John, Wes and Michael,

The purpose of tomorrow's meeting is to discuss a few of the investments that we are planning on transferring to the new investment group. The specific issues are as follows:

? Encorp - the value of this investment was written up from $3 million to $9.85 million in Q4 2000 without justification. It should be written back down at the end of this quarter. Otherwise, we are going to have a bigger problem later.
? Dais Analytic - same issue as above. Investment was written up from $8 million to $20 million. It should be written back down this quarter.
? AMPS - This is a problem. This company is going to continue to need capital (an additional $7 million immediately) well beyond what Enron should be funding. I am not willing to provide this company with ongoing funding without significant further evaluation. If it is that important to the strategic effort of ENA, then I recommend that ENA continue to manage the company and provide financing.
? Bridgeline - After further evaluation, it is clear that this is not a merchant investment and should not be moved to my group. I spoke with Jeff Donahue, and we both agree that if you want it sold, then his team should be the right one to do it.
? Copel - This one is fuzzy, but Jeff Donahue and I have agreed that one of us should take responsibility for exiting this investment. We still need to figure this one out.
