DECORIZE POSTS RECORD BACKLOG IN EXCESS OF $9 MILLION

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (PRNewswire) - Decorize, Inc., an emerging-growth provider of direct sourcing solutions for the global home decor market, announced today that its current orders in-house have more than doubled since February of 2002 to over $9 million. The Company attributed the record backlog of orders to a strong performance by all three of the Company's brands at its recent participation at the world's largest furniture market, High Point.

Jon Baker, CEO of Decorize, said, "On the heels of receiving the Sears 'Partner in Progress' award last month, we have achieved significant sales momentum and are rapidly building recognition of our three brands, Decorize.com, Faith Walk Designs and GuildMaster. This backlog, most of which will be shipped in July through August, 2002, assures us of a great start for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, beginning July 1. This success speaks to the efforts of our associates and efficiencies of our business model, as well as the Company's overall growth potential."
