Best, Jeff
dev33
Congratulations.
dev33
Even though it's the EEI agreement, getting Edison to agree to sign something is an achievement.
dev33
Good luck landing deals.
dev33
Jeff
dev33
Guess this means we support it?
dev33
(Kidding.)
dev33
Cool.
dev33
Thanks for the info.
dev33
FYI.
dev33
Sure the desk wants the details kept confidential, but thought folks might be interested to know.
dev33
Rob: Here's a quick and dirty list of some lessons from California that Alberta may not want to repeat.
dev33
Steve, let me know if I've missed any messages we're using to describe California's woes (or mangled any, for that matter. If you have any questions, don't hestitate to get in touch. Best, Jeff
dev33
Great presentation, but the message seems a little blurred.
dev33
OK.
dev33
It's done.
dev33
Got two places.
dev33
One sleeps 8 and is big and is where we can have the party.
dev33
The other sleeps 6 and is very close by.
dev33
Right on the beach, so surfing will be a must.
dev33
Who is on your list for invites so far?
dev33
Dave/Sandi: FYI.
dev33
In Joseph's absence, his fill-in asked that I take a call yesterday from the Mayor's office.
dev33
They called to confirm the meeting set up for Dave, Mike Day and Bev Hanson on Nov. 29th at 4 PM to discuss the serious electricity shortage in SF.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Chuckles is a must invite.
dev33
Counting on Paul.
dev33
I'm adding my two cents.
dev33
Here's 3, but not 4.
dev33
Few things.
dev33
1) I considered that everything was "material."
dev33
That reasonable?
dev33
2) Dylan, I struggled with the ban on preservatives, but ultimately decided it was unusual, not extraordinary, since the book sez that any write down of inventory is unusual, as opposed to extra.
dev33
But a case for extra can still, be made I think.
dev33
3) I did not include the 1994 litigation expense associated with the ban, since it seems to me that it's merely an expense that they would have taken in 1994, as opposed to a "potential litigation outcome" that they'd make an allowance for---I could be wrong, though.
dev33
4) Finally, I assumed that the depreciation-related gain was already included in the 1995 "income from continuing operations" number, and consequently included it as a footnote on my spreadsheet, rather than make it an explicit line item in the income statement.
dev33
I'll look at Kim's #4 and if I have any comments, I'll add them to hers and circulate.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
OK.
dev33
Having taken a second look at the spreadsheet I sent yesterday, here's a revised sheet (there was a math error in the original), and my adds to Kim's #4.
dev33
Most significant issue: the discrepancy between Kim's and mine is that Kim's assumes that the $9,5 million includes pluses from things like dep/gain on sale, while mine assumes that it doesn't (i.e., Kim subtracts them, I add them).
dev33
No big deal, we just need to make an assumption and go with it.
dev33
There's a couple of other differences that are identified in the answer to #4--again, just need to make the call either way.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
My understanding is the same.
dev33
Content looks good.
dev33
Message points been developed in the event they're needed?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Will have any comments to you pronto.
dev33
See attached.
dev33
Just a couple of typos corrected in strike-out-underline.
dev33
Question: Thought I'd included the gain on sale as "unusual" as opposed to "extraordinary."
dev33
If we leave it out, are we assuming it's already included in the $9.5MM?
dev33
If so, we might want to include a note at the bottom of the spreadsheet like, $9.5 MM figure includes $750,000 gain on sale of certain assets completed in 1995."
dev33
Or am I just totally out lunch on this one. Thanks. This one was a little messy. You did a great job of pulling it together. Best, Jeff
dev33
My suggested edits are in CAPS.
dev33
FYI.
dev33
I like it.
dev33
Give it one final read through for final refinements.
dev33
Then send to bay guardian, sf weekly, pacific sun (marin), (and the east bay has a weekly mag, too, the name of which escapes me--might be out of berkeley).
dev33
Any of these would give good exposure, and likelihood of someone of your caliber getting in is pretty high.
dev33
get better.
dev33
No problem.
dev33
Hi, Marcie.
dev33
I've added two things to the end of the update: PG&E/Edison sue the PUC in federal court to recover procurement costs.
dev33
Edison files proposal with PUC to declare rate freeze is over and establish a new rate freeze at 110% of old rate freeze that would last for 5 years.
dev33
I don't have all the details to fill in, though some of the details might be available from the PG&E/Edison websites, and Sue and Mona might have additional info.
dev33
Hope this helps.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Might be useful to observe how others react prior to responding.
dev33
The good senator may have to fight over the surplus with a lot of teachers looking to spend the $$s on school books.
dev33
That fight could get interesting if the backdrop for the debate is a CEC report that sez "no problem, we're in charge."
dev33
I'm sure we'd be willing to build a few plants for $2 billion...
dev33
my pleasure.
dev33
No, you're correct.
dev33
In the spreadsheet, there were three sorts of "items": discontinued ops, unusual items, extraordinary items, and accounting changes.
dev33
The sale of the assets came about in the attempt to "trim the fat" (or manage earnings, you make the call).
dev33
Here's the line item from my spreadsheet: It came right after the entries for the "unusual loss from the government ban."
dev33
I included it with the "unusual" items (right after discontinued ops and right before extraordinary items. Big question is, is it included already. I assumed not, since (though it's confusing), the problem makes is sound like none of the additional "agenda items" were accounted for. I don't think it's a huge deal, though. The questions left a lot of room for ambiguity. Best, Jeff
dev33
I agree completely, which is why I think the *$(*#-ed case is confusing. Let it go. Leave as is. Think about it no more. See you tonite. Jeff
dev33
great time.
dev33
thanks a million.
dev33
sorry i had to do homework for some of it.
dev33

dev33

dev33

dev33
just let me know.
dev33
FYI.
dev33
OK!!!
dev33
