| Internal
tax charts updated to IRS numbers for 2002 |
Affected
scenarios: Tax calculations
on all case sheets and on the Assumptions sheet.
Impact:
This affects all tax calculations throughout StockOpter® by
making them more precise for year 2002 calculations. Actual
impact on calculations is probably quite minor, if you had
chosen a reasonable number on the Assumptions sheet, Row 55
"Estimated inflation/escalation rate for tax-related values"
With this change, "Initial Model Years" prior to 2001 are
no longer supported.

| Price
Indices |
Description:
New data was added at the end of each row to include year-end
2001 numbers. Two companies on the sheet were dropped because
they had merged: Homestake Mining and Campbell Resources.
Two indices were added: Barrick Gold (replacing Homestake
Mining in that sector) and Enron (given its wide publicity).
Impact:
The utilities making use of the "PriceIndices" sheet (Price
Indexer, and Diversification Illustrator) now have an additional
year of data to use.
Affected
scenarios: All cases other than those with a filing status
of "Single".

| Initial
year for StockOpter® model |
Description:
The "Initial year for StockOpter® model" on the Assumptions
sheet (Row 42) now defaults to 2002, to reflect the tax number
changes noted above.
Impact:
No operational impact.
