(1) 2003 includes results from the Island Facility only as the
Calgary Energy Centre had not yet reached commercial operation.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were up $2.1 million from the same period in 2004. This increase was largely a result of the 20% increase in power generation at the Island Facility. The Island Facility operated at 100% availability for the first quarter of 2005. The increased power generation reflects the increased plant capacity following the upgrade in the second quarter of 2004. Revenue from the Calgary Facility was up slightly from the first quarter of 2004 reflecting the annual price adjustment in the Tolling Agreement. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $19.7 million, up $1.9 million from the same period in 2004. The 11% increase in net earnings is due in part to benefits associated with the Island Facility upgrade, increased plant availability and lower operating and maintenance expenses at both the Calgary and Island facilities offset by an increase in depreciation expense. Interest earned through the participating loan (the "Whitby Whitby, town (1991 pop. 61,281), SE Ont., Canada, NE of Toronto, on Lake Ontario. It has a good harbor.

Power generation has increased 20% over the same quarter in 2004 largely due to the capital upgrade completed in the second quarter of 2004. The Island Facility electricity generation revenue was $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

As the loan originated in May, 2004 no comparative amounts exist in the first quarter 2004. Calgary Energy Centre The Calgary Energy Centre is a natural gas-fired combined cycle plant located in Calgary, Alberta which commenced operations on March 31, 2003. The Calgary Energy Centre has a capacity of 300 MW, consisting of 250 MW of base capacity plus 50 MW of peaking capacity. The Calgary Energy Centre generated 118,619 MWh for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and operated at 97% availability for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the plant generated 208,415 MWh and operated at 97% availability. Electricity generation revenues at the Calgary Energy Centre were $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Revenue is earned through both a fixed and variable charge payable by Calpine Energy Services Canada Partnership ("CESCP"), a wholly-owned partnership of Calpine under the terms of the long-term Tolling Agreement, where the fixed charge component represents approximately ap·prox·i·mate adj. 1.

Annual operating and maintenance and depreciation expense attributable to the Calgary Energy Centre was $2.1 million and $2.3 million respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $2.1 million and $2.1 million respectively, for the same period in 2004. Certain operating and maintenance expenses are paid by the Manager and reimbursed by the Partnership, in accordance with applicable agreements. At March 31, 2004 there was $0.4 million (March 31, 2004 - $0.9 million) due to the Manager from the Partnership in respect of such agreements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2005, the Fund had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million, down $5.2 million from the end of 2004 but up from $74 thousand at March 31, 2004. $4.0 million of the cash on hand at the end of 2004 was used to complete the financing of the capital upgrade of the Island Facility. The Fund generated cash from operating activities of $12.8 million compared to $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2004. Cash used in financing activities of the Fund for the quarter totaled $19.1 million including $15.1 million to fund distributions and $4.0 million loaned to the Partnership. The Fund received $4.1 million in principal and interest payments in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from the Manager on the Manager Loan issued as part of the King City Transaction. During the first quarter of 2005, the Fund repaid $4.0 million on the credit facility using principal repayments on the Partnership loan as well as cash received on the Manager Loan in excess of distribution requirements.

Adj. 1. undrawn - not represented in a drawing undelineated - not represented accurately or precisely credit amount of $26.0 million available to finance working capital. In addition, the Fund has the full $90.0 million acquisition facility available. The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $23.8 million at March 31, 2005. The Partnership generated cash from operations of $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2004. The cash generated in 2004 was higher due to increased cash from non-cash working capital as the Partnership collected $8.4 million in receivable balances which related to the previous year. All amounts in 2005 are current. This decrease in non-cash working capital from 2004 was offset in part by the additional interest of $1.8 million paid in 2005 compared to 2004 on the Whitby Loan. The Partnership received $2.5 million (Q1 2004 - $750 thousand) from CCWHC in satisfaction of interest on the Whitby Loan. Cash from financing activities of the Partnership included $4.0 million received in January 2005 to finance the balance of capital expenditures associated with the Island Facility upgrade net of $2.2 million repaid during the quarter as a result of increased cash flow from the Island Facility. At March 31, 2005, an unsegregated cash reserve of $12.4 million (March 31, 2004 - $5.6 million) has been accumulated ac·cu·mu·late v. ac·cu·mu·lat·ed, ac·cu·mu·lat·ing, ac·cu·mu·lates v.tr.

