Brant Per our discussions, here is what the Oneok folks want to do. 1. We currently have 2 Masters - one with KN Marketing LP (now known as Oneok Energy Marketing & Trading Company, LP) and one with Oneok Gas Marketing Company. Pursuant to the Guaranty that you just received, both Masters are currently guaranteed by Oneok Inc. In addition, both Masters are currently guaranteed by Enron Corp. under a $15,000,000 Guaranty for Onoek Gas and a $10, 000,000 Guaranty for KN. 2. The Oneok folks want Oneok Gas Marketing to assign all trades and its Master to KN Marketing LP and to terminate the KN Marketing LP Master. When all is said and done, there will be one Master with KN Marketing LP and all trading activity will be with this entity. As I mentioned to you, the Master that will remain in place has no Credit Support Annex. How much should the Enron Guaranty be for? Call me if you have any questions. Susan, Could you please prepare an assignment and Termination Agreement for this. Brant will let us know if any amendments need to be made to the Oneok Master. Carol

Sorry , I have not given you feedback earlier but I've been on vacation. Randy continues to do an excellent job. He anticipates questions and usually has the answers. He is a very dedicated employee and continues to expand on his knowledge base. He has helped the traders trade the permian and waha points on a daily basis and such commercial experience has proven to be very valuable regarding looking for alternatives to move gas. The only area for improvement that I might suggest would be to challenge others or state his opinion if he has a different opinion from others rather than not say anything or go along with the status quo. He tends to want to be nonconfrontational which is not a bad thing but this is a tough environment and he could get run over if he does not state his opinion.

Please see the attached file that reflects the multiple for each asset sale. As you can see for assets that had losses, we show no multiple. Additionally, there are some assets that have no EBITDA at all (that we are aware of), thus we show no multiple. Please let me know if this is what you expected. Thanks!

Craig - I have looked over the attached document. Based upon the draft we provided in January, Orbian has made a number of changes which are acceptable to me. Only the following present issues: 1. Paragraphs 3(a), 3(b) and 6 - The original form of this agreement had 5 years as the time period for protection and return of confidential information. We had proposed 1 year and they have now come back with 3 years. The timing under other Enron NDA's is generally 2 years. Accordingly, this time period should be suggested for these paragraphs. 2. Paragraph 3(d) - I had previously deleted the phrase "and each such copy shall be marked with the same proprietary notices that appear on the originals (if any)." Orbian now wants to keep this phrase. Since this presents an administrative burden which we do not support now, it makes little sense to maintain this with the agreement. Accordingly, it should be deleted. 3. Paragraph 7 - The added provisions of "and/or their Affiliates" should be deleted in two places. The affiliates of the parties are not third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, nor signatories to the agreement. Accordingly, any action they may have against Enron would be outside of this Agreement. Otherwise, the agreement looks fine. Please let me know if you should need anything further.

Whatever you changed on this deal, it now reads that it flows 32 hours a day! You have five strips in, each flowing for 16 hours. Also, when you change a deal, if you could make small note about what you changed in the comment section of deal entry, if really makes things go faster. We know what change to look for when we make the revision. Let me know when it is fixed. Thanks!

Karen Lemes Box 768 Los Altos, CA 94023 [email protected] To Mr. Ken Lay, I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees. Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out. And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year. As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt. The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it. Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings. Sincerely, Karen Lemes

However, each of you agreed that a standard cutoff time was acceptable for US gas, power and liquids products. The best option will be to agree to cutoff at 4pm each day (just to get an idea of the numbers we were talking about, I looked at yesterday to determine how many deals were traded after 4pm Houston time. We had three US Gas deals, and two Canadian Gas deals). After 4pm, the bridges would automatically roll new EOL deals to the next day. However, for those deals that do not bridge after 4pm, the various risk groups would need to remember that these deals are the following day's business. I am not sure how the procedures in Risk would need to be modified for the trader's position reports, as the official books would not include these late deals. Can Risk run supplemental reports to ensure that the desks have accurate positions each morning? I would appreciate any comments that you may have, and regardless, please re-confirm that a cutoff of 4pm works for each of your respective groups. Sheri x36557 Mike - any potential problems with the DPR? Peggy - we discussed briefly a few weeks back...any thoughts?

I want to take a moment to thank each of you for having a summer Analyst or Associate work on your team. I also want to remind everyone what a high stakes activity this is for Enron. Based on your recommendation, we will make offers at the end of the summer to those interns who perform, and who you endorse as a potential future member of your team. Those interns who have had a good experience and accept our offer will be the lowest risk hires we make - from any source. We will have effectively interviewed and watched them work for 2-3 months. They also have the potential to be the most effective advocates and talent scouts we have, when they return to campus. On the flip side, those who don't have meaningful assignments, or have bad experiences during the summer can severely hurt our efforts. Thank you again for being part of this very important activity. If you have any questions, or if areas of concern arise during the summer, please contact Ted Bland (x35275), Traci Warner (x33242) or me (x36671). We appreciate your contributions to this important effort for Enron. Billy

Joe, per our discussions, here are some items we want to be sure to cover/assign in our initial due diligence check list: 1. Purchase And Sale Agreement preparation and negotiation (using Rodeo PSA as template since Equilon is already familiar with said document, which was highly negotiated). This effort will include any needed side agreements. 2. Review any "corporate" or "partnership" ownership issues affecting any pipelines or segments within the assets. 3. Review of rights-of-way, easements, real property licenses, fees lands, leaseholds and other real property interests comprising the assets (explore possibility of obtaining help from ROW people within GPG). Analysis must include right-to-assign and no-conversion- of- common-carrier-assets-to-private-use issues, as well as other standard issues, including telecommunication rights, etc. 4. Physical inspection of real and personal property in the deal for safety/environmental/operating issues. 5. Tariff/FERC/regulatory/property tax issues affecting the assets. (Need to be sure that assets have been properly listed & reported to taxing authorities. Need to "assume" existing tariffs where required.) 6. HSR (antitrust) and "shop closing" issues. SEC disclosure issues, and relationship b/w Phoenix and Koch S-1. 7. Employee/benefit/organized labor issues (three unions/collective bargaining agreements involved). 8. Existing commercial contracts and "shipper" issues. Any long-term or "out- of- the- money" situations? 9. Any outstanding claims, assessments, levies, penalties, protests or litigation (both environmental and non-environmental). 10. Completion of any remaining business due diligence needed to confirm/justify purchase price. 11. Environmental review---with emphasis on "pricing" existing enviro matters we would be assuming/undertaking. 12. UCC lien search and any bulk sales issues. Of course, the list above is just for openers. There are a number of things I have undoubtedly missed. We have our standard check list that we use on these deals, and I know you will have a number of additional items you will want to include in the overall list. We should probably compare notes on the initial master list before the "kick-off" meeting on 7/26. Thanks. SWD

Met with Jake Thomas (Origination) and Paul Choi (Mid-market). It looks like we have concurrence on the ENA side of the house. How do we run the traps on the EES side (i.e., Guy Devault, Jeff Ader, and whoever??)? I'd like to go to Nevada next week (thursday,friday time frame) and start meeting with the Commission and OCA.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Enron Industrial Markets The Transaction Development group (TD) is responsible for corporate development, transaction execution and portfolio management activities within EIM. TD is responsible for asset and corporate acquisitions to support EIM's efforts in the Forest Products and Steel industries. TD works with EIM's Forest Products and Steel Origination groups to structure and execute complex transactions for EIM's customers. TD also manages EIM's equity investments, such as EIM's ownership position in Papier Masson, Ltee, a paper mill in Quebec, Canada. TD is comprised of approximately 20 professionals with a wide range of backgrounds including investment banking, commercial banking, management consulting, law, project development, accounting and engineering. In addition, the majority of the analysts and associates within EIM work in TD since it provides a strong base of deal experience for junior members of our organization. Enron Freight Markets Enron Freight Markets has continued to expand the transportation services offered to its customers and completed several flatbed truck moves outbound from Georgia this week. There was a shortage of flatbed equipment supply in this market and EFM was able to obtain more than three times the normal margin on each move. IN THE NEWS "Enron's bilateral internet trading platform, EnronOnline, was launched in November 1999 and is the largest e-commerce site on the planet based on the value of its transactions. As EPRM went to press, it had average daily trading volume of $3.5 billion, accounting for nearly 50% of the company's revenues from wholesale marketing activities." -- Energy Power Risk Management, May 2001 WELCOME New Hires EIM - Cheryl Lindeman ENA - Chris Bystriansky, Paula Craft, Eugene Lee, Bhalachandra Mehendale, Sarah Wooddy Transfers (to or within) ENA - Grace Taylor, Steven Irvin, Dina Snow NUGGETS & NOTES Enron is hosting the Chicago Energy Risk Management Seminar at The Drake Hotel in Chicago on June 14, 2001.

