"That was a year in which near the end we had more firms telling us they were cutting selling prices than raising. Profits looked terrible, and sales growth was anemic anemic pertaining to anemia. ." Unlike the recession of the early 1990s, declines were spread across all industries, Dunkelberg said. Most hard hit in L.A. were technology firms and staffing companies, which suffered from growth gluts and excess inventory. Among the companies with largest decreases were Alert Staffing, the African-American owned staffing company whose revenue fell 55 percent following a 27 percent increase in 2000. Alert, in a dispute with minority partner Addeco, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy bankruptcy, in law, settlement of the liabilities of a person or organization wholly or partially unable to meet financial obligations. The purposes are to distribute, through a court-appointed receiver, the bankrupt's assets equitably among creditors and, in most protection this year. ViewSonic ViewSonic is a manufacturer and provider of visual technology, specifically CRT monitors, liquid crystal displays, projectors, plasma displays, HDTV technology, and mobile products, including tablet PCs and wireless monitors. Corp. had revenues of $1 billion, down from $1.3 billion a year earlier. Businesses in the retail and tourism industries also suffered as consumers bought less and traveled little following Sept. 11. "The year before was probably the best year in history, so they were sitting there having worked like crazy and staffing up and suddenly the bottom fell out," Dunkelberg said. "They had too much inventory and too many workers." Tech and temp firms Among the hardest hit industries in L.A. were technology and staffing firms. Revenues at the eight technology firms on this year's list dropped by an average of 21 percent.

Belkin International, Inc. is a global manufacturer of computer hardware which specializes in connectivity devices. Corp., the only tech firm to report positive growth, had a difficult year. Belkin reported $460 million in revenue, up 15 percent from 2000. But the growth was slower than in 2000 and 1999, which saw 45 percent and 39.8 percent increases, respectively.

Meanwhile, staffing for many of the growing companies slowed, causing L.A.'s employment services firms to lose revenue. Besides Alert Staffing, AppleOne Employment Services saw revenue fall 7 percent, to $602 million, after jumping 28 percent to $647 million in 2000. Retail review Many of the losses among the tech firms and manufacturers originated from slower orders in the retail sector. Belkin, which sells to CompUSA CompUSA, Inc. is a retailer and reseller of consumer electronics, technology products and computer services. CompUSA serves consumer retail, small-to-medium businesses, corporate, government and education customers. and Best Buy, focused a greater percentage of its 2001 sales on original equipment manufacturers, such as Dell Computer Corp. and Compaq (Compaq Computer Corporation, Houston, TX, www.compaq.com) Compaq was the leading PC manufacturer when it was acquired by HP in 2002.

end revenues, respectively. To qualify for this list, a company must be
privately owned, for-profit, headquartered in Los Angeles County, and
not be a division or subsidiary of another company. Advertising
agencies, law firms and banks are not included on this list because
these companies 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 throughness
of the list, omissions and typographical errors sometimes occur. Please
send corrections or additions on company letterhead to the Research
