BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

OIL PRODUCTS
Congratulations to the US Oil Products Trading Team!  On October 4, 2000 they 
successfully completed a deal with a volume of 2,400,000 barrels with a 
Notional Value of $80,640,000.  This is the highest Notional Value associated 
with an EOL trade.

Kudos again for another great deal. They have done another large 
crack-spread, this time for 100,000 barrels per month for calendar 2001. This 
trade notionally values out at over $40 million and is the second largest 
transaction conducted to date on EOL.

STEEL
Steel Trading and Origination teams, headed by Greg Hermans and Tim 
Battaglia, respectively, have already defined a Hot-Rolled coil financial 
product.  The contract has been drafted and is currently being discussed with 
customers.

Financial Hot Rolled Steel will be posted on EnronOnline, allowing the steel 
industry to hedge their price exposure for the first time in history. The 
access to hedging products will help the steel industry manage technicalities 
and smooth cash flow.  Over time, forward price curves with transparent 
pricing should allow the steel industry to also benefit from improved access 
to capital.

The next challenge will be to educate the steel industry about financial 
swaps and derivatives as risk management tools.  The $300 billion steel 
market should provide an excellent growth opportunity for Enron.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS
FuelCell Energy, Inc. recently announced that it has entered into an alliance 
with ENA.  FuelCell Energy and Enron will work together to develop and market 
FuelCell Energy's Direct FuelCellc (DFCc) products.  In connection with the 
alliance, Enron has invested $5 million in the common stock of FuelCell 
Energy.  Additionally, FuelCell Energy will issue warrants enabling Enron to 
purchase up to 1.3 million shares of FuelCell Energy common stock.  

Fuel cell developer Dais-Analytic Corp. also announced an alliance with ENA.  
As part of this alliance, Enron has made an equity investment in 
Dais-Analytic and will support market development, distribution and other 
field services for Dais-Analytic's fuel cell, humidity control and related 
products.  

ENA RESEARCH GROUP

What,s new from the Country Risk and Foreign Exchange Team? On October 13th, 
2000, we launched a new product called the Enron &International Monitor,8 an 
international economic review that will be published each Friday by the FX 
and Sovereign Risk Group.  The purpose of this product is to inform the 
foreign exchange traders as well as management about important international 
economic events and their impact on currency and financial markets.  Special 
emphasis is placed on potential central bank policy changes and the impact 
these changes have on interest rates and currencies.  We also monitor other 
key markets, with a special focus on oil, and its impact on consumer, 
producer and equity prices. The International Monitor can be found on the ENA,
s web site, by accessing 
http//ecthou-webcl1.nt.ect.enron.com/research/ForeignExchange/FXMain.htm.

Please email Leann Walton if you would like to receive the International 
Monitor weekly by email, or if you would like us to email you the first two 
issues.  Visit our web site at http://home.ect.enron.com/ - Select

NEWS FROM GLOBALFLASH

Enron Launches Financial Plastics & Petrochemicals Derivatives on EnronOnline
Enron is to start trading a new range of financial swap contracts for the 
plastics and petrochemicals industry on www.enrononline.com, the company,s 
free, real-time Internet-based trading platform. This is the first time that 
these derivative products, designed to help clients better manage the price 
volatility which characterises the multi-billion dollar industry, have been 
made available on the Internet in Europe.

Gas Deliveries in Germany
Since 1 October 2000, Enron has been the first and only non-incumbent player 
to be able to serve customers within Germany by delivering gas to three local 
utilities, those of Heidelberg, T_bingen, and Bensheim.  Carsten Haack who 
closed the first deal with Heidelberg and was in charge of negotiation of the 
transport did mention that the procedures are still complicated and lengthy 
and that the terms and conditions for future agreements will need to be 
easier, more transparent and standardised. Helge-J_rgen Beil from the 
Frankfurt office who closed the gas deals with the municipalities of T_bingen 
and Bensheim said that these deliveries are encouraging but do not guarantee 
the future yet.   Another positive aspect is that Enron's continental gas 
trading team was able to do the first gas trade within Germany with some of 
the gas Heidelberg contracted for but could not take on.

Liquid Fuels Group Launches Tanker Freight Forwards
Scott Moncrieff, a director in the group, has with his team introduced tanker 
freight forward contracts on to EnronOnline, to offer a standardised hedging 
contract in today's highly volatile tanker market, currently worth in excess 
of US$ 10 billion per annum.

And on the Dry-Side......
Pierre Aury, Chris Connelly and their team introduced a similar on-line 
forward freight swap in June and to date, have traded contracts with a 
notional value of US$ 8 million, equivalent to 20 million metric tonnes of 
combined physical and financial contracts.  The routes are  from Colombia and 
South Africa to Rotterdam, which are key routes for coal transport.
