Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended and of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 such interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2007, and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, were not audited or reviewed by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

CE CASECNAN WATER AND ENERGY COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) General

CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc. (the “Company” or “CE Casecnan”) is a privately held Philippine corporation formed indirectly by MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (“MEHC”) and was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 1994. The Company is 70% owned by CE Casecnan II, Inc., 20% owned by CE Casecnan Ltd., a Bermuda-registered corporation, which are both indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of MEHC, and 10% owned by a third party. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Company has a contract with the Republic of the Philippines (“ROP”), through the Philippine National Irrigation Administration (“NIA”) (a ROP-owned and controlled corporation), for the development and construction of a hydroelectric power plant and related facilities under a build-own-operate-transfer agreement, as amended by the Supplemental Agreement dated September 29, 2003 (“Project Agreement”), covering a 20-year cooperation period (“Cooperation Period”) commencing December 11, 2001, with “take-or-pay” obligations for water and electricity. At the end of the Cooperation Period, the combined irrigation and 150 megawatt hydroelectric power generation project (the “Casecnan Project”) will be transferred to the ROP at no cost on an “as is” basis. The ROP also signed a Performance Undertaking, which, among others, affirms and guarantees the obligations of NIA under the Project Agreement.

Under the terms of its registration with the Philippine Board of Investments, the Company was entitled to certain incentives which include an income tax holiday for six years from the start of commercial operations. The registration also requires, among others, the maintenance of a debt-to-equity ratio not exceeding 75:25 during commercial operations. The income tax holiday expired on December 11, 2007. The Company’s taxable income from December 11, 2007 forward is subject to income tax at the Philippine statutory rate.

The Casecnan Project is dependent upon sufficient rainfall to generate electricity and deliver water. The seasonality of rainfall patterns and the variability of rainfall from year to year, all of which are outside the control of the Company, have a material impact on the amounts of electricity generated and water delivered by the Casecnan Project. Rainfall has historically been highest from June through December and lowest from January through May. The contractual terms for water delivery fees and variable energy fees can produce significant variability in revenue between reporting periods.

The Company’s operations are in one reportable segment, the water delivery and electricity generation industry.

The unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements as of September 30, 2008, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Certain amounts in the prior period Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the gross presentation of purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities in the Statements of Cash Flows under investing activities. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported operating income, net income or retained earnings. However, previously reported cash and cash equivalents and net cash flows from investing activities were reduced by $7.5 million as of and for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

8

The preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, describes the most significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding significant accounting policies during the first nine months of 2008.

(2)  New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option may only be made at initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis accounting. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is irrevocable and is applied only to an entire instrument and not only to specified risks, cash flows or portions of that instrument. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008, and did not elect the fair value option for any existing eligible items.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not impose fair value measurements on items not already accounted for at fair value; rather it applies, with certain exceptions, to other accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The Company applied the guidance of FSP FAS 157-3 when determining the fair value of its auction rate securities. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements. Refer to Note 7 for additional discussion.

(3)  Restricted Cash and Investments and Other Investments

Restricted cash and investments consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2008		December 31, 2007
Current:
Dividend set aside account	$	13,250	$	13,054
Debt service reserve fund		10,115		9,360
	$	23,365	$	22,414
Noncurrent - Debt service reserve fund	$	11,957	$	13,906

The dividend set aside account and the current debt service reserve fund are invested in U.S. dollar money-market instruments. The noncurrent debt service reserve fund is invested in auction rate securities that had a remaining maturity of 25 years and 26 years at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Other investments at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consist of auction rate securities with a carrying value of $6.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively, and had a remaining maturity of 16 years and 17 years, respectively.

With the liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, the $21.4 million par value of auction rate securities held by the Company at September 30, 2008 have experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders. The securities are rated A2 and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service and AA by Standard & Poor’s at September 30, 2008.

