PART I/ITEM 1.    CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The unaudited condensed financial statements contained herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. While the management of LS Power Funding Corporation ("Funding"),
LSP-Cottage Grove, L.P. ("Cottage Grove") and LSP-Whitewater Limited Partnership
("Whitewater"), (Cottage Grove and Whitewater are sometimes referred to herein
individually as a "Partnership" and collectively as the "Partnerships") believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 filed by Funding and the
Partnerships.


PART I/ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In addition to discussing and analyzing Funding's and the Partnerships'
recent historical financial results and condition, the following "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
includes statements concerning certain trends and other forward-looking
information affecting or relating to Funding and the Partnerships which are
intended to qualify for the protections afforded "Forward-Looking Statements"
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Public Law 104-67.
The forward-looking statements made herein are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties which could cause Funding's and the Partnerships' actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

         Cottage Grove is a single purpose Delaware limited partnership
established in December 1993 to develop, finance, construct and own a gas-fired
cogeneration facility located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota (the "Cottage Grove
Facility"). The 1% general partner, LSP-Cottage Grove, Inc., and the 72% limited
partner, Cogentrix Cottage Grove, LLC, are indirect subsidiaries of Cogentrix
Energy, Inc. ("Cogentrix Energy"). The other limited partner is TPC Cottage
Grove, Inc. ("TPC Cottage Grove") and is not affiliated with Cogentrix Energy.
Whitewater is a single purpose Delaware limited partnership established in
December 1993 to develop, finance, construct and own a gas-fired cogeneration
facility located in Whitewater, Wisconsin (the "Whitewater Facility", and
collectively with the Cottage Grove Facility, the "Facilities"). The 1% general
partner, LSP-Whitewater I, Inc., and the 73% limited partner, Cogentrix
Whitewater, LLC, are indirect subsidiaries of Cogentrix Energy. The other
limited partner is TPC Whitewater ("TPC Whitewater"), an affiliate of TPC
Cottage Grove that is not affiliated with Cogentrix Energy. The Partnerships
sell electric capacity and energy generated by their Facilities to two utilities
under separate long-term power purchase agreements (individually, the "Power
Purchase Agreement" and collectively, the "Power Purchase Agreements").
Whitewater sells up to 236.5 megawatts of electric capacity and associated
energy generated by the Whitewater Facility to Wisconsin Electric Power Company
("WEPCO") pursuant to a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement. Whitewater may also
sell to third parties up to 12 megawatts of electric capacity and any energy not
dispatched by WEPCO. All of the electric capacity and energy generated by the
Cottage Grove Facility is sold to Northern States Power Company ("NSP") pursuant
to a 30-year Power Purchase Agreement. The Partnerships also have long-term
steam supply agreements with steam hosts to supply thermal energy produced by
the Facilities.

         The Whitewater Facility commenced commercial operations on September
18, 1997, and the Cottage Grove Facility commenced commercial operations on
October 1, 1997. The Whitewater and Cottage Grove Power Purchase Agreements meet
the criteria of a "sales-type" capital lease as described in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." Cottage
Grove and Whitewater each recognized a gain on sales-type capital lease for the
difference between the estimated fair market value and the historical cost of
the Facilities as of the commencement of each respective Power Purchase
Agreement's terms (commencement of commercial operations). The Partnerships each
recorded a net investment in lease that reflects the present value of future
minimum lease payments. The gross investment in lease (future minimum lease
payments) represents the



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

amount of capacity payments due from the utilities under the Power Purchase
Agreements in excess of fixed operating costs (i.e. executory costs). The
difference between the undiscounted future minimum lease payments due from the
utilities and discounted future minimum lease payments represents unearned
income. This unearned income is being recognized as lease revenue over the
respective terms of the Power Purchase Agreements using the effective interest
rate method. The Partnerships will also recognize service revenue related to the
reimbursement of costs incurred in operating the Facilities and providing
electricity and thermal energy. The amount of service revenue recognized by each
Partnership will be directly related to the level of dispatch of the Facilities
by the respective utilities and to a lesser extent the level of thermal energy
required by the steam hosts.

