At CCA Global Partners, our mission is to help independent businesses and entrepreneurs

succeed and thrive. Our organization is fueled by thousands of strong local family businesses,

and today we can proudly say that our local retail network is among the strongest in the world –

viewed by our vendors and our competition as a true powerhouse.

We have reached this level due to our continued focus on increasing the efficiency and

profitability of our members’ independent businesses. Our members’ businesses have gained

market share even as other retail organizations have contracted.

CCA Global has held fast to a sound fiscal course — with a strategy grounded in innovation, local-

market competitiveness and fiscal responsibility. We have strategically deployed resources to

capture a number of corporate opportunities to grow.

As the economy slowly recovers, we will emerge from the turbulent times with no debt and a

strong balance sheet — positioned well to succeed throughout this year and beyond.

As we meet new challenges and opportunities, our focus remains steadily on ways we can help

businesses grow and succeed.

We will continue to focus on our core business strengths that have bolstered our success in

making CCA Global independent businesses stronger and smarter. Our proprietary products will

continue to help differentiate our businesses in an otherwise crowded marketplace while our

innovative marketing and operational programs keep our businesses ahead of the competition.

Our most significant challenge, and opportunity, for the upcoming year is to continue to stay on

the offensive — continually refining and improving our strategies. In the next year we will build

on the strong foundation we have established by growing our members’ local market share and

profitability. Keeping our goal of fostering excellence both corporately and within our

independent businesses top-of-mind is key to our continued success.

As CCA Global Partners moves into a new year, we look forward to every challenge, and we are

confident that the combination of innovation, a sound balance sheet, pragmatic decisions, and an

unwavering drive have placed our members into a position to succeed in any economic

environment.

FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF UNITY,STRENGTH, PERSEVERANCE AND SUCCESS

CCA Global Partners® was born out of the shared vision of its two founders — Howard Brodsky

and Alan Greenberg. Their ambitious goal was to help independently-owned retailers retain

their independence and operate profitably in competitive marketplaces.

Today, over a quarter-century later, CCA Global has grown substantially to become a major

player in each of the industries our members inhabit. The reasons for this record of success are

many but two that stand out are CCA Global’s fierce commitment to the independent spirit as

well as an undying passion for helping businesses attain their goals.

As we look to the future, we do so with a spirit of excitement and renewed optimism. We

remain proud of our history and have held steadfast to our ideals as we have evolved into a

management and marketing company that is now involved in four major industries: flooring,

lighting products, biking and nonprofit.

CCA Global’s unique business model has a proven track record of empowering thousands of

forward-thinking entrepreneurs to succeed in a marketplace with limited growth

opportunities.

COMPETITIVE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE

By providing access to innovative products, systems and services, CCA Global gives independent

businesses a competitive edge while allowing them to maintain their own identities.

The achievements of CCA Global have indeed been far-reaching, across markets and borders. In

fact, membership has grown to more than 2,700 locations, structured into 14 affiliate companies

around the globe including the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

But ultimately, the evidence of our success lies not in sheer numbers but rather in the success

that lies in each and every member.

What was once considered a small endeavor focused solely on the needs of independent

businesses has today grown into a major, industry-leading force passionately committed to

the needs and dreams of small business.

THE FLOOR TRADER STONE MOUNTAIN’S FLOORING OUTLETGCO FLOORING OUTLET

Today, more than ever, shoppers are looking for a great deal. And no flooring store concept is better

suited to meet the needs of these value-driven, time-conscious consumers than The Floor Trader® model.

Combining warehouse-like design with no-frills product presentation, The Floor Trader, along with Stone

Mountain® and GCO® stores, provides a high-speed, high-touch environment where customers have

immediate access to the best values in retail flooring today.

PROVIDING UNMATCHED VALUE AND SELECTION

The Floor Trader concept caters to value-conscious customers in unprecedented ways. It starts with a

clean and uncluttered store layout. The Floor Trader franchise store offers customers a logical, easy-to-

navigate store-within-a-store product presentation, where everything is located in clearly defined

categories. Add to that large-format samples, straightforward signage, concise point-of-purchase product

information and knowledgeable sales professionals, and you have the foundation of a unique and

expeditious shopping experience.