Although there is no current liquid market for the auction rate securities, the Company believes the underlying creditworthiness of the repayment sources for these securities’ principal and interest has not materially deteriorated. Further, the Company has the intent and ability to hold the auction rate securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the credit and capital markets that would facilitate the periodic auction and sale of these securities. At September 30, 2008, the pre-tax temporary impairment of the auction rate securities totaled $2.8 million. If the underlying assets and the guarantors of the auction rate securities experience credit deterioration, the Company may not ultimately realize the par value of the investment held at September 30, 2008.

Given the failed auctions, it is uncertain if the auction rate securities will be sold within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company’s investments in auction rate securities are classified as non-current on the Balance Sheets.

(4) Income Taxes

The Company recognized income taxes totaling $10.4 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $24.1 million and $1.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Prior to the December 11, 2007 expiration of the income tax holiday granted to the Company by the Philippine Board of Investments, income taxes were incurred only on interest income earned outside the Philippines and on other income not covered by the income tax holiday. The Company’s taxable income from December 11, 2007 forward is subject to income tax at the Philippine statutory rate.

(5)  Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company transacts with its affiliates in the form of advances for operating expenses. The payable to affiliates was $2.6 million and $2.5 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Costs incurred by the Company in transactions with related parties amounted to $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and consist primarily of cost allocations.

10

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding $7.1 million and $39.2 million, respectively, of unsecured subordinated notes payable to CE Casecnan Ltd., a shareholder. The notes mature on November 1, 2015, and bear an interest rate consisting of the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 5.25%; however, CE Casecnan Ltd. can demand payment of the outstanding principal amount at any time prior to the maturity date. The interest is payable each May 15 and November 15. Interest expense on the notes was $0.1 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Any overdue payment of principal or interest payable on the notes shall increase the annual interest rate by two percentage points. At September 30, 2008, the effective interest rate on the notes was 8.08%. The notes may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty but with accrued interest, if any. The notes and any and all payments, whether of principal, interest or otherwise are subject in all respects to the terms of the Subordination Agreement dated November 15, 2001, and as amended on November 1, 2005, between CE Casecnan Ltd. and the Company in favor of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the co-collateral agent, the Depositary, any party that becomes a Permitted Counterparty under an Interest Rate/Currency Protection Agreement, and any party that becomes a working capital facility agent and any other Person that becomes a secured party under the Intercreditor Agreement.

On May 15, 2007, CE Casecnan Ltd. demanded payment in full of the outstanding principal amount of the notes and accrued interest. To the extent that the Company does not have available cash from distributions from the Distribution Fund under the Depositary Agreement (each, as defined in the Subordination Agreement) to pay such amount in full, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied this demand by paying, to the extent of such available cash, first accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the notes, and then the outstanding principal amount of the notes. To the extent that such available cash is insufficient to pay any accrued interest or outstanding principal, the Company shall not be deemed in default and such amounts shall remain outstanding and payable pursuant to the terms of the notes and the Subordination Agreement. CE Casecnan intends to repay the outstanding notes and accrued interest within the next three months. The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations, after considering income taxes, to pay the notes and other short-term obligations.

(6) Commitments and Contingencies

Shareholder Litigation

In February 2002, pursuant to the share ownership adjustment mechanism in the CE Casecnan shareholder agreement, MEHC’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, CE Casecnan Ltd., advised the minority shareholder of the Company, LaPrairie Group Contractors (International) Ltd. (“LPG”) that MEHC’s indirect ownership interest in CE Casecnan had increased to 100% effective from commencement of commercial operations. On July 8, 2002, LPG filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, against CE Casecnan Ltd. and MEHC. On January 3, 2006, the Superior Court of the State of California entered a judgment in favor of LPG against CE Casecnan Ltd. Pursuant to the judgment, 15% of the distributions of the Company was deposited into escrow plus interest at 9% per annum. The judgment was appealed, and as a result of the appellate decision, CE Casecnan Ltd. determined that LPG would retain ownership of 10% of the shares of the Company, with the remaining 5% share to be transferred to CE Casecnan Ltd. subject to certain buy-up rights under the shareholder agreement, which are also being litigated. The remaining issues are fully briefed and pending before the court. Exercise of the buy-up rights is a transaction between shareholders and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations.

