The first quarter of 2001 was a record quarter for the performance of the 
businesses under the Enron Global Markets group.  We posted a gross margin 
number of $100 million for the first quarter.  This represents a 38% increase 
in gross margin after a very successful Q1 of 2000.  When combined with 
outstanding results posted in December of 2000, EGM has contributed over $187 
million to the Wholesale group in the last 4 months.  This was due to 
tremendous contributions from each business group.

In order to keep the momentum going and to facilitate more growth, the 
following changes and additions have been made within the organization. 

Crude and Products group
Mid-marketing
Bill Berkeland has joined the group and is responsible for creating a focused 
mid-marketing function specifically within this group.  Fred Lagrasta is 
responsible for mid-marketing for Enron Americas and still maintains some 
responsibility for various contacts and deal flow as well.  The purpose of 
this group is to be very focused in the development of crude and product 
specific products and services.  This group reports to Randy Maffett.  

Origination
In order to manage the increased origination opportunities around the world, 
the Origination group has been changed in order to insure that the proper 
focus is placed on these opportunities and to manage its wide scope.  Doug 
Friedman will lead our NGL and Petchem origination efforts reporting to John 
Nowlan.  Joining Doug will be Rick Cantrell recently hired from Union 
Carbide.  The global crude and products origination group has added Randy O,

activities.

transactions and create a portfolio of assets and contractual access around 
the world.  Jonathan Whitehead has joined the LNG group and has