OFFERING MUCH MORE FOR MUCH LESS

Huge selection figures prominently into The Floor Trader formula. To begin with, The Floor Trader stores

deliver the best proprietary brand assortment in both soft and hard surfaces. The Floor Trader stores offer

CCA brands such as Tigressá and Resista carpets, but also carry exclusive brands such as Dyna-Clic

laminate, Ciara hardwood, Landmark hardwood, NextWood, and Serafino tile. Then there’s the Factory

Direct™ sampling program, which adds thousands of carpet, ceramic, laminate, wood and resilient

products — all at attractive prices.

CHARGING AHEAD WITH CONVERSIONS

The conversion of Stone Mountain and GCO stores to The Floor Trader franchise brand and business

model continues at a steady pace. The Floor Trader model has improved the product assortment mix by

featuring an equal number of soft and hard surface products. Without compromising total soft surface

sales, this model has increased overall hard surface sales over the outlet model.

The “Jake” Floor Trader advertising campaign, launched in 2010, continues to significantly reduce the cost

of generating new in-store traffic. It has proven to be a versatile campaign that allows for a myriad of

promotional offers during the year. And moving forward, Floor Trader has been testing multiple

merchandising and promotional activities to keep the momentum going. These will be rolled out

throughout the year.

DIVISION PROFILE

INTERNATIONAL DESIGN GUILD

The luxury consumer is, in some ways, different from the more mainstream consumer. Quality, style and value

are all important considerations of a purchase and, as such, this market segment can be particularly demanding.

The International Design Guild® is expertly positioned to meet the demands of this consumer, and of the

showrooms that service them.

The Guild is an established and respected organization offering its members exclusive products, collective

buying power, robust operational tools, and state of the art marketing services. They are the only luxury flooring

alliance in the country, and The Guild offers its members the finest flooring products available in the market.

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY

Guild members offer to their clients a collection of the world’s finest flooring products including the acclaimed

Louis A. Dabbieri® Collection — a line of carpet, hardwood, and area rugs exclusively available in Guild

showrooms. In addition to refined product presentation, our members offer their clients expert design services

and a superior level of skilled installation.

EXPANSION OF THE OFFERING

During what have been very challenging economic times, Guild members have maintained their showroom

integrity and commitment to their brand. New products have been added to the offering, including Just Shorn®,

New Zealand wool rugs and carpet.

Members of The Guild are resolute in leveraging the Dabbieri name to market hardwood, carpet and area rugs to

attract a new client base. The Guild will help drive more traffic to member showrooms while also working to

maximize savings for its members. It will bring high touch to high tech, introducing new and exciting ways to

support and stimulate sales via innovative technology and the Internet.

ONE-TO-ONE MARKETING

Success in the luxury market is highly dependent on the interior design community. The Guild provides

marketing tools — from social media and email to special event planning — that targets the needs of interior

design trade professionals.

Because the interior design professionals are so integral to the luxury market, the Guild offers designer

membership to trade professionals to attract and engage individual Interior Designers with Guild showrooms.

This program is designed to increase sales and repeat business in member showrooms while cultivating loyalty.

In 2012, the designer program was enhanced to be more engaging with a new web based platform where

designers can find resources, business tools and opportunities for inspiration. Designer relationships have been

key in the Guild’s success. In fact, member sales have continued to be strong, confirming The Guild’s ability to

attract and retain high-profile customers as well as the value of this program.

CONTINUED COMMITMENT

DIVISION PROFILE

FEI GROUP

FEI Group is a major presence in the single and multi-family construction industries with three leading

businesses: Home Solutions by FloorExpo®, MultiFamily Solutions by FloorExpo and KBx, America’s Cabinet

Experts.

Today, members of FEI Group’s Home Solutions® division are, on an aggregate basis, the top providers of

flooring for single-family home builders in the nation’s top 50 markets. Similarly, members of FEI Group’s

MultiFamily Solutions® division serve a rapidly growing number of real estate investment trusts (REITs),

apartment owners and property managers in more than 70 key multi-family markets nationwide. But

more than a mere presence, FEI Group is a relentless force with the momentum and plan of action to

deliver even greater successes for its members in the future.

BUILDING A FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT FLOORING, CABINET AND COUNTERTOP GROWTH

Independence is the cornerstone of America’s power. FEI Group, too, is powered by independence —

leading flooring, cabinet and countertop contractors who know how to leverage their FEI Group

association while retaining their operational autonomy and individual identities.

