puraDYN Explains Change in Institutional Ownership Summary - Chairman Addresses Stockholder Questions

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla.--Nov. 2, 20051, 2005--puraDYN Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB:PFTI) addressed recent information contained in summary reports regarding shares of PFTI common stock owned by Quantum Industrial Partners, Ltd. resulting in a number of phone calls from investors unnecessarily concerned that the Company's largest stockholder was no longer designated as an institutional investor.

Joseph V. Vittoria, Chairman, said, "Recent reports on financial websites may have erroneously suggested that one of our stockholders, Quantum Industrial Partners, for which Soros Fund Management LLC acts as the principal investment advisor, had sold its 4,570,000 shares of puraDYN common stock. In fact, Quantum Industrial Partners continues to hold all of these shares."

A recent change by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) removed puraDYN's stock from the list of securities required to be reported in quarterly institutional investor reports on Form 13(f), effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The financial websites incorrectly inferred that the absence of the puraDYN position from the third quarter 13(f) report filed by Soros Fund Management LLC was due to a sale that had occurred since the prior 13(f) report, when in fact it was due merely to the removal by the SEC of puraDYN common stock from the list of reportable securities.

Mr. Vittoria concluded, "Quantum Industrial Partners is our largest and longest-held stockholder and they continue to maintain their position in our Company. The filing change has no adverse effect on the continued growth and activity of puraDYN Filter Technologies, Inc."
