Future Outlook

Barring the impact from any major factors beyond its control, OurPet’s management feels that a minimum annual growth in revenues of 25 percent is achievable during the next five years. Profit improvement should accelerate even more as OurPet’s achieves consistent monthly revenues above the break-even point, volume and learning growth efficiencies are realized and newer, more profitable products enter the sales channels.

Although past growth has been “organic” or internal, OurPet’s is positioned to pursue growth though strategic acquisitions offering marketing or technology competitive advantages.  

This optimistic outlook is based on the continued healthy growth of the pet industry, the rapid growth of the company’s key customers such as PetsMart and Petco, OurPet’s aggressive development and marketing of proprietary products, the expansion within its current marketing base, penetration into new market segments and the future contributions of OurPet’s experienced, highly motivated team.

There are very limited opportunities for the individual investor to participate in the rapidly growing pet industry because most of the companies in this industry are privately held. PetsMart (retailer) (PETM), Petco (retailer) (PETC), Central Garden & Pet (pet products distributor) (CENT) and OurPet’s (OPCO) (proprietary product manufacturer/marketer) represent most of the limited investment vehicles available to the individual investor.

OurPet’s began trading in December 2001 under the symbol “OPCO” (OTC BB).
