Naturally Iowa Inc., an Organic and All-Natural Dairy Processor and Producer, Completes Reverse Merger and Becomes a Publicly Traded Company

13/09/07 Naturally Iowa Inc. the world's first and only dairy that is manufacturing biodegradable bottles made from corn in its dairy processing production plant, announced it is a publicly traded Company, completing a reverse merger into a public entity.

Naturally Iowa Inc., (http://www.naturallyiowa.com) operating through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Naturally Iowa, LLC, is a fully certified organic dairy processor that produces superior organic and all-natural fluid milk, ice cream and drinkable yogurt. Naturally Iowa distinguishes itself from other dairy processors and producers by offering the highest quality organic and all-natural dairy products packaged in an environmentally-friendly, sustainable container that completely biodegrades in 60 to 100 days in an industrial compost facility.

"Our management team believes the time is right and it is in the best interest of Naturally Iowa to enter the public marketplace," said William Horner, Naturally Iowa's co-founder and CEO. "With the continued growth of the organic and all-natural dairy sector into the mainstream of the U.S. and international marketplace, we feel the advantages of being a publicly traded company at this point in history will benefit Naturally Iowa and allow us to achieve sustainable growth for the future."

According to a nine year study by the Organic Trade Association (OTA) for their Manufacturer's Survey, with data gathered from 1997 to 2005, demand for organic and natural dairy products has grown at an average rate of 21.46% percent annually in the United States for the period of their study.

Given the present market environment, Naturally Iowa will seek to grow  the Company internally as well as pursue strategic acquisitions. As a private company, Naturally Iowa, LLC purchased the assets of Falk's Classic Homemade Ice Cream Company in 2004, a major milestone for the Company. Falk's originated on a dairy farm in Essex, Iowa, in 1933, and Naturally Iowa has continued the tradition of using only the freshest, all-natural ingredients in addition to adding an organic line to the Falk's label. "We believe that by positioning the Company in the public markets, this will not only enhance our ability to grow internally, it will also be invaluable in allowing the Company to continue to make strategic acquisitions such as Falk's, as we move forward," Horner said.

Along with the clear market trend toward organic and natural foods is the movement toward sustainable resources, and socially responsible, environmentally-friendly corporate practices. Naturally Iowa is positioned to be a leader in sustainable resource management with its biodegradable dairy containers, and socially responsible farming and dairy production processes. "Naturally Iowa is the first and only dairy in the world that is certified to produce biodegradable PLA containers made from corn. These containers will biodegrade in 60 to 100 days in an industrial landfill or compost pile. Additionally, we are the only dairy in the world that is IMS (Interstate Milk Shippers) approved to ship PLA bottles across state lines and internationally," Horner said.
