Dr. Steven Tsengas, President and CEO, stated, "While we are disappointed that our third-quarter financial results were not as good as expected, we believe that we are well positioned to profitably grow our business. We are in the midst of one of the biggest launches of the Company's history and we have experienced some growing pains. In order to successfully launch the SmartScoop™ Self-Scooping Cat Litter Box, we took a lot of time working with our Chinese manufacturer to make sure the quality of the final product was up to our standards. In doing so, we missed sales opportunities with some of our larger customers to have the SmartScoop™ on their shelves for the fall and winter. In spite of this, the SmartScoop™ launch is going well and we are confident that we will begin to show the results of all of our hard work in the coming quarters.

"I am very confident of the team of associates we have in place to accomplish our business plan. Our other new product categories are being well received especially our ecoPure Naturals™ brand of natural pet products. We have the best portfolio of brands and products that we have ever had, which are being well received by our customers. In addition, we continue to build our retail customer base."

Dr. Tsengas concluded, "Our trailing twelve-months revenues and earnings now stand at $10,712,098 and $627,990, respectively. We are optimistic that financial results for the 2007 fourth quarter and full year will compare favorably to the same periods last year. We look forward to communicating our 2007 annual financial results, which should be released in March 2008."
