EDISON MISSION ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  MARCH 31, 2005  (Dollars in millions, Unaudited)

Note 1. General

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position and results of operations for the periods covered by this report. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.

Edison
Mission Energy's (EME's) significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, included
in EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. EME follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes. This quarterly report
should be read in connection with such financial statements. Terms used but not defined in this report are defined in EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications include the
reclassification of income from continuing operations to discontinued operations for EME's international operations, except the Doga project. Refer to Note 4Discontinued
Operations. Except as indicated, amounts reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relate to continuing operations of EME.

Note 2. Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consisted of the following:

Unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, net of tax, at March 31, 2005, include unrealized losses on commodity hedges primarily related to
EME Homer City Generation L.P. (EME Homer City) and Midwest Generation forward electricity contracts that did not meet the normal sales and purchases exception under SFAS No. 133. These losses
arise because current forecasts of future electricity prices in these markets are greater than contract prices. Partially offsetting these unrealized losses were unrealized gains on commodity hedges
related to EME's share of fuel contracts at March Point.

As
EME's hedged positions for continuing operations are realized, approximately $73 million, after tax, of the net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges at March 31, 2005
are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. Management expects that reclassification of net unrealized losses will offset energy revenue recognized at market
prices. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months could vary materially from this estimated amount as a result of changes in market conditions. The maximum
period over which a cash flow hedge is designated is through December 31, 2006.

Under
SFAS No. 133, the portion of a cash flow hedge that does not offset the change in value of the transaction being hedged, which is commonly referred to as the ineffective
portion, is immediately recognized in earnings. EME recorded net gains (losses) of approximately $(4) million and $4 million
during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing the amount of cash flow hedges' ineffectiveness for continuing operations, reflected in net gains from price risk management and
energy trading in EME's consolidated income statement.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations

Tri Energy Project

On February 3, 2005, EME sold its 25% equity interest in the Tri Energy project pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated December 15, 2004, by and
between EME and a consortium comprised of International Power plc (70%) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (30%), referred to as IPM, for approximately $20 million. EME recorded an impairment
charge of approximately $5 million during the fourth quarter of 2004 related to the planned disposition of this investment. The sale of this investment had no significant effect on net income
in the first quarter of 2005.

CBK Project

On January 10, 2005, EME sold its 50% equity interest in the CBK project pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated November 5, 2004, by and between
EME and Corporacion IMPSA S.A. Proceeds from the sale were approximately $104 million. EME recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $9 million during the first
quarter of 2005.

MEC International B.V.

On December 16, 2004, EME sold the stock and related assets of MEC International B.V. (MECIBV) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated July 29,
2004, by and between EME and IPM. The purchase agreement was entered into following a competitive bidding process. The sale of MECIBV included the sale of EME's interests in ten electric power
generating projects or companies located in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Puerto Rico. Consideration from the sale of MECIBV and related assets was $2.0 billion.

Contact Energy

On September 30, 2004, EME sold its 51.2% interest in Contact Energy to Origin Energy New Zealand Limited pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated
July 20, 2004. The purchase agreement was entered into following a competitive bidding process. Consideration for the sale was NZ$1,101.4 million (approximately US$739 million) in
cash and NZ$535 million (approximately US$359 million) of debt assumed by the purchaser.

Lakeland Project

EME previously owned and operated a 220 MW combined cycle, natural gas-fired power plant located in the United Kingdom, known as the Lakeland project.
The ownership of the project was held through EME's indirect subsidiary, Lakeland Power Ltd., which sold power generated from the plant pursuant to a power sales agreement with Norweb
Energi Ltd., a subsidiary of TXU (UK) Holdings Limited (TXU UK) and an indirect subsidiary of TXU Europe Group plc (TXU Europe). EME ceased consolidating the activities of Lakeland
Power Ltd. in 2002, when an administrative receiver was appointed following a default by Norweb Energi Ltd. under the power sales agreement. Accordingly, EME accounts for its ownership
of Lakeland Power Ltd. on the cost method and earnings are recognized as cash is distributed from this entity.

As
previously disclosed, the administrative receiver of Lakeland Power Ltd. filed a claim against Norweb Energi Ltd. for termination of the power sales agreement. On
November 19, 2002, TXU UK and TXU Europe, together with a related entity, TXU Europe Energy Trading Limited (TXU Energy), entered into formal administration proceedings of their own in the
United Kingdom (similar to bankruptcy proceedings in the United States). On March 31, 2005, Lakeland Power Ltd. received
£112 million (approximately $210 million) from the TXU administrators, representing an interim payment of 97% of its accepted claim of £116 million
(approximately $217 million). No income related to this payment was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

From
the amount received, Lakeland Power Ltd., now controlled by a liquidator in the United Kingdom, has made a payment of £20 million (approximately
$38 million) to EME on April 7, 2005 comprised of £7 million (approximately $13 million) for a secured loan which EME purchased from Lakeland
Power Ltd.'s secured creditors in 2004 and certain unsecured receivables from Lakeland Power Ltd., and £13 million (approximately $25 million) as a distribution
to the EME subsidiary that owns the equity interest in Lakeland Power Ltd. This amount will be recognized in income during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, Lakeland
Power Ltd. will pay to EME's subsidiary that owns the equity interest in Lakeland Power Ltd. the amount remaining after resolution of any remaining secured and unsecured creditor claims
and payment of or provision for tax liabilities and the fees and expenses associated with Lakeland Power Ltd.'s liquidation.

EME
estimates that the net proceeds after tax (including taxes due in the United States) resulting from the above payments will be approximately $100 million and the increase in
net income will be approximately $90 million (including the amounts discussed above during the second quarter of 2005). These proceeds may be received throughout 2005, and possibly 2006, as
Lakeland Power Ltd.'s liquidation progresses. Because the amounts required to settle outstanding claims and UK taxes have not been finalized and cannot be estimated precisely in the context of
the liquidation, the actual amount of net proceeds and increase in net income may vary materially from the above estimate.

Ferrybridge and Fiddler's Ferry Plants

On December 21, 2001, EME sold the Ferrybridge and Fiddler's Ferry coal-fired power plants located in the United Kingdom to two wholly owned
subsidiaries of American Electric Power. In addition, as part of the transactions, the purchasers acquired other assets and assumed specified liabilities associated with the plants. The sale was the
result of a competitive bidding process. EME acquired the plants in 1999 from PowerGen UK plc for £1.3 billion.

Summarized Financial Information for Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, all of the projects discussed above are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements
of income. Previously issued statements of operations have been restated to reflect discontinued operations reported subsequent to the original issuance date. Summarized results of discontinued

have
been implemented to streamline EME's reporting relationships and eliminate its regional management structure. As a result of these changes, EME recorded a charge of $7 million (pre-tax) in
the quarter ended March 31, 2005 for severance and related costs of the changes implemented by that date, which were included in administrative and general expense on EME's consolidated
statement of income. EME expects to record an additional charge of $4 million (pre-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 associated with completion of the restructuring steps after
March 31, 2005.

Note 6. Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plans

EME previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expected to contribute $12 million to its pension
plans in 2005. As of March 31, 2005, $1 million in contributions have been made. EME anticipates that its original expectation will be met by year-end 2005.

Note 7. Refinancing

EME Financing Developments

On January 25, 2005, EME repaid the junior subordinated debentures and consequently repaid the cumulative monthly income preferred securities (MIPS) of
$150 million. The junior subordinated debentures are described more fully in Note 10Financial Instruments, included in EME's annual

report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. In connection with the repayment of the junior subordinated debentures, EME recorded a $4 million loss on
early extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2005.

Midwest Generation Financing Developments

On April 18, 2005, Midwest Generation completed a refinancing of indebtedness. The refinancing was effected through the amendment and restatement of
Midwest Generation's existing credit facility, originally entered into April 27, 2004. The existing credit facility had provided for a $700 million first priority secured institutional
term loan due in 2011 and a $200 million first priority secured revolving credit, working capital facility due in 2009.

The
refinancing consisted of, among other things, a repricing of Midwest Generation's existing term loan and a new $300 million revolving credit, working capital facility due in
2011. The previously existing $200 million working capital facility remains in place. Midwest Generation drew in full upon the new $300 million working capital facility at closing and
used the proceeds to pay down an equivalent portion of the existing term loan. After giving effect to the paydown, the term loan carries a lower interest rate of LIBOR + 2%. The maturity
date of the repriced term loan remains 2011. The new working capital facility, together with the existing working capital facility, shares first lien priority with the repriced term loan. The new
working capital facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.25%. The maturity date of the new working capital facility is 2011; however, the lenders can request to be fully repaid in
2010.

On
the day after the closing of the refinancing transaction, EME contributed $300 million in equity to Midwest Generation, and Midwest Generation used the proceeds of this equity
contribution to repay the loans outstanding under the new working capital facility. Thus, after completion of the actions outlined herein, Midwest Generation has $343 million outstanding under
its term loan and $500 million of working capital facilities available for working capital requirements, including credit support for hedging activities. As of April 18, 2005,
approximately $5 million was outstanding under these working capital facilities.

Under
the terms of Midwest Generation's credit agreement, Midwest Generation is permitted to distribute 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement). In addition, Midwest
Generation is permitted to distribute the remaining 25% of excess cash flow until the amount so distributed totals the $300 million equity contribution (made on April 19, 2005). Furthermore, Midwest
Generation is required to make a concurrent offer to repay debt in an amount equal to one-third of any distribution over the portion of such distribution allocated to the equity contribution.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

Long-Term Debt

EME's long-term debt maturities for the next five twelve-month periods ending March 31 are: 2006$53 million;
2007$52 million; 2008$115 million; 2009$416 billion; and 2010$613 million. These amounts have been updated primarily to
reflect financing activities completed during the first three months of 2005. See Note 7Refinancing.

Fuel Supply Contracts

Midwest Generation has entered into additional fuel purchase commitments with various third-party suppliers during the first three months of 2005. These
additional commitments are currently estimated to be $8 million for 2005, $8 million for 2006, $24 million for 2007, $25 million for 2008, and $53 million for 2009.

