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  June  30,  1999, and the  related  statements  of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30,  1999  and
1998  and the period from inception (September 21, 1994) to  June
30,  1999, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,  1999
and  1998  and the period from inception (September 21, 1994)  to
June  30, 1999. These 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, 1998,
and the related statements of operations for the year ended December
31, 1998, and for the period from the date of inception (September
21, 1994) to December 31, 1998, changes in stockholders' equity for
the period from date of inception (September 21, 1994) to December
31, 1998 and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998, and
for the period from the date of inception (September 21, 1994) to
December 31, 1998 (not presented separately herein) and, in our
report dated January 20, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those financial statements.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (in thousands, except per share amounts)
                ________________________________

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 June 30,  1999  and  the
results  of  operations for the three and six months ended  June  30,
1999  and  1998  and the period from inception (September  21,  1994)
to  June  30,  1999,  and cash flows for the six  months  ended  June
30,  1999  and  1998  and  the period from inception  (September  21,
1994) to June 30, 1999.

The  results  of operations for the three and six months  ended  June

             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  consists  of  interest  income   on
cash   received   from   bond  proceeds  and  equity   contributions.
Interest  income decreased in the second quarter of  1999  to  $2,991
from  $4,960  in  the  same period in 1998, a  39.7%  decrease.   For
the  six  months  ended June 30, 1999, interest income  decreased  to
$6,293  from  $10,044 in the same period in 1998, a  37.4%  decrease.
These  decreases  are  primarily due to lower cash  balances  due  to
the  use  of  existing  cash  to  support  the  ongoing  construction
activities.

Interest   expense  in  the  second  quarter  of  1999  was   $11,386
compared  to  $11,500  for the same period  in  1998.   For  the  six
months  ended  June 30, 1999 and 1998, interest expense  was  $22,405
and  $23,044,  respectively.   Capitalized  interest  in  the  second
quarter  1999  increased to $9,133 from $6,534 for  the  same  period
in  1998,  a  39.8%  increase.  For the six  months  ended  June  30,
1999,  capitalized  interest increased to $17,343  from  $12,112  for
the  same  period  in  1998,  a  43.2% increase.   The  increases  in
capitalized   interest  result  from  higher  cumulative  development
and  construction costs.  Amortization of bond issue  costs  for  the
three  and  six  month  periods ended June 30,  1999  were  $331  and
$662,  respectively, compared to $295 and $589 for  the  same  period
in  1998.  Interest  expense, capitalized interest  and  amortization
of  bond  issue  costs relate to the notes and bonds  payable  issued
by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

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 (the "Securities"),  pursuant  to  an
indenture  (the  "Indenture")  dated as  of  November  27,  1995,  as
amended to date.

The  Securities  are senior debt of the Company and  are  secured  by
a   collateral   assignment  of  all  revenues  received   from   the
Project,  a  collateral  assignment  of  all  material  contracts,  a
lien  on  any  accounts  and funds on deposit  under  a  Deposit  and
Disbursement  Agreement, a pledge of 100% of  the  capital  stock  of
the  Company  and a lien on all other material assets  and  property.
The  Securities  rank pari passu with and will share  the  collateral
on a pro rata basis with other senior secured debt, if any.

The   Securities  are  subject  to  certain  optional  and  mandatory
redemption  schemes  as  defined in the  Indenture.   The  Securities
contain  customary  events  of  default  and  restrictive  covenants.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued):

The  Casecnan  Project  is being constructed  pursuant  to  a  fixed-
price,    date-certain,   turnkey   engineering,   procurement    and
construction   contract   to  complete  the   construction   of   the
Casecnan  Project  (the  "EPC Contract").  The  work  under  the  EPC
Contract   is   being  conducted  by  a  consortium   consisting   of
Cooperativa   Muratori  Cementisti  CMC  di   Ravenna   and   Impresa
Pizzarotti  &  C.  Spa  working together with  Siemens  A.G.,  Sulzer
Hydro  Ltd.,  Black  &  Veatch  and Colenco  Power  Engineering  Ltd.
(collectively,  the  "Contractor").   Construction  of  the  Casecnan
Project is expected to be completed in 2000.

