3.   New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

SFAS 143
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement  Obligations,  on the accounting for obligations
associated  with the  retirement  of  long-lived  assets.  SFAS 143  requires  a
liability  to  be  recognized  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for
retirement  obligations  meeting specific  criteria.  Measurement of the initial
obligation is to approximate fair value,  with an equivalent  amount recorded as
an increase in the value of the capitalized asset. The asset will be depreciated
in  accordance  with  normal  depreciation  policy  and  the  liability  will be
increased  for the time value of money,  with a charge to the income  statement,
until  the  obligation  is  settled.  SFAS 143 is  effective  for  fiscal  years
beginning  after June 15, 2002. The Trust adopted SFAS 143 effective  January 1,
2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 145
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  Rescission of FASB  Statements No.
4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 13, and  Technical  Correction.
SFAS No. 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for reporting gain or
loss  on  debt   extinguishment,   and  amends  other   existing   authoritative
pronouncements  to make various  technical  corrections,  clarify  meanings,  or
describe their applicability  under changed  conditions.  The Trust adopted SFAS
145  effective  January 1, 2003,  with no  material  impact on the  consolidated
financial statements.

SFAS 146
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal  Activities.  SFAS No. 146 requires  recording costs associated
with exit or disposal  activities at their fair values when a liability has been
incurred. The Trust adopted SFAS 146 effective January 1, 2003, with no material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FIN 46
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation No. 46, (Revised December
2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46") which changes the
criteria  by which one  company  includes  another  entity  in its  consolidated
financial  statements.  FIN  46  requires  a  variable  interest  entity  to  be
consolidated  by a company if that  company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's  activities or entitled to receive a
majority  of  the  entity's   residual   returns  or  both.  The   consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply  immediately to variable  interest entities created
after December 31, 2003, and apply in the first fiscal period ending after March
15, 2004, for variable  interest  entities created prior to January 1, 2004. The
Trust adopted the disclosure  provisions of FIN 46 effective  December 31, 2002,
with no material  impact to the  consolidated  financial  statements.  The Trust
implemented  the full  provisions of FIN 46 effective  January 1, 2004,  with no
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 149
In April 2003,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,  "Amendment  of  Statement  133 on
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities."  SFAS  No.  149  amends  and
clarifies  the  accounting  for  derivative   instruments,   including   certain
derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts,  and for hedging activities
under  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities."  SFAS No. 149 is generally  effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June
30, 2003.  The Trust adopted SFAS 149 effective  July 1, 2003,  with no material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 150
In May 2003,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 150,  Accounting  for Certain  Financial
Instruments with  Characteristics  of both Liabilities and Equity.  SFAS No. 150
establishes   standards  for   classifying  and  measuring   certain   financial
instruments  with  characteristics  of both  liabilities  and equity.  The Trust
adopted  SFAS  150  effective  July 1,  2003,  with no  material  impact  on the
consolidated financial statements.

4. Long-term Debt

On February 13, 2004, the  Providence  Project made a payment of $813,257 to pay
off the remaining balance of its  collateralized  non-recourse  notes. The final
payment  consisted  of $90,738 in cash and the  transfer of the  $722,519 in the
restricted cash debt reserve fund at February 13, 2004.

5. Related Party Transactions

From time to time, the Trust records  short-term  payables and receivables  from
other  affiliates in the ordinary  course of business.  The amounts  payable and

7. Subsequent Events

Maine Hydro Projects
On January 28, 2004,  Ridgewood  Maine Hydro  Partners  L.P.  ("Ridgewood  Maine
Hydro") (a/k/a Maine Hydro Projects)  filed a complaint  against CHI Operations,
Inc. and certain of its officers,  employees and  affiliates  (collectively  the
"Defendants") in the Superior Court of Kennebec County,  Maine.  Ridgewood Maine
Hydro was seeking relief from the court related to a long-term fraudulent scheme
perpetrated by the Defendants related to charges under an Operation, Maintenance
and Administration Agreement (the "OM&A Agreement") dated December 23, 1996.

