2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Interim Presentation -- The accompanying interim condensed consolidated
financial  statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company,  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 the 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
consolidated  financial  statements  of the Company  included  in the  Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results for
interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results for the entire
year.

Capitalized  interest -- The Company capitalizes interest on projects during the
construction  period.  For the three months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the
Company capitalized $2.0 million and $563,000 of interest in connection with the
construction of power plants.

Derivative  financial  instruments - The Company engages in activities to manage
risks  associated with changes in interest  rates.  The Company has entered into
swap agreements to reduce  exposure to interest rate  fluctuations in connection
with certain debt  commitments.  The instruments' cash flows mirror those of the
underlying exposure. Unrealized gains and losses relating to the instruments are
being  deferred  over  the  lives of the  contracts.  The  premiums  paid on the
instruments, as measured at inception, are being amortized over their respective
lives as components of interest  expense.  Any gains or losses realized upon the
early  termination  of these  instruments  are deferred and recognized in income
over the remaining life of the existing swap.

Reclassifications  --  Prior  period  amounts  in  the  consolidated   condensed
financial  statements have been  reclassified  where necessary to conform to the
1998 presentation.

        (1) On September 30, 1997, the  partnership  agreement  governing  Sumas
        Cogeneration   Company,   L.P.   ("Sumas")  was  amended   changing  the
        distribution  percentages  to  the  partners.  As  provided  for  in the
        amendment,  the Company's  percentage  share of the project's  cash flow
        increased from 50% to approximately  70% through June 30, 2001, based on
        certain specified payments.  Thereafter, the Company will receive 50% of
        the  project's  cash flow  until a 24.5%  pre-tax  rate of return on its
        original  investment  is achieved,  at which time the  Company's  equity
        interest in the partnership  will be reduced to 0.1%. As a result of the
        amendment  of the  partnership  agreement  and the  receipt  of  certain
        distributions during 1997, the Company's investment in Sumas was reduced
        to zero.  Because the  investment has been reduced to zero and there are
        no continuing  obligations of the Company related to Sumas,  the Company
        expects  that income  recorded in future  periods will  approximate  the
        amount of cash received from partnership distributions.

        (2)   On March 31,  1998,  the Company  acquired  the remaining 50% 
        interest in Texas Cogeneration Company.

5.        Repayment of Non-Recourse Financing

On March 31, 1998,  the Company  repaid $89.6 million to The Bank of Nova Scotia
which  represented  the  outstanding  balance on the original  $125.0 million of
non-recourse project financing utilized to fund a portion of the purchase of the
original 50% interest in Texas Cogeneration  Company, and the purchase of $155.6
million of notes receivable from the related  projects.  The Company  refinanced
the non-recourse debt with a portion of the net proceeds from the $300.0 million
offering of 7-7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008 (see Note 9).

6.        Texas City and Clear Lake Transaction

On March 31, 1998, the Company  acquired the remaining 50% interest in the Texas
City Power  Plant and the Clear Lake Power  Plant for a purchase  price of $52.8
million  in  cash,  subject  to  final  adjustments.  The  Company  has  certain
contingent  purchase  payments that could  approximate  2.2% of project  revenue
beginning in the year 2000, increasing to 2.9% in 2002. The Company acquired the
remaining  interests in these plants by  purchasing  the capital  stock of Texas
Cogeneration  Company ("TCC") from Dominion Cogen, Inc. ("DCI"). As part of this
transaction, the Company now owns a 7.5% interest in a 165 megawatt natural gas-

fired power plant located in Bayonne,  NJ. A wholly owned subsidiary
of Calpine now purchases a portion of its natural gas for the Texas power plants
from Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. In a related transaction, the Company
paid  approximately  $105.3  million to  restructure  certain gas contracts with
Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp

The purchase of the capital stock from DCI and the restructuring of certain gas
contracts  were funded with a portion of the net  proceeds  from the issuance of
the 7-7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008.

The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase.  The effective date of the
transaction was March 31, 1998.

