FT. LAUDERDALE, FL — January 28, 2004 — AVAD Ohio/S.C.

In exemplifying an innovative approach to business, SCD reached top sales for Fujitsu’s premium video displays, reaffirming business standards that have established AVAD as the preeminent home entertainment and lifestyle solutions provider to electronic systems contractors nationwide.

“Being named Fujitsu’s 2003 Distributor of the Year is the result of the combined efforts of a group of dedicated individuals,” said Greg Grasso, president of AVAD Ohio/SCD. “Fujitsu’s world-class support as a consistent supplier of the highest quality plasma display devices combined with our team’s hard work led to our achievement during the year. Given the size of our territory and the economic conditions that existed in 2003, we are honored to receive this award.”

Mike Gleason, director of sales for Fujitsu General America, Inc. noted: “In 2003, AVAD had a great year with Fujitsu General America and experienced a large increase over 2002. AVAD Ohio was the shining example of this growth. They performed 28% over plan and had a 110% increase over 2002.” Gleason added, “Over the past 4 years, the relationship with the AVAD team has been an integral part of our success. Our managed distribution strategy could not have succeeded without the dedication of the AVAD Group.”
