8-K - FORM 8-K - OMEGA PROTEIN CORPd8k.htm
Houston, Texas
June 22, 2010
Exhibit 99.1


2
The information presented herein may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on
reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved.
Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward looking statements
include:
(1) the Company’s ability to meet its raw material requirements through its annual menhaden
harvest, which is subject to fluctuations due to natural conditions over which the Company has no
control, such as varying fish population, fish oil yields, adverse weather conditions, oil spill impacts and
disease; (2) the impact of worldwide supply and demand relationships on prices for the Company’s
products;
(3)
Omega
Protein’s
expectations
regarding
demand
for
OmegaPure®
proving
to
be
incorrect;
and
(4)
fluctuations
in
the
Company’s
quarterly
operating
results
due
to
the
seasonality
of
the
Company’s business and its deferral of inventory sales based on worldwide prices for competing
products.
These and other factors are described in further detail in Omega Protein’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2009 Annual Report on Form 10K under the
headings, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition”
and “Risk Factors.”
Omega
Protein cautions you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date of this presentation, and Omega Protein undertakes no obligation to update this
information.  Omega Protein urges you to carefully review and consider the disclosures made in this
presentation
and
its
filings
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
that
attempt
to
advise
interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect its business.  Some of the information
presented is derived from third-party sources and, while the Company believes the data to be reliable,
the Company has made no independent investigation of these third-party sources or attempted to verify
the veracity of the third-party data in any way.
