JP Morgan files suits for repayment of contracts guaranteeing Enron assets
NEW YORK (AFX) - JP Morgan Chase & Co said it has filed lawsuits against several major insurance companies seeking repayment of contracts guaranteeing assets of Enron Corp.
In a statement, the bank said a total of 1.1 bln usd is at stake of which its own share is about 965 mln usd. The contracts, or surety bonds, were issued by the insurance companies to guarantee obligations of Enron North America Corp and Enron Natural Gas Marketing Corp under prepaid forward natural gas and crude oil contracts.
The suits are seeking a declaration that the insurance companies must pay under the contracts. Payment is due tomorrow, said the statement.
JP Morgan said it is also seeking enforcement of a 165 mln usd letter of credit held by a European financial institution which backs an Enron-related swap contract.
"If the bonds and letter of credit are not paid, JP Morgan Chase will classify its exposure on them as non-performing assets," the bank said.
JP Morgan said its remaining Enron exposure comprises about 620 mln usd in loans, letters of credit and trading activity, about 600 mln usd in secured loan and trading exposures and about 250 mln ud in debtor-in-possession financing.

Enron Not Selling Trading Contracts
NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- A federal bankruptcy judge here granted beleaguered Enron Corp.`s (ENE) motion to expedite the auction of a majority stake in its core energy-trading operations.
This means that it is likely the company will receive bids by Jan. 7 and auction off the business Jan. 10.
But there were some caveats to the bankruptcy court`s approval. Judge Arthur J. Gonzalez - in presiding over the largest bankruptcy case in corporate history - said Enron must modify its initial motion to take into account creditors` concerns.
Martin Bienenstock, of the law firm Weil Gotshal & Manges, which represents Enron, said the company will submit a revised document with the court shortly, including changes to the provision for bidders` credit rating.

TEXT-S&P assesses European impact of Enron`s collapse
(UPDATE: The following statement was released by the rating agency)
LONDON, Dec 20 - Standard & Poor`s said today that direct financial loss at major European utilities following the collapse of Enron Corp (NYSE:ENE - news). (D/--/--) appears to be limited as most counterparties maintain adequate credit management procedures. In addition, the vast majority of utilities trade to protect margins on their generating and energy supply operations, and not for speculative profit making, which is clearly higher risk.
ADVERTISEMENT
Enron`s withdrawal from active trading is affecting electricity liquidity and prices in various European markets in different ways.
Enron was the largest energy trader in Europe prior to its suspension from the European exchanges, and controlled about one-fifth of the European electricity trading market. Its biggest involvement was in the German power markets, where it controlled up to 40% of electricity trading, mostly with industrial companies and utilities.
Although most utilities in Europe appear to have limited exposure to Enron, greater risks may emerge through the unwinding of energy trading contracts and financial derivatives. Over the counter prices on the German power exchanges in particular have breached EUR200 per MWh ($180 per megawatt-hour; MWh), almost three times normal winter peak prices, exposing companies without generating capacity to very high short-term contracting and balancing costs. High prices have spread right across the German and French markets, affecting Austria, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland.
The high prices appear to be driven by a high level of demand for power to cover short-term contractual imbalances and reduced liquidity, rather than system fundamentals such as lower-than-normal temperature or generating capacity shortages, despite the fact that they coincide with the seasonal increase in peak volumes. Continued high balancing prices, however, could create difficult trading conditions for the smaller supply companies, with a strong possibility of further financial loss.
The effect on other electricity trading areas such as the U.K., Spain, Italy, and the Nordic region appears to be more limited, with wholesale prices remaining at fairly normal levels for the winter period. These markets do not appear to have been affected by Enron`s withdrawal from trading (with the exception of short-term volatility when the administration of Enron`s European operations was announced), as many of Enron`s counterparties in the U.K. and Europe stopped trading with Enron before the default.
