American Pet Products
Manufacturers Association (APMA) reports that 62% or
63.4 million have pets and 42% of this group have more
than one pet. Dogs top the list with 39% of US
households owning one, and cats are a close second at
34%.
The pet industry is a major segment
of the US economy. Pets in most instances become not
only a part of the family but a way of life for a
majority of US households. Owners often have a large
emotional connection with their pets.
It is estimated that the market for
cat litter in the US was $1.7 billion in 2003, and the
market for dog treats was $1.5 billion. The
international market for these same products is at least
as large as the US market with a high concentration of
this non-US business Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan,
and South Korea.
A recent report by Euromonitor points out, cat owners
in emerging markets such as Russia continue to use non
expensive alternative products like newspaper or sand
and in rural areas it is not used at all. Rising
disposable income and increased urbanization will likely
ensure rinsing demand for cat litter. This is highly
exemplified in China which has a strong potential due to
rising disposable incomes and continued urbanization and
of course a vast cat population. It is the second
largest in the world. These factors are likely to
facilitate acceptance and thus sales growth. Cat
litter value sales have in fact increased by nearly 60%
since 1998 and have reached a level that is
comparable to sales in more developed pet products
markets.

Prior to 1990 there was little change in the cat litter
market. After the introduction of sodium bentonite a
paradigm shift occurred due to the clumping effect.
PECB may well be positioned at the forefront of the next
paradigm shift for two intriguing reasons.
First : Clay based cat
litter is building up in landfills around the world.
According to the Bureau of Waste Management, approximately 8
billion pounds of spent cat litter is dumped into U.S.
landfills every year – that's over twice the amount of
disposable diapers. Clay based litter products are not
biodegradable. Clay based litter swells to 150% of the
original size via water absorption, thereby exacerbating
landfill capacities and resources even further.
Second: Unhealthy weight
gain experienced by many pets, principally dogs that are fed
overabundant scheduled feeds. Such pets often get
significantly less exercise than required to maintain an
ideal weight and healthy condition. These pets are subject
to the same complications that people experience with
significant weight gain via fat rich diets, combined with
inadequate or little exercise, ranging from heart and lung
problems, skin and kidney diseases, to circulatory and
immune system issues.

Current estimates show that 10
million cats per year are diagnosed with Feline Lower
Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD's) by vets each year.
FLUTD's represent the number 1 insurance claim as
reported by Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. located in
Anaheim, CA.
PECB's Sickness
Indicating Cat litter is the only known non-prescription
cat litter in the market. Scoop-Lite®
has no limit to its shelf life.
Management
The PECB management team combines the
talents of seasoned management and senior sales and
marketing executives in addition to legal, accounting and
television professionals. The principals, Board Chairman,
James Stephens Sr. and Ralph J. Steckel, Founder and
President, have over 60 years of combined experience in
the pet supply and direct marketing industries. Jane
Lorenzen, Vice-President, has over 15 years of experience
in business management, operations and administration, IT
development and administration, and has served as a board
of director member and chairperson of a number of trade,
business and legislative committees and events. Management
desires to meet qualifications for listing on a major
exchange by year end 2006.

While there are approximately ten
major players serving the multi-billion dollar pet care
sector the entire sector is currently surprisingly
fragmented with all remaining participants accounting for
34.4% of the market!
THE PECB PRODUCT LINE
PECB has developed various patent
protected, trademarked, and licensed products that address the
business problems identified above. Two principle products will be
initially focused upon until a critical mass has been achieved.
Scoop-Lite®
Scoop-lite® is a patent protected biodegradable
litter product composed of naturally occurring minerals that addresses
all the key problems with traditional clay based cat litter, or other
litter products, in other words 95% of the cat litter market. Since
Scoop-Lite® is biodegradable it is flushable down a commode served by
either a septic or sewer system. It weighs 1/7 of the weight of
traditional litter thereby making transport by the buyer, typically
female, substantially easier, and transport from the factory to the
reseller much less costly. Scoop-Lite's® truly amazing features are its
ability to indicate certain diseases commonly occurring in cats.
Not only can this litter warn of possible illness, but may also indicate
how far along the illness may be by the color the litter changes to.

K-9 Fat Free Healthy Dog Treats™
K-9 is PECB's patent pending product
that meets the standards of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
and offers dog owners an effective means to provide their pets
with the only non-fat tasty treat, available in several flavors, on the
market today.
U.S. News & World Report recently reported, “The
number one health problem for dogs is obesity.”
Presently, the National Research Council of The
National Academies estimates 25% of dogs (cats also) – some 36 million
are obese!

Product Distribution

On February 28th 2005 PECB
announced the signing of a Letter Of Intent with
Bridgetech Holdings International regarding the
manufacture of PECB products in China and
the distribution of PECB products in
Asia. The terms of the proposed Joint Venture call for
PECB and Bridgetech to share the cost
savings generated by manufacturing in China in the ratio
of 66.6% to PECB and 33.4% to Bridgetech.
Profit share distribution will be on a 50-50 basis.
Subsequent press releases reflect forward revenue guidance
that is highly achievable.
Domestically, PECB has only
recently begun the commercial rollout of its products. Earlier this
year PECB executed distribution agreements with two
Texas based of pet products in the Southwest that should result in
PECB products being offered independently to the veterinarian market.
Finally a national advertising campaign to include television is
scheduled for launch in April 2005.
