SUMMARY TERM SHEET

THIS SUMMARY MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. FOR A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY, AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT REFERS.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Date, Time and
Place of Annual
 
Meeting The Annual Meeting will be held on November 17, 2004 beginning at 10:00 a.m., La Jolla time, at 800 Silverado Street, La Jolla, CA 92037.
   
Record Date: Shareholders Entitled  
to Vote; Quorum Only holders of record of Planet common stock on September 30, 2004 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 6,582,884 shares of Planet common stock outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our common stock will constitute a quorum.
   
Vote Required Holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock are required to vote in favor of Proposals 1, 2, 3, and 4 for such proposals to pass; the five persons with the most number of votes will be elected directors pursuant to Proposal 5; and assuming a quorum is present, holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting are required to vote in favor of Proposals 6 and 7 for such proposals to pass.
   
Recommendation of Board of  
Directors Our Board of Directors unanimously approved each of the Proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” each proposal.

PROPOSAL 1 – ALLERGY FREE ASSET PURCHASE

Companies Involved in the  
Acquisition Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. is engaged in the business of developing and licensing unique hydrosoluable polymer and biodegradable materials in the fields of agriculture and industrial manufacturing.
   
  Allergy Free is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing consumer products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including air filters, bedding and similar products.
   
Summary of the Acquisition In the Acquisition, the Company will issue and deliver to Allergy Free approximately 82,732,970 shares of the Company’s common stock. At Closing, the Company also agreed to issue and deliver to Allergy Free a Subordinated Convertible Note in the approximate amount of a $274,300 with interest at 5.5% per annum. The Company will assume approximately $701,229 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of June 30, 2004 (plus, all obligations

v


Table of Contents

  arising under assumed contracts which arise after the Closing). Allergy Free will retain certain of its assets.
   
Reasons for the Acquisition In approving the Acquisition and in recommending that the Company’s shareholders approve the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors considered a number of factors. The Company considered the impact on combining the Company’s business with Allergy Free’s business, and the potential positive results of combining the operations of Allergy Free with the technology of the Company. The Company also considered new management and what that might do for the Company’s business.
   
Background and Negotiations  
Related to the Acquisition The Company and Allergy Free have been discussing the asset purchase since the Fall of 2003.
   
Material Tax Consequences to the Company and its  
Shareholders The Acquisition by itself should not result in any material tax consequences to either the Company or its shareholders, but the Distribution of Royalty Rights described below will be a taxable transaction and could result in material tax consequences to both the Company and its shareholders.
   
Dissenters Rights If the Acquisition 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 Acquisition and who notify the Company in writing of their intent to demand payment of their shares if the Acquisition is consummated, may, by complying with Sections 1300 through 1312 of the California Corporations Code, 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 Acquisition is mailed to all the Company’s shareholders who did not vote in favor of the Acquisition.
   
Vote Required to Approve Asset
Purchase and
 
Acquisition The affirmative vote of holders of the majority of outstanding common stock is required to approve the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition.
   

PROPOSAL 2 – DISTRIBUTION OF ROYALTY RIGHTS

 
Establishment of Trust Prior to the Acquisition, the Company entered into certain licensing agreements with Agway, Inc. and Ryer Enterprises, LLC whereby the Company licensed its technology to the outside companies (the “Royalty Contacts”). As a part of the Royalty Contracts, the Company has the potential to receive future royalty payments. The amount of such payments is speculative and subject to a number of uncertainties. The Company and Allergy Free agreed to exclude the Royalty Contracts, and any potential payments, from the Acquisition. Instead, the Company has proposed the establishment of the Royalty Liquidation Trust (“Trust”) for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders and to distribute the right to receive royalty payments and cash, which the company has already received under the Royalty Contracts, to the Trust.
   
Reasons for the Trust The sole purpose of the Trust is to collect royalties and other payments due under the Royalty Contracts and distribute any such payments to the shareholders of record of the Company as of September 30, 2004, subject to

vi


Table of Contents

  paying certain expenses and maintaining a $30,000 reserve for the payment of future expenses related to the Trust and Royalty Contracts.
   
Beneficial Interests in Trust are  
not Transferable No beneficial interest in the Trust will be transferable except upon death or by operation of law.
   
Tax Consequences The Company must recognize gain, if any, on the distribution to the Trust of cash and the right to receive royalty payments as if it had transferred such rights to the shareholders for fair market value. The Company believes any such gain would be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward. However, this is a risk the shareholders must consider.A distribution of cash and royalty rights to the Trust could be considered, in part, a dividend, and to the extent considered a dividend will be reported as dividend income to the shareholders. The amount, if any, treated as a dividend will depend upon whether or not at the end of the year the Company has earnings and profits. Any excess of the cash and fair market value of the royalty rights over the amount considered a dividend will be treated as a return of capital and reduce the shareholder’s tax basis in their shares of Company common stock. If the amount treated as distributed to a shareholder as a return of capital exceeds the shareholders tax basis, the excess will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property. Currently, the Company has no accumulated earnings and profits, and it will not be known until the end of the calendar year whether the Company has earnings and profits. The Company is not expecting earnings and profits, if any, will be material
   
Vote Required to Approve
Distribution of Royalty
 
Rights The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding common stock is required to approve the distribution of cash and royalty rights to the Royalty Trust.

PROPOSAL 3 – APPROVE REVERSE SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK

Amount of Reverse Split We propose amending our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect, when and as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion within the 2004 calendar year, a reverse stock split of one-for-fifty. For example, as a result of the reverse split, 500 shares may be converted into 10 shares.
   
Reasons for Reverse Split Our objectives in proposing a possible reverse split (which may not be fully achieved) would, among others, be:
   
§ To reduce the number of outstanding shares to a number more appropriate to a company at our stage of development;
   
§ To increase the attractiveness of our common stock to investors and the financial community.
 
Fractional Shares If a reverse split is effected, we will not issue fractional shares. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
   
Exchange of Certificates If a reverse split is effected, at the effective date of the reverse split each stockholder’s outstanding shares would automatically be reduced regardless of whether the stock certificate is exchanged. We, or our transfer agent, would send a letter to each stockholder providing instructions to exchange certificates representing pre-split shares into new certificates representing the number of shares after the reverse split.
   
Tax Consequences Stockholders who exchange their pre-split stock for stock after a reverse split

vii


Table of Contents

  would not recognize income or other gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. Stockholders’ aggregate tax basis in the stock after a split would be the same as the basis for the pre-split shares. We would not recognize any gain or loss as a result of a reverse split.
   
Vote Required to Approve  
Reverse Stock Split The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of outstanding common stock are required to approve the reverse stock split.
   
PROPOSAL 4 – APPROVE NAME CHANGE 
   
Summary of Amendment We propose amending our Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of our name to “Planet Technologies, Inc.” 
   
Reasons for Amendment The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to change the name of the Company from “Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.” to “Planet Technologies, Inc.” Management believes the name change would be beneficial to the Company for marketing, branding, and other similar purposes.
   
Votes Required to Approve  
Name Change The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of outstanding common stock is required to approve the name change.
   
PROPOSAL 5 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS 
   
Nominees There are five board nominees for the five board positions presently authorized by the Company’s current bylaws. The names of the nominees are H. M. Busby; Scott L. Glenn; Robert J. Petcavich, Ph. D.; Ellen Preston; and Michael Trinkle.
   
Voting Shares represented by executed proxies will vote, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the nominees, subject to the discretionary power to cumulate votes. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as management may propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.
   
PROPOSAL 6 – 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 500,000 shares to 5,000,000 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 Scott L. Glenn as President/CEO and Chairman of the Board 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.

Table of Contents

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.

PROPOSAL 7 – RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Engagement of Accountant We have approved retaining J.H. Cohn LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2004 fiscal year and we seek stockholder ratification of that decision.
    
Vote Required to Approve The affirmative votes of the holders of the majority of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting are required to ratify the selection of independent registered public accounting firm.

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 September 30, 2004 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

                 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.

§ the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property;
 
§ the impact of  competitive  products,  pricing  and  customer service and support;

OVERVIEW OF PROPOSAL 1

ALLERGY FREE ASSET PURCHASE

                 Allergy Free, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Allergy Free”), is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and distributing consumer products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, air filters, bedding and similar products.

                On March 18, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Allergy Free, whereby the Company agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to purchase substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities of Allergy Free (the “Acquisition”). On June 11, 2004 and October 6, 2004, the Company and Allergy Free amended the Agreement with the First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Asset Purchase Agreement as amended 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. The Amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit “C-1.” This Agreement as amended provides the terms and conditions that govern the Company’s acquisition of Allergy Free’s assets. We encourage you to read the Asset Purchase 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 Acquisition, the Company will issue and deliver to Allergy Free approximately 82,732,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment for each day after August 25, 2004 that the closing date occurs. The Company does not expect any adjustment to be material. Allergy Free’s percentage ownership of the Company after the Acquisition will be approximately 92.7%. At Closing, the Company also agreed to issue and deliver to Allergy Free a Subordinated Convertible Note in the approximate amount of a $274,300 with interest at 5.5% per annum. If the Note is converted, Allergy Free’s percentage ownership in the Company would increase to approximately 93.1%.

                The Company will assume approximately $701,229 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of June 30, 2004 (plus, all obligations arising under assumed contracts which arise after the Closing). Obligations arising under assumed contracts and other commitments after the Closing will consist principally of rent under the sublease for Allergy Free’s Premises in San Diego, California (approximately $6,244.00 per month), license fees for technology associated with the production of Allergy Free’s electrostatic filter at the rate of 1.65% of net filter sales, and obligations under supply, distribution, marketing and other service agreements arising in the ordinary course of business the obligations under which will depend on the volume of Company business and cannot be quantified at this time. Allergy Free will retain certain of its assets.

PROPOSAL 1

THE ACQUISITION

Reasons for the Acquisition

                In approving the Acquisition and in recommending that the Company’s shareholders approve the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition, 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 Allergy Free’s respective businesses, prospects, business plans, financial performance and condition, results of operations, technology and competitive positions;
 
§ The current state of the Company;
 
§ The due diligence investigation conducted by the Company’s management, legal, and financial advisors;
 
§ The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including price and structure, which were considered by the Company board of directors to provide a fair and equitable basis for the Acquisition;

-4-


Table of Contents

§ The current financial market conditions and historical stock market prices, volatility and trading information; and
 
§ The track record of Scott Glenn as a manager and entrepreneur.

                In arriving at its determination that the Acquisition is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, the board of directors carefully considered the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other transaction documents, as well as the potential impact of the purchase on the Company. In authorizing the sale, 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 Allergy Free’s product line, including the air filters, hypoallergenic bedding supplies, and water processors, as a result of the Acquisition;
 
§ Allergy Free’s expertise and experience in the consumer products business and technology markets in general; and
 
§ The opportunity to develop new products in the Allergen industry utilizing polymer technology;
 
§ Establishing the Royalty Liquidation Trust to collect payments, if any, required to be made to the Company pursuant to certain royalty contracts for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders, and to preserve the potential value of royalty rights for the Company’s shareholders as of September 30, 2004.
   
