PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Since this is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you
in evaluating your investment. You should read the following summary, and the Risk Factors
section, along with the more detailed information and financial statements and the notes to the
financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, prior to purchasing securities of Planet.
Planet Technologies, Inc.
Planet is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing
common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, air filters, bedding and similar
products under the Allergy Free trade name. Planet acquired its business on or about November 30,
2004, when it acquired substantially all of the assets and business of Allergy Free, LLC. Our
business strategy is primarily based upon promotion of products directly to the consumer by
telemarketing to our database of customers who have purchased the Allergy Free Electrostatic
Filter. On August 11, 2005, Planet completed the merger with Allergy Control Products, Inc.
(ACP), wherein ACP merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Planet.
Prior to acquiring the Allergy Free business, and the merger with ACP, Planet, then known as
Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. was an advanced materials company that developed and licensed
unique polymer materials. While retaining certain intellectual property rights relating to our
prior business, all operations related to our prior business have been discontinued.
Planet was incorporated under the laws of California in August 1991. Planets principal
executive offices are located at 6835 Flanders Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121, and its
telephone number is 858-457-4742.

RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing the shares offered by this prospectus, you should carefully consider the
risks described below, in addition to the other information presented in this prospectus or
incorporated by reference into this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, they
could adversely affect Planets business, financial condition or results of operations. In such
case, the trading price of Planets common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
We have experienced losses, we expect future losses and we may not become profitable.
For the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2004, we had net losses of approximately $574,135
and $773,558, respectively. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $469,034. As
of June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.2 million.
Since we have historically incurred net losses, we expect this trend to continue until some
indefinite date in the future. We may not become profitable. If we do achieve profitability, we
may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
A significant block of our common stock (97%) is being registered for sale and there is a risk that
one entity ( or individual) or a limited number of entities (or individuals) could acquire most or
all of the shares being sold.
The number of shares being registered for offering account for approximately 97% of our
outstanding common stock. Because such a large block of our common stock is being offered, there
is a significant risk that one entity (or individual) or a limited number of entities (or
individuals) could acquire most, if not all, of the shares being sold. Such a sale to a limited
number of entities or individuals would result in a change in control of the Company, and could
result in major changes in management, personnel, direction and overall philosophy of the Company.
Shareholders should consider the potential impact such a sale, and the resulting change in control,
would have on them and the Company.
Future sales of our common stock by existing shareholders under Rule 144 or this offering could
decrease the trading price of our common stock.
As of October 6, 2005, a total of approximately 3,874,897 shares of our outstanding common
stock were restricted securities and could be sold in the public markets only in compliance with
rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable exemptions from registration.
Rule 144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may
thereafter sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount not exceeding in any three-month period the
greater of either (i) 1% of the issuers outstanding common stock or (ii) the average weekly
trading volume in the securities during a period of four calendar weeks immediately preceding the
sale. Persons who are not affiliated with the issuer and who have held their restricted securities
for at least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. Possible or actual sales of our
common stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 could have a depressive effect on the price of
our common stock. Many of these shares were registered and may be sold without the above
limitations in accordance with this prospectus, and the registration could have a significant
negative impact on the market price because there will be many more shares that may be available
for sale on the open market.
Additionally, on November 30, 2004, the Company, with shareholder approval, purchased the
assets of Allergy Free, LLC, a California limited liability company (Allergy Free). In exchange
for Allergy Frees assets, the Company issued approximately 1.7 Million shares of the Companys
common stock to Allergy Free which in turn distributed the shares proportionally to its members in
exchange for the members membership interests in Allergy Free.
On August 11, 2005, the Company completed the merger between ACP Acquisition Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company and ACP (the Merger) pursuant to which ACP became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company and Jonathan T. Dawson, an individual and the sole shareholder received
600,000 shares of the common stock of the Company.
The Company also sold approximately 1,600,000 shares of common stock through private
placement. As part of the asset purchase transaction and the ACP Merger, the Company agreed to
register the shares issued to the former Allergy Free members and the shares issued to Mr. Dawson,
with shareholder approval, and which were issued through private placement as soon as possible
after the completion of the respective transactions. For this reason, the shares are being
registered now as opposed to some later date.

We may require additional capital in the future which may not be available.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
|
the cost of manufacturing; |
|
|
|
|
developing new markets for our products; |
|
|
|
|
competing technological and market developments; and |
|
|
|
|
the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims. |
We anticipate that our existing resources combined with revenues will enable us to maintain
our current and planned operations through the next twelve months. In addition, changes in our
plans or other events affecting our operating expenses, such as acquisition opportunities, may
cause us to expend our existing resources sooner than expected.
We may seek additional funding through private placements of stock or strategic relationships.
But the uncertainty as to our future profitability may make it difficult for us to secure
additional financing on acceptable terms, if we are able to secure additional financing at all.
Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our activities.
We are subject to penny stock regulations.
Our common stock is not listed or qualified for listing on NASDAQ or any national securities
exchange but is only sporadically traded in the over-the-counter market in the so-called OTC
Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor will find it difficult to dispose of, and to obtain
accurate quotations as to the value of, our common stock.
Although occasionally trading at $5.00 or more per share, our common stock during the past
several years has generally traded below $5.00 and has been classified as a penny stock by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The classification severely and adversely affects the market
liquidity for our common stock. The Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the
definition of a penny stock for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a
market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a persons account for transactions in penny
stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order
to approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i)
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a
reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the
person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any
transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedules prepared by the Commission relating to the
penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth (i) the basis on which the broker or
dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed,
written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about
the risks of investing in penny stocks in public offerings and secondary trading and about the
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in case of fraud in penny stock
transaction. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for
the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Any inability to adequately retain or protect our employees, customer relationships and proprietary
technology could harm our ability to compete.
Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon our employees, customer
relationships, proprietary technology and trademarks, which we attempt to protect with a
combination of trademark and trade secret claims. These legal protections afford only limited
protection. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from
soliciting our employees or customers or infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual
property. Our employees, customer relationships and intellectual property may not be adequate to
provide us with a competitive advantage or to prevent competitors from entering the markets for our
product and services. Additionally, our competitors could independently develop non-infringing
technologies that are competitive with, and equivalent or superior to, our products. We will
monitor infringement and/or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. However,
even if we do detect infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to
enforce these rights could cause us to divert financial and other resources away from our business
operations.
3
The departure of certain key personnel could harm the financial condition of the Company.
Several of our employees are intimately involved in our business and have day-to-day
relationships with critical customers. Planet is not able to afford additional staff to supplement
these key personnel. Competition for highly skilled business, product development, marketing and
other personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in recruiting
new personnel or in retaining our existing personnel. A failure on our part to retain the services
of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial
condition. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees.
We face numerous competitors.
We have many competitors with comparable characteristics and capabilities that compete for the
same group of customers. Our competitors are competent and experienced and are continuously
working to take market share away from us. Our competitors have greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely
affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the sales and marketing
of their products and services than are available to us.
There are risks associated with our planned growth.
We plan to grow the Companys revenues and profits by adding to our existing customer base
through internal growth and by the acquisition of other companies.
Management believes that Planet can grow through the acquisitions of other allergy control
related companies as part of a roll-up strategy. The acquisition of other companies is uncertain
and contains a variety of business risks, including: cultural differences the retention of key
personnel, competition, protection of intellectual property, profitability, industry changes and
others.
Acquisitions and attempted acquisitions, may place a strain on our limited personnel,
financial and other resources. Our ability to manage this growth, should it occur, will require
expansion of our capabilities and personnel. We may not be able to find qualified personnel to
fill additional positions or be able to successfully manage a larger organization.§
We have very limited assets upon which to rely for adjusting to business variations and for
growing new businesses. While we are likely to look for new funding to assist in the acquisition
of other profitable businesses, it is uncertain whether such funds will be available. There can be
no assurance that we will be successful in raising a sufficient amount of additional capital, or if
we are successful, that we will be able to raise capital on reasonable terms. If we do raise
additional capital, our existing shareholders will incur substantial and immediate dilution.
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 46% of our stock; their
interests could conflict with yours; significant sales of stock held by them could have a negative
effect on our stock price; shareholder may be unable to exercise control.
As of September 1, 2005, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons were the
beneficial owners of approximately 46% of our common stock. As a result, our executive officers,
directors and affiliate persons will have significant ability to:
|
|
|
elect or defeat the election of our directors; |
|
|
|
|
amend or prevent amendment of our articles or incorporation or bylaws; |
|
|
|
|
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote. |
As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers
collectively, are able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval,
including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In
addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or
the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Managements stock ownership may discourage a potential
acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in
turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our
stock price.
4
Since we have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in
the future, you may only realize a profit from your investment if our stock price appreciates.

