While our established schedules of Tuesday and Friday DPR's would have us reporting tomorrow's activity on Monday, we will change that for month end. Please email the January 31st DPR information for your respective groups to my attention by noon on Friday. You should use the same spreadsheet format used for the 1/29/02 DPR. All p&l and PRMA numbers should be in $'000's. Starting in February, you will be able to export the data, as opposed to using the spreadsheets. Thanks,
EWS DPR 1/31/02
There is a P&L Summary for east desk in the Netco directory located at O:/ERMS/erms_adm/Netco/2002/0102/Regions0102/_Converted/East P&L Summ. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think. To simplify and speed up the reporting process, I added buttons that will link to the P&L's. The format may or may not resemble formats used on other desks, but I do believe the data shown is comprehensive. Errol - This may not fit your needs on the financial desk. You may need to design your own. If so, let me know if I can help. Thanks.

What does it take?
The last I heard, the MISO is supposed to begin offering service on their OASIS tomorrow for service starting January 1. I wanted to let all of you know a bit about where we stand with regards to that process. I have been working with several different folks here and at the MISO to ensure that we are ready to do business with the MISO and request service. The MISO OASIS seems to be accepting our Tradewave Certs, so we just need to get our MISO login for their systems. Today, the MISO will be sending out logins to their systems via FedEx, and should arrive prior to 10am. Christi Nicolay will be receiving this information and distributing it as soon as it arrives. Unfortunately, the MISO has been (as you probably know) cutting things closer and closer to the edge. This login was supposed to be delivered a couple weeks ago, but they have just gotten around to sending it out. Hopefully, we will not have any problems with it once it arrives. As I understand it, there should be only one login set up for "EPMI 24-Hour Operations," with a login of "Enron." The password is currently only known by the MISO, but should be contained in the letter we receive tomorrow. This login is a temporary one until we complete our final registration. This final registration has been a bit more of a pain, as it has involved contractual agreements and credit obligations. I am still working with our Legal, Credit, and AP folks to get everything set up. Again, the MISO sent the final documents out fairly recently, and we have not had a great amount of time to review, analyze, and negotiate their terms. Hopefully, we will have come to agreement with MISO about those items, and be able to file that final application soon. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at my desk (X53771) or via my cellular (713-927-4680). Obviously, you can also call Christi (X37007) or Susan Lindberg (X30596) as well.

Louise, Since our conversation today, I have discovered that by terminating the Reuters contract, we will lose the entire Headline News category, as well as the Stock Quotes, Sports News and Weather News. Reuters costs over $80,000 per month. This pushes the cost of content for NewCo to over $360,000 for relatively little benefit. Therefore, contrary to what we agreed earlier, I would like to drop all of the content on the right side of the quotes screen. We will adjust screen size or insert graphics accordingly to get things looking right until our Phase 3 expansion. Please advise if you agree. Dave

Louise- I'd like to talk to about my past and future efforts in NY in relation to NETCO. I will give you a call today. Kind Regards,
NY office
Just talked to Leslie Reeves about the meeting today. Did I miss something? Did we ever talk about a presentation around readiness for a January 20th implimetation? Maybe I missed something or it went to the other Bob Hall. After the holidays, I would like to get in your calendar and discuss how Operations gets included more upfront. thanks

