Notes to Financial Statements
1. Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and with Form 10-QSB requirements. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-
KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
2. Related Party Transactions
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner
is allowed reimbursements of expenses incurred to manage the
Partnership. For the three month periods ended March 31, 1995
and 1996, the Partnership accrued, but did not pay, fees and
reimbursements to the general partner of $66,000 and $27,000
respectively.
3. Long-term Debt
In January 1990, the Partnership received the proceeds of an
$8,000,000 non-recourse refinancing of its Steamboat Springs
Project ("Project" or "Steamboat Springs Plant") with Westing
house Credit Corporation ("WCC"). The WCC loan, which is secured
by the Project assets including the resource lease, plant and
equipment and related contract rights, bears interest at 11.5%
per annum and must be repaid over ten years in 40 quarterly
payments of principal and interest. This loan is currently in
default, primarily because the loan reserves have not been
maintained at required levels.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Opera
tions and Financial Condition.
Overall electric power sales increased about 26% this past
quarter as compared to the first quarter of 1995. This increase
was due to a combination of factors; (1) fewer generator
failures; (2) improvement in condensor fans; (3) the computer
operating programs and (4) increased geothermal brine flows to
the plant originating from a test well located on a lease
adjacent to the lease on which the plant is located. Whether the
plant will continue to receive those flows in the future is
unknown at this time. Maintenance and repair costs this past
quarter were about 5% lower than those of the first quarter of
1995 due to prior plant upgrades.
The Steamboat Springs Plant is in compliance with environ
mental and regulatory agencies.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There have been no material changes in the status of legal
proceedings since the Partnership's report on Form 10-KSB dated
December 31, 1995.
Item 5. Other Information
In a report dated September 4, 1993 the General Partner reported
to the Limited Partners on its efforts to restructure the business of
the Partnership so as to be able to resume distributions to the
Limited Partners. In summary the General Partner concluded that the
Partnership would be unable to generate significant positive cash flow
or resume distributions without the infusion of cash sufficient to
make capital improvements in the Steamboat Springs Plant and/or buy
out the Westinghouse loan and certain royalty interests at a discount.
The Partnership does not have the financial resources to accomplish
these goals. At present and in the foreseeable future the Partnership
is generating taxable income without any cash distributions to pay the
tax liabilities. Therefore, it appears to the General Partner that it
may be advantageous to the Partnership to consider a sale of all the
Partnership assets.
The General Partner has recently executed a contract on behalf of
the Partnership with U.S. Envirosystems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation)
to sell the Steamboat Springs Power Plant. The sale is conditioned on
the approval of the Limited Partners. That Contract was attached to a
draft proxy statement describing the details of the transaction, its
tax effect and an opinion as to the fairness of the proposed transac
tion, which has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission for its review. See Exhibit 10(aau). It is anticipated
that these materials will be mailed to the Limited Partners for their
review and vote within thirty days. If the proposed sale of the
Steamboat Springs Plant is approved the General Partner proposes to
distribute all proceeds of the sale to limited partners (after payment
of debts and accounts to third parties) and terminate the Partnership.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
The Partnership did not file a report on Form 8-K during the
three months ended March 31, 1996.
