Subject: colored printer taj mahal hello everyone . this memo only applies to the research group on the 19 th floor that use the colored printer " taj mahal " . vince has requested that i ask each of you to only use the colored printer " taj mahal " for presentations , newsletters , etc . that require at least 90 % of color . these cartridges are very expensive and several times we have picked up a copy of something that only had color on the first page and it would be maybe 15 - 20 pages long . this is not cost effective . if you have something that has color on the first page , but not on the rest of the presentation , then please just print the first page on the color printer and the rest on " bandit " or " wagon " . your help will be greatly appreciated ! thanks ! shirley | 0 |

Subject: interview - credit derivatives dear vince : thank you for the invitation yesterday . it was a pleasure to meet you all and learn more about the group , it ' s structure and to some extent what you are involved in . please extend my thanks to all of them . i am particularly interested in the credit swap trading platform that enron has recently started . such a platform will provide unique visibility into the credit markets . as you suggested i tried to learn more about this from tanya . i would like to learn more and if possible meet other people more directly linked to the effort . just simple instruments like credit swaps will require serious modelling capability for the pricing and the hedging of these apparently simple intruments . the market visibility i mention above can be explored through credit derivatives trading successfully if enron possesses superior ( vis a vis morgan stanley , salomon smith barney , chase manhatan , etc . ) modelling technology in credit derivatives . i can and would like to consider the possibility of doing this for enron . i would like to help develop and participate in putting together that business . as i mentioned to you i have done some work in credit derivatives and am deeply familiar with virtually all the work of the principal academics in credit derivatives namely : duffie , lando , tuffano , duffee , das , lelland , etc . i have read carefully most of their work ( published as well as working papers ) on the subject to date . i look forward to hearing from you . best regards joao | 0 |

Subject: new basis report bhavna : the basis report has been updated to cover 2000 prices . it is called basisnw 7 . xls and is in the erg database . it looks to be working correctly , but of course without data it is a little hard to confirm . as always , it is ultimately your job to verify that the numbers reported are correct . lemme know if there are problems . it is easy to change the spreadsheet to start a new year . you should keep this mail message as a reference . 1 ) add 12 to the expression in " printmacro " ! b 35 i . e . change copy ( offset ( henrycash , 12 * againstyear + 63 , i , 12 , 1 ) ) to 2 ) define a new cell reference on the basis page for the first date to be printed out on the report page . for example , last year , the basis report went from jan 93 to dec 1999 . in basisnw 6 . xls there is a name " jan 93 " defined as " basis " ! a 64 ( i . e . refers to the row where the jan 1993 basis numbers are recorded ) . this year , in basisnw 7 . xls , i defined " jan 94 " to refer to " basis " ! a 76 . that ' s because the basis report will now run from jan 1994 to dec 2000 . 3 ) change the expression in " printmacro " ! b 45 to use this new cell reference i . e . change copy ( offset ( jan 93 , 12 * indexyear , report , 12 , 1 ) ) to 4 ) having executed steps 1 ) - 3 ) the spreadsheet will now print numbers shifted up by one year . all that remains to do is to change the dates on the " printformat " page to be one year more . by that i mean change 1998 to 1999 , 1999 to 2000 , change 98 / 99 to 99 / 00 , etc . don ' t move any numbers or formulas ! that ' s it . as we discussed bhavna , while i am happy to do this for you , it is not in your or my best interest for this to continue . please do work to find some one in your shop to maintain this spreadsheet . regards , and happy new year ! grant . | 0 |

Subject: comments hi sheridan , how are you ? i hope that you had a good vacation . vasant and i looked at your memo and found it to be interesting . i shall first briefly summarize our understanding of the methodology you propose . the comments follow . finally , i shall sketch a simple gas field project you can use as a test case in further refining the model . it appears that you are proposing a state - space approach where probabilities of different states at various future dates are specified . the next step is to assume a discount rate and to compute the present value by following the branches from the origin to one of the terminal points . traversing through the tree in this manner over many iterations will permit us to compute the average present value of the project . also , you are using the simulation to assign a value of the project to each node . thus each node will have a cash flow associated with it which will occur if the node is reached and a value which is an expectation of the value to be realized going forward . if some of these values turn out to be negative , zero - coupon , risk - free bonds are purchased to neutralize the negative realization . next , we find a comparable and apply the expected rate of return back to our project ( based on the variance of the returns ) . we iterate until convergence . finally , we subtract the initial investment and the computed risk capital from the pv of the gross cash flows ( including debt ) to determine if the project merits further consideration . comments / clarifications 1 . the money is being set aside to avoid negative values . it is not clear if you mean the values of the cash flow or the pv at the node . anyhow , we shall be setting aside money not just for that specific node but all nodes at that cross - section of time as the risk - free asset pays in all states of nature . this will have to be done every time there is a negative realization . thus , for the typical project we have , the value of risk capital may be extremely high , as we are not following a tail - based norm anymore . 2 . your memo appears to suggest that debt capacity is contingent on all values being positive . if so , we are only issuing risk - free debt . also , a project with a single negative value at each cross - section of time will not have a positive debt capacity . 3 . it seems that our optimization argument is the discount rate , which is obtained in each step from the comparison investment ( by equating the variances ) . it is not clear if changing the discount rate will have such an effect on the project variance so as to lead to a global convergence . also , our project has a finite life and the market - based assets will have infinite lives . in the light of this fact , how will we define the relevant variance ? is it the spot variance of the returns of the comparison investment ? 4 . finally , our criterion is to subtract from the average pv the investment and also the risk capital . setting risk capital to zero , this model closely resembles the intuitive present value criterion and endogenously determines the discount rate . gas field case to facilitate your thinking , we are providing a gas field example below . we invest x million dollars to buy and develop a gas field . a profile of expected production and variance of the production per year is available from the engineers at the beginning . production will be autocorrelated , as the profile will shift up or down based on the actual gas reserves being more or less than the estimated reserves . we assume the life of the field to be 10 years with no salvage value . there are fixed and variable operating costs . it might be useful for you to think about applying the framework to this problem . do let me know if you have further questions . rakesh | 0 |

