Hello all!

I met with Diann Huddleson today and she clarified some issues for me regar=
ding the DASRing of customers in California. Unfortunately it wasn't what =
we wanted to hear.

On the easy side of things, all residential customers (PGE, SCE, SDG&E) wer=
e turned back to the utilities starting May 30th (DASRs were submitted and =
they are cycling off now depending upon meter reading cycles, etc.) These =
customers received a letter letting them know about it.

On the commercial side of things (Diann had no distinctions between small c=
ommercial & large commercial & industrial customers), SDG&E customers have =
been ours all along and have never been DASRed and reDASRed. In PGE & SCE,=
IBM behind PGE was also never put through the DASR process and has continu=
ously received our product. All other PGE & SCE customers were originally =
submitted for DASRing back to the utilities on - January 31!!!!! That prov=
ides enough issues of its own, but I'll get to that. PGE did a virtual swi=
tch so as of Jan 31 all these customers became PGE's again, but with SCE, w=
hen a customer was switched depending upon meter reading cycles, etc. All =
de-DASRed customers were then re-DASRed back to us starting June 21, and Di=
ann indicated that not only all of our old customers were re-DASRed, but ne=
w contracts were being executed and these new customers were also being DAS=
Red to us. No communication about all of this has been sent to the custome=
rs, but as we discussed, some personal basis notice may have been given to =
our larger customers through the reps.

So - I'm not worried about the residential side - we'll have to send them a=
n annual historical label next April (with perhaps a letter explaining why =
they're still receiving info from us). As far as the commercial/industrial=
.......

1. No notice was provided to probably the majority of the customers.
2. They've been receiving system mix since Feb 1 and we've been proceeding=
as if it were actually BIZMIX - i.e. the 2nd quarter labels they just rece=
ived indicated BIZMIX, as appropriate to the customer.
3. What are the new customers (those as being DASRed to us the first time =
as of June 21) being told they are receiving? Are they being marketed BIZM=
IX?
4. As far as dates are concerned for reporting purposes, will we just use =
those given as the date of submission (i.e. Jan 31, May 30, June 21) as it =
is impossible to pinpoint when each individual customer transferred?

Let me know your input.
