A brief confusing history as I understand it...ENA East and West jointly owned the Catalytica equity account in 1999. It was written up based on expectations of an IPO value. At 12/99 it transferred to West Power because Catalytica entered into an agreement with Pastoria to provide the Project with its Zonon technology. This agreement included a commitment from GE to do research/work in order to use the Catalytica technology on GE turbines. The cost of this ($9.9MM) was added to the Pastoria turbine contract. In Feb 2000, when I arrived in Portland, I had the Catalytica account transferred to the Portfolio because I thought it was overvalued with little synergies with ENA West Power. In mid-2000 the agreement was restructured in order to "clean up" Catalytica so it could IPO. At that time, Enron was credited back the $9.9MM from Catalytica and it was decided by Delainey that that amount should be split 2/3-Pastoria and 1/3Catalytica Equity, with the 2/3 going to ENA West Power upon the sale of Pastoria. Pastoria did not get the full $9.9MM back because we benefited somewhat from favourable publicity and some interest savings. At this time, since there is no funds transfer, I believe it simply becomes an internal income transfer from the Merchant Portfolio to ENA West Power.
