    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The Business Concept

    Seven SeasSeven Seas (Seven SeasSeven Seas or the Company) is the operating name of Canadian corporation2047586 Ontario Inc. It specializes in the manufacturing and processing of natural seasponges. The Company has been in business for over three years (the owner's experienceis more than 15 years) and during that time it has established a very loyal repeat customerbase.

    Seven SeasSeven Seas is one of the largest producers of natural sponges in North America. TheCompanyhas relationships with its own network of harvesters throughout the world andit imports the sponges directly. The Company provides almost all of the natural seasponges used in Canada by the paint and hardware market as well as the bath andcosmetic industry. These sponges are sold under the Companys own brand as well as

    many private labels. Seven SeasSeven Seas is located in Scarborough, a former borough of Toronto,Canada.

    Seven SeasSeven Seas will take advantage of the strong market demand for natural sponges to driveits growth. Sea sponges can be used for a variety of different applications such as:

    Make-up applications

    Cleansing a babys delicate skin

    In the bath or in the shower

    Washing a car

    Washing windows or the walls

    Sponge painting and faux finishing

    Enjoyment as a decorative ornament.

    Natural sponges have intriguing shapes and a warm golden color. They feel soft, smooth,silky on the skin, and their fleecy texture will not scratch or harm any surface nor irritatethe skin. All of Seven SeasSeven Seas sponges are environmental friendly as certified by theBahamas Chamber of Commerce.

    The Company expects to gain a profitable market share within a very short period oftime. Determinations have been made for the size of the market, amounts of budgeted

    advertising and promotion dollars, and the number and kinds of distribution channels.

    Projections call for the Company to generate revenues of $1.96 million in its next twelvemonths. Seven SeasSeven Seas will achieve strong growth in succeeding years, reaching $4.52million in revenues and more than $955,000 of net income by the fifth year.

    The Market Opportunity

    Global Sponge Market

    The current world sponge market is worth approximately $40 million annually, accordingto recent research. In this well established market, it has been said, The earliest recordof people trading in sponges, or gods trading in sponges that we've been able to find, isin the Iliad by Homer, so we're looking at an industry that's been established for at leasta couple of thousand years.

    As mentioned, sea sponges come in numerous grades and have many uses, such as (toname a few):

    Shower and bath

    Cosmetic application

    Home decorating

    Paint texturing

    Industrial

    Personal care

    Car care

    Tool cleaning

    Toy creation

    Floral arrangements

    Polishing Shoes

    Ornamental design

    Sponge fibers are made of collagen which makes them more resilient than plastic spongesto acids and harsh solvents and chemicals. In North America, and around the world,sponge diving has been a family tradition for thousands of years. Currently there areapproximately 5,000 species of sea sponges. Distribution of sponges is worldwide,ranging from the worlds warmer Tropical Regions to colder Polar Regions. 3, 4

    Sea sponges are known for their durability and softness, as well as resistance to abrasion,more so than synthetic sponges. Peeling is not a problem in sea sponges like what is seenin synthetic sponges. Other advantages include better cleaning and odor-free properties.Sea sponges are self-cleaning through intricate canals, yet have the ability to hold largeamounts of liquid without dripping.

    Natural Cosmetics & Toiletry Industry Growth

    Current research shows global natural cosmetic sales totaled nearly $7 Billion in 2007; anincrease of $1 billion since 2006, according to the Organic Monitor. Both Europe andNorth America have contributed substantially to the growth of the market.

    Consumer demand for green products is a major driver of natural & organic productgrowth. According to recent studies, The natural & organic sector is the fastest growingin the North American cosmetic & toiletries industry, with sales increasing by 20% ayear. Analysts project that natural & organic products will total 15% of all cosmetic &toiletry sales over the next few years. Increased consumer demand for these products isreflected in sales at: 2

    About Sponges

    Natural sea sponges possess remarkable powers of regeneration, or the ability to re-growlost parts. Commercial sponge growers take advantage of this phenomenon by plantingpieces of cut up sponge much as gardeners plant potato slices to produce many potatoplants.

    The natural sea sponge is a renewable resource that is harvested from the sea. Scientificstudies have consistently confirmed that the regular harvest of natural sea spongesenhances the health and population of the natural sea sponges. The Companys divers donot destroy the roots of the sponges, but they actually cut the sponge in such a way that

    the liquids that are released into the sea, along with the current of the water, help thesponge to re-grow. The life span of a natural sea sponge that is not harvested is about tenyears.

    The Egyptians were the first humans to discover the use of sponges for personal bathing.They also used sponges as padding in suits of amour. Sponges were also used ascontraceptives.

    No man-made material compares with natural sponges for cosmetic bathing, household,painting and ornamental use. The best sponges are located in the deepest waters. The bestharvesting locations for sponges are located in waters where the temperatures generally

    remain above 13 degrees Celsius. Diving for sponges is a rare skill and a daringchallenge.