On June 23, 1997,  the Company had acquired an initial 50% interest in the Texas
City and Clear Lake Power Plants  through the  acquisition of 50% of the capital
stock of  Enron/Dominion  Cogen Corp.  ("EDCC") from a subsidiary of Enron Corp.
EDCC was  subsequently  renamed  TCC. In addition to the purchase of the capital
stock of TCC in June 1997, the Company purchased from the project lenders $155.6
million  of  outstanding  debt on the Texas  City and Clear  Lake  Power  Plants
(approximately $53.0 and $102.6 million, respectively).

The following  represents unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997 assuming the acquisition  occurred as of January 1, 1997
(in thousands, except per share data):

               Diluted earnings per share           $    2.92

7.        Bethpage Transaction

On February 9, 1998,  the Company  acquired  the  remaining  55% interest in TBG
Cogen Partners Joint Venture ("TBG Cogen").  The  partnership  owns the Bethpage
Power  Plant,  a 57 megawatt  gas-fired  cogeneration  facility  located on Long
Island.  The total  purchase  price of $5.0  million  consisted  of:  (i) a $4.6
million cash payment,  and (ii) a $375,000  option  applied toward the purchase,
subject to final  adjustments.  The  Company  was also  assigned  all of General
Electric's interest as operator of the Bethpage Power Plant.

Upon the  acquisition  of the remaining 55%  interest,  the Company  assumed the
outstanding  debt of TBG Cogen. On March 31, 1998, the Company made a payment to
Toronto  Dominion,  Inc. of approximately  $38.2 million to pay off the existing
project debt, accrued interest,  and a related interest rate swap with a portion
of the net proceeds from the 7-7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008.  The  acquisition  is
being accounted for as a purchase.

8.        Financial Instruments

On March 31,  1998,  the  Company  completed  its Rule 144A  offering  of $300.0
million 7-7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008 ("Senior Notes Due 2008").  After deducting
discounts to initial  purchasers and expenses of the offering,  the net proceeds
from the

sale of the Senior Notes Due 2008 were  approximately  $293.5 million.  Proceeds
from the Senior  Notes Due 2008 were used as follows:  (i) $52.8  million to pay
for the purchase of the  remaining 50% interest in TCC (see Note 7), (ii) $105.3
million to pay for the  restructuring  of certain gas contracts  associated with
the TCC acquisition,  (iii) $89.6 million to repay the outstanding  principal on
the  non-recourse  debt  provided  by The Bank of Nova  Scotia,  and (iv)  $38.2
million to repay outstanding debt on the Bethpage Power Plant. Transaction costs
incurred in connection with the debt offering were recorded as a deferred charge
and are amortized  over the ten year life of the Senior Notes Due 2008 using the
effective interest rate method.

In anticipation of the Senior Notes Due 2008 offering,  the Company entered into
a forward  treasury bond during  February  1998. The Company closed its position
prior to the pricing date of the debt resulting in a gain of $2.3 million, which
was applied against transaction costs associated with the financing.

9.       Revolving Credit Facility and Line of Credit

At March 31, 1998,  the Company had a $50.0 million  credit  facility  available
with a consortium of commercial  lending  institutions which include The Bank of
Nova Scotia,  International Nederlanden U.S. Capital Corporation,  Sumitomo Bank
of California  and Canadian  Imperial Bank of Commerce.  At March 31, 1998,  the
Company had no  borrowings  and $15.4  million of letters of credit  outstanding
under the credit facility. Borrowings bear interest at The Bank of Nova Scotia's
base rate plus an  applicable  margin or at the London  Interbank  Offered  Rate
("LIBOR")  plus an applicable  margin.  Interest is paid on the last day of each
interest period for such loans,  but not less often than  quarterly.  The credit
facility expires in September 1999.

On May 15, 1998, the Company  replaced the $50.0 million credit  facility with a
$100.0 million credit facility which has a three year term.