Fuel Supply Dispute

Beginning in 2004, EME Homer City experienced interruptions of supply under two agreements with Unionvale Coal Company and Genesis, Inc. Unionvale and
Genesis claimed that alleged geologic conditions at the Genesis No. 17 Mine in Pennsylvania, which is one source of coal under these multi-source coal contracts, constituted force majeure and
excused full contract performance. These two agreements together provide for the delivery to EME Homer City of 1,290,000 tons of coal, which represents 20% of EME Homer City's clean coal requirements
in 2005 and 2006, and approximately 10% in 2007.

On
December 21, 2004, Unionvale and Genesis gave notice of termination of one of the agreements, which was scheduled to run through December 2007, under a provision that
they claim allows either party to the agreement to terminate if an event of force majeure lasts 30 days or more. Unionvale and Genesis allege that the geologic problems encountered at the one
mine have continued beyond a 30-day period and excuse their obligation to deliver coal under the agreement. The parties' second agreement with a term through December 2006 does not
contain the same termination provision, and the suppliers have sought contract modifications to the term, quantity, quality and price provisions of this agreement. On April 26, 2005, Unionvale
and Genesis informed EME Homer City
that Genesis No. 17 Mine has been shut down and that no delivery of coal from that mine will be made under either agreement.

EME
Homer City disputes the force majeure claim and the suppliers' reliance upon this claim to excuse their performance under the multi-source coal agreements. EME Homer City has filed
suit against Unionvale and Genesis in Pennsylvania state court seeking, among other things, equitable relief by way of an order requiring the defendants to fulfill their contractual obligations and
other monetary relief. The parties are currently engaged in mediation in an effort to resolve the contractual dispute. Contracts have been awarded and inventory strategies adjusted to reflect and
offset the delivery shortfall for 2005. As of March 31, 2005, EME Homer City had not contracted for the resultant potential shortfalls in 2006 and 2007.

Coal Transportation Agreements

Midwest Generation has additional coal transportation commitments during the first three months of 2005. Based on the committed coal volumes in the fuel supply
contracts mentioned above, these commitments are currently estimated to be $16 million for 2005, $15 million for 2006, $38 million for 2007, $37 million for 2008, and
$74 million for 2009.

Capital Improvements

At March 31, 2005, EME's subsidiaries had firm commitments to spend approximately $21 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of 2005,
primarily for component replacement projects. These expenditures are planned to be financed by existing subsidiary credit facilities and cash generated from operations.

Commercial Commitments

Introduction

EME and certain of its subsidiaries have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnifications which are issued in the normal course of business. As
discussed below, these contracts include performance guarantees, standby letters of credit, guarantee of debt and indemnifications.

Standby Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2005, standby letters of credit aggregated $35 million and were scheduled to expire as follows: 2005$30 million;
2006$2 million; and 2007$3 million.

Guarantees and Indemnities

Tax Indemnity Agreements

In
connection with the sale-leaseback transactions that EME has entered into related to the Collins Station and the Powerton and Joliet Stations in Illinois and the Homer
City facilities in Pennsylvania, EME or one of its subsidiaries entered into tax indemnity agreements. Under these tax
indemnity agreements, these entities agreed to indemnify the lessors in the sale-leaseback transactions for specified adverse tax consequences that could result in certain situations set
forth in each tax indemnity agreement, including specified defaults under the respective leases. The potential indemnity obligations under these tax indemnity agreements could be significant. Due to
the nature of these potential obligations, EME cannot determine a maximum potential liability which would be triggered by a valid claim from the lessors. EME has not recorded a liability related to
these indemnities. In connection with the termination of the Collins Station lease in April 2004, Midwest Generation will continue to have obligations under the tax indemnity agreement with the
former lease equity investor.

Indemnities Provided as Part of the Acquisition of the Illinois Plants

In
connection with the acquisition of the Illinois Plants, EME agreed to indemnify Commonwealth Edison with respect to specified environmental liabilities before and after
December 15, 1999, the date of sale. The indemnification claims are reduced by any insurance proceeds and tax benefits related to such claims and are subject to a requirement that Commonwealth
Edison take all reasonable steps to mitigate losses related to any such indemnification claim. Due to the nature of the obligation under this indemnity, a maximum potential liability cannot be
determined. This indemnification for environmental liabilities is not limited in term and would be triggered by a valid claim from Commonwealth Edison. Except as discussed below, EME has not recorded
a liability related to this indemnity.

Midwest
Generation entered into a supplemental agreement with Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation Company on February 20, 2003 to resolve a dispute regarding interpretation
of its reimbursement obligation for asbestos claims under the environmental indemnities set forth in the Asset Sale Agreement. Under this supplemental agreement, Midwest Generation agreed to reimburse
Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation for 50% of specific existing asbestos claims and expenses less recovery of insurance costs, and agreed to a sharing arrangement for liabilities and expenses
associated with future asbestos-related claims as specified in the agreement. As a general matter, Commonwealth Edison and Midwest Generation apportion responsibility for future asbestos-related
claims based upon the number of exposure sites that are Commonwealth Edison locations or Midwest Generation locations. The obligations under this agreement are not subject to a maximum liability. The
supplemental agreement has a five-year term with an automatic renewal provision (subject

to
the right of either party to terminate). Payments are made under this indemnity upon tender by Commonwealth Edison of appropriate proof of liability for an asbestos-related settlement, judgment,
verdict, or expense. There were between 130 and 170 cases for which Midwest Generation was potentially liable and that had not been settled and dismissed at March 31, 2005. Midwest Generation
has recorded a $68 million liability at March 31, 2005 related to this matter.

The
amounts recorded by Midwest Generation for the asbestos-related liability are based upon a number of assumptions. Projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be
filed each year, the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower
than projected.

Indemnity Provided as Part of the Acquisition of the Homer City Facilities

In
connection with the acquisition of the Homer City facilities, EME Homer City Generation L.P. (EME Homer City) agreed to indemnify the sellers with respect to specific environmental
liabilities before and after the date of sale as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 1998. EME guaranteed the obligations of EME Homer City. Due to the nature of the
obligation under this indemnity provision, it is not subject to a maximum potential liability and does not have an expiration date. Payments would be triggered under this indemnity by a claim from the
sellers. EME has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

Indemnities Provided under Asset Sale Agreements

The
asset sale agreements for the sale of EME's international assets contain indemnities from EME to the purchasers, including indemnification for taxes imposed with respect to
operations of the assets prior to the sale and for pre-closing environmental liabilities. EME also provided an indemnity to IPM for matters arising out of the exercise by one of its
project partners of a purported right of first refusal. Not all indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific expiration dates. Payments would be triggered under these indemnities by valid
claims from the sellers or purchasers, as the case may be. At March 31, 2005, EME has recorded a liability of $85 million related to these matters.

In
connection with the sale of various domestic assets, EME has from time to time provided indemnities to the purchasers for taxes imposed with respect to operations of the asset prior
to the sale. EME has also provided indemnities to purchasers for items specified in each agreement (for example, specific pre-existing litigation matters and/or environmental conditions).
Due to the nature of the obligations under these indemnity agreements, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined. Not all indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific expiration
dates. Payments would be triggered under these indemnities by valid claims from the sellers or purchasers, as the case may be. EME has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities.

Guarantee of Brooklyn Navy Yard Contractor Settlement Payments

On
March 31, 2004, EME completed the sale of 100% of the stock of Mission Energy New York, Inc., which holds a 50% partnership interest in Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration
Partners, L.P. (referred to as Brooklyn Navy Yard), to BNY Power Partners LLC. Brooklyn Navy Yard owns a 286 MW gas-fired cogeneration power plant in Brooklyn, New York. In
February 1997, the construction contractor asserted general monetary claims under the turnkey agreement against Brooklyn Navy Yard. A settlement agreement was executed on January 17,
2003, and all litigation has been dismissed. EME agreed to indemnify Brooklyn Navy Yard and, in connection with the sale of EME's interest in Brooklyn Navy Yard, BNY Power Partners for any payments
due under this settlement agreement,

which
are scheduled through 2006. At March 31, 2005, EME had recorded a liability of $7 million related to this indemnity.

Capacity Indemnification Agreements

EME
has guaranteed, jointly and severally with Texaco Inc., the obligations of March Point Cogeneration Company under its project power sales agreements to repay capacity payments
to the project's power purchaser in the event that the power sales agreements terminate, March Point Cogeneration Company abandons the project, or the project fails to return to normal operations
within a reasonable time after a complete or partial shutdown, during the term of the power contracts. In addition, subsidiaries of EME have guaranteed the obligations of Kern River Cogeneration
Company and Sycamore Cogeneration Company under their project power sales agreements to repay capacity payments to the projects' power purchaser in the event that the projects unilaterally terminate
their performance or reduce their electric power producing capability during the term of the power contracts. The obligations under the indemnification agreements as of March 31, 2005, if
payment were required, would be $144 million. EME has no reason to believe that any of these projects will either cease operations or reduce its electric power producing capability during the
term of its power contract. EME has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

Subsidiary Guarantee for Performance of Unconsolidated Affiliate

A
subsidiary of EME has guaranteed the obligations of an unconsolidated affiliate to make payments to a third party for power delivered under a fixed-price power sales agreement. This
agreement runs through 2007. EME believes there is sufficient cash flow to pay the power suppliers, assuming timely payment by the power purchasers. Due to the nature of this indemnity, a maximum
potential liability
cannot be determined. To the extent EME's subsidiary would be required to make payments under the guarantee, EME's subsidiary and EME are indemnified by Peabody Energy Corporation pursuant to the 2000
Purchase and Sale Agreement for Citizens Power LLC. EME's subsidiary has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

Contingencies

Legal Developments Affecting Sunrise Power Company

Sunrise Power Company, in which EME's wholly owned subsidiary owns a 50% interest, sells all its output to the California Department of Water Resources. On
May 15, 2002, Sunrise Power Company was served with a complaint filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, by James M. Millar, "individually, and
on behalf of the general public and as a representative taxpayer suit" against sellers of long-term power to the California Department of Water Resources, including Sunrise Power Company.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including Sunrise Power Company, engaged in unfair and fraudulent business practices by knowingly taking advantage of a manipulated power market to obtain
unfair contract terms. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin enforcement of the "unfair and oppressive terms and conditions" in the contracts, as well as restitution by the defendants of excessive monies
obtained by the defendants. Plaintiffs in several other class action lawsuits pending in Northern California have filed petitions seeking to have the Millar lawsuit consolidated with those lawsuits.
In December 2003, James Millar filed a First Amended Class Action and Representative Action Complaint which contains allegations similar to those in the earlier complaint but also alleges a
class action. One of the newly added parties removed the lawsuit to federal court, and the court ordered remand to the San Francisco Superior Court. Defendants filed a responding pleading on
May 6, 2005. EME believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Regulatory Developments Affecting Doga Project

On August 4, 2002, a new Electricity Market License Regulation was implemented in Turkey. The new regulation contains, among other things, a requirement
that each generator obtain a generation license. Historically, Doga's Implementation Contract has been its sole license. The new regulation
contemplates an initial fixed license fee and a yearly license fee based on the amount of energy generated, which will increase the project's costs of operation by an undetermined amount. In addition,
the new regulation allows the possibility of insertion of provisions in a new license which may be different from those in the Implementation Contract.

