                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997


(A) The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by 
    Oglethorpe Power Corporation (Oglethorpe), without audit, pursuant to the 
    rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  
    In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects

    estimates necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the 
    results for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  Certain 
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and 
    regulations, although Oglethorpe believes that the disclosures are 
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is 
    suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in 
    conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included 
    in Oglethorpe's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC. 
    Certain amounts for 1997 have been reclassified to conform with the 
    current period presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

As reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997, Oglethorpe and its 39 retail electric distribution cooperative members
(the Members) completed a corporate restructuring (the Corporate Restructuring)
on March 11, 1997, in which Oglethorpe was divided into three specialized
operating companies.  Oglethorpe now operates the power supply business, Georgia
Transmission Corporation (GTC) operates the transmission business and Georgia
System Operations Corporation (GSOC) operates the system operations business.

The Condensed Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 reflects Oglethorpe's operations solely as a power supply
company, whereas the Condensed Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 reflects Oglethorpe's operations as a combined power
supply, transmission and system operations company.  Although the Corporate
Restructuring was completed on March 11, 1997, pursuant to the restructuring
agreement among Oglethorpe, GTC and GSOC, all transmission-related and systems
operations-related revenues were assigned to Oglethorpe, and all
transmission-related and systems operations-related costs were paid or
reimbursed by Oglethorpe during the period March 11, 1997 through March 31,
1997.  Decreases in operating revenues, depreciation and amortization, other
operating expenses, operating margin, net interest charges and net margin from
1997 to 1998 are primarily attributable to the Corporate Restructuring.

See Oglethorpe's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997 for a pro forma presentation of the Statement of Revenues and Expenses
for the year ended December 31, 1997, reflecting the exclusion of the
transmission and system operations businesses, as though the Corporate
Restructuring had occurred at the beginning of 1997 (Note 11 of Notes to
Financial Statements).

OPERATING REVENUES 

Revenues from sales to Members for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
9.8% lower compared to the same period of 1997.  Revenues from Members were
lower primarily due to the removal of capacity revenues relating to the
transmission business.  Although Megawatt-hour (MWh) sales to Members increased
7.5%, energy revenues from Members increased only 5.3%.  Consequently,
Oglethorpe's average energy revenue per MWh from sales to Members for the
three-month period was 2.1% lower in 1998 compared to 1997.  This decrease
resulted from lower average fuel cost and lower average purchased power cost
discussed below under "Operating Expenses".

Sales to non-Members were primarily from energy sales to other utilities and
power marketers, and pursuant to contractual arrangements with Georgia Power
Company (GPC).  The following table 



                                          8

summarizes the amounts of non-Member revenues from these sources for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

Sales to other utilities represent sales made directly by Oglethorpe. 
Oglethorpe sells for its own account any energy in excess of the portion of its
resources dedicated to Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (Morgan Stanley) that
is not scheduled by Morgan Stanley pursuant to its power marketer arrangement. 

Under the LG&E Energy Marketing Inc. (LEM) and Morgan Stanley power marketer
arrangements, sales to the power marketers represented the net energy
transmitted on behalf of LEM and Morgan Stanley off-system on a daily basis from
Oglethorpe's total resources.  Such energy was sold to LEM and Morgan Stanley at
Oglethorpe's cost, with certain limited adjustments set forth in the
arrangements.  The volume of sales to power marketers depends primarily on the
power marketers' decisions for servicing their load requirements.

The revenues from power supply arrangements with GPC were derived in 1997 from
energy sales arising from dispatch situations whereby GPC caused Plant Wansley
to be operated when Oglethorpe's system did not require all of its contractual
entitlement to the generation.  These revenues compensated Oglethorpe for its
costs because, under the operating agreement (before it was amended), Oglethorpe
was responsible for its share of fuel costs any time a unit operated.  With the
commencement of the separate dispatch of Plant Wansley as of May 1, 1997, this
type of sale to GPC ended.

Another source of non-Member revenues was payments received from GPC for use of
the Integrated Transmission System (ITS) and related transmission interfaces. 
GPC compensated Oglethorpe to the extent that Oglethorpe's percentage of
investment in the ITS exceeded its percentage use of the system.  In such case,
Oglethorpe was entitled to income as compensation for the use of its investment
by the other ITS participants.  As a result of the Corporate Restructuring, all
of the revenues in this category have been GTC's revenues since April 1, 1997.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were 10.9% lower in the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the same period of 1997.  Operating expenses were lower due to the
elimination of depreciation and amortization and other operating expenses
relating to the transmission business assumed by GTC in connection with the
Corporate Restructuring.  However, the decreases in fuel expense and in
purchased power expense did not result from the Corporate Restructuring.  Fuel
costs decreased 11.2% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the same
period of the prior year, while total MWhs of generation decreased only 2.8%. 
Such savings in average fuel cost resulted from the difference in the mix of
generation, with a higher percentage of the generation from nuclear and less
from fossil than the comparable period for 1997.  The shift in the mix of
generation resulted primarily from a decrease in fossil generation in 1998
resulting from maintenance outages at Plant Scherer Unit No. 2 and at Plant
Wansley Unit No. 2. 

Purchased power cost for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 5.9% lower
compared to the same period of 1997.  A total of 8.6% more MWhs were purchased
in 1998 compared to 1997. Consequently, the average cost of purchased power per
MWh has decreased by 13.4%.  The savings were primarily as a result of the
elimination, effective September 1, 1997, of another 250-megawatt component
block under the Block Power Sale Agreement between Oglethorpe and GPC.

