CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

It is my distinct privilege to be associated with a wonderful company like SPRINGFIELD LLC. Our goal is to create long-term relationships with our customers based on the principles of offering superior quality products at fair prices, excellent customer service and offering new products that will help differentiate the company. We strive to ensure that doing business with SPRINGFIELD is a pleasant and worth-while experience.

We believe that our talented associates are our strongest asset and urge all of our associates to achieve their full potential. We feel a strong obligation to our customers, our associates and our shareholders and we will do all we can to make sure we don't disappoint any of our constituencies.

We have recently completed a modernization program that is enabling us to stay on the leading edge of technology. We will invest and spend the money necessary to continue to be a market leader. Our product and service offering continues to expand in an effort to present our customers with options that will enhance their business. An example of this is our decision to offer our customers full garment packages by forming alliances with world-class garment manufacturers in Latin America, allowing our customers to concentrate on styling, marketing and sales.

It is vital to be an aggressive, focused company with a strategy for success. Our intention is to work jointly with our customers in an effort to bring new and innovative products and services to the market. We have the talent, expertise and culture to do so. I believe SPRINGFIELD LLC can be a wonderful partner for any company who has a need for our product mix and a desire for a strong relationship with a quality textile manufacturer.
