BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Enron Global Markets - Coal and Emissions Trading
The first Enron Online synfuel trade occurred this past week, establishing
EnronOnline as the only online marketplace for synfuel.  The purpose of
bringing synfuel on EnronOnline is to provide market transparency between
the coal/synfuel spread.

The coal cash book, which began trading only two months ago, has traded
over 2 million spot tons.  The fundamental purpose of this book is to
capture short term market discrepancies, while also adding liquidity to the
spot market to further long term trading and marketing of coal.

Enron Energy and Operational Services - ENA Solid Fuel Initiative
ENA started development of a Coal Initiative late last year to support the
electricity trading desk and to provide Enron with a hedge in the event
that the cost of natural gas continues to escalate above current long term
projections.  Because of the culture shock associated the use of the words
'Enron' and 'coal' in the same sentence, consideration was been given to
changing the name to DNG (Dense Natural Gas); however, we went with Solid
Fuel Initiative.

This initiative is developing multiple sites throughout the country where
ENA feels there is the greatest opportunity for long term corporate
benefit.  The primary areas are Texas, Florida, southeastern Ohio and the
central Rocky Mountain Area.  There are 2 principal areas currently being
aggressively pursued:  Brownsville, TX and Brighton FL.  In Brownsville,
the Team secured formal Owner approval to lease a 600 acre site near the
Brownsville Ship Channel.  This approval will allow the formal permitting
activities to proceed without delay.

A 500 MW facility is being considered for Brownsville.  As conceptualized,
it will consist of two - 250 MW (net) CFB units (Circulating Fluidized Bed)
Boilers. The boilers will be fired by petroleum coke (petcoke) and use a
technology that will generate electricity in the most environmentally
friendly way currently possible.  One of the advantages of locating this
facility near Brownsville is that it remains a steady growth area and there
is already serious interest by others to take substantial initial base load
capacity.  There is further synergy with other developing projects in the
area that could lock down additional base capacity.  As stated the plant is
initially 500 MW, but will be designed to be expanded to a 1000 MW
facility.

The  EEOS  team  is  starting  to  grow and currently includes Hilda Akin &
Cheryl  Kent,  Project Admin Assistants, Bill Fox as PEM, and Paula Solomon
as  PCM.  As the project develops there will be more team members required.
In  addition,  as  the  Florida opportunity develops we plan to establish a
separate team.

Enron Freight Markets
EFM signed a firm contract with Streamline Shippers Association last week
to provide truckload capacity for one-year with EFM's option to extend the
contract for up to an additional year.  Streamline transloads international
shipments that enter the U.S. through the ports of Long Beach and Los
Angeles.  Streamline then consolidates the shipments into full truckloads
destined to the major population centers throughout the country.  EFM will
begin moving shipments to northeast destinations this week.
