PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                          JCP&L TRANSITION FUNDING LLC

                       MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Issuance of Transition Bonds
----------------------------

           In accordance with the Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act
enacted in New Jersey in February 1999, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities
(NJBPU) is authorized to issue "bondable stranded cost rate orders," approving,
among other things, the issuance of transition bonds to recover bondable
stranded costs and related expenses of an electric public utility. On February
6, 2002, Jersey Central Power & Light Company (JCP&L) received a bondable
stranded costs rate order (Financing Order) from the NJBPU with authorization to
issue $320 million of transition bonds to securitize the recovery of bondable
stranded costs associated with the previously divested Oyster Creek Nuclear
Generating Facility.

           In February 2000, JCP&L Transition Funding LLC (Company), a Delaware
limited liability company, was organized for the limited purpose of purchasing
bondable transition property (BTP) and issuing transition bonds secured by the
BTP. The Company is wholly-owned by JCP&L. The Company's organizational
documents require it to operate in a manner so that it should not be
consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of JCP&L in the event JCP&L becomes
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.

           BTP represents the irrevocable right of JCP&L, or its successor or
assignee, to charge, collect and receive a non-bypassable transition bond charge
(TBC) from customers. The Financing Order authorizes the TBC collections to be
sufficient to recover $320 million aggregate principal amount of transition
bonds, plus an amount sufficient to provide for any credit enhancement, to fund
any reserves and to pay interest (including financing costs), redemption
premiums, if any, servicing fees and other expenses relating to the transition
bonds. In June 2002, the Company acquired BTP from JCP&L and issued $320 million
of Transition Bonds (Bonds), Series 2002-A, Class A-1 through Class A-4, with
scheduled maturities ranging from 2007 through 2017 and final maturities ranging
from 2009 through 2019.

           The Company entered into a servicing agreement with JCP&L. The
servicing agreement requires JCP&L, as Servicer, to manage and administer the
BTP of the Company and to collect the TBC on behalf of the Company. JCP&L began
remitting TBC collections to a Trustee (The Bank of New York) on July 15, 2002.
The first quarterly payment of Bond principal, interest and related expenses is
due on March 5, 2003.

Results of Operations
---------------------

           The Company did not have results of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, since as of those dates the Company had
not issued transition bonds or purchased BTP.

                          JCP&L TRANSITION FUNDING LLC

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1 -  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

           JCP&L Transition Funding LLC was established by JCP&L and certain of
its direct and indirect subsidiaries under the laws of the State of Delaware on
February 24, 2000, pursuant to a limited liability company agreement with JCP&L
Transition, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of JCP&L, as sole member of the
Company. JCP&L Transition, Inc. transferred its interest in the Company to JCP&L
effective February 19, 2002. JCP&L is a wholly owned electric utility operating
subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. JCP&L was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of
GPU, Inc., which merged with FirstEnergy Corp. on November 7, 2001. Accordingly,
the post-merger and pre-merger period financial results presented in this report
are separated by a heavy black line.

           The Company was organized for the sole purpose of purchasing and
owning BTP, issuing transition bonds to fund purchasing BTP, pledging its
interest in BTP and other collateral to the Trustee under an indenture between
the Company and the Trustee (Indenture) to collateralize the transition bonds,
and performing activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to
accomplish these purposes. BTP represents the irrevocable right of JCP&L, or its
successor or assignee, to charge, collect and receive a non-bypassable TBC from
customers pursuant to the Financing Order, which was issued on February 6, 2002
by the NJBPU in accordance with the Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act
enacted in New Jersey in February 1999. The Financing Order authorizes the TBC
collections to be sufficient to recover $320 million aggregate principal amount
of transition bonds, plus an amount sufficient to provide for any credit
enhancement, to fund any reserves and to pay interest (including financing
costs), redemption premiums, if any, servicing fees and other expenses relating
to the transition bonds.

           The Company's organizational documents require it to operate in a
manner so that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of JCP&L
in the event JCP&L becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. Both JCP&L and
the Company will treat the transfer of BTP to the Company as a sale under
applicable law, and the Bonds will be treated as debt obligations of the
Company. For financial reporting, federal income tax and State of New Jersey
income and corporation business tax purposes, the transfer of BTP to the Company
will be treated as a financing arrangement and not as a sale. Under applicable
law, the Bonds will be recourse only to the Company and will not be secured by
the assets of JCP&L.

2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           Certain information in footnote disclosures, normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, has been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenues

           Substantially all of the Company's revenues will be derived from the
TBC authorized pursuant to the Financing Order, which will be collected from
JCP&L's customers. The Company will accrue unbilled TBC revenues for electric
service provided by JCP&L through the end of the accounting period. In addition,
the Company will record investment income on amounts that will be deposited with
the Trustee; however, only earnings on the capital subaccount will be recorded
in income, as earnings on the other subaccounts must be credited to JCP&L's
customers pursuant to the Financing Order. The Company also will earn interest
on temporary cash investments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

           All temporary cash investments purchased with an initial maturity of
three months or less are reported as cash equivalents on the Balance Sheet at
cost, which approximates their fair market value.

