Pyng Medical Corp. Reports Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - December 15, 2010) - Pyng Medical Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PYT) today announced its financial and operating results for the year ended September 30, 2010. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.

The Company achieved strong financial results in fiscal 2010 due to the significant sales increase in the fourth quarter. Annual sales of $7,088,837 set a new record as the highest level of revenue in the Company's history and the net income before tax rose 700% to $392,415. Gross margin for the year ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $4,834,539, an increase of $493,909 from $4,340,630 reported for fiscal 2009. The gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 72% to 68%, due primarily to the strengthening Canadian dollar during the fiscal 2010. The total operating expenses of $4,442,124 dropped to 63% of sales compared to $4,403,534 or 73% of the sales for fiscal 2009 due to cost-saving measures that the Company implemented which resulted in lower legal costs, consulting fees and other operating expenses.

The Company also reported a net income after tax of $283,415 for this year, or earning of $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $246,904 or loss of $0.02 per share for fiscal 2009. Earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes ("EBITDA") from continuing operations increased to $1,041,438, 15% of the sales compared with the EBITDA of $395,788, or 7% of the sales for fiscal 2009.

For the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded sales of $2,633,795, which increased by $915,523 or 53% compared with $1,718,272 for the comparative quarter of fiscal year 2009.

The significant increase in sales largely contributed the increase in the net income before tax.

The operating activities generated $995,898 in cash before any changes in working capital, up $646,229 or 185% from $349, 669 for fiscal 2009, which was primarily due to the increased sales and non-cash expenses incurred during the year.
