Citizens Utilities Company, Plan Administrator of the
CUC 401(k) Employee Benefit Plan:

We have audited the financial statements of the CUC 401(k) Employee Benefit
Plan as listed in the accompanying index.  In connection with our audits of
the financial statements, we have also audited the supporting schedules as
listed in the accompanying index.  These financial statements and supporting
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
supporting schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in  the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Plan Administrator, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the plan equity of the CUC 401(k) Employee Benefit
Plan at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the income and changes in plan equity
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our
opinion, the related supporting schedules, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

            Series B. Stock dividends are paid on the Common Stock Series B
            shares in additional full and fractional shares.  Stock dividends
            are not reported as dividend income in the Statements of Income
            and Changes in Plan Equity, rather, stock dividends are capital
            transactions which have the effect of increasing plan shares and
            decreasing per share cost. Shares received from stock dividends
            in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were 240,385, 140,146 and 34,679,
            respectively.

            The Guaranteed Income Fund pays a blended interest rate for
            contracts purchased since July 1, 1992. This Blended Interest
            Rate is calculated using a weighted average of contract assets
            and the above annual compound rates of return. The blended
            interest rate is projected using assets in the above contracts
            and varies as contracts mature, as new contracts are purchased
            and with deposit and withdrawal experience.
 
            Investments made in this Fund between July 1, 1991 and June 30,
            1992 earn a rate of return determined under a guaranteed
            insurance contract issued by the General American Life Insurance
            Company. This contract matures on June 30, 1996 and bears an
            annual compound rate of return of 8.30%.

      (d)   Equity Fund
            -----------

            Prior to June 30, 1994, contributions were invested in Capital
            Initiatives Equity Total Return Account Contract ("Equity TRAC"). 
            The return on the Equity Fund was linked to the performance of
            the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. Contributions made after June
            30, 1994 are invested in the Index Trust 500 portfolio managed
            by the Vanguard Group. This fund is a passive equity management
            vehicle which seeks to replicate the total return of the Standard
            and Poor's 500 stock index with dividends reinvested. The Equity
            Fund's balance as of June 30, 1994 was transferred to the
            Vanguard Index Trust 500 Portfolio.<PAGE>

       (e)  Bond Fund
            ---------

            Contributions are invested in the GNMA Bond Fund managed by the
            Vanguard Group.  The fund is comprised primarily of securities
            backed by the "full faith and credit of the U.S. Government". 
            Dividends are received in cash and reinvested in additional Bond
            Fund shares.

      (f)   Life Insurance
            --------------

            After January 1, 1992 the life insurance option is no longer
            offered to existing and newly eligible participants.  Prior to
            1992, life insurance, which may cover the participant, his/her
            spouse and dependent children, was provided by Inter-American
            Life Insurance Company ("Inter-American").  Participants who
            maintained life insurance policies prior to January 1, 1992 had
            their coverage remain intact.  These Participants may continue
            to have up to 25% of their contributions used to pay premiums on
            a selected amount of life insurance coverage.  Insurance
            certificates are issued to all Participants selecting this option
            and insurance policies are issued to Participants upon their
            retirement or termination.  

            On December 23, 1991, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois
            entered an Order of Liquidation with a Finding of Insolvency
            against Inter-American.  The Order of Liquidation has no effect
            on Plan assets as the Participants' contributions used to
            purchase life insurance policies are not assets of the Plan.  The
            face values and cash surrender values of the Inter-American
            policies have been assumed by Jackson National Life Insurance
            Company and Commonwealth Life Insurance Company.

      (g)   Loans
            -----

            A Participant in the Plan for two years or more may request to
            borrow up to the lesser of 50% of his/her vested account balance
            or $50,000, in both cases limited to the Participant's salary
            deferral account balance on the valuation date preceding the date
            on which the loan is made.  The loans are allocated to a Loan
            Fund.  The interest rate on the loans is equal to the prime
            interest rate in effect at the beginning of the month in which
            loans are approved and remains fixed at that rate.  Loan
            repayments are made through payroll deductions and are credited
            to the Participants' accounts as the payments are made. In the
            event of termination of employment, a Participant's loan note is
            generally canceled and the Participant's distribution is reduced
            by the amount of the outstanding loan balance.

