BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and include the accounts of OurPet’s Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), Virtu Company (“Virtu”) and SMP Company, Incorporated (“SMP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008.

INVENTORIES

The Company derives its revenues from the sale of proprietary pet products under the OurPet’s, Pet Zone, SmartScoop, ecopure Naturals, Play-N-Squeak, Durapet, Go! Cat Go!, and DockDogs labels. Net revenue is comprised of gross sales less discounts given to distributors and returns and allowances.

STOCK OPTIONS

In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No.123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which revised FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and superseded ABP Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (ABP 25”) and related interpretations. FAS 123R requires the grant-date value of all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest, including employee share options, to be recognized as employee compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and applied the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, the Company (1) did not restate any prior periods and (2) is recognizing compensation expense for all share-based payment awards that were outstanding, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, based upon the same estimated grant-date fair values and service periods used to prepare the FAS 123 pro-forma disclosures. The amount of compensation expense recognized in 2008 and 2007 as a result of stock options is not material.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted net income per Common Share is based on the net income attributable to common stockholders after preferred stock dividend requirements for the period, divided by the weighted average number of common and equivalent dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares whose effect would be antidilutive have not been included. As of March 31, 2008, common shares that are or could be potentially dilutive include 1,035,500 stock options at exercise prices from $0.21 to $1.55 a share, 4,336,509 warrants to purchase Common Stock at exercise prices from $0.284 to $1.444 a share and 660,000 shares underlying the Preferred Stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share. As of March 31, 2007, common shares that are or could be potentially dilutive include 980,500 stock options at exercise prices from $0.21 to $1.05 a share, 3,994,984 warrants to purchase Common Stock at exercise prices from $0.285 to $1.215 a share and 660,000 shares underlying the Preferred Stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,which provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of the FAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. FAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007 provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which removed leasing transactions accounted for under FAS No. 13 and

9

related guidance from the scope of FAS No. 157. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2,Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157,which deferred the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“FAS 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview

OurPet’s develops, designs, produces and markets a broad line of innovative, high-quality accessory and consumable pet products. These products include healthy feeding systems to improve the health and comfort of pets, interactive toys that provide fun, rewarding mental and physical challenges for pets, innovative maintenance to enhance the required maintenance needs of pets, and healthy consumable products for achieving and maintaining high mental, physical and immune levels of pets. Examples of products in each of these categories include the following.

Healthy Feeding Systems	-	Pet Diners
		Stainless Steel Bowls
		Automatic Feed and Water Dispensers
		Portable Dog Products
		Domestic and Wild Bird Feeders
Interactive Toys	-	Dog and Cat Toys
		Plush Toys
		Food Delivery Toys
		Talking Bird Mirrors
Innovative Maintenance	-	Self-scooping Cat Litter Boxes
		Waste Management Products
		Premium Cat Litter
Healthy Consumables	-	Nutritional Supplements
		Ice Cream Alternatives
		Gourmet Gravies
		Gourmet Sprays

These products are manufactured by domestic and foreign subcontractors and then sold by us to retailers and distributors who then sell the products to the end consumer. According to the 2007/2008 APPMA National Pet Owners Survey approximately 71.1 million U.S. households currently own a pet with an estimated pet population of 74.8 million dogs, 88.3 million cats and 16.0 million birds.

As discussed below and in Liquidity and Capital Resources on Pages 12 and 13, we have funded our operations principally from net cash provided by operating activities and with bank borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2007 and from borrowings in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Under our line of credit facility with our bank we can borrow up to $2,000,000 based on the level of qualifying accounts receivable and inventories. At March 31, 2008 we had a balance of $1,500,000 under the line of credit with the bank at an interest rate of prime plus .75%.

