Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
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, 2000, and
the related statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. The quarters ended September 30, 1999, March 31, 2000 and June 30,
2000 were reviewed by another independent accounting firm.
A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial
information, applying analytical review procedures to the financial data and
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It
is substantially less in scope than an audit made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards 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.
Another independent accounting firm had previously audited in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America, the
balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, statements of operations and of cash
flows for the year then ended, whose report dated January 25, 2000 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
Note 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 of the Company as of September 30, 2000
and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 and for the period from the date of inception (September 21,
1994) to September 30, 2000, and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and for the period from the date of inception
(September 21, 1994) to September 30, 2000.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
Note 2 - Other footnote information
Reference is made to the Company's December 31, 1999 financial statements, which
were audited by other independent accountants 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 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 2000 to $1,858 from $2,665 in the same period in 1999, a 30.3%
decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, interest income
decreased to $6,367 from $8,958 in the same period in 1999, a 28.9% decrease.
These decreases are primarily due to lower cash balances as a result of the use
of existing cash to support the ongoing development and construction activities.
Interest expense inclusive of bond issue costs in the third quarter of 2000 was
$11,978 compared to $11,581 for the same period in 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, interest expense was $35,808 and $34,648,
respectively. Amortization of bond issue costs for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2000 were $366 and $1,099, respectively, compared to
$331 and $993 for the same period in 1999. Capitalized interest in the third
quarter of 2000 increased to $11,978 from $9,315 for the same period in 1999, a
28.6% increase. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, capitalized
interest increased to $34,915 from $26,658 for the same period in 1999, a 31%
increase. The increases in capitalized interest resulted from higher cumulative
development and construction costs. 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,
$171,500 of its 11.95% Senior Secured Series B Bonds due 2010 and $75,000 of its
Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2002 (the "Securities"), pursuant to an
indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of November 27, 1995, as amended to date.
<PAGE>
The Securities are senior debt of the Company and are secured by a collateral
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. 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
provisions as defined in the Indenture. The Securities contain customary events
of default and restrictive covenants.
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").
On November 20, 1999, following a request by the Contractor, the EPC Contract
was amended, inter alia, to extend the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date
for the Casecnan Project to March 31, 2001. In connection with such extension,
Stone & Webster, the Casecnan Project's independent engineer, confirmed that the
revised construction budget and schedule was reasonable and that funds remaining
available to the Company should be sufficient to complete the Casecnan Project.
Accordingly, the Casecnan Project is currently scheduled to become operational
by the second quarter of 2001, subject to any further completion date extensions
resulting from contractor delays.
The Republic of the Philippines ("RP") has recently been experiencing a period
of political unrest and governmental uncertainty relating to the impeachment of
President Estrada which could result in a change in the Presidency and related
changes to the RP cabinet and overall government administration.
Although the obligations of the National Irrigation Administration ("NIA") to
make payments to the Company for water and electricity fees under the Project
Agreement with NIA and the obligations of the RP under the related sovereign
performance undertaking are in no way dependent on maintaining any particular RP
administration in place or on any particular government's annual budgetary
appropriations, it is possible that the current Philippine governmental
uncertainty could have an adverse impact on the Casecnan Project, which, as
noted above, is scheduled to commence commercial operation and commence
receiving payments in 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.