On April  30,  2004,  Ridgewood  Maine  Hydro  and the  Defendants  agreed  to a
settlement of the dispute. As a result of the settlement, (a) the OM&A Agreement
was terminated on April 30, 2004 without  further  obligation or liability,  (b)
Defendants  paid $500,000 to Ridgewood  Maine Hydro,  and (c) invoices  totaling
approximately $500,000 due from Ridgewood Maine Hydro to Defendants for services
rendered under the OM&A Agreement were cancelled.

On April 30, 2004, Ridgewood Power Management LLC ("Ridgewood  Management"),  an
affiliate of the Managing Shareholder of the Trust, began operating the projects
under an operating  agreement  with Ridgewood  Maine Hydro.  Under the operating
agreement,  Ridgewood  Management  will charge the Ridgewood  Maine Hydro at its
cost for these services and for the allocable amount of certain overhead items.

Maine Biomass Projects
On August 6, 2004,  Indeck Maine Energy LLC entered into a $6,000,0000  Mortgage
Loan  Agreement  with  Commerce  Bank/North.  The loan  requires  the payment of
interest only during the period of September 1, 2004 through  November 30, 2004.
Interest  for this  period will bear  interest  at a variable  rate equal to the
Prime rate plus 1%. On December 1, 2004,  the loan shall  convert to a term loan
and will bear interest  based on the Five Year Treasury Bill rate as of November
24, 2004 plus 275 basis  points.  Monthly  principal  payments of $100,000  will
commence on December 1, 2004 and will be paid with interest  through December 1,
2009.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Dollar amounts in this discussion are rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Introduction

The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and the
limited  partnerships  owning the Providence  Project and the California Pumping
project.  The Trust uses the equity method of accounting for its  investments in
the Maine Hydro Projects and the Maine Biomass Projects,  which are owned 50% or
less by the Trust.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a complete discussion of critical accounting policies, refer to "Significant
Accounting Policies" in Item 7 of the Trust's 2003 Form 10-K. There have been no
substantive changes to those policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

Total  revenue  for the  first  quarter  of 2004  was  $3,248,000,  compared  to
$2,373,000  for the first  quarter of 2003.  The  increase  in total  revenue is
primarily  attributable to the $815,000 increase in renewable  attribute revenue
from the Providence Project. In addition to its 2003 qualification status in the
State of Massachusetts  energy market,  the Providence Project began to sell its
energy attributes in the Connecticut energy market in the first quarter of 2004.

Gross profit increased  $195,000 to $970,000 for the first three months of 2004.
The  increase  is a result  of the  increase  in  renewable  attribute  revenue,
partially offset by the higher  maintenance  expenses incurred by the Providence
Project in the current year.

General and administrative  expenses increased $99,000 to $289,000 for the first
quarter of 2004. The management fee decreased from $142,000 in the first quarter
of 2003 to $130,000 in the same period in 2004 as a result of the Trust's  lower
net asset balance.

Interest  expense was reduced by $28,000  from  $42,000 in the first  quarter of
2003 to  $14,000  in the first  quarter  of 2004 as a result  of the  Providence
Project paying off the balance of its debt in the first quarter of 2004.

Equity income from the Maine Hydro  Projects  increased  $114,000 from a loss of
$58,000  for the first  three  months of 2003 to income of $56,000 for the first
three  months of 2004.  The increase is due to the higher  output  achieved as a
result the increase in precipitation  and the lower operating  expenses incurred
in the first quarter of 2004.

The equity loss from the Maine Biomass  Projects  increased from $171,000 in the
first  quarter of 2003 to $610,000 in the same period in 2004.  The  increase in
the equity loss in the Maine Biomass  Projects is primarily  attributable to the
increase  in  repairs  and   maintenance   costs   incurred  as  the  result  of
refurbishing, staffing and restarting the idle Eastport plant.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating  activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004
was  $214,000 as compared to $527,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The decrease in cash flow from  operating  activities is primarily the result of
the  increase in  accounts  receivable  in 2004 and the absence of the  proceeds
received in the first quarter of 2003 from a 2002 insurance claim.

