In August of 2000, Pacific Sands began raising money under a convertible debenture program. The program allowed the option of full repayment plus 8% per annum, or the right to convert such debt at a rate of 75% of the bid price the day prior to the date of election of conversion. All debenture holders under the program elected to convert their debenture into shares of the company immediately. The last monies raised to date under the program were received and converted by the company in August 2001. Under the terms of the debenture, the company has the ability to raise an additional $20,000. The company choses to reserve its right to raise this remaining amount indefinitely for possible large order fulfillment or operating expenses. As of today, Pacific Sands, Inc. has a total of 18,250,990 shares outstanding according to its transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer. There are currently no outstanding debenture obligations. While the company has raised in excess of $200,000 under the debenture program, due to the return of shares by company president Stanley Paulus and others, it is in the rare position among Over The Counter Bulletin Board companies of carrying a total number of outstanding shares lower than that of a year ago. At this time, the Company has no material commitments for any significant capital expenditures. It is currently discussing non-equity financing arrangements with several sources for large order fulfillment.
