BURNABY, B.C., Canada, Jan. 14, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pyng Technologies Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange:PYT) (OTCBB:PYNGF) is pleased to announce that subsidiary Pyng Medical Corp. has reached sales of over $247,800, the highest quarter ever, for Fiscal Year 2003-Q1 ending December 31st, 2002. This is a 72 percent increase over the previous quarter. The average monthly sales to-date for Fiscal Year 2003 now exceeds $82,600 per month, which is approximately 68 percent ahead of the average monthly sales for Fiscal Year 2002, which ended September 30th, 2002.

In October 2002 we passed another milestone, $1,000,000 in sales revenue since the F.A.S.T. 1 was introduced. We are ending this year with our month of highest sales, which was $137,000, a great way to end a year and to start the New Year. Military sales have been particularly strong over the last quarter. Effective January 10, 2003, we have already received $98,800 in new orders.

The F.A.S.T. 1 System for Adult Intraosseous Infusion has been adopted for use in over 500 different ground ambulance services, aero-medical emergency and transportation services, and military groups, including U.S. Special Forces and U.S. Marines, serving active duty since it was first introduced. The U.S. Coast Guard also has adopted the System in specific locations as have the medical services group at the Whitehouse. The F.A.S.T. 1 System is a disposable medical device, which is replaced after use by the sites utilizing the product. No doubt about it, the F.A.S.T.1 System is being used every day to save lives.

Plans are now underway for our AGM, which will be announced as soon as we have completed our agenda. The AGM is expected to be in March of 2003. Pyng continues to interact on a strategic partnership and to seek capital to expand its markets. These markets have now been enhanced with our quality approvals to ISO 9001, EN46001, ISO 13485 and a CE Mark for Europe.
