint Ventures appeal of such decision
to the California Supreme Court was denied in February 1993. In addition, SCE
alleged certain line losses that SCE deemed applicable to the existing 115 kV
line utilized by two of the

                                      F-20

Coso Joint Ventures and deducted amounts from revenues payable under the power
purchase contracts. The Coso Joint Ventures dispute SCE's allegations,
methodology and alleged ability to deduct amounts under the interconnection
contracts and filed a complaint alleging breach of contract in the California
State Court.

         On May 3, 1993, SCE and the Coso Joint Ventures agreed to settle the
transmission line loss contract dispute and certain related interconnection
disputes involving the Coso Project under a separate agreement whereby, among
other things, the parties made certain cash payments to each other and agreed to
certain interconnection cost and historical line loss allocations and to the
release to the Coso Joint Ventures of certain funds previously deducted from
project revenues and held in escrow. The parties also agreed to jointly pursue
appropriate rate treatment by the CPUC of certain SCE financed interconnection
costs, including the one remaining cost allocation issue between them in the
amount of $5,900. As a result of the various payments, allocations and releases
involved in such partial settlement, SCE released $15,500 of Coso Project funds
(CECI's share was approximately $7,800) held in escrow in respect of
interconnection costs (transmission line deposit) and the Partners of Coso Joint
Ventures posted an irrevocable letter of credit to support their contingent
obligation of $5,900 on the cost allocation matter to be jointly pursued with
SCE at the CPUC.

         SETTLEMENT OF ANTITRUST LAWSUIT. On January 31, 1991, CECI filed an
antitrust lawsuit in San Francisco Federal Court against SCECorp., its
subsidiaries (MPE, Mission Power Group and SCE), Kidder-Peabody & Co., and
others alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws, unfair competition and
tortious interference. This lawsuit was settled in conjunction with the
transmission line disputes.

         SETTLEMENT WITH JOINT VENTURE PARTNER. CECI has served as managing
partner, project manager and field operator for the Coso Project since its
inception. It has been plant operator for the facilities since August 1988. In
April 1990, CECI's principal Coso Joint Venture partner (the J.V. Partner)
served CECI and certain of CECI's subsidiaries with a demand for arbitration
arising out of disagreements concerning primarily the operating budgets and the
allocation to the Joint Ventures of certain expenses incurred by CECI.

         On March 19, 1991, CECI and its J.V. Partner executed a settlement
agreement which resolved all their outstanding disputes. The terms of the
settlement provide that if the Coso Project performs at capacity level in the
future so that certain formula-based contingencies related to the productivity
of the power plants are satisfied in any of the following eight years, then, out
of the excess cash flow generated from such performance levels, up to $1.4
million may be paid in each such year to the J.V. Partner by CECI. During 1992,
CECI purchased the J.V. Partner's contingent payment for $5,000, which will be
amortized over the remaining seven years of the agreement.

         In return for the original settlement, the J.V. Partner agreed to the
conversion of all prior advances made by CECI on behalf of the partnership into
a Coso Joint Venture note payable to CECI due on or before March 19, 1999. The
note bore interest at an adjustable rate tied to LIBOR and was subordinated to
the prior payment in full of all the senior bank debt on the project as well as
to the foregoing contingent payments to the J.V. Partner. On December 16, 1992
the Coso Joint Ventures paid $5,133 of their note payable plus accrued interest
to CECI. A new promissory note was then signed on December 16, 1992 for the
remaining principal balance. This note bears a fixed interest rate of 12.5% and
is payable on or before March 19, 2002. This note continues to be subordinated
to the senior project loan on the project. The fair value of this note
approximates the carrying value.

14.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         CECI charged and recognized a management fee and interest on advances
to its Coso Joint Ventures, which aggregated approximately $5,354, $4,246 and
$5,664 in the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.

15.      EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

         The refinancing of the Coso Joint Ventures' project financing debt in
1992 resulted in an extraordinary item in the amount of $4,991, after the tax
effect of $1,533. The extraordinary item represents the unamortized portion of
the deferred financing costs and related repayment costs associated with the
original Coso Joint Ventures' project financing debt.

16.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         CECI is currently in the process of arranging a proposed offering of
$400,000 Senior Discount Notes (the "Notes"). The interest rate will be between
approximately 9% and 10%, with cash interest payment commencing in 1997. The
Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of CECI. CECI intends to use the
proceeds from the offering to: (i) fund equity commitments in, and the
construction costs of, geothermal power projects presently planned in the
Philippines and Indonesia, (ii) to fund equity investments in, and loans to,
other potential international and domestic private power projects and related
facilities, (iii) for corporate or project acquisitions permitted under the
indenture, and (iv) for general corporate purposes.

ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of California Energy Company, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 1994, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1993 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (Dollars in thousands, except per share and per kWh data)

1.       GENERAL

         In the opinion of management of California Energy Company, Inc. (the
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1994 and the results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.

         The consolidated financial statement include the accounts of CECI and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its proportionate share of the accounts of
the partnerships and joint ventures in which it has invested.

         The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

         Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements and supporting
footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.
Such reclassification did not impact previously reported net income or retained
earnings.

2.       OTHER FOOTNOTE INFORMATION

         Reference is made to CECI's most recently issued annual report that
included information necessary or useful to the understanding of CECI's business
and financial statement presentations. In particular, CECI's significant
accounting policies and practices were presented as Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements included in that report.

In June 1994, amounts recorded as "Yuma plant - construction in progress" were
transferred to "Power plants and gathering systems".

4.       SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES

         In March 1994, CECI issued $400,000 of 10 1/4% Senior Discount Notes
which accrete to an aggregate principal amount of $529,640 at maturity in 2004.
The original issue discount (the difference between $400,000 and $529,640) will
be amortized from issue date through January 15, 1997, during which time no cash
interest will be paid on the Senior Discount Notes. Commencing July 15, 1997,
cash interest on the Senior Discount Notes will be payable semiannually on
January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Senior Discount Notes are redeemable at
any time on or after January 15, 1999. The redemption prices commencing in the
twelve month period beginning January 15, 1999 (expressed in percentages of the
principal amount) are 105.125%, 103.417%, 101.708%, and 100% for 1999, 2000,
2001, and 2002, respectively, plus accrued interest through the redemption date
in each case. The Senior Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of
CECI.

5.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         In April 1994, CECI closed the financing for the 128 GMW Upper Mahiao
geothermal power project located in the Philippines. The total project cost for
the facility is approximately $218,000. CECI will supply approximately $56,000
of equity and project debt financing will constitute the balance of
approximately $162,000. A syndicate of international commercial banks is
providing the construction financings. The Export-Import Bank of the U.S.
("Ex-Im Bank") is providing political risk insurance to the commercial banks on
the construction loan and will provide the preponderance of project term
financing upon satisfaction of conditions associated with commercial operation.
As of September 30, 1994, draws on the construction loan totalled $20,636,
equity investments made by a subsidiary of CECI totalled $12,712, and CECI has
invested $1,236. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation ("OPIC") is
providing political risk insurance on the equity investment by CECI in this
project. The Upper Mahiao project has begun construction, and is expected to be
in service by July of 1996. The project is structured as a ten year
Build-Own-Transfer ("BOT"), in which CECI's subsidiary CE Cebu Geothermal Power
Company, Inc., the project company, will be responsible for implementing
construction of the geothermal power plant and, as owner, for providing
operations and maintenance during the ten year BOT period. The electricity
generated by the Upper Mahiao geothermal power plant will be sold to the
Philippine National Oil Company - Energy Development Corporation ("PNOC-EDC"),
which is also responsible for supplying the facility with the geothermal steam.
After a ten year cooperation period, and the recovery by CECI of its capital
investment plus incremental return, the plant will be transferred to PNOC-EDC at
no cost. Ormat Inc. of Sparks, Nevada is the turnkey contractor for the project.

         In 1993 CECI and PNOC-EDC signed an Energy Conversion agreement for a
180 GMW project at the Mahanagdong geothermal site with a target completion date
of July 1997. As with the Upper Mahiao project, the Mahanagdong project is
structured as a ten year Build-Own-Transfer ("BOT"), in which CECI will be
responsible for implementing construction of the geothermal power plant and, as
owner, for providing operations and maintenance for the ten year BOT period. The
electricity generated by the geothermal power plant will be sold to PNOC-EDC,
which is also responsible for supplying the facility with the geothermal steam.
After a ten year cooperation period, and the recovery by CECI of its capital
investment plus incremental return, the plant will be transferred to PNOC-EDC at
no cost.

         The Mahanagdong project will be built, owned and operated by CE Luzon
Geothermal Power Company, a Philippine corporation, that is expected to be owned
post completion as follows: 45% by CECI, 45% by Kiewit, and up to 10% by another
industrial company. The turnkey contractor consortium consists of

                                      F-33




     
<PAGE>






Kiewit Construction Group, Inc. (with an 80% interest) and The Ben Holt
Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI (with a 20% interest).

        In August 1994, CECI completed the financing on the Mahanagdong project
with a total project cost of approximately $320 million. The capital structure
consists of a term loan of $240 million and approximately $80 million in equity
contributions. The construction debt financing facility will be provided by OPIC
and a consortium of commercial lenders led by Bank of America NT&SA. The debt
provided by the commercial lenders will be insured against political risks by
the Ex-Im Bank. Ten-year term debt financing will be provided by Ex-Im Bank
(which will replace the construction debt) and by OPIC. The Mahanagdong project
has commenced construction and as of September 30, 1994, CECI's proportionate
share of draws on the construction loan totalled $443, equity investments made
by a subsidiary of CECI totalled $3,899, and CECI has invested $6,711.

         CECI has made an offer (the "Offer to Purchase") to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Magma Power Company ("Magma") for $38.50 per share,
comprised of $28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI's common stock.
As the first step in implementing its proposal to acquire all Magma shares, CE
Acquisition Company, Inc. (the "Purchaser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI,
commenced a cash tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase 12,400 shares, or
approximately 51% of the common stock of Magma Power Company, at a price of
$38.50 net per share to be followed by a second step merger for a combination of
cash and CECI common stock, which when completed would result in an aggregate
blended consideration of $28.50 in cash and $10.00 in market value of CECI's
common stock for each share of Magma purchased by CECI. The Offer currently is
set to expire on December 2, 1994. Magma's Board of Directors (the "Board") has
recommended that their shareholders not accept CECI's $38.50 per share Offer.

         In order to facilitate consummation of its acquisition offer, CECI is
soliciting requests to call a special meeting of Magma stockholders and has
established November 7, 1994 as the record date for its solicitation period
which will also expire on December 2, 1994. CECI has stated that it intends to
withdraw its $38.50 per share acquisition proposal if it has not signed a merger
agreement with Magma or received a sufficient number of requests from Magma
stockholders to call a special meeting by December 2, 1994. The special meeting
will provide Magma stockholders the opportunity to consider and vote on CECI's
special meeting proposals which, if approved, would result in certain bylaw
amendments that would facilitate CECI's proposal and the election of four
Company nominees to Magma's Board, who would be committed to removing any
impediments to shareholders being able to freely choose whether to accept the
Offer and approve the proposed merger, thereby ensuring that the Offer and
proposed merger get a full and fair hearing. CECI also intends to call a special
meeting of its shareholders to approve the issuance of CECI's stock in
connection with the transaction. Kiewit, CECI's largest shareholder, which
beneficially owns approximately 43.8% of the common shares, has already approved
the proposed transaction.

         CECI anticipates that a substantial portion of the cash required to
purchase Magma shares and rights pursuant to the Offer and the proposed merger
will be provided through a secured bank credit facility. CECI has received a
fully underwritten financing commitment letter which states that the lender will
provide up to $500,000 in secured bank financing in connection with the Offer
and the proposed merger. Such funds, together with a portion of CECI's general
corporate funds, will be sufficient to pay the cash portion of the consideration
for the Offer and proposed merger and related expenses.

         The commitment letter contemplates (i) a facility of up to $250,000 to
capitalize CECI for the purpose of financing the Offer and (ii) facilities of up
to $500,000 for, among other things, refinancing the tender facility and
effectuating the proposed merger.


                                      F-34




     
<PAGE>






         The term of the tender facility will be 12 months, extendible for a
term of up to three years from the initial funding at the mutual consent of CECI
and the lender. The tender facility will be a margin loan collateralized by the
shares purchased pursuant to the Offer.

         The merger facility will be composed of (i) up to a 6-year amortizing
term loan ("Term Loan A") in an expected amount of up to $500,000 less the
amount of Term Loan B (as defined below) and (ii) up to an 8-year amortizing
term loan ("Term Loan B") in an expected amount not to be less than $150,000.
The merger facilities are to be amortized from internally generated funds and
will be secured by an assignment and pledge of Magma stock and all unencumbered
assets of Magma.

