Cuisine Solutions Credit Rating Upgraded to ''Recommended'' on SEAFAX; Upscale, Fully-Cooked, Frozen Food Manufacturer Gets Highest Credit Rating.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Cuisine Solutions, Inc. (AMEX:FZN) announced today that its credit rating on SEAFAX improved from limited to recommended, which is the highest credit rating that is given. Cuisine Solutions' rating improved two categories last year from Cautionary to Limited. "Cuisine Solutions is extremely excited by this rating improvement," comments CEO Stanislas Vilgrain. "Our suppliers use SEAFAX to determine our credit worthiness, which in turn determines our raw material pricing, terms, and conditions. As raw materials are the biggest costs for the company, improved purchasing terms really help the bottom line."

Cuisine Solutions has completed ten consecutive quarters of greater than 25% net sales and income growth as compared to the same quarter the prior fiscal year. "Our goal remains the same," states Cuisine Solutions' President Thomas L. Gregg. "We want to be the leader in this new category of premium, fully-cooked frozen food. We create exceptional food with ultimate convenience, and we believe that our 'Sous-Vide' technology, know-how, methods and culinary creativity is the foundation, which will continue to propel our growth." Cuisine Solutions' premium, fully cooked, frozen entrees and sauces are sold in retail stores as well as to hotels, convention centers, sporting venues, first and business class on airlines, trains, and ships, restaurant chains, the military, and more.
