available funds, to refund certain indebtedness of the Agency, as
more fully described in the Official Statement for the 1997A Bonds
dated September 26, 1997 (the "Official Statement").
Pursuant to Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Agency has executed a Continuing

Pursuant to the Toll Collection and Revenue
Management System (TCARMS) contract (terminated as of January 12,
2001), the contractor (Lockheed Martin IMS) was required to reimburse
the Agency on a monthly basis for any toll revenues lost resulting
from system failures. TCARMS, under the aforementioned contract,
was required to be accurate to a 99.9% level. The SJH TCARMS met
contractual acceptance standards in December 1998; additional acceptance
testing was not required by the contract. On October 12, 2000, the
F/ETCA Board of Directors approved a termination agreement with
Lockheed Martin IMS that called for all functions to be transitioned
back to the Agency by January 12, 2001. The TCARMS contract was
replaced in part by several contracts with individual service providers
and in part by additional Agency staff. The new contracts do not
contain an overall system accuracy guarantee. The Agency will continue
to ensure that the TCARMS system is well maintained and will continue
independent verification procedures through an Agency operated data
retrieval system.

Section 4.8 ~ A description of any material damage to the
toll road or the toll collection system during the past fiscal
year.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, no damage occurred
to the Toll Road or the toll collection system which, in the determination
of the Agency, resulted in a material reduction in Net Toll Revenues.
Additional Data ~ Update of Statistical Data contained in
Official Statement titled "The Toll Collection and Revenue Management
System-Cooperative User Fee Processing Agreement."
The Agency, along with the Foothill Eastern Transportation Corridor
Agency, entered into a Cooperative User Fee Processing Agreement,
dated as of March 23, 1998, with California Private Transportation
Company, LLP, a California limited partnership (CPTC). The agreement
has been extended and expires on March 23, 2002. Similar agreements
have been entered into with the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)
dated December 21, 1998 and February 24, 1998, respectively. The
Caltrans agreement has been extended and expires on December 31,

the signatories. The Agreements provide for daily reporting by

settlements are to be made daily with CPTC. Cash settlements with