EnronOnline Statistics Below are the latest figures for EnronOnline as of May 29, 2001. * Total Life to Date Transactions > 1,015,000 * Life to Date Notional Value of Transactions > $610 billion NEWS FROM THE GLOBAL FLASH Enron arranges first gas pipeline import into Italy Enron has continued its pioneering activities in the Continental gas market by arranging the first gas import into Italy. The Italian team worked with the Continental Gas desk to arrange this strategically important agreement with Blugas SpA., the wholesale gas company formed by the municipalities of Cremona, Lodi, Mantova and Pavia in north-eastern Italy. Enron has sourced 100,000 cubic metres per day of natural gas from northern Europe to transport to Italy, transiting it through Germany and Switzerland, despite fierce resistance from Ruhrgas and TransitGas respectively. Aside from isolated LNG imports by incumbent monopolies this is the first time that any company has managed to import natural gas by pipeline into Italy since the Italian gas sector was officially liberalised in August 2000. The gas, which started flowing at 06.00 on Thursday 17th May 2001, will be used to meet the needs of two thirds of Blugas' residential customers within the four municipalities. The current contract lasts for five months. Congratulations to Fabio Greco, Carsten Haack, Didier Magne, Michael Schuh, Marco Lantieri and Daniela Uguccioni. Enron in the Middle East Enron has relinquished its stake in Dolphin Energy, the joint venture company formed to develop gas reserves in Qatar. Enron has agreed to transfer its 24.5 per cent stake in the project to the United Arab Emirates Offset Group (UOG), the majority shareholder. The agreement allows Enron to deploy capital elsewhere and gives UOG the opportunity to seek new partners before the project moves into its next phase. Development of the Emden/Oude gas hub moves ahead fast An important milestone in the evolution of the new gas trading hub on the Dutch-German border was reached last week. Last Friday some of the major European gas players held a meeting to officially establish the Emden/Oude gas hub. Although Enron had already initiated the development of the Emden/Oude hub by making a market through EnronOnline as early as December 2000, the goal of this meeting was to set up a working group similar to the Zeebrugge focus group who can work on setting a legal framework for the Emden/Oude hub. Enron was elected as the only new market entrant in this group, reflecting the high level of respect industry peers have for Enron as a major player in the Continental gas market -- even from incumbents!

EEI Master Deb: Attached are Enron's revisions to the draft Cover Sheet and Supplement that you submitted to us. Peter Leier asked me to work with you on progressing this master in his absence. Please note that the credit provisions reflect the discussions that each of our credit departments have had over the last several months. The guarantees referred to here have already been negotiated in the context of another deal (which will be brought under the umbrella of this Master when it is executed), and they are due to be executed and delivered by each party very soon. We have included our standard provision that will bring all outstanding transactions listed on Attachment A under the terms of the EEI MAster, but we have not included an attachment yet b/c there may be several outstanding transactions by the time we execute this master. Also note that my comments have borrowed heavily on the provisions of the ISDA agreement and schedule that I understand is being executed this week between Engage and Enron North America Corp. For example, you had checked the box on the Cover Sheet electing sec. 2.4 to apply, but that provision would be inconsistent with the ISDA Schedule 5(e). We believe it is preferable to follow the basic structure of the EEI documentation as other industry members are doing, leaving the "boilerplate" Master unmarked and putting all the changes at the end of the Cover Sheet, and so that's where you'll see the standard language that Enron adds to the Master. We believe that, true to the bilateral nature of these arrangements, such changes benefit both parties. Rather than attaching a separate Supplement, we would add to the Cover Sheet the changes you proposed in the Supplement after we've negotiated those changes. Please call me with any questions or comments. << File: Engage Energy America, LLC CS 3-28-01.doc >> << File: Engage Energy America, LLC Attachments.doc >> << File: EngageEEISUPPLEMENT032701.doc >> Regards, Janice EB3811 Assistant General Counsel, Enron North America Corp. 713-853-1794 (Fax: 713-646-3490)

Professor Elsner is a leading expert in hurricane climate studies. who is currently investigating interannual/decadal/multi-decadal hurricane variations and shifts/trends in hurricane landfall probabilities and their relationship to climate and climate change; he also issues seasonal predictions for number of hurricanes and landfall probabilities along segments of the U.S. coastline. Moreover, he is a leading authority in non-linear dynamics and chaos theory and has published a number of papers on these topics. His talk will focus on a proposed research topic, which will provide Enron with climatological instruments for use in the insurance and long-term derivative markets. The research involves a Bayesian analysis of the longest available record of hurricane activity along the U.S. coastline. Deliverables will address the hurricane threat in the United States, but the methodology can be applied elsewhere. The techniques also can be applied to climate extremes including precipitation and temperature. The talk is scheduled for 9 a.m. and the room assignment will be announced. All are cordially invited to attend. Best regards, Todd Kimberlain

Are you aware? ----- Forwarded by Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT on 02/15/2001 09:54 AM ----- Doug Jones@ENRON 02/15/2001 08:11 AM To: Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: Upstream GRM Transactions Mike and Jeff, The following is an update we sent out to Harvard and Ospraie regarding the status of our transaction pipeline. I thought it would be of interest to both of you as well. Gentlemen, We have sent the final version of the CA to Hallwood to be signed, hopefully we will receive information either tomorrow or early next week and have a preliminary valuation and structure proposal by the end of next week. We are negotiating a CA with Nuevo and they appear anxious to get started. Their general counsel told me they have prepared a box of due diligence items to be delivered as soon as we agree on certain terms. The DevX CA should be finalized today as well and we will get started on that prospect hopefully next week also. We are still waiting on information from Chesapeake, but I spoke with Marc Rowland last week and he is getting his new reserve report finalized and will send it to us when it ready. Benton is progressing albeit slowly because of the complicated nature of the structure. We are also analyzing a new transaction that another group within Enron has originated and structured a VPP around but they may not have favorable financing. It could represent an opportunity for both of you to see if a small equity participation in the SPV is of interest. That's it, call me if you have any questions or comments.

Also if it is time to move on other fronts -- Benton / Nuevo -- I am ready to go. I think Nuevo will probably be under pressure in the next few weeks after missing 4q and reducing reserves. Stu

Our current cash balance with Reliant is $52,850.00. We did not request any gas for tomorrow under the swing arrangements. I have requested a wire in the amount of $22,000.00 to be made on Friday April 12th. Melissa, I had to move the payment to Friday because some Enron "approval" people are out of the office but we have a large cash balance and it shouldn't be a problem if it gets delayed untill Monday. Also, Tiffanie Wheeler discovered an error in my worksheet that impacted the cash balance effective March 1st forward. My worksheet is set up so that any change in a volume or price for a prior month will change the current cash balance. I will keep track of all changes at the bottom of the Summary worksheet in this file.

Hey Melba -- We would like to create a new product with the following product name: EPNG SoCal Ehr. This product name should be used under the product type US Gas Phy. The description should contain the same language as the EPNG SoCal Topk product except the word "Ehrenberg" should be substituted every time the word "Topock" appears. We would also like to create physical index products for this trading point, but we need to change the short description of the current NGI SoCal index product to allow for the addition of the specific point name, and we would also have to change the description of the original index product as well.

