ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ------------------------------------------------------

The King City  cogeneration  facility (the "Facility") is a 120 megawatt natural
gas-fired  combined cycle facility located in King City,  California.  On May 1,
1996 Calpine Corporation ("Calpine" or the "Company"),  through its wholly owned
subsidiary Calpine King City Cogen, LLC, completed the transaction to enter into
an  operating  lease for the  Facility  with BAF Energy,  A  California  Limited
Partnership  ("BAF" or the  "Lessor").  Under the terms of the operating  lease,
Calpine  will make  semi-annual  lease  payments  to BAF,  a portion of which is
supported  by a  $100.7  million  collateral  fund,  owned by the  Company.  The
collateral  fund consists of a portfolio of investment  grade and U.S.  Treasury
Securities  that will mature serially in amounts equal to a portion of the lease
payments.

The Company financed the collateral fund and other  transaction  costs through a
$45.0  million  loan  provided  by the Bank of Nova  Scotia,  $50.0  million  of
proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock to Electrowatt, the parent company
of Calpine,  and $13.3 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility
with Credit Suisse.

The Facility  generates  electricity for sale to Pacific Gas & Electric  Company
pursuant to a long term power sales agreement, which terminates in 2019. Natural
gas for the Facility is currently  supplied  pursuant to a contract with Chevron
USA Inc., which expires June 30, 1997.

Calpine  intends  to  continue  to operate  the  Facility  in the same  business
following the transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the General Partner of
BAF Energy, A California Limited Partnership:

    We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of BAF Energy, A California
Limited Partnership, as of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of income,  partners'  equity and cash flows for each of the three  years  ended
October  31,  1995,  1994  and  1993.   These   financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Partnership'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 that 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 financial  position of BAF Energy,  A California
Limited  Partnership,  as of October 31,  1995 and 1994,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years  ended  October  31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    As explained in Note 1 to the financial  statements,  effective  November 1,
1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for investments.

    As discussed in Note 8 to the  financial  statements,  subsequent to October
31, 1995, the Partnership  signed a letter agreement with a third party to lease
substantially  all of its  property,  plant and equipment and assign all related
contracts to a third party.

                                   BAF ENERGY,
                        A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  Organization

    Basic  American,   Inc.  (BAI)  formed  BAF  Energy,  A  California  Limited
Partnership  (BAF Energy or the  Partnership) on March 25, 1986, for the purpose
of developing,  constructing and operating a cogeneration  facility. The term of
the Partnership is through December 2020 unless terminated earlier in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement.  The facility produces and sells electricity and
steam.  On December 6, 1995, the  Partnership  signed a letter  agreement with a
third party to lease substantially all of the Partnership's property,  plant and
equipment  and to assign all  related  contracts.  The third  party  lessee will
operate the cogeneration facility through April, 2019 (see Note 8).

    BAF Energy,  Inc. (BEI) is the general partner of the Partnership and has an
ownership  interest  of 1 percent.  BEI is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Basic
Vegetable  Products,  Inc. (BVP). BVP is a wholly owned subsidiary of BAI. As of
October  31,  1995,  BAI also owned  approximately  51  percent  of the  Limited
Partnership units of BAF Energy then outstanding.

    Distributions  and profit and loss are  allocated  99 percent to the limited
partners, based on their proportionate share of limited partnership units, and 1
percent to the general partner.

  Reclassifications

    Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the 1994 and 1993  financial
statements to be consistent with the current year presentation.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on deposit with banks,  money market funds, and commercial  paper. Cash paid for
interest  during the years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $8,252,202,
$8,732,052 and $9,161,241, respectively.

  Available-for-Sale Securities

    Effective  November 1, 1994, the Partnership  adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 115,  "Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" (SFAS 115). The Partnership has classified its investments as
available-for-sale  securities and as restricted  available-for-sale  securities
and has recorded all  securities  holdings at fair value.  Unrealized  gains and
losses are reported as a separate component of partners' equity until realized.

