Volume 2, Fiscal 2009, August 2009

Financial Results – Q3 2009

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® Tourniquet of 96% and a 174% increase in the T-POD® Pelvic Stabilizer binding system. The company’s CRIC™ Cricothyroidotomy 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® 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® Intraosseous Infusion System which were negatively impacted due to diminished military offensive operations and less severe injuries sustained by military personnel and civilians.

New Pyng Staff Announcements

Over the past few months we have had two new members join the Pyng team:

Bill Saltztein – Vice President of Engineering

Bill has been working with Pyng over the past few months on a contractual basis, assessing our engineering and product development process. Effective July 20, 2009, Bill joined the Pyng team full time as the Vice President of Engineering.

Bill’s extensive background in technology and medical device design will assist Pyng in developing new solutions for trauma medical care, as well as enhancing the company’s existing product lines. Bill founded Code Blue Communications in 2000 to bring Bluetooth wireless technology to medical and industrial markets. For the past several years, Code Blue has primarily provided consulting services to large and small medical device companies in the areas of program management, technology and product development. In 2006 Bill took 2 years off from Code blue to lead the development of a revolutionary home safety product at LifeTone Safety.

Prior to founding Code Blue Communications, Bill served as Director of Advanced Development at Medtronic Physio-Control in Redmond, WA. Before joining Physio-Control, he led product and business development teams at Instromedix and Hewlett-Packard developing both diagnostic and interventional cardiology equipment for Emergency Medicine and Hospital customers.

Bill holds 20 patents associated with battery-powered and portable medical devices, communications and other technologies. His active professional memberships include AAMI, IEEE, and Bluetooth SIG.

Elizabeth Farasy – Regional Sales Manager

Elizabeth Farasy joins Pyng in the newly created role of Regional Sales Manager.

Coming most recently from Medtronic Physio-Control, Elizabeth’s consultative sales approach resulted in converting some of the biggest competitive civilian and VA hospitals in the Western US. Her consistent top-tier performance selling into the Emergency Medical Market, calling on the very key customers that make the buying decisions for our suite of trauma products, will translate well as she works closely with our partners and end customers to expand the breadth of our market presence into hospitals, EMS, and Law Enforcement.

Prior to working for Medtronic Physio-Control, Elizabeth served as District Sales Manager for Vistakon, a division of Johnson and Johnson. Based out of Denver, Colorado, Elizabeth will start by working with and across the entire US market, eventually focusing on the West.

CEO Update

Bob DiSilvio, who assumed the role of interim Chief Executive Officer when Pyng underwent an executive restructuring in March, will now take on the role of President and Chief Executive Officer on a permanent basis.