Subject: re : lng may 19 decision vince - thanks for the update . what i am not sure of is what if any decision has to be made on may 19 . it seems to me that the mystic lady and elba island deals have already been approved and executed - but it is quite likely i am missing a detail or two . john vince j kaminski 15 / 05 / 2000 17 : 14 to : john sherriff / lon / ect @ ect cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , david gorte / hou / ect @ ect , rick buy / hou / ect @ ect , ted murphy / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : lng may 19 decision john , this is the update on what i have done for the lng transactions . 1 . i was not involved in the lng ship project . i shall read the dash and give you my comments . without looking at the details , i think that the decision to charter a tanker removes one significant risk we have at the elba island project ( please , see point 2 ) . 2 . elba island . i am working with doug rotenberbg , brad hitch , scott earnest ( sally beck ' s organization ) and rac to set up the book for the elba island transaction . the next step will be to expand the book to capture all the enron ' s lng - related positions in one place and to look for natural risk offsets and possible hedges . a working group is meeting to close a few remaining gaps tomorrow ( tuesday ) at 8 : 30 . a few comments on the book design and my view of the project : a . the current thinking is that lng will be sourced for the elba island facility by buying marginal cargos on the fob basis . marginal cargos will represent supply from excess capacity that has not been committed under long - term contracts or became available due to some short - term frictions . the fob cargos are typically selling at a significant discount to the long - term contract prices . the economics of the deal , as represented by the book we are setting up , will reflect the assumption that not only we can locate marginal cargos but that we shall be able to do it on a regular basis , arranging shipping and coordinating the facility schedule and natural gas transactions in the us . in other words , we have a significant logistical and operational risk in this transaction . b . the transaction will cover the period of 17 years ( with an extension option of 5 years ) . even if we can lock - in the lng volumes over this time period , we have no ability to lock - in the other side of the spread ( us gas prices ) for such a long tenor . this is essentially a tolling transaction with exposure to the lng - nat gas spread and i would not recommend locking - in only one leg of the spread . one solution would be to cover , let ' s say , 50 % of he lng volumes for the first 5 years and lock - in the nat gas side on the us market side . c . the book we are setting up will be based on many managerial assumptions regarding sources of lng , shipping rates , schedules , etc . i would set up a big prudence reserve in case we mark it to market . d . my group will work on valuation of some options we have in the elba island deal ( that are good for enron ) and on the hedging strategy for the lng positions . long - term lng contracts are typically based on the japanese crude cocktail that correlates very well with brent . vince john sherriff 05 / 14 / 2000 01 : 40 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : lauren urquhart / lon / ect @ ect subject : lng may 19 decision vince i haven ' t spoken to you for awhile but hope the world is treating you well . anyway with greg moving to his new role i have ( i hope only temporarily ) staff trading oversight for the eastern hemishere plus lng . i understand that your group is taking a first cut at developing curves for lng and lng ship values . i also understand that another lng ship decision is on the dockets for may 19 ( not very far away ) . anway i understand this is a big decision but i still have gotten very little info yet . can you please let me know where you stand now ? i will ask my assistant lauren to set up a time that i can speak with you in the next couple of days and if you have anything for me to review before then she can get it faxed to me as well . look forward to connecting with you vince . john | 0 |