         The lender's commitment to provide the facilities is subject to certain
customary conditions, including without limitation (a) a capital investment by
CECI in an amount and form satisfactory to the lender, (b) the absence of
certain material adverse changes and (c) the lender's satisfaction with its due
diligence with respect to CECI and Magma.

         The definitive documentation relating to the facilities will contain
representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and conditions
customary for transactions of this size and type.

         On October 3, 1994, Magma filed a complaint entitled Magma Power
Company v. California Energy Company, Inc., Case No. CV-N-94-06160, against CECI
in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for the
County of Washoe. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that (i) Magma's
Board properly discharged its fiduciary obligations in adopting a poison pill
and amendments to its bylaws and, accordingly, such documents were valid and
binding, and (ii) Nevada General Corporation Law ("NGCL") Sections 78.411
through 78.444 (the "Merger Moratorium Statute") is valid and not in violation
of the Commerce Clause and Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.
CECI subsequently removed this action to the United States District Court for
the District of Nevada.

         On October 17, 1994, CECI filed its answer and counterclaims in
response to Magma's complaint. The counterclaims name the Purchaser as an
additional counterclaim plaintiff and Magma's directors as counterclaim
defendants in addition to Magma. CECI's counterclaims seek primarily: (i) a
declaratory judgment that certain actions taken by Magma, including the
amendment to Magma's bylaws purporting to preclude Magma's stockholders from
taking action by written consent, and implementation of its poison pill, are
void and ultra vires, and constitute a breach of fiduciary duty by Magma's
Board; (ii) an injunction requiring Magma's Board to rescind the amendment to
Magma's bylaws which purports to eliminate the power of stockholders to act by
written consent, the "golden parachute" severance agreements granted to 15
members of Magma's management and the indemnification agreements granted to each
member of Magma's Board; (iii) an injunction enjoining the operation of the
poison pill and directing Magma's Board to redeem the poison pill rights; (iv) a
declaratory judgment that the Merger Moratorium Statute is unconstitutional
under the Supremacy Clause and the Commerce Clause of the United States
Constitution; (v) an injunction requiring Magma to correct all false and
misleading statements in its Schedule 14D-9 and the amendments thereto.

         On October 17, 1994, Magma filed an amended complaint, which in
addition to the relief requested in its original complaint, seeks (i)
declaratory and injunctive relief with respect to certain purportedly false and
misleading disclosures in CECI's and the Purchaser's Schedule 14D-1 and the
Offer to Purchase therein; and (ii) declaratory and injunctive relief with
respect to certain allegedly false and misleading statements made in CECI's
preliminary Request Solicitation Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act on October 13, 1994.


                                      F-35




     
<PAGE>






         On October 19, 1994, CECI and the Purchaser filed their answer to
Magma's amended complaint and amended their counterclaims which, in addition to
the relief requested in the original counterclaims, seek an injunction requiring
Magma to correct additional false and misleading statements reflected in an
amendment to its Schedule 14D-9 and in other statements made by Magma.

         On October 25, 1994, CECI and the Purchaser filed their second amended
counterclaims which, in addition to the relief requested in the original and
amended counterclaims, seek an injunction requiring Magma to refrain from (i)
taking actions to damage its international development projects, including the
Karaha project, or (ii) taking other actions designed to waste corporate assets
and block the Offer and the proposed merger.

         On November 3, 1994, CECI and the Purchaser filed their third amended
counterclaims which, among other things, seek a ruling that the Control Share
Statute does not apply to the Offer.

         CECI intends to take any action necessary to have attempted impediments
to the Offer and the proposed merger set aside.

         On October 14, 1994, Ben Holt, a stockholder of Magma, and a director
of CECI, filed a complaint entitled Ben Holt v. Magma Power Company, Case No.
CV94-06432, against Magma in the Second Judicial District Court for the State of
Nevada in and for the County of Washoe (the "Court"), alleging, among other
things, that Magma has infringed the plaintiff's right as a stockholder by
denying his statutory right under the NGCL to demand access to Magma's
stockholder list and certain related material necessary to communicate with
Magma's stockholders. The plaintiff sought an order directing Magma to comply
with the demand for the stockholder list and related information necessary to
communicate with stockholders.

         On October 25, 1994, the Court issued an order directing Magma
forthwith and without delay to turn over to Mr. Holt a complete record or list
of Magma's stockholders together with certain other information concerning
stockholders of Magma requested by Mr. Holt in his demand letter to Magma. The
Court ruled expressly that Mr. Holt satisfied the requirements of the NGCL
governing requests for stockholder information in that he had been a stockholder
of Magma for more than six months as of the time of his demand, and had complied
with Magma's request for an affidavit concerning his request; that Mr. Holt's
purpose for requesting stockholder information of Magma, which was to facilitate
CECI's request for a special meeting of stockholders of Magma and otherwise to
communicate with the other stockholders of Magma concerning CECI's proposal to
acquire Magma through the Offer and the proposed merger was a proper purpose for
which to request stockholder information; and that the public interest is served
by granting Mr. Holt's request for stockholder information.

         The Yuma Cogeneration Associates ("YCA") 50 MW cogeneration power plant
commenced commercial operation pursuant to its power purchase agreement with San
Diego Gas & Electric ("SDG&E") at the end of May 1994. In June 1994 SDG&E filed
a complaint in U.S. District Court seeking to be released from its power
purchase agreement with YCA. In September 1994 SDG&E dismissed its case against
CECI without payment by either party. YCA, a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI,
received all outstanding amounts due from SDG&E.

6.       INCOME TAXES

         On January 1, 1993, CECI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109 ("FAS 109"), Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of FAS
109 changed CECI's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred
method as required by Accounting Principles Board No. 11 to an asset and
liability approach. Under FAS 109, the net excess deferred tax liability as of
January 1, 1993 was determined to be

                                      F-36




     
<PAGE>






$4,100. This amount was reflected in 1993 income as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. It primarily represented the recognition of
CECI's tax credit carryforwards as a deferred tax asset. There was no cash
impact to CECI upon the required adoption of FAS 109. Under FAS 109, the
effective tax rate has increased due to CECI's tax credit carryforwards being
recognized as an asset upon the adoption of FAS 109 and unavailable to reduce
the current period's effective tax rate for computing CECI's provision for
income taxes.

         CECI's effective tax rate continues to be less than the statutory rate
primarily due to the depletion deduction and the generation of energy tax
credits in 1994. The significant components of the deferred tax liability are
the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax
basis of the power plant and the well and resource development costs, and in
addition, the offsetting benefits of operating loss carryforwards and investment
and geothermal energy tax credits. The income tax provision for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, is approximately 54% current tax expense and 46%
deferred tax expense.

7.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Fully diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of the
Convertible Subordinated Debentures into common shares at a conversion price of
$22.50/share. The conversion has become dilutive because of the significant
repurchase by CECI of CECI's common stock which has materially reduced the
number of shares outstanding and thereby increased the relative effect of the
conversion.

8.       EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

         In conjunction with CECI's Senior Discount Note offering (See Note 4),
the 12% Senior Notes were defeased. This resulted in an extraordinary item in
the amount of $2,007, after the income tax effect of $945. The extraordinary
item represents the amount necessary to defease the interest payments and the
unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs on the $35,730 Senior Notes.
The 1994 contingent interest component of these Senior Notes, calculated by
reference to CECI's share of available cash flow from the Coso Project, remains
undefeased and outstanding through the end of the calculation period, December
31, 1994.

                          STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR PERIOD ENDING
DECEMBER 31, 1993

Report of Independent Accountants


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Magma Power Company


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magma Power
Company and Subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993. The 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 consolidated 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 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 consolidated financial position of Magma Power
Company and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amount)


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

         BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements present
the assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses of Magma Power Company
(the "Company") and its 100% owned subsidiaries and partnerships, Imperial
Magma, Vulcan Power Company ("Vulcan"), Magma Operating Company ("MOC"), Desert
Valley Company ("Desert Valley"), Fish Lake Power Company ("FLPC"), Magma Land I
("MLI"), Salton Sea Power Company, Salton Sea Brine Processing, L.P., Salton Sea
Power Generation, L.P., Peak Power Corporation ("Peak Power") and its pro-rata
50% share of the accounts of Del Ranch, L.P., Elmore, L.P., Leathers, L.P.,
Vulcan/BN Geothermal Power Company and Magma/GEO '83 Joint Venture.

         All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION. Sales of electricity represents Magma's pro-rata
50% share of the revenue accrued by Del Ranch, L.P., Elmore, L.P., Leathers,
L.P., and Vulcan/BN Geothermal Power Company (the "Partnerships") and its 100%
owned interest in Salton Sea Power Generation, L.P., from sales to Southern
California Edison Company ("SCE"). SCE is a subsidiary of SCEcorp. SCEcorp is
the parent corporation of Mission Energy Company which, through its
subsidiaries, owns 50% of the Partnerships. Royalties, management service fees
and rental income contractually payable to Magma by the Partnerships are
recorded on an accrual basis, net of Magma's pro-rata 50% share of the
corresponding partnership expense. Royalties earned from providing geothermal
resources to power plants operated by other geothermal power producers are
recorded on an accrual basis.

         PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Land is carried at cost. Buildings and
equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Exploration and
development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Such
capitalized costs include all costs of acquiring geothermal leases, recurring
lease rents, geological and geophysical studies and drilling and equipping
wells. These costs are not amortized until they can be directly associated with
energy production. Exploration and development costs associated with abandoned
wells and properties are amortized over the estimated remaining life of the
resource.

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the asset's useful life.

         Useful lives are as follows:

          Plant, plant equipment and buildings        20 years
          Office furniture and equipment              5-10 years
          Maintenance and other equipment             7-10 years
          Exploration and development costs           20 years*

         * Life of related plant facility.

         When property, plant and equipment is sold or abandoned, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation/amortization are removed from the accounts and
the resulting gain or loss is recognized currently.

     DEFERRED  WELL REWORK  COSTS.  Magma defers all rework costs and  amortizes
them over the estimated period between  reworks.  Production wells are amortized
using a units of production method while injection

                                      F-43

wells are amortized on a straight-line basis over 18 months. Deferred well
rework costs of $5,181,000 in 1993 and $3,010,000 in 1992 are included in
prepaid expenses and other current assets.

         POWER PURCHASE CONTRACTS. Power purchase contracts are carried at cost
less accumulated amortization. Contract costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the remaining contract life or 20 years. The
amortization begins at the date of acquisition, for contracts in service, or the
date of firm operations. Amortization expense amounted to $858,000 in 1993 and
$25,000 in 1992 and 1991.

         GOODWILL. In a merger which was effective March 11, 1988, Magma Power
Company became successor in interest to all of the assets and obligations of
Magma Energy. The excess of the value of stock issued over the fair market value
of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on the
straight-line method over a period of thirty years. Amortization expense
amounted to $365,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991.

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES, INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS.
Marketable securities and interest-bearing deposits are classified as
"available-for-sale" and are carried at their fair value. Realized gains and
losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included
in other income. Gross unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from
earnings and reported, net of related tax effect, as a separate component of
Shareholders' Equity. Other investments are carried at cost which approximates
market value.

         RETIREMENT PLANS.  Magma maintains two defined  contribution plans
covering all eligible employees. Contributions to the plans are funded annually.

         INCOME PER COMMON SHARE. The calculation of primary earnings per common
share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. In
computing primary earnings per common share, adjustment has been made for common
shares issuable for warrants and shares under option. Fully diluted earnings per
share reflects the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants at the end of
the reporting period.

         CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS. For purposes of the Statements of
Cash Flows, Magma considers bank and money market deposits as cash. Partnership
cash and marketable securities are not considered cash equivalents as these
assets are segregated for exclusive use of the Partnerships and restrictions in
the Partnership Secured Credit Agreements place limits on distributions of
partnership cash to the partners.

         Interest paid was $8,407,000 in 1993, $5,514,000 during 1992 and
$8,153,000 during 1991.

     RECLASSIFICATION.  Magma has reclassified the presentation of certain prior
year information to conform with the current presentation format.

2.       GEOTHERMAL POWER PARTNERSHIPS

         The Vulcan partnership was formed in 1985 with equal ownership between
Vulcan Power Company, a 100% owned subsidiary of Magma Power Company and BN
Geothermal, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mission Energy Company.

         Similarly, the Del Ranch, Elmore and Leathers partnerships were formed
in 1988 with equal ownership between Magma Power Company and Mission Energy
Company.

         In addition to the initial acquisition price, Magma will make payments
to Unocal contingent on future development of new power generating capacity. The
Salton Sea Plants consist of a 10 MW unit, which started firm operation in 1982,
a 20 MW unit, which started firm operation in 1990 and a 50 MW unit, which
started firm operation in 1989. All three plants deliver electricity to Southern
California Edison Company under 30 year power purchase contracts. The contract
for the 10 MW unit is a negotiated contract while the contracts for the 20 MW
and 50 MW units are ISO4's with levelized energy payments.

