(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. Management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2003.
The preparation of unaudited financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires Funding Corp. to

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. The financial information
herein presented reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for interim periods presented. The results for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
full year.

COSO FINANCE PARTNERS

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) Organization and Operation
Coso Finance Partners (CFP), a general partnership, is engaged in the operation
of a 80 MW power generation facility located at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons
Station, China Lake California. CFP sells all electricity produced to Southern
California Edison (Edison) under a 24-year power purchase contract expiring in
2011.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. Management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2003.
The preparation of unaudited financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires CFP to make certain
estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial
statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. The financial information herein
presented reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for interim periods presented. The results for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
full year. CFP has experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating
results and it expects that these fluctuations in energy revenues, expenses and
net income will continue.
The data for the balance sheets presented herein for March 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003 were derived from CFP's financial statements for the interim period and
fiscal year then ended and includes the effect of consolidating New CLPSI
Company, LLC ("CLPSI"), but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
The consolidated financial statements of CFP include the accounts of CPLSI, as a
result of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 46. ("FIN 46") (Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities),
an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 required
certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary
of the entity even though the equity investors do not have the characteristics
of a controlling financial interest, or do not have sufficient equity at risk
for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46
(R), which clarified and replaced FIN 46 that required all variable interest
entities, regardless of when they were created to be evaluated under Fin 46 (R)
no later than the period ending March 15, 2004. An entity shall be subject to
consolidation according to the provisions of this Interpretation if, by design,
the following conditions exist. As a group, the holders of the equity investment
at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics of a controlling
financial interest: (1) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about
an entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights; (2) the
obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur; or (3) the
right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. CFP
believes that CLPSI, the entity that holds the inventory for Coso Power
Developers, Coso Energy Developer and CFP is a variable interest entity and
under FIN 46 (R) should be consolidated. The inventory, related physical assets,
and payables will be recorded as CFP's assets and liabilities. The impact to
CFP's future statement of operations will be increased depreciation, partially
offset by other income.
11
The consolidated financial statements related to prior periods have been
restated to consolidate the accounts of CLPSI as a direct result of the adoption
of FIN 46 (R). There was no cumulative effect recorded upon the adoption of the
Interpretation.
(4) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for electricity
delivered and sold under a power purchase contract. Operating revenues are
recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to
Edison.
(5) Reclassifications
Certain balances in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation adopted in the current year.