  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 Acquisition might not be fully realized;
 
§ the historical losses and financial condition of Allergy Free;
 
§ the substantial dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders;
 
§ the potential negative effect on the Company’s stock  price associated with public announcement of  the proposed Acquisition;
 
§ the potential  negative  effect  on  the Company’s  stock  price if revenue, earnings  and  cash  flow   expectations  of  the Company following the Acquisition are not met;
 
§ the potential dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock price if  revenue and  earnings expectations  for Allergy Free’s  business operations are not met;
 
§ the ability to successfully manage the combined operations of the Company and Allergy Free given the Company’s limited management resources; 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 Acquisition, 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 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 Asset Purchase Agreement and the related Acquisition were advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and that the Company should proceed with the Acquisition.

Background and Negotiations Related to the Acquisition

                The Company is an advanced materials company that has in the past developed and licensed unique hydro-soluable and biodegradable materials. The business cycle from product development to commercialization for the Company’s products proved to be significantly longer than anticipated, due in part to delays obtaining FDA

-5-

clearance for the Company’s Optigen product. As a result the Company has not developed regular revenue sources to support ongoing product development and commercialization. The Company’s stock price declined steadily and capital from the financial markets was not readily available. In light of the slow development of revenue sources from existing technology and financial market conditions, the Company had been regularly evaluating a wide variety of different strategies to increase revenue and achieve profitability, and business scenarios to enhance shareholder values, including opportunities for acquisitions of other companies or product lines, possible partnerships or alliances, and other strategic transactions. In particular, during 2003, the Company, considered and investigated other possible strategic transactions, including a possible transaction with The Benchmark Company, LLC (“Benchmark”).

                Beginning in the late Spring or early Summer 2003, Benchmark and the Company entered into preliminary negotiations whereby Benchmark proposed a common share offering for between $200,000 and $300,000. Benchmark and the Company were unable to reach agreement on the terms of the proposed offering. The Company ultimately decided in the Fall 2003, after several discussions not to pursue the transaction. While there were potential advantages to the Company had it completed the transaction including immediate available funds to the Company and Benchmark taking over administrative aspects of the Company’s business (i.e., SEC filings, etc.), the Company determined the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. The disadvantages considered by the Company included dilution, the costs associated with the transaction, and the lack of a definitive business plan following the transaction.

                After deciding not to pursue the Benchmark transaction, on or about November 4, 2003, Scott L. Glenn, the Managing Member of Allergy Free through his affiliated company S.R. Technologies, Inc., a California corporation, and H. Mac Busby, Chief Executive Officer and President, met at the offices of the Company’s counsel, Robert W. Blanchard, who also participated in the meeting. Dr. Robert J. Petcavich, Chairman of the Board, participated by conference telephone. Mr. Glenn and Mr. Busby were introduced to one another by the Company’s counsel Robert W. Blanchard. The Company, Allergy Free, Mr. Glenn, and Mr. Busby had no prior dealings with one another. The purpose of the meeting was to consider a possible transaction between the Company and Allergy Free.

                On November 8, 2003, Mr. Glenn and Dr. Petcavich met to discuss how the Company’s polymer technologies could be integrated into Allergy Free’s products. On November 20, 2004, Mr. Glenn, Mr. Busby and the Company’s counsel Robert W. Blanchard again met to discuss possible terms of the transaction and due diligence by both the Company and Allergy Free.

                In early December 2003, the Company received an inquiry from a Canadian company in the environmental technologies business, regarding acquiring the Company. After a couple of discussions and the exchange of a confidentiality agreement the discussions ended. The Company believes the potential acquirer lost interest in the Company when it became apparent that utilization of the Company’s tax loss carry forward would be significantly limited following completion of any acquisition.

                The Company’s management reviewed Allergy Free’s business plans and operations and determined that combining with Allergy Free was consistent with the Company’s strategy of acquiring or merging with an operating company to re-engage business operations. Similarly, Allergy Free’s management determined that combining with the Company represented the most desirable course of action for its members under current market conditions.

                On January 12, 2004, Mr. Busby, Rick Mager (a principal of Cove Partners) and Robert W. Blanchard, counsel to the Company met and participated in a conference call with Scott Glenn to discuss the valuation of the Company. On January 27, 2004, Mr. Glenn met with Mr. Busby and Mr. Blanchard at Mr. Blanchard’s office to negotiate an initial term sheet. For several weeks, representatives of Allergy Free and the Company negotiated the terms of the transaction and exchanged drafts of term sheets.

                On or about February 13, 2004, Allergy Free proposed a final draft term sheet based on the discussions between the parties. On or about February 17, 2004, the Company held a special meeting of its board of directors to consider the draft. On February 18, 2004, the board of directors met again and at that meeting, the directors reviewed the opportunity presented by Allergy Free, and resolved to approve the draft term sheet. On February 19, 2004 Allergy Free and the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent.

Table of Contents

                On March 3, 2004, Mr. Glenn and Allergy Free’s counsel, Glen Roberts met with Mr. Busby and Mr. Blanchard to discuss the final terms of the transaction. On March 16, 2004, the Company held a special meeting of its board of directors to discuss the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The meeting was attended by all members of the board, in addition Robert W. Blanchard, Esq., counsel to the Company was in attendance. After discussion and considering various issues, the board of directors voted unanimously to approve the Acquisition. The board of directors then directed to complete the negotiations with management of Allergy Free, and to execute the Asset Purchase Agreement, with such changes as deemed necessary and advisable by management of the Company.

                Late on March 18, 2004, the Asset Purchase Agreement and related documents were executed and delivered. There were no material changes in the final executed agreement and the initial term sheet executed February 13, 2004.

                On Monday, March 22, 2004, Allergy Free and the Company issued a public announcement of the Acquisition. In early June 2004 there were several conference calls between Allergy Free, its counsel, the Company, and its counsel to discuss amending the Asset Purchase Agreement. On June 11, 2004, Mr. Glenn and Mr. Busby met at the office of the Company’s counsel and amended the Asset Purchase Agreement. On October 6, 2004 Mr. Glenn and Mr. Busby agreed to further amend the Asset Purchase Agreement. The purpose of the amendments was to simplify the terms of the Subordinated Convertible Note (which is described in detail herein); confirm that shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004 are entitled to receive any payments made under the Ryer Note (which is described in detail herein); extend the date for the consummation of the Acquisition until at least November 30, 2004; to change the record date to September 30, 2004; and to set a per share price of $0.05 in the private placement (which is described in detail herein).

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 Acquisition is mailed to all the Company’s shareholders who did not vote in favor of the Acquisition.

Shares and Note Issued by Company as Consideration

                In full consideration for the assets purchased pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company plans to pay to Allergy Free the aggregate consideration as follows:

                In the Acquisition, the Company will issue and deliver to Allergy Free approximately 82,732,970 shares of the Company’s common stock. At Closing, the Company also agreed to issue and deliver to Allergy Free a Subordinated Convertible Note in the approximate amount of a $274,300 with interest at 5.5% per annum.

                The Company will assume approximately $701,229 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of June 30, 2004 (plus, all obligations arising under assumed contracts which arise after the Closing). Allergy Free will retain certain of its assets.

Liabilities to be assumed by the Company

                The Company will assume the following liabilities of Allergy Free as part of the Acquisition:

§ Accrued expenses (includes property and sales tax, legal and accounting, salaries, wages and employee expenses, commissions, insurance and similar expenses) totaling $239,713 as of June 30, 2004;
 
§ Advances From and Payable to Conception Technologies totaling $135,000 as of June 30, 2004; and

-9-


Table of Contents

§ Accounts Payable (includes trade, taxes, and royalties and similar payables) totaling $260,943 as of June 30, 2004.

                In addition, the assumed liabilities will include all obligations under contracts and commitments listed in the Asset Purchase Agreement which the Company intends to honor. Obligations arising under assumed contracts and other commitments after the Closing will consist principally of rent under the sublease for Allergy Free’s Premises in San Diego, California (approximately $6,244.00 per month), license fees for technology associated with the production of Allergy Free’s electrostatic filter at the rate of 1.65% of net filter sales, and obligations under supply, distribution, marketing and other service agreements arising in the ordinary course of business the obligations under which will depend on the volume of Company business and cannot be quantified at this time.

Material Tax Consequences to the Company and its Shareholders

                Although the Acquisition 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, in connection with the Acquisition the Company is proposing to distribute to a Royalty Liquidation Trust, cash received and the Company’s right to receive payments due it under certain contracts. The Trust is being established for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders who would receive distributions of royalty payments (less costs and expenses of administering the royalty contracts and trust) equal to the shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company on September 30, 2004.

                The transfer of the royalty rights to the Trust by the Company will be treated as a taxable disposition at the fair market value of the royalty rights and the Company will recognize taxable gain equal to the difference between the Company’s basis in the rights and the fair market value. The fair market value of the rights is highly speculative and the Company has not incurred the expense of obtaining an appraisal of the rights. While the Company will recognize a gain upon the distribution, the Company believes any gain will be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward.

                Additionally, the distribution to the Trust, may, at least in part, be considered a taxable dividend to shareholders, if, at the end of the year, the Company has earnings and profits. The Company has no accumulated earnings and profits from prior years, but it will not be known until the end of the calendar year whether or not the Company will have earnings and profits for the current year. The Company is not expecting earnings and profits for the current year to be material. However, it is possible the Company could report some dividend income to the shareholders. If so, it is also possible that the amount of dividend income reported will exceed cash distributions, if any, to shareholders from the Trust for the current year. Any part of each shareholder’s proportionate share of the distribution which is not treated as a dividend will first reduce each shareholders’ basis in their stock and any excess of distributions over basis will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property.

                Royalty payments received by the Trust from time to time will be taxable to the beneficiaries of the Trust, whether or not distributed. Subject to maintaining a $30,000 reserve for payment of fees and expenses, the Trustee of the Trust will distribute royalty payments received quarterly.

                THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MOREOVER, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME TAX OR ANY FOREIGN, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION. TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION TO YOU WILL DEPEND UPON THE FACTS OF YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY STRONGLY URGES YOU TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE ACQUISITION.

No Fairness Opinion

                The Company has not obtained the opinion of any financial advisor or other third party as to the fairness of the Acquisition to the shareholders of the Company from a financial point of view, or as to any other matters. The Company was advised by Cove Partners, LLC in connection with evaluating the transaction, but did not request or receive an opinion. The Company has already paid approximately $12,500 to Cove Partners for its advice to date, and the Company estimates the cost of a fairness opinion would be at least an additional $50,000 and could take four

-10-


Table of Contents

to six weeks to obtain. The board of directors of the Company did not believe that obtaining such an opinion would be an appropriate use of corporate funds, considering the limited financial resources of the Company. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors of the Company believes that the Acquisition is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.

                Because of the absence of a fairness opinion, there will be no independent assurance from an expert that the consummation of the Acquisition is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company.

Such events are described in the Note which is attached to the Asset Purchase Agreement. In the event of default, Allergy Free may declare all outstanding obligations payable by the Company under the Note to be immediately due and payable.