FEI Group is about maximizing profitability for members through timely strategic action that includes

product power buys and national agreements with property management companies. Members benefit

from networking opportunities with their peers, sharing best practices and experiences that ultimately

result in higher profits.

Cooperative members have access to FEI Group’s world-class marketing services, even getting individual

help with local strategies whenever necessary. Advanced training and technology tools, targeted

merchandising initiatives, and national business programs enable members to gain the acumen to further

separate themselves.

MAKING STRATEGIC STRIDES

While the market may have softened, the strategic mindset at FEI Group has not. Launched in 2008, KBx,

the cabinet and countertop division, is already the largest association of cabinet dealers in the country. By

incorporating a cabinet offering into its business mix, FEI Group gains a more comprehensive product

offering, something more and more customers are asking for today.

Additionally, the inking of several new national contracts with apartment management companies has

allowed the MultiFamily Solutions division to post double-digit growth.

PREPARED FOR EVEN GREATER SUCCESS

With a firm and distinguished member presence in every major market, FEI Group is well prepared to

widen its competitive lead by assisting members in becoming more operationally efficient and continuing

to offer marketing programs aimed at keeping members top of mind.

FEI Group will continue to demonstrate that it truly values and appreciates its members and will work hard

to ensure their success.

DIVISION PROFILE

LIGHTING ONE

Lighting One® is the largest buying cooperative of lighting specialty retailers in the United States. It

became so by creating a unique brand comprising more than 2,000 products — many of which are

exclusive to Lighting One — and by leveraging the buying power of its 135 member stores.

Today, Lighting One member showrooms, catering to both the commercial and retail trades, collectively

sell roughly $450-million annually of high-quality merchandise. Additionally, new strategies are in place to

ensure that Lighting One continues to outpace industry service and growth standards.

LIGHTING ONE MEMBERS PROFIT FROM THE SAVINGS

Lighting One membership continues to grow even while the lighting industry struggles. And purchases

through the cooperative are increasing. The reason is clear. Lighting One members save money. This

makes them more successful and profitable. Lighting One members earn rebates generated by making

everyday purchases from participating vendors, as well as access to exclusive promotional events

negotiated with key vendors.

Lighting One works with some of the best known manufacturers in the world including Kichler, Quoizel,

Phillips, Progress and Satco. The products offered range from lamps to chandeliers to wall sconces and

everything in between. These well known brands permit Lighting One members to offer their customers

quality products with real value. Even freight costs are negotiated with vendors to be 30 percent to 50

percent less than standard supplier rates.

ADDITIONAL MEMBER BENEFITS ALSO ENHANCE MEMBER SUCCESS AND PROFITABILITY

Lighting One also provides its members with other services and operational efficiencies that cannot be

achieved by an individual store. These range from participation in national green initiatives, savings on

payment processing, web marketing and staff training.

• Part of the Green Select initiative to help promote environmental awareness

• An Energy Star® participant

• An Hispanic marketing guidebook to help members market to this emerging segment of

customers

• Online training modules for a Customer-Centered Selling System

• Access to a professionally-designed electronic catalog featuring all Lighting One branded

products

• Consumer and trade professional financing at special rates

• National Programs help members save on payment processing, shipping, office supplies,

telephone service and many other business expenses

CHARGING AHEAD AT LIGHT SPEED

Lighting One will not rest. With expansion into Canada and new membership in the United States,

Lighting One will provide even greater buying power to its members. In addition to growing its

membership, Lighting One continues to improve and expand its roster of participating vendors. And

weekly communication with the membership allows them to stay a step ahead of competitors. In

summary, Lighting One’s goal is to grow its position in the industry and continue to help members

succeed.

DIVISION PROFILE

THE BIKE COOPERATIVE

Bicycling is a $5 billion business in the United States. And as more and more people make the leap from

health consciousness to healthy action, the number of cycling devotees grows.

Industry dynamics make it difficult for independent bike retailers to be profitable. The good news is that

The Bike Cooperative® (TBC) levels the playing field for progressive retailers by leveraging economies of

scale with a broad range of service providers.

