CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

February 17, 2003

I am very pleased to announce that PL Buyer Magazine has again honored us with the 2002 Category Colonel Award!  Cliffstar Corporation was one of only 44 companies in the entire private label industry to be honored by PL Buyer.

This prestigious award is especially meaningful to our organization, since our retail customers voted us “best of class” within our respective product category.  

It is truly an honor to accept this award, particularly because we were also honored as a 2001 Category Colonel, and now hope to repeat as a Category Colonel again in 2003!    

My congratulations to the entire “Cliffstar Team” for your dedication to our Company’s MISSION of CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