Employment Agreements

                The Company has agreed, following the Acquisition, to employ Scott Glenn (who is currently a member of Allergy Free) as its president and chief executive officer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase

-12-


Table of Contents

Agreement.  Scott Glenn has agreed to accept stock options equal to approximately five percent (5%) of the outstanding post closing shares of Planet (estimated to be options to purchase approximately 136,000 shares after taking into account the reverse stock split) in lieu of salary as compensation for his service as president and chief executive officer of the Company, until the Board of Directors determines that the Company can reasonably afford to pay executive cash compensation. Absent Mr. Glenn’s agreement to accept stock options in lieu of cash compensation, the Company expects it would have had to pay compensation of approximately $125,000 per year to its chief executive officer post closing of the Acquisition. The Company shall also extend an offer to employ most of the employees of Allergy Free, who will be determined by the Company and Allergy Free prior to completing the Acquisition. If these employees of Allergy Free accept the Company’s offer of employment, they will be employed on an “at-will” basis following the Acquisition.

(“Agrium”) to conduct development work in the use of coatings of fertilizer products. In June 1999, the Company entered into an Amending Agreement with Agrium to allow Planet and Agway to pursue the development of certain technologies involving controlled-released coatings.

                This coating technology is also utilized to control the release and transfer rates of nitrogen and oxygen, to assist in controlling the ripening of fruits and vegetables. Planet entered into a licensing agreement with Agway in 1999 to develop commercial coatings for use on fruits, vegetables, floral and nursery applications that has resulted in the launch, in October 2000, of FreshSeal® coating for use on fruits and vegetables. Agway is in the early stages of the extended multi-year commercial rollout of this product family. Agway’s product reception and success to date in the marketplace has been encouraging and resulted in a very modest royalty-generating license in 2001. Effective January 15, 2004, Agway sold its rights to FreshSeal® to BASF AG.

                The Company has also been highly engaged in development work with Agway since 1999 on the use of its controlled-release technology for animal feed. It is being evaluated as a specialty coating for urea to allow for more efficient, controlled release of nitrogen for dairy cows. The product named Optigen®1200 by Agway’s Country Products Group, was in field testing while it petitioned the FDA for product approval as a feed additive. Effective January 2004, Agway sold its rights to Optigen® to Alltech.

ALLERGY FREE’S BUSINESS

General

                Allergy Free is a California limited liability company formed October 11, 2000, which 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 and similar 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. Allergy Free’s business strategy is primarily based upon promotion of products directly to the consumer by telemarketing to its database of customers who have purchased the Allergy Free Electrostatic Filter. In addition, Allergy Free continues to pursue co-marketing opportunities with appropriate partners in order to increase consumer awareness and expand its customer base.

                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 quality, mold and mildew, dust mite exposure and other allergens. Market segments include; direct to consumer sales, physician directed sales and retail. Competitors include National Allergy Supply, Mission Allergy, Allergy Control Products, Allergy Buyers Club, 3M and Sharper Image.

Products and Technologies of Allergy Free

                There are over 40 million allergy sufferers in the US alone. The American College of Allergy and Immunology recommends avoidance as the first line of treatment. Allergy Free manufactures and distributes products to address three main allergen areas where avoidance products can provide reduced exposure. The categories are Airborne, Dust Mite/Dander, and Mold concerns.

                Airborne 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. Allergy Free currently markets three types of filters for forced heating and cooling systems along with vent filtration kits and HEPA room air cleaners.

§ 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 offering 2.5 times the filtering surface area of a flat filter while providing a low resistance that optimizes airflow. Allergy Free offers 45 standard sizes and can manufacture custom filters to meet almost any customer need. The filters have a ten-year warranty.
 
§ The newest filter marketed by Allergy Free is the Aller-Pure MAX- (Micro-Allergen Xtractor). The Aller-Pure MAX is rated at the highest level for residential filters. It is a pleated filter with actively electrostatic charged media. The filter life is 2-3 months and is sold in packages of 4 filters. Currently Allergy Free offers this filter in 9 standard sizes.
 
§ Allergy Free provides 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 Vent Filtration Kits. The vent kits are sold in one month and six weeks 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 six 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 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 a furnace filter, vent filters along with a freestanding HEPA room air cleaner.

                Dander, Dust and Dust Mite Product Category:  Microscopic bugs called dust mites produce potent allergens that thrive in places such as beds, upholstered furniture, and carpets and live on the skin cells that people and pets shed. Allergy Free 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 Allergy Free 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: Allergy Free offers products in this category from Whirlpool, Alkaline products and Ecology Works.
 
§ Carpet Treatments: Allergy Free 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: The Allerpet products are rubbed directly on to the animal and reduce the amount of dander.

                Mold 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. Allergy Free also recommends and sells mold-free shower curtains and mats.

Product Registrations

                Allergy Free does not directly manufacture any product requiring EPA or FDA registration. Allergy Free sells products that are registered by their manufacturers.

Licensed Technology and Intellectual Property

                Allergy Free 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 Allergy Free actively sells the Aller-Pure Gold Permanent filter. The agreement offers 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

                 Allergy Free currently works with other consultants, filter-testing labs, media manufactures and filter manufacturers to develop new enhanced filters and product line extensions. Annually Allergy Free spends $5,000-$15,000 per year on development efforts. Allergy Free is in the very early stages of developing a three-year life washable filter.

Government Requirements

                Allergy Free’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 become 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 may materially adversely affect Allergy Free and its clients include, but are not limited to: (1) subjecting a portion of Allergy Free’s call 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. Allergy Free believes it is in compliance with the amendments.

                The amendments to the TSR in 2003 may have a material impact on both Allergy Free’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 Allergy Free may call. Approximately seventy-percent (70%) of Allergy Free’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 Allergy Free. 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.

                Allergy Free specifically trains its telemarketing representatives to handle calls in an approved manner and believes it complies in all material respects with all federal and state telemarketing regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that Allergy Free would not be subject to regulatory challenge for a violation of federal or state law.

                Annual fees for federal registrations were $7300 for 2004 and proposed fees for 2005 are approximately $11,000. In addition, Allergy Free anticipates spending an additional approximately $5,000-$8,000 on state fees in 2005.

Customers of Allergy Free

                Allergy Free’s primary customer is the residential consumer. In excess of one million customers in this category have purchased products from Allergy Free. Additionally, but on a very limited basis, Allergy Free sells products to Physicians Offices as well as HVAC Service and Duct Cleaning businesses.

Suppliers of Allergy Free

                 Allergy Free acquires its products from a variety of manufacturers. The primary suppliers of Allergy Free include:

American Metal Filters (Permanent Electrostatic Filters)
Lifetime Filters (Disposable Filters)
J. Lamb (Bedding Encasings)
Austin Company (Room Air Cleaners)

Sales and Marketing

                Allergy Free employees manage sales and marketing functions. Outside resources are hired on an as-needed basis to augment the internal effort. Currently Allergy Free actively markets on the Internet, through catalog sales, inbound and outbound telemarketing. Allergy Free is engaged in a market test program funded by Clorox Corporation that includes limited infomercial, newspaper, radio and Internet advertising. Allergy Free is the acting call center and lead fulfillment house for this program. All leads generated by these efforts are the co-property of Allergy Free and Clorox. Allergy Free retains seventy to eighty five percent of all revenue generated as results of these efforts.

Employees of Allergy Free

                As of April 1, 2004, Allergy Free had 10 full time and 4 part-time employees.

Properties

Table of Contents

                The Allergy Free office is located in approximately 5300 square feet of leased office space in San Diego, California, subject to a month-to-month sublease. The monthly rental payment is $6,244.28 triple net. The Company also has approximately 16,000 square feet in Houston, Texas, where, until March 2004, the Company housed its filter manufacturing, shipping and receiving and sales efforts. The facility was closed in February 2004, and all operations were moved to the San Diego location. The Houston lease expires in June 2004. The monthly rental is $9,416.30 triple net.

Legal Proceedings

                From time to time Allergy Free is subject to lawsuits and claims, which arise out of its operations in the normal course of business. Currently, Allergy Free is unaware of any pending lawsuits against it, but is unable to predict if other claims, lawsuits, or other matters will be filed which will significantly impact its operations and financial position.

ALLERGY FREE’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                Allergy Free’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Allergy Free’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.

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. Allergy Free evaluates its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Allergy Free bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Allergy Free’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 Allergy Free anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change Allergy Free’s reported results. Allergy Free believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to Allergy Free, in that they are important to the portrayal of its financial statements and they require Allergy Free’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of its financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

                Allergy Free recognizes revenue on its products when the product is shipped. Allergy Free accrues a provision for estimated returns concurrent with revenue recognition

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, Allergy Free 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, Allergy Free may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Statements of Operations Data

                The following tables set forth the percentage of net revenues represented by certain items in Allergy Free’s Statement of Operations for the periods indicated.

                Allergy Free’s 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 to the decision to discontinue the national radio advertising campaign in April 2003.

                Cost of sales decreased 39.7% from $1,255,088 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $756,513 for the year ended December 31, 2003, due to the associated decrease in sales revenue (units sold). Overall gross profits, as a percentage of sales, was relatively constant for the years ended 2003 and 2002, at 66.5% and 66.9%, 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 35.2% from $2,904,389 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,882,423 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Of this $1,021,966 decrease, $939,000 was due to discontinuing the national radio advertising campaign and $15,259 due to a reduction in lease expense in Houston, where the Company down-sized into a smaller portion of the existing space.

                The Other Income/ (Expense) category mainly includes interest expense which totaled $189,489 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 calendar year.

Table of Contents

$720,438 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was due to the decision to discontinue the national radio advertising campaign in April 2003.

                Cost of Sales decreased 39.8% from $418,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $251,895 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to the associated decrease in sales revenue (units sold). Overall gross profit, as a percentage of sales, totaled 65.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 68.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This change is due to a shift in product mix in the first quarter of 2004 and slightly 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 2003, and has adjusted its marketing strategies so as to emphasize filter sales, a higher margin item.

                Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased by 30.5% from $1,156,343_ for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $803,464 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Of the $352,879 decrease, $238,637 was attributable to discontinuing the national radio advertising campaign.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

                Cash and cash equivalents increased by $57,847 to $128,005 at December 31, 2003 compared to $70,158 at December 31, 2002. Although the Company used cash totaling $110,897 in its operations for the period, an advance from a related party of $65,000 and proceeds of $297,000 from notes payable drove the increase. Cash was also affected by payments totaling $190,164 on a restructured line of credit with a financial institution and a vendor promissory note.

                Inventories at December 31, 2003 decreased $36,643 or 30% to $84,140 compared to $120,783 at December 31, 2002. It has been management’s strategy to carry lower levels of inventory and as sales and customer demand slipped from 2002 to 2003, those lower levels were achievable.

                Other current assets, including prepaid expenses and other receivables, decreased $25,490 from $37,211 on December 31, 2002 to $11,721 at December 31, 2003. This decrease was largely due to the timing of billings and payments in 2002 for rent and health benefit plans.

                Interest payable totaled $201,446 at December 31, 2003 compared to $69,229 at December 31, 2002. This $132,217 increase is primarily related to the accrued but unpaid interest on investor’s notes payable. Prior to mid-2002, monthly and quarterly interest payments were made by the Company.

                Cash and cash equivalents totaled $47,863 at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $80,142 from December 31, 2003. Cash was negatively affected by losses in its operations, and was also impacted by notes payable reductions of $162,219. These negative impacts were offset somewhat by proceeds of $75,000 from investors and a $70,000 advance from a related party.