         On March 11, 1992 Magma acquired a 30 year modified ISO4 contract to
supply SCE with 16 MWs of geothermal power from Fish Lake, Nevada. Magma is
currently engaged in exploratory and well field development activities, which
are preparatory to constructing a power plant.

</TABLE>

         Loans payable at December 31, 1993 and 1992 included Magma's pro-rata
share of the debt of the Del Ranch, Elmore, and Leathers partnerships and is
non-recourse to Magma Power Company and subsidiaries, however, it is
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of these partnerships. A
Secured Credit Agreement with a group of international banks, with Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company ("Morgan") as the agent bank provides for direct bank
loans at specified premiums over a choice of either the bank's prime rate, the
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the CD Base rate. As an alternative,
each partnership may elect to issue commercial paper and medium-term notes
supported by letters of credit issued by Fuji Bank, Limited, which are secured,
in turn, by the project debt facility with Magma.

         The partnerships had no direct bank borrowings at December 31, 1993 and
1992. The weighted average interest rate of the commercial paper and medium-term
notes outstanding at December 31, was 5.5% in 1993 and 6.2% in 1992. During 1993
and 1992 Magma's pro-rata share of the partnership weighted average

                                      F-47

borrowings was $77,616,000 and $85,926,000, with a weighted average interest
rate of 5.6% and 6.7% for the corresponding periods.

         The loans of each partnership are reduced by 25 semi-annual principal
payments in March and September of each year. The last principal payment is
scheduled for September 15, 2001 for the Del Ranch and Elmore loans and
September 15, 2002 for the Leathers loan.

         On March 19, 1993 Magma entered into a one-year $140,000,000 term loan
("Bridge Loan") with a group of commercial banks. Proceeds of the loan were used
to finance the acquisition of the Imperial Valley geothermal interests. Interest
on the loan accrues at LIBOR plus .675%.

         On February 28, 1994 Magma replaced the Bridge Loan with a $130,000,000
non-recourse project level debt which is collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the newly acquired Salton Sea Plants. A secured credit agreement
with a group of international banks, with Credit Suisse as the agent bank,
provides for direct loans at LIBOR plus 1.25%.

         The loans are reduced by 12 semi-annual principal payments in March and
September of each year. The last principal payment is scheduled for March 15,
2000.

         Other loans consist of a 10-year $4,000,000 tax exempt debt financing
guaranteed by Magma Power Company on behalf of Desert Valley, and installment
obligations representing scheduled capital contributions for investments in low
income housing limited partnerships. The tax exempt bonds issued in October,
1990 have a coupon interest rate of 7.625% and a sinking fund requirement in the
seventh through tenth years. The installment obligations are non-interest
bearing and are payable through the year 2000 in varying amounts totalling
$6,467,000.

8.       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         In 1987 and 1993, Magma entered into technical, engineering and
management agreements with The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow"), a significant
shareholder of Magma Power Company. Magma agreed to pay for those services
either with shares of Magma Power Company common stock valued at the then market
price or cash. Dow services totalling $575,000 in 1993, $799,000 in 1992 and
$1,222,000 in 1991 were charged to the partnership and paid in cash.

         The 1987 Agreement granted Dow an option for 2,000,000 shares of Magma
Power Company common stock at option prices that started at $17.00 per share, a
negotiated price that exceeded the then current market price, and which
escalated over a four year period commencing one year after operation of the
Hoch (formerly Del Ranch) plant to a maximum exercise price of $21.00 in 1993.
On October 12, 1993 Magma purchased the option by issuing 857,143 newly issued
and unregistered shares. The number of shares issued was based on the
difference between the exercise price of $21.00 per share and the market price
on October 12, 1993 discounted $1.00 to $37.50. Shareholders' equity has been
increased by $13,581,000 representing the tax effect of the shares purchased.

Reserved common stock at December 31 is as follows:

9.       INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                  On September 25, 1987, the shareholders of Magma approved the
Magma Power Company Stock Option Plan of 1987 (the "Plan"). Under the Plan,
options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par
value, of Magma may be granted to salaried employees and consultants of Magma
and its subsidiaries, as selected by the Board of Directors or its compensation
committee (the "Committee"). The number of shares available under the Plan is
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including reorganizations,
recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, and stock dividends.

         The option price granted under the Plan will be established by the
Board of Directors or the Committee, when the option is granted. Such price may
not be less than 90% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the
option is granted. The options have a term of ten years and will become
exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule starting one year from the
date of the grant.

10.      PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         Magma provides for taxes on income in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of the
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse. The cumulative effect of the adoption
of SFAS 109 as of January 1, 1992 increased net income by $17,833,000 or $.77
per share, and is reported separately in the consolidated statement of
operations. Financial statements for 1991 were not restated to reflect SFAS 109.

         The provision consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

         Loans payable at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 included
Magma's pro-rata share of the debt of the Del Ranch, L.P., Elmore, L.P., and
Leathers, L.P. partnerships. The partnership loans are non-recourse to Magma and
subsidiaries, however, it is collateralized by substantially all of the assets
of these partnerships.

         On March 19, 1993, Magma entered into a $140 million unsecured one-year
term loan ("Bridge Loan") with a group of commercial banks. Proceeds from the
loan were used to finance the acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants from Unocal.
On February 28, 1994, Magma replaced the Bridge Loan with a $130,000,000
non-recourse project level loan which is collateralized by substantially all of
the assets and power purchase contracts of the newly acquired Salton Sea Plants.
Under the secured credit agreement for this loan, a group of international banks
loaned to Salton Sea Power Generating, L.P. and Salton Sea Brine Processing,
L.P. (the "Salton Sea Partnerships"), which own the Salton Sea Plants,
$130,000,000 in the form of a six (6) year loan at interest rates of 1.25% over
LIBOR, secured by substantially all of the assets of the Salton Sea
Partnerships. Restrictions in the secured credit agreement place limits on
distribution of cash from the Salton Sea Plants to Magma.

                    (ACQUIRED BY MAGMA) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                       Report of Independent Accountants






To the Board of Directors of
  Magma Power Company:


We have audited the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Acquired as of March
31, 1993 and Historical Summaries of Gross Revenues and Direct Operating
Expenses for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992
(collectively, the "Statements") of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests
(acquired by Magma Power Company from Union Oil Company of California
["Unocal"]). The Statement of Net Assets Acquired is the responsibility of Magma
Power Company's management. The Historical Summaries of Gross Revenues and
Direct Operating Expenses are the responsibility of Unocal's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 Statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the Statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statements. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statements were prepared for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Magma
Power Company on the basis of presentation as described in Note 1, and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the Imperial Valley Geothermal
Interests' assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets acquired as of March 31, 1993 and the gross revenues
and direct operating expenses for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1992 of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests on the basis of
presentation as described in Note 1, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

         Imperial Valley of California (the "Imperial Valley Geothermal
         Interests") from Union Oil Company of California ("Unocal"). Magma has
         accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method, and,
         accordingly, the purchase price allocation in the accompanying
         Statement of Net Assets Acquired is based on the estimated fair values
         of the assets purchased as of the Acquisition Date. Such allocation has
         been based on certain estimates which may be revised at a later date.
         The Statement of Net Assets Acquired is not intended to be a complete
         presentation of the assets and liabilities of the Imperial Valley
         Geothermal Interests.

         The consideration to Unocal and related liabilities assumed in
         determining Magma's total cost of acquisition includes $224,000,000
         consisting of $22,400,000 paid on December 31, 1992 ("Initiation Date"
         of the transaction) and a $201,600,000 note payable due to Unocal on
         March 31, 1993 for geothermal and other related assets; certain current
         assets and liabilities assumed by Magma as of the Initiation Date
         ("Adjusted Assets"), and an estimate of the net of revenues and certain
         expenditures ("Adjustment Account") relating to the operations of the
         Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests from the Initiation Date to the
         Acquisition Date pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Purchase
         Agreement") between Magma and Unocal; interest cost incurred during the
         acquisition period from the Initiation Date to the Acquisition Date
         paid to Unocal pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; an estimate of
         acquisition costs; and an estimate of capital expenditures for
         necessary improvements to the assets.
         These costs are summarized as follows:

                      IMPERIAL VALLEY GEOTHERMAL INTERESTS
                       (ACQUIRED BY MAGMA POWER COMPANY)

               NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED AND
                   HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF GROSS REVENUES AND
                      DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES, CONTINUED






1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED:

         The accompanying Historical Summaries of Gross Revenues and Direct
         Operating Expenses ("Historical Summaries") include only the gross
         revenues and direct operating expenses attributable to the production
         and sale of geothermal energy from the Imperial Valley Geothermal
         Interests on Unocal's basis of accounting. Prior to the acquisition,
         the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests were included in the
         consolidated financial statements of Unocal and were not accounted for
         as a separate entity. Sales of electricity in the accompanying
         Historical Summaries represent revenue accrued from Unocal's sales to
         Southern California Edison Company. The Historical Summaries do not
         include certain significant expenses that were incurred in connection
         with the operations of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interests and
         that were recorded in the Unocal financial statements. Those expenses
         were either not included because the information was not obtainable as
         Unocal did not allocate such expenses to individual properties, or the
         basis of such amounts may be significantly different as operated by
         Magma. Items excluded are depreciation, depletion and amortization,
         transmission charges offset by credits from the Imperial Irrigation
         District, interest expense which may have been incurred for any debt
         directly or indirectly associated with the assets, allocated income
         taxes, accounting, legal, marketing and other general and
         administrative costs. The Historical Summaries also exclude any
         allocation of the total acquisition costs resulting from the purchase
         of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Interest by Magma as reflected in the
         accompanying Statement of Net Assets Acquired.

2.       RELATED PARTIES:

         Included in plant operating costs in the accompanying Historical
         Summaries are certain technical support costs paid to a division of
         Unocal. Technical support costs do not exceed $1,600,000 in any
         respective year.

          SECTION 1.01.  The Offer.  (a)  Provided that this
Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with
Section 8.01 hereof and none of the events set forth in Annex I
hereto shall have occurred or be existing, Parent shall cause
Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, commence the Offer as
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five business
days after the date hereof.  The obligation of Parent to accept
for payment any Shares tendered shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Annex I, including
the Minimum Tender Condition.  Parent expressly reserves the
right to waive any such condition, to increase the price per
Share payable in the Offer, or to make any other changes in the
terms and conditions of the Offer (provided that no change may be
made that decreases the price per Share payable in the Offer or
that imposes additional conditions to the Offer from those set
forth in Annex I hereto).  Merger Sub covenants and agrees that,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless the
Company otherwise consents in writing, Merger Sub will accept for
payment and pay for Shares as soon as it is permitted to do so
under applicable law.  The Per Share Cash Amount shall be net to
the seller in cash, subject to reduction only for any applicable
Federal back-up withholding or stock transfer taxes payable by
the seller.  The Company agrees that no Shares held by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) will
be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

          (b)  The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to
purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") having the conditions and
provisions set forth in Annex I hereto.  As soon as practicable
on the date the Offer is commenced, Parent and Merger Sub shall
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 (together with all
amendments and supplements thereto, the "Schedule 14D-1") with
respect to the Offer.  The Schedule 14D-1 will comply in all
material respects with the provisions of, and satisfy in all
material respects the requirements of, such Schedule 14D-1 and
all applicable Federal securities laws and will contain
(including as an exhibit) or incorporate by reference the Offer
to Purchase (or portions thereof) and forms of the related letter
of transmittal (which documents, together with any supplements or
amendments thereto, and any other SEC schedule or form that is
filed in connection with the Offer and related transactions, are




     
                                       3


referred to collectively herein as the "Offer Documents").  Each
of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company represents and warrants
that the information provided and to be provided by it and/or by
its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors or other consultants
or advisors specifically for use in the Schedule 14D-1 and the
Offer Documents on the date filed with the SEC and on the date
first published, sent or given to the Company's stockholders
shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees promptly to
correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule
14D-1 or the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall
have become false or misleading in any material respect and to
supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in
the Schedule 14D-1 or the Offer Documents to include any
information that shall become necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, and Parent and Merger Sub further
agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-1, as
so corrected or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the
Offer Documents, as so corrected or supplemented, to be
disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the
extent required by applicable Federal securities laws.  The
Company and its counsel shall be given the right to review and
comment on the Schedule 14D-1 before filing with the SEC.

          SECTION 1.02.  Company Action.  (a)  The Company hereby
approves of and consents to the Offer and represents and warrants
that the Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting duly
called and held on December 5, 1994, at which a majority of the
Directors were present, duly approved and adopted this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and
the Merger, recommended that the stockholders of the Company
accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer,
and determined that this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair
to and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
The Company further represents that Goldman, Sachs & Co.
("Goldman Sachs") has rendered to the Board of Directors of the
Company its opinion as of December 5, 1994, to the effect that
the consideration to be received by the stockholders of the
Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to such
stockholders (other than Parent and its affiliates).

