1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company provides a broad range
of financial services, including institutional and retail brokerage,
investment banking, merchant banking, trust related services and investment
management. The Company serves a diverse group of institutional, corporate
and individual clients.

     In January 1999, the shareholders of TEI, Inc. ("TEI") exchanged all
common shares of TEI for 3,562,753 common shares of the Company. The Company
simultaneously completed the acquisition of three financial services firms:
Harris Webb & Garrison, Inc. ("HWG"), Pinnacle Management & Trust Company
("PMT") and Spires Financial, L.P. ("Spires"), by exchanging 3,562,500 of its
common shares for all of the ownership interests of the three financial
services firms. TEI is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

     In January 2000, the Company merged HWG with Sanders Morris Mundy Inc.
("SMM") by exchanging 7,125,220 shares of the Company's common stock for all
of the ownership interests of SMM. SMM survived the merger, became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company and was renamed Sanders Morris Harris Inc.
("SMH"). SMM is a twelve year old investment banking and brokerage firm based
in Houston, Texas, with branch offices in New York City, Denver and Chicago.

     In June 2000, the Company acquired Blackford Securities Corporation
("Blackford"), for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock and $5.5
million in cash. Blackford, based in Garden City, New York, specializes in
providing prime brokerage services to investment partnerships and execution
services to institutions. As a result of these acquisitions, current period
results are not comparable to the prior period.

     In June 2000, the Company discontinued the operations of Spires, a
regional brokerage service firm whose activities primarily include the
trading of mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, the operations of Spires
for all prior periods since its acquisition in January 1999 have been
reclassified as discontinued operations.

     CONSOLIDATION

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

     In management's opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position at September 30, 2000, results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.

     These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999. The balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been reclassified from
amounts previously reported in the Company's annual report on Form 10K to
reflect the discontinuance of Spires. The statement of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, and the statement of cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, have also been
reclassified to reflect the discontinuance of Spires.

     RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 as
amended established accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective beginning
January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to be material.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
(SAB No. 101). SAB No. 101, as amended, is required to be implemented in the
fourth quarter of 2000 and is not expected to be material.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

     On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired HWG, PMT, and Spires. The
former owners of HWG, PMT, and Spires received 3,562,500 shares of the
Company's common stock, which represented 49.98% of the outstanding common
stock. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the
financial information of HWG, PMT, and Spires is included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase
price of approximately $31 million exceeded the fair value of identifiable
net assets acquired by approximately $22 million, which has been recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
During the second quarter of 2000 the Company charged off approximately $8.2
million of goodwill related to the discontinuance of operations of Spires.

     On January 31, 2000, HWG merged with SMM. SMM survived the merger,
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was renamed Sanders
Morris Harris Inc. ("SMH"). The former owners of SMM received 7,125,220
shares of the Company's common stock in the merger, which represented
approximately 50% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The merger was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the financial information of
SMM has been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from
February 1, 2000. The purchase price of approximately $37 million exceeded
the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired by approximately $23
million, which has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 25 years. The purchase price has been allocated to
the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon preliminary
estimates of fair value. The actual allocation may be different from
preliminary allocation due to refinements in the estimates of the fair values
of the net assets acquired; however, such differences are not expected to be
material.

     On June 30, 2000, SMH acquired Blackford. The former owners of Blackford
received 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock and $5.5 million in
cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
financial information of Blackford has been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from June 30, 2000. The purchase price of
approximately $9.3 million exceeded the fair value of identifiable net assets
acquired by approximately $7.1 million, which has been recorded as goodwill
and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The purchase
price has been allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The actual allocation
may be different from preliminary allocation due to refinements in the
estimates of the fair values of the net assets acquired; however, such
differences are not expected to be material.

5.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Energy Recovery Resources, Inc.'s ("ERRI") operations were discontinued
as of December 31, 1998 and the assets and liabilities of ERRI were disposed
of on July 13, 2000. The Company remains liable for certain post-closing
balance sheet adjustments related to minimum working capital and net asset
value thresholds established in the sale agreement and certain environmental
claims with a maximum exposure of $2.2 million. The Company recorded a
provision for loss on disposition of ERRI of $600,000 during the second
quarter of 2000. It is reasonably possible that the Company will need to
record additional loss provisions on the disposition of ERRI in future
periods based on potential post-closing claims.

