1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited combined financial statements included in the
Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for Northeast Energy Associates, A
Limited Partnership, and North Jersey Energy Associates, A Limited
Partnership (together, the "Partnerships") and IEC Funding Corp.
The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 are unaudited
and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. The unaudited financial information at June 30, 1997 and for the
periods ended June 30, 1997 contains all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, considered by management necessary for a fair
presentation of the operating results for such period.
2. RECLASSIFICATION
Certain reclassifications were made to prior year balances in order to
conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on prior year operating results.
3. DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions to the partners may be made only after all required funds and
sub-funds have been fully funded as described in the trust indenture. After
funding all amounts required under the indenture, the excess cash available
during the period ended June 30, 1997 was in excess of approximately $32.6
million. All conditions under the trust indenture for distributions of such
excess cash were satisfied after April 1, 1997 resulting in a distribution of
approximately $5.3 million in May and $27.3 million in June to the partners
in proportion to their designated interests in the Partnerships.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total revenue for the second quarter of 1997 of $72.1 million increased by $17.2
million (31.3%) as compared to the same period in 1996. Revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 of $154.4 million increased $20.6 million (15.4%) as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. An increase in revenue of
approximately $12 million for the quarter and the year to date is the result of
increased generation and availability in 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996 when scheduled major maintenance outages occurred at the Bellingham
facility (during the second quarter of 1996 a major inspection and maintenance
program, scheduled at five year intervals, was conducted at the Bellingham
facility) and fewer curtailment hours were requested by the Sayreville Power
Purchaser during the second quarter of 1997. Additionally, increased revenue of
$4.8 million on a quarterly basis and $8.5 million on a year to date basis
resulted from reductions in energy bank principal balances (per scheduled or
specified rates under certain Bellingham power contracts). Increases in purchase
rates under certain Bellingham power contracts were offset slightly by lower
rates under the Sayreville power contract during the first six months of 1997.
Cost of power and steam sales as a percentage of gross revenue (gross of
decrease in energy bank balances) was 55.9% for the second quarter of 1997
versus 52.1% for the second quarter of 1996. Year to date cost as a percentage
of gross revenue was 51.5% in 1997 as compared to 51.1% in 1996. The primary
cause of the increase was a year to date price increase under a fuel supply
contract that services both facilities which was reflected in the second
quarter. Additionally, fuel consumption increased in support of the increase in
generation during the second quarter of 1997. On a year to date basis the
increased cost of power and steam is attributable to net natural gas price
increases, offset by a reduction in extended gas service rights exercised by a
North Jersey Energy Associates' fuel supplier during the first quarter of 1997
as compared to 1996.
Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs increased $1.8 million (43.8%) as compared
to the second quarter of 1996 and increased $2.0 million (18.3%) as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 1996. The primary cause of the increased cost is
the performance bonus (which is directly related to the higher generation
experienced during the second quarter of 1997) payable to the O&M contractor
under the Bellingham O&M agreement. Other increases, which include normal and
expected escalations on O&M contracts, were offset by decreases in water and
sewer charges and engineering costs.
General and Administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the second quarter of
1997 as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in the prior year. On a
year to date basis 1997 costs were $6.8 million as compared to $6.9 million in
1996. Consulting costs decreased, offsetting increases in legal and overhead
costs.
Interest expense decreased $.5 million (4.2%) as compared to the second quarter
of 1996 and decreased $1.1 million (4.2%) as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1996. Interest on debt is decreasing in 1997 as a result of principal
payments made during 1996. Principal payments are made semi-annually on June
30, and December 30. Interest on energy bank balances decreased $.6 million
(11.3%) as compared to the second quarter of 1996 and decreased $1 million
(10.4%) as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. These decreases are
a result of changes to the underlying amounts accrued for energy bank
balances.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow generated during the period ended June 30, 1997 was more than
sufficient to fund all operating expenses as well as fund approximately $36
million of interest and principal required for payment on June 30, 1997. Excess
cash of $32.6 million was distributed to the partners during the second quarter.