Coso Power Developers (CPD), a general partnership, is engaged in the operation
of a 80 MW power generation facility located at the Coso Hot Springs, China Lake
California. CPD sells all electricity produced to Southern California Edison
(Edison) under a 20-year power purchase contract expiring in 2010.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. Management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2003.
The preparation of unaudited financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires CPD to make certain
estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial
statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. The financial information herein
presented reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for interim periods presented. The results for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
full year. CPD has experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating
results and it expects that these fluctuations in energy revenues, expenses and
net income will continue.
The data for the balance sheets presented herein for March 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003 were derived from CPD's financial statements for the interim period and
fiscal year then ended and includes the effect of consolidating Coso
Transmission Line Partners ("CTLP"), but does not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
The consolidated financial statements of CPD include the accounts of CTLP, as a
result of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 46. ("FIN 46") (Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities),
an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 required
certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary
of the entity even though the equity investors do not have the characteristics
of a controlling financial interest, or do not have sufficient equity at risk
for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46
(R), which clarified and replaced FIN 46 that required all variable interest
entities, regardless of when they were created to be evaluated under Fin 46 (R)
no later than the period ending March 15, 2004. An entity shall be subject to
consolidation according to the provisions of this Interpretation if, by design,
the following conditions exist. As a group, the holders of the equity investment
at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics of a controlling
financial interest: (1) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about
an entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights; (2) the
obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur; or (3) the
right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. CPD
believes that CTLP, the entity that holds additional transmission equipment for
Coso Energy Developers and CPD is a variable interest entity and under FIN 46
(R) should be consolidated. The additional transmission equipment will be
recorded as CPD's assets. The impact to CPD's future statement of operations
will be increased depreciation, partially offset by other income.
20
The consolidated financial statements related to prior periods have been
restated to consolidate the accounts of CTLP as a direct result of the adoption
of FIN 46 (R). There was no cumulative effect recorded upon the adoption of the
Interpretation.
(4) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for electricity
delivered and sold under a power purchase contract. Operating revenues are
recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to
Edison.
(5) Reclassifications
Certain balances in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation adopted in the current year.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Except for financial information contained herein, the matters discussed in
this quarterly report may be considered forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and subject to the safe
harbor created by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
include declarations regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of
Caithness Coso Funding Corp. ("Funding Corp."), Coso Finance Partners and
Subsidiary ("the Navy I Partnership"), Coso Energy Developers ("the BLM
Partnership"), and Coso Power Developers and Subsidiary ("the Navy II
Partnership"), collectively, (the "Coso Partnerships") and their respective
management. Such statements may be identified by terms such as expected,
anticipated, may, will, believe or other terms or variations of such words. Any
such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties; actual results could differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Among the
important factors that could cause future operating results to differ materially
from those anticipated include, but are not limited to: (i) risks relating to
the uncertainties in the California energy market, (ii) the financial viability
of Southern California Edison, ("Edison"), (iii) risks related to the operation
of power plants (iv) the impact of avoided cost pricing along with other pricing
variables, (v) general operating risks, including resource availability and
regulatory oversight, (vi) changes in government regulation, (vii) the effects
of competition and (viii) the alleged manipulation of the California energy
market.
21
General
Each Coso Partnership owns an 80MW geothermal power plant, and its
respective transmission lines, wells, gathering systems and other related
facilities. The Coso Partnerships are located near one another at the United
States Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake, California. The Navy I
Partnership owns Navy I and its related facilities. The BLM Partnership owns BLM
and its related facilities. The Navy II Partnership owns Navy II and its related
facilities.
Each Coso partnership sells 100% of the electrical energy generated at its
plant to Edison under a long-term Standard Offer No.4 power purchase agreement.
Each power purchase agreement expires after the final maturity date of the 9.05%
Series B Senior Secured Notes issued by Funding Corp.
Each Coso partnership is entitled to the following payments under its power
purchase agreement:
* Capacity payments for being able to produce electricity at certain levels.
Capacity payments are fixed throughout the life of each power purchase
agreement;
* Capacity bonus payments if the Coso partnership is able to produce
electricity above a specified level. The maximum annual capacity bonus
payment available is also fixed throughout the life of each power purchase
agreement; and
* Energy payments which are based on the amount of electricity the Coso
Partnership's plant actually produces.
Energy payments were fixed for the first ten years of firm operation under
each power purchase agreement. After the first ten years of firm operation and
until January 1, 2002, Edison made energy payments to the Coso Partnerships
based on its avoided cost of energy. Edison's avoided cost of energy is Edison's
cost to generate electricity if Edison were to produce it itself or buy it from
another power producer rather than buy it from the Coso Partnerships. The fixed
energy price period expired in August 1997 for the Navy I Partnership, in March
1999 for the BLM Partnership and in January 2000 for the Navy II Partnership.
Edison entered into an agreement ("Agreement") with the Coso Partnerships
on June 19, 2001 that addressed renewable energy pricing and issues concerning
California's energy crisis. The Agreement, which was amended on November 30,
