''FAVORED® Inc.
delivers high quality grain and meat products that are
certified natural, free from genetic modification and
completely traceable "from seed to plate". The company has
developed the FAVORED system to brand its products within the
growing market for natural foods, identifying its grain, seed
and meat products as all-natural, traceable, identity
preserved, full-flavor and safe to eat."
OverviewThe all natural
FAVORED® System delivers food products that carry the
assurance of being completely traceable from origin to
consumer. Its patent pending system focuses on those traits
that today's consumers desire; products free from growth
hormones and antibiotics and produced with only
non-genetically modified feed rations.

Products
FAVORED® Beef
FAVORED markets traceable beef that is fed mother's milk,
FAVORED Grain and other known sources for non-GMO feeds
without the use of hormones, antibiotics or animal protein.
Per the FAVORED protocols the cattle is handled in a
responsible, humane manner in a low-stressor environment
prohibiting the use of cattle prods or electric shock. All
animals must be provided with adequate nutrition, including
minerals and vitamins, and must be identified by ear tag or
electronic identification at all times and tracked from farm
to market. The result is a product with better flavor,
consistency, quality and health for the discriminating
consumer.
FAVORED® Grain
FAVORED delivers a lineup of culturally preferred crops with
an initial focus on corn and soybeans developed under the
banner of FAVORED Grain. In order to meet international
demand for Identity Preserved grains and oilseeds FAVORED®
is assembling growers with an understanding of identity
preservation and are equipping them with protocols that
exceed those established by AOSCA (Association of Official
Seed Certifying Agencies, (www.aosca.org).
FAVORED works with growers, grain marketers, millers, and
feeders to supply uniquely traceable grain, allowing them to
pass on the varietal advantages for the given application.
All FAVORED crops are audited by the Indiana Crop
Association, a third party agency. The Indiana Crop
Improvement Association, Inc. exists to deliver unbiased,
needed services to customers in the seed, grain, food, and
related industries. As a non-profit, self-supporting agency,
ICIA objectively carries out various seed programs including
seed certification, laboratory testing and other quality
assurance programs.
FAVORED Grain is a branded grain system that enables
growers, feeders, millers and consumers to receive enhanced
value. Growers reap the benefits of high yielding varieties
that have potentially rewarding characteristics. Feeders and
millers receive the benefit from the purity, consistency,
and varietal advantages in their supply of FAVORED Grain for
the given application. Consumers receive the comfort of
knowing that their foods are made with ingredients and feeds
that are derived from traceable, known sources which can be
tracked right back to the farm.
FAVORED® Seed
FAVORED has introduced a system to foster the research and
development of the very best seed for its grains. The
resulting high output grain follows a protocol that ensures
complete traceability from the soil to the end user. The
grains are pure, natural, traceable, and of the highest
attainable quality under today's standard and the company's
own innovative agricultural practices.
The laboratories that develop the seed to conform to
FAVORED's output requirements monitor research for the
availability of traits in the grain desired by customers.
A key to achieving buyer preferred identity preserved
grain is to start with a consistent, AOSCA inspected, high
purity seed. FAVORED Seed provides the foundation on which
FAVORED growers have the potential to build extra benefit
into their farming operation.
FAVORED carefully plants, grows and monitors the best
seed in a controlled environment where individual plants are
selected to enter the FAVORED system. Only those plants that
are identified as producing the output traits desired by the
company are then planted to create a harvest resulting in
the availability of FAVORED Grain.
Favored Inc. also has Favored® Pork and Favored® Soy. For

