NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

     In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-QSB, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

     In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For additional information, refer to the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, contained in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a loss of $244,591. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,584,207. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company does not believe that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated revenue will be adequate to satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through December 31, 2004, to continue as a public reporting company without raising additional capital or consummating a business combination (see below). For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company had no employees and did not conduct any research or development. The Company’s future capital requirements will be dependent upon many factors, including, but not limited to, costs associated with the continued support of licenses on the Company’s proprietary polymer materials, costs associated with the enforcement of the Company’s patents, and costs associated with the administration of the Company. Although possible, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flow and show a profit through December 31, 2004.

     On March 22, 2004, the Company and Allergy Free, LLC (“Allergy Free”) announced that on March 18, 2004, they had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”). As subsequently amended, the Agreement provides for the Company to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Allergy Free for which the Company will provide the following consideration: a subordinated convertible note in the approximate principal amount of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three (3) years and approximately 82,732,970 shares of common stock of the Company. Additionally, the Company will assume approximately $611,000 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of March 31, 2004 (plus, all obligations arising under assumed contracts which arise after the closing). As a result, after the closing of the Agreement and the conversion of the notes and related interest payable, the members of Allergy Free will own approximately 92.7% of the voting shares of the Company. Since the members of Allergy Free will receive the majority of the voting shares of the

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company, the current president of Allergy Free will become president of the Company and since representatives of Allergy Free will hold three of the five seats on the Company’s Board of Directors, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby Allergy Free will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company will be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Investors are encouraged to review, when available, the Company’s Proxy Statement, which will be available through EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and is presented for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock (using the “if converted” method) and exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) for all periods.

     The Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, because all such securities are either anti-dilutive for those periods or their impact was insignificant. 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 six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

                 
    2004
  2003
Warrants
    100,000       255,000  
Options
    104,500       1,159,941  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Total
    204,500       1,414,941  
 
   
 
     
 
 

4. Income Taxes

     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 valuation allowances and, accordingly, the Company did not recognize any benefit for income taxes in the accompanying condensed statements of operations to offset its pre-tax losses.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     As explained in Note 10 in the Form 10-KSB, the Company accounts for stock options granted to employees based on their intrinsic values under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations,” and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Since the exercise price of all of the options granted by the Company to its employees has been equal to or greater than fair value, the Company has not recognized any earned or unearned compensation costs in its financial statements in connection with those options. The Company’s historical net income (loss) per share and pro forma net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, assuming compensation cost had been determined based on the fair value of all options at the respective dates of grant determined using a pricing model consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123 are set forth below:

     During the first quarter of 2004, the Company agreed to forbear the February and March installment payments due from Ryer Enterprises, LLC in exchange for a two (2) month extension of the installment payments plus an additional installment payment of $4,600.

     During the period ended June 30, 2004, the obligations of Ryer Enterprises, LLC under the May 1, 2003 Agreement with the Company were assigned, with the Company’s approval, to Ryer, Inc., a California corporation (“Assignment”). As part of the Assignment, Ryer, Inc. paid the April and May 2004 installments to the Company on behalf of Ryer Enterprises, LLC. In addition, on June 23, 2004, the Company received a payment from Ryer, Inc. of approximately $161,000 to satisfy the remaining balance of the note.

PART 1 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

OVERVIEW

     Since Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet” or the “Company”) was founded in 1991 substantially all of the Company’s resources have been devoted to the development and commercialization of its technologies and products. This has included the expenditure of funds to develop the Company’s corporate infrastructure and support the Company’s research and development of products, marketing, licensing of products to third parties and corporate administration. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company did not engage in any research and development and did not incur any employee expense.

     Planet had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2004, of approximately $14.6 million. The Company’s only anticipated source of revenues is from royalties from BASF, Alltech and Ryer, Inc., which are not expected to be sufficient to result in a net profit through December 31, 2004.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS

     The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $244,591 compared to a net income of $181,202 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003. This decrease is a result of a decline in revenues and the Company incurring higher legal expenses and costs for the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to the pending acquisition agreement with Allergy Free, LLC. The Company had no revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $10,720 for the same period in 2003.

