REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Stockholders and the Board of Directors
CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of CE Casecnan Water and Energy 
Company, Inc. (a company in the development stage) as of March 31, 1997, and 
the related statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 
and the period from inception (September 21, 1994) to March 31, 1997, and cash 
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the period from inception 
(September 21, 1994) to March 31, 1997. The financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying 
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons 
responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in 
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally 
accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the 
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should 
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 
of America.

We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 
United States of America, the balance sheet of CE Casecnan Water and Energy 
Company, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations 
for the year ended December 31, 1996, changes in stockholders' equity for the 
period from date of inception (September 21, 1994) to December 31, 1996 and 
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, and for the period from 
inception (September 21, 1994) to December 31, 1996 (not presented separately 
herein) and, in our report dated January 16, 1997, we expressed an unqualified 
opinion on those financial statements.

1.	General:

In the opinion of management of CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc. ("CE 
Casecnan" or the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements 
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) 
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1997 and the 
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and the 
period from inception (September 21, 1994) to March 31, 1997, and cash flows 
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the period from 
inception (September 21, 1994) to March 31, 1997.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  

2.	Other Footnote Information:

Reference is made to the Company's December 31, 1996 audited financial 
statements included in Form 10-K dated March 28, 1997 that included information 
necessary or useful to the understanding of the Company's business and 
financial statement presentations.  In particular, the Company's significant 
accounting policies and practices were presented as Note 3 to the financial 
statements included in that report.

3.  Commitments and Contingencies

In November 1995, the Company closed the financing and commenced construction 
of the Casecnan Project, a combined irrigation and 150 net MW hydroelectric 
power generation project (the "Casecnan Project") located in the central part 
of the island of Luzon in the Republic of the Philippines.

CE Casecnan is presently indirectly owned as to approximately 35% of its 
equity by CalEnergy Company, Inc. and approximately 35% indirectly owned by 
Peter Kiewit Sons' Inc.  CE Casecnan financed a portion of the costs of the 
Casecnan Project through the issuance of $125,000 of its 11.45% Senior Secured 
Series A Notes due 2005 and $171,500 of its 11.95% Senior Secured Series B 
Bonds due 2010 and $75,000 of its Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2002, 
pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 27, 1995, as amended to date.

The Casecnan Project was being constructed pursuant to a fixed-price, date-
certain, turnkey construction contract (the "Hanbo Contract") on a joint and 
several basis by Hanbo Corporation ("Hanbo") and Hanbo Engineering and 
Construction Co., Ltd. ("HECC"), both of which are

Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

South Korean corporations.  As of May 7, 1997, CE Casecnan terminated the 
Hanbo Contract and CE Casecnan has entered into a new engineering, procurement 
and construction contract to complete the construction of the Casecnan 
Project. The Hanbo Contract has been terminated because of events of default 
under the contract including the fact that both HECC and Hanbo are insolvent 
and have filed for court receivership protection in the Republic of Korea.  In 
connection with the Hanbo Contract termination, CE Casecnan made a draw under 
the irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by Korea First Bank ("KFB") as 
security under the Hanbo Contract to pay for certain transition costs and 
other presently ascertainable damages under the Hanbo Contract.  If KFB were 
to fail to honor its obligations under the Casecnan letter of credit, such 
action could have a material adverse effect on the Casecnan Project and CE 
Casecnan.

CE Casecnan entered into a new turnkey engineering, procurement and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
________________________________


Results of Operations:

The Company is in the construction stage and has not yet started commercial 
operations. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $4,504 
consisting of interest income from cash received from bond proceeds and equity 
contributions.  For the three months ended March 31, 1997 interest expense for 
the three months was $11,442, interest capitalized was $1,746 and amortization 
of bond issue costs was $263 which relate to the notes and bonds payable issued 
by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

In November 1995, the Company closed the financing and commenced construction 
of the Casecnan Project, a combined irrigation and 150 net MW hydroelectric 
power generation project (the "Casecnan Project") located in the central part 
of the island of Luzon in the Republic of the Philippines.

CE Casecnan is presently indirectly owned as to approximately 35% of its 
equity by CalEnergy Company, Inc. and approximately 35% indirectly owned by 
Peter Kiewit Sons' Inc.  CE Casecnan financed a portion of the costs of the 
Casecnan Project through the issuance of $125,000 of its 11.45% Senior Secured 
Series A Notes due 2005 and $171,500 of its 11.95% Senior Secured Series B 
Bonds due 2010 and $75,000 of its Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2002, 
pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 27, 1995, as amended to date.

The Casecnan Project was being constructed pursuant to a fixed-price, date-
certain, turnkey construction contract (the "Hanbo Contract") on a joint and 
several basis by Hanbo Corporation ("Hanbo") and Hanbo Engineering and 
Construction Co. Ltd. ("HECC"), both of which are South Korean corporations.  
As of May 7, 1997, CE Casecnan terminated the Hanbo Contract because of events 
of default under the contract including the fact that both HECC and Hanbo are 
insolvent and have filed for court receivership protection in the Republic of 
Korea.  In connection with the Hanbo Contract termination, CE Casecnan made a 
draw under the irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by Korea First Bank 
("KFB") as security under the Hanbo Contract to pay for certain transition 
costs and other presently ascertainable damages under the Hanbo Contract.  If 
KFB were to fail to honor its obligations under the Casecnan letter of credit, 
such action could have a material adverse effect on the Casecnan Project and 
CE Casecnan.
