~~Item 5. Other Events. Lodestar Bankruptcy~~ Indiantown Cogeneration, L.P. ~~(Partnership)~~credit ~~has~~ratings a coal purchase agreement (the “Coal Purchase Agreement”) with Lodestar Energy, Inc. (LEI) pursuant to which LEI supplies all of the coal for the Partnership’s 330 megawatt (net) pulverized coal-fired cogeneration facility located in Indiantown, Florida and disposes of ash produced at that facility. Power produced from the facility is sold to Florida Power and Light under a long-term power purchase agreement. As previously reported, on April 27, 2001, an order for relief was entered in the Involuntary Petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with respect to LEI and its parent, Lodestar Holdings Inc. (LHI), in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Lexington, Kentucky. Since that time, LHI and LEI have been operating their business as “debtors in possession.” On October 3, 2001, LEI filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to reject the Coal Purchase Agreement. With the goal of avoiding rejection, the Partnership continued negotiating with LEI to modify the Coal Purchase Agreement. LEI requested and was granted a deferral of the scheduled hearing date for its motion. The Partnership and LEI have subsequently agreed to and executed Amendment No. 3 to the Coal Purchase Agreement effective October 16, 2001 (the “Amendment”), which is subject to satisfaction of two conditions. First, the Partnership must satisfy by December 12, 2001 indenture covenants that require the Partnership to certify that the Amendment is not reasonably expected to have, or to materially increase the likelihood of a future, material adverse effect (as defined in the indentures) and second, thereafter the U.S. Bankruptcy Court must approve the Amendment. The covenant further provides that the Independent Engineer (as defined in the indentures) must not, within thirty days of receiving the Partnership’s certificate to that effect, disagree with the Partnership’s certification. The principal change effected in the Coal Purchase Agreement by the Amendment is an increase from $26.632 to $34.00 per ton in the base coal price for coal delivered after October 16, 2001, with a 2% additional increase in the base coal price effective October 16, 2002. The transportation and administrative fees the Partnership is required to pay remain unchanged, but will continue to be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Coal Purchase Agreement. The Amendment also includes market price reopener provisions, beginning October 16, 2003. In the event that the parties are unable to agree at that time on a new contract price for coal and price adjustment mechanism, either party will have the right in its sole discretion and for any reason to terminate the Coal Purchase Agreement. LEI is obligated to make deliveries on a specified schedule that will build a 30 day stockpile of coal by February 28, 2002. The Amendment includes provisions that shorten payment terms for LEI’s invoices and give the Partnership greater flexibility on the amount of ash the Partnership is required to send to LEI for disposal. In addition, the Amendment allows LEI to grant to third parties a mortgage and security interest in its coal reserves that is not subordinated to the Partnership’s rights under the Coal Purchase Agreement. But LEI is required to certify annually to the Partnership that LEI owns or controls adequate reserves to meet LEI’s obligations under the Coal Purchase Agreement. The Partnership believes the changes effected by the Amendment are in the best interests of the Project, the Senior Secured Parties and the holders of the Partnership’s senior secured bonds. Accordingly, the Partnership intends to take action promptly to satisfy the applicable indenture covenants and to cooperate with LEI in obtaining the required bankruptcy court approval. Other than with respect to developments that may have a material impact on the Partnership or its business operations beyond those possible as a result of the developments described herein, the Partnership is under no obligation nor does it intend to continuously provide updates of the LEI bankruptcy proceedings. However, copies of all pleadings filed with the Bankruptcy Court are available from the office of the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court.downgrade

On June 13, 2003, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) announced its ~~SIGNATURES~~decision to downgrade the senior secured debt rating of Indiantown Cogeneration, L.P. (the “Partnership”) to Ba1 from Baa3. The rating action concludes the review for possible downgrade that was initiated on October 8, 2002. The rating outlook is negative. The Partnership owns and operates a 330 net mega-watt coal-fired cogeneration facility in southwestern Martin County, Florida. Output from the facility is sold to Florida Power & Light Company under a long-term power purchase agreement.

Moody’s stated that this rating action reflects the project’s weakened financial profile, particularly due to problems with operating performance, including outages during 2001 and 2002. Moody’s further stated that while Indiantown anticipates financial improvement in the next few years, prospective ~~Pursuant~~coverage ratios are anticipated to ~~the requirements of~~be in the ~~Securities Exchange~~1.30x ~~Act~~to of1.40x ~~1934~~range, below the ~~registrant has~~level ~~duly caused this report to~~that would be ~~signed on~~ ~~its behalf~~consistent bywith ~~the undersigned~~a ~~hereunto~~Baa3 ~~duly~~rating ~~authorized~~for a coal-fired project.

The rating action further considers that the Partnership will be required to use any excess cash to fund or repay third party obligations over the next several years relating to three letters of credit, the largest of which is used to support the project’s six-month debt reserve of approximately $29 million. To date, a deposit of $1 million has been made into the Debt Service Reserve Account. Moody’s expressed concerns that any forced outage of the plant could undercut the cash flow generation that is expected to be the source of this funding. Moody’s did note that the Partnership is also in the process of seeking replacement letters of credit, which if successful, would address this funding concern. To the extent that the Partnership is successful in securing replacement letters of credit, Moody’s stated that the rating outlook could stabilize.

The negative outlook incorporates the involvement of PG&E National Energy Group, Inc. (NEG, Inc.), as operator and as a partial owner. Moody’s does not expect that an NEG, Inc. bankruptcy filing would result in a bankruptcy for the Partnership due to its ownership structure, and the separateness of management, operations, and cash flow.

This downgrade by Moody’s does not trigger any requirements under the Partnership’s financing documents.