10.       Earnings per Share

The  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," which replaces the  presentation  of primary  earnings per
share and fully diluted earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings
per share and diluted  earnings per share. As the Company incurred a loss during
the three months ended March 31, 1998, both basic and diluted earnings per share
are the same.

outstanding because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

11.       Contingencies

On September 30, 1997, a lawsuit was filed by Indeck North  American  Power Fund
("Indeck") in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against Norweb plc. and
certain other parties,  including the Company. Some of Indeck's claims relate to
Calpine  Gordonsville,  Inc.'s  acquisition  of a 50%  interest in  Gordonsville
Energy  L.P.  from  Northern  Hydro  Limited  and  Calpine  Auburndale,   Inc.'s
acquisition  of a 50%  interest  in  Auburndale  Power  Plant  Partners  Limited
Partnership from Norweb Power Services (No. 1) Limited.  Indeck is claiming that
Calpine Gordonsville,  Inc., Calpine Auburndale, Inc. and the Company tortiously
interfered  with  Indeck's  contractual  rights to purchase  such  interests and
conspired  with other  parties  to do so.  Indeck is  seeking  $25.0  million in
compensatory  damages,  $25.0 million in punitive  damages,  and the recovery of
attorneys'  fees and costs.  All the  defendants  filed  motions to dismiss such
claims,  which are currently  pending.  The Company  believes that the claims of
Indeck are without merit and that the  resolution of this matter will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  or  results of
operations.

There is currently a dispute between  Texas-New Mexico Power Company ("TNP") and
Clear Lake Cogeneration Limited Partnership  ("CLC"),  which owns the Clear Lake
Power Plant,  regarding  certain  costs and other  amounts that TNP has withheld
from payments due under the power sales agreement.  As of December 31, 1997, TNP
has withheld  approximately $5.4 million related to transmission charges and has
continued to withhold approximately  $450,000 per month thereafter.  CLC filed a
petition  for  declaratory  order  with the Texas  Public  Utilities  Commission
("Texas  PUC") on October 2, 1997  requesting  that the Texas PUC  declare  that
TNP's  withholding is in error.  This matter is pending before the Texas PUC. In
addition,  as of March 31, 1998, TNP has withheld  approximately $5.2 million of
standby power charges and has continued to withhold  approximately  $270,000 per
month thereafter. CLC has filed a lawsuit in Texas against TNP claiming that TNP
is in breach of certain  provisions of the power sales agreement,  including the
provisions involved in the disputes described above, and is seeking in excess of
$15.0  million in damages.  A trial has been  rescheduled  to commence  from the
previously  reported date of June 1998 to October of 1998. The Company is unable
to predict the outcome of either of these proceedings.

An action was filed against Lockport Energy  Associates,  L.P. ("LEA") on August
7, 1997 by New York State  Electricity and Gas Company  ("NYSEG") in the Federal
District  Court for the Northern  District of New York.  NYSEG has requested the
Court to direct the Federal Energy  Regulatory  Commission  (the "FERC") and the
New York Public Service  Commission  ("NYPSC"),  to modify  contract rates to be
paid to the Lockport Power Plant. On October 14, 1997,  NYPSC, a named defendant
in the NYSEG action,  filed a cross-claim  alleging that the FERC violated PURPA
and the  Federal  Power Act by failing to reform  the NYSEG  contract  which was
previously  approved  by the NYPSC.  LEA  continues  to  vigorously  defend this
action,  although  it is unable to predict  the  outcome  of this case.  Calpine
retains the right to require The Brooklyn Union Gas Company  ("BUG") to purchase
Calpine's  interest in the Lockport Power Plant for $18.9  million,  less equity
distributions  received by Calpine, at any time before December 19, 2001. In the
event the NYSEG's action is successful, Calpine may choose to exercise its right
to require BUG to

purchase its interest in the Lockport Power Plant.