The
effect of the new regulation is still undetermined, as the new license provisions have not been specified. Doga complied with the new regulation's stipulation to apply for a new
generation license by June 2, 2003. The license has not been issued yet. If actions or inactions undertaken pursuant to the new regulation directly or indirectly impede, hinder, prevent or
delay the operation of the Doga facility or increase Doga's cost of performing its obligations under its project documents, this may constitute a "risk event" under Doga's Implementation Contract. A
risk event may permit Doga to request an increase in its tariff or, under certain circumstances, request a buyout of the project by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.

On
October 3, 2002, Doga (and several other power producers in Turkey acting independently) filed a lawsuit in the Danistay, Turkey's high administrative court, against the Energy
Market Regulatory Authority seeking both an injunction and permanent invalidation of certain provisions of the new regulation on the grounds of the illegality and unconstitutionality of any new
license requirement that does not take into account the vested rights of a company operating pursuant to previously agreed terms of the Implementation Contract.

On
May 12, 2003, the Danistay rejected Doga's request for injunctive relief (as well as those of the other power companies with similar claims). On July 10, 2003, Doga
appealed the Danistay's ruling. Doga's appeal was heard by the General Council of the Administrative Chambers of Danistay on October 10, 2003 and was rejected. There are no further rights of
appeal against the decision regarding the injunction. The Danistay will continue to hear the merits of Doga's lawsuit. A decision is not expected to be rendered before the second quarter of 2005.

Income Taxes

EME is, and may in the future be, under examination by tax authorities in varying tax jurisdictions with respect to positions it takes in connection with the
filing of its tax returns. Matters raised upon audit may involve substantial amounts, which, if resolved unfavorably, an event not currently anticipated, could possibly be material. However, in EME's
opinion, it is unlikely that the resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect upon EME's financial condition or results of operations.

Litigation

EME experiences other routine litigation in the normal course of its business. None of such pending routine litigation is expected to have a material adverse
effect on EME's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Environmental Matters and Regulations

EME and its subsidiaries are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and foreign regulatory authorities
with jurisdiction over projects located outside the United States. EME believes that it is in substantial compliance with environmental regulatory requirements and that maintaining compliance with
current requirements will not materially affect its financial position or results of operation. However, possible future developments, such as the promulgation of more stringent environmental laws and
regulations, future proceedings that may be initiated by environmental authorities, and settlements agreed to by other companies could affect the costs and the manner in which EME conducts its
business and could cause it to make substantial additional capital expenditures. There is no assurance that EME would be able to recover these increased costs from its customers or that EME's
financial position and results of operations would not be materially adversely affected.

Typically,
environmental laws and regulations require a lengthy and complex process for obtaining licenses, permits and approvals prior to construction, operation or modification of a
project or generating facility. Meeting all the necessary requirements can delay or sometimes prevent the completion of a proposed project as well as require extensive modifications to existing
projects, which may involve significant capital expenditures. If EME fails to comply with applicable environmental laws, it may be subject to injunctive relief or penalties and fines imposed by
regulatory authorities.

With
respect to the investigation and remediation of contaminated property, EME accrues a liability to the extent that the costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Midwest
Generation has accrued approximately $2 million for estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs for the Illinois Plants. This estimate is based upon the number of sites, the
scope of work and the estimated costs for environmental activity where such expenditures could be reasonably estimated. Future estimated costs may vary based on changes in regulations or requirements
of federal, state or local governmental agencies, changes in technology, and actual costs of disposal. In addition, future remediation costs will be affected by the nature and extent of contamination
discovered at the sites that requires remediation. There can be no assurance the existence or extent of all contamination at EME's sites has been fully identified, or that activities at the Illinois
Plants or any other facilities identified in
the future may not result in additional environmental claims being asserted against EME and its subsidiaries or additional investigations or remedial actions being required. See "Note 15.
Commitments and ContingenciesEnvironmental Matters and Regulations" in EME's financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 for a more complete discussion of EME's environmental contingencies.

Note 10. Stock-based Compensation

Edison International has three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 14Stock Compensation Plans,
included in EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. EME accounts for those plans using the intrinsic value method. Upon grant, no stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income if EME had used the fair value accounting method.

Note 11. New Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 46(R)

In December 2003, the FASB re-issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). The primary objective of the Interpretation is to provide guidance on the identification of, and financial reporting for, entities over which control is achieved through
means other than voting rights; such entities are known as variable interest entities. Under this Interpretation, the primary beneficiary is the variable interest holder that absorbs a majority of
expected losses; if no variable interest holder meets this criteria, then it is the variable interest holder that receives a majority of the expected residual returns. The primary beneficiary is
required to consolidate the variable interest entity unless specific exceptions or exclusions are met. This Interpretation applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003,
and applies to variable interest entities in which EME holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. This Interpretation is effective for special purpose entities as of
December 31, 2003 and for all other entities as of March 31, 2004.

Deconsolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with FIN 46R, EME determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of the Doga and Kwinana projects and, accordingly, deconsolidated these
projects as of March 31, 2004. The Kwinana project was sold on December 16, 2004 as part of the sale of international operations to IPM and, accordingly, is included in discontinued
operations.

Variable Interest Entities

EME completed a review of the application of FIN 46R to its subsidiaries and affiliates and concluded that it has variable interests in variable interest entities
as defined in this interpretation. The following
table summarizes the variable interest entities held by continuing operations in which EME has a significant variable interest:

|Variable Interest Entity |  | Location        |  | Investment at
March 31, 2005 |    | Ownership
Interest at
March 31, 2005 |    | Description
|------------------------ |  | --------------- |  | ---------------------------- | -- | ------------------------------------ | -- | -----------
|Sunrise                  |  | Fellows, CA     |  | $                            | 94 |                                      | 50 | %          
|Watson                   |  | Carson, CA      |  |                              | 84 |                                      | 49 | %          
|Sycamore                 |  | Bakersfield, CA |  |                              | 52 |                                      | 50 | %          
|Midway-Sunset            |  | Fellows, CA     |  |                              | 49 |                                      | 50 | %          
|Kern River               |  | Bakersfield, CA |  |                              | 40 |                                      | 50 | %          

EME has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary in these entities; accordingly, EME will account for its variable interests on the
equity method. EME's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is generally limited to its investment in these entities.

FASB Staff Position FIN 46(R)-5

In March 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position FIN 46(R)-5, "Implicit Variable Interests Under FIN 46" (FIN 46(R)-5). FIN
46(R)-5 states that a reporting entity should consider whether it holds an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity or in a potential variable interest entity. If the
aggregate of the explicit and implicit variable interests held by the reporting entity and its related parties would, if held by a single party, identify that party as the primary beneficiary, the
party within the group most closely associated with the variable interest entity should be deemed the primary beneficiary. EME is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 46(R)-5, but does
not believe it will change EME's previous determination under FIN 46R. The guidance of FIN 46(R)-5 is effective for the reporting period beginning after March 3, 2005.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)

In December 2004, the FASB reissued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and supersedes APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity receives
employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the entity or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of equity instruments. The standard will require EME to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and equity based compensation issued to employees in the statement
of income. The statement also requires that such transactions be accounted for using the fair value based method, thereby eliminating use of the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB
No. 25, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. EME currently uses the intrinsic value accounting method for stock-based compensation. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission announced a delay in the effective date for the standard to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. EME will implement the new standard effective
January 1, 2006 by applying the modified prospective transition method. The difference in expense between the two accounting methods is shown in Note 10Stock-Based
Compensation above.

---



FASB Staff Position FAS 109-1

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, 'Accounting for Income
Taxes,' to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004." The primary objective of this Position is to provide guidance on the application of
SFAS No. 109 to the provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that provides a tax deduction on qualified production activities under the provisions of Internal Code
Section 199 effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2004. Under FAS 109-1, recognition of the tax deduction on qualified production activities, which
include the production of electricity, is ordinarily reported in the year it is earned. The deduction is calculated, and the limitations to the deduction are applied at the consolidated income tax
reporting level by the parent of the affiliated group (Edison International). The benefit of the deduction is then allocated among the members of the group in proportion to each member's respective
amount, if any, of income from qualified production activities. For the year ended December 31, 2005, EME does not expect the allocated benefit to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements. EME is evaluating the effect that the tax deduction will have in years subsequent to 2005.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Interpretation No. 47

In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" (FIN
47). FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated even though
uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. EME is required to adopt FIN 47 by the end of 2005. EME is currently assessing the impact of FIN 47 on its results of operations and
financial condition.

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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements.
These statements reflect Edison Mission Energy's (EME's) current expectations and projections about future events based on EME's knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about
future developments. In this MD&A and elsewhere, the words "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "probable" and variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance; they are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual future
activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in this discussion. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause results to
differ, or that otherwise could impact EME or its subsidiaries, include:



Certain of the risk factors listed above are discussed in more detail in "Market Risk Exposures" below, and under "Risks Related to the Business" in the MD&A
included in Item 7 of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Additional information about the risk factors listed above and other risks and
uncertainties is contained throughout this MD&A. Readers are urged to read this entire quarterly report and carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors that affect EME's
business.