Funding

         Funding was organized in June 1995 as a special purpose Delaware
corporation to issue debt securities in connection with financing the
construction of the Facilities. Funding's sole business activities are limited
to maintaining its organization and activities necessary pursuant to the
offering of the Senior Secured Bonds (defined below) and its acquisition of the
First Mortgage Bonds (defined below) from the Partnerships.

         The Senior Secured Bonds are the following:

                  7.19% Senior Secured Bonds Due 2010, Series A of LS Power
                  Funding Corporation

                  8.08% Senior Secured Bonds Due 2016, Series A of LS Power
                  Funding Corporation

         The First Mortgage Bonds are the following:

                  7.19% First Mortgage Bonds of LSP-Cottage Grove, L.P. Due 2010

                  8.08% First Mortgage Bonds of LSP-Cottage Grove, L.P. Due 2016

                  7.19% First Mortgage Bonds of LSP-Whitewater Limited
                  Partnership Due 2010

                  8.08% First Mortgage Bonds of LSP-Whitewater Limited
                  Partnership Due 2016

             Cottage Grove and Whitewater each own 50% of the outstanding stock
of Funding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cottage Grove

         Operating revenues increased approximately 10.6% to $12.5 million for
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $11.3 million for the third quarter of
1999. This was the result of an increase in service revenue which was partially
offset by a decrease in commodity sales. The increase in service revenue
resulted from an increase in the variable energy rate charged as a result of an
increase in natural gas prices, which was partially offset by a decrease in
megawatt hours sold to the purchasing utility. The decrease in commodity sales
resulted from a decrease in remarketed fuel sales to third party purchasers.

         Operating revenues increased approximately 6.9% to $37.0 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $34.6 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. This increase was the result of
an increase in service revenues and commodity sales. The increase in service
revenue resulted from an increase in the variable energy rate charged as a
result of an increase in natural gas prices, which was partially offset by a
decrease in megawatt hours sold to the purchasing utility. The increase in
commodity sales resulted from an increase in remarketed fuel sales to third
party purchasers.

         Operating expenses increased approximately 25.8% to $7.8 million for
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $6.2 million for the third quarter of
1999. This change was primarily the result of an increase in natural gas prices
which was partially offset by a decrease in megawatt hours sold to the
purchasing utility. The increase was further offset by a decrease in remarketed
fuel sales to third party purchasers.

         Operating expenses increased approximately 13.2% to $23.1 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $20.4 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. This change was the result of an
increase in natural gas prices. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

megawatt hours sold to the purchasing utility. Commodity sales expense increased
due to an increase in remarketed fuel sales to third party purchasers.

Whitewater

         Operating revenues increased approximately 6.8% to $14.2 million for
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $13.3 million for the third quarter of
1999. This was the result of an increase in service revenue and commodity
revenues which was partially offset by a decrease in greenhouse revenues. The
increase in service revenue resulted from an increase in the variable energy
rate charged as a result of an increase in natural gas prices, which was
partially offset by a decrease in megawatt hours sold to the purchasing utility.
The increase in commodity sales resulted from an increase in remarketed fuel
sales to third party purchasers. The decrease in greenhouse revenues resulted
from the production of a smaller crop during the third quarter of 2000 as
compared to the corresponding period of 1999.

         Operating revenues increased approximately 13.1% to $44.0 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $38.9 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. This change was the result of an
increase in service and commodity revenues. Service revenues increased as the
result of an increase in the variable energy rate charged as the result of an
increase in natural gas prices, which was partially offset by a decrease in
megawatt hours sold to the purchasing utility. The increase in commodity sales
resulted from an increase in remarketed fuel sales to third party purchasers.