     Engineered Systems, Inc.'s ("ESI") operations were discontinued as of
December 31, 1995 and assets of ESI were disposed of on December 23, 1997.
The purchaser agreed to complete customer contracts in process at the time of
the sale. However, the Company remains liable for costs incurred by the
purchaser in excess of amounts recoverable from customers. The Company
recorded an additional loss of $100,000 during the second quarter of 2000 as
a result of those continuing liabilities. In March 2000, the Company paid the
purchaser $420,000, and in July 2000 the Company paid the purchaser an
additional $1.4 million to satisfy a portion of those liabilities. The
Company currently estimates that it will not incur any additional losses with
respect to contracts to be completed by the purchaser; however, the Company
has experienced significant changes in these estimates in the past and it is
reasonably possible that such changes could occur in future periods.

     Spires' operations were discontinued in June 2000 due to changes in the
mortgage-backed securities market resulting from interest rate increases and
departures of certain key employees. Spires incurred net losses of $9.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, including goodwill
impairment of $8.2 million and lease obligations of $505,000. Certain assets
and liabilities of Spires, consisting of proprietary software, databases, and
property are held for sale as of September 30, 2000. Other operating net
assets of Spires not held for sale are expected to be realized in 2000.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting
commitments. Transactions relating to underwriting commitments that were open
at September 30, 2000, were subsequently settled, and had no material effect
on the consolidated financial statements as of that date.

     The Company and its subsidiaries have obligations under operating leases
that expire by 2007 with initial noncancelable terms in excess of one year.
Aggregate annual rentals for office space and computer and office equipment
are as follows:

</TABLE>

     The Company is involved in litigation and routine claims from time to
time. Certain of the Company's litigation and claims are covered by insurance
with a maximum deductible of $50,000. During the third quarter of 2000, the
Company paid $62,500 to a brokerage customer to settle a claim that alleged
wrongdoing in execution of a trade.

     As discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company has contingent liabilities and potential loss
exposures related to discontinued operations. The Company may also be exposed
to certain liabilities and claims associated with the discontinued liquid
waste business. In connection with the sale of ERRI, the Company remains
contingently liable for certain environmental claims with a maximum exposure
of $2.2 million. A portion of these potential environmental claims is covered
by insurance with a maximum deductible of $50,000 per occurrence. The Company
believes such potential claims will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

7.       EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic and diluted per-share computations for the periods indicated were
as follows:

     Stock options outstanding of 202,649 and 50,000 at September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively, have not been included in diluted earnings per common share
because their inclusion would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

9.       STOCK OPTIONS

         In February 2000, the Board granted 482,000 options to employees of SMH
     who were employees of SMM prior to the merger with HWG. The options vest
     over three years and have an exercise price of $4.44 per share which
     represented the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of
     the grant.

         In September 2000, the Company exchanged recourse notes receivable from
     employees for the Company's common shares that were pledged to secure the
     notes. These shares are now held as treasury shares. Each employee was
     issued options in an amount equal to the pledged shares that were
     repurchased. A total of 152,649 options were granted which are fully vested
     and have an exercise price of $5.13, which was the closing price of the
     Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

11.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On October 2, 2000, the Company acquired Cummer/Moyers ("CM"), a Fort
Worth based investment manager specializing in fixed income securities. The
former owners of CM received a total of 850,000 of Pinnacle Global Group
common shares and may later earn up to an additional 150,000 common shares if
the acquired operations meet or exceed specified performance levels. The
shares were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. As part of the acquisition, each of the
former shareholders of CM agreed not to sell or transfer the common shares
received in the acquisition until after October 2, 2001. The Company also
granted "piggyback" registration rights to the former CM shareholders to
include these common shares in our future registered offerings that are filed
after the one-year lockup period expires. The value of the consideration paid
was approximately $5 million.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and their related notes thereto.

