The companies are in the same line of business and are direct competitors in a
large metropolitan area. Both have been in business approximately 10 years,
and each has had steady growth. The management of each has a different
viewpoint in many respects. Blair Company is more conservative, and as its
president said, "We avoid what we consider to be undue risk." Neither
company is publicly held. Armstrong Company has an annual audit by an
independent auditor, but Blair Company does not.