On October 6, 2005, the last reported sale price of the Companys Common Stock on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was $5.00. As of October 6, 2005, there were approximately 195
holders of record of the Companys Common Stock with 3,986,368 shares outstanding. The market price
of shares of Common Stock, like that of the common stock of many other emerging growth companies,
has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.
The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend. The Company has not paid and does not
intend to pay any Common Stock dividends to Common Stock shareholders in the foreseeable future and
intends to retain any future earnings to fund the Companys operations. Any payment of dividends in
the future will depend upon the Companys earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and
such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
On November 30, 2004, the Company, with shareholder approval, purchased the assets of Allergy
Free, LLC, a California limited liability company (Allergy Free). In exchange for
Allergy Frees assets, the Company issued approximately 1.7 Million shares of the Companys common
stock to Allergy Free which in turn distributed the shares proportionally to its members in
exchange for the members membership interests in Allergy Free. On August 11, 2005, the Company,
with shareholder approval, merged with ACP. As consideration the Company issued 600,000 shares to
Jonathan T. Dawson, an individual and sole-shareholder of ACP. Additionally, the Company sold
approximately 1,600,000 shares of common stock through private placement. The shares of common
stock which were distributed to the former Allergy Free members and to Jonathan T. Dawson and sold
in private placement are the subject of this registration statement. We relied on the limited
offering exemption provided in Rule 506 of the 1933 Act in issuing the shares of common stock to
the former Allergy Free members and to Jonathan T. Dawson and through private placement.

Description of Employee Benefit Plans
2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
Planets 2000 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by Planets shareholders at its annual meeting
of shareholders on May 1, 2000. On August 10, 2005, the shareholders approved increasing the
authorized shares under the plan to 350,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2000
Plan. The Board has approved a further amendment to the plan to increase the authorized number of
shares to 500,000 shares, which will be submitted for approval at the next meeting of Planet
shareholders. A committee consisting of Planets 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 Companys 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 Companys outstanding capital stock, the
maximum term for incentive options 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 optionees 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 incentive options granted to
an optionee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of Planets outstanding
capital stock must equal at least 110% of the fair market value
16
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 Companys common stock or by any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.
401(K) Plan
The Company provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the 401(k) Plan) in which
all full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Eligible employees are
permitted to contribute 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 are at the discretion of the
Board of Directors. There have been, no Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan in 2003 or 2004.
Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements
The Company has entered into an agreement with Scott L. Glenn as President/CEO and Chairman of
the Board of the Company for his services, the Company a three-year period, which expires on

compensation comparable to CEOs of other similar companies. In exchange for foregoing a salary, the
Company agreed 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

a fully diluted basis) during his three year term of employment. In August 2005, Mr. Glenn was

