IV. First Pacific Networks, Inc. Transactions
A. Description of Progress in Development and Testing of

During the first quarter of 1995, Enterprises and First
Pacific Networks, Inc. (FPN) continued the development and
modification of FPN's PX System in order to create a Customer
Controlled Load Management/Automated Feedback System (CCLM/AFS)
for advanced energy management and other utility applications.
During this period, the testing of the system revealed a
potential problem with the in-house communications protocol. A
decision has been made to replace the existing proprietary in-
home communications protocol with a more open system. This is
requiring some hardware and software changeouts and/or upgrades
to both the in-home network and the Intelligent Utility Units.
All changeouts and testing are still on-going during the second
quarter and were not accomplished during the first quarter as
previously anticipated. Following these changeouts, more testing
will be possible.