          (b)  The Company hereby agrees to file with the SEC, as
promptly as practicable after the filing by Parent and Merger Sub
of the Schedule 14D-1 with respect to the Offer, a Tender Offer
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together




     
                                       4


with any amendments or supplements thereto, the "Schedule 14D-9")
that will comply in all material respects with the provisions of
all applicable Federal securities laws.  The Company agrees to
mail such Schedule 14D-9 to the stockholders of the Company
promptly after the commencement of the Offer.  The Schedule 14D-9
and the Offer Documents shall contain the recommendations of the
Board of Directors of the Company described in Section 1.02(a)
hereof.  The Schedule 14D-9, on the date filed with the SEC and
on the date first published, sent or given to the Company's
stockholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except
that no representation is made by the Company with respect to
written information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub specifically
for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9.  The Company agrees promptly
to correct the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall
become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of
Parent and Merger Sub, with respect to written information
supplied by it specifically for use in the Schedule 14D-9, shall
promptly notify the Company of any required corrections of such
information and cooperate with the Company with respect to
correcting such information and to supplement the information
contained in the Schedule 14D-9 to include any information that
shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to
cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC
and disseminated to the Company's stockholders to the extent
required by applicable Federal securities laws.  Parent and
Merger Sub, and their counsel, shall be given an opportunity to
review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 before filing with the
SEC.

          (c)  In connection with the Offer, the Company shall
promptly upon execution of this Agreement furnish Parent and
Merger Sub with mailing labels containing the names and addresses
of all record holders of Shares and security position listings of
Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, and
shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such additional
information, including updated lists of stockholders, mailing
labels and security position listings, and such other information
and assistance as Parent and Merger Sub or their agents may
reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to
the record and beneficial holders of Shares.

          SECTION 1.03.  Directors.  (a)  Promptly upon the
purchase by Merger Sub of a majority of the outstanding Shares
pursuant to the Offer, and from time to time thereafter as Shares
are acquired by Merger Sub, Merger Sub shall be entitled, subject




     
                                       5


to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), to designate such number of
directors, rounded to the nearest whole number (any number ending
with .5 being rounded to the next highest whole number), on the
Board of Directors of the Company as will give Merger Sub
representation on the Board of Directors equal to that number of
directors which equals the product of the total number of
directors on the Board of Directors (giving effect to the
directors appointed or elected pursuant to this sentence and
including current directors serving as officers of the Company)
multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of Shares
beneficially owned by Merger Sub or any affiliate of Merger Sub
(including for purposes of this Section 1.03 such Shares as are
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, but excluding Shares
held by the Company or any of its affiliates) bears to the number
of Shares outstanding, but in no event less than a majority of
the entire Board of Directors of the Company (regardless of
vacancies).  At such times, the Company will also cause (i) each
committee of the Board of Directors, (ii) if requested by Merger
Sub, the board of directors of each of the Company's Subsidiaries
(as defined below) and (iii) if requested by Merger Sub, each
committee of such board to include persons designated by Merger
Sub constituting the same percentage of each such committee or
board as Merger Sub's designees are of the Board of Directors.
The Company shall, upon request by Merger Sub, promptly increase
the size of the Board of Directors or exercise its best efforts
to secure the resignations of such number of directors as is
necessary to enable Merger Sub designees to be elected to the
Board of Directors and shall cause Merger Sub's designees to be
so elected; provided, however, that such resignations shall not
cause the number of Disinterested Directors (as defined below) to
be less than two.  Subject to applicable law, the Company shall
promptly take all action necessary pursuant to Section 14(f) of
the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder in order
to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.03 and shall
include in the Schedule 14D-9 mailed to stockholders promptly
after the commencement of the Offer (or an amendment thereof or
an information statement pursuant to Rule 14f-1 if Merger Sub has
not theretofore designated directors) such information with
respect to the Company and its officers and directors as is
required under Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill
its obligations under this Section 1.03.  Parent and Merger Sub
will supply the Company and be solely responsible for any
information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers,
directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule
14f-1.

          (b)  Following the election or appointment of Parent's
designees pursuant to this Section 1.03 and prior to the
Effective Time, any amendment of this Agreement or the Restated




     
                                       6


Articles of Incorporation or Restated Bylaws of the Company, any
termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension by
the Company of the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub or waiver of
any of the Company's rights hereunder, and any other consent or
action by the Board of Directors hereunder, will require the
concurrence of a majority (which shall be at least two) of the
directors of the Company then in office who are not designees of
Parent or Merger Sub (the "Disinterested Directors").


                           ARTICLE II
                           THE MERGER

                                       7


          SECTION 2.04.  Subsequent Actions.  If, at any time
after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall
consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale,
assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are
necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or
otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or
interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets
of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired
by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection

authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of
either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale,
assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on
behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other
actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest,
perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to
and under such rights, properties or assets of the Surviving
Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.05.  Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws;
Directors and Officers.  (a)  Unless otherwise determined by
Parent before the Effective Time, at the Effective Time the
Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect
immediately before the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
amended as permitted by law and such Articles of Incorporation;
provided, however, that Article One of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to
read as follows: "FIRST:  The name of the corporation is Magma
Power Company".

          (b)  The By-Laws of Merger Sub, as in effect
immediately before the Effective Time, shall be the By-Laws of
the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as permitted
by law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation and such By-Laws.

          (c)  The directors of Merger Sub immediately before the
Effective Time will be the initial directors of the Surviving
Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately before
the Effective Time will be the initial officers of the Surviving
Corporation, in each case until their successors are elected or
appointed and qualified.  If, at the Effective Time, a vacancy
shall exist on the Board of Directors or in any office of the
Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter be filled in
the manner provided by law or the By-laws of Merger Sub.

          SECTION 2.06.  Merger Consideration.  At the Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part




     
                                       8


of Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any of the following
securities:

          (a)  All Shares which are held by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, and any Shares owned by Parent, Merger
Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent, shall cease to be
outstanding, shall be canceled and retired without payment of any
consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

          (b)  Subject to Section 2.09, each remaining
outstanding Share shall be converted in the Merger into the right
to receive that amount of cash and that number of shares of
common stock, par value $0.0675 per share, of Parent (the "Parent
Common Stock") equal to, at the option of Parent, (i) the All
Cash Component Amount (as defined below), net in cash, without
interest thereon, or (ii) both (A) the Mixed Cash Component
Amount (as defined below), net in cash, without interest thereon,
and (B) the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (I) $39.00 less (II)
the Mixed Cash Component Amount divided by the Average Closing
Price (as defined below) (the All Cash Component Amount or
(ii)(A) and (ii)(B), collectively, as applicable, being the
"Merger Consideration").  The "Mixed Cash Component Amount" shall
mean an amount equal to the quotient of (A) (x) $28.50 multiplied
by the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time less
(y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by Parent and
any of its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time,
divided by (B) the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective
Time (other than Shares owned by Parent and any of its
affiliates).  The "All Cash Component Amount" shall mean an
amount equal to the quotient of (A) (x) $38.75 multiplied by the
number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time less (y)
$39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by Parent and any
of its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time,
divided by (B) the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective
Time (other than Shares owned by Parent and any of its
affiliates).  The "Average Closing Price" shall mean the average
closing price of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE") during the 15 consecutive trading days
ending on the fifth business day prior to the Effective Time;
provided, however, that if such average closing price exceeds
$18.73, the Average Closing Price shall be $18.73, and if such
average closing price is less than $14.27, the Average Closing
Price shall be $14.27.

          (c)  All Shares to be converted into the right to
receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.06
shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate
representing any such Shares shall thereafter cease to have any




     
                                       9


rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive
for each of the Shares, upon the surrender of such certificate in
accordance with Section 2.08, the Merger Consideration and cash
in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as
contemplated by Section 2.09.

          (d)  Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock
of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid
and nonassessable share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the
Surviving Corporation.

          SECTION 2.07.  Dissenting Company Common Stock.  (a)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any Shares held by a holder who has demanded and perfected his
demand for appraisal of his shares of Company Common Stock in
accordance with Nevada Law and as of the Effective Time has
neither effectively withdrawn nor lost his right to such
appraisal ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or
represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to
Section 2.06(b), but the holder thereof shall be entitled to only
such rights as are granted by Nevada Law.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)
of this Section 2.07, if any holder of shares of Company Common
Stock who demands appraisal of his shares under Nevada Law shall
effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or
otherwise) his right to appraisal, then, as of the Effective Time
or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such
holder's shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be
converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 2.06(b), without interest
thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Company Common Stock.

          (c)  The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of
any written demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of
any Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any
other instruments served pursuant to Nevada Law received by the
Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Nevada
Law.  The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with
respect to any demands for appraisal and shall not, except with
the prior written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle
any such demands.

          SECTION 2.08.  Surrender of Company Common Stock; Stock
Transfer Books.  (a)  Before the Effective Time, the Company and
Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act as agent
for the holders of Company Common Stock (the "Exchange Agent") to
receive the funds and securities necessary to make the payments




     
                                       10


contemplated by Section 2.06.  Such funds shall be invested by
the Exchange Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation,
provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or
guaranteed by the United States of America or of any agency
thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or
P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or Standard &
Poor's Corporation, respectively, or in deposit accounts,
certificates of deposit or banker's acceptances of, repurchase or
reverse repurchase agreements with, or Eurodollar time deposits
purchased from, commercial banks with capital, surplus and
undivided profits aggregating in excess of $200 million (based on
the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then
publicly available at the SEC or otherwise).

          (b)  Each holder of a certificate or certificates
representing any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock
("Certificates") canceled upon the Merger pursuant to Section
2.06(b) may thereafter surrender such Certificate or Certificates
to the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holder, to effect the
surrender of such Certificate or Certificates on such holder's
behalf for a period ending one year after the Effective Time.

          Any portion of the Merger Consideration which remains
unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company for one year
after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon
demand of Parent.  Parent agrees that promptly after the
Effective Time it shall cause the distribution to holders of
record of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time
appropriate materials to facilitate such surrender, including (i)
a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the
Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use
in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment
therefor.  Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal duly
executed and any other required documents, the holder of such
Certificates shall be entitled to receive for each of the shares
of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates the
Merger Consideration and the Certificates so surrendered shall
forthwith be canceled.  Until so surrendered, Certificates shall
represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration
and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
as contemplated by Section 2.09 with respect to each of the
shares contemplated thereby.

          (c)  If payment of the Merger Consideration in respect
of canceled Shares is to be made to a person other than the
person in whose name a surrendered Certificate or instrument is




     
                                       11


registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the
Certificate or instrument so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and
that the person requesting such payment shall have paid any
transfer and other taxes required by reason of such payment in a
name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate
or instrument surrendered or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either
has been paid or is not payable.

          (d)  At the close of business on the day of the
Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be
closed and there shall not be any further registration of
transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company.
If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the
Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for
the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.06(b).  No
interest shall accrue or be paid on any cash payable upon the
surrender of a Certificate or Certificates which immediately
before the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock.

          SECTION 2.09.  No Fractional Shares.  No Certificates
or scrip representing less than one share of Parent Common Stock
shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates
representing shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section
2.06(b). In lieu of any such fractional share, each holder of
Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a
share of Parent Common Stock upon surrender of Certificates for
exchange pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be paid upon such
surrender cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such
holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale
or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of
all such holders, of the aggregate fractional Parent Common Stock
issued pursuant to this Section 2.09.  As soon as practicable
following the Effective Time the Exchange Agent shall determine
the excess of (i) the number of full shares of Parent Common
Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent over (ii) the
aggregate number of full shares of Parent Common Stock to be
distributed to holders of Company Common Stock (such excess being
herein called the "Excess Shares"), and the Exchange Agent, as
agent for the former holders of Company Common Stock, shall sell
the Excess Shares at the prevailing prices on the NYSE.  The sale
of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on
the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent
practicable.  The Exchange Agent shall deduct from the proceeds
of the sale of the Excess Shares all commissions, transfer taxes
and other reasonable out-of-pocket transaction costs, including
any expenses of the Exchange Agent, incurred in connection with
such sale of Excess Shares.  Until the net proceeds of such sale




     
                                       12


have been distributed to the former stockholders of the Company,
the Exchange Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for such
former stockholders.  As soon as practicable after the
determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former
stockholders of the Company in lieu of any fractional interests,
the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this
Agreement such amounts to such former stockholders.