With TBC behind them, specialty retailers have access to the most innovative cost-saving, marketing and

training programs in the industry — everything they need to run their businesses smarter and easier.

As a result, The Bike Cooperative’s more than 300 independent member stores enhance productivity, seize

opportunities, improve profitability and reach their goals.

SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR SPECIALTY STORES

TBC member retailers enjoy industry-best savings on a broad array of operational needs such as reduced

rates on credit card processing and an industry leading consumer finance program. Members reap the

considerable benefits of TBC partnerships to offer their customers products and services at a level that

their competitors cannot. TBC members receive extra rebate dollars on products purchased through more

than 40 preferred suppliers.

TBC offers a broad range of marketing programs to help retailers build their own unique brands in a

crowded marketplace, including options for national promotions, direct mail, email and social media.

Members use TBC’s Ride Club customer loyalty program to send out customer communications and

rewards uniquely configured for their individual stores. And through the co-op’s ecommerce site,

BikeStoreGuys.com, TBC members can earn incremental dollars that otherwise would have gone to

competing internet-only merchants.

TBC is also helping retailers to increase their margins and profit through the development of private label

parts, accessories and bikes. By working directly with partner suppliers, the co-op can deliver high quality

cycling products to member retailers at a lower cost of goods.

Powerful training programs deliver practical and profitable results, enabling members to raise sales

revenue through better-trained sales staff. Managers and owners profit from direct access to TBC’s store-

management experts.

MULTIPLE INITIATIVES TO BOLSTER GROWTH

The Bike Cooperative’s plans in the coming year include the following:

• Increase exposure and sales through BikeStoreGuys.com

• Add more industry-leading suppliers to the TBC family of strategic vendor partners

• Grow purchase volume through partnerships with preferred suppliers

• Continue to add smart and progressive retailers to its membership

CCA FOR SOCIAL GOOD

Nonprofit leaders are passionate about their missions. However, they sometimes lack the resources to

focus on the business side of their organizations. Alone, they may not have the scale to negotiate

substantial savings on products and services they need.

CCA For Social Good™ continues CCA Global's solid history and track record of helping independent

organizations work together and maintain their independence. The initiative draws on CCA’s existing

infrastructure, helps organizations achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness, and seeks to address the

biggest issue facing small nonprofits — scale.

CCA For Social Good currently offers two web-accessible platforms — a platform for use by any nonprofit,

NonprofitSharedResources.com, and a platform geared specifically toward early childhood education or

child care programs, ECESharedResources.com. Thousands of organizations in seven states are now using

these platforms.

THE NONPROFIT BUSINESS TOOLKIT: A COMBINED EFFORT FOR GREATER SAVINGS

Members of CCA For Social Good can take advantage of powerful proprietary tools, products and services

in integrated password-protected websites that are available to them 24/7.

• COST SAVINGS. Alone, nonprofits often lack the scale to negotiate real savings. Nonprofits

receive substantial discounts on products and services such as office supplies, facilities

management materials, credit card processing and more.

• HUMAN RESOURCES. HR mistakes can be costly and time-consuming. Members gain the

guidance they need to manage HR functions simply, efficiently and affordably.

• BOARD. Best practices, policies, roles, responsibilities, job descriptions, strategies and guides

help nonprofits build strong boards to lead their organizations.

• FINANCE. Processes, policies and forms help nonprofits guard the funds entrusted to them.

• OPERATIONS. Quick access to federal regulation, guidance and resources helps nonprofits

remain in compliance and maintain a safe and healthy workplace.

• MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS. Step-by-step guides for developing brand standards,

an elevator speech and press release, tips on creating an annual report, and email marketing

and templates help nonprofits create professional looking materials and expand outreach.

• TRAINING. Engaging, interactive training programs are available 24/7.

• RESOURCES. A plethora of tools, guides, articles and advice from experts across the U.S.

provide the latest news and best practices among nonprofits.

• COMMUNITY. Online networking tools enable professionals to share knowledge, insight and

real world experience.

CCA For Social Good developed these powerful tools and programs with the guidance of nonprofit

experts. In addition to real savings, they offer nonprofits something even more valuable — time put back

in their leaders’ days so they can focus where it counts the most — on their missions.

ALWAYS REMEMBERINGTO GIVE BACK

Good, responsible business is not only about

providing value and quality. It is also about

acknowledging the important role local businesses

play in the communities in which we do business.

