Reasons for the Merger In approving the Merger and in recommending that the Company’s shareholders approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Merger, the Company’s Board of Directors considered a number of factors. The Company considered the impact on combining the Company’s business with ACP’s business, and the potential positive results of combining the operations and technology of ACP with the operations and technology of the Company.
 
Background and Negotiations Related to the Merger The Company and ACP have been discussing the possibility of merger since late 2004. The discussions led to entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger on March 7, 2005.
 
Material Tax Consequences to the Company and its Shareholders The Merger should not result in any material tax consequences to either the Company or its shareholders.
 
Dissenters Rights If the Merger is approved by the required vote of the Company’s shareholders and is not abandoned or terminated, holders of the Company’s common stock who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who notify the Company in writing of their intent to demand payment of their shares if the Merger is consummated, may, by complying with Sections 1300 through 1312 of the California Corporations Code, be entitled to dissenters’ rights as described therein.

PROPOSAL 3 — AMENDMENT TO THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Description of the 2000 Plan, as Amended The Company proposes to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan from 100,000 shares to 350,000 shares. The purpose of the increase is to reserve an adequate number of shares of Common Stock for awards pursuant to the 2000 Plan sufficient to accommodate the retention of the current Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company and Edward Steube as President/ CEO of ACP, as a subsidiary of the Company, and in the future, other key employees, officers and directors. The number of shares available for issuance will be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the capitalization of the Company.
 
Tax Consequences For Federal Income Tax purposes, the grant to an optionee of a non-incentive option generally will not constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company. Similarly, for Federal Income Tax purposes, in general, neither the grant nor the exercise of an incentive option will constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company, assuming the incentive option qualifies as an “Incentive Stock Option” under Internal Revenue Code Section 422.
 
Vote Required to Approve The affirmative votes of the holders of the majority of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and which constitute a quorum at the meeting are required to approve the amendment to the 2000 stock option plan.

The Company intends to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about May 2, 2005, to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Solicitation
      The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to shareholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. The Company may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of Common Stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram or personal solicitation by directors, officers or other regular employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services.
Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares
      For purposes of the Annual Meeting, a quorum means a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on May 2, 2005 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on May 2, 2005, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote 2,180,368 shares of Common Stock. In determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual meeting, all shares represented in person or by proxy, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will be counted.
      Except as provided below, on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, each holder of record of Common Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held. With respect to the election of directors, shareholders may exercise cumulative voting rights, i.e., each shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may cast a total number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of such shareholder shares (on an as converted basis), and may cast such total of votes for one or more candidates in such proportions as such shareholder chooses. Unless the proxy holders are otherwise instructed, shareholders, by means of the accompanying proxy, will grant proxy holders’ discretionary authority to cumulate votes.
      All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

In particular, statements regarding expected strategic benefits, advantages and other effects of the Merger and other proposals described in this proxy statement are forward-looking statements.

PROPOSAL 1
THE MERGER
Overview
      Allergy Control Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“ACP”) is engaged in the business of developing and marketing environmental controls to reduce allergen exposure. Such environmental control products include: allergen proof pillow and mattress encasings, HEPA filter air cleaners, HEPA filter vacuum cleaners, carpet treatments and respiratory products.
      On March 7, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with ACP, whereby the Company agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to purchase substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities of ACP (the “Merger”). The Agreement is the main legal document that governs the transaction and is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit “C” with the exception of the exhibits thereto which will be provided upon request. We encourage you to read the Agreement carefully. The descriptions of the Agreement set forth below are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement including all exhibits, schedules and other documents incorporated by reference thereto.
      In the Merger, the Company will issue and deliver to the sole-shareholder of ACP approximately 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a condition to, and simultaneously with, the effective

Table of Contents

time of the Merger, the Company shall cause to be paid to Jonathan T. Dawson the sum of $1,500,000 cash in full payment of all indebtedness of ACP to Mr. Dawson, its sole-shareholder.
Reasons for the Merger
      In approving the Merger and in recommending that the Company’s shareholders approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Merger, the Company board of directors considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following factors which the Company believes includes all material factors:
  •  Information concerning the Company’s and ACP’s respective businesses, prospects, business plans, financial performance and condition, results of operations, technology and competitive positions;
 
  •  The compatibility of the Company’s business with that of ACP’s business;
 
  •  The due diligence investigation conducted by the Company’s management;
 
  •  The terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, including price and structure, which were considered by the Company board of directors to provide a fair and equitable basis for the Merger; and
 
  •  The current financial market conditions and historical stock market prices, volatility and trading information.
      In arriving at its determination that the Merger is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, the board of directors carefully considered the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the other transaction documents, as well as the potential impact of the merger on the Company. In authorizing the merger, the board of directors considered the factors set out above as well as the following factors:
  •  A stronger and more compelling portfolio of products created by the addition of ACP’s product line, including a broader range of allergen proof pillow and mattress encasings, HEPA filter air cleaners, HEPA filter vacuum cleaners, carpet treatments and respiratory products, as a result of the Merger;
 
  •  ACP’s expertise and experience in the consumer products business and technology markets on the East Coast;
 
  •  ACP’s access to distribution channels not previously utilized effectively by the Company; and
 
  •  Operational synergies expected to reduce the combined operating expenses. Although the Company’s principal executive office will remain in San Diego, California, the Company plans to consolidate operations of the Company and ACP into ACP’s operations in Ridgefield, Connecticut, under the direction of Edward J. Steube as President of the ACP subsidiary.
      The Company board of directors also considered a number of potentially negative factors, including, but not limited to:
  •  the risk that the potential benefits sought in the Merger might not be fully realized;
 
  •  the dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders;
 
  •  the potential negative effect on the Company’s stock price associated with public announcement of the proposed Merger;
 
  •  the potential negative effect on the Company’s stock price if revenue, earnings and cash flow expectations of the Company following the Merger are not met;
 
  •  the potential dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock price if revenue and earnings expectations for ACP’s business operations are not met;
 
  •  the ability to successfully manage the combined operations of the Company and ACP; and
 
  •  the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors.”
      In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger, the Company board of directors did not find it practical to, and did not quantify or otherwise attempt to, assign relative weight to the specific factors considered in reaching its conclusions. Additionally, the Company board of directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to its ultimate determination, but rather

Table of Contents

conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above. In considering the factors described above, individual members of the board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. After taking into account all of the factors set forth above, the members of the Company board of directors concluded that the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the related Merger were advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and that the Company should proceed with the Merger.
Background and Negotiations Related to the Merger
      In January and February 2004, Allergy Free, LLC (“Allergy Free,” now “Planet”) began an analysis of its competitors within the allergy control industry. Allergy Free’s business purpose in analyzing its competitors and the industry as a whole, was to determine whether there existed a potential strategic combination with another company within the industry to better optimize Allergy Free’s business plan moving forward.
      After performing the aforementioned industry analysis, Allergy Free identified ACP as a candidate company for a potential strategic combination. As such, Shauna Salzetti of Allergy Free contacted Sanford Miller, Vice President of ACP, to discuss the potential for cross promotion of products between the two companies. At this time Scott L. Glenn, the then Manager of Allergy Free contacted Ed Steube the President of ACP to introduce the idea of a potential strategic alliance between their respective companies.
      In March 2004, Mr. Glenn met with Mr. Steube at ACP’s headquarters in Ridgefield, Connecticut, to tour the ACP facilities in order to gain a greater understanding of the ACP business structure and culture and to further discussions regarding a potential strategic alliance between the companies.
      In the period between June and September 2004, Allergy Free performed various financial analyses to determine the viability of a strategic alliance with ACP and when deemed viable, the most beneficial form for the alliance.
      In January 2005, Scott L. Glenn, in the capacity of President of Planet, began discussing the terms of an alliance with Jonathan Dawson, the sole-shareholder of ACP. Thereafter, counsel for Planet and counsel for ACP began active discussions regarding preliminary terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
      In February 2005, an initial draft of the Agreement and Plan of Merger was begun.
      On January 25, 2005, at a regularly scheduled Planet Board of Directors meeting, Mr. Glenn reviewed the possible acquisition of ACP. After a lengthy discussion, it was moved, seconded and approved that the Company move forward in its discussions with ACP, for stock and cash, contingent upon shareholder approval.
      On March 7, 2005, at a regularly scheduled Planet Board of Directors meeting, Mr. Glenn reviewed the proposed acquisition agreement with ACP. The parties (ACP and Jonathan Dawson) had agreed on the general terms of $1,500,000 cash and 600,000 shares of the Company’s stock. After some discussion, the board gave its unanimous approval for Mr. Glenn to sign the acquisition agreement with ACP. Subsequent to the Board meeting, the Agreement and Plan of Merger and related documents were executed and delivered.
      On March 10, 2005, ACP and the Company issued a public announcement of the Merger.
Completion of the Merger
      The Company and ACP are working toward completing the Merger as quickly as possible. The Company and ACP intend to complete the Merger promptly after the shareholders of the Company approve the Merger at the annual shareholders meeting. The Company and ACP expect to complete the Merger in the second quarter of 2005.
      The obligations of the Company and ACP to complete the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several closing conditions, including, in addition to other customary closing conditions, the following:
  •  The Company’s shareholders and ACP’s shareholder must have approved and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the related Merger.
 
  •  No injunction or other order shall have been issued to prohibit consummation of the Merger.

Table of Contents

  •  The representations and warranties of the Company and ACP shall be true and correct as of the date of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Effective Time of the Merger.
 
  •  The Company and ACP shall have performed all obligations required to be performed under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
  •  The Company shall have retained Edward Steube as President and Chief Executive Officer of ACP, as a subsidiary of the Company.
 
  •  The Company shall have caused to be paid to Jonathan T. Dawson cash in the amount of $1,500,000 in full repayment of all obligations of ACP to Mr. Dawson.
Termination prior to completion of Merger
      The Agreement and Plan of Merger may be terminated before the Merger is completed:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF THE COMPANY
Description of the Company’s Business
General
      On November 30, 2004, the Company acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC, and is now engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation, air filters, bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. Allergy Free acquired its business on or about November 3, 2000, when it acquired substantially all of the assets and business of Allergy Free, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The business strategy is primarily based upon the marketing and selling of a complete range of branded, allergen avoidance products to its database of customers who have purchased the Allergy-Free® Electrostatic Filter. Promotion is executed primarily through direct telemarketing, supplemented with direct mail, radio, and Internet advertising. In addition, we will continue to pursue co-marketing opportunities with appropriate partners in order to increase consumer awareness and expand our customer base. We will market our products under the Allergy Free® trade name. In conjunction with these activities, the Company operates an e-commerce website for the sale of Allergy-Free® products at www.800allergy.com.
      The allergy avoidance product industry provides products and information that help people suffering from allergies or asthma to reduce the level of exposure to allergens in their environment. Market categories include: air filtration products, mold and mildew products, and products to avoid exposure to dust mites and other allergens. Market distribution channels include: direct to consumer sales, physician directed sales, the Internet, and retail. Competitors include National Allergy Supply, Mission Allergy, Allergy Control Products, Allergy Buyers Club, 3M and Sharper Image.
      The Company’s business, products, and properties are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 attached hereto as Exhibit “B.”