Although net liabilities (the difference between gross amounts owed by Enron and gross amounts due to Enron) for the majority of counterparties appear to be small, Standard & Poor`s remains concerned that the true extent of Enron`s gross liabilities to European utilities may be higher. Furthermore, there is a possibility that Enron`s creditors will not legally be able to set-off liabilities that remain payable by Enron against money owed, and further clarification on this issue is sought. (See ``Commodities Futures and Swaps Contracts: Set-Off and Bankruptcy`` published on Dec. 10, 2001, on RatingsDirect, Standard & Poor`s Web-based credit analysis system).
The lowering of Enron`s ratings to `D` on Dec. 3, 2001, has, however, triggered rating actions on a number of European project finance and structured finance transactions. Enron`s interests in each of these transactions is different, and therefore the effect of placing Enron into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S., and its European subsidiary into U.K. administration, has had a different effect on each of the projects.
Standard & Poor`s rates a number of Enron-related deals in the U.K. and Europe, and has assessed how the difficulties at Enron have affected the various transactions.
The ratings on European Power Ltd. Co.`s (EPLC) $95 million senior secured equity trust notes due 2010 were lowered to `D` on Dec. 5, 2001. This action reflects the fact that the credit quality of cash flows available to service debt is ultimately constrained by Enron`s credit quality. EPLC is a project-based swap structure, where the payment size can be adjusted negatively by operational risks at the associated projects. EPLC`s noteholders assume certain risks associated with Enron`s equity investments in three independent power projects in Europe: Trakya Elektrik (Turkey), Nowa Sarzyna (Poland), and Sarlux (Sardinia, Italy).
The ratings on the $136 million and GBP19.4 million ($28.2 million) notes due 2008 on Teesside Power Financing Ltd. (BB/Watch Neg/--) were placed on CreditWatch with negative implications on Nov. 30, 2001. This action reflects uncertainties about the structure, including the status of cash built up in the cash collateral account, and the threat of the Enron insolvency to the underlying dividend payments from Teesside Power Ltd. The ratings on Teesside Power Financing`s notes are primarily based on the dividend payments resulting from Enron`s 42.5% stake in Teesside Power, the owner and operator of a 1,875 MW gas-fired power plant in the U.K. The plant continues to operate normally, and is not included in the administration order.
Standard & Poor`s is waiting for further clarification of the status of the Teesside Power Ltd. project financing, as the default status of Enron as a major offtaker may breach the project contracts.
On Nov. 30, 2001, Standard & Poor`s also placed the triple-`B` ratings on Sutton Bridge Financing Ltd. on CreditWatch with negative implications. Through Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp., Enron is a counterparty in the 25-year U.K. pound sterling/U.S. dollar swap with Sutton Bridge Financing. A possible restructuring or cancellation of the swap could expose bondholders to currency-exchange risk. The Sutton Bridge 790 MW combined-cycle gas turbine plant was acquired by London Electricity PLC (A+/Stable/A-1) in March 2000. London Electricity stepped in to all of Enron`s financial obligations to the project at the time, with the exception of the currency swap, which remained with Enron after the power station was sold.

Enron darf Mehrheit ihres Energiehandels verkaufen
20. Dezember 2001 (e.r.) - Die unter Gläubigerschutz stehende Enron Corp darf nach einer Entscheidung des Insolvenzrichters Arthur J. Gonzalez den Mehrheitsanteil ihres Kerngeschäfts Energiehandel im Rahmen einer Auktion verkaufen. Auf Drängen der Gläubiger wird das Unternehmen dabei nicht mehr darauf bestehen, dass Bieter über ein Rating "A1" von Moody`s oder "A-t" von S&P verfügen. Vielmehr soll die Bonität der Interessenten jetzt gemeinsam von Enron und einem Gläubigerausschuss begutachtet werden. Voraussichtlich bis 7. Januar sollen Angebote angenommen werden, als wahrscheinlicher Termin für den . . .
