PINNACLE GLOBAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Through its continuing 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 its 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 merged SMH with Blackford Securities
Corporation, ("Blackford"), by exchanging 1,000,000 shares of its common
stock and $5.5 million in cash for all of the ownership interests of
Blackford. 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, we discontinued the operations of Spires.
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 June 30, 2000, results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the six months
ended June 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 10-K to
reflect the discontinuance of Spires. The statement of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and the statement of cash flows for
the six months ended June 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
Company has not determined the impact of adoption of this statement.
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 consideration consisting of
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.
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. The former owners of SMM received consideration consisting of 7,125,220
shares of the Company's common stock, 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 merged with Blackford. The former owners of
Blackford received consideration consisting of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock and $5.5 million in cash. The merger 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. 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.
The following summarized unaudited pro forma financial information
assumes the above transactions occurred on January 1, 1999:

These unaudited pro forma amounts are derived from the historical
financial information of the acquired businesses and reflect adjustments for
amortization of intangible assets and for income taxes. The unaudited pro
forma financial information does not necessarily represent results that would
have occurred if the acquisitions had taken place on the basis assumed above,
nor are they indicative of the results of future combined operations.

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, 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 would need to record additional loss
provisions on the disposition of ERRI in future periods.
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 has 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. Consequently,
the Company recorded an additional loss of $100,000 during the second quarter
of 2000. 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 increases in interest rates
and departures of certain key employees. Spires incurred net losses of $9.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 including $8.2 million
impairment of goodwill and $505,000 lease obligations. Certain assets and
liabilities of Spires, consisting of proprietary software, databases, and
property are held for sale as of June 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 June 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:

Thereafter 748
----------
Total $ 8,023
==========
</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. In 1999, the Company was served with
notice of an arbitration proceeding from a brokerage customer alleging
wrongdoing in execution of a trade. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of
$532,000. A hearing date has not been scheduled. The Company is contesting the
case vigorously, but because of the inherent unpredictability of litigation,
particularly arbitration, management is unable to determine the likelihood of
an unfavorable outcome.
As discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company has contingent liabilities and potential loss
exposures related to discontinued operations. We may also 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 or results of
operations.

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 the 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 the results of operations during the period ended June
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.
In June 2000, we discontinued the operations of Spires.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
The financial results of the Company for the three months ended June 30,
2000 include the results of operations of PMT and SMH for the entire period.
Since Blackford was acquired on June 30, 2000, Blackford's operating results
for the second quarter of 2000 are not included with those of the Company.
During the comparable period in 1999, the Company's financial statements do
not include any of the operating results of SMM, which was combined with our
operations in January 2000. Therefore, the results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 are not comparable to the results for the
same period in 1999.
Total revenues rose to $10.8 million in 2000 from $2.1 million in 1999
as a result of an increase in the number of sales and marketing professionals
at SMH as a result of the merger. Total expenses for the period increased to
$9.7 million from $2.7 million in the previous year primarily due to
compensation and benefits paid to employees who joined the Company as a
result of the SMM merger. Income from continuing operations for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $547,000 in 2000 from a loss of
$398,000 in 1999. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share from continuing
operations was $0.04 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
($0.06) for the same period in 1999.
13
<PAGE>
Commissions revenue increased to $3.7 million in 2000 from $926,000 in
1999 due primarily to additional retail and institutional brokerage
operations at SMH. Principal transactions revenue totaled $929,000 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 $3.7 million in 2000 from $480,000 in 1999, primarily due
to increased transaction fees earned at SMH. Fiduciary, custodial and
advisory fees revenue increased to $1.4 million in 2000 compared to $443,000
in 1999 resulting mainly 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 $564,000 in 2000 from $213,000 in the
same period last year and was derived primarily from interest earned on
investments at SMH.
In the three months ended June 30, 2000, employee compensation and
benefits, which includes commissions paid to retail and institutional brokers
and investment bankers at SMH, increased to $6.3 million from $1.6 million in
the same period last year primarily due to the increased number of employees
following the merger with SMM. Floor brokerage, exchange and clearance fees
increased to $604,000 in 2000 from $131,000 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 $626,000 in
2000 from $89,000 in the same period last year. Occupancy costs increased to
$601,000 in 2000 from $185,000 in 1999 primarily from the additional rent
expense for office leases at SMH. Intangible asset amortization increased to
$368,000 from $137,000 as a result of additional goodwill in connection with
the SMH merger. Other general and administrative expenses increased to $1.2
million from $556,000 mainly due to the merger with SMH.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 54% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. Nondeductible goodwill amortization and state
income taxes are the primary reasons for the rate being in excess of the
federal statutory rate.
During the second quarter of 2000, the Board of Directors elected to
discontinue the operations of Spires. Certain assets and liabilities of Spires
are expected to be sold or liquidated.
Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $10.5 million in
2000 compared to income of $474,000 in 1999. The loss from discontinued
operations in 2000 consists of $600,000 related to the sale of Energy
Recovery Resources, Inc. ("ERRI"); $100,000 related to a revision of our
obligation to fund the cost to complete customer contracts in connection with
the December 1997 sale of Engineered Systems, Inc. ("ESI"); and $9.8 million
related to Spires which included an $8.2 million charge for impairment of
goodwill and $505,000 charge for abandoned leases. Operating income at
Spires was $821,000 in the same period in 1999.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
The financial results of the Company for the six months ended June 30,
2000 include the results of operations of TEI, HWG, and PMT for the entire
period. The results for SMM are included from the date of merger, January 31,
2000. During the comparable period in 1999, the Company's financial statements
reflect the operating results from TEI, and the results from HWG and PMT from
January 29, 1999 to June 30, 1999. Therefore, the results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not comparable to the results for the
same period in 1999.
Total revenues increased to $20.2 million in 2000 from $4.0 million in
1999, due to the combination with SMH in January 2000. Total expenses for the
period were $17.3 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior year due to
the compensation and benefits paid to employees who joined the Company as a
result of the SMH merger. Income from continuing operations increased to $1.7
million in 2000 from a loss of $348,000 during the first six months of 1999.
Basic and diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations was
$0.13 per share in 2000, compared to ($0.05) per share for 1999.
14
<PAGE>
Commissions revenue increased to $6.8 million in 2000 from $1.6 million
in 1999. Principal transaction revenue totaled $2.2 million in 2000.
Investment banking revenue rose to $6.7 million in 2000 from $1.1 million in
1999. Interest and dividend revenue climbed to $1 million in 2000 from
$587,000 in 1999. Other income totaled $984,000 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 combination with SMH. Fiduciary, custodial and advisory fees rose to
$2.5 million in 2000 from $758,000 in 1999, 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 and partnerships.
Employee compensation and benefits totaled $11.1 million in 2000,
compared to $2.5 million in 1999. Floor brokerage, exchange and clearance fees
rose to $1.1 million in 2000 from $215,000 in 1999. Communications and data
processing expenses increased to $1.1 million in the current year from
$153,000 in 1999. Occupancy costs totaled $1 million in 2000, compared to
$264,000 in the previous year. Amortization of intangible assets increased to
$659,000 in the current year from $228,000 in the prior year. Other general
and administrative expenses rose to $2.2 million during the first six months
of 2000 from $1.1 million in the same period last year. The increase in
expenses from 1999 to 2000 is related to the merger with SMM that closed in
January 2000.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 49% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. Nondeductible goodwill amortization and state
income taxes are the primary reasons for the rate being in excess of the
federal statutory rate.
Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $10.6 million in
the first six 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 ERRI; $100,000 associated with additional costs incurred to
complete customer contracts related to the 1997 sale of ESI; and $9.8 million
related to Spires which 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 48% of our total assets
at June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2000, we had approximately $23.4 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $5.1 million in securities available for sale.
The decrease in net assets of discontinued operations is primarily due
losses of Spires that were recorded during the second quarter.
At June 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.

