About POOLCORP

Under the guidance of a seasoned management team,
POOLCORP operates wholesale branches through three networks:
SCP Distributors LLC; Superior Pool Products LLC; and Horizon
Distributors Inc.


POOLCORP sells swimming pool equipment, parts and supplies and other
backyard related products to approximately 70,000 wholesale customers
around the world. The company operates over 280 sales center locations with
more
than 3,200 employees.




ENTERING NEW PRODUCTS

POOLCORP has continuously expanded its lines to include products that
complement the outdoor lifestyle, incorporating construction materials,
fencing and backyard accessories over the years. In late 2005,
POOLCORP added irrigation and landscape products to its inventory with
the acquisition of Automatic Rain Co. and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Horizon Distributors Inc. As a leading regional wholesale distributor
of irrigation and landscape products for the professional trade,
Horizon’s addition expanded our offerings and provided POOLCORP
with a solid distribution platform to the irrigation
and landscape marketplace.

In August 2006, POOLCORP increased its irrigation footprint, adding
Wickham Supply Inc. and Water Zone LP and their 14 distribution sales
centers to the POOLCORP network. In March 2008, POOLCORP further
expanded its complementary product offerings with the acquisition of
National Pool Tile Group, Inc. (NPT). As the leading wholesale distributor
of pool tile and composite pool finishes, NPT provides POOLCORP with a
significant opportunity to grow its market share of product offerings used in the
swimming pool refurbish and construction markets.

In all, we offer more than 100,000 national brand and private label products
including non-discretionary pool maintenance products, such as
chemicals and replacement parts; packaged pool kits, which include
walls, liners, bracing and other materials; whole goods,which include
cleaners, filters, heaters, pumps and lights; construction materials
used for pool installations and remodeling; irrigation and landscape
products, including a complete line of commercial and residential
irrigation products and parts; power equipment for the professional
landscape market; specialty products, which include light fixtures
and built-in barbecues; and golf irrigation and water management
products.