On February  17,  1998,  the Company  filed an action in the  Superior  Court of
California,  Sonoma County, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief to prevent
Pacific  Gas  &  Electric  Company  ("PG&E")  from  unilaterally  assigning  the
Company's  steam sales  contract  to the  prospective  winning  bidder in PG&E's
recently  announced  auction of its power plants in The Geysers.  On January 14,
1998, PG&E filed an application  with the CPUC pursuant to Public Utilities Code
Section  851  ("851  Filing"),  in  which it seeks  authorization  to sell  five
electric  generating  plants and related assets.  Included in this proposed sale
are The Geysers  Geothermal Power Plants (including Units 13 and 16) and certain
of PG&E's fossil fueled steam-electric  generating plants. In PG&E's 851 Filing,
PG&E  announced  its  intention  to assign its rights and to delegate its duties
under the Company's  steam contract to the successful  third party  purchaser of
the Unit 13 and Unit 16 Power Plants. The Company had been informed by PG&E that
it will attempt to make such assignment and delegation without first seeking and
obtaining the approval and consent of the Company.  In April 1998,  PG&E and the
Company entered into an agreement to resolve their  differences  relating to the
assignability  of the steam sales  contract.  Under the terms of the  agreement,
Calpine has  dismissed  the Sonoma  County  Superior  Court lawsuit and PG&E has
withdrawn its motion to modify the Assigned Commissioners Ruling in the CPUC 851
divestiture proceeding as it relates to Calpine. As part of the agreement,  PG&E
and Calpine  have agreed to amend the steam sales  agreement to modify the steam
pricing  formula and to grant  Calpine a right of first  refusal to purchase the
Units 13 and 16 power  plants for the same price and terms as PG&E is willing to
sell to a third party buyer in the 851 auction.

The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising out of
the normal  course of business.  The Company does not expect that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of  operations,  although no assurance  can be given in this
regard.

12.       Subsequent Event

On April 9, 1998 the Company  terminated an existing  interest rate swap related
to the debt for the Clear Lake Power Plant.  Approximately $3.7 million was paid
by the Company to the Bank of Nova Scotia in terminating the existing swap.

OVERVIEW
- --------

Calpine  Corporation  ("Calpine")  a  Delaware  corporation,   and  subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Company")  is  engaged  in the  acquisition,  development,
ownership  and  operation  of  power  generation  facilities  and  the  sale  of
electricity and steam  principally in the United States.  At March 31, 1998, the
Company  had  interests  in 24 power  plants and steam  fields in six states and
Mexico, having an aggregate capacity of 2,778 megawatts.

Reflecting the seasonality of several of its long-term  power sales  agreements,
the Company  reported a net loss of $3.1  million,  or ($0.15) per basic  common
share, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This compared to a net loss of
$4.0 million, or ($.20) per basic common share, for the same period in 1997.

On February 5, 1998,  the Company  acquired the  remaining  55% interest in, and
assumed  operations and  maintenance  of, the Bethpage Power Plant.  The Company
purchased the remaining interests for approximately $5.0 million.  Additionally,
on March 31,  1998 the  Company  repaid all  outstanding  project  debt of $38.2
million.

On February 18, 1998,  the Company  announced that it had entered into exclusive
negotiations  to acquire a 70 megawatt  gas-fired  cogeneration  power plant and
natural gas pipeline system from The Dow Chemical  Company located in Pittsburg,
California.  There  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  successfully
complete this acquisition.

On March 31, 1998,  the Company  completed the  acquisition of the remaining 50%
interest in the Texas  Cogeneration  Company ("TCC"),  which is the owner of the
Texas City and Clear Lake Power  Plants.  The Company paid $52.8 million in cash
and must make certain  contingent  purchase payments that could approximate 2.2%
of project  revenue  beginning in the year 2000,  increasing to 2.9% in 2002. As
part of this acquisition, the Company now is the owner of a 7.5% interest in the


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Bayonne Power Plant, a 165 megawatt natural gas-fired  cogeneration  power plant
located in Bayonne, New Jersey. In addition,  the Company paid $105.3 million to
restructure certain gas contracts related to this transaction.

Included in the results of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1998
are the King City and Gilroy Power Plants which each have a generating  capacity
of 120 megawatts. In accordance with their power sales agreements, the King City
and Gilroy  Power  Plants did not generate  electricity  during this period.  As
scheduled, both power plants resumed operation on May 1, 1998 and 1997.

SELECTED OPERATING INFORMATION
- ------------------------------

Set forth below is certain selected  operating  information for the power plants

from  operating  activities  (determined in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles).