For more on the California electricity crisis, see {EXTRA <GO>}.) Newark, New Jersey, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Public Service Enterprise Group Inc., owner of New Jersey's largest utility, said first-quarter profit fell 5.9 percent because of a rate cut and higher fuel costs. Profit from operations fell to $254 million, or $1.22 a share, from net income of $270 million, or $1.25, a year earlier, spokesman Paul Rosengren said. Revenue rose 13 percent to $2.81 billion from $2.48 billion. The company has been trying to expand outside New Jersey as the state opens its energy markets to competition. Talks to buy Cinergy Corp., owner of Cincinnati's utility, for about $5.6 billion fell apart in March, possibly because it offered only a slight premium, according to newspaper reports. The company's Public Service Electric & Gas utility has 3.5 million New Jersey customers. Utility profit fell 11 percent because of a 2 percent power-rate cut and costs to refinance debt, the Newark, New Jersey-based company said. Profit at PSEG Power, the company's U.S. trading and power- generation unit, fell 19 percent because of higher fuel costs and interest expenses. Public Service uses natural gas to fuel some of its power plants. Gas prices more than doubled from a year ago. A $2 million charge for a debt payment and a $9 million gain from an accounting change made net income $261 million, or $1.25 a share, the company said. Public Service had 208 million shares outstanding in the latest quarter. It had 216 million shares outstanding a year earlier. Operating profit of PSEG Energy Holdings, which includes international business, rose 88 percent. Public Service expects to have 3.7 million customers outside the U.S. after some acquisitions are complete, the company said. California Public Service is talking with California officials about expanding six power plants in the state, Rosengren said. The plants, owned 50 percent by Public Service, generate enough power for 150,000 U.S. homes and might be ``substantially enlarged'' with turbines Public Service has on order, provided the state confirms payment for power, he said. He declined to provide details on the size of the expansion. Shares of Public Service rose 90 cents to $46.08. They have fallen 5.2 percent this year. Enron Bandwidth Unit Reports Loss For First Quarter 04/17/2001 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- Enron Broadband Services was the only one of Enron Corp.'s (ENE) business sectors to report a loss for the first quarter of 2001, company executives said in a conference call with analysts Tuesday. Before interest and taxes, Enron reported a loss for Broadband Services of $35 million for the first quarter of this year compared to a break-even quarter a year ago. "Only one sector is down from what we expected and that's broadband," Enron President and Chief Executive Jeff Skilling told investors. "The other sectors are up, significantly up." Enron Corp. reported earnings of $405 million on revenues of $50.1 billion for the first quarter of 2001. The per-diluted share earnings were 49 cents, compared with 40 cents in the year-ago period. Company executives also revised upward their per-share earnings goal for 2001 from $1.73 to the $1.75-$1.80 range. The Broadband Services loss came on $83 million in revenues compared to $59 million last year. The total value of contracts for the first quarter 2001 was $45 million, compared with $31 million in the first quarter 2000. Broadband Services delivered 43,400 terabytes of capacity in the first quarter 2001, up from 6,005 terabytes a year ago. For all of last year, the company delivered a total of 72,406 terabytes of bandwidth. Skilling said the company has contracts to deliver 40% of its goal of 570,000 terabytes this year. "We're making excellent progress in creating a commodities market," he said. Broadband Services did a total of 580 transactions in the first quarter of 2001, double the 236 transactions it did in the fourth quarter of last year. In all of 2000, the company did 321 trades. In the first quarter, Enron added 70 new customers, bringing its total up to 120, Skilling said. He added that 70% of those customers are carriers or network service providers. Skilling said he is disappointed with the slow growth of the long-term deal origination segment of the bandwidth operation. "We face one big issue in this market, the counterparties have no credit capacity," he said. The Broadband Services loss wasn't due to increased costs of seeking video-on-demand partners to replace Blockbuster Inc. (BBI). Enron and Blockbuster canceled an exclusive agreement to distribute movies via the Internet in the first quarter. Enron will seek to make deals with motion picture companies directly. The biggest snag in making those deals are Hollywood's desires. "They want to keep as much of the money as they can," said Ken Rice, chairman and chief executive of Broadband Services. -By Erwin Seba, Dow Jones Newswires, 713-547-9214 [email protected] Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. USA: Enron CEO uses naughty word on conference call. 04/17/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. (Editors note language) By C. Bryson Hull HOUSTON, April 17 (Reuters) - Enron Corp.'s top executive Tuesday publicly fired off the same vulgarity that brought President George W. Bush embarrassing headlines when he unwittingly uttered it in front of an open microphone last fall. But unlike Bush, Enron President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Skilling says he knew the microphone was on when he called a fund manager an "asshole" during a conference call to discuss first-quarter earnings with analysts. Bush made headlines on the campaign trail last year when he remarked to Vice President Dick Cheney that a New York Times reporter was a "major-league asshole," not knowing that a microphone had picked up his remark. Skilling laid down the insult after an exchange with Richard Grubman, managing director of Highfields Capital Management in Boston, who asked to see Enron's balance sheet and was told it would not be available until its inclusion in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing later this month. "You're the only financial institution that can't come up with balance sheet or cash flow statement after earnings," Grubman grumbled. "Well, thank you very much, we appreciate that. Asshole," Skilling responded with a laugh. Skilling, whose candor frequently gives his public relations staff fits, told Reuters in a telephone interview that he knew the microphone was on. "The specific fellow that I was not real happy with is a shortseller in the market. I don't think it is fair to our shareholders to give someone a platform like that they are using for some personal vested interest related to their stock position," Skilling told Reuters in an interview. "I get a little exasperated with that sort of thing, and I want people to know I am exasperated," he said. Grubman said he felt "pretty thin-skinned" about the remark. He disputed Enron's assertion the balance sheets and cash flow statements were not ready yet, particularly in light of Skilling's mention during the call that Enron reconciles its credit risks and trading book daily. "I'm sort of at a loss as to why that was such an objectionable question," Grubman said, adding: "He's got some nerve.