     Effective January 15, 2004, Agway entered into an agreement to sell all of the assets of its FreshSeal® business, which include the fruit/produce patent rights assigned by the Company, to BASF. Also, in January 2004, Agway sold all of its right and interest to Optigen® to Alltech. Management cannot assure that the Company will receive significant, if any, royalties and monies under these Sale and Licensing Agreements. The Company is hopeful BASF and Alltech will continue to commercialize the intellectual property and provide future royalty revenue streams to the Company.

     In April 2003, the Company recovered the assets sold to Ryer Industries, LLC, and by agreement dated as of May 1, 2003, resold the assets to Ryer Enterprises, LLC (“Ryer Enterprises”). Pursuant to said agreement, the Company licensed to Ryer Enterprises, the patent rights relating to the AQUAMIM® products for royalties which are payable monthly forty-five days after the close of each month for 8 years after which Planet has agreed to transfer the patents to Ryer Enterprises, provided it is not in default. In June 2004, with the approval of the Company, the obligations of Ryer Enterprises under the May 1, 2003 agreement with the Company were assigned to and assumed by Ryer, Inc., a California corporation (“Assignment”). On June 23, 2004, as a result of the Assignment, the Company received a payment from Ryer, Inc. of approximately $161,000 to satisfy the note relating to the AQUAMIM® products and the Agreement. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Royalty Contract with Ryer, Inc. redefining on

PART 1 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

what sales and how royalty payments are to be made and pursuant to which the Company assigned all patent rights related to AQUAMIM® technology to Ryer, Inc.

     Cost of revenues increased to $2,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $1,221 for the same period in 2003 due primarily to amortization of intangible assets.

     Total operating expenses increased to $312,750 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $272,626 for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to higher legal expenses and costs incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to the pending acquisition agreement with Allergy Free, LLC.

     Similar to the second quarter of 2003, the Company incurred no research and development expenses. Unless and until the Proposed Acquisition is completed, the Company anticipates limited or no further research and development activities on new products.

     Other income, net decreased from approximately $287,488 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, to $10,715 for the same period in 2004. This decrease reflects a one time gain on sale of fixed assets and certain license revenue from Agway in 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $53,735 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This negative cash flow was due primarily to increased accounting and legal expenses resulting from the proposed asset purchase agreement between Allergy Free, LLC and the Company.

     The Company does not believe that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated revenue will be adequate to satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through September 2004 to continue operations as a public reporting company without raising additional capital or consummating a business merger (see below).

     On March 22, 2004, the Company and Allergy Free, LLC (“Allergy Free”) announced that on March 18, 2004, they had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”). As subsequently amended, the Agreement provides for the Company to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Allergy Free for which the Company will provide the following consideration: a subordinated convertible note in the approximate principal amount of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three (3) years and approximately 82,732,970 shares of common stock of the Company. Additionally, the Company will assume approximately $611,000 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of March 31, 2004 (plus, all obligations arising under assumed contracts which arise after the closing). As a result, after the closing of the Agreement and the conversion of the notes and related interest payable, the members of Allergy Free will own approximately 92.7% of the voting shares of the Company. Since the members of Allergy Free will receive the majority of the voting shares of the Company, the current president of Allergy Free will become president of the Company and since representatives of Allergy Free will hold three of the five seats on the Company’s Board of Directors, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby Allergy Free will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company will be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Investors are

encouraged to review, when available, the Company’s Proxy Statement which will be available through EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

     If the transaction is completed, immediately prior to or concurrently with the closing, Planet will distribute to a trustee for the benefit of Planet shareholders of record as of April 15, 2004 (“Trust”), the right to receive all royalties payable to Planet pursuant to the Sale and Licensing Agreements between Planet and Agway, Inc., relating to Planet’s FreshSeal® and Optigen® technology and the certain Royalty Agreement between Planet and Ryer, Inc., relating to Planet’s AQUAMIM® technology.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2004, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
