Explanation of Responses:
(1) On January 29, 1999, Pinnacle Global Group, Inc. ("PGG") became the
successor of TEI, Inc. ("TEI"; trading symbol "TANK") pursuant to a merger (the
"Merger"). The Merger and other transactions resulted in PGG becoming a parent
holding company of TEI and other entities. Pursuant to Rule 12 g-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, PGG is the successor issuer to TEI.
(2) Received in exchange for shares of TEI common stock pursuant to the Merger
with each share of TEI common stock, priced at $2.125 per share at market close
on 1/28/99, exchanged for 0.25 of a share of PGG common stock.
(3) Since the date of the reporting person's last ownership report, the
reporting person has become divorced and no longer has a reportable indirect
beneficial interest in securities indirectly beneficially owned by his ex-wife
through the Holly Waltrip Trust and the Robert L. Waltrip Trust #1.
(4) This option was assumed by PGG in the Merger at one fourth the original
number of shares and is exercisable for shares of PGG common stock at four times
the original exercise price per share. All other terms remain the same.
(5) Vested 1/4 at issue date of 12/20/94 and 1/4 on each of first three
anniversaries.