. . . Verkauf gilt der 10. Januar. Nach Angaben des Insolvenzberaters Blackstone Group gibt es unter 14 kontaktierten Parteien "einige" seriöse Interessenten für den Enron-Energiehandel. Im vergangenen Jahr hat dieser Bereich rund 90 Prozent zu den Erlösen des Unternehmens beigetragen. Deutlich geringer ist das Interesse an den bestehenden Energiekontrakten des Unternehmens, deren Wert von Seiten des Konzernanwaltes mit zwischen fünf Milliarden bis sieben Milliarden Dollar beziffert wird. Vor ihrem Antrag auf Gläubigerschutz hatte Enron den Wert dieser Verträge mit 13 Milliarden Dollar veranschlagt.
Swiss Re schätzt Schaden aus Enron- Konkurs auf 184 Millionen Franken
20. Dezember 2001 (e.r.) - Der Rückversicherungskonzern Swiss Re hat den Schaden aus dem Konkurs des US-Energiehändlers Enron auf 173 Millionen Dollar bzw. 284 Millionen Franken vor Steuern beziffert. Nach Steuern entspreche dies 184 Millionen Franken Die größten Aussentände stammten mit 67 Millionen Dollar aus dem Bereich der Kautionsrückversicherung . . .
. . . Unternehmenskunden in den USA, teilte Swiss Re mit. Den endgültigen Verlust zu beziffern, sei aber weiterhin schwierig, da viele Kunden des Rückversicherers ihre eigene Beteiligung an dem Schaden prüften. Der geschätzte Schaden aus den gehaltenen Enron-Unternehmensanleihen betrage 31 Millionen und bei den Delkredere-Swaps 26 Millionen Dollar, hiess es.

Enron Online wird verkauft werden und ohne die Tradingplattform (80% des Enron Umsatzes) wird es kein Enron geben.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, (AFX) - XL Capital Ltd said that its
estimated net aggregate insurance and reinsurance
underwriting exposures in connection with the bankruptcy of

CITIGROUP IS STALKING HORSE
Citigroup Is Close to Bidding for Enron Operation
21 Dec 2001, 00:06am ET

Citigroup Inc. is close to cementing a bid for most of Enron
Corp.`s flagship energy-trading operations, giving the beleaguered energy company
some reason for optimism as it prepares for a bankruptcy-court auction of the unit,
people familiar with the matter told Friday`s Wall Street Journal.
If Citigroup`s Salomon Smith Barney investment banking subsidiary strikes a deal
with Enron (ENE) for the operations, and UBS AG (UBS) or another bidder fails to
top it, Citigroup (C) would become what is known in bankruptcy proceedings as the
"stalking horse" -- or the bidder to beat -- in an auction of the energy-trading
business scheduled for Jan. 10 in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan.
Houston-based Enron filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-court protection on Dec. 2, in
a move that shields the company from creditors while it seeks to reorganize.
UBS also has been trying to negotiate a possible bid for the energy-trading
business, and it couldn`t be determined yesterday evening if it was still in the
running. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and
American International Group Inc. have at various times also considered bidding for
the Enron unit, according to people involved in the process. A spokesman for
Citigroup declined to comment on the negotiations, as did representatives of UBS
and the other firms that have expressed interest in bidding.
Citigroup`s anticipated bid comes amid indications of a rising toll in the financial
world related to Enron`s collapse. Late Wednesday, J.P. Morgan said its exposure to
Enron was nearly $1 billion more than the $900 million it had already disclosed. And
yesterday, the lineup of insurers with announced exposure to Enron grew longer, as
XL Capital Ltd. (XL), Bermuda, said it had pretax exposure to Enron`s bankruptcy of
$75 million through its insurance and reinsurance operations.
XL, in a statement, said $45 million of that was related to its surety-bond
operations and that it wasn`t in a position to estimate what its losses would be
from its exposure. Surety bonds are bonds that ensure the completion of a
transaction or a project.

Citigroup an Enron-Sparte interessiert?
Der weltgrößte Finanzdienstleister Citigroup Inc. steht offenbar kurz vor der Bekanntgabe eines Übernahmeangebots für das Energiehandels-Geschäft der angeschlagenen Enron Corp., so das Wall Street Journal in seiner Online-Ausgabe am Freitag.
