MOBILE ENERGY SERVICES COMPANY, L.L.C.
MOBILE ENERGY SERVICES HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
(A) Mobile Energy is contractually obligated under three energy service
agreements (the "Agreements") to provide Power Processing Services and Steam
Processing Services to a tissue mill (the "Tissue Mill"), a pulp mill (the "Pulp
Mill"), and a paper mill (the "Paper Mill," and together with the Tissue Mill
and the Pulp Mill, the "Mills") and Liquor Processing Services to the Pulp Mill
for a period of 25 years beginning December 16, 1994. Under the terms of the
Agreements, the Mill Owners are obligated to pay monthly fixed demand charges
for dedicated capacity of the Energy Complex and also variable charges for
actual amounts purchased.
(B) Mobile Energy is subject to dynamic federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
has proposed (1) certain standards for the control of waste water pollutants
facilities and (2) a national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants
from facilities which would include the Mills (the "Cluster Rule"). If
promulgated as proposed, the Cluster Rule (which would principally apply to the
Mills) probably will require significant modifications to the Mills. The EPA
also plans to propose regulations applicable to combustion sources at pulp and
paper facilities. These regulations, collectively referred to as the "Combustion
Rule," will likely consist of effluent guidelines and hazardous air pollutant
emission standards. The EPA currently plans to propose the Combustion Rule
during 1997.
Accordingly, the Cluster Rule could have a materially adverse impact on
the economic status of the Mills and the amount of processing services they
require, and the Combustion Rule could have a materially adverse impact on
Mobile Energy directly by requiring Mobile Energy to modify its equipment or
operations in order to comply with the Combustion Rule's provisions. Under the
Master Operating Agreement, Mobile Energy generally is permitted to charge the
Mills the reasonable cost of capital expenditures and operations and maintenance
expenses incurred by Mobile Energy as a result of the Cluster Rule or the
Combustion Rule. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a Mill Owner would
not abandon its Mill rather than incur the costs imposed by the Cluster Rule (or
any other environmental or nonenvironmental law or regulation) or would have the
ability to comply with its obligations under the Master Operating Agreement
associated with the Combustion Rule. Either such result could have a materially
adverse impact on Mobile Energy's financial condition and results of operations.
As regulatory agencies have not yet promulgated final standards for
some existing programs, and as some proposed requirements(such as the Cluster
Rule) have not yet been enacted or adopted, Mobile Energy cannot at this time
reasonably estimate its costs of compliance with these additional programs and
requirements (some of which will not take effect for several years or may not be
promulgated at all) or the timing of any such costs.

(C) In connection with the Acquisition, Mobile Energy entered into noncancelable
land leases (the "Leases") with Scott/Kimberly-Clark. Rent expense under the
Leases approximates $1 per year from 1995 through 2019. Also contained in the
Leases is a right to purchase the land from Scott/Kimberly-Clark at the end of
the lease term for $10. However, retention of the property is not under the
control of Mobile Energy due to Scott/Kimberly-Clark's superseding option to
repurchase the Energy Complex from Mobile Energy at the end of the lease term at
fair market value. Accordingly, Mobile Energy's repurchase option is not
reasonable assured and therefore is not considered a bargain purchase option
under SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Background
Mobile Energy and Holdings were formed to acquire, own and manage the energy and
black liquor recovery complex (the "Energy Complex") located at an integrated
pulp, paper and tissue manufacturing facility in Mobile, Alabama (the "Mobile
Facility"). Holdings acquired the Energy Complex (the "Acquisition") and
commenced operations on December 16, 1994 (the "Acquisition Closing Date").
Holdings transferred all its interests in the Energy Complex to Mobile Energy on
July 14, 1995. Mobile Energy's sole business consists exclusively of the
ownership and management of the Energy Complex. Holdings, which owns 99% of the
equity interests in Mobile Energy, does not conduct any independent operations.
Southern Energy owns the remaining equity interest in Mobile Energy.