<PAGE>
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. In 1999, the Company was served with
notice of an arbitration proceeding from a brokerage customer alleging
wrongdoing in execution of a trade. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of
$532,000. A hearing date has not been scheduled. The Company is contesting the
case vigorously, but because of the inherent unpredictability of litigation,
particularly arbitration, management is unable to determine the likelihood of
an unfavorable outcome.
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 June 30, 2000, and thus, includes such instruments held by PMT and SMH.
PMT
At June 30, 2000, PMT had equity securities under management with a fair
value of $525 million. PMT's fee income for the period ended June 30, 2000
would have been reduced by approximately $28,000 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
June 30, 2000, SMH's trading equity securities were recorded at a fair value
of $1.3 million. These trading equity securities are subject to equity price
risk. This risk would amount to $130,000 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.

<PAGE>
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 or results of operations.
In October 1999, a brokerage customer initiated an arbitration proceeding
against HWG alleging wrongdoing in the execution of a trade. The customer is
seeking damages of $532,000, and a hearing date has not been scheduled. We are
contesting the allegations vigorously, however, due to the uncertainty
involved in actions of this nature, we are unable to determine the likelihood
of an unfavorable outcome in the proceeding.
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 or results of operations. Until recently, we were
contingently liable for up to $600,000 for liabilities relating to services
performed by Tanknology Corporation International, Tanknology Canada, Inc.
(1988) and USTMAN Industries, Inc. prior to October 25, 1996. We had fully
reserved for that contingency and in February 2000 we paid the purchaser
$600,000 in exchange for a complete release of our remaining obligations.
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.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On January 31, 2000 in connection with the SMM merger, we issued a total
of 7,125,220 of our common shares to the former shareholders of SMM in
exchange for all of their outstanding SMM shares. As a result of the merger,
SMM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. These shares were issued
in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Regulation D.
These shares were subsequently registered for resale for the benefit of the
former SMM shareholders on a registration statement on Form S-3 which was
declared effective May 25, 2000. However, persons owning an aggregate of
approximately 80% of these shares entered into lock-up letters prohibiting
their sale of the shares until January 31, 2001. While the Sanders merger
closed in the first quarter, we inadvertently omitted to include this item 2
disclosure in our Form 10-Q for that quarter. However, the shares issued in
the Sanders merger were described under several other items of our first
quarter Form 10-Q.
On June 30, 2000 in connection with the Blackford acquisition, we issued
a total of 1,000,000 of our common shares and paid $5.5 million in cash to the
former shareholders of Blackford in exchange for all of their outstanding
Blackford shares. As a result of the acquisition, Blackford was merged into
SMH, our wholly-owned investment banking subsidiary. 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
Blackford agreed not to sell or transfer the common shares received in the
acquisition until after June 30, 2001. We also granted "piggyback"
registration rights to the former Blackford shareholders to include these
common shares in our future registered offerings that are filed after the
one-year lockup period expires.