                Inventories decreased $62,259 from $84,140 at December 31, 2003 to $21,880 at June 30, 2004. The Company sold its raw material inventory to a contract manufacturer in February 2004; the contract manufacturer began manufacturing the Company’s permanent filter line in March 2004. The Company has also carried lower levels of inventory in 2004, as sales levels have decreased.

                The Company incurred $21,886 in legal expenses related to the acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This expense is carried as a deferred asset on the balance sheet.

                Allergy Free does not believe that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated revenue will satisfy Allergy Free’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through December 31, 2004. If the Acquisition is approved, the Company and Allergy Free plan to seek additional Capital through a private placement offering to close concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition to provide operating capital and funds of up to $2.0 million to further support sales and marketing efforts and new product development.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

                In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. This statement is designed to improve financial reporting such that contracts with comparable characteristics are accounted for similarly. The statement, which is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, is not anticipated to have a significant effect on Allergy Free’s financial position or results of operations.

                In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Allergy Free currently has no such financial instruments outstanding or under consideration and therefore adoption of this standard currently has no financial reporting implications.

                In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Valuable Interest Entities. This interpretation clarifies rules relating to consolidation where entities are controlled by means other than a majority voting interest and instances in which equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. This interpretation is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for interests acquired prior to February 1, 2003. Allergy Free currently has no ownership in variable interest entities and therefore adoption of this standard currently has no financial reporting implications.

THE COMPANY’S UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                On March 22, 2004, Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet”) and Allergy Free, L.L.C. (“Allergy”) announced that on March 18, 2004, they had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) as amended on June 11, 2004 and October 6, 2004, in which Planet will acquire all assets of and assume certain of the liabilities of Allergy for which Planet will provide the following consideration: a subordinated note in the principal amount of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three years and 82,732,970 shares of common stock of Planet. As a result, after the closing of the Agreement, the stockholders of Allergy will own approximately 92.7% of the voting shares of Planet. Since the stockholders of Allergy will receive the majority of the voting shares of Planet, the current president of Allergy will become the president of the Company and since representatives of Allergy will hold three of the five seats on the Company’s Board of Directors, the merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy, whereby Allergy will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Planet will be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).

                Immediately prior to the closing, Planet will distribute to a trustee for the benefit of Planet 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. Accordingly, at the closing, Planet will be a non-operating shell corporation no longer meeting the definition of a business, as defined in EITF Consensus 98-3. Therefore, the transaction will be accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy. This transaction is equivalent to Allergy issuing stock for the net liabilities of Planet, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that there are no adjustments to the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities. Additionally, any direct costs of the transaction are charged to equity, but only to the extent of Planet’s cash. Costs in excess of cash received are charged to expense.

                The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004, combine the historical statements of operations of Allergy and Planet giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2003. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet combines the historical balance sheet of Allergy and the historical balance sheet of Planet, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2004.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On March 18, 2004, Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet”) and Allergy Free, L.L.C. (“Allergy”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) as amended on June 11, 2004 and October 6, 2004, in which Planet will acquire all assets of Allergy for which Planet will provide the following consideration: a subordinated note in the principal amount of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three years and 82,732,970 shares of common stock of Planet. As a result, after the closing of the Agreement and the conversion of the notes and related interest, the stockholders of Allergy will own approximately 92.7% of the voting shares of Planet. Since the stockholders of Allergy will receive the majority of the voting shares of Planet, Allergy will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Planet will be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Since at the closing, Planet will be a non-operating shell corporation no longer meeting the definition of a business, as defined by EITF Consensus 98-3, the transaction will be accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy. This transaction is equivalent to Allergy issuing stock for the net liabilities of Planet, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that there are no adjustments to the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities. Additionally, any direct costs of the transaction are charged to equity, but only to the extent of Planet’s cash. Costs in excess of cash received are charged to expense.

(2) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
 
(a) Immediately prior to the closing, Planet will distribute to a trustee for the benefit of Planet shareholders of record as of April 15, 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. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the assets being distributed have been removed from the pro forma condensed combined amounts.
 
(b) To record the estimated additional costs of completing the transaction and to write off the costs of the transaction with a portion being charged to Additional Paid in Capital equal to the cash of Planet being transferred to the continuing entity.
 
(c) The transaction is structured as a purchase of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Allergy by Planet, but the transaction will be accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy. This entry removes the liabilities that are to remain with Allergy Free LLC after the transaction thereby treating such debt as a capital contribution to Allergy. Interest expense associated with this debt has not been removed from the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 or six months ended June 30, 2004 to reflect the fact that historically Allergy has financed its operations through borrowings and that it is presumed some level of borrowings will be needed in the future to support future operations. The actual amount of interest that may be incurred to finance operations may be different from the amount presented.
 
(d) To eliminate the historical stockholders’ equity accounts of Planet, the accounting acquiree. This adjustment also includes an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $51,927 representing the net liabilities of Planet to be assumed by Allergy.
 
(e) To record the issuance of a subordinated note in the principal amount of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable within three years. This amount

-29-


Table of Contents

  is due to Allergy Free LLC and, after issuance, represents an asset of Allergy that is not being transferred in the merger.
 
(f) To record interest expense associated with the debt issued in the acquisition.
 
(g) To transfer the balance in the Additional Paid in Capital account to Common Stock to reflect the fact that the common stock of the surviving entity has no par value. Allergy Free has been historically capitalized by loans from its members and members have made no capital contributions. The business reason loans were made by members instead of capital contributions was to provide for repayment of these amounts with interest prior to any other distributions to members.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ACQUISITION

                Q:            WHY IS THE COMPANY PURCHASING SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE ASSETS OF ALLERGY FREE?

                A:            The Company and Allergy Free are proposing to combine their business operations by having the Company purchase substantially all of the assets of Allergy Free. We believe the Company’s acquisition of Allergy Free’s business will provide the Company with an operating business complementary with certain of the polymer

-30-


Table of Contents

technologies the Company has developed or may develop. The Company’s current business has been limited to licensing technology to third parties.

                Q.            WHAT ASSETS ARE BEING SOLD TO THE COMPANY IN THE ACQUISITION?

                A:            In the Acquisition, the Company will acquire substantially all of the assets used by Allergy Free in the operation of its business.

                Q:            WHAT WILL ALLERGY FREE RECEIVE IN THE ACQUISITION?

                A:            In the Acquisition, the Company will issue and deliver to Allergy Free approximately 82,732,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment as provided below. At Closing, the Company will also issue and deliver to Allergy Free a Subordinated Convertible Note in the approximate principal amount of a $274,300.

                The Company will assume approximately $701,229 of Allergy Free’s liabilities as of March 31, 2004 (plus, all obligations arising under assumed contracts which arise after the Closing).

                Q:            HOW WILL THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS BE AFFECTED BY THE ACQUISITION?

                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 Acquisition, except as adjusted by the 50 to 1 reverse stock split pursuant to Proposal No. 3. Each share of the Company common stock, however, will represent a substantially smaller ownership percentage of a significantly larger company. Additionally, the Company is proposing to distribute to a Royalty Liquidation Trust (See Proposal 2) the Company’s right to receive payments, if any, due it under certain contracts. The Trust is being established for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders who will receive distributions of any such payments,(less costs and expenses of administering the Trust) equal to the shareholder’s pro-rata ownership interest in the Company on September 30, 2004.

                Q:            WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION TO THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS?

                A:            Although the Acquisition 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, in connection with the Acquisition the Company is proposing to distribute to a Royalty Liquidation Trust, cash received and the Company’s right to receive payments due it under certain contracts. The Trust is being established for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders who would receive distributions of royalty payments (less costs and expenses of administering the royalty contracts and trust) equal to the shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company on September 30, 2004.

                The transfer of the royalty rights to the Trust by the Company will be treated as a taxable disposition at the fair market value of the royalty rights and the Company will recognize taxable gain equal to the difference between the Company’s basis in the rights and the fair market value. The fair market value of the rights is highly speculative and the Company has not incurred the expense of obtaining an appraisal of the rights. While the Company will recognize a gain upon the distribution, the Company believes any gain will be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating losses.

                Additionally, the distribution to the Trust, may, at least in part, be considered a taxable dividend to shareholders, if, at the end of the year, the Company has earnings and profits. The Company has no accumulated earnings and profits from prior years, but it will not be known until the end of the calendar year whether or not the Company will have earnings and profits for the current year. The Company is not expecting earnings and profits for the current year to be material. However, it is possible the Company could report some dividend income to the shareholders. If so, it is also possible that the amount of dividend income reported will exceed cash distributions, if any, to shareholders from the Trust for the current year. Any part of each shareholder’s proportionate share of the distribution which is not treated as a dividend will first reduce each shareholders’ basis in their stock and any excess of distributions over basis will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property.

Table of Contents

                Royalty payments received by the Trust from time to time will be taxable to the beneficiaries of the Trust, whether or not distributed. Subject to maintaining a reserve for payment of fees and expenses, the Trustee of the Trust will distribute royalty payments received quarterly.

                THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MOREOVER, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME TAX OR ANY FOREIGN, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION. TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION TO YOU WILL DEPEND UPON THE FACTS OF YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY STRONGLY URGES YOU TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE ACQUISITION.

                Q:            WHAT SHAREHOLDER VOTES ARE NEEDED TO APPROVE THE ACQUISITION?

                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 Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Allergy Free.

                Q:            WHEN DOES THE COMPANY EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION?

                A:            The Company and Allergy Free are working to complete the Acquisition as quickly as possible. We expect to complete the Acquisition 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 Acquisition 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 Acquisition and who notify the Company in writing of their intent to demand payment of their shares if the Acquisition is consummated, may, by complying with Sections 1300 through 1312 of the California Corporations Code, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “F”, 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 Acquisition is mailed to all the Company’s shareholders who did not vote in favor of the Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITION

                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 ALLERGY FREE’S OPERATIONS AND DEVELOP NEW INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS.

                Achieving the benefits of the Acquisition will depend in part on growing Allergy Free’s operations and developing new, innovative products. In order for the Company to provide enhanced and more valuable products to customers after the Acquisition, the Company intends to develop new product lines utilizing polymer technologies. This integration may be difficult and unpredictable because the Company’s technology and Allergy Free’s products are highly complex, have been developed independently and were designed without regard to integration. Successful development of new products will require extensive development activities, as well as sales and marketing efforts and personnel. If the Company cannot successfully develop new products and expand Allergy Free’s business, the Company may not realize the expected benefits of the Acquisition.

-33-


Table of Contents

                ALLERGY FREE HAS A HISTORY OF LOSSES.

                The Company intends to integrate and enhance Allergy Free’s current product line with its polymer technologies. However, Allergy Free has not been profitable and has a history of financial loss. Because Allergy Free has a history of financial loss, there is a risk whether the Company will be able to enhance Allergy Free’s current product line and make such product line profitable for the Company. If the Company cannot successfully develop new products and expand Allergy Free’s existing products and business, the Company may not realize the expected benefits of the Acquisition.

                THE ACQUISITION WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO THE COMPANY AND ALLERGY FREE, WHETHER OR NOT THE ACQUISITION IS COMPLETED.

                The Acquisition will result in significant costs to the Company and Allergy Free. Transaction costs are estimated to be at least $150,000. 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 Acquisition is completed. In addition, if the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay a $50,000 termination fee and/or a $25,000 due diligence fee.

                FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.

