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 sheets of CE Casecnan Water and Energy
Company, Inc. (a company in the development stage) as of March 31, 2000, and the
related statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 and the period from the date of inception (September 21, 1994)
to March 31, 2000.  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, 1999, and the related statements of operations
and changes in  stockholders'  equity for the period from the date of  inception
(September  21,  1994) to  December  31,  1999 and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1999, and for the period from the date of inception  (September 21,
1994) to December 31, 1999 (not presented  separately herein) and, in our report
dated January 25, 2000, 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 March 31, 2000 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
the period from the date of inception (September 21, 1994) to March 31, 2000.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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,  1999  audited  financial
statements included in Form 10-K 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 2 to the financial  statements included in that
report.

                   CE CASECNAN WATER AND ENERGY COMPANY, INC.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                 (in thousands)
                        --------------------------------

Results of Operations:
- ---------------------

The  Company  is in the  development  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 first
quarter  of 2000 to  $2,314  from  $3,302 in the same  period  in 1999,  a 29.9%
decrease.  This  decrease is primarily due to lower cash balances due to the use
of existing cash to support the ongoing construction activities.

Interest  expense  increased in the first quarter of 2000 to $11,761 compared to
$11,019 for the same period in 1999.  Capitalized  interest in the first quarter
2000  increased  to $11,363  from  $8,210 for the same  period in 1999,  a 38.4%
increase.  The increase in capitalized  interest results from higher  cumulative
development  and  construction  costs.  Amortization of bond issue costs for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 was $366,  compared to $331 for the same
period in 1999. 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 a Trust
Indenture dated as of November 27, 1995, as amended to date.

The  Securities  are senior debt of the Company and are secured by an assignment
of all revenues  that will be received from the Casecnan  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  interest of the Company.  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 provided for in the Trust 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 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").

In November 20, 1999,  the EPC  Contract,  was amended to extend the  Guaranteed
Substantial  Completion  Date  for the  Casecnan  Project  to  March  31,  2001.
Accordingly,  the Casecnan Project is now expected to become  operational by the
second quarter of 2001.

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.