2001, established May 1, 2002 as the date the Coso Partnerships began receiving
a fixed energy rate of 5.37 cents per kWh for five (5) years in lieu of the rate
calculated based on the avoided cost of energy. This Agreement was challenged in
the federal courts. After the California State Supreme Court found that no state
laws were violated, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
(Ninth Circuit) affirmed the initial judgment. As a result, of the Ninth
Circuit's decision, the Agreements remain in full force and effect.
After the five year period expires in April 2007, Edison will be required
to make energy payments to the Coso Partnerships based on its avoided cost of
energy until each partnership's power purchase agreement expires. The power
purchase agreement for the Navy I Partnership will expire in August 2011, the
power purchase agreement for the BLM Partnership will expire in March 2019, and
the power purchase agreement for the Navy II Partnership will expire in January
2010. Estimates of Edison's future avoided cost of energy may vary significantly
and it is not possible to predict with accuracy the likely level of future
avoided cost of energy prices.
In 1994, the Coso Partnerships implemented a steam-sharing program, under
the Coso Geothermal Exchange Agreement. The purpose of the steam-sharing program
is to enhance the management of the Coso geothermal resource and to optimize the
resource's overall benefits to the Coso Partnerships by transferring steam among
the Coso Partnerships. Under the steam sharing program, the partnership
receiving the steam transfer splits revenue earned from electricity generated
with the partnership that transferred the steam.
22
The Coso Partnerships are required to make royalty payments to the U.S.
Navy and the Bureau of Land Management. The Navy I Partnership pays a royalty
for Unit I through reimbursement of electricity supplied to the U.S. Navy by
Edison from electricity generated at the Navy I plant. The reimbursement is
based on a pricing formula that is included in the U.S. Navy Contract as
amended. This formula is primarily based on the tariff rates charged by Edison,
which were increased in 2001 by the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC), and is subject to future revision. On July 10, 2003, the CPUC adopted a
settlement between Edison and other parties to lower retail electric rates
effective as of August 1, 2003. These rates are in effect for one year, after
which new rates will be established in accordance with CPUC guidelines. Indices
utilized in the calculation of the royalties under the Navy I Partnership Unit 1
contract remained unchanged historically based on an agreement between the U.S.
Navy and the Navy I Partnership. In November 2001 and October 2002,
modifications to the calculation of the reimbursement pricing formula were made
to the U.S. Navy Contract. The parties have currently agreed to a replacement
index and true-up calculation in favor of the Navy I Partnership. For Units 2
and 3, the Navy I Partnership's royalty expense paid to the U.S. Navy is a fixed
percentage of electricity sales which was 15% of revenue received by the Navy I
Partnership through 2003 and increased to 20% for 2004 through 2009. In
addition, the Navy I Partnership is required to pay the U.S. Navy $25.0 million
in December 2009, the date its contract expires. The payment is secured by funds
placed on deposit monthly, which funds plus accrued interest are anticipated to
aggregate $25.0 million by the expiration date of the contract. Currently, the
monthly amount deposited is approximately $111.0 million. The BLM Partnerships
geothermal lease initially had a term of ten years ending in 1998 and
subsequently has an automatic extension until October 31, 2035, so long as
geothermal steam is commercially produced resulting in a 10% royalty to the
Bureau of Land Management based on the net value of steam produced. The Navy II
partnership pays a royalty to the U.S. Navy based on a fixed percentage of
electricity sales to Edison. The royalty rate was 10% of electricity sales
through 1999, and increased to 18% for 2000 through 2004 and will increase to
20% from 2005 through 2010. The Coso Partnerships also pay other royalties, at
various rates which in the aggregate are not material.
Funding Corp is a special purpose corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Coso Partnerships. It was formed for the purpose of issuing the senior
secured notes (Notes) on behalf of the Coso Partnerships who have jointly,
severally, and unconditionally guaranteed repayment of the Notes.
On May 28, 1999, Funding Corp. issued $110.0 million of 6.80% Notes that
were due in 2001, and were paid off on December 15, 2001, and $303.0 million of
9.05% Notes due in 2009. The proceeds from the Notes were loaned to the Coso
Partnerships and are payable to Funding Corp from payments of principal and
interest on the Notes. Funding Corp. does not conduct any other operations apart
from serving as the issuer of the Notes.
Under the depository agreement with the trustee for the Notes, the Coso
Partnerships established accounts with a depository and pledged those accounts
as security for the benefit of the holders of the Notes. All amounts deposited
with the depository are, at the direction of the Coso Partnerships, invested by
the depository in permitted investments. All revenues or other proceeds actually
received by the Coso Partnerships are deposited in a revenue account and
withdrawn upon receipt by the depository of a certificate from the relevant Coso
Partnerships detailing the amounts to be paid from funds in its respective
revenue account.
23
Edison filed a petition for a writ of review of a January 2001 CPUC
decision, claiming that the "floor" line loss factor of 0.95 for renewable
generators violated the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).
Subsequently, the California Court of Appeals issued a decision on August 20,
2002 in response to the writs affirming the January 2001 CPUC decision, except
for the 0.95 "floor", which it rejected as an abuse of discretion by the CPUC.
While this matter was appealed to the California Supreme Court, the petition for
review was denied. The Coso Partnerships are currently evaluating potential
actions to redress this issue. Their Agreements set the line loss factor at 1.0
for all energy sold between May 2002 through April 2007. After April 2007, the
Coso Partnerships will have a line loss factor of less than 1.0, effectively
decreasing revenues if Edison's challenge to the CPUC ruling stands.
The Coso Partnerships cannot predict whether any subsequent action
regarding this matter will be successful.
Capacity Utilization
For purposes of consistency in financial presentation, the plant capacity
factor for each of the Coso Partnerships is based on a nominal capacity amount
of 80MW (240MW in the aggregate). The Coso Partnerships have a gross operating
capacity that allows for the production of electricity in excess of their
nominal capacity amounts. Utilization of this operating margin is based upon a
number of factors and can be expected to vary throughout the year under normal
operating conditions.
The following data includes the operating capacity factor, capacity and
electricity production (in kWh) for each Coso Partnership on a stand-alone
basis:
Three-Months Ended
March 31
2004 2003
---- ----
Navy I Partnership (stand alone)
Operating capacity factor 104.3% 100.5%
Capacity (MW) (average) 83.40 80.42