                If the Acquisition is not completed for any reason, the Company’s stock price may decline because costs related to the Acquisition, such as legal and accounting, must be paid even if the Acquisition is not completed. In addition, if the Acquisition is not completed, the Company’s stock price may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Acquisition will be completed.

                CERTAIN DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY MAY HAVE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN RECOMMENDING THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISITION.

                Two of the directors of the Company who recommend that you vote in favor of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the related Acquisition are expected to join the board of directors of the combined Company immediately upon consummation of the Acquisition. In addition, Dr. Robert Petcavich will be entering into a consulting agreement with the Company. As a result, they may have interests in the Acquisition that differ from yours. The receipt of any compensation as a result of election to the combined Company’s board of directors or any consulting position with the Company may influence these directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition.

                AFFILIATES OF THE COMPANY’S LAW FIRM HAVE INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY AND IN ALLERGY FREE

                Affiliates of Blanchard, Krasner and French (the law firm which serves as counsel to the Company in this transaction) own stock in the Company and have interests in and hold notes of Allergy Free. Additionally, Blanchard, Krasner and French represents Allergy Free in other matters unrelated to the proposed Acquisition. Allergy Free has retained other counsel to represent its interests in matters and issues related to the Acquisition.

                IF THE CONDITIONS TO THE ACQUISITION ARE NOT MET, THE ACQUISITION WILL NOT OCCUR.

                Specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Acquisition. These conditions are summarized in the section captioned “Conditions to Completion of the Acquisition” and are described in detail in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company cannot assure you that each of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Acquisition will not occur or will be delayed and the Company may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Acquisition.

-34-


Table of Contents

                THE COMPANY AND ALLERGY FREE MAY WAIVE ONE OR MORE OF THE CONDITIONS TO THE ACQUISITION WITHOUT RESOLICITING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL FOR THE ACQUISITION.

                Each of the conditions to the Company’s and Allergy Free’s obligations to complete the Acquisition may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, by agreement of the Company and Allergy Free. 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 Acquisition without seeking further shareholder approval.

                SALES OF ALLERGY FREE’S PRODUCTS COULD DECLINE OR BE INHIBITED IF CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS ARE DISRUPTED BY THE ACQUISITION.

                The Acquisition may have the effect of disrupting customer relationships. Allergy Free’s customers or potential customers may delay or alter buying patterns during the pendency of and following the Acquisition. Customers may defer purchasing decisions as they evaluate the likelihood of successful completion of the Acquisition. Allergy Free’s customers or potential customers may instead purchase products of competitors. Any significant delay or reduction in orders for Allergy Free’s products could cause the Company’s sales, following the Acquisition, to decline.

                THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL POSITIONS HAVE DETERIORATED SIGNIFICANTLY.

                The Company’s business and financial position has deteriorated significantly. The Company effectively had no business operations and no employees as of the date of this Proxy Statement. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14,339,616. The Company’s financial resources when combined with Allergy Free are inadequate to expand the combined business without additional capital. If the Company cannot raise additional capital the Company may not be able to continue Allergy Free’s business operations.

                The Company’s independent accountants’ opinion on its 2003 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue long term as a going concern, the Company will have to increase its sales, decrease its costs, and raise additional equity financing, and/or raise new debt financing. The Company may not accomplish these tasks.

                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 acquisition agreements, in addition to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Allergy Free, 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 acquisitions 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 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 and Allergy Free’s history of substantial operating losses could also severely limit the

-35-


Table of Contents

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 October 1, 2004, the last reported sale price of the Company common stock was $.05. 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 Allergy Free and shares issued as part of the Private Placement. 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 Acquisition 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 asset purchase of Allergy Free, the Company intends to issue approximately 82,732,970 shares of common stock to Allergy Free and a Subordinate Convertible Note, in an approximate principal amount of $274,300 with interest at 5.5% per annum.

                Upon completion of the 50 to 1 Reverse Stock Split and the Acquisition, the Company will have over 18,000,000 shares available for issuance. The Company may use these shares to conduct additional financing transactions in which shares of the Company common stock or other securities that are convertible or exercisable for shares of the Company common stock. At the current market price of the Company common stock, any additional financing that involves the issuance of Company common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for the Company common stock will result in significant dilution to the Company’s shareholders, including Allergy Free following the Acquisition.

                Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to seek to raise in a private placement up to an additional $2.0 million. The Company will offer its shareholders and members of Allergy Free the opportunity to purchase from the Company the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase Price equal to $0.05 per share. Based on the per share price of $0.05, if the offering is fully subscribed, the Company will issue approximately 40,000,000 shares. If the private offering is over subscribed shares will be first offered to Planet shareholders as of September 30, 2004, then to existing Allergy Free investors, and then to other investors.

                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 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.

                THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROYALTY LIQUIDATION TRUST COULD RESULT IN TAX LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY.

                The transfer of royalty rights to the Trust by the Company will be treated as a taxable disposition at the fair market value of the royalty rights and the Company will recognize taxable gain equal to the difference between the Company’s basis in the rights and the fair market value. The fair market value of the rights is highly speculative and the Company has not incurred the expense of obtaining an appraisal of the rights. While the Company will recognize a gain upon the distribution, the Company believes any gain will be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating losses.

                THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROYALTY LIQUIDATION TRUST COULD RESULT IN TAX LIABILITY TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.

                Although the Acquisition 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, in connection with the Acquisition the Company is proposing to distribute to a Royalty Liquidation Trust, cash received and the Company’s right to receive payments due it under certain contracts. The Trust is being established for the benefit of the Company’s current shareholders who would receive distributions of royalty payments (less costs and expenses of administering the royalty contracts and trust) equal to the shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company on September 30, 2004.

                The transfer of the royalty rights to the Trust by the Company will be treated as a taxable disposition at the fair market value of the royalty rights and the Company will recognize taxable gain equal to the difference between the Company’s basis in the rights and the fair market value. The fair market value of the rights is highly speculative and the Company has not incurred the expense of obtaining an appraisal of the rights. While the Company will recognize a gain upon the distribution, the Company believes any gain will be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating losses.

                Additionally, the distribution to the Trust, may, at least in part, be considered a taxable dividend to shareholders, if, at the end of the year, the Company has earnings and profits. The Company has no accumulated earnings and profits from prior years, but it will not be known until the end of the calendar year whether or not the Company will have earnings and profits for the current year. The Company is not expecting earnings and profits for the current year to be material. However, it is possible the Company could report some dividend income to the shareholders. If so, it is also possible that the amount of dividend income reported will exceed cash distributions, if any, to shareholders from the Trust for the current year. Any part of each shareholder’s proportionate share of the distribution which is not treated as a dividend will first reduce each shareholders’ basis in their stock and any excess of distributions over basis will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property.

                Royalty payments received by the Trust from time to time will be taxable to the beneficiaries of the Trust, whether or not distributed. Subject to maintaining a reserve for payment of fees and expenses, the Trustee of the Trust will distribute royalty payments received quarterly.

PROPOSAL 2

DISTRIBUTION OF ROYALTY RIGHTS

                The Board of Directors of the Company, subject to affirmative votes in favor of Proposals 1 through 4, intends to form a trust for the benefit of holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2004 (the “Trust”). The Board of Directors of the Company, subject to shareholder approval of Proposals 1 through 4, further intend to distribute certain cash received and the right to receive all royalties payable to the Company pursuant to those certain sale and licensing agreements between the Company and Agway, Inc., relating to the Company’s FreshSeal and Optigen technology (the “Agway Agreements”) and that certain purchase, sale and license agreement between the Company and Ryer Enterprises, LLC (who assigned, with Planet’s approval, its rights and obligations to Ryer, Inc.), relating to the Company’s MIM technology (the “Ryer Agreement”). A copy of the Trust is attached as Exhibit “D” to this Proxy Statement and the description of the Trust set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Trust.

Description of the Trust

                The Declaration of Trust nominates as the initial trustee U.S. Bank. The Trust document directs the trustee to distribute royalties and other payments, including Ryer note payments, if any, received from the Agway Agreements and Ryer Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Sale and Licensing Agreements”) pro rata to the beneficiaries of the Trust on a quarterly basis (less amounts required to pay costs and expenses of the Trust and maintain a reserve to pay costs and expenses).

                The trustee shall maintain a $30,000 cash reserve (which reserve amount may be increased if it is mutually determined by the trustee and the Company that the reserve needs to be increased) from which the trustee may pay its trustee fees, fees of the trust administrator and reimburse costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, Administrator or Company in connection with enforcing payment of the royalties and Ryer note payments or any obligations under the Sale and Licensing Agreements. In the event pursuant to the Sale and Licensing Agreements, the Company recovers the exclusive or non exclusive rights to exploit technologies under the Sale and Licensing Agreements, the Company may do so for its own account with no obligation to pay royalties to the trustee of the trust.

                The Trust will be administered by an administrator, Planet Royalty Administrator, LLC (“Administrator”), who will service and administer and collect payments due under the sale and Licensing Agreements and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. The Administrator is also authorized to execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Sale and Licensing Contracts and, after default of the Sale and Licensing Contracts to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to the Sale and Licensing Contracts. Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement, from amounts otherwise distributable to Beneficiaries, of all expenses and liabilities incurred by Administrator in connection with its efforts to collect the royalty rights, and enforce the provisions of the Sale and Licensing Contracts. The Administrator shall also be entitled to be paid reasonable compensation for administration of the Trust not to exceed the lesser of (i) $10,000 per year, or (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of Net Royalties received by the Trust for such year, payable quarterly. Each Quarter the Administrator will forward to the Trustee a report settling forth (i) the aggregate amount of collections received by Administrator, if any, during the preceding quarter, and (ii) a description of collection expenses or other sums, if any, for which Administrator is claiming reimbursement.

        Under the terms of the Agway Agreements, the Company retained the exclusive right to utilize the intellectual property related to the FreshSeal and Optigen technology outside of the food and agricultural fields of business, which rights the Company will retain and are not being assigned to the Trust. In addition, if a counter party to one of the sale and licensing agreements chooses to abandon the technology or is in material default in the payment of

-38-


Table of Contents

royalties, that sale and licensing agreement could terminate and the Company by that event would recover the technology previously sold and licensed. The Company has not assigned to the Trust the right to recover technologies under those circumstances and would retain such technology solely for the Company’s benefit.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT TRUST

                Q:            WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ROYALTY LIQUIDATION TRUST?

                A:            Prior to the Acquisition, the Company entered into certain licensing agreements with Agway, Inc. and Ryer Enterprises, LLC whereby the Company licensed its technology to the outside companies (the “Royalty Contacts”). As a part of the Royalty Contracts, the Company has the potential to receive future royalty payments. The amount of such royalty payments is speculative and subject to a number of uncertainties.

                The Company and Allergy Free agreed to exclude the Royalty Contracts, and any potential royalty and Ryer note payments, from the Acquisition. Instead, the Company has proposed the establishment of the Royalty Liquidation Trust (“Trust”) for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders as of September 30, 2004. The sole purpose of the Trust is to collect royalties, if any, due under the Royalty Contract’s and distribute any such payments along with cash received by Planet in payment of the Ryer Note, less certain expenses, to the shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004 who would become beneficiaries (“Beneficiaries”) under the Trust.

