This is a health concious baby boomer play. The downside is rising food costs may hamper growth through loss of sales to cheaper products.

Good things catch on slowly. When the world realizes the benefits, they will come home to roost.

This is a company that has many new food products for healthy consumption. Barrons had an article indicating that with their growth rate the could be taken over in 2 to 3 years.
This also is a good hedge against a declining market or a flat market.

outstanding taste - amongst competitors, is far better tasting. In the end, those with the best product win. New national advertising plans should bring this brand to the attention of many others. Lowering cholesterol, no transfats - a "light" version which is much lower in Omega 6 (one of the fats which we need less of in order to achieve a healthier balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6). Have used this for at least last 5 years - haven't found anything better. Now, let's hope management is smart.

1. Company only recently began to bring in revenue, but last quarter they lost $14.29 million, more than they lost when they didn't bring in any revenue.

2. $388.12K in cash with $159.7 million in debt. When your business is producing little or even negative cash flow, it's going to be the shareholders who pay.

3. This is a very competitive market. And seriously, if low fat food really becomes the hot thing (seems like it's already had its day), the major food distributors will take most of the market. A small, newer company like Smart Balance with terrible financials will not make much of a dent.

Part one: Buy what you know. This is in the fridge of my entire family and I just got hooked on using it. It tastes better than both the "healthy" and un-healthy spreads out there. Its price is often lower than most others (this may be more of the grocery store than the product). Both price and health are things people are looking for these days.

part two: 13% insider ownership (good). It's new so it's hard to get tons of data from income/balance sheets (not as good). The debt (157mil) isn't too bad considering how new they are.

I like it.