Enron, Dynegy post healthy profit gains on energy demand By The Associated Press 04/17/2001 Associated Press Newswires Copyright 2001. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. Energy wholesalers Dynegy Inc. and Enron Corp. posted healthy profit gains Tuesday, beating Wall Street's expectations, as demand for electricity and natural gas surged during the first quarter. Both companies saw revenues jump as well, with Enron's sales coming in nearly four times that of the previous quarter. Carol Coale, an analyst with Prudential Securities Inc. in Houston, said Enron's results were no surprise because of increased demand for power and gas in power-strapped California and across the country. "Clearly the California energy crisis has raised the bar on those power and gas trading and marketing profits," she said. "Opportunities have existed outside California as well." Meanwhile, Dynegy, a major power generator in California, said it was being "unfairly and inaccurately" accused of withholding power from the state's power market. It said that sales there "did not make a material contribution" to first-quarter results. Enron Corp. Houston-based Enron, the world's top buyer and seller of natural gas and electricity, said Tuesday that it earned $425 million, or 49 cents per share, in the three months ended March 31, compared with $338 million, or 40 cents per share in the year-ago period. This year's results include a $19 million, or 2 cents per share gain, due to the adoption of new accounting standards; excluding the item, Enron earned $406 million, or 47 cents per share. The result beat comparable expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call, who predicted earnings of 45 cents per share. First-quarter revenues nearly quadrupled to $50.1 billion, compared to revenues of $13.1 billion in the first three months of 2000. Enron also increased its 2001 overall earnings prediction to $1.75 to $1.80 per share. Previously, the company said it expected 2001 earnings of $1.70 and $1.75 per share, and the consensus of analysts was for $1.74 per share. "Enron's wholesale business continues to generate outstanding results. Transaction and volume growth are translating into increased profitability," said Jeff Skilling, president and CEO of Enron. The company attributed the increase to continued growth in its wholesale energy-trading business, acceleration in its retail energy services and in its broadband Internet business. In its wholesale business, Enron resells power and gas to utilities and other large customers. That business accounted for 96 percent of its first-quarter revenues. Shares of Enron rose $1.04 to $60.48 in trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange. Dynegy Inc. The Houston-based energy marketer said Tuesday it earned $139.5 million, or 41 cents a share, in the first three months of 2001, more than double that from first-quarter 2000 earnings of $69 million, or 26 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call expected Dynegy's first-quarter earnings to be 40 cents a share. The results include a $2 million gain for an accounting change, which did not affect the per-share figure. Revenues for the first three months of the year were $14.2 billion, nearly triple the $5.3 billion reported in the same period a year ago. Dynegy chairman and chief executive officer Chuck Watson attributed the increase to cold weather demands in northern states, not the California power shortage. In a statement following the release of the earnings, president and chief operating officer Steve Bergstrom defended the company, saying it had been "unfairly and inaccurately accused of withholding power from the California market." "As we have repeatedly communicated to California policy-makers and regulators and to industry officials, we remain ready and willing to generate and sell power to any and all buyers, at fair and reasonable prices, when they are able to provide appropriate assurances that they will fulfill their obligation to pay for those purchases, Bergstrom said. Dynegy said it has softened nearly all of its prospective credit exposure in the California market through an agreement with the California Department of Water Resources to provide the state with up to 2,300 megawatts of electricity through 2004. Shares of Dynegy rose $2.17 to $55.32 in trading on the NYSE. --- On the Net: http://www.enron.com http://www.dynegy.com Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. USA: Enron Broadband posts expected loss amid mixed growth. By C. Bryson Hull 04/17/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. HOUSTON, April 17 (Reuters) - Enron Corp.'s nascent broadband Internet division posted an expected quarterly loss on Tuesday amid a weak telecommunications market and mixed growth in the Houston energy giant's flashiest unit. Enron Broadband Services reported a loss of $35 million on $83 million in revenue, compared with a break-even first quarter in 2000, when it had $59 million in revenues. Enron has consistently said it did not expect its broadband arm to record a profit until 2002 and instead has offered other measures of growth by which to benchmark the unit's progress. The broadband unit encompasses two distinct segments: the bandwidth intermediation business, which turns Internet bandwidth into a tradeable commodity; and the content services division, which engages in sales and transmission of Internet content. The bandwidth trading unit recorded 580 transactions in the first quarter of 2001, compared with 321 in all of last year. It delivered 43,400 terabytes - a unit equal to one trillion bytes - in the first quarter, compared with 6,000 in the similar year-ago period, a more than sixfold increase. But Enron President and Chief Executive Jeff Skilling said he was disappointed with the rate at which Enron is signing large, structured bandwidth contracts, which he said are a casualty of the low credit capacity of potential counterparties. "If you look at most of the large telecom companies right now, you would be hard-pressed to assume they could perform on a contract that is anything more than six months to a year long," Skilling said. Enron's bread-and butter, developed in the natural gas business, is creating long-term commodity deals that are geared to combat price volatility for its customers. Skilling said Enron is looking at ways to use the inherent credit of telecommunication companies' assets to finance the deals, much as Enron did with credit-poor natural gas companies in the mid-1980s. "This is going to come a little slower than what we expected," he acknowledged. The content services unit had suffered some setbacks during the first quarter, including the premature dissolution of its marquee 20-year video on demand deal with Blockbuster Inc. EBS also trimmed 20 percent of its staff last month, moving them out of the unit and into other parts of the parent company. "The losses in bandwidth have nothing to do with Blockbuster," Skilling told investors. Rather, the changes came as a result of Enron slashing $500 million off the $750 million it had set aside to build its network. The weak telecom market means a long bandwidth supply and an easy way for Enron to secure contractual access to bandwidth at low prices, Skilling has said. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. WSJ.COM WRAP: Enron, Dynegy Post Immpressive Results 04/17/2001 Dow Jones News Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) A WSJ.COM News Roundup HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- Electricity suppliers Enron Corp. (ENE) and Dynegy Inc. (DYN) posted strong first-quarter results as their wholesaling and trading businesses thrived in a market roiled by California's energy crisis. Enron on Tuesday reported net income that rose 26% to $425 million, or 49 cents a diluted share, compared with net income of $338 million, or 40 cents a share, a year earlier. Results in the latest quarter include a gain related to the required adoption of new accounting standards. Excluding the gain, the company earned $406 million, or 47 cents a share, two cents better than the estimate from analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call. Revenue in the quarter surged to $50.13 billion from $13.15 billion a year earlier. The energy giant also boosted its earnings outlook for 2001 to $1.75 to $1.80 a share. As recently as March 23, the company said it expected to earn $1.70 to $1.75 a share. The current consensus estimate of analysts is $1.75 a share for 2001. "Enron's wholesale business continues to generate outstanding results. Transaction and volume growth are translating into increased profitability," Jeff Skilling, Enron's president and chief executive, said in a prepared statement. "In addition, our retail energy services and broadband intermediation activities are rapidly accelerating." The company's wholesale-services operations reported a 76% increase in income before interest, minority interests and taxes, or IBIT, to $755 million, led by growth in its natural-gas and power businesses. In addition, Enron's new wholesale commodity businesses, including coal, steel and forest products, contributed to the quarter's strong results. Enron's assets and investments unit posted a 73% drop in IBIT to $59 million because of lower earnings from merchant investments and related assets. Enron said IBIT at its retail energy services group surged to $40 million from $6 million a year earlier, amid a 60% increase in contracting in the period. The company said its new long-term energy-management customers include Owens-Illinois Inc., Quaker Oats Co., Eli Lilly & Co., J.C. Penney Co. and Saks Inc. The transportation-services unit reported IBIT that inched up 3.9% to $133 million, amid strong demand for natural-gas pipeline services. Its Portland General Electric investor-owned utility posted a 43% drop in IBIT to $60 million, which reflects higher power costs, reduced investment income and the effect of certain regulatory events. Enron's broadband-services operations reported a $35 million loss before interest, minority interests and taxes for the quarter. The company said it added 70 new broadband customers this quarter for a total of 120 customers. Unlike beleaguered utilities such as PG&E Corp.'s Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Edison International's Southern California Edison Co., Enron's Portland General has benefited from the power crisis in California, where a botched utility-deregulation plan combined with general power shortages have driven average wholesale prices 10 times as high as a year ago. Before the energy crisis, Portland General locked in low prices and more power than it needed through long-term contracts. Then, by the third quarter of 2000, Portland General nearly tripled its revenue from selling excess power on the wholesale market. The higher revenue led to higher profits, which allowed the company to rescind a 17% rate increase that was to go into effect in January. Meanwhile, the inability to keep up with soaring electricity prices forced Pacific Gas to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this month. Pacific Gas and Southern California Edison weren't allowed to fully pass on the high power costs to customers because, under deregulation, they agreed to assume the risk of fluctuating power prices. For the first two years of this arrangement, wholesale prices were so low that the utilities collected billions of dollars extra that they used to pay down old debts. But with skyrocketing wholesale costs, Pacific Gas and Edison accrued billions of dollars of power-purchase liabilities. By early this year, both had stopped paying many of their obligations to conserve cash. Dynegy's Net Income, Revenue More Than Double Dynegy, a big supplier of electrical energy to the California market, saw its first-quarter net income more than double amid a surge in revenue. The Houston-based company posted net income of $139.5 million, or 41 cents a diluted share, compared with net income of $69 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding a $2 million gain from an accounting change, Dynegy earned $137.5 million, or 41 cents a share, a penny better than the mean estimate from analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call. Revenue in the quarter more than doubled to $14.17 billion from $5.35 billion. Dynegy's earnings a year earlier include a gain of $33.8 million from the sale of certain power-generation facilities, and a charge of $44.2 million for merger-related costs and the sale and impairment of certain liquids assets. Excluding the items, the company earned $79.4 million, or 26 cents a share, for the 2000 first quarter. The company's outstanding shares rose 16% to 337.7 million as of March 31 from 291.9 million shares a year earlier. Dynegy attributed first-quarter growth to "nationwide asset optimization, increased customer origination and risk-management activities." The company said it benefited from strong industry fundamentals in both natural gas and power. It capitalized on a return to seasonal winter weather and the supply and demand imbalances affecting multiple energy commodities. Earlier this month, Dynegy raised its first-quarter earnings outlook to 40 cents a share. At the time, analysts had expected the power supplier to earn 31 cents a share. Dynegy's marketing and trading unit, which also runs power generators, turned in another strong performance, accounting for 73% of the company's net income for the quarter. The segment earned $100.3 million for the first quarter, nearly double the $50.3 million it posted a year earlier. The company said its marketing and trading operation benefited from seasonal winter weather across the U.S. and strong supply and demand fundamentals, which allowed for higher prices. Increased origination activity from Dynegy's European operations also contributed to the segment's positive results. Dynegy said generation operations at West Coast Power, its joint venture with NRG Energy Inc., Minneapolis, didn't make a "material contribution" during the quarter. But the venture reduced its prospective credit exposure in the California market through its agreement with the California Department of Water Resources to provide the state with up to 2,300 megawatts of energy through 2004. In February, Dynegy joined Reliant Energy Inc. and Mirant Corp. to form a creditors committee to explore options for getting paid for electricity sold to the California Independent System Operator and California's investor-owned utilities, amid frustration with the slow progress in California's attempts to solve the energy crisis.