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
On November 30, 2004, Planet acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC, and is now engaged in
the business of designing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing common products for use by
allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation, air filters,
bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. Allergy Free acquired
its business on or about November 3, 2000, when it acquired substantially all of the assets and
business of Allergy Free, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The business strategy is primarily
based upon the marketing and selling of a complete range of branded, allergen avoidance products
directly to the consumer by telemarketing to its database of customers who have purchased the
Allergy -Free® Electrostatic Filter. Promotion is executed primarily through direct telemarketing,
supplemented with direct mail, radio, and Internet advertising. In addition, we will continue to
pursue co-marketing opportunities with appropriate partners in order to increase consumer awareness
and expand our customer base. We will market our products under the Allergy Free® trade name. In
conjunction with these activities, Planet operates an e-commerce website for the sale of
Allergy-Free® products at www.800allergy.com.
The allergy avoidance product industry provides products and information that help people
suffering from allergies or asthma to reduce the level of exposure to allergens in their
environment. Market categories include; air filtration products, mold and mildew products, and
products to avoid exposure to dust mites and other allergens. Market distribution channels
include;: direct to consumer sales, physician directed sales, the Internet, and retail. Competitors
include National Allergy Supply, Mission Allergy, Allergy Buyers Club, 3M
and Sharper Image.
On August 11, 2005, Planet completed the merger with Allergy Control Products, Inc. (ACP).
ACP merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Planet (New ACP). The subsidiary will continue to
use the name Allergy Control Products. Effective August 11, 2005, Planet assigned all of the
Allergy-Free® assets to its wholly owned subsidiary New ACP.
With the Merger, Planet has added to its stable of allergen control products, and has
incorporated ACPs core business strategy to supply a complete range of high quality products to
physicians patients who are allergy sufferers, as well as to previous customers. Promotion is
executed through (a) distribution of catalogs to physicians offices, for subsequent
re-distribution to patients, (b) distribution of catalogs directly to previous customers and (c)
selective e-commerce marketing initiatives. Customer transactions are primarily handled through
ACPs in-bound call center and its website. In addition to this core business strategy, ACP also
sells selective products on a wholesale basis to domestic retailers as well as to international
distributors.
Products include ACPs own Allergy Control® branded bedding products, which are effective
barriers to the transmission of dust mite allergen and pet dander. ACP also markets other bedding
products, carpet cleaning and laundry products, vacuums, air cleaners and air filters, sinus and
breathing aids, respiratory products, dehumidifiers, mold prevention and house cleaning products,
pet allergy products and certain allergy-related skin and hair care products.
Market distribution channels (non-wholesale) for allergen avoidance products include:
physician-directed sales, direct to consumer sales, the Internet and retail. In the
physician-directed sales segment, ACPs primary competitors are National Allergy Supply, Asthma and
Allergies Technology, Allergy Solutions and Mission Allergy.
Products and Technologies
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 contracts for the
manufacture and distributes products to address three main allergen areas where avoidance products
can provide reduced exposure. The categories are Air Filtration, Dust Mite/Dander avoidance, and
Mold concerns.
Air Filtration Product Category: According to the EPA the air inside houses is 3-5 times more
polluted than outdoor air so providing products to clean the air inside the home is critical to any
allergy management plan. Allergy Free air filters greatly reduce the amount of airborne
contaminants. Planet currently markets three types of filters for forced heating and cooling
systems along with vent filtration kits and HEPA room air cleaners.
The Aller-Pure® Gold Filter is a permanent electrostatic washable filter. The filter
is very efficient in removing particles at the 1-10 micron level. The filter is pleated and offers
2.5 times the filtering surface area of a flat filter while providing a low resistance that
optimizes airflow. We offer 45 standard sizes and also manufacture custom filters to meet almost
any customer need. The filters have a ten-year warranty.
The newest Allergy Free filter marketed is the Aller-Pure® MAX- (Micro-Allergen
Xtractor) is the newest filter offered by the Company. The Aller-Pure MAX is rated at the highest
level for residential filters. It is a pleated filter with actively electrostatic charged media.
The disposable filters life is 2-3 months and is sold in packages of 4 filters. Currently we
offer this filter in 11 standard sizes.
20
We provide the Aller-Pure® Flex filters for free-standing air conditioning units and
other types of heating and cooling systems often found in recreational vehicles. The flex filter
is comprised of 3 layers and sewn with a trim. These filters are washable and have a three-year
warranty.
Consumers filter the loose dust from their air ducts using Allergy-Free® Vent
Filtration Kits. The vent kits are sold in one month and six week supplies. Consumers are
instructed to change the vent filters when dirty and replace with new product.
Allergy Free® Filter Cleaner - Used to clean the Aller-Pure® Gold and Aller-Pure® Flex
filters.
Allergy Free® HEPA room air cleaners are available in five different configurations to
meet an individuals needs. These freestanding units are often used when the forced heating and
cooling system is not in use and/or when an individual does not have a forced air system.
These products reduce the amount of airborne contaminants and dust in the air. The products
are designed for specific customer requirements that vary based on room size, number of rooms in
the house and type of heating and/or cooling system installed. Many customers will purchase and
use a furnace filter, vent filtration kit, and a freestanding HEPA room air cleaner.
Dust Mite/Dander, 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.
Approximately 45% of all allergy sufferers are allergic to dust mites. The Company provides a
complete line of products that reduce the allergy sufferers exposure. Using a variety of the mite
reducing products is recommended to achieve maximum relief. Customer testimonials report fewer
headaches and less congestion once they have implemented a dust mite removal strategy.
|
|
|
Allergy Free® Pristine Bed and Pillow Encasings and Hypoallergenic Pillows: The
Pristine® line of encasings offered by Planet is the first choice in hypo-allergenic
protective bed covers to protect household members from dust mite allergens while sleeping.
The Pristine® line is highly recommended by allergy physicians. |
|
|
|
|
Anti-Allergen Products for laundry and upholstery: We offer products in this category
from Whirlpool, Alkaline products and Ecology Works. |
|
|
|
|
Carpet Treatments: Planet markets Capture® Carpet Cleaner, Dust Mite Control and X-Mite
carpet treatments. All of these products work by either killing the dust mites or
denaturing the protein rendering it to a non-allergenic state. |
|
|
|
|
Electrostatic Mops and Dusters: These mops utilize an electrostatic cloth for maximum
efficiency without the use of harsh chemicals that also can be harmful to the allergy
patient. |
|
|
|
|
Dander Reducing Treatments: The Allerpet solutions are rubbed directly on to the animal
and reduce the amount of pet dander. |
Mold Concerns Product Category: Excess mold in the environment can cause severe headaches and
congestion. Allergy Free distributes a full line of products to keep the home environment to an
optimum humidity level. The Damp Check Domes are used in closets and cupboards; the Allersearch
AllerMold is a product used in showers and tubs. We also recommend and sell mold-free shower
curtains and mats.
New ACP offers the following allergen barrier bedding products under its own Allergy Control®
brand. All of these products are contract manufactured to New ACPs specifications for optimal
quality and reliability.
Encasings: New ACP offers three encasing product lines, each with distinct levels of allergen
barrier effectiveness, comfort, durability and price. Its Pristine® Complete and Pristine® Relief
encasings use micro-fiber fabrics. New ACPs Economy encasings use laminated fabrics.
Blankets: New ACP offers Snuggable® blankets, which are made from a top quality 300-weight
Polartec® fleece, which has a high level of softness and warmth without extra weight. Allergy
sufferers benefit from their use specifically because the blankets hold up exceptionally well
through repeated hot water washing, which is the recommended process to eliminate allergens.
21
Comforters: As with its Pristine® Complete encasings, New ACPs comforters are manufactured
with the most advanced Pristine® encasing fabric. It delivers complete dust mite and pet allergen
protection, is luxuriously soft and breathable like fine cotton linens and also includes an
anti-microbial treatment. The comforters are available in both light and heavier weights.
Pillows: New ACP offers two Allergy Control®l Pristine® Deluxe pillow styles a contour neck
style and a gusseted style. As in the case of New ACPs branded comforters, allergy sufferers who
use these branded pillows do not require encasings, since the product itself is manufactured with
highly effective and comfortable allergen barrier fabric.
In addition to Allergy Control® branded bedding products, New ACP offers a comprehensive list
of other products for allergy sufferers. The following includes some of the important brand
offerings per category in New ACPs current product mix:
Bedding: Comforel® mattress cushions, Wamsutta® sheets and pillowcases.
Carpets and Laundry: Allersearch®, Capture®, DustMite®, Bissell® and De-mite® branded products.
Vacuums: A variety of Miele® vacuums, at differing price points.
Air Cleaners: Austin Air®, Blueair®, Honeywell® and Whirlpool® brands.
Air Filters: 3M®, Allergy Pro® and Allergy Zone® brands.
Respiratory (Nebulizers and Compressors): Omron® and Pari® brands.
Product Registrations
Planet does not directly manufacture any product requiring EPA or FDA registration. We sell
products that are registered by their manufacturers.
Licensed Technology and Intellectual Property
Planet licenses technology associated with the production of its Aller-Pure Gold Permanent
Electrostatic Filter. The licensing agreement is with Rick L. Chapman exclusively for Allergy Free.
Patent number 6,056,809. Permanent Air Filter and Method of Manufacture. Specifically a washable
air filter for filtering inlet air to a heating and/or air conditioning system comprising an
assembly formed of: a deformable, non-electrostatic pad of a high-loft, air laid, resin bonded
polymeric fibers, 2 layers of mesh along with 2 layers of expanded steel glue in an aluminum frame.
The licensing agreement is for a term of 10 years or the life of the patent or for the period of
time in which Planet actively sells the Aller-Pure Gold Permanent filter. The agreement 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
Planet is not actively developing new products, although the Company has historically worked
with consultants, filter-testing labs, media manufactures and filter manufacturers to develop new
enhanced filters, and various third parties to develop new bedding products and product line
extensions.
Government Requirements
Planets sales practices are regulated at both the federal and state level. The Telephone
Consumer Protection Act (the TCPA), which was enacted in 1991, authorized and directed the
Federal Communications Commission (the FCC) to enact rules to regulate the telemarketing
industry. In December 1992, the FCC enacted rules, which place restrictions on the methods and
timing of telemarketing sales calls.
On July 3, 2003, the FCC issued a Report and Order setting forth amended rules and regulations
implementing the TCPA. The rules, with a few exceptions, became effective August 25, 2003. These
rules included: (1) restrictions on calls made by automatic dialing and announcing devices; (2)
limitations on the use of predictive dialers for outbound calls; (3) institution of a national
do-not-call registry in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission (the FTC); (4) guidelines
on maintaining an internal do-not-call list and honoring do-not-call requests; and (5)
requirements for transmitting caller identification information. The do-not-call
restrictions took effect October 1, 2003. The caller identification requirements became effective
January 29, 2004. The FCC also included rules restricting facsimile advertisements. These rules
became effective January 1, 2005.
22
The Federal Telemarketing Consumer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1994 authorizes the FTC to issue
regulations designed to prevent deceptive and abusive telemarketing acts and practices. The FTC
issued its Telemarketing Sales Rule (the TSR), which went into effect in January 1996. The TSR
applies to most direct teleservices telemarketing calls and certain operator teleservices
telemarketing calls and generally prohibits a variety of deceptive, unfair or abusive practices in
telemarketing sales.
The FTC amended the TSR in January 2003. The majority of the amendments became effective March
31, 2003. The changes that were adopted that could adversely affect Planet include, but are not
limited to: (1) subjecting a portion of our calls to additional disclosure requirements from which
such calls were previously exempt: (2) prohibiting the disclosure or receipt, for consideration, of
unencrypted consumer account numbers for use in telemarketing; (3) additional disclosure statements
relating to certain products and services; (4) additional authorization requirements for payment
methods that do not have consumer protections comparable to those available under the Electronic
Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) or the truth in Lending Act; and (5) institution of a national
do-not-call registry. The do-not-call restrictions became effective October 1, 2003. Planet
believes it is in compliance with the amendments.
The amendments to the TSR in 2003 may have a material impact on both Planets revenue and
profitability. The addition of a national do-not-call list to the growing number of states that
already have do-not-call lists has reduced the number of households that the Company may call.
Approximately seventy-percent (70%) of Planets historical customers have placed their names on the
national do-not-call list.
In addition to the federal legislation and regulations, there are numerous state statutes and
regulations governing telemarketing activities, which do or may apply to us. For example, some
states also place restrictions on the methods and timing of telemarketing calls and require that
certain mandatory disclosures be made during the course of a telemarketing call. Some states also
require that telemarketers register in the state before conducting telemarketing business in the
state.
We specifically train our telemarketing representatives to handle calls in an approved manner
and believe we comply in all material respects with all federal and state telemarketing
regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that Planet would not be subject to regulatory
challenge for a violation of federal or state law.
Annual fees for federal registrations were $7,300 for 2004 and proposed fees for 2005 are
approximately $11,000. In addition, Planet anticipates spending an additional approximately
$5,000-$8,000 on state fees in 2005.
Customers of Planet
The typical customer for Allergy Free® products is the residential consumer. In excess of one
million customers in this category have purchased the Company products. Additionally, but on a very
limited basis, we sell products to physicians offices as well as HVAC service and duct cleaning
businesses.
The Primary customer for the Companys Allergy-Control® products is the customer who is an
allergy sufferer. In addition, a limited number of domestic retailers purchase ACPs products for
resale to the public. A limited number of international distributors also purchase certain
products for resale to various parties located within their respective countries and/or market
territories.
In selling the Allergy-Control® products, physician offices are an important intermediary
between the Company and the Consumer. The Company receives customer orders from patients of more
than 5,000 identified physicians. The Company has no distribution agreements with its referring
physicians.
Suppliers of Planet
Planet acquires its products from a variety of manufacturers. The primary suppliers of the
Company products include:
American Metal Filter Company (Permanent Electrostatic Filters)
Lifetime Filter Manufacturing, LLC (Disposable Filters)
J. Lamb (Bedding Encasings)
Austin Company (Room Air Cleaners)
Precision Fabrics Group (Micro-Woven Allergen Barrier Fabric)
Shawmut Mills (Laminated Allergen Barrier Fabric)
23
Sales and Marketing
We employ staff to perform and manage sales and marketing functions. Outside resources are
hired on an as-needed basis to augment the internal effort. Currently Planet actively markets on
the Internet, through catalog sales, and inbound and outbound telemarketing.
Employees
As of September 30, 2005, Planet employed 6 full-time and 2 part-time employees at its San
Diego facility and 30 full-time and 7 part-time employees at its Connecticut facility. The Company
also uses periodic temporary labor, as needed.
Properties
The Planet office is located in approximately 5,400 square feet of leased office space in San
Diego, California, subject to a sublease. The monthly rental payment is $6,513 triple net.
The executive offices and warehouse in Connecticut are located in approximately 13,317 square
feet of leased space at 96 Danbury Road, Ridgefield, CT 06877, subject to a lease, which terminates
September 30, 2007, at a monthly rental amount of $14,288. The Company leases additional warehouse
space in Connecticut as needed from time to time.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Since our combination with Allergy Free was accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy
Free, our managements discussion and analysis is based upon the financial condition and results of
operation of Allergy Free for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002 and the years ended
December 31, 2004, and 2003, and the 6-month period ended June 30, 2005. Our managements
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking
statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. 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 Prospectus.
Overview
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Planet evaluates its
estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Planet bases its estimates on historical experience
and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Planets experience
and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of its assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what
Planet anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change Planets
reported results. Planet believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to
Planet, in that they are important to the portrayal of its financial statements and they require
Planets most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of its financial
statements:
Planet Technologies, Inc. (Planet or the Company) formerly known as Planet Polymer
Technologies, Inc. (Planet Polymer) was incorporated in August, 1991, in the State of California
and, since November 30, 2004, is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and
distributing common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation,
air filters, bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. The business
strategy is primarily based upon promotion of products directly to the consumer by telemarketing to
the Companys database of customers who have purchased the Allergy Free Electrostatic Filter.
Planet has an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2005 of $4,171,730.
24
Revenue Recognition
Planet recognizes revenue on its products when the product is shipped. Planet accrues a
provision for estimated returns concurrent with revenue recognition. In addition, a provision for
potential warranty claims is provided for at the time of sale, based upon warranty terms and the
Companys prior experience.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are maintained based on historical payment
patterns, aging of accounts receivable, and actual write-off history. Allowances are also
maintained for future sales returns and allowances based on an analysis of recent trends of product
returns.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, Planet must make assumptions
regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the
respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, Planet may
be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Statements of Operations Data
The following tables set forth certain items in Planets Statement of Operations for the periods
indicated.