    Premiums and discounts are amortized  over the life of the related  security
as an  adjustment  to  interest  income  using the  effective  interest  method.
Interest  income  is  recognized  when  earned.  Realized  gains  and  losses on
securities  transactions  are  included in net income and are derived  using the
specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

    Prior to the  November  1,  1994  adoption  of SFAS 115,  the  Partnership's
short-term investments were included in cash and short-term investments and were
valued at the lower of  aggregate  cost or  market.  Such  securities  have been
reclassified  as   available-for-sale   securities  to  conform  with  SFAS  115
presentation requirements.




                                      -15-

<PAGE>



    The effect of adopting  SFAS 115 was to  recognize  net  unrealized  holding
losses of $32,599 as a decrease in partners'  equity as of November 1, 1994.  At
October 31, 1995, net unrealized holding losses were $5,079.

    Restricted securities are required under the term loans described in Note 4.

  Property, Plant and Equipment

    Property,   plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less   accumulated
depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization of property, plant
and  equipment  are  computed on a  straight-line  method  principally  over the
following estimated useful lives:



                                        Years
                                        -----
          Buildings and improvements         30
          Machinery and equipment..     5 to 30

  Major Maintenance Accruals

    The  Partnership  accrues for the estimated  future costs of major overhauls
and equipment replacement based upon engineering studies.

  Income Taxes

    Federal and state  income tax  regulations  provide that no income taxes are
levied on a partnership.  Instead, each partners' share of partnership profit or
loss is  reported on his or her  separate  income tax  return.  Accordingly,  no
partnership  income  taxes  are  provided  for  in  the  accompanying  financial
statements.


(2) AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

    As of October 31, 1995,  the amortized cost and estimated fair values of the
Partnership's  investments in tax-exempt  municipal securities are summarized as

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The  Partnership  Agreement  requires that the Partnership pay BEI a monthly
administrative fee. This fee amounted to $146,596, $139,613 and $132,966 for the
years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    The  Partnership has entered into a ground lease with a remaining term of 23
years with BAI for the land on which the facility is located. The lease includes
options  to  extend  the  lease  term up to an  additional  30  years.  Rent was
$146,572,  $139,593 and $132,946 for the years ended October 31, 1995,  1994 and
1993,  respectively.  Rents will escalate at the rate of 5% each year. In fiscal
1996,  this lease will be assigned to a third party lessee  pursuant to a letter
agreement discussed at Note 8.

    The  Partnership  negotiated a steam sales contract with a remaining term of
23 years with Basic  Vegetable  Products,  LP (BVP,  LP). The General Partner of
BVP, LP is BVP. Under the contract,  the Partnership supplies steam to BVP, LP's
King  City,  California  food  processing  plant.  Revenues  recorded  under the
contract  totaled  $669,341,  $840,959 and  $1,068,141  in 1995,  1994 and 1993,
respectively. In fiscal 1996, this contract will also be assigned (see Note 8).


(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  Facilities

    The  Partnership  executed an Operations  and  Maintenance (O & M) Agreement
with Bechtel  North  American  Power  Corporation  (Bechtel) in which Bechtel is
required to operate and  maintain the facility for a term of five years from May
1989.  The  Partnership  reimburses  Bechtel  for  all  costs  incurred  in  the
performance of the service. O & M expenses paid totaled  $3,665,168,  $3,884,943
and $4,556,321 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, including a payment of base
fees of $275,000, $387,456 and $500,000 per year, respectively, and a payment of
earned fees of  $380,000,  $306,803 and  $902,430  per year,  respectively.  The
agreement also provided for a "high  performance" bonus fee dependent on meeting
certain  performance  standards.  In  April  1994,  the  O  &  M  Agreement  was
renegotiated and extended  through October 1998. The renegotiated  terms include
payment of base fees of $275,000 and elimination of the high  performance  bonus
fee. The bonus paid in 1994 and 1995 totaled $3,107 and $175,327,  respectively.
In  connection  with  the  anticipated  transaction  described  at Note  8,  the
Partnership will sever its O & M Agreement with Bechtel.  The severance  payment
will be made with funds directly contributed by the third party lessee.

