Share:

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 18, 2009) - Pyng Medical Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PYT) released its unaudited third quarter fiscal 2009 results for the period ending June 30, 2009.

An exclusive prime vendor agreement was signed with Tri-anim Health Services, Inc. (Sarnova LLC) to extend the company's products into the hospital market. Tri-anim Health Services will exclusively distribute the FAST1(R) Intraosseous Infusion System for IO procedures and the TPOD(R) Pelvic Stabilizer to various hospital facilities within the US.

Pyng Medical's June 2008 asset acquisition of BioCybernetics International products is beginning to pay dividends, both in revenue contribution and our strategic objective to diversify the customer base. The company's focus on building the EMS and Hospital customer base is evidenced by the Q2 to Q3 revenue growth in the MAT(R) Tourniquet of 96% and a 174% increase in the T-POD(R) Pelvic Stabilizer binding system. The company's CRIC(TM) Cricothyrotomy System, having received the European medical CE mark is expected to be shipped in September to Canada, Europe and Asia-Pacific distributors.

The Company's sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $1,288,743 and sales for year to date were $4,307,905; which was comparable to $4,380,943 for fiscal 2008 year to date. Our flagship product, the FAST1(R) Intraosseous Infusion System, is the largest selling Sternal IO System with over 197,000 units shipped to-date.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $388,451 providing a gross margin of $900,292 or 70%. Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased from $922,528 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $879,603 for the third quarter fiscal 2009. On a percentage basis, operating expenses increased from 57% of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to 68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company recorded a net loss before tax of $101,518 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. This was attributed to the sales of the FAST1(R) Intraosseous Infusion System which were negatively impacted due to a decreased injury rate for military personnel and civilians.
