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 September 30, 1999, and
the  related  statements  of  operations  for the  three and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 and the period from  inception  (September 21, 1994)
to September  30, 1999,  and cash flows for the nine months ended  September 30,
1999 and 1998 and the period from  inception  (September  21, 1994) to September
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  inception
(September 21, 1994) to December 31, 1998,  changes in stockholders'  equity for
the period from  inception  (September  21,  1994) to December 31, 1998 and cash
flows for the year ended  December 31, 1998,  and for the period from  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.

                     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 third
quarter  of 1999 to  $2,665  from  $5,159 in the same  period  in 1998,  a 48.3%
decrease.  For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  interest  income
decreased  41.1% to $8,958  from  $15,203  for the same  period  in 1998.  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 third  quarter of 1999 was $11,250  compared to $10,962
for the same period in 1998.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 and
1998,  interest  expense  was  $33,655 and  $34,005,  respectively.  Capitalized
interest in the third quarter 1999  increased to $9,315 from $7,118 for the same
period in 1998, a 30.9% increase.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
capitalized  interest  increased  to $26,658 from $19,229 for the same period in
1998, a 38.6%  increase.  The increases in  capitalized  interest  resulted from
higher cumulative development and construction costs. Amortization of bond issue
costs for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September 30, 1999 were $331
and $993,  respectively,  compared to $295 and $884 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:

The Company  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,
$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.

                        --------------------------------

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 CP  Casecnan  Consortium,  a
consortium  consisting of  Cooperativa  Muratori  Cementisti  CMC di Ravenna and
Impresa Pizzarotti & C. Spa, and Siemens A.G., Sulzer Hydro Ltd., Black & Veatch
and  Colenco  Power  Engineering  Ltd.  (collectively,  the  "Contractor").  The
Casecnan Project, which was expected to become operational in the fourth quarter
of 2000, is now expected to become  operational in the first quarter of 2001 due
to certain recent delays experienced by the Contractor. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of these delays with the Contractor.

What is generally  known as the year 2000  computer  issue ("Y2K") 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,  it is anticipated  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 year  2000,  the Y2K  problem in regard to  Casecnan's  operational
assets  cannot be tested by the Company  until  construction  is complete.  This
compliance is the obligation of the contractor until completion of construction.

                    (in thousands, except per share amounts)

                        --------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED):

Total Y2K expenditures,  for both repairing or replacing  non-compliant systems,
are not  expected to be  material.  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. Although such plans are substantially  complete,  they
will be  refined  throughout  the  remainder  of the year,  based on  results of
contingency planning drills and other changes in circumstances.

Although management believes that the Y2K project will be substantially complete
before  January 1, 2000,  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,
uncertainties  relating to construction (and in particular tunneling) activities
and SCHEDULE,  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.
