During the quarter, Enterprises participated in the

investments that would qualify as "exempt wholesale generators"
under Section 32(a) of the Act. In addition, Enterprises
expended $276,923 for preliminary development activities
associated with potential investments that would qualify as
"foreign utility companies" under Section 33 of the Act.
Enterprises also expended $4,869 for preliminary development
activities associated with potential investments that would

non-exempt domestic wholesale generating and transmission

IV. First Pacific Networks, Inc. Transactions
A. Description of Progress in Development and Testing of
CCLM/AFS
During the first quarter of 1994, 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 Intelligent Utility Units and the in-
house networks that had been installed began successful operation
of (a) program, shutdown and cycle of specific customer
appliances to operate during specific times of day as determined
by the customer and the utility. Also during this period, it was
determined that software changes were needed in the host
simulator that is remotely located at the utility headquarters.
This temporarily suspended the ability to perform other tests
such as (b) providing the customer with time-of-use billing and
itemized appliance usage data, (c) turning power on or off to the
residence remotely, (d) report power outages automatically to the
utility, (e) remotely reading the customer's electric meter and
(f) estimate and validate kw load reduction potential for various
control options initiated by the utility. The Intelligent
Utility Unit presently installed is performing the Non-Intrusive
Appliance Load Monitoring operation that is the core technology
needed to perform itemized appliance usage data; however, the
accuracy of such data cannot be determined until the new host
simulator software is installed. These software changes should
be completed by June 1994. The other tests are scheduled to be
completed by the end of the year. Test results will be used to
evaluate third party supplied hardware and to generate customer
feedback as to the desired features of CCLM/AFS.
B. Costs and Revenues Re: CCLM/AFS
Total costs incurred by Enterprises in connection with the
development, field testing and marketing of CCLM/AFS during the
three month period ending March 31, 1994 were $123,384.
Total costs incurred by FPN and billed during the four month
period ending April 30, 1993 in connection with the development,
field testing and marketing of CCLM/AFS were $620,578. No
billings have been received from FPN since the April 1993
billing.
No revenues have been received by Enterprises in connection
with the CCLM/AFS product.
V. Financing, Amortization and Financial Statements

the FPN license in the amount of $276,517 and to the organization