Interest  expense  per  indenture  is defined  as total  interest  expense  plus
one-third  of all  operating  lease  obligations,  dividends  paid in respect to
preferred stock and cash contributions to any employee stock ownership plan used
to pay interest on loans to purchase capital stock of the company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997

REVENUE -- Total  revenue  increased  41% to $55.1  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to $39.2 million in 1997.

         Electricity  and steam sales revenue  increased 29% to $43.4 million in
1998 compared to $33.7 million in 1997.  The Bethpage  Power Plant provided $4.9
million  of  revenue  since  February  5, 1998 when the  Company  acquired  100%
ownership. The increase in electricity and steam sales was partially due to $2.9
million  of  increased  capacity  revenue  from the  Gilroy  and King City Power
Plants, and a $1.9 million increase from geothermal operations.

         Service contract revenue  increased to $5.5 million in 1998 compared to
$1.8 million in 1997.  The 206%  increase was primarily  attributable  to a $1.9
million  increase  from  fuel  management  fees, as well as an increase  of $1.6
million in operations and maintenance revenue from the Texas City and Clear Lake
Power Plants, which the Company acquired a 50% interest in June 1997.

Income from  unconsolidated  investments in power projects increased 90% to $3.8
million in 1998 compared to $2.0 million  during 1997. The increase is primarily
attributable  to $2.9 million of equity income from the Company's  investment in
the Texas City and Clear Lake Power Plants which were acquired in June 1997, and
$1.4 million of equity income from the Company's  investment in the Gordonsville
Power  Plant.  The above  increases  were offset by a $1.1  million  decrease in
equity  income  from the Sumas  power  project  and a $1.4  million  loss due to
seasonality at the Kennedy International Airport, Lockport and Stony Brook Power
Plants.

         Interest  income  on  loans  to power  projects  increased  47% to $2.5
million in 1998  compared to $1.7  million in 1997.  The  increase is  primarily
related  to loans  made by the  Company  to the Texas  City and Clear Lake Power
Plants.

COST OF  REVENUE  -- Cost of  revenue  increased  29% to $39.4  million  in 1998
compared to $30.6  million in 1997.  The increase of $8.8 million was  primarily
attributable  to a $2.8  million  increase  in plant  operating  expenses at the
Company's  geothermal  operations  due  to  increased  production,  and  due  to
operations at the Bethpage  Power Plant since the Company's  acquisition  of the
remaining interest in the facility on February 5, 1998. Additionally,  there was
a $3.5 million increase in service contract  expenses,  of which $1.3 million is
related to the Texas City and Clear Lake Power Plants' operating and maintenance
contracts, $1.3 million with the fuel management contracts and $764,300 increase
due to the Calpine Gas Company.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT  EXPENSES -- Project  development  expenses decreased 23% to
$1.7 million in 1998 compared to $2.2 million in 1997,  due primarily to charges
incurred  in the first  three  months of 1997  related  to  project  development
activities.

GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES -- General  and  administrative  expenses
increased  24% to $5.2  million  for the three  months in 1998  compared to $4.2
million in 1997. The increase was  attributable to continued growth in personnel
and  associated  overhead  costs  necessary to support the overall growth in the
Company's operations.

INTEREST  EXPENSE -- Interest  expense  increased  42% to $18.5  million for the
three  months in 1998  from  $13.0  million  for the same  period  in 1997.  The
increase was attributable to (i) $6.0 million related to the 8-3/4% Senior Notes
Due 2007  issued in July and  September  1997 and (ii) $2.1  million of interest
expense  on debt  related  to the  acquisition  of the Texas City and Clear Lake
Power Plants.  These increases were partially offset by $2.0 million of interest
capitalized on equity  investments for the development and construction of power
plants.

INTEREST INCOME -- Interest  income  decreased 29% to $2.4 million for the three
months in 1998 from $3.4  million for the same period in 1997.  The  decrease is
the result of lower cash and cash equivalent balances.

OTHER  INCOME,  NET -- Other  income,  net,  increased to $401,000 for the three
months in 1998  compared to $200,000  for the same period in 1997.  The increase
was attributable to higher royalty income.