Cash used in  investing  activities  was zero for the first  quarter  of 2003 as
compared to $8,000 used in the purchase of machinery  and equipment in the first
quarter of 2004.

Cash  used in  financing  activities  for the  first  three  months  of 2004 was
$351,000  as  compared  to  $573,000  for the first  three  months of 2003.  The
decrease  in  cash  flow  used  in  financing  activities  is due  to the  Trust
transferring the restricted debt reserve fund to pay off the remaining principal
balance of long-term debt.

On June 26, 2003, Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC, the Managing Shareholder of the
Trust,  entered into a $5,000,0000  Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with
Wachovia  Bank,  National   Association.   The  agreement  allows  the  Managing
Shareholder  to obtain loans and letters of credit for the benefit of the trusts
and funds that it manages.  The  agreement  expires on June 30, 2004. As part of
the  agreement,  the  Trust  agreed  to  limitations  on its  ability  to  incur
indebtedness and liens and make  guarantees.  On February 20, 2004, the Managing
Shareholder  and Wachovia  Bank amended the agreement  increasing  the amount to
$6,000,000 and extending the date of expiration to June 30, 2005.

The Trust has historically  financed its operations from cash generated from its
subsidiaries'  operations.  Obligations  of the Trust are  generally  limited to
payment of the management fee to the Managing Shareholder and payment of certain
accounting and legal services to third parties.  The Trust expects that its cash
flows  from  operations  and  cash  on  hand  will be  sufficient  to  fund  its
obligations and any distributions declared for the next twelve months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on their  evaluation,  as of a date  within 90 days of the filing  date of
this Form 10-Q, the Trust's Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that the Trust's  disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended)  are  effective.  There have been no  significant  changes in  internal
controls or in other  factors that could  significantly  affect  these  controls
subsequent to the date of their  evaluation,  including any  corrective  actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Management has  identified  deficiencies  in the Trust's  ability to process and
summarize  financial  information  of  certain  individual  projects  and equity
investees  on a timely  basis.  Management  is  establishing  a project  plan to
address this deficiency.

Forward-looking statement advisory
This Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q, as with some other  statements  made by the
Trust from time to time, contains forward-looking  statements.  These statements
discuss business trends and other matters relating to the Trust's future results
and the  business  climate and are found,  among other  places,  in the notes to
financial  statements  and at  Part  I,  Item  2,  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis.  In  order  to  make  these  statements,  the  Trust  has  had to make
assumptions  as to the future.  It has also had to make  estimates in some cases
about events that have already  happened,  and to rely on data that may be found
to be inaccurate at a later time. Because these  forward-looking  statements are
based on assumptions,  estimates and changeable data, and because any attempt to
predict the future is subject to other errors,  what happens to the Trust in the
future may be materially different from the Trust's statements here.

The Trust  therefore warns readers of this document that they should not rely on
these  forward-looking  statements  without  considering  all of the things that
could make them  inaccurate.  The Trust's other filings with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission and its Confidential  Memorandum discuss many (but not all)
of  the  risks  and  uncertainties  that  might  affect  these   forward-looking
statements.

Some of these are changes in political and economic conditions, federal or state
regulatory  structures,  government  taxation,  spending and budgetary policies,
government  mandates,  demand for electricity and thermal energy, the ability of
customers  to pay for  energy  received,  supplies  of fuel and prices of fuels,
operational status of plant,  mechanical  breakdowns,  availability of labor and
the  willingness  of  electric  utilities  to perform  existing  power  purchase
agreements in good faith.  Some of the  cautionary  factors that readers  should
consider are described in the Trust's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

By making these statements now, the Trust is not making any commitment to revise
these forward-looking statements to reflect events that happen after the date of
this document or to reflect unanticipated future events.