ACP’S BUSINESS
Description of ACP’s Business
General
      Allergy Control Products, Inc. (“ACP”) is a supplier of indoor allergen avoidance products. ACP’s core business strategy is to supply a complete range of high quality products to physician’s patients who are allergy sufferers, as well as to previous customers. Promotion is executed through (a) distribution of catalogs to physicians’ offices, for subsequent re-distribution to patients, (b) distribution of catalogs directly to previous customers and (c) selective e-commerce marketing initiatives. Customer transactions are primarily handled through ACP’s in-bound call center and its website. In addition to this core business strategy, ACP also sells selective products on a wholesale basis to domestic retailers as well as to international distributors.
      Products include ACP’s own Allergy Control® branded bedding products, which are effective barriers to the transmission of dust mite allergen and pet dander. ACP also markets other bedding products, carpet cleaning and laundry products, vacuums, air cleaners and air filters, sinus and breathing aids, respiratory products, dehumidifiers, mold prevention and house cleaning products, pet allergy products and certain allergy-related skin and hair care products.
      Market distribution channels (non-wholesale) for allergen avoidance products include: physician-directed sales, direct to consumer sales, the Internet and retail. In the physician-directed sales segment, ACP’s primary competitors are National Allergy Supply, Asthma and Allergies Technology, Allergy Solutions and Mission Allergy.
Products and Technologies
      ACP offers the following allergen barrier bedding products under its own Allergy Control® brand. All of these products are contract manufactured to ACP’s specifications for optimal quality and reliability.
  •  Encasings: ACP offers three encasing product lines, each with distinct levels of allergen barrier effectiveness, comfort, durability and price. It’s Pristine® Complete and Pristine® Relief encasings use micro-fiber fabrics. ACP’s Economy encasings use laminated fabrics.
 
  •  Blankets: ACP offers Snuggable® blankets, which are made from a top quality 300-weight Polartec® fleece, which has a high level of softness and warmth without extra weight. Allergy sufferers benefit from their use specifically because the blankets hold up exceptionally well through repeated hot water washing, which is the recommended process to eliminate allergens.
 
  •  Comforters: As with it’s Pristine® Complete encasings, ACP’s comforters are manufactured with the most advanced Pristine® encasing fabric. It delivers complete dust mite and pet allergen protection, is luxuriously soft and breathable like fine cotton linens and also includes an anti-microbial treatment. The comforters are available in both light and heavier weights.
 
  •  Pillows: ACP offers two Allergy Control®l Pristine® Deluxe pillow styles — a contour neck style and a gusseted style. As in the case of ACP’s branded comforters, allergy sufferers who use these branded pillows do not require encasings, since the product itself is manufactured with highly effective and comfortable allergen barrier fabric.

Table of Contents

      In addition to Allergy Control® branded bedding products, ACP offers a comprehensive list of other products for allergy sufferers. The following includes some of the important brand offerings per category in ACP’s current product mix:
  •  Bedding: Comforel® mattress cushions, Wamsutta® sheets and pillowcases.
 
  •  Carpets and Laundry: Allersearch®, Capture®, DustMite®, Bissell® and De-mite® branded products.
 
  •  Vacuums: A variety of Miele® vacuums, at differing price points.
 
  •  Air Cleaners: Austin Air®, Blueair®, Honeywell® and Whirlpool® brands.
 
  •  Air Filters: 3M®, Allergy Pro® and Allergy Zone® brands.
 
  •  Respiratory (Nebulizers and Compressors): Omron® and Pari® brands.
Product Registrations
      ACP does not directly manufacture any product requiring EPA or FDA registration.
Licensed Technology and Intellectual Property
      ACP does not directly license technology associated with its products. ACP does have an agreement with Precision Fabrics Group, Inc (PFG), whereby PFG exclusively provides to ACP its highest quality micro-woven fabric. This agreement was originated in 1998 and was amended in 2004, extending its term until December 31, 2008.
Research and Development
      ACP is not actively developing new products, although ACP has historically worked with various third parties to develop new bedding products and product line extensions.
Customers of ACP
      The primary customer for ACP’s products is the consumer who is an allergy sufferer. In addition, a limited number of domestic retailers purchase ACP’s products for resale to the public. A limited number of international distributors also purchase certain products for resale to various parties located within their respective countries and/or market territories.
      Physician offices are an important intermediary between ACP and the consumer. ACP receives customer orders from patients of more than 5,000 identified physicians.
Suppliers of ACP
      In addition to the already indicated branded product suppliers, ACP purchases raw materials for use in manufactured bedding products from two sources:
  •  Precision Fabrics Group (micro-woven allergen barrier fabric)
 
  •  Shawmut Mills (laminated allergen barrier fabric)
Sales and Marketing
      ACP employs staff to manage and perform marketing, sales and customer service functions. Currently, ACP actively markets through its physician and customer catalogs, as well as on the Internet.
Employees of ACP
      As of March 31, 2005, ACP employed 10 full-time and 23 part-time employees.
Properties
      The executive offices and warehouse of ACP are located in approximately 13,317 square feet of leased space at 96 Danbury Road, Ridgefield, CT 06877, subject to a lease, which terminates September 30, 2007.

Risk Factors
      ACP has experienced losses. Future profitability is anticipated, but there is no assurance that ACP will become profitable, or if it does, that it will be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
      For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, ACP had net losses of $317,933 and $764,141, respectively.
      ACP may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available. ACP’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
  •  The cost of manufacturing bedding products
 
  •  Developing new markets for manufactured products
 
  •  Competing technological and market developments
      Existing resources, combined with revenues should enable ACP to maintain its current and planned operations through December 31, 2005. However, changes in plans or other events affecting revenues or operating expenses may cause resources to be expended sooner than expected.
      The uncertainty as to ACP’s future profitability may make it difficult to secure any required additional financing on acceptable terms, if able to secure additional financing at all. Insufficient funds may require delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of ACP’s activities.
      Any inability to adequately retain or protect our employees, customer relationships and proprietary technology could harm ACP’s ability to compete. Future success and ability to compete depends in part upon ACP’s employees, customer relationships, proprietary technology and trademarks. Despite its efforts, ACP may be unable to prevent third parties from soliciting its employees, or customers or infringing or misappropriating its intellectual property. ACP’s employees, customer relationships and intellectual property may not be adequate to provide a competitive advantage or to prevent competitors from entering the markets for the Company’s products and services. Additionally, competitors could independently develop non-infringing technologies that are competitive with, and equivalent or superior to, ACP’s products. ACP will monitor infringement and/or misappropriation of its proprietary rights. However, if infringement or misappropriation of its proprietary rights is detected, litigation to enforce these rights could cause ACP to divert financial and other resources away from its business operations.
      The departure of certain key personnel could harm the financial condition of the company. Several of our employees are intimately involved in our business and have day-to-day relationships with critical customers and processes. Competition for highly skilled business, product development, marketing and other personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the company will be successful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining its existing personnel. A failure to retain the services of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on ACP’s operating results and financial condition.
      ACP faces numerous competitors. ACP has many competitors with comparable characteristics and capabilities that compete for the same group of customers. Competitors are competent and experienced and, like ACP, are continuously working to capture market share. These competitors may have greater financial, marketing and other resources. ACP’s ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the sales and marketing of their products and services.

ACP’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
      ACP’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. ACP’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement.

Table of Contents

Overview
      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. ACP evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis. These estimates are based on historical experience and on assumptions that ACP believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. ACP’s experience and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of its assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what ACP anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change ACP’s reported results. ACP believes the following accounting policies are most critical to it, in that they are important to the portrayal of it’s financial statements and they require ACP’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
      ACP recognizes revenue when its products are shipped.
      Returns are recognized upon receipt of the products. A provision for warranty costs has not been accrued because, in the opinion of management, warranty costs are not subject to reasonable estimation. Management believes the effects of the foregoing are not material to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
      In assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, ACP must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, ACP may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Statement of Operations Data
      The following tables set forth certain items in ACP’s Statements of Operations for the periods indicated.
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
                                 
    2004   2003   Change   %

  $ 7,714,653     $ 8,266,863     $ (552,210 )     (6.7 )%
Cost of Sales
  $ 4,581,795     $ 5,232,904     $ (651,109 )     (12.4 )%
Gross Profit
  $ 3,132,858     $ 3,033,959     $ 98,899       3.3  %
Operating Expenses
  $ 3,439,875     $ 3,772,358     $ (332,483 )     (8.8 )%
Loss from Operations
  $ (307,017 )   $ (738,399 )   $ (431,382 )     (58.4 )%
Other Income (Expense)
  $ (10,916 )   $ (25,742 )   $ (14,826 )     (57.6 )%
Net Loss
  $ (317,933 )   $ (764,141 )   $ (446,208 )     (58.4 )%
      Net Sales decreased 6.7% from $8,266,863 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $7,714,653 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This was primarily due to a decline in sales to international distributors, which was caused by several factors. First, the European economies were relatively weak, particularly in Germany which is the market served by ACP’s largest international distributor. Second, competition and insurance reimbursement systems generally continued to put pressure on pricing for allergen barrier bedding products. And third, newly introduced consumer product testing programs in Germany temporarily put ACP’s products at a competitive disadvantage.
      Gross Profit increased 3.3% from $3,033,959 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $3,132,858 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The net impact of price increases and order discounts implemented during the year contributed to gross margin improvement on catalog and web site customer purchases. Primary raw material cost reductions lowered the cost of goods sold on manufactured bedding products. And overall margins benefited from the fact that lower margin international sales accounted for a smaller percentage of total sales.