PROVISION  FOR INCOME TAXES -- The effective  income tax rate was  approximately
56% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The reductions from the statutory
tax rate were  primarily due to depletion in excess of tax basis benefits at the
Company's geothermal  facilities and a decrease in the California taxes paid due
to the Company's expansion into states other than California.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

To date, the Company has obtained cash from its operations, borrowings under its
credit facilities and other working capital lines, sale of debt and equity,  and
proceeds from non-recourse project financing.  The Company utilized this cash to
fund its operations, service debt obligations, fund the acquisition, development
and construction of power generation  facilities,  finance capital  expenditures
and meet its other cash and liquidity needs.

The following  table  summarizes  the  Company's  cash flow  activities  for the
periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Operating  activities  for the three months ended March 31, 1998  provided  $3.5
million,   consisting  of  approximately   $12.6  million  of  depreciation  and
amortization,  $14.7 million net decrease in operating  assets,  $2.2 million of
distributions from unconsolidated  investments in power projects, offset by $3.1

<PAGE>

million of net loss from  operations,  $3.8 million of deferred income taxes and
$19.1 million net increase in operating liabilities.

Investing  activities  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 used $154.3
million,  primarily due to $158.1  million for the  acquisition of the remaining
50% interest in the Texas City and Clear Lake Power Plants, $4.6 million for the
acquisition  of the  remaining  55% interest in the Bethpage  Power Plant,  $7.2
million of capital  expenditures  related to the  construction  of the  Pasadena
Power  Plant,  $5.8  million  of other  capital  expenditures,  $2.9  million of
capitalized project development costs, offset by the receipt of $13.8 million of
loan  payments  from Texas City and Clear Lake Power  Plants and $4.5 million of
maturities  of  collateral  securities  in  connection  with the King City Power
Plant.

Financing  activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998 provided  $199.2
million of cash  consisting of $43.0 million of borrowings for the  construction
of  the  Pasadena  Power  Plant,  $1.5  million  of  borrowings  for  contingent
consideration  in connection with the acquisition of the Gilroy Power Plant, and
$293.5  million of net proceeds  from the issuance of the Senior Notes Due 2008,
partially  offset  by  $140.9  million  in  repayment  of  non-recourse  project
financing and $4.8 million of costs associated with financing activities.

At March 31,  1998,  cash and cash  equivalents  were $97.0  million and working
capital was $116.7 million.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, cash and
cash  equivalents  increased by $48.4 million and working  capital  increased by
$128.7 million as compared to December 31, 1997.

As a developer,  owner and operator of power generation facilities,  the Company
may be required to make  long-term  commitments  and  investments of substantial
capital for its projects.  The Company  historically  has financed these capital
requirements with cash from operations,  borrowings under its credit facilities,
other lines of credit, non-recourse project financing or long-term debt, and the
sale of equity.

Management continues to evaluate current and forecasted cash flow as a basis for
financing operating requirements and capital expenditures.  The Company believes
that  it  will  have  sufficient  liquidity  from  cash  flow  from  operations,
borrowings  available  under the lines of credit and working  capital to satisfy
all obligations under outstanding  indebtedness,  to finance anticipated capital
expenditures  and to fund  working  capital  requirements  for the  next  twelve
months.  The Company expects to commit  significant  capital in future years for
the  acquisition  and  development of these power plants.  The Company's  actual
capital expenditures may vary significantly during any year.

During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  the  credit  ratings  on the
Company's  senior unsecured debt were upgraded by Moody's  Investors  Service to
"Ba2" from "Ba3" and by Standard & Poor's to "BB-" from "B+",. In addition, Duff
& Phelps  Credit  Rating Co.  assigned an initial  credit  rating of "BB" on the
Company's senior unsecured debt.

