T
HE OUTLOOKDiatect’s sales revenue for FY '03 was $742,729 compared
with $769,600 in FY '02. The company booked $12 million
in connection with the sale of 90% of a diatomaceous earth
ore reserve in Oregon for a note receivable of $31.1 million.
Consequently, the company reported net income of $7.5
million or $0.12 diluted earnings per share for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2003 vs. ($2.1 million) or ($0.05) in 2002.
Sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, '04
was $579,599 compared with $583,811 a year ago. Gross
profits for the first nine months of FY '04 was $333,049 compared
with $338,968 for the nine months ended September
30, '03.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 were lower than the prior year period. Diatect
has taken a very aggressive approach in reducing operating
expenses through free advertising (product awareness), the
controlling of salary, wages and benefits, reduction of travel
expenses, manufacturing and shipping with a reduced number
of personnel and operating as lean manufacturing.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, liquidity
was derived from revenue and the issuance of notes payable
and the issuance of common stock for cash. Cash used in
operations exceeded revenues. Management feels that the
remainder of the fiscal year will be comparable to last year,
and is not anticipating any significant increases or decreases
for the remainder of FY '04. However, with management's
reinvesting of its marketing strategy, significant revenue
may be realized during the fourth quarter from the large
retail sector. During the September 30, 2004 quarter the
company recognized the first payment of $1,945,350 for the
note receivable of $31,125,600 in current assets. The current
portion of mine receivable was impaired to $750,000.
The company said for the remainder of this year, management
has taken a proactive approach in marketing for the
future. It believes the progress it is making with mass merchandisers
will not be reflected in revenue numbers until
the 2005-2006 time frame.

T
HE NON-TOXIC TECHNOLOGYDiatect products are made from a combination
of natural ingredients officially
graded as less toxic than either table
salt or aspirin. Pyrethrum is a lethal
nerve irritant to insects refined from the
African Daisy. Harmless to mammals and
birds, it immediately paralyzes insects.
Once exposed to the natural environment, Pyrethrum
decomposes into harmless by-products that do not accumulate
in the food, water or soil.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE), also known as Silicon Dioxide,
is a mineral mined from the dry beds of ancient, freshwater
lakes. DE is not a poison. It consists of sharp-edged microscopic
blades and spikes that cut insects' skin and shells,
damage the watertight seal upon which the bug depends
and literally draws an insect’s life-sustaining fluid from it.
DE is EPA labeled as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) in
food production, water and the environment. The talc-like
powder, which is harmless to mammals, birds and humans,
sticks to insects on contact. Diatect combines Pyrethrum
and DE. Pyrethrum provides a fast “knock-down” to insect
pests. DE persists after Pyrethrum decomposes, controlling
future insects due to insect hatch or from insect migration
from untreated neighboring fields.
RISK FACTORS
• Competition by large, well-established companies
• Impact of weather conditions on insect control demand
• Company lacks operating history
• Access to capital