The MD&A of this Form 10-Q discusses material changes in the results of operations, financial condition and other developments of EME since
December 31, 2004, and as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. This discussion presumes that the reader has read or has access to the MD&A included in Item 7 of EME's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Management's Overview

EME Restructuring Activities

During 2004, EME sold most of its international operations. EME's international operations, except for the Doga project, are accounted for as discontinued
operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," and, accordingly, all prior
periods have been restated to reclassify the results of operations and assets and liabilities as discontinued operations. In the first quarter of 2005, EME completed the sale of two international
projects:



While
EME will continue to seek to sell its ownership interest in the Doga project, there is no assurance that such efforts will result in a sale.

In
connection with the sale of its international operations in 2004, together with cash on hand, in January 2005, EME:



In
April 2005, EME made an equity contribution of $300 million to Midwest Generation, which used the proceeds to repay indebtedness. See "Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesKey Financing" for a discussion of the Midwest Generation financing.

EME
has also completed a review of its domestic organization to better align its resources with its domestic business requirements. Management and organizational changes have been
implemented to streamline EME's reporting relationships and eliminate its regional management structure. As part of the restructuring, EME expects to reduce annualized costs by $7 million
(pre-tax) although this decrease is expected to be offset by higher development costs in the future. As a result of these changes, EME recorded a charge of $7 million (pre-tax) in the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 for severance and related costs of the changes implemented by that date. EME expects to record an

22

---



additional
charge of $4 million (pre-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 associated with completion of the restructuring steps after March 31, 2005.

Expiration of the Exelon Power Purchase Agreements and Wholesale Energy Prices

The five-year power purchase agreements between Midwest Generation and Exelon Generation Company expired on December 31, 2004 and, accordingly,
beginning January 1, 2005, all of the output from the Illinois Plants is considered merchant generation. In 2004, approximately 53% of the energy and capacity sales from the Illinois Plants
were to Exelon Generation under the power purchase agreements.

The
Exelon Generation power purchase agreement for coal-fired units was structured to provide significant capacity payments and lower energy payments which were primarily
designed to reimburse the cost of production. The agreement also provided for substantial capacity payments during the summer months. In the current wholesale energy market, energy prices are
substantially higher than the energy prices previously set forth in the agreement, but capacity payments are, and are expected to remain, substantially lower. As a result, the composition of EME's
revenues is expected to be significantly different in 2005 compared to 2004. EME's merchant generation is subject to significant volatility as described further in "Market Risk
ExposuresCommodity Price Risk."

Wholesale
energy prices at the Northern Illinois Hub (related to the Illinois Plants) have increased substantially in 2005 from the comparable market prices in 2004 driven largely by
increases in the market price of natural gas and oil. The average market price during the first quarter of 2005 at the Northern Illinois Hub (related to the Illinois Plants) increased to $39.68 per
MWhr compared to the 24-hour average market price at "Into ComEd" of $29.51 per MWhr during the first quarter of 2004.

Overview of EME's First Quarter Financial Performance from Continuing Operations

EME's financial performance in the first quarter of 2005 improved over the first quarter of 2004 with a number of important items affecting performance:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

This section discusses operating results for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004. Continuing operations include EME's Illinois Plants and Homer City facilities,
equity investments in power projects primarily located in California, corporate interest expense and general and administrative expenses. Discontinued operations include all of EME's international
operations, except the Doga project. This section also discusses the effect of new accounting pronouncements on EME's consolidated financial statements. It is organized under the following headings:

The increase in the first quarter income from continuing operations, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to stronger operating
performance at EME's Illinois Plants and EME's Homer City facilities, driven by higher merchant generation and wholesale energy prices. Also contributing to
the increase was higher income from Edison Mission Marketing & Trading and stronger operating results from the Big 4 projects. Partially offsetting these increases was a $3 million
after-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the repayment of junior subordinated debentures.

Results of Continuing Operations

Overview

EME operates in one line of business, electric power generation. Operating revenues are primarily derived from the sale of power generated from the Illinois
Plants and Homer City facilities. Intercompany interest expense and income between EME and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the following project results, except as described
below with respect to loans provided to EME from a wholly owned subsidiary, Midwest Generation. Equity in income from unconsolidated affiliates relates to energy projects accounted for under the
equity method. EME recognizes its proportional share of the income or loss of such entities.

EME uses the words "earnings" or "losses" in this section to describe income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes.

The
following section provides a summary of the operating results for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 together with discussions of the contributions by specific projects and of other
significant factors affecting these results.

these losses are expected to be offset by energy revenue recognized at market prices from the contracts that are scheduled to settle during 2005. The 2004 losses primarily represent the ineffective
portion of Midwest Generation's forward energy sales contracts which are derivatives that qualified as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Under SFAS No. 133, the portion of a cash flow
hedge that does not offset the change in value of the transaction being hedged, which is commonly referred to as the ineffective portion, is immediately recognized in earnings. Midwest Generation
recorded net losses of approximately $0.2 million and $3 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing the amount of cash flow hedges' ineffectiveness. The
ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges was primarily attributable to differences in energy prices between "Into ComEd" and delivery points outside "Into ComEd" in 2004 and differences in energy
prices between the aggregate Midwest Generation unit price and other delivery points in 2005.

The
earnings (losses) of the Illinois Plants included interest income of $28 million for the first quarters of both 2005 and 2004 related to loans to EME. In August 2000,
Midwest Generation, which owns or leases the Illinois Plants, entered into a sale-leaseback transaction of the Powerton-Joliet facilities. The proceeds from the sale of these facilities
were loaned to EME, which also provided a guarantee of the related lease obligations of Midwest Generation. The Powerton-Joliet sale-leaseback is recorded as an operating lease by EME for
accounting purposes.

Earnings from Homer City increased $23 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase was
primarily attributable to higher energy revenues in 2005 due to higher generation and average realized energy prices as compared to 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, an unplanned outage at Unit
1 contributed to lower generation and higher maintenance costs. Partially offsetting this increase was higher fuel costs attributable to higher fuel consumption, higher coal prices and higher priced
SO2 emission allowances. Included in fuel costs was $15 million and $6 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the net cost of emission
allowances. See "Market Risk ExposuresCommodity Price RiskEmission Allowances Price Risk" for more information regarding the price of SO2 allowances.

Losses
from price risk management activities increased $4 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase was attributable to the
ineffective portion of forward and futures contracts which are derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Homer City recorded net gains (losses) of approximately $(4)
million and $6 million during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing the amount of cash flow hedges'

ineffectiveness.
The ineffective gains (losses) from Homer City were primarily attributable to changes in the difference between energy prices at PJM West Hub (the delivery point under forward
contracts) and the energy prices at the delivery point where power generated by the Homer City facilities is delivered into the transmission system (referred to as the Homer City busbar). In addition,
Homer City recognized ineffective gains (losses) related to forward contracts that expired during the respective periods. Also included in net gains (losses) from price risk management activities were
gains (losses) of approximately $4 million and $(5) million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily related to futures contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS
No. 133. See "Market Risk ExposuresCommodity Price Risk" for more information regarding forward market prices.

Seasonal Disclosure

Due to higher electric demand resulting from warmer weather during the summer months, electric revenues generated from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City
facilities are generally higher during the third quarter of each year.

Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates

Big 4 Projects

Earnings from the Big 4 projects increased $9 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase in earnings was
primarily due to higher energy prices in 2005 over 2004, and from planned outages at the Sycamore Cogeneration plant and the Watson Cogeneration plant in March 2004.

The
earnings from the Big 4 projects included interest expense from Edison Mission Energy Funding of $3 million and $4 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

Sunrise

Losses from the Sunrise project decreased $1 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 decrease primarily
resulted from higher energy revenues attributable to increased dispatch.

March Point

Earnings from March Point increased $2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The first quarter increase in earnings
was primarily due to mark-to-market gains on fuel contracts entered into by March Point, which are derivatives that do not qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS
No. 133.

Doga

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," EME determined that
it was not the primary beneficiary of the Doga project and, accordingly, deconsolidated this project as of March 31, 2004. Revenues included in EME's consolidated statements of income from the
Doga project were $29 million for the first quarter of 2004. Earnings from the Doga project were $6 million for the first quarter of 2004. There were no revenues or earnings recorded on
a consolidated basis during 2005 due to the deconsolidation of the Doga project on March 31, 2004. Beginning April 1, 2004, EME recorded its interest in the Doga project on the equity
method basis of accounting. Earnings from the Doga project were $4 million for the first quarter of 2005.

29

---



Other

Earnings from other projects (consolidated subsidiaries) increased $23 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004,
representing gains from proprietary energy trading activities. The net gains from energy trading activities were the result of proprietary trading in the power markets in which EME has power plants.
Gains from proprietary energy trading activities in 2005 were higher than in 2004 due to more favorable market conditions (prices and volatility).

Seasonal Disclosure

EME's third quarter equity in income from its energy projects is materially higher than equity in income related to other quarters of the year due to warmer
weather during the summer months and because a number of EME's energy projects located on the West Coast have power sales contracts that provide for higher payments during the summer months.

Corporate and Regional Administrative and General Expenses

Administrative and general expenses increased $2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily
due to higher costs incurred in 2005 to implement EME's restructuring plan described under "Management's Overview."

Gain on Sale of Assets

Gain on sale of assets was $0 in the first quarter of 2005 and $43 million in the first quarter of 2004. Gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of
2004 consisted of a $47 million gain related to the sale of 100% of EME's stock of Edison Mission Energy Oil & Gas, which in turn holds minority interests in Four Star Oil & Gas,
and a $4 million loss related to the sale of EME's interest in Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, L.P.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $4 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $0 in the first quarter of 2004. Extinguishment of debt consisted of a
$4 million loss related to the early repayment of the junior subordinated debentures.