10

In February of 2008, we entered into contribution agreements with six contributors, all of which are affiliated with the Company, pursuant to which each contributor loaned certain funds to us totaling $600,000. These funds will be used by us for expenses related to litigation on certain of our SmartScoop™ products and for expenses related to new product development. In consideration for these loans we (a) executed promissory notes due in two years with interest accruing at prime plus 2%, (b) issued warrants for the purchase of 300,000 shares of our Common Stock at an option price of $0.825 per share and (c) entered into piggyback registration rights agreements with the contributors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the following discussion all references to 2008 are for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and all references to 2007 are for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net revenue for 2008 was $2,905,264, an increase of 12.5% in revenue from $2,583,370 in 2007, consisting of net sales of proprietary products for the retail pet business. This increase of $321,894 was accomplished despite a reduction approximately $154,000 in sales to our two major customers due to soft retail sales and inventory adjustments. This sales decrease was more than offset by an increase of approximately $476,000 in sales to other customers including both sales of new products and sales to new customers. Total sales to all customers of new products in 2008 that were not sold in 2007, including the new Play-N-Squeak products, Healthy Pet Diners, and SmartScoop™ product items, were approximately $819,000. Our sales to foreign customers increased by approximately $29,000, or 30%, from 2007 mainly due to increased sales to customers in Canada.

While net revenue increased by 12.5% in 2008, cost of goods sold increased by 7.5%, from $1,896,505 in 2007 to $2,038,401 in 2008. This increase was the result of the cost of purchased products sold and freight increasing by 5.1% due mainly to the increased amount of purchased products needed for the increase in sales in 2008. Our variable and fixed warehouse and overhead costs increased by 17.9% from the comparable quarter in 2007 due to increased costs for salaries and wages for additional employees in warehouse operations. Also, costs increased due to the rental cost for our new warehouse which started in June 2007, increased costs for depreciation for warehouse equipment, and increased warehouse and shipping supplies.

The net revenue increased by 12.5% and the cost of goods sold increased by 7.5%, which resulted in our gross profit on sales increasing by 26.2%, or $179,998 from $686,865 in 2007 to $866,863 in 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2008 were $654,203, an increase of 22.4% or $119,523 from $534,680 in 2007. The significant increases were in (i) increased salaries and wages, payroll taxes and employee benefits of approximately $46,000 due to two additional employees in sales and marketing and the increased accruals for managers’ bonus and employee profit sharing, (ii) increased sales and marketing expenses of approximately $32,000 mainly due to promotional expenses by our customers, increased cash discounts allowed to our customers resulting from higher sales, and advertising of our new products in trade magazines, and (iii) increased commissions accrued for our sales representatives of approximately $14,000 due to the increase in our sales for the quarter on which commissions are paid.

The income from operations improved by $60,475 from $152,185 in 2007 to $212,660 in 2008 as a result of our gross profit on sales increasing by $179,998 or 26.2%, which was more than the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $119,523 or 22.4%.

Interest expense for 2008 was $44,793, an increase of $6,053, from $38,740 in 2007. This increase was primarily due to the interest expense of approximately $7,000 for the new promissory notes payable to the six contributors executed in February 2008.

Income before litigation expense increased by $52,137 or 45.1% from $115,513 in 2007 to $167,650 in 2008 as a result of the income from operations increasing by $60,475 or 39.7%, which was more than the increase in interest and other expenses of $8,338 or 22.7%.

11

Litigation expenses were $559,122 for legal fees and expenses in 2008 as a result of us defending patent infringement actions filed against us in late 2007 by a competitor alleging that our SmartScoop™ self-scooping cat litter box infringes on their patents.

The net loss for 2008 was $(391,472) as compared to net income of $115,513 for 2007 or an decrease in profit of $506,985. This decrease was as a result of the following changes from 2007 to 2008:

Net revenue increase of 12.5%	$	321,894
Cost of goods sold increase of 7.5%		(141,896	)
Gross profit on sales increase of 26.2%		179,998

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operating activities provide cash by the sale of our products to customers with the principal use of cash being for the payments to suppliers that manufacture our products and for freight charges for shipments to our warehouse and to our customers. Our investing activities use cash mostly for the acquisition of equipment such as tooling, computers and software. Our financing activities provide cash, if needed, under our line of credit with our bank that had approximately $500,000 in available funds at March 31, 2008 based upon the balance of accounts receivable and inventories at that date.

