FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TRIANT RANKED NUMBER 242 FASTEST GROWING TECHNOLOGY COMPANY IN

NORTH AMERICA ON THE 2003 DELOITTE TECHNOLOGY FAST 500

VANCOUVER, CANADA — OCTOBER 14, 2003 — Triant Technologies Inc. (TSX: TNT; OTCBB: TNTTF) today announced that it ranked Number 242 on the 2003 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years, from 1998-2002. Triant grew 1293 percent during this period.

Triant’s CEO Robert Heath credits a strategic financing, which enabled Triant to establish the market leadership position in Advanced Process Control (APC) for the semiconductor industry, with the Company’s 1293 percent revenue growth over the past five years. Mr. Heath said, “Triant is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for APC solutions, which is driven by the ever-increasing complexity in semiconductor manufacturing.”

“Growing the top line enough to make the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is especially meaningful during tough economic times for the technology sector,” said Mark A. Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. “We congratulate Triant Technologies Inc. on becoming one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America.”

The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s 20 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 1998 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CDN for the United States and Canada, respectively; and 2002 operating revenues must be at least $1 million USD or CDN. Deloitte researchers examined financial statements to validate operating revenues.

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in North America and must be a “technology company,” defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies’ technology in a unique way does not qualify.