Income Taxes

EME's income tax provision from continuing operations was $34 million and $5 million during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Income
tax benefits are recognized pursuant to a tax-allocation agreement with Edison International. See "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesEME's Liquidity as a Holding
CompanyIntercompany Tax-Allocation Agreement." During the first quarter of

2004,
EME recorded a tax provision of $18 million relating to the sale of 100% of its stock in Edison Mission Energy Oil & Gas, which in turn holds interests in Four Star Oil &
Gas.

Results of Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $7 million and $46 million during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the
first quarter of 2005, EME completed the following sales:



The
aggregate after-tax gain on the sale of the aforementioned projects was $5 million.

During
the third quarter of 2004, EME reclassified its international activities which were then under contracts for sale as discontinued operations. Subsequently, EME completed the sale
of these operations, except for the Doga project, which is no longer under a contract for sale. While EME continues to seek to sell its ownership interest in this project, there is no assurance that
such efforts will result in a sale during the twelve-month period prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." As a result, EME reclassified the Doga project to continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2004, and, accordingly, it is reflected as part of continuing
operations for all periods presented.

Previously Reported Discontinued Operations

Lakeland Project

EME previously owned and operated a 220 MW combined cycle, natural gas-fired power plant located in the United Kingdom, known as the Lakeland project.
The ownership of the project was held through EME's indirect subsidiary, Lakeland Power Ltd., which sold power generated from the plant pursuant to a power sales agreement with Norweb
Energi Ltd., a subsidiary of TXU (UK) Holdings Limited (TXU UK) and an indirect subsidiary of TXU Europe Group plc (TXU Europe). EME ceased consolidating the activities of Lakeland
Power Ltd. in 2002, when an administrative receiver was appointed following a default by Norweb Energi Ltd. under the power sales agreement. Accordingly, EME accounts for its ownership
of Lakeland Power Ltd. on the cost method and earnings are recognized as cash is distributed from this entity.

As
previously disclosed, the administrative receiver of Lakeland Power Ltd. filed a claim against Norweb Energi Ltd. for termination of the power sales agreement. On
November 19, 2002, TXU UK and TXU Europe, together with a related entity, TXU Europe Energy Trading Limited (TXU Energy), entered into formal administration proceedings of their own in the
United Kingdom (similar to bankruptcy proceedings in the United States). On March 31, 2005, Lakeland Power Ltd. received £112 million (approximately
$210 million) from the TXU administrators, representing an interim payment of 97% of its accepted claim of £116 million (approximately $217 million). No income related
to this payment was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

From
the amount received, Lakeland Power Ltd., now controlled by a liquidator in the United Kingdom, has made a payment of £20 million (approximately
$38 million) to EME on April 7, 2005

31

---



comprised
of £7 million (approximately $13 million) for a secured loan which EME purchased from Lakeland Power Ltd.'s secured creditors in 2004 and certain unsecured
receivables from Lakeland Power Ltd., and £13 million (approximately $25 million) as a distribution to the EME subsidiary that owns the equity interest in Lakeland
Power Ltd. This amount will be recognized in income during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, Lakeland Power Ltd. will pay to EME's subsidiary that owns the equity
interest in Lakeland Power Ltd. the amount remaining after resolution of any remaining secured and unsecured creditor claims and payment of or provision for tax liabilities and the fees and
expenses associated with Lakeland Power Ltd.'s liquidation.

EME
estimates that the net proceeds after tax (including taxes due in the United States) resulting from the above payments will be approximately $100 million and the increase in
net income will be approximately $90 million (including the amounts discussed above during the second quarter of 2005). These proceeds may be received throughout 2005, and possibly 2006, as
Lakeland Power Ltd.'s liquidation progresses. Because the amounts required to settle outstanding claims and UK taxes have not been finalized and cannot be estimated precisely in the context of
the liquidation, the actual amount of net proceeds and increase in net income may vary materially from the above estimate.

See
"Edison Mission Energy and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 4. Discontinued Operations" for additional details related to discontinued
operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 46(R)

In December 2003, the FASB re-issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). The primary objective of the Interpretation is to provide guidance on the identification of, and financial reporting for, entities over which control is achieved through
means other than voting rights; such entities are known as variable interest entities. Under this Interpretation, the primary beneficiary is the variable interest holder that absorbs a majority of
expected losses; if no variable interest holder meets this criteria, then
it is the variable interest holder that receives a majority of the expected residual returns. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the variable interest entity unless specific exceptions
or exclusions are met. This Interpretation applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and applies to variable interest entities in which EME holds a variable interest
that it acquired before February 1, 2003. This Interpretation is effective for special purpose entities as of December 31, 2003 and for all other entities as of March 31, 2004.

Deconsolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with FIN 46R, EME determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of the Doga and Kwinana projects and, accordingly, deconsolidated these
projects as of March 31, 2004. The Kwinana project was sold on December 16, 2004 as part of the sale of international operations to IPM and, accordingly, is included in discontinued
operations.

Variable Interest Entities

EME completed a review of the application of FIN 46R to its subsidiaries and affiliates and concluded that it has variable interests in variable interest entities
as defined in this interpretation. The

following
table summarizes the variable interest entities held by continuing operations in which EME has a significant variable interest:

|Variable Interest Entity |  | Location        |  | Investment at

|Midway-Sunset            |  | Fellows, CA     |  |                              | 49 |                                      | 50% |            
|Kern River               |  | Bakersfield, CA |  |                              | 40 |                                      | 50% |            

EME has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary in these entities; accordingly, EME will account for its variable interests on the
equity method. EME's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is generally limited to its investment in these entities.

FASB Staff Position FIN 46(R)-5

In March 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position FIN 46(R)-5, "Implicit Variable Interests Under FIN 46" (FIN 46(R)-5). FIN
46(R)-5 states that a reporting entity should consider whether it holds an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity or in a potential variable interest entity. If the
aggregate of the explicit and implicit variable interests held by the reporting entity and its related parties would, if held by a single party, identify that party as the primary beneficiary, the
party within the group most closely associated with the variable interest entity should be deemed the primary beneficiary. EME is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 46(R)-5, but does
not believe it will change EME's previous determination under FIN 46R. The guidance of FIN 46(R)-5 is effective for the reporting period beginning after March 3, 2005.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)

In December 2004, the FASB reissued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and supersedes APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity receives
employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the entity or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of equity instruments. The standard will require EME to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and equity based compensation issued to employees in the statement
of income. The standard also requires that such transactions be accounted for using the fair value based method, thereby eliminating use of the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB
No. 25, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. EME currently uses the intrinsic value accounting method for stock-based compensation. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission announced a delay in the effective date for the standard to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. EME will implement the new standard effective
January 1, 2006 by applying the modified prospective transition method. The difference in expense between the two accounting methods is shown in "Edison Mission Energy and Subsidiaries Notes to
Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 10. Stock-Based Compensation."

FASB Staff Position FAS 109-1

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, 'Accounting for Income
Taxes,' to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production

33

---



Activities
Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004." The primary objective of this Position is to provide guidance on the application of SFAS No. 109 to the provision within the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that provides a tax deduction on qualified production activities under the provisions of Internal Code Section 199 effective for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2004. Under FAS 109-1, recognition of the tax deduction on qualified production activities, which include the production of electricity, is ordinarily reported
in the year it is earned. The deduction is calculated, and the limitations to the deduction are applied at the consolidated income tax reporting level by the parent of the affiliated group (Edison
International). The benefit of the deduction is then allocated among the members of the group in proportion to each member's respective amount, if any, of income from qualified production activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, EME does not expect the allocated benefit to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. EME is evaluating the effect that the tax
deduction will have in years subsequent to 2005.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Interpretation No. 47

In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" (FIN
47). FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated even though
uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. EME is required to adopt FIN 47 by the end of 2005. EME is currently assessing the impact of FIN 47 on its results of operations and
financial condition.

For a complete discussion of these issues, read this quarterly report in conjunction with EME's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004.

EME's Liquidity

At March 31, 2005, EME and its subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 billion and EME had available the full amount of borrowing
capacity under a $98 million corporate credit facility. EME's consolidated debt at March 31, 2005 was $3.5 billion. In addition, EME's subsidiaries had $5.0 billion of
long-term lease obligations that are due over periods ranging up to 30 years.

Midwest Generation Financing

On April 18, 2005, Midwest Generation completed a refinancing of indebtedness. The refinancing was effected through the amendment and restatement of
Midwest Generation's existing credit facility, originally entered into April 27, 2004. The existing credit facility had provided for a $700 million first priority secured institutional
term loan due in 2011 and a $200 million first priority secured revolving credit, working capital facility due in 2009.

The
refinancing consisted of, among other things, a repricing of Midwest Generation's existing term loan and a new $300 million revolving credit, working capital facility due in
2011. The previously existing $200 million working capital facility remains in place. Midwest Generation drew in full upon the new $300 million working capital facility at closing and
used the proceeds to pay down an equivalent portion of the existing term loan. After giving effect to the paydown, the term loan carries a lower interest rate of LIBOR + 2%. The maturity
date of the repriced term loan remains 2011. The new working capital facility, together with the existing working capital facility, shares first lien priority with the repriced term loan. The new
working capital facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.25%. The maturity date of the new working capital facility is 2011; however, the lenders can request to be fully repaid in
2010.

On
the day after the closing of the refinancing transaction, EME contributed $300 million in equity to Midwest Generation, and Midwest Generation used the proceeds of this equity
contribution to repay the loans outstanding under the new working capital facility. Thus, after completion of the actions outlined herein, Midwest Generation has $343 million outstanding under
its term loan and

35

---



$500 million
of working capital facilities available for working capital requirements, including credit support for hedging activities. As of April 18, 2005, approximately
$5 million was outstanding under these working capital facilities.

Under
the terms of Midwest Generation's credit agreement, Midwest Generation is permitted to distribute 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement). In addition, Midwest
Generation is permitted to distribute the remaining 25% of excess cash flow until the amount so distributed totals the $300 million equity contribution (made on April 19, 2005). Furthermore, Midwest
Generation is required to make a concurrent offer to repay debt in an amount equal to one-third of any distribution over the portion of such distribution allocated to the equity contribution.

