follows:

1. Entex Contract - (John L.)

- J. Mrha discussions with J. Schwieger and J. Lavo continuing
- Working on reconciling EOY balancing and modeling physical storage
constraints

3. Storage Acquisition Targets - (Jean M., Julie G.)
- Target list prepared, preparing facility costs analysis.

4. Bammel Header - (Jean M.)
- Analyzing Northern Texas and Beaumont Markets

5. Project Torque: (Wes C., J. Coffey)
- P/L established based on physical gas flow from POPS system and $ flows
from general ledger. No direct tie to UNIFY settlements information
but now numbers are reconcilable
- 1999 Margin Summary
Gross Margin = $111MM (not including financial trading),
Net Margin = $101MM
EBITDA (HPL standalone before G&A) = $48MM
EBITDA (HPL standalone) = $35MM
- Book Value Summary

Houston BV (incl. FV) = $2.3 bn + Texas & Storage P/L unwind of $163MM
requires a lease payment for Houston assets
of $19MM over 30 yrs
Pad gas BV = $153MM (on basis of $2.34/mmBtu) not included in above
Working gas BV = $116MM (on basis of $2.34/mmBtu) not included in above

6. HPL Acquisition (T. Detmerming):

Both bidders want ENA to provide/contribute trading and business operations
services.

provide
trading services on a contract basis under a JV arrangement (Bridgeline)
- AEP: interested in base case structure, wants ENA to sell trading desk
(and
potentially provide business operation services under a service

Guys, as a follow up to our meeting today, I thought I would put together a
list of deliverables agreed to in the meeting. The goal would be to have a
definitive strategy for HPL and storage assets by the end of July that could
be acted upon.

a) Elimination of the Entex contract - current value - John L.;
b) Storage value algorithm incorporating spread values, increasing intra-day
and monthly volatility and blowdown values - Jean M, John L, Jim S.;
c) Storage acquisition targets and issues surrounding value/execution - top
5 to 10 for blowdown and tarantula strategy - Jean M, Julie G.;
d) Structure, value, cost and issues surrounding Bammel "header" - Jean M.;
e) Project Torque - definitive balance sheet, income statement and
contribution margin statement for HPL - Wes C.;
f) Establish viability of selling HPL assets - small private placement -
working with Lehman to finalize value, exection risk, timing, structure et al
- Patrick W.

I would like this group to get back together in the fourth week of July to
determine a final action plan.

Delainey