Table of Contents

      Selling and General and Administrative Expenses decreased 8.8% from $3,772,358 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 to $3,439,875 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Selling Expense declined $132,786, or 12.2%. In 2003, ACP implemented an aggressive new physician marketing program, which included substantial catalog re-design expense, as well as increased catalog distribution to prospective referring physicians. In 2004, the company re-focused physician marketing on referring physicians, resulting in reduced catalog distribution expense. General and Administrative Expense declined $199,697, or 7.4%. Of note was lower expense associated with computer leasing, due to completion of the original lease period on the company’s integrated operating system installed in 2001.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
      None.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Cash totaled $78,107 at December 31, 2004, compared to $165,714 at December 31, 2003. Net cash used by operating activities was $25, 966 during 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2004, ACP made a payment of short-term borrowings totaling $250,000. Of this amount, $50,000 was provided out of ACP’s working capital and $200,000 was provided out of proceeds of borrowings from the stockholder.
      Inventories at December 31, 2004 decreased by a net amount of $104,712 or 14.5% to $616,471 compared to $721,183 at December 31, 2003. The net inventory decrease reflects management’s adjustment of ordering levels to increase inventory turn rates during the year.
      As indicated in the financial statements of ACP included as Exhibit A to this proxy, ACP has incurred losses of $317,933 and $764,141 during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,473,103 and stockholders’ deficit of $4,848,103 at December 31, 2004. In addition, at December 31, 2004, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,997,500. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has determined that additional outside financing or a merger with a synergistic partner would be beneficial in alleviating this going concern problem. However, it cannot assure that sufficient financing on acceptable terms will be available. With the merger of ACP and Planet, the combined Company will strive to grow its operations, combine those operations into ACP’s Ridgefield, Connecticut facility and develop new markets for Planet’s and ACP’s products. In addition, the combined Company may also seek additional outside financing. These combined efforts are intended to create a profitable Company with increased liquidity and capital resources to grow the business and remain a going concern. If the Company cannot successfully integrate the two businesses and obtain sufficient financing, the Company may not realize the expected benefits of the merger and eliminate going concern issue for the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
THE COMPANY’S UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
      On March 10, 2005, Planet Technologies, Inc. (“Planet”) and Allergy Control Products, Inc. (“ACP”) announced that on March 7, 2005, they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) in which ACP will merge with and become a subsidiary of Planet and for which Planet will issue and deliver to the sole-shareholder of ACP approximately 600,000 shares of Planet common stock (or 300 shares of Planet common stock for each one share of ACP common stock outstanding). As a result, after the closing of the Agreement, the sole-shareholder of ACP will own approximately 22% of the voting shares of Planet. As a condition to and simultaneously with, the effective time of the Merger, Planet shall cause to be paid to Jonathan T. Dawson the sum of $1,500,000 cash in full payment of all indebtedness of ACP to Mr. Dawson,

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      On March 7, 2005, Planet Technologies, Inc. (“Planet”) and Allergy Control Products, Inc. (“ACP”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) in which ACP will merge with and become a subsidiary of Planet and for which Planet will issue and deliver to the sole-shareholder of ACP approximately 600,000 shares of Planet common stock (or 300 shares of Planet common stock for each one share of ACP common stock outstanding). As a result, after the closing of the Agreement, the sole-shareholder of ACP will own approximately 22% of the voting shares of Planet. As a condition to and simultaneously with, the effective time of the Merger, Planet shall cause to be paid to Jonathan T. Dawson the sum of $1,500,000 cash in full payment of all indebtedness of ACP to Mr. Dawson its sole-shareholder. Due to the nature of the transaction, the business combination will be accounted for under the purchase accounting method as defined by SFAS 141 “Business Combinations.”
      Additionally, in accordance to EITF Consensus 95-19, the value of the shares of Planet’s common stock issued totaling $1,200,000 is based on the average market price of $2.00 over a reasonable period of time before and after the two companies have reached agreement on the purchase price and the proposed transaction is announced.
(2) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
      a. To record the ACP’s sole-shareholder cash contribution of $500,000 to capital prior to closing for termination benefits for one of the officers of ACP.
      b. To record the payment in cash of $1,500,000 for the complete settlement of all indebtedness to the ACP’s sole-shareholder.
      c. To eliminate ACP’s (the acquired company) historical shareholders’ equity (deficiency) accounts and to record the issuance of 600,000 shares of Planet common stock for the remaining net assets of ACP. The aggregate cost of the transaction is $2,700,000 comprised of a cash payment of $1,500,000 and issuance of stock valued at $1,200,000. The assets and liabilities of ACP had carrying values equal to fair value. The amount of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed totalled $1,897. The costs of completing the transaction are estimated to total approximately $100,000. The aggregate cost of the transaction in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired is $2,798,103 which will be recorded as goodwill.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
      Q: WHY IS THE COMPANY MERGING WITH ACP?
      A: The Company intends to expand its product scope and business operations through its merger with ACP. We believe the Company’s acquisition of ACP’s business will provide the Company with an operating business complementary with certain of the allergy products that the Company has developed and currently markets, as well as open new markets for the Company’s products.
      Q: WHAT WILL ACP RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?
      A: In the Merger, each share of ACP common stock shall be converted into the right to receive 300 shares of Company common stock. The sole shareholder of ACP currently holds 2,000 shares of ACP common stock, which is convertible into 600,000 shares of Company common stock, or 300 shares of Company common stock for each one share of ACP common stock outstanding.
      As a condition to, and simultaneously with, the effective time of the Merger, the Company shall cause to be paid to Jonathan T. Dawson, the sole shareholder of ACP, the sum of $1,500,000 cash in full repayment of all indebtedness of ACP to Mr. Dawson.

Table of Contents

      Q: HOW WILL THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS BE AFFECTED BY THE MERGER?
      A: The Company shareholders will continue to own the same number of shares of the Company common stock that they owned immediately prior to the Merger. Each share of the Company common stock, however, will represent a smaller ownership percentage of a larger company.
      Q: WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS?
      A: The Merger standing alone is not expected to result in any material tax consequences to the Company or the Company shareholders for United States income tax purposes.
      Q: WHAT SHAREHOLDER VOTES ARE NEEDED TO APPROVE THE MERGER?
      A: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock is required to approve the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Merger.
      Q: WHEN DOES THE COMPANY EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE MERGER?
      A: The Company and ACP are working to complete the Merger as quickly as possible. We expect to complete the Merger as soon as reasonably possible after the requisite shareholder votes have been obtained.
      Q: ARE THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS?
      A: If the Merger is approved by the required vote of the Company’s shareholders and is not abandoned or terminated, holders of the Company’s common stock who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who notify the Company in writing of their intent to demand payment of their shares if the Merger is consummated, may, by complying with Sections 1300 through 1312 of the California Corporations Code, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, be entitled to dissenters’ rights as described therein. The Company’s shareholders must notify the Company of their intent to dissent within 30 days of the date that the notice of approval of the Merger is mailed to all the Company’s shareholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger.
      Q: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?
      A: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete, sign and date your proxy and return it in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible, so that your shares may be represented at the annual meeting of the Company shareholders. If you sign, date and return your proxy card but do not include instructions on how to vote your proxy, we will vote your shares IN FAVOR of each proposal described in this proxy statement. You may attend the annual meeting, if you are a Company shareholder and vote your shares in person rather than voting by proxy.
      Q: IF MY BROKER HOLDS MY SHARES IN “STREET NAME,” WILL MY BROKER VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?
      A: Generally your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker.
      Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT VOTE?
      A: If you do not submit a proxy or vote at your annual meeting, your shares will not be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and your inaction will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 but may have no effect on the outcome of the other proposals. If you submit a proxy and affirmatively elect to abstain from voting, your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be voted at the annual meeting. As a result, your abstention will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 but will have no effect on the outcome of the other proposals.

19


Table of Contents

      Q: CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY?
      A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Company’s annual meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:
  •  timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy by mail;
 
  •  revoking your proxy by written notice to the corporate secretary of the Company; or
 
  •  voting in person by written ballot at the Company annual meeting.
      If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow the directions from your broker on how to change that vote.
      Q: ARE THERE ANY RISKS I SHOULD CONSIDER IN DECIDING WHETHER TO VOTE FOR THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT?
      A: We have listed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” the risks among others that you should consider in deciding whether to vote for Proposal No. 1 described in this proxy statement.
      Q: WHOM SHOULD I CALL WITH QUESTIONS?
      A: If you have any questions about the Merger or about any of the other proposals described in this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy, you should contact:
  Planet Technologies, Inc.
  6835 Flanders Drive, Suite 100
  San Diego, California 92121
  (858) 457-4742
  Attention: Scott L. Glenn
      You may also obtain additional information about the Company from documents filed with the SEC by accessing EDGAR, the SEC’s online filing system at www.sec.gov.
RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MERGER
      An investment in the Company’s common stock is subject to many risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, including the financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to approve the Acquisition. The Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
      THE COMPANY MAY NOT REALIZE THE INTENDED BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO EXPAND ACP’S OPERATIONS AND DEVELOP NEW INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS.
      Achieving the benefits of the Merger will depend in part on growing ACP’s operations, combining the operations of ACP and the Company, and developing new markets for the Company’s and ACP’s products. This integration may be difficult and unpredictable because the Company’s operations are based in San Diego, California, and ACP’s operations are based in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The Company plans to consolidate operations into the Ridgefield facility. If the Company cannot successfully integrate the two businesses, the Company may not realize the expected benefits of the Merger.
      THE MERGER WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO THE COMPANY AND ACP, WHETHER OR NOT THE MERGER IS COMPLETED.
      The Merger will result in significant costs to the Company and ACP. Transaction costs are estimated to be at least $100,000. These costs are expected to consist primarily of fees for attorneys, accountants, filing fees and financial printers. All of these costs will be incurred whether or not the Merger is completed. In addition,