Capital Expenditures

The estimated capital and construction expenditures of EME's subsidiaries are $65 million for the final three quarters of 2005 and $20 million and
$24 million for 2006 and 2007, respectively. Non-environmental expenditures relate to upgrades to dust collection/mitigation systems and the coal handling system, ash removal
improvements and component replacement projects. These expenditures are planned to be financed by existing subsidiary credit agreements, cash on hand or cash generated from their operations. Included
in the estimated expenditures are environmental expenditures of $18 million for 2005 and $1 million for 2006. In late 2004, Midwest Generation returned Will County Units 1 and 2 to
service. As part of returning these units to service, Midwest Generation expects to install environmental improvements of approximately $5 million in 2005. In addition, Homer City plans to
spend approximately $13 million in 2005 related to environmental selective catalytic reduction system improvements on all three units.

EME's Historical Consolidated Cash Flow

Consolidated Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities increased $14 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase was
partially attributable to tax-allocation payments of approximately $20 million paid to Edison International during the first quarter of 2005, compared to approximately
$9 million paid during the first quarter of 2004. For further discussion of the tax-allocation payments, see "EME's Liquidity as a Holding
CompanyIntercompany Tax-Allocation Agreement." Also contributing to the increase was $76 million in required deposits in 2005 compared to $32 million in 2004 for
EME's price risk management and trading activities. This increase resulted from an increase in forward market prices. Partially offsetting these increases were larger distributions from unconsolidated
affiliates in 2005, primarily attributable to the Big 4 projects, and operating income in 2005 versus an operating loss in 2004.

Consolidated Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities increased $529 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase was
primarily due to dividend payments made to MEHC of $360 million during the first quarter of 2005, compared to $0 during the first quarter of 2004. The increase was also due to repayment of the
junior subordinated debentures of $150 million in January 2005.

Consolidated Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities increased $206 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase was
primarily due to net sales of auction rate securities

36

---



of
$140 million in 2005, compared to net purchases of auction rate securities of $40 million in 2004. Proceeds of $124 million received in 2005 from the sale of EME's 25%
investment in the Tri Energy project and EME's 50% investment in the CBK project was mostly offset by proceeds of $118 million received in 2004 from the sale of EME's stock of Edison Mission
Energy Oil & Gas and the sale of EME's 50% partnership interest in the Brooklyn Navy Yard project.

EME's Credit Ratings

Overview

Credit ratings for EME and its subsidiaries, Midwest Generation, LLC and Edison Mission Marketing & Trading, are as follows:

Moody's Rating

S&P RatingEME

B1

B+Midwest Generation, LLC:First priority senior secured rating

Ba3

BB-Second priority senior secured rating

B1

BEdison Mission Marketing & Trading

Not Rated

B+


On March 17, 2005, Standard & Poor's raised the credit ratings of EME and Edison Mission Marketing & Trading to B+ from B.
Standard & Poor's also raised Midwest Generation's first priority senior secured rating to BB- from B+ and its second priority senior secured rating to B from B-. EME
cannot provide assurance that its current credit ratings or the credit ratings of its subsidiaries will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be
lowered. EME notes that these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold its securities and may be revised at any time by a rating agency.

EME
does not have any "rating triggers" contained in subsidiary financings that would result in EME being required to make equity contributions or provide additional financial support to
its subsidiaries.

The
credit ratings of EME are below investment grade and, accordingly, EME has historically provided collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit for the benefit of
counterparties for its price risk management and trading activities related to accounts payable and unrealized losses. Midwest Generation provides credit support for forward contracts entered into by
Edison Mission Marketing & Trading related to the Illinois Plants.

Edison
Mission Marketing & Trading has provided credit for the benefit of counterparties in the form of cash and letters of credit ($199 million as of March 31,
2005) for EME's price risk management and domestic trading activities (including Midwest Generation and Homer City) related to accounts payable and unrealized losses.

EME
expects to have higher merchant generation in 2005 than in previous years, as a result of the expiration in 2004 of the power purchase agreements between Midwest Generation and
Exelon Generation. The increased merchant generation will increase the potential for margin and collateral requirements. Changes in forward market prices and the strategies adopted for merchant
generation could further increase the need for credit support for price risk management activities related to EME's projects. Using common industry analytics, EME estimates that total margin and
collateral requirements to support price risk management could increase to approximately $400 million in 2005 if 50% of merchant generation from the Illinois Plants and Homer City facilities is
sold forward for one year and power prices subsequently increased. Midwest Generation is expected to have cash on hand

37

---



and
$500 million of working capital facilities that can be used to provide credit support for forward contracts entered into on behalf of the Illinois Plants. As of April 18, 2005,
approximately $5 million was outstanding under these facilities. In addition, EME is expected to have cash on hand and a $98 million working capital facility that can be used to provide
credit support for its subsidiaries. See "EME's Liquidity" for further discussion.

Credit Rating of Edison Mission Marketing & Trading

The Homer City sale-leaseback documents restrict EME Homer City Generation L.P.'s (EME Homer City's) ability to enter into trading activities, as
defined in the documents, with Edison Mission Marketing & Trading to sell forward the output of the Homer City facilities if Edison Mission Marketing & Trading does not have an
investment grade credit rating from Standard & Poor's or Moody's or, in the absence of those ratings, if it is not rated as investment grade pursuant to EME's internal credit scoring
procedures. These documents include a requirement that the counterparty to such transactions, and EME Homer City, if acting as seller to an unaffiliated third party, be investment grade. EME currently
sells all of the output from the Homer City facilities through Edison Mission Marketing & Trading, which has a below investment grade credit rating, and EME Homer City is not rated. Therefore,
in order for EME to continue to sell forward the output of the Homer City facilities, either: (1) EME must obtain consent from the sale-leaseback owner participant to permit EME
Homer City to sell directly into the market or through Edison Mission Marketing & Trading; or (2) Edison Mission Marketing & Trading must provide assurances of performance
consistent with the requirements of the sale-leaseback documents. EME has obtained a consent from the sale-leaseback owner participant that will allow EME Homer City to enter
into such sales, under specified conditions, through December 31, 2006. EME Homer City continues to be in compliance with the terms of the consent; however, the consent is revocable by the
sale-leaseback owner participant at any time. The sale-leaseback owner participant has not indicated that it intends to revoke the consent; however, there can be no assurance
that it will not do so in the future. Revocation of the consent would not affect trades between Edison Mission Marketing & Trading and EME Homer City that had been entered into while the
consent was still in effect. EME is permitted to sell the output of the Homer City facilities into the spot market at any time. See "Market Risk ExposuresCommodity Price
RiskEnergy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Homer City Facilities."

EME's Liquidity as a Holding Company

Overview

At March 31, 2005, EME had corporate cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion to meet liquidity needs. See "EME's Liquidity." EME had
no borrowings outstanding or letters of credit outstanding on the $98 million secured line of credit at March 31, 2005. Cash distributions from EME's subsidiaries and partnership
investments, and unused capacity under its corporate credit facility represent EME's major sources of liquidity to meet its cash requirements. The timing and amount of distributions from EME's
subsidiaries may be affected by many factors beyond its control. See "Dividend Restrictions in Major Financings."

EME's
secured corporate credit facility provides credit available in the form of cash advances or letters of credit. In addition to the interest payments, EME pays a commitment fee of
0.50% on the unutilized portion of the facility. EME has agreed to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum recourse debt to recourse capital ratio (as such ratios are defined in the
credit agreement). At March 31, 2005, EME met both these ratio tests.

38

---



As security for its obligations under its new corporate credit facility, EME pledged its ownership interests in the holding companies through which it owns its interests in the Illinois
Plants, the Homer City facilities, the Westside projects and the Sunrise project. EME also granted a security interest in an account into which all distributions received by it from the Big 4 projects
will be deposited. EME is free to use these distributions unless and until an event of default occurs under its corporate credit facility.

At
March 31, 2005, EME also had available $70 million under Midwest Generation EME, LLC's $100 million letter of credit facility with Citibank, N.A., as Issuing
Bank, that expires in December 2006. Under the terms of this letter of credit facility, Midwest Generation EME is required to deposit cash in a bank account in order to cash collateralize any
letters of credit that may be outstanding under the facility. The bank account is pledged to the Issuing Bank. Midwest Generation EME owns 100% of Edison Mission Midwest Holdings, which in turn owns
100% of Midwest Generation, LLC.

Historical Distributions Received By EME

The following table is presented as an aid in understanding the cash flow of EME's domestic operations and its various subsidiary holding companies which depend
on distributions from subsidiaries and affiliates to fund general and administrative costs and debt service costs of recourse debt.

Intercompany Tax-Allocation Agreement

EME is included in the consolidated federal and combined state income tax returns of Edison International and is eligible to participate in
tax-allocation payments with other subsidiaries of Edison International in circumstances where domestic tax losses are incurred. The right of EME to receive and the amount and timing of
tax-allocation payments is dependent on the inclusion of EME in the consolidated income tax returns of Edison International and its subsidiaries and other factors, including the
consolidated taxable income of Edison International and its subsidiaries, the amount of net operating losses and other tax items of EME, its subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries of Edison
International and specific procedures regarding allocation of state taxes. EME receives tax-allocation payments for tax losses when and to the extent that the consolidated Edison
International group generates sufficient taxable income in order to be able to utilize EME's tax losses in the consolidated

39

income
tax returns for Edison International and its subsidiaries. Based on the application of the factors cited above, EME is obligated during periods it generates taxable income to make payments
under the tax-allocation agreements.

Dividend Restrictions in Major Financings

General

Each of EME's direct or indirect subsidiaries is organized as a legal entity separate and apart from EME and its other subsidiaries. Assets of EME's subsidiaries
are not available to satisfy EME's obligations or the obligations of any of its other subsidiaries. However, unrestricted cash or other assets that are available for distribution may, subject to
applicable law and the terms of financing arrangements of the parties, be advanced, loaned, paid as dividends or otherwise distributed or contributed to EME or to its subsidiary holding companies.

