"I am extremely pleased by the strengthening of our balance sheet in the current quarter and am confident that the Company is well positioned to finance imminent sales growth for both the ladies apparel division and the intelligent fabrics division," stated Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric Corp.

Mr Karon provided the following brief updates with regard to the operations of both of its divisions:

Apparel

"Our current focus in the apparel division is the fine tuning of our current programs to ensure that we maintain margins at the highest possible levels. We are doing this ahead of our scheduled marketing efforts for major new Maidenform programs which are being launched later this year. I am particularly excited about the new Maidenform sleepwear category which further exploits a market niche that is currently doing very well for us. Early reaction to Maidenform sleepwear has been excellent and I am anticipating strong demand for these products in 2016 and beyond."

Intelligent Fabrics

"Bulk trials for certain of our major customers have been completed and for others they are nearing completion. Whilst these trials have taken longer than we were anticipating, a major benefit for the division is that, in reaction to customer demands, we have developed many more recipes for integration of antimicrobials into a far broader range of fabric blends than was our initial focus. This leads us to the conclusion that major brand distributors have greatly increased their interest in antimicrobials and other textile technologies and that these will be integrated into substantially more of their future offerings of apparel, sportswear, outerwear and footwear than is currently the case. We have also started development work to integrate antimicrobials into a number of products offered by our own apparel division, which I believe will add a further segment of potential growth for both divisions.

We are currently receiving projections from major customers for integration of PROTX2 into their full production cycles covering the next twelve months and beyond and once all of these are in hand we will provide investors with a further update in this regard."
