Fla-Cat will attempt to assist Fortis Enterprises with general business consulting services such as assisting the Company and Company Management with evaluating prospective acquisition candidate's business setup and operations, business management services and other business related services pertaining to insurance restoration services companies.

Stephen W. Carnes, CEO of Fortis Enterprises stated, "I believe that Florida Cat's in-depth knowledge of the insurance restoration industry will greatly assist Fortis to evaluate acquisition candidates from a 'technical' operations standpoint. The insurance restoration business is on the surface a somewhat simple to understand business, however from an operations standpoint the industry relies on sophisticated computer quotation software for those companies wishing to remain on top in the coming years. It is with Fla-Cat's assistance that Fortis Enterprises wishes to evaluate potential acquisition candidate's business set-up and operations."

Eric Lueck, Co-President Florida Catastrophe Corp. stated, "We look forward to assisting Fortis Enterprises in the evaluation of potential acquisition candidates. The insurance restoration industry is at the same time both a simple and relatively complex industry. We look forward to assisting Fortis Enterprises with its recently announced acquisition strategy in an industry that can presently be described as very segmented among smaller independent owner/operators."

Stephen W. Carnes, CEO of Fortis Enterprises stated, "I am very excited to have Fla-Cat on board as a consultant to Fortis Enterprises. I truly believe that Fla-Cat can assist Fortis in identifying key acquisition candidates, targets that have the potential to be readily assimilated for maximum growth and profit potential. I feel that Fortis is very fortunate to have Fla-Cat on board as a strategic business consultant."
