prepurchase condition assessment of an industrial facility at 900 Corporate Grove
Drive in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

Corporation was considering the purchase of a 66,000 square foot industrial facility
with an attached office building. The industrial building was a one-story structure
approximately 30 feet tall consisting of a flat roof with tilt-up precast wall panels. The