Restricted Funds

           Amounts that will be deposited with the Trustee will be classified as
restricted funds on the Balance Sheet. See Note 4 for additional information.

Amortization of Bondable Transition Property

           The BTP will be recorded at the acquired cost and will be amortized
over the life of the Bonds, based on TBC revenue collections, interest accruals
and other fees. The BTP will be solely the property of the Company.

Deferred Financing Costs

           Certain costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds have been
paid by JCP&L and are included as deferred financing costs on the Company's
Balance Sheet. Upon issuance of the Bonds, the Company will reimburse JCP&L for
these costs, and the costs will be amortized as part of the BTP.

Income Taxes

           The Company is a single member limited liability company which is
treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes.
Accordingly, the Company's results will be included in the taxable income of
JCP&L. However, the provision or liability for income taxes related to interest
income on the capital subaccount and temporary cash investments will be included
in the Company's financial statements.

3 -  SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

           Under a servicing agreement between JCP&L and the Company, JCP&L, as
Servicer, will manage and administer the BTP of the Company and collect the TBC
on behalf of the Company. The Company will pay an annual servicing fee to JCP&L
equal to 0.125% of the initial principal balance of Bonds outstanding, or
$400,000. This servicing fee will be recovered by the Company through the TBC.
The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with GPU Service,
Inc., an affiliated company, pursuant to which GPU Service, Inc. will provide
administrative services to the Company.

4 -  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

           On June 11, 2002, the Company issued $320 million of Bonds,
consisting of four classes. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of
Bonds to fund the purchase of BTP from JCP&L. The Bonds are collateralized on a
pro-rata basis by the BTP and the equity and assets of the Company.

           Scheduled maturity and interest rates for the Bonds are as follows:

                                           Expected Final        Legal Final
Class   Interest Rate  Principal Amount    Payment Date         Maturity Date
-----   -------------  ----------------    --------------       -------------
                        (In Thousands)
 A-1...    4.19%          $   91,111      December 5, 2007     December 5, 2009
 A-2...    5.39%              52,297      September 5, 2010    September 5, 2012
 A-3...    5.81%              77,075      December 5, 2013     December 5, 2015
 A-4...    6.16%              99,517      June 5, 2017         June 5, 2019
                          ----------
                          $  320,000
                          ==========

           The expected final payment date for each class of Bonds is the date
on which there is expected to be no further outstanding principal balance for
that class, based upon an expected amortization schedule for that class. The
Company has made certain assumptions in establishing these amortization
schedules, including, among other things, that all TBC collections are received
in accordance with JCP&L's forecasts. There can be no assurance that the
principal balance of any class of Bonds will be reduced at the rates indicated
in these amortization schedules. The legal final maturity date for each class of
Bonds is the date on which the Company is required to pay any outstanding
principal balance for that class. The Bonds will not be in default if principal
is not paid in accordance with the expected amortization schedules; however, a
default will occur if the entire outstanding balance of any class is not paid on
or before the final maturity date of that class.

           The source for repayment of the Bonds is the TBC authorized pursuant
to the Financing Order, which is being collected from JCP&L customers by JCP&L,
as Servicer. Daily, JCP&L deposits TBC collections into a collection account
maintained by the Trustee. In accordance with the Indenture, the Trustee
allocates amounts in the collection account to general, series, reserve,
overcollateralization and capital subaccounts. The general subaccount is used to
make principal and interest payments on the Bonds (through series subaccounts)
and to pay expenses, fees and charges as specified in the Indenture. The Trustee
is required to make the first payment on the Bonds on


                                        6

March 5, 2003. The reserve subaccount is maintained for the purpose of retaining
any excess amount of TBC collections and investment earnings not released to the
Company.  The funding level of the  overcollateralization  subaccount is 0.5% of
the initial principal balance of the Bonds,  funded ratably over the life of the
Bonds.   dsIf   amounts   available   in  the   general,   series,   reserve  or
overcollateralization subaccounts are not sufficient on any payment date to make
scheduled payments specified in the Indenture,  the Trustee will draw on amounts
in the capital  subaccount.  Upon issuance of the Bonds, an amount equal to 0.5%
of the initial  principal  balance of the Bonds was  deposited  into the capital
subaccount.  Any  amounts  collateralizing  Bonds will be returned to JCP&L upon
payment of the Bonds.  JCP&L began  remitting TBC  collections to the Trustee on
July 15, 2002.