On July 1, 2005, MEHC and CE Casecnan Ltd. commenced an action against San Lorenzo Ruiz Builders and Developers Group, Inc. (“San Lorenzo”) in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, seeking a declaratory judgment as to San Lorenzo’s right to repurchase 15% of the shares in the Company.  On January 30, 2006, San Lorenzo filed a counterclaim against MEHC and CE Casecnan Ltd. seeking declaratory relief that it has effectively exercised its option to purchase 15% of the shares of the Company, that it is the rightful owner of such shares and that it is due all dividends paid on such shares. Currently, the action is in the discovery phase, and a one-week trial has been set to begin May 4, 2009. The impact, if any, of this litigation on the Company cannot be determined at this time.

11

Concentration of Risk

NIA’s obligations under the Project Agreement are substantially denominated in U.S. dollars and are the Company’s sole source of operating revenue. Because of the Company’s dependence on NIA, any material failure of NIA to fulfill its obligations under the Project Agreement and any material failure of the ROP to fulfill its obligations under the Performance Undertaking would significantly impair the ability of the Company to meet its existing and future obligations, including obligations pertaining to its outstanding debt. No shareholders, partners or affiliates of the Company, including MEHC, and no directors, officers or employees of the Company have guaranteed or will be in any way liable for payment of the Company’s obligations. As a result, payment of the Company’s obligations depends upon the availability of sufficient revenue from the Company’s business after the payment of operating expenses.

Franchise Tax

CE Casecnan received franchise tax assessments for the years 2001 to 2006 totaling $2.2 million from the Province of Nueva Vizcaya. CE Casecnan believes that franchise tax is imposed on companies which have a secondary or special franchise from the government. CE Casecnan is an independent power producer and does not have a government franchise. The Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 provides that independent power generation is not a public utility operation and does not require a franchise. Therefore, the Company has not recognized a liability relating to these assessments. CE Casecnan filed appeals of the assessments which are currently pending before the Supreme Court Office of the Court Administrator for re-assignment to another court to hear and decide on these cases.

Real Property Tax

On July 1, 2008, CE Casecnan received a real property tax assessment adjustment totaling $28.6 million from the province of Nueva Ecija and the municipality of Pantabangan for the years 2002 through the second quarter of 2008. On July 2, 2008, CE Casecnan forwarded the tax assessment adjustment to NIA and the Philippine Department of Finance (“DOF”), who must authorize any payment for real property taxes and are obligated to reimburse the Company pursuant to the Project Agreement. On August 28, 2008, CE Casecnan filed an appeal with the local Board of Assessment Appeals. CE Casecnan received a temporary restraining order against the province of Nueva Ecija to enjoin collection efforts until the matter is resolved by the courts. On October 24, 2008, the Court denied CE Casecnan’s application for preliminary injunction. A motion for reconsideration on the denial will be filed within 15 days from receipt of the court order. In the meantime, CE Casecnan will proceed with the main case for injunction.

National Wealth Tax

On July 17, 2008, CE Casecnan received an assessment totaling $4.1 million from the municipality of Alfonso Castaneda for a share of national wealth tax it claims is owed by the Company for the years from 2002 through 2007. On July 22, 2008, CE Casecnan forwarded the assessment to NIA and the DOF, who must authorize any payment for national wealth taxes and are obligated to reimburse the Company pursuant to the Project Agreement. On September 24, 2008, CE Casecnan received a temporary restraining order to enjoin the municipality of Alfonso Castaneda from pursuing its collection efforts. Considering that the facts are not disputed and the case involves purely questions of law or legal issues, the parties agreed to dispense with the presentation of their respective evidences in the application for preliminary injunction and proceed directly to the main case. The parties agreed, which the Court approved, to a status quo pending the final outcome of the main case. A pre-trial conference is set on November 28, 2008.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