The Mobile Facility is a physically integrated complex that produces tissue
and paper products from timber that is processed into bleached and unbleached
pulp. The Mobile Facility is comprised of the Energy Complex, a tissue mill (the
"Tissue Mill"), a pulp mill (the "Pulp Mill"), and a paper mill (the "Paper
Mill," and together with the Tissue Mill and the Pulp Mill, the "Mills"). The
Mills currently obtain all of their aggregate steam processing needs and 98
percent of their aggregate power processing needs from the Energy Complex. In
addition, the Energy Complex processes weak black liquor delivered by the Pulp
Mill Owner into green liquor, a necessary component of the pulp making process
(this process, the "Liquor Processing Services"). The conversion of weak black
liquor into green liquor involves a combustion process which provides heat that
is further used to generate steam (the "Steam Processing Services") and
electricity (the "Power Processing Services"). Mobile Energy's revenues are
comprised almost entirely of Demand Charges and Processing Charges for services
provided to the Mills.
Demand Charges represent compensation to Mobile Energy for dedicating a
portion of the Energy Complex's capacity to the Mills. Demand Charges are
designed generally to cover, among other things, costs that are in the nature of
fixed costs, including debt service. Processing Charges are paid by each Mill
Owner to Mobile Energy based on formulary usage charges which vary from month to
month, based on the amount of Processing Services required by, and provided to,
each Mill Owner, and on Mobile Energy's efficiency with respect to fuel usage.
Processing Charges are designed generally to cover the balance of Mobile
Energy's costs that are not projected to be covered by Demand Charges, including
fuel expenses.
Results of Operations
Because the Energy Complex was not operated as an independent business prior to
its acquisition by Holdings, Holdings did not purchase a business from Scott
but, rather, purchased assets. Since the Acquisition, Holdings and subsequently
Mobile Energy have operated such assets as an independent business. The business
with respect to the Energy Complex commenced on December 16, 1994 when Holdings
began operations. As a consequence of the relatively short time period Holdings
and Mobile Energy have operated the Energy Complex, discussion and analysis of
their results of operations is necessarily limited in scope, and may not be
indicative of their future results of operations and financial condition. Thus,
the financial information contained herein is not necessarily representative of
the future results of operations and financial condition of Mobile Energy or
Holdings.
19
<PAGE>
The relationship between Holdings and Mobile Energy is a parent-subsidiary
relationship. Holdings' material assets are comprised solely of its ownership
interest in Mobile Energy and its rights in respect of a tax sharing agreement
(the "Southern Master Tax Sharing Agreement"), which apportions consolidated
income tax among Southern and its corporate subsidiaries, including Holdings.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Holdings reflect the
assets, liabilities, and operating results of Mobile Energy.
Revenues
Operating revenues for the second quarter of 1997 decreased $0.1 million, or
0.7%, compared to the second quarter 1996. The decrease is primarily due to
decrease in revenue for Demand Charges offset by increase in Processing Sales.
For year to date 1997 versus year to date 1996, operating revenues increased
$0.9 million or 2.2% primarily due to increased processing sales revenue and
increased gas prices partially offset by Demand Charges. The level of Processing
Sales for both periods reflects utilization of the Energy Complex near capacity
levels. Demand Charges and Processing Sales for the second quarters of 1997 and
1996, and year to date 1997 1996 in thousands of dollars and expressed as a
percent of total revenues, were as follows:

Prior to the installation of certain electrical meters, which was completed
in February 1996, Mobile Energy could not precisely determine the peak usage of
each Mill for Power Processing Services.
Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $0.3 million, or 2.4%, from $11.0 million to
$11.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same
period for 1996. Total operating expenses increased $2.0 million or 8.9% from
$22.2 million to $24.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
compared to the prior year period. These increases are primarily due to the
increase in Operation and Maintenance Costs and fuel expenses. The Operation and
Maintenance Costs increased from $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 to
$6.4 million the second quarter in 1997, an 8.7% increase. For the six month
period ended June 30, 1997, Operation and Maintenance Costs increased $1.0
million or 8.6% from the prior year period. Operation and Maintenance Costs
increased due to a 3% salaries increase, an increase in overtime due to training
in the utility line of progression, and two unscheduled outages, one related to
a power boiler tube failure and the second related to a breaker failure. In
addition, fuel expenses increased $0.6 million, or 16.0%, for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 as a result of
increased gas prices. Fuel expense decreased for 3 month period ended June 30,
1997 $.4 million from $2.0 million to $1.6 million for the same period in 1996.
