Pacific Sands Books 11th Consecutive Quarter of Same Quarter Sales Growth -- Fiscal Year to Date Sales up 41%
Market Wire, May, 2007
Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB: PFSD), a leading provider of environmentally friendly pool and spa care products, is pleased to report the company's 11th straight quarter of same-quarter sales growth.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, net sales were $151,486, an increase of 10.7% over $136,805 in sales booked for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ending March 31, 2007, net sales were $377,612, an increase of 41% over $267,387 in sales booked for the same period in 2006.
The increase in sales is attributable to a number of factors including more retail outlets carrying the ecoONE® spa treatment products, increased direct Internet retail sales and an OEM contract with a major spa manufacturer which includes privately branded ecoONE® starter kits with their new spas sold. Anticipated growth rate was slowed somewhat in the third quarter due to two major customers delaying early stocking orders.

Gross profits for the nine months ending March 31, 2007 were $201,815 compared to $149,781, an increase of 34.7% over the same period the previous fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management believes that the company is positioned for sales growth but will require additional funding to continue operations and expansion. The company's ability to achieve its objectives is dependent on its ability to continue to sustain and enhance its current revenue stream and to continue to raise funds through loans, credit and the private placement of securities until such time as the company sustains fiscal profitability. To date, the Company has funded operations and expansion through a combination of revenues from the sale of its products, established credit with vendors, deferred salaries and the sale of Rule 144 stock through private placement. The Company's failure to continue to raise adequate financing to fund planned expansion may jeopardize its plans for growth.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16,080 on March 31, 2007 versus $4,977 on June 30, 2006.
Total current assets as of March 31, 2007 were $149,712 compared to $201,845 on June 30, 2006. Of the current assets, the company had $67,674 in trade receivables on March 31, 2007 versus $112,587 in trade receivables on June 30, 2006 and $57,419 in inventories versus $77,069 in inventories on June 30, 2006. The reduction in trade receivables is partially a reflection of a more aggressive collection stance taken on the part of the company. Additionally, the company experienced a sharp surge in sales in the latter part of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 with accounts receivable carrying over into the first quarter.
Total assets were $198,417 on March 31, 2007 versus $241,492 on June 30, 2006. The reduction in total assets is roughly commensurate with reduction in accounts receivable and inventory.
At the end of the period ending March 31, 2007 accounts receivable had a balance of $67,674 and total current liabilities were $507,462.
Included in Total Current Liabilities is $264,280 in deferred compensation.
Deferred Compensation includes combined salaries of $159,280 owed to Company CEO Michael Wynhoff and CFO Michael Michie, who deferred substantial portions of their salaries for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007. Mr. Wynhoff and Mr. Michie continue to defer these past-due salaries until the company is in a position to pay.