The Company has auction rate securities that are measured at fair value in the Financial Statements. The Company uses a three level hierarchy for determining fair value and a financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The auction rate securities were valued using internally developed discounted cash flow models based on available observable market data and the Company’s judgment about the assumptions, including liquidity and nonperformance risks, which market participants would use in pricing the asset. As such, the Company considers these securities to be valued using Level 3 inputs. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balance of the Company’s auction rate securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2008			Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2008
Beginning balance	$	19,747		$	21,409
Unrealized losses included in other comprehensive loss, net		(1,169	)		(2,831	)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc. (“CE Casecnan” or the “Company”) during the periods included herein. Explanations include management’s best estimate of the impact of weather and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical unaudited Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company’s actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can typically be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “intend,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and similar terms. These statements are based upon the Company’s current intentions, assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors. Many of these factors are outside the Company’s control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others:

changes in weather conditions that could affect operating revenue;

general economic, political and business conditions in the Philippines;

changes in governmental, legislative or regulatory requirements affecting the Company or the power generation industry;

availability of qualified personnel;

changes in financial or regulatory accounting principles or policies imposed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and similar entities with regulatory oversight; and

other business or investment considerations that may be disclosed from time to time in filings with the SEC or in other publicly disseminated written documents.

Further details of the potential risks and uncertainties affecting the Company are described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including Item 1A and other discussions contained in this Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors should not be construed as exclusive.

Business

The Company has a contract with the Republic of the Philippines (“ROP”), through the Philippine National Irrigation Administration (“NIA”) (a ROP-owned and controlled corporation), for the development and construction of a hydroelectric power plant and related facilities under a build-own-operate-transfer agreement, as amended by the Supplemental Agreement dated September 29, 2003 (the “Project Agreement”), covering a 20-year cooperation period (“Cooperation Period”) commencing December 11, 2001, with “take-or-pay” obligations for water and electricity. On December 11, 2021, the end of the Cooperation Period, the combined irrigation and 150 megawatt hydroelectric power generation project (the “Casecnan Project”) will be transferred to the ROP at no cost on an “as is” basis. The ROP also signed a Performance Undertaking, which, among others, affirms and guarantees the obligations of NIA under the Project Agreement. Under the terms of its registration with the Philippine Board of Investments, CE Casecnan is entitled to certain incentives which included an income tax holiday for six years from the start of commercial operations. The Casecnan Project Cooperation Period began upon commencement of commercial operations on December 11, 2001. The income tax holiday expired on December 11, 2007. The Company’s taxable income from December 11, 2007 forward is subject to income tax at the Philippine statutory rate.

14

Seasonality

The Casecnan Project is dependent upon sufficient rainfall to generate electricity and deliver water. The seasonality of rainfall patterns and the variability of rainfall from year to year, all of which are outside the control of the Company, have a material impact on the amounts of electricity generated and water delivered by the Casecnan Project. Rainfall has historically been highest from June through December and lowest from January through May. The contractual terms for water delivery fees and variable energy fees (described below) can produce significant variability in revenue between reporting periods.

