Some of the statements in the exhibit attached to this report are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by these statements. You can generally identify our
forward-looking statements by the words "potential", "will", "intend", "expect"

management's beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our
management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that assumptions,
beliefs, expectations, intentions and projections about future events may and

Changes in federal, state and local regulations affecting CenterPoint

CERC to arrange future financings on acceptable terms, the timing and amount of
recovery of the true-up components or the timing and outcome of any legal
proceeding related to the true-up proceeding could cause actual results to
