Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On July 21, 2004, Piper Jaffray Companies (the “Company”) held an all-employee meeting to discuss its recently announced earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. During a question and answer period, the Company indicated that initial earnings estimates for the Company that had been established by securities analysts in January and February 2004 had been aggressive, and that based upon prospective statements the Company had made in an open-access investor conference call earlier in the day the Company expected that analysts would lower their projections to something that would “make a little more sense”.