Key Ratios of EME's Principal Subsidiaries Affecting Dividends

Set forth below are key ratios of EME's principal subsidiaries for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005:

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Contractual Obligations

Fuel Supply Contracts

Midwest Generation has entered into additional fuel purchase commitments with various third-party suppliers during the first three months of 2005. These
additional commitments are currently estimated to be $8 million for 2005, $8 million for 2006, $24 million for 2007, $25 million for 2008, and $53 million for 2009.

Fuel Supply Dispute

Beginning in 2004, EME Homer City experienced interruptions of supply under two agreements with Unionvale Coal Company and Genesis, Inc. Unionvale and
Genesis claimed that alleged geologic conditions at the Genesis No. 17 Mine in Pennsylvania, which is one source of coal under these multi-source coal contracts, constituted force majeure and
excused full contract performance. These two agreements together provide for the delivery to EME Homer City of 1,290,000 tons of coal, which represents 20% of EME Homer City's clean coal requirements
in 2005 and 2006, and approximately 10% in 2007.

On
December 21, 2004, Unionvale and Genesis gave notice of termination of one of the agreements, which was scheduled to run through December 2007, under a provision that
they claim allows either party to the agreement to terminate if an event of force majeure lasts 30 days or more. Unionvale and Genesis allege that the geologic problems encountered at the one
mine have continued beyond a 30-day period and excuse their obligation to deliver coal under the agreement. The parties' second agreement with a term through December 2006 does not
contain the same termination provision, and the suppliers have sought contract modifications to the term, quantity, quality and price provisions of this agreement. On April 26, 2005, Unionvale
and Genesis informed EME Homer City that Genesis No. 17 Mine has been shut down and that no delivery of coal from that mine will be made under either agreement.

EME
Homer City disputes the force majeure claim and the suppliers' reliance upon this claim to excuse their performance under the multi-source coal agreements. EME Homer City has filed
suit against Unionvale and Genesis in Pennsylvania state court seeking, among other things, equitable relief by way of an order requiring the defendants to fulfill their contractual obligations and
other monetary relief. The parties are currently engaged in mediation in an effort to resolve the contractual dispute. Contracts have been awarded and inventory strategies adjusted to reflect and
offset the delivery shortfall for 2005. As of March 31, 2005, EME Homer City had not contracted for the resultant potential shortfalls in 2006 and 2007.

Coal Transportation Agreements

Midwest Generation has additional coal transportation commitments during the first three months of 2005. Based on the committed coal volumes in the fuel supply
contracts mentioned above, these commitments are currently estimated to be $16 million for 2005, $15 million for 2006, $38 million for 2007, $37 million for 2008, and
$74 million for 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

For a discussion of EME's off-balance sheet transactions, refer to "Off-Balance Sheet Transactions" on page 74 of EME's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no significant developments with respect to EME's off-balance sheet transactions that affect
disclosures presented in EME's annual report.

Environmental Matters and Regulations

For a discussion of EME's environmental matters, refer to "Environmental Matters and Regulations" on page 77 of EME's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth therein. There have been no

41

---



significant
developments with respect to environmental matters specifically affecting EME since the filing of EME's annual report, except as follows:

On
March 15, 2005, the US EPA issued the first-ever federal rule to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The Clean
Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) creates a market-based cap-and-trade program that will reduce nationwide utility emissions of mercury in two distinct phases. In the first phase of the
program, which will come into effect in 2010, the annual cap is 38 tons and emissions will be reduced by taking advantage of "co-benefit" reductions; that is, mercury reductions achieved
by reducing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions under the Clean Air Interstate Rule. In the second phase, due in 2018, coal-fired power plants will be subject to a second annual
cap, which will reduce emissions to 15 tons upon full implementation. States may join the trading program by adopting the CAMR model trading rule in state regulations, or they may adopt regulations
that mirror the necessary components of the model trading rule. States are not required to adopt a cap-and-trade program and may promulgate alternative regulations, such as
command and control regulations, that are equivalent or more stringent than the CAMR's suggested cap-and-trade program. Any program adopted by a state must be approved by the
US EPA.

Litigation
has already been filed challenging the US EPA's decision to withdraw its previous finding that mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating units were
required to be regulated pursuant to Section 112 of the federal Clean Air Act, which would have required technology-based limitations on mercury emissions. It is expected that litigation will
be filed to challenge the CAMR once this rule is published in the Federal Register. As a result of the anticipated litigation, the CAMR rules may change in terms of substance and currently proposed
timetables.

If
EME were to implement environmental control technology at its Homer City facilities instead of purchasing allowances to comply with the CAMR and other Clean Air Act developments
described in "Environmental Matters and RegulationsFederalUnited States of America" on page 79 of EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004, it currently estimates capital expenditures for such improvements to be approximately $350 million to $400 million in the 2006-2010 timeframe.
However, because the mercury state implementation plans are not due until October 31, 2006 and such plans may not adopt the CAMR's cap-and-trade program, and because EME
cannot predict the outcome of the expected legal challenge to the CAMR and the US EPA's decision not to
regulate mercury emissions pursuant to Section 112 of the federal Clean Air Act, the full impact of this legislation currently cannot be assessed. EME's approach to meeting these obligations
will continue to be based upon on ongoing assessment of the federal requirements and market conditions.

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Introduction

EME's primary market risk exposures are associated with the sale of electricity from and the procurement of fuel for its uncontracted generating plants. These
market risks arise from fluctuations in electricity and fuel prices, emission allowances, transmission rights, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. EME manages these risks in part by
using derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. See "Management's Overview; Critical Accounting Estimates" and "Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesEME's Credit Ratings" for a discussion of market developments and their impact on EME's credit and the credit of its counterparties.

Commodity Price Risk

General Overview

EME's revenues and results of operations of its merchant power plants will depend upon prevailing market prices for capacity, energy, ancillary services, emission
allowances or credits, coal, natural gas and fuel oil, and associated transportation costs in the market areas where EME's merchant plants are located. Among the factors that influence the price of
power in these markets are:

A
discussion of commodity price risk for the Illinois Plants and Homer City facilities is set forth below.

Energy Price RiskIntroduction

Electric power generated at EME's merchant plants is generally sold under bilateral arrangements with utilities and power marketers under short-term
transactions with terms of two years or less or to the PJM and/or the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) markets. As discussed further below, beginning in 2003, EME has been selling a
significant portion of the power generated from its Illinois Plants into wholesale power markets, including PJM since May 1, 2004.

EME's
merchant operations expose it to commodity price risk, which represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. Commodity
price risks are actively monitored by a risk management committee to ensure compliance with EME's risk management policies. Policies are in place which define risk tolerance, and procedures exist
which allow for monitoring of all commitments and positions with regular reviews by EME's risk management
committee. Despite this, there can be no assurance that all risks have been accurately identified, measured and/or mitigated.

In
addition to the prevailing market prices, EME's ability to derive profits from the sale of electricity will be affected by the cost of production, including costs incurred to comply
with environmental regulations. The costs of production of the units vary and, accordingly, depending on market conditions, the amount of generation that will be sold from the units is expected to
vary from unit to unit.

EME
performs a "value at risk" analysis in its daily business to identify, measure, monitor and control its overall market risk exposure in respect of its Illinois Plants, its Homer City
facilities, and its trading positions. The use of value at risk allows management to aggregate overall commodity risk, compare risk on a consistent basis and identify the risk factors. Value at risk
measures the possible loss over a given time interval, under normal market conditions, at a given confidence level. Given the inherent limitations of value at risk and relying on a single risk
measurement tool, EME supplements this approach with the use of stress testing and worst-case scenario analysis for key risk factors, as well as stop loss limits and counterparty credit
exposure limits.

Hedging Strategy

EME intends to hedge a portion of its merchant portfolio risk through Edison Mission Marketing & Trading. To the extent that EME does not hedge its
merchant portfolio, the unhedged portion will be subject to the risks and benefits of spot market price movements. The extent to which EME will hedge its market price risk through forward
over-the-counter sales depends on several factors. First, EME will evaluate over-the-counter market prices to determine whether sales at forward

44

market
prices are sufficiently attractive compared to assuming the risk associated with spot market sales. Second, EME's ability to enter into hedging transactions will depend upon its, Midwest
Generation's and Edison Mission Marketing & Trading's credit capacity and upon the over-the-counter forward sales markets having sufficient liquidity to enable EME to
identify counterparties who are able and willing to enter into hedging transactions. In the case of forward sales of generation and capacity from the Illinois Plants, Midwest Generation is permitted
to use its new working capital facility and cash on hand to provide credit support for forward contracts entered into by Edison Mission Marketing & Trading for capacity and energy generation of
the Illinois Plants under an energy services agreement between the Midwest Generation and Edison Mission Marketing & Trading. Utilization of this credit facility in support of such forward
contracts is expected to provide additional liquidity support for implementation of EME's contracting strategy for the Illinois Plants. In the case of forward sales of generation and capacity from the
Homer City facilities, credit support is provided by EME pursuant to intercompany arrangements between it and Edison Mission Marketing & Trading. See "Credit Risk," below.

Energy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Illinois Plants

Pre-2005 Merchant Sales

Energy generated at the Illinois Plants was historically sold under three power purchase agreements between Midwest Generation and Exelon Generation Company,
under which Exelon Generation was obligated to make capacity payments for the plants under contract and energy payments for the energy produced by these plants and taken by Exelon Generation. The
power purchase agreements began on December 15, 1999. The capacity payments provided the units under contract with revenue for fixed charges, and the energy payments compensated those units for
all, or a portion of, variable costs of production. The three power purchase agreements with Exelon Generation had all been terminated by December 31, 2004.

To
the extent that energy and capacity from the Illinois Plants was not sold under the power purchase agreements with Exelon Generation, it was sold on a wholesale basis through a
combination of bilateral agreements, forward energy sales and spot market sales. Approximately 60% of the energy and capacity sales from the Illinois Plants in the first quarter of 2004 were made on a
wholesale basis outside of the power purchase agreements.