Action on energy trading floors reverberate in power-hungry California By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Business Writer 04/17/2001 Associated Press Newswires Copyright 2001. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. In Houston, it's known as "the power corner." Separated by just a few city blocks, four major power wholesalers run trading exchanges that have a strong influence on energy prices nationwide. The trading floors run by Enron Corp., Reliant Energy Inc., Dynegy Inc. and Duke Energy Corp. represent ground zero in a power crisis threatening the quality of life in much of the western United States this summer. By seizing upon opportunities created by deregulation, the energy traders have turned up the juice in the electricity business in ways similar to how junk bond traders ignited Wall Street in the 1980s and venture capitalists fueled Silicon Valley last decade. And thanks to an exemption granted in the early 1990s, nobody monitors daily trading to detect unfair or illegal practices. Utility bills in California have gone up nearly fourfold in the past year, to $27.1 billion. Without fundamental changes in the energy market, this year's bill will rise to $70 billion - more than $2,000 for every person in the state, according to operators of the state's power grid. The staggering electricity price increases have pushed the state's largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric, into bankruptcy and left No. 2 Southern California Edison on the brink of insolvency. California's once-ample budget surplus also has shriveled, as the state is spending about $50 million a day to buy enough power to keep the lights on. The energy wholesalers say they're doing nothing wrong. They blame the high prices on the rising price of natural gas, burned to generate electricity, and the state's botched deregulation plan. By failing to line up reliable power ahead of time and by imposing price caps for consumers, the state put itself into this mess, the companies say. "There have been accusations of wrongdoing for eight months now and there isn't a shred of evidence to support the allegations," said Gary Ackerman, executive director of the Western Power Trading Forum, a Menlo Park, Calif., trade group. "People are very angry and frustrated about electricity right now and attorneys are trying to take that anger out on us." Attorneys general in Washington, Oregon and California are probing whether the wholesalers have violated antitrust laws or engaged in unfair business practices. A California state senate committee may issue subpoenas for records and the testimony of top energy executives, and at least five lawsuits accuse energy companies of market abuses. "This is the best fraud I have ever seen," attorney Michael Aguirre of San Diego, who is involved in one of the class-action suits. "The generators are doing everything that you think that they might be doing, only it's worse than you ever imagined." The lawsuits and investigations allege that generators have conspired to hijack billions of dollars from consumers and taxpayers by withholding electricity from energy-starved California until the last minute, and then supplying it at exorbitant prices. At Enron's headquarters in Houston, energy specialists among the company's 1,500 traders swap electricity and natural gas contracts like stocks and bonds. Mathematicians, meteorologists and economists make complex calculations to identify where to buy the cheapest power and where to deliver it at the greatest profit. "They are extremely good at what they do," said Severin Borenstein, director of the University of California at Berkeley's energy institute. The Internet has provided the traders with the tools to do their jobs even better. Online marketplaces and password-protected exchanges provide them with invaluable real-time information on the buying and selling patterns of their rivals. Two lawsuits allege that traders have parlayed the sensitive information collected online to fix prices artificially high, a violation of antitrust laws. Aguirre has spent six months assembling reams of data about traders and their activities, but he has yet to develop concrete evidence to prove his price-fixing allegations. A March 21 report by California's electricity grid managers concluded that, between last May and November, 98 percent of trading bids were driven up by noncompetitive patterns of behavior. The California Independent System Operator report stopped short of accusing wholesalers of illegal market manipulation, but it did determine that the wholesalers collected as much as $6.9 billion in "unjust and unreasonable" rates. Enron says its trading system, particularly the online exchange, has resulted in fairer and more efficient markets. The allegations of market abuse are "just some sour grapes from people who didn't come up with the idea in the first place," said Enron spokesman Eric Thode. The online exchanges and other industry Web sites provide the energy traders with a window to see the energy availability and bids in markets around the country. Power industry critics, however, contend the Web's instant access provides the traders a way to exploit a delicate supply-demand balance. If the scale is tipped even slightly toward an inadequate supply, they say, prices soar and energy traders reap huge gains. "The whole trading thing is just a front that lets them game the market," Aguirre said. "They can get away with it because no one (outside the industry) can figure out what they are doing." Whatever the energy traders are doing, it's not closely monitored by government regulators. In 1993, the trading of energy products received an exemption from oversight by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a federal agency that oversees commodity and options trading to protect markets from fraud and manipulation. Energy is the only commodity that has received a blanket CFTC exemption. The exemption was shepherded beginning in 1992 by then-CFTC chairwoman Wendy Gramm, wife of Texas Sen. Phil Gramm. She left the CFTC three months before the exemption received final approval in 1993. That same year, she joined the Enron board of directors, a post that last year earned her $50,000. Gramm, an economist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, said she doesn't recall talking with Enron about the exemption, which she characterized as a routine matter triggered by an antitrust case involving crude oil. "It really didn't have anything to do with Enron or any specific company," said Gramm. "It had to do with a general market problem." In granting the exemption, the CFTC accepted the industry's contention that it shouldn't be subjected to the government's usual commodities regulation because its markets are dominated by "large sophisticated commercial entities" capable of protecting themselves - in short, that there would be no little people to hurt. At the time, then-CFTC commissioner Sheila Bair scoffed at the reasoning, comparing energy traders to boiler room sales operations that had the potential to violate federal anti-fraud laws. "Is it really that much of burden on market participants (for the CFTC) to retain a sliver of authority regarding fraudulent activity?" Bair wrote in a dissenting opinion. Wholesale electricity prices negotiated by the traders are eventually compiled in quarterly reports and reviewed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. And while FERC by law is supposed to prevent unfair prices, a majority of its commissioners have advocated a hands-off approach to California's energy crisis, insisting that the market can correct itself. That posture may finally be changing somewhat. On Wednesday in San Jose, Calif., FERC chairman Curt Hebert told lawmakers that his agency hopes to begin "monitoring and mitigating" the wholesale electricity market by May 1. This could allow FERC to preemptively influence prices. Energy economists who have studied the market see signs of ruthless, but perfectly legal, behavior. Paul Joskow, an MIT economist, concluded in January that electricity producers deliberately withheld power to drive up prices. "Every business exercises market power when it can, so I don't know why people are so surprised that (the generators) used their market power," Joskow said. "I didn't see any evidence of collusion in what they did ... It was just good business." Enron's specific trading methods remain a mystery even to industry analysts, partly because the company considers its techniques to be proprietary. But it yielded a big payoff last year - an operating profit of $1.6 billion, up 160 percent from $628 million in 1999. When electricity and natural gas prices soared to record highs in the fourth quarter, Enron's trading profit more than tripled to $538 million. Without providing specifics, Enron officials said the profits poured in from all over the country. "Our success is linked to efficient markets, not higher prices in California, or anywhere else for that matter," Steve Kean, an Enron executive vice president, said in January testimony before the U.S. Senate. "What we are interested in is competitive and well-functioning markets. Our financial success is not built on California's back."