CCA Global Partners® acknowledges this role and

makes it a priority to give back to the communities

that are the root of our success.

Through CCA Global’s unique business model, we

have the strength to make a positive impact on

important causes. CCA also supports and

encourages our franchisees, members and licensees

to follow CCA’s lead and support our communities

on a local level.

The Alan Greenberg Charity Golf Tournament

honors CCA’s late co-founder. Since 2003, this

fundraising tradition has raised over $1.2-million for

the Floor Covering Industry Foundation, which

supports those in the floor covering industry who

are in need of assistance due to unforeseen changes

in their lives. Clearly, at CCA Global, giving back in a

significant way is par for the course.

CCA Global is proud to support industry partners,

and deeply committed to supporting causes that

are important to our customers as well as associates.

Breast cancer awareness and research is high on our

list, and CCA has raised more than $825,000 for

those causes in the United States and Canada over

the past seven years. Animals are also near and dear

to CCA Global’s hearts. They have helped animals —

wild and domestic — through partnerships with

organizations such as the Save The Tiger Fund,

American Humane Association, the Canadian

Federation of Humane Societies, the Delta Society

and through the Pets for Patriots program.

CCA Global franchisees, members and licensees

have continued the spirit of giving back with many

local initiatives. Our franchisees, members, licensees,

and employees support children’s sports teams,

local animal shelters, schools and community

organizations through product donations, volunteer

time and financial donations.

From the bottom up and across the board, CCA

Global, along with its franchisees, members and

licensees, continues to demonstrate that there’s no

place like home and no place more deserving of a

helping hand.

SPREADINGTHE WORDABOUT THEBENEFITS OFCOOPERATION

CCA Global Partners® has built its success based on

the core values of cooperative businesses.

Cooperative businesses have a very positive social

and economic impact on local communities.

Business owners that are members of cooperatives

maintain control over how their business is run.

Their interests lie in the communities they do

business in — not in corporate offices far away.

CCA Global Partners has a long history of

supporting local business through our cooperative

model with programs to help independent

businesses succeed. Now we feel we can further

support members of our cooperatives as well as

other cooperatives nationwide by helping to

educate consumers on what cooperative business

means.

Using the 2012 International Year of the

Cooperative as a springboard, CCA launched a

movement called Choose A Co-op. The movement

utilizes online and social media to spread the

message to the public about the benefits of

supporting cooperative businesses.

Choose A Co-op is generating excitement

throughout the cooperative business community

and beyond, and CCA will continue to support

efforts to educate consumers on cooperatives

thereby helping to create stronger local business

communities nationwide.

ENCOURAGING ANDHELPING OTHERS TOFOLLOW IN OURECOLOGICALFOOTPRINTS

CCA Global Partners understands our worldwide

impact on the environment, which is why we have

wholeheartedly embraced the “green movement”

through the Green Select program. The Green

Select program was designed to show members,

franchisees and licensees the importance of

championing green products, and to demonstrate

how easy it is to make a difference by “going

green” in everyday operations — reducing waste,

conserving resources and increasing recycling.

For a product to earn classification as Green Select,

there are several criteria that must be met. It must

be recyclable, contain a minimum percentage of

recycled material, or be made from a natural,

sustainable, quickly renewable resource. The

definitions, criteria and green products will be

constantly evaluated and updated based on

industry changes and technological advances. CCA

is steadfast in our mission: to better our

environment by our own actions and through our

relationships with our member community,

suppliers and employees.

CCA is following through on this commitment by

educating employees and members on the

importance of implementing Green Select

standards. We also strongly encourage

partnerships and employee volunteerism with

environmentally-focused nonprofit organizations.

As part of this deep obligation to “greening” our

industry and our world, CCA Global pledges to:

• Seek ways to expand our exclusive line

of Green Select products.

• Model a commitment to examine all

our business and procurement

practices and to acquire and use

resources as respectfully and

thoughtfully as possible.

• Guide our member community to help

them operate their businesses in an

environmentally-responsible manner.

• Partner with our suppliers to help

them continue to provide the highest

quality and value, with enhanced

environmental responsibility.

• Mentor our employees and member

community, and provide educational

resources to help them make

environmentally-conscious decisions.
