Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
The discussions in this document that are not historical facts are based upon current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. Among the facts that could cause the results to differ materially from expectations are the following: our ability to adapt to open market competition enacted by our legislators and regulators; the effects of accounting pronouncements that may be issued periodically; changes in regulations affecting TNP and TNMP's businesses; general business and economic conditions, price fluctuations in the electric power market; and other factors described from time to time in TNP's and TNMP's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange commission. TNP and TNMP wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.