                Q:            IF THE TRUST IS ESTABLISHED, WHO WOULD OWN THE ROYALTY RIGHTS UNDER THE ROYALTY CONTRACTS?

                A:            Technically, the Trust would own the right to receive royalty and note payments and the companies owing payments under the Royalty Contracts will be instructed to issue such payments in the name of the Trust. However, the Trust is being established solely for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders as of September 30, 2004 and the payments (after paying or providing for costs and expenses) would be distributed on a pro-rata basis to those shareholders.

                Q:            WHO WOULD ADMINISTER THE TRUST?

                A:            Under the terms of the Trust, Planet Royalty Administrator, LLC (“Administrator”), would administer the Trust. The sole managers and members of the Administrator are Dr. Robert Petcavich and Mr. H. Mac Busby, both directors of the Company. The Administrator would be responsible for collecting payments due under the Royalty Contracts and monitoring compliance with other obligations under the Royalty Contracts.

                Q:            WHO WILL ACT AS TRUSTEE?

                A:            Under the terms of the Trust, US Bank would serve as trustee (“Trustee”).

                Q:            WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PAYMENTS COLLECTED?

                A:            BASF, Alltech, and Ryer, Inc. will be instructed to make royalty and note payments directly to the trustee. If a payment is not received, the Administrator will evaluate what actions should be taken, if any, and if appropriate, take action to collect payments and report such payments, if any, received to the Trustee on a quarterly basis. The Trustee is to establish a collection account in which all funds collected will be held in certificates of deposit, demand deposits, time deposits in , and money market funds issued by the trustee. After paying costs and expenses of administration of the royalty contracts and trust, the Trustee will make distributions to the Beneficiaries of the Trust on a quarterly basis.

                Q:            ARE THE TRUSTEE AND ADMINISTRATOR PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES?

                A:    Under the terms of the Trust, the Trustee will be paid $15,000 per year for its service as Trustee, and will also be entitled to reimbursement of expenses, and compensation for extraordinary services rendered by the Trustee. The Administrator and Planet will be entitled to reimbursement from royalty payments and any other amounts held by the trust for all expenses incurred in collecting royalty payments, enforcing the Royalty Contracts, and performing any obligations required to be performed by Planet under the Royalty Contracts. The Administrator will

-39-


Table of Contents

also be entitled to be paid reasonable compensation for administration of the Trust not to exceed the lesser of (i) $10,000, or (ii) 25% of the net payments received by the Trust for a particular year.

                Q:            HOW WILL AVAILABLE FUNDS BE ALLOCATED?

                A:           

§ First, to Trustee
 
§ Second, to the Company (as grantor) in the unlikely event it incurs expenses.
 
§ Third, to Administrator
 
§ Fourth, to Beneficiary

                Q:            HOW WILL I RECEIVE PAYMENT?

                A:            Distributions will be made by check and mailed to Beneficiaries. If any distribution to a Beneficiary would be less than a minimal amount still to be determined (other than a final distribution), the Trustee shall hold such payment until a payment in an amount more than the minimal amount, which said greater amount is still to be determined, can be made.

                Q:            WILL BENEFICIARIES RECEIVE ANNUAL STATEMENTS?

                A:            On or before February 15 of each calendar year, the Trustee will forward to each Beneficiary a statement setting forth, among other information, the total amount collected during the previous calendar year; the total amount distributed during the previous calendar year; the amount of such distribution allocable to royalty payments received by the Trust; the amount of such distribution allocable to other payments received by the Trust; a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Trust; a description of any change in the assets of the Trust and any actions taken by the trustee with respect to the assets of the Trust; and other relevant information. Additionally, the Trustee shall deliver to the beneficiaries such interim reports as may be necessary or advisable to inform beneficiaries of significant events relating to Trust.

                Q:            ARE MY INTERESTS IN THE TRUST TRANSFERABLE?

                A:            No beneficial interest in the Trust will be transferable except upon death or by operation of law. The purpose behind making the beneficial interests non-transferable (except in case of death or by operation of law) is because the amount of money to be received under the Royalty Contracts is unknown. If the beneficial interests were transferable, they would be subject to SEC registration requirements. If the Trust were required to comply with SEC rules and regulations regarding registration, the additional fees and expenses of regulatory compliance would materially diminish or eliminate distributions available from the Trust.

                Q:            WILL I RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE INDICATING MY OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE TRUST?

                A:            No certificates or other indication of ownership will be issued. The Trustee will maintain a register which will show the shareholders of record on September 30, 2004 and their respective interests in the Trust, based upon the number of shares of common stock owned on September 30, 2004.

                Q:            WHAT IS THE EXPECTED DURATION OF THE TRUST?

                A:            The Trust will be limited in duration and will expire upon the earlier of: (i) November 17, 2007 unless extended (“Final Trust Termination Date”); or (ii) the day following any Payment Date on or after 5 years from the initial date of the Trust if there have been no net royalties for six consecutive calendar quarters immediately proceeding such Payment Date; or (iii) when it has been determined that all royalties and remedies to enforce such rights have been reasonably exhausted or are of no material value and not reasonably collectable. The Final Trust Termination Date may be extended for one (1) or more 3-year extension periods (or such shorter or longer period as may be allowed by “no action” assurances obtained by the Administrator from the SEC) provided the Administrator certifies to the Trustee that: (i) the Royalty Contracts have commercially reasonable value and that collections with respect to the Royalty Contracts are reasonably expected to exceed the Trustee’s fee and other costs and expenses of

administering the Trust; and (ii) a “no action” assurance from the SEC that it will not recommend enforcement action if the Final Trust Termination Date is extended for such additional period.

                In the event the Administrator reasonably believes the Trust will terminate prior to the date the last of the Royalty Contract terminates and the Administrator believes the remaining royalty rights have commercial value, the Administrator shall take reasonable steps to solicit cash offers to purchase the Royalty Rights. In the event the Administrator or Trustee receive one or more cash offers to purchase all or any portion of the Royalty Rights, on or before ninety (90) days after the Termination Date of the Trust, the Administrator and Trustee shall take all reasonable steps to accept such offer or offers and consummate such a sale.

                Q:            WHO WILL DETERMINE THAT THE ROYALTIES AND REMEDIES TO ENFORCE SUCH RIGHTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED OR ARE OF NO MATERIAL VALUE?

                A:            The Company (as grantor), the Trustee, and the Administrator must all agree.

                Q:            WHAT RIGHTS DO I, AS A BENEFICIARY, HAVE IF I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUSTEE OR ADMINISTRATOR, OR IF I WANT TO ENFORCE MY RIGHTS UNDER THE TRUST?

                A:            If 3 or more beneficiaries holding 5% or more of the beneficial interests in the Trust apply to the Trustee and state that such beneficiaries would like to communicate with other beneficiaries regarding their rights under the Trust agreement, the Trustee must cause to be made available to such Beneficiaries such contact information of other Beneficiaries. Beneficiaries owning not less than 66 2/3% of the interests in the Trust can direct the Trustee to act or excuse its promise under the trust agreement.

RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TRUST

                THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROYALTY LIQUIDATION TRUST COULD RESULT IN TAX LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS

                The transfer of the royalty rights to the Trust by the Company will be treated as a taxable disposition at the fair market value of the royalty rights and the Company will recognize taxable gain equal to the difference between the Company’s basis in the rights and the fair market value. The fair market value of the rights is highly speculative and the Company has not incurred the expense of obtaining an appraisal of the rights. While the Company will recognize a gain upon the distribution, the Company believes any gain will be substantially offset by the Company’s net operating losses.

                Additionally, the distribution to the Trust, may, at least in part, be considered a taxable dividend to shareholders, if, at the end of the year, the Company has earnings and profits. The Company has no accumulated earnings and profits from prior years, but it will not be known until the end of the calendar year whether or not the Company will have earnings and profits for the current year. The Company is not expecting earnings and profits for the current year to be material. However, it is possible the Company could report some dividend income to the shareholders. If so, it is also possible that the amount of dividend income reported will exceed cash distributions, if any, to shareholders from the Trust for the current year. Any part of each shareholder’s proportionate share of the distribution which is not treated as a dividend will first reduce each shareholders’ basis in their stock and any excess of distributions over basis will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of property.

                Royalty payments received by the Trust from time to time will be taxable to the beneficiaries of the Trust, whether or not distributed. Subject to maintaining a reserve for payment of fees and expenses, the Trustee of the Trust will distribute royalty payments received quarterly.

                THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MOREOVER, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME TAX OR ANY FOREIGN, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION. TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION TO YOU WILL DEPEND UPON THE FACTS OF YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY STRONGLY URGES YOU TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR TO

-41-


Table of Contents

DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE ACQUISITION.

                BENEFICIARIES UNDER THE TRUST MUST SEEK OUT OTHER BENEFICIARIES IN ORDER TO ENFORCE THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THE TRUST.

                In order to gain access to the contact information of other Beneficiaries, at least 3 Beneficiaries owning at least 5% of the interest in the Trust must band together to force the Trustee to provide access to such contact information.

                Additionally, it takes a supermajority of the beneficial interests in the Trust (66 2/3%) to direct the Trustee to act or exercise its powers.

                BENEFICIARIES DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THAT THE ROYALTIES AND REMEDIES TO ENFORCE SUCH RIGHTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED OR ARE OF NO MATERIAL VALUE.

                The Company (as Grantor), the Trustee and the Administrator have the power to determine when the benefits of the Royalty Contracts have expired. The interests of the decision makers may be different than those of the Beneficiaries.

                THE INTERESTS IN THE TRUST ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.

                Except in the cause of death or by operation of law, the beneficial interests of shareholders in the Trust are not transferable. Thus, shareholders will have no liquidity in the value of their interest in the Trust.

                BENEFICIARIES ARE FOURTH IN LINE FOR RECEIPT OF AVAILABLE FUNDS.

                Beneficiaries do not receive distributions until Trustee, Grantor, and Administrator have all been paid their fees and/or been reimbursed expenses incurred. The Beneficiaries run the risk that the available funds will be exhausted before any distributions may be made.

                ADMINISTRATOR CHARGED WITH ADMINISTERING ROYALTY LIQUIDATION TRUST MAY BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE IF SUCH ADMINISTRATOR RESIGNS OR CEASES TO ACT AS ADMINISTRATOR.

                The Royalty Liquidation Trust requires the appointment of an administrator to administer the Royalty Contracts and to collect payment due under the Royalty Contracts for distribution to the beneficiaries of the trust. The trust contains a provision which the administrator shall not resign from its position as Administrator unless (i) it can no longer act under applicable law, or (ii) unless a successor Administrator acceptable to Beneficiaries representing 50% or more beneficial interests in the Trust consents to such a resignation. It is possible that less than 50% of the Beneficiaries would consent to such a resignation. In such a situation, there is a risk that the Trust could operate for a period of time without an Administrator.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 2. UNLESS MARKED TO THE CONTRARY, PROXIES RECEIVED FROM SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3

PROPOSAL TO AMEND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT
A ONE-FOR-FIFTY REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK

General

                The Company’s Board of Directors believes that it may be in the best interests of the Company to amend the Articles of Incorporation to effect a one for fifty reverse stock split.

