Harvard Club Investor Group Takes a Fresh Look at Organics

SAN ANTONIO, July 16 PRNewswire-FirstCall — Organic Alliance, Inc., a worldwide organic ingredient trading company, (Pink Sheets: ORGC) led by Tom Morrison, CEO presented to analysts and investors at the storied Harvard Club in Manhattan, New York. Tom Morrison presented the company's vision and plan to become one of the world's leading providers of USDA organic crops.

Dana Bruno, Managing Director, DTB Capital Management Group asked a question about organic sales rates versus conventional products. Morrison cited the most recent study appearing in the weekly trade journal Supermarket News which stated current year organic product sales are up 8% and enjoying continued growth despite a tight dollar and a decrease in consumer spending. Morrison went on to say that organic products now make up over 3% of all food commodity volume in the US marketplace.

John F. O'Dea, Chairman, EastGate Financial, Inc. asked if there was a dilution of organic food product, given the growing number of organic brands and line extensions. Morrison stated there were indeed a growing number of major new organic brands appearing at all major consumer goods firms, and that he expected the category to continue to show strong growth. Morrison said, "I expect to see some excellent marketing programs from world class firms such as Kraft, Unilever and Sara Lee grow the category at an even faster pace with less dilution — I see an overall strengthening of the organic category."

Mr. Tom Morrison will give an investor presentation at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia on Monday, July 21.