20


Table of Contents

if the Agreement and Plan of Merger is terminated under specified circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay a $150,000 termination fee.
      FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE MERGER COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.
      If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the Company’s stock price may decline because costs related to the Merger, such as legal and accounting, must be paid even if the Merger is not completed. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, the Company’s stock price may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed.
      IF THE CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER ARE NOT MET, THE MERGER WILL NOT OCCUR.
      Specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Merger. These conditions are summarized in the section captioned “Conditions to Completion of the Merger” and are described in detail in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company cannot assure you that each of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur or will be delayed and the Company may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.
      THE COMPANY AND ACP MAY WAIVE ONE OR MORE OF THE CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER WITHOUT RESOLICITING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL FOR THE MERGER.
      Each of the conditions to the Company’s and ACP’s obligations to complete the Merger may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, by agreement of the Company and ACP. The board of directors of the Company will evaluate the materiality of any such waiver to determine whether amendment of this proxy statement and resolicitation of proxies is warranted. However, the Company generally does not expect any such waiver to be sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of the shareholders. In the event that the board of directors of the Company determines any such waiver is not sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of shareholders, the Company will have the discretion to complete the Merger without seeking further shareholder approval.
      SALES OF ACP’S PRODUCTS COULD DECLINE OR BE INHIBITED IF CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS ARE DISRUPTED BY THE MERGER.
      The Merger may have the effect of disrupting customer relationships. ACP’s customers or potential customers may delay or alter buying patterns during the pendency of and following the Merger. Customers may defer purchasing decisions as they evaluate the likelihood of successful completion of the Merger. ACP’s customers or potential customers may instead purchase products of competitors. Any significant delay or reduction in orders for ACP’s products could cause the Company’s sales, following the Merger, to decline.
      THE COMPANY MAY ENTER INTO SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS TO MERGE OR CONSOLIDATE WITH OTHER COMPANIES, AND IT MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN THE PROCESS, WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS ARE COMPLETED.
      The Company may enter into other merger agreements, in addition to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with ACP, in furtherance of the Company’s strategy to consolidate with other companies in the allergy market. The Company may not be able to close any mergers on the timetable it anticipates, if at all. The Company may incur significant non-recoverable expenses in these efforts.
      THE COMPANY’S PROSPECTS FOR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE UNCERTAIN AND FAILURE TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY OR OBTAIN NEEDED FINANCING WILL AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO PURSUE FUTURE GROWTH, HARM ITS BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
      If the Company is unable to achieve profitability or raise additional debt or equity financing, it will not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including development costs of new products, potential acquisition opportunities, maintenance of adequate contract manufacturing agreements, progress of research and development efforts, expansion of

21


Table of Contents

marketing and sales efforts and the status of competitive products. Additional financing may not be available in the future on acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s history of substantial operating losses could also severely limit the Company’s ability to raise additional financing. In addition, given the recent price of its common stock, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, additional significant dilution to its shareholders could result.
      If the Company is unable to increase sales, decrease costs, or obtain additional equity or debt financing, the Company may be required to close business or product lines, further restructure or refinance its debt or delay, scale back further or eliminate its research and development program. The Company may also need to obtain funds through arrangements with partners or others that may require it to relinquish its rights to certain technologies or potential products or other assets. The Company’s inability to obtain capital, or its ability to obtain additional capital only upon onerous terms, could very seriously damage its business, operating results and financial condition.
      ISSUING ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AS A MEANS OF RAISING CAPITAL AND THE FUTURE SALES OF THESE SECURITIES IN THE PUBLIC MARKET COULD LOWER THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE AND ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN SUBSEQUENT FINANCINGS; IMPAIR ITS ABILITY IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS TO RAISE FUNDS TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS; AND WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DILUTIVE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY’S EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
      The Company intends to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its working capital needs. If the securities that the Company issues in these financings are subsequently sold in the public market, the trading price of its common stock may be negatively affected. As of April 12, 2005, the last reported sale price of the Company common stock was $1.25. If the market price of the Company common stock continues to decrease, The Company may not be able to conduct additional financings in the future on acceptable terms or at all, and its ability to raise additional capital will be significantly limited.
      Future sales of the Company’s common stock, particularly shares issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding or newly issued securities upon exercise of its outstanding options, could have a significant negative effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that it would deem appropriate. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register shares issued to the sole-shareholder of ACP. When these shares are registered, there will be many more shares that may be sold, which could have a significant negative impact on the market price of the Company’s common stock.
      Shares issued in connection with the Merger and the conversion or exercise of convertible securities into shares of the Company’s common stock will result in substantial dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders. In order to consummate the merger with ACP, the Company intends to issue approximately 600,000 shares of common stock to the sole-shareholder of ACP.
      THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT DECLINE, AND IT MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE AND CONTINUE TO DECLINE.
      In recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of small capitalization technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations. These fluctuations have often negatively affected small cap companies such as the Company, and may impact its ability to raise equity capital. Companies with liquidity problems also often experience downward stock price volatility. The Company believes that factors such as announcements of developments relating to its business (including any financings or any resolution of liabilities), announcements of technological innovations or new products or enhancements by the Company or its competitors, sales by competitors, sales of significant volumes of the Company’s common stock into the public market, developments in its relationships with customers, partners, lenders, distributors and suppliers, shortfalls or changes in revenues, gross margins, earnings or losses or other financial results that differ from analysts’ expectations, regulatory developments and fluctuations in results of operations could and have caused the price of the Company common stock to fluctuate widely and decline over the past

22


Table of Contents

three or more years during the technology recession. The market price of the Company common stock may continue to decline, or otherwise continue to experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Company’s performance.

DESCRIPTION OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
2000 Stock Incentive Plan
      Planet’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by Planet’s shareholders at its annual meeting of shareholders on May 1, 2000. The Board of Directors reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2000 Plan, together with any remaining shares of common stock eligible for issuance under the 1995 Stock Option plan which expire unexercised. A committee consisting of Planet’s Board of Directors or appointed Board members has the sole discretion to determine under which plan stock options and bonuses may be granted.
      The purpose of the 2000 Incentive Plan is similar to that of the 1995 Plan, which was to attract and retain qualified personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business. As was the case under the 1995 Plan, under the 2000 Plan, Planet may grant or issue incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to eligible participants, provided that incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Planet. The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan also allows shares of common stock to be issued under a Stock Bonus Program through direct and immediate issuances. Similar to stock options granted under the Plan, stock bonus awards may be subjected to a vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors. Option grants under both plans are discretionary. Options granted under both plans are subject to vesting as determined by the Board, provided that the option vests as to at least 20% of the shares subject to the option per year. The maximum term of a stock option under both plans is ten years, but if the optionee at the time of grant has voting power over more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the maximum term is five years under both plans. Under both plans if an optionee terminates his or her service to Planet, such optionee may exercise only those option shares vested as of the date of termination, and must affect such exercise within the period of time after termination set forth in the optionee’s option. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under both plans must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of grant. Under both plans the exercise price of options granted to an optionee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of Planet’s outstanding capital stock must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash, by delivery of other shares of the Company’s common stock or by any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.
401(k) Plan
      The Company provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in which all full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Eligible employees are permitted to contribute pre-tax salary to the 401(k) Plan subject to IRS limitations. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There have been no Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan in 2004 or 2003.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
      The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Scott L. Glenn as President/ CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company for a three-year period, which expires on November 29, 2007, The Company agrees to pay Mr. Glenn a salary of $100 per month (plus healthcare and other benefits) until it is determined by the Board that the Company could afford to pay compensation comparable to CEOs of other similar companies. In exchange for foregoing a salary, the Company granted to Mr. Glenn stock options exercisable at the then fair market value at such time as may be required to maintain the aggregate number of stock options granted to Mr. Glenn at an amount not less than five (5%) percent of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) during his three year term of employment.
      The Company has entered into a Consulting Agreement with Dr. Petcavich pursuant to which he retains the 500 options granted to him as a director plus an hourly rate to be determined.

PROPOSAL 3
AMENDMENT TO THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Introduction
      Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company plans to amend its 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2000 Plan from 100,000 shares to 350,000 shares. The purpose behind amending the plan is to allow the Company to retain the services of qualified individuals as directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and independent contractors of the Company. An amendment to the Plan will allow the Company to retain the services of the current Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company and Edward J. Steube as President/ CEO of ACP, as a subsidiary of the Company, and be able to use such shares in the future for other similar agreement with other directors and selected employees, officers, agents, consultants and independent contractors of the Company.

      The Company makes no guarantee as to the tax consequences described below with respect to the grant or exercise of an option, or sale of the stock covered by an option.
Description of the 2000 Plan, as Amended
      The number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan will be sufficient to accommodate the retention of the current Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company and of Edward J. Steube as President/ CEO of ACP, as a subsidiary of the Company, and possibly, in the future other key employees, officers and directors. Shares issuable under the 2000 Plan may be either treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. The number of shares available for issuance will be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the capitalization of the Company.
      Subject to compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the 2000 Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or, in the event the Board shall appoint and/or authorize a committee of two or more members of the Board to administer the 2000 Plan, by such committee (the “Plan Administrator”). Except for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the 2000 Plan, and subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion, to determine all matters relating to the options to be granted under the 2000 Plan, including, without limitation, selection of whether an option will be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, selection of the individuals to be granted options, the number of shares to be subject to each option, the exercise price per share, the timing of grants and all other terms and conditions of the options.
      Options granted under the 2000 Plan may be “incentive stock options” (“Incentive Options”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or stock options which are not incentive stock options (“Non-Incentive Options” and, collectively with Incentive Options, hereinafter referred to as “Options”). Each Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, that only whole shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option. Subject to any other terms and conditions herein, the Plan Administrator may provide that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a stated period or periods of time during which such Option is outstanding; provided, that the Plan Administrator may rescind, modify, or waive any such limitation (including by the acceleration of the vesting schedule upon a change in control of the Company) at any time and from time to time after the grant date thereof. During an optionee’s lifetime, any Incentive Options granted under the 2004 Plan are personal to such optionee and are exercisable solely by such optionee.
      The Plan Administrator can determine at the time the Option is granted in the case of Incentive Options, or at any time before exercise in the case of Non-Incentive Options, that additional forms of payment will be permitted. To the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator and applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, federal tax and securities laws and regulations and state corporate law), an Option may be exercised by:
        (a) delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by an optionee having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, such fair market value to be determined in good faith by the Plan Administrator;
 
        (b) delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price and any federal, state, or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise; or
 
        (c) delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise, together with instructions to the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon exercise that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the option exercise price.
      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan Administrator may also permit any participant to pay the option exercise price upon exercise of an Option by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments and secured by the purchased shares. The terms of any such