Planets net sales decreased 47.7% from $2,258,213 for the twelve months ended December 31,
2003, to $1,180,382 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease was due to several
factors. First, sales in 2003 were impacted positively both from the effects of radio advertising
in late 2002 and early 2003 and from having two active sales locations, with two active
telemarketing staffs. For most of 2004, the Companys San Diego location was the only telemarketing
group in operation. Sales in 2004 were negatively impacted by the Do Not Call (DNC) legislation
which went into effect during the fourth quarter of 2003. Due to DNC requirements, the company was
unable to telemarket its products to a segment of its existing customers.
Cost of Sales decreased 44.2% from $730,801 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to
$407,811 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, due mainly to the associated decrease in
sales revenue (units sold) and a small shift in product mix and higher distribution costs. Overall
gross profit, as a percentage of sales, totaled 65.5% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2004, and 67.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. This change is due to a shift in
product mix in the first quarter of 2004 and higher distribution and other costs resulting from the
relocation to San Diego. This product mix shift was primarily due to an emphasis in the first
quarter of 2004 on the sale of room air cleaners and up-selling across the Companys product line.
The Company expects its profit margin to be impacted in the future by higher distribution costs as
compared to 2004 and 2003.
Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased by 31.4% from $1,874,398 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $1,286,684 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
Of the $587,714 decrease, approximately $239,000 was attributable to discontinuing the national
radio advertising campaign and the remainder of the decrease was related to decreased headcount and
facility expenses with only one location active for most of 2004.
The Other Income (Expense) category includes interest expense of $197,673 and other expenses
of $62,671 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. While interest expense was up slightly
($8,211) over the prior year, other expenses increased
$22,934, or 57.7% over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. This difference was due
mainly to moving costs associated with closing and moving the Companys Houston operations to San
Diego during the first quarter of 2004.

