Q4 ENDED SEPTEMBER 30th 2016 HIGHLIGHTS:
"I am extremely pleased with our revenue performance in Q4 of fiscal 2016 as two important milestones were achieved. Firstly, total revenue of $4.17 million represents a record for iFabric and secondly, and more importantly, our Intelligent Fabrics division recorded its first quarter of sales of more than one million dollars. I am confident that sales in this division will continue to grow as our industry leading proprietary technologies, like PROTX2®, are adopted across broader ranges of products by the global brands and industry leaders that purchase these technologies from us," stated Mr. Hylton Karon, President and CEO.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:
Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric, provided the following comments regarding the business outlook for iFabric and financial performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and the 2016 fiscal year:
"Our Intelligent Fabrics division has secured a strong customer base across all segments of our target markets, including medical scrubs, hospital curtains, bedding, sportswear, yoga wear, outerwear, travel luggage and accessories, plastics and footwear amongst others. Our product offerings have been adopted by some of the world''s leading brands. We will be working with these customers to integrate our technologies in more and more of their future product offerings. In addition, we anticipate adding several additional key customers during fiscal 2017.
Whilst we have seen some slippage in Apparel sales because of currency challenges and the phase out of Splendid® branded products, the official market launch of Maidenform® branded sleepwear has been set for the spring 2017 season with initial shipments to commence in January 2017. We completed a small test of Maidenform® sleepwear in the first quarter of 2017 (October to December 2016) and the sell through at retail has been beyond our expectations. For this reason, we have high expectations for the potential for growth in this program. In addition, we have developed several new products to be added to our core bra and accessory ranges and will also be launching these during fiscal 2017. Accordingly, I am confident that we will see reasonable sales growth in our apparel division in 2017 and significant growth in 2018 and beyond."
