The success with these custom formulated products is a significant step forward as we attract new business opportunities. Ingredients for the custom formulated Laguna Blends products can be manufactured at the recently acquired 12,000 square foot, POS Bio Processing Centre (BPC) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The POS BPC facility has the ability to produce products for the nutraceutical, medical, natural health, cosmetic and agri-food industries. Pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Purchase Agreement for POS BPC, Naturally Splendid entered into a license and sales agreement with POS Bio-Sciences, whereby Naturally Splendid will have the right to sell and market, on an exclusive basis, five (5) ingredients created using POS Bio-Sciences' technology and to also sell and market, on a non-exclusive basis, additional ingredients created using POS technologies. The ingredients included in the licensing arrangement with POS Bio-Sciences are of high quality sourced plant and marine extracts in the form of powder or oil and will be marketed through Naturally Splendid's recently launched BC Ingredients (BCI) division ( www.bcingredients.com )."

Goodwin summarizes, "The acquisition of POS BPC and licensing agreement for the bio-available plant based ingredients, compliments and enhances the existing opportunities being developed by Naturally Splendid. With this facility, we have the ability to provide products and services for several markets including the robust health and wellness markets whether that is for humans, pets or in the area of animal feed. These ingredients are environmentally sustainable and promote good health and nutrition and are already paying dividends as evidenced by the successful product development for Laguna Blends."