Operating capacity factor 109.7% 98.3%
Capacity (MW) (average) 87.77 78.61
kWh produced (000s) 189,580 169,795
Total energy production for the Coso Partnerships increased for the
three-months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, due to
the success of the effort to increase production overall through well
maintenance and capital improvements, including the enhancement of existing
production wells and additional steam-field piping modifications. The Coso
Partnerships expect to further enhance the steam utilization and efficiency of
the projects through a turbine enhancement program and additional steam-field
piping modifications. With respect to the reservoir, an injection augmentation
program, aimed at improving reservoir pressure and minimizing resource decline,
is currently in the engineering design phase. The funds necessary to implement
the capital improvement program are available from reserves established under
the Notes and from excess cash flow generated after debt service.
24
Results of Operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003
The following discusses the results of operations of the Coso Partnerships
for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (dollar amounts in tables are
in thousands, except per kWh data):
Revenue

BLM Partnership 9,099 5.9 9,334 6.1
Navy II Partnership 9,656 5.1 8,512 5.0
The Coso Partnerships sell all electricity generated to Edison under their
respective power purchase agreement. Total operating revenues consist of
capacity payments, capacity bonus payments, and energy payments, including steam
transfers discussed above.
Total operating revenues for the Navy I and Navy II Partnerships increased
for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003
primarily due to the increase in production, discussed above. The BLM
Partnership's increase in energy revenues resulting from the increase in
production, was offset by their increase in steam transfers.

Navy II Partnership 2,745 1.4 2,374 1.3
Plant operating expense consists of labor and related expenses, supplies
and maintenance, property taxes, insurance, workovers and administrative
expense. The increase in plant operating expense for the Coso Partnerships for
the three-months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003,
was primarily due to increased well workovers in 2004 to assist in remediating
the decline in steam production, discussed above.

Royalty expense for the Navy I Partnership decreased for the three-months
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to a
decrease in Unit 1 royalty, resulting from reduced tariff rates charged by
Edison. The decrease was partially offset by increased royalties from Units 2
and 3 resulting from the scheduled increase in royalty rate discussed above.
Royalty expense for the BLM Partnership decreased for the three-months ended
March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, due to the current year
reconciliation performed under the netback royalty calculation. Royalty expense
for the Navy II Partnership increased for the three-months ended March 31, 2004
as compared to the same period in 2003 due to the increase in production
discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the Coso Partnerships decreased for the
three-months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, due to
older wells and plant overhauls being fully depreciated during 2003. The
decrease for the Navy I Partnership was offset by an increase in capitalized
assets associated with the new well placed in service in 2003.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income for the Coso Partnerships decreased for the
three-months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, due to
a decrease in the rate of return on investments due to lower market rates for
fixed income investments during that period in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the Coso Partnerships decreased for the three-months
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, due to the
reduction in the principal amount of the project loan from Funding Corp.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Each of the Navy I Partnership, the BLM Partnership and the Navy II
Partnership derive substantially all of their cash flow from Edison under their
power purchase agreements and from interest income earned on funds on deposit.
The Coso Partnerships have used their cash primarily for capital expenditures
for power plant improvements, resource and operating costs, distributions to
partners and payments with respect to the project loan.
26
The Coso Partnerships cash flow obligations over the next several years
consist of debt service payments to Funding Corp., as they come due under the
Funding Corp. senior secured notes (Notes). The Coso Partnerships expect to be
able to meet these obligations from operating cash flow. Historically, any
excess cash after debt service has either been reserved for capital improvements
or distributed to the partners.
The Coso Partnerships ability to meet their obligations as they come due
will depend upon the ability of Edison to meet its obligations under the terms
of the standard offer No. 4 power purchase agreements and the Coso Partnerships'
ability to continue to generate electricity. Edison's shortfall in collections,
coupled with its near term capital requirements, materially and adversely
affected its liquidity during 2000 and 2001. In resolution of that issue, Edison
settled with the CPUC on October 2, 2001, enabling it to recover in retail
electric rates its historical shortfall in electric purchase costs. On September
23, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an
opinion and order on appeal from the district court's stipulated judgment which
affirmed the stipulated judgment in part and referred questions based on
California state law to the Supreme Court of California. The appeals court
stated that if the Agreement violated California state law then the appeals
court would be required to void the stipulated judgment. California Supreme
Court has accepted the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals request to address the
issues referred to it in the September 23, 2002 ruling. The California Supreme
Court found that the stipulated judgment did not violate state laws.
Consequently, the Agreement remains in full force and effect and it is unknown
if any additional appeals are planned. Immediately after this settlement, Edison
and each of the Coso Partnerships entered into an amendment of their respective
Agreement (referenced above) pertaining to past due obligations. The Agreement,
as amended, was approved by CPUC in January of 2002, and established the fixed
energy rates discussed above and set payment terms for the past due amounts owed
to the Coso Partnerships by Edison. Edison's failure to pay its future
obligations may have a material adverse effect on the Coso Partnerships ability
to make debt service payments to Funding Corp., as they come due under the
Notes.
Net cash from operating activities for the Navy I Partnership increased for
the three-months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003,
primarily due to increased net income and trade payables during 2004. Net cash
from operating activities for the BLM Partnership decreased for the three-months
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to
decreased trade payables during 2004. Net cash used in investing activities for
the Coso Partnerships decreased for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to the same period in 2003, due to reduced capital expenditures and
lower restricted cash requirements associated with the Notes during 2004.
Item 3. Control and Procedures
The Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the
Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2004,
that the design and operation of the Registrant's "disclosure controls and
procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports filed or submitted by
the Registrant under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed,
summarized and reported to the Registrant's management, including the
Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding whether or not disclosure is
required.
27
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, there were no changes in the
Registrant's "internal controls over financial reporting" (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal controls over
financial reporting.

