Note: Information for this list was obtained from Hoovers, Dunn &
Bradstreet, the Business Journal and from information provided by
the companies themselves. Companies are ranked by 2003 companywide
fiscal year end revenues. To qualify for this list, a company
must be privately held, for-profit, headquartered in the greater
San Fernando Valley area 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.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is accurate as of
press time. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and
thoroughness of the list, omissions and typographical errors
sometimes occur. Please send corrections or additions on company
letterhead to the Research Department, San Fernando Business
Journal, 21600 Oxnard St., Suite 250, Woodland Hills 91367.
