Commitments to Sustainable Seafood to Benefit Neptune Industries, Inc.
Thursday November 18, 8:35 am ET
BOCA RATON, Fla.. BUSINESS WIRE. Nov. 18, 2004. Neptune Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NPNI), Boca
Raton, Florida, announced today that the growing industry movement for sustainable seafood is
expected to have a dramatic affect on future orders for its products. The top story in the October,
Seafood Business magazine, "Buyers Navigate Sustainable Seafood", sites the wave of
seafood buyers that are on the 'environmentally responsible' bandwagon. Sustainability as
it refers to seafood means "using a natural resource to meet the world's current needs,
without compromising its ability to meet the needs of future generations."
The article also states: "Market demand for sustainable, or environmentally responsible, fish
is crossing over from a niche to mainstream - and from a political movement to a corporate
ethic." The impact of this movement goes all the way to the top. "Darden Restaurants, the
world's largest casual dining restaurant company, is two years into a sustainable seafood
purchasing effort. Sysco, the nation's largest distributor, is starting to do the same for its
branded seafood line."
Sal Cherch, COO added: "Sustainability is rapidly becoming the industry buzzword used by
knowledgeable seafood purveyors, retailers, and executive chefs. The implication is that the supply
will be here today, tomorrow, and into the future. Clearly, controlled commercial production in
eco-friendly systems is paramount to sustainability, as well as meeting market demand. Neptune is
well prepared to meet the demands of sustainable seafood products."
Neptune Industries, Inc. is a diversified seafood company focused on farmed production, processing,
distribution, value-added products, and cutting edge technology for worldwide applications. The
Company is a leading producer of hybrid striped bass which it markets internationally as
"Everglades Striped Bass".
An Emerging Seafood Conglomerate in the Making?
As Americans continue to pay increased attention to health and diet, fish and seafood have rapidly
become one of the most popular food groups, with the average person eating 17 pounds of seafood
every year! The 50 billion US seafood industry has seen huge growth over the past twenty years.
Fish farming, or aquaculture, has emerged as a clear and viable solution to the problems of
increased consumer demand and untenable commercial wild fishing. Well established in Europe and
Asia, where seafood plays a larger part in diet, worldwide aquaculture is a 56 billion industry with
total production of 76 billion tons, or 28% of total seafood production.
Until recently, US aquaculture has been a small and niche market, with roughly 1 billion in annual
sales. But, with increased over-fishing, higher prices, and health concerns, aquaculture is rapidly
becoming big business, and the US government's own aquaculture policy calls for industry
expansion to 5 billion over the next several years
With this in mind, we would like to call your attention to our newest investment, Neptune
Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: NPNI). NPNI is a Florida-based seafood producer with vertically
integrated aquaculture production, processing, and distribution operations. The Company has
developed a highly successful product line of hybrid striped bass, tilapia, and redfish which it
distributes throughout the US and Caribbean.
NPNI has developed proprietary aquaculture production technologies, which it uses in its
Florida-production facility, and plans a major expansion of its business. The Company has developed
a strategic acquisition and expansion strategy to become a fully-vertically integrated provider of
seafood products to North American and international markets.
With its recent completion of a private placement offering, and entrance into the European market,
we are beginning to see this strategy unfold. Over the next two years, NPNI plans to dramatically in
crease production, pursue an acquisition strategy in the highly fragmented aquaculture industry, and
develop an international distribution chain.
A Few Reasons to Consider Adding NPNI to Your Investment Portfolio.
NPNI is implementing a major strategic expansion program to build its seafood production capacity,
and to become a fully-vertically integrated seafood production and distribution company. Neptune is
upgrading its production at its Blue Heron Aqua Farms facility, and plans to open additional
production facilities. Complimenting this, NPNI plans to introduce a full line of value-added
seafood products, begin wholesale seafood distribution, license its aquaculture production
technologies to other seafood producers, and seek acquisitions. With these strategic initiatives in
place, we believe that NPNI will benefit from improved economies of scale and could emerge as one of
the leading players in the US seafood industry.
Neptune is a player in the rapidly expanding 50 billion US seafood industry that is seeing
exponential growth as Americans turn to a healthy diet. With millions of Americans eating more
seafood than ever before, and with over fishing of natural stocks, fish farming, or aquaculture, is
becoming an integral component of the US seafood market. Seafood is already America's second
largest import- at 14 billion annually it is only behind oil in value, and in order to meet demand
producers are increasingly turning to aquaculture. A 56 billion global industry, aquaculture in the
US only has 1 billion in revenues, but national policy calls for a five-fold in crease over the next
several years. NPNI is one of the publicly traded US companies that is positioned for expansion in
the aquaculture industry!
NPNI has developed innovative production technologies which help to make its product among the
freshest and most flavorful on the market, and which will provide an additional revenue stream
through licensing and consulting to other producers. The Companys Eco-tankT floating containment
system is one of the advanced systems in the industry and utilizes solar powered feeding systems,
solid waste removal, oxygen regulation, and advanced water circulation to create an environment
conducive to healthy and rapid growth of fish stocks. NPNI intends to license this technology
throughout the industry. Neptune has also developed solar power, automatic feeding, and pressure
cleaning systems to improve the production process.
NPNI has already begun production of seafood from its Blue Heron Aqua Farms Facility and we expect
to see revenues of more than 1.5 million for FY 2004. With necessary financing provided by the
recently completed private placement offering, NPNI plans to substantially grow its operations over
the immediate term, with expansion of its production facilities, new value-added product offerings,
wholesale distribution, and strategic acquisitions.
NPNI benefits from its strong and experienced management team, Board of Directors, and senior
advisors who have are well regarded in the seafood industry and who bring a wide range of
experiences within the industry. President & CEO Ernest Papodoyianis is a well regarded marine
biologist and aquaculture executive with over 20 years experience overseeing and operating
aquaculture and fishery businesses, while COO Xavier Cherch has spent more than 45 years overseeing
the formation and financing of a number of successful private and public companies. Aided by an
experienced Board, NPNI management has developed an innovative and visionary approach to the
emerging aquaculture industry.
