Forward-Looking Statements
Information or statements provided by Tejas from time to time at the Site or
otherwise may contain certain forward-looking statements. Statements that are
not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations,
are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may be
identified by the use of terminology such as may, will, expect,
anticipate, intend, plan, believe, estimate, goal, target,
forecast, project, continue or similar expressions and may involve
certain risks or uncertainties and are qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements provided below. These cautionary statements are being
made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 (the Act) and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the
safe harbor provisions of the Act for any such forward-looking information.
We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, as they speak only of our views as of the date the statement was
posted at this Site. We caution you that any forward-looking information
provided by us or on our behalf is not a guarantee of future performance.
Actual results may differ materially as a result of various factors, many of
which are outside of our control, including the rapidly changing business
environment and our limited administrative, operational, financial and other
resources; our dependence on third party vendors to provide critical services;
unanticipated changes in economic or political trends impacting business and
finance, particularly those resulting in downward changes in volumes and price
levels of securities transactions; customer defaults on indebtedness to us; our
potential failure to comply with various regulatory requirements or to maintain
net capital levels; and other factors discussed in our annual report on Form
10-K and other reports filed with and available from the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
We wish to caution investors that other factors in the future may prove to be
important in affecting our results of operations. New factors may emerge from
time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such
factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.