Der Zeitung zufolge wird das Übernahmeangebot durch die Investment-Sparte Salomon Smith Barney unterbreitet. Jedoch sind laut dem WSJ auch andere Unternehmen, darunter die schweizer UBS AG, an dem Geschäftsbereich von Enron interessiert. Dieser soll am 10. Januar von einem Konkursgericht versteigert werden.
Wie das WSJ weiter berichtet, zogen auch die Investmentbanken J.P. Morgan Chase und Goldman Sachs sowie der Versicherer American International Group zeitweise eine Übernahme der Enron-Sparte in Betracht.
Die Aktie der Enron Corp., die Anfang Dezember Gläubigerschutz nach Chapter 11 beantragt hat, schloss gestern mit einem Minus von 4,55 Prozent bei 0,42 Dollar. Der Anteilsschein von Citigroup beendete den Handel am Donnerstag bei 49,71 Dollar (-0,58 Prozent).

Bush hat die US-Medien gezähmt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Washington (rpo). US-Präsident George W. Bush hat geschafft, was kaum einem anderen Staats- oder Regierungschef in einer westlichen Demokratie geglückt ist: Er hat die Medien gezähmt, insbesondere die in den USA.
Kritik an seiner Person oder seinem Krieg gegen den internationalen Terrorismus ist praktisch tabu. Die amerikanischen Medien, die einst jeden Ausrutscher von Bushs Vorgänger Bill Clinton mit Häme verfolgten, sind plötzlich so zahm wie nie zuvor. Offenkundig wurde dies erneut nach dem spektakulären Zusammenbruch des texanischen Energieriesen Enron.
Zahlreiche enge Bush-Mitarbeiter hatten einst für den inmitten finanzieller Unregelmäßigkeiten zusammengebrochenen Konzern gearbeitet oder hatten wie Bushs Chefstratege Karl Rove Aktien des Unternehmens. Bush selbst ist mit Enron-Chef Kenneth Lay befreundet und erhielt in den vergangenen acht Jahren nach Informationen der "Washington Post" zwei Millionen Dollar (rund 4,4 Millionen Mark/2,25 Millionen Euro) an Spenden.
"Enron ist Whitewater hoch drei", hieß es in einem der wenigen Kommentare in der "Los Angeles Times" in Anspielung an den Skandal um angeblich dubiose Grundstücksgeschäfte der Clintons. Doch während sich die Clintons im Whitewater-Skandal acht Jahre lang immer wieder aus Neue gegen die Vorwürfe verteidigen mussten, widmeten sich die Medien zwar ausführlich dem wirtschaftlichen Aspekt, doch die politischen Verwicklungen in einer der größten Firmenpleiten in der US-Geschichte blieben weitgehend unbeachtet.
Zum einen hängt dies nach Einschätzungen von Beobachtern damit zusammen, dass in den Medien für andere Geschichten als den Krieg in Afghanistan kaum Platz ist, zum anderen sind die Medien aber auch von einer patriotischen Welle erfasst worden, wo Kritik einfach nicht opportun erscheint.
Wer es wagt, Bush oder den Krieg gegen den Terrorismus zu kritisieren, muss mit dem spontanen Volkszorn rechnen. Einer der ersten, der dies erfahren musste, war der Talk-Show-Moderator Bill Maher, der Zweifel an Bushs Feststellung übte, dass die Mitglieder der Terrororganisation El Kaida alle Feiglinge seien. Mehrere lokale Fernsehsender strichen daraufhin Mahers Sendung aus dem Programm und erst nach seinen mehrmaligen Entschuldigungen durfte er weiter moderieren.
Ähnlich ging es dem bekannten ABC-Moderator Peter Jennings, dem vom dem ultrakonservativen Radiomoderator Rush Limbaugh fälschlicherweise vorgeworfen worden war, er habe Bushs Verhalten in den ersten Stunden nach dem Anschlag auf das World Trade Center kritisiert. Binnen kürzester Zeit wurde der Sender mit 10 000 Anrufen und empörten E-Mails überflutet.