At March 31, 1998,  the Company had a $50.0 million  revolving  credit  facility
available  with a consortium of commercial  lending  institutions.  At March 31,
1998,  the  Company  had no  borrowings  and $15.4  million of letters of credit
outstanding  under the credit  facility.  (See Note 9 of Condensed  Consolidated
Financial  Statements).  On May 15, 1998, the Company replaced the $50.0 million
credit  facility with a $100.0 million credit  facility with a three-year  term.
The credit facility contains certain restrictions that limit or prohibit,  among

                                      -17-

other  things,  the  ability  of  the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries  to  incur
indebtedness,  make  payments  of  certain  indebtedness,  pay  dividends,  make
investments,  engage in transactions with affiliates,  create liens, sell assets
and engage in  mergers  and  consolidations.  

The Company has a $1.2 million  working  capital  line with a commercial  lender
that may be used to fund short-term  working capital  commitments and letters of
credit.  At March 31,  1998,  the Company had no  borrowings  under this working
capital  line and $74,000 of letters of credit  outstanding.  Borrowings  are at
prime plus 1%.

At March 31, 1998,  the Company had $105.0  million of outstanding 9-1/4% Senior
Notes Due 2004,  which  mature on  February  1, 2004 and bear  interest  payable
semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. In addition,  the Company
had $180.0 million of outstanding 10-1/2% Senior Notes Due 2006, which mature on
May 15, 2006 and bear interest  payable  semi-annually on May 15 and November 15
of each year.  During 1997,  the Company  issued $275.0 million of 8-3/4% Senior
Notes  Due  2007,  which  mature  on July 15,  2007 and  bear  interest  payable
semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

On March 31, 1998 the  Company  completed  the Rule 144A  offering of its $300.0
million  7-7/8%  Senior  Notes Due 2008.  After  deducting  discounts to initial
purchasers  and expenses of the offering,  the net proceeds from the sale of the
Senior  Notes  Due 2008 were  approximately  $293.5  million  (See Note 8 to the
Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for use of proceeds  and further
information).  Under the  provisions of the applicable  indentures,  the Company
may, under certain  circumstances,  be limited in its ability to make restricted
payments,  as  defined,  which  includes  dividends  and certain  purchases  and
investments, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain transactions.


OUTLOOK
- -------

The  Company  receives  from PG&E a fixed  price of 13.83 cents for each unit of
electrical  energy according to schedules set forth in the long-term power sales
agreements  for Bear  Canyon and West Ford Flat Power  Plants.  The fixed  price
periods  under these power sales  agreements  expire in  September  and December
1998,  respectively.  After the fixed price periods expire,  while the basis for
the capacity  and capacity  bonus  payments  under these power sales  agreements
remains the same,  the energy  payments  will adjust from the interim  short-run
avoided cost  ("SRAC") or the energy  clearing-price  of the  independent  power
exchange  which  commenced  operations  on March  31,  1998 and is  deemed to be
functioning smoothly. The average prices per kilowatt for SRAC for the year 1997
and for the  first  three  months  of 1998  were  2.94  cents  and  2.90  cents,
respectively.  Due  to  seasonality,  such  average  energy  prices  may  not be
indicative of future energy  prices.  During the first three months of 1998, the
Bear Canyon and West Ford Flat Power Plants generated approximately  100,226,000
kilowatt  hours of electrical  energy for sale.  The Company  expects  decreased
royalty  expenses  can  potentially  mitigate the  forecasted  decline in energy
revenues and planned  operating cost  reductions at these  facilities,  although
there can be no assurances in this regard.  The Company  expects to continue its
strategy of replacing decreased revenues through its acquisition and development
program.

Deregulation within the Power Generation Industry.  Many states are implementing
or considering  regulatory  initiatives  designed to increase competition in the
domestic power  generation  industry.  In December  1995, the California  Public
Utilities   Commission  ("CPUC")  issued  an  electric  industry   restructuring
decision,  


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

which  envisioned  commencement of deregulation and  implementation  of customer
choice of electricity supplier by January 1, 1998. Legislation implementing this
decision  was adopted in  September  1996.  The CPUC  subsequently  extended the
implementation  date to April 1, 1998. As part of its policy decision,  the CPUC
indicated that power sales agreements of existing qualifying facilities would be
honored.  The Company  cannot  predict the final form or timing of the  proposed
restructuring and the impact, if any, that such restructuring  would have on the
Company's existing business or results of operations.  The Company believes that
any such  restructuring  would  not have a  material  effect on all of its power
sales  agreements  and,  accordingly,  believes  that its existing  business and
results of operations would not be materially adversely affected, although there
can be no assurance in this regard.

