Dear Reader,
The U.S. organic food & beverage industry continued to show dramatic
growth in 2007, reaching $18.9 billion in consumer sales.[1] As this dynamic growth continues, reliable sourcing of top quality, certified
safe, and certified organic ingredients is a major problem for manufacturers.
While 2007 was another year of stellar expansion for the U.S. organic industry,
with most organic product categories experiencing double-digit growth,
the supply side of the industry has not kept up with the growing organic
demand.
The primary business of Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ORGC),
our featured company today, is to source and sell various organic farm
crops through arrangements with farmers, co-ops and other growers, to food
processors, grocery stores and food retailers internationally.
Organic Alliance is poised to become a leader in this massive, ultra-hot
sector because of its commitment to deliver products that are certified
top quality, safe tested, and certified organic at the source. And they've done it before! The company's CEO, Tom Morrison, was
formerly the CEO of Superior Farming, the largest organic farming company
in the world. Additionally, ORGC board member, James Haworth was
recently promoted to Chairman of Lotus Supercenters, China's 4th largest
hypermarket chain. Lotus, through its subsidiaries, are engaged
in the operation of large scale one-stop hypermarkets, mainly located in
the north and south of China.
Organic
Alliance recently announced its merger with NB Design and Licensing, Inc.
under which Organic Alliance, Inc. will be the surviving public company
through a share exchange.

Latest Research
Shows Strong Consumer Demand for Organic Foods
Study released
at global food conference indicates that despite price inflation, more
consumers are buying healthy foods than ever before
SAN
ANTONIO, Texas, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Organic Alliance,
Inc. (Pink Sheets: ORGC - News) highlights a new study released at the Healthy Foods International Exposition
and Conference which indicates that more consumers than ever before are
turning to healthy and organic foods. This comes at a time when US Consumer
Confidence readings are reaching historic lows.
The
study -- which solicited feedback from the industry and from more than
1,000 consumers in November 2007 and again in May 2008 -- found that respondents
indicated they were spending approximately 7.7% more on healthy foods in
May than they did in November -- $191.45 per household per month, compared
with $177.69. "This appears to be both an acceptance of actual inflation
in organic food prices and a deepening desire to find alternatives to conventionally
produced goods," the study noted. The survey indicated that 97.7% of respondents
spent a portion of their grocery budgets on healthy foods in May, up from
96.5% in November.
"The
study supports what we are hearing from the major food companies," said
Tom Morrison, Organic Alliance CEO. "Today's consumer is highly motivated
to consume healthy, organic foods and will pay the premium for the inherent
benefits," said Morrison. "Organic Alliance is prepared to help the food
manufacturers and retailers meet this demand through our existing and future
global organic strategic sourcing arrangements," stated Morrison. MORE

An Organic Immunity to Rising Food Prices
Irvine, Ca June 25,
2008 –
“The apparent recession doesn’t seem to have affected consumer interest
in organic foods, leading to the clear conclusion that consumers see healthier
foods as imperative items and not luxury goods that can be pared from the
grocery list in cost-cutting times,” stated SmallCap Sentinel analyst Brian
Kelly. “As consumers battle rising food and gas prices, many traditional
purchases such as vacations are out- but not organic foods.”
“According to a study
that was released recently at the inaugural Healthy Foods International
Exposition and Conference, which tracked 1,000 consumers from November
2007 to May 2008, data gathered supports the premise that organic foods
are essential items,” Kelly added. “With study participants indicating
they are willing to pay a premium for healthy foods, the study suggests
to the organic industry that they market products in a way for consumers
to manage their health conditions; offer more private-label and prepared-food
solutions in the healthy foods category; and make more locally grown and
natural products available at the supermarket.”
“Additionally, the fact
that the data in the study asserts that organic and healthy foods are invulnerable
to present reductions in recessionary spending has to be viewed as bullish
toward an increase in organic purchases throughout the recession and perhaps
in greater quantities when the recession has subsided,” said Kelly. “It
would seem reasonable to expect consumers to further increase their healthy
food spending if and when there is greater discretionary income in a healthier
economy.”
“Companies such as Organic
Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ORGC), which sources various organic products
through arrangements with farmers, co-ops and other growers, must be emboldened
by this study,” Kelly added.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas,
June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
ORGC - News; OAI).
If you have been watching the news lately or been to any restaurant, you

Organic Alliance Announces Plan
to Open in August an Executive Sales & Marketing Office
in Bakersfield, California
Company targeting large food processors
as customers for over 50% of its gross revenues through multi-carload,
multi-year contracts with organic crop growers
PRINCETON, N.J., June
10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
ORGC - News; formerly NBDL) released details on its plans to become one of the world's leading providers
of USDA certified organic crops to many of the country's leading consumer
packaged goods manufacturers, food processors, grocery, and retail restaurant
chains. The company is also announcing that its sales & marketing headquarters
will open in Bakersfield, CA in August 2008. Bakersfield is centrally located
for organic trading, according to company CEO Tom Morrison.
Consumers have embraced
organic foods as a lifestyle change while the major food companies and
retailers play catch-up to some of the niche organizations (Whole Foods,
etc.) that have focused heavily on organic. There exists no question as
to the strong consumer demand for organic foods with 2007 sales of approximately
$19 billion. Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI"), led by organic farming and
industry veteran Tom Morrison, intends to fill a significant and problematic
void facing major food companies such as Kraft, Unilever, and Sara Lee
and mainstream grocery outlets including Costco, Safeway, and China's Lotus:
reliable sourcing of organic fruits and vegetables from growers. These
organizations are struggling to source high-quality, source-certified,
organic produce to be sold as end product to consumers or to be used as
ingredients for a more complete organic food alternative. MORE