          SECTION 2.10.  Stock Options; Deferred Stock.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (a) each unexpired and
unexercised option to purchase Shares (each, a "Company Option"),
under the Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan and 1994 Equity
Participation Plan (collectively, the "Company Stock Option
Plans"), whether or not then exercisable, shall be cancelled by
the Company, and each holder of a cancelled Company Option shall
be entitled to receive at the Effective Time or as soon as
practicable thereafter from the Company in consideration for the
cancellation of such Company Option an amount in cash equal to
the product of (i) the number of Shares previously subject to
such Company Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share
Cash Amount or, if the election contemplated by Section
2.06(b)(i) has been made by Parent, $38.75, over the exercise
price per Share previously subject to such Company Option, and
(b) each outstanding unvested share of deferred stock under the
Company's 1994 Equity Participation Plan or otherwise identified
on Schedule 4.03 (each, a "Deferred Share") shall be cancelled by
the Company, and each holder of a cancelled Deferred Share shall
be entitled to receive at the Effective Time or as soon as
practicable thereafter from the Company in consideration for the
cancellation of such Deferred Share an amount in cash equal to
the Per Share Cash Amount or, if the election contemplated by
Section 2.06(b)(i) has been made by Parent, $38.75.

          SECTION 2.11.  Dividends; Transfer Taxes.  No dividends
or other distributions that are declared or made on Parent Common
Stock will be paid to persons entitled to receive certificates
representing Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement until
such persons surrender their Certificates representing Company
Common Stock.  Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the
person in whose name the certificates representing such Parent
Common Stock shall be issued any dividends or other distributions
that shall have become payable with respect to such Parent Common
Stock in respect of a record date after the Effective Time.  In
no event shall the person entitled to receive such dividends be
entitled to receive interest on such dividends.  Neither the
Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder
of Shares for any shares of Parent Common Stock or dividends
thereon delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
escheat laws.

          SECTION 2.12.  Stockholders' Meetings.  (a)  The
Company shall take all action necessary, in accordance with
applicable law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, to
convene a special meeting of the holders of Shares (the "Company
Meeting") as promptly as practicable after consummation of the
Offer for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this
Agreement and the Merger.  The stockholder vote required for
approval of the Merger will be no greater than that set forth in
Nevada Law.  The Board of Directors of the Company will recommend
that holders of Shares vote in favor of and approve the Merger.
The Company will use its best efforts to solicit from
stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the Merger and
will take all other action necessary or, in the reasonable
opinion of Parent, advisable to secure any vote of stockholders
required by Nevada Law to effect the Merger.  At the Company
Meeting, all of the Shares then owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or
any other subsidiary of Parent, or with respect to which Parent,
Merger Sub, or any other subsidiary of Parent holds the power to
direct the voting, will be voted in favor of approval of the
Merger and adoption of this Agreement.

          (b)  Parent shall take all action necessary, unless
Parent has elected the All Cash Component under
Section 2.06(b)(i), in accordance with applicable law and its
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, to convene a special
meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock (the "Parent
Meeting") as promptly as practicable after consummation of the
Offer for the purpose of considering and taking action to (i)
authorize the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the
Merger under the applicable guidelines of the NYSE (the "Parent
Share Proposal") and (ii) authorize the increase of the
authorized Parent Common Stock from 60,000,000 shares to no more
than 80,000,000 shares or such greater number of shares as shall
be required to issue the Parent Common Stock in the Merger.  The
Board of Directors of Parent will (i) recommend that holders of
Parent Common Stock vote in favor of and approve the Parent Share
Proposal at the Parent Meeting and (ii) recommend that holders of
Parent Common Stock vote in favor of and approve an amendment to
its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized Parent
Common Stock from 60,000,000 shares to no more than 80,000,000
shares or such greater number of shares as shall be required to
issue the Parent Common Stock in the Merger (the "Charter
Amendment").  Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to
solicit from stockholders of Parent proxies in favor of the
Parent Share Proposal and the Charter Amendment and will take all
other action necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the
Company, advisable to secure any vote of stockholders required by
Delaware Law to effect the Merger.

its best efforts to cause up to two nominees of the Company
designated in writing to Parent prior to the closing of the

Directors of Parent.

          (b)  Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall
provide all reasonable assistance to, and shall cooperate with,
each other to bring about the consummation of the Offer and the
Merger as soon as possible in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  Parent shall cause Merger Sub to
perform all of its obligations in connection with this Agreement.

on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good
standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its

Parent and Merger Sub.  The term "Parent Subsidiary" means any

partnership, joint venture or other legal entity.  When used in
connection with Parent and Merger Sub, the term "Material Adverse
Effect" means any change or effect, when taken together with all
other adverse changes and effects relating to Parent or Merger

applicable to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or by which any
property or asset of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is bound,
(ii) a failure to receive any contract for which Parent or any
Parent Subsidiary has submitted or will submit a competitive bid,
(iii) the loss of any contract or arrangement (whether by
revocation, lapse or invalidity) with respect to a project that
Parent or a Parent Subsidiary has under development other than
any such loss resulting from a breach by Parent of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.22 or 3.23
hereof, (iv) a failure to close any public or private financing
of any project in which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary owns a
direct or indirect interest or (v) the termination of the
employment of any employee, officer, director or consultant of

interest in any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or
other business association or entity.

any rights of termination or cancellation of, or result in the
creation of a lien or encumbrance on any of the property or
assets of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary pursuant to, any
contract, instrument, permit, license or franchise to which
Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party or by which Parent or
any Parent Subsidiary or any of their property is bound or
affected, except in the case of (i) or (iii) for conflicts,
violations, breaches or defaults that, in the aggregate, would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b)  Except for applicable requirements, if any, of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the
Exchange Act, "blue sky" laws of various states, the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc. and filing and recordation of appropriate
merger documents as required by Delaware Law and Nevada Law,
neither Parent nor Merger Sub is required to submit any notice,
report or other filing with any governmental authority, domestic
or foreign, in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Except as aforesaid, no
waiver, consent, approval or authorization of any governmental or
regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, is required to be

with its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.

          SECTION 3.06.  SEC Filings; Financial Statements.  (a)
Parent has filed all forms, reports and documents required to be
filed with the SEC since January 1, 1992, and has heretofore
delivered (or made available) to the Company, in the form filed

years ended December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992,
respectively, (ii) all proxy statements relating to the Company's
meetings of stockholders (whether annual or special) held since
January 1, 1992, and (iii) all other reports or registration
statements (including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) filed by

"Parent SEC Reports").  The Parent SEC Reports (i) were prepared
in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and
(ii) did not at the time they were filed contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under that




     
                                       18


they were made, not misleading.  No Parent Subsidiary is required
to file any statements or reports with the SEC pursuant to
Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

          (b)  The consolidated financial statements contained in
the Parent SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated
in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated
financial position of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries as at
the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of
operations and changes in financial position of Parent and the
Parent Subsidiaries for the periods indicated, except that the
unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to
normal and recurring year-end adjustments which were not or are
not expected to be material in amount.

          (c)  Except as reflected or reserved against in the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Parent SEC
Reports, and except as set forth on Schedule 3.06, Parent and the
Parent Subsidiaries have no liabilities of any nature (whether
accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) that in the aggregate
could have a Material Adverse Effect or any bonds, debentures,
notes, letters of credit or other indebtedness (including
guarantees) for any amount greater than $1,000,000.  Since
September 30, 1994, neither Parent nor any of the Parent
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities material to Parent and
the Parent Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except (i) liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practice, (ii) liabilities incurred in connection with or as
a result of the Offer or the Merger or (iii) liabilities
disclosed on Schedule 3.06.

          SECTION 3.07.  Absence of Certain Changes or Events.
Since September 30, 1994, except as contemplated in this
Agreement or as specifically disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports
or the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 that was
originally filed by Parent and Merger Sub with the SEC on October
6, 1994 (as amended to the date hereof) (the "Previous 14D-1") or
as appears on Schedule 3.07, there has not been:

          (a)  any Material Adverse Effect;

          (b)  any redemption or other acquisition of Parent
     Common Stock by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries
     (other than pursuant to a plan of repurchase under
     Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act) or any declaration or
     payment of any dividend or other distribution in cash, stock
     or property with respect to Parent Common Stock;



     
                                       19


          (c)  any entry into any material commitment or
     transaction (including, without limitation, any borrowing or
     capital expenditure) other than in the ordinary course of
     business or as contemplated by this Agreement; or

          (d)  any change by Parent in accounting principles or
     methods except insofar as such change may have been required
     by a change in generally accepted accounting principles and
     disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports.

Since September 30, 1994, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.07,
the Previous 14D-1 or in the Parent SEC Reports, Parent and the
Parent Subsidiaries have conducted their business only in the
ordinary course and in a manner consistent with past practice and
have not made any material change in the conduct of the business
or operations of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

          SECTION 3.08.  Title to Property.  Parent and the
Parent Subsidiaries have good and marketable title, or valid
leasehold rights in the case of leased property, to all real
property and all personal property purported to be owned or
leased by them, except where the failure to have such title or
rights would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.09.  Litigation.  Except as disclosed in the
Parent SEC Reports, the Previous 14D-1, or as disclosed on
Schedule 3.09, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings
or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of Parent,
threatened against Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, or
any properties or rights of Parent or any of the Parent
Subsidiaries, before any court, administrative, governmental or
regulatory authority or body, domestic or foreign, which are
reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
Effect or would, and are reasonably likely to, prevent or delay
the performance of this Agreement.  As of the date hereof,
neither Parent nor any of the Parent Subsidiaries nor any of
their property is subject to any order, judgment, injunction or
decree having a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.10.  Financing Arrangements.  Parent and
Merger Sub have  obtained a commitment letter from Credit Suisse
with respect to the financing for the Offer and the Merger (the
"Commitment Letter").  The Commitment Letter is in full force and
effect on the date of this Agreement, and Parent and Merger Sub
know of no reason why the financing contemplated by the
Commitment Letter will not be consummated in accordance with its
terms.




     
                                       20


          SECTION 3.11.  No Prior Activities.  Except for
obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with its
incorporation or organization or the negotiation and consummation
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including any financing), Merger Sub has not incurred any
obligations or liabilities, and has not engaged in any business
or activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any
agreements or arrangements with any person or entity.

          SECTION 3.12.  Brokers.  No broker, finder or
investment banker (other than Gleacher & Co. Inc. ("Gleacher")
and Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers")) is entitled to any

Company and Parent (the "Proxy Statement") required to be mailed
to the stockholders of the Company and Parent in connection with
the Merger will, in the case of the Proxy Statement or any
amendments or supplements thereto, at the time of the mailing of
the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto,
and at the time of the Parent Meeting to be held in connection
with the Merger, or, in the case of the Registration Statement,
at the time it becomes effective and at the Effective Time,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  The
Registration Statement will comply as to form in all material
respects with the provisions of the Securities Act, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Proxy Statement will
comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

          SECTION 3.14.  Conduct of Business.  Except as

each of the Parent Subsidiaries is not being conducted in default
or violation of any term, condition or provision of (i) its
respective Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar
organizational documents, or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement, lease or other instrument or
agreement of any kind to which Parent or any of the Parent
Subsidiaries is now a party or by which Parent or any of the




     
                                       21


Parent Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or

other governmental authorization or approval applicable to Parent
or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, except, with respect to the
foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), defaults or violations that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.

foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health

events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise
to any common law or other legal liability, including, without
limitation, liability under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") or
similar state or local laws, which liabilities, either
individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.16.  Energy Regulatory Status.  (a)  Each of
the operational electric generation facilities ("Plants") owned
in whole or part, directly or indirectly by:  (i) Parent, or (ii)
any legal entity in which Parent directly or indirectly owns more
than 50% of the voting stock or other equity interest, including
any partnership in which Parent has an interest, is a "qualifying
small power production facility" ("Small Power QF"), as such term
is defined in the Federal Power Act, as amended ("FPA"), and the




     
                                       22


regulations thereunder, and has continuously been in compliance
with the requirements for being a Small Power QF since it
commenced sales of electricity.

          (b)  The owner of each of the Plants under development
by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary and located in the United
States will, no later than the date operations commence, either
qualify as a "qualifying small power producer" or an "exempt
wholesale generator" ("EWOG"), as such terms are defined in FPA,
the regulations under the FPA, and the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended ("PUHCA").

          (c)  The owner of each of the Plants under development
by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary and located outside the United
States will, no later than the date operations commence, either
qualify as an EWOG or a "foreign utility company", as such term
is defined under PUHCA and the regulations thereunder.

          (d)  Neither Parent nor any "affiliate" of Parent is a
"public utility company" or a "public utility holding company",
as such terms are defined in PUHCA and the regulations
thereunder, a "public utility" as defined in the FPA and the
regulations thereunder, or subject to regulations by any state
public utilities commission or similar state regulatory body.

