Working with Westlake has been an outstanding experience. Through their commitment to VidaCare, we gained a relationship which has resulted in significant funding from individuals through two rounds of capital, found a highly respected institutional funding partner focused on our industry, and strengthened our board through involvement by one of their partners.

It was a pleasure to work with Mike McAllister and Alex Klingelberger during the sale of Atwater Entertainment Associates' (AEA) ownership in MotorCity Casino. This was a complex transaction involving over one hundred eight (108) direct and indirect investors in AEA; five private companies; two public companies; and several other large private investors in MotorCity Casino. Through the course of the transaction, I felt that AEA received the highest caliber of advice, negotiating ability, and understanding of the financial, political, and legal dynamics of our position. The advisory expertise of their firm resulted in a sale of AEA's interest in the MotorCity Casino for $106.4 million, representing over 20 times our original investment in the venture.

Westlake Securities' unique combination of entrepreneurial company focus and investment banking experience was an invaluable help in our Series A capital raising efforts. They began by drawing on the industry expertise of one of their Advisory Directors, Jack Murphy, who is a recognized leader in the medical malpractice insurance industry, and who subsequently became one of the key executives in our company as the President of our insurance subsidiary, Advocate, MD Insurance of the Southwest. Their coaching and support has made an important impact on our business and financial strategy.
