SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

Agribusiness

Stevia First Corp (OTC.QB: STVF) is an R&D-based agricultural biotechnology company engaged

in the cultivation and harvest of stevia leaf and the development of stevia and other related products.

Stevia First has developed fermentation-based stevia production capabilities which bypass the need for

traditional stevia farming. The Company’s strategy is to leverage its proprietary break-through tech-

nology to establish a vertically-integrated enterprise that controls the process of stevia production from

plant breeding through propagation, planting, cultivation, and harvesting, and which develops, mar-

kets, and sells stevia products.

The Market for Stevia

The market for sugar substitutes is valued at approximately $6 billion. Stevia is growing rapidly

within this sector of the sweetener market due to increased awareness about the dangers of sugar, and

large beverage companies are very interested in the space. The primary issue is that there is not

enough supply. For a company like Coca Cola that spends billion of dollars a year on sweeteners, they

would need between 3-5 times the current aggregate global capacity of stevia to meet their demands.

To meet this demand using an antiquated agricultural (ag) based supply chain is impossible. Stevia

First is bringing an innovative ag-biotech production method to the table to dramatically increase yield

and lower production costs which is drawing the attention of the major beverage companies.

Product Development & Strategy

After successful development of its unique method of stevia fermentation, Stevia First is now ready to

scale-up its commercial operations. The Company’s first product will be an efficiently-produced Reb

A sweetener that should be able to compete effectively with other stevia-derived Reb A products once

on the market. The higher-grade sweetener product, referred to as SGN95, is still being developed.

Commercialization

Over the past few months, the Company has formed a partnership with Qualipride, a major overseas

stevia supplier, that has given Stevia First exclusive rights to its supply chain. Qualipride has sales of

350 metric tons of stevia extract last year, and they have a supply chain that can support more than

1,000 metrics tons of high purity Reb A., a product that sells for $100,000 per metric ton ($100 million

in potential revenue). Based on this partnership, the Company will be able to fulfill long-term supply

contracts with major beverage companies.

Before the end of 2014, the Company intends to commercialize both a stevia resale and distribution

business through its deal with Qualipride as well as an enzymatic enhancement process, converting a

low value stevia extract that costs $30-$40/kg into a high purity, high value Reb A product that mar-

kets for $100/kg. Neither business requires any additional outside capital. Longer term, contingent

upon securing capital and/or finding a strategic partner, the Company intends to build its own Califor-

nia-based extraction/purification facility and also support an ag-supply chain.

Investment Highlights

Stevia First is in the process of patenting proprietary fermentation methods to produce larger

quantities of higher-grade steviol glycosides (Reb A) from Stevia leaf.

Intellectual property related to steviol glycoside production using fermentation.

Stevia extract is expected to become a major player in the $55 billion global sweetener market.

Management and board contain leaders in biotechnology R&D with 20+ years.

Investment Conclusions

Its partnership with Qualipride transforms Stevia First from a developmental stage R&D organization

into a large scale commercial marketer of one of the largest stevia supply chains in world. In addition,

it is one of the most vertically integrated stevia companies in the world with preferential access to raw

materials at a lower cost than are available to other buyers. With its stable supply chain combined

with its agri-bio technologies, Stevia First is a game changer is this nascent sector. It is an attractive

strategic acquisition target for PureCircle (LSE: PURE), a leading provider of high-purity stevia prod-

ucts to the global F&B industry or any major food, ingredient, or beverage company looking to secure

a low-cost stevia supply chain.