33


Table of Contents

promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. In no event may the maximum credit available to the participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price (less the par value of those shares) plus (ii) any federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the participant in connection with the option exercise.
      Upon a merger or consolidation in which securities possessing more than 25% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person different from the person holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an unrelated entity, or a change in the identity of more than three (3) directors over a two-year period each, a (“Corporate Transaction”), any award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable shall become fully exercisable, the restrictions, deferral limitations and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other award granted shall lapse and any performance conditions imposed with respect to awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Option granted to an employee shall not become fully vested until such time as the employee experiences an involuntary termination of employment (other than on account of misconduct).
      Incentive Options granted under the 2000 Plan may not be transferred, pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Plan Administrator may permit transfers of awards for estate planning purposes if, and to the extent, such transfers do not cause a participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to lose the benefit of the exemption under Rule 16b-3 for such transactions.
      Additional rules apply under the Code to the grant of Incentive Options. For instance an Incentive Option must be exercised within 10 years after the date of grant, unless granted to an individual owning more than 10% of the Company’s stock, in which case the exercise period may not exceed five (5) years. Similarly, an Incentive Option must be granted at an exercise price that equals or exceeds 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock at the time of grant, a threshold that is increased to 110% of such fair market value in the case of a grant to an individual owning more than 10% of the Company’s stock.
      For federal income tax purposes, the grant to an optionee of a Non-Incentive Option generally will not constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company. Upon exercise of a Non-Incentive Option (or, in certain cases, a later tax recognition date), the optionee will recognize compensation income taxable as ordinary income, measured by the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock purchased on the exercise date (or later tax recognition date) over the amount paid by the optionee for such Common Stock, and will be subject to federal income tax withholding. Upon recognition of income by the optionee, the Company may claim a deduction for the amount of such compensation. The optionee will have a tax basis in the Common Stock purchased equal to the amount paid plus the amount of ordinary income recognized upon exercise of the Non-Incentive Option. Upon the subsequent sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Non-Incentive Option, an optionee will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale and his tax basis in the Common Stock, which may be long-term capital gain or loss if the optionee holds the Common Stock for more than one year from the exercise date.
      For federal income tax purposes, in general, neither the grant nor the exercise of an Incentive Option will constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company, assuming the Incentive Option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” under Code §422. If an optionee does not dispose of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Option during the statutory holding period, any gain or loss upon subsequent sale of the Common Stock will be long-term capital gain or loss, assuming the shares represent a capital asset in the optionee’s hands. The statutory holding period is the later of two years from the date the Incentive Option is granted or one year from the date the Common Stock is transferred to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Incentive Option. If the statutory holding period requirements are satisfied, the Company may not claim any federal income tax deduction upon either the exercise of the Incentive Option or the subsequent sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise thereof. If the statutory holding period requirement is not satisfied,

34


Table of Contents

the optionee will recognize compensation income taxable as ordinary income on the date the Common Stock is sold (or later tax recognition date) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Common Stock on that date less the amount paid by the optionee for such Common Stock, or (ii) the amount realized on the disposition of the Common Stock less the amount paid by the optionee for such Common Stock; the Company may then claim a deduction for the amount of such compensation income.
      The federal income tax consequences summarized hereinabove are based upon current law and are subject to change.
      The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2000 Plan at any time, except that any such action shall be subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting next following such Board action if such shareholder approval is required by federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, or if the Board of Directors otherwise determines to submit such action for shareholder approval. In addition, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination to the 2000 Plan may materially impair the rights of any participant with respect to any vested Option granted before amendment without such participant’s consent. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the 2000 Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 10 years after the date or which the Board approves the 2004 Plan or (ii) the date on which all shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2000 Plan shall have been issued as vested shares. Upon such 2000 Plan termination, all Options and unvested stock issuances outstanding under the 2000 Plan shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.
New Plan Benefits
      Previously authorized grants of options to certain executive officers and directors of the Company, including Ms. Leslie White, Ms. Ellen Preston, Mr. Scott Glenn, Mr. Bret Megargel, Mr. H. Mac Busby, Mr. Eric Freedus, and Mr. Michael Trinkle would be made effective by this proposed amendment to the Plan. In addition, the amendment to the Plan will allow the Company to retain the services of Mr. Steube as President of the Company’s ACP subsidiary. Information concerning stock option grants to the Company’s executive officers and directors is set forth under “Executive Compensation” beginning on page      of this Proxy Statement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
March 29, 2005
Board of Directors and Stockholder
Allergy Control Products, Inc.
96 Danbury Road
Ridgefield, CT 06877
      We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Allergy Control Products, Inc. (an S corporation) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allergy Control Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a deficiency in assets, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern at December 31, 2004. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Based on management’s assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, it has concluded that realization losses on balances outstanding at year-end will be immaterial.

      The letter to Shareholders and this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends that such statements shall be protected by the safe harbors provided for in such sections. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in this section as well as those sections entitled “Risk Factors,” and in “Item 6 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
PART I.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Planet Technologies, Inc.
General
      On November 30, 2004, Planet acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC, and is now engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation, air filters, bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. Allergy Free acquired its business on or about November 3, 2000, when it acquired substantially all of the assets and business of Allergy Free, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The business strategy is primarily based upon the marketing and selling of a complete range of branded, allergen avoidance products to its database of customers who have purchased the Allergy-Free® Electrostatic Filter. Promotion is executed primarily through direct telemarketing, supplemented with direct mail, radio, and Internet advertising. In addition, we will continue to pursue co-marketing opportunities with appropriate partners in order to increase consumer awareness and expand our customer base. We will market our products under the Allergy Free® trade name. In conjunction with these activities, Planet operates an e-commerce website for the sale of Allergy-Free® products at www.800allergy.com.
      The allergy avoidance product industry provides products and information that help people suffering from allergies or asthma to reduce the level of exposure to allergens in their environment. Market categories include: air filtration products, mold and mildew products, and products to avoid exposure to dust mites and other allergens. Market distribution channels include: direct to consumer sales, physician directed sales, the Internet, and retail. Competitors include National Allergy Supply, Mission Allergy, Allergy Control Products, Allergy Buyers Club, 3M and Sharper Image.
      On March 8, 2005, Planet entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allergy Control Products, Inc. (“ACP”). The merger transaction will be structured pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger agreed upon by both parties, and is subject to approval by each party’s respective shareholders and other contingencies. Pursuant to the terms of the merger transaction the shareholder of ACP will be issued 600,000 shares of Planet common stock. In addition, ACP debt to its shareholder in the approximate amount of $1,500,000 will be paid in full by Planet.
Products and Technologies
      There are over 65 million allergy sufferers in the US alone. The American College of Allergy and Immunology recommends avoidance as the first line of treatment. Allergy Free contracts for the manufacture and distributes products to address three main allergen areas where avoidance products can provide reduced exposure. The categories are Air Filtration, Dust Mite/ Dander avoidance, and Mold concerns.
      Air Filtration Product Category: According to the EPA the air inside houses is 3-5 times more polluted than outdoor air so providing products to clean the air inside the home is critical to any allergy management plan. Allergy Free air filters greatly reduce the amount of airborne contaminants. Planet currently markets three types of filters for forced heating and cooling systems along with vent filtration kits and HEPA room air cleaners.

Table of Contents

  •  The Aller-Pure® Gold Filter is a permanent electrostatic washable filter. The filter is very efficient in removing particles at the 1-10 micron level. The filter is pleated and offers 2.5 times the filtering surface area of a flat filter while providing a low resistance that optimizes airflow. We offer 45 standard sizes and also manufacture custom filters to meet almost any customer need. The filters have a ten-year warranty.
 
  •  The Aller-Pure® MAX- (Micro-Allergen Xtractor) is the newest filter offered by the Company. The Aller-Pure MAX is rated at the highest level for residential filters. It is a pleated filter with actively electrostatic charged media. The disposable filter’s life is 2-3 months and is sold in packages of 4 filters. Currently we offer this filter in 11 standard sizes.
 
  •  We provide the Aller-Pure® Flex filters for free-standing air conditioning units and other types of heating and cooling systems often found in recreational vehicles. The flex filter is comprised of 3 layers and sewn with a trim. These filters are washable and have a three-year warranty.
 
  •  Consumers filter the loose dust from their air ducts using Allergy-Free® Vent Filtration Kits. The vent kits are sold in one month and six week supplies. Consumers are instructed to change the vent filters when dirty and replace with new product.
 
  •  Allergy-Free® Filter Cleaner — Used to clean the Aller-Pure® Gold and Aller-Pure® Flex filters.
 
  •  Allergy-Free® HEPA Room Air Cleaners are available in five different configurations to meet an individual’s needs. These freestanding units are often used when the forced heating and cooling system is not in use and/or when an individual does not have a forced air system.
      These products reduce the amount of airborne contaminants and dust in the air. The products are designed for specific customer requirements that vary based on room size, number of rooms in the house and type of heating and/or cooling system installed. Many customers will purchase and use a furnace filter, vent filtration kit, and a freestanding HEPA room air cleaner.
      Dust Mite/ Dander Avoidance Product Category: Microscopic bugs called dust mites produce potent allergens and thrive in places such as beds, upholstered furniture, and carpets. Approximately 45% of all allergy sufferers are allergic to dust mites. The Company provides a complete line of products that reduce the allergy sufferers’ exposure. Using a variety of the mite reducing products is recommended to achieve maximum relief. Customer testimonials report fewer headaches and less congestion once they have implemented a dust mite removal strategy.
  •  Allergy-Free® Pristine Bed and Pillow Encasings and Hypoallergenic Pillows: The Pristine® line of encasings offered by Planet is the first choice in hypo-allergenic protective bed covers to protect household members from dust mite allergens while sleeping. The Pristine® line is highly recommended by allergy physicians.
 
  •  Anti-Allergen Products for laundry and upholstery: We offer products in this category from Whirlpool, Alkaline products and Ecology Works.
 
  •  Carpet Treatments: Planet markets Capture® Carpet Cleaner, Dust Mite Control and X-Mite carpet treatments. All of these products work by either killing the dust mites or denaturing the protein rendering it to a non-allergenic state.
 
  •  Electrostatic Mops and Dusters: These mops utilize an electrostatic cloth for maximum efficiency without the use of harsh chemicals that also can be harmful to the allergy patient.
 
  •  Dander Reducing Treatments: Allerpet solutions are rubbed directly on to the animal and reduce the amount of pet dander.
      Mold Concerns Product Category: Excess mold in the environment can cause severe headaches and congestion. Allergy Free distributes a full line of products to keep the home environment to an optimum humidity level. The Damp Check Domes are used in closets and cupboards; the Allersearch AllerMold is a product used in showers and tubs. We also recommend and sell mold-free shower curtains and mats.