This decrease is attributable to a reduction in the volume of coal used in 1996
versus 1997.
Interest expense decreased $.2 million, or 2.4%, in the second quarter 1997
compared to the same period for 1996. Interest expense decreased $.4 million or
2.3% to $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $15.1 million
in the prior year period. The decrease reflects the $8.4 million repayment of
short-term notes payable in 1997.
Mobile Energy's net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $2.3 million,
representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 12.3%, compared to the second
quarter of 1996 which was mainly due to an increase in Operation and Maintenance
Costs as explained previously. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997
Mobile Energy's net income was $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $0.9
million or 16.5% from the same period in 1996. Similarly, Holding's net income
for the second quarter of 1997 also decreased 11.5%, or $0.2 million, compared
to the second quarter of 1996 and reflects comparable decreases in minority
interest and income taxes. Holding's net income for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 was $2.7 million representing a $0.5 million or 16.4% decrease
from the same period in 1996. Income taxes were provided based on a combined
38.25% state and federal rate applied to pretax income of $2.3 million for the
second quarter of 1997, $2.6 million for the second quarter of 1996, $4.3
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, and $5.2 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1997, Holdings had $7.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and
total debt of $310.5 million. This level of liquidity (as applied to Mobile
Energy) will be affected by Mobile Energy's operating performance, capital
expenditures and dividend policies.
Mobile Energy's working capital needs generally relate to Operation and
Maintenance Costs and debt service. In accordance with the Intercreditor
Agreement, Mobile Energy will reserve funds for certain operation and
maintenance activities in a separate account (the "Maintenance Reserve Account")
before such operation and maintenance activities are performed for Mobile
Energy.
Operation and Maintenance Costs are budgeted at $30.5 million and $31.4
million for 1997 and 1998, respectively. During the six month period ended June
30, 1997, actual Operation and Maintenance Costs aggregated $13.2 million
compared to a budget of $12.9 million due to overtime for the unplanned outage
of the a conveyor bucket belt, training in the utility line of progression, and
maintenance costs for two unscheduled outages. As of June 30, 1997 Mobile Energy
also had spent approximately $23.0 million on the construction and installation
of certain facilities and equipment and to purchase inventory, of which
approximately $0.6 million was expended during the second quarter of 1997.
Mobile Energy's projected accrued obligations for required payments of
principal and interest on long-term debt for calendar years 1997 and 1998 are
$34.7 million and $34.5 million, respectively. Payments of principal and
interest on long-term debt for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 aggregated $17.3 million, and $12.3 million, respectively.
Mobile Energy's principal sources of working capital are cash flow from
operations, borrowings under a revolving credit facility providing working
capital loans to Mobile Energy (which is limited to $15.0 million), balances in
the Maintenance Reserve Account and drawings under a Southern guaranty in
respect of the Maintenance Reserve Account and/or under any revolving credit
facility maintained by Southern to provide liquidity with respect to such
Southern guaranty. Since December 31, 1996, Mobile Energy has drawn an aggregate
of $8.8 million under such a revolving credit facility maintained by Southern
with Banque Paribas. As of June 30, 1997, $7.0 million of this amount had been
repaid by Southern.
