(1) Information has been obtained from Hoovers company profiles.

(2) Information has been obtained from Dun & Bradstreet.

Note: Due to the right of privately held companies to withhold
information, the Business Journal makes no pretense of this being a
complete list of all privately held companies in the San Fernando
Valley. Unless otherwise noted, the information on this list was
provided by the companies themselves and the Business Journal takes
their word for sales and employee figures. Companies are ranked by
2002 companywide fiscal year end revenues and by 2001 fiscal year end
revenues, respectively. To qualify for this  list, a company must be
privately held, for-profit, headquartered in the San Fernando Valley,
and not a division or subsidiary of another company. Cooperatives are
included in the definition of privately held companies. Advertising
agencies, law firms and banks are not included because they do not
report revenues in a conventional manner. While every effort is made
to ensure the accuracy and the thoroughness of the list, omissions
and typographical errors sometimes occur. Please send correction or
additions on company letterhead to the Research Department, San
Fernando Valley Business Journal, 21300 Victory Blvd., Suite 205,
Woodland Hills, CA 91367. [c] 2003 San Fernando Valley Business
Journal. This list may not be reprinted in whole or in part without
prior permission from the editor. Reprints are available from
Reprint Management Services, (800) 494-9051 ext. 130.
