BOYNTON BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - May 25, 2010) - Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB: [ PFTI ]), the global bypass oil filtration system manufacturer, today reported results of operations for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $674,000 compared to $299,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $375,000 or 125%.

The Company reported a net loss of $269,000 or ($0.01) per share, basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $682,000 or ($0.02) per share, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2009.

Operating losses decreased by $ 412,000 or 64%, in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the same time period in 2009. Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 121% in 2009 to 60% in 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the significant increase in sales and allocation of fixed and variable factory costs over those higher sales.

Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, stated, "First quarter sales in 2010 were strong compared to the comparable period in 2009. Consequently, in March we hired a new sales associate based in the western U.S. region to manage new accounts and assist with OEM-backed requests. We anticipate that second quarter sales will continue the upward trend of the first quarter, based on our sales results to date.

"In the markets in which we are focused, we are beginning to see renewed activity as a sense of confidence in the economy returns. Ongoing implementation of our business plan in developing these targeted markets has brought Puradyn to the attention of companies looking for credible, intelligent solutions to high operating and maintenance costs. Many are trying to operate with a much smaller resource base and therefore are looking for solutions to reduce overhead in maintaining equipment."

Kroger continued, "Our product is engineered to significantly decrease oil consumption and associated maintenance costs by safely extending oil drain intervals while still allowing oil-lubricated equipment to run cleaner, more efficiently, and more economically. Subsequently, this allows companies to free up technicians to perform other maintenance tasks.

"The interest generated by customers is a strong sign that bypass oil filtration is an intelligent and credible solution to the high cost of owning and operating equipment."

Kroger concluded, "We are encouraged by the demand for bypass oil filtration we have experienced over these past few months and remain optimistic for the remainder of 2010."