The next major maintenance for the Island Facility is expected to occur in two years. The Calgary Energy Centre is scheduled to have its next inspection in October October: see month. of this year. The Partnership used $54 thousand for capital expenditures throughout the quarter. Contractual Obligations Both the Fund and Partnership will be required to remove generation facilities at the end of their useful lives and restore the plant sites to their original condition.

Firms must recognize the ARO liability in the period it was acquired, generally acquisition. remains unchanged from 2004. The Calgary Energy Centre and the Island Facility are each required to make payments for annual plant maintenance in accordance with applicable LTSA's. Amounts paid in accordance with these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $269 thousand (Q1 2004 - $325 thousand) for the Calgary Energy Centre and $194 thousand (Q1 2004 - $204 thousand) for the Island Facility. Future commitments relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the LTSA's have a significant variable portion that cannot be reasonably estimated. Currently the variable portion of the Island LTSA is offset with the Settlement Agreement with Alstom. As a result, the Island Facility will not be required to make significant cash payments relating to equivalent operating hour ("EOH EOH Environmental & Occupational Health EOH Engineering Open House EOH End of Hole (drill and bore holes) EOH Eye of Horus (gaming clan) EOH Equivalent Operating Hours ") charges under the Island LTSA for approximately seven to eight years. Calgary's LTSA payments are due in US dollars and are payable at certain EOH hurdles. The Fund has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Distributable Cash generated by the Fund totaled $15.2 million or $0.2454 per Trust Unit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $12.3 million or $0.2370 per unit in for the same period in 2004. $2.7 million of this increase is from the King City Transaction which closed in the second quarter of 2004 with the remaining increase attributable to increased cash distributions from the Partnership. The Fund pays monthly cash distributions to Unitholders on or about the 20th day of each month following the record date, which is the last business day of the preceding month. The Fund, through its indirect 70% ownership of the Partnership, received $0.0798 of Distributable Cash per Class A Priority Unit per month (in addition to certain management and administrative expenses incurred directly by the Fund) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, up from $0.079 per month in 2004. The working capital change of $4.0 million for 2005 includes $3.1 million of accrued interest payable on the third party King City loan. Interest is payable annually and will be serviced from the annual lease receipts which will not be recognized in cash from operations until paid. Lease payments are due annually on December 31. In 2004, the Fund established a Distribution Levelization Reserve ("the Levelized Reserve"), the purpose of which is to levelize, over the long-term, the distributions paid by the Fund to Unitholders in respect of the King City acquisition, so as to enable the Fund to provide a level cash stream to the Unitholders. Total undistributed Adj. 1. undistributed - (of investments) not distributed among a variety of securities undiversified - not diversified cash at March 31, 2005 was $11.2 million. The CCT Trustees intend to annually increase or decrease this reserve with long-term consideration given to the expected cash from both the King City Facility and Manager Loan and future distribution requirements to Unitholders. Cash generated by the King City Transaction and other Fund investments is expected to exceed cash distributions anticipated to be paid on the Trust Units until 2014 and, as a result, the Levelized Reserve is expected to increase until that time.