Product Registrations
      Planet does not directly manufacture any product requiring EPA or FDA registration. We sell products that are registered by their manufacturers.
Licensed Technology and Intellectual Property
      Planet licenses technology associated with the production of its Aller-Pure® Gold Permanent Electrostatic Filter. The licensing agreement is with Rick L. Chapman exclusively for Allergy Free. Patent number 6,056,809. Permanent Air Filter and Method of Manufacture. Specifically a washable air filter for filtering inlet air to a heating and/or air conditioning system comprising an assembly formed of: a deformable, non-electrostatic pad of a high-loft, air laid, resin bonded polymeric fibers, 2 layers of mesh along with 2 layers of expanded steel glue in an aluminum frame. The licensing agreement is for a term of 10 years or the life of the patent or for the period of time in which Planet actively sells the Aller-Pure® Gold Permanent filter. The agreement provides for a royalty of 1.65% based on net filter sales and is paid monthly. The original agreement was dated January 1, 1997.
Research and Development
      Planet is not actively developing new products, although the Company has historically worked with consultants, filter-testing labs, media manufactures and filter manufacturers to develop new enhanced filters and product line extensions.
Government Requirements
      Planet’s sales practices are regulated at both the federal and state level. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”), which was enacted in 1991, authorized and directed the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) to enact rules to regulate the telemarketing industry. In December 1992, the FCC enacted rules, which place restrictions on the methods and timing of telemarketing sales calls.
      On July 3, 2003, the FCC issued a Report and Order setting forth amended rules and regulations implementing the TCPA. The rules, with a few exceptions, became effective August 25, 2003. These rules included: (1) restrictions on calls made by automatic dialing and announcing devices; (2) limitations on the use of predictive dialers for outbound calls; (3) institution of a national “do-not-call” registry in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”); (4) guidelines on maintaining an internal “do-not-call” list and honoring “do-not-call” requests; and (5) requirements for transmitting caller identification information. The “do-not-call” restrictions took effect October 1, 2003. The caller identification requirements became effective January 29, 2004. The FCC also included rules restricting facsimile advertisements. These rules became effective January 1, 2005.
      The Federal Telemarketing Consumer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1994 authorizes the FTC to issue regulations designed to prevent deceptive and abusive telemarketing acts and practices. The FTC issued its Telemarketing Sales Rule (the “TSR”), which went into effect in January 1996. The TSR applies to most direct teleservices telemarketing calls and certain operator teleservices telemarketing calls and generally prohibits a variety of deceptive, unfair or abusive practices in telemarketing sales.
      The FTC amended the TSR in January 2003. The majority of the amendments became effective March 31, 2003. The changes that were adopted that could adversely affect Planet include, but are not limited to: (1) subjecting a portion of our calls to additional disclosure requirements from which such calls were previously exempt: (2) prohibiting the disclosure or receipt, for consideration, of unencrypted consumer account numbers for use in telemarketing; (3) additional disclosure statements relating to certain products and services; (4) additional authorization requirements for payment methods that do not have consumer protections comparable to those available under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”) or the truth in Lending Act; and (5) institution of a national “do-not-call” registry. The “do-not-call” restrictions became effective October 1, 2003. Planet believes it is in compliance with the amendments.

B-6


Table of Contents

      The amendments to the TSR in 2003 may have a material impact on both Planet’s revenue and profitability. The addition of a national “do-not-call” list to the growing number of states that already have “do-not-call” lists has reduced the number of households that the Company may call. Approximately seventy-percent (70%) of Planet’s historical customers have placed their names on the national “do-not-call” list.
      In addition to the federal legislation and regulations, there are numerous state statutes and regulations governing telemarketing activities, which do or may apply to us. For example, some states also place restrictions on the methods and timing of telemarketing calls and require that certain mandatory disclosures be made during the course of a telemarketing call. Some states also require that telemarketers register in the state before conducting telemarketing business in the state.
      We specifically train our telemarketing representatives to handle calls in an approved manner and believe we comply in all material respects with all federal and state telemarketing regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that Planet would not be subject to regulatory challenge for a violation of federal or state law.
      Annual fees for federal registrations were $7,300 for 2004 and proposed fees for 2005 are approximately $11,000. In addition, Planet anticipates spending an additional approximately $5,000-$8,000 on state fees in 2005.
Customers of Planet
      The typical customer for the Company’s products is the residential consumer. In excess of one million customers in this category have purchased the Company products. Additionally, but on a very limited basis, we sell products to physicians offices as well as HVAC service and duct cleaning businesses.
Suppliers of Planet
      Planet acquires its products from a variety of manufacturers. The primary suppliers of the Company products include:
  American Metal Filter Company (Permanent Electrostatic Filters)
  Lifetime Filter Manufacturing, LLC (Disposable Filters)
  J. Lamb, Inc. (Bedding Encasings)
  Austin Air Systems, LTD (Room Air Cleaners)
Sales and Marketing
      We employ staff to perform and manage sales and marketing functions. Outside resources are hired on an as-needed basis to augment the internal effort. Currently Planet actively markets on the Internet, through catalog sales, and inbound and outbound telemarketing.
Employees
      As of January 1, 2005, Planet employed 9 full-time and 2 part-time employees. The company also uses periodic temporary labor, as needed.
Properties
      The Planet office is located in approximately 5400 square feet of leased office space in San Diego, California, subject to a sublease which terminates July 31, 2005. The monthly rental payment is $6,513 triple net.
Risk Factors
      Amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (the “TSR”). The amendments to the TSR in 2003 may have a material impact on both Planet’s revenue and profitability. The addition of a national “do-not-call” list to the growing number of states that already have “do-not-call” lists has reduced the number of households

that the Company may call. Approximately seventy-percent (70%) of Planet’s historical customers have placed their names on the national “do-not-call” list.
      In addition to the federal legislation and regulations, there are numerous state statutes and regulations governing telemarketing activities, which do or may apply to us. For example, some states also place restrictions on the methods and timing of telemarketing calls and require that certain mandatory disclosures be made during the course of a telemarketing call.

      We specifically train our telemarketing representatives to handle calls in an approved manner and believe we comply in all material respects with all federal and state telemarketing regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that Planet would not be subject to regulatory challenge for a violation of federal or state law.
      We have experienced losses, we expect future losses and we may not become profitable. For the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, we had net losses of approximately $773,558 and $574,135, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.7 million.
      Since we have historically incurred net losses, we expect this trend to continue until some indefinite date in the future. We may not become profitable. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
      We may require additional capital in the future which may not be available. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
  •  the cost of manufacturing;
 
  •  developing new markets for our products;
 
  •  competing technological and market developments; and
 
  •  the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims.
      We anticipate that our existing resources combined with revenues will enable us to maintain our current and planned operations through December 31, 2005. However, changes in our plans or other events affecting our operating expenses, such as acquisition opportunities, may cause us to expend our existing resources sooner than expected.
      We may seek additional funding through private placements of stock or strategic relationships. But the uncertainty as to our future profitability may make it difficult for us to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, if we are able to secure additional financing at all. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our activities.
      We are subject to penny stock regulations. Our common stock is not listed or qualified for listing on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange but is only sporadically traded in the over-the-counter market in the so-called OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor will find it difficult to dispose of, and to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of, our common stock.
      Our common stock is classified as a penny stock by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The classification severely and adversely affects the market liquidity for our common stock. The Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters

B-8


Table of Contents

to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedules prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth (i) the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in public offerings and secondary trading and about the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in case of fraud in penny stock transaction. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
      Any inability to adequately retain or protect our employees, customer relationships and proprietary technology could harm our ability to compete. Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon our employees, customer relationships, proprietary technology and trademarks, which we attempt to protect with a combination of trademark and trade secret claims. These legal protections afford only limited protection. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from soliciting our employees or customers or infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. Our employees, customer relationships and intellectual property may not be adequate to provide us with a competitive advantage or to prevent competitors from entering the markets for our product and services. Additionally, our competitors could independently develop non-infringing technologies that are competitive with, and equivalent or superior to, our products. We will monitor infringement and/or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. However, even if we do detect infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to enforce these rights could cause us to divert financial and other resources away from our business operations.
      The departure of certain key personnel could harm the financial condition of the Company. Several of our employees are intimately involved in our business and have day-to-day relationships with critical customers. Planet is not able to afford additional staff to supplement these key personnel. Competition for highly skilled business, product development, marketing and other personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining our existing personnel. A failure on our part to retain the services of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees.
      We face numerous competitors. We have many competitors with comparable characteristics and capabilities that compete for the same group of customers. Our competitors are competent and experienced and are continuously working to take market share away from us. Our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the sales and marketing of their products and services than are available to us.
      There are risks associated with our planned growth. We plan to grow the Company’s revenues and profits by adding to our existing customer base through internal growth and by the acquisition of other companies.
      Management believes that Planet can grow through the acquisitions of other allergy control related companies as part of a “roll-up” strategy. The acquisition of other companies is uncertain and contains a variety of business risks, including: cultural differences, the retention of key personnel, competition, protection of intellectual property, profitability, industry changes and others.
      Although we do not have an agreement to acquire any specific company at this time, other than Allergy Control Products, we intend to attempt to expand our operations through the acquisition of other companies. Acquisitions and attempted acquisitions may place a strain on our limited personnel, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage this growth, should it occur, will require expansion of our capabilities and personnel. We may not be able to find qualified personnel to fill additional positions or be able to successfully manage a larger organization.
      We have very limited assets upon which to rely for adjusting to business variations and for growing new businesses. While we are likely to look for new funding to assist in the acquisition of other profitable

businesses, it is uncertain whether such funds will be available. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising a sufficient amount of additional capital, or if we are successful, that we will be able to raise capital on reasonable terms. If we do raise additional capital, our existing shareholders may incur substantial and immediate dilution.
      Future sales of our common stock by existing shareholders under Rule 144 or this offering could decrease the trading price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2004, a total of approximately 1,955,397 shares of outstanding common stock were “restricted securities” and could be sold in the public markets only in compliance with rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable exemptions from registration. Rule 144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may thereafter sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount not exceeding in any three-month period the greater of either (i) 1% of the issuer’s outstanding common stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the securities during a period of four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. Persons who are not affiliated with the issuer and who have held their restricted securities for at least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. Possible or actual sales of our common stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock. We have filed a registration statement to register many of these shares, which may be sold without the above limitations when and if the registration statement becomes effective.
      Our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 50% of our stock, including stock options and warrants exercisable within 60 days of January 1, 2005; their interests could conflict with yours; significant sales of stock held by them could have a negative effect on our stock price; shareholders may be unable to exercise control. As of January 1, 2005, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons were the beneficial owners of approximately 50% of our common stock, including stock options exercisable within 60 days of January 1, 2005. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliate persons will have significant ability to:
  •  elect or defeat the election of our directors;
 
  •  amend or prevent amendment of our articles or incorporation or bylaws;
 
  •  effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
 
  •  control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote.
      As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers collectively, are able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
      Absence of Dividends. We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
      The executive offices are located in approximately 5,400 square feet of leased office space located at 6835 Flanders Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, California, 92121 subject to a sublease which terminates July 31, 2005. The sublease may be extended on a month-to-month basis after July 31, 2005.