High demand for power behind Enron's increased earnings By KRISTEN HAYS Associated Press Writer 04/17/2001 Associated Press Newswires Copyright 2001. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. HOUSTON (AP) - High demand for electricity and natural gas helped Enron Corp.'s first-quarter net income surge more than 25 percent. The company also announced increased earnings expectations for 2001. Houston-based Enron, the world's top buyer and seller of natural gas and electricity, said Tuesday that it earned $425 million, or 49 cents per share, in the three months ended March 31, compared with $338 million, or 40 cents per share in the year-ago period. This year's results include a $19 million, or 2 cents per share gain, due to the adoption of new accounting standards; excluding the item, Enron earned $406 million, or 47 cents per share. The result beat comparable expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call, who predicted earnings of 45 cents per share. First-quarter revenues nearly quadrupled to $50.1 billion, compared to revenues of $13.1 billion in the first three months of 2000. Enron also increased its 2001 overall earnings prediction to $1.75 to $1.80 per share. Previously, the company said it expected 2001 earnings of $1.70 to $1.75 per share, and the consensus of analysts was for $1.74 per share. "Enron's wholesale business continues to generate outstanding results. Transaction and volume growth are translating into increased profitability," said Jeff Skilling, president and CEO of Enron. Carol Coale, an analyst with Prudential Securities Inc. in Houston, said Enron's earnings reports were no surprise because of increased demand for power and gas in power-strapped California and across the country. "Clearly the California energy crisis has raised the bar on those power and gas trading and marketing profits," she said. "Opportunities have existed outside California as well." Coale said volatile electricity prices have helped trading profits, and demand remains strong despite an economic slowdown. The company attributed the increase to continued growth in its wholesale energy-trading business, acceleration in its retail energy services and in its broadband Internet business. In its wholesale business, Enron resells power and gas to utilities and other large customers. That business accounted for 96 percent of its first-quarter revenues. Shares of Enron rose $1.29 to $60.73 in trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange. --- On the Net: http://www.enron.com Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Business Enron CEO: Earnings Target Up By A Nickel Rhonda Schaffler, Gregg Hymowitz 04/17/2001 CNNfn: Market Coverage - Morning (c) Copyright Federal Document Clearing House. All Rights Reserved. RHONDA SCHAFFLER, CNNfn ANCHOR, MARKET CALL: Markets are down. We`re going to talk about one stock moving higher, though. North America`s largest gas and electricity maker is bucking the current earnings trend. Enron (URL: http://.www.enron.com/) is raising its earnings forecast for this year by a nickel. The company also earned 47cents a share for its first quarter, 2 pennies better than estimates and 7 cents better than the year ago. Revenues rose a healthy 282 percent. Jobs cuts and the end of its video on demand deal with Blockbuster (URL: http://www.blockbuster.com/) put pressure on the stock, which has fallen from $90, to significantly lower level right now, about $60 a share. Joining us from Houston with an inside look at Enron is the company`s CEO, Jeff Skilling. Jeff, welcome back to "Market Call." JEFFREY SKILLING, CEO, ENRON CORP.: Thank you, Rhonda. Glad to be here. SCHAFFLER: Let`s talk about the revenue growth because it is rather impressive. You`re an old economy company with a new twist. Where was most of the revenue growth from? SKILLING: Well, surprisingly, it came from our natural gas and electricity business. SCHAFFLER: No, well that`s not surprising. It`s a key part of your business. As opposed to your broadband, do you mean? SKILLILNG: Well, just about 90 percent of our earnings- I`m going to pull this out of my ear because I`m getting some feedback on the earphone. Actually that`s working better now. About 90 percent, or 95 percent, of our revenues are in the natural gas and electricity business, so as long as that business is healthy, our business overall is healthy. GREGG HYMOWITZ, CNNfn GUEST HOST, MARKET CALL: Jeff, it`s Gregg Hymowitz. Can you discuss, as related to that business, the pricing of megawatt hours going forward, what we`ve seen it at. And also can you just touch upon fiber-optic bandwidth pricing lately? SKILLING: Sure-a tale of two cities. The electricity business is seeing very strong prices. In California, for example, probably a year and a half ago power sold for about $20 to $22 a megawatt hour. Right now in California, we`re probably closer to $550 a megawatt hour for the summer. And this is just because we have a short supply situation. There`s a lot of demand growth in California. We just haven`t built the power plants to serve it. Now, conversely in the fiber business, we`ve seen enormous capital investments over the last several years. Supply much exceeds demand and in that market prices have collapsed. In fact by our numbers, as you know, we`re in the process of creating a market for bandwidth, those prices are dropping in some cases by 30 percent a month. SCHAFFLER: Let`s talk about California for a moment. Pacific Gas & Electric (URL: http://www.pgecorp.com/) owes you some money. You`ve taken reserves against that. I`m wondering if you feel a need to increase reserves going forward or you`re comfortable with the situation as it is? SKILLING: We`re very comfortable. What we had said to investors, as long ago as December, was that we felt very comfortable with the $1.70 to $1.75 number for this year. As you mentioned, we`re raising that from $1.75 to $1.80. And we feel very comfortable with that number really regardless of what happens with the credit situation in California. HYMOWITZ: Jeff, getting back to that tale of two markets, discuss what could potentially happen to change the trend in both markets? SKILLING: Well, I think in the electricity market, we`ll have tight prices for another couple of years. It takes that long to get the construction cycle going. But once that construction cycle gets going it`s pretty easy to bring on capacity and prices will drop significantly. And probably the $30 to $40 megawatt hour area in the next couple of years and I think that`s very possible. In fact, I think that`s probable. In the bandwidth market, very, very different situation. The problem, to date, is that we built what amounts to an interstate highway system for bandwidth, or for data, with no on ramps and no off ramps. We need to get this last-mile problem fixed, so that people can get data from these networks all the way out to end-use customers. Once that happens, we`ll see a lot of applications developed that use bandwidth. It will soak up some of that excess supply and we might see prices coming back. I think that`s a much longer term proposition. SKILLING: Jeff, we`ve heard so much about this last-mile for so many years now. I mean when is it going to actually happen? SKILLING: Well, it`s just been slower. You were just mentioning the earnings of Sprint FON (URL: http://www.sprint.com/) . Many telecom companies are working to put DSL cable systems on, that helped bridge the last-mile problem, but it`s come much slower than people expected. These are enormously capital intensive investments. They take a long time to put in. There are still technical issues with some of these solutions. So, I just think we have a little ways to go. It will take some more time. SCHAFFLER: You had incredible revenue growth, which we mentioned, up 282 percent. Do you do anything different in this quarter? It`s always hard to top the last great act on Wall Street. SKILLING: The revenue numbers are not as important as our volume growth numbers. What really drives our profitability is growth in volume, physical volumes. They were up about 69 percent. Actual revenue numbers will be influenced by price changes. Price changes really don`t make that much of a difference for us. We don`t have any exposure to the commodity price cycle. So, what we look at is physical volumes transported through the system. And we`ve had just a tremendous track record for the last couple of years on volume. As I mentioned, this quarter up 69 percent in physical volumes. We think that`s a function of our market share position. And what amounts to a unique, logistics capability in North America and Europe. No one else can match it. SCHAFFLER: Jeffrey Skilling, we`ll leave it at that. Congratulations on the quarter. SKILLING: Thank you, Rhonda. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Enron Corp. Says First-Quarter Profit Rose 20 Percent (Update6) 2001-04-17 16:04 (New York) Enron Corp. Says First-Quarter Profit Rose 20 Percent (Update6) (Adds closing share price in eighth paragraph.) Houston, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp., the largest energy-trading company, said first-quarter profit rose 20 percent as increased electricity and natural-gas demand sent prices surging in California and other parts of the U.S. Profit from operations rose to $406 million, or 47 cents a share, from $338 million, or 40 cents, in the year-earlier period, Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling said. Revenue almost quadrupled to $50.1 billion from $13.1 billion. ``The market is perfect for a trader and marketer,'' Commerzbank Capital Markets Co. analyst Andre Meade said. ``Volume is growing, prices are high and prices are volatile.'' Enron sold 90 percent more power and 32 percent more gas in North America than in the year-earlier quarter as prices surged. About one-fifth of the power-sales increase came from the western U.S. as California electricity prices averaged nine times higher than a year earlier. The rest came from the eastern U.S., which also has had power shortages. The Houston-based company also raised its 2001 profit forecast to $1.75 to $1.80 a share, from its January projection of $1.70 to $1.75. Once just a natural-gas pipeline company, Enron has spent more than a decade creating a trading operation that buys power, gas and other commodities and resells them to utilities and other large consumers, a business made possibly by deregulation of U.S. energy markets in the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, the company's sales have risen an average of 66 percent annually for the past five years. Enron had 2000 revenue of $101 billion, making it the second-largest U.S. energy company behind Exxon Mobil Corp. Revenue will total as much as $170 billion this year, Skilling estimated in March. Enron shares rose 56 cents to $60. They had fallen 28 percent this year on concerns about the company's telecommunications business and an India power project. California Business Electricity prices in California were higher in the first quarter than a year earlier as a power shortage continued and generators demanded higher payments to offset the risk of selling to the state's utilities. Prices for gas, used to fuel power plants, were more than double the year-earlier average. The higher prices have left California utilities more than $14 billion in debt because regulators won't let them pass on all the cost of power purchases on to consumers. Enron is owed $570 million by PG&E Corp.'s Pacific Gas & Electric, Skilling said in an interview. Pacific Gas & Electric, California's biggest utility, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection April 6. Enron has set aside money to cover potential California losses and doesn't expect the energy crisis to affect 2001 earnings, Skilling said. He wouldn't say how much was set aside. Investors are entitled to know how much Enron has put in reserves, analysts told Skilling on a conference call today. Skilling disagreed. ``I think that would hurt our competitive position, particularly when people are jostling for position in bankruptcy,'' Skilling said. Enron's business in energy-services contracts has escalated as a result of California's power crisis. Skilling has said demand is increasing as companies look to cut energy costs and protect themselves from the risks of energy-price movements. ``If you or I were running a factory around New York right now, we'd be calling Enron or a company like them to lock in energy prices,'' Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Curtis Launer said. ``That business is going gangbusters.'' Contracts increased nearly 60 percent to $5.9 billion in the quarter. Enron, which recently signed contracts with Owens- Illinois Inc., Quaker Oats Co. and Eli Lilly & Co., manages energy buying and consumption at more than 31,000 facilities. It is the largest manager of customer energy assets, Skilling said. Energy Deregulation The company's Wholesale Energy Operations and Services business, which includes trading and power-plant development, saw first-quarter profit before interest, minority interests and taxes rise 76 percent to $755 million from $429 million. In the first quarter, gas volumes more than tripled outside North America and rose 55 percent worldwide. On the power side, worldwide volumes more than doubled, while sales outside North America more than quadrupled. Enron has gained customers through EnronOnline, its Internet trading site. EnronOnline handled $162 billion in transactions in the quarter, Skilling said. It has handled more than $525 billion since it opened in late 1999. Enron's broadband unit, set up to build a U.S. fiber-optic network and help trade space on such networks, had a quarterly loss of $35 million on revenue of $83 million. It broke even a year earlier. Enron added 70 broadband customers in the latest quarter, for a total of 120. Broadband Woes Shares of Enron fell 11 percent on March 12 after the collapse of an agreement for Blockbuster Inc., the largest video- store chain, to deliver movies on demand over Enron's fiber-optic system. The stock continued to fall on speculation Enron would exit the broadband business, analysts said. Enron denied the speculation. Enron has been trying to get paid for power sold by its India unit to the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Enron's $3 billion, 740-megawatt project is the biggest foreign investment in India. A first-quarter gain of $19 million, or 2 cents a share, for an accounting change, made net income $425 million, or 49 cents a share. There were no charges or gains in the year-earlier period. The company was expected to make 45 cents a share, the average estimate of analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial. Estimates ranged from 43 cents to 47 cents. Dynegy's 1st-Qtr Profit Rises 73% on Gas, Power Sales (Update4) 2001-04-17 16:21 (New York) Dynegy's 1st-Qtr Profit Rises 73% on Gas, Power Sales (Update4) (Adds company comment on future earnings and additional generation capacity in the fifth paragraph, closes shares. For more on California, see {EXTRA <GO>}.) Houston, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Dynegy Inc., a U.S. electricity and natural gas trader, said first-quarter profit rose 73 percent as colder winter weather boosted gas and power sales. Profit from operations rose to $137.5 million, or 41 cents a share, from $79.4 million, or 26 cents, a year earlier, the company said in a statement. Revenue more than doubled to $14.2 billion from $5.35 billion. Marketing and trading profit almost doubled to $100.3 million, or 73 percent of net income as the average price of gas more than doubled from a year ago. Power sales to California, hit by a 10-month electricity crisis, ``did not make a material contribution'' to earnings, the statement said. ``It's not just a California ballgame,'' UBS Warburg analyst James Yanello said. ``Lots of areas around the country have supply and demand imbalances, and this is one of the big players capable of resolving those supply and demand issues.'' Company executives remain comfortable with their earlier second-quarter earnings guidance of 35 cents a share, Chairman Chuck Watson told analysts during a conference call. Next year's earnings likewise should increase by up to 25 percent as Dynegy continues to build or acquire power plants, he said. ``What's driving the train for Dynegy for the past few years is the continued adding to our portfolio in generation across the country, and I don't see that slowing down in 2002,'' Watson said. California Reserves Dynegy has a reserve to cover money it might not get from power sales to California, canceling out profit from the state, spokesman Steve Stengel said. The company was owed $265 million from power sales to California as of Feb. 28, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said. Dynegy, based in Houston, and joint venture partner NRG Energy Inc. have sold 2,300 megawatts of power to the state's Department of Water Resources through 2004. That has cut credit risk from the state's cash-strapped utilities, the company said. California power prices rose ninefold last quarter from a year ago. A megawatt is enough power to light about 1,000 U.s. home. Shares of Dynegy rose $2.80 to close at $55.95. They are almost unchanged for the year. Northeast Dynegy's electricity sales and production rose 19 percent last quarter to 26.1 million megawatt-hours from a year ago, boosted by the addition of 1,100 megawatts of generation in the 2000 second half and the purchase last quarter of New York state power plants that can produce 1,700 megawatts. ``Dynegy is in a good position to earn good returns from those plants,'' analyst Anatol Feygin of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. said. ``The press is full of prognostications that the New York area and the Northeast are the next California.'' New York and New England won't have enough generators or power lines to meet demand if temperatures are higher than normal this summer, industry officials have said. Few were built in the Northeast in recent years because of regulatory hurdles, even as economic growth boosted electricity consumption. Broadband Loss Dynegy's new Global Communications division, which markets and trades broadband, had a $11.6 million loss from start-up and expansion costs. Profit from the processing and marketing of natural-gas liquids fell 5.4 percent to $22.9 million. Last year's profit included about $4 million from assets that have been sold. Profit at Dynegy's Illinois Power utility, with 650,000 gas and power customers in southern Illinois, more than quintupled to $25.9 million on cost reductions and higher winter demand. The company was expected to earn 40 cents, based on the average estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial. A gain of $2.03 million in the quarter from an accounting change made net income of $139.5 million, or 41 cents a share. A year ago, a gain of $33.8 million from a power-plant sale and a charge of $44.2 million made net income $69 million, or 23 cents. Red Herring 100 Celebrates Top Companies Reshaping Business 04/17/2001 PR Newswire (Copyright (c) 2001, PR Newswire) Magazine Chooses 50 Private and 50 Public Companies That Continue to Reshape Markets Despite Current Economic Trends SAN FRANCISCO, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In the fifth annual Red Herring 100, editors of Red Herring, the leading magazine on the business of technology and innovation, identify the 100 companies whose products, services or business models - despite current economic uncertainties-continue to forge new markets. The leaders are profiled in Red Herring's May 1 double issue and are posted at http://www.rh100.redherring.com. The Red Herring 100 stands apart because companies are not measured by statistics alone, but are also reviewed on the subjective and metrical criteria favored by venture capitalists and investment bankers, including: a company's potential for disrupting its market, its execution of a sound strategy, the quality of its management and its financial performance, which is summed up by "The Herring Take". The listing favors companies whose promise is based on innovative and defensible technology with more than a dozen sectors represented, including software, biotechnology and communications services. Major category shifts were recognized in this year's Red Herring 100 in sectors like data storage, enterprise software and semiconductors, while entire sectors that failed to remain innovative are gone: Linux companies, PC makers, wireless communications and commerce. Editor Jason Pontin explained that companies were chosen for the Red Herring 100 based upon the magazine's belief in certain broad trends: continuing importance of IP telephony, critical advancements in energy production, the sudden glamour of biotechnology, and the utility of reconfigurable microchips. "In short, the Red Herring 100 are companies that retain the capacity to disrupt existing markets or create entirely new ones," Pontin exclaims. "As we shout on our cover, whatever the state of public and private equity markets, these companies still matter."

