THE PJLFI AND ITS BEGINNINGS

In pursuit of the P.J. Lhuillier Group of Companies' basic corporate value of social responsibility, Mr. Jean Henri D. Lhuillier, now President and CEO of the P.J. Lhuillier Group of Companies (PJLGC), directed the establishment of the P.J. Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (PJLFI). Incorporated under the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2000 as a non-stock, non-profit charitable organization, the PJLFI has since then served as the corporate vehicle of the PJLGC and of the family of Ambassador and Mrs. Philippe J. Lhuillier for sharing their blessings with the immediate sources thereof, namely, the community and country -- all for the greater glory of the Ultimate Source of all blessings!

The first major project of the PJLFI is its Nationwide Scholarship Program whose primary purpose is to produce family bread-winners and contributors to the country's economy from the vast reservoir of deserving but economically handicapped youth throughout the country. Such scholarship program is intended to assist the pawnshop companies of the PJLGC in the pursuit of their social mission of serving as the major partner of the people in their war against poverty by directly making available to them the most effective weapon against poverty, namely: Education.
