ENVIRONMENTAL POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Environmental Power Corporation ("EPC") and its subsidiaries (the "Company")
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full fiscal year. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 

NOTE B--PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  This standard
requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits, measured by
enacted tax rates, attributable to deductible temporary differences between
financial bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss carryforwards
to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss
carryforwards for which the Company expects income tax benefits will be realized
in future years.
 
NOTE C--LOSS PER SHARE

The Company computes its earnings per common share using the modified treasury
stock method ("modified method") in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15.  The modified method is used when the number of shares
obtainable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and their equivalents
exceeds 20% of the Company's outstanding common stock.  Under this method, all
options, warrants and their equivalents are assumed exercised (whether dilutive
or antidilutive) with aggregate proceeds used to purchase up to 20% of the
Company's outstanding common stock and the remainder invested in U.S. government
securities.  If the combined effect of the assumed exercise is dilutive, all
options, warrants and their equivalents are included in the computation.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
- - - ----------------------------------------------------------

Financial Condition
- - - -------------------

     On March 31, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $991,243 as
compared to $356,527 at December 31, 1994. The increase is primarily due to the
receipt in 1995 of a portion of the proceeds from the 1994 sale of the Company's
remaining interest in the Sunnyside project.
 
     On March 31, 1995, the Company had a deficit in working capital of
$2,159,271 compared to working capital of $1,456,339 at December 31, 1994.  The
decrease is primarily the result of an increase in current liabilities arising
from first quarter operating losses of approximately $3.4 million related to the
Scrubgrass project. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary, Buzzard Power
Corporation, are obligated to utilize current assets to fund such liabilities
for which payment is expected to be made from future operations. The Company has
included for accounting purposes, both at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
certain obligations included in current liabilities aggregating approximately
$.5 million which either are in dispute or are expected to be paid from funds
provided from noncurrent assets rather than from current assets.
 
     Receivable from utility relates to the Scrubgrass project and was
$1,108,311 at March 31, 1995 as compared to $5,370,098 at December 31, 1994. The
receivable at December 31, 1994 represents electric generation for the months of
November and December. The receivable at March 31, 1995 represents electric
generation for the month of March and was lower than expected due to
unscheduled outage.

     Receivable from sale of affiliate relates to the Sunnyside project as
mentioned above and was $1,453,724 and $4,165,900 at March 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994, respectively. On January 5, 1995 the Company received approximately
$2.8 million in cash representing a portion of its proceeds from the sale.

     Other current assets were $1,397,311 at March 31, 1995 as compared to
$2,093,051 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease is primarily due to the
collection of receivables for the reimbursement of overhead expenses related to
the Scrubgrass project.

     Deferred income tax asset at March 31, 1995 was $6,493,245 as compared to
$4,995,245 as of December 31, 1994.  The increase is due to the federal income
tax benefit recorded for 1995.
 

                                      -7-

     Accrued power generation revenue increased to $6,379,428 at March 31, 1995
as compared to $5,311,324 at December 31, 1994. This relates to the Scrubgrass
project and represents the receivable recorded as a result of the straight-line
accounting treatment of certain revenues under the power purchase agreement.

     Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased to $5,971,198 at March 31,
1995 from $6,969,386 at December 31, 1994. The decrease is due to the payment of
such liabilities during the quarter.

     Other current liabilities decreased to $1,138,662 at March 31, 1995 from
$3,559,851 at December 31, 1994. The decrease is primarily due to the settlement
payment in full of approximately $1.5 million to the DBL Liquidating Trust
together with a $900,000 repayment of the Scrubgrass working capital loan.

     Accrued lease expense was $6,379,428 at March 31, 1995 as compared to
$5,311,324 at December 31, 1994. This relates to the Scrubgrass project and
represents accrued lease expense recorded as a result of the straight-line
accounting treatment of the lease expense over the 22 year lease term.

Results of Operations
- - - ---------------------

Revenues & Expenses

     Power generation revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were
$7,943,959 and represent power generation at the Scrubgrass project, which the
Company began leasing on June 30, 1994. Power generation revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994 were $4,411,469 and represent power generation at
the Sunnyside project in which the Company sold its remaining interest on
December 31, 1994.

     Lease expense relates to the Scrubgrass project and was $5,375,173 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the absence of such expenses for the
first quarter of 1994.

     Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 relate to the
Scrubgrass project and were $5,620,642. Operating expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 relate to the Sunnyside project and were $1,892,264.

     General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
were $811,313 as compared to $285,994 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The
increase is primarily due to third-party management expenses related to the
Scrubgrass project.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 were $41,680 as compared to $970,992 for the quarter ended March
31, 1994.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale in 1994 of the Sunnyside
project as mentioned above.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $108,698 and is
primarily related to notes receivable in connection with the 1994 sale of the
Sunnyside project.  Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was
$285,994 and is primarily due to investment earnings on assets held by trustee
and reserves related to the Sunnyside project.

     Interest expense declined to $27,497 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
from $2,853,994 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 primarily as a result of
the 1994 sale of the Sunnyside project as mentioned above.

     Minority interest relates to the Sunnyside project and for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994 was $213,951 as compared to the absence of such expense
during the first quarter of 1995.

     Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $77,103 and
represents the current period amortization of the deferred gain of $6,785,035
arising from the original sale of the Scrubgrass project in 1990. The deferred
gain is being amortized over the 22 year minimum lease term, which commenced on
June 30, 1994.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - - -------------------------------

       The Company's principal sources of cash to continue its general corporate
activities in 1995 will be from current cash balances, additional proceeds
received pursuant to the 1994 sale of the Sunnyside project, interest income on
short-term investments and from cash flows which may become available from the
Scrubgrass project. Various contractual obligations or potential obligations may
require that any cash flows from the Scrubgrass project be used to increase
certain reserve accounts and/or be used to fund contractual obligations of the
project, and, therefore, may not be available to the Company. During the first
quarter of 1995, management has undertaken a cost reduction program to
significantly reduce general corporate overhead.