Other operating expenses for 1997 reflect expenses for the power delivery
portion of the business which was subsequently transferred to GTC in connection
with the Corporate Restructuring.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased compared to the
same period of 1997.  For 1997, the caption "Other" reflected a margin of
approximately $720,000 related to Oglethorpe's marketing support services which
was subsequently transferred to EnerVision.  In 1998, EnerVision's margin was
approximately $100,000.  See Oglethorpe's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 for further discussion of EnerVision.

INTEREST CHARGES

Net interest charges for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased
compared to the same period of 1997 primarily due to the debt assumed by GTC in
connection with the Corporate Restructuring.

NET MARGIN AND COMPREHENSIVE MARGIN

Oglethorpe's net margin for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $7.6
million compared to $9.4 million for the same period of 1997.  Since
Oglethorpe's margin requirement is based on a ratio applied to interest charges,
the reduction in interest charges resulting from the Corporate Restructuring
also reduced Oglethorpe's margin requirement.

Comprehensive margin is now reported on the Condensed Statement of Revenues and
Expenses, consistent with Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
issued by the Financial 



                                          10


<PAGE>


Accounting Standards Board.  This Statement requires the reporting of all
components of changes in equity on the Statement of Revenues and Expenses.  For
Oglethorpe, the only additional item being reported is the net change in
unrealized gains (losses) on investments in available-for-sale securities.  


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets and total equity plus liabilities as of March 31, 1998 were $4.5
billion which was $30 million less than the total at December 31, 1997 due
primarily to depreciation of plant.  

ASSETS

Property additions for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $8.1
million primarily for purchases of nuclear fuel and for additions, replacements
and improvements to existing generation facilities.

The increase in the decommissioning investment fund and the decommissioning
reserve resulted from earnings of the fund.  An amount equal to the earnings of
the fund was accrued as an increase to the decommissioning reserve.

The decrease in receivables resulted from the normal seasonable variations in
the receivable balance from the Members at year-end 1997 compared to the balance
at March 31, 1998. 

Inventories increased primarily as a result of the coal inventories for Plants
Scherer and Wansley returning to more normal levels at March 31, 1998 from lower
1997 year-end levels caused by problems associated with rail transportation.

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES

Accounts payable decreased due to normal variations in the timing of payables
activity.

Accrued and withheld taxes increased as a result of the normal monthly accruals
of property taxes, which are generally paid in the fourth quarter of the year.

The decrease in other current liabilities primarily resulted from $3.0 million
lower negative cash at March 31, 1998 than compared to negative cash at 1997
year-end.

</TABLE>


         Except as noted above, the only additional difference between Second
Amendment to Supporting Assets Lease No. 2 and the other three Second Amendments
to Supporting Assets Leases is that Second Amendment to Supporting Assets Lease
No. 2 has two additional paragraphs as set forth below:

         d. Schedule 5 to the Supporting Assets Lease, due to a scrivener's
error, contains an incorrect percentage interest (which is referred to in the
definition of Leasehold Estate) and the parties hereto wish to correct such
scrivener's error.

                  (2) The Percentage Interest shown on Schedule 5 to the
Supporting Assets Lease, under Item (2) is hereby amended, as of December 30,
1985, by deleting "(20.2531645/.06)%" and replacing it with the following:
"(20.2531645/0.6)%".

definition of Leasehold Estate) and the parties hereto wish to correct such
scrivener's error.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100
Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sublessee and Sublessor hereby
amend the Supporting Assets Sublease as follows:



<PAGE>




                  (1) The definition of "Leasehold Estate" from and after the
date of this Second Amendment is hereby amended by deleting the following
portion thereof: "(iii) OPC's undivided twenty-seven and two hundred twenty-five
thousandths percent (27.225%) interest in the Global Common Facilities," and
replacing it with the following: "(iii) OPC's undivided fifteen percent (15%)
interest in the Global Common Facilities." In connection therewith, Sublessee
hereby releases, discharges, remises and quitclaims unto Sublessor any interest
in the undivided twelve and two hundred twenty-five thousandths percent
(12.225%) interest in the Global Common Facilities formerly held by Sublessee
under the Supporting Assets Sublease and released hereunder.

                  (2) The Percentage Interest shown on Schedule 5 to the
Supporting Assets Sublease is hereby amended, as of December 30, 1985, by
deleting "(20.2531645/.06)%" and replacing it with the following:
"(20.2531645/0.6)%."

                  (3) Except as expressly amended hereby, the Supporting Assets
Sublease and all terms and conditions thereof shall continue in full force and
effect, unmodified and unchanged. From and after the date hereof, the Supporting
Assets Sublease and all references thereto shall mean and include the Supporting
Assets Sublease as amended by this Second Amendment.

         This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by each of the parties hereto on separate counterparts, all such counterparts
together constituting but one and the same instrument.

         Except as noted above, the only additional difference between Second
Amendment to Supporting Assets Sublease No. 2 and the other three Second
Amendments to Supporting Assets Subleases is that Second Amendment to Supporting
Assets Sublease No. 2 has two additional paragraphs as set forth below:

         d. Schedule 5 to the Supporting Assets Sublease, due to a scrivener's
error, contains an incorrect percentage interest (which is referred to in the
definition of Leasehold Estate) and the parties hereto wish to correct such
scrivener's error.

                  (2) The Percentage Interest shown on Schedule 5 to the
Supporting Assets Sublease is hereby amended, as of December 30, 1985, by
deleting "(20.2531645/.06)%" and replacing it with the following:
"(20.2531645/0.6)%".