Market Opportunity in Natural
Products
The demand for healthy, safe, high quality food products
is increasing, creating major growth potential for companies
like FAVORED who offer unique brands that meet these high
standards.
Interest in natural and organic food products has been
fueled in part by the increasing awareness of the links
between diet and health, rising incomes, and the aging of
the 78-million strong baby boomer generation born between
1946 and 1964. The federal government's approval of rBGH in
milk, concerns over ingesting pesticides, and E. coli
outbreaks like the recent recall of spinach are also
spurring awareness, demand and adoption.
In retail channels alone sales of natural products
increased from $1.9 billion in 1980 to $25.5 billion in 2005
(Natural Foods Merchandiser's Market Overview 2006). And
growers and food producers are lining up to take advantage
of this rapidly widening market niche. For example, last
year California showed an increase of 40,000 acres, or 27%,
in organic livestock production. The number of acres
dedicated to organic vegetable production increased by 5,000
acres, or 12%, according to the California Certified Organic
Farmers, an organics trade association. "Strong demand is
creating markets here," says Jake Lewin, director of
marketing at the organization.
Large corporations have taken sizeable steps into the
organic market, although often using specialized brands.
Silk, the best-selling branded soy milk, is a product from
Dean Foods, the $10 billion behemoth that sells the most
milk in the country. Cascadian Farms, which makes organic
cereal, frozen fruits, and other products, is a brand of
cereal giant General Mills. And Kraft owns Boca Burgers.
Wal-Mart has made an aggressive move into the all-natural
arena, announcing plans to carry more than 400 organic
items. The juggernaut retailer said recently that it plans
to double its offerings of organic products, including
produce, dairy, and dry goods. CEO Lee Scott asserted in the
company's last annual general meeting: "We know that
customers at all ends of the income spectrum want organic
and natural foods."
Target Corp. announced in September that it has
introduced its own line of organic foods, countering
Wal-Mart's move to go green. Target and Wal-Mart are helping
to boost sales, consumer awareness and adoption of organic
foods while lowering prices.
Sales of organic foods grew to $12.2 billion in 2004 from
$1 billion in 1990, according to the Organic Trade Assn.
FAVORED's highly innovative and seasoned management team
has a firm commitment to building value for shareholders.
With its quality products, established reputation, rising
revenue and visionary leadership, FAVORED is uniquely and
advantageously positioned to carve out increasing market
share in the $51.4 billion natural products, $42 billion
North American corn and soybean and $79.5 billion US beef
industries.

Management Team
Drawing on proven experience in agriculture,
agribusiness, the food industry, branding, sales, finance,
health and medicine, the FAVORED team is focused on building
growth, market penetration and profitability to increase
shareholder value.
Dr. Claude Page - President
In the early 80's Dr. Page identified the need for healthier
food choices produced with safety and traceability in mind.
Dr. Page, who received his D.D.S. from the University of
Toronto in 1975, drew upon his knowledge of science and his
international connections to recruit a very specialized team
of strategic partners who were empowered to execute what
became the FAVORED system: a system of producing foods that
can be confidently eaten, knowing that they are carefully
selected, raised, and packed according to strict FAVORED
protocols.
Jeffrey Swain - Chief Executive Officer
With an arsenal of success building sustainable, specialty
meat brands, Jeff Swain has a vision for FAVORED that the
company believes will launch it into even greater national
and international recognition. After earning his MBA from
California State University in 1977, Swain worked his way to
the top of the food products world, gaining valuable
experience and skills that distinguish him as a prominent
executive in the food industry.
Early in his career, Swain established himself in the
industry as General Manager of Marketing at Foster Farms,
where he expanded production operations by 40% in four years
and successfully introduced four new product lines, while
managing a $37 million marketing budget. Swain then served
as Executive Vice President of Butterball Turkey, where he
increased profitability by 21% while establishing a record
premium over the market value of the Fresh Whole Body branch
of the company. Later, as President of Townsends, Inc.,
Swain increased the ranking of industry profitability from
the 70% level to the upper 25% rank, and he implemented a
strategy to secure financial growth of more than 10% per
year. Then, as CEO of B.C. Natural Foods, LLC, Swain
identified, evaluated, and executed eight acquisitions,
combining the first "all-natural" multi-species nationwide
meat products company with a further processed poultry
company to acquire $600 million in annual sales.
Dan Kerkhoff - Chief Strategist
Dan Kerkhoff is responsible for managing FAVORED's long term
strategy. Kerkhoff has spent his career advancing the seed
industry and its products through his understanding and
research on different levels and aspects of the seed
business, including genetics, output traits, and genetic
placement, both in the seed supplier and genetic supplier
industries, as well as with millers and international
marketing companies.
As a shareholder in Illinois Foundation Seeds, Inc.,
Kerkhoff networks and develops unique insights and
perspectives regarding genetic applications for corn and its
various properties and benefits. Kerkhoff has built an
internationally significant seed business, supplying over 20
domestic and international seed companies and is
instrumental in identifying and making connections between
emerging grain traits and the specialty needs of world
markets.
