(ASX: AJX) (OTCQX: AXXIY) is pleased to provide an overview of the development of the sales pipeline for the first four months of 2015 and the outlook of the significant opportunities in the U.S. markets for the remainder of the year.
This year, Alexium has been focused on achieving revenue growth and expansion of its brand in the marketplace. Alexium has achieved clear and demonstrable progress toward both.
Alexium is on target for a strong first year of revenue as it is currently working with more than 20 customers in pre-production, production and scale-up, with a total potential 2015 addressable market for the company of more than US$10M.

In late 2014, Alexium was contracted by Batelle to provide a 50/50 nylon-cotton fabric with an environmentally-friendly flame retardant solution for the United States Department of Defense Natick Soldier Systems Center''s Green Initiative. That fabric was delivered to Natick in April of this year and successfully passed or exceeded all of Natick''s requirements, leading to Alexium being downselected to the next stages of development. Alexium and Natick are currently working to finalize funding for the next stage of development which is expected to run through the next several months. Based on historical volumes, , representing a huge opportunity for Alexium.
In addition to the efforts with Natick, Alexium is actively and aggressively engaged with multiple potential customers to launch a 100% nylon FR product, which has multiple applications across the military branches, but primarily in the U.S. Army. Alexium is also in the final stages of commercial scale-up with a major provider of military strapping to the U.S. military. Within the military sector, Alexium:

In addition to a very active and aggressive portfolio of defense sector product development and sales opportunities, the backbone of Alexium''s 2015 revenue potential lies in the commercial sector given speed to market. Alexium''s efforts are currently focused in three textile areas: transportation, home furnishings and outdoor fabrics.
Alexium continues to see strong progress in the U.S. transportation market, which encompasses automobile, aviation and public transportation.

Currently, Alexium''s efforts have been most active in the home furnishings market -- which includes upholstery, drapery, floorcovering and bedding -- due to a number of different factors. First, California Law TB-117-2013, which went into effect on January 1 of this year, changed the landscape of upholstery testing, effectively driving the FR burden of the furniture away from the foam and on to the fabric, with a parallel effort in California to meet the new standard in an environmentally-friendly way. Secondly, the bedding industry has seen a major trend where the public is widely recognizing the role of quality sleep in general health and well-being, which is directly resulting in a large upturn in the sale of high-end mattresses and bedding, all of which require durable FR solutions. As a result, the durable, environmentally-friendly nature of Alexium''s products are resonating within that industry, of which the FR-solution portion alone is estimated to be .