          (e)  Each of the Plants obtained any necessary
certificates or permits from state regulatory authorities for

          SECTION 3.17.  Employee Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.
(a)  With respect to each U.S. or foreign employee benefit plan,
program, arrangement and contract (including, without limitation,
any "employee benefit plan", as defined in Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")) and any executive compensation arrangement, whether or
not funded, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any Parent
Subsidiary, or with respect to which Parent or any Parent
Subsidiary could incur liability under Section 4069, 4212(c) or
4204 of ERISA, as well as any employee benefit plan that is
subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA and which
is maintained or contributed to by any other trade or business
(whether or not incorporated) which is treated as a single
employer with Parent under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the
Code (each such trade or business being referred to herein as a
"Code Affiliate") (the "Parent Benefit Plans"), Parent has made
available to the Company a true and correct copy of (i) the most
recent annual report (Form 5500) filed with the Internal Revenue



     
                                       23


Service (the "IRS"), (ii) such Parent Benefit Plan, (iii) each
trust agreement relating to such Parent Benefit Plan, (iv) the
most recent summary plan description for each Parent Benefit Plan
for which a summary plan description is required, (v) the most
recent actuarial report or valuation relating to a Parent Benefit
Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, if any, (vi) the most recent
determination letter, if any, issued by the IRS with respect to
any Parent Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code and (vii) the most recent annual and periodic accounting of
related plan assets, if any.

          (b)  With respect to the Parent Benefit Plans, no event
has occurred and, to the knowledge of Parent, there exists no
condition or set of circumstances, in connection with which
Parent or any Parent Subsidiary could be subject to any liability
under the terms of such Parent Benefit Plans, ERISA, the Code or
any other applicable Law which would have a Material Adverse
Effect.  No claim has been asserted or, to the knowledge of
Parent, threatened, by the IRS, the Department of Labor or any
participant of a Parent Benefit Plan that Parent or any Parent
Subsidiary has, with respect to any Parent Benefit Plan, engaged
in or been a party to any "prohibited transaction," as such term
is defined in Section 4975 of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA,
which would result in the imposition of either a penalty assessed
pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed by section
4975 of the Code, in each case applicable to Parent, any Parent
Subsidiary or any Parent Benefit Plan.  Each Parent Benefit Plan
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code does so
qualify, and the trusts created thereunder are exempt from tax
under Section 501(a) of the Code, and each such Parent Benefit

Section 3(37) of ERISA), which (i) is a "defined benefit plan"
(as defined in Section 414(j) of the Code) or (ii) is subject to
Title IV of ERISA.

employed by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, no collective
bargaining agreement is being negotiated by Parent or any Parent
Subsidiary and neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary knows of
any activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any

material respects with all applicable laws relating to employment
and employment practices, wages, hours, and terms and conditions

Subsidiary pending or, to Parent's knowledge, threatened which
may interfere with the respective business activities of Parent
or the Parent Subsidiaries, except where such non-compliance,
charge, dispute, strike or work stoppage would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  As of the date hereof, to the knowledge
of Parent, none of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, or their
respective representatives or employees, has committed any unfair
labor practices in connection with the operation of the
respective businesses of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries, and
there is no charge or complaint against Parent or the Parent
Subsidiaries by the National Labor Relations Board or any

all material respects and (ii) all Taxes (as defined below) shown
to be due on such Tax Returns, all Taxes required to be paid on
an estimated or installment basis, and all Taxes required to be




     
                                       25


withheld with respect to the Parent or any of the Parent
Subsidiaries or their respective operations or assets have been
timely paid or, if applicable, withheld and paid to the
appropriate taxing authority in the manner provided by law,

Parent Subsidiaries own or possess adequate licenses or other
valid rights to use all patents, patent rights, trademarks,
trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights and proprietary

any assertions or claims challenging the validity of any of the
foregoing which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and, to the best knowledge of Parent, the conduct of
Parent's business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted
does not and will not conflict with any patents, patent rights,
licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name
rights or copyrights of others known to the Parent or the Parent
Subsidiaries in any way reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  No material infringement of any proprietary

                           ARTICLE IV
          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

          SECTION 4.01.  Corporate Organization; Subsidiaries.
Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite
corporate power and authority and any material necessary
governmental authority to own, operate or lease the properties
that it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in
each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned,
operated or leased or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary, except for such failure which, when
taken together with all other such failures, would not have a




     
                                       28


Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on the Company.  The
term "Subsidiary" means any corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other legal entity of which the Company or, if the
context requires, the Surviving Corporation (either alone or
through or together with any other Subsidiary) owns, directly or
indirectly, 50% or more of the stock or other equity interests,
or owns, directly or indirectly, interests such that the holders
are generally entitled to vote for the election of 50% of the
board of directors or other governing body, of such corporation,
partnership, joint venture or other legal entity.  When used in
connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the term
"Material Adverse Effect" means any change or effect, when taken
together with all other adverse changes and effects relating to
the Company and its Subsidiaries, that is or is reasonably likely
to be materially adverse to the business, operations, properties,
condition (financial or otherwise), assets or liabilities
(including, without limitation, contingent liabilities) of the
Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however,
that the occurrence of any or all of the following shall not
constitute a Material Adverse Effect:  (i) any change in any law
applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound,
(ii) a failure to receive any contract or award for which the
Company or any Subsidiary has submitted or will submit a
competitive bid, (iii) the loss of any contract or arrangement
(whether by revocation, lapse or invalidity) with respect to a
project that the Company or any Subsidiary has under development,
other than any such loss related to the Malitbog project or Fish
Lake project and other than any such loss resulting from a breach
by the Company of the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 4.22 and 4.23 hereof, (iv) an unfavorable ruling by the
California Public Utilities Commission with respect to the
Company's California plants under the pending Biennial Resource
Plan Update, (v) a loss of, or unfavorable ruling in, the
Company's pending litigation against Southern California Edison

the energy price payable for deliveries over nameplate capacity
and not insofar as any unfavorable ruling affects the validity or
enforceability of any contract subject thereto or the
enforceability of any material term thereof, (vi) a failure to
close any public or private financing of any project in which the
Company or any Subsidiary owns a direct or indirect interest
(other than as a result of a loss with respect to the Malitbog
project or the Fish Lake project or as a result of a breach by
the Company of the representation and warranties set forth in
Section 4.22 or 4.23 hereof), or (vii) the termination of the
employment of any employee, officer, director or consultant of
the Company or any Subsidiary.  A true and complete list of all

any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to, any contract, instrument,
permit, license or franchise to which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or its or any of their property is bound or
affected, except as set forth on Schedule 4.05 and except in the
case of (i) or (iii) for conflicts, violations, breaches or

Adverse Effect.




     
                                       31


          (b)  Except for applicable requirements, if any, of the
Exchange Act and filing and recordation of appropriate merger or

required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with
its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.

          SECTION 4.06.  SEC Filings; Financial Statements.  (a)
The Company has filed all forms, reports and documents required
to be filed with the SEC since January 1, 1992, and has
heretofore delivered (or made available) to Parent, in the form
filed with the SEC, its (i) Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992,
respectively, (ii) all proxy statements relating to the Company's

"Company SEC Reports").  The Company SEC Reports (i) were
prepared in all material respects in accordance with the
requirements of the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, as the
case may be and (ii) did not at the time they were filed contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.  No Subsidiary is
required to file any statements or reports with the SEC pursuant
to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

          (b)  The consolidated financial statements contained in
the Company SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated
in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the
respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of
operations and changes in financial position of the Company and
its Subsidiaries for the periods indicated, except that the
unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to
normal and recurring year-end adjustments which were not or are
not expected to be material in amount.




     
                                       32


          (c)  Except as reflected or reserved against in the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company SEC
Reports, and except as set forth on Schedule 4.06, the Company
and its Subsidiaries have no liabilities of any nature (whether
accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which in the
aggregate could have a Material Adverse Effect or any bonds,
debentures, notes, letters of credit or other indebtedness
(including guarantees) for any amount greater than $1,000,000.
Since September 30, 1994, neither the Company nor any of the
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities material to the Company

          SECTION 4.07.  Absence of Certain Changes or Events.
Since September 30, 1994, except as contemplated in this
Agreement or as specifically disclosed in the Company SEC Reports
or the Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on
Schedule 14D-9 that was originally filed by the Company with the
SEC on October 11, 1994 with respect to Parent's previous tender
offer (as amended to the date hereof) (the "Previous 14D-9"), or
as appears on Schedule 4.07, there has not been:

          (a)  any Material Adverse Effect;

          (b)  any redemption or other acquisition of Company

          (c)  any entry into any material commitment or
     transaction (including, without limitation, any borrowing or
     capital expenditure) other than in the ordinary course of
     business or as contemplated by this Agreement;

          (d)  any transfer of, or rights granted under, any
     material leases, licenses, agreements, patents, trademarks,
     trade names or copyrights other than those transferred or
     granted in the ordinary course of business and consistent
     with past practice;

          (e)  any mortgage, pledge, security interest or
     imposition of lien or other encumbrance on any asset of the
     Company or any of the Subsidiaries that when viewed in the
     aggregate with all such other encumbrances is material to
     the business, financial condition or operations of the
     Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole; or




     
                                       33


          (f)  any change by the Company in accounting principles
     or methods except insofar as such change may have been
     required by a change in generally accepted accounting
     principles and disclosed in the Company SEC Reports.

in the Company SEC Reports or the Previous 14D-9, the Company and

or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company has not, since such date, except for the contracts
referred to in the Company SEC Reports or as disclosed on
Schedule 4.07 or in the Previous 14D-9, made any changes in
executive compensation levels (other than increases in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice) or
in the manner in which other employees of the Company or the
Subsidiaries are compensated, paid or agreed to pay any pension,
retirement allowance or other employee benefit not required or
permitted by the terms of any plan, agreement or arrangement
existing on such date to any director, officer or employee,
whether past or present, or committed itself to any collective
bargaining agreement (except for renewals of existing collective
bargaining agreements) or to any additional pension,
profit-sharing, bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, stock
purchase, stock option, stock appreciation right, group
insurance, severance pay, retirement or other employee benefit
plan, agreement or arrangement, or to any employment or
consulting agreement with or for the benefit of any person, or to
amend any of such plans or any of such agreements in existence on
such date.

          SECTION 4.08.  Title to Property.   The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title, or valid leasehold
rights in the case of leased property, to all real property and
all personal property purported to be owned or leased by them,
except where the failure to have such title or right would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no material
mechanics', materialmen's, laborers', employees', suppliers' or
other liens arising by operation of law on any of the Company's
properties.

          SECTION 4.09.  Litigation.  Except as disclosed in the
Company SEC Reports, the Previous 14D-9 or as disclosed on
Schedule 4.09, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings
or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any properties or rights of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, before any court, administrative,




     
                                       34


governmental or regulatory authority or body, domestic or
foreign, which are reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect or would, and are reasonably likely to,
prevent or delay the performance of this Agreement.  As of the
date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any of their property is subject to any order, judgment,
injunction or decree, having a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.10.  Information in Disclosure Documents.
None of the information with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries to be included or incorporated by reference in the
Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement will, in the case
of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto,

consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders
pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to the stockholders
of the Company (other than Parent and its affiliates).

          SECTION 4.12.  Brokers.  No broker, finder or

          SECTION 4.13.  Takeover Provisions Inapplicable; Rights

on or prior to the Effective Time, Sections 78.378 through
78.3793, inclusive, and Sections 78.411 through 78.444,
inclusive, of Nevada Law are, and shall be, inapplicable to the
Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement including, without limitation, the pledge of the shares
of Company Common Stock acquired in the Offer to the lending




     
                                       35


institutions providing the financing for the Offer, and the
transfer of such shares upon the exercise of remedies under the
applicable agreements.  The Company has heretofore delivered to
Parent a complete and correct copy of the resolutions of the
Board of Directors of the Company to the effect that such
sections of Nevada Law are, and shall be, inapplicable to the
Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

          (b)  The Board of Directors of the Company has taken
all necessary action with respect to the Rights Agreement, such
that none of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the
purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the exchange of the
Shares for the shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in
accordance with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by
this agreement will cause (A) the rights (the "Rights") issued
pursuant to the Rights Agreement to become exercisable under the
Rights Agreement, (B) Parent, Merger Sub and any of their
associates or affiliates (as such terms are defined in the Rights
Agreement) to be deemed an "Acquiring Person" (as defined in the

respective Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar
organizational documents, or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement, lease or other instrument or
agreement of any kind to which the Company or any of the

Schedule 4.15 hereto, to the knowledge of the Company, there are,
with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
real property currently or formerly owned, leased, or otherwise
used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no past or
present violations of Environmental Laws, releases of any
material into the environment, actions, activities,
circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual




     
                                       36


obligations which may give rise to any common law or other legal
liability, including, without limitation, liability under CERCLA
or similar state or local laws, which liabilities, either
individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 4.16.  Energy Regulatory Status.  (a)  Each of
the Plants owned in whole or part, directly or indirectly by: (i)
the Company or (ii) any legal entity in which the Company

Company has an interest, is a Small Power QF, as such term is
defined in the FPA, and the regulations thereunder, and has
continuously been in compliance with the requirements for being a
Small Power QF since it commenced sales of electricity.

          (b)  The owner of each of the Plants under development
by the Company or any Subsidiary and located in the United States
will, no later than the date operations commence, either qualify
as a "qualifying small power producer" or an EWOG, as such terms
are defined in the FPA, the regulations under the FPA, and the
PUHCA.