Net sales decreased 40.4% from $3,787,164 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2,258,213
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was due to the decision to discontinue the
national radio advertising campaign in April 2003.
Cost of sales decreased 39.7% from $1,211,128 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $730,801
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 67,6% and 68.0%, respectively. This slight decrease year over year was due to the
relatively consistent product mix during the two years.
Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased by 35.2% from $2,904,389 for the
year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,874,398 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Of this
$1,029,991 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 $189,462
for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $28,019 or 17.4% over the prior year due to
higher outstanding borrowings during the 2003 calendar year.
The following tables set forth certain items in ACPs statements of Operations for the periods
indicated.

Net Sales decreased 6.7% from $8,266,863 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to
$7,714,653 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This was primarily due to a decline in
sales to international distributors, which was caused by several factors. First, the European
economies were relatively weak, particularly in Germany which is the market served by ACPs largest
international distributor. Second, competition and insurance reimbursement systems generally
continued to put pressure on pricing for
allergen barrier bedding products. And third, newly introduced consumer product testing
programs in Germany temporarily put ACPs products at a competitive disadvantage.
26
Gross Profit increased 3.3% from $3,033,959 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to
$3,132,858 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The net impact of price increases and
order discounts implemented during the year contributed to gross margin improvement on catalog and
web site customer purchases. Primary raw material cost reductions lowered the cost of goods sold on
manufactured bedding products. And overall margins benefited from the fact that lower margin
international sales accounted for a smaller percentage of total sales.
Selling and General and Administrative Expenses decreased 8.8% from $3,772,358 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2003 to $3,439,875 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Selling
Expense declined $132,786, or 12.2%. In 2003, ACP implemented an aggressive new physician marketing
program, which included substantial catalog re-design expense, as well as increased catalog
distribution to prospective referring physicians. In 2004, the company re-focused physician
marketing on referring physicians, resulting in reduced catalog distribution expense. General and
Administrative Expense declined $199,697, or 7.4%. Of note was lower expense associated with
computer leasing, due to completion of the original lease period on the companys integrated
operating system installed in 2001.
Result of Operations
The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $469,034 compared to a net loss of
$442,312 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. The Companys revenues decreased by
$278,177, from $720,438 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, to $442,261 for the same period in
2005. This decrease was due to several factors. First, in 2004, for a portion of the first
quarter, there were two telemarketing sales locations actively contacting customers, while in 2005
the San Diego location is the only telemarketing facility. This change accounts for approximately
$100,000 of the shortfall. Second, as noted in the second quarter explanation above, the Company
continues to experience the effects of the Do Not Call legislation, which went into effect during
the fourth quarter of 2003, and affects the ability of the Companys outbound telemarketers to sell
to existing customers. For the six months ended June 20, 2005, $286,000 of shortfall is related to
outbound sales, as compared to the same period in 2004. As an alternative, the Company has been
exploring direct to consumer mail campaigns, which markets products to existing customers via the
mail. Direct mail campaigns were initiated during the first quarter of 2005, and revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $69,000. As noted in the second quarter results, the
Company is planning to aggressively telemarket and direct mail the new customers it gains access to
via acquistion. Sales during the period were also impacted by a backorder of disposable filters,
which totaled approximately $21,000. The backorder situation has been resolved, and the disposable
filters are due to ship during the first month of the third quarter
Cost of revenues decreased to $161,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $251,895
for the same period in 2004, reflecting the decrease in revenues. Overall gross margin, as a
percentage of sales, decreased period over period from 65.0% or $468,543 for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 to 63.6% or $281,174 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease in gross
margin is due primarily to product mix, as the Companys direct mail sales campaigns in the second
quarter stimulated sales of the Companys disposable filter, a product with a lower profit margin
than the permanent filter, which usually accounts for a more significant portion of the Companys
sales. Disposable filter sales accounted for 22.1% and 5.9% of total sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Total operating expenses decreased period over period, totaling $737,929 for the six months
ended June 30, 2005, and $798,920 for the same period in 2004. Of the $60,991 decrease, $48,859 was
in general and administrative expenses, due mainly to moving expenses which were incurred in the
first quarter of 2004, which did not recur in 2005. Duplicate facility expenses were also
eliminated in 2005. Some of these decreases were offset by increases in legal and accounting fees
related to public filings and audit work.
Other expenses decreased $99,656, from $111,935 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, to
$12,279 for the same period in 2005. Of this decrease, $95,415 is due to a reduction of interest
expense related to former shareholder debt that was converted to stock when the Company was
purchased in November 2004.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
Planet cash and cash equivalents totaled $374,923 at December 31, 2004, compared to $128,005
at December 31, 2003. Although the Company used cash totaling $435,833 in its operations during
2004, an advance from a related party of $120,000 and
27
proceeds from investors notes payable of $142,000 offset some of the cash used in operations.
Payments totaling $226,612 were made to pay principal portions of notes payable during the year.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, shares were sold to investors through a private placement
offering which provided operating capital of approximately $645,000 to pay expenses incurred in the
combination of Allergy Free and Planet Polymer and provide further support for sales and marketing
efforts. The Company intends to continue its Private Placement Offering for an additional 90 days
or more in an effort to provide more working capital and consider acquisition opportunities. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or internally
generate cash flows, which may impact the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Inventories at December 31, 2004 decreased $65,128 or 77.4% to $19,012 compared to $84,140 at
December 31, 2003. This decrease continues the trend started in 2003, that as sales and customer
demand slipped during the year, inventory levels dropped as well, as management adjusted ordering
levels to meet demand.
ACP cash totaled $78,107 at December 31, 2004, compared to $165,714 at December 31, 2003. Net
cash used by operating activities was $25,966 during 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2004, ACP
made a payment of short-term borrowings totaling $250,000. Of this amount, $50,000 was provided out
of ACPs working capital and $200,000 was provided out of proceeds of borrowings from the
stockholder.
Inventories at December 31, 2004 decreased by a net amount of $104,712 or 14.5% to $616,471
compared to $721,183 at December 31, 2003. The net inventory decrease reflects managements
adjustment of ordering levels to increase inventory turn rates during the year.
As indicated in the financial statements of ACP included as Exhibit A to this proxy, ACP has
incurred losses of $317,933 and $764,141 during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,473,103 and stockholders deficit of
$4,848,103 at December 31, 2004. In addition, at December 31, 2004, current liabilities exceeded
current assets by $4,997,500.
Planet cash and cash equivalents totaled $139,937 at June 30, 2005. Although the Company used
cash totaling $565,912 for its operations during the six-month period, the Company also repaid
$100,000 of advances from a related party and paid principal payments totaling $66,315 on notes
payable. During the period, shares were sold to investors through a private placement offering
that was originally initiated during the fourth quarter of 2004. Proceeds related to stock sales
totaled $530,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company intends to continue its
Private Placement Offering for another 30 days or more in an effort to provide more working capital
and for acquisition opportunities.
Inventory levels decreased $7,091 during the six-month period, and the Company paid down
routine accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company has also incurred and capitalized
expenses totaling $32,759 through June 30, 2005, related to its efforts to acquire Allergy Control
Products, Inc.
Since June 30, 2005, the Company completed a private placement of approximately 820,000 shares
raising approximately $2.05 million and completed the merger with ACP. We anticipate that our
existing resources combined with revenues will enable us to maintain our current and planned
operations through the next twelve months.
The Companys historic losses among other factors, raise substantial doubt as to the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that additional outside financing or a
merger with a synergistic partner would be beneficial in alleviating this going concern problem.
However, it cannot assure that sufficient financing on acceptable terms will be available. With the
merger of ACP and Planet, the combined Company will strive to grow its operations, combine those
operations into ACPs Ridgefield, Connecticut facility and develop new markets for Planets and
ACPs products. These combined efforts are intended to create a profitable Company with increased
liquidity and capital resources to grow the business and remain a going concern. If the Company
cannot successfully integrate the two businesses and obtain sufficient financing, the Company may
not realize the expected benefits of the merger and eliminate going concern issue for the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
On March 7, 2005, Planet Technologies, Inc. (Planet) and Allergy Control Products, Inc. (ACP)
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Agreement) pursuant to which ACP merged with and
become a subsidiary of Planet and for which Planet issued and delivered to the sole-shareholder of
ACP approximately 600,000 shares of Planet common stock (or 300 shares of Planet common
30
stock for
each one share of ACP common stock outstanding). As a result, after the closing of the Agreement,
the sole-shareholder of ACP owns approximately 15% of the voting shares of Planet. As a condition
to and simultaneously with, the effective time of the Merger, Planet caused to be paid to Jonathan
T. Dawson the sum of $1,500,000 cash in full payment of all indebtedness of ACP to Mr. Dawson its
sole-shareholder.
Due to the nature of the transaction, the business combination will be accounted for under the
purchase accounting method, with Planet as the accounting acquirer, as defined by SFAS 141
Business Combinations. In accordance with paragraph 35 of SFAS 141, Planet will allocate the
purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values
at the date of acquisition. In accordance with paragraph 22 of SFAS 141 and EITF Consensus 95-19,
the value of the shares of Planets common stock issued totaling $1,200,000 is based on the average
market price of $2.00 over a reasonable period of time before and after the two companies have
reached agreement on the purchase price and the proposed transaction is announced. All of the
acquired assets and liabilities assumed have been identified in the proforma statements above. In
addition, there are no intangible assets identified at this time that meet the recognition criteria
in paragraph 39 of SFAS 141, regardless of whether they had been recorded in the financial
statements of the acquired entity. For purposes of this pro forma financial presentation, it is
assumed that the fair value of the assets and liabilities of ACP is equal to the respective
carrying values based on the current nature of the items involved as well as the overall respective
dollar amounts. A final allocation of the purchase price will be made that may result in a change
from the amounts shown above.
(2) |
|
PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS |
a To record the ACPs sole-stockholder cash contribution of $500,000 to capital prior to closing
for termination benefits for one of the officers of ACP.
b To record proceeds from the private placement of 600,000 shares of Planets common stock at $2.50
per share to complete the merger.
c To record the cash payment of $1,500,000 for the complete settlement of all indebtedness to ACPs
sole-shareholder.
d To eliminate ACPs (the acquired company) historical shareholders equity (deficiency) accounts
and to record the issuance of 600,000 shares of Planet common stock for the remaining net assets of
ACP. The aggregate cost of the transaction is $2,700,000
comprised of a cash payment of $1,500,000 and issuance of stock valued at $1,200,000. The assets
and liabilities of ACP had carrying values equal to fair value. The amount of assets acquired net
of liabilities assumed totaled $254,961. The costs of completing the transaction are estimated to
total approximately $100,000. The aggregate cost of the transaction in excess of the fair value of
the net assets acquired is $2,545,039 which will be recorded as goodwill. At the closing of the
transaction, other intangible assets may be identified that will result in a reduction of the
amount of the purchase price attributed to goodwill.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), a
revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requiring that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock
options, be measured and recognized in the financial statements using the fair value of the
compensation awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for us for the first interim or
annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005; therefore, the Company will adopt the
new requirements no later than the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2006. Adoption of the
expensing requirements will reduce the Companys reported earnings. Management is currently
evaluating the two methods of adoption allowed by SFAS 123R; the modified-prospective transition
method, and the modified-retrospective transition method.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle
facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be
recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

