Attachment A
CATALYST VIDALIA CORPORATION
Statement by Claimant
1. Catalyst Vidalia Corporation (the"Claimant") is a Louisiana
corporation. The Claimant's location is 245 Park Avenue,
New York, New York 10167. The nature of its business is the
ownership of a 50% interest in, and 100% of the voting
securities of, Catalyst Old River Hydroelectric Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Louisiana limited
partnership in commendam. The Partnership is located at Old
River Control Complex, North Highway 15, Lettsworth,
Louisiana 70753, and the nature of its business is ownership
of a lessee interest in, and the operation of, 192 megawatt
hydroelectric facility. Further information regarding the
business of the Partnership is contained in Note 2 below.
2. The Claimant is the sole general partner of the Partnership.
The Claimant owns a 50% interest in the Partnership and, as
sole general partner, 100% of the voting securities of the
Partnership.
The Partnership's assets consist of a leasehold interest in
a 192 MW run-of-river hydroelectric facility located in
Concordia Parish (near Vidalia), Louisiana, approximately
one mile north of the Army Corps of Engineers Old River
Control Complex between the Mississippi River and the
Red/Atchafalaya Rivers. The Project consists of an intake
channel 4,500 feet in length, a power plant containing eight
bulb turbines with a total installed capacity of 192 MW, and
a power discharge channel 10,000 feet in length discharging
into the Old River Outflow Channel. The Project discharges
the flows that otherwise would be passed through the Low
Sill Structure of the Old River Control Structure. A single
40-mile, 115-KV transmission line connects the Project with
Louisiana Power and Light's existing substation, just west
of Vidalia.
In August 1990, the Partnership sold and leased back its
interest in the Project to and from a group of financial
institutions. The original term of the lease is 30 years,
subject to certain renewal options. Under the lease and
related agreements, the Partnership was granted certain
options to purchase the Project from the lessors. These
agreements also impose certain restrictions on the operation
of the Project by the Partnership, and generally require
that revenues form Project operations be used to pay
operating and maintenance expenses, rent, royalty and
related obligations before they may be distributed to the
partners of the Partnership.