The amount of Distributable Cash, as defined in the Calpine Power, L.P. Partnership Agreement, is to be distributed monthly and is based generally on the amount by which the Partnership's cash on hand exceeds: (i) management and administration expenses of the Partnership; (ii) amounts required for the business and operations of the Partnership and its Facilities (including expenses payable to the Manager under the O&M Agreements); and (iii) any cash reserve which the Board of Directors of the Manager in its discretion has determined is necessary to satisfy the Partnership's current and anticipated obligations, including an annual reserve for the average estimated major maintenance expenditures. The Partnership distributes Distributable Cash of the Partnership in respect of each month to the partners of record on the last day of each month based on the priority rights of the partnership units. Payments are made on or about the 20th day after each record date. The Partnership makes monthly cash distributions to both the Class A Priority Unitholders and Class B Subordinated Unitholders. The Fund, as the holder of Class A Priority Units in the Partnership, must be paid before the Manager receives distributions on its Class B Subordinated Units. In addition, the Partnership makes a special distribution to the Class A Priority Unitholders, before distributions are made on the Class B Subordinated Units, equivalent to the amount of certain general and administrative expense of the Fund. The Class B Subordinated Units represent a 30% economic interest in the Island Facility, the Calgary Energy Centre and the Whitby Loan and their entitlement An individual's right to receive a value or benefit provided by law. Commonly recognized entitlements are benefits, such as those provided by Social Security or Workers' Compensation. to distributions is subordinated to that of Class A Priority Unitholders until 2022. The target distribution per Class A Priority Unit and Class B Subordinated Unit increases annually by 1%. The Partnership has established a maintenance reserve, the purpose of which is to partially fund future maintenance costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $1.8 million (Q1 2004 - nil) was contributed to the reserve and $0.5 million (Q1 2004 - $3.8 million) was withdrawn to fund maintenance costs. The funds in the reserve are invested in liquid securities. Interest income of $57 thousand (Q1 2004 - $19 thousand) was earned on the maintenance reserve during the first quarter 2005. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2003 $ 9,288 Contributions 6,476 Withdrawals (4,862) Income reinvested 126 Foreign exchange loss on US dollars (104) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2004 10,924 Contributions 1,834 Withdrawals (463) Income reinvested 57 Foreign exchange loss on US dollars 29 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at March 31, 2005 $ 12,381 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Partnership declared a cash distribution of $5.9 million for the period from March 1 to March 31, 2005. The cash distribution was paid on April 20, 2005 to the Class A Priority and Class B Subordinated Unitholders of record on March 31, 2005. The Partnership also declared a cash distribution of $5.9 million for April 2005. This cash distribution will be paid on May 20, 2005 to Unitholders of record on April 29, 2005. RESTRICTED CASH RESERVES Cash reserves See: Cash investments cash reserves Investment funds that are held in short-term assets such as Treasury bills and certificates of deposit until more permanent investment opportunities are available. Calpine Power Income Fund As part of the King City Transaction in 2004, the Fund deposited US$4.6 million of the funds received from the offering into a segregated account. This cash amount and related interest earned will be used to partially satisfy its obligations on the King City Loan. It is expected that US$3.9 million of this reserve will be used in December 2005 with the balance to be used in 2006. TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS For Canadian tax purposes, the taxable amount of distributions to the Fund's Unitholders was 20% for 2004 up from 1.89% in 2003. The remaining amount of the distributions reduce the adjusted cost base of the Trust Units, thereby providing a tax deferral tax deferral The delay of a tax liability until a future date. For example, an IRA may result in a tax deferral on the amount contributed to the IRA and on any income earned on funds in the IRA until withdrawals are made. for the Unitholders. As a result, in 2004, 80% of the distributions to Unitholders were a return of capital rather than an allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place. In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as of income. The tax deferral arises primarily due to the ability of the Partnership to shelter A general term used in statutes that relates to the provision of food, clothing, and housing for specified individuals; a home with a proper environment that affords protection from the weather. its taxable income Under the federal tax law, gross income reduced by adjustments and allowable deductions. It is the income against which tax rates are applied to compute an individual or entity's tax liability.

The Manager anticipates that the taxable amount of distributions in 2005 will continue to be 20%. Thereafter it is anticipated that a higher proportion of cash distributions made by the Fund will be included in the income of the Unitholders for income tax purposes. Further, Fund acquisitions could serve to extend or reduce the tax-deferred tax-de·ferred adj. 1.