Seitdem und auch angesichts von Zustimmungsraten von über 85 Prozent für Bush äußert sich kaum noch ein Moderator oder Zeitungskommentator kritisch gegenüber dem Präsidenten. Bezeichnend ist auch, dass die einst rebellischen US-Fernsehsender nach nur kurzem Zögern einwilligten, sich bei der Ausstrahlung von Videobotschaften des Terroristenführers Osama bin Laden erst mit dem Weißen Haus abzusprechen.
Selbst kritische Magazine wie "Newsweek" profilieren sich inzwischen statt mit Enthüllungsgeschichten lieber mit Präsidentenlob. So brachte "Newsweek" kürzlich eine Titelgeschichte über Bush und die First Lady Laura, in der die "Stärke" Bushs so über allen Maßen gelobt wurde, dass die Medienkritiker der Organisation "FAIR" dafür plädierten, den Autoren dafür den großen Propaganda- Preis zu verleihen.

Former Head of Enron Denies Wrongdoing
By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
ASHINGTON, Dec. 21 — As
government investigators look for
the roots of Enron (news/quote)`s demise,
the Enron chief executive who quit just
months before the company collapsed broke
his silence today to deny any responsibility
or wrongdoing.
Jeffrey K. Skilling, who resigned as chief
executive in August after a decade at the
company, said in an interview that he had
been stunned by Enron`s subsequent descent
and by revelations that his former chief
financial officer and right-hand man made
more than $30 million from dealings with
investment partnerships related to the
company.
Mr. Skilling said that he had never invested
in such partnerships and disputed assertions
by people close to Enron that he had been
counseled against entering the company into
deals with them. But he said that the
partnerships, now the subject of government
investigations, were the idea of the former
chief financial officer, Andrew S. Fastow.
While shareholders and employees who
suffered big losses have filed suits against
Enron, Mr. Skilling sold some of his holdings
shortly before the collapse. Mr. Skilling
disclosed that he sold about 500,000 shares
of Enron stock on Sept. 17 — when the
United States stock markets reopened after
the terrorist attacks. Based on trading that
day, the sale would have brought about $15
million. That was his only sale of Enron
stock after his resignation, he said. Earlier in
the year, Securities and Exchange
Commission filings show, he took in $15.6
million by selling 240,000 shares. Regulatory
filings indicate that he still owns more than
600,000 shares, and many options.
"We`re all trying to figure out what happened," Mr. Skilling said. "This was a
tragedy. I had no idea the company was in anything but excellent shape."
In October, he offered to return to Enron to help the company weather its
growing crisis, he said. While the chairman, Kenneth L. Lay, liked the idea,
Mr. Skilling said, it was rejected because of concerns that "the press might
not understand it and it would add to the confusion." Soon after, Enron
became the biggest corporate bankruptcy ever.
Based on a conversation with a senior Enron executive after he quit, Mr.
Skilling said that the company lost out on the opportunity to obtain $3.5
billion to $4 billion in financing when it was most needed because of
provisions unusual in such contracts.
Mr. Skilling, a former consultant at McKinsey & Company, joined Enron in
1990 and helped transform it into the largest energy-trading company in the
world. Until recently, Enron dominated the sale and marketing of natural gas,
electricity and other commodities. It became a focal point in the California
energy crisis, and its close ties to the Bush administration led to criticism that
it had helped shape the administration`s energy policy.
But the company began to unravel in October as it disclosed losses and
reductions in equity partly because of dealings with investment partnerships
involving Mr. Fastow.
The S.E.C. soon began a formal investigation, and last month Enron said it
had overstated almost $600 million in profits over the last five years. A rival
Houston energy trader, Dynegy Inc. (news/quote), agreed on Nov. 9 to
rescue Enron but called off the merger later that month. Enron collapsed in
the face of looming debt payments and the refusal of many energy-trading
customers to continue to do business with it.
Mr. Skilling, who has spent two days giving sworn testimony to the S.E.C.,
said he never exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self- incrimination
before investigators. He also said he did not believe he would face sanction
by the S.E.C. or criminal charges. "I didn`t do anything wrong," he said.
"In the last two months, I`ve gone through everything in my mind that was
done while I was there that could have been related to this, and given the
information available at the time, I think we made the right decisions," he
said.