As of March 31, 2008, we had $2,619,175 in principal amount of indebtedness consisting of:

Bank line of credit	Prime plus .75%	$	1,500,000
Bank term note	7.60%		231,669
Bank term note	7.75%		62,029
Contributor notes payable	Prime plus 2%		600,000
Pet Zone Products Ltd (“Pet Zone”) term loan	7.75%		97,022
Installment notes payable	6.999% to 7.517%		28,455
Other notes payable	Prime plus 3% & 10%		100,000

The bank line of credit borrowing of $1,500,000 is under our line of credit agreement with our bank which allows us to borrow up to $2,000,000 based on the level of qualifying accounts receivable and inventories. The line of credit agreement is renewable annually by the bank and therefore is classified as a current liability on our balance sheet. Currently the agreement has been renewed by the bank through September 30, 2008. Under our agreements with the bank we are currently required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.15, a tangible net worth of $3,000,000, and obtain permission from the bank for any of the following: (a) to incur additional indebtedness, (b) enter additional leases if it would require total lease payments exceeding $190,280 in any fiscal year, (c) make any expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $300,000 in any fiscal year, and (d) pay cash dividends or redeem any of our capital stock other than dividends on our Preferred Stock subject to meeting the debt service coverage ratio or redeem any of our capital stock.

The installment notes payable are due in decreasing monthly payments from $3,554 to $801 including interest through March 2012. The other notes payable are due in the amount of $75,000 on February 1, 2009, to Beachcraft L.P. and $25,000 on August 1, 2008 to Over the Hill Ltd., plus accrued interest. Our indebtedness, which is secured by liens on our assets, was used to finance our equipment and working capital requirements. The agreements related to such indebtedness contain the customary covenants and default provisions.

The note payable to Beachcraft L.P. was originally for $150,000, $75,000 of which was repaid in 2003. As of February 1, 2004, a new note payable to Beachcraft L.P. was issued to replace the $75,000 remaining balance. The replacement note is due on February 1, 2009 with interest payable quarterly at prime plus 3%. In consideration for this refinancing we issued warrants for the purchase of 56,250 shares of Common Stock to Beachcraft L.P. at an exercise price of $0.30 per share with an expiration date of February 1, 2010. Subsequent to their issuance the warrants were adjusted to 57,204 warrants exercisable at $0.295 per share in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants. These warrants were exercised in 2007.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity will depend on our ability to achieve cash-flow break even on our operations and to increase sales of our products. We recorded a profit of approximately $187,000 for the year ended 2007 and $561,000 for the year ended 2006. Absent a failure to maintain the required debt service coverage ratio and the tangible net worth required by our bank to maintain our line of credit, we should be able to fund our operating cash requirements for 2008. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $180,896. Cash was used by the net loss for the three months of $267,854, including the non-cash charges for depreciation of $112,719, amortization of $6,738, and stock option expense of $4,161. Cash was provided by the net change of $86,958 in our operating assets and liabilities as follows:

Accounts receivable increase	$	(138,360	)
Inventories increase		(370,501	)
Prepaid expenses increase		(82,085	)
Patent costs increase		(11,890	)
Other assets increase		(58	)
Accounts payable increase		567,247
Accrued expenses increase		122,605
Net change	$	86,958

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $103,846, which was used for the acquisition of property and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months was $335,663 from the issuance of long-term debt of $600,000 and cash of $264,337 was used for the repayment on the bank line of credit and principal payments on long-term debt.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES/ESTIMATES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The application of these policies may require management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We estimate net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

13

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for possible impairment by evaluating whether the carrying amount of assets exceed its recoverable amount. Our judgment regarding the existence of impairment is based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance of our assets. Future adverse changes in legal environment, market conditions or poor operating results could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

Research and Development Expenses.Research and development expenditures are charged to operations when incurred and are included in cost of goods sold. If funding is not available from operations our ability to develop new and/or improved products could be adversely affected.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a current of future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10-Q, statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “anticipates”, “intends”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Uncertainties, risks, and other factors that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from any results of performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q include: (1) our ability to manage our operating expenses and realize operating efficiencies, (2) our ability to maintain and grow our sales with existing and new customers, (3) our ability to retain existing members of our senior management team and to attract additional management employees, (4) our ability to manage fluctuations in the availability and cost of key materials and tools of production, (5) general economic conditions that might impact demand for our products, (6) competition from existing or new participants in the pet products industry, (7) our ability to design and bring to market new products on a timely and profitable basis, (8) challenges to our patents or trademarks on existing or new products, (9) our ability to secure access to sufficient capital on favorable terms to manage and grow our business, or (10) our ability to successfully defend the alleged patent infringement actions against us.

Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the first quarter of 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
