RE: DWR Stranded Cost Update

I am resending the same file as before (although to a larger group) and need
to make a correction regarding one assumption. I am told the analysis does
not yet include the gas indexed contracts. We're working on getting them
included and when they are, the overmarket value will likely increase.

Subject: DWR Stranded Cost Update

Using information pulled together by Jennifer and BAN, I requested West
Tradings Risk/Structuring Group do a more careful analysis of the
above-market costs associated with the DWR contracts. Attached is their
analysis.

In this analysis we examined only the executed contracts and NOT the
agreements-in principle. (Only executed contracts were released by the state
in the last few weeks.) Also, gas-indexed contracts were examined on their
nongas costs only. Since gas costs are a pass through on some contracts, we
excluded them as a conservatism; i.e., we did not ascribe costs to the gas
portion of the contracts since they will float with market costs over time.
These contracts were marked to market using current, applicable curves.
Finally we discounted at the LIBOR rate, which is around 4%/year.

The stranded cost under these assumptions is approximately $10 billion. The
spreadsheet shows the overmarket costs by contract. Note: a negative
"mark-to-market" equals a positive stranded cost.

As before, this analysis is based upon Enron's confidential forward curves.
Approval from Tim Belden is needed before this analysis can be released.