The Fund recommends that Unitholders consult their tax advisors A tax advisor is a financial expert especially trained in tax law. Some countries require tax advisors to verify the balance sheets of companies above a certain size. Individuals usually require tax advisors to minimize taxation, to avoid learning the details of tax law in regarding the tax implications of their investment in Trust Units. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Preparation of both the Fund and Partnership's financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. For the Fund, amounts recorded for finance income, depreciation and the provision for asset retirement obligations are based on estimates. With respect to the Partnership, amounts recorded for depreciation and the provision for asset retirement obligations are based on estimates. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in these estimates may impact the consolidated financial statements of future periods. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2003, the CICA CICA Competition In Contracting Act of 1984 (USA) CICA Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants CICA Competition In Contracting Act CICA Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (UK) issued new Accounting Guideline guideline Medtalk A series of recommendations by a body of experts in a particular discipline. See Cancer screening guidelines, Cardiac profile guidelines, Gatekeeper guidelines, Harvard guidelines, Transfusion guidelines. AcG-15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, effective for fiscal years and periods starting on or after November November: see month. 1, 2004. AcG-15 presents indications on the application of consolidation principles to certain entities that are subject to control on a basis other than the ownership of voting interests Voting interest in business and accounting is a percentage of voting stock owned. This notion is different from economic interest that refers to a percentage of all the equity issued, including preferred stock, warrants, and so on. . The Fund and Partnership have adopted this guideline and there was no impact to the financial statements. FORECASTS Forecasts of the Fund and the Partnership for the twelve months ending March 31, 2005 were prepared and included in the prospectus A document, notice, circular, advertisement, letter, or communication in written form or by radio or television that offers any security for sale, or confirms the sale of any security. issued in respect of the public offering of Trust Units in connection with the acquisition of the King City Facility.

Advantageous; helpful: favorable winds. 2.

The additional future income tax expense is caused by unrealized foreign exchange gains on the net investment in lease, recorded in a US subsidiary of the Fund, which were not forecasted. These foreign exchange gains were eliminated upon translation of the US subsidiaries financial statements to Canadian dollars. OUTLOOK The Fund's main goal continues to be to provide stable and sustainable cash distributions to its Unitholders. Management expects this will be done by its ongoing commitment to operational excellence at its facilities, by enhancing operations to increase cash from operations and by reducing the overall risk profile of our assets by making accretive acquisitions Accretive Acquisition An acquisition that will increase the acquiring company's EPS. Notes: As they are expected to increase the acquiring company's future earnings, these acquisitions tend to be favorable for the company's market price. of high quality assets.

See Synonyms at isolate. 2. the Fund from commodity price risk while allowing the Fund to focus on reducing operating and maintenance expenses, the benefits of which we expect will increase net earnings and cash flow. The Fund benefits from the Calgary Energy Centre Tolling Agreement and therefore does not have power or gas price market exposure in Alberta, where electricity prices continue to be quite low. Capital expenditures for 2005 are expected to be approximately $0.6 million, which will be financed from cash flow from operations Cash flow from operations A firm's net cash inflow resulting directly from its regular operations (disregarding extraordinary items such as the sale of fixed assets or transaction costs associated with issuing securities), calculated as the sum of net income plus noncash expenses . The major maintenance reserve is expected to increase by a further $1.0 million in 2005. Management expects to make cash distributions to our Unitholders of at least $0.818 per month per Trust Unit for the remainder of 2005 and anticipates to end the year with a strong balance sheet and cash reserves. BUSINESS RISKS The Fund continues to monitor its business risks including its exposure to contract non-performance. The Funds credit exposure, most notably in the collection of both the monthly toll received on the Calgary Energy Centre availability and the repayment Repayment The act of paying back a debt. Notes: Everyone has to repay their debts eventually. See also: Debt, Defeasance, Loan of the Manager Loan from Calpine Corporation, is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Calpine Corporation's recent public statement confirmed it was in compliance with its corporate and project indentures and continued to move forward on its financial program focused on reducing corporate debt and enhancing liquidity. The Fund received all payments due from Calpine Corporation on time and in full. Additional information on risks may be found in the Management Discussion and Analysis in the 2004 annual report.
