3. RELEXCO STEEL CASE GOODS
MANUFACTURING PLANT EXPANSION
Relexco is a Dubai, U.A.E based company that produces lockers, storage and
other steel case goods for offices and manufacturing plants. We recently
completed a feasibility study for their plans to expand into the US market with a
distribution plant. This study included identifying demand sectors, competition and
product differentiation. The study also provided the company with details about
where to locate their plant based on areas of unmet demand availability of labor,
comparative costs of operations, import ability from Dubai and distribution
channels.

4. HARD ROCK HOTEL PANAMA
The developers of Hard Rock Hotel, Casino, Spa, Golf, Marina Resort
contacted us for studies on their project as they are approaching the final pre-
development and financing stages of their 421 acre resort complex that
includes about 320 acres of golf, 200 plus lots and casas, beach front 601 unit
hotel complex, meeting space, commercial areas, and 200 slip marina in
Panama.
Because our experience in resort properties is in-depth they selected us to
provide the necessary third party reporting.
OIL-TECH, LLC. USED LUBE OIL REFINERY
Wert-Berater, Inc. provided a feasibility study for a Oil Tech, LLC, a U.A.E., Dubai based company
seeking to replicate its success in Texas by bringing its used lube oil refinery technology to the USA.
The firm is in the process of developing the $10 Million refinery with the assistance of a USDA Loan
Guarantee through the USDA Business & Industry Program. The feasibility study was complex in
that the market analysis had to interpret not only market conditions, but pricing and breakeven
analysis in a volatile market for oil products. Refineries are unique in that when raw material prices
increase, it’s the refinery that experiences problems in profitability because end users are not
always either willing to pay the higher prices or demand decreases. Wert-Berater, Inc. are experts in
refineries of all types.
DICKEY’S BARBECUE PIT RESTURANTS
A local franchisor contacted Wert-Berater, Inc. to provide two feasibility studies for the
development of Dickey's Barbecue Pit family restaurants in Henderson and Las Vegas,
Nevada. The projects were to be financed by a commercial bank and private equity. Each of
the projects were about $2.5 million in total start-up and development from ground up. Wert-
Berater, Inc. provided the two reports for the separate locations within about 60 days and met
the developer's timeline. The studies provided the lender, investors and developers with keen
insight into their marketing area. Despite the weak market conditions in both areas, it was
determined that the demand for the Dickey's food type would be sufficient. The analysis was
sophisticated in that we developed a market analysis model that was comprehensive in
determining the taste of the locals.

5. BLUE OASIS SUPER INTENTIVE SHRIMP FARM
The first commercial super intensive shrimp farm looked to Wert-Berater, Inc. to provide the
required studies for their bank loan application and USDA Business & Industry Loan Guarantee.
The company has been in research and development for 8 years prior to the opening of their
first 500,000 lbs. plant located in North Las Vegas, Nevada USA. Wert-Berater, Inc. has also
recently provide feasibility studies for a super intensive shrimp farm in Ridgeland South Carolina
and one in Doha Qatar. Because of the lack of proven history, super intensive shrimp farms are
emerging slowly. We have learned much about this commercial use of tested technology and
understand the biological challenges that lay ahead. Blue Oasis Pure Shrimp is the evolution of
the industry and is a well supported facility. It's production represents less than 2% of the local
demand of about 60,000lbs per day in Las Vegas, Nevada.

CANOLA OIL REFINERY
AgStrong has undertaken to establish regional value added farmer participating processing facilities
producing food grade non-GMO and expeller pressed canola and sunflower oil. One of our primary
purposes is to help strengthen family farms. AgStrong helps strengthen family farms by:
+ Partner farmers can realize increased revenue through receiving dividends from a logistically
advantageous vertically integrated processing facility.
+ Providing a local and regional market for high-value crops.
+ Providing agronomic support to allow new farmers to enter into the production of canola and sunflowers
which provide a lower risk crop option.
The desire to undertake this project has been motivated by seeking to establish a system in which existing
farmers can be benefited as well as seeking to help new family farms be put in production. With the
challenges of new farmers venturing directly into grain production we established Bowersville Family
Produce (a farm incubator project). This provides a lower capital/expertise opportunity for new farmers.
Wert-Berater, Inc. provided the feasibility study for AgStrong when they were seeking a loan backed by a
USDA Loan Guarantee for their new canola oil refinery in Georgia.