Louise, I am sorry to bother you at such a critical time, because I know you are doing everything you can to salvage the remaining pieces at Enron and are working long & tiresome hours to achieve this difficult matter. However, I felt like I had to at least let you know my thoughts on the following. Dave Forster & I met a couple of weeks ago on his initiative to discuss the proposed retention bonuses for my group. I was asked to review the preliminary numbers by individual. I was allowed to move dollars but NOT allowed to increase the total dollar figure for my group. Frankly, the numbers seemed pretty low. Assuming the goal is to retain key employees for Netco, I am not confident these numbers will achieve this. I know several people in my group are interviewing outside of the company. I have asked them to be patient, not make any quick decisions, and give us a chance to see this through. Dave told me the figures were based on mid year evaluations. As you know, mid year evaluations are typically lower than year end. The mid year evaluation allows the employee time to improve in order to get to the desired level by year end. I understand the need for a reference point of some sort and mid year was the latest figure available. However, because the retention numbers were based on this, they are significantly lower. My intentions are not to show any disrepect to Dave by discussing this with you but I wanted to make sure my thoughts /opinions were communicated to you. If Dave has already discussed this with you, I apologize for the duplication. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. I am on holiday & will be traveling today but can be reached on my cell at 713-446-9669. Thank you for your time.
Proposed Retention Bonuses for Netco
Louise, - It has come to my attention that some groups (back office) have been told that each individual within their group can elect to be part of the Estate or of NewCo. This is surprising to me. No such election has been offered to anyone in EnronOnline (nor do I think it would make sense to offer that), but before I tell people they do not have a choice, I wanted to check with you. - ? - On the issue of bonuses: The numbers we put together made sense to me in the context of an annual bonus with some element of retention mixed in. According to the auctions documents I looked at, retention is identified as being for a 1 year period, with 1/2 of the amount paid up front and 1/2 one year later. If this is the case, it significantly changes the complexion (i.e. more like a retention payment with an element of bonus, rather than bonus with an element of retention) and we should revisit the numbers. Dave
Bonus and Options
Louise, David asked that review the attached requests in his absence. Both are replacement contracts at equal or less value than what we offered in original contracts. Thanks. Jenai-Kari will send the info as soon as we receive it from the estate. Please place priority on the contract for Schields as we would like to have a fax as soon as possible on Thursday. Call me on Thurs am if you still do not have what you need. Thanks.
Two Replacement Contracts-please approve
Hello, only me! Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas & New Year. I ate too much and didn't drink enough because I wanted to be able to drive and visit people. The first drink I had was New Year's Eve, my mum and I went over to my brother & his girlfriend in Hayes (I DROVE & MY MUM SURVIVED!). We went out for a meal and stayed the night so I could have a drink. It's the first New Years my brother and I have ever spent with our mum so it was very nice. I'd love to see some pictures of little Scott's first Christmas. Take care & all the best for 2002 Snickie
Happy New Year

