KANATA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 26, 2009) - Pacific Safety Products Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PSP) ("PSP" or "the Company"), a leader in the field of protective body armour and soldier systems equipment, today announced revised revenue guidance for fiscal year 2010, which ends on June 30^th, 2010.

Mr. David Scott, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The Company has reviewed its current sales opportunities and as a result is revising its projection for revenue in fiscal year 2010. A trend has emerged of reduced core sales in Canada which management now believes will impact the full year. Many of our major customers are government departments and agencies at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. These organizations are increasingly coming under budget pressures as governments attempt to reduce spending in light of the current economic environment. This is being translated into lower sales volume and a reduced number of larger one off opportunities for PSP. This is a trend which began in the U.S. market last year but was for the most part offset by an increase in international orders serviced out of our U.S. operation. Although the U.S. market is slowly showing signs of recovery, we do not expect a recurrence of large international orders to offset the reduction of our core product sales in Canada as international customers are also struggling with budget constraints. Core product sales are substantially down from our plan and our revised revenue projections assumes that the current trends will not improve during the balance of this fiscal year. Accordingly PSP is now projecting revenue for fiscal year 2010 of between $25 and $30 million."

Mr. Scott also added, "The Company is taking immediate action to address this shortfall both through expense reductions in Corporate, Operations and Administration as well as tightly focused sales initiatives associated with our newly certified NIJ06 products. Management believes that these actions will buffer the Company from the worst effects of this downturn and also position it well when markets recover."
