Pacific Sands, Inc. Reports Fiscal Q1 Revenue Growth, Strong Pipeline of Orders Entering Fiscal Second Quarter

 

Racine, WI, October 28, 2011 — Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCQB:PFSD.PK) (www.pacificsands.biz), which manufactures environmentally friendly, non-toxic liquid and powder cleaning, laundry, and water treatment products, announced today it anticipates sales for the fiscal 2012 first quarter ended September 30, 2011 will be $350,311 (unaudited), which would represent an 11.3% increase compared with sales of $314,779 in fiscal first quarter 2011.

Management anticipates sales in October, 2011 will exceed $210,000 – nearly 75% of total sales in fiscal second quarter 2011 – and that fiscal second quarter sales could exceed $400,000, which would be 36% higher than the prior year’s fiscal second quarter. The company recently announced revenue for the year ended June 30, 2011 was 39% higher than the previous year. Pacific Sands has set a goal of $2 million revenue in fiscal 2012, which would represent 28% growth compared with fiscal 2011.

“Fiscal 2011 was a watershed year of significant revenue growth, transitioning to profitable operation, and sharply reducing debt while strengthening working capital,” said Michael Michie, president and CEO. “With a strong pipeline of orders across all product lines, efficient manufacturing and distribution capabilities, and invigorated marketing, we are enthusiastic about the coming year.

“Fiscal 2012 is off to a fast start. Our branded Natural Choices products and ecoone pool and spa treatment products continue to receive a very positive reception, and we have steadily expanded our private-label business. Consumers are embracing effective, non-toxic products in growing numbers. We anticipate our operational and expense improvements and double-digit revenue growth will drive profits and significantly enhance shareholder value.”

Recent Highlights

  • The company is attending the International Pool, Spa, and Patio Exposition in Las Vegas in early November, and expects to pre-sell ecoone branded products next week, building on last season’s strong growth in pool and spa water treatments.
  • Pacific Sands’ recent sale of its Internet and retail sales segment will result in nearly $100,000 profit in fiscal second quarter 2012 and enable the company to completely focus on its rapidly growing manufacturing and distribution business.
  • The company hired veteran Peggy Stover as vice president, marketing and sales, to lead brand development and sales.
  • In fiscal 2011, Pacific Sands reduced total liabilities 63%, which has resulted in a significant reduction of interest expense.
  • Turning a working capital deficit to a working capital surplus in fiscal 2011 has enabled the company to accelerate order fulfillment.
  • In addition to enhancing shareholder value through increasing profitability, a significant tax-loss carry forward should result in several years of no tax liability.

OXY-Septic: New Product New Web Page

Pacific Sands / Natural Choices is pleased to introduce OXY-Septic to our Natural Choices “Pro-X” line of environmental products for home use.

VISIT: OxySeptic.com for more information or ecoGeeks.com to BUY NOW.

Professional Septic System Drain-Field Cleaner and Maintainer

• Nontoxic and Fast Acting OXY-Septic works faster than enzyme products and leaves no chemical residue.

Avoid Clogged Drainfields With OXY-Septic available at www.ecoGeeks.comAvoid Clogged Drainfields By Using OXY-Septic 

• Increase Flow and Improve Long Term Stability OXY-Septic increases fluid flow immediately by breaking up solids with concentrated oxygen. Oxygen stimulates beneficial Aerobic Bacteria, increasing your drain field’s efficiency.

• Save Thousands of Dollars – This inexpensive treatment can help prolong the life of your drain field and help to avoid costly repairs in the future.

OXY-SEPTIC is a Natural Choices’ oxygen bleach especially formulated for use in septic systems. OXY-Septic is an environmentally safe product that naturally reacts with the buildup of sulfides in the drain-field (also called leach fields or absorption fields). This chemical reaction produces oxygen and a nontoxic material which flows and allows the soil’s bacteria to work. The oxygen does two things: 1) aids the growth of the soil’s natural bacteria and 2) reduces the soil compaction creating passages for water to flow. There are no toxic by-products left in the soil after using OXY-SEPTIC.

Letter Received From OTC Markets

Dear Michael L. Wynhoff,

OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM) operates the largest electronic marketplace for broker-dealers to trade unlisted stocks.

Because of our investment in technology, the vast majority of regulated brokers-dealers have chosen to quote your company’s (OTCQB: PFSD) securities on our superior electronic interdealer quotation system. Your shares are designated on our system as trading on the OTCQB tier, where investors can easily identify companies that file current information with a U.S. regulator, such as the SEC. To make sure that the marketplace is well-informed, we are currently providing FREE real-time quotes in your stock for your investors on www.otcmarkets.com.

As many of you have inquired about the continuous migration of broker-dealer quotes moving off of FINRA’s OTC Bulletin Board, we would like to provide you with an update on the reasons that have driven this move, and what impact, if any, this will have on investor trading and access. There are also some misperceptions due to the fact that some financial websites have not updated their systems and are not displaying accurate quotes (or no quotes at all) and are mistakenly showing SEC reporting companies as Pink (sometimes showing .PK on the end of their tickers).

We want to assure you that as long as you are current with your SEC reporting obligations or (for banks) current with your bank regulator filings, we will not be labeling you as trading on the OTC Pink tier (formerly known as Pink Sheets). We want to inform you that you can direct your investors to www.otcmarkets.com to get accurate information on professional real-time quotations. Companies quoted on our platform that report to a U.S. regulator are either designated as OTCQB, or, for companies that successfully take the steps needed to qualify, OTCQX®, the highest tier of the OTC marketplace.

I highly encourage you to view our OTCQB fact sheet here:http://www.otcmarkets.com/content/doc/ps/OTCQBfactsheet.pdf. This can be sent to your investors to explain what has happened and what it means for your stock to trade on OTCQB. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please keep an eye out for future communications from myself and my colleagues at OTC Markets Group. Over the next year we will be introducing some exciting new services for OTCQB companies like yours, and will be looking for your feedback and input on how we can create a better and more informed marketplace for your investors.

Regards,

Joe Oltmanns

Roundy’s Update

Roundy’s Update:
We received our first OXY-Boost reorder today from Roundy’s.

OXY-Boost on shelf at Pick n' Save

OXY-Boost on shelf at Pick n' Save

This is particularity exciting because we really have limited resources to provide regional marketing support at this time and yet the product seems to be selling fairly well on its own.

If you haven’t tried this product, or have been buying it from ecoGeeks.com, please pick some up on your next visit to Roundy’s, Pick n’ Save, Copps, Metro Market or Rainbow. The performance of this product will amaze you.

If and when we are able to get the rest of the laundry line picked up, a whole new world of potential for marketing support opens up to us.

I’ve been meeting with some Milwaukee / Racine marketing and design firms over the last couple of weeks to prepare for this eventuality. We are also planning on a number of interesting web and possibly cable videos.

Mick

OXY-Boost in Roundy’s news

This is very exciting news for Pacific Sands / Natural Choices on a number of levels.

While the Natural Choices and “OXY” branded products have been selling well and achieving a ‘fan base’ via the Internet and smaller specialty and grocery stores, Roundy’s represents our first venture into a major grocery chain.

What we are working to achieve is to replicate this success with more grocery and pharma chains and eventually spread the Natural Chocies / OXY products nation wide.

Sales beget sales, so if you are a Pacific Sands investor or supporter of our mission, please consider buying OXY-Boost the next time you’re in any of the many Roundy’s outlets.
