NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

     In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of Planet Polymer 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 management’s 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, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For additional information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002, contained in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Until the most recent period, the Company has incurred losses since inception. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14,229,722. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company does not believe that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated revenue will be adequate to satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through June 30, 2004, to continue as a public reporting company without raising additional capital. The Company has reduced staff and operating expenses, reduced or sold non-Agway or agricultural assets, while continuing to provide technical research and development for Agway’s FreshSeal and Optigen products activities through an independent consultant. The Company’s future capital requirements will be dependent upon many factors, including, but not limited to, costs associated with the continued support of licenses on the Company’s proprietary polymer materials, costs associated with the enforcement of the Company’s patents, and costs associated with the administration of the Company. Although possible, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flow and maintain profitability through December 31, 2003. The Company is evaluating alternatives to raise additional equity and/or reduce the cost structure of the Company.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recovered certain assets previously sold to Ryer Industries, LLC (“Ryer”), due to non-payment by Ryer. In May 2003, the Company resold these assets to Ryer Enterprises, LLC, a newly created entity that intends to continue the commercial use of the related AQUAMIM assets. The sales price was $301,000, with $25,000 received in May and the remainder payable over two years. In addition, the Company has licensed to Ryer Enterprises, LLC, certain patent rights for future royalties payable monthly over an eight year period, after which the Company will transfer the patents to Ryer Enterprises, LLC.

3.   Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and is presented for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive

F-5


Table of Contents

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock (using the “if converted” method) and exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) for all periods.

     The Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, because all such securities are either anti-dilutive for those periods or their impact was insignificant. 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was 1,414,941.

4.   Income Taxes

     As the ultimate realization of the potential benefits of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is considered unlikely by management, the Company has offset the deferred tax assets attributable to those potential benefits through valuation allowances and, accordingly, the Company did not recognize any credits for income taxes in the accompanying condensed statements of operations to offset its pre-tax losses.

5.   Stock-Based Compensation

     As explained in Note 10 in the Form 10-KSB, the Company accounts for stock options granted to employees based on their intrinsic values under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations,” and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Since the exercise price of all of the options granted by the Company to its employees has been equal to or greater than fair value, the Company has not recognized any earned or unearned compensation costs in its financial statements in connection with those options. The Company’s historical net income (loss) per share and pro forma net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, assuming compensation cost had been determined based on the fair value of all options at the respective dates of grant determined using a pricing model consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123 are set forth below:

6.   Agway Contract Amendments

     During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company restructured certain patent sale and license agreements with Agway resulting in the receipt of $130,000 in license revenue related to the FreshSeal and Optigen products. The amended agreements also call for the Company to receive future royalty payments based on varying percentages of future revenues generated by Agway from sales of related products. No royalties are expected to be received from the sales of the underlying products until the fourth quarter of 2003.

7.   Subsequent Events

     The Company experienced no significant events subsequent June 30, 2003.

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

OVERVIEW

     Since Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (“Planet” or the “Company”) was founded in 1991 substantially all of the Company’s resources have been devoted to the development and commercialization of its technologies and products. This has included the expenditure of funds to develop the Company’s corporate infrastructure and support the Company’s research and development of products, marketing, licensing of products to third parties and corporate administration.

     Until this most recent period Planet has incurred operating losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2003 of approximately 14.2 million. The Company’s only anticipated source of revenues is from royalties from Agway, Inc., and Ryer Enterprises, LLC, which are not expected to be sufficient to maintain profitability through December 31, 2003.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS

     The Company’s revenues decreased to approximately $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $43,000 for the same period in 2002. However, year-to-date revenue has increased $89,000 from the same period in 2002. This increase is attributable to the receipt of $130,000 in license revenue from Agway, Inc., related to the restructuring of certain patent sale and licensing agreements with Agway, Inc., with respect to the FreshSeal and Optigen products. Additional royalty revenues from Agway, Inc. are not expected until the fourth quarter of 2003 or later. For the period ended June 30, 2003, no royalties were realized relating to AQUAMIM due to the default by Ryer Industries, LLC. However, the approximately $11,000 in revenue generated is primarily related to consulting services provided by the Company to Ryer Enterprises, LLC. In April 2003 the Company recovered the assets sold to Ryer Industries, LLC, and by agreement dated as of May 1, 2003, resold the assets to Ryer Enterprises, LLC, a newly formed entity which intends to continue the commercial employment of the AQUAMIM products. The sale price for the AQUAMIM assets is $301,000 with a down payment of $25,000 and twenty-four monthly installments payable in the amount of $11,500 commencing June 1, 2003. In addition, the Company has licensed to Ryer Enterprises, LLC, the patent rights relating to the AQUAMIM products for royalties which will be payable monthly forty-five days after the close of each month for 8 years after which Planet has agreed to transfer the patents to Ryer Enterprises, LLC, provided it is not in default.

     Cost of revenues decreased to approximately $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from approximately $32,000 for the same period in 2002. This decrease was primarily due to the fact the Company no longer directly sells any products.

     Total operating expenses decreased to approximately $109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from approximately $249,000 for the same period in 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction of the remaining staff which was offset in part by increased legal expenses

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

due to the bankruptcy of Agway, Inc., the restructuring of agreements with Agway, and the default by Ryer Industries, LLC, in its remaining obligations to purchase the Company’s AQUAMIM assets.

     The Company incurred no research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2003 compared to approximately $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company anticipates limited or no further research and development activities on new products.

     Other income, net increased from approximately $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, to approximately $279,000 for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of fixed assets and license revenue from Agway.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company used cash of approximately $51,000 for operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Such funds were used primarily for administrative support.

     The Company does not believe that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated revenue will be adequate to satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through March 2004 to continue operations as a public reporting company without raising additional capital. The Company is evaluating alternatives to raise additional equity and/or reduce the cost structure of the Company by de-registering under the Securities Exchange Act and continuing as a privately held Company. If the Company de-registers it is likely that no market will exist for the Company’s shares. As a privately held company with the Company’s activities limited to collecting royalties from third parties, the Company would endeavor to hold expenses to a minimum and dividend net royalty income to shareholders. Although Agway, Inc., presented the Company with revenue projections from the sale of the FreshSeal and Optigen products being commercialized by Agway, which indicate that significant royalties could be realized by Planet in as early as year 2004 and increasing significantly for a ten year period, the ability of Agway or its successor to realize such revenues is subject to material risks, including, without limitation, the ability to obtain a no objection position from the FDA relating to Optigen, market acceptance of the products, product production, and competition from competing products. Due to the continued material risks associated with the ultimate commercialization of these products, no assurance can be made that net royalty income will ever be adequate to pay significant dividends, if any. The Company understands that Agway is in the process of trying to sell the operating divisions of Agway responsible for both the FreshSeal product and the Optigen product. The effect any such sale will have on the timing and amount of royalties which may be received by the Company is uncertain. In addition to royalty revenues from FreshSeal, if Agway is successful in selling the FreshSeal business, the Company may receive from the purchase price up to $200,000 pursuant to the Company’s agreement with Agway.

     There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will result in additional funds or that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Item 3 — Controls and Procedures

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Such evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

     There were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the date of our evaluation.
