SIXTY DAYS LATER . . . FAITH WALK FEELS THE IMPACT OF DECORIZE MERGER

VISION STATEMENT
We will create the world's best "source to business" home furnishings and accents company serving both small and large retail partners. Using technology, leading edge logistics and an innovative business model, we will shatter old standards for delivery time, value, product uniqueness and selection as we strive to satisfy every customer.

(SPRINGFIELD, MO)-Two months into their recent merger, the principals of both Faith Walk and Decorize, Inc. have realized early success. The integration of the two companies has accelerated at a much quicker pace than originally planned. "In the first 60 days we have already felt the positive influence of the Decorize business model and their organization on our business," commented Mike Sandel of Faith Walk Designs.

Sandel went on to say," The process of shifting our product line to a lower pricing structure has happened quicker than we both imagined. Our customers will see the benefits of that new strategy next month at Americas' largest furniture market in High Point, North Carolina, only 75 days after our merger was consummated. In addition, we have quickly tapped into the Decorize, Inc. resources including; logistics, training, financial, and technology areas and we are already seeing improvements in our results. It is great to have a partner with resources to shoulder the load."

Jon Baker, CEO of Decorize, Inc. added, "We are delighted with the progress of Faith Walk. During the transition to the new pricing strategy, we anticipated some financially tough months, but the Faith Walk team has kept the bottom line up during these first two months. The thing that is really exciting is the new pricing strategy and on top of that, I believe that in the next few months we will be announcing that Faith Walk will ship product direct to small retailers from the Far East. This of course, is one of the key features of the Decorize, Inc. business model and a first in our industry. We will eventually integrate our third company, GuildMaster into this model. The model creates incredible cost efficiency and based on retailer feedback, they love using us as their direct sourcing arm to the Far East."

In addition, Faith Walk has merged its selling function with GuildMaster. The result is one sales leader who oversees both companies. It also affords both companies the opportunity to use a "one stop shop" approach with retailers, thus making it easier for buyers to do their jobs and again, creating cost efficiency. Sales representatives have already begun consolidating both brands.