<PAGE>
(2)  Administration of the Plan
      --------------------------

      As of January 1, 1993, PNC Bank became the Plan Trustee.  Plan
      administration costs are paid by the Company, the Plan Sponsor.


(3)   Eligibility
      -----------

      The plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan. Under the terms of
      the Plan, non-bargaining unit employees who are at least 21 years of
      age and have attained 30 days of service are eligible to participate
      in the Plan. Enrollment dates are on January 1 and July 1 of each year. 
      At December 31, 1994 there were 2,478 employees eligible to participate
      in the Plan and 2,265 participants in the Plan.

(4)   Contributions
      -------------

      Eligible employees may contribute up to 16% of their annual
      compensation through payroll deductions, subject to certain maximum
      contribution restrictions.  Participants who maintained life insurance
      coverage after January 1, 1992 may elect to continue to make specific
      dollar allocations to purchase life insurance coverage.  Contributions
      may be apportioned in 5% increments to any combination of the four
      investment options specified below.  At December 31, 1994 the number
      of accounts in each fund was as follows:

                                                        Number of
                                                        Accounts 
                                                       ----------

            Investment Option:
              Stock Fund                                  2,251
              Guaranteed Income Fund                      1,789
              Equity Fund                                   787
              Bond Fund                                     329
            Life Insurance                                   65
            Loan Fund                                       453


      The Company contribution is determined for each Plan year by the Board
      of Directors of the Company. The Company contribution for the 1994,
      1993 and 1992 Plan years amounted to 50% of the first 6% of each
      Participant's annual compensation (as defined by the Plan). Prior to
      July 1, 1993, Company contributions were invested in the same ratio of
      fund options that the Participant elected except that contributions for
      life insurance premium payments were not considered in such investment
      ratio.  Effective July 1, 1993 the Company contributions are invested
      entirely in the Stock fund.

<PAGE>
(5)  Vesting
      -------

      Participants are at all times fully vested in their own contributions
      and the allocated earnings thereon.  Participants become 100% vested
      in the Company's contributions and the related earnings on the
      Company's contributions upon disability, death, attainment of normal
      retirement age or after five years of service.  For any other
      termination of employment, the vesting schedule is as follows:

                                                  Vested Percentage
                                              of Company's Contribution
               Years of Service                 and Related Earnings
               ----------------                -----------------------
            Less than 2 years                               0%
            2 years but less than 3 years                   40%
            3 years but less than 4 years                   60%
            4 years but less than 5 years                   80%
            5 years or more                                 100%

      Non-vested forfeited employer contributions which had been allocated
      to the Guaranteed Income Fund, Equity Fund, Bond Fund and Stock Fund
      are used to reduce future Company contributions.  Prior to 1993 Non-
      vested forfeited employer contributions to the Stock Fund were
      allocated among the Participants remaining at the end of each Plan
      year.  

      Forfeitures by Fund for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
      1992 were as follows:

      Fund                         1994             1993           1992
      ----                         ----             ----           ----

      Stock Fund                  $21,456          $7,916         $16,830
      Guaranteed Income Fund       12,937           6,714          20,616
      Equity Fund                     706           3,809           2,243
      Bond Fund                     1,146             994             587

(6)   Termination of Plan
      -------------------

      The Company's Board of Directors has the right under the terms of the
      Plan to discontinue Company contributions at any time and to terminate
      the Plan, subject to the terms of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

(7)   Distribution of Benefits
      ------------------------

      Upon termination of employment, a Participant is entitled to receive
      payment in full of the vested portion of his/her account.  If the value
      of the terminating Participant's account exceeds $3,500, the
      Participant may elect to defer distribution.  The distribution must
      begin on or before April 1st of the calendar year following the year
      the Participant attains age 70 1/2.
<PAGE>
(8)  Federal Income Tax
      ------------------

      The Plan is a qualified plan as described in Sections 401(a) and 401(k)
      of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and, as such, the Trust
      established thereunder is exempt from payment of federal income taxes
      under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  A
      favorable determination letter has been received from the Internal
      Revenue Service which confirms such status.<PAGE>