Mobile Energy has established a separate account (the "Mill Owner
Maintenance Reserve Account") pursuant to the Master Operating Agreement and the
Mill Owner Maintenance Reserve Account Agreement for the benefit of Mobile
Energy and, while the Mill Owners are exercising the Mill Owner Step-In Rights,
the Mill Owners. The Mill Owner Maintenance Reserve Account is currently funded
in an amount equal to $2.0 million. In lieu of funding the Mill Owner
Maintenance Reserve Account with cash, Mobile Energy provided capital infusion
arrangements executed by Southern in favor of Mobile Energy and the Mill Owners
in an amount equal to $2.0 million in the aggregate. The Mill Owner Maintenance
Reserve Account and monies on deposit therein, or otherwise credited thereto, do
not secure Mobile Energy's senior indebtedness. Nevertheless, given that the
Master Operating Agreement and the Mill Owner Maintenance Reserve Account
Agreement permit funds on deposit in the Mill Owner Maintenance Reserve Account
to be used, under certain limited circumstances, for, among other things,
operations and maintenance expenses, amounts on deposit therein, or otherwise
credited thereto, will be credited against Mobile Energy's funding obligation in
respect of the Maintenance Reserve Account.
Cash flow from operations is expected to consist almost exclusively of
payments of Demand Charges and Processing Sales by the Mill Owners for
Processing Services. Accordingly, the loss of revenues from any one Mill,
22
<PAGE>
whether due to a mill closure or otherwise, could have a material adverse impact
on Mobile Energy's financial condition.
The Energy Services Agreements and the Master Operating Agreement require
the Mill Owners to pay Demand Charges and Processing Sa;es. The Demand Charges
were designed generally to cover, among other things, Mobile Energy's projected
costs that are in the nature of fixed costs (including the payment of debt
service), assuming that certain operating performance standards are satisfied.
The Processing Charges were designed generally to cover the balance of Mobile
Energy's costs that are not projected to be covered by Demand Charges, including
variable costs such as fuel related expenses.
Under the Energy Services Agreements, the Demand Charges in effect at any
given time are due and payable on a monthly basis regardless of whether a Mill
Owner actually utilizes any or all of the Processing Services corresponding to
its dedicated Demand and are subject to automatic reduction due to a shortfall
in the provision of Processing Services by Mobile Energy that is not excused by
the Master Operating Agreement. The Processing Sales vary from month to month in
accordance with the amount of Processing Services required by, and provided to,
the Mill Owners and Mobile Energy's efficiency with regard to fuel usage. For
the quarter ended June 30, 1997, 68.8% of Mobile Energy's total operating
revenues were attributable to Demand Charges with almost all of the remainder
attributable to Processing Sales.
The Demand Charges and the Processing Sales, collectively, were designed so
as to result in Mobile Energy having net income. There can be no assurance,
however, that (i) the assumptions with respect to operating performance
standards that underlie the design of the Demand Charges and the Processing
Charges will at all times be satisfied, (ii) the Demand Charges will at all
times cover Mobile Energy's costs that are in the nature of fixed costs,
including debt service payments, (iii) the Processing Sales will at all times
cover the costs that are not covered by Demand Charges, including variable costs
such as fuel related expenses, or (iv) the payment of Demand Charges and
Processing Sales will at all times result in Mobile Energy having net income.
Mobile Energy believes that its cash flow from operations, together with
its other available sources of liquidity, will be adequate to make all required
payments of principal of and interest on its debt, to permit anticipated capital
expenditures and to fund working capital and other cash requirements for the
foreseeable future.
Funding of the Maintenance Reserve Account
The Intercreditor Agreement requires Mobile Energy to make certain deposits into
the Maintenance Reserve Account, and permits Mobile Energy to make additional,
discretionary deposits into the Maintenance Reserve Account. The amount of such
required and discretionary deposits in any given fiscal year may be greater than
the maintenance expenses actually incurred by Mobile Energy in such fiscal year.
For purposes of calculating debt service coverage ratios under Mobile Energy's
Financing Documents, deposits into the Maintenance Reserve Account and the Mill
Owner Maintenance Reserve Account are deemed to be operating expenses in the
fiscal year such deposits are made, rather than in the fiscal year funds are
withdrawn from the Maintenance Reserve Account or the Mill Owner Maintenance
Reserve Account to pay maintenance expenses. The effect of deeming such deposits
to be operating expenses in the fiscal year the deposits are made (together with
the funding provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement that may cause
or permit such deposits to be higher than actual maintenance expenses in any
given fiscal year) is to levelize debt service coverage ratios over the term of
the First Mortgage Bonds and the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