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

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 The Company:
Planet Technologies, Inc. (Planet or the Company) formerly known as Planet Polymer
Technologies, Inc. (Planet Polymer) was incorporated in August, 1991, in the State of California,
and, since November 30, 2004, is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and
distributing common products for use by allergy sensitive persons, including, without limitation,
air filters, bedding, room air cleaners, and related allergen avoidance products. The business
strategy is primarily based upon promotion of products directly to the consumer by telemarketing to
the Companys database of customers who have purchased the Allergy Free Electrostatic Filter.
On November 30, 2004, Planet acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC (Allergy) for
approximately 1.65 million shares of Planet stock (after giving effect to a 50:1 reverse stock
split), a convertible note of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable
within three years, and assumption of debt. As a result, Allergy owned approximately 92.7% of the
voting shares of Planet. Since the stockholders of Allergy received the majority of the voting
shares of Planet, the former managing member of Allergy continued on as the president of the
Company, and representatives of Allergy hold three of the five seats on the Companys Board of
Directors, the merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy, whereby Allergy was the
accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Planet was the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).
Since, at the closing, Planet was a non-operating shell corporation no longer meeting the
definition of a business as defined in EITF Consensus 98-3, Determining Whether a Nonmonetary
Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business, the transaction was equivalent
to Allergy issuing stock for the net liabilities of Planet, accompanied by a recapitalization. The
accounting was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that there were no
adjustments to the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the
accompanying statements of operations and cash flows are the historical financial statements of
Allergy Free.
Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, Planet Polymer distributed to a trustee for
the benefit of Planet Polymer shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004, the right to receive
all royalties payable to Planet pursuant to those certain sale and licensing agreements between
Planet and Agway, Inc., related to Planets Fresh Seal® and Optigen® technology and that certain
purchase, sale and license agreement between Planet and Ryer Enterprises, LLC, relating to Planets
AQUAMIM® technology. Prior to acquiring Allergy, Planet Polymer was an advanced materials company
that developed and licensed unique polymer materials. All operations related to Planet Polymer have
been discontinued.
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies:
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the
satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Successful transition to
profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining a level of sales adequate to support the
Companys cost structure. The Company has suffered recurring losses resulting in an accumulated
deficit of $3,702,696, a shareholders deficiency of $504,400, and a working capital deficiency of
$490,715 as of December 31, 2004. Management intends to continue to finance operations primarily
through its potential ability to generate cash flows from equity offerings, including restricted
stock. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or
internally generate cash flows, which may impact the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying balance sheet does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may result from the potential inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
F-7
PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of credit risk:
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at various financial institutions.
Highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are
considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a cash balance that
exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limitation for coverage of $100,000 by $235,047.
Inventory:
Inventory consists of finished products which are purchased from established vendors. Inventory is
stated at the lower of cost, determined by the First-In, First-Out method, or market. Inventory is
reduced by provisions for excess and slow moving inventory commensurate with known or estimated
exposures. The Company stopped manufacturing its permanent filters in February 2004, when the
manufacturing was contracted out to a manufacturer. The Companys manufacturing equipment is used
by this vendor to produce its filters.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related lease.
Stock-based compensation:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, provides for the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for stock
options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
which only requires charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of
the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent
measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has
elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB 25. By
making that election, it is required by SFAS 123 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure to provide pro forma
disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been applied.
During 2004 and 2003, the Company granted options to its employees and board of directors at the
fair value of the common stock. The weighted-average fair value of these options using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $3.48 and $0.05 utilizing an expected life of 10 and 4
years, an expected volatility of 237% and 223%, no dividend yield and a risk free interest rate of
4.27% and 4.65% respectively.