  Financing

    Calcorp Group,  Inc. (CGI), a limited partner,  has a put option to sell its
23 percent  investment in the Partnership back to the Partnership at fair market
value in certain circumstances.  The put is subject to a subordination agreement
with  the  Partnership's  lenders.  CGI has  entered  into a  technical  support
agreement with the Partnership,  wherein CGI is reimbursed for services rendered
based upon time and expenses incurred.
(7) REVENUE RECOGNITION

    BEI has an exclusive Power Purchase  Agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric
(PG&E) under which PG&E pays capacity payments, as defined in the agreement, and
purchases all available energy, except for amounts sold to BVP, LP (see Note 5).
The Partnership  receives  substantially  all of its capacity payments from PG&E
during May through October, and receives payment for energy sales to PG&E during
May through January.  In fiscal 1996, this agreement will be assigned to a third
party lessee pursuant to a letter agreement discussed at Note 8.

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 31, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1) GENERAL

Organization

    BAF Energy, A California Limited Partnership (BAF Energy or the Partnership)
was  founded  in  1986  and is  engaged  in the  development,  construction  and
operation of a  cogeneration  facility.  The term of the  Partnership is through
December  2020 unless  terminated  earlier in  accordance  with the  Partnership
Agreement. The facility produces and sells electricity and steam.

    BAF Energy,  Inc. (BEI) is the general partner of the Partnership and has an
ownership  interest  of 1 percent.  BEI is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Basic
Vegetable  Products,  Inc.  (BVP).  BVP is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Basic
American,  Inc. (BAI). As of January 31, 1996, BAI also owned  approximately  51
percent of the limited partnership units of BAF Energy then outstanding.

    Distributions  and profit and loss are  allocated  99 percent to the limited
partners, based on their proportionate share of limited partnership units, and 1
percent to the general partner.

Basis of Interim Presentation

    The accompanying  interim condensed financial  statements of the Partnership
have been  prepared by the  Partnership,  without  audit by  independent  public
accountants,  pursuant  to the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management,  the condensed  consolidated
financial  statements  include all normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  to
present  fairly  the  information  required  to be set  forth  therein.  Certain
information  and note  disclosures  normally  included in  financial  statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed  or  omitted  from  these  statements   pursuant  to  such  rules  and
regulations  and,  accordingly,  should be read in conjunction  with the audited
financial  statements  of the  Partnership  for the year ended October 31, 1995.
Consistent  with  the  operating  schedule  of the  cogeneration  facility,  the
Partnership  receives  a  majority  of its  operating  revenue  between  May and
September.  Therefore,  the results of  operations  for the three  months  ended
January 31, 1996 and 1995 are not indicative of the results for the entire year.


(2) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The  Partnership  Agreement  requires that the Partnership pay BEI a monthly
administrative  fee.  This fee  amounted to $37,558 and $35,770 for the quarters
ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    The  Partnership  has entered  into a ground  lease with BAI for the land on
which the  facility  is located.  Rent was $37,554 and $35,764 for the  quarters
ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    The  Partnership  negotiated  a steam sales  contract  with Basic  Vegetable
Products,  LP (BVP,  LP).  The  General  Partner  of BVP,  LP is BVP.  Under the
contract,  the Partnership  supplies steam to BVP, LP's food  processing  plant.
Revenues  recorded  under the  contract  totaled  $38,333  and  $55,788  for the
quarters ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(4) SIGNIFICANT LEASE TRANSACTION:

    In April 1996,  the  Partnership  signed an agreement  with a third party to
enter into a 23-year lease of the cogeneration property, plant and equipment and
to assign all related  contracts.  Under the terms of the lease, the lessee will
assume all rights and responsibilities related to the ground lease with BAI (see
Note 2),  the BVP,  LP steam  sales  contract  (see Note 2) and a Pacific  Gas &
Electric (PG&E) Power Purchase Agreement.  The ground lease has a remaining term
of 23 years with BAI for the land on which the  facility is located.  This lease
includes options to extend the lease term up to an additional 30 years. The BVP,
LP steam  sales  contract  has a  remaining  term of 23  years.  The PG&E  Power
Purchase  Agreement states that PG&E pays capacity  payments,  as defined in the
agreement,  and purchases all available energy,  except for amounts sold to BVP,
LP.