What  is  generally  known as the year 2000  ("Y2K")  computer  issue
arose   because   many  existing  computer  programs   and   embedded
systems   use  only  the  last  two  digits  to  refer  to  a   year.
Therefore,  those  computer  programs  do  not  properly  distinguish
between  a  year  that  begins with "20"  instead  of  "19".  If  not
corrected,   many  computer  applications  could   fail   or   create
erroneous  results.   The  failure to correct  a  material  Y2K  item
could  result  in  an  interruption in,  or  a  failure  of,  certain
normal    business   activities   or   operations    including    the
generation,   distribution   and   supply   of   electricity.    Such
failures   could  materially  and  adversely  affect  the   Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

The  Y2K  issue  creates uncertainty for the Company  from  potential
issues  with  its  own computer systems and from third  parties  with
whom  the  Company  deals  on transactions worldwide.  The  Company's
operations   utilize  systems  and  equipment   provided   by   other
organizations.   As   a   result,  Y2K  readiness   of   contractors,
suppliers,  vendors,  service providers  or  customers  could  impact
the  Company's  operations. The Company is  assessing  the  readiness
of  such  constituent  entities and the  impacts  on  those  entities
that  rely  upon  the Company's services. The Company  is  unable  to
determine  at  this  time whether the consequences  of  Y2K  failures
of  third  parties  will  have a material  impact  on  the  Company's
results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

The  Company  has  commenced, for all of its information  systems,  a
Y2K   date   conversion  project  to  address  all   necessary   code
changes,  testing  and implementation in order  to  resolve  the  Y2K
issue.   The  Company has identified and assessed  substantially  all
of  its  IT  and  non-IT systems and is currently in the  process  of
repairing  or  replacing  those systems which  it  believes  are  not
year  2000  compliant.  As the Casecnan Project  is  expected  to  be
in  construction  through the second quarter of the  year  2000,  the
Y2K  problem in regard to Casecnan's operational assets  can  not  be
tested   by  the  Company  until  construction  is  complete.    This
compliance  is  the  obligation of the  contractor  until  completion
of construction.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued):

Total  Y2K  expenditures,  for  both  repairing  or  replacing   non-
compliant  systems, are expected to be immaterial.   The  Company  is
not  aware  of  any additional material costs needed to  be  incurred
to  bring  all of its systems into compliance; however, there  is  no
assurance that additional costs will not be incurred.

A  contingency  plan  identifying credible  worst-case  scenarios  is
being   developed.   The  contingency  plan  is  comprised  of   both
mitigation  and  recovery aspects.  Mitigation  entails  planning  to
reduce  the  impact  of unresolved year 2000 problems,  and  recovery
entails  planning  to restore services in the event  that  year  2000
problems  occur.  It is expected that the contingency  plan  will  be
finalized in the third quarter of 1999.

Although   management  believes  that  the  Y2K   project   will   be
substantially  complete  before  January  1,  2000,  any   unforeseen
failures  of  the  Company's and/or third parties'  computer  systems
could  have  a  material impact on the Company's ability  to  conduct
its business.

Certain   information  included  in  this  report  contains  forward-
looking   statements   made  pursuant  to  the   Private   Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995 ("Reform  Act").   Such  statements
are  based  on  current expectations and involve a  number  of  known
and  unknown  risks  and uncertainties that could  cause  the  actual
results  and  performance of the Company to  differ  materially  from
any  expected  future results or performance, expressed  or  implied,
by  the  forward-looking  statements.  In connection  with  the  safe
harbor  provisions  of  the Reform Act, the  Company  has  identified
important   factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to   differ
materially    from    such   expectations,   including    development
uncertainty,    operating   uncertainty,   acquisition   uncertainty,
uncertainties  relating  to  doing business  outside  of  the  United
States,   uncertainties  relating  to  domestic   and   international
economic  and  political conditions and uncertainties  regarding  the
impact   of  regulations,  changes  in  government  policy,  industry
deregulation  and  competition.  Reference is  made  to  all  of  the
Company's  SEC  filings,  incorporated herein  by  reference,  for  a
description    of   such   factors.    The   Company    assumes    no
responsibility   to  update  forward-looking  information   contained
herein.