Further to our call this morning, I want to outline the attached list of outstanding matters respecting the Canadian business, which may not be exhaustive. Further, at the outset and to manage expectations, I want to emphasize that the preparation of the Canadian business for commercial start-up needs to be considered within the framework of human resource constraints, attending to finalization of acquisition agreements and arrangements with Enron Canada for the acquisition of the Canadian business interest, and as yet unclear understanding with respect to various matters of detail that are required with respect to the commencement of the Canadian business within UBSW. At the same time, I understand that there is an extraordinary amount of work that needs to be done to address the U.S. side of the North American power business and that the detail required to be considered with respect to the Canadian gas and power business may have to take a back seat to those matters for the time being. With that, the following is my list of issues that need to be considered: 1. Trading Forms: (a) Gas GTC - I have circulated my blackline comments to the form prepared in Houston, noting certain of my comments are jurisdictional to Canada but others are generic to the form in general. The blackline is attached: (b) Financial GTC - Again, I have circulated my blackline comments to the form prepared in Houston, noting certain of my comments are jurisdictional to Canada and others are more generic to the form in general. The blackline is attached: (c) Power GTC - I have not yet had the opportunity to review or consider the proposed forms prepared in Houston; and (d) Master Agreements (gas, power and financial) - I have not yet had the opportunity to review or consider the proposed forms prepared in Houston. Subject to the other matters referred to below, the priority for first trading in our market is finalizing the Gas GTC and the Financial GTC. 2. Guarantees: I attach a blacklined revision to the UBS AG form as revised by Carol, with my revisions reflecting comments to the form as commented on by Carol: Structurally, I have the following concerns: (a) I believe we should consider a more flexible description of all potential gas, power and financial transactions in the recitals to the guarantee to facilitate a broadbased guarantee from the counterparty; (b) I do not believe that the guarantee should be limited to an aggregate financial limit. This requires credit monitoring, and in my experience can result in the risk of under-guaranteed amounts with the counterparty. Further, where UBS AG has a direct covenant, it seems to me that there would be no corresponding limit on its exposure; (c) I have other comments, some of which again are jurisdictional to Canada and others of which are more generic to the form in general; (d) as I have mentioned, we need to have an approved form of guarantee to be provided from UBS AG in support of UBS Warburg Energy (Canada) Ltd. ("UBSWC"), which I assume will be in the same form merely reversed to be in favour of the trading counterparty. We will also need to understand the specific internal process we must follow to obtain the UBS AG guarantee of UBS Warburg Energy (Canada) Ltd.; (e) where UBS AG is providing guarantee support for UBSWC, we expect that some market participants or institutions will require guarantee support in forms which are different from UBS AG's customary guarantee form. In other words, various market participants such as transportation providers (NOVA, TCPL, Westcoast, Foothills, ANG, etc. ), transmission administrators (EAL, IMO), gas inventory administrators (NOVA), gas storage providers, exchange operators (Natural Gas Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange, WattExchange), power pool administrators (PPoA, IMO), etc., some of which are regulated and others of which only deal on their own terms, may require guarantee support in their own forms. Again, in these instances we will have to understand the specific internal process through which we can obtain the customized guarantee from UBS AG; and (f) we need to resolve the mechanism for providing a UBS AG guarantee for online trades entered into prior to negotiating a fully guaranteed Master Agreement. 3. Transaction Procedures: With respect to UBSWC, we need to understand the following: (a) for trading counterparties, we need a detailed understanding of the proposed execution, guarantee and daily novation procedures back to the London branch; (b) who will be the authorized signing officers and what will be the execution procedures for UBSWC for GTCs, Masters, Confirms, etc.? ; (c) for non-trading/market participation counterparties (i.e., transportation providers, transmission administrators, gas inventory providers, gas storage providers, exchange operators, power pool administrators, etc. ), are the same transaction procedures intended (i.e., is UBSWC the executing counterparty, guaranteed by UBS AG, and do the novation procedures back to the London branch apply? ); (d) are the trading confirms being updated? ; and (e) is consideration being given to procedures whereby trading confirms can be eliminated (i.e., the volume of confirms for Enron Online had become somewhat overwhelming for the Operations Group and they have indicated to me that there are proposals to remove the need for trading confirms, at least for online transactions)? 4. Regulatory/Market Participation: (a) I understand that Rob Hemstock has provided detailed documentation with respect to the permitting/market participation requirements and has partially drafted the required forms. Finalizing most of these applications requires some of the more detailed understandings I have referred to above; (b) I have not been involved in the creation of UBSWC, which I understand has been done by Stikeman Elliott, but we need to ensure that it is corporately registered to carry on business as an extra-provincial corporation in all key jurisdictions (Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia); and (c) We will require for various purposes, including obtaining regulatory and permitting approvals and authorizations, copies of the incorporation and organization documentation for UBSWC, including list of directors and officers; (d) In some instances (e.g. NEB gas and power export permits) the Canadian permit will be held by UBS Warburg Energy Ltd. and therefore we need copies of the incorporation and organization documentation for UBS Warburg Energy Ltd. We will also need to ensure UBS Warburg Energy Ltd. it is corporately registered to carry on business in Canada and that we are provided with Canadian organization documentation for UBS Warburg Energy Ltd. that we can use to satisfy the NEB of its corporate status.

Louise, I talked in detail with Caroline this am. We need to identify where Caroline is going to reside. I understand that UBS has two operations in NY - I think you and Hutchins need to decide what makes the most sense (ie synergies). It is critical that we get this resolved so that Caroline has some infrastructure around her.

Liz and Tammie: Mark Haedicke requested I get two different dates that Greg and Louise can be available to meet with the CFTC here in Houston. The CFTC will come to review our operations and ensure we are operating in compliance with the law. Mark has proposed to block out and hold Thursday, February 21, and Thursday, February 28. Then we can submit those two dates to the folks at the CFTC and see which date they prefer. Please advise if we can hold those two dates. Many thanks.
Meeting with CFTC
Louise -- The Houston legal/regulatory group is working with the UBS legal department to obtain from the London branch of UBS AG a power of attorney which will expedite the execution of agreements and other signature documents involved in starting the energy trading activities. (I will provide you specific information on the nature of this power of attorney as soon as I obtain it.) To get this in place as soon as possible, we've been asked to provide backup information with sufficient specificity that the nature of each relationship/contract and counterparty is identified. (Example 1: "Wholesale power trading master purchase and sale agreement with Duke Energy Trading and Marketing L.L.C. and related transaction confirmations". Example 2: We would specify the contract and counterparty for each of the 44 gas pipelines which we need to utilize for gas trading operations in ERCOT).
Power of Attorney re UBS AG energy trading activities
Bob Dinerstein, Head of UBS Warburg Legal will be arriving on Thursday, February 7. Bob would like to spend an hour with the business leaders to discuss the energy market and the regulatory/legal environment. I have reserved Conference RM 06716 for this meeting @ 1:00 p.m. CST. The dial-in number is listed below. Please advise only if you are unable to participate.