Subject: important information about united healthcare - please read ! to : houston area employees participating in the domestic medical plan benefits you may have recently received communication from united healthcare ( uhc ) concerning memorial hermann health systems ' ( mhhs ) decision to terminate their contract with uhc in the houston / beaumont area . this communication also included the names of physicians who will be dropped from the network due to this action . it is our intent to help you understand the situation . it is our understanding that memorial herman health systems asked for a 40 % increase in fees - a substantial increase that would have been passed on to you and enron ! when united healthcare attempted to negotiate with a counter proposal , memorial hermann cancelled their contract . while this contractual arrangement was between the hospital system and uhc , enron continues to support uhc in their ongoing contract negotiation efforts . at this time , it is only uhc which has been affected , however , it is our understanding that cigna has also been contacted by the hospital group and may be in contract negotiations at this time as well . many doctors have obtained admission privileges to other area hospitals within the uhc network or have contracted directly with uhc including those with admission privileges to the woodlands , sugarland and clear lake hospitals , to name a few . in a further effort to limit disruption to our affected employees and families who are enrolled in the uhc network or epo options , enron has authorized uhc to process claims incurred between september 28 and december 31 , 2000 as if the termination of the memorial hermann health systems from the network had not occurred and in - network benefits applied . office visits will have a $ 10 copayment and all other charges will be covered at 90 % . hospital admissions will still need to be pre - certified with uhc . these steps have decreased the number of participants ' affected by primary care physician disruption from 1 , 050 to 127 . if you need medical attention : you or your doctor / hospital must call uhc ' s customer service number so proper benefits can be verified . in some cases the hospital or doctor may request payment at the time service is performed . if this should happen , please obtain an itemized statement and submit it to uhc with a claim form for prompt reimbursement . claim forms can be obtained by calling 1 - 800 - 332 - 7979 or in houston at 713 - 853 - 7979 ( press 1 ) . open enrollment materials will be coming soon . take this opportunity to consider your elections for 2001 . united healthcare and enron hr are committed to assisting enron employees through this transition . we will communicate any further developments that may impact you or your family . | 0 |