Under the Project Agreement, the water delivery fee is a fixed monthly payment based upon an assumed annual water delivery of 801.9 million cubic meters, pro-rated to approximately 66.8 million cubic meters per month, multiplied by the water delivery fee rate of $0.07381 per cubic meter. For each contract year starting from December 25, 2003 and ending on December 25, 2008, a water delivery fee credit (deferred revenue) is computed equal to 801.9 million cubic meters minus the greater of actual water deliveries or 700.0 million cubic meters - the minimum threshold. The water delivery fee credit at the end of each contract year is available to be earned in the succeeding contract year through December 25, 2008. The cumulative water delivery fee credit at December 25, 2008, if any, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis from December 25, 2008 through December 25, 2013, as a reduction from billings to NIA. Accordingly, in recognizing revenue, the water delivery fees are recorded each month pro-rated to approximately 58.3 million cubic meters per month until the minimum threshold has been reached for the current contract year. Subsequent water delivery fees within the contract year are based on actual water delivered. For contract years starting from December 25, 2008 through the end of the Cooperation Period, guaranteed water delivery fees will be $51.7 million (the 700.0 million cubic meter minimum threshold multiplied by the water delivery fee rate of $0.07381).

For contract years starting from December 25, 2008 through the end of the Cooperation Period, variable water delivery fees will be earned for all water deliveries, if any, exceeding the 700.0 million cubic meter annual minimum threshold until a cumulative 1.324 billion cubic meters of water subject to variable water delivery fees have been delivered.

The Company earns guaranteed energy fees based upon an assumed delivery of 19.0 gigawatt hours (“GWh”) per month, at a rate of $0.1596 per kilowatt hour (“kWh”).

The Company earns variable energy fees based upon actual energy delivered in each month in excess of 19.0 GWh, currently payable at a rate of $0.1509 per kWh. On December 25, 2008, the kWh rate for energy deliveries in excess of 19.0 GWh per month is reduced to $0.1132, escalating at 1% per annum thereafter. Any deliveries of energy in excess of 490.0 GWh, but less than 550.0 GWh per year are paid at a rate of 1.3 pesos per kWh, reduced to 0.98 pesos starting in 2009 and escalated at 1% per annum thereafter. Deliveries in excess of 550.0 GWh per year are at no cost to NIA. Within each contract year, no variable energy fees are payable until energy in excess of the cumulative 19.0 GWh per month for the contract year to date has been delivered.

Results of Operations

The following table provides certain operating data of the Casecnan Project:

	Three-Month Periods				Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,				Ended September 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Electricity produced (GWh)		177.3		135.3		382.9		234.4
Water delivered (million cubic meters)		315.1		224.3		665.4		392.3

15 

The Company’s water and energy fees are as follows (in millions):

	Three-Month Periods						Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,						Ended September 30,
	2008			2007			2008			2007
Water delivery fees	$	14.7		$	14.7		$	44.4		$	44.4
Guaranteed energy fees		9.1			9.1			27.3			27.3
Variable energy fees		16.7			5.5			30.2			7.8
Deferred water delivery fees		(1.8	)		(1.8	)		(5.6	)		(5.6	)
	$	38.7		$	27.5		$	96.3		$	73.9

Revenue for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2008 increased $11.2 million and $22.4 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2007. The increase in variable energy fees was due to the higher rainfall which resulted in higher electricity production in 2008 compared to 2007. Deferred water delivery fees represent the difference between the actual water delivery fees earned and the water delivery fees invoiced pursuant to the Project Agreement.

Plant operations and other operating expenses for the first nine months of 2008 increased $1.0 million from the comparable period in 2007, due to higher general and administrative cost allocations in 2008.

Interest expense for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2008 decreased $2.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2007.  The lower interest expense was due to lower outstanding debt balances resulting from the scheduled repayment of Series B bonds and the repayment of notes payable.

Income tax expense for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2008 increased $9.9 million and $22.4 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2007, due to the expiration of the income tax holiday on December 11, 2007.  From December 11, 2007 forward, the Company’s taxable income is subject to income tax at the Philippine statutory rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CE Casecnan developed, financed, constructed and owns and operates the Casecnan Project for the term of the Cooperation Period, which commenced on December 11, 2001. During the Cooperation Period, NIA is obligated to accept all deliveries of water and energy, and so long as the Casecnan Project is physically capable of operating and delivering in accordance with agreed levels set forth in the Project Agreement, NIA is obligated to pay CE Casecnan a fixed fee for the delivery of a threshold volume of water and a fixed fee for the delivery of a threshold amount of electricity. In addition, NIA is obligated to pay a fee for all electricity delivered in excess of the threshold amount up to a specified amount and will be obligated to pay a fee for all water delivered in excess of the threshold amount up to a specified amount beginning after December 25, 2008.

