ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On March 31, 1997, Edison Mission Energy ("EME") entered into agreements with
the State Electricity Commission of Victoria ("SECV") to acquire the remaining
49% of the 1,000 megawatt ("MW") Loy Yang B Power Station as part of a
restructuring of the existing power sales and other agreements.
Loy Yang B's principal assets consist of two 500 MW units fired by brown coal
located near Melbourne, Australia which generate approximately 18% of the State
of Victoria's electricity. The units commenced commercial operation in October
1993 and October 1996, respectively. EME acquired 51% of Loy Yang B from the
SECV in December 1992. The acquisition of the remaining 49% and the
restructuring of the existing agreements will occur upon the close of financing,
which is currently scheduled for May 1997.
