NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES DURING REPORTING PERIOD (cont.)

Diversified Energy  Contractors LLC - DECCO provided energy related  consulting,
contracting and maintenance services.

CSW Power Marketing, Inc. - facilitated power brokering services for certain CSW
Energy services businesses.

Utility Data Resources, Inc. - provided electricity pricing management,

Energy  Services,  Inc. - In late 1997,  CSW Energy  Services  was  launched  to
explore the electric utility  industry's  emerging retail supply markets as they
were deregulated on a state-by-state basis. In January 1999, CSW Energy Services
announced  that it was ceasing its  business as a retail  electric  supplier and
that it would assign or terminate its existing  electricity  supply contracts to
other suppliers.

EnerShop - Historically, EnerShop provided energy marketing services through two
product  lines:  EnerACT  and  Performance  Contracting.  EnerACT  is an  energy
information  service  targeting and  aggregating  multi-site  customers'  energy
information.  Performance  Contracting offers turn-key design and implementation
of energy efficiency  projects.  Effective August 1, 1999, EnerShop  transferred
the  EnerACT  product  line  within the  affiliated  group to C3  Communications
allowing  EnerShop to focus on Performance  Contracting  as the primary  product
line.