GENERAL

     We provide diversified financial services through our subsidiaries,
including institutional and retail brokerage, investment banking, merchant
banking, trust related services and investment management. All of these
activities are highly competitive and are sensitive to many factors outside
our control, including those factors listed under "Factors Affecting
Forward-Looking Statements."

     We closely monitor our operating environment to enable us to respond
promptly to market cycles. In addition, we seek to lessen earnings volatility
by controlling expenses, increasing fee-based business and developing new
revenue sources. Nonetheless, operating results of any individual period
should not be considered representative of future performance.

     On January 29, 1999, we completed the combination of Harris Webb &
Garrison, Inc. ("HWG"), Pinnacle Management & Trust Company ("PMT") and
Spires Financial, L.P. ("Spires"). In the combination, 3,562,500 of our
common shares were issued to the former owners of the financial services
firms. The combination was accounted for as separate purchases of each of the
three financial services firms. The following discussion of our results of
operations includes the operations of HWG, PMT and Spires from the date of
combination, January 29, 1999.

     On January 31, 2000, we completed the merger of HWG with Sanders Morris
Mundy Inc. ("SMM"). SMM survived the merger, was renamed Sanders Morris
Harris Inc. ("SMH") and became our wholly owned subsidiary. In the merger, we
issued 7,125,220 of our common shares to the former shareholders of SMM. The
following discussion of our results of operations during the period ended
September 30, 2000 includes the operations of SMH from the date of the
merger, January 31, 2000.

     On June 30, 2000, we completed the merger of Blackford Securities
Corporation ("Blackford") into SMH. In the merger, we issued 1 million of our
common shares and paid $5.5 million in cash to the former shareholders of
Blackford. The following discussion of our results of operations during the
period ended September 30, 2000 includes the operations of Blackford from the
date of acquisition, June 30, 2000.

     In June 2000, we discontinued the operations of Spires, a regional
brokerage service firm whose activities primarily include the trading of
mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, the operations of Spires for all
prior periods since its acquisition in January 1999 have been reclassified to
discontinued operations.

     On October 2, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Cummer/Moyers ("CM"), a Fort Worth based investment manager specializing in
fixed-income securities, in exchange for a total of 850,000 of our common
shares and up to an additional 150,000 common shares if the acquired
operations meet or exceed specified performance levels. The following
discussion of our results of operations does not include any operations of
CM. Accordingly, the following discussion of our operating results will not
be comparable to our operating results for future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Our financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2000
include the results of operations of PMT, SMH and Blackford for the entire
period. During the comparable period in 1999, our financial statements do not
include any of the operating results of SMM or Blackford, which were combined
with our operations in January 2000 and June 2000, respectively. In addition,
all operations of Spires for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were
reclassified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the results of operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 are not comparable to the
results for the same period in 1999.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     Total revenues rose to $12.9 million in 2000 from $2.4 million in 1999
primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and marketing
professionals due to the mergers with SMM and Blackford. Total expenses for
the period increased to $11.7 million from $2.4 million in the previous year
principally from compensation and benefits paid to employees who joined the
Company as a result of the SMM and Blackford mergers. Income from continuing
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$634,000 in 2000 from a loss of $94,000 in 1999. Basic and diluted
income(loss) per share from continuing operations was $0.04 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to ($0.01) for the same period in
1999.

     Commissions revenue increased to $5.6 million in 2000 from $1.1 million
in 1999 due primarily to additional retail and institutional brokerage
operations associated with the mergers with SMM and Blackford. Principal
transactions revenue totaled $607,000 in 2000 primarily attributable to an
increase in the value of not readily marketable investments. No principal
transactions revenues were recorded during 1999. Investment banking revenue
from advisory services and private security offerings rose to $4.0 million in
2000 from $264,000 in 1999 mainly due to increased transaction fees earned at
SMH. Fiduciary, custodial and advisory fees revenue increased to $1.4 million
in 2000 compared to $780,000 in 1999 resulting principally from an increase
in the number of fee based accounts and an increase in the market value of
assets under management at PMT as well as advisory fees received from SMH's
investments in limited partnerships. Interest and dividend income rose to
$615,000 in 2000 from $234,000 in the same period last year and was derived
primarily from interest earned on investments at SMH.

