On December 21, 2000, I reported a weighted average price of $16.00 for gas
flow on December 22-26, 2000. The weighted average trade price via Enron Online will reflect a price of $15.76. This price was increased to $16.00 to encompass trades transacted via the telephone. The reason for the interest in this time period is as follows: Nicor Gas Company was closed for their company holiday on Friday, December 22nd. As a result, volumes delivered at Nicor were traded for the December 22-26 time period. Gas Daily published a price of $15.70 for the December 22-26 time period. Nicor Gas Company made a decision to buy gas on December 22nd (even though they were closed) for the December 23-26 time period, which resulted in a $13.88 posting for the December 23-26th period. I received several phone calls from various marketing companies expressing concern that Gas Daily was going to revise the posting, based on the minimal activity that transacted on December 22nd. While, my practice is to simply take the price as reported on Enron Online, from time-to-time, there will be significant volumes transacted over the telephone that will impact the Enron Online price. My volume is a little over-stated, but simply from a cursory glance standpoint, as opposed to intentionally reporting erroneous information.
