In December 2007, a warehouse leased by a Kable subsidiary in Oregon, Illinois and its contents were totally destroyed by fire.

The Company was required to provide insurance for that property of certain of those customers. The Company had charges to operations that totaled $32,000 for 2011 related to fire recovery costs, principally for legal costs. As a result of insurance reimbursements received, the Company recorded a net gain of $216,000 for 2010.