     In the three months ended September 30, 2000, employee compensation and
benefits, which includes commissions paid to retail and institutional brokers
and investment bankers at SMH, increased to $7.4 million from $1.6 million in
the same period last year primarily due to the increased number of employees
following the mergers with SMM and Blackford. Floor brokerage, exchange and
clearance fees increased to $714,000 in 2000 from $129,000 in 1999, mainly
due to the additional brokerage operations at SMH. Communication and data
processing costs, primarily related to costs at SMH and upgrades in
technology and services, including quotes and market data services, increased
to $802,000 in 2000 from $106,000 in the same period last year. Occupancy
costs increased to $774,000 in 2000 from $198,000 in 1999 primarily from the
additional rent expense for office leases at SMH. Intangible asset
amortization increased to $457,000 from $150,000 as a result of additional
goodwill recorded in the SMM and Blackford mergers. Other general and
administrative expenses increased to $1.5 million from $234,000 mainly due to
the mergers with SMM and Blackford.

     The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 51% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000. Our effective tax rate exceeds the federal
statutory income tax rate primarily as a result of nondeductible goodwill
amortization and state income taxes.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999

     Our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
include the results of operations of TEI, HWG, and PMT for the entire period.
The results for SMM and Blackford are included from the dates of merger,
January 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively. During the comparable
period in 1999, our financial statements reflect the operating results from
TEI, and the results from HWG and PMT from January 29, 1999 to September 30,
1999. The operations of Spires for all periods since its January 1999
acquisition date have been reclassified as discontinued. Therefore, the
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
comparable to the results for the same period in 1999.

     Total revenues increased to $32.1 million in 2000 from $6.4 million in
1999 principally due to the mergers with SMM in January 2000 and Blackford in
June 2000. Total expenses for the period were $28 million, compared to $6.9
million in the prior year due to the compensation and benefits paid to
employees who joined the Company as a result of the SMM and Blackford
mergers. Income from continuing operations increased to $2.3 million in 2000
from a loss of $441,000 during the first nine months of 1999. Basic and
diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations was $0.17 per
share in 2000, compared to ($0.07) per share for 1999.

     Commissions revenue increased to $12.4 million in 2000 from $2.6 million
in 1999. Principal transaction revenue totaled $1.9 million in 2000.
Investment banking revenue rose to $10.7 million in 2000 from $1.3

                                       15
<PAGE>

million in 1999. Interest and dividend revenue climbed to $1.7 million in
2000 from $821,000 in 1999. Other income totaled $1.6 million in 2000. The
increases in revenues from commissions, principal transactions, investment
banking, interest and dividends, and other income are primarily due to the
January 2000 merger with SMM. Fiduciary, custodial and advisory fees rose to
$3.9 million in 2000 from $1.5 million in 1999 primarily due to an increase
in the number of fee-based accounts and an increase in the market value of
assets under management at PMT as well as SMH's management and advisory fees
earned from its investments in limited partnerships.

     Employee compensation and benefits totaled $17.5 million in 2000,
compared to $4.1 million in 1999. Floor brokerage, exchange and clearance
fees rose to $1.9 million in 2000 from $344,000 in 1999. Communications and
data processing expenses increased to $1.9 million in the current year from
$259,000 in 1999. Occupancy costs totaled $1.8 million in 2000, compared to
$462,000 in the previous year. Amortization of intangible assets increased to
$1.1 million in the current year from $378,000 in the prior year. Other
general and administrative expenses rose to $3.8 million during the first
nine months of 2000 from $1.3 million in the same period last year. The
increase in expenses from 1999 to 2000 is related to the SMM merger that
closed in January 2000 and the Blackford acquisition that closed in June 2000.

     The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 49% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Our effective tax rate exceeds the federal
statutory income tax rate primarily as a result of nondeductible goodwill
amortization and state income taxes.

     Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $10.6 million in
the first nine months of 2000, compared to income of $1 million in 1999. The
loss from discontinued operations in 2000 consists of $600,000 related to the
July 2000 sale of Energy Recovery Resources, Inc. ("ERRI"); $100,000
associated with additional costs incurred to complete customer contracts
related to the 1997 sale of Engineered Systems, Inc. ("ESI"); and $9.8
million related to Spires that included an $8.2 million charge for impairment
of goodwill and a $505,000 charge for abandoned leases. Operating income at
Spires was $1.0 million during the prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We intend to satisfy a large portion of our funding needs with our own
capital resources, consisting largely of internally generated earnings and
liquid assets we held before the January 1999 combination. Cash, cash
equivalents and liquid assets, consisting of receivables from brokers-dealers
and clearing organizations, deposits with clearing brokers, securities owned,
and securities available for sale represented about 46% of our total assets
at September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000, we had approximately $25.5
million in cash and cash equivalents.

     The decrease in net assets of discontinued operations is primarily due
to losses of Spires that were recorded during the second quarter and the sale
of ERRI during the third quarter of 2000.

     At September 30, 2000, SMH, our registered broker-dealer subsidiary, was
in compliance with the net capital requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rules and had capital in excess of
the required minimum. PMT was in compliance with the Texas Department of
Banking net capital requirement and had capital in excess of the required
minimum.

     The Company is involved in litigation and routine claims from time to
time. Certain of the Company's litigation and claims are covered by insurance
with a maximum deductible of $50,000. During the third quarter of 2000, the
Company paid $62,500 to a brokerage customer to settle a claim that alleged
wrongdoing in execution of a trade.

     Management believes that cash generated from operations, existing cash
balances and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash requirements for 2000.

FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "Acts"). These forward-looking statements may relate to such
matters as anticipated financial performance, future revenues or earnings,
business prospects, projected ventures, new products, anticipated market
performance and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. To comply with
the terms of the safe harbor, the Company cautions readers that a variety of
factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond the Company's control, include, but are not limited to (1) trading
volume in the securities markets; (2) volatility of the securities markets
and interest rates; (3) changes in regulatory requirements which could affect
the demand for the Company's services or the cost of doing business; (4)
general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, especially in the
regions where the Company does business; (5) changes in the rate of inflation
and related impact on securities markets; (6) competition from existing
financial institutions and other new participants in the securities markets;
(7) legal developments affecting the litigation experience of the securities
industry; (8) successful implementation of technology solutions and (9)
demand for the Company's services. The Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

MARKET RISKS

     The following discussion relates to our market risk sensitive
instruments as of September 30, 2000, and thus, includes such instruments
held by PMT and SMH. Our portfolio of market risk sensitive instruments is
expected to change for future periods as a result of our October 2000
acquisition of CM, a Fort Worth based investment manager specializing in fixed
income securities.

PMT

     At September 30, 2000, PMT had equity securities under management with a
fair value of $619 million. PMT's fee income for the period ended September
30, 2000 would have been reduced by approximately $33,000 assuming a
hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of its equity securities under
management. PMT's fee income could also be reduced from changes in interest
rates to the extent that such changes reduce the carrying value of securities
under management.

SMH

     SMH's trading equity securities are marked to market on a daily basis.
At September 30, 2000, SMH's trading equity securities were recorded at a
fair value of $1.1 million. These trading equity securities are subject to
equity price risk. This risk would amount to $110,000 based on a potential
loss in fair value from a hypothetical 10% decrease in the market value of
such equity securities. The actual equity price risk related to the trading
equity securities may differ substantially.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are a party to various legal proceedings which are of an ordinary or
routine nature incidental to our operations. We believe we have adequately
reserved for such litigation matters and that they will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows.

                                       17
<PAGE>

    We are involved in litigation and routine claims from time to time.
Certain of our litigation and claims are covered by insurance with a maximum
deductible of $50,000. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company paid
$62,500 to a brokerage customer to settle a claim that alleged wrongdoing in
execution of a trade.

     We may be exposed to certain liabilities and claims associated with our
discontinued liquid waste business. In connection with the sale of ERRI, we
remain contingently liable for certain environmental claims with a maximum
exposure of $2.2 million. A portion of such potential claims is covered by
insurance with a maximum deductible of $50,000 per occurrence. We believe
such potential claims will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