-42-


Table of Contents

                The principal effect of the reverse split would be to decrease the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (but not the total shares authorized for issuance). Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder would hold the same percentage of common stock immediately following the reverse split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of common stock would not be affected by the reverse split. In the event that our Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to effect a reverse split in the 2004 calendar year, the Company will file a Form 8-K with the SEC detailing the specific terms of such split.

                As of September 30, 2004, there were outstanding 6,582,884 shares of Common Stock. If the Company does not issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the date the reverse stock split becomes effective (other than the approximately 82,732,970shares being issued to Allergy Free as part of the Company’s purchase of Allergy Free’s assets), the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will be reduced to approximately 1,786,617. Additionally, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to seek to raise in a private placement up to an additional $2.0 million. These shares will be offered at $0.05 per share. Based on the per share price of $0.05, if the offering is fully subscribed, the Company will issue approximately an additional 40,000,000 shares (prior to adjustment for the split) which will convert to 800,000 post split shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain 20,000,000 shares. Except for the issuance of additional whole shares of Common Stock for fractional shares, the reverse stock split will not result in any immediate change in the economic interests or the voting power of a shareholder relative to other shareholders. However, the reverse stock split will result in a substantial increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Board of Directors.

                The reverse split would be accomplished by amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as set forth in Exhibit “E” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and which includes the following Amended and Restated Article III:

“Article III.

                  A.            This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 25 million shares, 20 million shares of which shall be Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and 5 million shares of which shall be Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
 
                  B.            Effective as of the close of business on the date of filing this Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the California Secretary of State (the “Effective Time”), the filing of this Amendment shall effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) pursuant to which fifty shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding and held by a single holder, shall be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. Each stock certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock, shall following the Effective Time represent the number of shares into which the shares of the Common Stock represented by such certificate shall be combined as a result of the Reverse Split. The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares or scrip as a result of the Reverse Split, but shall round up to the nearest whole share any fractional share that would otherwise result from the Reverse Split.
 
                  C.            Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of any such series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, subject to (i) such shareholder approvals as may be provided for herein, and (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized at that time by this Article III. Subject to such shareholder approvals as may be provided for herein, the Board of Directors is further authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution or amendment originally fixing the number of shares of such series.”

Table of Contents

          The reverse split will become effective on a date determined by the Board.

                Shareholders do not have the statutory right to dissent under California law in connection with the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to complete the reverse split.

                The Company may use the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to raise capital in a public or private offering, to enter into a strategic transaction or to grant options and warrants to employees or others.

                The Company plans to effect an unregistered private placement of up to $2 million of the Company’s unregistered common stock at a purchase price equal to $0.05 per share to shareholders of the Company and Members of Allergy Free as of the record date who are accredited investors and up to thirty-five (35) other investors. If the private placement offering is over-subscribed, shares will first be allocated to Planet shareholders as of the record date for this meeting and then to Allergy Free members. Shares will only be offered pursuant to the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, which shareholders as of the record date for this meeting may request from the Company at 6835 Flanders Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, California, (619) 291-5694.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

                Management believes that the low per share price of the Company’s Common Stock impairs the acceptability of the stock by the financial community and the investing public. Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the stock, the type of investor who acquires it, or the Company’s reputation in the financial community, but in practice this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon low-priced stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such stocks. Management also believes that a low share price reduces the effective marketability of the shares because of the reluctance of many brokerage firms to recommend low-priced stocks to their clients. Certain institutional investors have internal policies preventing the purchase of low-priced stocks and many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts. A variety of brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in low-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices pertain to the payment of brokers’ commissions and to time-consuming procedures that function to make the handling of low-priced stocks unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint. In addition, the structure of trading commissions also tends to have an adverse impact upon holders of low-priced stocks because the brokerage commission on a sale of a low-price stock generally represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission on a relatively higher-priced stock.

                The Board of Directors anticipates that the decrease in the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock as a consequence of the reverse stock split will result in an anticipated increased price level, which will encourage interest in the Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the shareholders, although such liquidity could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the reverse stock split.

                We cannot assure stockholders that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired consequences described above. Specifically, we cannot assure stockholders that, if effected, the post- Reverse Split market price of our Common Stock will increase proportionately to the ratio for the Reverse Split.

Fractional Shares

                In order to save the expense and inconvenience of issuing fractional shares, the Company will not issue scrip or fractional share certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock in connection with the reverse stock split. The Company will issue one additional whole share to shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share. If the same shareholder is the owner of shares under multiple share certificates, then the number of shares the Company will issue in connection with the reverse stock split shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate shares owned under all certificates.

Increase in Authorized Unissued Shares

                The following table shows how the one-for-fifty reverse stock split will increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Board of Directors. The information presented in the table assumes a

closing on or about August 25, 2004. The table assumes that no shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock will be issued prior to the date upon which the reverse stock split is affected.

  (3) Increase in the outstanding shares is made up of 1,591,802 shares issuable to Allergy Free in connection with the Asset Purchase.
     
  (4) Increase in the outstanding shares is made up of 800,000 shares issuable in connection with the Private Placement contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

        Since the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain 20,000,000, following the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors, subject to any applicable shareholder approval requirements imposed by law or regulation, will be able to issue approximately 18,500,00 additional shares of Common Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, except as otherwise required by law or regulation. The outstanding shares of Common Stock have no pre-emptive rights; accordingly, if the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, shareholders will not have any preferential right to purchase any of the additional shares. Although the Board of Directors believes the increase in authorized unissued shares is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may, depending on the circumstances under which such shares are issued, reduce the shareholders’ equity per share and may reduce the percentage ownership of Common Stock of existing shareholders.

Implementation of Reverse Stock Split

                If the shareholders approve the reverse stock split, the Company will file the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation in the form of Exhibit “E” to this Proxy Statement with the Secretary of State of California, and upon such filing the reverse stock split will become effective as of the opening of business on that date.

                Following the effectiveness of the amendment, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be deemed automatically, without any action on the part of the shareholders, to represent one-fiftieth of the pre-split number of shares. However, no fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Each shareholder of record owning shares of Common Stock prior to the

-46-


Table of Contents

reverse stock split which are not evenly divisible by fifty (50) will receive one additional share for the fractional share that such shareholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split. After the reverse stock split becomes effective, shareholders will be asked to surrender their stock certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in a letter of transmittal. Shareholders should not submit any certificates until requested to do so. Upon such surrender, a new certificate representing the number of shares owned as a result of the reverse stock split will be issued and forwarded to shareholders. However, each certificate representing the number of shares owned prior to the reverse stock split will continue to be valid and represent a number of shares equal to one-fiftieth of the pre-split number of shares.

                Shareholders who do not vote in favor of the reverse stock split may not exercise dissenters’ appraisal rights under the California General Corporation Law.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

                The exchange of shares of Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split will occur on the date we file the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation effecting the reverse stock split, without any further action on the part of our shareholders and without regard to the date or dates certificates formerly representing shares of Common Stock are physically surrendered for certificates representing the post-split number of shares such shareholders are entitled to receive. We will appoint Transfer Online, transfer agent for our Common Stock, exchange agent to act for shareholders in effecting the exchange of their certificates. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Common Stock will be exchanged or converted includes a fraction, we will issue to the holder of such fraction, in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, one whole additional share.

                As soon as practicable after the date the reverse stock split becomes effective, transmittal forms will be mailed to each holder of record of certificates formerly representing shares of Common Stock to be used in forwarding their certificates for surrender and exchange for certificates representing the post-split number of shares of Common Stock such shareholders are entitled to receive. After receipt of such transmittal form, each holder should surrender the certificates formerly representing shares of Common Stock and such holder will receive in exchange therefore certificates representing the whole number of shares to which he is entitled, plus one whole share in lieu of any fractional share. The transmittal forms will be accompanied by instructions specifying other details of the exchange. Shareholders should not send in their certificates until they receive a transmittal form.

                On the date the reverse stock split becomes effective, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock will, until surrendered and exchanged as described above, be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares evidenced by such certificate have been converted, except that the holder of such unexchanged certificates will not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions payable by us after that date with respect to the shares which the shareholder is entitled to receive because of the reverse stock split until the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock have been surrendered. Such dividends and distributions, if any, will be accumulated and, at the time of such surrender, all such unpaid dividends or distributions will be paid without interest.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

                The following description of federal income tax consequences is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority, and current administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement. This discussion is for general information only and does not discuss consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens, broker-dealers or insurance companies). You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to you.

                The exchange of shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be a tax-free recapitalization for the Company and its shareholders to the extent that shares of pre-split Common Stock are exchanged for post-split Common Stock. Therefore, shareholders will not recognize gain or loss as a result of that transaction.

                A shareholder’s holding period for shares of post-split common stock, including any additional shares issued in lieu of issuing fractional shares, will include the holding period of shares of pre-split Common Stock

-47-


Table of Contents

exchanged therefore, provided that the shares of pre-split Common Stock were capital assets in the hands of the shareholder.

                The shares of post-split Common Stock in the hands of a shareholder, including any additional shares issued in lieu of issuing fractional shares, will have an aggregate basis for computing gain or loss equal to the aggregate basis of shares of pre-split Common Stock held by that shareholder immediately prior to the split.

                Although the issue is not free from doubt, additional shares received in lieu of fractional shares, including shares received as a result of the rounding up of fractional ownership, should be treated in the same manner. However, it is possible that the receipt of additional shares could be wholly or partially taxable.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

                We cannot assure stockholders that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired consequences described above. Specifically, we cannot assure stockholders that, if effected, the post- Reverse Split market price of our Common Stock will increase proportionately to the ratio for the Reverse Split.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. UNLESS MARKED TO THE CONTRARY, PROXIES RECEIVED FROM SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

PROPOSAL 4
NAME CHANGE

                The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to change the name of the Company from “Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.” to “Planet Technologies, Inc.” Management believes the name change would be beneficial to the Company for marketing, branding, and other similar purposes.

                The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC”) lists the common stock of the company under the symbol “POLY.OB.” As soon as reasonably practicable after the name change, the OTC would list the common stock of the Company under its new name, Planet Technologies, Inc., and would continue using the same symbol to list the Company.

                The Company’s Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the holders of common stock of the Company to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company. In conformance with the Company’s Bylaws, the Company has attached the proposed amendment to the Articles as Exhibit “E.”

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE. UNLESS MARKED TO THE CONTRARY, PROXIES RECEIVED FROM SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE.

In addition, in 2004 the Company’s entire current Board acted as the Nominating Committee and nominated the current candidates in compliance with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 18, 2004, and entered into by and between the Company and Allergy Free, LLC. The shareholders of the Company have the right to vote whether to accept the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition contemplated therein. The newly elected Board will consider establishing a charter for the Nominating Committee, which provides guidelines for the selection of future directors.

                The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the Company’s independent auditors, consulting with independent auditors concerning the audit plan and reviewing the comments and recommendations resulting from the auditor’s report. During 2003, the Audit Committee was composed of non-employee directors including Messrs. Dr. Petcavich and Ronald B. Sunderland and met 4 times during 2003. The Audit Committee Charter was adopted on May 22, 1997 and was subsequently amended in 2001. The Audit Committee does not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” serving on the audit committee. The Board believed that the Company’s limited activities made it impractical to recruit a financial expert following the resignation of Peter O’Neill, the chief financial officer of Agway, Inc., who had formerly been the chairman of the audit committee. After the Closing, the Board intends to consider recruiting a financial expert to serve on the Board and audit committee.