It was just brought to my attention by Dave Steiner that the Estate will continue to own the F(urniture), F(ixtures), and E(quipment) and that UBS will be able to use it for free so long as we are in this building. As you both know, it is possible that we will move from this floor and would like to take a good portion of the FFE with us. My understanding is that Enron is leasing the furniture in Houston and owns the furniture in Portland. Therefore, it makes sense for the Houston office to continue to use the furniture but not move it. It doesn't make as much sense here as it will be expensive for the Estate to dispose of the furniture here and it will be even more expensive to move it to sell it. Here's the issue -- the Estate should convey the furniture in Portland to UBS. Is this possible? What do we need to do to make this happen?
More Portland Issues
Something like this might be appropriate to send to the larger weekly group...please edit, revise, etc.. The first group of trading contracts will go out to 77 companies for a total of 168 counterparties (most companies have multiple entities). This group obviously does not include everyone, but we have most of our major relationships (and it is the official list that has been submitted to UBS for credit approval.) The general marketing plan is as follows: - Contact all customers this week to tell them about UBS Warburg Energy - Get contract packages in front of First Priority counterparties this week - Arrange meetings or follow-up calls as appropriate - Dave Forster and the ubswenergy.com team will be sending out online PA packages to all parties later this week (so it is important to have contacted all customers) - Once the initial wave of contracts is out and review/negotiations are uderway, we will submit a Second Priority list for credit approval The attached file has all of the First Priority counterparties, along with names for gas, power, online, credit and legal. In addition, we have columns for describing the type of agreement and its status (not pursuing, incomplete, done). Please complete and/or edit the attached and forward to either Debra Bailey or Lloyd Will. If you think you should take the lead on a particular counterparty, call up the other marketer and work it out! Progress on this effort will be reviewed during our twice-weekly calls.
UBS Warburg Energy - First Priority Trading Agreements
David, we made offers to 4 new grads a few months ago to work for Enron Canada Corp. ECC is obviously going to renege on these offers. Is there any opportunity to have these offers assigned to UBS Warburg Energy. All four of these new grads are outstanding and the timing should be aligned with business ramping up (ie June - Sept timeframe). The estate would be cooperative with assigning the offers and the students are looking for clarity/comfort.

Chris/Louise =20 While our obvious near-term priority should be to execute trading agreement= s with key CPs and jumpstart our trading, it seems to me another high prior= ity should be to try to leverage UBS' investment banking/lending relationsh= ips to uncover incremental, near-term origination opportunities.

Leveraging UBS' financial services
Dear Louise, I hope everything is well at your end. Given the fact that UBS seems be the buyer of the Enron trading part in the US I was wondering if you think it is worthwhile to think about (or discuss) an extension to Europe (or the Netherlands in particular). I am currently still employed by Enron although we are currently in the process of closing down the Enron Amsterdam office (I therefore attached my private contact details). Best regards,
Enron Netherlands
Have been reading a little about Hedge Funds (their drivers, etc.) and our ability to cater to their needs looks promising - the current energy landscape and the markets' reactions to them can only help. Will summarize all my learning's over the next couple of weeks and send them to you. Maybe we can originate a few new products catering specifically to this sector. Hope you managed to get some sleep last weekend. - R

So who was that crazy woman beating on the glass? It was great seeing you again. Sorry we weren't able to catch up in Chicago. As I said, I'm relocating to Houston. We'll be moving the Anderson gang down here next week. I'll be working in Enron Freight Markets. The learning curve is pretty vertical for now, but it's a great opportunity for me. Got any time to get together in the near future? I'd love to catch up and hear what you are up to...might even have to steal some of your great ideas and use them in Freight. I'm here through Thursday. Joel

Louise Hope alls well and you're enjoying life in Houston. One of the projects my group (Enron Credit - Syndication), are currently working on is to try and originate, structure and place a High Yield and / or Emerging Market CDO, which is made up of both Enron risks and externally originated risks. The plan would be to provide a cost effective way for Enron to hedge its credit exposure to riskier counterparties. I am not sure if Enron North America has any of this type of exposure, but would be interested to talk to someone and find out if there is any way that we might be able to help your group. I attach a short presentation which outlines the rationale for what we are doing. I am going to be in Houston the week of the 17th September and would appreciate a steer as to who would be the best person to speak to on this. Regards, Robina

