ITEM 9.           REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

         On June 20, 2001, Stephen W. Naeve, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Reliant Resources, Inc. (Reliant Resources) reiterated
previously made earnings per share estimates. These estimates were made on June
13, 2001 as disclosed in Reliant Resources' Current Report on Form 8K dated
June 13, 2001. Mr. Naeve reiterated that a reasonable range of diluted earnings
per share for 2001 on a pro forma basis for Reliant Resources would be between
$1.60 and $1.70 per share with a compound annual growth rate of 25%. Mr. Naeve
stated that the previously made estimates were conservative and that management
remains confident that the estimates will be achieved or exceeded.

         The information in this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant
to regulation FD. Accordingly, the information in this report will not be
incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Reliant
Resources under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically
identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of
the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a
determination or admission by Reliant Resources that the information in this
report is material or complete, or that investors should consider this
information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of
Reliant Resources or any of its affiliates.

         Some of the statements in this report are "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Although Reliant Resources believes that the expectations and the underlying
assumptions reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, there
can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and
actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements.

         The following are some of the factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied in Reliant Resources'
forward-looking statements:

   o     state, federal and international legislative and regulatory
         developments, including deregulation, re-regulation and restructuring
         of the electric utility industry, and changes in, or application of
         environmental and other laws and regulations to which Reliant Resources
         is subject,

   o     the timing of the implementation of the business
         separation plan of Reliant Resources' majority stockholder, Reliant
         Energy Incorporated,

   o     the effects of competition, including the extent and timing of the
         entry of additional competitors in Reliant Resources' markets,


                                       2

   o     Reliant Resources' pursuit of potential business strategies,
         including acquisitions or dispositions of assets or the development of
         additional power generation facilities,

   o     state, federal and other rate regulations in the United States
         and in foreign countries in which Reliant Resources operates or into
         which it might expand its operations,

   o     the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and interest
         rates,

   o     weather variations and other natural phenomena,

   o     political, legal and economic conditions and developments in
         the United States and in foreign countries in which Reliant Resources
         operates or into which it might expand its operations, including the
         effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,

   o     financial market conditions and the results of Reliant Resources'
         financing efforts,

   o     the performance of Reliant Resources' projects undertaken and the
         success of its efforts to invest in and develop new opportunities, and

   o     other factors Reliant Resources discusses in this and its other filings
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
