Pure Technologies Ltd. Business Update

Pure Technologies Ltd., TSX-V: PUR, released the following update on business activities for 2009, and the outlook for 2010, based on preliminary unaudited financial results:

-  Full-year revenue is expected to be more than 35% greater than the
        $22.2 million generated in 2008. This has been achieved through
        growth in all aspects of our business.
     -  EBITDA, excluding foreign exchange losses, is expected to grow by
        more than 125% over the $1.7 million EBITDA for 2008.
     -  Recurring revenue for the year is expected to be approximately
        $3.5 million, compared to $2.5 million in 2008.
     -  Gross margin for the year is expected to remain in excess of 60%.

Total confirmed backlog (contracts in place) plus notified contract awards currently stands at $33.5 million, excluding recurring revenue. Based on current visibility, we expect to maintain a high rate of revenue and EBITDA growth through 2010, excluding the impact of any acquisitions that may be completed during the year.

We have identified the following sectors and regions which we expect will help to deliver growth in addition to our current markets through 2010 and beyond:

-  Leak detection, inspection and condition assessment in the wastewater
        sector:
        We expect to generate opportunities as a consequence of increasing
        regulatory scrutiny, particularly in the US, where the Environmental
        Protection Agency is implementing Consent Decrees on wastewater
        agencies as a means of addressing sewer overflows and discharges. The
        wastewater market is at least as large as the water market, and
        suffers from a dearth of effective inspection and condition
        assessment technologies. We will leverage our newly-acquired robotics
        capability, as well as SmartBall(R) and new in-line inspection tools
        to be introduced in the near future, to establish a strong presence
        in this sector. The acquisition of Jason Consultants in late 2009
        allows us to add value to our technology offerings in the space, as
        Openaka has done in the prestressed pipe market.
     -  Mexico and South America:
        We increased our business development activities significantly in the
        large-diameter pipe market in these regions in 2009, and we expect
        this investment to result in an increase in commercial activity in
        the near term.
     -  Middle East:
        The establishment of our Abu Dhabi office will allow us to pursue and
        service business in the Middle East region, where there is an
        increasing awareness of the need to conserve water resources. We are
        currently in the process of planning a number of SmartBall(R)
        demonstration projects, and we are also pursuing large-diameter
        pipeline management opportunities. We expect the region to generate
        meaningful revenue in 2010.
     -  East Asia:
        Through our Chinese partner, Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, we
        have identified several high-value opportunities for pipeline
        inspection and monitoring. We are in the process of establishing an
        office in Hong Kong in partnership with a local company to service
        these opportunities and to grow our general inspection and monitoring
        business in Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan.

While our cash reserves will be reduced in the short term in order to service our growing backlog, we expect our working capital position to strengthen considerably as the year progresses. We plan to maintain our commitment to investment in research and development and in international business development, and we continue to pursue opportunities for acquisitions.