Enron Says PG&E Owes About $570 Million, CNBC Says (Update1) 2001-04-17 11:08 (New York) Enron Says PG&E Owes About $570 Million, CNBC Says (Update1) (Adds earlier report in fifth paragraph.) Houston, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp. is owed about $570 million in gross receivables by PG&E Corp., Enron President and Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling said in an interview with financial news network CNBC. Enron, the largest energy trader, is fully reserved and has some offsets against that amount, Skilling said. PG&E filed for bankruptcy this month. ''It's not a good situation when a state allows a company with a 100-year history to go bankrupt,'' Skilling said. ``It's kind of surprising.'' There is a big threat of politicizing the energy situation in the West, Skilling said. Some proposals in various state legislatures ``would be enough to make an economist cry,'' he said. The Houston Chronicle reported the $570 million figure this weekend, citing a letter from Enron to a bankruptcy trustee. Enron refused to confirm the figure until today.

Hi, hope things are well. I'd like to talk about LNG trading vessels (merchant). Have you been talking with Pierre about all of this activity. George Mclellan is concerned about the exmar contract, and wants Pierre more involved with the business. What do you think of this idea? What are some of your thoughts regarding this business. Jeff

Sue and Jeff: Jim has asked me to more closely track CA legislation. Together with Scott, we have put together the attached matrix of important legislation. If you all agree, I can be responsible for keeping this information as current (tracking via the Internet and also adding information sent by you both and by Scott) and will circulate it on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (in advance of our CA calls on those days). Notes: *Ideally, I think we should prioritize the legislation or at least have the "hot" bills highlighted. Any thoughts? *I will keep updated copies of these bills in binders in the CA meeting room. Please send me your feedback and suggestions as to how to make this the most useful and efficient. I would like to circulate it by Thursday morning. Thanks, Jennifer

Hi Diana & Kate, You are not wasting our time, you make our time valuable. You should be able to see ver 3.0.0.36 in production and ver 3.0.0.38 in stage, if not phone David Poston for support. Ver 3.0.0.38 is newer and includes insignifficant changes on the form for selection desks, which Corry Bentley requested here. They don't allow us to promote now things like that to production the last five days and the first day of the month. Now the report is able to show both the term and schedule (liquidation) data. The term data are the way the deal was entered with Deal Entry, Deal Blotter or EOL bridge, signed and confirmed. The schedule data should be very much the same with all the changes in Deal Scheduling. There is no difference between schedule and liquidation data, schedule data is a subset of liquidation one in time and it is about 2-3 weeks. At the moment the schedule strips for WEST contain data from 3/22/2001 to 4/5/2001, and the liquidation the same data from 4/2/1996. Because we don't schedule normally desk-to-desk deals (I think we schedule between EAST and WEST only) we don't have schedule (liquidation) data for desk-to-desk. I hided the check box to avoid confusions. The option Show Desk is very simple, changes the format of the header for Region, nothing else. Kroum -----Original Message----- From: Scholtes, Diana Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 12:34 PM To: Kroumov, Kroum Subject: Forward Obligation Report Kroum, I was running the new version of the Obligation Report. I was not included in the testing phase of the new version and apparently the report is still not doing what the "fix" was initiated for. Originally, my discussions with Doung Luu was for the Obligation report to capture: 1. All deals with any changes made in Deal Scheduling and 2. All Desk to Desk deals. Number (2), I believe was the difficult one. When selecting the option on "Show Deals" in order to capture schedule changes you must select "Liquidate". This does work, but it does not give you the option to select "Show Desk to Desk", which like I said before, was the intent of the changes. Please contact me for further discussion. I apologize for not participating and wasting your time.