COSO PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED
CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements were
derived from the stand alone unaudited financial statements of Caithness Coso
Funding Corp., Coso Finance Partners and Subsidiary, Coso Energy Developers and
Coso Power Developers and Subsidiary ("the Coso Partnerships"). All intercompany
accounts and transactions were eliminated. This financial information has been
provided to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the financial
position, operating results and cash flows of the Coso Partnerships as a whole.
The unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with each individual Partnership's unaudited financial statements.
The preparation of unaudited financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Coso
Partnerships to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods
covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The
financial information herein presented reflects all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods presented. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year. The Coso Partnerships have experienced significant
quarterly fluctuations in operating results and it expects that these
fluctuations in energy revenues, expenses and net income will continue.
The data for the balance sheets presented herein for March 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003 were derived from the Coso Partnership's financial statements for the
interim period and fiscal year then ended and includes the effect of
consolidating New CLPSI Company, LLC ("CLPSI") and Coso Transmission Line
Partners ("CTLP"), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
The consolidated financial statements of the Coso Partnerships include the
accounts of CPLSI and CTLP, as a result of the adoption of Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46. ("FIN 46") (Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51. FIN 46 required certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by
the primary beneficiary of the entity even though the equity investors do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In December 2003,
the FASB issued FIN 46 (R), which clarified and replaced FIN 46 that required
all variable interest entities, regardless of when they were created to be
evaluated under Fin 46 (R) no later than the period ending March 15, 2004. An
entity shall be subject to consolidation according to the provisions of this
Interpretation if, by design, the following conditions exist. As a group, the
holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three
characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) the direct or indirect
ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting rights or
similar rights; (2) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity
if they occur; or (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the
entity if they occur. The Coso Partnerships believe that CLPSI and CTLP, the
entities that holds the inventory and transmission assets are variable interest
entities and under FIN 46 (R) should be consolidated. The inventory, related
physical assets, and payables will be recorded as the Coso Partnership's assets
and liabilities. The impact to the Coso Partnership's future statement of
operations will be increased depreciation, partially offset by other income.
32
The consolidated financial statements related to prior periods have been
restated to consolidate the accounts of CLPSI and CTLP as a direct result of the
adoption of FIN 46 (R). There was no cumulative effect recorded upon the
adoption of the Interpretation.
(3) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from Edison for electricity
delivered and sold under a power purchase contract. Operating revenues are
recognized as income during the period in which electricity is delivered to
Edison.
(4) Reclassifications
Certain balances in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation adopted in the current year.