Impact of Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements.  In February  1998,  the Financial
Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No.  132,  "Employers'  Disclosures  about  Pensions  and  Other  Postretirement
Benefits." This statement  revises  standards for disclosures  about pension and
other  postretirement  benefit plans and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after  December 15, 1997.  This  standard  expands or modifies  disclosure  and,
accordingly will have no impact on the company's  reported  financial  position,
results of operations and cash flows.

Year 2000  Compliance.  To ensure that the Company's  computer  systems are Year
2000 compliant,  the Company  continues to prepare for the Year 2000 issue.  The
Company  has been  reviewing  each of its  financial  and  operating  systems to
identify those that contain  two-digit year codes.  The Company is assessing the
amount of  programming  required  to  upgrade or  replace  each of the  affected
programs with the goal of completing all relevant internal software  remediation
and testing by 1998, with continuing Year 2000 compliance  efforts through 1999.
In addition,  the Company is actively  working with all of its  partnerships  to
assess their compliance  efforts and the Company's  exposure resulting from Year
2000 issues.

Based upon current information, the Company does not anticipate costs associated
with the Year 2000 issue to have a material financial impact. However, there can
be no assurances that there will not be  interruptions  or other  limitations of
financial and operating systems functionality or that the Company will not incur
significant  costs to avoid such  interruptions  or  limitations.  The Company's
expectations  about future costs associated with the Year 2000 issue are subject
to  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to have a greater  financial
impact than currently  anticipated.  Factors that could influence the amount and
timing of future costs include the success of the Company in identifying systems
and  programs  that  contain  two-digit  year  codes,  the  nature and amount of
programming  required to upgrade or replace each of the affected  programs,  the
rate and magnitude of related labor and consulting costs, and the success of the
Company's partnerships in addressing the Year 2000 issue.

The  forward-looking  statements  discussed  in this outlook  section  involve a
number of risks and uncertainties.  Other risks and uncertainties  include,  but
are not limited to, the general  economy,  regulatory  conditions,  the changing
environment of the power generation industry,  pricing, the effects of legal and
administrative cases and proceedings,  and such other risks and uncertainties as
may be detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports and filings.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February  17,  1998,  the Company  filed an action in the  Superior  Court of
California,  Sonoma County, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief to prevent
Pacific  Gas  &  Electric  Company  ("PG&E")  from  unilaterally  assigning  the
Company's  steam sales  contract  to the  prospective  winning  bidder in PG&E's
recently  announced  auction of its power plants in The Geysers.  On January 14,
1998, PG&E filed an application  with the CPUC pursuant to Public Utilities Code
Section  851  ("851  Filing"),  in  which it seeks  authorization  to sell  five
electric  generating  plants and related assets.  Included in this proposed sale
are The Geysers  Geothermal Power Plants (including Units 13 and 16) and certain
of PG&E's fossil fueled steam-electric  generating plants. In PG&E's 851 Filing,
PG&E  announced  its  intention  to assign its rights and to delegate its duties
under the Company's  steam contract to the successful  third party  purchaser of
the Unit 13 and Unit 16 Power Plants. The Company had been informed by PG&E that
it will attempt to make such assignment and delegation without first seeking and
obtaining the approval and consent of the Company.  In April 1998,  PG&E and the
Company entered into an agreement to resolve their  differences  relating to the
assignability  of the steam sales  contract.  Under the terms of the  agreement,
Calpine has  dismissed  the Sonoma  County  Superior  Court lawsuit and PG&E has
withdrawn its motion to modify the Assigned Commissioners Ruling in the CPUC 851
divestiture proceeding as it relates to Calpine. As part of the agreement,  PG&E
and Calpine  have agreed to amend the steam sales  agreement to modify the steam
pricing  formula and to grant  Calpine a right of first  refusal to purchase the
Units 13 and 16 power  plants for the same price and terms as PG&E is willing to
sell to a third party buyer in the 851 auction.