          (c)  The owner of each of the Plants under development
by the Company or any Subsidiary and located outside the United

          (d)  Neither the Company nor any "affiliate" of the

state public utilities commission or similar state regulatory

          (e)  Each of the Plants obtained any necessary
certificates or permits from state regulatory authorities for
construction of each of the operational Plants and associated
transmission equipment owned by the owners of the Plant, and each
other entity constructing, owning or operating any of the

          SECTION 4.17.  Employee Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.
(a)  With respect to each U.S. or foreign employee benefit plan,
program, arrangement and contract (including, without limitation,
any "employee benefit plan", as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA)
and any executive compensation arrangement, whether or not
funded, maintained or contributed to by the Company or any of its




     
                                       37


Subsidiaries, or with respect to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries could incur liability under Section 4069, 4212(c) or
4204 of ERISA, as well as any employee benefit plan that is
subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA and which
is maintained or contributed to by any other trade or business
(whether or not incorporated) which is treated as a single
employer with the Company under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o)
of the Code (each such trade or business being referred to herein
as a "Code Affiliate") (the "Company Benefit Plans"), the Company
has made available to Parent a true and correct copy of (i) the
most recent annual report (Form 5500) filed with the IRS,
(ii) such Company Benefit Plan, (iii) each trust agreement
relating to such Company Benefit Plan, (iv) the most recent
summary plan description for each Company Benefit Plan for which
a summary plan description is required, (v) the most recent
actuarial report or valuation relating to a Company Benefit Plan
subject to Title IV of ERISA, if any, (vi) the most recent
determination letter, if any, issued by the IRS with respect to
any Company Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code and (vii) the most recent annual and periodic accounting of
related plan assets, if any.

          (b)  With respect to the Company Benefit Plans, no
event has occurred and, to the knowledge of the Company, there
exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could be subject to
any liability under the terms of such Company Benefit Plans,
ERISA, the Code or any other applicable Law which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.  No claim has been asserted, or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened by the IRS, the Department
of Labor or any participant of a Company Benefit Plan that the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries has, with respect to any
Company Benefit Plan, engaged in or been a party to any
"prohibited transaction", as such term is defined in Section 4975
of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA, which could result in the
imposition of either a penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502
of ERISA or a tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code, in each
case applicable to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Company
Benefit Plan.  Each Company Benefit Plan intended to qualify
under Section 401(a) of the Code does so qualify, and the trusts
created thereunder are exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of
the Code, and each such Company Benefit Plan will be amended in
the manner required by the Code by December 31, 1994, and has
been or will be submitted to the IRS on or prior to March 31,
1995 for a determination letter confirming that such Company
Benefit Plan meets the currently applicable requirements for
qualification and exemption from taxation under Sections 401(a)
and 501(a) of the Code.  No Company Benefit Plan has plan assets
invested in any insurance company which is or has been in
insolvency proceedings within the last 3 years.  No Company




     
                                       38


Benefit Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code has incurred any
"accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in ERISA), whether
or not waived.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
or Code Affiliates has at any time since 1987 maintained or
contributed to any Company Benefit Plan, including without
limitation any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37)
of ERISA), which (i) is a "defined benefit plan", (as defined in
Section 414(j) of the Code) or (ii) is subject to Title IV of
ERISA.

          (c)  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.17, (i) neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
collective bargaining or other labor union contract applicable to
persons employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) no
collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any activities or
proceedings of any labor union to organize any of their
respective employees.  As of the date hereof, the Company and all
of its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects
with all applicable laws relating to employment and employment
practices, wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment,
there are no material charges with respect to or relating to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending before the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission or any state, local or foreign
agency responsible for the prevention of unlawful employment
practices, and there is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the
Company's knowledge, threatened which may interfere with the
respective business activities of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, except where such noncompliance, charge, dispute,
strike or work stoppage would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Company, none of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective
representatives or employees, has committed any unfair labor
practices in connection with the operation of the respective
businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and there is no
charge or complaint against the Company or its Subsidiaries by
the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable state agency
pending or threatened in writing, except where such unfair labor
practice, charge or complaint would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (d)  The Company has made available to Parent
(i) copies of all employment agreements with officers of the
Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) copies of all severance
agreements, programs and policies of the Company with or relating
to its employees; and (iii) copies of all plans, programs,
agreements and other arrangements of the Company with or relating
to its employees which contain change in control provisions

and risks (including product liability) as are customary to
protect the properties and businesses of each of the Company and
the Subsidiaries.

          SECTION 4.19.  Taxes.  (a)  Except as set forth in
Schedule 4.19, and except as would not, either individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company
and each of the Subsidiaries have timely filed with the
appropriate governmental authorities all Tax Returns (as defined
below) required to be filed by or with respect to the Company and
each of the Subsidiaries or their respective operations or
assets, and such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in
all material respects and (ii) all Taxes shown to be due on such
Tax Returns and all Taxes required to be withheld with respect to

withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority in the
manner provided by law, except in each case for such Taxes which

          (b)  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries
has filed a consent to the application of Section 341(f) of the
Code.

          (c)  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.19, no property

Subsidiaries will be required to treat as being owned by another
person pursuant to Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954, as amended, in effect immediately before the enactment
of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

information used or held for use in connection with, and material
to, its business as currently being conducted and are unaware of
any assertions or claims challenging the validity of any of the
foregoing which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and, to the best knowledge of the Company, the conduct of
the Company's business as now conducted or proposed to be
conducted does not and will not conflict with any patents, patent
rights, licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names,
trade name rights or copyrights of others known to the Company or
the Subsidiaries in any way reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  No material infringement of any proprietary
right owned by or licensed by or to the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is known to the Company or any Subsidiary which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.21.  Related Party Transactions.  Except as

               (ii) the Company may make and commit to ordinary
          course budgeted operational capital and other

          (II)  Parent covenants and agrees that, between the

unless the Company shall otherwise consent in writing and except
as is otherwise permitted hereby, neither Parent nor any of the
Parent Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, do any of the
following:

          (a)  (i)  issue or sell, or propose the issuance or
     sale of, any shares of its or its subsidiaries' capital
     stock of any class, or any options, warrants, convertible
     securities or other rights of any kind to acquire any shares
     of its or its subsidiaries' capital stock, or any other
     ownership interest (except with respect to Parent Common
     Stock previously reserved for issuance as disclosed in
     Section 3.03 hereof) if (A) the proceeds of any such
     issuance or sale ("Proceeds") exceed $50,000,000, and (B)
     such Proceeds are not applied, if necessary, so as to allow
     Parent to exercise the election contemplated by Section
     2.06(b)(i); (ii) split, combine or reclassify any of its
     outstanding common stock, or declare, set aside or pay any
     dividend or distribution payable in cash, stock, property or
     otherwise with respect to the common stock; (iii) redeem,
     purchase or otherwise acquire or offer to redeem, purchase




     
                                       46


     or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock, except
     in the performance of its obligations under existing
     employee plans or pursuant to a repurchase program under
     Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (iv)
     authorize or propose or enter into any contract, agreement,
     commitment or arrangement with respect to any of the matters
     set forth in this Section 5.02(II)(a);

          (b)  in the case of Parent, merge or consolidate with

     other similar extraordinary business transaction;

          (c)  make any material change in accounting policies,

          SECTION 5.03.  No Shopping.  The Company and its
Subsidiaries will not, directly or indirectly, through any
officer, director, agent, financial adviser or otherwise,

from any person relating to any Competing Transaction (as defined
below), or participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish
to any other person any information (except for information which
has been previously publicly disseminated by the Company in the
ordinary course of business) with respect to, or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in,
facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other
person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties hereby agree that the Board of Directors
of the Company may (i) review and act upon (which actions may
include, without limitation, providing confidential information,
negotiating a transaction and entering into an agreement for a
transaction) an unsolicited proposal by any other person relating
to any of the transactions referred to in the preceding sentence,
if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after
consultation with and based upon the advice of its financial and
legal advisors, that failing to review and act upon such proposal
would constitute a breach of fiduciary duty and (ii) comply with
Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a
tender or exchange offer, and such review, conduct or compliance
will not violate this Section 5.03.  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Competing Transaction" shall mean any of the
following involving the Company or any Subsidiary:  (i) any
merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, or
other similar transaction; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange,
mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more of




     
                                       47


the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
in a single transaction or series of transactions; (iii) any
tender offer or exchange offer for 50% or more of the Shares or
the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act
in connection therewith; (iv) any person having acquired
beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership
of, or any "group" (as such term is defined under Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder) having been formed which beneficially owns or has the
right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 50% or more of the
Shares; or (v) any public announcement of a proposal, plan or
intention to do any of the foregoing or any agreement to engage
in any of the foregoing.

Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give
prompt notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence or non-occurrence

and (ii) any material failure of the Company, Parent or Merger
Sub, as the case may be, or any officer, director, employee or

Respective Representatives with all financial, operating and
other data and information and all information relating to the

subsidiary, or agents thereof) as the other party, through its
officers, employees, agents or accountants, may reasonably
request.

          (b)  All information obtained by Parent or the Company

          SECTION 6.06.  Public Announcements.  Parent and the

          SECTION 6.07.  Best Efforts; Cooperation.  Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties
hereto agrees to use its best efforts to take or cause to be
taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all things

shall cooperate in responding to inquiries from, and making

          SECTION 6.08.  Agreement to Defend and Indemnify.  (a)
If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation relating hereto
or to the transactions contemplated hereby is commenced, whether
before or after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree to
cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and
respond thereto.  It is understood and agreed that, subject to
the limitations, if any, on indemnification contained in
applicable law, the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law and regardless of whether the
Merger becomes effective, indemnify and hold harmless, and after
the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall,
to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify
and hold harmless, each director, officer, employee, fiduciary
and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary and their respective
subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, including, without
limitation, officers and directors serving as such on the date
hereof (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and
against any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to



     
                                       50


any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without
limitation liabilities arising under the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act in connection with the Merger.  Parent shall cause
the Surviving Corporation to continue in effect the
indemnification provisions currently provided (or provisions that
are no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than those
currently provided) by the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or
any written indemnification agreement of the Company for a period
of not less than six years following the Effective Time.  This
Section shall survive the consummation of the Merger.  This
covenant shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.01 hereof.  Notwithstanding Section 9.07 hereof,
this Section is intended to be for the benefit of and to grant
third party rights to Indemnified Parties whether or not parties
to this Agreement, and each of the Indemnified Parties shall be
entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

          (b)  Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect for
not less than three years after the Effective Time the current
policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance
maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to
matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however,
that Parent may substitute therefor its current policies or other
policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and
conditions which are no less advantageous to the Indemnified
Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be
required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.08(b) more than an
amount equal to 125% of current annual premiums paid by the
Company for such insurance.

          (c)  If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of
either of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or
merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger
or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to any person, then and in each such case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of
Parent or Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth
in this Section 6.08.

          SECTION 6.09.  Disposition of Litigation.  (a)  The
parties agree to file jointly a stipulation of dismissal without
prejudice, or take other reasonable steps necessary to terminate
without prejudice, the action entitled Magma Power Company, et
al. v. California Energy Company, Inc., et al., Case No. CV-N-94-
00719-DWH pending in the United States District Court for the
District of Nevada, including any and all claims and
counterclaims asserted against the Company, its directors, its
officers, Parent and Merger Sub, with each party bearing its own
costs and attorneys' fees.  The Company agrees that it will not




     
                                       51


settle any litigation currently pending, or commenced after the
date hereof, against the Company or any of its directors by any
stockholder of the Company relating to the Offer or this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent.

          (b)  The Company will not voluntarily cooperate with
any third party that has sought or may hereafter seek to restrain
or prohibit or otherwise oppose the Offer or the Merger and will
cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to resist any such effort to
restrain or prohibit or otherwise oppose the Offer or the Merger,
unless failing to so cooperate with such third party or
cooperating with Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, would
constitute a breach of fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors
of the Company or otherwise violate any applicable law or rules.

          SECTION 6.10.  Employee Benefits.  (a)  Parent shall
cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to (x) honor
all employment, change in control, deferred compensation,
pension, retirement and severance agreements in effect on the
date hereof between the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and
any employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or
maintained for the benefit of any employee of the Company or one
of its Subsidiaries, all of which have been made available to
Parent, and (y) honor all bonus determinations for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1994 made by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to the bonus
plans and arrangements of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

          (b)       For a period of one year commencing on the
Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to
provide active employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with
benefits (including, without limitation, welfare benefits) that
are no less favorable, taken as a whole, than the benefits
provided under the Company Benefit Plans (other than equity-based
plans and bonus plans) as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time.  To the extent that service is relevant for
eligibility, vesting or benefit calculations or allowances
(including, without limitation, entitlements to vacation and sick
days) under any plan or arrangement maintained in order to
provide the benefits described in the preceding sentence, such
plan or arrangement shall credit employees for service on or
prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

          (c)  Parent shall as promptly as practicable after the
Effective Time cause the Surviving Corporation to (or the Company
may prior to the Effective Time) amend each demand note made in
favor of the Company by an employee of the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries (each of which has been made available to Parent) to
provide that (x) such demand note will not be repayable on demand




     
                                       52


from the Company and (y) upon the involuntary termination without
cause of the employment of such employee, all sums owed under
such demand note shall be payable in equal quarterly installments
over a period of not less than 36 months.