7. HIGHEST & BEST USE STUDY RETAIL DEVELOPMENT
Westcor Companies of Las Vegas, Nevada looked to Wert-Berater, Inc. for a
Highest & Best Use study for a retail 2.82 AC site in Henderson, Nevada. We
provided a complete site analysis and review of what was legally permissible.
From our conclusions we forecasted local vacancy and rental rates for retail uses
and proposed to the client the best use for the site. Our forecasts were used by
the company to determine its holding position on the land
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY
Daniel Corporation of Maitland, Florida engaged us to provide a feasibility study for a two story,
private pay assisted living and memory care facility on a 5.6 acre site in Orlando, Florida. The
project was in the land acquisition phase so we had to work fast. We provided a complete study in
about 28 days that was comprehensive in terms of providing the company with a land play strategy.
We analyzed the demand populations that included the 40 to 60 year population that imports
parents to the area, existing seniors of 75+ years old and their ability to pay; service demands,
operational costs and a maximum cost for the facility so that the company could understand if the
per bed unit cost for the site was reasonable as part of their due diligence process. The land was
zoned and entitled for over 106 bed units by Orange County.
SUPER INTENSIVE SHRIMP, VERMINCULTURE AND HYDROPONICS
The managers of the Institute of Ecolonomics has used Wert-Berater, Inc. for multiple
feasibility studies including their proposed in-door super intensive shrimp farm,
verminculture and hydroponics farm in Martnsville, Indiana. The plant was proposed
as a 30,000 square foot facility in a renovated and recently remediated Brownsfield
site. The project was seeking a USDA loan guarantee from the Rural Development
program. We provided a complete feasibility study that included market research for
all three uses.

8. CRITICAL ACCESS CARE HOSPITAL
White Mountain Regional Medical Center is a small local Critical Access Hospital in
Springerville,, Arizona serving the rural communities of southeast Arizona and western
areas of New Mexico. We provided the financial feasibility study for their planned
expansion to a 25 bed capacity of over $3 million in costs. The existing facilities had in
been in place since the 1960s and the planned expansion was designed to modernize the
plant to better serve the community. The financial feasibility included a determination of
unmet demand, required financial ratios and a forecast of financial ability to repay the
USDA rural development loan.
GOLF COURSE RESIDENTIAL LAND
Textron Financial is a provider of financing for golf course related developments that include
land and golf course. We provide a study on a proposed subdivision in the troubled Lake Las
Vegas resort area to help them determine a strategy for an entitled parcel that they had
foreclosed on. Our study provided them with a short and long term plan as to how to better
position the site and to work within the bounds of the market in an area that had collapsed in
the market crash of 2008.
RENTAL APARTMENTS IN ST. GEORGE UTAH
Capsource is a private funding group that contacted Wert-Berater, Inc. to provide a complete
feasibility study on a rental condominium project a top a hill overlooking the St. George, Utah
area. We had recently completed a similar study for a smaller residential condominium
project for Metro Development who referred us. The study included an analysis of market
demand, unit rental and for-sale pricing trends, an analysis of the proposed costs, internal
rates of return and an evaluation of the investor’s risk. The project was a 241 attached
residential complex that would be held for rentals and the exit strategy was a potential sell off
one by one or as an entire leased up complex.

9. HIGHEST AND BEST USE STUDY – MEDICAL OFFICE SURPLUS LAND
Sterling American Investments, Inc. has owned an underdeveloped parcel improved with a
16,000 square foot successful medical dental office in Irvine, California. As seen in the aerial
photograph, the challenge was to use the site to its highest and best use without losing the
tenants and at the lowest cost possible. We developed a plan at the site that based on market
demand, site legal and physical constraints provided the company with an exciting solution.
We carefully evaluted the zoning, market, competition existing and envisioned, ingress and
egress and parking requirements and developed as plan that provided the owners with a
workable plan to maximize their investment.
