Neasi-Weber International's headquarters are only a few blocks from the epicenter of the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake. The damage to our facility was so severe that we were forced to relocate our offices for a period of six months. We incurred both personal property and business interruption claims as a result. We also quickly learned that our insurer had a different perspective of evaluating our loss than the reality of the occurrence. Gary, your expertise brought about a settlement that we believe was advantageous to Neasi-Weber International. We were particularly pleased that considerable time and effort was spent understanding our organization and business before action was taken on our behalf.