Louise, I am a head hunter in London, and I specialise in the energy sector. Would you be interested in returning to the UK to work for a company with ambition and a strong balance sheet to support its intentions in online trading. You would be an excellent choice of person to lead this effort. Can we discuss this - I can be reached at the numbers below? Best Regards,

Dear Louise- I had a request from Keith Fraley as he was departing... He is interested in purchasing from Enron the equipment used by his group for the mapping function. This would include a couple of PC's, a couple of servers and the big plotter. Is this something that can be pursued? Please let me know.. Thanks,

Just wondered since we had not heard from you, whether you are still there in view of all that has happened with Enron. How is Scott doing? Hope to hear from you sometime soon. Buster, Chris & Oliver
Hi there
Louise, I am currently working in behalf of the estate of Enron. That said, I have not been given any direction on what to work on.

It's that time of year again, wanted to get everyone's comments on having a Christmas lunch, with all the women on the west desk. Dates suggested for having it are December 13 or 14th. Janie suggested having it at Zulas. I'd like to get everyone's feedback on having it, the date you like best, and any different restaurant suggestions. Last year we had a $15 limit on gifts. Also, should we invite Kim Ward and Stephanie Miller, they are part of the west desk. If I left anyone off the list, please let me know

Bryan and I decided to start putting up the Christmas decorations this week. Sunday, we got the tree out of the closet and set that up in the living room. Our plan was to do a little bit every night. By Thanksgiving, we would have a beautifully decorated house. On Monday, Bryan put the lights on the tree. Then I started unwrapping some of the ornaments.... just to look at them. Well, after I unwrapped *all* of the ornaments, we decided to finish trimming the tree. Bryan was hanging back and letting me do most of the decorating. Though I did notice that one of the first ornaments that he put on the tree was my heart shaped Nicole ornament. After we finished, we sat in the glow of the big bulb lights and admired our tree. That was when Bryan informed me that I did not find my NEW ornament. He had put something new on one of the trees. (we have a charlie brown tree in the bedroom and the big tree in the living room.) I could not find anything new on the charlie brown tree so I moved to the big tree. After surveying the big tree for a few moments, the little girl in me said, "Look for a ring, look for a ring". But the practical side of me said, "Find the ornament". Well, just about then I found a beautiful diamond ring hanging from the heart shaped Nicole ornament. My engagement ring had been on the tree the entire time. I was so focused on the decorating that I never saw it. Bryan has since been teasing me that any other woman would have known right away that there was a diamond ring on the tree. I am very happy and excited to tell everyone that Bryan and I are engaged to be married. We do not have a date, time, place or even a ctiy yet. I just couldn't wait to tell everyone. I know that I will be wearing a big smile for a long, long time! Happy Holidays, Nicole

We have two new products on the west desk that we would like to launch march 1st. The descriptions are set up and ready to go, but we need to make these RESTRICTED products just like the EP Blanco.

Hey Sean! I just thought about you yesterday because I remembered your birthday was coming up. I have no idea if this is the correct email address for you, so I won't write too much. Write back if you can - I have alot to tell you.
catching up
just got your email address from rachel. congrats on your promotion. i'm sure it's going to be alot different for you but it sounds like a great deal. my hubby and i moved out to katy a few months ago. i love it there - my parents live about 10 minutes away. new news from me - i'm having a baby - due in june. i can't even believe it myself. the thought of me being a mother is downright scary but i figure since i'm almost 30, i probably need to start growing up. i'm really excited though. rachel is coming to visit me in a couple of weeks. you planning on coming in for any of the rodeo stuff? you'll never guess who i got in touch with about a month ago. it was the weirdest thing - heather evans. i hadn't talked to her in about 10 years. seems like she's doing well but i can never really tell with her. anyway, i'll let you go. gotta get back to work. looking forward to hearing back from ya.
hey there

We would like to begin trading a new product on EOL. The location - PG&E Topock - has already been set up, but we would like to make a small change to the long description. The line which reads - "The transaction is for delivery at PG&E, El Paso." should be changed to "The transaction is for delivery at PG&E Topock" Please let me know when we can review the change, as Mike Grigsby would like to begin trading this product as soon as possible. Thanks.

I have been wondering for the last couple of months if this is THE Heather Evans that I was friends with for so long. So, I am finally writing you an email. I know you don't recognize the last name, but, it's me - Tori (Hatter). I'd love to know what is going on in your life. I was hoping you'd make it to the reunion last year. Anyway, if you get a chance, drop me an email - let's catch up.