         Operating expenses increased approximately 10.8% to $8.2 million for
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $7.4 million for the third quarter of
1999. This change was primarily the result of an increase in natural gas prices
which was partially offset by a decrease in megawatt hours sold to the
purchasing utility. To a lesser extent, the increase resulted from an increased
commodity sales due to an increase in remarketed fuel sales to third party
purchasers.

         Operating expenses increased approximately 23.5% to $26.3 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $21.3 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. This increase was a result of
the factors discussed above: an increase in natural gas expense and an increase
in commodity sales expense. To a lesser extent, the change was the result of
increased greenhouse expenses from the introduction of new products at the
greenhouse.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Operations and Maintenance Agreements

         Each facility is operated by its respective general partner pursuant to
operations and maintenance agreements (an "O&M Agreement", and collectively, the
"O&M Agreements") expiring in 2004. Under each O&M Agreement, the general
partners are required to provide certain services during the operation of the
Facilities. As compensation for its services, each general partner is reimbursed
under each O&M Agreement on a monthly basis for certain approved costs incurred
in connection with operating the related Facility. In addition, each general
partner will receive an annual management fee of $350,000 (subject to adjustment
each year based on specified indices). The Partnerships contract directly with
certain subcontractors for materials and services which are outside the scope of
the general partners' obligations under the O&M Agreements, including major
maintenance of the Facilities. The general partners are also subject to an
annual performance bonus or penalty depending upon each Facility's availability
relative to certain performance criteria reflecting aspects of similar criteria
contained in each Facility's Power Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the general
partners are subject to a penalty payment depending upon each Facility's ability
to produce an uninterrupted supply of thermal energy.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cottage Grove

         The principal component of operating cash flow for the nine-month
period ending September 30, 2000 was net income of $5.4 million. Total cash flow
provided by operating activities of $10.4 million and cash on hand at



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

the beginning of the period of $0.3 million were primarily used to fund $4.2
million of escrow, repay $0.5 million of first mortgage bonds payable and fund
$5.8 million of distributions to partners.

Whitewater

         The principal component of operating cash flow for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000 was net income of $8.1 million. Total cash flow
provided by operating activities of $12.6 million was primarily used to fund
$7.0 million of escrow, repay $0.6 million of first mortgage bonds payable and
fund $4.7 million of distributions to partners.

         A portion of the proceeds received by the Partnerships from the sale of
the First Mortgage Bonds were used by the Partnerships to maintain a debt
service reserve fund as required by certain financing documents. During 2000 and
1999, the Partnerships transferred the cash held in their debt service reserve
funds to Cogentrix Energy. The required funds of $6.8 million and $7.8 million
for Cottage Grove and Whitewater, respectively, are included on the respective
balance sheets as a Note Receivable from Affiliate at September 30, 2000. The
receivables are backed by an irrevocable letter of credit issued on behalf of a
subsidiary of Cogentrix Energy.

         In addition to funds received through the sale of the First Mortgage
Bonds by the Partnerships and through the equity contributions received from the
partners, each Partnership may receive on its behalf certain letters of credit
to be issued pursuant to a letter of credit facility which expires in June 2002.
Each letter of credit facility provides for letters of credit in a face amount
not to exceed $5,000,000 for Whitewater and $5,500,000 for Cottage Grove, which
may be drawn on by the respective Partnership from time to time. Such letters of
credit will satisfy certain requirements of the Partnerships under various
project agreements. Cottage Grove has issued a $500,000 letter of credit under
its letter of credit facility to secure certain obligations under their Power
Purchase Agreement.

         In order to provide for the Partnerships' working capital needs, the
Partnerships have each entered into a working capital facility. Each working
capital facility will provide for working capital loans in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $3,000,000 for each Partnership. At September 30,
2000, no amounts were outstanding under the working capital facilities.

