The Pulse Beverage Corporation reported earnings results for the first quarter of 2016. For the quarter, the company's overall net sales, after promotional allowances and slotting fees, increased by $38,000 to $743,000 against negative net sales of $705,000 a year ago, a 5.4% growth. Overall its net sales were less than planned as the company was delayed in switching over to its new coconut water supplier, and as a result net sales of coconut water did not increase as quickly as planned during first quarter of 2016. Net loss increased by $50,000 to $557,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss for first quarter of $507,000, or $0.01 per share. This increase was due to loan interest/fees totaling $120,000 and it is nil in first quarter of 2015.

Pulse expects overall net sales in 2016 to increase as it expands its markets internationally into Mexico, China and Canada.
