employing innovative marketing techniques and developing
strategic partnerships with manufacturers and distributors,
the company maintains an uncompromising commitment to

Investment Highlights
- The Company is a retailer of products and programs for
the diet and nutrition industry. Given the growing concern
in the US about health and weight issues, the Company is
likely poised for healthy growth in the years ahead.
According to Nutrition Business Journal, the global
nutrition market grew from $172 billion in 2003 to $226
billion in 2006.

increasing as a result of growing obesity concerns.
- Planet Nutrition has recently entered into an agreement
with Peak Fitness Center, which operates fitness centers at
37 locations in North and South Carolina, to sell its
products at stores within these centers. Through this
venture, the Company expects to be generating approximately
$10 million in annualized revenue by 2009, assuming stores
in 40 Peak Fitness centers and generate 30-35% gross margins
on in-store sales.
- Planet Nutrition is entering a recession-proof boom
market. Currently, Americans spend $50 billion a year on
weight loss and nutritional products.
- The diet and nutrition products industry is experiencing
a powerful trend toward consolidation and financial growth.
Fueled by extraordinary demand, the booming retail
supplement market exceeds $17 billion in annual sales and is
estimated to grow at a rate of 10-12 percent annually.
- Based upon initial results from the two existing retail
locations, Planet Nutrition estimates average first year of
operation sales to be $250,0000 per new store.
- Gross sales based upon the opening of 40 stores is
estimated to be $10,000,000. Profits are estimated to be

Diet & Nutrition Market
The global nutrition industry has grown exponentially over
the last few years to reach $226.1 billion in 2006. This
industry consists of various categories of nutrition products
such as functional food, dietary supplements (vitamins,
minerals, herbs/botanicals, sports nutrition, meal replacement
and specialty), natural/organic food, and personal care and
household products.
The primary markets for nutraceuticals and functional foods
are the industrialized countries or regions with greater
levels of economic development such as the US, Sweden,
Switzerland and the UK.
Increasing health and obesity concerns drive demand for:
Nutritional food: Rising health and obesity concerns are
leading to a noticeable change in eating habits. Tasty but
fattening foods and beverages are being gradually replaced by
healthier substitutes. Awareness of the health risks linked to
obesity are rising and people are becoming more conscious of
unhealthy diets resulting from busy lifestyle and intake of
food with low nutritional value. Better taste, quality and
guaranteed availability of more nutritious foods in
convenience stores will help drive growth for the nutritional
products industry.
Weight loss programs: The US has the highest percentage of
overweight and severely overweight citizens, with 65% of the
adult population (people aged 18 years and above) falling into
one of these two categories. Due to the growing threat of
obesity, demand remains strong for all forms of weight loss
programs, fueling a $55 billion US industry. The US market for
weight loss programs is expected to grow 6% annually to reach
$58.7 billion in 2007 and $68.7 billion by 2010. The retail
market for weight management products was estimated at $0.93
billion for Europe and $3.93 billion for the US in 2006.