         The Partnerships expect that payments from the utilities under the
Power Purchase Agreements will provide the substantial majority of their cash
flows. Under and subject to the terms of the Power Purchase Agreements, each
utility is obligated to purchase electric capacity made available to it and
energy that it requests from the related Partnership. For additional information
regarding NSP and WEPCO, reference is made to the respective Annual Reports
filed on Form 10-K, the Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q, proxy, and any
other filings made by NSP and WEPCO with the Commission.

         The Power Purchase Agreements are dispatchable contracts that provide
the utilities the right to suspend or reduce purchases of electricity from the
Facilities. The Power Purchase Agreements are structured such that the
Partnerships will continue to receive capacity payments during any period of
dispatch. Each Partnership is dependent on capacity payments under its Power
Purchase Agreement to meet its fixed obligations, including the payment of debt
service under each Partnership's First Mortgage Bonds (which will be Funding's
sole source of funds for payment of debt service under the Senior Secured
Bonds). Capacity payments by each of NSP and WEPCO are based on the tested
capacity and availability of the Facilities and are unaffected by levels of
dispatch. Each Facility's capacity is subject to semi-annual verification
through testing. Capacity payments are subject to reduction if a Facility is
operating at reduced or degraded capacity at the time of such test, although
each Facility is permitted a retest subject to certain retest limitations. Also,
capacity payments for each Facility are subject to rebate or reduction if the
respective Facility does not maintain certain minimum levels of availability.
Under the Cottage Grove Power Purchase Agreement, capacity payments are further
adjusted by, among other things, the capacity loss factor which is determined in
accordance with procedures jointly agreed to by Cottage Grove and NSP. The
Partnerships expect to achieve the minimum capacity and availability levels;
however, any material shortfall in tested capacity or availability over a
significant period could result in a shortage of funds to the Partnerships.

         Each Partnership presently believes that funds available from cash and
investments on hand, restricted funds, operations and letter of credit and
working capital facilities will be more than sufficient to satisfy each
Partnership's obligations as they come due, pay project debt service and make
required contributions to project reserve accounts.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         As with any power generation facility, operation of the Facilities will
involve certain risks, including the performance of a Facility below expected
levels of output or efficiency, interruptions in fuel supply, pipeline
disruptions, disruptions in the supply of thermal or electrical energy, power
shut-downs due to the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes, violation
of permit requirements (whether through operation, or change in law), operator
error, labor disputes or catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes,
explosions, floods or other similar occurrences affecting a Facility or its
power purchasers, thermal energy purchasers, fuel suppliers or fuel
transporters. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce
or eliminate revenues generated by a Facility or significantly increase the
expenses of that Facility, thereby impacting the ability of a Partnership to
make payments of the amounts necessary to fund principal of and interest on its
First Mortgage Bonds, and, consequently, Funding's ability to make payments of
principal and interest on the Senior Secured Bonds. Not all risks are insured
and the proceeds of such insurance applicable to covered risks may not be
adequate to cover a Facility's lost revenues or increased expenses. In addition,
extended unavailability under the Power Purchase Agreements, which may result
from one or more of such events, may entitle the respective power purchaser to
terminate its Power Purchase Agreement.


IMPACT OF ENERGY PRICE CHANGES, INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

         The Partnerships have attempted to mitigate the risk of increases in
fuel and transportation costs by providing contractually for matching increases
in the energy payments the Partnerships receive from the utilities purchasing
electricity generated by the Facilities. In addition, the Partnerships have
mitigated the risk of fluctuations in interest rates by arranging fixed-rate
financing.

