Styles continues, "As we begin the process of expanding our distribution model, we also want to continue educating the public about the true nature of plant care.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic Plant Health, LLC (OPHI), (PINKSHEETS: OPHI) an exclusive manufacturer and distributor of organic-based fertilizers and soil conditioners, announced today that company founders Billy Styles and Alan Talbert met with corporate representatives from Lowe's Home Improvement last week as part of Lowe's annual Vendor Line Review process for 2012.
"The line review is only the first step towards getting OPHI products into wide distribution at Lowe's retail centers," said Styles, company President & CEO. He continued, "We have great respect for Lowe's process and are complying with their requests as we intend to make the most of this potential opportunity. We'll continue to work with Lowe's and any other opportunities available to us as we explore the mass distribution of Organic Plant Health products."
"I was extremely pleased with the results of last week's meeting," stated Alan Talbert, company Vice President & COO. "Lowe's is one of the premier retail corporations in the entire world. The possibility of having Organic Plant Health products available in Lowe's retail stores is an exciting opportunity for the company and would significantly increase our shareholder value."
When asked about a timetable for possible acceptance by Lowe's, Styles answered, "Typically the evaluation and acceptance process with any major retailer is lengthy. This particular evaluation process is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2011. Having said that, let's not put the cart before the horse! We will certainly monitor the situation closely, but more importantly we will continue to work hard every day to increase our efficiencies and expand our footprint across America, whether or not Lowe's is part of our future."
Mr. Styles also said, "Our newly forged relationship with Kaleidoscope (Chicago-based branding and package design firm) is already paying dividends as their creative team was able to assist us greatly in preparation for the Lowe's meeting. I have recently met personally with several of our retail partners to share the progress we are making with our new branding strategy, and have received very positive feedback. They are all extremely pleased with the new look and are eager to receive the new packaging in their stores."

Organic Plant Health Announces 2011 First Quarter Results - Recording a 44% Increase in Wholesale Revenues and a 38.5% Reduction in Total Liabilities
Press Release Source: Organic Plant Health, Inc. On Tuesday June 7, 2011, 5:01 pm EDT
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic Plant Health, Inc., (OPHI), (OTC-PK:OPHI) an exclusive manufacturer and distributor of organic-based fertilizers and soil conditioners, released their financial results for the first quarter of 2011. Sales for the period ending March 31, 2011 totaled $268,911.48. Management has identified several key ratios that show significant improvement in first quarter 2011 over the same period a year ago, signaling continued progress associated with management's focus on increasing the efficiency of operations. Revenues from its wholesale business realized a 44% increase for the same period over the prior year. The company also experienced a significant decrease in debt with Current Liabilities down 41.4% to $428,821.36, Accounts Payable down 37% to $215,481.01 and Accounts Receivable up 33% to $103,893.38. Total liabilities for the Company decreased by 38.5% to $519,159.86.
"We are extremely pleased with our first quarter results," stated Billy Styles, CEO of Organic Plant Health. "Typically our first quarter only comprises about 20% of annual revenues since the quarter falls almost entirely during the winter season. This year our first quarter may very well represent an even smaller percentage since we recently added an additional revenue stream by launching our e-commerce website in time for the second quarter. This will have a significant impact on sales as we continue through the rest of the year, and as our company brand becomes better known in the industry." Mr. Styles went on to say, "More importantly these numbers clearly show the financial course of efficiency and debt reduction that our company has taken over the past eighteen months. In Q1- 2011 we were able to realize significant reduction in our debt ratios over 2010. This is a direct result of our efforts to better utilize our resources and create a more efficient company. We are fully committed to fiscal responsibility and to increasing value for all of our shareholders."
The company also reiterated that they are in the final stages prior to filing their S-1 registration with the SEC. As previously announced a NY Securities law firm retained by the company is making progress on preparing the required documents and the company is now in the process of selecting a banking partner. Mr. Styles commented, "This is a very important decision that we will not make lightly. We have identified some highly respected equity funding candidates but I want to consider a few more before we make our final choice."