Tee times
Hello , my name is Tori Kuykendall (One Pass BJ927934). My husband, Patrick( One Pass VF751282), and I have been One Pass members for a few years now as well as elite members on several occasions. We also use Chase Continental Visa exclusively, and my husband is a President's Club member. I have made Continental my airline of choice for as long as I can remember booking my own travel arrangements and have been a very satisfied customer in the past. This morning, however, I had a very bad experience. I booked tickets for a vacation back on September 4th for a trip from Houston to New York on December 1. Since I booked the ticket, I became pregnant and found out from my doctor last week that I will still be unable to travel on December 1st due to complications with my pregnancy. My doctor indicated to me that I may not be able to fly at all during my pregnancy, which is due to end in June. I spoke to Leroy Peterson this morning to explain the situation, and he indicated that all he could do was give me credit that would expire on September 5th, 2001 and that a $75 service would be charged to me next time I book a ticket for me or my husband. I understand that this is the same policy that you would have given me if I had just decided that I didn't feel like taking a vacation this weekend. In my opinion, this is an unacceptable policy in the event of medical complications. As you can see with my situation, it is unlikely that my husband and I will be able to plan a vacation by September of 2001 considering we will hopefully have a 2 month old child. I repeatedly asked Leroy if there was anyone else who could help me or anyone I could talk to in order to get some kind of exception to your policy. I indicated that I could provide a doctor's note if necessary. He was very rude to me, stating "You don't have to ask me 7 different times for the same thing - I already told you NO!" I had to cancel a flight for work about a month ago on Southwest airlines for the same reason, but I was hoping that I would be able to fly again by now. For your information, your competitor was very helpful. They accepted my doctor's note, gave me a credit good for one year, and will allow me to change the ticket to another person's name if I am still unable to use it. That ticket was also booked as a non-refundable fare. Although I have always used Continental for my personal travel, the treatment I have had in this difficult time has definitely made me second-guess my future choices. If there is anything you can do to help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi. I am an employee at Enron and I have applied for an infant spot in the new day care center. I was wondering when we would be notified as to whether or not we have been accepted. I know the center doesn't open until September, but for me it will be first time child care and I need to line something up if I do not get in. Also , do you know an exact date for the scheduled opening? Thanks for your help.

John, I maybe "seeing ghosts" but the prospects of us getting paid under the current form of paper are remote. As per my voicemail, the following changes need to made: 1. Performance Bonuses - needs to be small caps (ie performance bonuses) 2. remove the words "to be provided to you under your existing bonus opportunity" so the sentence reads " This memorandum describes performance bonuses for calendar year 2001 performance..." 3. after affiliate, insert " or any of the respective successors, assigns, representatives, trustees or administrators" 4. specify "U.S $"

Hi John. Here is the spreadsheet. A couple of comments/assumptions: Only trades done after 8/26/01 are considered (bid week started on the 27th in August). Only North American physical gas products are considered. All numbers are in USD; an assumed conversion of 1.40 CAD/1 USD is used for the Canadian CAD trades. For index pricing, an index of 3.00 USD is used. Since on Sep 25, only the spot trades done during Aug 27-30 actually roll off, there isn't much of a rolloff on that date. There is a much larger rolloff after Oct. 25. The first sheet has the summary data. Each column represents the net cash we owe a particular customer as of that date. If they owe us, the value is set to 0. The other two sheets are supporting data. Actually, the 1st sheet is just a copy of the second one, but the spreadsheet takes so long to calc, it is easier to play around with the summary page if you remove the dependencies on the third sheet. Call me if you have any questions/requests. (713/504-7540).

John & Louise, I can imagine that both of you are very busy but I thought I would drop you a quick line updating you on the status of the Sundance B PPA. We received the necessary consents to split the PPA into two from both TransAlta and the Balancing Pool last week. We expect the regulation enabling the split to be passed by the Government during the week of November 12, 2001 thereby forming two units PPA's effective as of that date. Don Miller and his team are prepared to smile and dial on Monday October 29, 2001 thereby contacting the list of identified customers and initiating the process. I will send you a timeline shortly outlining the entire process from start to finish. If you have any qustions please call me. Derek

