Item 4.01 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On September 12, 2008, Isla Lipana & Co. resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of CE Casecnan Water and Energy Company, Inc. (the "Company").
The reports of Isla Lipana & Co. on the Company's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and through September 12, 2008, there were no disagreements with Isla Lipana & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Isla Lipana & Co., would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years, nor have there been any "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Isla Lipana & Co. with a copy of the above disclosures and requested Isla Lipana & Co. to furnish a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the disclosures made above. A copy of Isla Lipana & Co.'s letter dated September 12, 2008, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