      On March 11, 2005, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was $1.26 per share. As of March 11, 2005, there were approximately 194 holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock with 2,180,368 shares outstanding. The market price of shares of Common Stock, like that of the common stock of many other emerging growth companies, has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.
      The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend. The Company has not paid and does not intend to pay any Common Stock dividends to Common Stock shareholders in the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to fund the Company’s operations. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend upon the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
      During the period from November 29, 2004, through December 31, 2004, the Company entered into subscription agreements with investors for the sale of an aggregate of 258,000 shares of Company common stock at $2.50 a share. The net proceeds received by the company at December 31, 2004 totaled $645,000. The Company relied upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D, promulgated under, the Securities Act.
      On November 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,655,670 shares of common stock to AF Partners, LLC, and certain former members of AF Partners as consideration for the assets of Allergy Free, LLC, valued at $2.50 per share.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Planet evaluates its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Planet bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Planet’s experience and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of its assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what Planet anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change Planet’s reported results. Planet believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to Planet, in that they are important to the portrayal of its financial statements and they require Planet’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of its financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
      Planet recognizes revenue on its products when the product is shipped. Planet accrues a provision for estimated returns concurrent with revenue recognition. In addition, a provision for potential warranty claims is provided for at the time of sale, based upon warranty terms and the Company’s prior experience.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
      Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are maintained based on historical payment patterns, aging of accounts receivable, and actual write-off history. Allowances are also maintained for future sales returns and allowances based on an analysis of recent trends of product returns.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
      In assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, Planet must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, Planet may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Statements of Operations Data
      The following tables set forth certain items in Planet’s Statements of Operations for the periods indicated.
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

      Planet’s net sales decreased 47.7% from $2,258,213 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $1,180,382 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease was due to several factors. First, sales in 2003 were impacted positively both from the effects of radio advertising in late 2002 and early 2003 and from having two active sales locations, with two active telemarketing staffs. For most of 2004, the Company’s San Diego location was the only telemarketing group in operation. Sales in 2004 were negatively

impacted by the Do Not Call (“DNC”) legislation which went into effect during the fourth quarter of 2003. Due to DNC requirements, the company was unable to telemarket its products to a segment of its existing customers.
      Cost of Sales decreased 44.2% from $730,801 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $407,811 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, due mainly to the associated decrease in sales revenue (units sold) and a small shift in product mix and higher distribution costs. Overall gross profit, as a percentage of sales, totaled 65.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, and 67.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. This change is due to a shift in product mix in the first quarter of 2004 and higher distribution and other costs resulting from the relocation to San Diego. This product mix shift was primarily due to an emphasis in the first quarter of 2004 on the sale of room air cleaners and up-selling across the Company’s product line. The Company expects its profit margin to be impacted in the future by higher distribution costs as compared to 2004 and 2003.
      Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased by 31.4% from $1,874,398 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $1,286,684 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Of the $587,714 decrease, approximately $239,000 was attributable to discontinuing the national radio advertising campaign and the remainder of the decrease was related to decreased headcount and facility expenses with only one location active for most of 2004.
      The Other Income(Expense) category includes interest expense of $197,673 and other expenses of $62,671 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. While interest expense was up slightly ($8,211) over the prior year, other expenses increased $22,934, or 57.7% over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. This difference was due mainly to moving costs associated with closing and moving the Company’s Houston operations to San Diego during the first quarter of 2004.

      Net sales decreased 40.4% from $3,787,164 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2,258,213 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was due primarily to the decision to discontinue the national radio advertising campaign in April 2003.
      Cost of sales decreased 39.7% from $1,211,128 for the year ended December 2002 to $730,801 for the year ended December 31, 2003, due to the associated decrease in sales revenue (units sold). Overall gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was relatively constant for the years ended 2003 and 2002, at 67.6% and 68.0%, respectively. This slight decrease year over year was due to the relatively consistent product mix during the two years.
      Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased by 34.5% from $2,860,129 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,874,398 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Of this $985,731 decrease, $939,000 was due to discontinuing the national radio advertising campaign and approximately $15,000 due to a reduction in lease expense in Houston during 2003, where the Company down-sized into a smaller portion of the existing space.

Table of Contents

      The Other Income(Expense) category mainly includes interest expense which totaled $189,462 for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $28,019 or 17.4% over the prior year due to higher outstanding borrowings during the 2003 year.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
      None.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
      Cash and cash equivalents totaled $374,923 at December 31, 2004, compared to $128,005 at December 31, 2003. Although the Company used cash totaling $435,833 in its operations during 2004, an advance from a related party of $120,000 and proceeds from investors notes payable of $142,000 offset some of the cash used in operations. Payments totaling $226,612 were made to pay principal portions of notes payable during the year. During the fourth quarter of 2004, shares were sold to investors through a private placement offering which provided operating capital of approximately $645,000 to pay expenses incurred in the combination of Allergy Free and Planet Polymer and provide further support for sales and marketing efforts. The Company intends to continue its Private Placement Offering for an additional 90 days or more in an effort to provide more working capital and consider acquisition opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or internally generate cash flows, which may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
      Inventories at December 31, 2004 decreased $65,128 or 77.4% to $19,012 compared to $84,140 at December 31, 2003. This decrease continues the trend started in 2003, that as sales and customer demand slipped during the year, inventory levels dropped as well, as management adjusted ordering levels to meet demand.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be measured and recognized in the financial statements using the fair value of the compensation awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for us for the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005; therefore, the Company will adopt the new requirements no later than the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2006. Adoption of the expensing requirements will reduce the Company’s reported earnings. Management is currently evaluating the two methods of adoption allowed by SFAS 123R; the modified-prospective transition method, and the modified-retrospective transition method.
      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
      Our independent registered public accounting firm has informed the Company of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties regarding the reporting and disclosure of information required to be disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC. Based upon that information, the Company has already hired a Controller and other personnel to rectify the potential concern. After these recent changes, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of these new disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that with the recent changes our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

      On November 17, 2004, Scott Glenn and Michael Trinkle were approved as Nominating Committee members The Nominating Committee will be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending candidates to serve as directors of the Company and to serve as a focal point for communication between such candidates, the Board, and the Company’s management and will make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the nomination of candidates to be elected by the Company’s shareholders as a director of the Company.
      On January 25, 2005, the Company adopted a code of ethics for its officers and other key personnel involved in the Company’s operations.
      During 2004, each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board, and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the period for which he or she was a director or committee member, respectively.

Description of Employee Benefit Plans:
2000 Stock Incentive Plan
      Planet’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by Planet’s shareholders at its annual meeting of shareholders on May 1, 2000. The Board of Directors reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2000 Plan, together with any remaining shares of common stock eligible for issuance under the 1995 Stock Option plan which expire unexercised. A committee consisting of Planet’s Board of Directors or appointed Board members has the sole discretion to determine under which plan stock options and bonuses may be granted.
      The purpose of the 2000 Incentive Plan is similar to that of the 1995 Plan, which was to attract and retain qualified personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business. As was the case under the 1995 Plan, under the 2000 Plan, Planet may grant or issue incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to eligible participants, provided that incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Planet. The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan also allows shares of common stock to be issued under a Stock Bonus Program through direct and immediate issuances. Similar to stock options granted under the Plan, stock bonus awards may be subjected to a vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors. Option grants under both plans are discretionary. Options granted under both plans are subject to vesting as determined by the Board, provided that the option vests as to at least 20% of the shares subject to the option per year. The maximum term of a stock option under both plans is ten years, but if the optionee at the time of grant has voting power over more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the maximum term is five years under both plans. Under both plans if an optionee terminates his or her service to Planet, such optionee may exercise only those option shares vested as of the date of termination, and must affect such exercise within the period of time after termination set forth in the optionee’s option. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under both plans must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of

B-21


Table of Contents

grant. Under both plans the exercise price of options granted to an optionee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of Planet’s outstanding capital stock must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash, by delivery of other shares of the Company’s common stock or by any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.
401(k) Plan
      The Company provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in which all full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Eligible employees are permitted to contribute pre-tax salary to the 401(k) Plan subject to IRS limitations. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There have been no Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan in 2004 or 2003.
Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements
      The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Scott L. Glenn as President/ CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company for a three-year period, which expires on November 29, 2007, The Company agrees to pay Mr. Glenn a salary of $100 per month (plus healthcare and other benefits) until it is determined by the Board that the Company could afford to pay compensation comparable to CEOs of other similar companies. In exchange for foregoing a salary, the Company granted to Mr. Glenn stock options exercisable at the then fair market value at such time as may be required to maintain the aggregate number of stock options granted to Mr. Glenn at an amount not less than five (5%) percent of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) during his three year term of employment.
      The Company has entered into a Consulting Agreement with Dr. Petcavich pursuant to which he retains the 500 options granted to him as a director plus an hourly rate to be determined.
      Prior to November 30, 2004 the Company had an agreement with H.M. Busby whereby the Company had agreed to pay Mr. Busby $100 per hour for work he performed on behalf of the Company.
      In January 2005, the Company agreed to employ Bret Megargel as Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at an annualized salary of $96,000. In March 2005, Mr. Megargel’s annual salary was increased to $192,000. Mr. Megargel was also issued 30,000 stock options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Planet Technologies, Inc.
      We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Planet Technologies, Inc., formerly Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc., as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Planet Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and its results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has experienced recurring net losses resulting in a shareholders’ deficiency of $504,400, as of December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $490,715 as of December 31, 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — The Company:
      Planet Technologies, Inc. (“Planet” or the “Company”) formerly known as Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet Polymer”) was incorporated in August, 1991, in the State of California, and, since November 30, 2004, is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and distributing common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation, air filters, bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. The business strategy is primarily based upon promotion of products directly to the consumer by telemarketing to the Company’s database of customers who have purchased the Allergy Free Electrostatic Filter.
      On November 30, 2004, Planet acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC (“Allergy”) for approximately 1.65 million shares of Planet stock (after giving effect to a 50:1 reverse stock split), a convertible note of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three years, and assumption of debt. As a result, Allergy owned approximately 92.7% of the voting shares of Planet. Since the stockholders of Allergy received the majority of the voting shares of Planet, the former managing member of Allergy continued on as the president of the Company, and representatives of Allergy hold three of the five seats on the Company’s Board of Directors, the merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy, whereby Allergy was the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Planet was the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Since, at the closing, Planet was a non-operating shell corporation no longer meeting the definition of a business as defined in EITF Consensus 98-3, “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business”, the transaction was equivalent to Allergy issuing stock for the net liabilities of Planet, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that there were no adjustments to the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows are the historical financial statements of Allergy Free.
      Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, Planet Polymer distributed to a trustee for the benefit of Planet Polymer shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004, the right to receive all royalties payable to Planet pursuant to those certain sale and licensing agreements between Planet and Agway, Inc., related to Planet’s Fresh Seal® and Optigen® technology and that certain purchase, sale and license agreement between Planet and Ryer Enterprises, LLC, relating to Planet’s AQUAMIM® technology.
      Prior to acquiring Allergy, Planet Polymer was an advanced materials company that developed and licensed unique polymer materials. All operations related to Planet Polymer have been discontinued.
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies:
Basis of presentation:
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company has suffered recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,702,696, a shareholders’ deficiency of $504,400, and a working capital deficiency of $490,715 as of December 31, 2004. Management intends to continue to finance operations primarily through its potential ability to generate cash flows from equity offerings, including restricted stock sales. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or internally generate cash flows from operations, which may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying balance sheet does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the potential inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Use of estimates:
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of credit risk:
      The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at various financial institutions. Highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a cash balance that exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limitation for coverage of $100,000 by $235,047.
Inventory:
      Inventory consists of finished products which are purchased from established vendors. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined by the First-In, First-Out method, or market. Inventory is reduced by provisions for excess and slow moving items commensurate with known or estimated exposures. The Company stopped manufacturing its permanent filters in February 2004, when the manufacturing was contracted out to a manufacturer. The Company’s manufacturing equipment is used by this vendor to produce its filters.
Property and equipment:
      Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related lease.
Stock-based compensation:
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, provides for the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for stock options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, which only requires charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB 25. By making that election, it is required by SFAS 123 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” to provide pro forma disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been applied.
      During 2004 and 2003, the Company granted options to its employees and board of directors at the fair value of the common stock. The weighted-average fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $3.48 and $0.05 utilizing an expected life of 10 and 4 years, an expected volatility of 237% and 223%, no dividend yield and a risk free interest rate of 4.27% and 4.65%, respectively.