The ROP has provided a Performance Undertaking under which NIA’s obligations under the Project Agreement are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the ROP. The Project Agreement and the Performance Undertaking provide for the resolution of disputes by binding arbitration in Singapore under international arbitration rules.

NIA’s obligations under the Project Agreement are substantially denominated in U.S. dollars and are the Company’s sole source of operating revenue. Because of the Company’s dependence on NIA, any material failure of NIA to fulfill its obligations under the Project Agreement and any material failure of the ROP to fulfill its obligations under the Performance Undertaking would significantly impair the ability of the Company to meet its existing and future obligations, including obligations pertaining to its outstanding debt. No shareholders or affiliates of the Company, including MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (“MEHC”), and no directors, officers or employees of the Company have guaranteed or will be in any way liable for payment of the Company’s obligations. As a result, payment of the Company’s obligations depends upon the availability of sufficient revenue from the Company’s business after the payment of operating expenses.

16

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $53.8 million and $31.1 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Cash flows from operations were $74.8 million and $64.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash from operations in 2008 was primarily due to collection of higher variable energy revenue resulting from higher water flow and related energy generation in 2008.

Cash flows from investing activities were $(1.3) million and $17.0 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Restricted cash and investments decreased by $28.8 million in 2007, primarily as a result of the payment of $25.5 million of dividends and accrued interest held in escrow. Net purchases of available-for-sale securities were $11.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Cash flows from financing activities were $(50.8) million and $(79.1) million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company repaid $18.9 million of its outstanding project financing debt and $32.1 million of its notes payable during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The Company repaid $38.6 million of advances received from its affiliates and $18.9 million of its outstanding project financing debt and also released $21.7 million of dividends held in escrow during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Auction Rate Securities

With the liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, the $21.4 million par value of auction rate securities held by the Company at September 30, 2008 have experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders. The securities are rated A2 and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service and AA by Standard & Poor’s at September 30, 2008.

Although there is no current liquid market for the auction rate securities, the Company believes the underlying creditworthiness of the repayment sources for these securities’ principal and interest has not materially deteriorated. Further, the Company has the intent and ability to hold the auction rate securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recoveryin the credit and capital markets that would facilitate the periodic auction and sale of these securities. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s pre-tax temporary impairment of the auction rate securities totaled $2.8 million. If the underlying assets and the guarantors of the auction rate securities experience credit deterioration, the Company may not ultimately realize the par value of the investment at September 30, 2008.

Given the failed auctions, it is uncertain if the auction rate securities will be sold within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company’s investments in auction rate securities are classified as non-current on the Balance Sheets.

Shareholder Litigation

In February 2002, pursuant to the share ownership adjustment mechanism in the CE Casecnan shareholder agreement, MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company’s (“MEHC”) indirect wholly owned subsidiary, CE Casecnan Ltd., advised the minority shareholder of the Company, LaPrairie Group Contractors (International) Ltd. (“LPG”) that MEHC’s indirect ownership interest in CE Casecnan had increased to 100% effective from commencement of commercial operations. On July 8, 2002, LPG filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, against CE Casecnan Ltd. and MEHC. On January 3, 2006, the Superior Court of the State of California entered a judgment in favor of LPG against CE Casecnan Ltd. Pursuant to the judgment, 15% of the distributions of the Company was deposited into escrow plus interest at 9% per annum. The judgment was appealed, and as a result of the appellate decision, CE Casecnan Ltd. determined that LPG would retain ownership of 10% of the shares of the Company, with the remaining 5% share to be transferred to CE Casecnan Ltd. subject to certain buy-up rights under the shareholder agreement, which are also being litigated. The remaining issues are fully briefed and pending before the court. Exercise of the buy-up rights is a transaction between shareholders and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations.