                                    UNAUDITED


1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Information presented as of September 30, 2000 and for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, has been prepared by
LSP-Cottage Grove, L.P. (the "Partnership") without audit. In the opinion of
management, these unaudited condensed financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 2000, and the
results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

         The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. While management believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's audited financial statements included in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


2.       ORGANIZATION

         The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on
December 14, 1993 to develop, finance, construct and own a gas-fired
cogeneration facility with a design capacity of approximately 245 megawatts
located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota (the "Facility"). Construction and start-up
of the Facility was substantially completed and commercial operation commenced
October 1, 1997 (the "Commercial Operations Date"). The 1% general partner of
the Partnership is LSP-Cottage Grove, Inc., ("Cottage Grove"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cogentrix Cottage Grove, LLC, ("Cogentrix Cottage Grove").
Cogentrix Cottage Grove and TPC Cottage Grove, Inc., are the sole limited
partners of the Partnership, owning approximately 72% and 27% limited
partnership interests, respectively. The ultimate parent of Cogentrix Cottage
Grove is Cogentrix Energy, Inc. ("Cogentrix Energy"), a North Carolina
corporation.

         The Partnership holds a 50% equity ownership interest in LS Power
Funding Corporation ("Funding"), which was established on June 23, 1995 as a
special purpose funding corporation to issue debt securities (the "Senior
Secured Bonds") in connection with financing construction of the Facility and a
similar gas-fired cogeneration facility located in Whitewater, Wisconsin. On
June 30, 1995, a portion of the proceeds from the offering and sale of the
Senior Secured Bonds issued by Funding was used to purchase $155 million of
First Mortgage Bonds issued simultaneously by the Partnership.

         All of the electric capacity and energy generated by the Facility is
sold to Northern States Power Company, (the "Utility") under a 30-year power
purchase agreement (the "Power Purchase Agreement"). The thermal energy
generated by the Facility is sold in the form of steam to Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing Company (the "Steam Purchaser") under a 30-year thermal energy
sales agreement.

                                    UNAUDITED


1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Information presented as of September 30, 2000 and for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, has been prepared by
LSP-Whitewater Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") without audit. In the
opinion of management, these unaudited condensed financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 2000 and
the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

         The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. While management believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's audited financial statements included in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


2.       ORGANIZATION

         LSP-Whitewater Limited Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership
that was formed on December 14, 1993 to develop, finance, construct and own a
gas-fired cogeneration facility with a design capacity of approximately 245
megawatts located in Whitewater, Wisconsin (the "Facility"). Construction and
start-up of the Facility was substantially completed and commercial operation
commenced September 18, 1997 (the "Commercial Operations Date"). The 1% general
partner of the Partnership is LSP-Whitewater I, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Cogentrix Whitewater, LLC ("Cogentrix Whitewater"). Cogentrix Whitewater and
TPC Whitewater, Inc. are the sole limited partners of the Partnership, owning
approximately 73% and 26% limited partnership interests, respectively. The
ultimate parent of Cogentrix Whitewater is Cogentrix Energy, Inc. ("Cogentrix
Energy"), a North Carolina corporation.

         The Partnership holds a 50% equity ownership interest in LS Power
Funding Corporation ("Funding"), which was established on June 23, 1995 as a
special purpose Delaware corporation to issue debt securities (the "Senior
Secured Bonds") in connection with financing construction of the Facility and a
similar gas-fired cogeneration facility located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. On
June 30, 1995, a portion of the proceeds from the offering and sale of the
Senior Secured Bonds issued by Funding was used to purchase $177 million of
First Mortgage Bonds issued simultaneously by the Partnership.

         The Partnership sells up to 236.5 megawatts of electric capacity and
associated energy generated by the Facility to Wisconsin Electric Power Company
("WEPCO" or, as the context requires, the "Utility") pursuant to a 25-year power
purchase agreement (the "Power Purchase Agreement"). The Partnership may also
sell to third parties up to 12 megawatts of electric capacity and any energy
that is not dispatched by WEPCO. The thermal energy generated by the Facility is
provided in the form of steam to the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater under
a steam supply agreement expiring on June 30, 2005 and in the form of hot water
to a greenhouse owned by the Partnership (collectively, the "Steam Purchasers").

over the remaining term of the Power Purchase Agreement, net of executory costs,
which are considered minimum lease payments in accordance with SFAS No. 13.
