  BOYNTON BEACH, FL, Apr 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB: PFTI) today announced
financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Net sales
decreased by approximately $387,000, or 13%, from approximately $3.08
million in 2007 to approximately $2.70 million in 2008. Domestic sales
generated from U.S. operations decreased approximately $300,000, or
approximately 20%, in 2008 as compared to 2007. Although consolidated
international sales decreased by approximately $87,000, or 6%, U.S.-based
international sales increased approximately $400,000, or approximately
113%, in 2008 as compared to 2007. Net loss in 2008 was approximately
$2.64 million or ($0.08) per share, basic and diluted, as compared to a
net loss of approximately $2.44 million or ($0.09) per share, basic and
diluted, in the previous year.

    Loss from operations increased to approximately $2.33 million in 2008
compared to approximately $1.88 million in 2007 due to the decrease in
international sales. Cost of sales decreased by approximately $376,000, or
13%, from approximately $2.83 million in 2007 to approximately $2.46
million in 2008. Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales,
decreased from approximately 92% for 2007 to approximately 91% for 2008.
The majority of the decrease in our overall cost of sales is attributable
to the 13% decline in net sales.

    Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, stated, "Even though our year end
numbers were below expectations, we have been encouraged by the sales
performance of our product prior to the recent economic downturn. In 2008
we continued to make significant inroads into our markets. We received our
first U.S. Army contract to supply puraDYN(R) systems for the MRAP vehicle
family and continue to ship product for installation on trucks going to
Iraq and Afghanistan. Avis/Budget Group began installing our systems on
its buses and announced it has made our system standard on all new buses
in North America.

    "Additionally, we successfully reached a milestone after several years of
work with John Deere; in August, its Forestry Division announced our
system is being installed on all equipment under contract with Russia and
specified it will be mandated on all equipment targeted for 'extreme duty'
applications."

    Kroger continued, "We know 2009 is going to be a difficult economic year
with fallout from the major banking crisis and auto and home industry
issues curtailing spending, leading to a general lack of available working
capital. However, we have sized our company accordingly and still have
managed to make significant progress with companies servicing the energy,
construction and mining industries."

    Kroger concluded, "We will continue our efforts with major original
equipment manufacturers and are seeing signs that oil conservation and
reduction of 'carbon footprint' are becoming key issues when purchasing
new equipment."