Subject: california update 3 / 06 / 01 executive summary ? if no comprehensive deal is reached by april 9 th , chances of bankruptcy increase due to a one day " opt - out " clause in all long - term power contracts . ? pg & e and state locked in tough negotiations , several issues on the table : puc - imposed requirement forcing pg state - 2 . 3 times book value vs . pg & e - 4 times book value ? pg & e will not use any of the $ 1 b secured last week to help their ailing utility . ? davis ' s announcement of long term power contract didn ' t include some details : of the 8 , 800 megawatts secured this far , only 6 , 000 are available this summer some of the " long term contracts " are really only for three months none of the contracts prevent california from buying peak demand on the spot market ? one the same day davis announced long term contracts , davis also quietly announce a 10 % rate hike . ? ferc may be the wild card in approving this deal . pg & e transmissions deal one thing that is still uncertain is pg & e . bankruptcy may still be a likely alternative if current negotiations to buy pg & e ' s share of the electric transmission grid fail to produce a deal by april 9 ( when all long - term power contracts being negotiated have a one - day " opt - out " clause they can exercise unilaterally if a " comprehensive solution " has not been reached by the state and its major utilities ) . according to sources close to senior pg & e officials , pg & e made it clear that any hope for a politically acceptable deal on the transmission lines depends on the california government ' s willingness to make a major financial commitment it has been completely unwilling to make until now . pg & e will not make a final deal to sell its grid unless davis agrees to relieve it of the puc - imposed requirement to be the " electricity buyer of last resort . " current state regulations make the utility companies ultimately responsible for generating or purchasing enough electricity at all times to supply california ' s energy needs . as long as the state steps in and makes those purchases , as it has for the past three months , the utilities are shielded from absorbing the losses generated by paying premiums for spot market power and selling to consumers who are shielded by low rate ceilings . but , pg & e officials are worried 1 ) this summer ' s supply and 2 ) davis ' s concern over how fast he is draining the state ' s budget surplus . if things get into a crunch this summer and davis makes a new decision that the state will pay only for the electricity it buys through long - term contracts , then pg & e will be left holding the bag . thus , as part of the negotiations over buying the electricity grid , pg & e is demanding a " comprehensive solution " that includes not being liable for cost differentials between the spot market purchase and what consumers are allowed to pay . state officials are in no mood to grant that kind of " get out of jail free " card , so the two sides remain locked in extremely tough negotiations that are complicated by three other factors : ( 1 ) pg ( 2 ) state legislative demands that the price davis negotiate for pg and ( 3 ) the ferc must " positively approve " any grid purchase by the state of california . the principal concern on the price front is that pg & e wants to sell the electricity grid for nearly four times the estimated book value of their transmission , while consumer groups insist that two times book value is the politically acceptable limit . " we see 2 . 3 times book value as an absolute upper bound . there is no way pg & e will get more than that , whatever they think , " according to the leader of one main consumer groups . " we are going to try to force any deals down to about 2 . 0 in any case . " negotiators for davis are also trying to ' proposition - proof ' any transmission deal to protect against a later ballot proposal . they think there are ways to do that , but not if the price of pg & e ' s part of the grid triggers a ballot initiative . remember , if davis ' s eventual solution triggers a ballot initiative , he will be running for re - election on the same ballot as a public initiative designed to overturn his solution . on the sacramento front - no one understands pg & e ' s motives the one question no one in sacramento can figure out is what kind of game pg & e is playing . in a three day period pg & e made a series of announcements that left everyone scratching their heads . ? late thursday , pg & e officials leaked information to california papers that they had agreed in principle to sell their part of the electricity transmission grid to the state , which seemed like obvious good news , but then made it clear in discussions that the price they were asking was at least 30 % above what the state was currently offering . while a deal can still be done , anything like the $ 10 billion pg & e wants would be very hard to get through the california legislature which needs to approve any purchase . ? late friday , pg & e officials announced that they had secured a $ 1 billion loan for the parent company ( not the electricity utility ) and would use the money to pay off bondholders , other creditors and to return $ 161 million to shareholders in a new dividend payout . not a cent of that money was earmarked to help the struggling electricity orphan of pg & e and that left at least one rating agency convinced that the company was more ready to send the utility into bankruptcy than had been previously understood . ? over the weekend , pg & e leaked a story claiming that it was willing to pay off its energy suppliers ' debt for 15 cents on the dollar right now . for generators who are having to make decisions each morning about whether to start legal actions that protect their rights in any eventual bankruptcy action or hold off on the assumption that the politics of this process will " make them whole " in a couple of months , that kind of trial balloon is extremely unnerving . thus , in a very short time period , pg & e ' s corporate owners showed they could access public credit markets with relative ease and then showed that they were unwilling to use these funds to smooth the way toward a solution to the energy crisis . davis has demanded that all of the major utilities absorb at least a part of the $ 13 billion debt they have accumulated since last summer and pg & e ' s fund - raising will harden and deepen those demands . as one senior political official told our source " just when you think the corporate leadership of that company has insulted us as completely as possible , they come up with something even more outrageous . " pg and some of these " long - term contracts " are actually only good for three months . none of these contracts , however , keep california from having to buy the most expensive peak demand electricity on the spot market . davis agrees on new consumer electricity rate hikes for next year while the media was concern with davis ' s announcement of long term contracts for california , of less concern to the media was davis ' s quietly announced a decision to let rates rise again for electricity consumers . the state will accept the 10 % emergency surcharge levied on consumers in january as a permanent increase as well as an additional 10 % increase for consumers that will take effect early 2002 when the old 1996 rate cut legislation expires . that would bring the average charge to about 8 cents a kilowatt hour . ferc the other major danger to the transmission line deal is that the federal energy regulatory commission can block the deal simply by failing to approve it in a positive vote . senior california officials and legislators doubt that ferc has jurisdiction , and believe that ferc would not dare stop a deal . but they may be wrong . " the deal can only go through if ferc specifically signs off on the deal . its power over transmission deal is absolute , no matter what anyone says , " according to source close to the president . there are three possibilities : 1 ) ferc could " pocket veto " it by not even putting it on agenda for discussion ; 2 ) the deal is put on the agenda but it gets voted down . the democrat on the commission , william massey , has already said he is opposed to it ; or 3 ) the commission could approve it but with condition that davis has to agree to bring the lines into a regional grid system . one complicating factor in the ferc decision , however , is that its chairman curt hebert , who is adamantly opposed to the transmission line sale , may not be around long enough to have his say . " hebert is definitely not a shoo in for the ferc chairman position , " says one washington official . two other appointments to the commission will soon be named , this official notes , and one of them " could easily become chairman .

Subject: re : cplex floating license chonawee and i just had a phone conversation with cplex . there are other alternatives ( products ) that may help in saving time and cost . chonawee and i feel that one floating develoment license , and one or two opl ( a package on sale that provides modeling and optimization features ) licenses will do . in addition , we need floating deployment licenses . for the development licenses , the charges should be split " equally " between the different groups that may ask for optimization help ( although it is hard to predict who may ask for future help ) . we are suggesting equally since these licenses are used to develop the needed solution but are not ( in general ) used to run the software . the deployment licenses can be charged on per - use basis for different groups . cplex is going to send us a new quote . we ' ll make the decision soon after that . - samer | 0 |

Subject: market maker simulation v . 2 stinson and vince , i finished the second version of the model which deals with open to close trading . the major difference is that there is an additional mark to market at open price which will affect the p / l . i also added the output features that john wants to see . the cumulative p / l is path dependent , the net open allowed seemingly has a strong influence on the cumulative p / l trajectory . ( the anomaly i discussed with vince is due to the trajectory shape change which needs further examination ) . could you review what i have done before we talk to john again ? zimin | 0 |
