Mr. Eslick: We have had a very good year. We relocated our office to New York, and brought all of our senior executive team together here at our corporate campus, which is really the epicenter for our entire training and development program. We continue to focus on execution around our three key objectives of good solid organic revenue growth, margin expansion and successful acquisitions. We have already completed seven acquisitions since we last spoke, in total generating over 75 million in new annualized revenues for USI. Our stock has performed extremely well, and especially when you compare it with the S&P Index and our peers.
TWST: In terms of the acquisitions, what kinds of things have you been
adding to the mix?
Mr. Eslick: We have been adding a combination of property and casualty,
employee benefit and also life insurance capabilities. Most important,
what we have been adding is additional good solid leadership within the
company. We have a great group of additional associates to service our
clients and a very nice additional client list of good solid
relationships that these organizations had with their clients previously
that we are now able to provide more services and capability than they
were able to provide previously.
