Company Profile 2009

Dear Friends,

Despite difficult economic times affecting all of us over the past year, Summer Infant has continued its commitment to product innovation, quality, and our customers. Once the financial impact of reduced consumer spending was understood, we quickly put in place measures to make us a leaner, stronger, more efficient, and ultimately a healthier juvenile products company. We continue to invest in our products and brands, marketing and sales efforts, distribution resources and, most importantly, customer service and support. We remain committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our ultimate consumer and continue to develop products for their Moms, Dads, and Caregivers that truly make having a new baby “the best time of your life!”

Since last year we have greatly expanded our core line of products…a promise we made last year to develop our presence beyond our current offerings and categories; while not losing sight of what got us here in the first place. We delivered on this promise with a focused and innovative line of Summer Infant products, a more robust line of Carters products, an exciting new licensing relationship with Disney and Kenneth Brown, expanded offerings in the Natures Purest brand, and the acquisition of Butterfly Living Furniture. We are now focused to drive our business in five key areas: Safety and Convenience, Nursery, Bedding, Baby Gear, and Nursery Furniture.

“The best time of your life” is a statement of how we truly feel…most of us are parents and we know that by providing fantastic products we help parents enjoy each and every moment of their new child’s life...it’s who we are. There are so many awe-inspiring moments that occur between pregnancy and birth to toddlerhood and beyond…well thought out products that alleviate worries is our way of helping out and making that experience more fulfilling and worry free. Products that help you bathe your newborn, baby proof a home, or check on that precious little bundle while they sleep peacefully in their nursery.

We have many common goals. We share a common goal with our retailers to provide that first-time mom, upon entering a storefront or website, with answers. Each new parent has questions. Together we provide the solutions. We share a common goal with our consumers in that we are concerned parents who always put baby’s safety first. We share a common goal with our investors and firmly believe that, if we simply do it right, then a positive return on our investments will follow. We share a common goal with all – to put the absolute best juvenile products on every available shelf in the store; leaving no stone unturned.

So reminiscing over the year gone by and looking forward to the one that is ahead of us, we are thankful that our choices have been good ones. That isn’t to say that we haven’t made our share of mistakes. Rather, we have been blessed with great partnerships that have given us not only the drive we need to succeed, but also the understanding and fortitude learned from any miscalculations. It has truly been teamwork all around that has ensured our staying power and provided us with the wherewithal needed to fuel our growth.

I would again like to thank all of those that have made Summer Infant such a success: our customers, our employees, our investors, our Board of Directors…most of all I thank the Families that support us by purchasing and using our products to care for their babies.

Sincerely,

Jason P. Macari
President and CEO
