Every week we receive letters from our business partners. We thought you might like to read a few.

Dear Sirs –

Our new supplier evaluation is designed to provide feedback to key suppliers and foster the development of strategic partnerships. It also allows us to recognize those suppliers that have excelled in supporting our business objectives. We base our decision on the following criteria:

The criteria were:

• Cost Reduction
• Risk Management/Cost Stabilization
• Quality
• Customer Service
• Innovation
• Speed to Market

I am very pleased to tell you that our management team chose Wixon as Supplier of the Year for 2005.

We feel that you have strongly impacted each of these areas and look forward to your continued efforts to keep driving results in the future. Please convey our appreciation to everyone in Wixon that works hard in supporting our operations and product development teams. 2006 is presenting us with exciting opportunities as well as challenges; we are counting on Wixon to continue the same level of commitment and partnership in making this year a very successful one for both companies.

Regards,