                The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and it has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61. Furthermore, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence and based on the review of the financial statements and discussions with management and the auditors, it recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the company’s 10-KSB for year 2003.

                The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the compensation and benefits of the Company’s executive officers, making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the compensation and benefits of the Company’s executive officers and administering the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans. The Compensation Committee in 2003 was composed of two non-employee directors including Messrs. H. M. Busby,

and Ronald B. Sunderland. The Compensation Committee did not meet during 2003 since there were no employees of the Company.

                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 be 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.

        The Company has not yet adopted a code of ethics for its officers and other key personnel involved in the Company’s operations. However, upon the election of the new board, the Company plans to adopt such an ethics code and will promptly disclose such adoption to its shareholders and other interested parties.

                During 2003, each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board, and of the committees on which he served, held during the period for which he was a director or committee member, respectively.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

                Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16(a)”) requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

                To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were complied with except for the late filing of Form 5 for current directors Busby, Sunderland, and Petcavich relating to options granted during 2003.

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 provided a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in which all full-time employees of the Company were eligible to participate. Eligible employees were permitted to contribute up to fifteen percent (15%) of their pre-tax salary to the 401(k) Plan subject to IRS limitations. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were no Company contributions charged to operations related to the 401(k) Plan in 2002. The Company terminated the 401(k) Plan in 2003, and pursuant to this termination made a full distribution of the plan assets to the plan participants.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

                On November 18, 1998, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement, effective January 1, 1999, with Dr. Petcavich. This agreement increased Dr. Petcavich’s salary to $210,000 and included a termination provision that provided for a consulting agreement in the event of early termination. Also on November 18, 1998 the Company’s Board of Directors granted Dr. Petcavich an incentive stock option to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per share under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.

                In December 31, 2001, the Company and Dr. Petcavich amended the above employment agreement, reducing the length of the agreement to four (4) years, terminating on December 31, 2002. In consideration of this accommodation, the Company agreed to continue Dr. Petcavich’s salary for the 2002 calendar year, as long as the Company had sufficient cash on hand to continue business through the calendar year 2002. Should cash be insufficient to meet these obligations, Dr. Petcavich’s salary would be reduced to a maximum of consulting and other revenues generated by Dr. Petcavich.

                On October 17, 2000, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Richard C. Bernier, to serve as Planet’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Planet had the option to extend the employment

-55-


Table of Contents

term for two (2) additional one-year terms, as well as a notice provision of at least 183 days before Mr. Bernier’s employment could be terminated. Mr. Bernier’s compensation consisted of $205,000 as an annual salary, a signing bonus of 10,000 shares of Planet’s common stock, a grant of a stock option to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, and a year end bonus incentive program for earnings improvement over current Company performance. Mr. Bernier’s agreement also provided for a consulting agreement should he be terminated for any reason other than for cause during the term of employment. On October 17, 2001, the Company and Mr. Bernier amended the term of the agreement to fully terminate on December 31, 2002. Mr. Bernier’s primary duties as CEO were revised to include selling all of the Company’s patents and related technological know-how, excluding the license agreements with Agway, Inc., manage the restructuring of the Company’s business in accordance with the approved restructuring plan and establish the operational and legal structure for the Company for calendar year 2002. In consideration for this accommodation, the Company and Mr. Bernier agreed to a commissions only payment schedule for 2002 based on the successful sale of patents, related technological know-how, inventories, property and equipment associated with the Company’s AQUAMIM Metal Injection Molding, EnviroPlastic, EnviroPlastic Z and Aquadro technologies. Mr. Bernier also received a ten-year option to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at ($0.06 per share), with full vesting on or before April 15, 2002 provided operational and legal restructuring had been completed.

                The Company entered into consulting agreements with Dr. Petcavich and Mr. Bernier effective as of January 1, 2003. Dr. Petcavich’s consulting term is for two (2) years and five (5) months to provide ongoing support and consulting services to the Company’s customers who purchased and/or licensed the Company’s intellectual property. Dr. Petcavich is to receive consulting fees the Company collects from the customers who received Dr. Petcavich’s consulting services, less any expenses incurred by the Company in connection with Dr. Petcavich’s provision of such services. Mr. Bernier’s consulting term was for three months to assist the Company with its SEC reporting obligations for the year ended December 31, 2002, 2003 annual shareholders meeting and the finalization of sale and licensing agreements between the Company and Agway. Mr. Bernier was to receive fees of $100 per hour, not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, as well as non-statutory stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of Planet Common Stock under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The stock options have a ten year term, with a strike price of $0.05 which was the price of the Common Stock at the last trade reported as of January 31, 2003.

                The Company entered into an agreement with H.M. Busby whereby the Company has agreed to pay Mr. $100 per hour for work he performs on behalf of the Company.

                If the Acquisition is approved, the Company plans to retain Scott L. Glenn as President/CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company. In lieu of cash for his services, the Company plans to offer, and he has agreed to accept, a non-qualified stock option under the Company’s 2000 Plan to purchase 3,480,729 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (prior to adjustment for the reverse stock split discussed in the proxy). Thereafter, the Company agrees to grant 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

                In a letter agreement dated November 14, 2000, Planet agreed to sell, assign and transfer patent rights (the “Patent Transaction”) to Planet’s animal feed additives, fruit and vegetable coatings, and controlled-release fertilizer (the “Patents”), for a cash price of $250,000 and continuation of royalty payments equal to the payments Planet would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to its existing license agreement with Agway and the sublicense agreements related thereto, as such agreements may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties. Planet, in turn, agreed to pay Agway $150,000 in return for an exclusive worldwide royalty-free license to use and commercially exploit all right related to the Patents for all uses other than food and agricultural initiatives. As a result of the concurrent execution of the warrant exercise by Agway on November 14, 2000 and the Patent Transaction, and the Company’s inability to establish separate fair values for the patent sale and sublicense, the net proceeds of $100,000 has been accounted for as additional proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants in the accompanying financial statements.

-56-


Table of Contents

                To consummate the sale and assignment contemplated by the letter agreement dated November 14, 2000, the Company and Agway agreed on the form of two separate Sale and Licensing Agreements with respect to the agricultural feed technologies and the fruit/produce technologies. On March 25, 2003 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court gave its approval to Agway to enter into the two Sale and Licensing Agreements with the Company. Under the Sale and Licensing Agreements, the Company confirmed (i) the assignment of its agricultural feed related patent rights and fruit/produce related patent rights and (ii) license of its technology related to the agricultural feed products and fruit/produce products, to Agway. In return, the Company will received an up-front royalty payment of $30,000 for its execution of the agricultural feed agreement and a payment of $100,000 for its execution of the fruit/produce agreement, and will also receive a sales royalty based on net revenues generated from product sales. Agway will also grant the Company exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free limited licenses to use the assigned patents rights for uses other than food and agricultural initiatives. In connection with the agricultural feed agreement, Agway also assigned and transferred to the Company all of Agway’s shares of Planet capital stock. Additionally, under the fruit/produce agreement, Agway may enter into an agreement to sell all or substantially all of the assets of its FreshSeal business, which would include the fruit/produce patent rights assigned by the Company, within 12 months of the date of that agreement. Upon such sale, Agway must pay the Company, among other things, a percentage of the net sales proceeds, up to $200,000. Management cannot assure that the Company will receive significant, if any, royalties and monies under these Sale and Licensing Agreements.

                In November 1998, the Company and Agway entered into an agreement relating to the funding by Agway of a feasibility study (the “Feasibility Agreement”) of the Company’s polymer technology for use in agricultural products (other than fertilizers and certain biological products) and food products. Under the terms of the Feasibility Agreement, the Company is reimbursed for certain qualifying research and development costs relating to such applications. During 2000, the Company recorded reimbursable research and development costs of $174,872 from Agway under the Feasibility Agreement.

                Also in November 1998, the Company granted Agway an exclusive worldwide license in connection with the Company’s technology for time-release coatings for a variety of agricultural and food products (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement outlines the general terms and conditions for the rights granted Agway thereunder. The Company and Agway agreed to execute further sub-agreements specifying the royalties to be paid to the Company for Agway’s use of the Company’s technology with certain products.

                Agway Holdings Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Agway, was a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock since January 11, 1999, but in April 2003 all shares were transferred by Agway to the Company and cancelled.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

                Q.            WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NOMINEES IF THE SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT APPROVE THE ACQUISITION?

                A.            Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and Allergy Free are to use their “best efforts” to cause the election of the current nominees to the Board. Board Nominees Scott Glenn, Ellen Preston, and Michael Trinkle are currently members of Allergy Free and have no current interests in the Company. Mr. Glenn, Ms. Preston and Mr. Trinkle will not have any interests in the Company unless the shareholders approve the Acquisition. If the shareholders do not approve the Acquisition, Mr. Glenn, Ms. Preston, and Mr. Trinkle have advised the Company that they will withdraw as candidates for the Board. Under this scenario, the remaining nominees (who are also current directors of the Company), H. Mac Busby and Robert J. Petcavich, would be entitled to fill any such Board vacancies in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE SLATE OF CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

PROPOSAL 6

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 500,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. The purpose behind amending the plan is to allow the Company to retain Scott L. Glenn as President/ CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and possibly, in the future, other key employees, officers and directors. In Mr. Glenn case, in lieu of cash compensation for his services, he has agreed to accept a non-qualified stock option under the Company’s 2000 Plan to purchase 3,480,729 shares of the Company’s common stock (prior to adjustment for the reverse stock split discussed in the proxy). Thereafter, the Company agrees to grant to Mr. Glenn stock options exercisable at the then fair market value at such times as may be required to maintain the aggregate number of stock options granted to Mr. Glenn at an amount not less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (on a fully diluted basis), during his three year term of employment.

                By amending the 2000 Plan and increasing the amount of shares reserved under the 2000 Plan, the Company would have enough shares of common stock available to provide a means whereby the Company could fulfill its agreement with Mr. Glenn 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 Scott L. Glenn as President/CEO and Chairman of the Board 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.

Table of Contents

                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 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, 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

                Other than the Company’s agreement with Mr. Glenn, it is presently not determinable as to whether any benefits or amounts will be received by or allocated to the Company’s executive officers, directors or employees. Further, had the 2000 Plan been in effect during the last completed fiscal year, none of the Company’s executive officers, directors or employees would have received benefits or amounts under the 2000 Plan. Information concerning stock option grants to the Company’s executive officers and directors is set forth under “Executive Compensation” beginning on page 6 of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 7
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

                The Board of Directors has selected J. H. Cohn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. J. H. Cohn LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since 2001. Previously, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited the Company’s financial statements since its inception in 1991. Representatives of J. H. Cohn LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

                Shareholder ratification of the selection of J. H. Cohn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company’s current Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of J. H. Cohn LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

                The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares presented in person or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of J. H. Cohn LLP. For purposes of this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved.

Audit Fees

                The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by J. H. Cohn LLP for the audit of Planet’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the reviews of the financial statements included in Planet’s Form 10-QSBs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $26,850.

                No fees were billed to Planet for professional services rendered by J. H. Cohn LLP relating to the design and implementation of Planet’s financial information systems during the year ended December 31, 2003.

                There were no additional fees billed for other services rendered by J. H. Cohn LLP to Planet.