He added, "After much soul- searching, given the information at the time, I
would not have done anything different."
An Enron spokeswoman, Karen Denne, declined to comment on what Mr.
Skilling had to say. "I can`t comment on what Jeff did or did not know.
That`s a question for Jeff to answer," she said. Lawyers for Mr. Fastow
could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Skilling said that four things brought Enron down — none of which
could have individually ruptured the company: Admissions of serious
accounting errors, investor concerns about "suggestions of self-dealing," a
"total loss of confidence by the financial sector in Enron," and what Mr.
Skilling described as clauses unusual in routine financing arrangements that
cut off access to loan facilities in the event of a "material adverse" change at
Enron.
The result, he said, "was a classic run on the bank."
Mr. Skilling said he could not say exactly what the clause was that hurt
Enron`s ability to borrow more money, but that based on a conversation he
had with Greg Whalley, who was named Enron`s president and chief
operating officer after Mr. Skilling resigned, the clause was an "unexpected"
find in a routine financial document.
The comments from Mr. Whalley occurred in late October, he said, in a
discussion about the possibility of Mr. Skilling returning to the company.
"Greg seemed to think this was a pretty good idea," he said.
Enron officials have said the partnerships involving Mr. Fastow were a
means to allow the company to hedge its exposure to some of its
investments. Mr. Skilling said he did not have many details about the
partnerships, but he said the deals with Mr. Fastow were partly set up "to
save Enron money." Mr. Fastow`s group might be willing to give Enron a
better price — or better terms — because it was more familiar with the
assets being traded, he said.
The familiarity "reduced some of the uncertainty," he said.
But he said he was stunned when he read a regulatory filing by Enron on
Nov. 8 that said Mr. Fastow had made more that $30 million off the deals.
He said he was also surprised to learn that at least several other Enron
executives had been investors in the partnerships. "I, along with a lot of
people, were surprised when the 8-K was released," he said.

by the S.E.C. or criminal charges. "I didn`t do anything wrong," he said.
"In the last two months, I`ve gone through everything in my mind that was
done while I was there that could have been related to this, and given the
information available at the time, I think we made the right decisions," he
said.
He added, "After much soul- searching, given the information at the time, I
would not have done anything different."
An Enron spokeswoman, Karen Denne, declined to comment on what Mr.
Skilling had to say. "I can`t comment on what Jeff did or did not know.
That`s a question for Jeff to answer," she said. Lawyers for Mr. Fastow
could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Skilling said that four things brought Enron down — none of which
could have individually ruptured the company: Admissions of serious
accounting errors, investor concerns about "suggestions of self-dealing," a
"total loss of confidence by the financial sector in Enron," and what Mr.
Skilling described as clauses unusual in routine financing arrangements that
cut off access to loan facilities in the event of a "material adverse" change at
Enron.
The result, he said, "was a classic run on the bank."
Mr. Skilling said he could not say exactly what the clause was that hurt
Enron`s ability to borrow more money, but that based on a conversation he
had with Greg Whalley, who was named Enron`s president and chief
operating officer after Mr. Skilling resigned, the clause was an "unexpected"
find in a routine financial document.
The comments from Mr. Whalley occurred in late October, he said, in a
discussion about the possibility of Mr. Skilling returning to the company.
"Greg seemed to think this was a pretty good idea," he said.
Enron officials have said the partnerships involving Mr. Fastow were a
means to allow the company to hedge its exposure to some of its
investments. Mr. Skilling said he did not have many details about the
partnerships, but he said the deals with Mr. Fastow were partly set up "to
save Enron money." Mr. Fastow`s group might be willing to give Enron a
better price — or better terms — because it was more familiar with the
assets being traded, he said.
The familiarity "reduced some of the uncertainty," he said.
But he said he was stunned when he read a regulatory filing by Enron on
Nov. 8 that said Mr. Fastow had made more that $30 million off the deals.
He said he was also surprised to learn that at least several other Enron
executives had been investors in the partnerships. "I, along with a lot of
people, were surprised when the 8-K was released," he said.