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the
fair value method at the grant dates for awards under the Companys plans, the Companys net loss
and net loss per share for 2004 and 2003 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts
indicated below.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, all other issuances of common stock, warrants, stock
options or other equity instruments to non-employees as the consideration for goods or services
received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
(unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). Generally, the
fair value of any options, warrants or similar equity investments will be estimated based on the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Net Loss Per Share:
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and is presented for basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common
shares what would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued.
The Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants
from the calculation of diluted loss per share because all such securities are considered
anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share.
The total number of potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 468,494 and 27,333, respectively.
Advertising:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising costs charged
to operations were $57,139 and $263,935 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment of goods, with a provision for
estimated returns recorded at that time. In addition, a provision for potential warranty claims is
provided for at the time of sale, based upon warranty terms and the Companys prior experience.
F-9
PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company sells most of its products on a prepaid basis. Once the credit payment has been
verified, the Company ships the products. Limited terms are extended to selected customers. Credit
is extended for a 30-day term. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable
and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and
collections and current credit considerations.
Shipping and handling costs:
The Company expenses shipping and handling costs as incurred as part of cost of sales.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Current income tax expense is the
amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. Deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end (temporary differences)
based on enacted laws and statutory rates applicable for the periods in which the temporary
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is considered more than likely not to be
realized.
Pre merger losses of Allergy were not subject to the Companys federal and state income tax.
Historically, Allergy has not been a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes, and thus no
income tax expense had been recorded in the financial statements. Income or losses of the Company
were taxed to the members in their respective returns. However, in the State of California, limited
liability companies were subject to an annual fee based on the gross income of the company. In
addition, the calculation of the tax provision does include the pre-merger net operating loss of
Planet Polymer, which, had been eliminated against equity accounts as part of the acquisition
agreement and for the purposes of preparing these financial statements.
401(K) Plan:
The Company provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the 401(k) Plan) in which all
full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Eligible employees may contribute
pre-tax amounts to the 401(k) Plan subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitations. Company
contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were no
Company contributions charged to operations related to the 401(k) Plan in 2004 and 2003.
Valuation of long-lived assets:
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Company carry a ten-year warranty. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty
liability quarterly and adjusts the amount as necessary. The warranty liability is included in
accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2004, the warranty accrual
was $130,961. The majority of the warranty accrual relates to products that were sold prior to the
acquisition of Allergy Free L.P. by Allergy Free, LLC in November 2000. As part of the asset
purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to provide the warranty coverage on these products
through their original warranty period. Changes in the Companys warranty liability were as

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

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

|
Less: valuation allowances |
|
|
(4,863,000 |
) |
|
|
|
|
|
Net deferred tax assets |
|
$ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the ultimate realization of the potential benefits of the Companys net operating loss
carryforwards is considered unlikely by management, the Company has offset the deferred tax assets
attributable to those potential benefits through a valuation allowance and, accordingly, the
Company did not recognize any benefit from income taxes in the accompanying statement of
operations.
At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and California
state income tax purposes of approximately $12,981,000 and $3,647,000, respectively. The Companys
California loss carryforwards expire in 2003 through 2014 and Federal loss carryforwards begin to
expire in 2011. The Company also has available tax credit carryforwards for Federal and California
tax purposes that aggregate approximately $142,000 that begin to expire in 2004.
During 2004, as a result of the reverse acquisition with Allergy Free, the Company experienced a
change of ownership event as defined in Section 382 of the IRS Code. Accordingly, utilization of
the net operating loss carryforwards and credits will be subject to a substantial annual
limitation. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits
before utilization.
Note 7 Shareholders equity:
Warrants:
At December 31, 2004, warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $208.125 per share were outstanding. The warrants expire in 2005 and 2006.
All of the warrants outstanding are exercisable. All per share rights and benefits are subject to
anti-dilution and other adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.
Options:
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had two stock option plans, a 2000 Stock Option Plan (the
2000 Option Plan) and a 1995 Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Option Plan).
The 2000 Option Plan provides for 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan,
together with 100,000 additional shares of common stock for issuance to the extent that outstanding
options previously granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan expire unexercised. The 2000 Option
Plan provides for the discretionary grant of options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), and stock
bonuses to employees and directors of and consultants to the Company. Options granted under the
2000 Plan may be either incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or non-statutory stock options. In March 2005, the
Board of Directors approved an amendment to the plan to increase the authorized number of shares to
250,000 shares, which will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the next meeting of
shareholders.
F-12
PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Under the 1995 Option Plan, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to acquire an
aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and
consultants to the Company. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company
whereas non-statutory options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants.
At December 31, 2004, there were no shares of the Companys common stock available for future grant
under either option plan.
Under both stock option plans, the terms of stock options granted are determined by the Board of
Directors. Stock options may be granted for periods of up to ten years at a price per share not
less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant for incentive
stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the
date of grant for non-statutory stock options. In the case of stock options granted to employees,
directors or consultants who, at the time of grant of such options, own more than 10% of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant. Additionally, the term of
stock option grants is limited to five years if the grantee owns in excess of 10% of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company at the time of grant. The vesting provisions of
individual options may vary but in each case will provide for vesting of at least 20% per year of
the total number of shares subject to the option.

PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Planet Technologies, Inc. (Planet or
the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of Form
10-QSB, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
In managements opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2005. For additional information, refer to the Companys financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004, included elsewhere herein.
2. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the
Companys assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining a level of sales
adequate to support the Companys cost structure. The Company has suffered recurring losses
resulting in an accumulated deficit of $4,171,730, a shareholders deficiency of $443,434, and a
working capital deficiency of $464,495 as of June 30, 2005. Management intends to continue to
finance operations primarily through its potential ability to generate cash flows from equity
offerings. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such
financing or internally generate cash flows, which may impact the Companys ability to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the potential
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
On November 30, 2004, Planet acquired the business of Allergy Free, LLC (Allergy) for
approximately 1.65 million shares of Planet stock (after giving effect to a 50:1 reverse stock
split), a convertible note of $274,300 bearing interest at 5.5% per annum and due and payable
within three years, and assumption of debt. As a result, Allergy owned approximately 92.7% of the
voting shares of Planet. Since the stockholders of Allergy received the majority of the voting
shares of Planet, the former managing member of Allergy continued on as the president of the
Company, and representatives of Allergy hold three of the five seats on the Companys Board of
Directors, the merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Allergy, whereby Allergy was the
accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Planet was the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).
Since, at the closing, Planet was a non-operating shell corporation no longer meeting the
definition of a business as defined in EITF Consensus 98-3, Determining Whether a Nonmonetary
Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business, the transaction was equivalent
to Allergy issuing stock for the net liabilities of Planet, accompanied by a recapitalization. The
accounting was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that there were no
adjustments to the historic carrying values of the assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the
accompanying statements of operations and cash flows are the historical financial statements of
Allergy Free.
Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, Planet Polymer distributed to a trustee for
the benefit of Planet Polymer shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004, the right to receive
all royalties payable to Planet pursuant to those certain sale and licensing agreements between
Planet and Agway, Inc., related to Planets Fresh Seal® and Optigen® technology and that certain
purchase, sale and license agreement between Planet and Ryer Enterprises, LLC, relating to Planets
AQUAMIM® technology.
F-19
PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Prior to acquiring Allergy, Planet Polymer was an advanced materials company that developed and
licensed unique polymer materials. All operations related to Planet Polymer have been discontinued.
On March 7, 2005, Planet entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allergy Control Products,
Inc. (ACP). The merger transaction will be structured pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
agreed upon by both parties, and is subject to approval by each partys respective shareholders and
other contingencies. Pursuant to the terms of the merger transaction the shareholder of ACP will be
issued 600,000 shares of Planet common stock. In addition, ACP debt to its shareholder in the
approximate amount of $1,500,000 will be paid in full by Planet.
3. Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and is presented for basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
The Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants
from the calculation of diluted loss per share because all such securities are considered
anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share. The total number of
potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months
ended June 30, 2005, was 308,324, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 4,090.
4. Stock-Based Compensation
As explained in Note 2 in the Form 10-KSB, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, provides for the use of a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue
to measure compensation cost for stock options granted to employees using the intrinsic value
method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25),
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which only requires charges to compensation expense for
the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted
(or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire
the stock. The Company has elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method under APB 25. By making that election, it is required by SFAS 123 and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure
to provide pro forma disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been
applied.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company granted options to its employees and board of
directors at the fair value of the common stock. The weighted-average fair value of these options
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $3.00 per share, utilizing an expected life of 10
years, an expected volatility of 216%, no dividend yield and a risk free interest rate of 4.22%.
In January 2005, an individual became a member of the Companys board of directors and was granted
an option to purchase 500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The
options vest one year from the date of grant and expire on January 18, 2015.
In January 2005, the members of the board of directors were granted options to purchase 40,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Two company officers were also
granted options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock each at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share. All of these options vest 25% one year from date of grant, and 1/36th each month
thereafter, and expire on January 25, 2015.
F-20
PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2005, the Companys chairman of the board of directors was granted an option to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The options vest 25% one
year from date of grant and 1/36th each month thereafter, and expire on January 25,
2015.
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the
fair value method at the grant dates for awards under the Companys plans, the Companys net loss
and net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been increased to
the pro forma amounts indicated below.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, all other issuances of common stock, warrants, stock
options or other equity instruments to non-employees as the consideration for goods or services
received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
(unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). Generally, the
fair value of any options, warrants or similar equity investments will be estimated based on the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
5. Operating lease
The Company has extended its office sublease through December 31, 2005, for a base rent of $7,267
per month, plus common area maintenance charges. The original sublease expired on July 31, 2005.
The sublease is from a related party.

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

NOTE 8. CONCENTRATIONS
The Company purchases all of its fabric for a major product line, which represents 72% of
total fabric purchases, from one mill. Additionally, 20% of fabric is purchased from another mill.
Although there are comparable products, a change in suppliers could cause delay in acquiring
fabric, which could ultimately affect operating results.
The Company subcontracts approximately 15% of its production activities to a fabricator in
Slovakia. Inventory at this fabricator amounted to $80,105 at December 31, 2004 and $65,819 at
December 31, 2003.
NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) retirement plan that provides for elective pretax contributions to
the plan by all employees and for discretionary matching contributions by the Company. The Company
made no contributions to the plan in 2004 or 2003.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As part of an agreement and plan of merger dated March 7, 2005 with Planet Technologies, Inc.
(Planet), the Companys sole stockholder will receive 600,000 shares of Planet stock in exchange
for all of his stock in the Company. Additionally, the sole stockholder will receive a payment of
$1,500,000 of his note receivable and will contribute the balance of the note in the amount
$3,350,000 to capital.
The stockholder of the Company has also agreed to make a cash contribution of $500,000 to
capital prior to closing to provide for termination benefits for one of the officers of the
Company.
NOTE 11. GOING CONCERN
As indicated on the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses in the amount of
$317,933 in 2004 and $764,141 in 2003 and the deficiency in assets at December 31, 2004 amounted to
$4,848,103. At December 31, 2004 current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,997,500.
In the event that the Company is unable to achieve profitable operating results and sufficient
cash flow or the stockholder ceases to fund operations, it is uncertain the Company will be able to
continue in existence. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
reclassification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Planets Restated Articles of Incorporation (Articles) include provisions to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 204(a)(10) under the
General Corporation Law of California (the California Law). Planets Articles also include
provisions that authorize Planet to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Sections 204 and 317 of the California Law. Planets Bylaws also provide Planet with
the authority to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the
California Law.
Pursuant to Sections 204 and 317 of the California Law, a corporation generally has the power
to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses
incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a
party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to
a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may not eliminate liability: (i) for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct
or knowing and culpable violations of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that the individual believes
to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the
absence of good faith on the part of the individual; (iii) for any transaction from which the
individual derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or omissions involving a reckless
disregard for the individuals duty to the corporation or its shareholders when the individual was
aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders;
(v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to any
abdication of the individuals duty to the corporation or its shareholders; or (vii) for improper
distribution to shareholders and loans to directors and officers. Also, a corporation may not
eliminate liability for any act or omission occurring prior to the date on which the corporation
authorizes indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents.
Planet has entered into agreements with certain of its directors and executive officers that
require Planet to indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection
with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Planet or any of its
affiliated enterprises, provides such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Planet and, with respect to
any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The
indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a
claim for indemnification thereunder.

Item 28. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Securities Act);
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement; provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in
II-4
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section (d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies
that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements of filing on Form
SB-2 and authorizes this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in
the City of San Diego, State of California, on October 11, 2005.