Prior
to May 1, 2004, the primary markets available to Midwest Generation for wholesale sales of electricity from the Illinois Plants were direct "wholesale customers" and broker
arranged "over-the-counter customers." During this period, the most liquid over-the-counter markets in the Midwest region were for sales into the
control area of Cinergy (which, as of April 1, 2005, became a locational marginal pricing location in the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, or MISO) and, to a lesser extent, for
sales into the control areas of Commonwealth Edison and American Electric Power, referred to as "Into ComEd" and "Into AEP," respectively. "Into ComEd" and "Into AEP" were bilateral markets for the
sale or purchase of electrical energy for future delivery. Due to geographic proximity, "Into ComEd" was the primary market for Midwest Generation.

Effective
May 1, 2004, the transmission system of Commonwealth Edison was placed under the control of PJM as the Northern Illinois control area, and on October 1, 2004, the
transmission system of AEP was integrated into PJM, which linked eastern PJM and the Northern Illinois control areas of the PJM system and improved access from the Illinois Plants into the broader PJM
market. Under the PJM tariff, Midwest Generation is no longer required to arrange and pay separately for transmission when making sales to wholesale buyers located within the PJM system.

45

---



Following
the expansion of the PJM system described above, sales of electricity from the Illinois Plants have been made on the basis of bilateral and spot sales into PJM, with spot sales
being based on locational marginal pricing. These sales into the expanded PJM, the primary market currently available to the Illinois Plants, replaced sales previously made as bilateral sales and spot
sales "Into ComEd" and "Into AEP." See "Regulatory Matters" in EME's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a more detailed discussion of
developments regarding Commonwealth Edison's joining PJM, and "Basis Risk" below for a discussion of locational marginal pricing.

2005 Merchant Sales

Beginning on January 1, 2005, electric power generated at the Illinois Plants is sold under bilateral arrangements with domestic utilities and power
marketers pursuant to transactions which generally have terms of two years or less, or to the PJM market. The PJM pool has a short-term market, which establishes an hourly clearing price.
The Illinois Plants are situated in the new expanded western PJM control area and are physically connected to high-voltage transmission lines serving this market.

The average price/MWhr for Homer City's hedge position is based on PJM West Hub. Energy prices at the PJM West Hub have averaged 5% higher than
energy prices at the Homer City busbar during the past twelve months. See "Basis Risk" below for a discussion of the difference.

Basis Risk

Sales made from the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities in the real-time or day-ahead market receive the actual spot prices at
the busbars (delivery points) of the individual plants. In order to mitigate price risk from changes in spot prices at the individual plant busbars, EME may enter into forward contracts with
counterparties for energy to be delivered in future periods. Currently, there is not a liquid market for entering into forward contracts at the individual plant busbars. A liquid market does exist for
a delivery point known as the PJM West Hub in the case of Homer City and for a delivery point known as the Northern Illinois Hub in the case of the Illinois Plants. EME's price risk management
activities use these delivery points to enter into forward contracts. EME's revenues with respect to such forward contracts include:



Under
the PJM market design, locational marginal pricing (sometimes referred to as LMP), which establishes hourly prices at specific locations throughout PJM by considering factors
including generator bids, load requirements, transmission congestion and losses, can cause the price of a specific delivery point to be raised or lowered relative to other locations depending on how
the point is impacted by transmission constraints. During the past 12 months, transmission congestion in PJM has resulted in prices at the PJM West Hub (the primary trading hub in PJM for the
Homer City facilities) being higher than those at the Homer City busbar by an average of 5%. By contrast, during the past 12 months, transmission congestion in PJM has not resulted in prices at
the Northern Illinois Hub being significantly different from those at the individual busbars of the Illinois Plants.

By
entering into forward contracts using the PJM West Hub and the Northern Illinois Hub as the delivery points, EME is exposed to "basis risk," which occurs when forward contracts are
executed on a different basis (PJM West Hub for Homer City and the Northern Illinois Hub for the Illinois Plants) than the actual point of delivery (the individual plant busbars). In order to mitigate
basis risk resulting from forward contracts using the PJM West Hub as the delivery point, EME has participated in purchasing financial transmission rights in PJM, and may continue to do so in the
future. A financial transmission right is a financial instrument that entitles the holder thereof to receive actual spot prices at one point of delivery and pay prices at another point of delivery
that are pegged to prices at the first point of delivery, plus or minus a fixed amount. Accordingly, EME's price risk management activities include using financial transmission rights alone or in
combination with forward contracts to manage the risks associated with changes in prices within the PJM market.

Coal Price Risk

The Illinois Plants use approximately 20 million tons of coal annually, primarily obtained from the Southern Powder River Basin of Wyoming. In addition,
the Homer City facilities use approximately 5 million tons of coal annually, obtained from mines located near the facilities in Pennsylvania. Coal purchases are made under a variety of supply
agreements typically ranging from one year to six years in

length.
The following table summarizes the percent of expected coal requirements by year that are under contract at March 31, 2005.

EME is subject to price risk for purchases of coal that are not under contract. Prices of Northeast coal have risen considerably in 2004. The
price of Northern Appalachian coal with 13,000 British thermal units (Btu) content and 3.0 SO2 MMBtu content for delivery in the remaining three quarters of 2005 has fluctuated between $37.33 per ton
and $57.55 per ton in the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2005, with a price of $53.67 per ton at March 31, 2005. This increase in price has been largely attributed to greater demand
from domestic power producers and increased international shipments partly driven by a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar. The price of the Powder River Basin coal at the mine with 8,800 Btu
content and 0.8 SO2 MMBtu content for delivery in the remaining three quarters of 2005 has fluctuated between $6.37 per ton and $7.99 per ton in the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2005,
with a price of $7.26 per ton at March 31, 2005. See "Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesContractual ObligationsFuel Supply Dispute" for more information regarding fuel supply interruptions and the dispute with two suppliers.

Emission Allowances Price Risk

Under the federal Acid Rain Program (which requires electric generating stations to hold sulfur dioxide allowances) and Illinois and Pennsylvania regulations
implementing the federal NOx SIP Call requirement, EME purchases (or sells) emission allowances based on the amounts required for actual generation in excess of (or less than) the amounts allocated
under these programs. As part of the acquisition of the Illinois Plants and the Homer City facilities, EME obtained the rights to the emission allowances that have been or are allocated to these
plants.

The
price of emission allowances, particularly SO2 allowances issued through the US EPA Acid Rain Program, also increased substantially during the past eighteen months. The average price
of purchased SO2 allowances increased to $692 per ton during the first quarter of 2005 from $253 per ton during the first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, EME Homer City purchased
13,089 tons of SO2 allowances at an EPA auction for an average price of $692 per ton. These developments have been attributed to reduced numbers of both allowance sellers and prior vintage allowances.

See
"Liquidity and Capital ResourcesEnvironmental Matters and Regulations" for a discussion of environmental regulations related to emissions.

Credit Risk

In conducting EME's price risk management and trading activities, EME contracts with a number of utilities, energy companies, financial institutions, and other
companies, collectively referred to as counterparties. In the event a counterparty were to default on its trade obligation, EME would be exposed to the risk of possible loss associated with
re-contracting the product at a price different from the original contracted price if the non-performing counterparty were unable to pay the resulting liquidated damages owed
to EME. Further, EME would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable accrued for products delivered prior to the time such counterparty defaulted.

To
manage credit risk, EME looks at the risk of a potential default by counterparties. Credit risk is measured by the loss that would be incurred if counterparties failed to perform
pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. EME measures, monitors and mitigates, to the extent possible, credit

50

---



risk.
To mitigate counterparty risk, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral when deemed necessary. EME also takes other
appropriate steps to limit or lower credit exposure. Processes have also been established to determine and monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties. EME manages the credit risk on the portfolio
based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the
process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements including master netting agreements. A risk management committee regularly reviews the credit quality of EME's
counterparties. Despite this, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be wholly successful in mitigating credit risk or that collateral pledged will be adequate.

EME
measures credit risk exposure from counterparties of its merchant energy activities as either: (i) the sum of 60 days of accounts receivable, current fair value of open
positions, and a credit value at risk, or (ii) the sum of delivered and unpaid accounts receivable and the current fair value of open positions. EME's subsidiaries enter into master agreements
and other arrangements in conducting price risk management and trading activities which typically provide for a right of setoff in the event of bankruptcy or default by the counterparty. Accordingly,
EME's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on net exposure under these agreements. At March 31, 2005, the amount of exposure, broken down by the credit ratings of EME's
counterparties was as follows:

EME's plants owned by unconsolidated affiliates in which EME owns an interest sell power under long-term power purchase agreements.
Generally, each plant sells its output to one counterparty. Accordingly, a default by a counterparty under a long-term power purchase agreement, including a default as a result of a
bankruptcy, would likely have a material adverse effect on the operations of such power plant.

For
the three months ended March 31, 2005, one customer accounted for 11% of EME's consolidated operating revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, one customer
accounted for 14% and a second customer, Exelon Generation, accounted for 29% of EME's consolidated operating revenues. For more information on Exelon Generation see "Commodity Price
RiskEnergy Price Risk Affecting Sales from the Illinois PlantsPre-2005 Merchant Sales."

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate changes affect the cost of capital needed to operate EME's projects. EME mitigates the risk of interest rate fluctuations by arranging for fixed
rate financing or variable rate financing with interest rate swaps, interest rate options or other hedging mechanisms for a number of its project financings. The fair market values of
long-term fixed interest rate obligations are subject to interest rate risk. The fair market value of EME's total long-term obligations (including current portion) was
$3.9 billion at March 31, 2005, compared to the carrying value of $3.5 billion.

Energy Trading Derivative Financial Instruments

EME's risk management and trading operations are conducted by its subsidiary, Edison Mission Marketing & Trading. As a result of a number of industry and
credit-related factors, Edison Mission Marketing & Trading has minimized its price risk management and trading activities not related to EME's power plants or investments in energy projects. To
the extent Edison Mission Marketing & Trading engages in trading activities, Edison Mission Marketing & Trading seeks to manage price risk and to create stability of future income by
selling electricity in the forward markets and, to a lesser degree, to generate profit from price volatility of electricity and fuels by buying and selling these commodities in wholesale markets. EME
generally balances forward sales and purchase contracts and manages its exposure through a value at risk analysis as described under "Commodity Price Risk."