As promised, attached is the second update on our British Energy hedging program. We have been very successful in the last few weeks moving a number of deals forward. Other retail marketers are starting to come out of the woodwork to purchase power for retail intitiatives. The pending deals listed are those with >50% probability of closing. Obviously, none of these deals are binding, and as we execute some of these, we will re-evaluate the position. Cheers, Paul D

A follow up to your questions on the accounting for the above: HPL - when Gosset began marking the position 9\30, our balance sheet gave your book the $33 Million annuity that we held as the difference between the $2.34 (original swap price with B of A) and the market price at the time of the bammel unwind. He obviously needed this amount to keep your book whole when he began marking it. Included in the $33 was the original $1.2 bid\offer spread. On October 1, when Jeff pulled the total marked value off of schedule C and recognized the income, he recognized the bid\offer spread as well. All Accounting looks clean! Pan Nat - The day 1 booking of the arbitration changes resulted in a $18 MM loss that we booked to the office of the chair. Since that time I am told that all of the related resid positions that you now hold are marked everyday and taken into income. Again accounting looks fine. The only two items that remain in the "Wes Colwell" accrual book are the (1) mark of the Napoleonville pad gas and the related hedge (scheduled to begin the withdrawls 8\02) and (2) the hedge of the financial obligation to fill the Enron 1 cavern with financial gas. You locked in the capital contribution for about $20 million with the hedge. The hedge began liquidating in September and we began paying Bridgeline. The payments take place for 4 months. Call me with any questions

Louise and John, Thank you for having the meeting with all Gas and Power origination this morning. I was very impressed by the employee attendance and your responses to individuals' concerns. I would recommend having periodic meetings in the future. My only disappointment was the most of my questions should have been articulated by my employees because they were concerns and queries articulated to me these past few days. I have appropriately chided them and will chalk it up to stage fright. Regards, Mrha

Attached is a new draft press release. First thing in the morning, we need to discuss whether to release this. Please contact Steve Kean, Mark Palmer or me with your comments. Thank you.
Draft Press Release
Here's what I have so far (who are we supposed to tell about this??) (i) Broker Margins Approx: $50mm Availability: End of Week Probability: 85% Current position (initial margin) $60mm out. John Arnold will tomorrow bring a large portion of this back by moving positions to our Paribas credit line (we have a $75mm line which we are only using $15mm of). I am working on the rest, which is spread across various other EGM books. (ii) Peoples JV Approx: $135mm Availability: Within month Probability: 50% We have (i) $10mm in the enovate bank account ($20mm in total, 50:50 Enron Peoples), (ii) $40mm storage inventory and (iii) $75mm in a pre-pay. (iii) Emmissions Reductions Credits (held by West Power). Approx: $25.5mm Availability: Dependent on whether financing Probability: 50% If the vehicle is rolled, then we could look to use the additional capacity. The vehicle will be rolled next week. (iv) Mariner - Zero ($2mm in bank) Deffner's group working on EGM's $400mm and Joe Gold is ready to go with his $300mm. So that's good, we should be able to get some of this off.
Cash
John: Listed below are questions that the banks have asked us to address in the meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10:00am in Room 20C2. JPMorgan Chase and Citi/SSB are doing due diligence for a short term liquidity facility. They have specifically asked for a better understanding of the T&M business. I suspect you have a canned presentation that you use. That will be fine. They are very focused on cash generation. Trading & marketing business: a) What effect of a global slowdown on the business both short-term and long-term? b) If capital is restricted to T&M companies in general, can ENE continue to grow volumes? c) What happens to ENE's earnings & cash flow if volume growth slows / declines - is there an annuity part of the business? (How much of future cash flow has been monetized through pre-paid transactions?) d) What happened to ENE in Europe during the quarter (volumes grew substantially and no earnings growth)? i) Is this a long-term phenomenon? ii) Can / will something similar happen in North America e) What is the status of global deregulation? i) Scaling back venture in Japan? ii) Reports that gas competition in Germany is facing difficulties iii) Laying off people in Europe f) What is current VaR - if not lower than at 12/00 & 6/01 - why not?
Meeting 10/24 at 10:00am JPMorgan/Chase and Citi/SSB
Commissioner Wood has issued extensive questions on direct access, continuing his harassment of ESPs. He raises the issues of moving the termination date back from September 20 and supposed cost shifting. He also asks for copies of contracts with customers and extensive information about those contracts. Comments are due Nov 2 with replies due Nov 8. We plan to respond aggressively through our coalition, Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AReM). We WILL NOT be providing any contract information.