17

On July 1, 2005, MEHC and CE Casecnan Ltd. commenced an action against San Lorenzo Ruiz Builders and Developers Group, Inc. (“San Lorenzo”) in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, seeking a declaratory judgment as to San Lorenzo’s right to repurchase 15% of the shares in the Company. On January 30, 2006, San Lorenzo filed a counterclaim against MEHC and CE Casecnan Ltd. seeking declaratory relief that it has effectively exercised its option to purchase 15% of the shares of the Company, that it is the rightful owner of such shares and that it is due all dividends paid on such shares. Currently, the action is in the discovery phase, and a one-week trial has been set to begin May 4, 2009. The impact, if any, of this litigation on the Company cannot be determined at this time.

Franchise Tax

CE Casecnan received franchise tax assessments for the years 2001 to 2006 totaling $2.2 million from the Province of Nueva Vizcaya. CE Casecnan believes that franchise tax is imposed on companies which have a secondary or special franchise from the government. CE Casecnan is an independent power producer and does not have a government franchise. The Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 provides that independent power generation is not a public utility operation and does not require a franchise. Therefore, the Company has not recognized a liability relating to these assessments. CE Casecnan filed appeals of the assessments which are currently pending before the Supreme Court Office of the Court Administrator for re-assignment to another court to hear and decide on these cases.

Real Property Tax

On July 1, 2008, CE Casecnan received a real property tax assessment adjustment totaling $28.6 million from the province of Nueva Ecija and the municipality of Pantabangan for the years 2002 through the second quarter of 2008. On July 2, 2008, CE Casecnan forwarded the tax assessment adjustment to NIA and the Philippine Department of Finance (“DOF”), who must authorize any payment for real property taxes and are obligated to reimburse the Company pursuant to the Project Agreement. On August 28, 2008, CE Casecnan filed an appeal with the local Board of Assessment Appeals. CE Casecnan received a temporary restraining order against the province of Nueva Ecija to enjoin collection efforts until the matter is resolved by the courts. On October 24, 2008, the Court denied CE Casecnan’s application for preliminary injunction. A motion for reconsideration on the denial will be filed within 15 days from receipt of the court order. In the meantime, CE Casecnan will proceed with the main case for injunction.

National Wealth Tax

On July 17, 2008, CE Casecnan received an assessment totaling $4.1 million from the municipality of Alfonso Castaneda for a share of national wealth tax it claims is owed by the Company for the years from 2002 through 2007.  On July 22, 2008, CE Casecnan forwarded the assessment to NIA and the DOF, who must authorize any payment for national wealth taxes and are obligated to reimburse the Company pursuant to the Project Agreement. On September 24, 2008, CE Casecnan received a temporary restraining order to enjoin the municipality of Alfonso Castaneda from pursuing its collection efforts. Considering that the facts are not disputed and the case involves purely questions of law or legal issues, the parties agreed to dispense with the presentation of their respective evidences in the application for preliminary injunction and proceed directly to the main case. The parties agreed, which the Court approved, to a status quo pending the final outcome of the main case. A pre-trial conference is set on November 28, 2008.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Subsequent to December 31, 2007, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business in the contractual obligations and commercial commitments from the information provided in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

18 

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting the Company, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled in the future. Amounts recognized in the Financial Statements from such estimates are necessarily based on numerous assumptions involving varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty. Accordingly, the amounts currently reflected in the Financial Statements will likely increase or decrease in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue. For additional discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company’s critical accounting policies have not changed materially since December 31, 2007.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Item 7A of CE Casecnan’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company’s exposure to market risk and its management of such risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2007.

Item 4(T).  Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the President (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s President  (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
