Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As a result of Hurricane Katrina, our Building Products manufacturing plant in Mobile, Alabama sustained damage. Current projections are that no production will occur at the Mobile facility for two weeks. Lead times for customer orders have been extended and activities are underway to utilize the other Building Products plants to service the market. Estimates of the financial impact of the flood damage and customer service delays are not available at this time.
The property losses and business interruption costs are covered by insurance, subject to policy deductibles. Resolution of some insurance coverage may extend into 2006.
