EXHIBIT 99.1


The information presented herein may contain projections, 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.
Forward-looking
statements
will
use
words
like
“may,”
“may
not,”
“believes,”
“do
not
believe,”
“expects,”
“do
not
expect,”
“anticipate,”
“does
not
anticipate,”
and
other
similar
expressions.
Although
the
Company
believes
that
its
expectations
are
based
on
reasonable
assumptions, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be realized. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in these forward looking statements
include: (1) our ability to meet our raw material requirements through our annual menhaden harvest,
which is subject to fluctuations due to natural conditions over which we have no control, such as varying
fish population, fish oil yields, adverse weather conditions, oil spill impacts and disease; (2) the impact of
laws and regulations that may be enacted that may restrict our operations or the sale of products; (3) the
impact
of
worldwide
supply
and
demand
relationships
on
prices
for
our
products;
(4)
our
expectations
regarding demand and pricing for our products proving to be incorrect; (5) fluctuations in the Company’s
quarterly operating results due to the seasonality of our business and our deferral of inventory sales
based
on
worldwide
prices
for
competing
products;
(6)
the
effect
of
the
Deepwater
Horizon
oil
spill
on
our
business, operations and fish catch; and (7)
the business, operations, potential or prospects for our new
Cyvex subsidiary, the dietary supplement market or the human health and wellness segment generally.
