ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2022 / Costas, Inc. (OTC PINK:CSSI) ("CSSI" or "the Company"), doing business as Standard Dental Labs Inc., reports that it has recorded 3rd quarter gross revenues of $44,770 in its most recent quarterly financial report. The third quarter revenues are the result of the recent acquisition of operating assets, including customer contracts and lab equipment, from Prime Dental Labs with an effective date of September 1, 2022. The reported revenues are the Company's first recorded revenues under new management from planned dental lab acquisitions and operations.

Now that Standard Dental Labs expects to report ongoing monthly revenue, the Company has also filed a supplemental notice to shareholders notifying them that the Company is no longer a "Shell Company", as defined under Rule 405 of the US Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 405"). The removal of the "Shell" symbol on the OTCMarkets landing page, once removed by OTCMarkets, will be a significant milestone for Costas, Inc., and evidence of the Company's continuing effort to improve corporate governance and disclosure compliance for shareholders. The determination to remove Shell status is at the sole discretion of OTCMarkets, and is not an indicator of any compliance issues.

The Company will continue to make efforts to acquire more dental labs in the Orlando, Florida region, with the goal of consolidating those labs into one, larger location where we will be able to capitalize on the economies of scale and joint experience.

In 2022, the dental lab industry is estimated to be a $10B market in the US (source: Grand View Research, Aug. 2021) and continues to grow. Therefore, consolidation within the industry, represented by 7,000+ privately owned businesses, is the Company's focus. In the process, the Company will be positioning itself as a leader in setting new standards for the dental lab industry. It expects to continue identifying suitable acquisitions in the coming weeks and months, focusing on becoming one of the largest operators in the industry.
