For December 21, 2000 activity, I reported a weighted average price of $16.00
for activity for December 22-26, 2000.

The weighted average trade price via Enron Online will reflect a price of
$15.76, but coupled with the volume not transacted online, this price was
estimated to be a $16.00 midpoint. Specificially the following trades were
transacted over the telephone:

Nicor Gas Company $18.16 20,000 Via ANR @ Hampshire
Altrade GDD +.05 10,000 NGPL Nicor
WPS GDD 5,000 NGPL Nicor
Nicor Gas Company $12.00 20,000 NGPL Nicor
PG&E $14.00 9,000 NGPL Nicor
Kaztex $18.16 4,000 NBPL/Nicor


The reason for the interest in this time period is as follows:

Nicor Gas Company observed their company holiday on December 22nd, while most
companies observed the company holiday on December 26th. As a result,
volumes 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 for the December 23-26 time 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, the 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.