It is now possible to run the report showing term, scheduled, or liquidated deals. In the past I've always run the report showing term deals, then entered my desk-to-desk deals from those numbers. Now I believe the report is designed to pull data from our scheduling database, so I'm wondering what the difference is between the term deal report and the scheduled deal report. Each produce completely different numbers! Please let me know when you get a chance. Thanks, Kate Symes Trading Support 503-464-7486

While too much should never be read into a grant of certiorari, this seems to be auspicious for Enron and to validate Joe's conclusion that it would be imprudent for Enron to rest on its victory in the court of appeals and not oppose proactively New York, et al. who are asking the Court to expand the native load exception. It should also be noted that the broadside against FERC's authority to act (the Dalton cert. petition), which Enron took the lead in opposing, was rejected outright. Enron's brief is due in 45 days. Joe and I shall meet with Lou early next week to get this process started. Please call me if you have any questions.

FERC, No. 00-568)) to consider?whether FERC may preempt state jurisdiction over transmission of energy from generators to retail customers in the same state.? (The Court declined other questions?New York?had raised.)? The Court also granted the petition of Enron Power Marketing, Inc. (EPMI v. FERC, No. 00-809) to consider whether FERC has jurisdiction to regulate all transmission in interstate commerce, including transmission for bundled retail sales, and whether FERC is obligated under the Federal Power Act to eliminate undue discrimination by requiring transmission-owning utilities to provide service on the same terms to all users, including bundled retail sales.? The cases will be argued together, probably not before October 2001.

The pages are for a Consent to an Assignment of a completed EPC contract involving a special purpose company of Tampa Electric Company ("TECO"). ECT's role was to purchase the turbines and NEPCO did the work. The work has been completed but is still in the warranty phase and thus the banks want this assignment agreement so that can also enjoy the warranty rights. The document is complex because the financing structure is complex (there is prior existing senior debt, new subordinated debt and a sale and lease back structure.) My understanding is that Janet Dietrich did the original transaction. If you want a copy of the Consent Agreement as modified, please call Angie and she will fax it to you. Also, you can leave me a voicemail if you want me to debrief someone on the project. In addition, you can tell people that Jason Peters of Andrews & Kurth also helped in the review and editing of the contract. If you want to call him directly he can describe the deal to you (he indicated that he has worked with you.) Lastly, you will need to fax an executed copy of the agreement to Babak Hoghooghi of the Washington, DC office of Skadden Arps and will need to federal express the originals to him as well.

For purposes of an accelerated distribution from the PSA, a "single sum distribution," in Section 6.2 means that a PSA account is distributed all at once, as distinguished from another form of payout as may have been selected by a participant in his or her deferral agreement. Section 6.2 is clear in that the account balance shall be determined as of the last day of the month preceding the date on which the Committee receives the written request of the Participant. A PSA account balance is reflected in shares of stock since the form of distribution is shares of stock. Additionally, any portion of a PSA balance attributable to deferral of restricted stock is administered under Sections 3.5 and 3.6 and Exhibit A of the Plan. This section is applicable now as we are accelerating the distribution of PSA balances created with deferrals of restricted stock. The Plan indicates that upon death, disability, retirement or termination, the share units are converted to shares which are issued to the executive according to the payment election made by the executive at the time of the deferral election. Therefore the distribution you will receive in shares is correct and we do not agree with your interpretation of the plan.

It is worth a try, but it would be unusually generous of the power systems group to go along without push back. At least now we will see where we stand. Did Herman leave you a voice mail telling you that getting GE to sign off like this wouldn't do the trick? I'm guessing you've decided to appeal.

Attached is a draft of the RFP for the NBP debt financing. We recommend sending this RFP to: A.G. Edwards Banc One Bank of America Bank of Tokyo CIBC SunTrust These institutions are either agents for a NBPL or NBP credit facility and/or recently have indicated a strong interest in doing future business with NBP. In recent discussions, several firms have advised NBP to proceed with a public market transaction for the term debt. Given their predilection for private placement debt, A.G. Edwards has been included so that we get two views on the appropriate market for the term debt issue. You will note we have not including Lehman Brothers in our recommendation. As I indicated to you last week by e-mail (see attached), we are focusing on commercial banks to improve their relationship profitability to incent them to be more committed with immediate funding for acquisitions. We have reviewed this approach with Jeff McMahon's group (through Charles Delacey) and they concur. I am not aware of the "chits" that may be owed Lehman (or other I-banks) but our thought was if our last deal cleaned the slate we would concentrate on our commercial bank relationship strategy. Certainly Lehman would have an opportunity to play in future deals, especially equity. I will be travelling Thursday and Friday so please leave word with John Jesse (402)398-7843 if this list is acceptable. If you would like to discuss please leave me a message and I will call you from NY. ---------------------- Forwarded by Jerry Peters/NPNG/Enron on 03/01/2000 03:36 PM --------------------------- From: Jerry Peters 02/25/2000 12:56 PM To: Stanley Horton/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Cindy Stark/Corp/Enron@Enron, Larry DeRoin/NPNG/Enron@ENRON, John Jesse/NPNG/Enron@Enron Subject: NBP Financing RFP's Just to give you a "heads-up" we are preparing a request for proposal for lead managers on a NBP debt financing. The financing plan is for a $150 million term debt facility to payoff existing MLP bank debt and a $150 million bank revolver (which would be undrawn) to provide greater financial flexibility in the future. Although we haven't determined the list of bidders a key objective is to provide additional fee income to those banks willing to commit their balance sheets when needed (i.e. commercial banks) to strengthen our position for future acquisition financing. We will send you a copy of the RFP and a list of recommended bidders mid next week. We would anticipate sending this out late next week.

We have received your acceptance and you are confirmed for ClickAtHome Pilot 2. You will be notified with an e-mail by November 17th on how and when you can access the ordering web site. Ordering is not expected to begin until December. As a pilot participant, you will be testing various aspects of this new program such as the program offerings, program communications, product and service ordering, vendor services and program support. At this time, the pilot program is not intended to provide access to Enron's network for telework purposes. If you need Enron access for business reasons, please continue to maintain your existing computer and connection for this purpose. In advance, we appreciate your co-operation and patience under this pilot program. Employees will have great options under this program for computers, peripherals, and Internet connectivity. Your personal selections will determine your out-of-pocket expense, if any. By participating the Pilot, you are not obligated to order hardware or connectivity, but will be given the opportunity to review your options and associated prices. We know you are interested in more details. However, one of our primary Pilot objectives is to test the communication on our web site. We would like you to review more details about program offerings and related out-of-pocket costs, if any, once the pilot web site is available. After agreeing to the Pilot Participants Agreement and reviewing these materials on the web site, you may choose to defer ordering until the All Employee roll-out in early 2001 if you wish. Please send any questions to the [email protected] mailbox. Thanks.

Mr. Stewart, as per you voice mail request to me on Feb. 20, 2001, attached is the correspondance concerning the reqeust to replace the mixing valves with carbuerators at the Northern Natural Gas, Spraberry Plant. The players in this activity included Jon Fields of Argent Consulting. Due to the fact that the pre testing data for the emissions from the mixing valves and the post testing data for emissions from the carbuerators were received in hard copy only, I am not able to provide this as an attachment. This data was, however, sent to you via fed-x on January 24, 2001. If needed, I can resubmit the results of the data for your review. As expected, the emissions levels did decrease when the carbs were installed. Please reveiw the attached correspondance concerning the request to replace the mixing valves at the Spraberry Plant (TNRCC account No. ML-0022-W) with carbuerators without requiring involvement of a permitting activity. Thank you for your consideration in this issue. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Stewart [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: RE: Engines and GF Status Jon, Here's the latest comment from Jim: don't see why a test before the change and after the change using the same analyzer would not demonstrate no increase in emissions. DFS >>> Jon Fields <[email protected]> 08/29/00 08:38AM >>> Duncan, Ok. We'll test an engine. This project involves 5 identical engines. We want to test just one - will you accept that? Will you accept portable analyzer test results? These analyzers have been certified by the state of New Mexico to be plus/minus 3% from full trailer tests.

They would need to demonstrate that there is no change. This could require testing before and after the change. >>> Duncan Stewart 08/28/00 01:43PM >>> What say you all? -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Stewart [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 2:27 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Jim Linville Subject: Engines and GF Status Hi Jon, This is a joint Duncan - Jim Linville reply. First, for all intents and purposes, expect GF status to go away when the legislature comes back to town. With that in mind, what exactly is happening with this engine. Does the carburetor replace the mixer valves? If so, this must be one ancient engine! And unlikely to get in under VERP or any other program designed to end GF status. Tell us more. Duncan >>> Jon Fields <[email protected]> 08/22/00 11:05AM >>> Duncan, I have some grandfathered gas compressor engines in west Texas. We are going to change out the old mixer valves and install carburetors on the units as a maintenance activity. Horsepower and emissions will not increase. I can maintain my grandfathered status, correct? We will of course document this activity and provide copies to the regional office. Thanks, Jon Fields Argent Consulting
