INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees of CalEnergy Company, Inc.
401(k) Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of CalEnergy Company, Inc. 401(k) Savings
Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements 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 management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental schedules listed in the table of contents are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of
the individual funds. The supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and supplemental
information by fund have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

CALENERGY COMPANY, INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the CalEnergy Company, Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General - On August 26, 1989, CalEnergy Company, Inc. (the
"Company") established the Plan with an effective date
retroactive to January 1, 1989. The Plan is a defined
contribution plan covering all active employees of the Company.
It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended. Effective
November 5, 1996, assets of $1,816,337 of the Falcon Seaboard
Resources, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan were merged into the
Plan.
Trustee - The Dreyfus Trust Company ("Dreyfus") is the Plan
Trustee and executes all investment transactions and
recordkeeping. All investment transactions are determined based
on the allocation of investments as directed by the
participants.
Contributions - Participants may make salary deferrals up to a
maximum of the lesser of 15% of the participant's eligible
salary or $9,500 per year in 1997 and 1996.
The Company matches employee contributions at 100 percent of the
first $1,000 of employees deferral up to a maximum of 10 percent
of each participant's eligible earnings as defined and 30
percent of the amount above $1,000 up to 10 percent of each
participant's eligible earnings as defined.
Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited
with the participant's contribution and an allocation of (a) the
Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings (or losses).
Allocations are based on participant earnings on account
balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's account.
Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their salary
deferral contributions, the Company's matching contributions and
net earnings thereon.
Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of service, a participant
may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the fair
value of his or her account or maintain the account with the
Plan until retirement. "Pre-'91 Accruals," as defined, may be
payable in the form of non-transferable annuity contracts.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments - Investments are stated at fair value. The Company
common stock is valued at the last published sales price at the
end of the Plan year. The Dreyfus funds and the Capital
Preservation Fund are valued at quoted market prices.
Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair
value.
The CalEnergy stock fund includes a balance of 199,045 and
164,637 shares of the Company's common stock at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in the Fair Value of Investments
- The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in
the fair value of investments which consists of the realized
gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
on those investments. Such amounts are based on the beginning
of the year fair value, or cost if purchased during the year.
Administrative Expenses - All costs of Plan administration are
paid by the Company.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
3. OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
Effective July 1, 1997, the accounts for employees of a
subsidiary of the Company were transferred to a third party in
connection with the sale of that subsidiary on June 30, 1997.
Total assets transferred amounted to $2,065,102.
4. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
Company by a letter dated October 31, 1996, that the Plan and
related trust are designed in accordance with applicable
sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
Plan sponsor believes that the Plan is designed and is currently
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
included in the Plan's financial statements.
5. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and
to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In
the event the Plan is terminated, affected participants will
receive all amounts credited to their accounts.
6. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS
Active participants may borrow from their vested account
balances subject to certain limitations. These loans bear
interest at the prime rate plus 1% (which is fixed at the
inception of the loan) and maturities may not exceed five years.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, loans outstanding bear interest
rates ranging from 9.25% to 10.0%.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by
the Dreyfus Trust Company. The Dreyfus Trust Company is the
trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest. In addition,
transactions of the CalEnergy stock fund qualify as party-in-
interest.
