Information As Of January 24, 2007

''Fiscal year 2006 was one of validation on multiple fronts for Pacific Sands, our management and our shareholders. Through the combination of careful management of our expense structure and a dedication to a carefully crafted marketing and sales strategy, Pacific Sands achieved its first ever profitable quarter in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2006'


Overview

  • Pacific Sands ecoONE(R) products are now sold or distributed by more than 200 retail outlets. The products have also been added to the portfolio of major pool and spa product distribution centers.

  • Pacific Sands, Inc. has required substantially less financing to fund operations primarily because of continuing increased revenues and management's deferral of portions of their salaries.

Profile
Pacific Sands, Inc. is engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution of safe, nontoxic cleaning and water treatment products for consumer and industrial uses. The company's core product lines are nontoxic and incorporate a proprietary combination of blended botanicals, pure mineral extracts and "tuned" enzyme technologies to deliver safe, effective and inexpensive alternatives for household cleaning, pet care and pool and spa maintenance.

In a preliminary marketability study conducted by the Wal-Mart Innovation Network, Pacific Sands core technology received the highest "Success Likelihood Score" ever granted in that program's 22 year history. The founder of the program, Dr. Gerald Udel had this to say in his summary of the evaluation: "(Pacific Sands) has a classic hinge pin technology (and) such technologies are quite rare. Few technological innovations have so many potential applications and therefore, so many opportunities for success."

The current management team of Michael Wynhoff (President/CEO) and Michael Michie (Treasurer and VP of Marketing and Sales) took control of Pacific Sands in June of 2004. Since that time the company has achieved significant and sustained revenue growth. The underlying capital structure of the company has remained largely unchanged. Management accomplished this by re-purchasing company stock from previous management at a discount and re-selling a portion of that stock as restricted shares to qualified investors in order to fund operations and marketing and sales efforts during the transition period.

The company has minimal debt, and expenses have remained manageable and predictable since the management transition. Expenses have increased at a substantially slower pace than revenues, putting the company on a fast track to profitability.

The company has no dilutive instruments such as warrants, preferred stock, debenture or S-8 instruments outstanding. Management options are for restricted stock.

The EcoOne Product Line
"Simplify your life... Naturally With EcoOne" (TM)
 

EcoOne Spa Treatment System

The company's EcoOne Spa Treatment system was relaunched by Pacific Sands' new management team in 2004 and has recently gained acceptance from the nation's top distributors of pool and spa products. The EcoOne system, or an "OEM" version of it, is distributed with thousands of new spas and sold at over 100 spa dealer outlets.

One of the world's top spa manufacturers began including an OEM private-label version of the EcoOne system with every spa they deliver in February of 2006.

EcoOne Spa Treatment is added to spa water, resulting in the finest, easiest to use and safest water conditioner on the market today. Spa water will be softer, clearer, with no odors, no foam and no irritation to the eyes and skin. EcoOne can greatly reduce the need for the vast majority of existing complicated chemical spa care regimens.

The technology in EcoOne Spa Treatment is a unique proprietary formulation of natural enzymes, minerals and plant extracts that contains no chlorine, bromine or other harsh chemicals.

The EcoOne 3 month starter kit contains everything needed to transform a spa into a safe, nontoxic and odor free experience. As a bonus, the kit comes packaged in an attractive and reusable "6-pack" soft-side lunch cooler.

EcoOne Pool Conditioner

EcoOne technology is also applied to larger scale water installations such as pools. EcoOne Pool Conditioner is a nontoxic additive that reduces and/or eliminates scum lines, scaling and cloudy water. It also helps to stabilize pH and alkalinity by reducing chemical overuse. The product is added once a month to condition water.

Product Line Diversification - EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter

Pacific Sands introduced the EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter in early 2005. It is the result of a water chemistry research project based on customer demands and concerns related to initial water quality problems.

The EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter is able to solve most startup spa and pool water problems without the use of chemicals. The product saves money, time, and significant effort by removing or reducing most common water contaminants from the water as it is added to the pool or spa.

The EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter is swiftly becoming a pool and spa industry standard for pre-treating problem water when topping off pools and filling spas and is now distributed through many of the industry's top product distributors.

New Market Application - Pacific Sands All-Purpose Hose Filter

A sister product to the Spa Pre-Filter, Pacific Sands introduced the Pacific Sands All-Purpose Hose Filter to the retail market in June of 2005 via a short format direct response TV ad campaign.

The Pacific Sands All-Purpose Home & Garden Hose Filter easily attaches to either end of a garden hose to provide fresh, pure, clean and decontaminated water for all outdoor water needs.

The filter removes or greatly reduces thousands of common water contaminants and hazards including chlorine, lead, arsenic, mercury, DDT (and other pesticides), hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), VOC's & organic contaminants, dissolved metals and scale-causing minerals.

The product is a "must have" for organic gardeners, pet and pond owners, and parents who want to reduce their children's exposure to chlorine and other contaminants in their outdoor water supply.

Rainforest Blue

Pacific Sands is the master distributor for Rainforest Blue, Bactericide Algaecide. Rainforest Blue is an easy to use bactericide / algaecide system that safely maintains your pool water without the chemical irritation, smell and hassle of chlorine.
Non-irritating & non-allergenic, Rainforest Blue is an EPA registered product that helps keep pools free of algae and bacteria without using chlorine or bromine. One gallon treats an average pool up to 2-3 months.

Household Cleaning Product Line

Pacific Sands launched its Household Cleaning product line in May of 2006. The product line is based on many of the same core technologies found in the water treatment product lines, with different formulation profiles optimized specifically for cleaing and surface treatment applications. The Cleaning Product line introduces new formulations under development since the 2004 management transition.

The products will be offered in whole-house kit solutions, each designed for specific user groups, particularly people with pets, children and environment / health concerns. The multi-product kits will contain a selection of products including EcoOne All-Purpose Household Cleaner, Lemongrass Window and Glass Cleaner, Kitchen and Bath Cleaners, Spot and Stain Removers, Carpet Shampoo, Baby's Nursery Spray and other special application products. The kits will range in price between $25 and $49 per unit and individual products will retail between $3.95 and $7.95.

Pacific Sands will support the launch of the products through a high-impact, brand awareness and direct sales campaign in partnership with the Internet's most popular environmental website, marketing directly to their more than 5 million registered user database. The company has establishing retail and distribution outlets and is contuinously taking pre-orders.

Designed with an overriding emphasis on child safety and indoor air quality, all of the Eco One products contain no VOC's, are chlorine and ammonia free and yet in testing rival the performance, cost and quality of conventional products available on store shelves today.