          (d)  With respect to each employee of the Company
(other than employees of the Company which are parties to a
"change in control" or "severance" agreements referred to in the
Previous 14D-9) who is, within the one year period following the
closing of the Offering, either (i) terminated without cause or
(ii) terminated as a result of a reduction in force, Parent shall
cause the Surviving Corporation to make the following payments:

               (1)  if, upon the effective date of such
          employee's termination, such employee has less than one
          year's service with the Company, a payment equal to
          three months base salary plus an amount equal to one-
          fourth of the prior years targeted bonus for such
          employee, payable in twelve equal installments over the
          twelve months following such termination; or

               (2)  if, upon the effective date of such
          employee's termination, such employee has one year or
          more of service with the company, a payment equal to
          six months base salary plus an amount equal to one-
          fourth of the prior years targeted bonus for each such
          employee, payable in twelve equal installments over the
          twelve months following such termination.

          For the purposes of subclauses (1) and (2), if an
employee was not eligible for a bonus in the referenced prior
year, then the targeted bonus for the current year shall be used.
An employee shall not be eligible for the payments specified in
subclauses (1) or (2) if such employee's termination relates to a
reduction in force referred to subclause (ii) above and such
employee has been offered a comparable position (in terms of
compensation) by Parent at any location; provided however, that
no such amounts referenced in (1) and (2) will be payable if, in
the good faith determination of the Company, the employee's job
performance did not merit continued employment or offer of
relocation to a comparable position.  An employee may not receive
the severance payments contemplated by this Section 6.10(d) and
also receive any severance payments under the Company's severance
policy covered by Sections 6.10(a) and (b) and identified on a
schedule hereto.

          SECTION 6.11.  Certain Action of Parent and Merger Sub.
Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent and
Merger Sub shall suspend their solicitation of requests for the
call of a special meeting of the Company's stockholders and their




     
                                       53


solicitation of proxies to elect nominees to the Company's Board
of Directors.

     have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that any
     inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, on the date

     non-satisfaction of this Section 7.02(a) unless any such

     the aggregate, constitute facts or circumstances having a
     Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that such facts
     or circumstances shall be deemed to be so constituted if the

     such representations and warranties to be so true and
     correct, individually and in the aggregate, does to have a
     Material Adverse Effect; provided, however that any
     inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, on the date
     hereof or at the Effective Time, shall not result in the




     
                                       55


     non-satisfaction of this Section 7.03(a) unless any such
     inaccuracy or inaccuracies, either (i) individually or in
     the aggregate, constitute facts or circumstances having a

     contains a Material Adverse Effect standard) or (ii) are

indirectly, result in any of the consequences referred to in

December 9, 1994



The Board of Directors
Magma Power Company
4365 Executive Drive
Suite 900
San Diego, CA  92121

Gentlemen:

You have requested that we confirm our oral opinion as to the
fairness to the holders (other than California Energy Company,
Inc. ("California Energy") and its affiliates) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Shares"),
of Magma Power Company (the "Company") of the Cash Consideration
and the Merger Consideration (as defined below) proposed to be
paid by CE Acquisition Company, Inc. ("Purchasor"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of California Energy, and California Energy in
the Offer and the Merger (as defined below) pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 5, 1994 among
California Energy, Purchaser and the Company (the "Merger
Agreement").

The Merger Agreement provides for a tender offer for 12,400,000
Shares (the "Offer") pursuant to which Purchaser will pay $39.00
per Share in cash for each Share accepted (the "Cash
Consideration").  The Merger Agreement further provides that
following completion of the Offer, Purchaser will be merged with
and into the Company (the "Merger") and each outstanding Share
(other than Shares already owned by California Energy or
Purchaser) will be converted into the right to receive, at the
option of California Energy:

     (I)  an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (A) $38.75
     multiplied by the number of Shares outstanding at the
     effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), less
     $39.00 multiplied by the number of Shares owned by
     California Energy and its affiliates immediately prior to
     the Effective Time, divided by (B) the number of Shares
     outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Shares owned
     by California Energy and its affiliates) (the "All Cash
     Component Amount"); or



     

Magma Power Company

     (II) both (A) an amount in cash equal to the quotient of
     $28.50 multiplied by the number of Shares outstanding at the
     Effective Time, less $39.00 multiplied by the number of
     Shares owned by California Energy and its affiliates
     immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the
     number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time (other
     than Shares owned by California Energy and its affiliates)
     (such amount, the "Mixed Cash Component Amount"), and (B)
     the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0675 per
     share (the "California Energy Common Stock") of California
     Energy equal to the quotient of (I) $39.00 less (II) the
     Mixed Cash Component Amount, divided by the average closing
     price (the "Average Closing Price") of California Energy
     Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 15
     consecutive trading days ending the fifth business day prior
     to the Effective Time, provided, however, that if such
     average closing price exceeds $18.73, the Average Closing
     Price will be $18.73, and if such average closing price is
     less than $14.27, the Average Closing Price will be $14.27.

The consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in the
Merger, under either the All Cash Component Amount or (II)(A) and
(II(B), collectively, as applicable, is referred to herein as the
"Merger Consideration".  The Cash Consideration and the Merger
Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the
"Consideration".

Goldman, Sachs & Co., as part of its investment banking business,
is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions,
negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary
distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private
placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other
purposes.  We are familiar with the Company having acted as its
financial advisor in connection with, and having participated in
certain of the negotiations leading to the Merger Agreement.  In
the course of the trading activities of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
prior to our retention in connection with the matter, the Firm
accumulated a long position of 60,100 Shares.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other
things, the Merger Agreement; Annual Reports to Stockholders and
Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company and California Energy
for the five years ended December 31, 1993; certain interim


                                       2

reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the
Company and California Energy; certain other communications from
the Company and California Energy to their respective
stockholders; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts
for the Company prepared by the management of the Company; and
certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company
and California Energy prepared by the management of California
Energy.  We also have held discussions with members of the senior
managements of each of the Company and California Energy
regarding the past and current business operations, financial
condition and future condition and future prospects of their
respective companies and as combined in the contemplated Merger.
We have reviewed the reported price and trading activity for both
the Shares and the California Energy Common Stock, compared
certain financial and stock market information for the Company
and California Energy, respectively, with similar information for
certain other companies the securities of which are publicly
traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the independent power production industry
specifically and in other industries generally and considered
such other information, held such other discussions and performed
such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

We have relied without independent verification upon the accuracy
and completeness of all of the financial information and other
information reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion.  In
addition, we have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal
of the assets and liabilities of either the Company or California
Energy or any of their subsidiaries and we have not been
furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as
we considered relevant, we confirm our oral opinion that, as of
December 5, 1994, the Cash Consideration and the Merger
Consideration to be received by the holders of Shares in the
Offer and the Merger, taken as a unitary transaction, are fair to
the holders of Shares receiving such Consideration (other than
California Energy and its affiliates).

Very truly yours,

Board of Directors
California Energy Company, Inc.
10831 Old Mill Road
Omaha, NE 68154

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

California Energy Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company" or "CECI"), CE Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CECI ("Merger Sub"),
and Magma Power Company, a Nevada corporation ("Magma"), propose
to enter into an agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which
Merger Sub will make a tender offer (the "Offer") for at least a
majority of Magma's outstanding common stock, $0.10 par value per
share (the "Shares"), for $39.00 per share, net to the seller in
cash (the "Offer Consideration").  The Agreement also provides
that, following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will be
merged with and into Magma in a transaction (the "Merger") in
which each remaining Share will be converted into the right to
receive, at the Company's option, either (i) $39.00 per share in
a combination of cash and a number of shares of CECI's common
stock to be determined in accordance with the Agreement, or (ii)
$38.50 per Share in cash (the "Merger Consideration" and together
with the Offer Consideration, the "Consideration").

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Consideration to
be paid by the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is
fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have, among other
things:

(i)       reviewed the audited and unaudited financial statements
          and public Securities Exchange Commission filings for
          the three most recent fiscal years and interim periods
          to date of Magma and the Company ("SEC Reports");

(ii)      on an operating and trading basis, compared financial
          information relating to Magma's businesses with
          published financial information concerning certain
          companies whose businesses we deemed to be reasonably
          similiar, in whole or in part, to those of Magma;

(iii)     analyzed the market prices and trading characteristics
          of the Shares and the Company's common stock for recent
          periods to date;

(iv)      conducted discussions with members of senior management
          of the Company concerning its businesses and prospects;

(v)       reviewed certain financial forecasts for Magma and the
          Company, and projections of expected cost savings in a
          business combination (together, the "Projections"), in
          each case as prepared by the Company;

(vi)      based on the Projections, performed a discounted cash
          flow analysis of Magma including the expected cost
          savings arising from a business combination;

(vii)     based on the Projections, analyzed the pro forma
          financial effects to the Company of the proposed
          business combination;

(viii)    assumed without independent investigation that no
          material contingent liability exists with respect to
          Magma or the Company which is not disclosed in the SEC
          Reports;

(ix)      reviewed the definitive merger agreement and related
          transaction documentation; and

(x)       reviewed such other financial studies and performed
          such other analyses and took into account such other
          matters as we deemed appropriate.

It should be noted that our opinion necessarily is based upon
prevailing market conditions and other circumstances and
conditions existing at the present time.  In preparing our
opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all
information supplied or otherwise made available to us by the
Company, and we have not independently verified such information
or made or obtained an independent evaluation or appraisal of the
assets of the Company or Magma.  With respect to the Projections,
we have assumed without independent investigation that the
Projections have been reasonably prepared by the Company, and
have been generated on bases reflecting the best currently
available estimates and judgment of the Company's management as

to the expected future financial performance of the Company or
Magma, as the case may be.

We are acting as financial advisor to the Company in connection
with the Offer and the Merger and will receive a fee for our
services.

Based on our analysis of the foregoing, and on our assessment of
the general economic environment, and assuming no material change
therein, we are of the opinion that the Consideration to be paid
by the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to
the Company from a financial point of view.

Very truly yours,

GLEACHER & CO. INC.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL") grants each corporation organized thereunder, such as CECI, the
power to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities for certain of
their acts. Article EIGHTH of CECI's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Article V of CECI's By-Laws provide for indemnification of directors and
officers of CECI to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Article V of
CECI's By-Laws further provides that CECI may enter into contracts providing
indemnification to the full extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL and that
CECI may create a trust fund, grant a security interest and/or use other means
to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect
indemnification pursuant to such contracts or otherwise.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of
incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as CECI,
eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a
director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for certain
breaches of fiduciary duty as a director. Article EIGHTH of CECI's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to
the full extent permitted by the DGCL.

         The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of
Sections 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article EIGHTH of CECI's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Article V of CECI's By-Laws.

ITEM 22.  UNDERTAKINGS.

                  (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file
during any period in which offers or sales are being made a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:

     (a)  To  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section  10(a)(3)  of  the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (b) To reflect in the Information  Statement/Prospectus any facts or events
arising  after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
recent  post-effective   amendment  thereof)  which,   individually  or  in  the
aggregate,  represent a fundamental  change in the  information set forth in the
registration statement;

     (c) To  include  any  material  information  with  respect  to the  plan of
distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in the  registration  statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.

                  (2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and in the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offer
thereof.

                  (3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

                  (4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder
through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by
any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain
the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

                  (6) The undersigned registrant undertakes that every
prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or
(ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject
to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, will be filed as part of an amendment to the
registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective,
and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

<PAGE>






                  (7) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this registration statement, within one
business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents
by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

                  (8) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by
means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction,
and the company being acquired therein, that was not the subject of and included
in the registration statement when it became effective.

                  (9) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                                       II-9

*        The ending market price on September 30, 1994 and 1993 was lower than
         the average market price for the nine-month period ended September 30,
         1994 and 1993. Accordingly, inclusion of an adjustment for stock
         options would be antidilutive and, therefore, contrary to paragraph 40
         of APB Option 15. The repurchase of Company common stock has reduced
         the number of shares outstanding and has necessitated the inclusion of
         the Debentures in the fully diluted earnings per share calculation for
         the quarter ended September 30, 1994 and for the nine month period
         ended September 30, 1994.

**       The net income available for common shares for the quarter ended
         September 30, 1994 and nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
         increased by the interest expense associated with the convertible debt
         of $887 and $2,620, respectively.
