Interesting Points about PFSD:
Relatively low number of outstanding shares. Company has managed to finance its four year development stage without going over its mere 20 authorized shares.
Company has achieved a very stable trading range for the previous 18 months in the .12 to .18 area.
Company has significantly better capital structure and the vast majority of OTCBB stocks. Currently there is no outstanding debentures, no warrants, no preferred stock and no outstanding options.
The company reported dramatic rise in quarterly revenues last quarter, apparently attributable to increase revenues from its Eco One line of spa care products and the completion of the initial Hurriflo flow wastewater treatment system.
Over the past 12 months the company has gone through the transition from development stage to sales and marketing. It has actually managed to reduce its number of outstanding shares during that period of time through responsible management recovering shares from non-performing previous employees. Additionally, the CEO of accompanying returned nearly one million shares of his own stock to treasury in order to finance the transition without dilution.
Previous to press releases released by the company in November of last year heralded significant turning points for the company.
The exposure that the company gets as a result of its alliance with pool and spa.com in and of itself is substantial news. Poolandspa.com has in excess of 10 million visitors per year and over 50,000 recurring customers. Pool and Spa.com recently began sales push of the Eco One line of the pool and spa products including banner ads on its popular Web site and inclusion in news letters that go out to tens of thousands of pool and spa users. The president of poolandspa.com has referred to the Eco One line of spa care products as revolutionary and more.
Attending the International Pool and Spa Expo in Phoenix, AZ last fall represented a significant turning point for the company. It was the first time in the company's history that it has shown the confidence in its products, marketing tools, and sales force needed to introduce it to national marketplace. New retail outlets equal new customers equal increasing revenues. There are billions of dollars of pool and spa products sold in this country every year.
The current marketing and sales effort of the Eco One line of spa care products can potentially given the company the exposure, credibility and track record it needs to secure conventional financing for its future products based on the same technologies.
The Company's core, enzyme-based technology has applications ranging from industrial wastewater treatment to pet sprays to cooling tower treatments to household cleaning products.
The company was recently profiled in the Central Valley Business Journal of California.
Industrial Initiatives:
Pacific Sands is currently engaged in the development and installation of Hurriflo Wastewater Systems in the region surrounding the corporate headquarters in Clovis, California. Through local on-site research and development in central California, it is the goal of the company to standardize the Hurriflo family of industrial water treatment systems to a modular product line that can be marketed and sold through third party wastewater contractors worldwide.
The Hurriflo family of water treatment systems includes industrial and agricultural wastewater treatment, pond systems and cooling tower treatment plants. Hurriflo systems are designed to incorporate filtration, decanting, bio-enzymes and ozone to purify water. The goal of the Hurriflo family of water treatment systems is to provide a safe, nontoxic alternative to the use of toxic chemicals often used in industrial water treatment.
Hurriflo Wastewater Treatment Systems:
In August of 2000, Pacific Sands began installation of the first Hurriflo Wastewater Treatment System at a food processing plant in California. The system has since gone through extensive testing and modification aimed at creating a core wastewater treatment solution for use in the food processing industry.
Using a combination of filtering, pH balancing, ozone introduction and enzyme treatment, the Hurriflo system can save manufacturers from having to pay massive environmental impact fees related to wastewater discharge. In some instances, the Hurriflo system can pay for itself in less than a year by simply reducing EPA fines, impact fees and sewage charges.
The Hurriflo system requires minimal maintenance and can dramatically reduce monthly "expendable" costs when compared to polymer separation and chemical-based systems.
Each Hurriflo system solution is different due to size of client's operations and amount of contaminants during daily discharge. All installations are customized to the needs of the customer.
Eco One Cooling Tower Treatment:
Eco One Cooling Tower Treatment cleans as it conditions cooling tower water naturally, easily and without the problems associated with toxic chemical treatments. Eco One Cooling Tower Treatment dissolves away oils and contaminants, breaking them down into harmless carbon dioxide and water. This nontoxic compound softens water and helps reduce mineral buildup. It helps in breaking down existing scale, reducing the need for acid cleanings or wire brushing the cores.
Eco One Cooling Tower Treatment is marketed in conjunction with the Hurriflo systems as part of a complete industrial water treatment package.
Commercial and Consumer Initiatives:
Pacific Sands Eco One line of spa treatment products is the first in a proposed line of Eco One, enzyme based water treatment solutions. Pacific Sands is working to expand the Eco One line to include pool treatment, general household cleaning products and pet sprays as well as commercial additives for pools and spas.
Environmental Initiatives:
Pacific Sands is, at its core, an environmental company. The goal of the company is to develop and market water treatment solutions that do not incorporate toxic substances in the treatment of recreational and wastewater. Hurriflo systems are designed to use a minimal amount of energy and resources while delivering results comparable to, or better than, conventional systems.
All of Pacific Sands products are 100% chlorine free. |