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method at the grant dates for awards under the Company’s plans, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share for 2004 and 2003 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below.
                                 
    2004   2003
         
        Loss per Share       Loss per Share
        — Basic and       — Basic and
    Net Loss   Diluted   Net Loss   Diluted
                 
As reported
  $ (773,558 )   $ (0.46 )   $ (574,135 )   $ (0.35 )
Stock based compensation expense assuming a fair value based method had been used for all awards
    (95,306 )     (0.06 )     (63,862 )     (0.04 )
                         
Pro forma
  $ (868,864 )   $ (0.52 )   $ (637,997 )   $ (0.39 )
                         
      In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, all other issuances of common stock, warrants, stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued (unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). Generally, the fair value of any options, warrants or similar equity investments will be estimated based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Net loss per share:
      Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and is presented for basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares what would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued.
      The Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants from the calculation of diluted loss per share because all such securities are considered anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share. The total number of potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 468,494 and 27,333, respectively.
Advertising:
      The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were $57,139 and $263,935 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Revenue recognition:
      The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment of goods, with a provision for estimated returns recorded at that time. In addition, a provision for potential warranty claims is provided for at the time of sale, based upon warranty terms and the Company’s prior experience.
      The Company sells most of its products on a prepaid basis. Once the credit payment has been verified, the Company ships the products. Limited terms are extended to selected customers. Credit is extended for a 30-day term. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit considerations.

Shipping and handling costs:
      The Company expenses shipping and handling costs as incurred as part of cost of sales.
Income taxes:
      The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end (“temporary differences”) based on enacted laws and statutory rates applicable for the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is considered more than likely not to be realized.
      Pre merger losses of Allergy were not subject to the Company’s federal and state income tax. Historically, Allergy has not been a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes, and thus no income tax expense had been recorded in the financial statements. Income or losses of the Company were taxed to the members in their respective returns. However, in the State of California, limited liability companies were subject to an annual fee based on the gross income of the company. In addition, the calculation of the tax provision does not include the pre-merger net operating loss of Planet Polymer, which, had been eliminated against equity accounts as part of the acquisition agreement and for the purposes of preparing these financial statements.
401(k) plan:
      The Company provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in which all full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Eligible employees may contribute pre-tax amounts to the 401(k) Plan subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitations. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were no Company contributions charged to operations related to the 401(k) Plan in 2004 and 2003.
Valuation of long-lived assets:
      The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Note 4 — Warranty reserve:
      The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based on both current and historical product sales data and warranty costs incurred. The air filters produced and sold by the Company carry a ten-year warranty. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability quarterly and adjusts the amount as necessary. The warranty liability is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2004, the warranty accrual was $130,961. The majority of the warranty accrual relates to products that were sold prior to the acquisition of Allergy Free L.P. by Allergy Free, LLC in November 2000. As part of the asset purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to provide the warranty coverage on these products through their original warranty period. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability were as follows:
           
Warranty accrual, beginning of year
  $ 130,961  
Warranties issued during the year
    296  
Adjustments to preexisting accruals

Note 5 — Convertible notes payable to shareholder:
      As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a subordinated convertible note payable to a shareholder. The uncollateralized note payable is due on December 1, 2007 however; the Company intends to pay down the note payable with monthly principal and interest payments of $12,085 until full satisfaction of the note payable in October 2006. Interest is due quarterly. At any time, the holder of the note may, at its sole and exclusive option, convert all or any part of the principal and accrued interest outstanding into shares of common stock by giving written notice to the Company specifying the amount of note principal and/or accrued interest to be converted at a price per share of common stock equal to the fair value.
Note 6 — Income taxes:
      The differences between income tax benefit provided at the Company’s effective rate and the federal statutory rate (34%) at December 31, 2004 are as follows:

      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004 are as follows:
           
Net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 4,636,000  
Tax credit carryforwards
    142,000  
Reserves, accrued expenses and other

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      As the ultimate realization of the potential benefits of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is considered unlikely by management, the Company has offset the deferred tax assets attributable to those potential benefits through a valuation allowance and, accordingly, the Company did not recognize any benefit from income taxes in the accompanying statement of operations.
      At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and California state income tax purposes of approximately $12,981,000 and $3,647,000, respectively. The Company’s California loss carryforwards expire in 2005 through 2014 and Federal loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2011. The Company also has available tax credit carryforwards for Federal and California tax purposes that aggregate approximately $142,000 that begin to expire in 2005.
      During 2004, as a result of the reverse acquisition with Allergy Free, the Company experienced a change of ownership event as defined in Section 382 of the IRS Code. Accordingly, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and credits will be subject to a substantial annual limitation. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
Note 7 — Shareholders’ equity:
Warrants:
      At December 31, 2004, warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $208.125 per share were outstanding. The warrants expire in 2005 and 2006.
      All of the warrants outstanding are exercisable. All per share rights and benefits are subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.
Options:
      As of December 31, 2004, the Company had two stock option plans, a 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”) and a 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Option Plan”).
      The 2000 Option Plan provides for 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, together with 100,000 additional shares of common stock for issuance to the extent that outstanding options previously granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan expire unexercised. The 2000 Option Plan provides for the discretionary grant of options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and stock bonuses to employees and directors of and consultants to the Company. Options granted under the 2000 Plan may be either “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-statutory stock options. In March 2005, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the plan to increase the authorized number of shares to 250,000 shares, which will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the next meeting of shareholders.
      Under the 1995 Option Plan, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to acquire an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants to the Company. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company.
      At December 31, 2004, there were no shares of the Company’s common stock available for future grant under either option plan.
      Under both stock option plans, the terms of stock options granted are determined by the Board of Directors. Stock options may be granted for periods of up to ten years at a price per share not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant for non-statutory stock options. In the case of stock options granted to employees, directors or consultants who, at the time of grant of such options, own more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price

shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Additionally, the term of stock option grants is limited to five years if the grantee owns in excess of 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company at the time of grant. The vesting provisions of individual options may vary but in each case will provide for vesting of at least 20% per year of the total number of shares subject to the option.

In exchange, for forgoing a salary, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to acquire 100,543 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.50 per share with 25,136, or 25%, of the options vesting on November 30, 2004, and the balance at the rate of 1/36th of the balance per month, subject to any acceleration as provided under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan.

True and complete copies of all Benefit Plans including, but not limited to, any trust instruments and insurance contracts forming a part of any Benefit Plans and all amendments thereto have been provided or made available to Planet.
 
        (ii) All Benefits Plans, to the extent subject to ERISA, are in substantial compliance with ERISA. Each Benefit Plan which is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (“Pension Plan”) and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and ACP is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter or the loss of the qualification of such Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. There is no material pending or threatened litigation relating to the Benefits Plans. ACP has not engaged in a transaction with respect to any Benefit Plan or Pension Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject ACP to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material.
 
        (iii) No liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by ACP with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by it, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with ACP under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (an “ERISA Affiliate”). ACP has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any withdrawal liability with respect to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA (regardless of whether based on contributions of an ERISA Affiliate). No notice of a “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof or will be required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
        (iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Benefit Plan have been timely made. Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and no ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. ACP has not provided, or is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.
 
        (v) Under each Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in the Pension Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition of such Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year.
 
        (vi) ACP does not have any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any Benefit Plan. ACP may amend or terminate any such Benefit Plan at any time without incurring any liability thereunder.
 
        (vii) None of the execution of this Agreement, shareholder approval of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (A) entitle any employees of ACP to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Benefit Plans, (C) result in any breach or violation of, or

C-10

  a default under, any of the Benefit Plans or (D) result in any payment that would be a “parachute payment” to a “disqualified individual” as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code, without regard to whether such payment is reasonable compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future.
 
        (m) Labor Matters. ACP is neither a party to nor bound by any collective bargaining agreement, contract or other agreement or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor is it the subject of a proceeding asserting that it has committed an unfair labor practice (within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act) or seeking to compel ACP to bargain with any labor organization as to wages or conditions of employment, nor is there any strike or other labor dispute involving it or, to ACP’s knowledge, threatened, nor is ACP aware of any activity involving its employees seeking to certify a collective bargaining unit or engaging in other organizational activity.
